This is the main residence of the Mortal family, and almost all the family members are here. The whole main house is a small castle, with an average height of 12 meters and about 380 meters on all sides, with six towers on each side. The fighters inside the castle claimed to be 500 men, but in fact they hid their strength, and according to our observations, there were at least 800 fighters.

Tang Ping nodded approvingly, they camped twenty kilometers away from Fan's family, and then in just one day, the people below basically figured out the general situation of Fan's family.

"Where's their gear?" Tang Ping asked.

When Lao Cui heard Tang Ping's question, he smiled a little contemptuously: "Childe, what equipment do they have there?" In addition to a scimitar or spear each, about thirty archers were seen. As for the armor, only a few of the leaders wear it."

No wonder he looked down on the other party, not to mention now, even when they hadn't met Tang Ping in the past, the equipment couldn't be so bad.

But this is just a local family, not even a small force.

"Old Cui, don't take it lightly, you must know that my goal is to make a name for ourselves while ensuring that we have zero casualties."

"Understood, Childe."

Only Wang Xuance was stunned when he heard it on the side, he was originally a civil official in the past, although he knew that all the most elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty came this time, but there were only two hundred people, and the other party not only had eight hundred people, but also in the castle, the gap between the offensive and defensive forces was four times, even if the equipment gap between the two sides was huge, but zero casualties were required, how could this be?

It's just that Tang Ping has the final say in this envoy group, even if he has doubts in his heart, he won't say it.

"Let's reconnoiter again tonight and find out the location of all the other side's sentinels, the time of the change of guards, the strength of the vigil, and so on."

"Understood, is there anything else? Childe."

"If you go and spread the news again, it will be said that our Rakshasa Mountain bandit group is going to ransack the Mortal Family."

"Spread the word?" Lao Cui was stunned: "Isn't the other party's defense stricter?"

"It won't be much stricter, after all, we are a little-known small mountain bandit group, and the patriarch of the mortal family is proud and arrogant, if we are strictly guarded by a small mountain bandit group that we have never heard of, he will feel very shameless."

Tang Ping's decision was not made with a pat on his head, if he wanted to maximize the name of their mountain bandit group, then notify the other party in advance before making a move.

Then there will inevitably be a more shocking effect after succeeding, and as for whether the Fan family will strengthen its defenses, he doesn't care very much.

Because from all sides, they are crushing the opposite side, and there are various reconnaissance means on the drone, he doesn't think that the other party can set any traps that threaten his side.

Lao Cui nodded, then looked at Tang Ping and smelled, "But Childe, how is this news going to get out?"

Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that only he seemed to be able to communicate with the other party in the local dialect, and it was not easy to enter the territory of the mortal family, and he didn't look like a local.

"Childe, leave it to me, you write the news on paper, and I'll shoot them at the city gate with an arrow." Xue Rengui came up with an idea.

Tang Ping's eyes lit up, this trick is good, this feeling feels like the kind of cartoon of the thief I read when I was a child, I told me in front of you that I was coming, but you didn't have any way to stop me.

The dialects in Tianzhu are a little different, but the text is still unified, Wang Xuance wrote the content on a piece of paper according to Tang Ping's meaning, and then handed it to Xue Rengui.

And Xue Rengui got on the horse directly and went towards the castle of the mortal family, and when he arrived at the land in front of him, he flew over with an arrow without saying a word, and then ran away without looking back.

If the family can gain a foothold in the local area, it naturally has a good relationship with the surrounding forces, and it has never met such a direct provocation.

The guards guarding the door did not dare to slack off, so they directly pulled out the arrow and ran towards the family council room.

The patriarch of the mortal family and others are positive

Fortunately, when the council chamber was discussing whether to join Aronashun, he saw the guards hurrying in.

"Patriarch, this was shot at the city gate just now."

"Bring it up!" The patriarch of the Vandi family touched his beard with one hand and took the strip of cloth with the other, and his beard was also the most satisfying place for him.

As a result, when he looked at the contents of the strip of cloth, his hand was slightly forced, and he actually pinched off two whiskers.

"Bold, where did the little thief come from? Why don't you take our mortal family in your eyes so much? Have you ever heard of the Rakshasa bandits?"

"Rakshasa? Nope!"

"Now there are bandits everywhere, but they are basically petty fights, and there are actually mountain bandits who dare to come to our mortal family to seek death?"

"I haven't heard of any bandits nearby, could it be that they came from somewhere else?"

"Master, this is an extraordinary time, please take precautions."

The patriarch of the Mortal Land family looked at the two whiskers on his fingers, shook his head and said, "What precautions should be strengthened? A mountain bandit group that we have never heard of before says that they are going to come to rob, so we must strengthen our precautions, so one will come tomorrow and one the day after tomorrow, won't it be endless?"

"The head of the family is reasonable, I think the other party dares to directly issue this kind of war letter, I'm afraid he just wants to make some benefits in our mortal family."

"A small group of mountain bandits, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter our castle."

Several nearby forces did not dare to move their Fan family easily, after all, a castle with 800 defenders would have to take at least 3,000 troops to attack it, and this was still in the case of siege equipment.

Now a mountain bandit group that has never heard of it says that it is going to rob, is it really true that the more than ten meter-high city wall that their family spent decades building is fake?

Without siege equipment, they don't believe anyone else can attack their family.

Now the slightly larger armed forces have actually been absorbed by various forces, and only they are a century-old family like them, who can maintain their independence because of their good relations with the surrounding parties.

Therefore, to say that a huge mountain bandit group has emerged, in their opinion, it is impossible at all.

Except for the two old men who said that they should strengthen their defenses, the others did not take it seriously.

So just as Tang Ping expected, although Fan's family received the news that they were going to rob, they didn't take it to heart at all.

Even they didn't keep it a secret, and it didn't take them half a day to make the whole family know.

And the other family members must not be panicked, you said that you are coming to attack the family by such and such a force, maybe they will be afraid, just a small mountain bandit group? What are you kidding?

On the night that Tang Ping and the others explained, several guards patrolling the city wall were still joking about it.
