396 Why haven't you come yet?
"How do you know?"
The matter was quickly reported to Yan Ji, who walked out of the crowd, his smile completely gone, and asked with a frown.
When he put on a straight face, he was a little scary, the villager didn't dare to speak, and the village chief replied on his behalf: "He said that Erhei peeked at the side just now, and asked questions, and left after asking." Looking at the direction he walked, he went to Wuyao Village. ”
"Erhei is ......," Yan Ji asked.
"It's his nephew, who has already entered Wuyao Village, and is also a bandit!" said the village chief.
Yan Ji glanced over there, and the man shrank his head and looked afraid, but it was obviously afraid of him, the "official", not a robber from his relatives.
Yan Ji knew that this was a common thing in this kind of place, so he just frowned, asked the time and place, and his expression became more serious.
When he looked up again, the man snorted and didn't know where he was hiding.
"What now?" asked Xu San.
He was a little worried, but calm and not very flustered. As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Wen, who frowned and looked very ugly.
After all, he is still young and has not traveled far yet......
Xu San thought with a little pity, and was about to stretch out his hand to appease his junior brother, when he heard him say: "It's not good, there are so many of us, they still dare to come, that's ruthless." Most of them are to take advantage of the mess, kill a few people, kill a few people, and grab as many things as they can. But he can afford to kill people, but we can't afford to die! Ours can't afford to lose a single one!"
Reasonable!
Xu San's expression also changed. At this time, Yan Ji's face was slightly gentle, and he nodded to Xu Wen, obviously having the same idea as him.
In fact, now he is under more pressure than Xu Wen.
The situation of the 300 people in the Western Desert team is special, and it is normal for ordinary service teams to have attrition on the way to service, but this team is just like Xu Wen said, not one less person is good.
What's more, this time it was his negligence that temporarily arranged the task of the Dragon Temple, so that these people had a large amount of money in their hands, and the follow-up was not arranged, which caused the thieves to covet it.
What's more, there is a big baby in their team, he is missing a cold hair, and he has to bring his head to see him. If he dies...... Yan Ji didn't dare to think about it!
"Then what should I do?" Xu San subconsciously asked Xu Qian, habitually letting him take an idea.
But after asking, he regretted it, Xu Wen is so talented in craftsmanship, how can he get the idea of this kind of thing in front of him?
Sure enough, Xu Wen didn't speak immediately, but raised his head and looked around calmly, as if he had fallen into thought.
This kind of thing has not been experienced, and it is useless to think about it......
Xu San sighed and looked at Yan Ji again, only to find that the adult was also deep in thought, obviously unable to make up his mind for a while.
"There are more than 300 of us, and we must outnumber them. After a while, Yan Ji still didn't say anything, but Xu Wen turned around first and began to analyze, "These three hundred people are all young and strong, and they won't lose to them in terms of physical strength." ”
He looked around, this matter had not yet spread, and most of the people in the Western Desert Team had not heard the words of the village chief, and they were still looking at their new clothes with a smile, not knowing that the crisis was coming.
"In other words, in a head-to-head battle, we don't fall behind, the only problem is that our people don't have experience in this area, and it's easy to panic when they encounter injuries and bleeding, and it's easy to have an accident when they panic. Xu asked.
"That's right. And even if they say they don't panic, when it happens, their bodies move faster than their brains, and they are afraid that they will be frightened when they see a knife. Yan Ji shook his head.
"Panic is because they don't have confidence, if they can have confidence, it's fine. Xu Wen said thoughtfully.
"How do you have the confidence?" Yan Ji asked.
"Can you leave it to me?" asked Xu Wen, who pondered for a moment.
Yan Ji was a little hesitant, but still nodded.
At this time, he didn't have a score in his heart. Xu Wen is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, he dares to stand up at this time, he must have some ideas.
"Then please also ask Lord Yan for a favor and ask the village chief about the situation of Wuyao Village. Including the strength of the number of people in the village, the modus operandi of the leader, and so on. Know yourself and know your opponent, so that you can deal with it. Xu asked.
Even adults dare to support it...... Xu San couldn't help but glance at Xu Wen more.
"Okay. But Yan Ji just nodded again, and turned to the village chief to inquire.
"You ......" Xu San faced Xu Qian, and stopped talking. He had the heart to ask Xu Wen not to come out when he encountered this kind of thing in the future, and not to take the burden on himself, otherwise he would definitely be responsible if something happened. But thinking of my companion who had been with me for so many days, the words came to my lips and swallowed back.
There are so many people, he is also emotional, and no one wants to see less.
"Is there anything you want me to do?" he finally just asked.
"Senior brother, help me find the leaders of each group. Xu Wen seemed to see what he wanted to say and smiled at him.
"Okay. Xu San sighed, turned his head and went to work.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Wen asked the people in the village, looked at the situation in the vicinity very thoroughly, and also went into the cave to take a look.
There are few people in the village, and there are some empty caves, which were originally intended for them to come and live.
As soon as Xu Wen walked in, the cold around him suddenly disappeared completely, and he felt warm. He estimated that the temperature inside the cave was at least ten degrees warmer than outside.
It's really warm in winter and cool in summer...... But isn't it too damp and bad for the body?
He suddenly wandered a little.
However, he quickly gathered his thoughts and began to check the situation inside and outside the cave.
This cave was dug out of the mountain, half of it was underground, and in order to breathe in and transmit light, there were windows on the side wall facing the outside, which could accommodate a person to drill in and out.
It's a bit dangerous...... The most important thing is that he doesn't know anything about cave building, he doesn't know how it is dug up, he doesn't know what its roof walls are, and it is difficult to use it......
It would be nice to have more time.
At this time, it was getting noisy outside, Xu Wen went out, and saw that all the fifty team leaders had gathered, and obviously heard about it.
They were obviously a little panicked, Xu Wen calmed their emotions a little, and at this time, the news from Yan Ji's side also came.
The shape of the cave in the five kiln village is very special, I don't know when it was built, and it was later occupied by mountain bandits.
There were seventy or eighty of these bandits, which was not too many, but they were equipped with some weapons, including knives and swords, and all kinds of sharp and blunt weapons.
Their boss is unknown, only has a nickname, called Zhenshan Tiger.
The thieves in Wuyao Village mainly come from ten miles and eight villages, second-rate people who are idle in each family, and single households who can't get by and have nothing to eat.
Because of this, they are very well-informed. The officers and soldiers once went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, but they fled in time, leaving only an empty cave to come down. When the officers and soldiers were gone, they went to occupy the cave and still acted as their bandits.
Of course, they never attacked the local villages of Taiyue Mountain, only robbed the past merchants, and they still knew very well where their foundation was.
"Is it possible that the people here are in harmony with the inside and outside of Wuyao Village, and they caught us off guard?" Fang Jueming suddenly asked after listening.
"If they did, they wouldn't be able to stay now. Yan Ji said lightly.
"In that case, let's focus on self-preservation. Let's prepare some things first......" Xu Wen nodded and explained them one by one.
They are all craftsmen here, and they can't do anything else, and they must be the best at making things.
They hurried up and made some things such as horse rejection, traps, traps, etc., which were densely packed at the entrance of the village, and made sure that the bandits stepped on a few when they came, causing chaos.
They were originally waiting for work, and if the other party was messed up, it was their opportunity. They attack in small groups, with many enemies and few enemies, supporting each other, disarming each other first, and knocking each other down.
When the other party steps on the trap, there will be fewer people, so the number of people is constantly decreasing, and it is easy for them to control the situation.
"You can try. After listening to Xu Wen's words, Yan Ji said.
"It's better than sitting still!" Fang Jueming supported Xu Wen without hesitation.
The others didn't have an opinion, and the matter was decided like this, and everyone got busy.
Everyone was in an orderly manner, prepared all the preparations according to what Xu Wen said, and even did more self-exertion, all set in the place where they should be.
Xu Wen was right, this was the thing they were most familiar with, and when they were doing these things, they naturally calmed down, and the last panic in their hearts disappeared.
"It's like beating a dog. Suddenly, someone said that.
The person next to him laughed, and gradually felt that this was really it.
Having everything ready, they began to wait.
Yan Ji heard that Wuyao Village had to turn over a hill from here, about an hour away.
Time is very tight, so the Ximo team was working with the attitude of rushing to work at the beginning.
As a result, the people didn't come after they were done, and after waiting for a long time, they still didn't come.
It was late when they arrived, and there was still no one in the middle of the moon.
Everyone was in good spirits at first, but they became more and more sleepy, and finally some people yawned, yawning one after another, and many people's snot and tears came out.
"Are you going to wait until we're the most sleepy before you suddenly rush over and beat us up?" someone speculated.
"Maybe...... Wait a little longer!" someone forcibly pulled himself together.
At this time, Xu Wen was also vigilant. If it is really as they guessed, the other party deliberately dragged them to wait for work, they would really be a little dangerous......
What should I do, do I have a night shift?
He was about to call all the group leaders to rearrange it, when he saw Qiao Zhi coming over, and handed him a letter a little inexplicably, saying, "Brother Fourteen, the letter from someone gave you." ”
"Who?" Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took it.
"I don't know...... Name to you. Qiao Zhi scratched his head.
Name me?
Anyone else I know here?
