Chapter 12: The Spies

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Juntao packed up properly and came to the threshing floor, at this time Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu had already gathered all the young people and were counting the number of people one by one.

"Zhang Lao Liu!"

"Here!"

"He Bingchen!"

"Here!"

"Zhao Ye!"

There was no answer for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojun couldn't help frowning, and shouted to Yan Hu beside him: "Take the two brothers to Zhao Ye's house to see, when is it, and you can't come to gather!" ”

Yan Hu answered, called two young men and rushed over.

Liu Juntao didn't pay attention to this, just watched quietly from the side.

At this time, Hu Dexing also came over and said with a smile: "Brother Juntao, I see that the young men of our Yushan Group have been practicing the formation all along, when will they go to the blade?" Let me also see the skills of the Juntao brothers! ”

Liu Juntao smiled and replied: "Lord Hu is smiling, how can I look at my three-legged cat kung fu in front of Lord Hu?" I thought that the formation was almost finished now, so I would send the spears down today and let the brothers practice. ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard Yan Hu shouting loudly: "Big brother has an accident!" Brother Zhao Ye died at home! ”

This shout was like a thunderclap on the ground, and it immediately caused the hundreds of young people present to blow up their nests.

"What!"

"Brother Zhao Ye is gone? Who the did it! ”

Just when the youth were growing and shouting, Liu Juntao did not hesitate at all, and yelled at Zhang Xiaojun: "Immediately chase south with fifty brothers!" Block the road to our village to the reeds! ”

Zhang Xiaojun responded angrily, shouting and about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Juntao: "I'm dizzy!" Bring a spear! ”

Zhang Xiaojun was stunned and said, "But the brothers haven't practiced how to use the spear yet?" ”

Liu Juntao was also a little anxious, and yelled angrily: "If you haven't practiced, you won't use it?" You can't stab the bandits! ”

Zhang Xiaojun slapped his head suddenly, beckoned fifty young men to pick up the spears piled up at the door of the blacksmith shop and rushed out south.

Then, Liu Juntao shouted to Yan Hu: "Call fifty brothers to take their spears and follow me to the west!" ”

Yan Hu didn't dare to ask more when he heard this, and hurriedly greeted the young man on the threshing floor, and after a while, there were enough fifty people.

Hu Dexing, who was on the side, asked puzzledly: "How did Brother Juntao chase west?" ”

"Most of the Zhao Ye brothers were killed by the spies of the Yushan bandits, and those spies are as slippery as loaches, and they must know that we will pursue us south, so most of them will run towards the west, which is not far away. I asked Zhang Xiaojun to lead people to chase south, just for the sake of insurance, and the spies to prevent bandits are new! ”

"Brother Juntao is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is really good material for leading troops!"

Liu Juntao didn't care about being polite at this time, and said directly to Hu Dexing: "I will hand over the rest of the young and strong to the adults, and ask the adults to take care of the village." ”

"That's nature! Brother, rest assured. ”

At this time, the movement on the threshing floor had already spread throughout the entire Yushan Collection, Guo Yongzhong, Tang Yu, and Guo Muying also ran over, and Zhang Baigui stood at the door of the blacksmith shop with a frosty face.

Everyone didn't have time to say anything to Liu Juntao, so they saw Liu Juntao pick up the long knife that Zhang Xiaojun had lent him before and raise it above his head, and shouted at the fifty young men who were assembled in front of him: "Now that the spies of the Yushan bandits have appeared, the bandits' brigade may be on the way, and now it has reached the point of life and death in my Yushan set!" Today, I will arrest the bandit spies with all my brothers, and use the heads of the bandit spies to pay tribute to the spirits of Brother Zhao Ye and Jinggu in the sky! It also makes the Yushan bandits understand that I, Yushanji, am not a lamb to be slaughtered! ”

Everyone on the threshing floor was enthusiastic when they heard Liu Juntao's roar, and when they heard the news just now, they were still a little afraid in their hearts, but at this time, the fear had dissipated, and all that was left was the hatred for the Yushan bandits, and the determination to defend their families and homes.

Liu Juntao saw that his morale was good, so he shouted: "Let's go!" ”

After that, Liu Juntao was at the forefront, followed by Yan Hu, and rushed to the west with fifty young men.

Liu Juntao led everyone to pursue for about an hour, and found traces of the Yushan bandit spies in a forest southwest of Yushanji.

I saw a little fire in the woods, and the Yushan bandit spies obviously didn't put Yushanji in their eyes, and the people who heard the news and killed Yushanji didn't know to run for their lives as soon as possible, but instead lit a fire here to eat!

In this way, everyone, including Liu Juntao and Yan Hu, was extremely angry.

Liu Juntao looked around the surrounding environment, and saw that the forest was not big, not far from the south of the forest was a barren tidal flat, and farther away was an endless reed.

Since Liu Juntao didn't know how many bandit spies there were, considering that they could sneak into Yushanji quietly without being discovered, the number should not be too much.

So, Liu Juntao first arranged for Yan Hu to take twenty people around to the south of the woods to prevent the bandits and spies from escaping. After Yan Hu led people over, Liu Juntao no longer kept his whereabouts secret, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers, leave one alive, and kill all the rest of the bandits!" Revenge! ”

Before the words fell, Liu Juntao was the first to rush forward, and the thirty young men behind him all roared and launched a charge, and everyone was as unstoppable as a tiger out of the cage, and one by one they wanted to eat the bandit spies in the woods alive.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the two bandit spies who were eating roasted hares in the woods stared blankly at the fish mountain that was getting closer and closer, and even forgot to escape.

"Run!"

After a while, seeing that dozens of young men led by Liu Juntao were about to rush in front of him, a spy suddenly shouted, and then turned around and ran away without caring about anything.

At this time, another spy remembered that he was about to run away, but he didn't think that Liu Juntao had already been killed behind him.

I saw Liu Juntao slash at the shoulder of the bandit spy with a knife in his hand, and suddenly a stream of hot blood spurted out, and the bandit spy screamed and fell to the side.

Liu Juntao didn't stop at all, and shouted behind him: "Leave two brothers and tie up this thief!" ”

Two young men found ropes and tied up the bandit spies who were screaming and rolling on the ground.

At the same time, Liu Juntao chased the remaining Qingzhuang out of the woods, but the bandit spy ran too fast, and he was about to run into the reeds, and suddenly saw Yan Hu with twenty Qingzhuang blocking the way of the bandit spies.

Yan Hu's eyes were already red at this time, and he shouted: "Miscellaneous! Give my sister back! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the rest of the young men to follow, Yan Hu shot and killed.

Because he was too excited, Yan Hu's whole body was shaking violently at this time, and he rushed to the front to aim at the bandit spy who ran over and stabbed it with one shot, and the sharp spear instantly pierced the chest of the bandit spy, and blood splattered Yan Hu and the surrounding young people all over their faces.

"Well done!"

Liu Juntao, who then chased after him, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Yan Hu shoot and kill the bandit spy, and patted Yan Hu on the shoulder.

But who knows that it's okay not to shoot, this beat immediately knocked Yan Hu down, only to see Yan Hu fall to the ground trembling violently, and at the same time suddenly retched, almost vomiting his intestines.

Only then did Liu Juntao remember that Yan Hu was killing for the first time, and it was inevitable that he would react violently. However, Liu Juntao is also a little strange, he killed three bandits in the reeds, why didn't he have such a radical reaction like Yan Hu? Are you born to be a killer?

Thinking of this, Liu Juntao didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.

When he came back to his senses, Liu Juntao looked around, and saw that all the young men were basically pale, and the few young men who were splashed with blood were even like Yan Hu, kneeling on the ground and vomiting.

"Alright! It still takes time for everyone to grow. ”

The group rested for a while, and then hurried back with the bandit spies captive and the corpse.

However, when everyone returned, they did not realize that in the reeds in the distance, two figures flashed by, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the reeds swaying in the wind swaying from side to side.

At noon, Liu Juntao and Yan Hu led fifty young men back to Yushanji.

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun had also returned to the village with another fifty young men. And Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Hu Dexing and others were very surprised when they saw Liu Juntao and Yan Hu catch up with the bandit spies and kill one person, and the surrounding villagers were even more smiling.

After all, the young Zhuang led by Liu Juntao continued to kill the bandits, which undoubtedly strengthened everyone's confidence in defeating the Yushan bandits.

After everyone met, Liu Juntao briefly talked about it, and then said to Hu Dexing: "Master Hu, you are a member of the imperial court, and it is better for you to interrogate this captive, you see?" ”

Hu Dexing immediately laughed when he heard this, and he also understood in his heart that Liu Juntao gave himself the credit for catching the bandit spy, waved his hand and said, "It's easy to say!" Say! It is my duty to do so! Rest assured, in less than an hour, I will let this miscellaneous confess the few men that his wife has stolen! ”

After speaking, Hu Dexing took two of his subordinates, escorted the injured bandit spy to Zhao Ye's broken earth house before, and began the interrogation as soon as the door was closed.

And Liu Juntao was waiting for news outside with the rest of the people, after all, at this juncture, everyone's minds were already on dealing with the bandits, and they were all waiting for specific news.

However, Guo Yongzhong looked around and saw that almost the whole village was gathered here, so he asked Tang Yu to beckon everyone to go back first, and then notify everyone when there was news.

After speaking, Guo Yongzhong smiled and said to Liu Juntao beside him: "I think there will be news in a while, so it's better for us to discuss it first and then tell everyone." ”

Liu Juntao naturally had no opinion, and said with a smile: "What the staff said is true." ”

Hu Dexing is not a person in the government, and his methods are indeed extraordinary, and he did not make everyone wait too long. A moment later, Hu Dexing walked out with a solemn face, his hands covered with blood.

Hu Dexing saw that everyone was there, so he said casually: "That spy has already lost his breath." ”

At this time, no one cared about the life or death of the spy, they were all staring at Hu Dexing and waiting for the next step.

"Whew!"

Hu Dexing took a deep breath, and said directly without going around the corner: "I asked out, it is indeed the Yushan bandits, and the bandit leader Zhen Bafang sent his subordinates to take more than a dozen people down the mountain, in order to find out about the reed fire, and at the same time find out the whereabouts of the three bandits who were killed by the Juntao brothers." ”

Liu Juntao asked in a deep voice, "Where are those bandits who came down the mountain now?" ”

"Right in the reeds!"
