Chapter 503 Watching the Fight
Liu Zang asked again: "Let's make it clear first, what is the prize?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "I still have some silver in my bag, I'll use that as the prize."
Liu Zang shook his head and said, "Since you have already fallen into our Red Forehead Gang, the money on you is all ours. What can't be counted?"
"And what about my horse?"
"The horse is ours too. Well, it does look like a good horse!"
"Then I don't have any money to gamble anymore. It looks like I can't gamble anymore."
"No, no, we have to gamble!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Let me think about it..." Liu Zang stared at Chu Xiaomu and thought seriously. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and shouted, "I'll bet on your head of hair! If you lose, you'll have your head shaved like me and Zhang Bazishou!"
The bald man named Zhang immediately said, "Liu Guangtou, don't talk nonsense. I'm not bald! I just don't have as much hair as them." After saying that, he reached out and brushed the small tuft of hair left on the back of his head.
Chu Xiaomu wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he said, "Okay! What if you lose?"
"Nonsense, how could I lose? How could I possibly lose?!"
"Whenever there is a bet, there will be winners and losers. Otherwise, Brother Liu wouldn't be in this situation now."
When Liu Zang heard this, he immediately recalled the miserable days when he lost everything because of gambling, and couldn't help but sigh. He thought, how do you know that I ended up like this because of my gambling addiction? Moreover, this person's voice seemed familiar, very much like someone I knew before, but unfortunately, the appearance was completely different, and the age was completely different.
But after all, he was too addicted to gambling, and it would be impossible for him to quit in this lifetime. When the bandits on Xiaotu Mountain had nothing to do, they would often gamble together, and he was an active member among them.
He endured for a month or so when he first went up the mountain, but a month later he lost all the silver coins he had earned as a bandit. Later he also lost a pointed scimitar he had picked up in Jiaoshan, so now he has empty hands.
Liu Zang thought about it carefully for a while and said, "If you really win, I will give you one of my things!"
"what?"
"Whatever it is, it's a good thing!"
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "I exchanged a lock of my hair for a good thing from you. Aren't you at a big loss?"
"He talks so much. Are you going to agree or not?!" Liu Zang became a little impatient.
"Okay, let's make the bet! You can't deny your debt when the time comes."
"How the hell could I possibly default on my debt?!"
……
Baldy Zhang and the rest of the bandits got up from the ground, cursing. They had originally planned to ambush along the official road for a while, but now their hands and feet were weak, and they were like oxen carrying plows to dig a few acres of land. How could they have the strength to rob?
Now we had to finish work early and walk breathlessly north along the official road.
It was already dark by then, and several bandits lit torches and began shouting and yelling recklessly again.
This group of bandits actually walked openly on the official road of Jinyang City, which shows how bold and arrogant they are.
After walking about two or three miles, I suddenly heard the faint sound of weapons clashing in the distance to the east. I listened carefully and heard the sound of metal hitting metal, which was indeed the sound of metal hitting metal, brought by the breeze.
The sound was sometimes as dense as popping beans, and sometimes there was no sound for a long time. It was obvious that two martial arts experts were fighting.
The bandits didn't have as good hearing as him, and were completely unaware of what was happening.
After walking about another two miles, the sound of weapons clashing ahead became clearer.
Of course, Baldy Zhang and the others also heard it and shouted, "The leader has really started a fight with them. Let's go over and help!" The bandits started to sprint away, shouting and yelling.
Liu Zang kicked Chu Xiaomu on the butt and shouted, "You kid, run too!"
Chu Xiaomu thought that Liu Zang and his gang were hiding on the side of the road, apparently keeping watch, and what was happening ahead was the big event for their Xiao Tushan.
After running less than half a mile and turning a corner, I saw a bright fire at the foot of the mountain.
A large group of people holding torches high surrounded an open space beside the official road, in the middle of which two people were fighting fiercely.
The thin man said, "It seems that the opponent is a tough guy. Even our leader He Biaozi has to take action himself!"
Liu Zang was afraid that the "sheep" he had caught would escape, so he held Chu Xiaomu's arm tightly and dragged him into the crowd.
Chu Xiaomu took a look in the light of the fire and saw that one of the two people fighting was a man about thirty years old, with a strong and vigorous appearance, thick and bushy eyebrows, and a pair of Dinghe hammers about three feet long in his hands. The two hammer heads were only the size of an ordinary person's fist, and they were made very shiny, reflecting the light of the surrounding torches.
I saw his two hammers flying, up and down, hitting very ferociously.
The other was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a face full of flesh and very sparse hair and beard. He had a small bun tied up on top of his head, with most of his hair hanging down behind his head, looking extremely sloppy.
From what Zhang Baldhead and the others said, we know that this man is He Cang, the leader of the bandits in Xiaotu Mountain. He was seen using an extremely thick and long bone-cutting sword, which made a whirring sound when he chopped.
When the two fought, the energy within two meters around them was so strong that the onlookers dared not get too close. They were obviously masters of the Force.
Although Chu Xiaomu's Force realm was extremely high, he advanced too quickly and was almost completely unaware of the process in between, so he couldn't tell what realm these two people were at.
He glanced around and found that there were actually two groups of people watching. One of them was about a hundred people wearing bronze armor and bronze helmets, and they were soldiers from Jinyang City. The other group was about two or three hundred people, and they were naturally the bandits from Xiaotu Mountain.
On the official road heading north, there was a long line of horse-drawn carriages with their wheels half an inch sunk into the ground. It was obvious that the carriages were full of goods, but no one knew what they were loaded with.
The bronze-armored soldiers and bandits were clamoring and cheering for their own side. From time to time, they would curse the other side with foul language that was extremely unpleasant to the ear.
From their cursing words, one could probably tell that the bandits from Xiaotushan, led by He Cang, were planning to rob the goods being transported by the Jinyang City team of soldiers, and so the two groups started fighting.
The bronze-armored soldiers and ordinary bandits under them did not fight, but only the leaders of both sides fought each other. It was probably because both sides had made an agreement that the victory would be decided by the leaders in a fight to avoid too many casualties, which would be bad for both sides.
The Red Forehead Gang of Xiaotu Mountain actually dared to rob soldiers from Jinyang City, which greatly changed Chu Xiaomu's impression of these bandits. It was said that He Cang was backed by the Golden Sword Sect, and that their Red Forehead Gang had always been working for the Golden Sword Sect. It seemed that the rumors were not true.
He originally wanted to go into the mountains to find He Cang and make a big scene, make them suffer, and warn them not to rob the people of Bicheng anymore, let alone the grain transported to Bicheng. If these bandits don't obey, killing some of them is inevitable. Now it seems that there is no rush, just watch the fun first.
