Chapter 197 Encountering Bandits

Yang Shucheng and five other people were surrounded by a group of bandits and were rushing left and right. When they couldn't break out, suddenly there was a shout from outside the mountain and another group of men and horses rushed in.

Yang Shucheng took a look and saw that they were dressed up. They were another group of robbers. Seeing this, Li Xing could no longer escape, so he shouted:

"Brothers, the situation is critical. Let's run away for our own lives. We will be brothers again in the next life."

"Wait a minute." Yang Shucheng shouted.

The four people looked at him, and Yang Shucheng said: "My brother is here."

What a desperate situation! When everyone heard that he was one of their own, they all plucked up their courage and started to kill the bandits in front of them.

The group of people who came were indeed Yang Shucheng's brothers.

The three leaders are none other than the "Taihang Three Heroes".

The "Three Heroes of Taihang" are Niu Shiming, Hu Liangjian and Wang Bao.

They occupied the Taihang Mountains and became kings, so they were free and at ease. However, Wu Shiguo of Luoyang City took advantage of Li Zicheng to capture Beijing. When the defense of Henan officers and soldiers was empty, he occupied a lot of territory and considered becoming the king of Luoyang.

But he also knew that the Ming Dynasty was still very powerful and he was weak, so he considered sweeping the Taihang Mountains. Once the city could not be defended, he could retreat to the Taihang Mountains with high mountains and dense forests.

Therefore, he ordered his general Tong Yuhui to sweep the Taihang Mountains. Tong Yuhui led his troops into the Taihang Mountains and conquered several mountain villages. However, the "Taihang Three Heroes" were originally Wu Shiguo's subordinates. They were excluded by Tong Yuhui and went to the Taihang Mountains. How could they do it again now? Returning to Tong Yuhui's tent, wouldn't that mean death?

But the "Taihang Three Heroes" only have a dozen brothers, how can they be Tong Yuhui's opponent? Seeing him coming to attack the stronghold, he had no choice but to abandon Taihang Mountain and leave.

When you go out of the mountains, you realize how big the world is. Where is the place to stay?

I only came south and walked for seven or eight days before I saw the Dabie Mountains. I saw that this mountain stretched from east to west for hundreds of miles and could not be seen to the end. The high mountains and dense forests could hide many people and horses. They were so happy that they all rushed to the Dabie Mountains.

At this time, the troops led by the "Taihang Three Heroes" also had more than a dozen brothers, all of whom were elites with strong martial arts skills and dared to charge and kill.

This group of people walked into the Dabie Mountains to find a good mountain village as a hiding place.

After walking along a mountain road for nearly two days, I heard shouts of death from far ahead.

The three of them hurriedly ran in with their brothers and saw a group of bandits surrounding the five people and killing them. These five people were left and right, and they were about to be hacked to death here.

The group of people stood aside and watched, and heard one of the five people being surrounded and killed shouting loudly:

"Brother Hu, Brother Niu, Brother Wang, what are you doing standing here? Come and save me quickly."

When the three people looked at each other, wasn't this Yang Shucheng?

The three people shouted hurriedly: "We are coming." They rushed in with more than a dozen brothers.

The bandit saw that the packages of these five people were heavy and big, and contained a lot of treasures. As soon as he was successful, more than ten people came from nowhere to rob his business.

A bandit shouted: "Do you want to follow the rules or not? There must be a first-come, first-served basis."

"Killing you is the rule."

Waving his sword, he came to kill him.

It seems that they are going to take advantage of others. This group of bandits had no choice but to turn their swords and head towards the "Taihang Three Heroes" to kill them.

People on both sides were killed in one place, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and screams filling the sky. After a few rounds, although the Dabie Mountain bandits were numerous, they were no match for the Taihang Mountain people, and they were defeated one after another.

Yang Shucheng and the other five men came around and surrounded the bandits together with the "Taihang Three Heroes" brothers. The situation has reversed. This group of bandits will definitely not be able to get the treasure they want, and they may even die in the barren mountains.

In the blink of an eye, several bandits were killed.

Niu Shiming wanted to gain a foothold in the Dabie Mountains and recruit troops to expand his strength. Therefore, he stood on a huge rock and shouted loudly:

"Surrender quickly."

This group of bandits couldn't be beaten, and it was impossible to escape. When they heard that they could surrender, they all put down their knives and put them on the ground with a bang.

The "Three Heroes of Taihang" had been in the army, and they also learned to do ideological and political work. They stood on the high ground and said: "We are all brothers who have suffered and became bandits as a last resort. As long as you surrender to us, we promise I won’t kill you.”

After hearing this, the bandits felt that what they said made sense and kept nodding.

Wang Hu was not one of the bandits. When he saw that the bandits were about to surrender, he took the meteor hammer and ran away.

When Wang Bao, a fierce man, saw someone trying to escape, he had to kill one of them and show it to the other bandits. Wang Bao ran over with a butcher's knife.

This is the first time two of the "Three Fierce" meet.

One used a butcher's knife and the other used a meteor hammer to hit one spot head-on. Both of them were very brave, and they only made a lot of noise, and they fought for more than ten rounds in a short time.

Wang Hu jumped aside and shouted: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count."

Wang Bao was also honest, so he stopped and asked, "Why doesn't it count?"

Wang Hu said: "There are many of you, but I am alone. How can I defeat you?"

Wang Bao was right when he thought about it. The momentum alone scared him, so he said, "What do you think we should do?"

Wang Hu said: "If you let me go, I'll fight you again in a few days, but I'm afraid you won't dare to let me go."

Wang Baodao: "Why don't I dare? Just wait, I'll go back and tell my two brothers."

Wang Bao turned around and left. Wang Hu saw him go away, turned around and ran away.

Wang Bao turned around and saw him running away, and immediately chased him. The two of them ran one after another along the ridge and disappeared.

The men and horses on the three sides merged into one place, and Hu Liangjian said: "We are together, the men and horses have grown stronger, but we need to find a good place to stay. Are you from here? Is there a place with high mountains and dangerous roads that is easy to defend and difficult to attack?"

The person over there waved his hand and said, "No."

Niu Shiming said: "You have all surrendered. You are not honest. Which cottage are you from? Let's go to your cottage to see."

"We'll just stay in the ruined temple."

Niu Shiming said: "Nonsense, you people will stay in a ruined temple? If you don't tell the truth, we will have another fight."

Hu Liangjian looked like he wanted to say no, so he softened his tone and said: "Together, we want to occupy the mountain and be the king, do justice for heaven, treat each other with sincerity, share blessings and share misfortune, you can't lie to us."

The people over there saw that Yang Shucheng and the other five people were all on the side of the "Taihang Three Heroes". Their side seemed even more weak. If they took action, there would be no good results, so they bit their ears and talked with each other. .

Hu Liangjian asked: "How are you discussing? If you don't agree, you can only speak with a knife."

The people over there didn't dare to take action anymore. Their lives were still important, so they had no choice but to say: "We are in a hidden place..."

"That's right, where is it?" Hu Liangjian asked.

"It's hard to tell. Let's lead you there."

"Well, don't lie to us, otherwise we will also have tempers."

"I won't lie to you."

Thinking about it, they will not deceive others. Otherwise, who would take their own lives as a joke when the sword is talking?

This group of people led the "Taihang Three Heroes", Yang Shucheng and others forward.

At this time, Wang Bao ran over panting and said to everyone: "This black boy can run faster than a rabbit. Let's see if I don't kill him next time I meet him."

While walking, Yang Shucheng chatted with the "Taihang Three Heroes" and talked about some things after their farewell.

We walked on the mountain road for most of the day. In the evening, we set up camp at the foot of a hillside and found a comfortable place to sleep.

Although it was early summer, it was still very cold at night in the deep mountains. Many people got into caves and spread some hay to sleep.

In the second half of the night, the group of bandits got up secretly, greeted each other with gestures, and quietly ran away while they were sleeping soundly.

As I was walking down the hillside quietly, I saw a person standing in the distance.

The distance is far away and the night is filled with fog. Who do these bandits know? But there was no other way to go, so I had to go up.

This person is Li Xing.

He held the sword and looked at the visitor coldly.

Seeing that he saw through it, the bandits whispered: "Get out of the way, or we will kill you."

They saw that Li Xing was alone and it was not easy for more than twenty people to kill him alone. What was the difference between killing an ant?

The bandits looked at each other, remained silent, and then slashed at Li Xing with their swords.

But suddenly I heard the sound of a flute. There was not even a bird or animal in this barren mountain. Where did the sound of the flute come from?

He was looking around hesitantly, but not far ahead, under the moonlight, beside a tree, a man stood tall, holding a jade flute in his hand, playing leisurely.
