When it was close to noon, when the apologetic Qin Tian brought Xu Hao two white-flour steamed buns and a plate of pickles, the air pavilion in Xu Hao's heart collapsed.

Qin Tian was originally a martial artist, let him lead the troops into battle, maybe he was a good hand, but it was indeed a bit difficult to let him take care of the cottage, in recent years, Sunset Mountain has had a very difficult time, not to mention the original Qiyun Gang, even the five hundred soldiers brought by Jincheng also complained a lot, if it was not a last resort, Qin Tian would not agree to go down the mountain to loot.

Xu Hao pinched the white-flour steamed bun that was quite soft and took one in his hand.

"Uncle Qin took me to the warehouse to have a look. ”

Qin Tian, who looked embarrassed, didn't talk nonsense and pushed the door out directly.

Not long after walking along the path paved with bluestone slabs, Qin Tian stopped in front of a two-story small building and pointed to the small building: "Young Master Hao, this is the warehouse. ”

Xu Hao looked at it, the entire warehouse covers an area of not small, but the front and back of the building are overgrown with weeds and thorns, and there is no half of the person on duty, and what is even more ridiculous is that there is not even a lock on the warehouse door.

Pushing away the hidden door beams, the dust fell in a row, and the entire warehouse was unobstructed, except for a few broken sacks on the ground and dense cobwebs on the shelves.

Xu Hao knew that Sunset Mountain was not easy, but he didn't expect it to be so cold that it was even more ridiculous than a refugee, and the fat man Qiu still wanted to eat and drink spicy food with Xu Hao. Thinking of this, Xu Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Young Master Hao, in the past two years, it has not been easy on the mountain, and he has eaten the last meal but not the next meal. Therefore, this treasury is also useless, and most of the subordinates on the mountain are my Xiao cavalry battalion, and they can't do it, so the robbery and looting have been relying on the bald man in the past few years, and he has often gone down the mountain to fight the autumn wind to barely maintain. Qin Tian said with a slightly red white face.

"It's no wonder that Uncle Qin, the five hundred soldiers of the cavalry battalion went up the mountain and landed the herbs, and he was already very indebted to them, let alone asked them to do the bandits. Xu Hao said this in his mouth, and his heart had already been slandered: "Since you are still holding on to that layer of fig leaf, I thought that going up the Sunset Mountain was a blessing, but I didn't expect to accidentally become the leader of the beggar gang, it seems that the problem is mainly in Qin Tian, who wants to save face and suffer, so he has to find a way to do his ideological work."

"Young Master Hao, in the future, all the big and small affairs of this Sunset Mountain will be handed over to you, my old Qin is only suitable for the saddle and the horse, and the young master Hao is charging into battle, this short trivial matter in the family is indeed a little difficult for me. ”

Xu Hao had expected that Qin Tian would not panic when he said this. Because he already has an ideal candidate in mind - a monkey!

"Uncle Qin, how many people and how many war horses are there in our Sunset Mountain now?"

"The personnel, together with the original Qiyun Gang, have a total of 768 people and horses, a little more than 800 horses. Qin Yun replied without thinking.

"That means that the food and silver money that Qixia Town asked for, if you save a little food, it will only be enough to eat for a month?" Xu Hao's two eyebrows were almost tangled together.

"Young Master Hao has not yet counted the fodder for the horses and the miscellaneous expenses on the mountain. Qin Tian continued to strike at Xu Hao.

looked at Xu Hao with a sad face. Instead of having the slightest consciousness of standing up and taking responsibility, Qin Tian turned around and hurriedly said goodbye.

Looking at Qin Tian who was leaving in a hurry through the broken window of the warehouse, Xu Hao's teeth itched with hatred.

Back in the small building, when Xu Hao was depressed, the fat man angrily pushed the door in, and went straight to the table without saying hello to Xu Hao, when he saw the plate on Xu Hao's table that still had a white-flour steamed bun left. "Brother Xu, do you eat this too?"

Xu Hao glanced at the fat man, "What, do you think I'm eating delicacies from the mountains and seas? Come and ask me about the guilt? There is also a steamed bun, if you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, get out of the way, brother is annoying now." ”

The fat man hurriedly put on a flattering smile, "Brother Xu, look at what you said, don't you know who my Qiu Fat Man is? ”

Niuzi is now Xu Hao's weakness, and when it comes to Niuzi, Xu Hao has no anger.

"Hey!" Xu Hao sighed.

"Originally, I thought that when I got to the mountains, I could have good wine and meat, but now you can see it, the white flour steamed buns are pickles, and I can't eat this little thing for a few days. ”

"It's too poor and sour, I look at that posture in the morning, tsk, the feelings are strong outside, and it's rare to be a horse bandit to do this. Qiu Fatzi looked disdainful.

"Then what do you say about the horse bandits?" Xu Hao replied to the fat man without raising his head.

"Then it is needless to say, eat meat in large pieces, divide gold in large scales, come and go like the wind, gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, like them, I think it is better to ask for food. ”

"But their posture is really enough to bluff people, obediently, six or seven hundred people shouted Brother Xu Young Master, Brother Xu is mighty!" said Qiu Fatzi and gave Xu Hao a thumbs up.

"Brother Xu, what is your relationship with this gang of horse bandits? Why does everyone call you Young Master, and how does Qin Tian look like your slave?"

Xu Hao didn't hide it either, and told him the general situation.

After Qiu Fatzi listened, he slapped his thigh with a "snap", and Xu Hao felt pain when he heard it.

The fat man bared his teeth, probably a little heavy, "I have long known that Brother Xu is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect it to be the young master of Xu Dutong of the Jincheng Border Army, no wonder this Sunset Mountain is mixed into such a miserable appearance, to be honest, Brother Xu, don't be angry, just Commander Qin's personality and temper are really not suitable for being that horse bandit, this can't rob that can't be robbed and that can't be stolen, it's a miracle that Sunset Mountain hasn't fallen so far." ”

"Fatty, if you are asked to be the leader of this gang now, what are you going to do?" Xu Hao asked casually.

"Rob, is it possible to wait for starvation to death?"

"Who are you robbing? refugees, villagers, or officials?"

The fat man was hesitant and speechless for a while.

After a long time, he held back a sentence, "Robbers, so many of us go sideways to any cottage." ”

"Slap" is another slap, but this time it was Xu Hao who took it, but it was Qiu Fatzi's thigh that was shot.

"Shh

"Brother Xu" The fat man looked resentful.

"Fat man, wake up the dreamer with a word, yes, we can't do anything to others, what are we being polite to other bandits!" Xu Hao was very excited.

"Hehe, really?" the fat man touched the back of his head innocently.

"Okay, let's go find Qin Tian now!" After speaking, Xu Hao pulled the fat man out of the small building, and before leaving, the fat man did not forget to pinch a steamed bun on the table in his hand.

Qin Tian's residence is not particular, the first of the rows of low bungalows in the middle of the village is his residence, and the rest of the bungalows are inhabited by the five hundred soldiers brought by Qin Tian.

The two easily found Qin Tian, and Xu Hao directly explained his intentions.

"It's not that I haven't thought about this, there are mainly two concerns, the first is that we can't wipe off face, we are already under the banner of the Cloud Riding Gang, and the dozen or so large and small horse bandits around us have a little friendship with Hong Bald, and the second point is also the main point" Speaking of this, Qin Tian paused and glanced at Qiu Fatzi.

Qiu Fatzi is also interested, and he also knows that some words are not suitable for him to listen to, and he just wanted to go out, but was pulled by Xu Hao.

"Uncle Qin, Fat Qiu is not an outsider, you don't have to avoid him if you have anything to say in the future!"

The fat man and Qin Tian glanced at Xu Hao at the same time. The former is grateful, the latter is relieved.

Qin Tian nodded and continued: "The second point is mainly that I am afraid that the movement will be too big and cause the imperial court, to be precise, I am afraid of attracting Liu Gao's attention. Our current identity is a horse bandit, if the momentum is too great, it will inevitably attract the attention of the hidden forces in the court, then a will to suppress the bandits and the people will make us doomed. ”

It can't be said that Qin Tian's concerns are wrong, after all, there are still five hundred robes he brought on the mountain. Xu Hao frowned and thought for a long time.

"Instead of shrinking back on the mountain, it is better to let go of your hands and feet on the mountain, and the border war is tight, even if someone in the court secretly pampers it, there should be no time to take care of him, even if Liu Gao really collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, Humen has General Mu Lao, and the power of the Zhou State cannot be extended to our Sunset Mountain for the time being. Xu Hao finally analyzed.

Qin Tian bowed his head slightly as he listened, and heard the last two eyes burst out.

"Since Young Master Hao said so, we can't make Young Master Hao underestimate me Qin Tian, but in order to avoid embarrassing Hong Bald, we have to change the flag, so it's better to use Sunset Mountain, what does Young Master Hao think?"

"Okay, then it's decided! Uncle Qin, give the brothers a good meal tonight, and we will set off tomorrow when the sky is bright, I am not familiar with this place, and it is up to Uncle Qin to decide which cottage to attack first. ”

"Well, I'll take someone down the mountain to Qixia Town to buy some wine and meat to eat! I may not have tasted meat for a long time, hahahaha!" Qin Tian laughed heartily, the days when he was afraid of wolves and tigers on this sunset mountain had indeed suppressed this man for too long.

"Niuzi, Brother Xu promised you that he would let you have meat to eat in the future. Xu Hao looked at the floating clouds in the distance in the sky, and said silently in his heart.
