Chapter 232 Ning Bao Wants to Double-cross
Seeing Lingling look down on her, Ningbao felt a little unconvinced.
"Then why do you think they go into the woods for no reason? I think it's probably to poop."
I remember that when I was on the road before, the aunties and grandmothers in the village loved to poop in the woods.
Before Lingling could speak, Zhou Rongzhang, who had grown tired of being inside the Soul-Nourishing Talisman, floated back, having made an unusual trip out today.
"Ningbao, there are bandits in the woods."
bandit?
"Grandpa Zhou, are there bandits in the woods? How many of them are there, and do they have any money?"
Zhou Rongzhang raised an eyebrow.
"Ningbao, you're not planning to double-cross me, are you?"
"A double-cross?" Ning Bao nodded seriously.
"Yes, I'm going to double-cross them."
After all, they had broken into bandit dens before, and Ning Bao had taken quite a few things from them. So now she gets excited whenever she encounters bandits, because there's money in their dens.
Zhou Rongzhang looked at the excited Ning Bao with some worry.
"Ningbao, in my experience, these bandits are not simple. They look rather vicious. We must be careful when dealing with them later."
Ning Bao never takes bad guys lightly. His senior brother said that bad guys are bad because they have bad traits, and every bad guy basically has his strengths.
You must take this kind of person seriously.
Knowing there were bandits in the woods, Ning Bao didn't dare to delay for a moment. She jumped onto Lingling's back and walked towards the village chief.
"Village chief, there are bandits in the woods. They've already laid an ambush and are waiting to catch us."
"thump!"
Upon hearing Ning Bao's words, the village chief, who was sitting on the cart shaft, slid off with a thud. Knowing that there were bandits in the woods, the village chief did not dare to make any big movements.
He endured the pain and nonchalantly climbed onto the carriage shaft, whispering to Ning Bao,
"How far away are the Ningbao bandits? How many of them are there?"
Ning Bao frowned and looked ahead.
"Village chief, the bandits are crouching two hundred meters ahead. There are one hundred and eight of them in total."
Two hundred meters?
The village chief couldn't help but look in the direction Ning Bao had mentioned.
However, just as he was about to turn his head, he forced himself to turn back. Two hundred meters away, which means the bandits could see them right now.
The village chief dared not make a sound. He suppressed his inner tension and walked to Gu Xiang's side, whispering a few words to him.
Gu Xiang's expression turned serious after hearing the village chief's words. His first thought was whether these so-called "bandits" were assassins sent from the capital.
After all, they had encountered this kind of thing many times before.
Upon hearing that there were assassins, the guards dressed as villagers immediately surrounded Gu Yunrou and her husband.
The group of bandits were very excited to see the people entering the woods.
"Brother, there are quite a few people here this time, it looks like there are several hundred. If we arrest them all, we can improve our meals."
The bandit leader, addressed as "Big Brother," looked at the people of Shanglin Village.
"Second brother, there are too many people on the other side. This deal is going to be a bit troublesome today."
"Brother, these people look like ordinary villagers, they're easy to deal with. We're seasoned veterans, dealing with a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled women is no big deal."
The bandit leader glanced at his eager bandits.
"Everyone be careful today. I don't know why, but my eyelids keep twitching. I have a feeling that something is going to happen."
The bandit leader was a cautious man. He wanted to withdraw his men, but everyone was too excited. Before he could finish speaking, the bandits ran towards the people of Shanglin Village.
Because the bandits arrived so quickly, Shanglin Village and Gu Xiang's side didn't have time to prepare properly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ning Bao jumped onto Lingling's back, took out an iron rod, and charged towards the bandits.
"Ning Bao!"
"team leader!"
Seeing Ning Bao charge into the bandits, everyone and the squad members were very worried. The squad members, seeing their captain go to war, immediately picked up their weapons and rushed forward.
They had only taken two steps when…
"go back!"
Ning Bao coldly shouted him back.
Although Ningbao is young, she knows this is no joke. If it's just a little bit of fun, she wouldn't mind playing along with her friends.
Facing ruthless bandits could be fatal...
Along with Ning Bao, Shen Muyang's guards also rushed out. When Shen Muyang saw Ning Bao rushing towards the bandits, he quickly ordered his guards to follow.
Shen Muyang originally intended for the guards to protect Ningbao, but the little girl weaved through the bandits, swinging her iron rod with a buzzing sound, and wherever the iron rod struck, the bandits' screams echoed.
The two guards who came to protect Ning Bao were stunned by Ning Bao's actions and did not notice that a bandit with a large knife was slashing at him from behind.
In the blink of an eye, just as the bandit's knife was inches from the guard's back, Ning Bao turned around and swung his iron rod at the bandit's knife-wielding hand...
With a swift movement, the stick fell...
Snap! The bandit's wrist snapped off with a sharp sound.
Ning Bao picked up the bandit's dropped broadsword and threw it at Mu Chunping, who had just arrived.
"Dad, here's a weapon for you to use."
After throwing the knife, Ning Bao turned to look at the guard.
"Two guards, are you here to watch the show or to get yourselves killed? You should go back. You're in the way and are hindering Ning Bao from swinging his stick."
Guard: "…………"
Upon hearing Ning Bao's words, the two guards' cold faces flushed slightly. It was indeed their fault for being distracted just now, and this mistake was more than just a simple error for them.
They were not ordinary guards, but rather those who had undergone rigorous and professional training. The two guards had no time to feel guilty. Seeing the bandits surrounding them again, they raised their swords and struck with unerring accuracy.
The village chief and Gu Xiang gathered everyone together, and they looked intently at the battlefield not far ahead.
Gu Xiang watched as the villagers fought against the bandits. Although their movements were simple, crude, and clumsy, not a single one of them backed down. He then looked at Ning Bao, a small girl, who was fighting nimbly against bandits who were more than twice her height.
His moves were swift and decisive, no less so than those of professional experts.
He turned to look at the villagers behind him. Although they were very nervous, not one of them shouted or screamed. He only saw the worry in each of their eyes for their loved ones who were fighting against the bandits.
Gu Xiang couldn't help but admire the people of Shanglin Village in his heart. Even the families of wealthy and powerful families rarely remained so calm in the face of trouble.
Ning Bao, caught in the middle of the battle, glanced disdainfully at the few drops of blood splattered on his arm and frowned…
