Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three

"What?!" The mountain leopard suddenly jumped up as soon as he heard this and said angrily: "This dog official has made me suffer so much! I must peel him and get cramps to relieve my hatred!" As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and said to the Rattlesnake: "If you still treat me as your elder brother, lend me your soldiers. I will lead the troops to capture Gutian County and cut off the dog official's dog head to pay tribute to my brothers who died!..."

Of course, the Rattlesnake could not lend soldiers to Zhuanshan Leopard. He shook his head and smiled: "The city of Gutian County is high and thick, and it is not that easy to fight. Guo Zhiyuan only brought less than 200 regiments of rural soldiers to fight your village, and even made him successful. It means he is also a ruthless person. We should not provoke him... It's just that you are too careless. You actually treat the two hundred regiments of rural soldiers as the army of the prefect's office to clear the army. You ran away without even fighting. This is going to spread, it's really a joke!..."

Zhuanshanbao's face turned bad, and his face darkened, and he said coldly: "What do you mean? Look at my joke? Let me tell you, although I am in trouble now, not everyone can laugh at me. I crawled out of the pile of corpses back then. I haven't seen any scenes before? Don't make the wrong plan!..."

The Rattlesnake didn't want to tear each other with the Zhuanshan Leopard, so he quickly smiled and said, "Brother, what's this? Why would I laugh at you? Who in the world doesn't know that I, the Rattlesnake, are the most loyal! But it's really inappropriate to attack the county town. Brother, think about it, it's fine if we usually grab passers-by merchants and slaughter one or two villages. If we really want to defeat the county town, it will be like a rebellion. The prefect will definitely send a large army to clear it out. Isn't that uncomfortable?..."

The mountain leopard also knew that the Rattlesnake was right. Although he was tough just now, he was very arrogant. With his current military strength, he must have suffered the loss. Now that the Rattlesnake has given him enough face, he happened to take advantage of the donkey and slapped the table hard. He said unwillingly: "Brother is right, it's the eldest brother who is reckless. I just can't swallow this! The geese have never expected to be pecked by the geese all day long!..."

The Rattlesnake sneered secretly. The mountain leopard has fallen into this field and still shows off its mightyness. It is ridiculous! He smiled and comforted him: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let's make a fortune and accumulate strength first. Who can tell the truth about the future? Zhu Chongba (referring to Zhu Yuanzhang) was not the same as we did. If the ancestral tomb smokes, maybe we will also rob an emperor in the future. It's not easy to chop the head of a county magistrate?!"

This time it was the turn of the mountain leopard who secretly sneered. The rattlesnake was so arrogant that he actually wanted to be the emperor! He also became secretly alert in his heart, but he laughed and said, "Brother, you are so ambitious. I dare not think about being an emperor. I am satisfied to be able to survive in this mountain..."

The two of them were talking nonsense. At this time, another bandit came in and was about to come to the rattlesnake and say something. In order to paralyze the mountain leopard, the rattlesnake deliberately said, "If you have something to do, stand there and say, this is my elder brother, and you can't let him listen to anything!"

"Boss, there is news from the inspection department's eyeliner that in two days, a 'big fat sheep' will pass by us, bringing a lot of wealth and escort force, and the guards are not strong. Only less than a hundred bodyguards have been hired..." The bandit said happily.

The Rattlesnake wanted to kill the bandit. If he had known this, he would not have let him say it in front of the Zangshan Leopard. But now the Zangshan Leopard already knew it, so he could only pretend to be generous: "Brother, look at what I said, the one who gave us money! Brother, I don't eat alone, let's do this business together, and we will snatch the two or five more money we have earned, how about it?..."

Zhuanshanbao frowned and said suspiciously: "Is it a coincidence that I just got copied from the cottage and there was news that the 'big fat sheep' passed? Will there be a fraud?"

The Rattlesnake laughed and said, "Brother, have you been scared by Guo Zhiyuan?! Chen Xiaodong from the Inspection Department and the new County Magistrate Guo were not on the same journey. How could he cooperate with him to cheat us? He is not afraid of us taking revenge and killing his whole family afterwards?! He sent us a message a few times or two, what are the benefits of selling us? Besides, because your copycat was just copied by Guo's surname, he had to breathe a sigh of relief, right? If the brother is afraid that he would not go, I will take over the business by myself!..."

Zhuanshanbao thought about it and felt that what the Rattlesnake said was indeed reasonable. In addition, he was short of money now, and the gold, silver and treasures accumulated over the years were all cheap. Guo Zhiyuan had to get the money as soon as possible to regroup and recruit soldiers, otherwise he would be swallowed up by the Rattlesnake soon. He was so excited that he gritted his teeth and said, "I have done this business, but we have to bring more soldiers. Even if the one named Guo is cheating, we are not afraid of him!"

Finally, with the insistence of Zhuanshan Leopard, the Rattlesnake sent more than 600 troops, while Zhuanshan Leopard brought all his subordinates, gathering a total of 1,000 people, leaving only more than 300 Rattlesnakes to guard the mountain village, which was almost equivalent to being dispatched in full swing. This was also the looting operation with the largest number of bandits in Gutian County in history!

The Rattlesnake originally thought that the Mountain Leopard was just a big deal. Does it take a thousand bandits to deal with a caravan with less than 100 guards? This Mountain Leopard was really scared! But the Mountain Leopard sent all his subordinates, and it was hard to send too few of them, otherwise he would not be able to steal the Mountain Leopard when robbing things. After all, the Mountain Leopard had been a navy leader, and his bandits under his command were much stronger than ordinary bandits. If he did not have a double advantage in military strength, the Rattlesnake was not sure that he could rob the Mountain Leopard. This is one of the reasons why he did not immediately swallow the Mountain Leopard. If he fights the Mountain Leopard now, he will be greatly damaged.

On the third day, the "big fat sheep" was passed by as mentioned in the information. Early in the morning, the mountain leopard and the rattlesnake took a thousand bandits to ambush the caravan's must-pass road. The mountain leopard was very cautious and sent his subordinates to the hills around to check if there was any ambush. As a result, nothing was discovered and the rattlesnake sneered again.
