Chapter 1716 is a good opportunity!
When Ying Shao heard the voice, he was stunned.
Is this, the sound of a cymbal?!
The bandits also heard it and just as they were about to sit down, they immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
"This sound seems to come from over there."
"Where is Hu Laoer?"
"That's right."
"What's going on in the middle of the night? Could it be that Shazhouwei—"
"Hurry over and take a look!"
As he was speaking, a loud noise was heard in front of him. It was obviously the lair of the sand bandits in the Hot Moon Crescent. The bandits inside heard the sound of the gong coming from the night sky and were all startled.
"Wait a moment."
One of the older bandits remained calm and said, "That's Hu Laoer's business. We're ordered to watch over here, so don't move."
"Here? This is a dead end. What's there to see here?"
“…”
These words made the older bandit seem to pause.
But immediately, he laughed and said, "We are staying here because there is nothing to see here."
"You mean—"
"Even if someone dies over there, it has nothing to do with us. Let's just drink and have fun."
"That's true. Hahahaha."
As they spoke, several people actually sat down again.
They originally had a few torches and some firewood. They piled the firewood on the ground and threw a torch on it. The firewood soaked in tung oil immediately caught fire.
The fire flickered.
A few people took something and put it on the muddy ground, then took out the wine bags and meat they had with them.
They started drinking and eating meat and had fun.
Ying Shao's eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
He originally thought that after passing the boulder, there would be an ambush, but there wasn't, only these few bandits appeared.
However, this did not relax his nervous mood.
Instead, my whole body became even more tense.
No one relaxes before killing someone.
Judging from the sounds of several people talking and their silhouettes cast on the mountain wall when they moved, Ying Shao carefully identified that there were no more than five bandits guarding this place.
For him, getting rid of these people was easy.
but--
He frowned and lay on the ground again, listening to the muffled sounds coming from the distance. It was obvious that the bandits were startled by the sound of the gong and began to take large-scale actions.
However, the footsteps were not coming this way.
Instead, they were getting farther and farther away. Obviously, they were all heading towards another road, which was the road to the east that the emperor had planned before.
Over there, I don’t know what happened over there.
A few sand bandits were still chatting and talking about some gossip, and they had no defense against this place at all.
It's a good opportunity!
…
Ying Shao gripped the boot knife tightly in his hand. His palms were already covered in cold sweat and even felt a little cold.
Just as he was about to rush out, suddenly, another gong sound was heard in the air.
But the sound of the gong this time seemed a little different from the previous ones.
He held his breath, listened carefully, and his face suddenly changed.
The few bandits were completely unaware that they were already at the gates of hell. They just gulped down their wine and said, "Hey, what's that sound? Are those officials singing? Hahahaha?"
"Singing, it looks more like crying to me."
"Those useless sissies only deserve to hear this."
They laughed wildly.
Ying Shao was hiding in the damp and dark underground. His hand holding the hilt of the knife was so tense that his knuckles were almost cracking.
