Chapter 35: Capture the thief and capture the king first

Zhu Gui wanted to refuse, but when he thought that the other party's marksmanship was better than his own, he didn't know who was protecting whom, so he agreed.

"That's ......" Xu Miaoqing looked like she wanted to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Zhu Gui asked.

Xu Miaoqing frowned slightly, turned to leave, and muttered 'fool'.

Early the next morning, Zhu Gui left the palace with ten personal soldiers.

However, he was accompanied by some businessmen and officials from Datong Province.

They are all entourages this time, and they want to take the opportunity to get closer to the acting king.

Halfway through, I finally met people from four states and seven counties, led by Qi Tai.

"I've seen the prince." Qi Tai was very humble.

"Patriarch Qi is willing to respond to the policy of the Acting Palace, it is to set an example, so you don't have to be polite, let's go."

In this way, the two parties converged into one place, close to a hundred people.

After another hour, they finally came to Hujian Gorge.

Zhu Gui looked forward on his horse, and the mountains on both sides were steep, and he didn't know where to go.

"Good mountain."

Zhu Gui said with emotion.

"Lord Wang, after passing through this canyon, you will arrive at the hunting ground, which is the most famous hunting ground in Wuzhou Mountain in Shanxi."

Qi Tai walked over and said.

Zhu Gui nodded.

……

Just when the two were chatting under the Hujian Gorge.

The horse bandits above the mountain streams on both sides could not sit still.

The second master said to Scarface: "Helper, why haven't they come in yet?" We've been waiting here for a long time. ”

"Did the little prince sense the danger?"

"Hmph, what if he notices? We brought more than 200 brothers this time, even if the following are all local garrisons, they are not our opponents, don't wait, up. ”

Scarface was originally a decisive person, and the big fish in front of him was in front of him, and he didn't quite go according to plan.

The horse bandits on the mountain streams on both sides saw the signal and immediately roared down.

Zhu Gui, who was at the mouth of the gorge, felt the ground shake and immediately changed his face.

In fact, according to the original plan, he was going to wait for the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Mansion and Xu Yingxu to lead the team to arrive at the predetermined position, and then enter the Hujian Gorge.

However, he did not receive the signal for a long time, so he delayed the time.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that these horse bandits were so bold and rushed out.

Qi Tai on the side was also anxious.

"Your Highness, it seems that the horse bandits are coming, and they can only be offended for a while."

Zhu Gui nodded.

With just the ten personal soldiers he brought this time, even if he emptied the magazine, he couldn't save the situation, and it seemed that he could only face the horse bandits.

Soon, the horse bandits had rushed to the bottom of the hill and began to shout around the crowd.

It is a means of deterring the enemy.

Sure enough, in addition to Zhu Gui's personal soldiers, even the squires who colluded with the horse bandits were scared.

The three leaders of the horse bandits also walked out in the crowd.

Scarface ignores the squires and merchants who are on their knees begging for mercy.

Instead, he walked directly in front of Zhu Gui and looked at him carefully.

"This is the Acting King? So small? ”

He said it to Qi Tai, who was standing next to Zhu Gui.

Before Qi Tai could speak, he heard Zhu Gui say, "You are the bandit leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, Scar?" ”

Scar's face froze, and he looked back at his men.

"Little prince, haven't you noticed what the situation is now? It was the king who controlled the situation, and you are now my prisoner, not a prince. ”

After he finished speaking, two horse bandits rushed over next to him, and they were about to pull Zhu Gui off his horse.

But Zhu Gui suddenly dropped two pistols from his sleeve.

Only listen to the sound of 'pop' and 'pop' twice.

The two bandits fell off their horses in disbelief.

Scarface was so frightened that he retreated again and again, but how could Zhu Gui just let him go?

He raised his two guns directly at Scar, and then shot again.

The surrounding bandits were frightened and froze in place.

But when the smoke cleared, Scar wasn't dead, but was crushed under the dead horse, struggling to crawl out.

The horse bandits around immediately reacted and were about to rush over to save Scar.

However, Zhu Gui's personal soldiers reacted faster and directly killed the few horse bandits closest to Zhu Gui.

The scene fell silent in an instant.

There were obviously more than 200 horse bandits, but they looked at a loss at this time.

Scar didn't struggle anymore, and he lay on the ground and looked at Zhu Gui.

"I really didn't expect the little prince to have such a sharp weapon, this time I have a scar, if you want to kill it, you will listen to it."

Zhu Gui's own soldiers came to his side and guarded the surroundings.

Two of them also dragged Scar out from under the dead horse and tied it up.

"You horse bandits usually make a living by plundering?" Zhu Gui glanced at the horse bandits around him.

"Or else?" Scar asked with a wry laugh.

"Are you familiar with all the bandits and gangs in Shanxi?"

Zhu Gui asked again.

"Almost, those who eat our bowl of rice always have to deal with each other."

Scar didn't know that the little prince didn't kill him, but asked him what he was doing with these things.

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "If it hadn't happened today, would you have been a horse bandit in the future?" ”

The scar flickered for a moment, and then reacted, this little prince seems to want to Zhao'an himself? This is an opportunity.

He immediately said: "If you can't survive, the grass people don't want to do this, if the little prince can ignore the past suspicions and give him food, the grass people are willing to put their lives in the hands of the prince." ”

Qi Tai on the side immediately reacted.

"Lord Wang, you have to think carefully, these are horse bandits, and their words can't be trusted."

When Scar heard this, he scolded: "Lord Wang, he is going to collude with me to murder you, and many people here have also participated." ”

When those squires heard this, they ran to Zhu Gui and said, "Lord Wang, we are all coerced by Qi Tai, if we don't agree, he will definitely deal with us." ”

At this time, Xu Yingxu arrived with someone.

He was delayed a lot of time on the road because of some things, and he was worried that something would happen, but as soon as he came, he saw this situation.

"Lord Wang, what's the situation?"

Seeing that Zhu Gui and ten personal soldiers had restrained more than 200 ferocious horse bandits, he was a little incredulous.

"As you can see, the thief captures the king first, but this king thinks that these horse bandits are still of other use."

Zhu Gui said lightly.

"He uses? Their plot to kill the vassal king is no different from rebellion, and the general will not be able to agree, come and arrest these people. ”

Xu Yingxu waved his hand, and the garrison of the guard post he brought rushed forward.

"Wait a minute."

Zhu Gui raised his pistol and fired a shot.

The surrounding soldiers immediately stopped and looked this way.

Zhu Gui looked at Xu Yingxu, who had a serious face.

"Killing these horse bandits is equivalent to cutting off the back road of other people who are suffering from their lives, and there will only be trouble in the future."
