Chen Ming's heart trembled.

Fortunately, it was completely dark now, so he was less likely to be spotted as he walked through the forest.

Immediately, he quickly got off his horse and tied the three horses to the tree on the spot.

After thinking about it, he pulled a large amount of weeds from nearby and fed them to the horses' mouths, just in case the three guys were hungry after running around all night, and it would be troublesome to scream later.

After doing all this, Chen Ming quietly touched it.

With his stealth skills, the scattered voices by the river did not notice his approach at all. Even though it was the dead of night, any slightest movement would be amplified.

After slowly approaching, Chen Ming hid behind a big tree, looking towards the river with only one eye exposed.

many people!

This section of the river bank was quite long, but when Chen Ze looked at it, he couldn't see the end in the dark night.

There was no tent or anything like that. What he could see was that everyone was gathered around their own fires, warming their bodies with the flames that were still dying. Many people were already sleeping soundly, while others were sleeping soundly.

People were drinking, talking and laughing, which is where the faint human voices heard before came from.

In addition to the people staggering around, Chen Ming also saw a lot of carriages parked nearby, and one was very close to him. He looked down and saw from the traces of the wheels that it was following him all the way.

There are countless traces that match it.

Are you catching up now?

Chen Ming was overjoyed and did not rush to contact Chen Ze. Instead, he focused on observing by himself.

Not long after, he discovered that these bandits did not wear uniform clothes, nor did they have any marks on their bodies. It could be said that there was nothing that could prove their identity.

On the contrary, some bandits looked slovenly and slovenly, but they were dressed in brocade clothes and satin, which seemed rather nondescript.

Yes.

Chen Ming nodded, mentally confirming the identities of these people.

Those ill-fitting clothes were presumably robbed from various cities.

After watching for a while and confirming that these people were defenseless, Chen Ming saw someone who was clearly drunk and staggering towards him, thinking he wanted to go to the woods for a convenience.

"snort!"

Chen Ming snorted coldly, hid his figure and waited for him to approach. He had already detected it with a sliding step, and then without any reaction from the other party, he cut the latter's neck with a palm knife.

"Well!"

The man didn't expect such a move, so he only had time to let out a muffled groan before he fell to the ground.

Chen Ming didn't move slowly. He held it up with one hand, and even when the man fell to the ground, he didn't disturb his companions who were still drinking and laughing in the other compartment.

Then he dragged him behind a tree, stripped off his clothes and put them on himself, then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and wiped it on his face.

This time, Chen Ming completely changed his appearance.

After adjusting like this, he walked out from behind the tree, stretching while walking, showing that he was extremely sleepy.

He muttered vaguely: "I'm sleepy, so I won't drink anymore."

As he spoke, he walked straight to the foot of a nearby tree, fell down and fell asleep, ignoring the shouts of his companions.

And it's not just him.

It was now the middle of the night. After drinking for a while, those people felt sleepy and dispersed hastily.

Until then, when no one spoke anymore, Chen Ming, who seemed to have fallen asleep, slowly stood up.

I looked around and saw no one was awake anymore.

I also felt funny in my heart.

These guys, are they serious about not even leaving any guards alone, and just sleeping all over the floor like this?

It was funny, but he wasn't careless. He still maintained enough vigilance and slowly searched the river bank that could barely be regarded as a camp.

The reason why Chen Ming did this was because he was ambitious.

In addition to the method mentioned by Chen Ze, Chen Ming also had his own ideas to prevent these bandits from reaching their destination.

That is……

If the leader of the rogue bandits was beheaded here, what impact would it have on them?

First of all, one thing that is very clear is that based on what Chen Ming saw with his own eyes, there were so many heavy carriages, so a lot of property was taken away.

So in fact, at this time, the people's hearts are at their most distracted.

I have money in my hand!

If you have money, why would you eat and sleep in the open?

If you have money, why bother hiding?

Keeping this in hand and not spending it is simply not in line with their character!

So, these people can still tolerate it until now and walk all the way to the stronghold. It has to be said that the leader of this bandit must have put in a lot of effort.

It can also be said that the other person's personality charm is too great and can force people to gather together.

But what if he died?

As the saying goes, a group of dragons has no leader.

If the leader dies, the people in this team will be in chaos.

And it happens to be such a team with a lot of money on hand.

Can they still bear it?

Why don't we separate on the spot and go our separate ways?

Chen Ming didn’t believe it anyway.

But although he was ambitious, he was not as ambitious as Tang Tianxing and his son. Chen Ming respected Chen Ze very much in his heart.

So it seems that he is a little willful, but in fact he is not.

He just suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity, so he wanted to give it a try. If it worked, he would give up. He had no intention of proving himself forcefully.

With this thought, Chen Ming felt relaxed and just walked around along the river bank.

However, he discovered that there seemed to be no difference between the people here, whether they were pawns or leaders.

Unlike military camps, most generals with military rank will have a tent to live in, and most soldiers will also have one. But if there is no such condition, it will definitely be the soldiers and not the generals who sleep in the open air.

But Chen Ming carefully swam along the river bank for a long time, but he didn't find a single tent.

Looking around, there is no difference between them. They are all people lying on the spot around the fire. It is not possible to tell who is the soldier and who is the general.

This is troublesome.

Chen Ming smiled bitterly.

He just had such an idea, but it seemed that it would be too difficult for him to identify who was the leader of these bandits in this confused and disorderly situation.

If the young master is here...

Chen Ming couldn't help but think of Chen Ze.

He believed that if Chen Ze were here, he would have a way to find the bandit leader or force him to reveal himself.

But I can't do it myself.

After thinking for a while, he disappeared into the darkness again, and then he began to call Chen Ze in his heart.

Chen Ming didn't know that the system existed, but Chen Ze said at the beginning that if he wanted to contact him, he could just say it silently in his heart.

This trick has been tried and tested many times and has never failed.

So soon, Chen Ming heard Chen Ze's slightly bumpy voice.

Chen Ming was not the only one who was still awake in the night.
