"Bang-"

With the sharpness of his sword, Margai cut the ropes that bound his hands and then the ropes on his feet.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked out of the cave quickly with a sword in his hand and looked around, but unfortunately, at this time, Yang Tong, Guo Da, and Zhao Yu had long since disappeared.

This also means that it is almost impossible for Margai to get the confession back.

How did it come to this?

He was the county lieutenant of Kunyang County, and he actually gave the handle to a group of Ying thieves.

He slashed a nearby tree with his sword as if he were angry, and slashed a dozen swords in a row, and the sharp blade almost cut down the tree, and then he gradually calmed down.

『…… Now is not the time to regret it, and you must meet up with your subordinates as soon as possible."

After he calmed down, a thought quickly popped into his mind.

He immediately turned and ran down the mountain, but after a few steps, he hesitated, turned back to the cave, and looked at the two bandit corpses on the ground with a frown.

After a moment's hesitation, he raised his sword and cut off the heads of the two bandits' corpses, and immediately held them up in front of him by the hair.

From the expressions of these two heads, he could clearly see the horror and difference of the two bandits when they were dying—even Ma Gai didn't expect that Yang Tong would kill two of his subordinates who trusted him without hesitation.

"Yingshan Tiger Yang Tong ......"

With the two heads in one hand and the sword in the other, Ma Gai left the cave and walked briskly down the mountain.

As he walked, he remembered in his heart that he had just seen the three bandits.

Yingshan Tiger Yang Tong......

Eagle Guo Da......

There is also a child named Zhou Hu, who seems to be only in his teens.

Compared with Yang Tong and Guo Da, the teenage child named Zhou Hu made Ma Gai a little concerned.

I remember that when Fang Na Yang swore that only the four of them knew about this matter, he didn't believe it in his heart, after all, there were still those two thieves outside the cave at that time.

But it turned out that Yang Tong was indeed 'trustworthy', he summoned the two bandits and killed them with a sword.

And the question arises, why did Yang Tong kill the two trusted subordinates, but not the child named Zhou Hu next to him?

Could it be that Yang Tong treats children openly?

How can it be!

Since Yang Tong can be so ruthless as to kill a subordinate who trusts him, what is it to kill a child? Killing that kid can reduce one more insider, isn't it?

However, Yang Tong did not do that, it can be seen that that child has a certain weight in Yang Tong's heart.

Then the question arises: what is the origin of that child named Zhou Hu? Could it be that this son is a relative of Yang Tong? Or is this kid one of the stewards of Yang Tong's gang of bandits?

In this regard, Ma Gai has no way of knowing for the time being, and he has no intention of thinking about it, at this moment, he is desperate to find his subordinates, so as not to let people know that he was captured by Yang Tong and his gang, and even fell into the handle in humiliation.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a group of people, and the other party also noticed him, and from a distance, he shouted excitedly: "County lieutenant? Is it the county lieutenant of Ma? ”

After waiting for Ma Gai's confirmation, those people in the distance rushed over happily, including the county officials of Kunyang County and the recruited rangers.

Even, among them, there is a ranger who Ma Gai had a conversation with yesterday, Ishihara.

"County lieutenant?"

"County Lieutenant, are you alright?"

"I heard that a gang of bandits knocked you out and kidnapped you......"

Under the gossip of the county guards and the rangers, Ma Gai secretly calmed down.

Seeing that Ma Gai was safe and sound, the county guards were also relieved.

But soon, some people wondered how Ma Gai escaped from the bandits.

Seeing this, Ma Gai raised the heads of the two bandits in his hand and said with a smile: "This group tied me up with ropes and locked me in a cave, I don't know what they want to do, probably preparing to threaten the government with me?" …… But they underestimated me so much that they left only two bandits to guard me, and I took advantage of the two bandits' inattention, snatched their swords, killed them, and then cut the ropes and came back...... But really, I hunted eagles all day long, and today I was almost blinded by an eagle's peck. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, looked at the two heads in Ma Gai's hands, and had no doubts.

Seeing this, Ma Gai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little lucky, glad that what Yang Tong and his gang did, ordinary people couldn't imagine - who would have thought that a group of bandits would have the audacity to try to control a county lieutenant?

Secretly relieved, Ma Gai quietly diverted the topic: "How is the situation in the camp?" ”

Hearing this, the county guards and rangers, who were still excited about Ma Gai's escape, looked at each other one by one.

Immediately, a county official clenched his fists and said: "Back to the county lieutenant, because of the ...... Because you were nowhere to be seen, everyone in the camp was in disarray, and although they eventually repelled the bandits, they ...... They set fire to the camp and burned a lot of things, and they burned the grain and grass......"

Ma Gai was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's go, go back to the camp first." ”

"Yes!"

And when Ma Gai and the county guards who came out to find him converged with the rangers and prepared to return to the camp, Yang Tong also happened to return to the Black Tiger Village with Guo Da and Zhao Yu.

At this time, in the Black Tiger Village, the bandits of Shizhai were celebrating the successful sneak attack on the officers and soldiers under the mountain, for this reason, the house was extremely busy, slaughtering chickens and ducks, boiling meat and wine, and sending barrels of meat and wine to the inside and outside of the house for the bandits of Shizhai to enjoy.

Seeing this, Yang Tong smiled and said to Guo Da and Zhao Yu: "Guo Da, Zhou Hu, let's go, let's go drink too." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu paused and said, "Master Dazhai, I feel a little unwell, let me go back and rest." ”

Guo Da turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yu.

He could obviously feel that Zhao Yu was a little unhappy at this moment, in fact, he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, if nothing else, he killed the two thieves for Yang Tong.

That's one of them.

Yang Tong glanced at Zhao Yu, nodded and said, "Okay, then you can rest." …… By the way, there are some things that you two don't want to leak. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yu clenched his fists and turned to walk.

Looking at Zhao Yu's back as he gradually walked away, Yang Tong shook his head and smiled: "It's a child after all." ”

At this time, Guo Da finally couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice, "Boss, why do you want to ...... So? The big head and the short foot are both trustworthy brothers......"

"The premise is that they don't eat and drink for the rest of their lives." Yang Tong glanced at Guo Da and said in a deep voice: "The importance of the horse cover, you don't need to say it, you also know it." With him as an internal response, we can know everything about Kunyang County...... Therefore, I want to make sure that Namagai will not be suspected by others, and is it not worth sacrificing two brothers for it? ”

Guo Da looked hesitant.

In all fairness, it was certainly worth it to use the sacrifice of the two bandits to ensure that the Ma Gai who had surrendered to them would not be suspected by the Kunyang officers and soldiers, but ......

"But that's our brother......" he said hesitantly.

Yang Tong glanced at Guo Da and said, "Those who become big things are not informal." …… Look at the people who have defected to us recently, even Liu Heimu is hesitating to defect to us, are you still afraid that no one is available? Don't worry, our manpower will only grow bigger and bigger. …… Let's go, this is the end of this matter, let's eat and drink! ”

“……”

Guo Da opened his mouth and nodded silently.

I have to say that in the entire Black Tiger Village, Guo Da, as Yang Tong's henchman, can be said to know Yang Tong best, but recently, Guo Da feels that this boss has gradually become a little strange.

Especially today, like Zhao Yu, he didn't expect Yang Tong to actually kill those two brothers.

Although Yang Tong's explanation made him unable to refute, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

At the same time, Zhao Yu returned to his residence, lying on the grass with his hands on his pillow, recalling what he had experienced today.

I don't know how long later, the door of the house creaked open, Jingnu walked in, and saw Zhao Yu lying on the grass bunk, she ran to the front in a hurry and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What?" Zhao Yu, who was interrupted from his thoughts, looked puzzled.

Jingnu carefully touched Zhao Yu's body to ensure that Zhao Yu did not have any trauma, which made Zhao Yu confused.

It turned out that as the 'younger brother' of 'Zhou Hu', Zhou Jing, Jingnu's status in the Black Tiger Village was somewhat special, and as Zhao Yu was increasingly reused by Yang Tong, the thieves under Yang Tong's hands became more and more disrespectful to Jingnu and did not dare to send her, so that Jingnu was very idle all day long.

Therefore, whenever Zhao Yu was not in the cottage, she ran to the gang room to help Xu Fen take care of Deng Bai, Deng Song brothers and Ning Niang, so as not to be bullied.

And when she was helping in the room, she heard that Yang Tong took Guo Da and Zhao Yu back to the cottage, so Jingnu went to the big house to find Zhao Yu, but she didn't expect to learn from Guo Da that Zhao Yu was unwell and went back to the house to rest, and Jingnu hurriedly returned to the residence of the two.

"I see."

After listening to Jing Nu's explanation, Zhao Yu suddenly realized, patted the back of Jing Nu's hand and said, "I'm fine, but something happened to make me ...... It's just a little uncomfortable. ”

Jingnu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened?" Can you tell me about it? ”

I have to say that Zhao Yu was also uncomfortable in his heart, and after hesitating, he took Jingnu in his arms and told her the truth.

Maybe Yang Tong and Guo Da thought that Zhao Yu was uncomfortable because Yang Tong killed his own people, but in fact this was not the case.

Yang Tong killed two of his own people, although this matter was beyond Zhao Yu's expectations, but Zhao Yu was not sad for the two evil thieves - it was also Guo Da's sadness to be sad, after all, they were the same kind of people.

As for Zhao Yu, at best, he once again recognized Yang Tong's bottomless character.

What really made Zhao Yu a little uncomfortable was because he threatened Ma Gai with Ma Gai's family today, forcing the upright county lieutenant to give in in order to protect his family, which made him faintly feel that he had done the same thing as those Liangcheng soldiers.

Zhao Yu didn't know whether Yang Tong would kill his own people in the past, but at least today's facts proved that Yang Tong, who is now ambitious, will attack his own people without hesitation.

And he Zhao Yu ......

Something similar was done, threatening Ma Gai's family with him......

Although this is not a violation of the bottom line, after all, he did not threaten him by tying up Ma Gai's family, but it is undeniable that he touched his own bottom line, and he is only one step away from crossing that bottom line......

How different can this be from Yang Tong's behavior?

Yang Tong can do whatever it takes to be ambitious, and he, who prides himself on being moral, obviously underestimates himself - it turns out that he can also do anything for revenge and to achieve his goals......

Yes, he noticed his own changes from Yang Tong's changes, and this was what made Zhao Yu feel disgusted and worried the most.
