Commander Li kicked the boss several times viciously to vent his anger. When he turned around, he saw Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan huddled aside, trembling.
I don’t know if it was because of the cold or the fear.
For a moment, Zhuang Yan felt that Commander Li wanted to kill him.
This is indeed the case.
However, at this moment, Master Zhuang II arrived with his men.
He ran over and helped Zhuang Yan up.
"Second brother..." Zhuang Yan almost cried when he saw his second brother.
The second young master Zhuang untied him.
By this time, Commander Li's men had already killed all the remaining bandits.
They were all covered in blood and breathing heavily, obviously blood-thirsty. When they looked at the Zhuang family, their eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Commander, the bandits' silver is all here."
The confidant said to Commander Li.
Commander Li took a look at the silver on the ground. There was not much of it.
He didn't think much about it, just thinking that all the money had been spent over the years.
"Young Master..." The confidant also saw Li Mu's body.
Commander Li remained silent, and neither did Zhuang Er. Silence spread...
Commander Li suddenly looked at Zhuang Er and said, "Master Zhuang Er, how did you know the bandits were here?"
Zhuang Er repeated Chen Yan's analysis.
"I didn't tell you because we weren't sure. My eldest brother is still looking for someone around Qingfeng Mountain."
Zhuang Er's words had two purposes.
First, Commander Li obviously suspected that he was colluding with the bandits, and was afraid that even the attack on Qingfeng Mountain was a conspiracy.
After all, Pang Lin had just been defeated in the Fulai Inn not long ago, and the banker was involved at that time.
The dealer also participated in this attack on the mountain.
Second, Zhuang Er was also telling Commander Li, who had murderous intentions, that Zhuang Da knew they were coming, and if he killed them to silence them, the outside world would know.
Commander Li said nothing more and sent people to patrol the surrounding area to ensure that no one escaped.
After making sure that the leader was dead, Commander Li had the leader's head cut off, and the group prepared to go back.
The setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky red.
Not long after leaving the village, it was getting dark. Everyone lit torches and walked to the crevice leading into the mountain. Commander Li said to Zhuang Er, "Young Master Zhuang Er, go ahead. We'll cover your retreat."
Zhuang Er nodded and walked ahead with his men. He urged them, "Be smart."
The Zhuang family nodded.
Zhuang Yan had a bad feeling and whispered, "Brother, I think something's wrong with Commander Li."
Zhuang Er nodded.
Chen Yan said that Commander Li would definitely kill them.
Zhuang Er felt that they were not that bold, and they would not break off relations with the Zhuang family...
But now he wasn't sure.
If Commander Li killed them in this desolate wilderness, he could easily put the blame on the bandits. After all, Commander Li and his men had come secretly, and Young Master Zhuang outside only knew that Zhuang Er and his men had gone into the mountains to suppress the bandits, but he had no idea that Commander Li and his men had also come...
Therefore, what he just said could not actually scare Commander Li.
But why did Commander Li insist on killing them?
What the boss said just now is all old news, there is no secret...
etc…
wrong…
No, no...
Zhuang Er suddenly thought of something.
There is a secret...
Silver mines…
Zhuang Er had checked with the headmaster's father, Warden Wen, and hadn't heard of any silver mines. That meant...
In other words…
Shoji stopped walking.
That silver mine might be in the hands of Commander Li, so... is that why he wants to come out and kill the boss?
Those who knew the secret...
"Second brother." Zhuang Yan looked at the second young master Zhuang in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
The second young master of Zhuang said in a deep voice: "In a moment...if anything happens, run away."
Zhuang Yan's nerves, which had originally relaxed, tensed up again.
But he didn't dare to ask, so he walked in silence.
Commander Li's men followed behind him like ghosts and evil spirits.
When they reached the narrow path leading into the mountain, Commander Li's men suddenly attacked. Although the Zhuang family had been prepared, they were still caught off guard. They were no match for these battle-hardened soldiers, and soon some of them fell...
“Run… run…” The second young master Zhuang pulled Xiao Zhuang, and the two brothers ran for their lives.
Commander Li's face was gloomy: "Chase them, don't leave any of them alive."
"yes."
The Zhuang family's guards fell one by one, and the little time they gained was only enough for the Zhuang family brothers to run out of the mountain crevice, and then several more Zhuang family members ran out.
But where can they go in such a desolate place?
Zhuang Yan only felt the wind passing by his ears, and the sound of footsteps behind him gradually approached, accompanied by the sound of Zhuang's guards falling...
Moreover, the snowy road was difficult to walk on, and he had not rested well and was running in a hurry. He lost his balance and fell, and the second young master Zhuang was also dragged down by him.
It’s over, it’s over…
Zhuang Yan thought he was dead this time, but suddenly he heard Commander Li's men exclaiming from behind.
"There's an ambush."
Commander Li's men did not expect an ambush. They were still looking for the ambushers when rocks rolled down the mountain, one after another. They could not see clearly in the darkness. Some people were hit and screamed. Everyone subconsciously ran towards the exit.
The first person who ran out was shot by an arrow and fell down. The second person ran around him a few steps and was tripped by a rope and hacked to death from behind...
Then three or four more people died, and Commander Li and his men at the back also came to their senses. Unfortunately, there was no way to retreat. Rocks kept rolling down the mountain, and if they walked slowly, they would be crushed to death...
"Charge out..." Commander Li gave the order.
He was bringing with him the elite troops of the vanguard camp, a dozen or so in total. They were certainly formidable in face-to-face combat, but several had been killed in the daytime clash with the leader's men. Some had just been stoned to death, others shot by arrows, and still others hacked to death by swords. Now, he only had five or six men left, and several more were injured.
He didn't even know who his opponent was; he subconsciously assumed it was the dealer...
