Chapter 25: The Bandits
The sun hangs high in the sky, and the winter sun is not scorching, on the contrary, it is very comfortable to bask on people. A group of hunters in Tengjiazhuang hurried away with a hearty smile all the way.
"Yongjiang, how much silver did the animal hides sell?" Teng Yongfan asked.
"Lao Wang has done a lot of business with us, and the price is not bad, and those animal skins have been sold for more than three hundred and fifty taels of silver!" said the tall, honest-looking middle-aged man with a smile, "However, it can't catch up with the ferret he caught in Qingshan." ”
"I asked at Vientiane Tower today, intact ferret skin, and they are willing to pay four thousand taels of silver. Teng Qinghu sighed in admiration.
"Ferrets, there is no market, the patriarch is not in a hurry to sell it. But that is Qingshan's great achievement, and the patriarch should give a reward. ”
Teng Yongfan glanced at his son with a smile, his son is strong, and he is proud of being a father, Teng Yongfan smiled and said: "It's enough, isn't it for the clan that everyone fights so hard? But ferret fur is really expensive." This time, my master and I worked hard to build so many Bihan knives, and the money we made couldn't catch up with that of a ferret. ”
The surrounding people couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, Yongjiang, take out the steamed buns and cakes we brought in the morning, let's eat some, this time, we have to walk for two hours." Teng Yongfan reminded him.
"Come, two steamed buns and two flatbreads for one person. ”
Untied a cloth bag, there were wrapped steamed buns and flatbread in the bag, and began to distribute them to everyone, Teng Qingshan also took the steamed buns and flatbread.
Bite and chew hard. Then take out the bamboo tube with water and drink some water.
"This steamed bun tastes really good. Teng Qingshan secretly said in his heart, eating steamed buns, flatbread, drinking cold water, and joking with a group of rude men, Teng Qingshan felt a warmth inexplicably, "I like this kind of life!" Looking at the blazing sun, Teng Qingshan said silently in his heart.
This is a group of honest and simple men.
"Do you know, why is the fourth master of the White Horse Gang called Hong Si?" Teng Yongfan also said happily.
"What else can I have in the name?" a group of clansmen did not know.
Teng Yongfan laughed, and also began to talk to the clansmen about the master 'Yang Fan' chasing down the four brothers of the Hong family.
When Teng Qingshan and a group of them were hurrying, they were five or six roads away from them.
There was a mound on the side of the road, and the mound was full of withered weeds, and behind the mound, a group of bandits was hiding.
"Ergouzi, you are in such a hurry, let me lead someone to ambush here, your brother Lang, you won't spread a fake news and deliberately trick me, right?" A strong man with dark skin, eyes as big as bull's eyes, and a tiger's back and bear's waist, wearing a black cotton robe, holding a thick-backed machete, revealing a chest full of black hair, this person was the leader of the bandits.
The triangular-eyed man said in a low voice: "Don't worry, boss, it's absolutely right." My brother, but he works under a big salt merchant, why did he lie to me? I'm not sure, I'll ride to you on horseback and let you go?"
"I don't dare. The bandit leader sneered, "You go to the front and look at the point, when the person arrives, immediately remind you." ”
"Howler. This thin man with triangular eyes has a flexible body, and he ran directly more than ten zhang away, staring at the road.
"Brother, are we enough?" Beside the bandit leader was a handsome young man.
"Don't worry, third. According to the two dogs, there are thirty-one people on the other side, and one of them is just a little guy. Actually, it can only be regarded as thirty people! Our one hundred and three brothers, mother, give them a few waves of bows and arrows to taste, they are estimated to fall most of them, and the remaining eleven or twelve, we rush up, and it is not easy to kill them all? Hmph, if it weren't for the fat sheep with 10,000 taels of silver tickets, I wouldn't have bothered to bring so many brothers. The bandit leader said with a sneer as he plunged a machete into the dirt on his back.
"Brother, it's better to be careful, the other party is a hunter after all. The handsome young man reminded.
"What are you afraid of? Your brother and I are alone, and with a knife, we can cut them crying and calling for their mother!" The bandit leader spat fiercely, scolding and scolding in his mouth.
It's been a long time.
"Boss. The triangular-eyed man not far away rushed over with a bow, his face full of joy, "The fat sheep is here, and it is about a hundred zhang away, and the group of people are wearing animal skins, and I recognize it from afar." ”
The bandit leader's eyes lit up, and the bandits around him were all excited, but none of them made a sound. These bandits are habitual bandits, and they know it very well...... At this time, you must not reveal your whereabouts.
"Brothers. The leader of the bandits lowered his voice and looked hideous, "Wait a minute, the hunters will approach, and when I give the order, the brothers will lash them together." It's best to shè death at the beginning. When the silver is robbed, let's go to Chūn Xiangyuan and be happy!"
The bandits all laughed, but their eyes showed a murderous light, like beasts ready to attack.
......
Teng Qingshan and his group didn't know that there was an ambush ahead, and those robbers and bandits had already begun to take out arrows and prepare to attack.
The movements of the robbers and bandits were so light that they could not be heard by ordinary people.
"Huh?" Teng Qingshan's ears moved, and he glanced at the mound in the distance.
As a strong person in the inner boxing, and trained since childhood, Teng Qingshan's six senses are extremely sensitive, and ordinary people have already discovered it before they get close to him. When he was in Yicheng, the triangular-eyed man had looked at Teng Qingshan and them a few times from afar, but after all, there were too many people in Yicheng, and Teng Qingshan didn't notice it at all.
But this is the wilderness!
There was silence all around, and there were hundreds of people hiding behind the mound in the distance, all of whom were preparing to attack, even if they were well hidden, Teng Qingshan still noticed something.
"Daddy. Teng Qingshan suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" Teng Yongfan wondered.
"Everyone, stop. Teng Qingshan's brows furrowed, and a group of clansmen immediately looked at him, Teng Qingshan lowered his voice, "Have you seen ......it?" Behind that mound, there should be people lurking. And there are quite a few people!"
A group of clansmen couldn't help but change their faces.
Teng Qingshan glanced at the mound and thought quickly in his mind.
In the previous life, those professional agents didn't want to get close to Teng Qingshan without Teng Qingshan discovering it, and although these robbers were habitual bandits, after all, they were not as professionally trained as agents and killers in their previous lives, and they were still far behind in terms of concealment. Plus hundreds of people together, without making some sounds, it is unlikely.
"Brother Fan, what should I do?" Many clansmen around looked at Teng Yongfan.
Teng Yongfan stared at the mound, and said in a low voice: "There is no other way, we have to go back!" So in this way, let's take a detour and walk from the field next to us. Bypassing the mound from afar, if they were to be us, they would be unable to resist rushing out. Keep them at a distance and prevent them from sneaking up. ”
"Okay, that's it. ”
The clansmen had no choice but to do so.
Teng Qingshan and a group of them walked down the road and entered the field, keeping a distance of thirty or forty zhang from the mound, so far away, even if ordinary bows and arrows could be reached, the power was very weak.
......
"Damn it!" the bandit leader's face changed when he noticed this, "this group of hunters has discovered us. ”
"Boss, what are we going to do?" said the triangular-eyed man.
"What else can I do?" The bandit leader's expression was hideous, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, "Lao Tzu is over a hundred people, and you are still afraid of them? Brothers, listen up! Wait a while, rush with Lao Tzu, and when the archers get close, they will give Lao Tzu a fierce shè and kill them all." ”
Those bandits are all full of murderous energy, which one of them does not have a few lives on his hands?
......
Teng Qingshan deliberately walked on the far left, because the mound was on the left.
"Those robbers and robbers shouldn't have come to rob us. Teng Qinghu lowered his voice and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't worry if you're dealing with us or not, get ready. Teng Yongfan's expression was solemn, and all the clansmen were highly concentrated, either holding spears or longbows. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, living in this world, if you want to live well, you must be ruthless.
One by one, they held their breath.
"Kill!" a violent roar sounded from behind the mound, and a swarthy man with a thick back machete rushed first. He was followed by a large crowd of people who rushed down from the mound like wolves.
"Attack!" Teng Yongfan shouted violently.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ......
Tengjiazhuang's side took the lead in sending out arrows, but they were far away from each other, and there were too few people on Tengjiazhuang's side, and there were only twelve people with bows and arrows, and the first wave of arrows only hurt the arm of a bandit.
"Brother Fan, there are too many of them, what should I do?" many clansmen said eagerly.
"Brother Fan, you take the silver ticket, rush back first, we will block it here. "There are also people who go crazy in the face of death.
......
The leader of the bandits was holding a machete, and when he saw that the hunters were starting to panic, he couldn't help but laugh proudly: "It's so far away, a group of stupid people, hum, but the arm strength is not small, and it can be so far." At this moment, the leader of the bandits was surprised to find that a young hunter on the other side was rushing towards him with an iron spear.
It's blazing fast!
"Look for death. The bandit leader sneered, "Archer, shè!"
Now the distance is already within shè distance, and among the more than 100 robbers, there are more than 40 people with bows and arrows. Because Teng Qingshan was the first to rush towards them, it was natural that many arrows were directed towards Teng Qingshan.
"Little one, you have courage, but you're stupid. The bandit leader scoffed.
"Whew!"
I saw Teng Qingshan, who was running at great speed, and the iron spear in his hand suddenly danced, like a spinning flywheel, and all the arrows that approached him were swept away. A wave of arrows passed, and Teng Qingshan did not have a trace of scars on his body at all, and his gaze was locked on the leader of the bandits.
The leader of the bandits was stunned.
So many arrows, but not a single person?
At this time, the robbers and bandits were frantically rushing to kill the hunters of the Teng clan. There were also quite a few bandits who took out arrows again.
"Die, little one. "The robbers and bandits who rushed to kill in a mess, some of them rushed towards Teng Qingshan, and their faces were full of hideousness. The other bandits and bandits rushed towards the rest of the Teng clan, and it was obvious that in their eyes, the thirty chéngréns were the most threatening.
Facing the machetes of the robbers and bandits, Teng Qingshan's speed did not decrease at all.
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"
The iron spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, but it flashed three times in a row, leaving a vague phantom.
"Ho~~" The three robbers and bandits who were close to Teng Qingshan widened their eyes, covered their throats, and made a sound of "ho, ho~~", desperately trying to inhale, but blood gushed from the big hole in their throats.
Three robbers and bandits fell with a bang.
"Poof!", "Poof!", "Poof!", "Poof!", "Poof!", ......
The shadow of the gun flickered, the red tassels flew, and a few drops of blood fluttered in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Teng Qingshan rushed across a distance of five zhang, but the robbers and bandits fell thirteen people, all of whom were pierced in the throat, and no one was exempt.
"What. The bandit leader's face changed greatly, and he looked away, this young man was the most terrifying of the group of hunters.
