"Listening to you say this, this group of bandits has a lot of ability, why do they still rob ordinary villagers? That's not a lot of money. ”

Shopkeeper explained: "It's not appropriate to say looting, it's a bit like a gang collecting security premiums from merchants, it's a thief in charge of several villages, basically the whole county village has to pay money, and it is a lot of money to accumulate a lot." If any village dares not to pay, it will be fine at that time, and in a few days a group of bandits will come and kill all the villagers. Who would dare to disobey such a murderous name, you say? ”

"Then wouldn't they be able to collect money without making a big move, then there really was no way to suppress it."

"Not really, the money that ordinary villagers can come up with is limited after all. The majority of the thieves are still the squires and landlords, and these rich people have a nursing home at home, and if they go less, they will be killed and go to the government to receive a reward, and they will be helpless to hide in the city with the reward money afterwards, so at these times, the Scar Battalion will be mobilized in a big way. Two months ago, the government caught it once and killed dozens of them, but unfortunately most of them still ran away. ”

Luo Han behaved like a fledgling young man with a strong sense of curiosity, and finally asked the question inadvertently: "Then have these bandits done anything big recently?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "You have remembered this question, just the day before yesterday, the manor of Liu Dazhuang, who sells silk and satin in Anyang County next door, was patronized by the Scar Camp, and Liu Dazhuang did not dare to resist and gave a large sum of money. For this reason, the price of all the cloth in his silk village rose by 20%, and the small ones who wanted to buy new clothes could not succeed. ”

After getting the news he wanted, Luo Han didn't immediately support the second child of the shop, and asked some other things before letting him leave.

I don't blame Luo Han for bothering, the main reason is that Luo Han is afraid that the government will know that he will directly inquire about the whereabouts of the Scar Camp and send someone to follow him. You must know that in this scene, the government doesn't care about the lives of the warriors at all, if you find the den of the Scar Camp, and the government comes to the back of a yellow bird, you will rush to the money robbed by the Scar Camp, and you will have to be unlucky, even if you escape, it will be inconvenient to act in the name of a wanted criminal. You must know this kind of ancient scene, most of the thieves exterminated by the government will not return to the original owner, some of them will be handed over, and some of the officers and soldiers will be divided as rewards. At the same time, for the sake of fame, there is no need for Luo Han, a warrior to lead the way, and it is not difficult to depress the crime of being a thief with the party.

After a short rest, Luo Han checked out and left, rode around after leaving the city, and after confirming that no one was following him, he went straight to Anyang County. In a town, I bought some cosmetics, drew my eyebrows, put shadows on my face, made my complexion more sallow, and cut some hair to make a beard, basically no one recognized Luo Han's true face.

Then I went to the vicinity of the place where the incident occurred, easily inquired about the route of the Scar Camp, and followed to the edge of a mountain forest.

This is not the mountain forest that Luo Han came from, if that mountain forest focuses on the forest, then this mountain forest focuses on the mountain. The rolling hills occupy the entire field of vision, and the rugged and steep mountain roads are even more daunting, so it's no wonder that the government can't find the bandits of the Scar Camp from here, and this place is not suitable for large groups of people to move around.

The bandits were still very casual when they first entered the forest, and the traces of chaos were still clearly visible after a few days. Luo Han followed for a few miles, climbing the outermost mountain, and these obvious traces disappeared.

There were more stones here, and the thieves seemed to be careful, trying not to trample on the soft dirt and overgrown weeds, leaving a lot fewer traces at once. But after all, it is a large-scale dispatch, and no matter how careful you are, there will always be people who inadvertently leave flaws.

Luo Han carefully examined the weeds among the rocks, found some crooked plants, and chased them all the way.

To be honest, Luo Han thinks that this gang of bandits is very smart, they never need a lot of materials to loot, as long as they have cash and valuables, with not weak skills, they leave very few traces in this mountain forest. If an elite expert is sent to investigate, only enough secret posts need to be arranged, and the spies will not return.

This group of people is really very careful, Luo Han has also broken the clues several times, and has to cast a net to search for the broken traces, and the animals in the mountains often cause interference, and the speed of progress is very slow, and it is only thirty or forty miles before it gets dark.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Luo Han could only give up the idea of moving forward, he could see at night, but no matter how good his vision was in the dark, it was easy to miss some details. Anyway, Luo Han was not in a hurry, so he found a big tree and climbed it to rest.

When he came to this kind of place, the little fox became active, said something to Luo Han, and ran out on his own. Luo Han is not worried, but the little fox is also a demon pet, and he is good at changing, so there should be no danger.

slept on the tree until midnight, and Luo Han was suddenly woken up. When I opened my eyes, the little humanoid fox dragged a person to stand under the tree, with an expression of invitation.

Luo Han was overjoyed, jumped off the tree and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The little fox said, "I was playing in the mountains, and I met a fellow human, and he told me to be careful, saying that there was a human in the vicinity. I guess the owner is just looking for someone? Just ask clearly, knock this guy unconscious and bring it over. ”

Luo Han slapped his head and forgot about this. The little fox is a demon, not to mention other animals, there is no problem in dealing with foxes. The bandits are guarding against people, and they are not wary of animals. It's just that the fox is suspicious and cautious by nature, Luo Han has never seen one along the way, and he didn't think of this stubble.

"Well done. When this ticket is finished, the host will take you to the best restaurant in the city for a big meal. ”

The little fox screamed happily, then turned back to its original form and jumped back on Luo Han's shoulder, but rubbed his head against Luo Han's face.

Luo Han helped the little fox smooth the fur and said, "Light, don't get rid of my fake beard." Then he hid on the ground and patted the man's face.

The man woke up slowly, and his first reaction was to touch his waist, but unfortunately the weapon there was no longer there, but a cold long sword fell on his neck.

"If you don't want to die, be honest." Luo Han said viciously, and with a single stroke of the blade, it cut through the skin of the opponent's neck.

The other party immediately understood that the person in front of him was not a good master, and hurriedly said: "Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives." ”

"I ask you, who are you?"

This person's eyes flickered, and he spoke: "The little one is a disciple of the Mushan Sword Sect, who came here to collect rare herbs, I don't know why the hero is like this?" ”

Luo Han snorted and withdrew the long sword, and just as the other party breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Han's wrist flicked, and the long sword pierced his right shoulder socket.

"You still have one arm and two legs to scrap, and I suggest you don't challenge my discernment." Luo Han pulled out his long sword and said coldly: "Collecting herbs without any tools, going deep into the mountains and forests without a guide, could it be that you are still a native monkey here?" ”

This person was also stubborn, and he didn't cry out when he was injured like this, but just bit his lip and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Don't ask me questions, just answer them. Who are you? ”

This person was about to make up another identity, but when he saw Luo Han aiming his long sword at his other shoulder socket, he knew that it was difficult to lie, so he had to confess honestly: "My name is Zheng Qi, and I am the secret sentry of the Scar Battalion, responsible for patrolling this area to prevent the infiltration of the spies of the government. ”

"So it's close to your current camp?"

"No, this is just the periphery, it's more than twenty miles away from the camp."

Luo Han frowned and asked, "How many people are there in your Scar Camp?" How strong is it? ”

Zheng Qi said: "At present, there are more than 300 people, and there are no specific people. ”

"More than three hundred? Are there so many? ”

"This is counting the family members, and if you count only the brothers who can go out and collect money, it is only one hundred and twenty or thirty. There are three masters in the battalion, all of whom are first-class masters, and I can't compare the specific strength. ”

"Family?" Luo Han was a little embarrassed, his original plan was to kill this group of people forever, and cover up his existence by the way, but if there were still old people, children, women and children, Luo Han would be a little unable to do it. Even if he didn't think that these people who lived on the money soaked in the blood of the people looted by the bandits were innocent, it was still very against his will to kill them.

Zheng Qi saw Luo Han's hesitation, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged: "Hero, please let me go, I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a child who has just learned to speak at home, they can't live without me......"

"Shut up!" Luo Han put his heart on the side, anyway, sooner or later, he would be famous in the rivers and lakes, so he simply regarded this as his own fame battle, so that his reputation would start from here. Thinking of this, Luo Han suddenly relieved that he had always liked to keep a low profile, but sometimes he was too cautious.

"Lead the way, I can not kill you, and your family can be spared, if you really have a family."

Zheng Qi shook his head like a rattle: "Heroes, don't hurt me, if you let the boss know that I will lead you the way, my family will definitely die." ”

Luo said coldly: "Kill all the people who have seen you and me together, won't no one know?" Do you think I'll care about the lives of you thugs with the blood of innocent civilians on your hands? ”

Zheng Qi shuddered, Luo Han agitated the energy of his whole body at this moment, exuding an amazing momentum, coupled with the rich murderous aura that Luo Han had cultivated for a long time, Zheng Qi had no doubt that this was a demon king who killed people without blinking, even if there were several masters of the Scar Battalion, there was no such murderous aura like a substance.

Zheng Qi didn't dare to play tricks anymore, smiled bitterly, and said, "In this case, the hero, please come with me." As he spoke, he staggered deeper into the mountains.

Luo Han followed behind and asked, "I heard that the Scar Camp has been wandering, since there are such mountains and forests to hide, why don't you build a fixed cottage?" ”

Zheng Qi replied honestly: "The hero shouldn't be a local, right?" Since the formation of the Scar Battalion, Ganquan County has changed its monthly training camp into mountain training, one to train officers and soldiers in mountain combat, and the other to search our whereabouts by the way. At this point, we have to take refuge in the mountains even more remotely. By the time we came out, most of the camp had been discovered by officers and soldiers, and it had been completely destroyed. Now that the camp has been destroyed, we simply move to other places to facilitate the plundering of the rich elsewhere. ”

"Then why don't you just set up camp in the mountains?"

"The hero laughed, we are also human beings, we also need to eat and drink, it is not easy to cultivate in the mountains, and the food is also purchased from outside the mountains, if you live too far, it is extremely difficult to transport food."

As he was talking, Zheng Qi suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Hero, the front is already out of the scope of my responsibility, and the dark sentinel may find us at any time." We have a special flying pigeon book, if the news comes back, my family will be miserable, heroes should be careful. ”

Luo Han still wanted to leave Zheng Qi to lead the way, so he didn't want to stop him, so he said: "You take off your coat and wrap your face, won't no one know it's you?" As long as we go fast enough, even if the camp gets the news, it will not be too late to leave. Besides, it's not easy to get the word out near me. ”

Zheng Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took off his clothes with one hand, wrapping his face tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes. However, although they don't have to hide, the speed of the two of them still can't be fast, mainly because Zheng Qi's speed is too slow. He couldn't light a torch, and with his eyesight he could only grope his way forward by the moonlight.

After walking for a while, Luo Han's ears suddenly moved, and a message came from the wind, Luo Han jumped up, disappeared quickly, and ran back after a while. Zheng Qi was still hesitating to run away at this time, and when he saw Luo Han coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Hero, what happened?" ”

Luo Han said lightly: "Go and kill a person, he has a two-inch-long scar on his left cheek." ”

Zheng Qi was shocked: "That's Qiu Laosi, the secret whistle of this road." ”

"Then it's safe for now."

Zheng Qi was secretly lucky, fortunately he was in the outermost periphery, otherwise someone else would lead the way, and he was killed in the dark without saying a word. This person's perception is really terrifying, Zheng Qi is very suspicious, Qiu Laosi may not have discovered them at all, and he died in an unknown manner, and he was also a fool when he went to the underworld.

Soon Zheng Qi understood why Luo Han was fearless. Thirteen dark sentinels along the road were killed by Luo Han in the dark. In such a wilderness, Luo Han could easily learn the movements of living creatures in the distance from the fluctuations of the wind, and these dark sentinels were too conscientious, and none of them slept, since they were awake, it was impossible to remain motionless. In fact, Luo Han made up his mind from the beginning to rely on this ability to capture a prisoner and find the camp, which is also an ability that he has but the officers and soldiers do not have.

After a night of groping, when it was almost dawn, Zheng Qi finally said: "Hero, over this mountain, it is the newly established camp." I'll send it here, and if it gets to the light and someone finds out that I brought you here, my family will be finished. ”

Luo Han looked at the sky behind the mountain, it was indeed brighter than other places, it should be the lights in the camp. nodded at the moment and said softly: "Yu Yao, do it." ”。

The little fox opened its mouth and spit out a ball of fox fire in Zheng Qi's stunned gaze, igniting Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi struggled in pain, but his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Just because I said I wouldn't kill you doesn't mean it won't kill you."
