Chapter 192: Cottage
The cottage of the bandits is located on a mountain in Taiping Mountain, surrounded by steep mountains, three of which are steep cliffs, but the location of the cottage is a vast flat land, and there are sweet mountain springs and streams on it, and even more than ten acres of fertile land, which can be described as an ideal place for the establishment of the cottage. [~]
Masahiro is walking among the mountain and forest paths at the moment. In front of him and behind him were three close attendants, Ming Fengxiu was walking in front with the only living thin thief left, responsible for leading the way, of course, the thin man was sealed by a rag. Shigemasa Yoshida, on the other hand, walked behind the two with a bow and arrow, and he was in charge of conducting a long-range attack after Hidemasa Akimine noticed the anomaly. Masayo is slightly second, and the queen of the palace is Kinoshita Masanao.
Yes, the request of the three attendants is to attack the bandits of the bandits. This time they felt too humiliated, and decided to scoop down the bandit cottage in a fight to wash away the shame. Seeing the resolute looks of several people, Masashi once again realized the deep-rooted spirit of bushido, and in desperation, Masato agreed to their request. As a result, a bullshit heroic drama in which four samurai alone enter the cottage of bandits is about to be staged.
Woo... Woo... At this time, the thin thief in front suddenly stopped, and kept looking at a steep slope in front of him.
Masarashi motioned for Akimine Hidemasa to put the blade on the bandit's neck, and then scooped out the rag from the other party's mouth.
After the rag was taken out, the thin thief took a few breaths of fresh air, and then whispered: "My lord, on the steep slope in front is the sentry post of the cottage." []
Just now he suddenly noticed that the guys who had been in charge of torturing them suddenly muttered something to the young adult in front of him, at first he couldn't understand what these people were saying, and then suddenly remembered, isn't this the language of the Wako? At the beginning, he had also been at sea, and he had seen the bravery and ruthlessness of these widows, and he really killed people without blinking. Thinking of this, he immediately shuddered, and he didn't dare to fight the careful thoughts in his heart, he was really ready to be a spy wholeheartedly.
After getting confirmation from the Thin Mountain Bandit, Masarashi gave Kinoshita Masanao and Yoshida Shigemasa a look. The two immediately understood, and hurriedly sneaked all the way through the bushes, and slowly touched the bottom of the steep slope.
The steep slope is extremely steep in the direction of the coming road. So the two of them had to venture against the steep wall of the hill and walk along the mountain path.
Masarashi watched anxiously as the two of them walked inside, until they completely disappeared on the other side of the steep slope. Soon, a quarter of an hour passed. The two still haven't come out again. Masato felt that something should be wrong, and hurriedly stared at the thin man, ready to ask what was inside.
Adults, all the little ones who know the Tao have told you, that is the only sentry post in the cottage. As long as you pass there, you can reach the cottage, and the thin man is also very elf, and after feeling the cannibalistic gaze of Zhengliang, he didn't care about the long knife around his neck, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Your Highness, you see? At this time, Ming Feng Xiuzheng said suddenly.
Zhengliang looked up when he heard this. I saw a person suddenly appear on the steep slope. They were waving to him, signaling that they could pass safely. When you look closely, it is Kinoshita Masanao who has been in for a long time.
Seeing that Kinoshita Masanao was fine, Masashi breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and motioned for Ming Fengxiu to follow with the thin thief. He had already taken the lead towards the steep slope.
Soon we came to the entrance at the bottom of the steep slope and walked up the mountain path. It's a turning point right away. Turning this sloping bay, Zhengliang was suddenly startled. I saw a mountain road tens of meters in front of me. On one side is a steep hill slope and on the other side is a col that deepens as you go up until it becomes a canyon altogether. …,
Guarding this mountain road, it can really be said that a husband and a wife can't open it. As long as you stand on the top of a steep slope and attack the people on the mountain path, there are only two ways to jump down the col or retreat. No wonder the two of them walked for so long just now.
As we walked along the trail, which could accommodate four or five people walking side by side, I soon saw Shigemasa Yoshida, who was at the end of the trail and was in charge of greeting Masayo.
His Highness saw Masarashi coming, and Yoshida Shigemasa immediately greeted him, but somehow, there were no guards here at all.
Oh? When Zhengliang heard this, his heart suddenly became surprised. Could it be that as this thin bandit said, without the restraint of the bandit leader, these escaped bandits are in civil strife, if so, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the thin thief who looked honest.
Are there no other chieftains in the mountains? Masara asked.
My lord, we have just been here for a short time, and it turns out that the boss... Ah, no, the damned bearded bandit had seven men, and the rest were newly recruited skinny men who replied immediately.
My lord, those guys who escaped back must be fighting for supplies, and it is a good time for us to seize the cottage Ah the thin thief reminded again.
Let's go, it's not nonsense to lead the road in front, as long as the other party has no leader now, it's easy to do. Dealing with a few scattered bandits who had already been frightened, Zhengliang still had confidence.
Soon the group came to the end of the mountain road. Masanao Kinoshita, who received the wind from Yoshida Shigemasa, also came to meet. Under the guidance of the thin thief, everyone soon found the entrance to the cottage. It was a simple entrance made of trees, and although it was rudimentary, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack with the terrain on both sides.
At the moment, the entrance is still unguarded. Everyone entered the cottage smoothly. This cottage is different from ordinary bandit cottages, it is backed by a towering mountain peak on one side, and the other three sides are mountain cliffs, which are more than ten meters above the ground. A mountain spring that flows down from the back peak is left along the cliff to form a natural stream. What's even more peculiar is that the whole cottage seems to have at least 100 acres of land, and some trees grow around it, which is obviously a world of its own.
My lord, not far from the right is the hall of the cottage, now all the thieves should be inside, the back of the hall is the residence of the thief leader, the property of the cottage is stored there, the thin thief whispered, he didn't say no, Ming Fengxiu was holding a long knife on his neck at the moment. As soon as there is any abnormal movement or non-cooperation, the neck will bloom.
In the center is the daily residence of the small ones, and behind there is the cell of the cottage. On the left is the field that some of the captured people are responsible for cultivating, the thin thief whispered.
Well? Hearing this, Zhengliang suddenly asked, you said there are slaves here?
Be... Yes, they were all young men who had been snatched from all over the place, mostly women, and there were some slaves who were usually coolies in their cells.
Oh? Zhengliang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
