Chapter 49: The Bandit's Lair

The first to climb to the top of the mountain was Wang San, he carefully poked out half of his head, carefully observed the situation on the top of the mountain, but found that what caught his eye was a row of extremely old houses, but he could not see the shadow of a bandit, obviously these houses were built by the bandits in the early years, and they were no longer in disrepair at this time.

"Brother Hua An, there is no one up there, you can go up with confidence." Wang San said and climbed up first.

Immediately afterwards, Hua'an and all the soldiers also climbed to the top of the mountain one by one. The moment they stood on the top of the mountain, everyone felt a sense of relief and collapse.

Hua An looked up at the bright moon above his head, and said lightly: "Fortunately, it's only an hour, maybe it's still too late." ”

"An hour, how can you see it." Tie Niu also looked up at the moon in the sky, but frowned in confusion.

Looking at the moon and telling the hour is a pediatric for Hua'an, but it seems too difficult for a rough person like Tie Niu.

Hua An glanced at Tie Niu, smiled, turned around and began to carefully observe the surroundings, just in case, he asked all the soldiers to hide in the dilapidated house in front of him to rest.

And Hua An himself, Wang San and Tie Niu, changed into civilian clothes and quietly investigated the place where the bandit leader might live.

Although the front of the bandits is extremely tightly arranged, this is the rear of the cottage, which is their base camp and comfortable nest. Therefore, they did not suspect that the enemy would appear here, and naturally relaxed their vigilance.

It was already late, most of the bandits were sleeping, and the occasional bandit encountered on the road only glanced at them, after all, there were 5,000 people here, and no one could guarantee that they knew all the people in the cottage, even the owner of the cottage.

In the center of the cottage is an open space, around which rows of wooden houses are built.

The houses on the south side are relatively the most rudimentary, and the most numerous, obviously for ordinary bandits, the east and west sides are slightly better, and the small leaders of the bandits are naturally inhabited, and the most exquisite houses are naturally a few rows of two-story buildings on the north side.

In the middle of this two-story building is a huge hall, and the plaque hanging at the door is neatly written with three large gilded characters of 'Juyi Hall'.

This is the place where the leaders of the bandits discuss important matters, and it is also the core of the entire cottage, at this time, the doors and windows of the hall are simply pasted with a few pieces of red paper, and two red lanterns are hung high above the main entrance, which looks quite festive.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hua An's mouth, and he glanced sideways at Wang San and Tie Niu beside him, and the two of them quietly sneaked to the main entrance of Juyi Hall from both sides.

The two little thieves guarding the hall suddenly saw the two sneakily touching them, and were about to scold them, but the two immediately pounced, grabbed the necks of the two little thieves, and easily killed them with a twist, and then quietly dragged the body into a vacant room.

Hua An paced through the gate of the Juyi Hall, and Wang San and Tie Niu, who had dealt with the two little thieves, also followed.

"Come, come, brethren, drink!"

In the cottage Juyi Hall, the owner of the village is wearing a big red flower on his chest, and he is drinking wine with his leaders.

All the thieves were immersed in the joy of the big wedding of the owner of the village, and turned a blind eye to Hua'an and the others who quietly broke in, and they may even not see Hua'an and the others at all or regarded Hua'an as their own, and the drunken bandit boss only had wine and meat in his eyes.

Hua An didn't regard himself as an outsider, he casually picked up a bowl of wine from the table and drank it with the bandit leaders around him, such an intimate act naturally made the bandit leaders even less suspicious of him.

"Brothers, everyone has worked hard these days, the officers and soldiers of the court have destroyed more than 10,000 of my brothers' horses, and even the 5,000 brothers we went to reinforce have been hanged, this revenge cannot be avenged, Lao Tzu must pay for the blood debts of these officers and soldiers." The bandit leader shouted loudly with a bowl of wine.

The big and small bandits who were drinking wine and eating meat were shocked, and they all turned their eyes to the bandit leader who spoke, and the fact that the imperial army had exterminated more than 10,000 bandits within a month was a lingering shadow in their hearts.

The leader of the bandits, bared his teeth, and then said viciously: "Brothers, don't worry, this person next to the master of this village is the envoy of the Northern Great Zhao State, the warrior of the Qianren people, and the captain of the pioneer battalion of the former army of the Great Zhao, as long as we form an alliance with the Great Zhao State, defend the cottage to the death, and wait for the million-strong army of the Great Zhao to set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, we will be the heroes, and the rewards such as money, food, and beauties will not be less, and the brothers will not have to hide in this barren mountain, hahaha!" ”

After the bandit leader finished speaking, the blonde-haired and blue-eyed Hu envoy next to him stood up and nodded to the bandits quite heroically.

As soon as the thieves heard that there was such a strong foreign aid, their feelings immediately rose a lot, and the sound of drinking wine and eating meat filled the entire hall in an instant.

The leader of the bandits appeased his subordinates, then changed his words, and said with a smile: "Brothers, drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat, the owner of this village heard that his brother was destroyed in the past few days, and his heart is holding back the fire, and a delicate bride fell from the sky, and fell into the arms of the owner of the village, how can the owner of the village refuse the good intentions of God, so he has to reluctantly let her be the wife of the village, hahahaha!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

The big and small leaders of the bandits laughed loudly when they heard the ridicule of the owner of the village.

One of the bandit leaders complimented loudly: "The bride, no, no, no, it's a lady, white and tender, at first glance, she is a young lady from a big family, and the owner of the village is so blessed!" ”

"Congratulations to the owner of the village, congratulations to the owner of the village, we salute the owner of the village with a bowl."

The bandit leaders also shouted compliments.

"Although the beauty is good, the owner of the village should be leisurely! Do you have some strength to deal with the officers and soldiers who encircle and suppress you? The envoy of the Hu people was very concerned about the leader of the bandits.

The leader of the bandits patted his chest and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Lord Messenger, you can't even handle a woman, what can you do, the owner of this village is still very young, hahaha!" ”

The bandit leaders, large and small, were delighted when they heard this, and they vied with each other to toast their leaders.

The bandit leader had a shiny face and a face full of wine, and promised his subordinates one by one.

Hua An, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at the bandit leader in front of him angrily, with a trace of killing intent in his eyes, and Wang San and Tie Niu next to him were also filled with righteous indignation.

Hua An looked at the two of them, and the two of them left separately, and Hua An, who finally got out, looked at Wang San and Tie Niu in front of him, and discussed: "Nearly two hundred people inside are the leaders of the bandits, and they are drinking crookedly at the moment, and they are unprepared, if we seize this opportunity to solve all these leaders, we may be able to completely disintegrate the effective resistance of the bandits and completely pacify this rabble." ”

Wang San pondered for a moment and said worriedly: "The eighty soldiers of our army are absolutely sure that they will solve the nearly two hundred bandit leaders in Juyi Hall, but I don't know if the leaders of the bandits are all here, if some of the leaders patrol outside and escape the catastrophe, our army will be very dangerous."

"I'm afraid of a bird, it's a big deal if the fish dies and the net breaks." Iron Bull looked furious.

Hua An frowned and thought about it repeatedly, and finally made up his mind and prepared to do a big job.

"Wang San, Tie Niu, the two of you immediately go back and send a signal to the soldiers under the cliff, let them scatter around the cottage and set fire, as long as the fire is all around, you two will lead all the warriors to kill the cottage Juyitang, and kill all the leaders of the bandits."

"Hmm." Wang San and Tie Niu nodded in response.

"Brother Hua An, aren't you going back together?" Wang San turned around and asked.

Hua An looked at a small two-story building on the side of Juyi Hall, and said lightly: "The candlelight on the second floor of the small building next to it is bright, it must be the place where the young lady is detained, the eldest brother will go over and take a look alone, and I am relieved that the soldiers will be handed over to the two of you." ”

"Brother Hua An, be careful."

"The team is careful."

Wang San and Tie Niu cared about it, and turned around and walked towards the back mountain.

######

"Stop, what's going on?"

As soon as Hua An walked up to the second floor, he was stopped by two thieves guarding the door.

Hua An snorted, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hands and strangled the two thieves to death in an instant, raised his hand and threw them into the grass downstairs.

"Squeak Squeak"

Hua An gently opened the door, and there were five or six red candles sparsely lit inside. But the small room is illuminated.

The dΓ©cor of the room was a little shabby, except for a few pieces of new red paper pasted on the walls around it, all that remained were some old furniture, and when you entered, there was a small table with six chairs messily placed around the table.

On the right side of the table against the wall is a large bed, on which a few quilts are simply stacked, and in front of the bed is an old dresser, on which combs, mirrors and other essential items for dressing are quite complete.

At this time, a bride in a red robe sat quietly in front of the dresser, and next to the bride stood a familiar figure, Hua An recognized that this person was the maid Xiaocui who had just met a month ago.

Xiao Cui naturally also saw Hua An who suddenly broke in, she was startled and was about to ask a question, but Hua An signaled her not to make a sound, Xiao Cui quietly walked out of the door and went to monitor the movement outside.

"Xiaocui, where are you going?" Wang Ling saw his personal maid walking away from his side and asked anxiously.

Hua An looked at Wang Ling, who was still wearing a red hijab in front of him, and suddenly happy scenes from his childhood appeared in front of him, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Miss, it's me." ”

Wang Ling was stunned, he could hear the voice of a man in front of him, and he quickly lifted the red hijab on the top of his head and looked at Hua An.

"Who are you?" Wang Ling's eyes widened, frowning, and his body was involuntarily stunned.

It's no wonder that after so many years, Hua'an has changed too much, when the two of them played together, Hua'an was still a child, and now, Hua'an has become a warrior of the Great Jin Kingdom, and the childishness of his childhood has long faded.
