Chapter 2571: Chapter 2571: Fugui (5)
Even though Dongtou Mountain doesn’t have an impressive name, nor is it tall, its terrain is treacherous and complex, making it easy to defend and hard to attack, which is why the mountain bandits chose it.
The bandit hideout is located at the top of Dongtou Mountain, from where they can overlook the entire Dongan Town.
The entire hideout has over 120 mountain bandits, but this time the leader took over a hundred down the mountain, leaving just a dozen to guard the place, along with a few who were previously injured.
At this time, a few mountain bandits were chatting idly.
"I wonder what’s happening down the mountain, maybe it’s a big catch."
"I have a feeling it’s a bit risky, isn’t it? Old Liu and the others are great fighters, yet they got tricked without even a chance to fight back. Could it be those people are very formidable?"
"How formidable can they be? At most, they’re just wealthy people. Old Liu and the others were just careless."
"Let’s hope so."
At this moment, someone came running back hurriedly.
"Fugui, why are you back?" a gate-guarding bandit exclaimed in surprise, "Did something happen to the leader?"
"I escaped back here, everyone better prepare quickly." This was Fugui, the one who had left earlier, now sweating profusely as he ran back. "Those people are tough, the leader and the others are likely doomed. I barely escaped to warn you."
"Really? Or are you just scared for your life?"
"Believe it or not." Fugui waved his hand, "When the soldiers arrive later, don’t regret it." With that, he ran towards his place. He had some Silver saved up that he had to take before fleeing, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back.
The mountain bandits were dumbfounded. Could the leader and the others really have been wiped out?
Just then, Fugui emerged with a small bundle on his back, ready to head down the mountain.
"Hey, are you really leaving?" Someone grabbed him, "Isn’t this traitorous behavior?"
"Traitor? Staying here and getting killed isn’t traitorous?" Fugui rolled his eyes at the person, "I’m advising you out of good will to leave quickly; soon you won’t be able to leave if you hesitate." With that, he shrugged the other off and ran away in a flash.
The few of them exchanged glances, filled with doubt.
But in the midst of their doubt, they saw a team of soldiers coming down the mountain.
"They really got wiped out. We need to run quickly; a dozen of us can’t possibly defend the stronghold." The bandits quickly came to a consensus and turned to flee through the back of the mountain, not even having time to go back and gather their belongings, but as long as they were alive, they could earn everything back in the future.
Thus, Kong Qingfang attacked an empty bandit hideout, capturing only ten bandits who didn’t have time to escape, while four others were missing.
Back hall of the County Governor’s Office.
The leader sat in front of Kong Qingfang, "Master Kong, how are you going to resolve this?"
"How else can it be resolved?" Kong Qingfang frowned and looked at the leader, "I’ve always said that every month, it should happen on that fixed day, but your people wouldn’t listen, and now trouble has been stirred up, hasn’t it?"
"Master Kong, we’re in the same boat now, isn’t it? Now isn’t the time to blame me, is it?" The leader stared at Kong Qingfang, "We need to find a solution."
"Tell me, what other solution can be used?" Kong Qingfang paced back and forth anxiously in the room.
"Either have them leave quickly, or..." The leader made a beheading gesture.
