Chapter 6: The Robbery of Tribute (1)
The section of the road that Dong Canghai chose to hijack the tribute was near the end of the canyon, and this place happened to be retracted at the bottom of the valley below, as if it was a girdle, and even the scattered people and horses had to gather together when they passed through this opening.
At the same time, the cliff here is also the shortest one, only seventy or eighty zhang high from the ground, but there are large trees growing around, which has become the best hideout.
Dong Canghai prepared a rope on the edge of the cliff and pushed the boulder to the edge, and as soon as the rope was cut, the boulder would roll down and smash the opponent on his back.
There are a total of 18 people on the Fangling side, of which Dong Canghai is the highest, for the Melting Qi Realm, Lubei is the peak of the Rigid Force Realm, followed by 15 soldiers led by Hao Tieniu, and the cultivation is above the Qi Accumulation Realm.
There are not many such people, but Fang Ling didn't expect a bunch of people to rush down directly and fight hard with the other party, everything has to be strategic.
It didn't take long to see a group of people and horses coming from afar at the bottom of the valley, the people and horses were divided into three teams, the front, the middle and the back, and there were a total of six people in the front, each of whom rode a tall horse, exuding an extraordinary murderous aura, obviously not an ordinary master.
In the middle were a wagon or two transporting goods, on which were placed several large mahogany boxes, which were firmly tied to the wagon.
In the back of the team there were a total of twenty bandits, each of them fierce-looking, carrying various weapons, although on foot, but the pace was quite fast, apparently trained by walking on mountain roads.
As soon as he saw that there were a total of six people in the lead, Dong Canghai couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, didn't you say that only five people were sent out by the thirteen murderers?"
Lu Bei's gaze immediately fell on the soldier sent to monitor, and the soldier hurriedly replied: "Your Highness and Your Excellency, subordinates and others went to the mouth of the canyon early in the morning to follow them, and when they returned not long ago, there were indeed only five people. ”
Fang Ling waved his hand, signaling that Dong Canghai did not need to blame, he said lightly: "It seems that the other party is worried about the safety of this batch of goods, so one more person has come over, master, can you see who is more?"
Dong Canghai looked at the six people in front of him, and his face changed slightly: "Your Highness, the person who has more people is Zheng Lan, the second-ranked 'belly snake' among the thirteen murderers!"
Fang Ling couldn't help frowning, according to the information he had obtained before, the escorted goods this time were by the fourth, fifth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth thieves among the thirteen murderers, a total of five people.
But I didn't expect that there was one more, and it was the second-ranked master.
Zheng Lan was in the middle of the six people in the front row, this person was about forty years old, wearing a white shirt and a silver snake soft sword wrapped around his waist, his cold face was not smiling, and his whole face was as if it was carved out of stone, and he couldn't see any expression at all.
He is just like his appearance, ruthless, with dozens of life lawsuits in his hands, whether it is a martial arts person, an official state soldier or an ordinary person, as long as he is brushed off, the end is death, so he is called the belly snake.
The thirty-five-six-year-old man behind Zheng Lan's left was Wu Kan, who was ranked fourth, this man was thirty-five or sixteen years old, unusually strong, and carried two large axes on his back, which were said to weigh more than 100 catties each, so that people wondered if the horses under him could bear such weight.
