Chapter 198 Bandits
Not long after Song Liyun lay down, human voices were heard from the direction of the campsite where human activities were discovered.
Two people came over and said, "Hei Pi has been away all day. Where do you think he went?"
"Where else can he run to? That guy is as brave as a mouse. We are just in the mountains.
"Do you think that old man surnamed Hong has any money? He's not trying to trick us, is he?"
"It doesn't matter if he has no money. Suijin Town is selling land for building houses and has collected hundreds of taels of silver. If he can make a profit, he'll have enough to eat and drink for a while."
"Humph, that's a good thing. Didn't you see that the Zhenbei Army built a garrison here?"
"So what? I heard from Huo Lao Er that the guard post is several miles away from the Song family. As long as we act quickly, rush in, rob them and leave, the guard post will have no way to find them."
"Haha, that's true..."
As the voices of the two people got closer, Song Liyun couldn't help but hold her breath.
The body was located seven or eight meters away from the path. If you paid a little attention, you could find the messy traces.
Sure enough, after just a few breaths, a cry of surprise rang out next to Song Liyun: "Quick, someone's been caught by the lasso. Damn it, what's going on?"
Song Liyun's heart skipped a beat: This noose was put on by these people themselves!
The two men rushed to the body, and with a rustling sound, the body was carried to the road.
Someone was shouting in the distance, "Second Brother Huo, look at what you've done! I told you no one had ever been here, yet you insisted on setting a trap. Now, something's wrong!"
This group of people is quite a lot!
Hearing the chaotic footsteps coming, Song Liyun couldn't help but hold her breath.
Fortunately, these people's attention was on the body, and they quickly carried it away.
Song Liyun parted the grass in front of her and looked over. In the shadows she saw the backs of four or five people.
After the sound disappeared, Song Liyun quietly stood up. She did not follow rashly, but turned around and walked down the mountain.
From what these people said, it seemed that they had heard about the land sale in the town from somewhere, and they wanted to enter the town to rob people, including their own family.
I don’t know who Heijin can find. If there is only Han Ming, it will be of no help. The best way now is to notify the guard post.
She had no idea that her absence had alerted the guards.
Song Liyun rushed back, while Han Ming, Zhao Tingduo and others rushed up the mountain, and the two groups met halfway.
Seeing Song Liyun standing in front of him in one piece, Zhao Tingduo finally felt relieved, but he didn't say much in front of others.
Han Ming said in a deep voice: "Girl, what happened? Why are you staying in the mountains?"
Song Liyun asked them to lower their voices and explained the situation on the mountain. Finally, he said, "This may be our only chance to eliminate the hidden danger."
These days, the people from Tianxiang Tower have been acting in the dark while she has been in the light. She can only be on guard and respond, which has made her feel very frustrated.
Now she finally has the chance to catch this group of people, she can't miss it.
"Okay, but who should we let go and notify the garrison?" The three of them looked at each other. Before Han Ming could even call out his name, Song Liyun spoke up, "Let Abu go!"
Abu's voice was hoarse: "I'm not going. It's Heijin who should go and deliver the message."
His words were unanimously denied.
There is no way that Heijin can go to the garrison. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a wild beast and will be stabbed by the soldiers as soon as it shows up.
Moreover, if it is complicated, black gold cannot express it.
Zhao Tingduo and Han Ming looked at Song Liyun.
Song Liyun waved at the two of them and said quickly, "I'm the only one who can lead the way there."
Abu was driven down the mountain, and Heijin went with him.
There is danger on the mountain now, so we can't let anyone be left alone. Although Heijin is a monkey, he can still follow Abu and serve as a warning.
So, one who couldn't speak and the other who needed protection, Abu and Heijin rushed back, looking at each other with contempt.
The remaining three people, Song Liyun, Han Ming and Zhao Ashi, were not in a hurry to go up the mountain. They tacitly started to form a team.
Han Ming doesn't understand tactics, but he has a better understanding of Song Liyun's situation.
Although every time Song Liyun took action was a coincidence, but after several life-and-death experiences, it was clear that with her calmness and wit, she had no problem protecting herself.
Song Liyun was also aware of Han Ming's strength.
But for his new partner Zhao A Shi, all of them are blank.
Especially to Song Liyun.
He looked at the delicate and gentle girl and said sincerely, "Miss Song, I have always been a charge in the team and have no experience in protecting others. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
Although Captain Luo and General Wang both said that Miss Song was capable, in Zhao Tingduo's eyes, Song Liyun was just a woman who was somewhat smart, but very weak and easily blushed.
Zhao Tingduo disagreed with Luo Baihu's evaluation.
Song Liyun's behavior of beating people with a wooden stick in the market was considered tough among women in the Wu Dynasty, but in the tribe, she was not even as tough as women riding horses to herd sheep and cattle.
I am used to charging into battle on horseback, winning with momentum, speed and strength, and I really don't know how to protect a woman in a fight.
He was worried that if a fight broke out, Song Liyun, who was weak and helpless, would be in danger.
Song Liyun looked at Zhao A Shi strangely: Are you worried that I might get in the way?
She said calmly, "Don't worry about me!"
This Zhao A Shi stayed at Baolinju twice, for almost ten days.
But apart from the fact that he is handsome and sunny, studious and inquisitive, and now has the added advantage of being able to find milk tea, we know very little about other things about him.
He never mentioned his position, so now he said that he was a vanguard in the army. That was a leak!
However, it's better to say it in advance, at least later you won't feel that his behavior is abrupt.
When Han Ming heard Zhao A Shi say that he would not consider others, he responded, "I will protect the girl."
Han Ming and Song Liyun have partnered many times and have a tacit understanding with each other.
After the discussion, the three of them did not dare to stay down there for too long, so they dived back to where Song Liyun found the body and walked deeper along the footprints left by the group of people.
The moon was already at its zenith, and its water-like light enveloped the jungle. Instead of the brightness of the breeze and bright moon, the shadows of the trees of varying heights appeared eerie and hideous.
Zhao Tingduo's eyes were sharp. He knew what Song Liyun meant by the scimitar.
And he also knew that behind these mountains was the grassland.
It didn't take long for Song Liyun and the other two to find their target. They observed them secretly before taking action.
The place where this group of people lived was an inconspicuous cave.
At this time, a bonfire was lit at the entrance of the cave, and about twenty people were scattered around it.
Between them lay the body of the unfortunate man who had been killed in a trap set by his own people.
At this time, a short and strong man in gray and black shorts was standing beside the corpse and checking it.
After a moment, the short and sturdy man raised his head, revealing a face covered with stubble, a high nose and deep eyes. He said fiercely, "Who has his purse? Where is the machete?"
