In the ruins, the Owl and Tu Ge looked at the people above the exit of the mountain gorge in the distance without moving.

Watch them rest on the spot, watch them collect firewood, light a bonfire, barbecue meat and drink wine on the spot.

At first, the Arch thought they just wanted to eat here, and continued on their way.

However......

An hour passed, but the people on the hillside showed no sign of descending the mountain.

On the contrary, they even began to set up camp......

"Are you going to camp here?" The face of the owl became very cold: "Damn, if I catch you, I will torture you by all means!" ”

When Tu Ge heard this, he also said viciously: "I will pull out their scalps, make them into war drums, hang their heads on my vault, and pull out their cervical vertebrae......

As he spoke, he vigorously tore open a piece of jerky that he had carried with him, a hard stone-like jerky with an unpleasant stench that required hard swallowing to swallow in his stomach.

Then, you need to pour a large sip of mare's milk wine to make the smell in your mouth fade a little.

As a leader, Tu Ge can eat jerky and mare's milk wine.

But the rest of the men had to hold the cheese they had prepared in advance, and some cooked and dried corn balls, all of which had the same characteristic - dirty and unpalatable.

Eating it in your mouth is the same as eating sand.

The sharp grains of corn, glued together, can scratch the fragile mouth if you are not careful, and it is easy to cause infection.

And once the oral infection worsens, in this day and age, it is tantamount to suicide.

So, even though it was hard to eat, they could only close their eyes, chew carefully, and swallow slowly.

If that's all there is to it, that's fine.

When a horse bandit, what hardship has not been suffered?

When he was very hungry, he picked up carrion in the heap of the dead, and when he was very thirsty, he drank his own urine.

As long as they can live, they have done countless things that ordinary people find disgusting even if they think about it.

The key is the horses they brought.

They brought with them hundreds of horses, which had been hidden in the ruins for more than a day.

And horses, on the other hand, love to eat constantly.

Even if it is a well-trained war horse, if it is not controlled, they will try their best to eat.

The horse bandits are not systematically organized, and naturally there is no scientific breeding.

Therefore, the way they raise horses is to let them eat if they want to.

Thereupon......

Among the ruins, there is horse feces and urine everywhere.

If you're not careful, you'll step on it.

Originally, they could have cleaned it up, had people bury it or threw it out.

But now, the target is not far away, and no one dares to risk exposure and do such a thing.

As a result, the entire ruins were soon filled with an unpleasant stench.

And they had to eat and drink a lot of water in such a way as to maintain enough physical strength to cope with the battle.

"Why haven't you moved yet?"

Another half an hour passed, and the owl was almost going crazy.

He was now beginning to regret why he had not set up an ambush in the mountain gorge.

If it drags on like this, once it drags on until dusk, those people will really be camping on that hillside.

In that case, they would have no choice but to storm it.

Because it's impossible for an employer to give them that much time, maybe the employer is already in a rage by now.

Blocking the road is not an easy task.

"Owl ......" Tu Ge walked over and said softly, "I feel that something is wrong......

He looked at the hillside in the distance, and his expression was solemn: "The people you sent to Shanwucheng have never returned......

"And those people have never come down the mountain......"

"Will it be ......" Tu Ge said solemnly: "This is a trap?" ”

"Impossible!" The owl bone laughed in a low voice: "Do Wei Yannian and Ma Yuan of Yanmen County dare to do such a thing?" ”

"We've been caught, how can they get better?"

"Over the years, there have been dozens of people I have killed for them alone......"

"Not to mention, the things they secretly smuggled to Makubei, even if they were only found out, it would be enough for them to lose their heads!"

Yanmen is cold and hard, and far away from the war, as an official, if you want to make a fortune and maintain the life of Jiuchi Meat Forest, you can only do some unsightly things in secret.

Moreover, it has to be a profiteering thing.

There is nothing more profitable than smuggling ordnance.

The repeating crossbows, strong crossbows, and rhubarb crossbows in the hands of the Huns are all weapons that are easy to wear and tear and damage.

They had to get the parts made in the Han Dynasty in order for those weapons to continue to work.

Tu Ge thought and nodded.

But the heart is still uneasy.

"But those people have not come......" Tu Ge said, "what are you going to do?" ”

"Wait another hour, and if you can't do it, you will withdraw ......," said the owl with a gloomy face.

There is no way, the opponent occupies a dangerous position, and if you attack strongly, the losses will be very serious.

He was a bandit, not a soldier.

Tough on the enemy, attacking and controlling the dangerous terrain head-on?

Only fools do it!

…………………………………………

Ma Yuan is even more impatient than Tu Ge and the owl.

"Those two bastards, why don't you do it yet?" He paced anxiously, his heart full of uneasiness.

As time passed, this uneasiness intensified.

Occupy all of his mind.

"Lord Huiqi, that man led people and camped on the slope of Shenhe, but he refused ......to come down," a man said beside Ma Yuan: "I guess, they are afraid of casualties and dare not attack, right?" ”

Ma Yuan listened, but he didn't understand at all, but roared: "I and Wei Taishou have paid so much money, but I didn't ask them to come here to play in the mountains and rivers!" ”

"Go and tell them that the man must be killed at all costs, or else ......"

"They don't want to get out of this plug alive!"

The man listened, but he only bowed his head and did it.

Ma Yuan watched him go away, and his heart was numb.

Because, a report came from the history of the Bingzhou Assassin yesterday that the Xuanjia Army had gone north from Jinyang.

Unexpectedly, the army is at its peak, and there are 2,000 Xuanjia soldiers alone.

In addition, there were a large number of soldiers and civilians who followed.

And that was a few days ago.

God knows, is the Xuanjia Army outside Yanmen County now?

If you wait until the Xuanjia Army enters, then it will really be all over.

…………………………

The owl and the butcher were soon informed.

The messengers who had come from the south and secretly entered the ruins demanded in a very stern tone that they must act immediately at all costs.

"Otherwise, you don't want to leave this stopper!" The envoy was resolute.

Let the Bow and Tu each sound like a butt of fire.

But......

But there is no way.

Because they know that if they really completely offend Ma Yuan and Wei Yannian of this Yanmen, then ......

They will lose a safe place to hide.

Maybe you will soon be hunted down to death by the enemy!

There was no way, so the owl had no choice but to put forward his own request: "We want to add money, we must add another two thousand gold for the purpose of bereavement!" ”

That's nonsense.

If you are a horse bandit, you will die.

Where do you still need to burn and bury the bereavement pension?

Buried in the sky, and even allowed to be eaten by wild beasts, and the bones were in the wild, this is the fate of the horse bandits!

The owl bones and Tu Ge have been able to get away with it so far, and it can even be regarded as an outlier and a miracle.

"No problem!" The envoy agreed without hesitation: "As long as you can kill that person, Taishou and the county lieutenant are willing to let you enter the fortress in the future and be a people under the fortress......"

"Take your wealth and live a stable life......

"The county guard's official residence will make relevant bamboo charms and names for you and others!"

As soon as these words came out, Tu Ge and the owl suddenly raised their heads.

The horse bandits on the left and right all stood up at once.

As a horse bandit, no one wants to have this line of work.

Because, youth will be gone, physical strength will decline, and the body will gradually degenerate.

Horse bandits are a bowl of youth rice full of dangers.

In the past, almost all horse bandits ended up dying on horseback.

The wealth he plundered was buried deep in the ground, and he didn't even have a chance to spend it.

If so, you can bring your wealth back to Saixia and become a rich man, who wouldn't be happy?

"Really?" Tu Ge looked at the envoy viciously and asked, "Do you know the price of deceiving us?" ”

"How dare you deceive you?" The messenger lowered his head and said, "How can I not know the name of the two murderers in the south of the country?" ”

"That's good!"

The owl stood up, clenched his weapon, and said to the messenger, "Go and tell Captain Majun, man!" We're going to kill him! ”

"Please ask him to prepare for us, five hundred bamboo talisman names and five thousand gold gold!"

The owl knew very well that he could not refuse this brand-new condition offered by the other party.

Don't dare to refuse!

Otherwise, his men will tear him off!

Therefore, although you know that the other party offers such superior conditions, there must be problems in it.

But......

There was no way back for him.

From the moment of entering the plug, there is in fact no way out.

The owl knew that as long as he dared to refuse, even if his subordinates still followed, he would not be able to get out of the Great Wall.

The officials of the Han Dynasty were much more cunning than the nobles of the Xiongnu.

Sending away the messenger, in the ruins, all the horse bandits knew that the county lieutenant and the Taishou of the Han Dynasty made a condition for them to make an identity bamboo talisman so that they could retire and stop.

Immediately, there was jubilation.

Everyone's popularity is high!

The previous boredom and the stench in the air have completely turned into hatred for the enemy on the hillside!

In everyone's mind, there is only one thought - kill them, use their heads, and use them as stepping stones, so that they can get that precious bamboo talisman!

No way, most of the horse bandits have no culture, except for killing, they don't know anything else.

Even Tu Ge was immersed in excitement and excitement.

Only the owl, looking at the situation, fell into a deep uneasiness.

But he knew he couldn't persuade anyone else.

At this juncture, wealth and promise have washed away everyone's minds.

The only thing he can do is act on the opportunity!

"Hopefully, those people are easier to deal with, and there are no strong bows and crossbows......" The owl prayed in his heart.

Otherwise, it would have been a bloody battle today!
