Reborn Wild Boar: What's wrong with eating a few single people?

Chapter 22: Bandits block the road and extort money

Yuan Qingshan.

On the official road at the foot of the mountain, a gorgeous carriage, surrounded by more than a dozen servants, slowly drove along the official road towards Tianwu City.

The carriage was pulled by four blood-colored horses. The body was gorgeously decorated and inlaid with gorgeous ornaments. The windows were hung with exquisite satin curtains, which looked particularly luxurious.

And those servants were all strong and strong, carrying long swords, and they were warriors who practiced martial arts frequently.

They walked steadily, with sharp eyes, and watched the movements around them vigilantly.

More than a dozen warrior servants protected a carriage, which showed that the people in the carriage were either rich or noble.

"Uncle Wang, how long will it take to get to Tianwu City?"

In the carriage, a woman's voice was as clear and pleasant as a yellow warbler, coming from the carriage. Her voice was full of expectation and curiosity, making people want to see her beauty.

"Miss, don't worry. It's almost there. At the current pace, we should reach Tianwu City in one hour."

Beside the carriage, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler bowed his head and explained patiently. His tone was respectful, and he had a gentle smile on his face, as if he respected the young lady very much.

"Oh! All right then!" The woman's voice came again, and then fell silent.

Obviously, she was a little disappointed with this answer, but she still sat in the carriage and waited obediently.

At this moment, a whistling sound came from the dense forests on both sides of the mountain forest, and countless arrows shot out of the dense forests like a rainstorm, falling from the air and shooting at a group of servants on the road.

These arrows came fiercely and at a very fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the servants.

"There is an ambush, protect the young lady."

A dense rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky, like a locust passing through.

Several of the arrows shot straight at the carriage with a whistling sound of breaking through the air.

At this critical moment, a warrior who looked like the leader of the servants quickly drew out the long sword from his waist, swung it hard, and chopped off a blade of light, knocking the falling arrow aside, and reminded loudly: "Protect the lady!"

For a moment, the whole carriage was filled with the clanging of metal and the screams of the servants who were shot by arrows.

After several rounds of arrow rain, most of the servants guarding the carriage had been killed or injured, and only six were still able to stand. They surrounded the carriage tightly, looking nervous and vigilant.

After the arrow rain, even the middle-aged butler who seemed majestic just now unfortunately fell in a pool of blood and died under the arrows.

At this moment, a group of disheveled and hideous bandits rushed out of the dense forest holding various weapons.

While they opened their mouths and let out a harsh and strange roar, they waved their weapons and killed the remaining servants aggressively.

There were about 20 bandits in this group, led by a bandit leader who was as sturdy as a bull. He held a huge machete in his hand, and with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, he led everyone to surround the entire carriage.

"My dear friends, we are from the Wang family of Tianwu City. If you leave now, my Wang family is willing to offer you 500 taels of silver as a tribute."

Looking at the bandits getting closer and closer, the head of the family servants held a long knife and looked cautiously at the tall leader among the bandits. His face was solemn, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still shouted calmly.

The head of the family servants was also a man who had seen the world and knew some of the rules of the rivers and lakes. These bandits only wanted money. If they offered gold and silver, they would generally not embarrass the passing caravan.

The bandit leader carried a machete on his shoulder, the blade flashed with cold light, and the handle was wrapped with cloth strips, which looked quite sharp.

He was tall and mighty, with bulging muscles, revealing a fierce aura.

There was a long centipede scar on his face, extending from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, making his face look hideous and terrifying.

At this moment, he showed a hint of a grim smile on his face, and his eyes looked back and forth between the carriage and the head of the family servants, as if evaluating their value.

"Hehe! You are a man with some vision, but a mere five hundred taels is not enough for our brothers to go to the brothel for a round. It's less, at least ten thousand taels."

The bandit leader laughed, with a hint of greed and tyranny in his voice.

He stretched out a finger, gestured the number one, and then shook it.

The bandit leader was not stupid. This carriage looked like it was not something that ordinary people could afford to sit in. The frame was gorgeous and made of high-quality wood. The curtains were embroidered with exquisite patterns. At first glance, it was a wealthy and powerful person in the city.

Such a person would naturally be blackmailed. Asking for 10,000 taels was already considered polite to them. If they encountered a more ruthless bandit, they might just kill him to silence him.

Hearing this, the head of the family servants changed his face, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

10,000 taels?

This bastard can even shout it out. Does he really think that the Wang family is a silver shop? Not to mention that he disagrees, I'm afraid the master won't agree either.

10,000 taels is already an astronomical figure for an ordinary family. If the master knew that he privately agreed to give 10,000 taels to the bandits as a tribute, I'm afraid he would draw his sword and chop him on the spot.

After thinking for a moment, the head of the family servants' eyes flashed, and responded: "Master, don't go too far. Although our Wang family is rich, we are not a fool who can be slaughtered at will. 10,000 taels is too much. I can only promise to give you 3,000 taels at most. If the master is not satisfied, our Wang family is also a well-known big family in Tianwu City. If you offend our Wang family, the master's life in the mountains in the future may not be easy."

The leader of the servants said a price he could accept, with a hint of threat in his tone.

Hearing this, the bandit leader snorted coldly.

"I said ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels. One tael cannot be less. What nonsense, the Wang family and the Li family. I don't know them. They only recognize money. If you can't get it out, none of you can leave now. You will all be kidnapped back to the village. The money is waiting to be redeemed."

The bandit leader's attitude was very tough and he would not give in at all.

Seeing this, the leader of the servants narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment again, and his attitude became somewhat submissive.

"Hero, your 10,000 taels is too much. I can't make the decision. I have to go back to the city to ask for instructions from my master. Why don't you leave me and a few other servants behind? Hero, let the guests in the carriage go back to the city to ask for instructions from my master." , what do you think?”

As long as the safety of the young lady in the carriage can be guaranteed, the death of several of their servants is worth it. I believe that the master will treat their families well.

After hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of the bandit leader's mouth.

"Hey! Do you think I'm stupid? What's the use of keeping you cheap slaves? What I want is the people in the carriage. I can't get ten thousand taels. If I want to keep the people in the carriage, you will also have to live. Leave."

As soon as these words came out, the leader of the servants knew that there was no room for negotiation on the matter and took a deep breath.

"Brothers, protect the lady and kill all these sons of bitches."

After saying this, the six servants, led by the leader of the servants, raised their long knives and attacked the bandits.

The leader of the servants confidently believed that he had some martial arts skills, and his servants were not ordinary people, so they should have a certain chance of winning.

The bandit leader couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth when he saw that the remaining servants were killing them without knowing the truth.

The bandit leader waved the sword on his shoulder without hesitation, creating a violent wind of swords.

He took one step forward and slashed hard at the leader of the servants who was charging towards him.

Although the leader of the servants had extraordinary skills, he knew clearly that the power of this sword was huge and that if he faced it head-on, he might be injured or even killed, so he quickly jumped to the side to avoid it like a nimble ape.

However, the bandit leader is not so easy to defeat. He has become proficient in heavy sword martial arts and can use it as he wishes.

Although the servant leader successfully avoided the knife, the bandit leader did not stop attacking, but quickly adjusted his posture and swung the knife again.

This sword was as powerful as thunder and as fast as wind. The leader of the servant could no longer dodge and could only raise the long sword in his hand in front of him, trying to block the blow.

Bang!

The swords collided, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.

The leader of the servant felt a powerful force coming from the sword, and his whole body and the sword were sent flying directly, hitting the ground heavily.

Before the servant leader could get up from the ground, the bandit leader took a few steps forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. His strong body was like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye he caught up with the servant leader who fell on the ground.

The heavy sword in his hand drew a line of cold light in the air, and he slashed down from top to bottom with the force of a mountain crushing an egg.

There was just a puff, and a stream of bright red blood splashed out. The heavy blade cut off the neck of the leader of the servant as easily as cutting tofu, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

The head of the servant leader rolled to the side like a ball, with a look of disbelief still in his eyes.

This bloody scene terrified the remaining servants, their eyes widened with fear on their faces.

The six remaining servants near the carriage watched helplessly as their leader was decapitated by the gangster in front of them with two swords. They were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were split apart, their courage was gone, their legs were weak, and they could hardly stand still.

However, the bandits around them were merciless and swarmed towards them like wolves and tigers.

These servants were no match for this group of ferocious bandits. They were killed to pieces in the blink of an eye, which was horrific.

Seeing that the last servant was about to be hacked to death, the bandit leader suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

The sound was like thunder, deafening.

All the bandits stopped what they were doing, not daring to continue attacking.

I saw the bandit leader waving the sword in his hand to stop his men's actions.

The bandit leader stared fiercely at the last servant, and sneered: "This king needs to go back alone to report the news, so I will keep your life for the time being."

As he spoke, he pointed the tip of the knife at the frightened servant, a hint of cunning and cruelty flashing in his eyes.

The servant was trembling, with fear on his face and cold sweat all over his body. He looked at the bandit leader tremblingly, not knowing what to do.

"Heroes, spare your life, spare your life..."

The remaining servant was frightened to death, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking like chaff.

His legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. While kowtowing, he loudly begged for mercy: "You are a bastard, I only have one life. If you kill me, won't you dirty your hands by killing me? It's really not worth it! Please, all heroes." The adults have a lot, please spare the villain’s life!”

Hearing the servant's begging for mercy, the other bandits burst into laughter, as if they saw a poor ant begging for mercy from them.

The bandit leader sneered, a trace of disdain and disgust flashing in his eyes.

The bandit leader sneered, "Since you are so afraid of death, I will be merciful today and spare your life. But you must do something for us."

As he said, the bandit leader took out a letter from his arms and threw it to the servant. The servant hurriedly picked up the letter and looked at the bandit leader tremblingly, not daring to be negligent.

"Listen, take this letter and go back to Tianwu City immediately. Tell your master to bring 10,000 taels of silver to Baiyun Village in Hutou Mountain to redeem people within three days. If you exceed the time, you will bear the consequences!" The bandit leader said viciously.

The servant nodded repeatedly, but he secretly complained in his heart.

10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if his master went bankrupt, he might not be able to raise so much money. But at this moment, he dared not say a word, and could only nod and agree.

Seeing that the servant was so obedient, the bandit leader suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

He laughed triumphantly and said, "Haha, you are smart! Remember, you must hand the letter to your master, otherwise, the lives of the people in the carriage will be in danger!"

After saying that, the bandit leader kicked the servant hard.

The servant was caught off guard and was kicked several feet away. He fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

The servant who escaped death felt that his bones were about to fall apart and grimaced in pain.

He struggled to get up from the ground, holding the letter and crawling towards Tianwu City.

Looking at the servant's back, the bandit leader had a ferocious smile on his face. He secretly calculated how to squander the 10,000 taels of silver after receiving it.
