Chapter 5 -- The Wolves

Before dawn, Zhang Wu was woken up by a knock on the door, put on his clothes and opened the door, it was Manid who knocked on the door, let him into the house, and the two sat down, "What's wrong?" Zhang Wu asked, Manid touched his chin and said, "Captain, do you have anything else to do today?" "Nope!" "Oh!" Manid nodded: "Then you go and deliver something!" I can't leave! Zhang Wu nodded, "Okay!" "Hmm!" Manid continued: "I negotiated a deal, twenty bags of salt, which the merchant of Uruzdaq wanted, and gave him a price not cheap, but his caravan was not there, and offered to let us deliver it!" I agreed. Pen% Fun% Pavilion www.biquge.info""Oh! Okay, when to go? Zhang Wu asked, Manid stood up and said, "You go to eat first, and when you finish eating, you will go on the road, and you will be there at noon tomorrow!" Zhang Wu nodded and asked Manid, "You ate?" "Leave me alone, I'll go and order the goods for you first, and I'll eat you when I send you away, by the way, let Porcha go with you, and there will be a response on the way!" Manid said as he walked out

Zhang Wu and Porcha had eaten, and the two led the horses to the Chamber of Commerce, Manid had already loaded the three horses, and Resarit came over and asked, "Captain, how many people should we bring?" Zhang Wuluo groaned and said, "It's almost enough to bring ten people!" Resarit agreed, and went to pick the accompanying executioner, Manid came over with three men, and introduced Zhang Wu: "Captain, we have three horsemen who don't want to do it, and we have received our wages and returned to Salander, these are my new recruits to Halma, all of them are Kugit, farmers in the village below, let him go with you this time, they are all locals, familiar with the road, this is Jim." Manid pointed to a man in his thirties and lifted his chin again: "Those two are the Buck brothers, Big Buck and Little Buck!" Zhang Wu nodded. The group packed up and stopped, went out of the city on the road, and went to Uruzdak, Wangcai came out of nowhere, with half a piece of bread in his mouth, and chased Zhang Wu with a smoke, and Manid couldn't call it back!

Everyone walked all the way, ate something at noon, and after a short rest, hurried on the road, and walked for another afternoon, seeing that the sky was dark, Zhang Wu rode his horse to the three Kugit guys, and asked: "Three, you are all locals, do you know if there is a place to rest your feet in this vicinity, or not, we can only sleep in the wilderness!" The groom, whose name was Jim, thought for a moment, and replied, "Captain, go two or three miles further and there is an old temple!" But it has long been abandoned, there are no monks, only a large courtyard and a dozen rooms left, although it is not good, but it can also block the wind, you see......" Zhang Wu nodded, "Just go there!" Half an hour later, the team came to the front of the temple, and sure enough, it was in disrepair and a dilapidated scene! Ressarit took two horsemen inside and out to go around twice, came back and nodded to Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu dismounted and Porcha commanded everyone to unload the goods on horseback in a room, everyone ate some dry food, Ressarit arranged two executioners to guard the door, and the others each found an empty house to rest, and the sky was getting dark!

The vigil is hard work, especially when I am sleeping in the fragrance of being called up to change shifts! The two runners rubbed their eyes and stood in front of the door of the house where the goods were released! One of them suddenly clutched his stomach and said to the other: "I'll go and make it easier, you watch for yourself first!" After about ten minutes, the guard who had gone to the convenience came back with a relaxed face, and he fastened his belt as he walked back! When he was about to reach the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and seven or eight meters away from him, in front of the door where the goods were placed, a person whose eyes had lost their luster was lying there, it was the guard on duty with him, and an arrow was stuck in his throat, and the arrow was so powerful that even the arrow came out from the back of his neck! A team of men with black scarves on their faces are carrying heavy bags of salt in and out! "Canglang", the stunned guards immediately reacted! He drew his weapon and shouted at the top of his voice: "Enemy attack--" In an instant, the whole courtyard was in chaos, and the roars of people, the neighing of horses, and a series of barking dogs sounded one after another......

Wangcai threw open the hidden wooden door and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind! He was followed by Zhang Wu, who was carrying a long sword, and almost at the same time, Ressarit also ran out of the other room with two executioners bare! When I looked at the courtyard, there was a brother lying at the door, with a long sword through his throat, and another guard lying a few meters away, with a weapon in his hand and a slender dart stuck in his eye socket! There was still disbelief in the other eye! Obviously, this guard yelled at the last moment before he died, and called the police! When Resarit saw that he had broken his two brothers, his angry eyes were about to burst into flames, and he shouted: "Brothers, bodyguards! "With that, he rushed out first! A group of executioners agreed in unison, followed by Zhang Wu also drew his sword and strode towards the battle group, only to see Resarit rush to the side of Xiangma first, raise his foot and kick over a person, without waiting for him to get up, he slashed his throat with a sword in his hand, and shot sharply and ruthlessly! All the executioners also swarmed up and fought with the horses! Polcha held a special-shaped dagger, and a tall ringing horse also matched, the ringing horse held a heavy scimitar, dancing vigorously, and Polcha won in the flexibility, although the opponent's strength was great, but could not touch the edge of Polcha, a few rounds later, Polcha grabbed a flaw in the ringing horse, bullied forward, fingers moved, the dagger changed from a positive grip to a reverse grip, fiercely inserted into the chest of the ringing horse, the opponent was put down, Polcha breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly heard a strong wind behind him, looked back, A nomadic scimitar was being raised high and slashed down at himself, and when he wanted to hide again, it was too late, helpless, Porcha had to try his best to turn sideways, seeing that the scimitar was about to split on the shoulder, just at this moment, a yellow figure pounced like an arrow, and suddenly knocked over the ringing horse with the knife, and Porcha's shoulder was also saved, and the robber was about to get up, but he felt a cold throat, and immediately lost his breath, he threw away the knife in his hand, and tried in vain to cover the wound, but to no avail! It was Wangcai who knocked down the robbers, but it was Zhang Wu who killed him, he no longer showed mercy, and when he went to rescue Porcha, he refused to kill the soldiers, because those soldiers were just doing their duty, and these ringing horses in front of him! Obviously, it's not a kind of thief who pays attention to making money and not killing people, and there are two corpses on the ground! Kill them, and you should only eliminate the harm of the people! One sword at a time, Zhang Wu cut down a total of five opponents! Resarit killed four, Porcha killed one! The other four died under the knives of the executioners! One who escaped, not because of how high his kung fu was, but because the other horses were desperate to cover him! Only then did he get away with it, and the executioners also fell down, with a dart stuck in his throat, seeing that he couldn't survive, Resarit lowered his body, checked his injuries, sighed, and squatted down one by one, covering the red eyes of the injured who were suffocating due to lack of oxygen, Resarit gritted his teeth and pierced it through his chest, "What are you doing?" Polcha yelled, and Resarit looked up at him and asked lightly, "Can you cure him?" I...... Then you can't ...... either" "Since he is certain to die, all I can do is make him suffer less." Resarit said with a bowed head. You bastard, he's your subordinate! Polcha pounced on Resarit, and was hugged by the three grooms, Jim wrapped a towel around his neck, and persuaded Polcha with the Buck brothers with a panicked face! Resarit ignored the angry Polcha, turned to Zhang Wu and said, "Captain, this place can't stay!" Let's go overnight! Zhang Wu nodded and ordered: "Load, go!" Waiting for the people to disperse, Polcha came over and whispered to Zhang Wu, "Boss, that ......" Zhang Wu raised his hand to interrupt him: "I saw it, turn around and say!" Porcha nodded!

After a short time, the goods were loaded, and everyone was ready to leave, Resarit looked at the bodies of the three executioners, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brothers, I will take care of your family!" Go with confidence! After that, tears were spilled on the spot, and all the executioners were also sad! Just about to set off, Wangcai suddenly raised his head and barked at the roof of a room, everyone looked up, only to see a person on the roof, eight feet tall, with a gloomy face, wearing a wolf skin, Zhang Wu stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you!" The man sneered and said, "You guys are not simple, I underestimated you, let me break a dozen brothers!" Zhang Wu said: "We don't know Your Excellency, we have no grudges in the past, and we have no hatred in the near future, why did you come to attack us?" The man replied, "It is only right that the horse robbed the road!" What's more, you killed more than a dozen of me, and we're done with this beam! When Zhang Wu heard this, he understood that there was no room for maneuver in this matter! Drawing the sword with his backhand, at this moment, another person suddenly appeared on the roof, medium stature, skinny, and like a roe deer, it was the ringing horse that had just escaped, this person first stood there without saying a word, and suddenly raised his hand to shoot a dart at Resarit, as fast as lightning, Resarit saw that he raised his hand to himself, he knew that something was wrong, and it was too late to hide, so he was frightened, closed his eyes and waited for death! Zhang Wu saw the trajectory of the dart clearly, and wanted to rescue, but it was too late, and before he saw it, Resarit was about to die, but he saw another strange arc flying forward, blocking the dart, "dang" A crisp sound, the dart bounced off, and the boomerang blocking the dart was also hit by a deflection of the trajectory, and a bloody wound was cut on Resarit's face! Ressarit opened his eyes and glanced gratefully at Porcha, who was still in a throwing position! "Brother, I'm ......" Resarit hasn't finished yet! was interrupted by Polcha: "No thanks, my dart is poisonous, and you have to die if you catch up, if you have any last words, explain it quickly!" After saying that, he turned his head angrily, and Ressarit suddenly couldn't cry or laugh! Everyone else couldn't help but laugh!

"Hum hum ......" There was a sneer on the roof, and I saw the big man in the wolf skin clapping his hands and saying, "Sure enough, he is a good man, and he is still in the mood to say witty things!" Let's see if you can laugh later! With that, he put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly! Suddenly, a chaotic footstep sounded, from the front door, the back door, and the broken wall. A large number of ringing horses poured in! surrounded Zhang Wu and the others! There were seventy or eighty of them!

Ressarit gritted his teeth and shouted, "Bodyguard! Polcha also stepped forward and stood in front of Zhang Wu, holding a boomerang in his hand, his eyes fixed on the man on the roof who could shoot darts and return! Zhang Wu pushed Polcha aside and yelled: "Protect a fart dart, don't worry about things!" Keep the three grooms, and kill me out! "After that, he raised his sword and ran to the front door to kill, and Wangcai and Polcha followed closely behind, blocking the attack from behind for Zhang Wu! With tears in her eyes, Ressarit led the three grooms in the middle and followed them closely. The dart master has the rules of his own industry, since he chooses this knife edge to lick blood, he can't be afraid of death! Although this rule is not explicitly stipulated, it is consciously abided by the executioners, because what you earn is the money you sell! Of course, there are also a few shameless ones, such as those hired by Manid before, Resarit is naturally not that kind of person, so when he sees the danger, he reflexively shouts the bodyguard, and plans to fight to the death, but Zhang Wu's words make his heart warm, who is willing to take his brother to die like an egg touching a stone, who wants to die if he can live! At the critical moment, Zhang Wu ordered to abandon the bodyguard to save his life, and this kind of thing can be done by a few businessmen, "If you don't die in this battle, I, Resarit, will follow him." "Ressarit's eyes are red, and he is desperately fighting! Zhang Wu didn't know how extraordinary his decision was, and how much he could buy people's hearts! In his heart, a pile of goods is worth no human life in any case! He didn't expect that his decision would be exchanged for the loyal companionship of the commander of the fourth legion of the four major legions he formed in the future!

After the dart ringing horse shot a runner with a dart, he had no way to start, because Zhang Wu and the others had already rushed into the ringing horses, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and he aimed for a long time, but he didn't dare to shoot again! Zhang Wu couldn't remember how many heads he had chopped off, how many throats he had cut open, and how many chests he had pierced, but he only knew that he was covered in blood, and the steel sword in his hand had burst open! Finally rushed out of the front door and plunged into the dense forest, Polcha was nimble, and he was following behind Zhang Wu, but he was not injured, Resarit made a cut on his arm, not deep, he and another runner with a broken forehead were half dragging and half holding a comatose brother, who was also out of the door, but before rushing into the forest, he was hit by an arrow in the back! Fainted on the spot! Mafu Jim was very fatal, and ran out with it!

After making sure that he had gotten rid of the pursuers, Zhang Wu panted and leaned against a big tree, holding his sword full of gaps, and looked behind him, just like that, there were sixteen people left, and there was only one life and death unknown! Zhang Wu spat hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Porcha! "Boss! "Errand! "Yes, Boss! Porcha agreed, and kicked Mafu Jim right in front of Resarit, who stepped on him with his foot! Jim was shocked: "Guys, ...... you" "Boy, you don't take off your clothes when you sleep at night?" Even the coat is so neatly dressed! Also, what are you doing with a towel around your neck? Wipe sweat? Well? Are you taking us for fools or blindness! Ressarit said viciously! Jim was shocked, "I'm ...... I...... I didn't...... I ......" Polcha stepped forward, slapped Jim several times in the face, and then asked angrily: "Where are we sorry for you, tell me quickly, why betrayed us!" Well? How many dinars did Hibiki give you? Well? Seeing that he could not deny it, Jim's face was filled with pain, and he said slowly, "I betrayed you!" But I'm really not in it for the money! Seeing Jim admit it, Resarit drew his sword with his backhand! Rack around his neck! yelled: "I don't care what you're for, give me my life!" "Wait a minute!" Zhang Wu stopped him, and Resarit said with a puzzled face: "Captain, you ......" "It's not too late to let him finish talking and then do it!" Zhang Wu said calmly. Resarit retracted his blade in hatred and raised his leg to kick Jim in the head. "Say!" Jim clutched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "I really didn't mean to betray you, these robbers kidnapped my whole family, if I don't cooperate with them!" My family's lives are in danger, I ......" Resarit became even more angry after hearing this, and said: "Your family is human life, and Lao Tzu's ten or so brothers are not human lives?" "After that, another wave of punches and kicks! Zhang Wu waved his hand! Polcha stepped forward and grabbed Resarit! "What's the number of this team?" "Wolves!" "Who's the scoop?" "I don't know my name, I only know that my nickname is Steppe Wolf!" Zhang Wu was silent for a long time, sighed, and said slowly: "Brother, from my personal point of view, I sympathize with your plight, but from the captain of a caravan, you must pay for these more than ten lives!" Rest assured, we won't be embarrassed for your family! Jim bowed his head and was silent! Porcha took out his dagger, threw it in front of him, and said, "Do it yourself!" Jim trembled and picked up the dagger and said, "I hope you do what you say!" "And then a knife in his chest!
