Chapter 52: The Murderous Nature of the Owner
Zhao Hengyi, who led people all the way, saw the sky-high fire outside the village and heard the huge noise!
Ignoring the panting, the men who rushed for dozens of miles in a row, and couldn't straighten up their waists, rushed into the village with their winding crossbows and supporting each other.
Thinking that they had fallen into a trap, the leaderless bandits were still hesitating, but when dozens of crossbow arrows flew behind them, they shot down one in an instant, and the remaining bandits no longer had any doubts, threw away their blades one by one, and knelt on the ground crying for mercy!
The villagers with torches erupted in loud cheers, and after a night of fear, the hunting party and the escort finally rushed back!
However, Song Sansong, the housekeeper who presided over everything, was surprised, according to his estimates, even if Zhao Hengyi rushed to the aid of Yushuwan immediately after receiving the news, and wanted to bring people back, at least he had to wait until dawn!
The two slaves behind Song San also exchanged surprised glances with each other, and secretly wondered in their hearts, if it was themselves and their brothers, would they be able to rush back to Elm Bay from Cliff Mountain overnight in such a short time?
The look of surprise on Steward Song's face flashed away, and in a blink of an eye, his amiable signature face was revealed, beckoning the village chief to lead the villagers to tie up the bandits who were kneeling on the ground and surrendering, and he strode towards Zhao Hengyi, who was bent over and panting.
"Childe is really a divine soldier, the old slave has opened his eyes this time!"
Waving his hand and refusing Steward Song's support, Zhao Hengyi sat on the ground without any image, coughed for a long time, and gasped for breath before saying, "Thank you Steward Song this time!" ”
The communication between smart people is very simple, and based on this sentence alone, Song San knew that Zhao Hengyi had guessed the cause and effect.
In the afternoon, the two people who were sent back to the village by Zhao Hengyi to report the news found the traces of Liu Shuang and the bandits, and judged that Liu Shuang was very likely to take the bandits to loot Yushuwan, so they parted ways at that time.
One returned to Cliff Mountain to report the news, and the other rushed back to the village to warn of the bandits.
In the face of the bandits, the hunting party and the escort team have gone completely in Elm Bay, which seems to be powerless.
Even the village chief and a group of elders wanted to take the villagers to hide in Daqingshan in advance.
But Song San, who stayed in the village and waited for news, did not agree.
Now this Elm Bay is the foundation of Zhao Hengyi, according to the consistent urine nature of the bandits, after discovering that the people in the village are gone, in addition to snatching everything that can be robbed, they will inevitably set fire to the entire village!
Unlike Xing Xiaorong, Song San clearly knew how difficult it was for Zhao Hengyi to build this foundation, and after leaving Yushu Bay, even if Zhao Hengyi could take the villagers to start over, it would inevitably waste a lot of time.
Zhao Hengyi can wait, the villagers can wait, but he Song San can't wait, and his own uncle can't wait!
Song San has been operating in Dangyang County for several years, and he has been hiding and not making a splash, in order to make a splash if he doesn't make a sound!
Only before everyone and all the forces react, help your uncle to gain a firm foothold in Dangyang County and thoroughly manage the monolithic foundation, so that your uncle can really face any wind and rain, and have a place to recuperate!
The appearance of Zhao Hengyi made Song San see an opportunity, an opportunity to complete the goals he had been thinking about over the years!
Now, the means mastered by Song San have been activated one by one, and they are completely placed in front of people from all walks of life, and if Zhao Hengyi, who he relied on, is destroyed, then all Song San's previous actions have become useless, and he has exposed his preparations over the years for no reason!
No matter what, Song San has to fight.
Of course, this Song steward is not brainlessly dragging the villagers to death, with his observation of Zhao Hengyi, he has long understood that this Zhao Gongzi is an extremely protective guy!
Once the casualties are too great in the process of dealing with the bandits, I am afraid that in the future, they will be separated from that Zhao Gongzi, or even part ways!
Therefore, before Steward Song made the decision to ambush the bandits, he also carefully inquired about Xiao Shanzi, who came back to report the news, and had a rough judgment on the battle of the bandits.
In Steward Song's opinion, even if the hunting party and the guards all left the village, Elm Bay was not without resistance!
There are not many strong men in the village, especially in the past few months, under the leadership of Zhao Hengyi and Zhao Dongjia, these men can eat their stomachs, and their spirit and physique far exceed those of ordinary villages.
Even judging by Song San's gaze, those so-called bandits, in addition to being ruthless and seeing blood, may not be as good as the ordinary villagers in Yushuwan who have eaten enough!
It was based on these considerations that Song San dared to set up ambushes on both sides of the road into the village, and judging from the results, this Song steward can also be called like a god!
Even if Zhao Hengyi didn't succeed in rushing back with people at the last moment, Song San's arrangement alone would be enough to take down the gang of bandits in Erdaogou!
In the crowd, Zhang Daniu, who was carrying a hammer, muttered, and led a group of apprentices to tie up all the thieves who surrendered.
Originally, Zhang Daniu planned to kill the Quartet tonight, but he boasted that he had seen the mountain of corpses and blood above the battle array, and this blacksmith was not afraid of the bandits, and even looked down on it!
In Zhang Daniu's imagination, tonight he will inevitably carry a hammer into the group of bandits, hammer a child, and become famous today!
It's a pity that his own master is too powerful, and he rushed back with someone at an important juncture, which made the scene of killing people that Steward Song had discussed with him unable to go down!
As an apprentice, Zhang Daniu naturally didn't dare to blame his master, so he could only sprinkle his anger on those bandits who surrendered.
Punches and kicks were not interesting except for making these cowardly soft eggs let out a few miserable howls, and after giving the last thief a few slaps, Zhang Daniu lost interest.
With the master, in the future, I will still be honest in iron, in this life, we are a blacksmith!
Running all the way for dozens of miles, even if the people of the hunting team and the escort team practice cross-country with weights every day, but in the case of rushing away, the body cannot hold on.
Especially the big guy has just had dinner, and along the way, except for Wang Erhu, a different kid, everyone, including Zhao Hengyi, vomited more than once.
Even so, when the village chief and a group of elders were about to order someone to guard the bound bandits, Zhao Hengyi still struggled to stand up.
"Don't be too busy locking up, big tiger, lead people to pry their mouths open for me one by one!"
Seeing Zhao Hengyi speak, the exhausted Wang Dahu led a few veterans of the escort team to drag the bandits into the woods outside the village.
Wang Dahu, who is now an experienced and qualified guard, knows very well what his owner means, and after asking all the news he can ask, none of these thieves are allowed to stay!
The murderous nature of his own owner is really not ordinary!
