Chapter 159: The Bandits Robbery on the Road and Get Punished

"Does Eryao have a fat sheep in his trap?"

In the dense forest, a group of ferocious and vicious men, each holding a weapon, were lying in ambush. Suddenly, they saw a short and skinny monkey running back quickly. The leader had a scar on his face, full of flesh, and a grass root in his mouth. The man with tendon flesh all over his body suddenly brightened up his eyes, and immediately spat the grass root in his mouth and asked with narrowed eyes.

The man who came, the second in command as the fierce man called him, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Boss, there is a mule cart and a large horse on the road ahead. They are different from the refugees before. The second in command said that the wheels are very heavy, and they must be fat sheep."

"Hahaha, good! Second One, let me ask you, are the second and third brothers guarding well?"

The little henchman called Eryao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, boss. The second and third bosses sent me to inform you. He will definitely take his brothers to guard the pocket."

Scarface clapped his hands excitedly, "Alright! Wait till the fat sheep falls into the trap, listen to my command, and we brothers will take action."

A dozen people hiding in the shadows of trees and bushes responded in unison, "Don't worry, Boss."

With a sound of falling, the birds in the forest flew away in fright.

From a distance, Ji Mo, who had just ridden his horse into the dense forest, looked through the fence at the startled birds flying in the distance and frowned. He calmly slowed down his horse and gradually caught up with the mule cart behind him.

Cheng Su, who was whipping the horse, was puzzled when he saw this, "Mo Ge'er, what's wrong?"

Ji Mo noticed something was wrong, but he didn't want to scare anyone, so he raised his chin and said, "Uncle Cheng, look, the terrain here is good for an ambush, and the birds ahead are startled, I'm afraid there's something wrong."

Cheng Su's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and then he looked in the direction Ji Mo pointed. The terrain ahead was indeed as he said, with dense forests on one side and low cliffs on the other. Once they entered, if they were blocked from front and back, they would be like a turtle in a jar, with no way to move forward or backward. It was indeed a good place for an ambush, and Cheng Su couldn't help but get anxious.

"Then in your opinion, is there an ambush ahead? Hu Di or Japanese bandits?"

Ji Mo shook his head, "I don't know...but it looks like neither is true."

If they were the Hu, Di and Japanese bandits, there would be only them on the road and they would be easy to deal with. They would have come out to rob and kill people long ago, so why would they have to lie in ambush?

Hearing Ji Mo's denial, Cheng Su felt much more relieved. Li Yaoguang, who was standing next to him, had remembered the incident of scaring a bird before, and was still afraid. He couldn't help but suggest, "Brother, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If it really doesn't work, let's take a detour. Safety is the most important thing."

Ji Mo looked at the sky and shook his head. "There's no need to go around. This forest is vast. We don't know how far we'll have to go. Traveling at night is even more unsafe, and there's no guarantee that we'll be safe. We might as well take a chance. I'll lead the way, and everyone be cautious and listen to my signals. Let's try to get through this place quickly."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Li Yaoguang is not a boastful person. She knows her own abilities. Seeing that her brother-in-law was very confident, she did not say much. She nodded quickly and told her uncle not to panic and just drive. She then reached for the secret compartment in the shaft of the carriage where she was sitting, actually taking out a weapon from space and ready herself for battle.

Seeing this, Ji Mo nodded secretly, and at the end he did not forget to remind, "If the people who come here are not kind, and there are too many people, remember to use the soul-bewitching incense, and we will fight quickly and decisively."

"Okay, don't worry."

Li Yaoguang made an OK gesture to Ji Mo and nodded promptly.

Ji Mo saw Li Yaoguang's movements through the black veil of the curtain. Although he didn't know what it meant, he knew that the little girl understood his instructions. He reached for the various medicine bags in the long soft bag on his waist with one hand and shook the reins. The horse walked in front of the mule cart again. Only its tense body indicated their vigilance.

Seeing the carriages and people on the dirt road getting closer and closer, and seeing that the speed of the carriages and people on the road was not fast, the scarred leader frowned tightly. He knew that if he didn't take action, the fat sheep would pass through the land. There was no other way, the scarred leader waved his hand, and the trip rope buried in the middle of the road was suddenly pulled up, and more than a dozen brothers who were ambushing behind him rushed out with weapons raised, and lined up to block the road.

Ji Mo and the others were well prepared and stopped steadily when they were still half an arm's length away from the trip wire, without the horses' front hooves even stepping on it. Although frightened, the restless horses immediately calmed down as Ji Mo reached out and stroked their manes. Then the scarred man jumped out to occupy the C position, fiercely shouldered the broadsword used for cutting grass, and spoke shamelessly.

"I built this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage!"

Oh, this line sounds so familiar, it turns out to be a bandit! In troubled times, all kinds of monsters and demons come.

She had fought against Hu Di and strangled Japanese bandits, and she was not afraid of killing people. Li Yaoguang was not afraid of just a few bandits, who were less than twenty in number. Instead, her eyes were filled with excitement.

Ji Mo, who was on horseback in front of him, was in the same situation. Seeing that there was a mob in front of him, his hands that were reaching for the various medicine bags loosened. He sneered, folded his hands nonchalantly on the saddle, leaned forward, and asked with a smile, "What if we don't keep them?"

Scarface sneered fiercely: "Don't keep it? That's not up to you."

Ji Mo raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Really?"

Scarface said smugly, "Of course!"

When the boss was full of confidence, the second one who was reporting the news saw this scene. He was timid by nature and felt uneasy. He hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "Boss, this fat sheep is not right!"

Normally, even if they were wealthy people with thugs around them, or even if they were escort agencies and businesses that knew how to fight, when they saw them blocking the road and robbing, who wouldn't be timid and frightened, and let them do whatever they wanted?
Even if they were not scared, the escort agency would be polite and courteous when they saw them, and they would discuss things in a good tone. How could they be like this? Not only were they not afraid, but they were also... "Boss, this fat sheep looks wrong, and you have to be careful!"

"Humph!" Scarface didn't care. He snorted coldly, pushed Eryao away, and cursed angrily: "Coward, what are you afraid of!"

Then he hooked up the index finger of his right hand and put it into his mouth. A bright whistle sounded throughout the forest. Behind the dense forest, on the hillside behind the forest that Li Yaoguang and his companions had just passed, a dozen bandits dressed in the same manner immediately rushed out and blocked Li Yaoguang and his companions' retreat.

Oh, no wonder you are so confident, it turns out you have a backup plan.

But that's it?
Ji Mo just glanced back calmly without even lifting his eyelids.

Scarface became even angrier when he saw Fat Sheep's nonchalant attitude.

I think he is a well-known figure who can stop children from crying at night. If it weren't for the chaotic times and the difficulty of making a living, he wouldn't have led his brothers to rob such a small dish.

What happened is that this little guy still looks down on me. What? Doesn’t he know how powerful I, the Black Mountain Eagle, am?

"Okay, okay, since you don't know the situation and refuse to accept my toast, brothers, grab your weapons."

In an instant, a dozen people behind Scarface rushed forward with weapons in their hands.

Ji Mo laughed, without even turning his head, and spoke in a clear voice to Li Yaoguang, "Yaoguang, keep an eye on the car, pay attention to the back, and protect yourself."

With a single step, the person flew out.
