Feng Gouzi found this place for them, the location is really good, as long as you get out of the valley, you can quickly step on the official road after a few turns, no matter which direction you go to, the road is not too far, and the people around here are sparsely populated, whether it is peers or officers and soldiers are rarely haunted in this area, and even fewer people can find their existence, so whether it is hiding or dispatching, it is very suitable.

After staying in the valley for more than 20 days, they didn't know much about the situation outside, so Xiao Tianjian was also a little more careful when he led the group out of the ravine, for fear of encountering a large group of officers and soldiers, even if they met a large group of the same kind, it would not be a good thing for them.

After more than 20 days of recuperation, the injury on the leg of the horse they captured at the beginning had already recovered and was ready to ride under the care of Da Niu and Tietou, but Xiao Tianjian did not occupy the horse, but handed it over to a man named Shi Ran under him.

This Shi Ran is about thirty years old, and he is an unknown one in the team, although he is not outstanding in all aspects, but he doesn't talk much on weekdays, he seems to be relatively calm, but he is flexible, he is not obvious in this group of people on weekdays, if he doesn't pay attention, it is easy for people to ignore his existence, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about finding someone to temporarily act as their scout these days, after asking who can ride a horse, except for Da Niu, only this Shi Ran stood up.

Considering that Da Niu's personality is relatively wooden, and he is a good hand at taking care of livestock, he has to drive the car with Huzi, and Shi Ran has become the only person who can be selected for the scout role.

As for whether Shi Ran can do this job, Xiao Tianjian doesn't know, but at the moment, he can only catch ducks on the shelves, and let Shi Ran do this for the time being.

Everyone is very interested in going out to do things this time, for no other reason, one is that they feel that after this period of practice, they are all much bolder, and they also feel that they are much stronger, and their confidence begins to swell, and the second is because they go out to do things, if they grab something, there will be rewards, and they will be happier to do it, as for whether they will die when they go out to work, but they really rarely think about it, originally, they should have starved to death a long time ago, and now they are earning one more day, if they don't go out to rob, they have nothing to do, Yu Qi is still hungry when he sits on the mountain, so it is better to rob it desperately, and he is also a full ghost when he dies.

No one in this area is more familiar than Feng Gouzi, in Feng Gouzi's mention, they selected a Zhaojiabao about thirty miles away from here, which is located in a remote area, and the military disasters have rarely affected them over the years, and it is said that the wall is relatively low, there are less than twenty households, and there are two relatively wealthy families in the village, and there are very few Zhuang Ding, so such a village is the best object for them to start, and it is safer to do.

Xiao Tianjian, as an outsider, can only listen to other people's opinions in this regard, as for the issue of morality, it is not a matter for him to consider for the time being, this world is originally the survival of the strong, if you don't rob others, people will rob you, as long as you don't kill people indiscriminately, Xiao Tianjian's current benchmark for robbery is not an immoral thing.

Before leaving the mountain, Xiao Tianjian handed over the horse to Shi Ran and instructed him: "Shi Ran, you can act as our sentry for the time being!" You have a more stable temperament, so I can rest assured that you can do this! But remember, be careful when you go out, don't be too public, and after investigating the situation in Zhaojiabao, you will rush back as soon as possible, and don't be careless on the way! ”

Shi Ran was also a little grateful for Xiao Tianjian's orders, although he had never been a soldier, but he had also heard that the sentry was the most elite person in the team, and Xiao Tianjian could let him do this, which showed that Xiao Tianjian valued him very much, so he immediately knelt down and said: "Thank you for your trust, please rest assured, the small one will be careful!" ”

Just when Shi Ran took the reins of the horse and was about to turn over and get on the horse, Da Niu came over and explained with some unease: "Brother Shi, the injury on the horse's leg is just not long, you have to take care of it!" Don't let it run too fast, or by the time you need to run for your life, the horsepower will fail! You have to control the speed! When tethering the horse, the reins should also be loosened so that it can eat some grass! ……”

"Got it! We have also raised livestock and let go of horses for the old rich family before, so you don't have to worry about it! Hold the plate, let's go! Shi Ranxian replied a little impatiently to Da Niu's mother-in-law.

In terms of how to use horses, Xiao Tianjian thought that he was an idiot, and he felt that it made sense when he listened to Da Niu's words, but since he asked Shi Ran to do this, he could only use people without doubt, so he nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road!" ”

Shi Ran shook the reins of his horse, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight on his horse.

"This guy won't ride a horse and run away on his own, won't he come back! A horse is worth a lot of money now! Zhao Erdonkey looked at the back of Shi Ran riding away and muttered in a low voice.

"Shut up! Zhao Erdonkey, you have too many thoughts, I treat each of you as a brother, and the same is true for Shi Ran, I can trust him, just like I can trust you, don't want to arrange it behind your back again, and then let me hear you talk nonsense behind your back, be careful of Lao Tzu's military stick to serve! Xiao Tianjian shouted angrily at Zhao Erdonkey.

Zhao Erdonkey was bored with himself, as long as he hid behind his neck, he didn't dare to say anything more, but he was despised by others.

In addition to the big bull and the tiger driving the mule cart, the rest of the people lined up in a column under Xiao Tianjian's command, and strode towards the direction of Zhaojiabao, Xiao Tianjian pressed the speed of the team, walking on the side of the team, the reason for doing this, he still has to let these people develop a habit, let them consciously treat their people as a team, and their habits are not easy to control.

Thirty miles of road is not too far for them, and after years of disasters in Shaanxi, coupled with years of banditry, it has long been withered, and it is almost difficult to see any pedestrians on the road, so there is no need to worry about being discovered their whereabouts.

Feng Gouzi was familiar with the road, leading the way in front, carrying his spear, quite a bit complacent.

After they came out of the mountain, Xiao Tianjian did not rush to the road in order to maintain everyone's physical strength, maintained a speed of about five to six kilometers per hour, and marched in the direction of Zhaojiabao, and after more than 20 days of training and recuperation, these people also had a lot of physical strength, and they didn't feel hard at all when they walked this way, that is, they walked to a place less than ten miles away from Zhaojiabao for more than an hour.

They were very careful along the way, for fear of encountering any officers and soldiers, but along the way, they basically didn't see anyone along the way, which made them gradually feel at ease, and at this time the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, Xiao Tianjian immediately asked everyone to line up a horizontal line, blocked the way, and made a vigilant gesture.

After a while, I saw Shi Ran riding a horse and galloping over quickly, and after seeing that it was Shi Ran, everyone relaxed.

After Shi Ran approached Xiao Tianjian, he turned over and jumped off the horse, and walked over quickly, Xiao Tianjian saw that Shi Ran seemed to be looking very bad, so he immediately asked, "How is the situation in Zhaojiabao?" ”

Shi Ran hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "If you return to the plate!" Zhaojiabao is ruined! ”

"What? Tell me about it! Xiao Tianjian hurriedly asked when he heard this.

"Palm the plate, I'm afraid we're here for nothing this time! When the little one arrived at Zhaojiabao just now, he saw that it had been set alight, and many houses had been burned! The little one took a closer look, and it turned out that more than 20 officers and soldiers were scourge in the fort, that miserable! Let's change places! Those officers and soldiers in the province have finished their scourge and come out to meet us! The fucking officers and soldiers are even more ruthless than our poles, and we are trying to eat and drink, but they are ...... It's not a fucking human, it's a brute! Shi Ran said as he showed a look of indignation.

After everyone listened, they also shook their heads, this kind of thing for them, has long been used to it, the Ming Dynasty at this time, long ago military discipline was abolished, speaking of officers and soldiers, but officers and soldiers compared to bandits, more fierce to the common people, there is a saying that the image, thieves are like combs, soldiers are like shaving, that is, when the thieves pass by, that is, rob some big households, get some food and money, for ordinary people, it is not very cruel, but the army is more ferocious than thieves, and will not let go of anything, Wherever it passes is like a razor, nothing is left.

Among these people under Xiao Tianjian, there are a few people's villages not destroyed in the hands of thieves, but in the hands of officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are under the banner of thieves, looting everywhere, fighting thieves is not very good, the scourge of the common people, but they are familiar with the road, extremely vicious, in order to repay the merits, they even do not hesitate to kill the good and take the merits, with the heads of ordinary people to ask for merit and reward, this kind of thing at this time, it is really too much! So everyone was surprised, watching Xiao Tianjian wait for him to speak, turn around and change places.

"What's going on in the village now?" Xiao Tianjian also wanted to take someone to turn around and pull him down, but he couldn't help but ask more.

Shi Ran shook his head and replied depressedly: "I don't know how this group of officers and soldiers came here, the small ones are estimated to be broken up by the big poles, and the people who ran here, there are not many of them, only about twenty, and a few are injured, it is estimated that there is no place to be angry, so they took the people of Zhaojiabao to vent their anger, and the small ones looked at it from a distance, they drove out the people in the village, and the grain and livestock were also robbed, and the people who stayed in the village were basically killed, and the heads were cut off, They're a bunch of bastards who are scourging the women in the castle at the head of the village! There were more than a dozen young men in Zhaojiabao who escaped, and I saw them hiding in the far part of the village and crying! The little one had no choice but to retreat quietly! ”

"Damn it!" The iron head squatted on the ground, slammed his fist on the ground, and cursed, and the rest of the people also scolded.

When Xiao Tianjian heard that there were not many officers and soldiers, and there were those things, his heart suddenly jumped, and when he heard that there were still more than a dozen young and strong men alive in Zhaojiabao, his heartbeat was faster.

(The old rule, you read the book, I code the word, how about you please leave the red ticket?) Give me some encouragement! ）
