Chapter 242: Horsemen and Bandits Fight
But if he didn't take it, he would feel hot again.
He took the water bottle from his waist, took a big sip of water, then walked to Yun Huizhou, hugged Yun Huizhou and rubbed him hard.
Yun Huizhou smiled and asked him, "What are you doing?"
Lian Li held him tightly and refused to let go: "My internal energy is running out, it's too hot, I'm holding you to cool you down."
Yun Huizhou hugged him back and transferred his internal energy into him to make him feel cooler.
After the two hugged each other for a while, Lian Li felt a little recovered and let go of Yun Huizhou.
"Have we wiped out this group of bandits?" Lian Li asked.
Unexpectedly, Yun Huizhou shook his head and said, "This is only a small part. The larger bandits here have several thousand people, and the smaller ones have about 500 people. So when they were about to escape, I had to pull you to keep them all."
"You don't want us to be surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of bandits one day."
Lian Li thought about that scenario.
To be honest, if the South Island Lord didn't take action, he and Yun Huizhou could still handle a few hundred horse bandits together. If there were thousands of them...
All I can say is, Yun Huizhou, you work hard, and I will die first.
The more than forty horse bandits who were sent out to rob them were dead, but they were out to rob and they would not have carried much valuables on them.
The most valuable things are their weapons and horses.
Although Yun Huizhou and Lian Li consciously did not kill the horses, wanting to keep them alive and sell them, many horses still died.
Among the living horses, many have lost control and have long since disappeared.
So far, they have been able to bring back less than ten horses.
The weapons won't run away, but they've been chasing us all the way, and it'll take a lot of time to collect them all.
Thinking of this, Lian Li couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little guilty.
Yun Huizhou was used to it. It was impossible to get all of them.
The two men picked up all the nearby weapons. Excluding those that were broken during the fight, there were more than twenty heavy iron swords in total.
When Lian Li got the weapons in his hands, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that these bandits were really rich. Although these weapons were not as good as those of the army, each bandit had one.
These horse bandits are probably not as large as the army. If they were to suddenly integrate together one day, it would be a huge hidden danger.
However, the living environment in this area is relatively harsh, and it is difficult to form such a large scale.
But once the horse bandits form a large-scale group, the only option left is to send out the army to suppress them.
This brings us to another issue: this place is a lawless area.
Which army should be assigned to take charge?
While Lian Li and Yun Huizhou were carrying the weapons in the bandits' clothes, he was thinking about things that had nothing to do with him as a man of the underworld.
After collecting all the weapons and tying them to the horses' backs, Yun Huizhou and Lian Li each picked a horse and prepared to return to the small town on the edge to deal with the things in their hands.
There are also people who were spying on them in the small town who need to be dealt with as well.
This is to prevent those people from seeing them return safely and bringing back the bandits' belongings, and then reporting the news to the bandits' lair.
However, if it is a small-scale bandit den, it doesn’t matter if they go to report the news.
It is safer to let the bandits come out and cause trouble for them themselves than for them to rob the bandits' den.
Yun Huizhou was thinking in his mind whether he should release one person and then follow to see whether it was a big bandit or a small bandit.
The two of them walked slowly back along the way they came.
Lian Li rode on his horse with his eyes closed, recovering his internal strength.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked in one direction and said, "Yun Huizhou, did you hear that?"
Yun Huizhou said, "I heard some fighting. It sounds like bandits are showing up again."
Lian Li felt that his internal strength had almost recovered, so he said, "Should we go over and take a look?"
Yun Huizhou turned his horse around and said, "Let's go. If the bandits are fighting each other, we can find an opportunity to pick up some bargains. If the bandits are robbing a caravan, we can not only sell these horses and weapons directly, but also earn a thank-you fee."
Yun Huizhou didn't care much about money before, but after getting to know Lian Li, he found that this guy loved money very much, and subconsciously began to have the awareness of making money.
Especially after he became engaged to Lian Li, he became more determined to make more money and support Lian Li.
The two men found a huge stone, took out the horse bandit's knife, used their internal force to insert it into the stone, and then tied the horses to the knife.
The horses had been pacified, and now the ropes would not be cut by the blade as long as one did not tug hard in a frightened manner.
After arranging the small amount of money, the two men ran as fast as possible in the direction where the fighting sounds came from.
What disappointed Yun Huizhou was that it was two gangs of bandits fighting each other, not bandits robbing a caravan.
Lian Li didn't think so. He felt that it was fortunate that the two gangs of horse bandits were fighting each other. If the caravan encountered the horse bandits, even if they came to support, the caravan would definitely suffer casualties.
Since it was a fight between two gangs of horse bandits, the two men were not in a hurry to leave. They planned to wait until the fight was almost over before taking action.
The two men lay on the sand dune and looked down.
The two gangs of horse bandits had about the same number of people, totaling more than two hundred people.
When horse bandits go out for patrol and looting, there are usually only about 40 or 50 of them. With this number of people, their horses, equipment, and the fact that everyone knows some martial arts, they are already a very terrifying force.
It is definitely enough to rob ordinary caravans, but they will not directly attack a particularly powerful caravan with hundreds of guards and people with high martial arts skills.
Instead, just watch it first and then call everyone over.
It is really a rare thing to see two groups of hundreds of people wandering around at once.
The two groups must have been fighting for a while. There were already many horses and corpses of horse bandits lying on the ground. Some horses had their legs chopped off. The horses were lying on the ground struggling in pain, but they were not dead yet.
It was already afternoon when Lian Li and Yun returned to the boat, and it was already late after they dealt with the group of horse bandits.
At this moment, after squatting on the sand dune for a while, I felt the sun was getting a little west.
More than half of the two gangs of horse bandits had been killed or wounded, but they still showed no intention of stopping and withdrawing.
Logically speaking, even if there are grudges between the bandits, they would never do such a thing as hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of their own when fighting.
They are all looking for opportunities to use their numbers against the fewer and annihilate the enemy at the lowest cost.
Moreover, the horse bandits each have their own territories and generally will not fight each other.
The current situation of these two gangs of horse bandits is somewhat abnormal.
"No." Yun Huizhou suddenly said, "There should be three gangs of horse bandits."
