There were constant cries of curses and pain in the valley.

"You bastard."

"Why did you hit me without telling me?"

"There is no shame in stealing."

All kinds of curses continued, because they were holding swords and guns, which were useless against the rain of arrows coming from a distance. They could only hide behind rocks and trees, and their previous momentum disappeared instantly.

"You young man who has never seen the world, who would remind me to beat you up before a fight?"

Zhu Zan kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, and he also kept talking.

He scolded the brigands and also the guards around him.

"Although you seem to walk like young wives who have never been out of the house, you still have some real skills."

"You are good at using the bow and arrow. Let's see how good you are at close-quarters knife and gun combat later."

"I'm talking to you guys, what are you running around for? You are not allowed to mess up your formation."

The senior official was standing in front of the carriage, holding a knife in his hand. Although he didn't have the strength to kill, he still had enough strength to cut the noose to prevent the carriage from overturning if the horse was startled.

He held the knife in his hand, listening to the noise of fighting and cursing, and the clothes on his back fell apart.

"My Ninth Master, we are risking our lives here, can you please be more serious?" he murmured.

At this time, the bandits on the mountain had already taken shelter, holding knives and guns and shouting and cursing.

The guards fired their bows and crossbows continuously, maintaining formation and escorting the carriage forward on the mountain road.

"Don't let them get away."

"Kill him."

The thieves who lost their leader seemed to quickly elect a new leader. Following this order, the thieves hiding in the mountains and forests rushed down with knives and guns raised.

They moved quickly and used rocks and trees very flexibly to avoid the arrows shot by the guards.

Because the guards were shooting arrows while moving, their speed and accuracy were greatly reduced.

“Stop moving forward!”

Zhu Zan shouted loudly.

The moving team stopped immediately.

"The first two rows keep the bows and arrows, and the back row switch to spears." Zhu Zan said loudly.

The guards moved one by one as his voice sounded.

"This Ninth Master is a soldier by profession." The senior manager said to himself, "and he's a good trainer." He finally figured it out. Although the time was still short and it wasn't particularly clear, these guards had been trained by him imperceptibly along the way.

Therefore, we can immediately form a battle formation at this time and maintain stability.

But why didn't he say it clearly? If he had told them to practice military formations, everyone would have cooperated better, and the training would have been better than it is now.

Doesn't he want to be discovered?

The senior manager was holding his horse and holding his knife, thinking wildly. Over there, the bandits who had already rushed down the mountain were shot down by the rain of arrows.

But there were too many thieves. One after another, they rushed into the fire like moths, and the distance between the two sides kept shortening.

"The second row retreat and change to broadswords." Zhu Zan said.

The guards sprang into action.

Whether out of nervousness or concentration, they were silent, so silent that the screams of the thieves over there were even more piercing.

“How much did they give you?”

In the silence, Zhu Zan suddenly spoke.

These words made the guards a little stunned, and the senior manager couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Now is the time to fight to the death." Zhu Zan continued. He put down the crossbow in his hand, "I don't know how much your lives were hired or bought. Now think about whether it is worth losing your lives for this money."

What are you talking about?

The senior executive frowned.

If you really lose your life, no amount of money is worth it.

Do you want everyone to surrender and run away now?

"What I want to say is that no matter how much money others spend, they can't buy your lives." Zhu Zan continued. "Your lives are always in your hands. Only you can decide whether to live or die. You are not fighting for money. You are not fighting for any trust. You are only fighting for yourselves."

"You can't escape now. These people are not for wealth, but for life. Don't let anyone take your life." As he spoke, he pulled out the knife from his waist and raised it in front of him with both hands.

"Then come on, fight for yourself."

"The archers retreat, the spears move forward, and the swords follow."

"Kill."

Following the shout, his men stepped forward and joined the second row of swordsmen guards.

"Kill!"

he shouted again.

"Kill!"

The guards shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The roar was so loud that it reverberated through the valley and drowned out the shouting bandits.

Lei Zhonglian clenched the knife in his hand tightly, and felt his hair stand on end as if on fire.

"Kill!" he also shouted, his voice trembling with excitement and nervousness.

The sound of killing in the valley was deafening, like thunder.

The tremor was felt behind the distant cliff, and several people stood out from behind a rock.

"It's quite a commotion." A man frowned and said, "Is it very difficult?"

"How could that be? Those who went to ambush were all picked out. Although they are not elite, they can easily deal with the guards of the Fang family who have not seen much blood or chopped many people." The other one said with some ease.

"Yes, we have seen it along the way. These guards are indeed good at walking and are very sharp. But this is precisely because they are trying to save their lives. They can only do this to save their lives. They are nothing like us who are fighting to the death. When we get blinded by killing, they will burst into tears." Another man said.

"We have to be prepared for the worst." The man said solemnly, "We have to be absolutely sure now."

Speaking of this, he frowned again.

"If it weren't for the purpose of preventing the news from leaking out, we should have assigned more people," he said.

"This is really strange. Why do those Jinyiwei people appear wherever we go? What are they doing? Are they really targeting us?" The other two men also frowned and said.

"In short, be careful and make a quick decision." The man said, "Try not to use those people again."

This made the other two men laugh.

"Brother, you have ruined your own prestige. How many of us are there and how many of them are there? Why do we need those people to help us? Don't worry, the young master of the Fang family will not escape death today just like his father." said one of them.

"No, he's different from his father." Another man shook his head.

Everyone looked at him.

"His father died in his own bed with a breath left in his body, but he is not so lucky." The man said with a devilish smile, "It's a pity that his body will be left in the wilderness."

As he spoke he began to laugh, and the other two followed suit. Before the laughter died down someone came running over.

"Sixth Master, the situation is not good." The man said hurriedly.

These words made the three of them stop laughing.

"What's wrong?" they asked in unison.

"Brothers, it's a bit hard to chew it." The visitor said anxiously, "It's very hard."

What?

The three of them looked at each other.

"Let's go." One of them waved his hand and said.

Several people walked quickly towards this valley.

At the same time, someone on the other side also raised his hand and waved.

These are also people hiding behind the rocks, their bodies concealed by the lush vegetation.

"Why don't you take action now? It looks like they can't hold on any longer." Someone whispered.

"No, they can still hold on." The person who came earlier whispered, looking through the lush vegetation at the two sides fighting fiercely in the valley.

Although it was a bit far away, I could still see waves of thieves rushing up, seemingly endlessly.

Can this really be sustained?
