Chapter 20: A Drum Down

After dark, Bai Qi did not act immediately.

It took nearly five watches for him to wake up his horse thieves.

According to the strategy discussed before, Qixing left the valley first with twenty athletic leaders, and their mission was to infiltrate the valley village and open the gate.

After Qixing led the people away, Bai Qi left ten people to watch the horses, and took the remaining elite horse thieves and led the horses out of the valley.

The sky before dawn was extremely dark, and although the horse thieves in the northwest ate meat and milk and had no night blindness, they could not see the road clearly in such a dark night, so they could only lead the horses slowly.

It took more than half an hour for everyone to finally reach the outside of the valley that led to the wasp's lair.

After waiting for another half an hour at the mouth of the valley, a faint white light had already appeared on the eastern horizon, and just when Bai Qi was anxious, on the stone wall in the middle of the valley in front of him, a lantern that had been hanging on the gate of the village suddenly moved, drawing a circle in the air.

Bai Qi, who was already sitting on the horse and waiting, kicked the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch rushed towards the gate in front of him like a dragon out of water.

The sound of two hundred horses charging in the valley sounded like thunder, and it suddenly woke up the wasp thieves who stayed behind the camp behind the gate.

Shouts of killing sounded in front of the gate.

The valley is not long, and the valley mouth is only more than a mile away from the walled gate in the middle, and the horses are galloping, but in a few tens of seconds, Bai Qi is not worried that Qixing with twenty leaders will not be able to stop the attack of dozens of ordinary horse thieves.

The gate is approaching, the sky is gradually brightening, in the faint light of dawn, Bai Qi saw that the gate was wide open. Dozens of people fought in front of the walled gate.

The gate is getting closer and closer, and it is in front of you in the blink of an eye. Bai Qi had even recognized the Seven Stars in the fighting crowd and the small leaders under him.

At the moment before Bai Qi rushed into the gate, the small leaders of the Black Eagle Thieves with strong martial arts shook off their opponents one after another. Get out of the way.

Two hundred iron horsemen rushed into the gate of the fortress like a torrent, and the wasp thieves who resisted at the gate of the gate were instantly crushed.

Some of the more clever wasp thieves did not participate in the battle to capture the walled gate, but went to the stables and wanted to get on their horses to fight, but by the time they got on their horses and turned back to help, the enemy had already rushed into the walled gate.

The wasp thieves fled to the back door of the camp.

Bai Qi shouted loudly, and ordered the horse thieves to divide half of them to stay in the camp, under the command of Qixing, and guard the gate of the village. He led the remaining thieves in pursuit of the fleeing wasps.

They chase the fleeing wasp thieves all the way to the wasp thieves' lair.

The wasp thieves in the old nest closed the gate of the village from a distance, so that the wasp thieves who fled to the gate of the village wanted to cry without tears.

Seeing that Bai Qi led people to chase after them viciously, there were those who were fierce, and they turned back to Bai Qi and killed them, and there were those who were cowardly, dismounted and climbed over the low wooden fence wall, and there were also those who were clever and turned their horses' heads. Flee into the wilderness.

Bai Qi ignored the dozen or so fierce horse thieves who rushed up, he bypassed these people, came to the vicinity of the walled gate, and flew off his horse. He jumped over the wall that was only three meters high, and killed it alone.

There were only thirty or forty wasp thieves left behind in the stockade, and when they saw Bai Qi alone, they entered alone. Immediately they all gathered around.

Bai Qi didn't open the gate of the village and laughed cruelly. Towards the surrounding wasps, they danced a dance of death in the crowd.

There were more than a hundred elite Black Eagle Thieves behind Bai Qi. In an instant, more than a dozen wasp thieves who counter-charged were drowned, and when they saw the bravery of the big boss, they were immediately excited, and jumped off their horses with a roar, and climbed over the wall with their bare hands, and in an instant they drowned the wasp thieves surrounding Bai Qi.

From the beginning to the end, no one opened the gate......

Seeing that the wasps and thieves in the village had been cleared, Bai Qi ordered someone to open the gate of the village.

After occupying the stockade, Bai Qi was not in a hurry to search for the loot, he waited until the arrival of the second master Qixing, and then ordered a few fine small leaders to lead people to search the entire cottage.

During the search, the horse thieves soon discovered that dozens of women were locked up in a row of houses deep in the cottage.

These dozens of women apparently acted as camps/prostitutes for the gang of horse thieves.

The women were held in stinking dark rooms, littered with filthy bedding, unkempt and skinny, some of them terminally ill.

Seeing this scene, even the horse thieves of the Black Eagle Thieves were unacceptable, they really couldn't imagine how the wasp thieves would do it in the face of such a woman.

Black Eagle thieves because they occupy the trading center of horse thieves in the northwest Black Eagle Town, there are many brothel taverns, and the big bosses of the year are not stingy people, the black eagle thieves have a lot of money in their pockets, they want women, and there are many beautiful goods in the brothels, so the Black Eagle thieves rarely rob women, and there are no camps/prostitutes in the village except for the big bosses who have eight ladies.

Glancing at the miserable woman, Bai Qi endured his nausea and handed them over to Qin Qing to deal with.

Soon after, the horse thieves completed their search of the stockade, and found very little.

Especially in the mansion of the big boss of Huang Mazi, except for a few scarred plump women, only a little scattered silver was found.

Of course, Bai Qi and Qixing didn't believe that Huang Mazi, who had been ravaging the northwest for three or four years, only had this bit of wealth.

Bai Qi asked people to send a few scarred women to Qin Qing, and asked Qixing to personally lead people to search carefully.

This time, Qixing focused his search on the gathering hall in the center of the cottage, which was also the residence of Huang Mazi.

The wasp thief's gathering hall is similar to the previous Yellow Sand Bandit, and it is also the layout of the front hall and back room, but the scale is much inferior.

Huang Mazi's living room is far less gorgeous than the former Yellow Sand Thief boss, with only one living room and one large bedroom.

Seven Stars searched the two rooms back and forth three or four times, took out all the furniture in the rooms and threw them in the yard to dismantle and smash them, and he dug up the floor of the room, but still found nothing.

Bai Qi walked around the gathering hall, and he found that Qixing had almost searched the back of the gathering hall and all the places he could think of in Huang Mazi's residence.

After thinking about it, Bai Qi asked people to escort the few captives and carefully asked them if there was any place in this cottage where Huang Mazi was forbidden for others to approach.

The caliber of several captives was very consistent, "No!" ”

Bai Qi's set of professional punishments came down, and even the Black Eagle thieves watching from the side broke out in a cold sweat, and they couldn't bear to look at it directly, several captives first talked nonsense, and finally they all cried and swore poison, there is really no such place in the cottage.

Bai Qi waved his hand, asked the captives who were spread all over the ground to stay, walked to the throne of Huang Mazi in the gathering hall and sat down, as if talking to himself, and as if asking the seven stars beside him, "Under such torture, these wasp thieves unanimously said no, then it should be really gone." ”

Qixing's face twitched his cheeks with an ugly face, and said, "Yes, this kind of torture, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who can withstand not telling the truth." ”

Bai Qi touched his chin and said, "That means, either Huang Mazi didn't save any money, or he transferred the money he saved to other places?" ”

Qixing said: "If you want to say that you haven't saved money, I'm the first to don't believe it, which horse thief in Black Eagle Town has the most shipments, others don't know, but they can't hide it from our eyes, in the past two years, the yellow horse thief has ranked first." ”

Bai Qi subconsciously looked at the gathering hall in front of him, and said with some regret: "In other words, Huang Mazi is likely to transfer all his money to other places. ”

When he said this, Bai Qi had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had missed something.

Qixing nodded, and was about to give up, but when he looked up, he saw that Bai Qi was still frowning and pondering, and asked, "What, big boss, do we have anything we haven't found?" ”

Listening to Qixing's question, Bai Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you think you have searched every inch of this gathering hall?" ”

Qixing said: "If you find it, you're about to dig three feet into the ground." ”

Bai Qi showed a confident smile, shook his head, and said, "No, there is a place you haven't found. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to his feet and said: "You patronized and searched Huang Mazi's residence, but did not search this gathering hall, logically speaking, without the call of the big boss, the general brothers are not allowed to enter the gathering hall, if the big boss is not there, other masters are not allowed to use the gathering hall when they convene the brothers." ”

"You see, this gathering hall is under the nose of the big boss, this is a forbidden area on weekdays, even if the big boss convenes everyone to discuss the matter, he must be present in person, if there are thieves patronizing, it must be like us for a few days, all eyes are on the back room, and ignore this empty front hall, if you put money here, do you think it is very safe?"

Listening to Bai Qi's words, Qixing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "It's still a big boss and a wise man." After speaking, he was about to beckon his subordinates to come and search, but suddenly remembered something, turned to Bai Qi and asked, "Big boss, I will call someone to search this front hall." ”

Bai Qi nodded lightly...... (To be continued......)
