Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 6: Bandits' Night Attack
The inn no longer had the storyteller Old Man Sun, but it still had the erhu-playing Old Man Wu.

Old Man Wu was a wandering craftsman with no fixed place to live. He ended up in Taiping Town half a month ago and was begging for food by playing the erhu on the street.

I don't know if it was luck that turned out for him, but this skilled old man was discovered by Chao Yiliu who happened to pass by. Chao Yiliu then paid a large sum of money to invite him to perform in his inn.

Now, half a month has passed, and Old Man Wu's erhu music has become a major attraction in the first-class inn.

Although Old Wu is a blind man, he plays the erhu really well. His music is mournful, melancholy, weeping, complaining, resentful and longing, which has attracted many customers here.

Therefore, some people who like to gossip praise it, saying that in the past there was 'Sun Shuao was raised in the sea, Baili Xi was raised in the market', and now there is 'Old man Wu lives in Taiping', which can be regarded as a good topic after dinner.

Bang——! ! !
Suddenly, a loud kick on the door, like a thunder, interrupted Lao Wu's performance and woke up the diners who were listening with rapt attention.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, they heard a noisy sound of footsteps. Then a group of burly men in black clothes and holding swords filed in from the door of the first-class inn and quickly occupied the entire inn.

"what happened??"

Lu Ping raised his head and looked around, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

I saw that outside the inn, a group of ferocious and hideous men had gathered there without me noticing!
Some of them were holding torches for lighting, some were holding weapons with fierce looks in their eyes, and some were pulling carts to move goods. A group of them were shouting and yelling, and the sound was deafening.

It only took Lu Ping a second to react to the situation.

Robbery! This is robbery!!
Lu Ping was shocked. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing. He turned around and looked at the people in the inn...

My goodness, most of them had already left!
The waiter on duty and the diners who did not return home overnight, seeing the thieves coming with such force, all ran towards the back door of the inn in a panic.

In the blink of an eye, the only people left in the inn besides himself were the blind musician and his waiter Xiaobai who was so scared that he could not walk.

"Don't move! If you don't want to die, raise your hands and squat together!!"

The leader who broke into the inn was rude and chopped the main beam of the inn with a knife. Then he kicked the table in front of him and showed a cold steel knife, which made people shudder.

“Come…someone come!!”

Xiaobai was stunned for a long while, and finally realized that the person coming was not friendly, and quickly shouted for help.

As the highest-end inn in Taiping Town, a first-class inn naturally requires guards.

However, as soon as the cry for help was uttered, several guards who used to maintain the safety of the inn were thrown in from outside the door and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, a sturdy man as big as a pig strode in with his fists clenched, cursing as if he was not satisfied with the fight.

"What kind of guard is this? He can't even take a punch from me!"

The guards of the first-class inn were all over 1.8 meters tall and muscular, typical handsome men. They also had weapons in their hands, but at this moment they were all beaten black and blue, lying on the ground wailing.

“Hurry… run…!! They are bandits from the Black Wind Village! Hurry and notify the authorities…!!”

Lu Ping's eyes twitched, and he was speechless for a moment: This guard is still letting people run, can you please open your eyes and see clearly? Except for those who can't run and those who didn't run away, there is no one in this inn.

But... Black Wind Village?!
Lu Ping had heard of this name. The wanted poster for bandits issued by the government was posted on the road he had to take every day when he went out.

Just like there is no wife in the wife cake, the area around Taiping Town is actually not peaceful. About 20 miles west of Taiping Town, there is a Black Wind Mountain, on which there is a Black Wind Village. It is said that there are as many as 800 green forests gathered in the village.

These bandits would come down the mountain to rob every now and then, causing great trouble to the government.

Although the government issued a wanted order for the leader, they were still unable to do anything about them. Fortunately, Black Wind Mountain was far away from Taiping Town, and there were several small towns in between, so this group of bandits basically never came here.

So why did they get here this time?!

In this area of ​​50 miles, Taiping Town is obviously the farthest from their stronghold! Could it be that the bandits have already looted all the other surrounding towns?

"The government? The government is useless!"

The sturdy man took a step forward arrogantly and stepped on the guard. "We have 300 people this time. How many constables can you have in Taiping Town?"

The guard snorted and stopped talking. Of course, the more likely possibility was that he was unable to speak.

In fact, the government office in Taiping Town is quite well equipped. The number of constables and detectives combined exceeds half a hundred. However, if the opponent is the eight hundred bandits in Black Wind Village, it will be somewhat stretched.

"Brother, if we had known that Taiping Town was so lucrative, we should have come here earlier!"

"It's not too late now!"

The bandit leader grinned grimly, strided forward on his horse with his sword drawn, and then waved behind him. His subordinates understood what he meant, blocked the two entrances and exits, and quickly swept the inn.

When bandits come down the mountain to extort money, they naturally go to good places. With the booming business of a first-class inn, it is inevitable that they will be targeted. However, in Lu Ping's memory, this seems to be the first time.

The bandits were rummaging through the inn looking for valuables, while their boss started clearing out the guests' unfinished food from table after table.

"I've come such a long way, I'm starving! Let's have some wine to appease our hunger first... hm?"

The bandit leader took a sip and suddenly frowned, then threw the jar of rice wine worth thirty cents on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Pah, pah, pah...what kind of rubbish is this?"

"First-class inn, it has a great reputation outside, but what happened? In such a good location and such a large inn, you only sell this kind of wine to your guests?"

The leader of the bandits, Wang Da Dangjia, had a reward of 800 taels of silver from the government. He was known as "Black Wind Mountain Bear Sorrow". He was a middle-aged man with a goatee, a wretched face, and a machete on his waist.

"Hey boy, bring me all the good wine and food in your inn!"

"Ah I??"

The unlucky guy who was called was Xiaobai.

"Of course it's you, who else? Be quick, or don't blame me for being merciless!"

Although Xiaobai was afraid when he heard this, he could only put on a sad face and, under the supervision of several bandits, went to the kitchen to get a jar of girl's red wine and presented it.

Bo~
As the cork was opened, the rich aroma of wine immediately spread throughout the tavern.
