Chapter 7: Alone in the Bandit's Lair
Lou Shan
Spanning Qingyuan County, Loushan County, and Teng County, it is the largest mountain range in Tong'an Province, and even ranks in the forefront of Yongzhou in the whole country.
Therefore, many green forest bandits value the vast and dangerous mountain of Loushan, so they gather here to occupy the mountain as the king, large and small add up to as many as twenty or thirty groups, the number is not less than thousands, is the first major harm in Tong'an Mansion.
Over the years, the Tong'an Mansion has tried to eradicate the tumor of the Loushan group of bandits several times, and even did not hesitate to ask the imperial court to send troops to help, but for various reasons, the results achieved have not been ideal.
Over time, the suppression of bandits was put on hold, and the Loushan bandits were able to continue to gather in the mountains and forests and live happily.
………
In the northwest of Loushan Mountain, there is a lonely ridge, because of its steep slope, there are often wolves in the mountain, so it is called the hungry wolf slope, a gust of wind season Ruilong occupies the mountain in this place as a bandit.
Yan Kui sent his third brother Yan Xiong home to wait for the letter, and he took advantage of the fact that it was still dark, rented a horse in the horse market, and went out of the city with the broken star mace obtained from the system lottery, and hurried to this hungry wolf slope.
At the foot of the mountain, Yan Kui took a look at the mountain road, turned over and dismounted, led the horse that was not light on the way that was destroyed by his heavy mountain-like body with one hand, and carried his mace in the other, and slowly entered the mountain.
Yan Kui, who has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, is not to mention that he is familiar with the terrain of the mountains and rivers on this Lou Mountain, but he also knows a lot, seven or eight, among which he has been to the hungry wolf slope several times, and has carried out more than one "humane care" for the wolves in the mountains.
However, today's task is on his shoulders, Yan Kui has no intention of "visiting" his old friends again, along the mountain road, Yan Kui went all the way, before dark, and finally found the location of the lair of a gust of wind, a natural milky stone cave.
…………
"There are no sentry posts around my lair, and the vigilance is so poor, it's no wonder that this guy has been in Chongshan for two years, and he hasn't mixed up any doorways."
Hiding the horse in the distance, Yan Kui slowly approached the cave, looking at the surroundings without a dark whistle, just two small minions, guarding outside the cave with a big grin, even if he was hostile, Yan Kui couldn't help but secretly complain about the stupidity of this gust of wind.
Yan Kui hid behind a tree outside the cave, leaning on the shadow of the tree to barely block his figure, and then looked into the cave, only to see a black hole inside, except for a few faint pieces of fire, the rest could not see anything.
"I don't know what's going on inside."
Yan Kui was a little afraid of taking his cousin as a hostage in a gust of wind, so he didn't dare to break in, so he had to hide quietly behind a tree, observe the situation, and wait for a good opportunity.
………
About half an hour later, the sky was completely dark, and at this time, Yan Kui found two people walking out of the cave, holding torches, and changing guards with the two minions who were originally guarding the door.
Yan Kui narrowed his eyes slightly, not caring about the two minions who changed the guard, but looked at the torches in the hands of the two.
"What if I set a fire outside the cave and lure people out?"
The more Yan Kui thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, outside the cave where the bandits' nest was located, there were several small forests scattered around, if a fire was lit in it, it didn't need to be big, as long as there was a fire, it would definitely alarm the bandits inside to come out to investigate.
In this way, if you can successfully lure out most of the bandits in the cave, you can break in and save your cousin, as long as your cousin saves you, you don't have to throw a mouse bogey, and the rest of the matter will be solved.
Thinking of this, Yan Kui shook his fingers with his mouth, dipped it in saliva, and held it in the air to test the wind direction, which is an indispensable part of the arson plan, otherwise if the wind direction is not right, the fire will get out of control, and the trick of turning the tiger away from the mountain is done, and he will have to turn into barbecue.
After half a moment, Yan Kui withdrew his fingers, his eyes flashed with joy, God helped him to do something, the wind was not strong tonight, and it was blowing in the direction of the mountain, which was very in line with his requirements.
Tsk, the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when you kill people and set fires.
Yan Kui glanced at the cave, his mind connected to the system space, and a fire fold immediately appeared in his hand, holding the fire fold in his hand, Yan Kui slowly faded away.
………
At this time, inside the cave
Yan Jiang tied his hands behind his back, sat cross-legged on a pile of straw, and looked expressionlessly at the bandits who were drinking and boxing in the distance.
Next to him was a fat man with a blue nose and swollen face, who was also looking at the bandits, but it was different from Yan Jiang's calmness, the fat man's eyes looking at the bandits were obviously resentful, and some of his swollen mouths popped out from time to time to whisper two "cordial greetings" to the female relatives of the family in a gust of wind.
The fat man chattered and scolded for a while, Yan Jiang had a headache listening to it, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, if they hear it, I will have to beat you again." ”
"He dares."
The fat man's neck stalked, and then he realized that his voice was a little loud, and consciously lowered his voice: "Unless he doesn't want to take the money for a gust of wind, give him three guts, and he won't dare to move the young master and me again." ”
When Yan Jiang heard this, he looked at the fat man in front of him with some surprise, as if he had re-acquainted himself with this "meat ticket" who was a little sympathetic to him and was also tied up by a gust of wind.
"They're bandits who kill people without blinking, aren't you afraid of provoking them to kill you?" Yan Jiang couldn't help but ask.
The fat man sneered: "Of course I'm not afraid, the major villages in Chongshan have rules, kidnapping tickets for wealth and not asking for life, as long as the ransom is paid, you can't hurt people's lives."
I have already written a handwritten letter to send home to ask for money, unless the ransom is not delivered after the appointed date, they can't touch me again. ”
Speaking of this, the fat man raised his head slightly proudly: "I have been tied up twice by other villagers before, and I am clear about the Dao Dao in this, and as soon as my father sends the ransom in a few days, they will naturally send the young master down the mountain respectfully." ”
Yan Jiang looked at the proud fat man speechlessly for a moment, and then asked: "Then you are so experienced, you just follow the rules, why are you still beaten." ”
It's okay that Yan Jiang didn't ask, but when he asked, the fat man's face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.
"It's not this group of brainless rough blanks, who treat Young Master Ben as a newcomer who doesn't know the rules, and when they get here, they want to set up a horse, and they beat me indiscriminately.
Poor Young Master Ben was gagged at that time, and he couldn't speak, so he could only be beaten in vain. ”
Yan Jiang: "........."
Logically I should sympathize, but why do I want to laugh so much.........
………
Yan Jiang and the two of them were having fun here, and one of the minions guarding the entrance of the cave suddenly broke into the cave.
"Oh no, big boss, the forest next to it is on fire."
The gust of wind that was drinking was startled, almost choked on the wine in his mouth, coughed twice, and hurriedly asked: "Why did it suddenly catch fire, is the fire big?" ”
The minion who reported the news shook his head: "I don't know, but it looks not small, Sun San has already passed, and the little one will come and report to you." ”
A gust of wind frowned, and he couldn't help but get up: "Don't eat it, leave the two of you to watch the house, and the others will follow me to take a look." ”
All the minions should be in unison, and the group, led by a gust of wind, rushed to the burning forest with buckets, wooden basins, quilts and other fire-fighting things.
The two minions who stayed behind, after beating Yan Jiang and the others and telling them to stay honest, returned to the wine table and continued to drink with their fists.
At this moment, a tall and burly figure slowly touched into the hole............
