Chapter 349 - bandit Alliance
Ling Xiao's arrogance was naturally built on his strength being strong enough. Just like waiter had said, there were countless bandits on this road, if they really wanted to kill all of them, then it would only take a month or two before they could forget about Fujian.
Therefore, Ling Xiao had chosen to swagger forward like this with so many treasures exposed to the outside. As long as they could not endure the greed, they would definitely take the initiative to snatch them away.
Of course, Ling Xiao was also very curious, he had already killed so many people, it should already be enough to scare them off, could it be that there would really be someone who wasn't afraid of death coming?
However, in the following days, Ling Xiao's convoy did not meet with any obstructions, and even the portion of the road that should have had bandit s on them became extremely clear. This made more and more cold sweat appear on waiter's forehead, because as Ling Xiao's guide, one of his missions was to inform him of the situation of bandit ahead of him.
waiter was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, directly wetting his shirt.
'Great Hero Ling, this is obviously a misunderstanding. The waiter said with a trembling voice.
Ling Xiao looked at the empty stronghold in front of him, slightly raising his eyebrows, but did not say a word.
Seeing that, waiter explained: "Look, the stronghold is very clean, the floor is swept very cleanly, one could tell that there are people living here, but there is no one here, it is obvious that they have escaped."
"Oh? "Then what you mean is, blame me?" Ling Xiao said indifferently as he turned his head to look at waiter.
Hearing this, waiter immediately revealed a crying face, "Great Hero Ling, how can I blame you? You are too powerful, they don't dare to face you."
"Alright, let them clean it up and continue on their way." Seeing that, Ling Xiao lost his interest in teasing, and waved his hand.
When waiter heard this, he immediately felt like he had escaped from death. After taking a deep breath, he pretended to be calm and left, but his legs continued to tremble non-stop.
It had to be known that from the Green Dragon Gang's side, there had not been a single correct guidance and prompt since then, so following the increasing number of mistakes, the waiter's heart had naturally become more and more restless. After all, if he angered Ling Xiao, the consequences would be dire.
But not long after, Ling Xiao saw waiter and Zhang Xiaolong return together, and their faces did not look too good, as though something bad had happened.
"What happened?" Ling Xiao asked.
Zhang Xiaolong glanced at waiter, then took a step forward and said, "Great Hero Ling, we searched through the entire village, but didn't manage to find anything good. Furthermore, we only found worthless trash and moldy food in places like the warehouse, it seems like these bandit s took these good stuff along with them before they escaped."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao could not help but stare, and laughed without showing any emotion: "Interesting, looks like this group of bandit are going to cause some trouble."
When Zhang Xiaolong and the waiter heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Obviously, they didn't understand what Ling Xiao meant.
"Alright, since there's nothing else, let's continue on our way." With a wave of his hand, Ling Xiao got up and walked towards his personal sedan.
This sedan chair was something Ling Xiao had plundered from a bandit's nest.
He knew what was good, and this sedan chair was one of them. Not only was he not harmed in the slightest, he was even raised in an exquisite manner, probably not much different from the palanquins in the palace.
He also didn't know which official and noble this fearless bandit was looted from.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was not angry at all, waiter was instead at a loss. It was precisely because he was afraid that Ling Xiao would angrily blame him that he thought of a way to pull Zhang Xiaolong over.
"Look at you making such a big fuss over nothing, isn't everything alright?" Zhang Xiaolong shook his head and said as he looked at the waiter who was still in a daze.
Zhang Xiaolong was also somewhat pitiful of the waiter because he could feel how Ling Xiao treated him. The treatment between him and the waiter was completely different, it could be said to be like the heaven and the earth, and it was exactly like this.
Hearing that, waiter frowned, but he still had a look of disbelief: "That's not right, every time I didn't do anything well, Great Hero Ling would always have a cold face, why is it that when you're by my side, I don't have this kind of attitude anymore?"
After muttering to himself for a while, waiter raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaolong with a face full of jealousy: "It must be because of you, that caused me to encounter such a terrible situation, and it was also because of that group of bandit that I was unable to return home.
Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolong immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Great Hero Ling doesn't look like an unreasonable person, if you didn't do anything wrong, he wouldn't have treated you coldly."
Hearing that, waiter was startled, as though he had thought of something, and his eyes dimmed after a while. He let out a heavy sigh and said: "Perhaps what you said was true, I had done wrong before, but in reality it is all self-inflicted harm, it is time to repay the debt."
Zhang Xiaolong didn't understand what waiter had done wrong. He walked up and patted waiter's shoulders and said: "Since Great Hero Ling left you alive, it means that you definitely have a reason to live. Maybe this is your chance."
Hearing Zhang Xiaolong's sincere words, waiter was immediately moved. He nodded and said, "That's right, I should properly reflect on myself, and not only think about escaping."
On the palanquin not far from where Zhang Xiaolong was, Ling Xiao heard the conversation between Zhang Xiaolong and the waiter very clearly. Although he did not think that the waiter would be able to recuperate, knowing about Zhang Xiaolong's kind heart was not bad news.
"Get up!" With waiter's shout, everyone continued to majestically move forward.
They had already traveled more than half the way, and there were still about four or five days left before they reached the Fujian. However, there were still no movements, and everyone thought that the bandit had escaped because he was afraid of Ling Xiao.
However, just when everyone thought that they could take the next step, the bandit suddenly appeared in front of them. They formed a large group and surrounded them in a black mass.
These people looked three to four times more than the Green Dragon Gang. It seemed like they were an alliance formed by all the large and small bandit gangs.
