No soldiers, no armor; lack of food, few reinforcements.
Facing a group of veterans who had retreated from the front line, Bai Feng had no idea of any strategy that could match them and defeat them from the front.
"There is only one way." He suggested to the town official Lynch: "Any strong fortress will often be breached from the inside."
The two met secretly at Lin Qi's mansion, with only Liu Mo, the boy in charge of taking notes, waiting on them.
"Your Excellency, are you trying to alienate the thieves?" Lin Qi said: "But our people have no idea how many people are hiding behind the fortress. Their names, appearances, and preferences are all unknown. How can we take action?"
Bai Feng ordered Liu Mo to prepare what he had ordered before. The latter nodded solemnly and trotted away elsewhere.
Outside the mansion, all the available forces in the town have been gathered at this moment, including several riflemen, dozens of militiamen, more than a dozen police officers, a total of more than one hundred people.
Everyone originally wanted to follow the legendary General Bai Feng and kill them together. Some of them were burdened with hatred, or some had their wives and daughters kidnapped... Although their experiences were different, their moods were the same.
"Tailor Li, where is the thing I asked you to make?" Liu Mo was unmoved by the expectant looks cast by his other comrades. He came to an old man and said, "Bring it quickly."
"You, you really want it?" the old man said, "I've called everyone here for you. If you have anything to do, don't just show off. There is strength in numbers!"
Liu Mo turned back to look at everyone, took a deep breath, and in the blink of an eye grabbed Tailor Li and asked sternly: "Have you done a good job?"
"Yes! I will do things neatly. Here, here!" After that, the apprentice presented a set of old hunting clothes that had been slightly resized. Liu Mo put down Tailor Li and took the clothes, and was about to leave when Tailor Li said: "Do you really want to go? Alone?"
Liu Mo said: "It's not me, it's Bai Shaoxia." After saying this, he quickly entered the house without saying goodbye.
Seeing that something was wrong, the brothers and people around him gathered around the old tailor and asked questions. The old tailor waved his sleeves and shed tears, leaving only one sentence: "You guys, just wait and collect his body for him!" and then left here.
Bai Feng put on her hunting clothes and took Liu Mo back to the inn to meet with the other three friends for a while. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask Yu Ke to practice sword diligently, and then drank a glass of strong wine with everyone. When it was late at night, she hid in the Darkness, walking towards the abyss.
Liu Mo's eyes searched for a way in the darkness, just like his life in the previous few months, there was no day or night, and every minute was torture.
"My wife Lihua disappeared half a year ago." He whispered: "Basically, I sneak to the fortress every day to have a look. I want to know if she is still alive?"
Bai Feng said: "Brother Liu, I know it is impossible to reassure you now, so I will not comfort you, but I promise that as long as I can come out of the fortress, things will be done!"
The two of them walked under the stars and the moon from the path beside the cape until halfway up the mountain, and finally found a sheltered place to stop. The view from here is wide and the general structure of the fort can be seen at a glance.
"It's too far, and it's night, so you can't see much." Bai Feng sighed: "However, this fortress is really solidly built."
A wall was built along the road between the two mountains, arrow towers were set up, and sentries were posted. There were battlements on the wall, and trenches under the wall. At night, all the tents had their open fires extinguished, so the layout of the bandit camp could not be clearly seen.
Liu Mo sneered and widened his eyes: "Can't you see this?"
"What did you say?" Bai Feng looked around and could only see bright lights from the two arrow towers: "Are you talking about those two places? Isn't it normal to see them?"
"No, this is not normal." Liu Mo said: "Didn't you notice that these two sentries were dozing off?"
"What?"
Liu Mo pondered for a moment and said: "I have been observing them for half a year, and I have never seen them so slack. It must be because the news of Bai Shaoxia's killing of the three Orion brothers has not yet reached the fortress. The thieves had to work day and night to guard against the unexpected. Send more manpower to patrol the posts.”
"I thought it was normal for them to doze off." Bai Feng said with a smile, "No matter what, if Brother Liu thinks this is an opportunity, I will go out now."
Liu Mo echoed: "Remember, you are now the nephew of the third son of the Orion family. Your name is Sanbao, and you are the third male in your family."
The young man agreed and went down the mountain alone to approach the fortress.
It stands to reason that this is not the first time Bai Feng has carried out such a difficult and dangerous task, but as the 'Three Treasures' he cannot act calmly.
When he was young, he suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed, praying: "Is it you? My third uncle called me to come to you! Third uncle is dead! Their whole family is dead! Open the door..."
"what's the situation?"
"Who's there?"
"Two eldest brothers, I am the nephew of the three brothers of the Orion family. My name is Sanbao. Please shutter!" Bai Feng didn't bring any lighting equipment, so others couldn't see his appearance clearly. They could only see a figure covering his head in the dark night. The body keeps shaking.
"Brothers, I'm freezing to death..." After a while, a young man came to answer the door with a team of people. The visitor held a torch and surrounded Bai Feng.
"You said all three Orion brothers are dead?"
"Where did their nephew come from? I've never seen him before."
"I did hear Ma Laosan say that one of their sisters got married, but she just disliked their family's poverty, so they kept estranged."
Bai Feng knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying flatteringly: "Brothers, what my younger brother Sanbao said is absolutely true, otherwise I wouldn't have come overnight to report the news to my dead uncles!"
The few little leaders looked at each other, discussed it, and then said: "You come in first, and we will explain other things clearly later!"
The boy was taken to a place that looked like a stable, but although it was filled with hay and always gave off an unpleasant smell, there were no horses. He was locked in a cage. There was no firelight, as if there was no sky.
For a long time after that, he repeatedly confirmed that there was no sound around him and took a short rest. Unexpectedly, a suppressed moan soon reached his ears.
Bai Feng looked forward in astonishment. At some point, a candle light was lit next to the haystack, and under the candle light, a man and a woman were having sex. The woman's clothes were in tatters, and her skirt was torn so that her snow-white thighs could be clearly seen. root.
She dealt with the man in front of her, muttered a few words, and then looked at Bai Feng expressionlessly, with an expression that seemed to be frightened, but also seemed to be familiar with it. She smiled and shed tears.
Bai Feng slammed into the cage, and his body's instinct told him that he could not sit still and wait for death: "Bang, bang, bang!"
"You brat, why are you making such a fuss! Are you trying to ruin my good deeds?"
"Chun...sister." Bai Feng murmured, realizing that everything was in vain, and sat down slumped. The memory that I thought I had forgotten actually reappeared in front of me in this way!
After a while, the guy got tired and threw the woman aside. Then he tied up his trousers and walked up to Bai Feng. He said mockingly: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll wait until I see the 'Eagle' tomorrow and you can do whatever you want from now on!"
Bai Feng pretended to sleep and ignored the other party until the man took the candle and left. Bai Feng stood up and asked: "Are you... are you okay?"
It was dark all around, and there was no echo for a long time. This deathly silence made Bai Feng's heart even more entangled. He couldn't help but continue: "Please, answer me!"
Suddenly, half of a white body leaned out from beside him. The young man took a closer look and discovered that there was a cage covered with a black curtain right next to him.
"Are you a man?"
"Well..." Bai Feng replied: "I'm sorry."
"Men don't come here. You're either going to die tomorrow or you're going to be like them today..."
Before he finished speaking, a white figure suddenly came from behind the curtain to the front, reached into the cage, touched Bai Feng's cheek, and said softly: "If possible, I hope you die."
"Ah?" Bai Feng's heart tightened. He seemed to feel the hatred of the other party that was almost bone-deep, but soon he remembered his mission.
"Mrs. Liu, I'm here to save you."
