Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 292: Baibo Bandits
These two people were none other than the two passers-by who had pretended to be robbed by bandits and escaped!

One of them grinned.

"That's right. We are not that loser Zhang Yan, nor are we some black mountain bandits. We have more than 100,000 people, but we were frightened out of our wits by a name. This is a disgrace to our Taiping Dao!"

"We are the Baibo Army. We have just arrived at Taihang Mountain. We didn't expect to encounter such a big deal. God is really helping us!"

When Yang Luo heard that they were not Zhang Yan's men, his heart suddenly tightened.

"Everyone, these war horses were bought by many nobles in Yingchuan County. They are all nobles in the court. Can you give me some..."

"Ugh!" Before he could finish his words, one of the two people in front of him became impatient.

"What noble family? If it weren't for them, how could we ordinary people be in this situation? No need to waste time, we want these war horses. Brothers, go!"

The bandits on both sides immediately rushed down the mountain, roaring.

Although Yang Luo was a little surprised, he was not panicked at all. His right hand had already secretly pressed the hilt of the sword, and he pulled out the sword in an instant.

"Protect the warhorse to the death!"

His martial arts were obviously much better than those followers behind him. With his long sword flying, he took the lives of several bandits who rushed over in a blink of an eye.

Yang Luo didn't say anything, but the followers around him seemed to see hope and looked a little happy.

"Haha, these bandits only have a few thousand people. Although we have a thousand people, they are all elite guards of Yuan Mansion and Chen Mansion. As long as they don't have any powerful generals, we may have a chance to win!"

Just as he finished speaking, a loud voice came over.

"Don't be so crazy, Xu is here!"

From the side of the mountain road, a man and a horse appeared in everyone's sight.

A distance of dozens of steps was just a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

Yang Luo saw that under the dancing flames, the dancer was wielding a huge battle axe and smashing towards him fiercely.

Yang Luo's face suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his long sword to chop back.

Sparks flew everywhere and Yang Luo was knocked back several steps.

He glared at the subordinate who had just spoken.

The subordinate looked miserable: "Why do my words come true? It can't be so effective..."

Yang Luo didn't have the time to argue with him now, as the axe warrior had already caught up to him.

The axe was extremely powerful, and the opponent was a cavalryman, in a dominant position. The force of the axe was so great that it was impossible to resist.

Yang Luo was proud of himself and had met many military masters and wandering knights in the past ten years or so since he joined the Chen family of Yingchuan. However, he had rarely encountered such an embarrassing situation.

The more he fought, the more frightened he became, and suddenly a scream came from behind him. The voice was so familiar that he instinctively looked back.

"Little Eight!"

I saw an attendant's long sword against a bandit's chest, and the bandit's big knife hit his neck.

However, the broadsword chopped off his head easily, while the long sword only cut open the bandit's outer clothes and could no longer penetrate further.

In the light of the fire, there was a faint reflection on the bandit's chest.

"Armor! You are wearing armor and a breastplate underneath. You are not bandits!"

"You guessed it right, but it's too late!"

The general with the axe chopped at him again.

Yang Luo was extremely confused at this time. He was no match for his opponent in the first place, and now he was defeated again and again.

Behind him, his more than a thousand followers were screaming incessantly, which was constantly attacking his nerves.

"Who are you and why are you going against us? Do you know who you have offended?" He shouted hoarsely while trying to defend himself in a hurry.

"Humph, that's why I'm waiting here specially because I know that!"

After hearing this, a possibility suddenly flashed through Yang Luo's mind.

He recalled the two people he met at the entrance of the valley. They obviously knew that he would appear here with a large number of war horses, so they set up the trap early and waited for him to fall.

Looking at these so-called "bandits" in front of him whose fighting power was stronger than many government troops he had seen, especially the fact that they wore standard armor underneath their tattered clothes, all these things put together made him understand everything in an instant!
"You are Liu..."

However, his martial arts skills were not as good as that of the axe general. He was distracted at this moment, and his hands were exposed to many flaws. He had only said four words in a sentence when he was hit in the chest by an axe and flew far away.

"Liu... the bastard... went against the aristocratic... family, there will be no... good end..."

Yang Luo's head tilted and he died completely.

Although the more than one thousand people brought this time were carefully selected from various families, and their abilities and loyalty were first-class, it was impossible for all of them to be willing to die for their masters.

Seeing that many people including Yang Luo had died in the battle, many of the remaining hundreds of people dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

The rest of them who were still resisting stubbornly were soon killed by the knives of those "bandits".

A man ran to the general with the axe, clasped his fists and reported: "General Xu, the mission has been accomplished. The horses that fled because of the fighting and the torches have been intercepted by the soldiers who ambushed in advance. What should we do with these prisoners? Please tell me!"

The general looked at the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, frowned, then bent down and spoke softly.

"Tie them up and lock them up first. If they are willing to surrender and are reliable, then take them in. If they are unwilling to surrender or have bad character..."

He seemed a little hesitant, but soon became firm.

"We must not cause trouble to the lord's plan. Those who fail to do so will be killed. We must not leave any trouble for the future."

Then, he looked at the axe in his hand, and said with some joy: "The martial arts book that the lord sent someone to secretly deliver to me a few days ago is really amazing. It has such power in such a short time! Well, the lord has ordered that a group of troops will attack Yinguan City tonight. Brothers, don't rest, send troops immediately. The lord said that we only want to damage this group of enemy troops, not annihilate them. We must protect ourselves and set off!"

A large group of people ran out from the forest. They extinguished their torches and moved forward in the moonlight.

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on Yinguan City, and the people in the city began to get busy.

In the prefect's mansion, Qian Li, who was in charge of the government affairs of Yanmen, walked out of the room and stretched.

"My dear nephew Daozhun, you are up so early."

Qian Li looked over and saw that it was Zhang Ding, Su Shuang and Zhen Yi walking over. He hurried forward to greet them.

Su Shuang looked at his expression and said with a smile, "Seeing how energetic my dear nephew is, I guess you must have slept well last night, right?"

Qian Li heard his voice-over and said, "Of course. The lord is in control of the situation, so a few arsonists were no problem. They were all captured last night without a single one escaping. But I am wondering how the lord knew so early that they were going to set fire to Yinguan City again and burn grain. He even knew the time and method. The bandits who came to rob the city in the middle of the night had obviously just come after a hard battle, so they were easily wiped out by the defenders. Could it be that the lord has the ability to predict the future?"

Su Shuang said, "Haha, Lord Liu is such a person, this is just a small matter, it doesn't matter. You have followed the lord for many years, this kind of foresight is not the first time you have seen it, why are you surprised?"

Qian Li heard this and nodded: "Yeah, that's true."

But then, his expression became somewhat regretful.

"Unfortunately, these arrested arsonists have refused to reveal any information about the masterminds behind the fire, even after being tortured."

Zhen Yi said: "They are some tough guys, but it's a pity that they are being thrown into the dark. If they were under Lord Liu's command, they would have made great achievements and even gone down in history."

Compared to them, Zhang Ding seems more open-minded.

"Hey, no matter how capable a person is, if he chooses to bring disaster to the people, it is better for him to die sooner rather than later."

Just as they were talking, a messenger ran in.

"Report..."

Qian Li and others' eyes lit up and they ran out in a hurry.
