Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 60: Bandit Group
The two brown-clothed men stopped hearing Zhang Yu's words. They turn around while trying to hide the nervousness.
"A-what's up? Are those three rings still lacking? We've got nothing to give."
Wu Zetian, Tang Yue and He Jiao had no idea what Zhang Yu was going to do. The three were silent only when Zhang Yu suddenly walked towards the two men dressed in brown clothes and caught them.
"Bad! What the fuck are you?!" The short man roared furiously as Zhang Yu curled his hands behind his back.
"The red heart emblem on the clothes already explains who you really are. You are members of the red heart bandits. Don't you?"
Only at this moment did Wu Zetian and the other two girls realize what Zhang Yu had said. The collar of these two people has a red heart symbol. It is small, but it is enough to be seen with the eyes.
The short man was silent for a moment after his identity was known. A moment later he looked back with a stern look. "Good job! You know who we are and still don't let go? You should know, anyone looking for trouble with the Red Heart Bandits won't end well."
Plaque!
Just as the short man finished his speech, a single slap shot across his face.
"Fuck up! We came to look for you. And you came to show yourself? This is what's called going into the mouth of a lion!" wu Zetian's Dengus. He stroked his hands in satisfaction after giving a slap.
The short man's facial sharpness instantly changed. Thinking of showing the identities of these four people would be frightened and release them, but ....
"Brother, why did you choose to be hostile with us? What if I give all my property to you?"
"Who do you call brother? We're not your brothers!" reply Wu Zetian fierce.
Short guy goosebumps gets snapped. He looked at the hand that was already preparing to slap, his body trembling remembering the slap a moment ago that was still very much felt. He apologized with fear.
"What do you plan for them?" ask Tang Yue.
"We better get out of here first," Zhang Yu said then carried the two red hearted bandit members away.
Curious diners want to see what really happened. But while watching outside, this chaos had ended.
...
Midnight in the pine forest.
"Zhang Yu, are you sure this will work?"
"I'm not sure either. Are they really going to be fooled by our plan?"
While the two people behind continued to ask, Zhang Yu was only focused on controlling the horse pulling the carriage.
Because there is news that says bandit attacks often occur in the pine forest area, so this time they use an undercover plan by pretending to be a merchant.
One main train was at the front and one freight train was carrying a large black crate right behind. Zhang Yu became a coachman, the other three were inside the carriage.
"We go deeper, you better get ready."
Hearing this Wu Zetian, Tang Yue and He Jiao were completely prepared. No longer talk much and focus on checking every inch of the surrounding area.
Sun sat on the rooftop of the train, occasionally standing up as if he were monitoring.
One movement was detected from the right. The bushes swayed but Zhang Yu remained calm and only warned the other three comrades.
Time goes on, and so does the horse-drawn carriage. The further they entered the pine forest area, the more uncontrollable the stalker movement. The former were very careful, now having no doubt even if their existence was known.
Zhang Yu revealed a faint smile. He began to pull the reins of the horse then gradually stopped the carriage.
This awkward action made the stalker feel astonished. But they stay close.
"Quickly see why the train suddenly stopped," a head-bound man ordered.
Ten people gathered at the back then walked forward to find out the reason this carriage suddenly stopped.
When they looked ahead, they were surprised to not find the horseman in his place.
"Sister Li, the chariot driver's missing!"
The head-bound man frowned hearing the information from the people who were checking.
"missing? How could it be lost?" While talking, the man named Li Dan checked into the carriage. Surprisingly, the car was empty too.
Eleven people looked at each other and looked confused.
"Sister Li, is it possible that they realized our existence and ran away to save themselves?" said one of them.
"That's possible. They are scared and no longer care about their luggage" said another.
Li Dan still looked doubtful. He went back to check by getting inside the main train making sure there were no secret rooms or other hiding places.
After completely confirming it he got out then walked towards the connected freight train at the back.
"One horse can pull two carriages? It's a little suspicious." Li Dan frowned. Usually one horse for one carriage. There was indeed a certain strong sense of horse pulling the two carriages, but seeing how the previous carriage was running fast enough made him wonder what kind of item was inside when this huge black.
"Hurry and open the box!"
"Sister Li, we better take it back to headquarters and open the coffin there. I'm afraid there will be help or traps set up for us."
This sentence made Li Dan speechless. A few seconds later he nodded his head. "Okay, we're back at base!"
The group of bandits finally took away the horse carriage to their headquarters. A cave in the middle of a pine forest.
It doesn't take too much time to arrive. The horse-drawn carriage was parked right in front of the mouth of the cave and.
"Sister Li, do we need to call the chairman and the other children?" ask one of them to Li Dan.
Li Dan looked at the mouth of the cave, there would usually be some people standing guard but now empty leaping. "We open it first. After knowing the contents just report to the chairman."
Good good!
They flocked to swarm the chests with their faces beaming at the benefits to be gained.
"I'm sure this is something precious!"
"Maybe this is gold or a resource."
They continued to assume as the hand tried to smash the padlock. When there was no more barrier they immediately opened the black chest with vigor.
But what is in them is far from what they imagine.
"It-it ...."
All dumbfounded. Unable to speak, even the breath held for a few seconds.
"Sister Li, ...."
Li Dan can also see what it contains. Not gold or other valuable things. This black chest contained two humans. Even more astonishing they were wearing red heart bandit clothes.
"Sister Li, it looks like the two of them are still alive."
Li Dan frowned, he immediately ordered the ten people to take out their two friends and untied them.
But when they just put their hands into the coffin, four attacks came from the darkness and immediately threw them out.
Ten people toppled over from the top of the carriage, Li Dan bent his face and stared at the source of the attack.
"Bad! Get out if you dare!" Li Dan was sure that the one who attacked them was the owner of the horse carriage.
They did this series of ways even carrying two red hearted bandit members in a crate. Obviously all of this was planned despite not knowing exactly why they were doing all of this.
Four people came out of the darkness to answer Li Dan's challenge. Zhang Yu, Wu Zetian, Tang Yue and He Jiao. The four of them stood up with auras emanating out from each other's bodies.
Li Dan's facial sharpness grew more serious. "So you did it? You guys caught two red hearted bandits and tied them up in a chest?"
"Yes, it's us!"
Li Dan was pensive for a moment, his tail glancing at his ten comrades who had just risen up. "You are so brave! But not a good option to deal with red heart bandits!"
Zhang Yu snorted coldly.
"Good or not it's none of your business."
