Late at night, the fire in Xujiazhuang had been extinguished. In the air, the smell of blood and burnt smell was mixed together, and the smoke was thick, and people were choked. Yang Yan took dozens of men and escorted dozens of thieves who surrendered. These people still haven't figured it out, we have looted dozens of villages before and after, repelled five official and military encirclements, and even captured a county seat, why did we plant in this Xujiazhuang? And in the hands of these hillbillies! And among these hillbillies, there are quite a few hairy children!

"Everything!" Zhang Qing commanded the remaining village soldiers to carry the corpses of all the thieves to the river according to Xu Wei's instructions. When the two brothers passed by, Zhang Qing asked, "Ma Er is okay, right?" ”

Yang Yan choked and coughed, shook his head, alas, this person was born with a life. People like us are naturally bold and don't blink an eye when they kill. But Ma Er's guy, if he fights small, he will hide far away, and if he doesn't have an overwhelming advantage, he will never interfere. Tonight, seven or eight people died under his axe. At that time, I thought he was very happy, but as soon as it was over, the whole person was stupid.

"What a fun tonight! Convinced, Brother Jiu is really ...... Hey, Zhang Qing, I'll talk to you! ”

By the river, on the wooden bridge, Mattei sat on the bridge, motionless, looking from afar, like a stone statue. The axe, which had killed seven or eight thieves, had been thrown into the river by him. Killing, he had never seen before, let alone do it himself, but tonight, he killed more than one. He vividly remembered the last man he had killed, his head split open by an axe, and his brain splashed in his face. Although he washed in the river many times, he still felt a fishy smell.

Ten fingers, clutching his hair tightly, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. As soon as I thought about it, the split head immediately came to mind......

"Take a sip." A voice rang out beside him. He raised his head suddenly, and under the moonlight, Xu Weizhang's face had long since disappeared from arrogance and ferocity, and was full of smiles, like the moonlight in the sky, which made him feel kind.

Mattei's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all. took the wine jar handed over by Xu Wei and poured it hard.

"I know what you're thinking, the way of the world is like this, tonight, if we don't do it. Then it's not just you and my brother who are dying now......" Xu Wei took the wine jar and took a sip himself. Gently shake the jar, listen to the sound of the wine in the jar, thoughtful.

"Brother Jiu, in the past, in the village, in the county, everyone else was afraid of me, you know, once, hey, where did he come from? Anyway I forgot, oh, in the county? Hey, what's going on with this head? Mattei snorted with wine in his mouth, and spoke incoherently.

Xu Wei looked at him quietly and didn't say anything.

"But I understand, not because I'm so great, it's because others are afraid of you. In a word, I want them to know that I am not your dog, I am your brother! I'm a guy too! I can do it! I can do great things! Mattei shook his fists and was emotional.

Xu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are not only a man, you are also a hero of Xujiazhuang." "To be honest, Ma Er's performance tonight really impressed him. Zhang Qing said that Ma Er's momentum of sweeping thousands of troops at that time was so frightened that the one or twenty thieves did not dare to take a step forward. There was a thief in heavy armor, invulnerable, but let him cut an axe in the chest, and when the villagers took off the thirty or forty pounds of armor after the battle, the ribs were all broken, and the whole chest collapsed.

"Brother Jiu, you, what did you say?" Mattei didn't believe his ears a little, and Brother Jiu said, I, I'm a hero?

"You are a well-deserved hero of Xujiazhuang, and it is precisely because of your desperate struggle that the whole village has saved his life." Xu Wei is colorful.

Mattei's lips trembled, and tears flashed in his tiger eyes.

"Brother Jiu! Brother, I ......" grabbed Xu Wei, Ma Er shook his head, but he couldn't speak.

"I heard that you are one and a half years older than me, just with your courage tonight, I will call you from the bottom of my heart......" Before Xu Wei finished speaking, Ma Er suddenly pounced and hugged him, crying wow. His physique, his strength, strangled Xu Jiu almost out of breath.

Xu Wei was about to reassure him a few more words, but Ma Tai suddenly let go of him, looked at him from head to toe with a pair of eyes, and asked thoughtlessly: "Are you really my ninth brother?" No matter how stupid a person is, he can see that Xu Wei is like two people now.

After a little hesitation, Xu Wei chuckled and said, "Brother, you are drunk." ”

"I'm not drunk! My grandson is drunk! You look, I'll give you two steps, do you see, take two steps......" As soon as he took a step, his huge body fell on his back and never moved again.

At this time, Zhang Qing led people to pull the corpses of thieves and soldiers in ox carts to the river, saw Ma Er falling on the bridge, and smelled the smell of wine, he already knew it in his heart, and sighed: "People who don't dare to look at pigs can be instigated by you to kill people, Xu Wei, there are yours." ”

Although he didn't understand why he used the word "incitement", Xu Wei didn't refute it, turned his head to look at the dozen taels of ox carts, and asked, "What are the results?" ”

"There are one hundred and eighty-four corpses here, less than half of them are human-like, and the rest are either burned beyond recognition, or have been cut off to complete limbs, and a few bold ones are fighting together. Seventy-three captives were stripped of their clothes and shut up in the cowshed. We have 24 wounded, six of whom are seriously injured and are being treated. Zhang Qing said casually, but it was a pile of piles, and it was clear.

Xu Wei was a little surprised: "What? Didn't die for a while? ”

"Are you really a man in the village just a farmer who picks up dung? Who hasn't had more than ten or twenty years of hard work? Hey, you should know this best, oh ......" suddenly remembered that Xu Wei's brain was not very good since he was seriously ill. But that's not right, you say he's not bright, what's going on tonight? Could it be that Mrs. Xu taught it? Do you want your son to make a name for himself in Xujiazhuang or even Xiajin County? In this way, does the prince want him to make a contribution and take the opportunity to make him an official? It's still not right, the prince has already given his respects, and after leaving office, he has already made up for Brother Xu, how can there be anything to do with Xu Jiu?

When he was puzzled, he heard Xu Wei shouting: "Throw it." ”

"Throw what?" Zhang Qing didn't react for a while.

"Nonsense, of course it's throwing corpses, or what's the point of pulling them to the river? You and my brother eat barbecue? Xu Wei said with a smile.

Zhang Qing felt sick in his heart, and frowned: "What are you doing by throwing it into the river?" Without waiting for Xu Wei to answer, he understood. The river flowed all the way to the outside of Xiajin County, and the corpse was thrown into the river and floated down the river. As soon as the thieves who were besieging Xia Jin saw it, they didn't immediately get into turmoil, so the siege of Xia Jin was also solved!

Seeing his expression, Xu Wei knew that he had understood, so he smiled and said, "Talking to you is to save trouble." ”

Zhang Qing took advantage of the moonlight to carefully examine this brother who had known him for more than ten years, and just like Ma Er, he was thinking in his heart, is this really Xu Wei? Tonight's battle was all commanded by him alone, from cutting the bridge to resist the enemy, to setting fire to the formation, to the vegetable garden fire, and even the final two-end encirclement, every link was counted by him. It was only later that I figured out that cutting the wooden bridge would inevitably prevent the thieves from entering the village for a period of time, and at this time, the thieves saw a fire in Xujiazhuang, and naturally thought that the people in the village had fled.

In this way, the large army of thieves will definitely not delay time in Xujiazhuang, after all, their target is Xiajin County. Xu Wei calculated this correctly, so he asked Yang Yan to pretend to be a woman, release bait, and lure a small part of the thief into the village. At this time, the vegetable garden has been arranged, just waiting for the thieves to take the bait. A fire burned the thieves and ghosts crying wolves, and the morale of the army was in chaos, and at this time, dozens of people with the highest martial arts skills were blocked at the exits at both ends of the village and beat the water dogs.

Even if it was as he had just thought, these plans were set by Xu Taigong a long time ago, and they were only implemented by Xu Wei. But with Xu Wei's ability in the past, it was easy for him to kill a few people with a knife, but he definitely didn't have the ability to command such a careful action. Sensei said that it was him, even if he changed himself, I am afraid it would be ......

A sound woke him up in deep thought, and when he turned his head, Xu Wei had already commanded the villagers to throw the corpses of those thieves into the river when he was out of his mind.

"Do you calculate the time, how long do you estimate it will take for these corpses to drift to Xiajin County?" Xu Wei asked, looking at the corpse that was drifting away.

Zhang Qing visually measured the speed of the corpse drifting and replied: "Say less for more than an hour, and you can't throw it too fast, this river channel is not wide, if several corpses are blocked at the same time, it will be wasted." ”

"Awesome! It is said that you have a good brain, and it seems that you live up to your reputation. Xu Wei praised.

Zhang Qing felt a little depressed in his heart, and when he heard this, he was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "It's just a small skill of carving insects." ”

Xu Wei glanced at him meaningfully, and then asked tentatively: "With the situation in Xiajin County, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist for long, right?" ”

Zhang Qing's face sank, and he nodded: "Yes, there is no garrison in the county, even if I have two hundred township soldiers from Xujiazhuang, but Liang Heng is a good hand to oppress the people, and lead the army to resist the enemy?" At this point, he glanced disdainfully. Besides, the thieves and soldiers are coming to the city, and I am afraid that the city will be in chaos for a long time, and the security is enough for him to drink a pot. So, Xiajin County, hang! ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he nodded frequently, and Zhang Qing was indeed more thoughtful. But he forgot the same thing, the fourth brother was ordered to come back this time, which was to organize township soldiers with the county officials to resist the thieves. At this time, he must also be in Xiajin County. After Liang Heng finished organizing the soldiers in Xujiazhuang Township, he immediately took most of them away, presumably knowing that the thieves had threatened Xia Jin. Since he knew the news in advance, the fourth brother, as an officer, could not have made any moves, and he would definitely ask the Daimyo's Mansion for reinforcements.

When Xu Wei explained this to him, Zhang Qing smiled bitterly: "Then why do we still eat salty radishes and worry about it?" Just wait for the court officials and soldiers to arrive, and wipe out this gang of thieves. ”
