Capítulo 1755: Chapter 1755: Fear and Awe
Don’t think they are just ordinary people.
Anyone daring to do business at the foot of Eagle Beak Cliff is naturally an informant for the horse bandits.
That day, they opened for business as usual, but accidentally looked up and saw a group of riders heading their way from afar.
They were startled. It was a critical ti since the Second Master had been captured by the governnt office, and the Big Boss had specifically instructed them to keep watch. If anything happened, they had to report back to the mountain stronghold imdiately. He had earnestly said that the safety of the brothers was in their hands, which pressure them greatly, as there were hundreds of brothers in the stronghold!
“Brother Yuan, co quickly and see if that group of riders belongs to the governnt office,” the woman stood atop a high spot, on tiptoe, hand shielding her eyes, peering into the distance…
Upon hearing this, the man in coarse clothes quickly ran out from the house: “Little Sister Qin, what’s going on? Is there a situation?”
The woman continued to make an effort to discern, but because it was still too far away, all she saw were black dots resembling ants, making it impossible to identify them clearly.
“Yes, there’s a group of riders approaching from afar, co quickly and help take a look.”
“Right!”
The man ran back inside, fetched sothing similar to a telescope, climbed to the highest point, carefully discerned for just a few monts, and then shouted loudly in alarm: “It’s bad! It’s bad! Governnt people are coming!”
The woman also panicked: “Brother Yuan, did you mistake them? Have another look.”
“Oh, there’s no mistake, it’s definitely the governnt, I’d recognize those dogskin coats anywhere, Little Sister Qin. Enough chatter, quick, pack up, let’s hurry back to report to the Big Boss!”
“Right, right, right!”
The woman also rushed inside, soon erging with a bundle: “Brother Yuan, stop looking, we better leave now!”
“Right, right, right!”
The two hurriedly ran upwards.
When Long Rui and Xuexue arrived, there were still two cups of steaming hot tea on the table at the door of the tea shed, and the tea in the pot was boiling hot.
The county magistrate touched the cup, his face turning very grim. He said to Long Rui, “These are the informants for the mountain stronghold. It seems they have run back to report.”
Rushing over from Hu’s Bay, his heart was filled with unease. He still hadn’t fulfilled his promise to his elder brother about releasing the second brother. Now he’s led governnt soldiers to attack the stronghold. If his elder brother gets angry and reveals his past of being a bandit, what will he do!
However, the War Prince has given the order, and he has no choice but to comply.
Eagle Beak Cliff stronghold.
The leader was wearing a tiger skin coat, his body thin and small, with a pointed nose and monkey-like cheeks, not resembling a Big Boss at all. At this mont, he was sitting in the center of the hall, drinking wine with a frown.
The second brother had been captured by the governnt office and was sitting in prison, while the third brother, that ungrateful bastard, seed to have forgotten his origins as a bandit after becoming a county magistrate, always considering the people of Hu’s Bay first, forgetting their brotherhood, and even more, forgetting how he beca a county magistrate in the first place.
“Bang!”
In a fit of anger, the leader smashed the cup he was holding onto the ground.
“Ungrateful bastard, I’ll expose your scandals for sure sooner or later.”
The two little underlings serving on the side were frightened, fearing that in a fit of anger, the Big Boss would vent his rage on them.
The horse bandits of Eagle Beak Cliff stronghold all feared the Big Boss greatly. Though he looked small and ugly, seemingly without any lethal force, he was naturally sly and his thods were cruel. During highway robberies of passing rchants, he never left anyone alive. His na was well known within a hundred miles, and even the bandits around the mountains were wary of him.
