In the north in December, it is already a cold winter season. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the lofty mountains at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo, a team of horse gangs is struggling to move forward on the rugged mountain road. It was a large caravan of hundreds of horses and mules, and the long procession stretched for miles along the mountain road, and the leading man had a circle of white steps wrapped around his head, his bare skin was bronzed, his arms and chest muscles were tangled, and two shell guns were pinned to his waist.

The man led three people to the front of the procession, and as they walked, they looked at the surrounding mountains and fields, listening to the movements around them, and a young man with a spear on his back learned to call birds as he walked, attracting a burst of harmony among the woods.

"Third master, the brothers in this area have already been acquainted with each other, and they will be fine." Another young man in a short suit said to the bronzed-skinned leader.

"Be careful." The third master's eyes were still searching in all directions, and he said: "This is tens of thousands of oceans of goods, something went wrong, and the boss can't spare us when we go back." ”

"We will come to our place after crossing the front few mountain beams, they have already arrived here, and those green policemen from Shaanxi will never appear here." The young man in the short suit said disapprerovitically: "Besides, who doesn't know the prestige of the third master in this hundred miles of land?" With you, who ate the ambition leopard guts, dare to hit our idea. ”

"Fart!" Although the third master smiled and scolded, he was very useful in his heart. The third master's full name is Zhu Sanbiao, a native of Guyuan, Gansu, in his early years, he roamed the rivers and lakes, drank spirits, rode strong horses, and could make a good gun, and was a famous swordsman in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Because of the anti-drug and anti-smoking policy of the southwest government, the price of tobacco and soil in the secret area under its jurisdiction has been rising, and the Shaanxi region, which belongs to the southwest, has naturally become one of the boundaries that many drug smugglers flock to. In the face of such a Golden Strip, Ma Anliang, who was the governor of Gansu, was naturally unwilling, and specially organized a group of people to help him do some smuggling of tobacco and soil, and Zhu Sanbiao was one of the many smuggling lines employed by Ma Anliang.

Looking at the dense bushes around him, Zhu Sanye spoke: "The one surnamed Duan in Dingbian County is not a master to be messed with, Du Wuye, Mei Qiye, that is not famous, but it is all planted in his hands, who knows if he is eyeing us, it is better to be careful." ”

"This is also true, this kid surnamed Duan is really bold, even people like the fifth master and the seventh master dare to provoke, did they eat leopard gall?"

"Isn't the fifth master Ma Dashuai's person? Why is Ma Dashuai watching? Another stout man next to him asked curiously. The man had a heap of flesh on his face, a pair of eyes shining, and a brand-new Mauser rifle behind his back, which was haphazardly fastened with a cloth strap around his waist.

"Ma Dashuai is not as good as it used to be!" Zhu Sanye pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

The Ma Dashuai in the mouths of several people is Ma Fuxiang, the Ningxia Protector who is now entrenched in Ningxia. Because of his different backgrounds and different styles, Ma Fuxiang, who was born in an official eunuch, naturally couldn't get used to Ma Anliang, who was born as a bandit, so after Yuan Shikai served as president and Gansu recognized the republican form of government, he was squeezed out by Ma Anliang, who was appointed as the governor of Gansu, and rushed to Ningxia to serve as the Ningxia military envoy.

"Third master, don't worry, the kid surnamed Duan really doesn't know how to do it, and the things we have in our hands are not vegetarian." The stout man slapped the gun in his hand.

"Fart! It's nothing to mess with him, it's hard to mess with the Southwest Army behind him, these greenskins are the masters who kill people without blinking. The third master scolded. To say that for Duan Zhengtao, the police chief of Dingbian County, Shanxi, Zhu Sanbiao said that it was impossible not to hate it, after all, he had a lot of dealings with Duan Zhengtao, and he had broken a lot of subordinates in Duan Zhengtao's hands, but he really didn't dare to touch Duan Zhengtao, who had the backing of the southwest government. Not to mention the bloody methods adopted by the southwest government in dealing with the Sichuan brothers, but as recently as possible, he has not only heard of but also seen the bandits who were chased around in Shaanxi in the past year. Therefore, if he can not anger the southwest government, Zhu Sanbiao will never want to anger him.

"The third master is right, it's better not to mess with us if these officials don't mess with us." As soon as Zhu Sanbiao's words fell, the man with a spear on his back at the front said to himself.

At this moment, Zhu Sanye, who was walking widely, suddenly raised a hand, and several people immediately stopped, raised their guns vigilantly, and looked around. There was no sound in the dark woods, and they didn't dare to be careless.

"Who's here? In Xia Zhu Sanbiao, here to borrow the way, but also ask the master to be accommodating. Zhu Sanlong clenched his fists and shouted loudly at the woods in front of him, and the spearman quietly retreated and ran towards the middle of the group. After a long time, there was not the slightest sound on the other side, Zhu Sanlong paused, and shouted loudly again: "In Xia Zhu Sanbiao, please make it convenient for the head of the house today, and come to worship the mountain on a different day!" ”

Still didn't respond, the man in the short suit hesitated a little, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Sanbiao, the meaning of his gaze was obvious, was it a mistake. But Zhu Sanlong was unmoved, his eyes were still vigilant. Seeing this, the man in the short suit looked at the empty mountain range helplessly, his expression was a little relaxed, and then a thick voice came from inside the mountain range.

"Zhu Sanbiao, Zhu Sanye, I have admired my name for a long time!"

"Zhu is ignorant, and he hasn't asked for the name of a hero." Zhu Sanbiao sneered in his heart, this person is too bold, he dares to rob goods near Admiral's territory, he is really looking for death.

"Hey, listen up. If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Duan Zhengtao, police chief of Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province. All of you surrender your weapons and line up or face the consequences! With the voice, a heroic young man stood in the woods ahead, holding a pistol in his hand and wearing a green uniform peculiar to the Southwest police.

Hearing Duan Zhengtao, Zhu Sanbiao's heart sank, knowing that today's things couldn't be good. His eyes scanned to the sides, and he wondered very strangely, how could they know our course of action and lay in ambush here early? Do we have an inner ghost in us? Thinking of this, his heart tightened.

"Third master, what should I do? To fight or not to fight? The man in the short suit shouted a little nervously, these policemen under the jurisdiction of the southwest are different from the officers and soldiers in other places, how can those people be accommodating, these people can only fight to the death. But Zhu Sanbiao hadn't made up his mind to fight at all at this time.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man with a white cloth wrapped around his head hurriedly came from behind. This person is Ma Anliang's confidant, and he is the real master of this caravan. I just heard him say: "Third child, how is it?" ”

"Xiao Ye, it's the policeman in Dingbian, Duan Zhengtao." Zhu Sanlong said lightly.

When Xiao Ye heard this, his face immediately turned pale. Then, without waiting for him to speak, Duan Zhengtao on the other side shouted again: "Hmph, I know what your idea is, and I'm not afraid to tell you that for this operation, I seconded a company of our 10th Army Division, but they have all met the real chapter with the British in Burma, just rely on you?" ”

Although Duan Zhengtao's later words were not explicitly stated, how could Zhu Sanbiao not understand the meaning of his words. Although the Horse Racing Gang is indispensable to fight bravely and ruthlessly, if you can not fight, you will not fight, and if you can solve it with money, it is best to solve it with money. Most of these people in their own horse gang are poor people from a bitter background, the Gansu region has been in war for many years, the land is barren, the grain production is low, most of the people can not even maintain food and clothing, they come out to run the horse gang, but only to supplement the family, not to die.

"Third, what do you think?" Xiao Ye asked Zhu Sanbiao nervously. This Xiao Ye is not a stupid person, and he instantly understood the disparity in strength between the two sides.

"They're all ready, and we're probably surrounded." Zhu Sanbiao was slightly flustered in his heart, he believed that he could completely break through with his skills, but he didn't worry about the brothers under his command who came out with him to run the horse gang, he couldn't leave these brothers behind.

Xiao Ye immediately panicked, he naturally knew what the crime of smuggling tobacco was in the southwest. Zhu Sanbiao glanced at Xiao Ye with some disdain, he didn't have so much thought, after all, he was only hired this time. After a pause, he raised his voice and said, "Director Duan, it's okay if you want us to surrender our guns, but you have to show your hands to the brothers so that they can be convinced, right?" ”

"Haha." Hearing Zhu Sanbiao's words, Duan Zhengtao suddenly laughed and said, "Zhu Sanye, I know that you have good marksmanship. It is a pity that this is not a contest in the green forest, this is an officer and soldier catching robbers, and it is to suppress evil with good. If you don't show this hand, you will have to bow down to the law. ”

Zhu Sanbiao's face flashed with anger, being an official is so unreasonable, but he really has no way to take Duan Zhengtao. It was a chilling voice.

"Less nonsense, no guns. Have a good time, what so much nonsense. But it was the company commander who led the team this time who spoke up.

Zhu Sanbiao's face changed, and he quickly pulled out a pistol with both hands and pointed it at this person. The officer was in his twenties, with bright eyes and a Southwestern ** in his hand, but he didn't care about the gun pointed at him. I saw him look at Zhu Sanbiao with a smile and said, "What? Want to get your hands on me? ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to shoot a gun, and with a "snap", the bullet grazed Zhu Sanbiao's ear, just knocking off the bell on the neck of the mule and horse not far behind him.

Zhu Sanbiao broke out in a cold sweat, with this hand alone, he knew that he couldn't please him, this person was worthy of being a person who fought hard with the British devils in Burma. With a look of frustration on his face, he put down the shell gun in his hand.
