"So your boss wants to recruit us?" Yang Yuan looked at the bandit who came down from Hutou Village in front of him with a half-smile.
The bandit nodded quickly.
Yang Yuan asked: "Who has the final say on your mountain?"
The bandit replied: "There are three big bosses in the village, and usually it is the big bosses who have the final say."
"Well, let's go back and tell your boss that we are only staying in Guibao for one night and will leave tomorrow. As for a reunion on the mountain... forget it!" After saying that, Yang Yuan waved his hand to the leader of the spearmen on the side. Signaling to let the person go.
The bandit thanked Yang Yuan and Jia Liu and did not dare to stay any longer. He turned around and disappeared into the forest.
When the others disappeared, Jia Liu looked away and said, "Why didn't you agree to him just now? We can just take this opportunity to destroy Dwarf Tiger and his group of bandits."
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "How do you know they don't have the same idea as you?"
"Ah, what do you mean? You mean they also want to destroy us." Jia Liu opened his eyes wide.
"I don't know either." Yang Yuan spread his hands and said, "But I know one thing. As long as we gather the troops, we will surely capture Hutou Village. There is no need to take risks."
Jia Liu sighed and said, "Hey, I just think it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity."
"Let's go, the other two squadrons will arrive after dark." Yang Yuan turned and walked back.
Jia Liu quickly followed up and said, "How did you know that it would be dark before arriving? Did you also listen to the boss's arrangements?"
Yang Yuan smiled and said: "Hutou Village is the territory of the Dwarf Tigers. The officers and soldiers failed to suppress them several times. If the boss sends too many people at once, it is inevitable that the Dwarf Tigers will not escape into the mountains. But if your squadron is the only one here, the Dwarf Tiger will definitely not be afraid, and may even have the intention of annexing your few troops."
Jia Liu said with a straight face: "How dare he really think that these more than 100 people like me are made of clay."
"Maybe Dwarf Tiger really thinks you are made of mud, haha!" Yang Yuan laughed, "They have soldiers and armor, and they occupy a good location. If it were you, you would be afraid of a group of people using wooden spears. Bandit?"
Jia Liu shook his head and said immediately: "Don't mention it yet, your analysis really makes some sense."
Yang Yuan patted Jia Liu on the shoulder and said: "Chen Daqing has already gone to meet the other two teams. Before the two teams arrive, we must be prepared for the Dwarf Tiger to suddenly send people down the mountain to attack us."
Soon after Chen Daqing arrived in the woods, he led the intelligence team away and went to the other two roads to Hutou Village to meet the other two squadrons coming from the camp.
There is no familiar person to lead the way in the forest at the foot of Hutou Village, so it is difficult to find it at once. It requires familiar people to lead the way. The only people who can do this are people from the intelligence team.
………………
The bandit who was let go did not return to the mountain stronghold. He emerged from the forest and went directly to a stream.
The second boss on Hutou Village Mountain is waiting here with a few bandits.
"Second Master." As soon as the bandit came back, he came to the Second Master.
The second master asked: "How is it? Have you found out clearly? What is the origin of the other party?"
Several questions were asked in succession.
The bandit said honestly: "I have made some inquiries and found out that the group of people in the forest at the foot of the mountain are indeed wandering bandits. Their leader even told me that they were just staying at the foot of the mountain for one night and would leave tomorrow."
"Borrowing for one night?" The second master said with a sneer on his lips, "How can it be so damn cheap? Do you really think that I can come and leave whenever I want in Hutou Village?"
As early as in the village, Dwarf Tiger had said that he would annex this group of bandits at the foot of the mountain. How could he let these people leave at will?
The bandit asked tentatively: "Second Master, shall we go back to the stronghold and call for help?"
"No, let's go meet the gang of bandits down the mountain first." The second master stood up from the stone by the stream and started walking down the mountain.
The bandit who had just returned from the mountain saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Second Master, there is no need to go. Before the younger one came back, he told the leader of the bandit that the First Master invited them to gather on the mountain. Later, later... …”
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. He saw the second master in front of him staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.
With a pop, he knelt down on the ground, took two steps forward, and said with a tearful voice: "Second Head of Household, I really don't blame Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao is really helpless. If Xiao Xiao doesn't say anything, they won't let him go." The younger one is back, but if he doesn’t come back, he won’t be able to complete the tasks assigned by you, the second master. There is really no other way. The younger one can only tell them that the first master invited them to go to the mountain to get together, but the other younger ones didn’t say anything. After the two bandit leaders refused, the younger one quickly came back to report the news to the second master."
After the crying man finally finished speaking, the second master on the other side came over and kicked the bandit who was kneeling on the ground.
"Who the hell told you to talk too much?" A kick was not enough to relieve his anger, so the second master raised his foot and kicked him again.
The bandit didn't dare to dodge, he knelt on the ground holding his head and let the second master kick him over.
After kicking him several times, the second master stopped, looked at the bandits on the ground with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Tell me, repeat everything you said when you saw the bandit leader."
The bandit slowly raised his head and repeated everything he saw, heard, and said when he went to the bandit.
After he finished speaking, the second master asked: "Is that all?"
The bandit knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly: "That's all, that's all. I didn't dare to hide a word. If I hadn't been forced, I wouldn't have said anything about the boss's invitation to them to come to the mountain for a gathering."
"Yes." The second master nodded and slowly turned around. Halfway through the turn, he suddenly drew his knife, and with a flash of cold light, he slashed the neck of the bandit who was kneeling on the ground, and a big head rolled off. to the ground.
"If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can do. What's the use of keeping you!"
Until his death, the bandit never expected that the second master would suddenly kill him. His eyes were wide open and his body was still kneeling on the ground when his head fell off.
A stream of smelly blood spurted out from his neck, but the second master stepped aside when he took out the knife and did not splash on his body. The blood fell on a stone directly in front, and a scarlet red line appeared in the middle of the whole stone. long term.
"Find a place to bury the body." The second master wiped the blood off the knife with the bandit's corpse and put the knife back into its sheath.
Two bandits on the side came over, one of them grabbed a leg, threw the body into a shallow pit not far away, and covered it with a layer of loose soil.
A bandit on the side said: "Second Master, should we go down the mountain?"
The second master said coldly: "Why don't we go to the village? Are you sure that the news about our ambush in the village has not been leaked? Go back to the village."
Back at the mountain village, the second master went straight to the main hall of the mountain temple and saw the dwarf tiger gnawing on a leg of lamb inside. There was a jar of wine and a wine bowl on the table at hand.
"Second brother, you came back just in time. Come and sit down quickly." Dwarf Tiger turned to the bandit who was waiting on the side and said, "Go and get a bowl for the second master."
The bandit who was waiting on the side turned around and walked to the wooden stand not far away, took a bowl from it and put it on the table. He picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine before retreating to the back.
After the second master sat down, Dwarf Tiger put down the bones in his hands and asked, "How are things going?"
