Since participating in the "Elk War", in the following two years, in several major battles around the territory, Zhou Ming has become an "old fritter". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This kind of war, in the final analysis, is a war between noble knights, and has nothing to do with farmers like him.

Moreover, these lords and knights who have been training in the castle all day and night have long been idle, so it is better to fight a few fights with the surrounding lords and move their muscles.

As for those farmers who come on the field, one function is to increase the lively atmosphere of the battlefield, and the other is to brush their heads on the battlefield, and it is harmless to kill a few dozen farmers.

The real danger to the farmers is indeed the thieves who have been active in the mountains and forests for a long time, and are proficient in all kinds of traps and poisons.

Zhou Ming followed the encirclement and suppression of thieves once, a group of thieves was only eight or nine people, Baron Connor led thousands of people to surround and suppress for more than ten days, and paid the price of more than 20 casualties, before driving this group of thieves out of the territory, and only killed three of them.

And in the process of encirclement and suppression, Zhou Ming almost stepped on the air and fell into a trap full of sharpened wooden sticks.

However, this encirclement and suppression, Zhou Ming was not without gains.

Among the cunning thieves was an unlucky man who was hit by an arrow in the thigh that Edward had shot at him, and because he couldn't run too fast, the unlucky man was abandoned by his accomplices.

Following the faint traces of blood, in an inconspicuous ravine, Zhou Ming found the unlucky ghost hiding in this bush.

"Come out, don't hide. ”

The spear in Zhou Ming's hand pointed at the bushes.

"Chirp~!"

A dagger glowing with blue light came straight towards Zhou Ming's façade!

Zhou Ming, who had been alert for a long time, turned his head, and the dagger flew past against his face, inserting it into the dirt slope behind.

"I'll count three, and if I don't come out, I'll poke it down......!"

Before he could count to three, a self-deprecating voice came from the bushes: "I didn't expect my thief Jairo to die at the hands of an unknown boy today, lucky boy, give me to Earl William of Mason's county, you can get a bounty of 500 gold coins from him." ”

Zhou Ming sneered: "When I get the 500 gold coin bounty, it must be when I am dying and the gold coins are snatched away, right?"

This cunning thief is still playing this hand when he is dying.

The thief Jairo was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Very smart boy, it seems that you want to kill me directly?"

Zhou Ming put away the spear and said, "If I want to kill you, do I need so much nonsense, I have already pierced the spear into it just now." ”

The thief Jairo was even more surprised: "You don't plan to kill me, my head can be exchanged for a lot of rewards from your lord." ”

"I don't think of that reward, it's even more useful for me to keep you!"

Zhou Ming threw the spear aside, squatted down, and carried this thief in his thirties, with yellow hair, brown eyes, and a lean build, much like a northern barbarian, to a safe place, treated his wounds, and fed him some jerky and cheese.

"Hey, little one, why did you save me?"

More than ten days later, the thief Jairo, whose wound was almost healed, finally couldn't help but ask.

Let him go north and south to meet all kinds of characters, he really has never seen a young man who is only sixteen years old, but has so many things hidden in his heart, and has done so many things that are incomprehensible to him.

"I saved your life because I wanted to leave a way back for my future. ”

When changing the dressing for his wound, Zhou Ming raised his head and said bluntly.

"Back road, what back road, do you want to be a thief like me?little guy, I admit that you are a good seedling, but being a thief is not a fun thing, when your head is worth more than five hundred gold coins on the wanted warrant, you have to be careful of your companions who may do something to you at any time...... It's not an easy job. ”

The thief Jairo shook his head, the thief is chic, but behind the chic, who can know the risks behind it?

Zhou Ming explained: "You misunderstood what I meant, the back road I am referring to is not necessarily to join you as a thief, but to hope that in the future, when I encounter problems, I can find a helper to help, I will save your life, you owe me a favor, so I need you to help me." ”

"Little one, it's good that you saved my life, but I didn't promise to help you, especially when this favor might take my life, don't be wishful!"

The thief Jairo shook his head and said, among the people he knows, there are those who draw knives against their teammates for a hundred gold coins, and those who stab their brothers twice for a good look, and they really haven't met a few, and after being saved by someone, they will return their lives.

"Don't worry, I'm measured, I won't put your life into it, besides, you have your own brains, dangerous things, even if someone forces you to do it, you won't do it yourself......"

Zhou Ming threw out another bait and said: "Moreover, you thieves, before killing people and setting fires, and robbing houses, you don't know how to use your brains...... Are all the so-called thieves like you?"

"Ahem, little ghost, shut up for me! We all touched the bottom before we started, and the dozen or so territories around here are the richest in the Glen Territory, otherwise how would we come here?"

The thief Jairo coughed violently twice, his old face turned red, what this little ghost said seemed to be the way, could it be that he, a person who has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, understands better?

In fact, this has something to do with Zhou Ming, in the past ten years, because of the formation of the habit of centralized processing of manure and frequent application of manure, the crop yield of the Gran Territory has increased, and the number of plague outbreaks has decreased, even if some people have been lost due to the war, but compared to many surrounding territories, it is indeed the Gran Territory with the largest population and the most abundant products.

"There is money in the king's treasury, so why don't you rob it...... If you want me to say, you still pay too little attention to intelligence work, otherwise you wouldn't have lost money, but you would have suffered heavy losses. ”

was said to be like this by a little ghost who was almost a generation younger, Ren is thief Jairo understood that this little ghost had some truth, but he was still very unconvinced: "You little ghost can just talk about it, uncle, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, what kind of treasure has not been robbed by a woman? This time there was just a slight accident, and you are not a thief, what do you know?"

"I really don't have that right to say you...... In this way, when you have recovered from your injuries, you can call all your remaining companions over, and I will explore the way for you, and go to Rose Town to rob it again, if you succeed, the treasure will be all yours, and if you fail, I will leave you at your disposal, and by the way, you will also write off the favors you owe me, how about this?"

Zhou Ming felt that if he didn't come up with some actual results, this big thief Jairo might not obey his orders so easily.

"Imp, that's what you said?"

The thief Jairo was moved, although this little ghost was a little loud, the proposed plan was indeed very attractive, and, as this little ghost said, in terms of intelligence, their attention was too low, they only knew that there was money here, and then they came to rob it, how did they know that the knights here were so powerful......

If you rely on this kid to find out the route and action goal, and take a handful and leave, the risk will definitely be much smaller than the last time.

Just try it according to what this little ghost says!
