"The people in this convoy have quite a background, there are great monks from the south, and Cao Zhi's descendants? And the heirs of the Sun family in Jiangnan? Good guys, they are all powerful people, then they should have a lot of money, then this vote is not in vain! ”

Listening to the words of the two captives, Niumen not only did not panic, but laughed, it turned out that he attacked and killed this time, although he recognized the wrong person, but at the same time as rushing to kill, he also hijacked two carriages loaded with goods, and retreated with the horse team, which was in line with the principle of not returning empty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The big boss has broken seven brothers, and this group of guards is really not simple."

Sure enough, there was a brother over there who counted the harvest, first talked about the battle damage, and then reported the harvest this time.

"You said that this old convoy is really flying! It is worthy of being a three-grade character, and the carriage that pulls things is cloth, gold and silver, and a lot of jewelry, but unfortunately there are two boxes of books, which occupy space in vain, if there are no books, put more money, how good. ”

The brother who reported had a regretful look on his face.

Niu Men laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be dissatisfied, it's enough to have these gains, you have to leave quickly, in case the officers and soldiers come, it won't be good, by the way, the book takes up space, and it's a burden, remember to throw it away." ”

Speaking of this, he patted his head and said: "By the way, I forgot to say it, we really found the wrong person this time, this team is not Chen Zhi's, but the people sitting in it are also quite famous, if we can kill it, it can also greatly increase our reputation, but unfortunately, let them run away." ”

"Huh? Looking for the wrong person? The brother was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Big boss, who said that you found the wrong one?" With just the contents of those two cars, we can't find it wrong! ”

"Yes!" Niu Men grinned, he pointed to the two captives who were trembling on the ground, "I don't think this is a bad thing, according to these two statements, the people on this convoy are more important than Chen Zhi, and the escorts are carefully selected, so so many of us can't break it, on the other hand, Chen Zhi just brought some family members with him, in other words, although we didn't take this convoy this time, we can ensure that we take him Chen Zhi!" Because, Chen Zhi's guards will not be more powerful than this time! ”

"So that's the case, in the end, the eldest brother is thoughtful!" His brother looked excited, "But then again, where is that Chen Zhi?" ”

Niu Men narrowed his eyes and said: "Just on the road ahead, take these two people with you, let them identify, if you can't find Chen Zhi within three days, kill these two people, and if you find them, talk about others." ”

The two of them were already covered in bruises, and they couldn't help but tremble when they heard this.

At this time, another person came, and this person was sent out to investigate, and the news brought was that there were no officers and soldiers.

"Let's take this opportunity to go first and continue north!" Niu Men immediately gave an order, "Don't worry about anything else, just go and find that Chen Zhi, since we can't fight this monk's convoy, let's go find someone who can fight, his Chen family's family, I'll attack it, isn't it like killing a chicken?" ”

When the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled!

Soon, as the order of the cow gate was conveyed, the horse-thief riders who were resting gathered in twos and threes, and with a sound of urging, they galloped away!

…………

On the other side, Ming Dharma monk and others found that the carriage containing money and goods had been robbed, which made their itinerary a little difficult, after all, no matter how high their status was, money and goods were also wanted.

However, everyone is more concerned about how to catch the group of horse thieves, and of course, the leader of this matter has become Wei Ou.

After the interception, three of Wei Ou's friends were injured, and two more were plundered, these people had followed Zhuge Yan to study the world, and their status was there, and they listened to Wei Ou's advice and joined the convoy of Ming monks, wanting to be qualified to watch the apricot altar.

Now that the person has been taken captive, Wei Ou has to ask about it in a reasonable way, not to mention that this also involves his reputation and connections.

"Several, this is the general of this garrison." The leader of the soldiers, who was the first to contact Sun Min and others, led everyone to the garrison and introduced it in front.

Sun Min and the others observed the surrounding scene.

It was a barracks, but it looked very scattered, and the people had walked for about an hour to get here, hoping that this place, which claimed to have more than fifty garrisons, would set an example for a while, gather the troops of the other garrisons, gather the men, and encircle the horse thieves.

However, looking at the loose barracks, as well as the soldiers who were not in good spirits and had crooked bodies, Wei Ou's heart suddenly sank.

Even Sun Min and the others' expressions were a little bad, because this really had a bit of a taste of wasted military affairs.

The leading soldier Yong also saw it, and hurriedly pointed at Yu Qi and said: "This is located in the consul, and it was shown in General Zhu's defeat of Wang Mi in the battle. ”

"Oh?" Sun Min came to his senses and couldn't help asking, "Have you fought a decisive battle with Wang Mi?" What was the situation then? ”

Yu Qi's face was a little embarrassed, he had boasted about this in the past, but the actual situation was different, at that time, it was the elite brought by Zhu Shou from the north who fought with Wang Mi, and now he was asked in public, considering the identity of the other party, he had to bite the bullet and say truthfully: "At that time, we were only on the periphery, and after Wang Mi's thief army was dispersed, I led the crowd to pursue one or two remnants of thieves and killed a few people." ”

"I see." Sun Min suddenly understood, knowing that this person had a lot of moisture in his words, and the so-called killing of a few people, it is estimated that it would be good to have one or two.

Wei Ou said a little eagerly: "Just these people, where is enough, those horse thieves are extremely vicious, and there are still many people, if you don't overwhelm the border with a large army, there is no way to exterminate them!" Not to mention saving people! ”

When he heard this, he persuaded him euphemistically: "Horse thieves exterminate human nature, only value money, and often disregard human life, if people are arrested, then nine times out of ten they will not come back, and you have also seen that our soldiers and horses are limited, listening to your description, there are a lot of horse thieves, and it is not enough to rely on us." ”

In fact, the horse bandits of Niumen are wreaking havoc in the territory, how could they not know? However, after the Xuanwu disarmament, the local garrison had limited manpower, and although there had been some rebound in recent years, the number of people under his control was very small, and in addition he had to eat some empty salaries, the quota of nearly 100 people was actually only 50 or 60, and most of the undisciplined and lax related households were not in the camp and did not participate in the drills.

To put it bluntly, it is even worse than the armed family of an ordinary family.

With such combat effectiveness, when you meet a slightly experienced horse thief, you are going to deliver food.

Since Niumen and the others came to the territory, they have been quite restrained, and the local government has no need for encirclement and suppression, so the garrison leader like him pretended not to know, and he was forced to come to the door at this time, and he was also persuaded in this intention.

It's a pity that Wei Ou didn't eat this, he sneered and said, "I know what the leader thinks, he doesn't want to provoke this gang of thieves, but you have to think clearly about the consequences!" The two friends of mine who were kidnapped are both identities, and as soon as this matter gets out, their families will come to investigate it, can you afford this responsibility? ”

As soon as he heard this, his face changed.

Wei Ou then said: "I am waiting to go north, I want to meet celebrities from all sides, and when I ask about the experience on the road, this gang of horse thieves is bound to be known to the world, and at that time, I will talk about today's events, what do you think?" Will you be able to keep your official position? ”

Yu Qi was already sweating profusely, and he was busy wiping his sweat, and finally smiled bitterly and said: "In this case, please talk to the county lieutenant of Wuyuan County first, let him write down the paperwork, and then mobilize the surrounding soldiers and horses." ”

Wei Ou was still dissatisfied, and continued to threaten according to the momentum just now: "Isn't this a waste of time? The horse thief came and went like the wind, and when the news reached Wuyuan County, and then gathered people, how long has it been since this back and forth? Where is there time to pursue? ”

Yu Qi explained with a wry smile: "This can only be done in this way, I wait for the soldiers and horses to be mobilized without authorization, and the local government only needs a word, and the above will ask for the guilt, after all, it is a soldier's family matter, and it cannot be moved lightly, not to mention that to encircle and suppress this gang of horse thieves, it is definitely not enough to rely on the manpower of a certain family, but the mobilization of soldiers and horses has no name, who dares to do it?" ”

Wei Ou was about to say more, but Sun Min stopped his words and said: "What Leader Yu said is right, if anyone can transfer the garrison at will, how can there be peace in the place?" Or according to what he said, send a fast horse to Wuyuan County, let the county lieutenant write down the paperwork, and then inform the other garrisons and gather manpower, in fact, this is also beneficial, you can take the opportunity to write letters, let the local families, wealthy families send some family members to help the war, they have said at the banquet before, but they have said that they will help if there is something, I believe they will not admit it. ”

Wei Ou was stunned when he heard this.

Yu Qi was in a mood for a while, and hurriedly nodded: "This gentleman said it well, if you let the big families send out the guards of the courtyard, then if they gather, they will definitely be able to pacify the horse thieves!" ”

Invisibly, it was revealed that the officers and soldiers stationed in the local area were not as good as those of the family.

It's just that Wei Ou didn't have the heart to analyze this, and after listening to Sun Min's words, he agreed, but he was still a little worried: "Will that let the horse thief escape?" ”

On the contrary, he calmed down, and Xu is family member gave him confidence, so he listened to him: "Where can the horse thief still run?" As long as there is any movement, it will inevitably be detected by the government, and since you have the intention to annihilate them, and you can say that the great clan can help them, there is no need to fear them. ”

Wei Ou glanced at him and snorted coldly, "I'm not afraid of him at all!" ”

Yu Qi suddenly became embarrassed, but he was not convinced, thinking that if he was not afraid of them, why should he seek help from the officers and soldiers? When you encounter horse thieves, why don't you just kill them?

He thought so, but he didn't dare to say it, and then sent a fast horse to run towards the county seat of Wuyuan, where the county order of the great god had just been sent away, and he was about to rest after a busy day.

And in the northeast of the county, in the woods, Niumen led many brothers, all the way north in the dust, and the head of Niumen, his side face was full of excitement.

In the distance of this road, across the mountains and rivers, there is such a small town, dilapidated and barren, the land is much deserted, but the official road is spacious, and a convoy is passing by, which is the one taken by Chen Zhi and others.
