Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

After turning a bend in the mountain, we saw thirty or forty warriors riding tall horses and holding swords rushing out first. Each of these warriors wore a bronze helmet and a full set of bright armor, looking majestic and menacing.

Behind the mounted warriors followed about a hundred trotting soldiers, all holding tasselless spears, also wearing bronze helmets and breastplates, but the style of the bronze helmets was different from that of the warriors in front, and a golden bird feather was inserted into them.

Chu Xiaomu had heard from Yu Aqi that the soldiers with golden bird feathers on their heads were the Golden Feather Army of Jinyang City. There were four major armies in Jinyang City, distinguished by the color of the bird feathers on their helmets: gold, purple, yellow, and white.

All the slaves looked at this group of warriors in bright armor and armed with swords and spears, and then looked at their own side, all of whom were pale and thin with thin arms and legs. They thought that if it were not for the ambush and sneak attack, they really didn't know how to fight against them.

Chu Xiaomu whispered, "These people from Jinyang City may look powerful, but they are actually a mob. There is no need to be afraid of them." Everyone felt a little relieved.

The first group of warriors rode forward on their horses, and the leading ones were still talking loudly.

A soldier on horseback said, "Pang Shisan, you are too useless. A few slaves actually defeated you, the thirteenth disciple of the Golden Sword and Black Sword. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid you will lose your job as a martial arts leader."

The other man laughed and said, "Pang Shisan, I think you have to pay a little this time. Invite all the brothers here to the city for a good meal, otherwise this matter will be spread sooner or later."

Pang Shisan snorted and said, "There are 2,000 of them, and my group of brothers is only about 30 people. If there weren't so many of them, hmph... if you have the ability, just send 30 people to fight them."

The soldier laughed and said, "It was just a joke, why do you take it so seriously? But the young master was careless this time, thinking that a few supervisors could manage so many slaves."

Pang Shisan snorted again and said, "She always looked down on our original methods, thinking that everyone would listen to her if she gave us some small favors. But how could these slaves be so cunning and sly? If they were not disciplined by severe punishments, how could they be obedient? Look, isn't this a big deal?"

The soldier said, "The young lady even came here to issue a new decree, one of which is that 'after a slave has made meritorious service, the slave contract can be torn up and he will be free'. This is really hard to understand. I heard that she even took off her attendant's clothes and gave them to a dog slave. It really pissed me off..."

Pang Shisan said, "It's just a few tricks to win people's hearts and minds, so that everyone will listen to her. That kid looks like a decent person..." Suddenly he thought, "Could it be that she wants to deal with our Golden Sword Sect? We must be on guard. Once the matter here is resolved, we must quickly report to Master and tell him to be careful of this girl."

"So, the young lady is deliberately giving us credit? Maybe we can get a sword from Wuhuang Tower and get an official position. At least we can drink with her. Her little face, tsk tsk..."

"You already have three or four sons and daughters, so don't dream about it. Be careful or the city lord will give you a 'Grizzle Monkey'!"

"We can't think of it, let alone you from the Golden Sword Sect! The young master has high standards."

As they were talking, the soldiers crossed a stone bridge that was more than ten feet high. The soldier looked at the dilapidated bridge surface and the jagged rocks under the bridge and said, "This stone bridge is so dilapidated, we should capture some slaves to repair it."

Pang Shisan said, "It's time to repair it. I'm always nervous every time I pass by it. Once the young master's goods are delivered, I'll bring a hundred slaves to repair the bridge."

The soldier said, "Let's go faster. If all the slaves hide in the mountains, it will be hard to catch them in a short time." He whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse rushed out. Everyone shouted and followed.

After running for about twenty feet, there was suddenly a loud cracking sound, and people and horses fell down rapidly. With the neighing and screaming of horses, the five or six horses in the front fell into the trap at the same time, and the dozen horses behind were not in a hurry to stop, and fell down together.

The trap was densely packed with sharp wooden stakes. More than half of the warriors and horses that fell into it had their intestines pierced and died, while the remaining few cried for their parents and were injured.

The trap is very deep and once you fall into it you will not be able to climb out.

The soldiers were still in shock when hundreds of huge rocks rolled down from the mountains on both sides with a deafening sound that echoed throughout the valley.

Although these people were wearing armor and breastplates, the huge rocks weighing hundreds or thousands of pounds rolled down from a height, and the force was more than a thousand pounds. They only broke their legs and arms, and their heads were bleeding. In an instant, more than half of the soldiers were killed or seriously injured, and their bodies were scattered all over the ground.

The rest were terrified and cried for a place to hide, but there was only a small path about ten feet wide in the valley, with extremely steep slopes on both sides and some short trees and weeds growing on them, making it impossible to escape.

The remaining thirty-four soldiers saw that the road ahead was blocked and large rocks were rolling down the hillsides on both sides, so they had no choice but to flee back up the mountain. But after running a few steps, a larger rock rolled down from the top of the mountain with overwhelming force, landing right on the stone bridge and breaking it into two pieces, leaving a gap more than ten feet wide in the middle.

The soldiers had nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. They huddled together, panicking like dogs that had lost their masters, howling like monsters without nests. Some of the timid ones even dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy. The slaves didn't care about that, and then rolled down huge rocks in rows, killing most of the soldiers instantly.

After Pang Shisan fell into the trap, he fell on the warrior in front of him, but luckily he survived, only slightly injured his left arm. Seeing the large and small stones rolling down from the mountain, he pressed himself against the wall of the trap, and no more stones could hit him.

The rocks rolled for a short while before they gradually stopped rolling. Hundreds of people on the hilltops on both sides cheered and shouted as they ran down the mountain.

When Pang Shisan saw that these people were wearing short blue cloth jackets and had red, black and green cloth strips on their heads, he thought to himself, "We've really fallen into the trap of those dog-born slaves!" He thought quickly and cut off several pieces of reins from the horse's bridle to make a long piece. He threw it into the trap and put it on the head of a horse that was killed by a stone, and then hurriedly climbed out.

Seeing that there was still a horse that had not been killed by the rock, he secretly prayed to God for protection, climbed onto the horse's back, and gave it a hard slap on the buttocks. The horse immediately galloped away, carrying him back the way they came.

Suddenly, he saw that the stone bridge in front of him had broken into two pieces, and he was immediately shocked and broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the horse was very strong, and it pushed its four legs hard, leaped through the gap, and landed steadily on the opposite side.
