The green, broad-leaved trees all over the mountain rolled and jumped before the wind, making rustling noises. It was like a huge, mighty lynx had raised its back. The chickadees were scattered all over the sky by the wind, turning into flying black dots. On the precipitous bank, the tall and slender grass of Ba Thatch danced in the air like countless spears raised high in the air.
In this dense forest, there were dozens of people hiding.
They were the group of masked men in gray who had attacked the Cheng mansion for the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng. Ever since they entered the forest, they had been staying here. Other than a few people who were sent out to gather information, they did not do anything else.
The leader was a tall and sturdy man. There was nothing special about his face, but the skin at the back of his head and neck had a strange reddish-brown color. Moreover, it was tightly wrinkled, like several moaning rivers on the muddy ground.
This was a mark left by Guan Wei when he was practicing. Although he looked ugly, he had a great reputation among the Horse Gang in Taichong County.
At this moment, they had already cleared the area. There was nothing else to set fire to, so they could roast the prey they had hunted in the forest.
However, Guan Wei's mind was obviously not on this. He gnawed off a roasted rabbit leg and threw the branch away, saying, "Copper Head and the others have been gone for three days. Why haven't they come back yet? Where the hell did they go?"
One of his men quickly came up and said, "Captain Guan, the county must be in a mess because of us. It won't be easy to find out what happened at this time. Besides, Copper Head and the others are not familiar with this place. It's good enough that they can get back to you in four or five days. "
Guan Wei nodded slightly. Although he had a bad temper, he was not an unreasonable person.
He frowned slightly and said, "They won't be in danger, right?"
Another person quickly said, "Don't worry. It's not the first time Copper Head and the others have done this. Besides, with their strength, even if they were discovered, it would be child's play for them to escape. As long as Copper Head and the others don't exhaust themselves in the brothel when they are asking for information, they will be fine. "
Everyone laughed at the same time. After hearing this analogy, they all wanted to be in Copper Head's place.
A knowing smile appeared on Guan Wei's face, but his mouth said, "If those fellows mess up this master's plans, see if this master doesn't skin them alive."
They had great confidence in their partners. Not to mention the local government in Taicang County, even the officials in Linlang County didn't have many Inner Strength Cultivators who had reached the fifth stage. Copper Head and the others were all fifth level Internal Strength practitioners, and Copper Head was a seventh level Internal Strength practitioner. Naturally, they did not care about the officials here.
However, these Red-scarf Burglars who ran amok in Taicang County did not know that Taicang County was different from their hometown. Here, the Cheng family was the official family. In order to avenge their family, everyone did their best and did not dare to be careless. Because the Cheng family knew that the Red-scarf Burglars were not ordinary people, they had prepared a backup team. Therefore, they were able to capture the men sent by Guan Wei to ask for information.
However, when it happened in the county, they did not know. Therefore, they could be so carefree now.
In the distance, a horse bandit scolded loudly. His voice was full of impatience.
Guan Wei glanced in that direction. The quick-witted person beside him immediately ran over. A moment later, that person returned and said, "Captain, the two five-man teams in charge of hunting today have yet to return after going out. That's why Brother Ma is angry over there."
Guan Wei suddenly raised his head. His eyes became sharp in an instant. He asked in a deep voice, "None of the two teams came back?"
"Yes." The man was startled and said quickly.
Guan Wei's face became gloomier. After all, he was a master of ninth level Internal Strength and a horse bandit leader who had experienced many life and death situations. At this moment, he finally felt that something was wrong.
He looked up and looked around. The gloomy forest seemed to bring a dangerous atmosphere to him.
"Pass down the order. Pack up. We'll leave immediately."
The people around him were puzzled. At this moment, they heard a laugh in the dense forest.
"Leave? Where do you think you're going? "
The voice did not come from one place. It seemed to be floating in the dense forest. It was as if a person was running around and talking at the fastest speed.
The next moment, the sound of swords being drawn was suddenly heard among the horse bandits. Although the horse bandits were abnormally afraid of this mysterious voice, no one panicked.
The horse bandits who had been tempered between life and death had a stable mentality that was far from what ordinary people could imagine.
Guan Wei's eyes rolled. He was secretly shocked. Suddenly, he snorted and waved his hand. A cold light shot out from his hand like lightning and flew behind a big tree.
"Bang …"
A small sword fell to the ground. It seemed to have hit some kind of steel, making a crisp sound.
Guan Wei said coldly, "Who are you? How dare you play tricks here? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." The man did not come out. He was still hiding behind the big tree. He said, "If you want to talk about sneakiness, who can be more sneaky than masked robbers at night?"
Guan Wei's face changed slightly. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The Cheng family?"
After saying these two words, his ears suddenly trembled a few times. He hurriedly said, "Not good. There are people coming here. Everyone, let's go."
Dozens of people immediately picked up their weapons and dashed toward the path that they had prepared beforehand. Under such circumstances, no one went to pick up the things on the ground. It was obvious that this was not the first time these people had done this.
Two figures suddenly appeared from behind the big tree. One was naturally Cheng Jiahui, the other was He Quanxin.
After they appeared, they immediately pounced on Guan Wei.
Guan Wei sneered. His hand moved and a large sword appeared in his hand. Although this broadsword was not as exaggerated as He Wude's long-handled broadsword, it was still several inches thick and nearly a meter long. As the broadsword chopped down, the sharp sound of wind breaking could be heard like a landslide or a tsunami.
Cheng Jiahui's figure suddenly stopped. He Quanxin also shook his hand. A red tasseled spear coiled up like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole.
These two masters both had ninth-level internal strength cultivation. Although He Quanxin's strength was slightly higher, Guan Wei was a horse bandit. When he attacked, there was a wild aura. When they fought, it was as if he had a grudge against He Quanxin for killing his father or stealing his wife. Every move was as if he had a grudge against He Quanxin for killing his father or stealing his wife.
Under such a shameless fighting style, even He Quanxin's hands and feet were tied. In a moment, he was at a disadvantage.
Cheng Jiahui did not go forward. Instead, he avoided this battle and wanted to chase after the normal horse bandits. However, the other mounted bandit turned around and started a fight with Cheng Jiahui. His cultivation was only at the seventh level, but when he brandished the large saber in his hand, it had the same effect as Guan Wei's. Every move he made was as if his life depended on it, making the arrogant Cheng Jiahui not dare to touch him at all.
After the four fought for a while, countless footsteps came from the direction they appeared from. The Cheng family's reinforcements had finally arrived.
At this moment, Guan Wei and the other horse bandit laughed at the same time. Their sword movements slowed and they had already retreated, chasing after their companions.
These two people had been actively attacking, so they could retreat at any time without fear.
However, they did not notice that although He Quanxin and Cheng Jiahui were shouting, they did not really risk their lives to stop them. They only looked at their backs with ridicule.
Then, the two of them unhurriedly caught up.
Guan Wei and Cheng Jiahui left quickly. After a while, they suddenly heard sharp screams in front of them. From the sound, they knew that many of the screams were from their brothers.
The two of them were anxious and quickened their steps. When they reached the front, they could not help but stare.
More than half of the forty people at the front were already lying on the ground at the edge of the forest. Among the people lying on the ground, there were several crossbow bolts in their bodies.
It was clear that someone had been hiding here for a long time, waiting for them to take the bait.
Thinking about it, Guan Wei immediately understood who had leaked the news that they had a backup plan. "Copper Head is in your hands."
An old man with white hair and beard calmly walked out from the trees in front of them. This old man was the master of the Cheng family, Cheng Ningsheng.
The old man looked at Guan Wei with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes. "That's right. Copper Head's bones are hard, but I's hands are harder. After I crushed all of his bones, he told me everything he knew."
Cheng Ningsheng's words were calm, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend. But when he met the old man's eyes, Guan Wei felt a faint chill in his heart.
He suddenly felt a trace of regret. Could it be that he had underestimated the aristocratic families here?
Cheng Ningsheng stretched out his hands. In his hands was a walking stick made of fine steel. He said in a clear voice, "Mr. Guan, I didn't enjoy the last battle to the fullest. Let's have another one."
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed out from behind him. Seeing these people's movements, Guan Wei's heart sank.
Among these people, there were many experts who had reached the seventh or eighth level of internal energy.
It could be seen that in order to seek revenge, the entire Cheng family had gone all out!
