A quarter of an hour later, Guo Yi found Wei Tong and showed him Cao Chong's letter. Wei Tong nodded and ordered: "Zhang Hu! Go gather the troops! Let's go rescue people!"
Zhang Hu behind him was the commander who followed Song Xin in Jingzhou and had already served as Wei Tong's bodyguard. "Master Xiaowei, we are going to Yingyang County to mobilize troops. We won't be able to do it for three to five days. I'm afraid it will be too late."
Wei Tong patted his head. His troops were all in Yingyang County, and they needed military talismans from the imperial court to recruit them. Now Xu Du's entourage and guards total only a hundred people.
Guo Yi said: "I will also gather the retainers and guards at home and go with you!"
"Zhang Hu, go and call Zhou Zhong Liu Mu and Song Ya. We will gather outside the east city gate." Zhang Hu responded immediately, but Wei Tong called him back and warned: "This is Don’t let Song Xin’s mother and sister know about this, so as not to worry them!”
"Don't worry, sir, Zhang Hu has sense!" After saying that, he got on his horse and ran to report the news.
After a while, Wei Tong and Guo Yi arrived outside the east city gate. Zhang Hu, Zhou Zhong, Liu Mu, and Song Ya gathered more than two hundred people and were waiting here.
Wei Tong got on his horse and said, "Let's go!"
When they arrived near Zhujia Town, Wei Tong ordered Zhang Hu and others to inquire about the direction of the bandits' departure. After a while, he received a report saying that they were heading northwest.
Shortly after they left, Zhou Wenzhi received a message saying, "Wei Tong and Guo Yi followed with more than two hundred people."
"Let them fight the thieves. It would be better if Wei Tong died." Zhou Wenzhi smiled proudly and put down the jade slip.
…
Wei Tong and others were galloping all the way, and there was a fork in the east-west direction in front of them. Wei Tong dismounted his horse to check it himself, and found a piece of horse manure on the westward road, which was a few hours ago, and he knew it.
He led everyone to the west road and saw many messy footprints and human and animal excrement along the way. At this time, Zhou Zhong, who was exploring the road ahead, came back and reported, "Sir, they turned northwest and were probably going to plunder the villages and towns there. Do we want to kill them and rescue Mr. Song?"
Wei Tong smiled and said: "Judging from the horses' hooves and footprints, there are about three hundred of them."
When Guo Yi heard that there were so many people on the other side, he felt a little nervous, "Master Wei, what should we do?"
"We will definitely suffer losses if we attack with force. If we follow slowly, I think Song Xin will definitely do something. When the time comes, we will cooperate outside."
Guo Yi knew Song Xin's identity as a practitioner and was not worried. Along the way, he learned many tracking techniques from Wei Tong and others. They were able to roughly estimate the number of enemies without seeing them, which impressed him even more.
After a while, they saw thick smoke billowing from the village in the distance. When they got closer, they saw dozens of corpses lying in various directions, and the remaining villagers had long since disappeared.
A young woman, covered in dust and naked, was sitting on the roadside. A shocking bloody hole was stabbed in her belly. There was a swaddling clothes thrown beside her, and there was no sound of crying.
Song Ya went over to check and shook his head sadly.
Everyone saw it and gritted their teeth with hatred. "I'm going to kill them!" Guo Yi roared angrily, and the knuckles on his fists creaked.
Wei Tong had a stern look on his face, "They shouldn't have gone far, chase them!"
On the road near the village, footsteps became chaotic, including those of bandits and villagers. Wei Tong inspected it for a while and said: "Less than a hundred miles to the north, there is a mountain forest. I think the lair of the thieves is in the mountain forest. If they enter the forest, it will be difficult to find them. I think they will meet tonight We’re sleeping in the wild, we’ll take the opportunity to get in tonight!”
"Zhang Hu, go and inquire ahead and report back to me at any time!"
"No!" Zhang Hu responded and led a few people on horseback.
Song Ya said: "Master Xiaowei, are we still chasing him now?"

Wei Tong shook his head, "Find a place to hide, have a good meal, go to bed, and recuperate your energy. Let's fight hard tonight. I guess Song Xin will take action tonight."
Everyone found a secluded place and set up sentries. The remaining people took out dry food and dried meat and filled their stomachs with rice wine. At the first watch, Wei Tong woke them up, ordered the horses' hooves to be wrapped in cloth, and checked. After receiving the weapons, Wei Tong gave the order to set off.
At the same time, Song Xin was tied up and looking at several bandits eating meat, he shouted loudly:
"Hey, you guys have wine and meat to eat. Bring me some wine and meat quickly. I'm hungry!"
"That's a nice thought, do you know what kind of meat this is?"
Another guarding bandit glanced at Song Xin and chuckled: "If he knew what kind of meat this was, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to eat it. These are all villagers from the village just now. Do you still dare to eat it?"
Song Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "So you still eat human flesh."
Unexpectedly, the bandit did not shy away from talking about this matter, and said proudly: "What's so strange about human flesh? Our eldest brother often kills the beauties he has enjoyed and shares them with everyone."
Another bandit squinted and smiled, "Hahaha, look at this boy's thin skin and tender flesh. When we get to the village, we will cut off his meat, roast it and feed it to him."
Song Xin shook his head and said, "Since you said this, I won't feel unbearable when I kill you later."
The bandit was stunned, then laughed wildly and said: "Kill us? Are you scared and confused? Now you are a prisoner."
Suddenly Zhang Xiuyang's sneer came from behind them. The bandit was about to turn his head when he felt a pain in his neck and fell to the ground with a plop, foam mixed with blood gurgling out from his mouth.
The faces of the bandits changed, and they were about to look back when they heard a squeaking sound. Song Xin actually broke free from the rope and stood up. Just as they were about to shout a warning, they were each hit on the back of the head. Bursted and lifeless.
Song Xin looked at Zhang Xiuyang and said, "These beasts actually eat people."
Zhang Xiuyang said with a serious face: "Originally I wanted to spare their lives, but today I saw them murdering people, and I will never spare them!"
"Let's do it tonight. By the way, let's surprise them with this first." With that said, Song Xin took out a few black balls from the storage ring and handed them to Zhang Xiuyang, which were unused bombs.
Zhang Xiuyang said: "Then we have to take action quickly. Your eldest brother Wei Tong has already led people to follow."
"Tell them not to follow, this is going to be really bad." Song Xin's expression changed.
Zhang Xiuyang said: "They could have attacked, but they have been following far behind. I guess they have some plan."
Song Xin thought about it, Wei Tong knew that he was a practitioner, so he shouldn't be worried that he would be in danger. He kept following him like this, obviously waiting for him to take action.
The two changed into bandits' clothes and walked around the camp without anyone recognizing them. They saw Feng Hu and others drinking and having fun from a distance, so they quietly approached. This group of bandits had just robbed the village, got a lot of grain, cattle and sheep, and were celebrating.
A bandit said: "Brother, those tails have been following us all day."
Hearing this, Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang's hearts skipped a beat, "Wei Tong has been discovered!"
At this time, Feng Hu said disapprovingly: "Don't pay attention. They must be the soldiers sent by the government. Those officials have to come with orders. When we enter the forest, they will naturally retreat."
At this time, the bandit with his head wrapped in white cloth echoed: "That's right, the second master is brave and invincible. If they dare to come tonight, they will all be killed!"
"Hahaha." Feng Hu laughed proudly. "It's okay if they don't come. If they really dare to come, we will kill another wave of officers and soldiers! Big brother will be happy when he knows!"
When Song Xin heard this, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, "These people should often deal with the government. They must regard Brother Wei as the officers and soldiers who suppressed bandits in the past."
Zhang Xiuyang asked curiously: "Since the government often sends troops to suppress bandits, how come these guys can be so rampant?"
"Those government soldiers are also afraid of death. Every time they suppress the bandits, they are in large formations, but they just don't dare to take action. After all, after killing all the bandits, how can they ask for a reward as an excuse?"
Zhang Xiuyang smiled contemptuously, "Hey, you should respect yourself as a supporter of the bandits. But tonight they will make a miscalculation."
For the sake of safety, Song Xin still warned: "Xiu Yang, go find Brother Wei outside and tell him to wait for my signal."
Zhang Xiuyang naturally understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if there is an explosion on your side, we will attack."
Song Xin nodded, Zhang Xiuyang turned around and looked around, then swooped into the ground unprepared.
At this time, Song Xin heard the sound of footsteps. He stood up quickly, turned his back and pretended to pee. The man walked by without paying attention.
In the camp, Feng Hu shouted loudly: "Brothers, what's enough wine tonight? Let's have some more fun." Then he clapped his hands, and two bandits pushed a few young women over.
They took off the women's clothes and forced them to dance. Several women were so frightened that they trembled, but they did not dare to disobey the persecutors, so they trembled and twisted awkwardly. Feng Hu was furious. He stood up suddenly, grabbed a woman's hair and said angrily: "Stupid like a pig!"
Then he broke the woman's neck, and the two women beside him screamed in fright, rolled on the ground and howled.
This cry seemed to make the minions even more excited. They swarmed up and the woman howled miserably for a few times before she could no longer make any sound.
Song Xin turned his head away and was instinctively frightened by their beastly behavior. It turned out that those bandits' claims of cannibalism were true!
The bandits seemed to be unsatisfied and suggested: "Brother, why don't you bring that boy with you, take off his clothes and grill him?"
Feng Hu had just seen a killing and was getting excited, "Okay! Go and bring him over to me!"
Song Xin's eyes narrowed, knowing that they would find out that he had escaped soon. Sure enough, a bandit hurried over and said, "Brother, that kid ran away!"
"What!?" Feng Hu stood up angrily, "How many people can't stand a kid?!"
"They were all killed!"
Feng Hu was furious and hit the little guy on the shoulder with the back of his knife, "A bunch of stupid pigs! They can't even look down on one person!"
The gangster's shoulder was so painful that he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Split up and chase after me!"
Song Xin felt bad when he saw that they were about to separate. At this moment, the jade slip that conveyed the message happened to tremble, and Song Xin immediately heard Zhang Xiuyang's voice in his ears.
"Song Xin, Master Wei has arrived! We can attack at any time!"
"Okay, when you hear the explosion, attack immediately!"
After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and threw a few round black balls at the bandit next to the fire.
At this time, the bandits were all very close, and no one noticed a few black balls flying in the air. Feng Hu noticed something flying towards him. He looked up and saw a bright light in his eyes, and then a wave of air spurted out. Black balls exploded one after another on the bandit's head.
Waves of air, fire, and caltrops tore the fragile body into pieces, and the fragments were blown up into the air.
Because Feng Hu was far away from the center of the explosion, he was blown away by the air wave. He was wearing heavy cowhide armor and had no fatal injuries on his body, but his cheek was pierced by an iron thorn.
Then, I heard an angry shout coming from outside the camp:
"Catch the thief today! Kill him!"
