Hearing the word "bandit", Lin Feng visibly flinched. Biting her lower lip, with a look of sadness on her brow, she hesitated: "But... the bandits are numerous and powerful, and the number of warriors is unknown. Why do you have to risk your life? Why don't you go down the mountain at night and discuss it tomorrow?"
The man in front of me is too young.
Judging from his appearance, he is only two years older than me.
The other one is older, but if you look closely you can see that he still looks childish. He must be a rich young man who has not yet reached adulthood.
Lin Feng had been hiding in a box before, and the field of view through the dark hole was limited, so she couldn't see much. But she also knew that all the guards were injured, and the two gentlemen had the advantage of "surprise attack".
Putting the two of them together with those ferocious bandits was like two rabbits against a group of drooling, ferocious dogs. The huge disparity between them made people want to sweat for them.
Shen Tang did not deny it directly, but only asked: "Why?"
Lin Feng lowered his head and said, "I... I was sleeping in the box before, and I don't know how many bandits came the first time, but the Lin family guards paid the price of everyone being injured to break out of the encirclement, which shows that the bandits are quite powerful. They went back to regroup, and when they come again, they will definitely bring enough people, and maybe they will come out in full force."
She looked childish and cute, but her speech was steady and clear, which was unusual for her age, and her words were meaningful.
Shen Tang smiled and said, "I'll borrow your good words."
Lin Feng blinked in confusion: "Excuse me... my good words?"
"Yes, I hope they really come out in full force, and it will save me the trouble of climbing the mountain and searching to dig out their nest."
The more Lin Feng listened, the more shocked he became, and he even forgot to close his mouth.
"But, my dear..."
"In the face of absolute power, strength has nothing to do with numbers."
Lin Feng was no longer worried after hearing this, but his eyes subconsciously fell on Shen Tang's waist, as if he was looking for something, but he couldn't find it after scanning several times. Shen Tang picked up the Wenxin seal with a smile and said, "Are you looking for this? It's not easy to find it at night."
Shen Tang's Wen Xin Hua seal is delicate and small, transparent and clear, while Zhai Le's Wu Dan Hu Fu is an ink-colored tiger-head jade disk. He was wearing a black suit today, and the light at night was dim, so it was difficult to find them even with a naked vision of 5.0 in both eyes.
Lin Feng immediately felt relieved.
"Go to bed early. You'll be busy in an hour or two."
What are you busy with
Naturally, he was busy counting the spoils from the bandit's den.
Truly achieve - go out with nothing and return home rich.
Lin Feng said obediently: "Yes."
The curtains were lowered, and the gangsters buried the body and went to sleep somewhere. Only Shen Tang and the other two were still working the night shift.
In order to gain the upper hand, the two chose to climb the tree instead of staying under it, hiding in the treetops, using their height advantage to observe the enemy's situation and take the initiative when necessary. However, Zhai Le also had a question: "What if they don't come in the second half of the night?"
Shen Tang squatted on a tree branch, holding a pancake in his left hand and Du Kang wine in his right hand. He ate his midnight snack with gusto and did not forget to share it with his friends.
"Not coming? If you don't come, we will kill you tomorrow morning!"
How could I forgive him for standing me up and letting her feed mosquitoes the whole night
"Why don't mosquitoes bite you?"
Shen Tang slapped two more mosquitoes to death, then turned around and saw Zhai Le squatting there motionless, completely undisturbed.
Zhai Le said: "Ding, why not?"
He was very popular with mosquitoes, and he was bitten all over in summer. Finally, his brother told him that if he practiced martial arts to the point of releasing martial energy, mosquitoes would not be able to harm him. Hard work pays off. When he was still young and had not even mastered archery, he first learned how to release martial energy. He spent two years condensing it into a thin layer that adhered to his skin to block mosquitoes.
From then on, the winters were warm and the summers were cool, and he was immune to cold and heat. Even mosquitoes couldn't suck his blood. It turned out that his brother would never lie to him.
Shen Tang: “…”
Damn!
So cold!
It’s exclusive to Wudan again.
Damn, is this discrimination against Wenxin
When will the literati stand up
Shen Tang had no expression on her face, but Zhai Le, who was two trees away from her, felt a slight chill on his back. He rubbed his arms to suppress the goose bumps that had arisen. This time, the mosquito was fed... No, I waited for an hour, and it was almost the hour of the Ox.
Under the tree, the hooligans' snoring could be heard one after another.
On the tree, Shen Tang's patience was exhausted. She had a cold face, her Motherly Sword was polished to a shine, and murderous intent was about to overflow from her eyes.
At this moment, a slight rustling sound was heard. At first it sounded like the sound of grass and trees being blown by the night wind, but upon closer inspection, one could hear some strange breathing sounds.
Zhai Le's eyes flashed and he gestured to the northwest to Shen Tang - this group of bandits were slowly approaching from this direction.
After concentrating for a while, he made another "hundred" gesture.
This meant that there were at least a hundred people. Some of the footsteps were heavy, probably ordinary people, but some were lighter, obviously people who had practiced martial arts, or even martial artists who had gathered their courage. Even if they were just a low-ranking official, they were not something that ordinary people could resist.
They are still some distance away from here.
Shen Tang whispered, "I'm not sure if the bandits have bows and arrows. We can't let them get too close. It's better to take the initiative and attack."
Although she didn't care about the life or death of the thugs under the tree, since she had recruited them, their death should have some value, rather than being chopped into meat paste while they were sleeping.
Zhai Le smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any bows and arrows."
Shen Tang: "Why are you so sure?"
Zhai Le said: "Because the campfires in our camp are all out."
Shen Tang understood immediately and nodded to show that he understood.
The campfire was extinguished, the vision was dim, and the enemy couldn't even find where they were. If they wanted to use bows and arrows to sneak attack and cause heavy casualties, they would need hundreds of archers to fire two or three rounds at the same time, and kill half of them in one wave. Otherwise, with a dozen bows and arrows, it would depend on luck to hit someone.
Can a bandit’s den mobilize hundreds of archers
Obviously not possible.
There were only about a hundred people in total.
Arrows are consumables, and a bow is not cheap. Instead of spending money on a bow and arrows, you might as well get a couple of machetes.
"Just in case, we need to strike first!" Zhai Le transformed a longbow into a bow with his left hand, grabbed the bowstring with four fingers of his right hand, and slowly pulled the bowstring. He used his ears to judge the enemy's approximate position, "Should we spare his life?"
Shen Tang said: "It depends on their luck."
Is this what you mean by asking him to think about it
Zhai Le understood.
The bandits never imagined that the black evil star lurking in the dark had already sharpened his knives and aimed at their vulnerable necks.
Dark shadows are approaching quietly.
If Shen Tang were here, he would find that there were several familiar faces among them—the officers who escorted the Gong family members to Xiaocheng were led by the chief officer!
"Are you sure here?"
"Boss, sure."
After a while, the person who went to get the news reported back: "Boss, from the sound of them, they are all asleep, and they are sleeping soundly, and everyone is snoring."
The leader frowned when he heard this.
He slept so defenselessly, without any night watch
