Chapter 120 IX Deceiving People Too Much

Wang Zhe looked helpless. Seeing Lu Yang's anger, he hurriedly explained: "Brother Lu, we don't want to rob, the key is that there is no way. While those bandits captured my cousin, they also took away many young women in the town. My daughter-in-law just refused to go with them, and was humiliated to death by those beasts, I..."

At the end, Wang Zhe bit his lower lip, the lower lip was bitten open, and a trace of blood flowed out. He didn't notice it, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Those people were taken away by them, and they left something behind. If we can’t get a thousand gold coins within ten days, not only will they die, but our entire town will be massacred, what can we do?”

Zhang Dadong sighed and said, "Brother Lu, where did we get so much money in such a short period of time? I know Wang Hao is in a bad mood, so I asked him to go out to rob him. No one came to the remote place in Jiaoyeling, and we never thought of getting money from robbery."

Lu Yang was also angry, a figure ### appeared in his mind, and hurriedly asked: "Where is Xiao Cui! He was also taken away."

"Sister Xiaocui was also taken away, I don't know if it's life or death now." Thinking of Li Xiaocui's experience, Wang Zhe sympathized, "Sister Xiaocui's family is worse than mine, the bandits not only took her away, but also Kill Uncle Li and Aunt Chen. Both of them were dismembered by five horses, and then the bones were fed to wild dogs..."

"What!" Lu Yang's eyes were red, and when he thought of what happened to these people, he released a powerful murderous aura, "Where is the king's law? Why didn't you report to the officials..."

Zhang Dadong patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, signaling him not to get too excited, and said: "It's useless, we went to report to the officials, but we didn't expect that the bandits had already colluded with the local officials. After the brother went there, he was killed alive." Beat them to death. Those of us have already thought about it, anyway, we will die, at worst, we will fight them tomorrow."

The killing intent in Lu Yang's eyes was even stronger. He didn't expect that the officials would collude with the bandits. Does this still allow ordinary people to survive?Even if the person arrested this time is not Wang Hao, Li Xiaocui and others, but a stranger he doesn't want to do, since Lu Yang has seen it, he still needs to take care of it, so he said: "Tomorrow is the deadline!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dadong didn't know what Lu Yang was going to do, but he still replied.

Lu Yang nodded, his deep eyes couldn't see the thoughts in his heart, he only heard him say in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, you and I will go up the mountain together to find them..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was startled, Wang Zhe hurriedly asked: "Lu Yang, are you crazy?"

"Am I crazy?" Lu Yang frowned, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Wang Zhe took a deep breath and said, "They only want money. If we don't anger them, they won't want my life. If we go up the mountain with you, we will anger them, and we will all die." , he paused, and continued: "Going up the mountain and fighting them is the last step. It's not a last resort. We'd better not go. Let's think of a way first!"

Lu Yang didn't think he could come up with any good solution. It was useless to reason with these bandits, so he said, "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Wang Zhe hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Say what you want, there are no outsiders here." Lu Yang saw Wang Zhe's thoughts and guessed what he wanted to do.

Wang Zhe didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "They only want money now, and you should have a lot of gold in your hands. As long as we give them the gold, they will let everyone go."

"What if they don't let go?" Lu Yang asked back.

Wang Zhe clenched his fist and said bitterly: "If they don't let go, we will fight them."

"Well, I'll give you the gold and see if they let you go." Lu Yang was not afraid of trouble, nor was he afraid of making enemies with the bandits, but he thought of a very important question, can these bandits really be killed?If you can't kill it, what should you do?After this, he will leave here. If he is not here, who will protect everyone's safety?

Those bandits have plenty of time, if they come to trouble Wang Zhe and others in the future, the consequences will be disastrous.

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Lu Yang agreed to Wang Zhe's method, took out some gold from Qiankunjie, handed it to everyone, and said: "Tomorrow morning, you give these gold to them. It would be best if they let people go. If you don't let me go, you have to be prepared to go up the mountain with me at any time."

Wang Zhe's eyes were full of gratitude, and he clasped his fists and said, "It's fine for us to go when the time comes, you still don't want to go."

"Why?" Lu Yang was puzzled, "I'm also from the town, why can't I go with you?"

Wang Zhe was silent for a while, and said: "Lu Yang, you don't know, the mountain king is extremely high, and it is said that he has reached the early stage of the mysterious stage. Those of us who went there can be said to have narrowly escaped death. You are different from us , you can practice in Minsheng Academy, if you die here, wouldn't it be... So, you must leave here first, if we die, you can help us avenge in the future."

"Early stage of Xuan rank?" Lu Yang really didn't pay attention to Xuan rank martial practitioners, and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. If I am really not their opponent, I can escape."

Lu Yang had reached this point, and everyone couldn't say anything, Wang Zhe said, "Brother Lu Yang, go to our side tonight! Let's discuss tomorrow's plan."

Lu Yang nodded, waved and said, "Let's go."

When they came to the town, everyone began to discuss plans for tomorrow, and they didn't go to sleep until late at night.

Lu Yang lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time, thinking about what might happen to Li Xiaocui after he was taken away, he felt a little uncomfortable.In the end, Lu Yang sighed and got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. What should have happened has already happened, and no matter how much he thinks now, he can't change the result.

After a night of nothing, the next morning, just as Lu Yang was about to wake up, Wang Zhe hurried in, "Brother Lu Yang, those people have already arrived..."

"Are you here?" Lu Yang frowned, and hurriedly asked, "How many people are here, and where are they?"

"There are more than 100 people here." Wang Zhe replied, "Those people are on the official road outside the town. Brother Zhang asked me to inform you that you don't want to go with us, just hide in the dark. If they keep their promises Alright, if you don't let people go, we will bring people to kill them, and you find a chance to leave..."

Lu Yang's face darkened, and he said with some displeasure, "You all forgot what I said last night, I must go with you."

"But..." Wang Zhe was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lu Yang, who waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, let's go outside the town first!"

Just like that, everyone carried a big wooden box and walked on the streets of the town.

Everyone in the town knew what day it was, and they all got up very early. They stood in front of their houses and watched them go out of the town.

These people are old people and women, their eyes are full of worry, but they are helpless.

After a while, everyone came to the outside of the town. On the official road ahead, more than 100 people appeared in sight. These people were all riding tall horses. They were not very old, most of them were in their thirties, and they carried a long knife behind their backs. .Knowing that some people's cultivation base is not low, all of them are above the Huang rank, and the middle-aged man in the lead has reached the state of Dzogchen in the late Huang rank.

Seeing everyone coming, the middle-aged man in the lead glanced at the large wooden box that was brought up, and said, "Have you got all the money?"

Lu Yang walked in front, stopped ten feet away from the other party, and said: "The money is ready, where are the people in the town? Why didn't they bring it?"

The middle-aged man is the second leader among the bandits, and he has a very famous name——Zhao Tufei.

This name is indeed very special, and he is a bandit. When they heard it suddenly, most people would mistake him for bandit Zhao.

Zhao Tufei sneered, and said angrily: "We don't even know if you can get together the money, why did you bring them? It's not convenient for so many people to walk, if you don't have enough money, wouldn't we make a trip every now and then? At this point, he changed the subject and said sharply, "Stop talking nonsense, and open the box."

Until now, Zhao Tufei didn't think that these people could raise so much money.

With a wave of Lu Yang's hand, the two came over and opened the box, only to hear a creak, the box opened, and the contents inside could be seen in full view.

The box exudes a dazzling golden light. If you look carefully, it is all fist-sized gold.

Although these bandits had robbed for many years, it was the first time they saw so much gold. For a while, everyone including Zhao Tufei gasped, their eyes were full of surprise.Can they not be surprised?Everyone in Tianyang Town was so poor that it was unbelievable that they could get so much gold in just ten days.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Zhao Tufei and others would not have believed that Wang Zhe and others could really get so much gold.

But as the saying goes, seeing Qian's eyes open, Zhao Tufei immediately burst out laughing, turned over and jumped off the horse.He came to the box in a few steps, picked up a piece of gold and looked at it, and after confirming that it was not fake, he said excitedly: "Damn it, it's all gold, now we're rich, haha..."

As he said that, Zhao Tufei ordered two of his men to carry the box over, looked at Lu Yang and said, "Boy, you are very unfamiliar. We haven't seen you when we came last time!"

Lu Yang nodded noncommittally, and said, "We have already given you the money, when will you release him?"

Zhao Tufei rolled his eyes, and instead of answering Lu Yang's words immediately, he asked, "Seeing that you are also a martial artist, you should have a high status. Did you get the gold?"

Lu Yang frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Tufei was not angry either, he laughed and said, "Little brother, we are all smart people, since you have so much gold, why don't you take out some more, so that the brothers are willing to help them send it back."

"You are a bit greedy!" Lu Yang snorted coldly, and said calmly, "If you don't want to send them back, we can pick up the cottage and bring them back to the town."

"Bring them back?" Zhao Tufei smiled disdainfully, looked at Lu Yang as if he was looking at an idiot, and only heard him say, "Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? Since you don't understand, then I will To tell you the truth, this money is not enough, if you want us to release people, get so much gold within ten days. No, three days, three days later I will bring them back for gold, how about it?"
