Chapter 6: Trapped in the Thief Camp

Yang Shucheng was protecting his aunt and sister Yang Yan. As soon as he came down from the mountain and reached a mountain col, he ran into a group of bandits, about four or five in number.

Yang Shucheng had just learned the sword technique of immortality. How could he dare to fight against this group of thieves? He quickly turned around and fled towards the mountain with his aunt and sister.

When the gang of thieves saw the three men carrying a large package, which must have contained a lot of gold and silver, they shouted and chased after them from behind. Yang Shucheng and the others were panicked and their legs were weak. Wherever they could run, they were quickly overtaken by the bandits.

Yang Shucheng lived up to his uncle's trust and risked his life. He urged his aunt and his sister to escape quickly. He blocked the intersection with his sword. The gang of thieves rushed up and killed Yang Shucheng.

Although Yang Shucheng had obtained an excellent sword manual, he had only a limited amount of sword practice and had no actual combat experience. How could he withstand the fierce sword slashes of this group of thieves? He was quickly struck several times on his body.

Yang Shucheng saw his aunt and uncle fleeing behind the mountain, so he had no choice but to fight and retreat. The gang of thieves were determined to win. Seeing that Yang Shucheng was alone and easy to bully, they thought they were easy to catch, so they chased after him leisurely.

Yang Shucheng fled to the back of the mountain. When he saw his aunt and sister, they had not fled far, and he couldn't help shouting:

"Bitter!"

It turned out that on the opposite mountain, another group of bandits rushed down the mountain, attacking from both sides. Even if Yang Shucheng had learned the swordsmanship of Heaven, he would still be killed in this valley.

Yang Shucheng ran closer and looked at it, and felt happy again. It turned out that one of the people coming was the savior Li Xing. Yang Shucheng shouted loudly:

"Help me..."

Li Xing also saw him over there and recognized his old friend. He quickly told his men to stop, and then the two sides met each other. A group of thieves rushed over here. They originally had something in their pocket, but they were taken by Li Xing and his gang. Dissatisfaction showed on their faces.

Li Xing was one of the leaders of this group of thieves. In order to appease different tribes, he asked his brothers to hand over all the stolen property to the other side. The other four or five thieves left cheering.

Li Xing said to Yang Shucheng: "You go south, our people are everywhere here."

Yang Shucheng was grateful to him for rescuing him several times, and without saying thank you for his kindness, he held his hand in front of him and headed south with his aunt and sister.

After walking for half a day, it was already dusk and we had not yet left the Taihang Mountains. There were gloomy trees everywhere, dangerous rocks stood upright, and the roads were difficult to navigate. Yang Shucheng had no choice but to support his aunt and walk southward step by step.

Suddenly, more than a dozen bandits ran out of the mountain col, and they immediately surrounded Yang Shucheng and the three of them. Yang Shucheng said:

"We are the children of King Li Xing, please let us go."

"We don't care about Li Xing."

Yang Shucheng said: "The parcels all belong to the heroes. The heroes held their hands high and let us pass."

The gang of thieves chuckled and said, "Bring it here."

Yang Shucheng hurriedly took off the packages from the three people's backs, handed them to the thieves, and said, "We can go."

"If you want to leave, take your life."

Yang Shucheng was on guard and ran away. The gang of thieves abandoned him and rushed towards his aunt and sister. They didn't want to kill these two people. They were reluctant to kill them and wanted to tie them up and take them back to their lair.

Yang Shucheng knew the intention and rushed forward with his wooden sword. But this gang of thieves was so large that they surrounded him and killed him. Soon, Yang Shucheng was slashed several times and his body was dripping with blood.

A good man never suffers immediate losses. Yang Shucheng, a scholar, could not be brave enough to risk his life. He took the wooden sword and ran away. He ran across two mountains and hid in the deep grass.

Several bandits chased after him, and after searching for a while, they gave up when they couldn't find him. They were happy to have two women and had good intentions, so they allowed the other party to escape.

At this time, the sky was dark, and Yang Shucheng was lying in the dense grass, watching the gang of thieves leave. He followed at a distance. This group of thieves would not have thought that Yang Shucheng would be so bold as to follow them, so they just walked back boldly.

A stray thief was so anxious that he ran into the dense grass, took off his positive energy pants, and squatted down.

Yang Shucheng was eager to save people, and with the experience of the past few days, his courage became stronger. He immediately made a decision, picked up a stone, quietly ran forward, and smashed it on the head. The thief didn't even make a sound, just lay down in the grass.

Regardless of his fear, Yang Shucheng stepped forward and took off his shirt, put it on himself, picked up the long knife on the ground, walked to the tree again, touched a handful of black mud and smeared it on his face. With the intention of saving people, he was no longer afraid and slowly followed the thieves.

After walking on a mountain road for a while, it was dark everywhere. Yang Shucheng became more courageous. He took a long knife and slowly approached the bandit.

Following this group of bandits on the mountain road, they walked for nearly an hour and came to a basin. They saw tents everywhere and people shouting and shouting.

Yang Shucheng followed from a distance, walked into the bandit camp, and watched as the bandits brought his aunt and sister into a large tent.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself that he set fire to the camp in the middle of the night and took advantage of the chaos to rescue his aunt and his family. There were more than a thousand thieves in this group of thieves, and they came back with gold and silver, as well as many women. From time to time, screams came out from the tent, which was unbearable to hear.

Yang Shucheng was walking in the camp, but no one recognized him, and he became more and more courageous. It was already midnight. The thieves were tired and sleeping in the tents. They were snoring everywhere. There were not many people in the camp anymore.

Yang Shucheng secretly put the firewood behind the tent and prepared to set it on fire.

"who is it?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a group of patrolling thieves ran over. The firewood in Yang Shucheng's hand couldn't help but fall to the ground. The gang of thieves knew that the spies were coming, and they rushed towards them with shouts. Yang Shucheng could not sit still and wait for death, so he ran away.

There are spies in the camp, so that's okay. A group of bandits from the camp rushed over with shouts. Yang Shucheng ran wildly, but the thieves were so large that they were surrounded like an iron barrel. No matter how Yang Shucheng collided, he couldn't get out.

The bandit shouted, stepped forward, pushed Yang Shucheng to the ground, tied him tightly, arrested him, and wanted to take him to the Chinese army's tent and hand him over to their king for interrogation.

At this point, Yang Shucheng believed that he was going to die, and there was no point in being afraid, so he had no choice but to let them escort him and walk towards the tent.

Halfway through, a group of people came over. The thieves recognized him and shouted:

"King Li, we caught a spy."

The person came closer and said, "What a spy? This person is my brother. Let him go quickly."

Yang Shucheng thought he was going to die, so he opened his eyes and felt happy in his heart.

The person coming is Li Xing.

Yang Shucheng came back bravely and said: "I am not a spy. I was caught by my brothers by mistake."

Li Xing said: "Let him go quickly. Brothers, thank you for your hard work. I also have some things in my tent. All the brothers come to the tent to have a look."

This group of thieves also bought Li Xing's account, let Yang Shucheng go, and followed Li Xing to the camp. Li Xing gave most of the property he received to them.

As soon as the group left, Yang Shucheng said to Li Xing in tears: "They captured my aunt and sister."

Li Xing thought to himself, now is the time to win people's hearts. To save people, we must save Che. I will save him again, and asked:

"Where is it, do you know?"

"I know."

"Take me there."

Yang Shucheng took Li Xing out of the tent and walked a stone's throw away to a tent. Li Xing looked at it and pushed the door open.

There was a group of more than a dozen people inside, surrounding Yang's aunt and sister, making mischief.

Li Xing bowed his hands to the bandits one by one and said, "Dear brothers, Li Xing is going to salute you all."

This group of thieves also knew that Li Xing was a guest of the throne and the most valued counselor of the king. Besides, he had extraordinary swordsmanship, so they did not dare to offend him, so they hurriedly stood up and refused to return the favor.

When Li Xing saw that they were still buying his own account, he said slowly: "It's like this. These two women are the children of this good brother of mine. He came to me crying, and I went to the king to explain, brothers, these two Thank you for your hard work. Each of you will be rewarded with twenty taels. Come to my camp to receive it."

Seeing that they had money, this group of thieves were willing to return the two women. Besides, they had to bring their king here, so they had to give him face. If the king loses his temper, he could find any excuse and his own life would not be saved.

A group of bandits released Yang Shucheng's aunt and sister and came to Li Xing's tent together. Li Xing took out the money and distributed it to them.

The gang of thieves just left. Li Xing arranged for Yang Shucheng's family to live in another tent.

After a while, Li Xing delivered the meal. After running around for a long time, Yang Shucheng and the other three finally had a bite of food. The three members of the family burst into tears of gratitude for Li Xing's repeated rescues.

On the second day, after breakfast, Li Xing explained that he would escort Yang Shucheng's family out of the mountain. Yang Shucheng naturally wanted it. This mountain was full of bandits. With his own ability, he would be killed sooner or later.

Sure enough, Li Xing took several brothers and escorted Yang Shucheng's family south.

They had just walked more than three miles away when they suddenly heard a shout and a group of officers and soldiers rushed out from the mountain opposite. They took arrows and shot them in this direction. They were outnumbered and retreated one after another.

Yang Shucheng saw the officers and soldiers as if he were seeing relatives, and was worried that Li Xing would be shot by the officers and soldiers for escorting him, so he said to Li Xing:

"With the officers and soldiers here, we parted ways."

Li Xing patted Yang Shucheng's shoulder solemnly and said, "How can those officers and soldiers listen to your explanation?"

Yang Shucheng was afraid of hurting Li Xing and insisted on leaving, so Li Xing had to say goodbye to him.

Yang Shucheng took his aunt and sister to meet the officers and soldiers, shouting loudly:

"We are the common people in Luoyang City."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of arrows coming from the opposite side. It turned out that these officers and soldiers didn't care whether he was a commoner or a bandit. They shot him first and then returned to the military camp to receive the reward.

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to escape back with his aunt and sister, and retreated towards the mountains with Li Xing.

Back at the bandit camp, the king knew that the officers and soldiers were coming, so he hurriedly fled with his men.

But there were officers and soldiers on all sides, covering the mountains and plains. This group of bandits could not escape, and they were soon surrounded.

This time, a total of two to three thousand officers and soldiers were dispatched to surround more than a thousand bandits in a narrow mountain col, preparing to kill them all.

Yang Shucheng was trapped in the den of thieves and could not escape. He was very anxious! When the time comes, the bandit camp is defeated and all the jade and stone are burned.
