After quickly overtaking the caravan, the group continued to the west, and at noon, they came to a small river, and the master of the empty sky found a flat place for everyone to sit down and rest, drink water and eat dry food.

This place is a bit special, there are mountains on three sides, one side is the road when everyone comes, although the mountain is not high, but it has the feeling of dominating one side, from the hillside to the river valley, the terrain is flat, covered with fine sand and gravel, the river zigzags around the hill, extends to the east, and the road follows the river bank, which is also gentle.

"This place, an excellent place to attack caravans." Yan Kun finished eating dry food, drank enough water, got up and crossed his waist and looked around.

"Old man Yan, where did you start?" Although Master Xuyun is older than Yan Kun, everyone in the rivers and lakes calls Yan Kun an old man, so he came out of his mouth.

You see, there are mountains on three sides, and people can be hidden behind the mountains, and from the back of the mountains to the place where we rest, there are fine pieces of sand and gravel, suitable for horseback riding, and they can rush over quickly, and there is a river in this place, and it is possible for the caravans to rest here, as you can see by looking at the bags of food left around.

"Old man Yan, it seems that you have read a lot of military books and war strategies." Yashanzi said.

"I don't read a lot of military books and tactics, and I just know a little bit about using soldiers, but I think it may be useful in the future." Yan Kun said modestly.

"Yan Daxia, where does this start?" Ling Shanzi couldn't help but ask.

"Haven't you seen it yet? The imperial court has not fought for decades, but the Central Plains region is not a country and the people's security, officials are corrupt, bribery is common, the people are not happy, and the people in many places can't live and rise up to rebel, but the scale is not large, and the army is imminent. Yan Kun's generous statement attracted everyone to come around, wanting to listen carefully to Yan Kun's high theory.

"In this way, there are some reasons, everyone does not see the end of the South Mountain, the bandits in the past, at most thirty or fifty-one, but now they have grown to hundreds, and they need to be suppressed by officers and soldiers, if this is the case in all parts of the Central Plains, the country will not be chaotic." Zhang Lingtian also felt the same way.

"Also, the imperial court has co-opted the Sun God Sect, the Tibetan monks, the Northern Shaolin and the Flying Dragon faction in order to deal with the rebellion of the people, which shows that the imperial court is still alert to the unfavorable situation." Ling Shanzi analyzed.

"If this is the case, the Western Regions will also be due to the situation in the Central Plains, and thieves will rise, so we must be more careful along the way." Master Zhang Lingtian said.

"If there is chaos in the Central Plains, which side should we be on?" Zhu Yu suddenly asked a surprising but very realistic question.

"The Central Plains Martial Arts will definitely stand on the side of justice and be happy for the common people in the world." Master Kongkong said righteously.

"How to seek happiness for the mountains of the world?" Lan Ling'er asked.

"Amitabha! The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will know when the time comes, so let's continue on our way. Master Empty said secretly.

Everyone got up and continued to hurry, only to walk out of more than ten miles, they met a group of people and horses coming on, Zhu Yu probably counted, the other party was about 300 people, it was strange that these people on horses, neither like soldiers nor merchants, because soldiers were generally neatly dressed, and these people were dressed in a variety of ways, some wore Hu clothes, some wore long robes, and some wore suits. Merchants carry a large amount of goods, but they carry only a few bags, and in the bags, the shape of swords is faintly visible.

The other party looked at the masters with strange eyes, and the masters also looked at each other vigilantly, neither side spoke, until they staggered away from this group of people for a while, and the old man Yan said, I am really afraid of something, I think, this group of people must be bandits, let's go back and take a look, so as not to rob the caravan behind.

"Amitabha, if these people want to rob a caravan, try not to kill people, just drive them away." Master Empty said.

In order to meet the caravan in front of these people and find a favorable terrain to set up an ambush, everyone left three camels carrying goods, and the master of the sky and the master of Rufeng waited on the side of the road, and the rest of the people advanced lightly, and rushed back with a super shortcut.

When the people came to the place where they had rested, the caravan and the more than 300 people of unknown origin did not arrive.

Yan Kun told everyone to hide under a high slope on the other side of the river, and waited for the two groups of men to come to the other side of the river to see the opportunity.

Half an hour later, when they saw the dust rolling behind the mountain to the west, they thought that the more than three hundred people of unknown origin were about to appear, but after a long time, when the dust cleared, they did not see half a figure, only the neighing of horses or two.

They knew in their hearts that the 300 or so had stopped their journey and had set up camp behind the mountain.

Nearly half an hour later, there was a cloud of dust in the east, and needless to say, the caravan was already coming.

"I hope nothing happens, so that people don't have to kill people." Lan Ling'er said softly.

"Aren't you good at catching dragons, if there will be robbers and robbers later, and you catch the robbers one by one and throw them into the river, will they still dare to rob people?" Ling Linzi said with a smile.

"What a dragon catcher, this is not something that can be practiced casually." Lan Ling'er said with a smile.

"Be careful, everyone, the caravan has passed the pass and is almost at the river, pay attention to my command." Seeing that the caravan was getting closer and closer, Yan Kun said in a suppressed voice.

Zhu Yu looked up carefully, and saw a man riding a tall horse and carrying a machete on his back in the caravan turned a mound, and first came to the river, and behind him, seven or eight strong men with knives on their backs appeared in everyone's field of vision.

These people, Zhu Yu had also seen in the morning, were soldiers arranged by local officials to protect the caravan, and of course, every merchant who was protected had to pay a certain protection fee to the government.

Following the soldiers of this huge caravan, Zhu Yu had secretly counted them before, the ten leading in front, eight in the middle, and ten in the back, a total of twenty-eight, if they encountered a small group of robbers, it was enough to deal with, and if they encountered robbers of hundreds of people, these twenty-eight people would be powerless.

As Yan Kun estimated, after the caravan entered the river, it stopped, and the merchants unloaded the belongings of the horses and camels and put them into the river to drink, and the merchants also sat on the ground and began to eat dry food and drink water, looking a peaceful scene.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded behind the mountain, a group of people were black, riding horses and carrying knives to run towards the caravan, the caravan guards had been still on horses, seeing that there were robbers, they raised their knives and rushed up to meet the enemy, but the enemy was outnumbered, and had to retreat while fighting, seeing that the robbers were about to rush into the merchant crowd.

"Let me do it." Seeing that the time had come, Yan Kun waved his big hand and led everyone to rush towards the robbers.

The robbers saw that someone on the other side of the river was flying up, they were stunned at first, pulled the horse to observe, and found that the other party was only about 20 people, so they put their minds at ease and continued to rush towards the caravan, but what the robbers didn't expect was that these 20 or so people were all martial arts masters, and in just a few rounds, the robbers were turned over on their backs and had to retreat in embarrassment.

The robbers behind did not know what to do, and continued to rush forward, and were knocked to the ground by the masters again.

The crowd didn't want to hurt anyone, so they didn't use their swords, but intersected their fists and palms, and spit out their internal force to stop the robbers from rushing forward, and the robbers charged a few times, and found that the martial arts of the people who stopped them were too strong to fight hard, so they had to fight and retreat.

Zhu Yu observed that there was a tall robber who was directing the robbers to retreat in an orderly manner, so he saw the opportunity, raised his breath, rushed into the robber formation, slapped the scimitar in his hand with a palm of his right hand, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the opponent's collar, lifted it, and flew back into the formation.

When the robbers saw that the leader was arrested, they stopped all of a sudden and looked at Zhu Yu with a look at each other.

Zhu Yu put down the robber in his hand and asked, "Who are you and why did you attack the caravan." ”

When the leader of the robbers was caught, he was not afraid, but straightened his neck and said: "My name is Mierhan, I am from the Great Moon Country, and since I am planted in your hands today, I will kill you as you like." ”

"Tell your people to go back, and I'll let you go, we don't want to kill anyone." Zhu Yu said sharply to Mierhan.

Seeing that Zhu Yu didn't want to kill himself, and at the same time realized that no matter how many people there were today, they were no match for these twenty or so people, Mierhan had no choice but to wave his hand and let his men retreat.
