In Black Wind Ridge, Xiao Liu rushed here early in the morning, and he wanted to hand over to Lao Xing.
"Liu, your method is of no use. This group of bandits refuses to come out. According to the secret sentry following them, they didn't even enter those thatched houses."
Lao Xing led his people to guard the area outside Heifeng Ridge for a whole day and night, but the bandits were not only chasing people out, but they did not even leave the village gate. This made him very distressed. Could it be that their Was the plan seen through by the other party?
Xiao Liu also frowned and thought deeply when he heard this. It shouldn't be. Even if the other party suspected that they were ambushing them, they should send someone out to investigate. Where could they be as safe and motionless as now? Could it be that they were not in a hurry to escape at all.
This group of bandits are not stupid people. They charged several times before regardless of casualties and were obviously eager to escape. But now they are so confident. Could it be that they have a back-up plan?
Xiaoliu was thinking about the abnormal behavior of these bandits, and he felt more and more uneasy, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said to Lao Xing:
"It's okay, Master, this method will not be effective in a day or two. It will take time to continuously lower the bandits' alertness. Now I'll leave this to Xiaoliu. You can take ten brothers back first." Go and take charge in the town, after all, the safety of this town depends on you."
Lao Xing also nodded when he heard this. He knew that Xiao Liu's martial arts skills were better than his own, so it was more suitable for him to stay here.
"Well, okay, then I'll leave this place to you. If anything happens, send someone to report to me immediately."
"It's Master!" Xiao Liu quickly responded with his fists clasped.
Seeing Xiao Liu's steady look, Lao Xing patted Xiao Liu's shoulder with satisfaction, a look of relief on his face.
Then, he turned around and prepared to take people away, but suddenly he thought of something and quickly turned back.
Lao Xing came to Xiao Liu's ear and asked softly: "Liu, what about Miss Murong?"
When Xiao Liu heard this, he secretly said, "He forgot to explain, but he couldn't make it up on the spot. After all, he didn't know if Murong Yan was gone, so he had to say:"
"Master, Miss Murong should still be at Tongfu Inn. It's probably too late for you to rush back now."
When Lao Xing heard this, he felt something was wrong and asked quickly. "No, have you explained to Shopkeeper Tong and the others what my master has asked you to do?"
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xiao Liu forgot."
"You, you, you, you kid, why did you forget such an important thing?" Lao Xing looked at Xiaoliu, so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Xiao Liu saw his master like this. Although he knew that nothing was wrong, it was hard for him to explain. He quickly advised:
"Master, you have to blame Xiao Liu. There is plenty of time to go back. But we should hurry back now, otherwise it will be too late if Miss Murong leaves."
When Lao Xing heard this, he immediately ran towards Qixia Town without saying a word.
Xiao Liu looked at his master working in a hurry and smiled and shook his head.
But he quickly retracted his gaze and turned to look in the direction of Black Wind Village, with a solemn look in his eyes.
'What kind of medicine are these bandits selling in their gourds? '
Xiao Liu jumped away, he wanted to see it with his own eyes!
. . . . . .
In the city of Luoyang, in a small house located in a deep alley on a street corner, two people sat opposite each other.
"How's it going? I've paid the deposit. Have your people been dispatched?"
The man with an honest face asked. This person was none other than Xie Zhongda. After several days of exploration and a lot of money to clear the way, he finally connected with the largest underworld intermediary in Luoyang City.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. Since we have accepted this deal, we will not regret it. He is already on the way. I believe that within a few days, the things Mr. Xie wants will be delivered." Wearing white clothes, holding hands Taking the folding fan, the handsome man dressed as a scholar smiled.
"That's good! What about the other thing I said?" Looking at the man's smile, Xie Zhongda couldn't help but feel a hint of danger in his heart.
"That matter is not urgent. After all, we still need to recruit people?" the man said with a smile.
"Well, please hurry up. If we take action within five days, I can add another thousand taels. For every day ahead of time, I can add another five hundred taels." Xie Zhongda was tempted. He knew that time waits for no one.
"Easy to say, easy to say." The man did not agree directly, but nodded with a smile.
After Xie Zhongda saw that he had finished saying what he wanted to say, he left quickly. The man in front of him always gave him a very dangerous feeling.
After Xie Zhongda left, a man bowed and walked into the house.
"Sir, these bandits used the money we lost. It's obvious that they are the bandits who robbed our East Factory. Why should we help him contact the killer? Why don't we just kill them..."
The man made a clicking gesture.
However, the scholar in white waved his folding fan and said with a smile:
"The thing is lost because those losers are not doing their job properly. It has nothing to do with us. They come to the door, they are guests, and they are not from our Dongchang. Besides, don't mention that we are from the Dongchang in the future. , The Governor has his own arrangements, we don’t need to reveal our identity for this mere thirty thousand taels.”
"It's my lord!" A trace of cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead.
. . . . . .
Outside Black Wind Stronghold, Xiao Liu carefully explored the area but returned without success. As expected, as his master said, the bandits were as usual and were on tight alert.
Xiao Liu looked at the steep cliff, estimated the distance and shook his head. His current internal strength was not enough to support him in climbing over such steep terrain, and it would take some time for him to do so.
However, although these bandits cannot be taken down in a short period of time, Xiao Liu is not worried because he believes that these bandits will soon be unable to hold on any longer.
After all, one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness. Once a person settles down, his vigilance and willpower will be greatly weakened, especially in the face of temptation.
And as long as one person opens the door first, the desire valves of all the remaining bandits will also open, and they will get bigger and bigger.
Xiao Liu asked everyone to continue to lurk patiently.
Sure enough, one night, a bandit sneaked out of Heifeng Village. He lurked next to a thatched house built by Xiaoliu and the others. He looked around. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly picked up a bandit. The big pile of thatch ran away.
Although this thatched grass is simple, it is still much better than sleeping on rocks on weekdays.
And with the first successful person, the bandits behind him also followed suit.
Moreover, with their continuous success, the bandits became more and more courageous. At first, they would sneak out at night to get some thatch and then go out to move things in broad daylight.
