Ghost Gate Pass, two mountains sandwiched, the terrain is precipitous, it is the only way to go from Langxi to Ningguo.

On the high cliff on the right side of the valley, there are four masters of the flying centipede and centipede village lying quietly, and there are more than a hundred heavily armed minions.

The fourth master looked down, and saw a large group of men and horses moving forward in the valley below.

There were soldiers, porters, and even a large number of women and children, so they did not walk very fast.

It's just that what attracts the eyes of the four masters is the hemp bag on the shoulders of those porters, a sack is a big bag of fifty catties of grain, how many porters are there before and after?

The four masters drooled when they saw it: "Big brother, how much food does this have?" ”

Why aren't the flying centipedes excited? At the moment, he didn't have a good breath, "How do I know this?" ”

"I'll do the math." The fourth master wrenched his fingers and began to calculate, "A sack is fifty catties, a porter is one hundred catties, and the porter who picks up grain at the bottom will get thirty or fifty thousand people, doesn't this mean that there are three or five million catties of grain?" ”

"Three or five million catties of grain?!" The flying centipede was also taken aback by the number that the four masters said.

Immediately afterward, the eyes of the flying centipede revealed an unconcealable greed, if they could take away these grains, then their centipede village would make a fortune!

But looking at the armed officers and soldiers in the team, the flying centipede dispelled this idea.

There are thousands of national troops responsible for protection below, and there are more national troops in front and behind, if you really want to fight, the dozen or so locks in Langxi and Ningguo are not enough to see.

"Fourth, I warn you, don't act rashly!" At that moment, the flying centipede said, "Our goal is not food, but the gold, silver, soft and meat tickets at the end!" ”

"Yes." The fourth master said, "I just feel a little pity." ”

"It's good to know." The flying centipede said, "You go and restrain the brothers, don't spoil Lao Tzu's great affairs!" ”

"Yes!" The four masters agreed in a low voice, and immediately bent down to convey the order of the flying centipede to the little minions below.

……

Twenty miles away from the ghost gate, there is a cross shop.

Shen Xian said to Guo Qi: "Okay, Lao Guo, let's separate here, go further, I'm worried that I will be discovered by the bandits' eyeliner, and there will be no good show to watch then." ”

"Okay, you have to be careful." Guo Qi nodded.

Shen Xian said: "It's just a few thieves, what are you afraid of." ”

"It's better to be careful, so as not to be careless and lose Jingzhou." Guo Qi shook his head and said, "If there are really bandits robbing the road, most of them will choose to be near the Ghost Gate Pass at the junction of Langxi and Ningguo, I have already inquired with my fellow villagers, the terrain there is very precipitous, so you had better not go too deep." ”

Shen Xian said: "Got it." ”

At that moment, Shen Xian left first with more than 300 veterans.

Shen Xian walked with him, and there were dozens of squires or squire's children, of course, in order to ensure safety, these squires and squire's children were all pretending.

The squires and squires who were really ready to go to Wuhan together were all by Guo Qi's side.

Seeing Shen Xian disappear into the mountains with three hundred veterans, Liang Feng stepped forward and asked, "Lao Guo, do you think there will really be an eyeless thief to provoke our group?" ”

"How?" Guo Qi said, "Do you doubt Tuanza's judgment? ”

"No, don't talk nonsense." Liang Feng hurriedly denied it and said, "I just think how stupid should the thieves here be to move their ideas to our group?" ”

"It is not surprising that people die for money, and birds die for food." Guo Qi said, "Lao Liang, it's almost time for us to go, but we must keep a good distance from Lao Guo and them, don't get too close." ”

"Understood." Liang Feng nodded, turned around and left.

……

The ghost gate has closed, and the sun has sunset into the western ridge.

The procession in the valley below walked for a whole day, looking at the grain, tea, cloth, silk, salt, and medicine that passed through that time, and the bandits in the centipede village dried up their salivas!

The flying centipede also bit blood from the root of its teeth, so it could hold back the greed in its heart.

The wealth is moving, and watching so much money pass through without being able to take a bite is too difficult for bandits who are used to robbing their homes.

It wasn't until the team was gone that the four masters breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Damn!" The fourth master took the muzzle of the twenty-shot box cannon and put the tiger skin hat on his head, and said viciously, "It's time for the main master next, right?" ”

The flying centipede said in a deep voice: "It should be it!" ”

After another half hour, it was getting dark.

The bandits in Centipede Village were waiting a little impatiently, when the eyeliner who was ambushing the mountain pass in front of them suddenly sent back a message.

When the fourth master saw it, his spirits immediately perked up, and he roared: "Big brother, the target has appeared, the big fat sheep is here!" ”

"I saw it!" The flying centipede nodded heavily, and said, "Send a signal to tell the brothers in each lock that the fat sheep is out of the circle and ready to hunt!" ”

"Gotcha!" The four masters agreed, and walked to the back to erect a dead tree.

After erecting the dead tree, the four masters turned back to the flying centipede and lay down.

After another ten minutes, a team of people came from the north side of the Ghost Gate.

The flying centipede made a visual inspection, and this team of centaurs was only three or four hundred people at most, and there were no porters and baggage, but there were many squires or squires in the team.

Seeing this, the eyes of the flying centipede instantly lit up, this is the big fat sheep!

Because according to the information provided by Commander Xia, there are many rich children in Langxi County who want to go to Wuhan with the 367 regiment this time, and these rich children go to Wuhan not just to escape.

In fact, they are tasked with transferring the family's fortunes!

In other words, these rich children carry a lot of gold and silver!

What's more, it's not just the gold and silver that are soft, it's these rich children themselves who are also fat sheep, and if they catch them, they can knock out the bones of those squires and rich people in Langxi County!

In a word, this time Centipede Village has made a fortune! They're going to make a fortune!

The fourth master couldn't help but roar: "Come on, come on!" ”

Under the expectant gaze of more than 300 bandits in Centipede Village, the team finally appeared outside the Ghost Gate Pass, and as long as they walked about fifty or sixty meters further, they could launch an ambush and seal the valley mouth with a boulder to block them in the valley.

However, at this moment, the group suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward, and stopped outside the valley mouth.

"Holy, why don't you leave?" The four masters immediately became anxious and shouted, "Go forward, go!" ”

Suddenly, including the flying centipede, the hearts of more than 300 bandits in the entire Centipede Village immediately lifted.

The next moment, the group suddenly turned and began to retreat, as if they had noticed something wrong.
