In the rainy night.
After only a breath of time, two short arrows from the bow dog pierced the foreheads of the two old night watch gangsters.
Withdrawing the gesture, Gongou's entire right arm suddenly became swollen. After tearing off a piece of robe and wrapping it tightly, he changed his position and lay down, continuing to stare coldly ahead.
In front of him, nine figures in coir raincoats were slowly approaching the horse gallery.
…
"Third aunt, why don't you drink!" In the largest thatched hut, more than ten old bandits were already drinking until their faces turned red, but they still refused to leave.
There was only one girl, with three taels of scars on her cheek, wearing a revealing gauze skirt without flower buttons.
At this moment, she suddenly paused, holding the wine bowl, suddenly raised her head, and looked out through the wooden window.
"Third aunt, if you refuse this bowl of wine, you will enter my house tonight!"
Hong Sangu put down the wine bowl, feeling uneasy after all, she got up and walked out of the house.
The old bandit who was tearing apart was not very satisfied. He just laughed a few more words, but was slapped away by Hong Sangu and fell a few steps away.
"Third aunt, what's wrong?" All the old gangsters present stood up in a hurry.
"I thought I heard a horse braying."
Pushing open the door, Hong Sangu hurriedly walked around to the horse gallery. When she saw two fallen corpses and more than a dozen old horses with their stomachs cut open, their scarred faces suddenly turned hideous.
The clear whistle of the old bandit instantly pierced the rain curtain and sounded loudly.
Not long after, more than 30 old bandits raised their knives, took off their raincoats, and stepped out of the seven or eight thatched huts.
The leader was a tall and powerful man with a fierce expression, holding a scimitar in each hand.
"Where's the second child?"
"The second boss is still sleeping——"
Before the old gangster who replied had finished speaking, suddenly, a woman's scream came from a thatched house farther away.
Then, an equally tall and strong man, wearing a short robe and holding a blood-stained scimitar, walked closer.
"Third aunt, which group of people did you see?"
"Unable to see him, he stabbed the horse and ran away."
"The horse didn't bray?"
"Master Mo, the rain, the sound of the rain is getting louder, and it's covered."
Mo Da smiled evilly, raised his head, and stood in the rain looking around. Unfortunately, the rain curtain was too deep and I couldn't see very far.
“Master, without the horse, we will be trapped——”
The old gangster who was speaking was suddenly grabbed by Mo Da's hand and blocked in front of him. In just a few breaths, his body was stained red with blood.
A small arrow shot from nowhere, smashed into his chest.
"There is a divine archer!"
Throwing the body on the ground, Mo Da started running towards the thatched hut. In an instant, more than 30 old bandits also quickly retreated.
On the slope not far away, Xu Mu pressed his bamboo hat and looked coldly at the scene ahead.
The timing of the bow dog's attack was quite good, and it was not enough to alert the enemy, but it was a pity that it failed to kill the leader. Furthermore, with the bow dog's thin body, he was probably ready to shoot the arrow to the limit.
The current situation seems to have become tense.
"Brother Mu, kill him!"
"etc."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead and went straight to kill him. Even if Zhou Zun's four cavalry were added, the chance of victory would not be great.
"Longbow." Xu Mu shouted slightly.
Gong Dog quickly crawled away and leaned next to Xu Mu.
Seeing Gong Gou's swollen arms, Xu Mu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Gongou was still recovering from his injuries, but this round of killing list was really impossible without Gongou, the archer.
If the guess is correct, within half an hour at most, there will definitely be an old bandit coming out of the thatched hut to have a look.
"The long bow can still shoot a few arrows."
"Three arrows are no problem."
Xu Mu did not believe that although the bow dog was good at shooting, his weak body could not sustain it for a long time. So during this time, he has been thinking of ways to keep Gong Dog healthy.
"Wait until the old gangster who detects the wind comes out and shoots another round first."
"Don't worry, boss."
As Xu Mu expected, in just one stick of incense, an old bandit, as if he was scolded, hurriedly raised his knife and slowly walked out of the thatched hut.
Before taking a few more steps——
The bow dog's only eye suddenly flashed with light, and he quickly twisted the arrow and shot it.
The old bandit didn't have time to scream, his forehead was pierced by a small arrow, and he fell straight into the rain.
Gong Gou trembled and pulled back his arm, thinking that Xu Mu hadn't seen it, so he tied the robe he was wrapped in a small circle.
Xu Mu's eyes were numb. He twisted his hands and took off his robe. He found that Gongou's entire right arm was covered with bruises and swellings.
"Master, I'm fine."
"Longbow, go and rest."
Gongou still wanted to persist, but Sihu next to him simply picked him up and carried him to the old shelter tree behind.
Xu Mu looked coldly at the seven or eight thatched cottages in front of him.
Old gangsters who have managed to get to this point are not stupid, and naturally they will not let others take advantage of them. The greatest possibility is that when the situation between ourselves and the enemy is unclear, they will flee to the back mountain like a frightened bird.
The task of killing the list was to take the heads of the three old gangsters and hand them over to the official office in Weicheng.
Mo Da, Mo Er, Hong Sangu.
"Boss, these old gangsters are hiding, what should we do now?" Heifu wiped the rain off his face and spoke in a solemn voice.
"Brother Mu, go ahead and kill them. I'll hit a few more!"
Xu Mu shook his head seriously. The old bandits in the thatched house just couldn't figure out the situation and didn't have any fear. In other words, if he really wanted to kill them, the villagers he brought with him would still be at a disadvantage.
But fortunately, the old gangsters in this gang have no more horses.
…
In a thatched house at the edge of Horseshoe Lake. There were more than thirty old bandits, and the crowd was crowded.
They all held knives and kept yelling curses.
Outside the door, a corpse that had gone out to explore the wind was still lying in the water, staining the nearby turf red.
"Or the army?"
"No, if it were an official army, they would only pretend to be suppressing bandits and then withdraw immediately." Mo Da calmed his voice.
In the past two or three years, they have been entrenched on the edge of Horseshoe Lake. With the sky high and the road far away, and the mountains behind them, both the officers and soldiers and the nosy knights can turn danger into safety.
But this time, it seems to be different.
Is it unreasonable to just stab the horse?
"Master Mo, it's better to go into the mountains first." Hong Sangu raised her scarred face and said in a hoarse voice, "No matter who they are, avoid them first and then talk about them."
"That makes sense." Mo Da nodded. The divine archer lurking outside really made him a little scared. If he had moved slower just now, he might have been the one who got stabbed.
"Take the knife and go around to the back mountain first, and wait until daybreak to check the wind."
The thatched cottage leads to the back mountain, and there is a large lush forest that can be used for shelter. Not worried about the divine archer.
Just then, Mo Da took the people and prepared to go around the back mountain.
An old bandit who was guarding the edge of the thatched house suddenly ran over and spoke in a hasty voice.
"Master, someone just shouted from outside!"
"What to shout?"
"Lu Zizhong of Tangjiang City unveiled the plan to suppress the bandits. Please, please, please tie our hands and kneel down to accept surrender."
"Lu Zizhong! What the hell is this? Someone actually dares to kill Bang Bang!"
Pong!
Mo Da kicked a chair away in anger. I thought he was some great person, but I didn't know he was here to kill him.
"The officers and soldiers didn't dare to come, but here came the idiots who were willing to die!"
Behind Mo Da, there were more than thirty old bandits, all with angry faces. I wish I could run out immediately and chop up the killer named Lu Zizhong.
…
"Brother Mu, why don't you tell me your name?"
"I'm not stupid. We may not be able to kill all the more than 30 old bandits. Horseshoe Lake leads to the back mountain. There is no chance that any old bandits will escape and seek revenge in the future." Xu Mu looked calm.
"But no matter what, the three leaders must die."
