Chapter 562 Robbery

After receiving the order, everyone stopped, drove all the carriages together, and then surrounded the carriages they were responsible for guarding, and lit a bonfire on the spot to keep warm and boil water for drinking.

Clusters of bonfires burned brightly, shining brightly with the stars in the sky and making people's faces red.

The water in the clay pot on the campfire began to boil. Someone picked it up and poured a bowl of it for Magistrate Luo.

Blowing the hot steam from the bowl, Magistrate Luo tentatively drank slowly along the edge of the bowl. The others did the same as him, drinking all the hot water down their stomachs.

After resting for about an hour, Magistrate Luo stood up and said, "Let's continue on our journey!"

Orders were passed down one after another, and everyone started moving again, driving the horses, pulling the carriages, and preparing to move forward.

But soon, everyone stopped moving and stared blankly at the black shadow that was slowly surrounding them like a ghost. After a moment, they hurriedly clenched the swords in their hands.

"Who are you?" County Magistrate Luo's face was full of vigilance.

…

Birds flapped their wings and flew high, breaking the tranquility of the night sky.

The morning light after the dark night is very dazzling. The sunlight illuminates the entire earth, gradually driving away the coldness brought by the night.

Magistrate Luo was still leading the team of horse-drawn carriages transporting grain and fodder slowly forward. The heavy carriages left deep marks on the ground.

The mark was illuminated by sunlight and soon bathed in starlight.

Late night arrived again, and County Magistrate Luo once again allowed the sleepy crowd to rest.

Because they had been traveling for two days and two nights, although they had some rest in the middle, the high-intensity physical labor was too much for even the strong guards.

Looking at the guards or runners sitting on the ground who were dozing off, Magistrate Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Rest where you are for two hours, take turns patrolling the surroundings, and report any unusual movements at any time!"

"Yes!" The people below acted quickly.

Just like the night before, all the vehicles were gathered together and everyone gathered around to make sure everything was safe.

The bonfire crackled and burned, turning the faces of everyone gathered around it red and making the shadows of the people around them longer.

Magistrate Luo was also very sleepy at this time. After patrolling around and making sure there was no unusual movement nearby, he leaned against a car and took a nap with peace of mind.

The others followed suit and did the same as County Magistrate Luo, and took a short nap.

The people on duty did not dare to slack off at this time. They just checked back and forth nearby to make sure everything was safe.

Not far away, behind a dirt slope, a burly man was leading a group of people hiding behind, and would occasionally pop his head out to check what was going on over there with County Magistrate Luo.

The skinny monkey ran over swiftly and lowered his voice, "Brother, it's still the same half of the people. Just like when we left the city, they are all very sleepy now. Now is the time to take action."

"Okay!" The burly man stood up, lifted his clothes and wiped the sword in his hand again and again, then spat on the ground and shouted, "Brothers, let's do our best today, and after we rob the military rations from the imperial court, we will sell them to Xijinyun and Tianyun countries, and then we will enjoy ourselves for a few years!"

"I have prepared all the food and wine you need, and all the women you need to sleep with. Just go ahead and do your work. Whoever chops off the most heads will be rewarded by me!"

The people around were all excited by the words of the burly man. They were all rubbing their hands, with greed in their eyes.

The burly man climbed up the slope under the cover of night. Seeing that the bonfire below had become much smaller, he thought that everyone must be very sleepy at this time, so he waved the knife in his hand and shouted, "Charge!"

The bandits received the order and rushed towards Magistrate Luo and others like beasts out of a cage.

County Magistrate Luo and others soon heard the noise and became alert.

"Protect the food!"

Magistrate Luo shouted loudly, and the people who were dozing off immediately stood up and grasped the swords at hand.

After arranging some people to drag the bandits, County Magistrate Luo hurriedly arranged for others to drive the horse-drawn carriages and leave first.

There were so many bandits in front of them that they didn't know if they could completely resist them, but at this moment, they would try to save as many vehicles as possible.

Want to leave?

It's not that easy! The burly man chuckled, and with a few people quickly stopped the carriages that wanted to leave, and then shouted, "Listen to me, all the people and food here must stay!"

With the orders and shouts from their leader, the bandits became more and more excited, and they swung their knives at the guards who were protecting the food and supplies.

The burly man decided to shoot the horse first and rushed towards County Magistrate Luo.

As long as we kill this official, the subordinates will be at a loss, and it will be easy to deal with them after they become a mess! The burly man thought so, and without hesitation, he swung the big knife in his hand towards County Magistrate Luo's face!

Magistrate Luo, who was so frightened that his face turned pale, curled the corners of his lips and revealed a sinister smile when he saw the big knife about to fall on his nose.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What? The burly man was stunned.

But while he was stunned, County Magistrate Luo had already stretched out his hand, blocked the big knife with his wrist, and then chopped the big knife in half with lightning speed.

Looking at the half-broken knife in his hand, the burly man's face was full of disbelief.

Isn't this County Magistrate Luo a scholar? Aren't all scholars weak and powerless?

Why could he chop off this hard sword? Is he still human? Seeing that the other party was so shocked that he doubted his life, the "County Magistrate Luo" smiled, took off his official hat, and even pulled off the disguise mask on his face.

"You're scared, right?" Shi Ding laughed wildly, flicking the half-broken knife in his hand, "You're scared, of course!"

Scare your grandma's legs!

The burly man's anger rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his hair almost stood up.

No matter whether you are the real Magistrate Luo or someone else in disguise, what I want today is food and supplies. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed, and anyone who stands in my way will be destroyed!

"Kill this ignorant guy for me!" the burly man shouted angrily.

But after his voice drifted far away, no one came forward according to his command. He even suddenly realized that the surroundings seemed to have suddenly become very quiet.

The burly man looked around hurriedly and was shocked to find that all his men had been completely controlled. They were kneeling on the ground like quails.

Dare not move even a bit.

Obviously, the deal went wrong...

But why? He had so many brothers and so few guards, how could he defeat them all?
