"PS: It's a bit late today, and I guess the second chapter will be after twelve o'clock."

———— the following text————

The battle in Yangcun ended quickly, and Hao Shun, who was the leader of the team, led his brothers to enter the village with lightning speed, and he himself personally killed the leader of the green forest thieves, a guy named Mi Liang, and cut off the other party's head.

"Yikes!"

The women in the house, who had been kidnapped by Mira, screamed in fear.

Hao Shun glanced at the naked carcass, and for some reason, there was not much reaction in his heart.

Although the family in his family doesn't like to talk much, and even is still a little estranged from him, Hao Shun still thinks that the family is good, after all, it is the woman who belongs to him, and the village is in charge.

As for her silence and estrangement, Hao Shun can also understand it, after all, as far as he knows, his family is not bad, it seems that he is the daughter of a wealthy family in Xiping County, in the past, he could not marry such a woman at all.

Her silence about him may also be due to the sadness and helplessness that commits her to the fate of a bandit.

But even so, she fulfilled her duties as a wife, sewing clothes for him and tidying up the house, nothing but ...... Still don't like to talk.

"When I become the Daibenmu, I should be worthy of her, right?"

Hao Shun thought secretly.

He is currently in the team, according to the official system in the village, there are only two levels of 'Du Bai' and 'Benmu' from Da Benmu, considering that there are not many people at the level of 'Da Benmu' in the cottage, and among them, people like Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Ma Hong and others do not belong to the brigade camp, so the speed of promotion at this time is very fast - not necessarily in the future.

This is also the reason why Hao Shun is holding back his strength and wants to earn enough merit as soon as possible.

Don't look at his poor background, his appearance is a little rough, but he has a clever brain.

At this moment, a black tiger thief walked into the house, clasped his fists and said, "Team Zheng, that other group of brothers, is under Xu Bai and Xu Team Zheng." …… Team Xu is heading this way. ”

"Xu Bai?"

Of course, Hao Shun knew Xu Bai, after all, the two of them were newcomers who joined Black Tiger Village in the same period.

It's just that he is not as lucky as Xu Bai and Wang Ping, as soon as he arrived in the cottage, he was valued by Liu Tu, who is now the head of the minim, and for a long time, he was not conspicuous in the cottage, and it was not until the first battle of Kunyang that he became famous.

No, to be exact, it should be that he showed some dissatisfaction with the big leader Zhou Hu after the war, which is why he became famous.

That incident made Hao Shunhou afraid, but fortunately, the big leader was very angry, so instead of blaming him, he also asked the village to choose a woman with good looks and good background for him to marry, and even let him be the team leader.

This amount of gas is not small.

At least Hao Shun himself couldn't do it, and he still had a little bit of a problem with the few brothers who alienated him for fear of being implicated.

Although it will not retaliate, I believe that I will not get too close to him in the future.

"Hao Shun."

In the distance, Xu Bai walked towards this side with a torch, and greeted Hao Shun during the process.

Because it is the same level, there is no need to pay too much attention to the rules in the village, Hao Shun only nodded in response, and asked casually, "Have you met other brothers?" ”

"Nope."

Xu Bai shook his head, and when he got closer, he said to Hao Shun: "It seems that there are only you and me in this place......"

After that, he glanced at Hao Shun and felt a little regretful in his heart.

As for regrets, it is nothing more than that he was not very familiar with Hao Shun in front of him before.

He also thought that the 'other group of brothers' would be Wang Ping, so that he could take the time to chat with Wang Ping, after all, after 'getting married', he and Wang Ping had many fewer opportunities to be alone.

Just as the two were chatting, two black tiger thieves under Hao Shun came over, and after hugging their fists to Xu Bai, they said to Hao Shunyu: "Team Zheng, the count has been counted, five new brothers died, and another thirteen people were injured, two of them were seriously injured, one was cut to the shoulder with a knife, and the other was stabbed in the abdomen......"

"Tsk!"

Hao Shun sighed with a little annoyance, and his original good mood suddenly disappeared.

was prepared for the attack, but five people were killed and more than ten were wounded, how could he, who had just become a team leader, not be annoyed?

"Those newcomers are really useless!"

Because of Xu Bai's presence, Hao Shun did not scold, but there was a lot of unhappiness in his heart.

"Isn't it too aggressive?" Xu Bai interjected euphemistically.

It is undeniable that even in his opinion, this Hao Shun is indeed very brave, but he does not have much experience in leading a team, and only knows how to do it brutely, so that the new brothers can't keep up, and naturally there will be casualties.

As soon as he heard that Hao Shun took the lead in attacking the village and killing the leader of the Green Forest Thieves, Xu Bai guessed that this guy's idea was still at the stage of 'being a pawn', and he was not a qualified 'general' at all.

A qualified general will only stand up at critical times, use his own bravery to motivate the soldiers, and is only responsible for command in normal times, and will not compete with the soldiers for credit.

Just like him Xu Bai, this time he only killed two green forest thieves, most of the time in command, although more than a dozen of his men were wounded, but none of them died, and those wounded were not in danger of endangering their lives.

That's the gap.

Of course, Xu Bai also thought about these thoughts in his heart, after all, he and Hao Shun are not familiar with each other, and they are at the same level as each other, so it is enough to point to the end, there is no need to say it too bluntly to make Hao Shun unable to get off the stage.

"Hmm."

Hao Shun glanced at Xu Bai, and then nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later, the casualty figures of the green forest thieves were also counted, a total of 130 people were killed in the village and outside the village, about 50 people surrendered, and about a dozen others scattered and fled.

In addition, more than 30 false thieves surrendered to them, and rescued more than a dozen women who were forcibly captured.

Although it relied on sneak attacks, with the black tiger thieves of 50 people in each of the two teams, he was able to make such achievements, and in general, Hao Shun still felt very excited.

After consulting with Xu Bai, Hao Shun waved his hand and ordered: "Green forest thieves, kill them all, and tell those new brothers who have not killed anyone to do it." ”

At the order, the green forest thieves who surrendered immediately began to cry and beg for mercy.

Even some of them, seeing that these 'black turban soldiers' refused to let them go, they rose up to resist, but in the end, these green forest thieves who had been disarmed in advance were all slaughtered by the black tiger thieves who outnumbered them, and the thirty or so pseudo-thieves kneeling beside them trembled in fright.

At this time, in addition to the black tiger thieves in the village, there was only a group of pseudo-thieves and a woman who was captured by the green forest thieves.

"What about these people?" Hao Shun and Xu Bai discussed.

Xu Bai thought for a while and said: "The county will not accept it, tell them to go to the cottage, this group of pseudo-thieves can be used as 'subordinates', there is a shortage of labor in the village, as for these women...... Ask them about their wishes, there's no need to force them. ”

Hao Shun nodded, and then asked Xu Baidao: "Do you go or do I go?" ”

Xu Bai saw Hao Shun's thoughts at a glance, smiled and said, "No, I have a better way." ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword with a bang, walked slowly to the puppet thieves, and said to one of them, "Stretch out the man." ”

The puppet thieves were frightened, especially the one who was named, and he kowtowed again and again: "Spare your life, spare your life." …… We were originally refugees from the side of the county lieutenant of Wu, and we were coerced by the green forest thieves, so we had to succumb to them as a last resort, hoping that the righteous soldiers of the Black Tiger would spare their lives......"

Yes, these puppet thieves were basically captured by Miliang in Zhushan in the north, after all, the pseudo-thieves under Miliang had almost died in the Battle of Kunyang a while ago.

But Xu Bai was unmoved, and said lightly: "I know that you and others used to be from Wu Zhi's side, but you and others obeyed the Green Forest Thief and aided in the abuse, I don't think you and others will be accepted by Wu Zhi's people again, but don't worry, I won't kill you, just leave a mark for you...... Reach out. ”

The hypocrisy shuddered and stretched out his hand.

Seeing this, Xu Bai took his sword and made two shallow cuts on the left palm of the pseudo-thief's hand, the wound was not deep, only two shallow blood marks.

At this time, he said in a deep voice: "Later, you will go north, go to Black Tiger Mountain, and honestly explain the situation to my brothers in Black Tiger Village, and they will make arrangements for you." …… Don't try to run away. If Wu Zhi's side is willing to accept you, then that's it; If you go to the Green Forest Thief again, the next time you are caught by us, and you see the mark in your hand, you will be killed as a Green Forest Thief. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The puppet shook his head in horror.

Immediately, he asked timidly: "No, I don't know how your village will settle me?" ”

Xu Bai put the sword back into the sheath and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just to ask you to build mountain roads and do some hard work, of course, it's not for you to work in vain, at least I will give you life-saving rations." In addition, if you wait for peace, according to the rules of my cottage, you can regain your freedom after three years, even if you want to join my Black Tiger Village, it is not impossible. ”

Hearing this, these pseudo-thieves were relieved and expressed their willingness to defect to the Black Tiger Village.

Subsequently, Xu Bai and Hao Shun asked those women again.

I don't know if they are afraid of them, some of the women expressed their willingness to go to the Black Tiger Village, while the other part remained silent.

Seeing this, Xu Bai instructed the pseudo-thieves who had left marks on the palm of his left hand: "Wait, and protect these women to go to the Black Tiger Village, and someone will settle you." ”

A group of pseudo-thieves only promised, and with the group of women who were also afraid of the black tiger thieves, they fled and left Yang Village.

In this regard, Hao Shun was quite puzzled and asked Xu Baidao: "Why don't you send a brother to follow?" If they don't send their brothers to follow, these people will defect to Wu Zhi again. ”

"So what?" Xu Bai smiled and said: "Unlike the pseudo-thieves we killed a while ago, these people have just been captured by the Green Forest Thieves, and they haven't had time to do evil, their nature should be quite pure, even if they defect to Wu Zhi, it's nothing." …… The reason why I left a mark on them is just that they defected to the Green Forest Thieves, because I think it may be difficult for these people to be accepted by Wu Zhi and the others anymore. The same is true of those women, and I have given them a choice, and let them decide for themselves...... For these people, there are not many cottages, and there are many of them, which is not a big deal, and there is no need to send brothers to follow, which delays the major event of you and me entering the green forest to suppress the thieves. ”

The last sentence really said that Hao Shun's careful thinking made Hao Shun laugh a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Hao Shun no longer asked, Xu Bai smiled slightly, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the pseudo-thieves and the woman left, and added a sentence in his heart.

『…… By the way, I can also bring a message to Na Wu Zhi."

In Xu Bai's opinion, if Wu Zhi is still smart, he should understand that they who are not accepted by the county government can only get food by defecting to Black Tiger Village at the moment.

And this is the only thing Xu Bai can do to help that group of refugees.
