Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 500: Encountering the Red-browed Bandit

Xiaoying was very interested in these strange things and kept asking Jinglan questions.

Jinglan also heard it from her father Zhou Bo and Uncle Xiao Zhenrong. Looking back, Xiao Zhenrong naturally had much more to say about these things than her father.

The reputation of the Golden Sword Sect was not good in the Cangmu Country, and even bad things were often reported. But Xiao Zhenrong spent most of his time in the Nanding Army, and he knew all the mess in Jinyang City. Could it be that he had colluded with the people of the Golden Sword Sect? Was the masked master who injured General Bi Ye a member of the Golden Sword Sect? Or was it that the Golden Sword and Black Sword personally took action?

Thinking of this, Jinglan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If it was really someone from the Golden Sword Sect who was responsible, I'm afraid there are more than just Xiao Zhenrong in Bicheng! They are hiding in the dark, and they must be plotting something to deal with the general or Bicheng!

She whispered her concerns to Chu Xiaomu.

Although Chu Xiaomu had many clever ideas, he had little experience in dealing with complicated personnel matters, so he had never thought about this aspect before. After hearing Jinglan's words, he felt that her worries were justified.

However, he was outside now, so he couldn't remind the general. But on second thought, the general was already the spiritual king of Cangmu Country who had lived for more than 300 years. What kind of people had he not seen, what kind of evil spirits and monsters had he not fought? I'm afraid he already knew all these things. In addition, he also had the Tianxiang Huang Jieshi and the Lieutenant General Li Qi who handled things properly, so he would probably have thought of these things.

He advised Jinglan not to worry too much, saying that the most important thing for us at the moment is to raise military rations for Bicheng. We should raise as much as we can and buy as much as we can.

Jinglan nodded and said, "Brother Xiaomu, you are right. I will listen to you." She had a piece of fake skin on her face, and her appearance had changed drastically. Chu Xiaomu could not see her expression clearly.

Chu Xiaomu said with a smile: "Big brother, you called me wrong this time. You should call me second brother. Why did you call me Brother Xiaomu?"

Xiaoying also chuckled and said, "Brother, we are almost at Jinyang City. Why are you becoming more and more confused?"

Jinglan was so embarrassed that she was speechless for a moment.

It was getting dark at this time, and a gentle breeze was blowing, making the trees on both sides of the official road rustle.

Chu Xiaomu looked at his lowered brows and knew that her cheeks must be flushed and she must be extremely beautiful. She couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly.

While I was daydreaming, I suddenly heard someone breathing heavily not far away. After listening carefully, I found that there was more than one person. I thought that we were close to the foot of Xiaotu Mountain. Could it be that we were really going to encounter bandits?

Jinglan and Xiaoying didn't have as good hearing as Chu Xiaomu. Jinglan saw him suddenly stop and frown to listen carefully, so she asked in a rough voice: "Second brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Chu Xiaomu was about to answer when he heard someone not far ahead shouting, "Brother, second brother, third sister, we've been waiting for you here so hard, haha..." Then more people laughed.

The three of them turned around and saw seventeen or eighteen ferocious men with red foreheads jumping out of the woods beside the road. Some of them were holding knives and swords, while others were carrying guns and sticks. They all looked ferocious and shouted loudly. They were the red-browed bandits from Xiaotushan who specialized in robbing passing merchants.

Only then did they realize that it was almost dark. Apart from the three of them, there were no other merchants or travelers on the official road from Jieyun Pass to Jinyang City.

Chu Xiaomu grew up on Baihua Island. It was only after he came to the mainland that he heard the term "strong man" from Xuanying, Yu Aqi, Yingdan and others. Today was the first time he saw one. He had no idea how to deal with these unreasonable people.

He gently pushed Jinglan's arm and whispered, "Brother, what should we do?"

Jinglan has been shy since she was a child, and she is not very good at dealing with people. Although she has changed a lot after becoming Huang Jieshi's apprentice, she is still shy. When Chu Xiaomu gently pushed her, her face suddenly turned red, but fortunately no one could see it.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretended to bow to the group of red-browed bandits, saying in a rough voice: "My dear... my dear brothers, I am so polite..."

The red-browed bandits laughed even louder.

One person said: "Big brother is actually a sissy, interesting, interesting..."

Although Jinglan was not good at speaking, she was not afraid at all because she had a great master like Chu Xiaomu by her side. She cleared her throat and said, "Who is the leader? I can talk to him." "Leader" is a general term for the bandit leaders, and the leader is called "Leader Head".

When Chu Xiaomu had just escaped from Jiaoshan, he heard Yang Luo say something about "He Gangzi Tou" when he was passing through the official road of Jinyang City. He didn't understand what it meant at the time, so he asked Yu Aqi and found out that it was the meaning of the bandit leader. Today, Jinglan told him that the gang leader of Xiaotu Mountain was called He Cang.

A middle-sized man with a long scar on the left side of his head, a bald head and a round belly, slammed the long-handled machete in his hand into the ground with great force. The iron-wrapped gun handle sank two inches into the ground with a thud. Then he took three steps forward and said loudly, "I am the boss here! You can talk to me, but I may not answer you!" He laughed at the bandits behind him, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth.

The bandits laughed even more unscrupulously. Some said, "This sissy is talking nonsense. He probably doesn't know who he met!"

Some said, "It's 100% certain that you don't know who you met!" Then there was another burst of laughter.

Jinglan cupped her hands again and said, "Excuse me, are you all heroes of Xiao Tushan?"

The bald leader chuckled and said, "You are not an ordinary guy. You even know the name of our Xiaotushan Red Forehead Gang. Where are you from and where are you going? Tell me now!"

Jinglan and the other two had already prepared their words for this matter, and without thinking, they said, "We three brothers and sisters are from Qingyuan near Yutuo City, and we are going to Jinyang City."

The bald man nodded and said, "You look like Qingyuan people, but it's a pity that you shouldn't come to Jinyang City, and you shouldn't pass by my Xiaotushan at this time."

A thin man next to the bald man shouted: "No, no..."

The bald man asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

The thin man said, "Qingyuan is two or three thousand miles away from here. How did you get here? Besides, people from Qingyuan go to Jinyang City through Chenmu Pass in the east. How did you get to the south?!"

Jinglan had already thought of an excuse, and said, "We originally came from Jinyang City, but we went to Jieyun Mountain to collect herbs, and now we are going back, so we took this road."

The bald man thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
