Chapter 21: The Net Opens Up

Jairus didn't answer, and took two steps back with an expressionless face.

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the horse bandit in front of him turned into a hedgehog. Jianwei bent down and touched them, searched out a string of bright keys and waist cards, and waved his hand at Zhao Zheng behind him:

"The horses stay, and the people come in."

Zhao Zheng had a cold face and got off the horse. Leaving half of the people to guard the door, Zhao Wenlie twisted his eyebrows and persuaded on the side: "Father, beware of deceit!" ”

After a moment of hesitation, he saw that Xuehe had already jumped off the horse and followed Jianyu in.

Lie to your sister!

Zhao Zheng secretly gritted his teeth in his heart: I'm afraid that there will be fraud, why didn't you shoot that male vixen together just now! Then I'll take the time to chop you up too, and the world will be so quiet.

Seeing his father's calm face, Zhao Wenlie only thought that he was talking too much, and didn't dare to talk more, so he quietly got off the horse, followed behind his father, and entered the dilapidated wooden door with his soldiers.

Jairus was obviously familiar with the place, picked a torch from the wall, and even pinched two peanuts and stuffed them into her mouth when she passed by the janitor's wine table.

It doesn't look big at the door, but it's really a hole inside.

"It is said that this was originally the tomb of a certain Loulan princess, and after the tomb was hollowed out, it became a hiding place for horse bandits." Almost without thinking, he led everyone down from the winding stone steps, and when he walked out of a short distance and encountered the stone gate, he took out the key and scratched on the stone wall carved with intricate patterns next to the door, and the stone door opened.

It's like going back to your own home.

Zhao Wenlie next to him couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so familiar with this place?" ”

Jairus disagreed: "You have to come every day, you are also familiar." ”

If you don't have anything to eat, look for horse bandits; If you don't have any alcohol to drink, look for horse bandits; There is no money to spend, and you have to find horse bandits - in short, if there is difficulty, find horse bandits.

“???”

Seeing his puzzled face, Jianxi explained impatiently: "This is a place for horse bandits to stock up on food and money, and I will come over to take a look when there is little food and drink." ”

"Even stealing the stuff of horse bandits?! Is there humanity? ”

Xue He asked with a glare.

"Who stole it?"

Jairus suddenly stopped his steps and corrected dissatisfiedly: "When you don't meet someone, it's called to take, and when you meet someone, it's to rob!" Why do you want to steal it! Labor and management are always above board! ”

“……”

This time, not only Zhao Zheng, but also Zhao Wenlie's face was capitalized.

The fierce horse bandits who used to bully the people, rob homes and rob houses in people's minds, how did they come to him, and their personalities suddenly collapsed into a vulnerable group?

"Nine of you?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"That's right."

"There are 5,000 horse bandits here?"

"Not only that, but there are also seven or eight thousand."

"Nine people fighting seven or eight thousand horse bandits? Like playing? You're pretending to be a little too much. Zhao Zheng said coldly.

Jianwei raised his eyebrows: "There are many people and many people play, and there are few people and there are few people." Our brothers fight horse bandits and don't kill people, nine people are enough. ”

Who would believe this kind of thing?!

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but regret a little at this time: why did he easily believe his nonsense in the first place? This cowhide is too blown! Even if it's a thousand-year-old fox fairy, it's too outrageous! …… This guy can't be a charlatan, right?

Jairus obviously sensed his doubts, folded her arms in front of her chest, and stared at him with a pair of demon eyes.

Zhao Zheng disagreed. A vixen, what is the name of the jaw? It's okay to be careful with the small belly chicken intestines, and you still love to pretend to be so forced, tsk.

Jairus seemed to see through his thoughts, and reached out and shook it in front of him: "Bow and arrow." ”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand, and a soldier immediately handed over a set of bows and arrows, and took it with a cold face:

"You're all standing still. - Today, I will show you how our brothers fought horse bandits. ”

"Come on, Xiaoqi!"

Except for Snow River, almost everyone's expressions were skeptical.

Holding her breath, she lifted up the front of her long robe and tied it around her waist with an unhappy face, and her long sleeves were also tightened, and her whole body was cleaned up neatly. After walking a few more steps, he suddenly stopped, opened his bow and arrows, and with an 'ah' sound, the horse bandit, who had just poked out half of his head, fell to the ground.

The distance was about four or five zhang away, and the carved arrow pierced through the throat with great precision.

He quickly moved to the front, groped around the dead man for a while, took off the bandit's scimitar and pinned it to his waist, and untied the deerskin bag containing the throwing knife and other things and hung it on himself.

Agile and fast as an ape, I only feel that he instantly changed from a scholar with an elegant temperament to a ranger with strong martial arts, alert and decisive, like a civet cat sneaking in the dark, quietly, and the aura of the whole person has become different.

Zhao Zheng was secretly surprised in his heart: Are all male vixens so powerful now?!

In fact, from the moment he took the bow and arrow, Zhao Zheng already believed his words a little. When this person's fingertips just touched the weapon, the calmness and decisiveness in his eyes, the kind of calmness and confidence unique to a martial artist, could not be done by casually pretending, but only slowly accumulated after a long period of training.

Just like Qin Song often squeezed him, and even said to him: Leading troops to fight is simply self-inflicted humiliation, because you don't have the temperament of a commander at all, and that energy can't be pretended, it's innate.

He didn't believe it before, but when he saw this man today, he suddenly believed.

There is such a momentum in Jair's body now, although he has not yet made a move, but the people around him can already feel that he will definitely succeed. I can't say why, but I just think he can do it.

Probably this is the legendary master?

At the end of the stone road leads to a circular hall that is two stories high, with a total of nine openings leading to it, and they are located on the upper floor.

The sound of someone talking in the hall could be heard in the distance, and as soon as Jairus showed up, he shot several arrows directly downward, and then there was a commotion.

Because it is a dungeon, the ceiling is very low, and you can reach it with a slight raise of your hand.

I saw him clasp the relief pattern of the ceiling with one hand, swing his whole body forward, and kick the door of the oncoming man right in front of him, and without saying a word, he stepped under his feet and cut the throat with a scimitar.

Without stopping for a moment, Jairus leaped forward and landed lightly on the wooden table in the middle of the hall. This act was like a hornet's nest, and there were constantly loud bandits gathering from all sides of the cave towards the central hall.

Jaira stood on the table, shooting arrows and throwing knives at a distance, and cutting off his head with a scimitar when he was near. It's like chopping melons and vegetables, and no one can get close to him at all. The whole process was relaxed and pleasant, and it took about a pillar of incense to touch the Gonggong, and the lively hall gradually stopped, and he whistled in the direction of Zhao Zheng.

Everyone was lying at the entrance of the cave, and they all looked stupid.

Snow River was the first to run out.

I saw about a dozen people lying on the small square table in the middle of the hall, stacked high like arhats, and Jairus was sitting on top of her and looking at her with a smile, rubbing the blood on the scimitar on the butt of a fat man.

It took the soldiers a long time to come to their senses, and after a burst of exclamation, they came down to clean up the battlefield. After a brief count, there were about fifty or sixty people, and there were about a dozen people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Xiao Qi is so powerful!"

Jairus returned the knife to the sheath, jumped to the ground, took off the bow on his body, and threw it back to Zhao Zheng along with the empty arrow box. Zhao Zheng glanced at the horse bandits on the ground, some of them had carved arrows inserted in their bodies, and some of them were flying knives, in short, the arrows were not missing.

Zhao Zheng's expression was complicated, if it weren't for the presence of many small soldiers, he really wanted to be cheeky and ask for an autograph.

Zhao Wenlie took the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and tied up a few alive, and then he stepped forward with a look of worship and hugged his fists and said: "I don't know the hero's name? It's really so admirable that I can throw myself to the ground! Will you take me as an apprentice? ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zheng kicked his buttocks, and Zhao Wenlie covered his ass and stepped aside with an aggrieved face.

Jianwei smiled, unbuttoned his shirt and cuffs, and said lightly: "I don't accept apprentices, and the appearance fee is expensive, I'm afraid that your palace can't afford it." ”

Zhao Zheng bowed his hand to him very seriously: "Be taught." ”

"The prince is polite." Return the gift.

"But what about the treasure that was promised?" Xue He tugged at his sleeve expectantly.

"Hmmm......"

Jairus touched her chin, looked around, pointed to one of the holes and said, "That." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

"That hole smells of money."

Zhao Wenlie took the letter into search suspiciously, and sure enough, he quickly ran back with an excited face: "There is a lot of gold!" ”

"Huh? Guess what? ”

Xue He didn't believe in his.

"Because there are the most people coming out of that hole, there must be treasures."

Jairus explained with a smile.

It turns out that you still remember to count when you fight monsters!

As if she suddenly remembered something, she turned to Zhao Zheng and said, "Since what I promised has been done, I wonder if the prince can agree to my request?" ”

Zhao Zheng glanced at him: "Speak." ”

"Gold and silver can be taken away, but food cannot be touched."

“…… Why? ”

"The sea of sand in this northern wilderness is a Jedi, and food is related to life. If the prince can leave the grain, it can be regarded as leaving a glimmer of life, and if there are travelers in distress here in the future, it will also be regarded as a merit of the prince. ”

Zhao Zheng groaned slightly: There are travelers in distress here? That's a nice thing to say! Who else but horse bandits can know this place of the hell?

"This king is here to suppress bandits for the imperial court, so naturally he wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! Are you telling me to appease adultery? ”

"Definitely."

Jianwei shook his head: "Horse bandits are not born bandits, some are greedy for money, and some are because the world is difficult and they can't survive. …… Don't kill them as much as possible, if the prince can open the net, there will be good fortune in the future. ”

Silent.

From Qin Bai's point of view alone, what he said is of course reasonable, and killing them all is never the right way to teach people to be good; But with Zhao Zheng's position, this will definitely not work. Ning Wang Zhao Zheng has always been ruthless in doing things, and his style must be confiscated with gold and silver, killed all the horse bandits on the spot, burned all the grain, and sealed the hole to prevent future troubles.

- There is a risk in breaking people, but if you are loyal to the role and violate your conscience, alas.

"Wow, that's how you grow leeks and cut leeks?"

Xue He suddenly laughed and said: "No wonder there are always fresh leeks to eat, what a clever way!" ”

"Oh, don't say it."
