Volume 19 Robbers
"According to our understanding of the dart bureau, this gang of robbers has not appeared for a long time, it is estimated that it has been less than five months since they came here, and the number of robbers is about more than eighty, but after this period of robbery and fighting, especially with us this time of the vicious fight, there are a lot of casualties, and now it is estimated that there are less than forty people left, the leader of the robbers is five people, the leader is the axe-wielding man who is fighting with the quartz brother today, and the second master is the little white face who fought with me, and it is also the military advisor of this gang of robbers, it is said that the five of them were originally also children of the family, and later lost in the power struggle of the family, wandering here, they gathered some people, started this business, but the five leaders of them have been killed and injured by us, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly damaged, in fact, even if they want to be annihilated, as long as they are well arranged, it is not impossible. Li Shiying told everyone what they knew about the dart game, so that they could know themselves and the other and arrange a more appropriate strategy.
Although everyone is passionate, they still have to have a detailed plan and deal with some details, so that they can hit the robbers the premise of avoiding casualties as much as possible, and it is best to let them lose the ability to attack the caravan again, Ming Xuan put forward this bold idea and then left it alone, the specific details were discussed and completed by others, after all, the experience of other people in this aspect is far from being comparable to Ming Xuan.
After nearly an hour of repeated discussions, everyone finally arranged the details of the plan, first of all, to determine the personnel of the sneak attack, not too much, Li Anding, Li Shiying, Liu Dali plus four other accompanying masters, originally Mingxuan was not counted among the so-called masters by them, but because the strategy was out of him, coupled with Liu Dali's repeated insistence, so everyone finally decided to take him with him.
Since everyone's skills were not weak, and they were running on horseback, they soon came to the vicinity of the robber's lair at night, and everyone dismounted from a distance, not daring to get too close, so as not to cause the robber sentry to find out, and after the horses were placed, everyone quietly leaned towards the robber's lair.
"Do you see the rocky mountain in front of you, and where there is a light halfway up the mountain, there is the robber's lair. Li Anding pointed to the stone mountain not far ahead.
"How did the robbers set up their lair halfway up the mountain, it's a stone mountain, how did they do it?" asked one of the accompanying warriors, expressing everyone's doubts.
"It was originally a mine cave, it was abandoned after mining, and then it was occupied by this gang of robbers, and after a little tidying up, it became their lair, because the mine is located in the middle of the mountainside, access can only rely on a path between the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is why our dart bureau has found this place for so long, but it has not been started. Li Anding explained in detail for everyone.
"Okay, now is a good time to destroy the robbers' den! It's already late at night, it's time for everyone to sleep, I believe they are not so heavily guarded, let's get rid of the sentries first!" Li Shiying instructed everyone to act according to the plan.
The robbers were originally a group of rabble, and they couldn't be compared with the regular children of the family, and the discipline and execution were very poor, even if they put a sentry, they were lazy and couldn't beat their spirits, and some even simply dozed off there, this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, except for them, no one else had come, so I didn't think that anyone would come to rob the village, not to mention that it was already late at night.
Under the cover of night, a group of masters easily solved the sentry guards under the mountain quietly, and changed the robbers' clothes, and then in the dim night, they couldn't see their faces clearly, it was really difficult to distinguish the authenticity, and gave them the best cover.
The group walked cautiously along the path to the entrance of the cave, the entrance of the cave slightly emitted lights, but there was no sound, it seemed that most of the people were asleep, and it was time to act! Li Anding and Li Shiying rushed directly forward with an arrow step, and quickly solved the two sentries at the entrance of the cave, and everyone broke into the hole.
Inside is a relatively spacious hole, but the robbers made a hall, set up a lot of tables and chairs and incense tables, and hang a plaque of "Juyi Hall", it seems that I really want to do this business all the time, because this cave was originally a mine cave, so there are many holes in the hall, but I don't know where it leads.
"Or according to the original plan, let's act separately, Brother Li, you take a group of two, I take a group of two, Brother Liu and Mingxuan are in a group, try not to make too much noise after entering, so as not to alarm the robbers, if it is blocked inside, it will be troublesome, and don't talk to the robbers about the rules of the rivers and lakes, when you see people, you will do it secretly, and you can grab valuable things when you see them, but you must rush back to the place of Anza before dawn, and you can't miss a big event." Although these are all planned, Li Shiying still can't help but tell again and again.
After the arrangement was made, everyone found a hole to drill in, and soon disappeared in the hall, Mingxuan and Liu Dali also found a hole to drill into, because the hole was originally used as a passage and for transporting ore, so it still seems relatively spacious, and the wall of the cave is lit with torches at a distance, so that the whole passage does not seem so dim, Mingxuan and Liu Dali walked carefully inside, the passage extends in all directions, the two turned left and right and walked for a long time, except for the passage or the passage, there is nothing else.
"Little Brother Gu, let's not get lost. After walking for a long time, there was no torch lighting around for a long time, and the two had to take the torches from the previous cave wall, and it was still pitch black everywhere, and Liu Dali felt that he was going around in circles.
"Don't worry, I've marked the places we've walked through, so let's look for them again. "It's the first time for Ming Xuan to go to this kind of place, and when he walks around, he has long lost his sense of direction.
At the same time that Mingxuan and the others were lost, Li Shiying's group had already found a large cave, which was full of robbers sleeping all over the place, and they were all drunk, and it seemed that they were all drunk.
"Let's be careful, one person will kill them with a knife!, don't make any noise!" Li Shiying immediately decided, these are easy for the warriors, and after a while, more than a dozen robbers in the hole lost their lives in silence! After doing this feat, a group of people sneaked away quietly.
Li Anding's group was not so lucky, ran to the robbers' cellar, in line with pride, but found a cellar full of wine, it was really a little speechless, but most of the people who learn martial arts are good wine, and Li Anding is even more of a drunkard, not to mention that for this dart, he has not touched a drop of wine for a few days, and now it is simply a wine worm surging up, and the Adam's apple can't help but surge up and down.
"You can't miss the big thing, look for it again!" Li Anding looked at the wine jar reluctantly, seemed to have made a lot of determination, turned around and disappeared into the passage.
"There's no way out again, why are we carrying it like this. Liu Dali couldn't help but complain, shuttling in this passage for nearly an hour, this is the fourth time they have hit a wall, it is really frustrating.
"It seems that the hole we entered earlier was the original mining passage, and now it is estimated that it has been abandoned. Ming Xuan could only explain like this.
"Then what to do, after walking for so long, let alone a robber, not even an ant has been seen, let alone the robber's treasure. "Liu Dali's rush is the robber's treasure.
"Treasure, Brother Liu, where do you think the robbers will put the treasure?" was said by Liu Dali, Ming Xuan seemed to think of something.
"Of course, it's a place that is not easy for others to find. Liu Dali didn't think twice.
"Then do you think this place is hidden enough?" Ming Xuan said in a tricky manner.
"Uh, if you know that this is a deserted mining area, naturally few people will come, Brother Gu, do you mean ......" Liu Dali was obviously also touched.
"Yes, this should be the former mining area, yes, people who know about it shouldn't come again, and this place has been abandoned for so long, and it was occupied by robbers in the past three months, although they may have groped it through, and they will definitely not come after understanding it, but why have we walked for so long but it is clean, and there is not even a cobweb?" Spiders have always liked to build webs in cold, damp and inaccessible places, this Mingxuan has known it in the forest, but there is no one here.
"Little Brother Gu, what do you mean?" Liu Dali was a little confused.
"A place that should be inaccessible to people, but it's clean, why?" Ming Xuan further reminded.
"Little brother, you mean, the robbers have hidden the treasure here! Because everyone will not come to hide enough, but it is cleaned up, and it is obvious that people often come, so they can only come to hide the treasure!" Li Dali suddenly brightened.
"Although it is not far away, let's look for it again, maybe we will get something. Mingxuan didn't dare to pack tickets.
After such an analysis, the two of them fought hard again to find it, this time no longer as blind as before, but carefully paid attention to some clues in the passage, and after some searching, the two actually found a silver ingot on the ground.
"Little brother! You are certainly not wrong! The people who came to be miners were all from poor families, how could they have dropped silver ingots, they must have accidentally dropped them when the robbers were hiding treasures!" Liu Dali was excited.
"Then let's continue to look for clues!" Ming Xuan also felt that the idea in his heart had been confirmed, and he was very happy.
The two of them searched more vigorously, and after a few more encounters, the two came to a spacious cave, and with the light of the torches dispelling the darkness around them, what appeared in front of them was what they had always dreamed of!
Chests were piled up haphazardly in one corner of the cave, and several chests rolled to the side from the top because they were stacked unsteadily, and the gold, silver and jewels inside were scattered all over the ground, emitting a dazzling yellow glow under the light of the torches!
"Wow!" the two of them exclaimed and pounced, holding the treasure scattered on the ground in their hands, the golden gold, the silver and shiny jewels, so that the two of them could hardly believe their eyes, but the feeling in their hands was so real!
"I can't believe it! I can't believe it! It's the first time I've seen so much money when I'm so old! Brother Gu, you hit me, hit me! See if I'm dreaming!" Liu Dali couldn't believe it.
"Brother Liu, I'm sure it's true! Let's open the other boxes and take a look!" Although Ming Xuan was excited, he was quite rational.
The two of them opened all the boxes one by one, and the gold, silver, pearls, and agate were suddenly spread all over the ground, shining, and the two of them were directly stunned!
"Wow, why are there so many, I have accumulated so much wealth in just three months, damn! I want to be a robber!" Liu Dali couldn't help but burst into foul language.
"Well, what is this?" At this time, a long, flat box in the far corner caught Ming Xuan's attention.
