Chapter 329 Encounter
"Don't worry. The reason why those people are so powerful is because they practice martial arts and have internal strength. Ordinary people like you will definitely not be able to defeat them."
The third master explained.
"Inner power? What is this?"
Lang Ya was a little confused.
"This...I can't explain it clearly for a while. Anyway, just don't worry. I also have the inner strength of the third master. Plus there are hundreds of brothers behind me. I can't deal with five of them?"
The third master said with confidence.
Langya looked back at the team behind him. There were a hundred bandits with swords and more than a dozen large bows. Unless they were ambushed by the two hundred escorts, no one could do anything to them.
Thinking about it, he felt a little more at ease.
But what he didn't expect was that a group of scouts were gathering not far away.
On several big trees, ten figures kept standing like golden roosters for an unknown length of time. Some of them were exhausted and their legs began to tremble.
"Yuan Liang, how long do we have to do this!"
One of the scouts asked with a wry smile.
The maid in pink clothes said that they should keep doing this for an hour, and then they could take a rest.
"That girl said one hour, and now half of it has passed, so keep on holding on."
Yuan Liang sighed and looked around, but did not find the little girl.
"Yuan Liang, since the little girl is not here, why don't we be lazy?"
A man asked.
"That won't work. With Magistrate Lin's intelligence, we will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future. If we don't work hard and keep up with others, we won't be able to help much in the future."
"County Magistrate Lin has been so kind to us, we can never let him down."
Yuan Liang denied it at first.
"But Brother Yuan Liang, that little girl, does he really know the art of concealment? Why does it look unreliable to me?"
One person spoke.
Hearing this, Yuan Liang was also speechless. The main reason is that the maid in pink clothes has only been training them these past few days and has not even mentioned the concealment technique.
Although her fighting power is indeed formidable, when it comes to hiding, she may not be as good as them, veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles.
"If we don't talk to Magistrate Lin, I think this little girl is lying to us."
Several people were talking at random, and they really couldn't figure out what the use of training was.
Suddenly, a scout interrupted them and said:
"Look, is there something going on over there?"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and many birds started up, and some dust flew up.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Liang's expression changed. He was chatting just now, and he didn't even notice that there was a crowd approaching.
Looking at it like this, the other party is only a hundred feet away from here, and there are quite a lot of them. It would be okay if they were the escorts, but if they were bandits, then...
After scanning the surroundings, there was no sign of the maid in pink clothes. As the captain, he hurriedly gave instructions:
"Quick, everyone takes cover first."
Everyone hurriedly climbed down from the tree, and one of the men lay down on the ground, and then said:
"Listen to the footsteps, there are at least a hundred people on the other side."
Hundreds of people? Those escorts all operate in groups of fifty. Now is the plowing season, and it is impossible for hundreds of people to gather here.
Now there is a high probability that they will encounter bandits.
"Why do so many bandits suddenly appear?"
One person said with an ugly expression.
In all these years, Degao Town has never seen such a large group of bandits. Although all ten of them had fought on the battlefield, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too large, and they had no long-range weapons, so they could never stop them.
Time was running out, Yuan Liang said to the two people who turned down together:
"Go find the nearest escort team and the little girl, and tell them that there are suspected bandits coming. The rest of you should hide!"
"promise!"
Everyone had been on the battlefield for many years, so they quickly hid nearby without much fear.
The footsteps and noises gradually came and became louder and louder, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Yuan Liang scanned the outside, but found that many footprints had not been removed.
not good!
This will most likely reveal their location. The trees nearby were sparse, making them easy targets for bows and arrows if they were spotted.
Thinking about it, he jumped out again and quickly cleaned the footprints.
"Yuan Liang is coming back soon, it's too late!"
A scout reminded anxiously that the group of people was getting closer and closer, and the leader had already appeared in his field of vision.
Yuan Liang heard this, but did not reply. He gritted his teeth and cleaned the footprints on the ground.
Before the opponent turned the corner, he jumped into the grass next to him.
Many bandits came over quickly, but fortunately they did not behave strangely.
The leader was dressed in animal skins and held a broadsword in his hand. His steps were steady and his eyes were sharp, giving him an unusual aura, just like those generals on the battlefield and the general's personal guards.
No way? If you have this ability, you can at least become a personal guard in the army.
If you are afraid of death, the salary is not low when you go to look after the homes of the big family members, so why do you need to be a bandit?
Yuan Liang glanced at this person. For a moment, he felt something was strange, but he couldn't figure it out.
Looking back, I saw that there were more than a dozen large bows in the opponent's team. Based on these alone, there is some chance of winning even against the upper city guards.
The opponent's team was getting closer and closer. He glanced around and saw that there were no big flaws. The opponent was probably just passing by. He didn't expect that there would be someone hiding here.
If the ten of them were discovered and the other party had more than a dozen large bows, the whole army would probably be annihilated.
The opposing team slowly passed by, and just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the leading strong man suddenly stopped.
In an instant, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Yuan Liang only felt her head being pushed down, and with her peripheral vision, she didn't know when the maid in pink appeared beside her.
After a few seconds of stalemate, the leading bandit finally chose to leave.
The maid in pink clothes held a repeating crossbow in her hand and stared at the group of people.
After she assigned training tasks to a few people, she played around here and tried the repeating crossbow that Lin Xiaofan gave her. As a result, it didn't take long before I discovered this group of bandits and followed them all the way.
"If you meet people practicing martial arts in the future, don't stare at them, they will notice."
The pink-clad maid had a serious look on her face.
"Been taught a lesson."
Yuan Liang bowed.
"Master, walk one kilometer ahead and there will be a village. If we don't find a way to hold them back, I'm afraid they will be robbed."
One of the scouts said anxiously.
This group of bandits all look fierce. If they enter the village, they will inevitably kill people to establish their authority.
"Tell me, what should we do next?"
The pink-clothed maid glanced at everyone and asked.
"With just eleven of us, we will definitely not be able to deal with them. They also have big bows in their hands. Once their whereabouts are exposed, we will only die. In my opinion, we should spread out and find the escort as soon as possible."
A scout spoke.
