Chapter 139 The Robber
After two hours of travel, Ling Hao and others arrived at the first stop on the road, Shicheng Town.
"You have finally arrived. I've been waiting here for a long time. Please follow me." As soon as he entered the town, someone came up and enthusiastically took the group to an inn in the town to rest.
"Are you?" Ling Hao was puzzled.
"Hello, Vice President Ling. I was sent by Dishui College to call you. The man said respectfully.
Hearing the man's answer, Ling Hao did not say anything. In the inn, the meals and accommodation of a group of people are properly arranged, and even there are several plans to choose from after-dinner activities.
Looking at Ling Hao's gloomy face and sitting without saying a word, Eliza turned her head and said to the waiter standing around and said, "Ok, there's nothing to do with you. You go down."
After Elisa sent away all the service staff, she looked at Ling Hao and asked with concern, "Brother, what's on your mind?"
Ling Hao was in a good mood. He talked and laughed with everyone all the way, but since he entered this inn, he has been in a bad mood.
"Is it because the service attitude of this hotel is not good?" Alisa guessed, and Ling Hao shook her head.
"Is it because the taste of the dish doesn't suit your appetite?" Nia also guessed, and Ling Hao shook his head.
"Are you dissatisfied with the accommodation arrangement?" After Ji Yunzhi asked, her cheeks turned red. The inn now arranges one bedroom for each person. If Ling Hao is not satisfied, how to arrange it? No wonder after Ji Yunzhi asked, she felt embarrassed. Unfortunately, Ling Hao still shook his head.
Seeing that no one thought of it, Ling Hao couldn't help sighing in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Liya said Ling Hao's feelings: "Brother, do you think the arrangement here is too thoughtful?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Is it really for this reason? They looked at Ling Hao one after another to see how he made a statement.
"Well, it seems that Liya knows the eldest brother best." Ling Hao sighed.
After being praised by Ling Hao, Li Ya suddenly became embarrassed.
"Brother, why do you think the arrangement is too thoughtful?" Situ Yinghao asked puzzledly.
"What are we doing here this time?" Ling Hao asked.
"Of course it's a tour." Situ Yinghao didn't even think about it and replied.
"Did every tour in the past be carried out like this? According to the selected route, is there anyone who arranges everything in advance on the road? Ling Hao asked strangely.
When he got an affirmative answer from everyone, he was dissatisfied: "Can this be called a tour? This is simply a tour of mountains and rivers. Every day, I just look at the scenery on the road. In the evening, I go to the arranged place to eat and sleep. This kind of travel is better than studying behind closed doors in the college.
"I can't help it. Every time I participate in the tour, it is the elites of the four colleges. The four colleges can't afford the cost of the elites in the tour. If you don't arrange it carefully, the people above are worried. Valia sighed, and her words revealed the reason for this strange situation.
"I know, it's getting late. You all go to bed early. We'll be on our way early tomorrow morning." After Ling Hao finished speaking, he took the lead in walking to the room that had been arranged.
The next morning.
Accompanied by the receptionist, Ling Hao and his party walked out of Shicheng Town. Looking at the two roads outside the town, Ling Hao asked the receptionist, "Which route is arranged?"
"According to the arranged route, you take the road to the west. In that direction, there will be a next town to rest in less than half a day, where our people are waiting for you. The receptionist replied respectfully.
Looking at the respectful receptionist, Ling Hao said politely, "Oh, thank you. However, there is one thing that I would like to trouble you to run.
Ling Hao's thanks made the receptionist flattered and quickly said, "Please say it."
"Please go and talk to the receptionist at the next reception point and say that we will not follow the original route and ask them not to prepare." Ling Hao's words were beyond everyone's expectation.
"Ah! Vice President Ling, this is not good. The route of the tour has been arranged, and it is very troublesome to change it temporarily. The receptionist persuaded.
"If you go there, just tell them that all the receptions arranged later will be cancelled. If they ask, you can say that it's my decision. If you have any questions, ask Xue Yifeng. Ling Hao threw the trouble directly to Xue Yifeng to deal with it.
"Let's go!" Ling Hao took everyone on another road to the east.
Looking at Ling Hao's insistence on taking the team and disappearing in the rising sun, the receptionist collapsed to the ground like a discouraged ball. If Dishui College knows that the traveling team has deviated from the original route from the reception point they are responsible for, they will definitely think that it is because of their poor hospitality that the traveling students have made such a choice, then their position must be guaranteed. Thinking of this, he wants to cry.
Although he is worried about his future, he still has to report this situation to Dishui College as soon as possible. He immediately sent two groups of people, one went to the next station to inform, and the other group rushed back to Dishui College to report the situation as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Xue Yifeng learned that this situation did not make him angry, so that his position could be preserved.
Because Ling Hao changed the route of travel, he is not the only one who feels pain. In the small town, some people are distressed by Ling Hao's sudden change of itinerary.
Wu Zihong is one of them. He looks thirty-five or six years old. He is a secret member of the Crazy Lion Gang, a famous robber group in Dishui Tes. He disguises himself as a civilian or a businessman all year round, specializing in spying, stepping on and other work to collect intelligence for the Crazy Lion Gang. Not long ago, there was a piece of news circulating in Dishuites that some of the students who visited the four colleges and universities were carrying artifacts.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this news attracted the attention of several large gangs on the underworld. They all wanted to intercept Ling Hao and his party before other gangs.
Coincidentally, the eyeliner arranged by the Crazy Lion Gang in Dishui College got the road map of Ling Hao and others, and they got the most precious treasure. In order to avoid many long dreams at night, they set up an ambush on the way to Shicheng Town for an hour after planning. He was ready to plunder when Ling Hao and his party passed by.
Wu Zihong watched Ling Hao and others walk out of the town in the dark, but instead of following the original route, he walked eastward. Knowing that something was wrong, he hurried to the place where the Lions were ambushed to inform him.
The mad lion gang ambushed in a forest by a small river, and the robbers who are used to this kind of business hide in the woods. Use the shadows of trees and various covers to hide their whereabouts just right.
The thunder leopard, the owner of the Crazy Lion Gang, is hiding in a big tree, with a dead grass in his mouth, and is boringly counting the knowledge on the tree. The thunder leopard looks about forty years old, with a strong figure and a fierce appearance. Thunder Leopard is not his real name. This nickname was given by people in the underworld. He even forgot his real name. The word "Thunder Leopard" means that his voice is loud enough and grumpy.
Seeing Wu Zihong appearing far away on the horizon, the robber in charge of contact quickly reminded Lei Bao: "Master, Lao Wu is here!"
Hearing Wu Zihong coming back, the thunder leopard spit out the dead grass in his mouth and straightened up.
"Brothers! Ready, the target is coming!" The thunder leopard shouted, and the originally depressed robber suddenly came to his senses.
"Master! Master!" Before Wu Zihong arrived, the shouting had spread to the woods.
"What the fuck, Lao Wu, what is this old man doing?" The thunder leopard's fire punched the tree trunk. Didn't it obviously expose their hiding?
Wu Zihong came to the woods. Before he could get off the horse, the thunder leopard's loud voice sounded: "Lao Wu, what are you doing? People who are afraid of the target and don't know us are hiding here!"
After taking a breath, Wu Zihong said, "My master! They all went to the east! It's useless for you and your brothers to ambush here.
"What! Do you think they went to the east side? The thunder leopard grabbed Wu Zihong's collar and pulled him in front of him and asked.
"Yes! That's why I came to inform everyone in a hurry. Wu Zihong said with a red face. The thunder leopard was so strong that he almost couldn't breathe.
"Dog! Come here for me." The thunder leopard loosened the collar he was holding. Wu Zihong stepped back a few steps, sat low on his buttocks, and took a big breath of air.
"Master, what are you calling me?" A middle-aged man with an obscene appearance, his tongue turned out, and his mouth was constantly salivating.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say they were going to take this road today? What about people now? How can I go to the east side of the road? The thunder leopard said, slapped the back of the dog's head fiercely.
"Big boss! When Huang reported this to me, you were also present! I didn't lie to you!" The dog covered his head and said aggrievedly.
"Yes, it was true that there was nothing wrong with this line at that time." The thunder leopard carefully recalled the situation at that time, and the dog did not hide or cheat.
"Is it the route they changed temporarily?" Wu Zihong recalled the situation at the entrance of the small town at that time and couldn't help saying.
"Do they know that we are ambushed here?" The thunder leopard was shocked: "Will anyone, brothers, have leaked the news?"
"I don't look like..." Wu Zihong described the situation at that time.
"Big boss, this is not the time to think about this. They are going east. We have to catch up quickly. Otherwise, it will be out of our territory!" The dog hurried aside.
The dog woke up the dreamer with a word, and the thunder leopard raised his arm and shouted, "Brothers, take the guy! Let's catch up."
The robbers came out of the hiding place one after another. At a glance, the number of people was nearly 1,000. No wonder the evil party had not been eliminated.
"Big boss, there is a path in the woods. We can take shortcuts and rush to them." The dog proposed.
Thinking for a moment, the thunder leopard said, "Well, take your agile brother and go first." Although the path is difficult to walk, it is a lot closer. My brothers had to take a shortcut to catch up with others riding on their legs alone.
"Okay, good-handed brother, come with me first." The dog picked out a group of agile people from the robbers and got into the woods first.
