In ancient villages, the environment wasn't destroyed, causing wild beasts to roam freely. In addition, the security wasn't good and there weren't any electric lights. Hence, there were no people on the roads at night.
Even so, Sun Mo was still very cautious. He brought the group with the best eyesight to lead the way. Once they encountered strangers, they would immediately take them down to prevent them from reporting.
Three miles passed in the blink of an eye.
Sun Mo hid under a slope and stared at the Zhong Clan's courtyard.
"I'll repeat it for the last time. We want wealth more than our lives. Apart from the resisters like the guards and Landlord Zhong's family, you can kill them. Try not to hurt the women and children. If I see anyone hurting those women, I won't show any mercy with my knife."
Sun Mo roared in a low voice, his expression stern.
Some bandits didn't think so.
"With money, we can go to the brothels. Don't harm those pitiful women."
Sun Erniang spoke up.
"Stop talking, quickly act!"
Ye Biao urged.
"According to the plan, we will split up. When the battle cries from the front ring out, the other groups will move."
As Sun Mo spoke, he used a piece of red cloth to cover his mouth and nose.
"Do it!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The bandits immediately bent their backs and ran toward the locations they were in charge of.
The walls of the Zhong Clan's courtyard were three meters tall. It looked very imposing, but it couldn't stop the bandits.
Sun Mo silently calculated the time. After everyone was in position and rested for a few minutes, he took off the longbow on his back.
"Brothers, let's go and get rich!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he took the lead and leaped over the slope.
The Zhong Clan had guards on night duty, but they were usually guarding against wild beasts or thieves. They didn't expect so many bandits to attack the residence.
At this moment, they were all gambling in the entrance.
"I seem to have heard footsteps?"
A guard's ears twitched and he stuck his head out to take a look. In the end, he saw a group of bandits climbing over the wall. This caused him to turn pale with fright.
"There are bandits..."
Swoosh!
Before he could finish shouting, an arrow shot into his eye socket, penetrating his head.
Putong!
The corpse fell to the ground.
"Damn, how can it be so accurate?"
Ye Biao jumped in fright. This distance was at least forty meters. Furthermore, it was night time and there was a light breeze blowing. However, as soon as the guard's head appeared, he disappeared.
The other two guards panicked when they saw their comrade die. They hurriedly took out their gongs and wanted to sound the alarm, but they were immediately shot dead.
"Motherf * cker, rapid fire arrows?"
Ye Biao's lackeys were just about to run over and kill the two guards to prevent them from reporting the news. Who knew that they would be shocked by this scene.
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up!"
Sun Mo urged.
The guards were the fastest to react. Some of them had just fallen asleep, but they didn't bother to put on their clothes and rushed out with their weapons.
Those who didn't see the thief ran toward Landlord Zhong's master bedroom. Those who saw the thief swarmed toward him, and their fighting spirit soared.
Sun Mo raised his hand and shot out two arrows consecutively, killing the leader first.
"Kill!"
Ye Biao was also a ruthless person. With a loud roar, he brought a few of his lackeys and pounced forward, fighting with the guards.
In a chaotic battle, it was easy to accidentally injure others. Sun Mo had no way to shoot arrows anymore. He could only pull out his goose feather blade and kill his way in.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was pressed for time and was afraid that the main character would run away, Sun Mo wouldn't want to put in so much effort.
"Sigh, in any case, they are just a bunch of NPCs in a black and white game. There's no need to care about them!"
Sun Mo consoled himself as he looked at the servant whose arm he had chopped off.
"This guy is troublesome!"
Ye Biao frowned and roared, telling everyone to be careful. In the end, Sun Mo joined the battle and killed a few guards with a single slash. He was so ferocious that it was ridiculous.
"It can't be, right? It's one thing that his archery skills are so powerful, but why is his blade skills so powerful as well?"
The group of villainous bandits thought back to yesterday when Sun Mo was still dressed like a scholar. They almost thought that they were dreaming.
"Who is the real thief here?"
Ye Biao was speechless. Were scholars nowadays all so ferocious?
"Ye Biao, you rush first. I'll retaliate!"
Sun Mo instructed.
Usually, if a newbie dared to shout his name like this, Ye Biao would have long since flipped out. But now, he didn't say anything and directly rushed out.
Sun Mo's performance made him convinced. Moreover, he also knew that Sun Mo's archery skills were superb. Compared to slashing people, it was more meaningful to conserve one's strength to shoot the important targets.
At this moment, the Zhong Clan's residence was in complete chaos. When the guards heard the battle cries in the front courtyard and rushed over, the other bandits who were lying in ambush also started to move.
Very soon, Ye Biao brought a maid captive and arrived before the Zhong Clan Leader's residence. At this moment, the gate was wide open and a fat man was standing there, giving orders.
Around him, there were eight valiant-looking servants.
"I'm going to kill you!"
When enemies met, their eyes would be exceptionally red. Zhong Xiaoliu's eyes turned red and he wanted to rush over.
Pak!
Sun Mo pulled Zhong Xiaoliu back. "Are you courting death?"
Both parties met face to face and raised the longbows in their hands at the same time.
It was just that on the bandits' side, including Sun Mo, there were only three people who knew archery. However, Sun Mo was enough.
Beng! Beng! Beng!
Each time the bowstring vibrated, an arrow would shoot out like a shooting star, nailing into the face of a servant. It was either the mouth or the eyeball.
In any case, those who were shot would die directly.
After two rounds of shooting, the servants started to panic.
This archery skill was too f * cking terrifying.
"Kill him and you'll be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
Landlord Zhong saw that his side's morale had plummeted and hurriedly issued a reward. "Kill a bandit, 10 taels of silver. Kill a bandit chief, 100 taels of silver!"
10 taels of silver was enough for a farmer's family of three to live on for a year. Hence, the servants went crazy and rushed over with loud roars.
However, Landlord Zhong turned and ran back into the house.
There was no need to ask. Even if Sun Mo used his knees to think, he knew that there was a secret escape path inside. Hence, he drew his bow again.
Pu!
The arrow pierced through Landlord Zhong's thigh, causing him to scream in pain and fall to the ground. His mouth was bruised from the impact.
These few servants were all elites, especially the captain. He wielded a tiger-headed broadsword in an awe-inspiring manner and killed three bandits in a row.
"Brother Sun, help me!"
Ye Biao was a little scheming. He intentionally shouted out Sun Mo's name because he wanted to expose his identity and sever his path of retreat.
Naturally, Ye Biao didn't have any bad intentions. He just felt that with a good person like Sun Mo, the village would be able to develop better.
"Stupid, go and capture the landlord first. To catch bandits, capture the king first!"
Sun Mo cursed.
Ye Biao's adrenaline was surging and his brain wasn't working properly. When he heard this, he felt that it made sense and immediately lunged toward Landlord Zhong.
However, he didn't think about it. Would the captain of the servants agree?
Even if the village fell, the owner would have to bring it away. Hence, he started to fight with his life on the line.
"As expected of someone called Brother Biao. His brain is a little stupid."
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
Ye Biao and the captain were evenly matched. After both of them were injured and exhausted, Sun Mo suddenly came over and slashed with his broadsword.
Dang! Dang!
The captain wasn't able to block it and his hair was sliced off.
"How about it? Do you want to come to our village and become a weed? "
Sun Mo invited.
The captain's countenance turned green and red. He knew that Sun Mo had held back. Otherwise, his head would have fallen off.
"I have a wife and children!"
The captain explained.
"I understand. You can leave!"
Sun Mo released the captain. After that, he looked at the other servants. "You guys won't be able to win. If you don't wish to die, quickly throw away your broadswords and surrender!"
"Brother Sun, you mustn't let them go. Someone will report this!"
Ye Biao didn't understand. (You clearly have the strength to crush them. Wouldn't it be easier to kill them?)
Sun Mo directly glared over. "Who's the boss here?"
"Eh!"
Ye Biao hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet Sun Mo's gaze.
On the other side, Zhong Xiaoliu had already captured Landlord Zhong.
"You guys are all traitors. I have to spend a huge sum of money every month to feed you guys."
Landlord Zhong cursed loudly.
Zhong Xiaoliu lifted his hand and delivered three punches, smacking Landlord Zhong's face.
"Brother Biao, act according to the plan!"
Sun Mo urged, telling him not to bother with the captain anymore.
"I wonder what your great name is?"
The captain clasped his fists. "I will definitely repay the grace of sparing my life in the future!"
"Swallow Li San!"
Sun Mo spoke half-heartedly, but his words caused all the servants to draw in a cold gasp. Even Landlord Zhong couldn't help but look over.
This bandit name was the most well-known one in the Jiang Province. It was because it had dyed the lives of Pang Jili and tens of people from the Hundred Beauties Pavilion red.
Not long later, Landlord Zhong's wife, concubine, and seven children were all captured.
"Tell me where you hid the gold and silver!"
Sun Mo persuaded. "You also don't want your entire family to go to hell, right?"
Landlord Zhong struggled. That was the wealth that his family had accumulated for several generations.
"If you tell me, your family will live and have a chance to start over. If you don't, your entire family will die, and the wealth will be taken away by others."
Sun Mo analyzed the pros and cons.
Landlord Zhong couldn't bear to.
"My time is limited. Men, light the incense. After the incense is burned, kill his entire family!"
Sun Mo's tone was cold.
In the backyard, a woman's cry for help could be heard.
"Brother Biao, I'm going to clean up the household. Do you want to come along?"
Sun Mo invited.
"Ah?"
Ye Biao started. After understanding Sun Mo's meaning, he felt that Sun Mo was making a mountain out of a molehill. Wasn't it very normal to sleep with a few women?
"I've said it before. I only seek wealth and not life. If someone is disobedient, then they can just die!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he walked out of the door.
Ye Biao wanted to persuade Sun Mo. After all, this matter was very common among bandits. However, his subordinates pulled him back.
"Brother, don't provoke him. That fellow's eyes are filled with killing intent!"
"Brother Sun is a good person. If he wasn't forced by Pang Jili, how could he be a bandit?"
"With money, what women can't he have? There's no need to infuriate Brother Sun for such a small matter! "
This group of subordinates had all defected.
They had followed Sun Mo all the way here. They had all seen Sun Mo's divine might and were filled with admiration for him.
In a room, three bandits were currently bullying two maids.
"Cry, cry louder. I like it!"
One of the bandits teased as he took off his clothes. However, he suddenly saw the head of his comrade rolling off his neck. After that, warm blood splattered all over his face.
"What a coincidence, I also like girls who cry very loudly!"
Sun Mo chortled.
The two bandits were stunned. One of them knelt down with a thud, while the other gritted his teeth and howled.
"I'm someone from the Great Leader's faction, one of the first batch of people to establish a sect in Bright Mountain..."
Before this fellow could finish speaking, Sun Mo slashed out with his blade.
Ka!
A head rolled off.
"Noisy!"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Ah!"
The last bandit was so frightened that he was trembling. He kept on kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Hug your heads and follow me!"
Sun Mo commanded. After casting a glance at the maids who had curled up into a ball, he walked out.
"Oh my grandpa, what kind of killing god did the village recruit?"
The bandits who had survived didn't even dare to let out a fart. They hugged their heads and clamped their buttholes tightly as they tiptoed behind Sun Mo.
Along the way, as long as Sun Mo saw bandits who had harmed women, he wouldn't listen to any reason and would directly chop off their heads. After strolling around and returning to the residence, the bandit behind him was already carrying 11 heads.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Biao and the others broke out in cold sweat.
Did he have to be so ruthless?
These were their own brothers!
"Did he confess?"
Sun Mo asked.
"No!"
If it wasn't for Sun Mo not allowing him to kill people, Ye Biao would have killed the landlord's family to force him.
"My time is tight, so I can't wait any longer. So, are you going to confess? Or are you courting death? "
Sun Mo's tone was very calm, unlike other bandits who were filled with possessiveness toward gold and silver.
"I... I'll confess!"
Landlord Zhong compromised. A bandit leader who even wanted to kill his own people was too ruthless. However, he had a bottom line. Maybe he could trust him once.
Landlord Zhong revealed the location where he had hidden his silver.
"Move everything onto the horse and mule cart. Hurry up!"
Sun Mo urged. After that, he looked at Landlord Zhong. "I'll let your family off, but you have committed too many evils. Whether you can survive or not will depend on yourself. Brother Biao, give him a knife!"
"Little Six, take revenge for your own grudges. You have no regrets in life or death!"
...
The people of the Zhong Clan Village weren't blind. They had long since seen the Zhong Clan's courtyard on fire and the cries for help. However, they didn't dare to come and rescue them. In addition, Landlord Zhong had been oppressing them too much. Hence, at this moment, the villagers couldn't wait for the Zhong Clan to be finished.
It'd be even better if they could burn the deed of debt!
Many people were praying that these bandits would burn down the Zhong Clan Village and erase everyone's debts.
The village head wanted to report this to the authorities, but before he could leave, he was blocked by a few men.
"Are you guys crazy? Aren't you afraid that those bandits will rob Landlord Zhong and then rob us? "
The village head scolded.
"We're just a bunch of poor people who can't eat their fill. Haha, what's there to rob?"
The few men mocked themselves.
Actually, the reason they came here was because Sun Mo had asked Zhong Xiaoliu to look for them before he took action.
After the robbery was successful, he would burn all the deeds of debt. But if someone snitched on them, they could forget about it. They would give the deeds of debt to the landlord of the neighboring village.
With Zhong Xiaoliu, the filial son, as a guarantor, these men decided to take a gamble. Hence, they controlled the exit of the village and the village head.
Two hours later, the Bright Mountain Bandits started to retreat.
"Brother Sun, Brother!"
Zhong Xiaoliu, who was covered in blood, found Sun Mo. Other than the joy of avenging his great hatred, there was more of a perplexed look on his face.
"In the future, we must kill all the landlords so that good people like you won't be bullied!"
Sun Mo reminded him.
When Zhong Xiaoliu heard this, his eyes brightened as if he had found a new goal in life. After that, he nodded heavily.
"If Brother Sun wants me to go east, I'll definitely not go west!"
"Alright!"
Sun Mo wiped away Zhong Xiaoliu's blood and patted his back. "Go, act according to the plan!"
"Mn!"
Zhong Xiaoliu ran toward the village.
"Brother Sun, what are you asking him to do?"
Ye Biao was curious.
