~8 min read 1,409 words

Several people following the small leader were also secretly drooling and hurriedly said: "Boss, take us with you!"

"Yes! It's been so boring on the mountain these days, let us have some fun too!"

The small leader laughed to the sky: "Good! Brothers, let's go together, let's have some fun today!"

Several people walked toward the shopkeeper's family of four together. As the two men in the family, they stood up without hesitation at this moment, determined not to let these thieves defile their family members.

The father and son looked at each other, picked up the wooden sticks in their hands, and rushed forward, shouting with ferocious faces: "Thieves bully me too much, die for me!!"

The next moment, the blade pierced through the chests of the two, staining the clothes on their backs red.

"Old immortal thing, dare to stop me?" The small leader pulled out his big knife, ignored the blood on the blade, and carried it on his shoulder like this.

"Dad!!" The daughter roared and cried, not understanding that the family was happy at dinner, and it became like this in just a while.

She wanted this to be a nightmare so much, and nothing happened when she woke up.

It was a pity that reality was placed in front of her so bloodily, and no matter what, it wouldn't become a dream.

"Stop shouting! Little beauty, wouldn't it be fine if you followed me earlier?" The small leader got closer and closer to the other party, and in his itching heart, he threw down his knife and ran toward the other party.

Several other mountain bandits also threw down their knives and rushed up with bad smiles.

Such things gradually staged in Ziyun City, and for a time, there were wails everywhere, and the miserable sounds were like a human purgatory.

Soon Xiexiezi discovered that something was wrong. They had already ransacked three shops, and it was almost time to retreat. Why was there no movement from the others?

Before setting off, Xiexiezi had roughly calculated that according to him and his men's speed, everyone scattered, and even if each small team only robbed three shops, it was enough to fill the donkey cart.

But now more than half of the cargo on the donkey cart was still missing, and even many brothers had disappeared.

Xiexiezi realized that something was wrong, walked into a smashed shop with a dark face, and immediately discovered the mountain bandits who were having fun.

"What are you doing? There is no time left. If the city guards all come later, no one will be able to leave!" Xiexiezi was furious and immediately spoke to stop his men's behavior.

How could the mountain bandits who were in the middle of the excitement listen to what Xiexiezi said? They said indifferently: "Young Boss, don't be afraid! If the guards come, Menghuzhai can't beat them. Come and join us! I'll let you go first, Young Boss?"

"First your mother's hammer, you idiot!" Xiexiezi's anger rose to his head and his eyes turned red. He drew his big knife and hacked at the other party's head.

With the head falling and blood spilling all over the room, the remaining few mountain bandits calmed down and hurriedly pulled up their pants and begged Xiexiezi for mercy: "Young Boss, we... we listen to you."

Looking at the filthy scene in the room and the crying of these women lingering in his ears, Xiexiezi forced himself to suppress his anger and turned to walk outside.

"Hurry up, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

Xiexiezi looked at the dozens of people by the donkey cart, and the uneasiness in his heart reached its peak.

He drank wine yesterday and said that Menghuzhai had a chance of winning against the guards, but in fact, he knew very well that his men were just a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp. If they really fought, the outcome was not certain!

What's more, the personnel were so scattered now, and even threw away their weapons to do that thing. If the guards arrived, they wouldn't have any room to resist at all.

In just a few breaths, Xiexiezi made a major decision!

Retreat!

There was one count for the existing personnel. If they continued to wait here, no one would be able to leave.

As for the other men, Xiexiezi couldn't do anything except curse secretly now. These people didn't listen to him, so they had to bear the corresponding consequences.

"Take the donkey cart, go!" Xiexiezi ordered and walked toward the city gate without looking back.

Bai'e Hu didn't understand his son's move and naturally had to ask: "Wait! My son, what does this mean?"

The others saw that the Big Boss and the Young Boss had different opinions, and for a time there was no movement, all waiting for the Big Boss to speak.

"Dad! Let's go! If we don't leave, the guards will come!" Xiexiezi didn't expect that at this juncture, his father was the first to stand up and question him.

Bai'e Hu waved indifferently: "What's this? If the guards come, just fight."

Xiexiezi knew that if he didn't explain clearly, his father wouldn't leave, so he could only explain hurriedly.

"If all the brothers of my Menghuzhai were here, we would fight if we wanted to, but now there are only a few dozen of us, and the rest are busy doing those filthy things. When the guards arrive, none of us will be able to leave!"

The military advisor was also slow to react. He looked around at the existing manpower and immediately followed Xiexiezi to persuade Bai'e Hu.

"Big Boss, Young Boss is right, we should indeed retreat!"

"But... but, brothers..." Bai'e Hu hesitated. He had been a bandit for many years, and he relied on being righteous to have today.

He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart no matter what if he left his brothers and left by himself.

"We can't care so much. We will shout one last time. Those who are willing to go will go, and those who are not willing to go, we can't stay here to be buried with them!"

Xiexiezi made the biggest concession, mainly because time could no longer be delayed.

"Good!" Bai'e Hu gritted his teeth and agreed, took a deep breath, and shouted to the surroundings: "Brothers, retreat!"

Xiexiezi hurriedly greeted everyone to follow him and ran toward the city gate, shouting while running: "Brothers of Menghuzhai, retreat!"

At this time, neat footsteps appeared at the end of the street. Xiexiezi looked back and saw the well-armed guards coming!

"Hurry up!" Xiexiezi knew very well that his people could not beat the other party at all, so he grabbed his father's hand and flew toward the city gate!

The Squad Leader of Ziyun City was furious. Looking at the smoky scene in the city, he immediately ordered in a deep voice.

"Rush to the city gate and close the door for me. None of these bandit grandsons can leave!"

The other party wanted to close the door to beat the dog, and Xiexiezi wanted to take the opportunity to run out. The two sides launched a chase one after another.

Because they were still carrying the loot they robbed, their speed was obviously lagging behind. Xiexiezi could only grit his teeth and fall to the very back of the crowd, preparing to block the other party for a while when they caught up.

At this time, a small part of the mountain bandits who heard the sound came out and saw the soldiers chasing and hitting them, and hurriedly rushed toward the main force of Menghuzhai.

"Big Boss, wait for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the mountain bandit was pierced through by the long spear in the soldier's hand, and the remaining mountain bandits were also fleeing in all directions!

Seeing this, Xiexiezi didn't stop for a moment. Taking advantage of the soldiers' slow pace now, he and others could safely leave the city.

Dozens of people ran out of the city with their heads buried. Not long after they left the city, a muffled sound of "dong" came from the city gate behind them.

Bai'e Hu looked blankly at the closed city gate and then at the dozens of people left behind.

"No, I want to go back and save the brothers!"
