Volume 1 Crossing the Rivers and Lakes and Involving Temples Chapter 123 A Friend Comes from Far Away
On the top of the slope of a small hill in the woods, a handsome young man in a black leather coat fiddled with the repeater in his hand, and from time to time aimed at the direction of Ye Chen and the others, but the repeater in his hand never shot the crossbow arrow that had been attached to the string.
After a while, a shout came from behind him: "Big boss, this time I encountered hard stubble, and more than a dozen of us are not the opponents of those people under the mountain." ”
The man in the black leather coat didn't look back at the masked stupid big man who ran up, and said slowly: "Withdraw, we can't do this." ”
The rugged man with a mink hat beside the man said suspiciously: "Big boss, we still have dozens of brothers behind us who haven't moved, what are you withdrawing?" ”
"Yes, big boss, let me take my brothers to them again, this time I am sure to win, and they have a lot of silver tickets in their hands!" The stupid big man said.
The leather-clad man turned his head and glanced at the stupid big man who was so tired that he was panting and said, "I see that you are healed, and you have forgotten the pain, and you have forgotten how you were kicked off the carriage just now?" ”
The stupid big man then remembered Hu Jie in the carriage, and said with wide eyes: "Big boss, the person who kicked me in the carriage just now is the leader who was robbed of the grain cart by our brothers yesterday." ”
The leather-clad man turned around and slapped the stupid big man on the head, and his hat almost fell off. The stupid big man asked puzzledly: "Big boss, what are you doing beating me?" ”
The leather-clothed man made a gesture to get up and kick him, but he was so frightened that he stepped back, and hurriedly laughed: "Big boss, I was wrong." ”
"Get out, why didn't they say it earlier because they were the ones you robbed yesterday, they obviously came prepared." The leather-clad man feigned anger.
The leather-clothed man who is known as the big boss is called Wu Liu, a local, who lived a hard life after returning to his hometown a few years ago, and had no choice but to take a few strong men from the same village up the mountain to become a bandit. After several years of development, his power has gradually developed from a small hill with only a few people to a big cottage now, but the strange thing is that robbing money is robbing money, and never hurting people, even if his own subordinates are injured, his brothers are not allowed to kill, at most they catch each other and beat each other. He is usually very generous to his subordinates, and he never bullies the villagers who pass by, so most of his subordinates from poor backgrounds respect him.
Noon Six turned his head to look at the three people who were leisurely and complacent at the bottom of the mountain, there was an indescribable sense of danger in his heart, he couldn't say what the specific problem was, for the sake of the safety of the brothers behind him, Noon Six ordered everyone to immediately return to the cottage.
Behind a big rock not far from the hill, Zou Hu and Mei Zheng were lying on the ground on the ground and quietly watching every move on this side of the mountain, when they saw the man in black leather ready to retreat, Zou Hu turned his head to Mei and said: "Brother Mei, you go back and inform the boss, I will continue to follow, I have to find their lair today!" ”
Mei smiled: "You go, there are few people who are following you who are my opponents, and the big thing is important, and I can't command the dozen or so brothers you brought." ”
Zou Hu couldn't resist him, so he had to slowly retreat, while Mei quietly followed the people who were about to retreat to the village.
At the bottom of the mountain, Ye Chen was playing checkers with Hu Jie, and suddenly a small ball-shaped paper ball smashed into the chessboard, Ye Chen slowly opened it quietly, there were only a few circles on it, Ye Chen whispered after reading it: "They want to slip!" ”
Ye Chen put his hand on his back and made a pursuit gesture, Zou Hu, who had not appeared and was hiding behind a tree on the side of the road, immediately understood what his boss meant, and then turned his head and ran in the direction of Mei.
Hu Jie said with a puzzled face: "Boss, just these few small circles, how do you know that they are going to slip away?" ”
Ye Chen smiled: "Shanren's clever plan, you old man knows a fart." ”
When you climb over the hill, you will see the Black Mountain that connects Gyeonggi-do, Annam-do, and Cheongdong-do. Heizi Mountain is not as big as Dayu Mountain, but it takes two or three days to walk around it.
What Mei didn't expect was that the camp of this group of bandits was actually set up on the top of the mountain, although the place was not large, but it should not be a problem to accommodate three or four hundred people. Mei watched the leather-clad man run directly into the camp with everyone, and the gate of the village was closed immediately. Because he was not sure of the true strength of this group of bandits, he did not dare to rush in, in case someone planted a secret post outside the cottage, it was estimated that he would be discovered before he entered the camp, so he could only lie quietly in the grass in place, while observing the situation in the village, while waiting for the arrival of Ye Chen and others, because his unique mark had been left along the way.
Originally, Ye Chen and Hu Jie were playing chess, but knowing that the gang of bandits had run away, Ye Chen and the others were not in the mood to pretend, so they took out their long knives from the carriage, and then the three of them left the carriage and ran straight in the direction of Mei.
In the Juyi Hall in the camp, the stupid big man took off the black cloth cover on his face, took out the letter that Ye Chen handed him from his arms, and said, "Big boss, this is the person named Ye Chen just asked me to pass it on to you." ”
Hearing him say this, he was so angry that he couldn't wait to throw the stupid big one down the mountain now. Wu Liu stared at the big eyes full of anger and said, "Big man, can you finish the words at once next time." ”
The stupid big man said aggrievedly: "I was also about to tell you when you hurriedly asked the brothers to evacuate." I thought I wouldn't rob them anyway, but luckily it's not too late to come back and tell you. ”
Noon Liu's hand that had nowhere to put it slapped heavily on the tea table beside him, and said: "I will obey you if I don't accept anyone, you will be my brother in the future!" ”
"I don't dare!" The stupid big guy is a little embarrassed.
", see you're angry!" Noon 6 waved his hand impatiently.
The old man who looked like a military advisor stepped forward and asked, "Big boss, what does the letter say?" ”
Everyone was eagerly awaiting the answer.
"The letter claimed to be from the Angang Association of Annan Province and wanted to visit us." Wu Liu continued: "It seems that we have grabbed the wrong grain, and this is a bit tricky. ”
The old man said: "I heard about this Anjiang Society, it has only emerged in the last half a year, and the momentum is very fierce, I heard that the Qinglong Gang in Annan Province was wiped out by them overnight, and its strength cannot be underestimated." ”
Hearing this, he fell into deep thought, and after a while, a little brother ran in from outside the door and hugged his fists and said: "The big boss, three people came from outside the village, saying that they were from the Anjiang Society, and they were coming to visit the big boss with gifts." ”
"Damn, it's coming so fast, how did they know we were camped here?" A big man asked.
Noon Liu said: "I can't hide, let's go and meet this river dragon together!" ”
Outside the cottage, Ye Chen took Hu Jie and Wei to observe the surroundings of the village leisurely, and it seemed that what they were about to see was not bandits, but old friends who had not seen each other for many years. The bandits on the upper floor of the cottage city were like great enemies, the door slowly opened, and noon six walked towards Ye Chen and the others alone.
