Chapter 32: Luo Tianle's suspicions
"Everyone listen to the order, get out!"
The bandit leader who was fighting fiercely with Luo Tianle saw the change in the situation on the field and hurriedly shouted.
He thought that his troops were divided into four ways, and at least one or two battlefields could quickly gain an advantage, and then support the other battlefields, so as to lay the foundation for victory, so that the team did not even have a chance to turn around.
Who would have thought that the strength of the other party's four martial artists was not weak, especially the young man who seemed to be the youngest, and even resisted the siege of ten of his men.
When they attacked this convoy, they fought a quick victory, and once they entered a protracted war, it would mean that their robbery operation had failed.
Right now.
Everyone in the convoy rushed forward with great momentum, and they had to fight to the end at the risk of losing both, and there was only one way to retreat.
The leader of the bandits has survived in the Green Willow Mountain for many years, and is naturally not a reckless man who only cares about fighting.
When you see the benefits, you will go up, and if there are difficulties, you will retreat.
This is the purpose of his life.
If this team can't be robbed, then change the target, anyway, with their strength, there is no need to worry about not being able to grab the money.
With the bandit leader's order, all the bandits immediately abandoned their opponents in front of them and retreated in his direction in an orderly manner.
Xu Anping pursued them for a while, but saw that they couldn't take the other party, so they had to watch the other party come together.
"The disciples of Xuanyue Sect, the strength is really good, today we are clumsy, let's retreat, heroes, please."
The leader of the bandits said a few words, and slowly retreated with his subordinates with a calm expression.
Xu Anping and Luo Tianle got together, and watched each other's figures burrow into the forest by the road, and then disappear from sight.
A strong battle intent had just risen in his heart, and he was going to wrestle with the other party for a while, and then kill the other party one by one in the form of boiling frogs in warm water.
In this way, you can not only hide your strength, but also release your more and more boiling battle intent.
But what he never expected was that the leader of the other party would be so decisive, and he obviously still had hope of winning, but he just saw that he did not take advantage of it in a short period of time, so he immediately decided to retreat, not giving them a chance to fight a protracted battle at all.
"Are you all alright?"
Luo Tianle glanced at the three of them, and his gaze finally fell on Zhong Lei's injured arm.
I saw that the area below the latter's big arm had already been completely dyed dark red, and the blood was still pouring out of the wound, flowing down the arm to the palm, and finally falling to the ground like a rapid raindrop, seeping into the uneven sand and gravel ground.
"I'm fine."
"I'm fine, too."
Xu Anping and Hong Xiaohao said solemnly.
Luo Tianle walked to Zhong Lei's side, carefully examined the wound, and shouted to the other side:
"Deacon Wan, Senior Brother Zhong is injured, please arrange someone to give medicine to Senior Brother Zhong, we have to continue to be vigilant, it is inconvenient to do it ourselves."
"Okay."
Deacon Wan immediately arranged for a young handyman to come over, carefully medicated Zhong Lei, stopped the bleeding, and carefully bandaged the wound.
Soon, the convoy moved on.
Zhong Lei, who had bandaged his wounds, and Xu Anping, each returned to their posts to guard the surroundings.
On the rest of the journey, the convoy did not encounter any more bandits and left Green Willow Mountain smoothly.
It was approaching evening.
The convoy finally came to the outside of Danfeng City.
Danfeng City is one of the few big cities in Qingyang Prefecture, whether it is area, population, or commercial economy, it is much stronger than Heluo City, where Xuanyue Gate is located.
In Xu Anping's memory, this is the first time he has seen such a big city, although it is not as good as those prosperous cities in the previous life, but this kind of antique city also has a unique flavor.
Xu Anping slowly walked into the city with the convoy and looked around curiously.
"Danfeng City is quite prosperous, much larger than Heluo City, tomorrow Deacon Wan will purchase goods, we will act freely, we can take a walk around the city."
Luo Tianle said beside him.
Xu Anping nodded and did not respond.
Soon, the group came to the inn and rented a small courtyard to live, and Deacon Wan arranged for the handyman to carry the goods on the carriage into the courtyard and take care of them.
Xu Anping and the four of them came to the dining room to eat.
After the dishes are served, the door closes.
After a few people ate for a while, Luo Tianle suddenly whispered, "Do you think something is wrong?" ”
"Huh?"
The three of them looked up and looked over curiously.
"I mean, I always felt something was wrong with the gang of bandits who attacked us yesterday."
"Think about it, have you ever seen a bandit rob a road and still have a face covered before?"
"For example, the two groups of bandits we met today, as well as the bandits we met in the previous two missions, were not masked."
Hong Xiaohao said with a big grin: "It's normal, my Xuanyue Gate is quite powerful, which bandit force is not afraid of a few points?" Once they make a move, if they run away from a few live mouths, it may bring them a catastrophe, and it is normal to cover up their identities with a mask. ”
Luo Tianle shook his head:
"If they were really that scared, they wouldn't have attacked us at all."
"Even if you take the risk of attacking for profit, and you are worried that someone will run away, there is not much difference between masked and unmasked, after all, these bandit forces have their own scope of activity, and they rob the road there, and the cottage must be nearby."
"Think about it, the place where we were attacked yesterday was not a den of bandits like Green Willow Mountain, there were at most three or two gangs of bandits in the vicinity, and the strength of this gang of bandits was not weak, such characteristics are too obvious."
"If they are really retaliated against by my Xuanyue Gate afterwards, they won't be able to hide even if they are masked."
Hong Xiaohao scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "Perhaps, this is their habit?" In short, after all, they are preparing to rob and kill people, and masking is not such a strange thing. ”
Luo Tianle turned his gaze to the other two, and said with a solemn expression: "I suspect that there is a problem, but it is not just a mask. ”
"And one more important point."
"Generally speaking, when bandits attack, they will have a rough judgment of the strength of the convoy, and the strongest leader will often attack the strongest person in the convoy first."
"This is probably equivalent to the combat habits of the two armies when they are facing each other, soldier to soldier, general to general."
"And when that gang of bandits attacked us, the strongest bandit leader rushed directly towards me with a few people, and the people who rushed towards you were only four or five bandits with relatively ordinary strength."
"In other words, they judged that I was the strongest before they even fought."
"It doesn't make sense."
"In terms of age, I look obviously much younger than the two senior brothers, and in terms of figure, I am far less burly and strong than Senior Brother Zhong, under normal circumstances, judging only from the outside, everyone will think that Senior Brother Zhong or Senior Brother Hong is stronger, right?"
"The bandit leader, why did he rush straight at me with his men in the first place?"
Hong Xiaohao's eyes moved, and he said in surprise: "You mean, the other party knew our information before he made a move?" ”
At this time, Zhong Lei, who was always silent on the side, said: "Wait." ”
"Didn't the leader of the gang who gave orders in the last attack just now also attacked you? If there is a problem, do they have a problem too? ”
