Chapter 384: Sudden Changes In The Situation Late at night.

The convoy camped at the village entrance of Tuohe village was already silent.

The guards had been working day and night for some time, and they were already exhausted. It was rare for them to be so generous, so they did not need to keep vigil tonight and slept peacefully.

After all, what they were about to enter next was the Black Cloud Stronghold.

At that time, the guards would be under even more pressure than they were now, and they would not be able to relax even for a single moment.

Therefore, it was extremely necessary for them to relax for a night in this village, recuperate, and relieve their fatigue.

To tell the horses to run and not eat grass… In this world, how could there be such a good thing? Even if they could achieve this goal, once they arrived, the horses would have to rest and not do anything.

Qi Long and the others drank quite a lot of wine with Lin Bai.

“Burp… I really regret meeting you… Young Master Lin so late! Come, let us drink to our heart’s content again in the future, and call over a dozen beauties. We won’t stop until we’re drunk!”

Qi Long burped and his footsteps floated. His eyes were blurred, and with Rong Ziyi’s support, he returned to the carriage.

The rest of the people were also drunk. Their eyes were erratic as they took their leave.

“Young Master Lin, we will take our leave first.”

“Okay, everyone, please take a rest. We will enter the Black Cloud Stronghold tomorrow.” Lin Bai nodded slowly and watched them leave.

He looked outside the carriage.

In the night sky, the Moon was in the clouds. Half of its body was exposed, shining with a silvery white light.

The entire village was already pitch-black.

Most of the villagers here mainly worked in agriculture and lived a life of resting at sunset. Usually, they would fall asleep as soon as the sky darkened.

There was a thick locust tree at the village entrance. Under the gentle night wind, the leaves rustled.

“Little Red.”

Lin Bai called out softly.

Little Red, whose entire body was red, flapped its wings and descended from the night sky back into the carriage.

“Let’s rest today!”

Little Red nodded.

After another two hours, the convoy quieted down. After days of hard work and trepidation, many merchants found a moment of peace in this place and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the village, in a dense forest.

“Fourth brother, when are we going up? These guys are all asleep. Moreover, I saw a woman inside. Tsk, she’s so f * cking pretty. Just looking at me makes me unable to control myself.”

A man wearing a black nightgown and holding two machetes had a dirty expression on his face. He had two missing front teeth, and his words were a little drafty.

“Wait a little longer.”

The person called fourth brother was also wearing a black nightgown. His eyebrows were so light that they didn’t seem to grow at all. There was a cross-shaped scar on his chin. He was thin and held a round wheel in his hand.

The outside of the round wheel was filled with polished blades that emitted a cold light under the night sky, making people shudder.

“Tsk, at this time, there are really not many people who dare to pass through our territory, and it’s such a big ticket… Fourth brother, we definitely can’t let go of this opportunity. That pretty girl and her servants are all pretty and rich!”

The bald man holding a gun on the side had a dirty expression. He stuck out his tongue to lick his lips and used one hand to scratch his buttocks.

Behind the three of them, there were more than forty other people who were also wearing night clothes and emitting the smell of blood. Obviously, none of them were desperados who licked blood with the tip of a knife.

After a while, a figure quietly approached from the other side.

“Fourth brother!”

It was a man dressed in black:

“They have stepped on the spot. They are all asleep. It seems that they are a bunch of inexperienced people. Even the guards have gone to sleep… Hehe, little did they know that the people in the village have been colluding with us for a long time! Such people are meat sent into our mouths!”

Fourth brother stared into the man’s eyes and nodded slightly. He turned his head and looked behind him. “Divide into three groups and sneak over. Wait for my command, and all of you will charge forward!”

“Yes!”

A faint sound came from the dense forest, followed by the sound of stepping on grass.

“Tsk, fourth brother, do you think the few of us can have a taste of that woman secretly? If I can do it once… I will die without regrets!”

The bald man smiled wretchedly, his eyes filled with greed.

Fourth brother sneered and said, “After I have a taste…”

What he meant was that it was possible.

The bald man and the other man laughed and could not help but rub their hands together. They wanted nothing more than to rush up and capture this group of people.

Fourth Brother held his breath and concentrated. He estimated the time and turned his head to look at the three of them. The person who had not spoken all this time nodded.

After that person understood, he put his hands in front of his mouth and puffed up his cheeks to blow!

The night sky seemed to be filled with the cries of night birds!

The bald duo grinned and charged forward with weapons in their hands, “Brothers, let’s go, try to capture as many alive as possible! The more we capture, the more we reward. Fourth Brother even said that he would give us a taste of that woman!”

“Charge!!!”

The bald man led his men and charged forward together.

Fourth brother followed closely behind, his gaze sharp as he looked at the convoy ahead.

The convoy was still very quiet. There was no reaction at all.

“Hmph, they are indeed a bunch of rookies. They still haven’t reacted. This is going to be a huge win!” Fourth brother smiled coldly, but his expression changed in the next second.

According to the previous plan, as long as he gave the signal, there would be another three teams charging with them.

But…

What about the three teams?

Fourth Brother didn’t believe that the people from these three teams would be tired and lazy at such a critical moment.

What was the reason?

The bald man and scarface also realized this. They didn’t have a wretched smile on their faces and turned to look at fourth brother behind them.

However, when they turned their heads, the two of them became stiff:

“Fourth, fourth brother…”

“What?!”

When fourth brother heard the two of them stuttering, he could not help but feel angry.

After fourth brother finished speaking, he seemed to have realized something. He turned around and looked, and his body also froze.

The three of them had originally brought more than a dozen people, but these people had collapsed on the ground and were emitting a strong smell of blood. They were all dead!

Moreover, before they died, they didn’t even have the time to scream!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The sound of clapping rang out in the forest. Fourth Brother felt his hair stand on end.

“Tsk, I didn’t expect you to collude with the villagers here. I really didn’t expect that I almost fell into your trap.”

Qi Long clapped and walked out of the shadows. Half of his body was already dyed red with blood.

Qi Long said that he did not expect this, but his face was full of disdain.

“No, impossible. How could you have known in advance? Didn’t you already…”

The bald man roared. He was in disbelief at this sudden change in the situation.

“Didn’t we already get deceived by the coachman you arranged?” Qi Long smiled, but the bald man’s face turned ashen.

Fourth Brother’s face was cold. He held the round wheel in his hand and suddenly turned. “Don’t talk nonsense with them. Let’s fight!”
