Baili Fei unfolded a map. \ What is drawn on it is the terrain of Chilin Ridge.
"The terrain of Chilin Ridge is steep, surrounded by mountains on three sides.
There is only one way in and out.
There are countless traps set by bandits along the way."
"If you can enter the mountain through this road, you should be able to see a mountain stronghold.
It is built on the mountain.
It is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It is also equipped with powerful crossbows that can shoot through a cow within a thousand steps."
"Last time, the Yamen organized 500 policemen to attack, but they were killed by a mere 100 bandits.
They suffered heavy losses and returned in embarrassment."
"In addition, the bandit leader Guan Chao, his nine-curved chain ghost head sword, is a sword made of cold iron.
The blade is sharp and powerful.
Even if you enter the iron state, you may be injured by it.
Do not No defense.”
With that said, Bai Lifei took off a simple long sword from his waist and handed it over.
Shen Lian caught it, and his hand dropped, unexpectedly heavy.
"This sword is called Zhui Feng.
It has been with me all my life since it was passed down to me by my master.
The sword is three feet three inches long and weighs nine pounds and nine taels.
It cuts iron like mud and breaks hair when blown.
It ranks sixth in the weapons list.
I will give it to you today to kill the thief."
Baili Fei looked solemn.
Shen Lian's expression changed, and he hurriedly picked up the Wind Chasing Sword in his hand, feeling moved in his heart.
He spent 10,000 taels to learn skills from Baili Fei, but this Wind Chaser Sword is worth more than 100,000 taels.
Baili Fei was really kind to him.
"Senior, don't worry, I will cut off Guan Chao's head to repay the favor of giving me the sword."
Shen Lian held the sword in a bow, bowed it to the end, and then strode towards the mountain.
After crossing a redwood forest, he entered a canyon.
The mountain road ahead becomes more and more rugged and narrow, with cliffs appearing on both sides, like two giant hands slowly closing in the middle.
As expected, it is an excellent place to set up an ambush as shown on the map.
As long as a big stone is placed on the edge of the cliff and pushed gently, even if there are thousands of troops below, they will still be in mourning and sorrow.
And this is also true.
On the top of the cliff, big rocks can be seen everywhere.
Occasionally, small pebbles are blown down by the wind and hit the rock wall with a clattering sound, which makes people highly vigilant.
"One man can guard against ten thousand men.
This is the terrain I'm talking about."
Shen Lian raised his head and scanned, squinting his eyes.
At this moment, five people suddenly appeared from the grass.
They were all wearing brown leather armor and animal skins, with messy hair and hideous faces.
They surrounded him in two and three in front.
"Who" The two people standing in front of him were wielding knives, while the three behind him were holding bows and arrows, which were fully charged.
Shen Lian looked at the man for a moment and asked.
He is tall and strong, with a bald head and one eye.
He is eight feet tall, which is about 1.89 meters.

The muscles all over his body are bulging like toast.
He is holding a thick-backed machete in his hand, and his body exudes a ferocious aura like a beast.
"I'm a little red from the Central Plains.
I'm a good friend of your Guanchao village master.
I'm here to visit you.
Please go and report it quickly."
Shen Lian looked arrogant and said calmly.
"The Central Plains is a little red, who is it?"
"Never heard of it."
"what to do" "What should we do?
Let's take it first and then talk about it."
"What if he is really a friend of the village owner?"
The five bandits were talking about it and were unsure.
The bald one-eyed man hesitated for a while, then turned his head and said to the person next to him: "Stop arguing, Butcher Lin.
Go and ask the leader of the village inside the village."
The man turned to leave, but Shen Lian suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a moment."
He took out a gold-edged greeting card from his pocket, and inside it was a piece of silver note worth one hundred taels, ten in total, one thousand taels.
The eyes of the five bandits all lit up in an instant.
"This is a courtesy note.
Give it to your village master for me."
"good" Butcher Lin licked his lips and took the invitation.
Feeling a little hot, he stared at the banknotes for a long time before running into the depths of the canyon.
The other four people were a little relaxed.
The other party was here to give money, and the price was one thousand taels.
Such good things were rare.
Maybe they were really good friends of the village leader, so how could they dare to offend him.
After a while, Butcher Lin ran back and said, "The leader of the village has invited me."
Sure enough, money can make the world go round.
Shen Lian did not plan to attack by force from the beginning, but chose to spend money to open a way.
After seeing Guan Chao, he captured the thieves first and captured the king first, catching them off guard.
No matter how hard these bandits tried, they couldn't imagine that anyone would dare to enter the tiger's den alone.
Under the guidance of Butcher Lin, Shen Lian passed the canyon and saw a stone village built on a rocky mountain standing in front of him.
The entire stone village is surrounded by tall stone walls like castle towers.
A row of mechanical crossbows are installed on the stone walls.
The bows and arrows are all two-meter-long heavy arrows with extremely strong penetrating power.
This kind of defense can be described as an iron wall, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Seeing this scene, Shen Lian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
No wonder five hundred officers and soldiers couldn't attack this bandit stronghold.
Passing through the door and going up the stairs, Shen Lian walked into a hall.
The layout of the hall is simple.
The innermost one against the wall is a tiger-skin throne facing north and south.
The seats are divided into two rows, just like the emperor going to court.
At this moment, sitting on the tiger skin throne was a middle-aged man with a sinister expression, about forty years old.
He was sitting upright, with one hand on the tiger's head, and the other hand holding Shen Lian's bow, staring at Shen Lian coldly. , a penetrating chill reflected in his eyes.
This is naturally Guan Chao, the wanted murderer and robbery criminal who has been offered a reward of 150,000 taels by the imperial court.

There are eight people in each of the two columns under Guan Chao's seat.
Each of these sixteen people were fierce men, with ferocious faces, looking up and down at Shen Lian with evil intentions.
Some of them had unabashed lewd looks, looking at the handsome Shen Lian like a flower girl.
"You are a little red in the Central Plains."
Guan Chao stared at Shen Lian and sneered, "I don't remember that I have a friend like you."
Shen Lian took a few steps forward, unbuttoned the thick velvet coat inlaid with gold and jade, revealing a martial artist's attire.
He held the wind-chasing sword in front of him like a crutch, and said with a smile: "The master of Guanzhai, Shenlong, is gone."
"Tail, I took the liberty of visiting you.
In order to see you, I had to resort to some tricks.
I didn't mean to tease you, so please don't blame me."
"Oh, then who are you?"
Guan Chao's eyes flickered to the Wind Chasing Sword.
Shen Lian said: "I am a businessman.
I will kill anyone who gives me money."
"Killer" Guan Chao's eyes widened with a hint of vigilance, "Are you here to kill someone?"
Shen Lian chuckled and shook his head: "The leader of the village is invincible and has many powerful generals.
How dare I act so arrogantly here?
To be honest, I came here this time to discuss a big business deal with you, the leader of the village.
To seek wealth.”
Guan Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Shen Lian continued: "Not long ago, I received a business deal.
Someone offered me one hundred thousand taels to kill someone.
The target was Wang Fugui, the eldest son of the Wang family, the four major families in Xueling City.
However, there are special requirements for the method of death.
It cannot be caused by assassination or accidental death.
It must be met by a robber on the road and died under the knife of the robber. " Guan Chao understood: "You want me to kill someone for you" Shen Lian nodded: "How about a reward of seventy-three percent after the event is completed?"
Guan Chao snorted and sneered: "People want us to kill, and we have to bear the crime, but you want to take away thirty thousand taels.
There are such cheap things in the world."
Shen Lian smiled calmly and said: "How much does the village leader want?"
"I want ninety thousand taels" "The most eighty thousand you can share is eighty thousand."
"Ninety thousand, not even a penny less, we are the ones working hard."
"All right" Shen Lian was silent for a few seconds, then agreed slightly unhappily.
Guan Chao was proud and laughed: "When do you do it, how do you do it?"
"Two days later, Wang Fugui will leave Xueling City, accompanied by about ten followers.
They will pass by the main road near Chilin Ridge.
You just need to set an ambush in advance and hack him to death."
“This is simple”
"The Wang family's retinue also has experts.
Just in case, I hope the leader of the village will do the hard work himself, and I will also assist.
After the matter is completed, I will stay in the village until someone delivers 90,000 taels before leaving.
I don’t know what the village’s plan is.”
"Easy to say, easy to say" It wasn't until this moment that Guan Chao relaxed and exposed his rough side.
In fact, in this ancient world, there was no Internet world, informatization had not developed, and people's hearts were relatively simple.
It was a bit like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Some people were not fools and were very smart, but they were fooled.

Shen Lian took a breath and successfully sneaked into the village.
"Come, let's have a banquet.
I want to drink three hundred cups with Zhongyuan Yidianhong."
Guan Chao raised his arms excitedly.
Soon, a grand banquet was held.
The food on the table is all game, wild boar, wild deer, hare, etc., as well as wine.
Seventy or eighty people gathered together in the village, eating large pieces of meat and drinking heavily.
It was very lively.
After a while, several frightened young girls were driven out and asked to dance for fun.
If they didn't dance well, they would be whipped.
Their screams attracted bursts of laughter, which only made these bandits more excited and wanton. .
One of the girls looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
The wooden figure seemed to be moving stiffly.
Her tears had long since dried up, and there was only a dim light of despair in her eyes.
"Come on, come on, a little red, I'll toast you another glass."
Guan Chao kept pouring wine for Shen Lian, one big bowl after another.
"I also offer a toast to the leader of the village.
The leader of the village will enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens."
Shen Lian kept complimenting him and drank heavily.
His drinking capacity was not bad and he could compete with anyone.
However, he found that after the wine entered his throat and intestines, it was quickly refined into vitality by two Gu.
After drinking it, it was almost No intoxication was produced.
Think about it, wine is made from whole grains, and can enter the blood circulation without digestion.
It is naturally converted into vitality faster than food.
"Medicinal wine" Shen Lian had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of a good way to refine his vitality.
At this time The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Shen Lian was stunned for a moment and saw all the bandits looking in the same direction.
He turned around and suddenly saw a woman dressed up and walking towards her.
This woman was extremely beautiful, with an extremely handsome figure.
She had a curved front and back, and her skin was as white as snow.
She was so handsome that she was even more beautiful than Li Chengcheng, the courtesan of Zuihualou.
It's so fascinating to me.
"Meet Madam" All the bandits lowered their heads.
Guan Chao is very lucky because she is Mrs.
Yazhai.
Shen Lian couldn't help but curl his lips
