After the corpse was buried, the rainy sky was already slightly bright.
After wiping some of the rain off his body, Xu Mu calmed down and spit out the filth he had suppressed.
"Si Hu, drive."
Thirteen young men, divided into four horses and a carriage, continued to move forward along the muddy road.
"My boss, there are about ten miles of land left." Zhou Zun came on horseback with a deep tone.
"Zhou Zun, you lead three people on horseback and follow. Wait for my boss's order, then surround and kill from behind."
"My boss, I understand."
The figures of the four riders quickly disappeared into the rain.
"The remaining people, touch their weapons, dismount and walk."
Everyone on the carriage, including the bow dog, quickly checked the swords and iron bows in their hands, and also looked through the robes and armor on their bodies carefully.
Then, they all put on their raincoats and bamboo hats and jumped out of the car.
"Lu Lao, go hide the carriage and remember to mark it."
"Don't worry, boss."
"Remember, the old bandit must not be disturbed without my boss's order."
Xu Mu dared to be sure that this group of more than 30 veteran gangsters were used to seeing blood and lived without any worries. They just wanted to kill people with their swords. Even compared to Xue Tong's gang of officers and soldiers before, they were a bit more ferocious.
"Go slowly into the forest."
After ten miles, the remaining ten people walked for at least more than an hour before slowly approaching Horseshoe Lake.
The rain fell on the bamboo hat, making a "thump thump thump" sound from time to time. Fortunately, the nearby rain scene seemed extremely noisy.
"Boss, that's Horseshoe Lake, right?" Heifu next to him whispered.
Xu Mu nodded. In front of them was a large lake, with several streams flowing down from the mountains constantly flowing into the lake.
Along with the falling rain, circles of ripples danced on the lake.
Looking further along the lake, you can see seven or eight thatched cottages clustered together. Through the wooden windows, you can vaguely see the movement of people.
"Longbow, go and see where the horse gallery is."
Gongou nodded. Afraid of walking slowly, he simply abandoned his raincoat and crawled quickly along the wet water.
Before Xu Mu could recover, he was already a hundred steps away.
Xu Mu was stunned. After all, he couldn't persuade her. He just waited for the matter to be completed and drank two bowls of ginger soup.
"Brother Mu, do as I say, let's kill him directly!" Si Hu held the long saber and sounded angry.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Mu shook his head. There was no way around this wave of killings, but he didn't want anything to happen to any of the villagers.
More than thirty old gangsters, who kill without blinking an eye. At least the officers and soldiers will still be afraid, but these old bandits will definitely fight you to the death if you push them into a hurry.
In this world, anyone who dares to play with a knife's edge and lick blood is not a good person.
"Dong, boss, I see you. The horse gallery is behind the house, and there are about ten good horses." Gong Dog quickly crawled back, and his whole body was wet, which made Xu Mu feel distressed.
"Longbow, put on your raincoat."
Gonggou put on his raincoat obediently, and his thin body finally looked stronger despite the wind and rain.
Horseshoe Lake is too remote. If the old bandits want to go out to kill families and rob people, they must have horses.
"Mo Da, Mo Er, Sangu Hong." Xu Mu muttered.
"What are you reading, Brother Mu?"
"The old gangster's three leaders."
"Is there another aunt?"
"Don't underestimate the enemy."
Rubbing his forehead, Xu Mu calculated quickly, and after a long time, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Hide in the woods and do it after dark."
It's not yet early morning, and it will definitely be a struggle until dark. But there is no way, even if it is a rainy day, it will be easily discovered once you take action.
Xu Mu even wanted to bet on the possibility that the old gangsters in this gang would suddenly become interested and send out a group of people to rob on a rainy day.
But he soon became disappointed.
The old gangsters had no interest in the muddy path, so they only hid in the house drinking and eating meat. From time to time, fistfight chants were heard loudly.
"Eat solid food."
Ten people wearing raincoats and hanging bamboo hats took out sticky cooking cakes in the wet forest, slowly tore them into pieces, and stuffed them into their mouths one by one.
The last to join were three or four stick men, including Hei Fu, who were obviously trembling.
In the past, they would only dare to do innocuous and bad things in Dongfang of Tangjiang City. The last round of curfew and killings still makes them feel scared now.
"Brothers, please calm down." Xu Mu said in a deep voice, "The parents, wives and children in Zhuangzi are still waiting for me to go home."
This sentence finally made the expressions of several stickmen become slightly firm for a moment.
"After killing this wave, we will have a place to stay."
"Had to kill."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm also a loser." Heifu lowered his voice and was the first to express his stance. Several stickmen nearby also echoed in unison.
Xu Mu looked pleased for a moment. At first, I was a little hesitant about bringing Heifu and his gang into Zhuangzi, but now I see that it is indeed the right thing to do.
"Brother Mu, it's raining heavily."
Xu Mu cursed secretly, there was no other way, even if it was hail, they couldn't be exposed now. Guess Zhou Zun and the other two people also found a place to take shelter from the rain at this time, waiting for his slogan.
"Find a place with less rain and rest for a while."
Until it gets dark. The rain in the forest did not stop for a moment.
The hibernating group slowly gathered together again. Their faces were already red and white from the cold.
"My boss, it's getting dark."
After wiping away a handful of rainwater, Xu Mu raised his head and looked around at the dark rainy scene around him. Under such circumstances, it is already the best opportunity.
"Long Gong, go take a look. There are still a few people patrolling the horse corridor."
The bow dog quickly crawled away, only to return after a while.
"My boss, there are two of us."
"Longbow, shoot! Be sure to kill with one arrow!"
Gongou nodded calmly, "Master, if it's just two people, I can do it."
Xu Mu was slightly happy and nodded solemnly.
"The rest of the people must not make any movement. When the long bow shoots someone, they will follow and go to the horse farm."
"Brother Mu wants to steal the horse?"
This gang of old bandits has more than ten good horses. It is indeed an opportunity to seize the horse and then ride to kill.
But in fact, the feasibility is not high.
An old gangster who licks the edge of his knife will definitely be alert. Once there is any movement in the horse corridor, they will immediately rush out.
Moreover, there is a very crucial point. It's useless to snatch the horses. These horses have already recognized their owners and are difficult to tame in a short time. If they run a few more miles and then return to the old bandit, their work will really be in vain.
You might even get into trouble.
After touching the horse corridor, what Xu Mu really wanted to do was another thing.
"Brothers, please stab the horses later."
"Stab, stab the horse?"
"Stab all the horses!" Xu Mu repeated in a cold voice.
More than thirty old bandits have lost their horses, and next is their chance. The first method considered was to feed medicine and set fire, but considering the weather and the reason that the horse was frightened, Xu Mu abandoned it.
And if a horse is stabbed, even if it doesn't die, it will be seriously injured and lie on the ground, unable to run again.
"Longbow, be careful."
Gongou nodded, disappeared from the spot a few times, and began to look for a place to ambush.
"Brothers, be careful. Those horses will raise their hooves. After stabbing their belly, they will take advantage of the sky and run back into the woods."
"I can even kill people from Beidi, let alone a bunch of old bandits?"
"You're a bastard, you're a tough guy! I'm a tough guy, who can stop me!"
"Raise the knife."
In front of the forest, a row of big men wearing raincoats suddenly became determined.
