"Owner of the village, good news, those officers and soldiers are not vulnerable at all, and they were directly beaten away by us, and they are not as strong as you say." The sound of the slippery head is loud and cheerful. He was happy to hear it.

The name of the person who came to report was Slippery Head, no name or surname, and from the day he went up the mountain, others asked him what his name was, and he only said that his name was Slippery Head, and later others also called him Slippery Head.

The slippery head is not tall, maybe a few points shorter than Xiao Qiang, his whole face is swollen red, his eyes are shining, the sweat on his forehead is dripping down his face, and the whole person is also panting, with his hands on his knees, bending over, exhaling heavily, but with a smile.

Xiao Qiang looked at him like this, and he didn't know why, he actually had an impulse to persuade him.

Or, leave the stockade with him.

Xiao Qiang was smart, and he had a hunch that this time was unusual. It's definitely not something that their force can deal with, and they are likely to be exterminated.

"What did you say?"

"Creditor, those officers and soldiers have been driven away by us, don't be afraid, they are all empty shelves, they have no ability at all, or the hall master has the ability."

The largest in this village is Xiao Qiang, the owner of the village, who founded the village by himself.

Xiao Qiang did not name the village, and others said that they were robbers on Cuiluo Mountain.

But Cuiluo Mountain is so big, it's not the robbers, only their forces.

In addition to Xiao Qiang, the creditor, there are ten hall masters in the village, that is, the ten chairs under the hall.

This chair, from one to ten, is in order.

In fact, these ten hall masters are also talented people selected from among the brothers of these hundred or so people.

Some people can settle accounts, some people can fight, some people can plant, and some people can craft things.

In fact, Xiao Qiang's village has achieved self-sufficiency, even if it is not governed by the court, they can manage themselves.

Therefore, these bandits are not only harming one party, but they are also out of the control of the Chu State government, which is equivalent to breaking away from their system, which is absolutely not allowed by the ruler.

The hall master that the slippery head said was named Zhao Wuxian. is a butcher by background, and he is a little angry, and he usually shouts and kills, but he is the one who shouts the most, and of course he is also at the forefront.

This time, according to the purge on the list, the government executed Zhao Wuxian's father, mother, wife and son.

Can Zhao Wuxian not be angry? Can you not hate? Can you not gnash your teeth? He hated to dismantle those officers and soldiers, and then kill them cleanly, and take revenge.

These corpses were thrown at the foot of the mountain after the officers and soldiers left, and they went to collect them themselves, and many old people and children, even babies who were still in swaddling clothes, were brutally murdered.

But Xiao Qiang thought that they were robbers, and when they robbed houses, they never let go of the caravans in the past, and they still didn't let go of the old people and children.

The methods were even more cruel than their unified executions, although it was not Xiao Qiang who did it.

It can only be said that it is a report and a report.

Because of the matter of revenge, Xiao Qiang and Zhao Wuxian had an unpleasant quarrel. It's not a one-time or two-time thing.

Because Xiao Qiang prevented them from going down the mountain to fight face-to-face with the officers and soldiers, all of Zhao Wuxian's family died except for Zhao Wuxian.

Zhao Wuxian blamed Xiao Qiang for his inaction, feeling that they obviously had the strength to fight, but they wanted to shrink in the village and be a turtle with a shrunken head.

It was so noisy that it was almost to the point of turning its face.

Usually, Zhao Wuxian is used to showing off his power in the village, and he has never missed a robbery outside.

So when they meet the officers and soldiers this time, they don't feel that they have to be scared, what are they worth?

"Ran away?" Xiao Qiang repeated, a little incredulous, why did she run away? "How many people are coming?" He asked again.

"There are less than 100 people, and the brothers in our village have dispatched more than 200 people, and we are outnumbered."

Slippery head is very happy in his heart, he likes the brothers in the village, he likes the life in the village, and he doesn't want to go back to the village to live such a poor life again.

He has been here for two years, and because he runs fast on his legs, he is the one who comes and goes to deliver news.

"How many of us are?" The other party obviously lined up a part of his troops to test them, how could they be driven away, it must be deliberate, and they can't be deceived.

The county magistrate told him that the identity of the people who came this time was not ordinary, and there were about 500 people in total, but it was unknown whether there would be reinforcements in the future.

In dealing with the matter of mountain bandits, the local county officials of Kuayi have no autonomy at all, and it is even impossible for them to deliver news to them under the nose of their superiors.

Usually, Xiao Qiang uses money to buy those officials and prevent them from affecting her livelihood, but now, it is difficult for people to cross the river and protect themselves, and if it is found out that the officials are colluding, those people will also be unlucky.

That's why Xiao Qiang felt even more nervous.

"In that case, let's get them back quickly."

"The hall master meant to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he was stopped by the other hall masters, so he sent me back to ask and ask the creditor's opinion."

"Crazy? If you don't come back quickly, if the other party sets a trap and waits for you to jump inside, none of you will come back. ”

"This ......" slipped his head, a little hesitant look appeared on his face, he also knew that as long as he was not a fool, he could know that there might be a trap here, but the hall master was too angry, the other party killed his own family, which he couldn't bear to bear.

"What is this, will you report the time when you come, it is estimated that it has been a long time, you hurry back, tell them to come back quickly, poor Kou Mo chase, remember to let them come back." Xiao Qiang had a strong premonition that if they didn't come back sooner, they wouldn't be able to come back.

Seeing the serious face of the owner of his village, the slippery head also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he arched his hand at Xiao Qiang, and then turned around and ran.

All of a sudden, it was gone.

Seeing that the slippery head ran back, Xiao Qiang's heart was a little calmer, but she was still worried that Zhao Wuxian would lose her mind and take her brothers to die.

He stepped down from his throne and walked back and forth in the hall, patiently waiting for news.

At this time, Xiao Qiang knew that he could not aggravate the panic atmosphere in the village, and he must let everyone perform their duties and maintain a normal life.

In addition, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the village, he also informed the brothers who escaped from the village in order to save their families, and told everyone that those people did not save their own families, but went to death one by one.

This also shows that Xiao Qiang's original decision was absolutely correct.

In fact, he didn't inquire about those who escaped at all, and some of them tried to escape, and half of those who escaped were killed by his own hands.

Why?

He feared that those who had escaped, in order to save their families, would sell the village and the location of the village.

There are many sentry posts in the stockade, and if you want to escape, you can't escape the eyes of many people. So basically the one who fled to the foot of the mountain is also a half-dead person, only in this way can Xiao Qiang not worry about the location of his cottage being leaked.

When those people came back, Xiao Qiang still wanted to tell them what she thought, what they had to do was not to fight with these officers and soldiers, not to fight with them.

Instead, they have to pack up their packages, and then find a suitable and safe place to hide from the limelight, and the food and many things in the stockade can support them for a long time.

Even if you don't rob your home.

Where there is life, there is hope.

There was no need for them to put the whole stockade into it for the sake of a momentary mood. Xiao Qiang has put a lot of effort into this village, and he doesn't want to see it perish.

After a long wait, his brothers finally returned.

All of his ten hall masters have returned.

The expressions on the faces are different, some are eccentric, some are listless, some are elated, and some are plain and introverted......

Xiao Qiang felt a little strange.

He ordered people to hurry up and prepare wine and food, and carried it to the table in the lobby, and the marinated beef and mutton were placed on a large plate, and when they were served, the aroma was overflowing.

Some people couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and pulled a leg of mutton, and began to eat and drink with a large bowl of wine.

Xiao Qiang sat back on his main seat, and he looked at the first person under his right, that is, Zhao Wuxian.

I want to talk about it, but I don't know where to start.

Zhao Wuxian's face was very excited, he still held a large knife in his hand, and some blood stains were seen on the big knife. There were cuts on the clothes, but it didn't seem to be hurt or bleeding.

"You're not hurt! Someone is coming, hurry up and ask the doctor to come and show the hall masters. Xiao Qiang also added.

When he came in with them, the faces of the men did not show pain, and they were not expected to be hurt.

Since he wasn't injured, he was just talking about finding a doctor.

Xiao Qiang did not support their descent this time. So whether they win or lose is actually not important in his heart, the main thing is that he has other plans in his heart.

"No need creditor! The other party was beaten by us and fled back, and we won a big victory. Hahaha. Taking care of it was very happy, Zhao Wuxian, who had a black face and a black face, took the lead in speaking out, and his voice was like a Hong Zhong, so that everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

When Zhao Wenwen's gaze fell on Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang could clearly feel his disdain for him.

Indeed, in this matter, he took a reserved attitude, while Zhao Wuxian took a radical attitude.

He only wanted to save himself and the village. And Zhao Wuxian really felt that a manly husband should fight to the death with them.

As everyone knows, they are just bandits, what kind of manly husband is the most important thing to live, when he went up the mountain and fell into the grass, it was for food, for money, for life.
