Chapter 5: Hades Ridge

"This time we got the exact news that the Wang family will give the 'Tiger faction' their filial piety once a year, although I don't know how much, but I am afraid that it will not be less than a thousand taels of silver every year. Liu Qiang's eyes lit up when he said this, he also hesitated for a long time this time, after all, the Wang family must attach great importance to such a major event, and the power of this guard is naturally very strong. It's just that in the past few years, he has more or less figured out some of the escort habits of the Wang family, so he has this action.

"A thousand taels of silver?" Huang Xiao was very surprised, he had never seen so much silver, in the past, he had an ancestral house in his family, and dozens of acres of land, which was worth a total of 200 taels of silver (1 tael = 1000 copper coins, one copper coin is equivalent to one yuan now).

"That's right, at least a thousand taels, I think it's not a way for us to keep going like this, if this time is successful, everyone will have the money to live, and then change places to live in peace. Liu Qiang said, "Moreover, this time it is the 60th birthday of the head of the 'Tiger Faction', I am afraid that the filial piety of the Wang family will be more." ”

"Brother Liu, in the past, everyone was robbing some food and cloth, and these losses were nothing to them, so they just sent a few people or a dozen or so people to escort them, but this time I'm afraid it won't be so simple, you can't act recklessly. Huang Xiao said with concerns.

"I know that this time is a bit risky, but I have not been idle all these years, although the Wang family must have more guards than before, but this time I am still somewhat sure. Of course, just in case, I'm going to go to their must-go place tomorrow, Hades Ridge, and step on it. This time, I decided that all the fifty brothers in the village would take action, and the Wang family had sent 30 people at most at a time in the past, even if this time it was more important, then it should not exceed 50 people. If we have the heart to calculate and set up an ambush in advance in the Hades Ridge where they are going to pass, we have a good chance of success. Liu Qiang said.

"50 against 50, with mental calculation or unintentional, plus the ambush, it does seem to occupy an absolute advantage, but have you ever thought about the strength of both of us? In the stockade, in addition to you, there are only about a dozen people who have really practiced martial arts, and the others can only be regarded as making up the numbers. The Wang family is also a tyrant, and his family's guards are all practitioners, even if they are not as good as you, they can't be underestimated. Moreover, this time it is to celebrate the birthday of the head of the 'Tiger faction', and whether there will be people from the 'Tiger faction' in this cannot be ignored. So, if you want me to say, this operation is very unwise and too dangerous. After Huang Xiao analyzed, he shook his head and said.

After hearing Huang Xiao's words, Liu Qiang's face also moved slightly, he had thought of these in his heart, but he deliberately avoided them, because in his heart he really wanted to take a risk, after all, as long as this time was successful, then there would be no need to live secretly like this in the future.

"Brother Huang, I know that this time is more dangerous, but everyone agrees, and I can't bear to disappoint everyone. This time, I think you can also accompany me to see if I have thought it through, you are readers, you have a lot of ideas, and you have a lot of strategies. Liu Qiang said

Huang Xiao shook his head without hesitation and said: "Brother Liu, you think too highly of me, if you want to say that I can read and write, I am better than you, what kind of schemes, I have never thought about it." However, I'd better go with you, after all, I feel that my "Snake Stalker" has also been a small achievement during this time, maybe I can help a little in other aspects, right?"

Liu Qiang pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I have to say, you really have the qualifications to practice martial arts, in just over a month, you have my strength of eight points, in the village, your strength should be ranked third, that is, the third can crush you." Of course, in a few days, you will definitely be able to surpass him, and it will only be a few months before you surpass me. Well, let's go together, we can't think of things that badly. ”

The next day, Liu Qiang did not take anyone in the village, so he and Huang Xiao went to the Yama Ridge dozens of miles away. If these dozens of miles of road are replaced by flat roads, it will naturally not be far, but the road in this area of Hadesling is extremely rugged and difficult to walk. Huang Xiao and Liu Qiang walked for more than 5 hours, and when they came out of the village, the sky had just brightened, and the sun in the sky of Hadesling was almost sunset.

"It's a really difficult road, and a month ago, even if I had three days, I wouldn't have been able to get here. Huang Xiao gasped, stepped on a boulder outside a slight cliff, and looked down the mountain, only to see that a thin mist had risen under the mountain, and it was no longer clear at the foot of the mountain.

"Of course, your body was really weak before, of course it was impossible to climb this Hades Ridge. Do you know the origin of this Hades Ridge?" Liu Qiang said with a smile.

"Hades Ridge, Hades? I think it's probably dangerous, right? The mountain road here is narrow, steep and difficult to walk, and there is a cliff on the side, if you step on the air, there is a danger of falling off the cliff, this is the place where Hades is urging you. Huang Xiao said guessingly.

"Brother Huang deserves to be a showman, basically that's what it means. I don't know how many lives have been devoured in the abyss below this Hades Ridge, and this is the place where Hades is urging his life. Liu Qiang admired.

"That's strange, it's so dangerous and difficult to walk here, why does the Wang family still have to pass here? With the strength of the Wang family, even if they don't dare to take the avenue openly, they can completely choose some other trails. Huang Xiao was a little puzzled. This time the Wang family will definitely not take the avenue, after all, this time the property is unusual, if it is so blatant, let some people in the rivers and lakes get up, then the Wang family's protector is not their opponent, so most of them are secretly avoiding everyone's sight and choosing some remote paths.

"You don't know this, although this Yama Ridge is extremely dangerous, but walking from here to the provincial capital 'Gaozhou City' can be shortened by more than half a month compared to other places. Therefore, there are still many people here who choose to take this trail. And the Wang family went to the 'Tiger faction', and the trail to guò could also shorten the time by seven or eight days, and this time the property was valuable, presumably they did not dare to waste more time, so they would definitely choose to pass from here. Liu Qiang explained.

"It seems that there are still many people who risk their lives. Huang Xiao smiled, "It seems that they have a great chance to pass by here, let's hurry up and see where the ambush is suitable." ”

"As long as we succeed this time, we will definitely make the old thief of the Wang family vomit three liters of blood, and when I think of this, my heart is happy. Haha~~" Liu Qiang smiled, "Brother Huang, you come with me, I am also familiar with this Yama Mountains, I will take you to see a few ambush places I selected." ”

Before Huang Xiao could speak, he heard a loud laugh not far ahead.

When Liu Qiang and Huang Xiao heard the prestige, they saw two people appear in front of them, Huang Xiao saw clearly, he knew one of them, but he didn't know the other person.

"Second child, why are you here? Who is this friend next to you?" asked Liu Qiang, the second child he said was naturally Liu Gui, a villager in the cottage, and Huang Xiao also knew. Liu Qiang is the owner of the village, and his martial arts are the best, and this Liu Gui's martial arts are only under Liu Qiang.

"Hehe, you are the bandit leader Liu Qiang, is the hard stubble in Old Man Wang's mouth you? ”

Huang Xiao understood this person's words, and Liu Qiang also understood them.
