After hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Xiang Bo was in good spirits, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun also stopped moving.

The sound of horses' hooves really stopped in front of Xiang's house, Xiang Bo dropped the wooden stick in his hand, walked a few steps quickly and opened the door, and the knight outside the door was turning over and dismounting, but it was one of the three people yesterday.

The knight's dress was not as clean as yesterday, his body was stained with a few visible stains, his hair was black and purple, and his face was also uncontrollable tired, but this man was not as stern and indifferent as yesterday, in addition to exhaustion, there was excitement and lightness.

Seeing Xiang Bo go out to greet him, the knight showed a kind smile on his face and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xiang, you have won the lottery this time!" “

Zhu Da remembered very clearly, yesterday the three knights were all shouting "Lao Xiang", today they were politely closer, hearing the other party's words, Xiang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly: "Have those thieves been destroyed?" “

"It's extinguished, the brothers touched their sentry guard first, and when they were fenced off, everyone else was still sleeping, and after rushing in, two people got weapons, and one of our people was injured!" Talking about yesterday's battle, this knight was also in high spirits, and it seemed that he had fought very happily.

After saying this, the knight hugged his fist at Xiang Bo, and said: "Thanks to Brother Xiang's timely news, the burden of these thieves has been laid, if you go a few days late, you may have to pounce on it, our big cabinet is clear rewards and punishments, and Brother Xiang's credit must be a lot of benefits!" ”

Xiang Bo couldn't help but smile on his face, shook his head and said: "You fight to the death, but the old man and I won the lottery, how can this be reasonable!" ”

"Everyone has merit, and the benefits are a lot, so what's polite!" The knight said with a smile, both of them laughing.

Next, Xiang Bo hurriedly invited the knight in, this hour to the White Castle Village, it was already very inconvenient to rush at night, how to stay for food and stay, the knight came to report the news is also to have an Xiang Bo's heart, close to each other, to Xiang Bo's enthusiasm, this knight did not refuse to be polite.

Naturally, Zhu Da came to handle the dinner, and Xiang Bo specially told him not to cook fish, but just took out all the wine and meat stored at home, and cut a few plates of pickled vegetables to make a good meal on the table, this time Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were not allowed to serve on the table, and some dishes were divided for them to eat aside.

According to the folk rules, the younger generations cannot be served at the table between the elders, and they have to avoid going to the next door, which is also to not disturb the chat between the adults, but Xiang Bo left Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun in the house, although the knight was surprised, he didn't say anything.

The ingredients of the meals made by Zhu Da are ordinary, but the taste is very good, the knight is very happy to eat, half of a bowl of wine, and immediately there is nothing to talk about, everyone knows that this knight's surname is Deng, he was born in Daizhou, he once served in the army over there to kill Hukou, and he is also the identity of the family guard, his own family will die in battle, and he is unwilling to give his life to others, so he was simply recruited by the salt stack.

However, Zhu Da and they wanted to listen not to this, but to the process of the battle, fortunately, they quickly found out, at the beginning of this, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun put down their jobs, this kind of attentive listening made this knight surnamed Deng even more interested.

Similar to Zhu Da's prediction, after reporting to Bo, Yanzhan immediately made a decision, sent out the strongest guards in his hands, divided into teams of three or four people, and distributed them in several villages around the location of the mountain temple, not letting the villagers go out, blocking the news to make the raid more effective.

Since the news of the thieves, there are six villages of salt dealers who have suffered, and the rest of the families who have suffered are also rich families in the village, and the thieves move at night, coming and going quickly, and there is no slightest drag in the action.

The three knights didn't encounter anything in the White Castle Village, but the other villages really killed people, some of them wanted to sneak out after the knights entered, some were caught back and tortured, and some couldn't catch up and shoot directly, but the people who were caught did not have the accomplices of the thieves, but they were involved in other rivers and lakes.

I don't know if this kind of advance alert has any effect, but when the knights set out in the early morning, until the target began to encircle and suppress, nothing went wrong.

According to the knight's description, the thieves were very ordinary, I thought it was a little rule from the army, but there was a sentry around the mountain temple, and they were still dozing there, only two people in the mountain temple had weapons at hand, and the others surrounded the four robbed mothers-in-law, and their clothes were not neatly dressed, and after being cut down three, the others knelt there just to beg for mercy.

“...... They were all arrested, but their leader was nowhere to be seen, and another said that the leader's closest confidant was sent out to run errands and never came back......"

"The leader of the thieves has run away?" Xiang Bo asked worriedly, and Zhu Da and the others were also nervous.

"It's not that they ran away, it's not over there, the gang said that their leader would only come once every three or five days, and tell them who to attack." The knight replied.

After saying this, the knight hurriedly advised: "Brother Xiang, don't tell these confessions to the outside, and they can't be leaked if they are confessed." “

"Old man, I won't go out in this village, who do I want to talk to." Xiang Bo replied with a smile, but his expression was no longer relaxed, and he asked worriedly: "What is the trace of the escaped thief, this person is a scourge outside." ”

"The thieves who confessed said that after the leader escaped from the barracks with them, he has been elusive, and Brother Xiang doesn't have to worry too much, what can one person do, dozens of men in your village are holding wooden guns and erecting them, and no one can withstand them!" The knight surnamed Deng said nonchalantly.

Xiang Bo nodded and replied: "You are not bad, if you really want to come alone, no matter the three heads and six arms, you will not be able to go, but you still have to ask, what does this thief look like, don't be taken advantage of by him." “

This news must also be confidential, and the knight hesitated for a moment before saying: "He is strong, the little finger of his right hand is missing a section, and there are two scars on his face on the left side, he is not short, half a head taller than Xiang Bo. ”

Hearing this description, Zhu Da had already carved a rough image in his mind, compared to the tall Xiang Bo, this thief leader was very burly and fierce, Xiang Bo over there was also stunned, and asked in surprise: "What kind of chief is such a person below?" ”

"Don't you know the in the army?" The knight surnamed Deng replied, and both of them sighed, raised the wine bowl and took a sip.

The two adults were chatting, Zhu Da was in deep thought, the information contained in the knight's dinner table was too big, Shengping Salt Stack dispatched fifteen guards to encircle and suppress the thieves, this number is reasonable, after all, the private salt organization is in the people, it is impossible to have too outrageous force, what really makes him care is that the back of this group of thieves is very complicated, originally thought that the army escaped and prepared to occupy the mountain as the king, and then said that he was going to escape to the outside of the plug and fall into the grass, and then look at the action against the private salt, now look at the back may still have some unknown inside information.

As for the thief leader Zhu Da who escaped, he was not too afraid, saying that Potian was just one person, and it wouldn't be too much of a hindrance if he was careful, but now the truth should fall on this thief leader, and many questions can't be answered if he doesn't catch it.

Zhu Da still cares about one thing, whether it is judgment and analysis or organizational action, Shengping Yanzhan seems to be very old and spicy, why would such an organization believe Xiang Bo's news, according to the prior agreement, Xiang Bo took many things on himself, for example, when he saw that the thieves wanted to tie up his own children, he rushed up to knock down and ask about these things, and then he was afraid of attracting retaliation, threw the body into the river, and burned other things, all of which were very self-consistent and reasonable, but it was an empty talk, and there was no proof of death.

There is no way to confirm the truth of the news reported to Bo, which means that it is either a trip in vain, or even a trap, but the private salt organization that acts so old and spicy immediately sent cavalry, and there must be something unreasonable in it, what they can think of, others will not be unexpected, not to mention that they have far more experience in doing such things than Zhu Da.

"Brother Xiang, it's never stingy to put a reward on the big cabinet, if it weren't for you this time, you didn't destroy this gang of thieves so quickly, I guess I have to put a few villages for you, and if you don't know, you will be given salt goods directly from the big cabinet, this is a family heirloom business." There's a lot of wine over there, and my tongue is a little bigger.

Being able to take a few villages as a market for selling salt, but also avoid the exploitation of merchants everywhere, this is equivalent to a profit increased by more than ten times, maybe more, if you add the rock salt in the cave, the profit is even greater, if you can really reward as the knight surnamed Deng said, Xiang Bo is afraid that he will go directly from food and clothing to the level of "solid" or even "rich", and he will really turn over and make a fortune.

Xiang Bo was happy to hear this, and only said there: "How can we know the arrangement of the big cabinet." “

"When the time comes, the younger brother will ask you to take more care of the elder brother."

"It's easy to say, but you are the heart of the big cabinet, so you will have a good arrangement."

Looking at Xiang Bo, who is very serious and polite on weekdays, Zhu Da felt interesting, he understood why the knight came to report the goodwill, Xiang Bo will definitely not be a small salt seller in a village next, and the resources that can be exchanged in his hand will increase, this knight does not need it, but the people around him may have this need, it is not bad to come over in advance to make a good fate, otherwise so many "secrets" tonight would not be so happy.

The knight surnamed Deng drank a lot, he was on the road all day, on duty, killing thieves, and returning, by this time he was tired, Xiang Bo didn't drink much, because he had to be on duty at night, and before the news was finally confirmed, he couldn't tell the villagers that the thieves had been exterminated, and everyone didn't have to patrol the night, in case there was anything wrong and couldn't afford it.

Xiang Bo went out to lead the team to watch the night, the knight surnamed Deng had already fallen asleep, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were also tired, listening to the snoring of the two people around him, Zhu Da couldn't sleep, after listening to these things tonight, he felt that Baibao Village was too closed, everything he knew here was an incomplete fragment, Zhu Da wanted to go out and see, at least to understand the vastness of the world.
