Chapter 58: The Robber

  Bandits are able to survive not because they can find ways to live under the siege of government troops, but because the government troops do not take them seriously. Any bandit gang that is targeted by the government troops will be in a very precarious situation.

  Even with great strength, even if they are confident that they can withstand the siege of government troops, at that time their losses will be heavy, and whether they can come out to rob again in the future is a problem, their strength must have been greatly reduced.

  Those who participate in the Dragon Gate competition are very important for a country, they are the future warriors of a nation and a guarantee to live in this world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong.

  No country would neglect the safety of these people, let alone set a precedent by touching them!!

  Therefore, the robbers would not do such a losing business that leads to their own death. At most, they would symbolically collect tolls from passersby, and some even took a break and stopped doing it for a while. Some of them went to watch the Dragon Gate racing, and others even participated in the race directly.

  "Fellow brothers on the road, we are a team from Qingyun Prefecture participating in the Longmen Competition. Please let us pass, and this silver is for everyone to have some tea!!"

  The leading officer of Qingyun Prefecture was very polite and knew how to negotiate, handing over ten taels of silver to the other side.

  Normally, ten taels of silver would definitely not be enough, but at this time, giving you ten taels is already giving you face, and I don't have to give you a single cent.

  "Ten taels? Don't you think this amount of money is not enough for us to share?" The leader of the robbers said after receiving the silver, weighing it and then gesturing to his men.

  This gang of robbers is not large, with only sixteen people, of course, this is relative!!

  "Don't you know who we are? Take your money and leave, or don't blame us later!!" the official said.

  "Big sister, Su Xin Miss, you two rally the people and go kill that group of people. Use your strongest moves directly, one by one, concentrate your strength and launch a surprise attack!! Be quick!! Don't make any noise!!" Xiang Yang said calmly.

  "What?!" The two girls, Dàjiě and Nángōng Sùxīn, were initially perplexed, but they quickly grasped Xiāo Yáo's meaning.

  So they quickly took action with their prestige, and it was easy to make people listen, let alone there were some people from the Nan Gong clan and the Mo family here.

  These people are indeed elites, able to stand out among so many people, and naturally they won't be ordinary people, they quietly surround.

  Because there were only over thirty people, while the caravan had over two hundred people, big and small, naturally, it didn't attract too much attention. The negotiators on both sides still thought these people were just here to watch the excitement, especially the bandits opposite them.

  These robbers don't even know who participated in the Longmen competition, who is a master and who is an ordinary person!!

  "What are you? I don't care who you are, if you want to pass through this road today, you must leave something behind!!"

  "Hum! We are participants of the Dragon Gate Competition, how dare you block our way?"

  "No matter who you are, even if you're the emperor's son, today everyone is equal. If you want to pass through this road, leave your toll money behind, or else go back!! Or else leave your life behind!!"

  "How much do you want?" the official asked coldly. Since that's the case, let's get past this first and talk about it later. When the time comes, I'll let you know what regret is. Anyway, the money given is also from the government, what does it have to do with me?

  "One hundred thousand taels!" The bandit leader chuckled and said proudly.

  Perhaps he didn't know what kind of consequences his words would bring to himself, because he never thought that the people in front of him would not act according to common sense.

  "Go die!!"

  The big sister shouted angrily, then drew her sword and made a move. This move was the big sister's strongest move, a desperate move that would either succeed or fail, but under normal circumstances it would definitely fail. However, the situation is different now.

  If it were just the young lady alone, this group of robbers would not be afraid and would even despise her. The young lady's level is still far from theirs.

  But now the situation is surprising them, and they can't even believe it, because they see a group of people taking action at the same time, launching attacks at the same time, and using their strongest ultimate moves.

  "You..."

  This caught the robbers off guard, wanting to take up their weapons to resist, but one was hesitant and indecisive, while the other was overconfident and completely unaware of the situation. Under such circumstances, unless there is an absolute difference in strength, there can only be one outcome.

  "Ah..."

  "Ah..."

  “……”

  One by one, the robbers fell under the chaotic blades, only a few with strong enough abilities survived, but all were left with some injuries.

  The big sisters and others didn't give them a chance to catch their breath, and once again they hacked at them with chaotic knives...

  Even if one is an extraordinary master, being surrounded by the chaotic blades of over thirty martial artists at the general and soldier levels would be somewhat troublesome. How much more so when these people are far from being extraordinary masters, with the strongest among them only being at the general level.

  One hand is hard to fight against many fists, this is a famous saying!!

  "Hello, great!!"

  After several rounds, only one person was left who could still breathe, but he was just gasping for air and had already fallen to the ground unable to move.

  "May I ask, who sent you?" Nan Gong Su Xin hastily said in front of the eldest miss, this sentence allowed her to take the lead over the eldest miss, making people think she was the mastermind behind this matter.

  "Hmph! I won't say anything, we lost today!! But don't think this is the end of it, there will be more people coming after us!!" The last person retorted with great spirit.

  "You've told us a lot, now suffer!! Kill him!!" said Nangong Suzhen, and soon someone took action, just to win over Nangong Suzhen's heart.

  "How can you do this? You didn't even ask clearly and just came to use force!!" The officer was a bit stunned by the rapid development of events in front of him.

  "Adults, if we wait until it's clear before acting, don't we still have a few chances of winning? Can it be resolved so easily?" said Nangong Suzi calmly.

  The big sister saw this situation and directly slipped away, she was too lazy to explain here and didn't want to take the lead!!

  "But... you should have asked clearly before, this is a bit too careless with people's lives..." The official always felt that it was a bit too hasty.

  "Are they looking down on our lives?! First of all, if they are robbers, killing them would be a good deed for the people! And if they say they're not, we've already shown our identities, but they still continue to make things difficult for us. That means they're here to deal with us, or rather, to deal with us participants in the Dragon Gate Competition!!" Nan Gong Su said calmly.

  "This... could it be that they want to use underhanded means to get rid of their opponents outside of the Dragon Gate tournament? This shouldn't be possible, right?!"

  "There's nothing impossible, the Longmen competition isn't new to us, everyone knows the rules, and they're asking for 100,000, it doesn't need to be said that we can all think of it, they just don't want to let us pass!!" Nangong Suxin reminded.

  No matter how you say it, this group of people is very strange and must be someone trying to block the Dragon Gate competition!!

  The goal is to reduce the number of opponents, and reducing the number of opponents does not necessarily mean that they are powerless, perhaps there is still a very formidable force, but even so, it may be possible to reduce the number of opponents in order to prevent any unexpected events.

  One less opponent means one less chance of failure!!

  "But even so, there's no need to kill people, is there..."

  "Don't you understand? If we don't launch a surprise attack on them, their strength can hold us back!" Nan Gong Su said with an ill temper.

  "Blocking a person's path to wealth is like killing their parents, and obstructing their future is even worse!!" A carefree voice came over, followed by his horse carriage.

  This sentence is correct, it's blocking these people's future, no matter what reason, this kind of person should be killed!! At least for the people in front of us, that's how it is!!

  Of course, no one will care who said this sentence. The phrase "Xiaoyao" simply explained the situation and didn't make anyone's eyes light up.

  "Come on, Nangong Suzhen, don't wait here anymore! There must be more ahead, perhaps this group of people is just slightly blocking us, the real focus is behind. What we need to do now is to rush through the Tianfeng Mountains at the fastest speed!!" The young lady said to Nangong Suzhen.

  Nangong Suzi immediately understood after hearing the words, and at this time she shouldn't say anything more here. The most important thing is to get through this place quickly.

  "Everyone, get on the horse carriage and rush through the mountain at the fastest speed!! Now!!" Nan Gong Su Xin shouted to everyone, and these people immediately followed the instructions and quickly finished preparing.

  Have to say, this time the people who came are all pretty good, and the coordination is also very good!!

  Charge!!

  "Drive..."

  "Drive..."

  All the carriages maintained their formation and galloped at top speed along this mountain road, with Xiao Yao's carriage leading the way!

  Nangong Suzi and the eldest sister are both in this carriage, others naturally have no idea, want to rob this first place!!

  "There's someone in front!"

  When she had run halfway, Nangong Suzhi found that there were a few people ahead, seemingly also in a hurry, but if they didn't dodge, the road was not wide and would definitely collide.

  "Get out of the way! The horse has gone mad!!"

  Xiaoyao yelled at the person in front of him, he didn't mean to stop.

  "Boss, be careful! Hold on tight!!" Xiang suddenly reminded.

  Because he found that the person in front of him still didn't leave, his choice was to continue, not brake, and crash into them!

  "Awesome!!"

  Those few people also discovered Xiao Yao's behavior, cursed secretly, then used very agile movements to dodge and attach themselves to Xiao Yao's carriage.

  "As expected, there's a problem! Wait for you!!" The big sister and Nangong Suxin both launched their sword moves.

  These people are indeed intentionally blocking the way, these people should be someone who has come to stop pedestrians from passing by, or they are chasing behind, perhaps they are preparing an ambush in front.
