Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Walking into a Trap There are three major...

This big man with a full beard is Heisha, the most famous bandit leader of the Black Wind Stronghold.

At this moment, Heisha was looking at the gray-robed man who got out of another carriage with confusion.

"What trick could there be?" he asked.

It was a hot summer day, but the man in gray robe still wore a veil, covering his entire face. Heisha felt hot just by looking at him.

Not long ago, it was this person who came to their Black Wind Village and brought the news that a fat sheep would pass by soon.

At first, when they heard that the caravan they were going to rob was not an ordinary merchant caravan, but a grain caravan escorted by soldiers, they thought of retreating. However, the temptation of 30,000 dan of grain was too great, and they were willing to take the risk. After completing this mission, they could return to Black Wind Village, live a life of ease and comfort behind closed doors.

With this beautiful wish in mind, Heisha brought all his brothers and followed the instructions of the gray-robed man, disguising themselves as an ordinary caravan and followed him here.

"They have been carefully staying near the town these past few days. Why did they choose to stay in this place where there is no village or shop nearby?" The gray-robed man frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Why else? The distance from the checkpoint to the next town is too far." Heisha answered disdainfully without even thinking.

"No, there must be other reasons..."

Heisha interrupted him impatiently, "If today isn't possible, then when can we do it?"

"In two days they will enter the territory of Yanzhou. According to the rules of the underworld, that is not a place I can interfere with!" Heisha raised his voice and argued with the gray-robed man.

They in the Black Wind Village have always acted efficiently and decisively. When they encounter suitable prey, they will cut the Gordian knot and capture it in one fell swoop, because they know very well that the first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer!

He had originally planned to take action on the first day, but this man wouldn't let him. He kept waiting and waiting, insisting on waiting for some damn weather to cool down!

After spending some time together, Heisha had long been unhappy with him, so naturally he wouldn't treat him well now.

The gray-robed man was speechless.

They are not at an advantage in numbers, so only by disguising themselves as a caravan can they lower the enemy's guard. The enemy will certainly not expect that the enemy will be walking in front of them, giving them a chance to catch them off guard.

But along the way, the team led by Yan Zhuo had been very cautious and did not give them any chance to take advantage of, so he felt that something was wrong with what happened today.

"Isn't this the cool chicken you've been waiting for! It's so hard to get this opportunity today, if you miss it, you'll never get it again!" Heisha continued.

"It's a godsend..." The gray-robed man held his forehead, feeling a slight pain in his head. He wondered if his decision to seek cooperation with Black Wind Village was wrong from the beginning?

But what Heisha said was not entirely unreasonable. He hesitated for a moment, and finally relented: "Okay then."

Seeing the grey-robed man agreed, Heisha grinned broadly, waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, get ready. We're going to cook this fat sheep tonight!"

The originally bored bandits were suddenly cheered up when they heard these words. Some cheered, some sharpened their knives, and everyone started to get busy.

Night soon fell on this land. When everything was quiet, the people of Black Wind Village took off their caravan disguises, changed into black clothes, and hid in the night.

There were many mosquitoes in the forest, and even though they were thick-skinned and tough, they were still annoyed. Heisha once again waved away the mosquitoes that were hovering in front of him, and looked at the gray-robed man beside him in the moonlight, and asked in a low voice:

"How long do we have to wait?"

The gray-robed man replied, "Let's wait until Chou time." Chou time is when everyone is sleeping the most soundly, and this is the perfect time to take action by surprise.

Heisha was shocked. It was still at least an hour away from the hour of Chou. That meant he would have to feed mosquitoes here for another hour?

He could bear it, but his brothers couldn't. Looking back, they found that everyone had been waiting impatiently, but they dared not say anything because of his face.

Heisha thought for a moment, then ordered, "Heisha, go and check it out."

"Okay."

A short man with a shifty look stood up, pulled up his face scarf, and quickly dived into the bushes nearby.

"etc!"

Before the gray-robed man could call out to him, the thin figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Not calling him back, the gray-robed man was slightly angry: "If he leaves like this, what if he alerts the enemy?"

"Heisha's footwork is the best among us. He can come and go freely in this forest. Don't worry, he will be fine." Heisha said confidently.

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the bushes. A thin figure jumped out from the bushes, without taking off the scarf, and said directly:

"Boss, I just took a look around. Except for the five people on night watch, everyone else is fast asleep. I could clearly hear their snoring!"

Heisha was delighted after hearing this: "Then what are we waiting for? While their guard is down, we can just charge in and be done with it!"

He raised his arm and called out, "Brothers, follow me! After we finish this job, we can live a life of luxury for the rest of our lives!"

After saying that, he jumped on his horse and rushed out first.

The bandits were so excited after hearing these words that they clenched their swords and rushed out without saying a word.

"You guys! Ahem..."

The gray-robed man was about to say they were being irrational when he opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of dust kicked up by the horse's hooves. When he finished coughing heartbreakingly, there was no one in sight!

Under the beautiful moonlight, he was the only one left, stamping his feet in anger.

The evening breeze blew through the mountains and forests. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees became ghostly. The rustling sound was originally the only sound in this land, but a burst of fierce horse hooves broke the silence.

Heisha took the lead and rode his horse in the front.

They were already very close to the fat sheep. Heisha could even see the carts of food illuminated by the torches in the camp not far away.

Soon, these will all be theirs!

Victory was just around the corner. Heisha swallowed his saliva, swung the big knife in his hand, and clamped the horse's belly hard. The horse felt pain and ran faster.

Faintly, something flashed on the ground ahead.

A black cloud passed by, and the moonlight dimmed a lot. Heisha squinted his eyes in confusion. As the distance got closer, he finally saw clearly.

I saw a hemp rope as thick as a baby's arm stretched straight on the flat ground not far away!

The moment he saw clearly, Heisha's pupils contracted violently.

"There's an ambush!" He roared loudly and pulled the reins high in his hands, trying to stop the horse from running forward.

But it was too late. He discovered it too late, and the distance was not enough for the horse to stop at full speed!

The next moment, the horse's hooves hit it hard, and the big reddish-brown horse neighed and fell heavily to the ground.

Due to inertia, Heisha flew off the horse and fell to the ground.

Before he could get up, dozens of soldiers in military uniforms jumped out from the bushes nearby, tied him up, and pointed more than a dozen shiny knives at him.

The moonlight shone on the weapon, reflecting a chilling cold light.

Through the gaps between the swords and the crowd, Heisha saw his men tripping under the straw ropes one after another. Like him, sharp blades were placed on their necks before they could get up. None of them escaped.

He originally wanted to struggle, but he closed his eyes resignedly and stopped resisting.

The identities of hunter and prey quietly changed at this moment.

What went wrong? Heisha didn't understand. Everything was clearly under their control before, so how come they were the ones who were caught in the net?

This question continued to bother him until the bandits were tied up and brought into the camp.

The camp was brightly lit by the fire. In the open space in the center stood a thin figure. He was wearing black clothes and a turban. His clothes were no different from those of the bandits, all wearing night clothes.

The only difference is that he wasn't tied up...

"Black Rat?" Heisha shouted out his code name in shock and anger. "You betrayed us?!"

Otherwise, how could he stand here intact?

"You're really wronging him."

The soldiers guarding them separated and Yan Zhuo and Cui Cen walked out of the crowd.

Cui Cen was holding an unconscious figure in his hand and threw him towards Heishan.

Heisha looked carefully and wondered who else could it be but the black rat.

Not only him, but everyone else was dumbfounded. How could there be two black rats?

Although the face in front of him had been beaten black and blue, and even his own mother couldn't recognize him, Heisha still recognized him from the black mole on the tip of his nose. This pig-headed man was actually Black Rat!

"Your loss this time is not unfair." Cui Cen laughed somewhat wantonly.

"Xiao Yu." He shouted to the black rat dressed in black.

The black rat in the center of the camp moved at the sound, raised his hand and took off the veil on his face, revealing a strange face, and smiled shyly at them.

The devil is always one step ahead of the righteous. Ever since Cui Cen reported something was wrong, Yan Zhuo has tightened the security around them. They have been keeping an eye on this spy named Black Rat for a long time. They allowed him to bring back intelligence several times before just to lower the other party's guard.

When the day came when they were really preparing to take action, Black Rat was discovered and detained as soon as he approached. After a little suffering, he confessed all the plans of Black Wind Village.

Yan Zhuo's team is also full of talented people. There is a man named Xiao Yu who has a body shape similar to that of a black rat. Cui Cen worked with him for a while and found that he has a talent for language imitation, so he began to plan.

Xiao Yu put on a nightgown and disguised himself as a black rat to pass them false information, creating the illusion that they were all asleep and their guards were lax, so as to lower their guard.

Cui Cen even figured out their psychology. After waiting for so many days, they must be very impatient and would definitely not miss this excellent opportunity. The probability of taking action at night when it is dark and windy is the greatest.

As long as they set up traps and ambushes in advance on the road that Black Wind Village must pass through, they can capture them!

As the key to success, Xiao Yu was not at all vague. In just a few moments, he was able to imitate the tone of Black Rat's voice. When he changed into a black nightgown, pulled up the scarf, and called out "Boss", if Black Rat hadn't been tied up here, no one would have been able to tell him apart.

In order for this matter to succeed, the right time, place and people are all essential, so Cui Cen said that their loss was not a loss.

Heisha was filled with sorrow. If the Black Rat who had gone out to investigate had not come back and said that the other party had let down their guard, he would not have rushed out so rashly.

They were deceived so badly!

Yan Zhuo had learned about these bandits before setting out, and naturally he also knew about the Black Wind Village.

This area has three major dangers: tigers, wolves, and Black Wind Stronghold. Although wild birds are ferocious and encountering them is dangerous, there is still a chance of survival. However, encountering Black Wind Stronghold... that would make people give up all hope of survival.

"Five years ago, a group of scholars going to Beijing for the imperial examination were robbed when they passed by here. Was it you who did it?"

"Three years ago, a caravan heading east to Yanzhou suddenly vanished without a trace while passing through here, along with its cargo. Was it you who did this?"

"A year ago, a village fifty miles from here was flooded with blood overnight, but there were no young women among the bodies. They were said to have been abducted. Was this done by you?"

With every question asked, Yan Zhuo's eyes grew colder.

People's evil thoughts will expand. At the beginning, they were just looking for money. The young scholars were powerless and they could easily rob them of all their money. The only bad thing was that the scholars they let go united and reported them to the authorities. They were wanted for a long time and they had to hide from place to place for that year.

Later, they found that killing people was easier because the dead could not speak. They were originally a group of desperate people gathered together. When it came to human life, each of them had more or less stained their hands. Killing one person was killing, killing two was killing.

Later, feeling lonely in the depths of the mountains, they decided to kidnap women from the village. To satisfy their lust, they even slaughtered the entire village. As for the women they kidnapped, some committed suicide due to the humiliation, while others were tortured to death.

Heisha lowered his head and neither admitted nor refuted.

Yan Zhuo didn't expect him to admit it. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, these were not inquiries, but accusations!

"You beasts!"

Cui Cen couldn't help but kick Heisha in the heart. He was so angry that he didn't hold back the kick at all.

The burly man, who was about eight feet tall, was kicked three meters away.
