Chapter 31 Road Encounters
"Binzi, you said we have been walking for five days, why didn't a bandit block the road and robbery be encountered?" Li Hongyi, riding a war horse, asked Li Bin, who was lying on the carriage board.
At this time, Li Bin was only wearing a piece of leather armor, with his hands behind his head, and laying on the board of a flatbed carriage, crossing his legs, looking lazy.
Beside Li Bin, some armor, shields and weapons were piled up, including Li Bin's pair of 396 kilograms of iron rods, the black iron rod weighing 388 kilograms, and 150 kilograms of infantry heavy armor. Dian Wei acted as the coachman of the flatbed carriage.
After leaving the county town of Leishan County, Li Bin and others walked northward. Now, five days have passed, and have already left the territory of Leishan County and entered Zhangning County in Pu'an County.
Zhangning County is located in the north of Pu'an County. After passing through Zhangning County, the convoy will enter Huangping County, Wu County, Qizhou Prefecture Town.
Xuanzhou Prefecture has a total of eight counties, each county has several counties. For example, Pu'an County has seven counties: Yongfu, Qiuping, Leshun, Leishan, Zhangning, Baishi and Qishui.
Although Li Bin and his group had seven war horses, only Yang Hong, Li Meng and Li Hongyi rode the war horses all the way. Li Bin and Sun Xiong kept sitting in the carriage, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu drove two flatbed carriages.
The four war horses seized from the bandits in Jiguanling and the two war horses obtained from the Li Mansion belong to the same type of grassland horse, with a weight of only about 300 kilograms.
Li Bin's weight exceeded 350 kilograms, and Sun Xiong's weight reached 400 kilograms. This grassland war horse could not carry them at all, so Li Bin and Sun Xiong had no choice but to take a carriage to rush.
Li Bin squinted his eyes and said, "Although we are only seven, look at the size of us, and there are three armored cavalrymen, and the carriages are filled with weapons and armor. How dare ordinary bandits make us think about it."
When Li Hongyi heard this, he sighed slightly and said, "I heard that thieves are everywhere. I thought I would have encountered several battles along the way. I don't know when my horse spear will be able to see blood. It would be better that a group of uneyed bandits will emerge now."
As soon as Li Hongyi finished speaking, a group of people suddenly appeared on the hillside in front, and then the group rushed towards Li Bin and the others.
While hurriedly wearing his infantry heavy armor, Li Bin said to Li Hongyi unhappily: "You crow's mouth, you are such a good and bad spirit. You really muttered all the bandits."
Li Hongyi, who was riding a war horse, not only did he not have a look of horror on his face, but he also said excitedly: "Great, bandits finally emerged, and he can finally fight with real swords and guns."
There were about twenty people suddenly appearing out of this group. Many of them were wearing tattered clothes and were not wearing armor. However, they were all armed with weapons, some with spears and some with big swords. It seemed that they were undoubtedly bandits.
When the bandits arrived sixty steps away from Li Bin and others, Li Bin, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Sun Xiong were already wearing heavy infantry armor and each held the weapons in his hands.
"I planted this road, I bloomed this tree... No, I planted this tree, I bloomed this road, I bloomed this road, I want to... I want to..." A tall and strong man, holding two giant axes, shouted to Li Bin and others with bumpy faces.
At this time, a thin bandit reminded him: "The boss, the next sentence is to think about passing this path and stay to buy wealth!"
"Yes! That's the saying. If you want to pass this road, stay and buy money! Everyone on the other side has heard it. You should keep your food and money, otherwise I will chop people up!"
This thin bandit, just now, found that Li Bin's group was not easy to mess with. When he came closer, he saw four people on the opposite side wearing heavy infantry armor, and three cavalrymen staring at him with bows and arrows. What's even more terrifying was that there was another man on the opposite side, who seemed to be taller and stronger than his boss, and he couldn't help but feel even more nervous.
Then the thin bandit swallowed his saliva and said to the burly and strong man: "Boss, this group of fat sheep seems a little thrust, otherwise let it go today."
The burly and strong man said in a muffled voice: "Second leader, didn't you say that there was no food in the copycat? If you don't rob them, what should we eat? I don't want to be hungry. You have promised me that as long as I become your boss, I will fill my stomach, but I haven't eaten for several days!"
The thin second bandit leader sighed helplessly, "The boss is right. If we can't grab food, we brothers will go hungry."
When Li Bin saw the bandit leading the way, he was stunned. The height and size of the bandit leader were actually comparable to Sun Xiong. You should know that Sun Xiong's height was 2.25 meters and his weight reached 400 kilograms.
Could it be that the Dayan Empire is rich in such small giants?
Otherwise, why did I meet two in just a short time?
The burly and strong man had a very loud voice. Although the two sides were still nearly 100 meters apart, Li Bin heard clearly what he said, which made Li Bin find that the burly and strong man had an IQ that seemed to be like Sun Xiong and was not online.
"Hey--the stupid guy on the opposite side, since you are not full, don't be a bandit, or you can come and be a soldier for me! Don't worry about your full meal every day!" Li Bin shouted loudly.
Hearing Li Bin's call, the thin second bandit leader suddenly lit up and began to persuade the burly and strong man, "Big boss, I think this is also a way out. Our counterfeit village really can't bear the appetite you have. I think the boss is better to surrender to the fat man opposite! He can eat so much, and he can definitely raise the boss!"
Li Bin never expected that the few words he shouted not only calmed the upcoming battle, but also made his hands add another big bucket of food that was no less than Sun Xiong.
The burly and powerful man is named Fang Hu. He is only nineteen years old this year and has a lower intelligence than ordinary people. He was adopted by an old Taoist priest since he was a child and has been living in the mountains with the old Taoist priest.
After the old Taoist priest died of illness, Fang Hu prepared to rush to the border of Qizhou Prefecture to join the army, otherwise Fang Hu's poor hunting skills and intelligence that were inferior to ordinary people would not be able to support himself in the mountains alone.
However, before Fang Hu could walk out of the mountains, he met two groups of bandits fighting in the middle of the way. A bandit leader saw Fang Hu who suddenly appeared and thought it was the other party's person, so he waved his sword and slashed at Fang Hu.
Fang Hu joined the battle between the two bandits in a daze.
Fang Hu, who was born with divine power, instantly killed dozens of bandits with a pair of giant axes in his hand. Even the leaders of the two bandits were killed by Fang Hu. The remaining people of the two bandits were immediately scared. Some of them fled in scattered, while some of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fang Hu for mercy.
Fang Hu did not chase and kill the fleeing bandits, and those bandits who knelt on the ground begging for mercy, Fang Hu not only did not kill them, but instead, under the persuasion of these bandits, he became the leader of the two remaining bandits in a daze.
These bandits originally thought that with Fang Hu, who is a martial arts expert, they would definitely be able to enjoy delicious food and drink spicy food in the future, but the reality is cruel.
Fang Hu was a bandit leader for a month and did not lead them to rob him of money or food. When he met women, children, scholars, and monks, Fang Hu refused to rob him.
Fang Hu is another big-bellied man, and his appetite is almost as good as seven or eight people. Before meeting Li Bin, Fang Hu and his bandits had almost reached the end of their lives.
