Li Xiaohu nodded in agreement.
According to his memory, there was nothing left to explore in Ping Mountain.
Partridge Whistle naturally had no objections.
Only Luo Laowai stared longingly at the entrance to the tomb passage above his head, reluctant to leave.
Chen Yulou said irritably, "Just come back in a few days. Are you worried it will run away?"
"Sigh." Old Luo sighed and retorted, "It's not that I'm afraid he'll run away, it's just that I can only look at him but not touch him, and it's so tempting!"
However, Chen Yulou had already made up his mind, so he could only obediently do as he was told.
The bandit gang of Xieling made some adjustments.
Some people were left behind to clean up the battlefield.
The rest of the people followed Chen Yulou back along the same passageway in the underground palace.
along the way.
Li Xiaohu could see the people from the Unloading Ridge faction and Luo Laowai's men looting treasures.
Anything valuable, even a speck of gold paint, must be scraped off and taken away!
The group of thieves had a well-organized division of labor.
Some people collected the treasure, while others transported it out of Ping Mountain by handcart. After reaching the foot of Ping Mountain, they transported it to the other side by raft, then loaded it onto oxcarts, and waited for the ambulance to transport it all back to Chenjiazhuang.
By the time Chen Yulou and Li Xiaohu had completely withdrawn from Ping Mountain, it was already completely dark.
Chen Yulou and others had almost finished transporting the first batch of treasures. They left some people behind to guard the place, and then led the others to prepare to transport the first batch of treasures back to the collection hall.
"Brothers! Let's turn back!"
With Chen Yulou's command.
"Swing it!"
"Swing it!"
The entire bandit gang of the Unloading Ridge responded!
They excitedly pushed the oxcarts laden with treasures, or carried backpacks full of riches, and marched in a grand procession on their way back.
Chen Yulou and Li Xiaohu walked at the front of the group.
Perhaps it was the overwhelming feeling after such a great victory that the group showed no signs of fatigue on their faces, but rather looked excited!
They chatted and laughed the whole way.
Luo Laowai was carrying a pile of treasure on his back, with a bunch in each of his hands, which he was fondling and playing with.
He chuckled and said, "After I, Lao Luo, go back..."
"The first thing I did was marry my eighth concubine!"
"Then get two thousand British-made rifles, one for each person! And add a battalion of German-made ones!"
however.
Before Luo Laowai could continue his musings...
An untimely voice suddenly came from ahead:
"Luo Laowai".
"I'm afraid you'll have to go to the underworld to marry your eighth concubine."

Luo Laowai looked up ahead in surprise.
Surprisingly, I discovered that...
Several rows of armed soldiers stood in neat rows in front of them, raising their rifles and aiming them at them!
The leader, wearing a general's hat and a cloak, rode a magnificent horse, looking quite imposing.
Luo Laowai recognized the person at a glance, and his smile vanished instantly, replaced by a vicious expression.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, word by word:
"Ma! Zhen! Bang!"
"I'll fuck your grandma!"
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out!
Luo Laowai was hit directly and instantly fell to the ground.
Ma Zhenbang was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. When he heard Luo Laowai cursing, his men immediately opened fire.
"Luo Shuai!"
The people behind him quickly stepped forward to check on his injuries.
"Damn it..." Luo Laowai rubbed his shoulder in pain and gritted his teeth as he said, "I'm fine!"
Seeing this, Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ma Zhenbang in front of him and questioned, "Ma Zhenbang, what exactly do you want to do?"
He also knew Ma Zhenbang.
The warlords in southern Yunnan were able to develop their power thanks to his financial support in their early years.
But Ma Zhenbang is an ingrate.
After they developed, they turned their backs on everyone, not only severing ties with Changsheng Mountain, but also defecting to the Nationalist army, and repeatedly attacking Changsheng Mountain under the pretext of suppressing bandits.
The two had a deep-seated grudge.
Ma Zhenbang dismounted from his horse and said with a smile, "What do I want to do?"
"I deliberately waited until this moment to make my move. Surely Chief Chen isn't so clueless?"
"You!" Chen Yulou's heart sank instantly.
I had a rough idea of what was going on.
It's likely that news of their theft of Ping Mountain was leaked, reaching Ma Zhenbang, who was far away in Yunnan.
Then, with his men, he planned to use a "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" tactic.
If it were in the past.
Chen Yulou didn't take Ma Zhenbang seriously at all.
But now most of his men are left in Ping Mountain, and he only has a little over a hundred people with him. They don't even have many weapons; they are all carrying gold and silver treasures.
This battle is likely to end badly!
Ma Zhenbang grinned from ear to ear as he looked at the treasures carried by the more than one hundred people behind Chen Yulou.
He said sarcastically, "I really have to thank Chief Chen a lot."
"They delivered these treasures to my door from so far away."
"Ma Zhenbang!" Luo Laowai struggled to his feet and cursed, "Don't push your luck!"
"Watch out, or I'll lead my men to Yunnan and wipe out your Yunnan Army!"
Ma Zhenbang burst into laughter and said sarcastically, "Let's talk about it after you survive."
With that, he waved his hand and ordered, "Set up your guns!"
Behind him, hundreds of soldiers split into four columns and stepped forward with their guns at the ready!
Even from the woods on both sides of Chen Yulou's group, many soldiers carrying guns emerged and aimed intently at them.
Look at this setup.
They have no way out!
but.
Ma Zhenbang hesitated to give the order to fire, instead searching for something in the crowd with his eyes.
soon.
His gaze locked onto Li Xiaohu and Yin Xinyue behind Chen Yulou, and he pointed at them, saying, "You two, come out here!"
"What do you want to do?" Yin Xinyue looked at the scene, completely bewildered.
Li Xiaohu had a rough idea of what was going on.
He glanced at Jin Yunu, who was hiding in the shadows, and whistled twice, signaling her to find a chance to escape and get help.
Jin Yunu understood and quietly disappeared into the shadows.
Ma Zhenbang took out a portrait and compared it to the two men, then asked, "Are you Li Xiaohu and Yin Xinyue?"
"So what if it is?" Yin Xinyue replied arrogantly.
