Gu Xifeng handed the dagger, token and some bottles and cans he had to the monkey, then sped towards the front of the horse thief team, chose an open place, squatted on the ground and pretended to cry.
The horse thief team discovered the crying Gu Xifeng during their inspection and cautiously surrounded him.
"That kid, what are you doing? Why are you crying in the forest!" A man who looked like the leader of the horse thieves walked up to him and asked in a bad tone.
Gu Xifeng raised his head and looked at the horse thieves who were surrounding him. He didn't answer and cried even harder.
"Stop crying, it's so annoying. Why are men crying? I'm asking you questions." The leading man looked impatient and frowned.
Gu Xifeng looked at this ferocious man timidly, no longer crying, but sobbing.
"If you don't say anything, I'm going to take action." The man raised his palm as if to hit Gu Xifeng.
"Uncle, please don't hit me. I live down the mountain and go hunting with my father. Then I got separated from him for fun. Uncle, I want to go home!" Gu Xifeng cried again at this point. stand up.
"Don't cry, you don't look like a man. I'll help you find your father." The man was still impatient, but his tone softened a lot.
"Thank you, uncle." Gu Xifeng stopped crying when he saw this, and obediently started to circle around with the horse thieves team.
"Sure enough, I guessed it right. These people are not real horse thieves. How can horse thieves meddle in such nosy business? Even if they don't kill the children, they will leave them alone. However, the more this happens, the less simple these people become." Gu Xifeng secretly thought in his heart. think.
In a bush not far away, the monkey watched Gu Xifeng's performance quietly, snickering repeatedly.
After searching for about an hour, as time went by, the horse thief man's expression became more and more gloomy.
"Boy, who are you! Even if you are separated from your family, you should have been found after so long. Don't tell me that your father left you and went down the mountain." The horse thief man looked at Gu Xifeng and said fiercely.
"Captain, this guy is trying to trick us."
"I feel very suspicious. Where did the lost child come from in the mountains?"
"I'm afraid he's not a spy."
"How can there be such a young spy? I don't know if he has been weaned."
The horse thieves were all talking about it. The man called the captain also had a headache and was stroking his forehead.
"That's it." The horse thief captain whispered, as if he had made some determination, and grabbed Gu Xifeng.
Gu Xifeng used some strength, stretched out a hand to stop the captain's hand, and stepped back.
"Good boy, as expected, there is something wrong. He is still a practicing master." Gu Xifeng's performance made the captain feel good. If it was really a lost child, he wouldn't know what to do, but if it was a guy who was acting suspiciously, it would be much easier to handle. .
The captain did not pull out the saber at his waist and attacked Gu Xifeng with his bare hands. Gu Xifeng only showed the strength of the early entry level. Facing the strength of the late entry level, the captain quickly "missed" and was captured.
The victory over the commander won loud applause from the horse thieves. A strong horse thief tied up Gu Xifeng, and the horse thieves escorted him towards the depths of Top Mountain.
The monkey fell far behind the team, and no one among the horse thieves noticed.
There used to be a group of hundreds of bandits occupying Gyro Mountain. Now, the village that originally belonged to that group of bandits has changed its owner. The unlucky group of bandits have also been slaughtered and buried in the forest behind the village.
This group of bandits was unlucky but did not die unjustly. They often engaged in burning, killing, looting, and almost everyone had blood on their hands.
Now the owner of the stockade is the group of horse thieves who captured seven members of the Seven Kills Battalion. There are countless open posts and hidden sentries around the stockade, just like a piece of steel. It is extremely difficult to sneak in. Even if an army is launched to attack, there are not even thousands of soldiers. You may not be able to get any benefits here.
Although this group of people did not wear armor and were dressed the same as ordinary people in the green forest, it can be seen from the fortifications and personal qualities that these people must have been in the army, and they were quite elite in the army.
The team escorting Gu Xifeng entered the village smoothly, and the sentries on the road let them go without saying a word.
Gu Xifeng discovered that there were many temporary tents in the courtyard of the village. It seemed that the number of people disguised as horse thieves would definitely not be small. Judging from the formation, there must be between five and six hundred people.
The team led Gu Xifeng straight to the lobby of the village. At this time, several people in the lobby were respectfully reporting something to the people sitting in the seats. When they saw the team entering with strangers, they immediately stopped talking.
The man in the seat is about thirty years old. He is not tall and strong, but he is very handsome. His bearded face is fair and angular, with a straight nose, thin lips, and a pair of bright eyes.
The cloth clothes and the iron hair crown on his head could not hide the majestic temperament of the man, but the occasional silver strands in his hair looked a bit old.
The weapons placed beside the man caught Gu Xifeng's eyes. They were a pair of weapons. Even if they were laid flat there, they looked extremely extraordinary.
Two pieces of information emerged in Gu Xifeng's mind.
"The eight-sided silver dragon hammer is made of an unknown metal. It is a pair of short-handled hammers. The handle is one foot long. The hammer head is eight-sided and engraved with a dragon pattern. A single hammer weighs eighty kilograms. It makes the sound of a dragon roar when it is swung. Legend has it that it is infused with the power of a dragon, and the holder is Wu Beiwang."
"Wu Beiwang was the former deputy commander of the Huben Army of the Jin'an Dynasty. He was the son of Wu Huaiqing, the martial arts master enshrined in Jin'an. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and accompanied Chu Youshe, the Duke of An, on his southern and northern campaigns. He made great military exploits and was promoted at the age of twenty-six. He is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Huben Army. He is strict in running the army and polite to his subordinates. He is deeply loved by the military commanders. He has excellent martial arts talent and has reached the level of a minor master before he was thirty years old."
"After the Jin'an Incident, before Chu Youshe returned to the Huben army, Wu Beiwang led his trusted men to leave. No one in the Huben army dared to stop him, and his whereabouts have not been known since."
"Wu Beiwang?" Gu Xifeng felt sad when he thought of this. He unexpectedly met a team of Jin'an survivors here, and looked at the people in the lobby with a hint of kindness.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we discovered this boy while patrolling in the mountains. He possesses martial arts skills and has evil intentions. I suspect that he is a spy from some party, so I specially took him and brought him to the Commander-in-Chief for a look."
"Oh? It's interesting to be a spy at a young age." Wu Beiwang looked at Gu Xifeng with interest.
"Boy, who sent you here? Come and listen." His tone was calm, but there was a sense of oppression that made people unable to help but tell the truth.
"Well, uncle commander, I am just an ordinary person living at the foot of the mountain. It's just that my father is a hunter and taught me to strengthen my body since I was a child, so I know some three-legged cat kung fu."
"Uncle, I really went hunting with my father in the mountains and got lost. Please let me go back."
Gu Xifeng acted a little timid, but still told Wu Beiwang his situation "truthfully".
"Lord Commander, this kid is full of lies. I listened to this guy's words earlier and walked around in the woods for an hour, but I didn't see the dad he mentioned. Even if he is really lost, his dad is not nearby. Looking for him?" The team leader who took Gu Xifeng up the mountain was a little anxious and hurriedly exposed Gu Xifeng's rumors to Wu Beiwang.
"Oh? This guy is not bad. I can't get him to tell the truth even with the pressure of a master. Not bad, not bad!" Wu Beiwang said two consecutive sentences, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and the shadow of a dragon was behind him. Emerging, Gu Xifeng felt a strong pressure coming over him, making him unable to breathe.
Seeing that Gu Xifeng could still stand, Wu Bei's expression changed. He stood up and slapped Gu Xifeng in the face. Gu Xifeng felt strong murderous intent and did not dare to neglect, so he retreated sharply.
Seeing that Gu Xifeng dodged his attack, Wu Beiwang did not follow the trend and attack Gu Xifeng, but stepped back and sat back in his seat.
Gu Xifeng looked at Wu Beiwang cautiously, not daring to act rashly.
"You are no longer a three-legged cat. Put away your rhetoric and tell me why you are here." Wu Beiwang raised the corners of his mouth, with an expression on his face that was exactly what I expected, and his tone was very relaxed .
"I refuse!" Gu Xifeng refused to give in, his tone was firm, and he was wary of everyone around him.
"I've gone too far to bully you. Let's do this. I'll order three of my subordinates to challenge you. If you win, I won't kill you." Gu Xifeng's stubbornness seemed to have aroused Wu Beiwang's interest again. It was quite provocative. looked at Gu Xifeng.
"Do I have a choice?" Gu Xifeng spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
"Interesting, this kid is interesting."
"Xu Daye!"
The team leader who brought Gu Xifeng came forward and saluted Wu Beiwang. "The humble position is here!"
"You should try your hand with him first. Don't underestimate the enemy. This kid should be hiding well." "I accept my order from my humble position!"
Xu Daye still didn't draw his sword and rushed towards Gu Xifeng. Gu Xifeng easily dodged it sideways. When Xu Daye was about to rush over, he raised his foot and lightly kicked Xu Daye on his butt. Xu Daye staggered and fell to the ground. land.
Everyone in the lobby burst into laughter. Xu Daye stood up quickly, blushing, and pulled out the sword from his waist, slashing at Gu Xifeng.
Gu Xifeng did not panic, and bent down to avoid the blade. When Xu Daye's knife slashed downwards, he raised his elbow and bumped it. Xu Daye only felt pain in his wrist, and the sword was knocked away. Then Xu Daye felt a heavy weight on his chest. The object hit him and the whole person flew backwards.
Gu Xifeng withdrew his right foot that kicked Xu Daye, and just caught Xu Daye's saber.
"Accept!" He saluted Xu Daye, who stood up in embarrassment, and said calmly.
"Clean and tidy, not bad." Wu Beiwang clapped his hands to Gu Xifeng, and his compliment did not sound like he was lying.
He glanced at Xu Daye again and frowned.
"Xu Daye, even if the opponent is empty-handed and you draw the sword, you can't even hold the sword. How will you go into battle to kill the enemy in the future! You will be punished by swinging the sword 10,000 times and set off immediately!"
"I accept my punishment!" Xu Daye competed with a ten-year-old child and was beaten so hard that he was unable to fight back. Naturally, he felt depressed. When he heard that Wu Beiwang's punishment was exactly what he wanted, he did not even take the sword back from Gu Xifeng's hand. He was willing to do so. Accept the punishment and let it out.
"Xue Jiuchang! You come to the next one!"
"I humbly accept my order!" A burly man in the lobby stepped forward, bowed his hands to Wu Beiwang, and spoke in a loud voice. He looked like a fierce general at first glance.
Just when Xue Jiuchang was about to attack Gu Xifeng with a nine-ring sword, Gu Xifeng made a move that surprised everyone present.
I saw him gently throwing Xu Daye's sword to the side, as if throwing out a piece of garbage.
Xue Jiuchang's face was full of anger, and his face was trembling with anger.
"Boy, do you despise the knife or do you despise me?"
Gu Xifeng was a little confused when he saw such an angry opponent and didn't know how to answer.
"Boy, weapons are the second life of a soldier. You just throw them away. Give me a reason, or I will cut you into pieces." Xue Jiuchang was already a loud voice. With the blessing of anger, The sound was a little louder, which made Gu Xifeng's ears hurt.
Gu Xifeng scratched his head helplessly and embarrassedly, and said, "The reason is very simple, I wouldn't know how to use it..."
The whole room was speechless...
