Chapter 960 The group arrives at the bandit's den
Chu Chen glanced at the road, a smile appearing on his lips, and then jumped off the carriage with Roland.
"Roland, let's follow them for a while. This mountain is not peaceful!"
"Heh, is there any place that's not peaceful in front of you?"
"Haha, I won't take action unless absolutely necessary. Some things are better left unattended so we can let them resolve them themselves."
After saying that, Chu Chen called over Chang Shou and Tang Dali and handed the carriage to them.
"Now it's up to you. Lift the cloth covering the silver, and this time I'll take a good look at whether you're worth taking back with me."
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely not let you down."
Chang Shou took the carriage and handed it to Tang Dali.
Then he turned and walked to a man: "Tell the brothers to get ready. All those with knives, go to the sides of the road and protect our brothers and sisters."
Today, An Lan was wearing a long cloak, and underneath the cloak was her stab-proof vest and a long sword that gleamed coldly.
Chu Chen led Roland directly to the back and came to Wang Baiwan's side.
"Old Wang, are you scared?"
"Young master is too kind. With you here, what do we have to fear?"
"Haha, that's good. When we get to Lingyang, you'll have to treat me to a drink."
Wang Baiwan smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that giving him all his wealth, let alone drinking, wouldn't be a problem.
Although he fled from the war, he had hidden most of his wealth in Lingyang City after years of doing business.
As long as he goes back, he will be able to make a comeback in less than six months.
"Young master, forget about drinking. Once you arrive in Lingyang, you will be the ancestor of my Wang family. My Wang family will definitely take good care of you. Just stay in my Wang family with peace of mind!"
Chu Chen didn't reply after hearing this, thinking to himself that once this matter was over, he wouldn't even know where he was.
As the group moved slowly forward, they soon entered the area between two mountains.
On the mountain, a group of people, holding various weapons, looked at the people below with suspicion, and all turned to look at the man in the middle.
"Boss, what's going on? They seem to be migrating back!"
"Damn it, you're asking me? How am I supposed to know? Find out their situation immediately: how many weapons they have, how much supplies they have... wait... is that a cartload of silver?"
Before he could finish speaking, the leader spotted the silver carriage in the middle of the group, protected by several men with knives.
Judging by the amount of silver on the cart, if they could seize it, they wouldn't need to be bandits anymore.
So he immediately changed his order: "Go back immediately, gather all the brothers, and seize it!"
"Boss, aren't we going to take another look? What if..."
"Whatever the worst that could happen, that much silver! Even if it's just a matter of chance, I have to get my hands on it!"
Upon hearing this, his men immediately ran towards the mountain stronghold.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a large group of people were brought out from the mountain stronghold.
For a moment, the people walking below could hear the sound of grass and trees being rustled on the mountain.
Chang Shou glanced up at the mountain, frowned, and said to the people around him, "Pass down the order: wait patiently for them to arrive, and strive to annihilate them all!"
After hearing this, those around him deliberately slowed down and then spread the news throughout the entire group.
Perhaps lured by the silver, the bandits moved swiftly and soon arrived at the two sides of the mountain.
Then he raised the knife and shouted loudly.
The fleeing crowd was thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the bandits.
Seeing the performance below, the bandits were very happy. They originally thought that the bandits were a group of people who could fight them head-on, but they did not expect that they were actually the refugees who had returned before.
With such a large cartload of silver, isn't he a god of wealth?
"Hahaha, my esteemed gods of wealth, thank you for bringing me this silver. Now, listen to my command: leave the silver, and leave your personal belongings and food behind, and you may leave!"
Chang Shou smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that this bandit leader wasn't very bright. So many people were openly carrying such a large cart of silver towards this place, couldn't he see that it was intentional?
"This... bandit leader, aren't you being a bit too confident!"
Chang Shou, not to be outdone, retorted to the person who had spoken.
"Hahaha, refugees are refugees. Could it be that Hyde City has also fallen into disaster, and you're in such a hurry to escape to Lingyang?"
"But a normal person shouldn't be able to do something like that."
The bandit leader looked at Chang Shou and said with a contemptuous expression.
Chang Shou's lips curled slightly: "Hehe, the silver is right here. If you're so capable, come down and take it. The knife in my hand is no joke!"
After saying that, Changshou drew his long knife and pointed it at the bandit leader.
As the largest bandit group of this generation, how could he tolerate such provocation? However, when he saw the knife in his hand, his eyes lit up.
Just then, Anlan, who was standing next to Changshou, stepped forward, drew a knife from under her cloak, and took off her cloak to reveal her black outfit.
This move completely stunned the bandit leader.
A woman, haha, a beautiful woman, and dressed in clothes that drive people wilder than those young wives in Lingyang City.
"Hahaha, you can go die now, but I'll take this girl next to you."
After saying that, he looked at the bandits around him: "Brothers, there are only a few dozen of them with weapons. Go for it! Kill the men, leave the women alone."
As soon as they finished speaking, the bandits sprang into action.
They rushed down the hillside towards the silver.
Chang Shou coldly watched them, estimating the distance.
Meanwhile, the three thousand trained men also reached their hands inside their clothes.
Chang Shou had given them orders to compress the time as much as possible, and to launch an attack only when they had all arrived on the road.
At this moment, they felt a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
After so much training, we are finally facing a real battle.
Anlan was also gripping the long knife tightly in her hand. Under Roland's guidance, she used strips of cloth to tie the knife to her hand.
This way, you can always keep the knife in your hand during battle.
Chu Chen and Roland watched the bandits charging down quietly, their faces calm and composed.
The small-scale incident involving a mere thousand or so bandits was not enough to shock the two of them.
Chang Shou calculated the time in his mind, just as the bandits had all come down the hillside and arrived on the road.
He shouted to the crowd, "Brothers, it's time to show your true skills! Grab your weapons and fight!"
