Chapter 32.1 (1/2)
That big man gloomily looked at Yuan Earnest. Since he’d been the first to speak among their group, he naturally attracted everybody’s attention.
However, his reaction was contrary to what they had expected. While confronting thirty plus Red Cloth horse bandits, he’d not shown the slightest bit of panic. On the contrary, the corner of his eyes contained a trace of disdain.
That Red Cloth bandit had also seen the ways of the world. He naturally didn’t make any error in discerning it. His brows twisted as the group of people before him turned even more unfathomable.
“Boss Liao, why exchange meaningless words with them. These horses are quite good. Let’s keep them all. Leader will certainly have a reward for us.”
One of the bandits walked out with glowing eyes. His vision had also been on Red Silk since the beginning. However, his intentions were even more sinister. He actually wanted to take all the horses. As for how to deal with the people after taking the horses, he didn’t care to even mention it.
Boss Liao’s eyes eventually glowed with a cruel glint. Inwardly, he was telling himself how could one so easily run into experts in this world? With his eighth layer cultivation along with his thirty plus brothers who had fourth and fifth layer cultivations, they could easily rampage on this road.
Indeed, why would true experts travel by switching their horses. Moreover, how rare are experts? They are not cabbages sold in the markets.
Once he made his decision, his pitch immediately increased, “You people, leave the horses and your possessions behind. Then, you may leave.”
Yuan Earnest inwardly sighed and calmly spoke as before, “You wish to rob us, right?”
Boss Liao chuckled and said, “We’re not robbing, rather taking from the rich to help the poor. You have so many horses and so much stuff on the horses. You are obviously those selfish, rich sharks. Leave all your stuff behind, and Lord Liao will leave your life.”
He Yiming couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. This was his first time exchanging words with horse bandits. He hadn’t expected that they would actually refer this as taking from the rich to help the poor instead of robbery. Only after taking from the rich, the wealth would probably not arrive in the hands of the poor.
Yuan Earnest was about to speak when He Yitian suddenly said in a bright voice, “Uncle Yuan, if we hand over the horses and our stuff, do you think these people will truly let us live?”
Upon hearing these words, Boss Liao immediately determined he’d been truly over imagining. These people actually only seemed profound on the outside. His face had already started to darken, deciding that he would kill all four of them.
Yuan Earnest hesitated a bit before saying, “Horse bandits love to slaughter for fun. Furthermore, Red Cloth Bandits’ reputation is so widespread that you can even hear about them occasionally in our Gold Forest country. Their conduct is vicious and merciless. Even if we hand over all our possessions, they will not leave us alive.”
He Yitian displayed a flash of understanding on his face before he turned his head and said, “Boss Liao, are my uncle’s words correct?”
Boss Liao heartily laughed and said, “So the young fellow has seen the world and is somewhat experienced. Correct&h.e.l.lip;” His face strictened, “Today, you will leave behind your possessions and horses, and also your lives.”
While He Yitian and the Boss Liao were conversing, the thirty plus bandits had already scattered, blocking all the escape routes on the road.
To them, these four were already like a turtle in a jar who had no chance to escape.
He Yitian faintly shook his head. Seeming as if he was thinking to himself, he said, “Since handing over our stuff to you is the same as not handing it over, why should we listen to you? Isn’t that so, sixth?”
He Yiming faintly started, then smiled, “It’s precisely as eldest brother said.”
Looking at the gradually converging bandits, He Yitian suddenly said, “But they have a huge advantage in numbers, sixth. We better give a bit of our stuff,” He pointed towards the sack on He Yiming’s horse and said, “This thing’s worth is quite substantial, perhaps it can buy our life.”
Although his voice was not loud, following it, the vision of the few horse bandits ahead immediately followed his hand and arrived on the sack on the He Yiming’s horse.
The sack contained He Yiming’s chopper. It was more than a meter long thanks to the three sections inside. Therefore, from the outside, it was hard to determine what was contained inside.
Boss Liao’s heart faintly trembled. The horse He Yiming was riding was a treasured colt. If the latter staked his life and made a run forward, he might not be able to chase him down. At the very least, he’d no certainty accomplis.h.i.+ng this feat without taking the risk of inflicting harm to the horse.
“Hey, you there. What is in your sack? Hurry up and take it out. If it is truly some precious treasure, it might buy your life.” Boss Liao glared and fiercely said, “If you make Lord Liao happy, you might be able to preserve everybody’s life.”
