Chapter 179: Encountering bandits

Naturally, Wang Kang didn't know about the conspiracy far away in the Governor's Mansion in Xuanwu City. He was still looking at the map of Xinfeng County at the moment. This was his family's fiefdom, so he had to know it well!

After research, he only had one feeling, and that was that it was big!

It is indeed very large. According to the geographical area of ​​Xinfeng County, it should cover two-thirds of Yangzhou City.

Of course, this is only the area in a narrow sense. In fact, the actual area used is very small!

Because they are mostly mountains and hills!

Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains, and Xinfeng County is sandwiched between them. If a flash flood breaks out in such an environment, there may be no solution.

No wonder Liushan’s hometown and villages were washed away by flash floods. This is also a thorny problem.

A lot of problems have been discovered just on the map, but this has not yet been done on the ground.

Wang Kang knew that he still took it for granted. It would be very difficult to truly develop Xinfeng County!

However, with the knowledge in his mind and the advanced experience in his previous life, he is confident to develop!

The convoy had been traveling for a while, and the speed had obviously slowed down, and the bumps were serious.

In fact, Xinfeng County is not far from Yangzhou City, it can be said to be very close.

It's just because there is an east mountain between the two, so if you want to go there, you can only take a detour.

The bumps became more and more severe. Wang Kang lifted the car curtain and went outside, only to see the road they were taking at the moment.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a road at all, but it is relatively smoother than others.

It was just like that. It was not only narrow but also covered with rocks. Wang Kang knew that this was specially leveled by the imperial court before transporting iron ore mined from Xinfeng County.

Before there were no roads at all.

After walking like this for a while, two mountains appeared in front of them. There was a natural trail between the two mountains. Wang Kang looked at the map and knew that this was the only way to enter Xinfeng County at present.

After passing here, even if it is the boundary of Xinfeng County, it is now his family's territory!

Wang Kang looked up and saw that these two mountains were very high. The gap between the two mountains was a path with smooth mountain surfaces on both sides. It would be scary to walk in them.

If a huge boulder suddenly falls from the mountain, there will be no way forward or retreat.

Wang Kang's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at it. He discovered something unusual. There was nothing on the mountain on the right, but now a huge boulder suddenly appeared.

Born out of thin air!

Wang Kang believed that he would not be mistaken. Because of the library in his mind, his memory was very good and he could basically have a photographic memory.

How could there be an extra huge boulder for no reason? The boulder will not run away on its own, so there is only one possibility...it is man-made!

No! There's an ambush!

Wang Kang instantly understood that Zhang Yuan had said before that bandits gathered in Xinfeng County. The high mountain was the bandit's nest. It was obvious that the bandits knew that he was coming to take over Xinfeng County today, so they set up an ambush here to rob him.

!

"Stop!" Wang Kang shouted hurriedly.

Liu Jin immediately shouted and sent a message, "Young master has an order, stop the car immediately!"

One after another, the convoy stopped!

"What's wrong?" Li Qingman leaned out and asked.

"We may have encountered bandits!" Wang Kang said in a deep voice.

"What?" After hearing this, Liu Jin and Li Qingman were both shocked and looked up at their surroundings.

"Such an environment is indeed a good place for an ambush," Li Qingman nodded in agreement.

"Xu..."

At this time Zhou Qing ran over on horseback and asked: "What happened to the young master?"

"You may be ambushed by bandits!" Wang Kang ordered in a deep voice: "Stand still, stay away from these two mountains. Don't enter until it's safe!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing looked around nervously and said doubtfully: "It's quiet here, and I've been sending scouts to explore the road, but I didn't find any danger..."

"The more normal it is, the more abnormal it is!"

Wang Kang said coldly: "Place the soldiers in various places and make them ready, but don't let others know, don't cause trouble, and pretend to be resting in place..."

"The enemy is in the light, and we are in the dark. We must remain unchanged to cope with all changes. Let's see if they can have the patience to wear it out..."

"Okay!" Zhou Qing said without doubting his presence, "How many more people are you planning to arrange here?"

"No need!" Wang Kang shook his head and said: "If this will cause them to feel nervous, everything will remain the same!"

"Yes!" Zhou Qing glanced at Li Qingman, then left to make arrangements.

And at this moment, on the top of the mountain on the left, there are thirty or fifty people gathering here...

They were all dressed in miscellaneous clothes, looked fierce, and held various weapons in their hands. Most of them carried knives, and a few even held crossbows!

These people are the bandits who gather in Xinfeng County!

"Third brother, those people stopped suddenly!" shouted a bandit who was responsible for keeping watch.

"Stop? Let me take a look!"

This man called Third Brother by others is obviously the leader of this gang of bandits. His name is Shi Feng. He is tall and tall. He wears single clothes. His bare chest is covered with scars, and he has a fierce aura!

He came to the cliff, looked down and said solemnly: "I must be resting! After all, I have to enter two ditches."

"Third brother, there are quite a few of them, can we eat them?" Another person asked.

"Get rid of it!" Shi Fenghe cursed and said, "Do you know how much effort I put into getting this job from my eldest brother!"

"I have already made a declaration. You all should cheer up for me. Do you know who the person below is?"

Shi Feng said loudly: "That's the young master from the Earl of Fuyang's family, do you know? He is the big prodigal son of Yangzhou City!"

"It must be Wang Kang, I know him!" One person asked: "Why did he come to Xinfeng County? This place is very poor, do you want to visit?"

"Xinfeng County is no longer the former Xinfeng County, but the fiefdom of Uncle Fuyang. The prodigal son is here to take over!" Shi Feng said solemnly.

"Ah, fiefdom?"

"Haha, make such a wretched place a fiefdom!" all the bandits laughed.

"What do you know?" Shi Feng snorted coldly, "It's better if they come so that we can have enough to eat!"

"Cheer up, you are all my people. I don't need to tell you how much trouble this trip will bring! When they enter the two ditches, just push the boulder down and smash them to pieces!"

Shi Feng ordered: "Then we will go down and kill people, steal food, and steal money!"

"do you understand?"

"clear!"

Seeing the high momentum of his men, Shi Feng looked at Wang Kang's motorcade below with a sinister smile on his face.

"Even the high-ranking officials in Yangzhou City secretly gave us permission to rob. This is a good deal!"

After waiting like this for a while, as time passed by, the convoy below showed no signs of leaving, but Shi Feng was a little impatient to wait.

"Third brother, do you think they have discovered us? Why don't they go into the two ditches?" asked the man watching the sentry.

"What the heck, did you find that you still look so comfortable?" Shi Feng looked gloomy, thought for a while and said: "No wait, let's go straight down and do it!"

"This can't be done, the convoy is guarded by so many soldiers!"

"They are just a bunch of veteran soldiers from the Earl's Mansion. They are used to being pampered. What kind of fighting power can they have?" Shi Feng snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"We went down quietly and took aim at the most luxurious carriage in the middle. The prodigal son was inside, and we captured him directly! By then, the prodigal son was so frightened that he pissed his pants. Others would not dare to act rashly and let us do whatever we wanted!
