1245. Two groups of people for the same purpose

The sun is rising, the sun is approaching the middle of the sky, Baishi Mountain, on a hidden hillside, the figures in the woods are longing, and if you look closely, you will find that there are hundreds of people hidden in this small forest.

"Brother Kong, are you really sure that Na and Mu Zhi will be captured alive?" A skinny man in armor behind him asked.

Kong Zhengqing, dressed in military uniform, leaned against the tree, staring at the distant mountains and forests without moving, waiting for his scouts to arrive.

Kong Zhengqing sold his property and formed a township regiment, and was jointly elected as a captain by Changshi and Sima, and was given the title of Captain Poqiang, and the more than 300 people recruited generally called him a captain, and the only ones who wore battle armor and called him brothers and sisters were only those dozens of rangers.

"Brother Tu, don't worry, I've been to this Baishi Mountain, and the old thief of Hemuzhi has an attic standing on top of the cliff, and behind the cliff is a barren mountain, and he has no defense. We are all agile and agile, and if we have rope hooks, we can easily climb the cliff and rush into the attic to capture the old thief of Mu Zhi, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and will not dare to burn the jade."

The thin man who spoke before was the previous man with a broken finger, and he nodded when he heard Kong Zhengqing say this, but the variegated color flashed in his eyes and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, a small man with a thin figure and sharp-beaked monkey gills appeared in sight, only to see this person flashing left and right, dangling in the mountains and trees, as if drifting, and after a while, he came to the front from the other side of the ravine.

This person was originally a thief, as light as a swallow, agile as a monkey, but he also had a way of stealing, he was a thief, he only stole a rich man who was not benevolent, and the stolen money was also scattered by him, he was a good man, although his force was not good, but Kong Zhengqing knew how to use it well, and used it as a scout to probe the news, but it was very suitable.

"Brother Dai, how is it? There is no fortification, right? Seeing that the thin man came back, Kong Zhengqing hurriedly asked, if he and the old thief Mu Zhi arranged for someone to be on duty behind the cliff, then his plan to capture the thief would be shattered.

The thin man grinned, shook his head, and said, "No, no, I have climbed to the back of his house, and there is no one behind me, but there are many people on the steps of the attic in front, guarding on both sides of the road." After that, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "There are four corpses under the cliff, look at the clothes of our Han people, or a young lady, this old thief, really damn it."

Hearing this, everyone was also indignant, Kong Zhengqing was pleased that there was no fortification behind the mountain, and immediately said: "Fight quickly, more than 30 of us climbed the cliff, I don't believe that I can't catch the old thief." After speaking, looking at everyone's hatred for the old thief, he couldn't help but instruct: "You can only capture him alive, but don't kill him, otherwise, the Qiang people will catch up with him crazy, and we won't be able to escape, only by holding He Muzhi hostage, we will be safe."

When it comes to life and death, everyone dares not be negligent, and they are busy nodding their heads.

"How? Is there a fortification behind the cliff? On the other side of the mountain, Li Zhen looked at the returning scout with a solemn face, and did not wait for him to take a breath.

Cheng Chuliang was also impatient, "Say it quickly, is there anyone guarding it, if there is anyone, it will be suffered."

The scout finally calmed down, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, there is no whole back mountain, and the cliff is also easy to climb, not steep."

After speaking, he said with a hateful face: "General, there are several corpses under the cliff, which have rotted, and the style of the clothes is a woman from our Han family, who is not very old, and must have been killed by the Qiang thief." It turned out that there was the body of a Han woman on the cliff behind the attic, and they didn't need to ask why they were here.

"Straight lady thief, damn it", listening to the scout's description, Cheng Chuliang clenched his fists and scolded hatefully.

"When we pacify Taoqiang and kill the thief leader, it can be regarded as revenge for them." Li Zhen also said with a fierce face.

After that, he shouted: "Without further ado, fight quickly, attack at full speed, climb the cliff, capture the thief's head alive, and then release the signal to the general."

Everyone was ordered to walk behind the cliff as fast as they could.

After a while, Li Zhen's face was shocked, he straightened his palms, and shouted in a low voice: "Silence."

"Jing, Jingyang...... Who are they? Cheng Chuliang also hid behind the tree and looked at the group of people under the cliff in front of him in surprise.

I saw that the cliff was like a spider, and more than a dozen people were climbing on it, slowly climbing towards the top of the mountain, and there was indeed a fierce battle below for the black pressed sergeant.

"That's the armor of the soldiers, this ...... Where did the soldiers come from, look at that...", Li Zhen snorted as he spoke, only to see a thin man on the cliff, who was still a long distance from the top of the cliff, and he actually turned over to the top of the cliff a few times.

"This ...... It's a good skill, but looking at this body, it looks like a person from the rivers and lakes." Cheng Chuliang also widened his eyes and muttered.

"I don't know if it's friend or foe, don't act rashly and wait and see what happens." Saying that, Li Zhen asked the two hundred elites to slowly retreat and hide.

Looking at the cliff again, Kong Zhengqing, who was engrossed in the top of the cliff, and a group of knights, as well as the more than 300 villagers who were terrified, did not realize that there was a group of people hundreds of steps behind them who had the same purpose as them.

At the top of the cliff, Kong Zhengqing made a gesture and asked Tu Gao to wait here with a few people, guarding the retreat, and he led the remaining dozens of rangers to slowly sneak to the three-story attic.

Now I don't know if the old thief with Muzhi is in the attic, Kong Zhengqing didn't dare to act rashly, and motioned to the thin man surnamed Dai to go and investigate, and they climbed on the side of the mountain to hide.

For a long time, obviously a quarter of an hour has not passed, Kong Zhengqing seems to have passed three autumns, his palms are sweating in the cold wind of March, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a young man in his early twenties.

The thin man surnamed Dai is finally back.

"Brother Kong, a good opportunity, a godsend, and the old thief Mu Zhi is in the house, and he is still sleeping." The man surnamed Dai said excitedly, he is a native of Guzang, and he is also a member of the Northwest, he has been in Taozhou for a long time, and he also knows the leader of Taoqiang and Mu Zhi, after all, when Taoqiang has not rebelled, the relationship between Han and Qiang is not so bad.

"Sleep? Haha, you deserve to be bound by the old thief", Kong Zhengqing was also overjoyed, slowly pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, looked back left and right, "Brothers, success or failure is in this move, please", said with a deep salute.

Everyone is busy patting their chests and promises, one of the promises, worth a thousand gold. Since they have all followed him to this Taoqiang cottage, whether it is the righteousness of the brothers or the loyalty of the country, they have no reason to retreat.

Don't underestimate the national righteousness of these rangers, sometimes the Confucian scholars have not yet understood the righteousness of the country.
