Chapter 108: The Grim Reaper of Hope
readx;
No, no, it's so wrong, Lao Bian came out of the cave too early, even if all the exits are blocked, it shouldn't be a problem to support it for two or three hours. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then the question arises, why did Lao Bian give up the opportunity to protect himself and bring these women out?
Wu Xi has seen it, most of these women are women from good families who have been taken captive to the mountain, and none of them are serious Mrs. Zhai.
And what about Mrs. Zhai?
Wu Xi thought a little simple, from the beginning of the thought of Shipeng Mountain too simple.
The identities of Lao Bian and Hu Ruhai can be exchanged, so it is easier to exchange the identities between women.
Lao Bian kept saying that when he came out of the cave, he had killed all the women inside, and the people who stayed behind were all lords who were usually loyal to him.
But Wu Xi just didn't believe his nonsense, although he smashed his head on the stone wall, maybe it was to hide some secret.
This secret should be worth protecting with his life.
What is it exactly?
glanced at Hu Ruhai, who was nailed to the stone wall, half-dead **, but his eyes looked at Wu Xi intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Xi immediately felt that there must be a big article here.
The second dog obeyed the order, and immediately brought the fierce fire oil, poured it from the top of the mountain, and burned it for another hour. ”
Wu Xi gave an order in front of Hu Ruhai, he didn't believe that there were only a few people on the entire Laoniu Mountain.
The reason why he said it so loudly was to see Hu Ruhai's reaction.
Sure enough, Hu Ruhai's body trembled for a while, and then he bit his lip tightly, his face was flushed, and he seemed to have a breath in his stomach and nowhere to vent his anger.
Wu Xi smiled slyly, walked over and said: "If you say it now, I can consider letting the people inside live, if you are still obsessed, this barrel of fierce fire oil will burn, and I dare not guarantee that the people inside can come out holographic and full shadow." ”
After speaking, I waited for Hu Ruhai to give a word.
Hu Ruhai opened his mouth, but instead of speaking, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he was excitedly sifting chaff, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, fluctuating.
"You are not even as good as a brute, the former officials and soldiers came up for money, you son of a bitch, you are not a human being, if you give Lao Tzu a good time now, Lao Tzu promises to remember your ancestors for eighteen generations. ”
Hu Ruhai's heart was very painful, there were indeed secrets in the cave, but he couldn't say that if he didn't resist it now, then so many brothers would really die in vain.
Since yesterday afternoon, when I knew that the official army had attacked the mountain, I thought of this clever plan, and I knew that it was still seen through.
If he dies, he will die, but the child is innocent, as long as he dies, he can exchange for the peace of others, he is willing to pay.
But now the person in front of him is extremely vicious, and he is not ready to let anyone go.
Wu Xi also has his own considerations, for these thieves who live in the mountains all year round, there is no mercy to talk about.
Other people's children are not children, and their children's lives are more precious than other people's families, and there has never been such a reason.
There is a cause and a result, this is his own fault, and no one forced him to do it.
Hu Ruhai was reluctant to speak for a long time, and Wu Xi waved his hand to the top of the mountain.
The soldiers waving the flag were already impatient, and waved the yellow flag at the two dogs who were about to light a fire in the back mountain.
After a while, the smoke rose up, and Wu Xi watched the smoke rise higher and higher, and finally had a smile on his face.
Hu Ruhai struggled to open his eyes and looked at the swarthy smoke, for him, it was the Grim Reaper who destroyed the only glimmer of hope in his heart.
He closed his eyes in pain and roared at Wu Xi: "I'll take you in, provided you put out the fire." ”
Wu Xi finally got what he wanted, and with another wave of his hand, the red and yellow flags kept swaying in the hands of the soldiers, and after a while, the smoke began to fade, and finally disappeared.
Hu Ruhai looked at Wu Xi's harmless smile and said, "How did you do it." ”
"It's nothing, the brothers just made a fire on the mountain. ”
As he spoke, Wu Xi urged Banya to remove the nails from Hu Ruhai's hands and feet, and then asked two stronger soldiers to walk towards the cave with Hu Ruhai's arms.
Hu Ruhai is completely convinced, people just scare him, he can't resist it at all, if he regrets it now, next time he can't keep this kid real.
Wu Xi also thinks so, if this kid doesn't know the current affairs, then Wu Xi doesn't recommend suffocating all the people inside, and then wait for the smoke to clear, and then go in to withdraw the money.
It's been three hours since the last time the oil was poured on the fierce fire, and the smoke inside has dissipated, so now there is no problem going in.
Two soldiers escorted Hu Ruhai to walk in first, Bull's Eye Baby followed with more than 20 brothers, and finally Lei Bao led people to break off.
This is a miniature version of the marching route, which must be followed even in the most confined environments.
In the end, it was the soldiers who led a large number of merchants to follow, all with smiles on their faces and indescribable excitement.
The general just scared him, and knocked this person's mouth open, it seems that he is not as bright as the legend says, at least there is still a trace of attachment to family affection.
The power of the fierce fire oil is indeed not covered, the stone wall of the entire cave is burned black, Qingyang and Ergouzi have blocked the other cave entrances, so there is no light inside, and the situation can only be seen clearly with the help of the torches in the hands of the soldiers.
A soldier had already pulled a table and placed it in a shady place, and a wine vessel was placed on it, and before Wu Xi could take a seat, Xu Churen came up with someone.
In the past, Hu Ruhai made waves here, and no one could come up casually, but now Hu Ruhai is ambushed, and even this old man can't hide the excitement in his heart, and he comes when he wants to.
"It's a waste that these robbers have occupied such a good landscape for so many years. ”
Wu Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you talking about today's saint?"
Xu Churen saw that Wu Xi would be wrong, so he hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and said: "The old man brought good wine, let's just sit down and drink it, you little beasts, like crops watered with dung, are running fast one by one, and now you don't even dare to say a word." ”
Wu Xi laughed and invited Xu Churen to take a seat.
Xu Churen also deserved to be a guest, Wu Xi sat down, picked up the wine in front of him and shook it in the air, which was regarded as clinking glasses, and then raised his head and drank it all.
"Young people are frizzy, and drinking is different from others, are you laughing at the old man for being old?"
Wu Xigan laughed and said: "How dare you, XCMG is at the peak of his political career, if it weren't for the traitors controlling the government, presumably the position of Zhongshuling would no longer be a problem." ”
Xu Churen's face turned red, and after drinking the wine, he said, "Don't bury the old man, let's talk about the battle situation." ”
Xu Churen hurriedly diverted the topic, this kid spoke harshly, he really couldn't pick it up.
"The battle situation is clear at a glance, there is nothing to say, now that the soldiers have gone in to rob the money, you just have to wait for the money.
But let's say okay, as long as it's the government's money, we won't move a cent, but those that are not from the government, your old man should also raise your noble hand, or according to what we said before, what do you think?"
Xu Churen's face was unhappy, and the emotional family didn't trust him at all, so he just said it once and again.
But it's relieved to think about it, these are all people who have exchanged their lives, and in his realm, he has to be cautious, it's right to do this, but it's a little different when he says it.
"Don't worry, my Lao Xu spit and nail, and the words he said were like water spilled out, and he wouldn't take it back. ”
Wu Xi nodded seriously, it was a recognition of Xu Churen, he knew that this was Xu Churen's coming to share the merits, Wu Xi didn't want these things, and the soldiers under him didn't need them.
It was not a regular operation in the first place, and even if it was reported, it would only be punished by the higher authorities for sending troops privately, and Wu Xi resolutely did not do this kind of thankless thing.
They want money, not merit, and it is also a good choice to be a rich uncle in obscurity.
"Brother Wu, there is one thing I have to tell you, you have to be prepared. ”
Wu Xi's hand holding the wine glass stopped in the air in an instant, just paused for a moment, and then poured the wine down his throat, the comfort was self-evident.
"Say it, don't look at the kid's young age, his psychological quality is still excellent. ”
As he spoke, he put down the wine glass, poured himself a glass, glanced at Xu Churen's glass was still full, ignored it, and quietly waited for him to say something earth-shattering.
"The old man personally wrote a memo last night, which is about your experience in suppressing bandits this time, and it was sent to the capital overnight, which is to show merit for you, and you have to write down this kindness. ”
In a word, Wu Xi was in no mood, and he didn't want the ginseng in the court to come in, in this way, he would be leaked under everyone's noses, and it would be impossible to do something secretly.
Originally, Wu Xi still wanted to leave a little military merit for his unsatisfactory brothers, in case anyone has three long and two short, this military merit can come in handy.
Not now, Lao Xu's official report disrupted Wu Xi's plan to send troops this time, and he felt very uncomfortable.
But for the sake of their own future, they had to laugh and laugh with tears on their faces.
Seeing Wu Xi's true temperament, Xu Churen felt even more that he had done the right thing, and called the housekeeper to put the wine he brought on the table, poured two bowls slowly, and held it up to congratulate Wu Xi.
Wu Xi's wine is too strong, and he can't get used to it.
Wu Xi had no choice but to let it go, but there was a hint of imperceptible loneliness in his eyes.
At this moment, the first group of people who went in came out, and it was those from the caravan, carrying large and small boxes with a smile on their faces.
Just behind them was followed by the thugs under the bull's eye baby, who hurriedly ran out and knelt down on one knee in front of Wu Xi and said in a panic: "General, Xu Qingfeng has run away!"
