Chapter 38: What is the purpose?

Huang Xiaoshan led more than 200 elite mountain bandits under his command, hidden in the dark, looking at the brightly lit Yangjiazhuang not far away, Huang Xiaoshan's face was gloomy and a little scary.

He never thought that a small Yangjiazhuang would be so tricky, and in the face of Yangjiazhuang's ferocious crossbows, their elite men and horses who had been crisscrossing the Lianyun Mountains for many years had no way at all.

Just now, after a strong attack, he injured dozens of people, but he didn't even touch the courtyard wall of Yangjiazhuang, which made Huang Xiaoshan extremely annoyed in his heart.

Once upon a time, when did he Howling Tiger suffer such a loss?

Huang Feihu walked up to him, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Father, otherwise, let's retreat, if we continue to attack, I'm afraid it will only increase casualties." ”

Huang Xiaoshan looked at him with cold eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't take Yangjiazhuang tonight, and go back like this, you will definitely provoke the shame of your peers on the road. ”

Huang Feihu sighed secretly, bowed his head and said nothing, his father's temper, he knows better than anyone else, as long as it is a matter of decision, it is difficult to change.

At this time, a mountain bandit leader with a scar on his face suddenly spoke: "Big boss, the Yangjiazhuang wall is high and thick, and there are a large number of strong crossbow defenses, it seems that we can only find a way to outwit it, otherwise even if we attack it by force, it is estimated that our men and horses will suffer heavy casualties." ”

Huang Xiaoshan said expressionlessly: "How to outwit?" ”

The scar boss said: "A few days ago, my subordinates took people to inquire about the news near Yangjiazhuang, and accidentally found a purple-leaved tree nearby, which is very rare, and it also has a magical effect. ”

Huang Xiaoshan raised his eyebrows, "What effect?" ”

Scar Boss said: "When the purple leaf tree burns, it will emit a unique smell, and if you smell too much of that smell, people will have sore, drowsy, as if they are drunk. ”

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoshan's heart moved, and he was curious: "How did you know about this?" ”

The Scar Boss smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment, "This...... Before this subordinate took refuge in the big boss, he was a street gangster in Guangfeng City, because he inadvertently saved a Taoist priest, who had an ancient book of pills, I peeked a few times and found that there were many plants with strange medicinal effects recorded on it, including the purple leaf tree, in the ...... Later, his subordinates looked for purple leaf trees everywhere, specifically to charm some good women...... this ...... This is indeed shameful, but the subordinates have already stopped since they joined the Black Tiger Village. ”

Huang Xiaoshan glanced at him and said, "If this is true, after returning to the mountain, I will definitely remember your great achievements!" ”

Hearing this, the scar boss was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The subordinates have thanked the big boss!" ”

At this time, Huang Feihu looked at the scar leader and asked, "Where is that purple-leaved tree now?" ”

The Scar Leader hurriedly said, "The Purple Leaf Tree is on the edge of a small stream not far ahead, and my subordinates will bring someone over to cut it down." ”

After the scar leader left with a group of mountain bandits, Huang Xiaoshan suddenly ordered his subordinates: "Let go of the arrows, let the three masters evacuate quickly, and come here to meet us." ”

"Yes, boss!"

………………

Just after Huang Xiaoshan, who was attacking the main gate, led his men to evacuate and disappear suddenly, it didn't take long for news to come from the backyard, saying that the gang of mountain bandits who attacked the backyard also suddenly stopped attacking and disappeared.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Yang Zheng frowned, and secretly felt that something was wrong.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

The gang of mountain bandits in Black Tiger Village have lost so many people and horses in their own hands before and after, if they will give up attacking Yangjiazhuang, Yang Zheng will not believe it even if he dies.

Although his heart was full of doubts, Yang Zheng did not dare to take it lightly.

On the spot, he repeatedly told everyone that there must be a conspiracy when the thief suddenly disappeared, and everyone must be vigilant and take precautions, and must not let the thief's conspiracy succeed.

The night was like ink, and it was still dark.

The originally menacing thieves only attacked for a round, leaving dozens of corpses behind, and there was no movement, which made the entire Yangjiazhuang fall into a strange silence again.

Although there was no trace of the thief outside, but all the clansmen and Zhuang Ding who guarded the manor, they did not dare to be careless, basically, all corners of the courtyard wall and watchtowers, there were people who kept patrolling and visiting, for fear that the cunning thief would suddenly kill him.

Yang Zheng was still standing on the courtyard wall on the left side of the gate, looking at the endless darkness outside the village, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

Huang Xiaoshan suddenly disappeared with people, but Yang Zheng was sure that the thieves did not go far, they must be hiding near Yangjiazhuang, as if they were like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, and no one knew when they would appear.

Yang Zheng knew very well in his heart that the enemy he could see was not terrible. Only the invisible enemy is the most terrifying!

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and after estimating the time, it should be almost two o'clock in the morning.

The thief still did not appear, which made Yang Zheng's heart more and more confused and uneasy. "Could it be that Huang Xiaoshan really led the men and horses to retreat?"

Zhao Tiequan came to Yang Zheng's side again, "Owner, it's been so long, and there is no movement outside, do you want the old man to take some people out to investigate?" ”

Yang Zheng waved his hand, "Don't, who knows if this is Huang Xiaoshan's plan to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

"So we're going to do it like that?" Yang Meng, who was impatient, was a little out of breath.

Yang Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while, "No matter what conspiracy Huang Xiaoshan has, we can't leave the manor easily, we must stick to the courtyard wall, otherwise if we really fall for the thieves' tricks, Yangjiazhuang's situation will be dangerous." ”

Hearing this, Yang Meng could only suppress his temperament and continued to lie on the courtyard wall and wait.

After being silent for a moment, Yang Zheng asked Zhao Tiequan again, "Uncle Zhao, with your experience in the rivers and lakes, before the Black Tiger Village led the men and horses to storm the main gate without success, and suddenly disappeared, what plan do you think they are plotting?" ”

Zhao Tiequan thought for a long time, "This ...... It's really hard to judge......"

As he was talking, suddenly, on the courtyard walls on both sides of the main gate, someone suddenly let out a burst of exclamation. "Look, what's that?"

Hearing this, everyone looked up and looked ahead, only to see a fire suddenly appear in the dark wilderness in the distance, and then, it didn't take long to see the group of Black Tiger Village bandits who had disappeared for almost an hour, one by one, with torches, quickly approaching Yangjiazhuang.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Yang family was stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what those mountain bandits were doing with torches when they killed them again this time.

"Big brother, could it be that those thieves want to burn Yangjiazhuang?" Yang Meng frowned.
