Accidentally killing two traitors and Japanese was just a small matter for the entire bandit camp.
Even the next day, someone who went to the toilet in a daze found the two lying at the bottom of the pit, but they just recognized them in surprise and cursed them with bad luck.
No one thought of getting the bodies of the two people up to verify the cause of death, let alone investigating the matter.
It was in the morning that Wang Wu found out that the two idiots who tried to rob him last night were dead.
After learning the news, he felt uneasy in the camp for a while, but found that no one came to ask him for questioning!
After realizing this, he plucked up the courage, carefully walked out of the tent, and asked a few passing thieves.
After hearing that they all said that the two men accidentally slipped and fell, Wang Wu let out a sigh of relief, and he could finally let go of his pounding heart.
Early in the morning, the two unlucky guys who choked to death on excrement soon became a laughing stock in the camp.
At the same time, Xian Ji was bored and compiled a story about the causes of their deaths.
It is said that when the two of them were going to the toilet, they got into a fight for various reasons, so they both fell down.
There were also two men in black, who said categorically that they had heard strange noises. Maybe they fell accidentally while practicing the habit of cutting off sleeves.
However, this statement is obviously not as tenable as the first one. After all, who would run to the manure pit when doing that?
There are different opinions outside, but Wang Wu, the only one who knows the inside story, pretends that nothing is wrong and refuses to talk.
Therefore, the matter finally became a secret.
This secret was not revealed until Wang Wu returned to Xiao Han and accidentally mentioned it in a boast.
Of course, at that time, Wang Wu was no longer afraid of being held accountable, not to mention that Xiao Han, who heard about it, greatly appreciated it and even rewarded him with many benefits.
To borrow Xiao Han's words at the time: What Wang Wu did was absolutely correct!
If you encounter such a traitor on the edge of a cliff, throw him to death! If you see him by the river, drown him! If you see him next to a manure pit, you will naturally choke him to death! In short, we can't let him live any longer!
I have said so much, but these are things for later, so I won’t mention them here for the time being.
After a chaotic morning, the huge team of thieves finally moved forward again.
During this period, several small teams came in.
This band of thieves soon exceeded ten thousand people, walking on the official road like a long dragon, with no end in sight!
Wang Wu, who sneaked into the team and acted as the second and fifth son, because the information was confirmed and he was the only witness to the last incident, when the team started, he was called to the side by the unknown sect leader and asked them in detail Things in the team.
Before Wang Wu came here, he got a lot of useful information from the young man named A'Zhu. He could answer most of the questions the old man asked.
If he encounters something that he really doesn't know, he will pretend to be dumbfounded, or he will lie and deal with it without blinking an eye. In this way, he will not arouse any suspicion, and he will get away with it by luck.
"Is there nothing strange before and after that night of heavenly punishment?"
"Really not! Everything was just like usual. Suddenly there was a thunder. I don't even know where the thunder came from!"
"oh……"
"Sect Master, can I not go? That place is too..."
After answering several questions in succession, when the old man was silent, Wang Wu, who was following the sedan, quickly begged for mercy with a grimace.
His expression was not fake.
After seeing the power of firearm explosions, Wang Wu had long been afraid!
I'm afraid that Xiao Han will be unjust and kill him and these thieves together! In that case, who should he talk to for reason?
Moreover, since his mission is to lead these people to the valley, they are indeed heading there now! Wang Wu felt that it was time for him to retire after his success and wait for the reward with peace of mind. There was really no need to work hard anymore!
However, in this world, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is often cruel.
The old man on the sedan chair was still deep in thought and didn't say a word, while the old servant below smiled sideways at him twice. His expression was very obvious. Do you want to leave? no way!
————
The bandit of thieves was approaching slowly, and Xiao Han had already received the news.
The scouts sent by the New Fire Guards followed the team back and carefully covered their traces, so that no one noticed that there was someone monitoring them here.
Twenty miles, ten miles, five miles.
Soon, Xiao Han saw the huge team on the road through the telescope.
"So many people? Hey! What a pity! Those damn bastards, why are they playing with fire when they have nothing to do? If so much gunpowder had not exploded and was left to these people, wouldn't success or failure be decided in one battle?!"
Sitting in front of the telescope, looking at the seemingly endless team below, Xiao Han on the top of the mountain pounded the ground in distress!
He didn't know how much damage the remaining gunpowder could cause to these people! Can you keep these people away?
After all, in Gouzi's most ideal outcome, the remaining amount of medicine would only cause 5,000 casualties at most.
"Master Hou!"
As soon as he thought of Gou Zi, Gou Zi came to him quietly, and then whispered to Xiao Han, who had a strange look on his face: "Master Hou, the thieves are getting closer. Those rangers have withdrawn to the back. You should also withdraw quickly!"
"Withdraw to the back?" Xiao Han frowned when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "Do they have any scouts?"
"Still not!" Gouzi replied simply without thinking.
Even he couldn't figure this out: Why did such a large team move forward without even sending a single scout? Was it really that they were not afraid of being ambushed?
However, he didn't know that the thieves already knew that there were no soldiers in Yangzhou, so what kind of ambush would they fear?
"Since there are no scouts? Then why should I retreat?" Xiao Han couldn't help but smile when Gouzi said this.
Here he is, the best place to observe, and he can see every move below. Is it possible that those thieves still have clairvoyance and can see him at the top?
"this……"
Seeing that Xiao Han refused to leave, Gouzi hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the woman buried in the valley, he quickly felt relieved.
Those thieves came from the north. If they wanted to get to Xiao Han, they had to climb up the steep slope in front of the valley, or come up from the side of the valley.
If they were climbing up a steep slope, Xiao Han would have already run away by the time they climbed up!
And if you come up from the side of the valley, you have to be prepared for thunder.
Dogs who know the power of those weapons will never believe that those people have the courage and ability to break through this thunder array!
