C304 (1/2)

Looking at the stones blocking the road, Xiao Wen faintly felt the feeling of a conspiracy.

Generally speaking, there was only one way for bandits to join forces, and that was to have a ”business” that was very challenging, but also had a great harvest awaiting them. If they could work together, then they would get enough. However, if he wanted to fight one on one and complete this transaction, he would die miserably.

Only in this situation where they had to work together could they unite these robbers, criminals, and murderers, who had gradually turned from a poor farmer into an unruly robber.

Only, Xiao Wen did not think that this group of people came for money.

As the envoy of the, Xiao Wen had already put up a flag this time in order to avoid all sorts of troubles and misunderstandings along the way.

All the officials on the road treated him courteously.

At the same time, the soldiers of the two countries at the border didn't make any move to make things difficult for them. Even when they saw their crossbow and Zhanmadao, they did not say anything — weapons of this scale could only protect themselves, but to rely on such weapons to take down the Tang Army's base was simply a pipe dream.

After all, professional soldiers were much stronger than bandits.

And it was also because of this that the bandits on many roads, as long as they were slightly larger in size and with some education, would definitely not dare to attack Xiao Wen — After all, the places that Xiao Wen had walked on, were not places that very few people would take. They would still be able to survive if they did not rob Xiao Wen.

As for robbing Xiao Wen, although they could get some wealth out of it, but anyone with even the slightest of brains would know that the consequences of attacking the diplomatic mission was serious.

And now, this place was a place that only the Han and Tang kingdoms could cross, yet Xiao Wen encountered a group of people who dared to face the risk of being retaliated against after assaulting the diplomatic mission and assaulting Xiao Wen.

If they didn't have anything to rely on, Xiao Wen wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

”But, what are their trump cards?” Xiao Wen frowned and muttered.

”Sir, this is not the time to think about this. Defense first, then counterattack! ” Anthony suggested from the side.

While he was speaking, a few more stones rolled down from the mountain and crashed into the two sides of the road.

However, these stones were the same as before, they did not have enough kinetic energy to break through the fortifications.

”Hehe!” ”It's a good thing that your carriage is stronger than ordinary carriages. If it were any ordinary carriage, it would have been knocked away long ago.” A shop assistant nearby suddenly said.

”Did they underestimate us?” Xiao Wen asked.

”Of course.” The clerk replied, ”If they knew how strong our carriage is, I think they would be better prepared. At least I'll choose a better valley to ambush and have the stones roll down from a higher place. ”

Hearing that, Xiao Wen nodded.

Ambush was something that required a lot of consideration. It did not mean that if you could find a valley deep enough, you could set up a trap.

First of all, the place had to be close enough to their lair. If they were too far away, it was very easy for accidents to happen.

Secondly, there could not be any escape route for Xiao Wen and the others. Otherwise, their ambush would be a waste of time.

At the same time, there could be no one there, especially the border patrols of the Tang and Han countries.

After all, if these soldiers saw a Thief, they wouldn't let him off.

The laws of both countries stated that killing a Thief or capturing one would be rewarded for their merit.

And this further compressed the place where they had chosen to ambush themselves.

”It's just a bunch of guys who haven't even read a book. It's not surprising that they chose this kind of place because they underestimated their opponent.” Xiao Wen sneered.

The purpose of reading and learning was to enable people to know the solution in advance when they encountered something they had never encountered before.

If there was someone who had read the military books and ambushed Xiao Wen, he definitely wouldn't have made such a low level mistake today.

However, although this group of Thieves had accumulated a lot of experience during normal robberies, their experience could only be used in the things that they had experienced. And if they hadn't, they would have gone blind.

”Did you see that? This is what happens when you don't read. If you don't study properly, you'll be like the trash outside, not even good at robbing. ” Xiao Wen suddenly said to the students.

Hearing that, all the students were startled, obviously not expecting Xiao Wen to suddenly say that.

Seeing no reaction from these children, Xiao Wen curled his lips.

Obviously, this group of children did not find it funny.
