Chapter 77 Even the House Was Raided
Seeing that the carriage was about to pass under them, the bandits in front of them immediately pulled up the trip rope to block the carriage. Then dozens of bandits began to rush down and surrounded the carriage from front to back.

"Stop!"

A tall and strong bandit was entrusted with an important task by Liu Bang. He immediately walked out with a proud look on his face and shouted loudly.

On a mountain road, several bandits surrounded three horse-drawn carriages, causing the horses pulling the carriages to become restless.

"My dear fellows, we are all small business owners. I hope you will show some mercy!"

Hearing the tall and strong bandit coming out and shouting loudly, the coachman of the first carriage immediately jumped down and bowed to the bandits.

The groom was a young man with a strong body, dark skin and bright eyes. He looked at everyone without showing any fear.

"Stop talking nonsense and leave your things here, or I'll leave your lives here."

This tall and strong bandit was allowed to come out for negotiation by Liu Bang. As he was shouted at, he felt more and more refreshed physically and mentally. It turned out that being the leader was such a pleasant thing.

"So, there's no room for negotiation? Come out, kill these bastards. They even dared to steal your Grandpa Peng's goods. I'll make you spit out the den of thieves you stole before."

Just when the tall and strong bandit was feeling excited and happy, he suddenly saw the young and strong coachman in front of him suddenly change his attitude, and with a clang, he pulled out a long knife with a cold glow from the bottom of the carriage.

As the groom drew his sword, several young men holding long swords came out from each carriage. In an instant, their number suddenly increased several times, reaching more than twenty people.

Seeing this scene, the dozen or so thieves who were originally surrounding the three carriages were dumbfounded.

"kill!"

"Kill these bastards!"

Immediately, more than 20 young and strong men rushed towards the bandits around them, shouting and shaking the sky. With the clanging sound of metal collision, screams and wails were soon heard.

These young and strong men who rushed out of the carriage intimidated the momentum of a dozen bandits, and then they surrounded and attacked them together. These bandits were killed immediately and retreated in defeat.

"When you report to the Lord of Mount Tai, remember to report my name, Peng Yue. Kill!"

The leader of the crowd was the young and strong man who had just talked to the bandit. He swung his long sword, and a cold light flashed. The tall and strong bandit who had just negotiated with him screamed in horror and fell to the ground. His belly was cut open, blood gushed out, and colorful intestines fell to the ground.

At this time, Buddhism had not yet spread to the Central Plains, so it was generally believed that after death, the soul returned to Mount Tai. It is said that Mount Tai governs ghosts but not living people.

The one who is in charge of the dead souls of the world and governs the underworld is the Lord of Mount Tai.

That’s why Peng Yue said this!
Peng Yue was a native of Changyi, Dang Commandery. He worked part-time as a fisherman in Juye Lake, and his main occupation was robbery.

If we follow the original historical process, after Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang and others started the uprising, Peng Yue, under the instigation of everyone, also raised the flag of rebellion.

Moreover, before he raised the flag of rebellion, he made a rule that no one should be late when gathering the next day, otherwise they would be beheaded. Later, many people were late, and everyone advised him not to pursue it this time. However, he chose the last latecomer and beheaded him as a sacrifice, which immediately established his prestige.

After that, he became one of the heroes who rose up in the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. He was known as one of the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty together with Han Xin and Ying Bu.

However, his end was also miserable because he was suspected of rebellion and his three clans were exterminated.

This king, who was originally a famous general in the early Han Dynasty and a subordinate of Liu Bang, was chasing Liu Bang and his men and hacking them. Soon, the bandits fell in a pool of blood.

"I knew something was wrong with them. How come there weren't even any guards on the three carriages..." At this time, Liu Bang pulled Zhao Gao and ran away.

When Liu Bang saw the three carriages just now, he felt something was wrong, but seeing that no one wanted to miss out on this fat sheep, Liu Bang followed suit. However, to prevent any accidents, he hid behind and asked a tall and strong bandit to go out to negotiate.

Then they saw the other party's true colors revealed, and it was obvious that they were coming for the group of bandits who were blocking the road.

And judging from what the leader said, I'm afraid it has something to do with the property that was robbed some time ago.

While thinking about it, Liu Bang really remembered that more than half a month ago, when a caravan was hijacked, people were still shouting something like "we are all in the same boat, show mercy", "we are all heroes of Juye" and so on.

The man who shouted was slashed by one of Liu Bang's men. The main reason was that these bandits thought that Juye was in Dang County, and this was Sishui County, so your title of fellow traveler was useless.

But who would have thought that the other party would come directly from across the county to find us.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Bang and Zhao Gao fled the fastest. The forest here was dense, and there were weeds as tall as a person everywhere. It was obviously impossible for Peng Yue and his men to catch them.

After walking several miles away from the blockade, Liu Bang and Zhao Gao finally stopped.

Looking back, there was no one around and it seemed that he didn't know how many of his men could have escaped.

"It's really not easy to be a bandit!"

Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh.

I thought I could live happily for a while, but I didn't expect to suffer heavy losses this time. Being a robber is really a high-risk industry.

"What a pity, what a pity that the Moon Worship Method has not made much progress. I heard that a woman succeeded in practicing it and was even admitted to the Hidden Immortal Peak. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Lao Zhao, that you and I are not even as good as a woman."

Liu Bang patted Zhao Gao on the shoulder with emotion.

"I'm afraid this business can't continue..."

Zhao Gao had long been accustomed to Liu Bang's constant boasting, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but speak out.

During this period of time, the two of them were indeed practicing the Moon Worship Method diligently, but they gained nothing, which made their previous efforts in vain.

After hearing what Zhao Gao said, Liu Bang felt that it made sense. After thinking about it, the two of them immediately rushed back to the thieves' den, ready to pack up their things and escape.

But just as they approached the thieves' den, they discovered that there were raging flames and green smoke rising from the direction of the thieves' den. The group of people just now were constantly carrying the supplies of the thieves' den away. In front of the thieves' den, there were two thieves lying on the ground covered in blood.

At this moment, Liu Bang felt dizzy and took a detour back, but even his house was raided.

This location was obviously revealed through coercion by this group of people. The two leading thieves were hacked to death in front of their den.

Liu Bang beat his feet and stamped his chest, he was so angry that he was half dead, but he could only watch Peng Yue and others leave. Now not only was he left alone, but his money and valuables were taken away and his house was burned down. He really was back to the state when he was on the run.

Just when Liu Bang was so angry that he was about to vomit blood and was considering his future.

At this time, on the other side, Ye Yu, who was practicing outside, finally returned to the Hidden Immortal Peak after two or three days.
