Liu Gou'er panted violently, and ran frantically on the path in the mountains and forests, until he couldn't run at all, and then sat on the ground, like a puppet that had been broken.

Until now, Liu Gou'er didn't know exactly what had just happened.

In a trance, I remembered that I and my companions encountered an ambush, and the crossbow arrows that rained down in the crowd reminded Liu Gou'er of his fear when he faced the barbarian cavalry for the first time!

Because of his timidity, even in the rout, Liu Gou'er is the one who is often bullied, so he is a bandit in the mountains, and he honestly walks at the back of the team and does not dare to approach others.

Liu Gouer didn't expect that because of this, he was lucky to survive.

There were still faint sounds of scolding and scolding behind him, and Liu Gou'er knew that his companions might all become prisoners.

Who are the people who ambushed these routs of their own? Could it be a bandit from another mountain?

If that's the case, the bandits in Dangyang County are too powerful!

At this time, Liu Gou'er has completely lost the idea of falling into the grass and eating meat and drinking a lot, this timid guy is now thinking about how to sneak back to his hometown!

"Hey, man, your legs are pretty sharp."

A sudden voice shocked Liu Gou'er, and he subconsciously struggled on the ground to stand up, but he tried twice in a hurry, and still sat on the ground.

"Don't toss around, be obedient and put your hands behind your back"

Liu Gou'er finally saw the owner of the voice clearly, it was a teenage boy with a smile on his face, he once again had the hope of survival in his heart, and wanted to touch the dagger hidden in his waist, but he was shocked to find that in the process of running just now, the dagger and the long knife that was originally held in the palm of his hand did not know where to throw it together.

Looking at the strange-looking crossbow in the young man's hand, Liu Gou'er resigned himself to pulling down his head, obediently putting his hands behind his back, he turned out to be a prisoner of a child, and he really didn't have much success in this life.

Wang Erhu smiled and tied the extremely fast rout in front of him with a cowhide rope, with this guy here, I'm afraid that the guys in the hunting team will be deducted a lot of points!

With the temperament of his own owner, as long as he fights with the bandits, he will definitely leave no room for life, but the gang of the hunting team let one go, and he must have been lazy during the weekday exercises!

Liu Gou'er was really like a dead dog, a young man dragged by a teenager, Liu Gou'er subconsciously decided that this young man was a big man!

Although the young man was wearing the same weird-looking outfit as everyone else, everyone surrounded him, and even when he was brought over, many people showed nervous expressions, and subconsciously pressed their hands on the handle of the knife!

"Erhu did a good job, give this kid a credit!"

The young man does not have the stability and majesty that a big man should have, and he is not as good as the housekeeper of the Zhou family who has always been cold-faced that Liu Gou'er has seen before, "Who is tired of the old buddy, digging out the bottom of this cowardice of being a deserter?" ”

Looking at the rout soldier who was carried into the woods next to him by the two members of the escort team, Zhao Hengyi mourned for him for three seconds.

Among the old soldiers, there are several guys from the scout team of the Xuanzi Battalion, who are extremely good at torturing prisoners, and in Zhao Hengyi's eyes, they are much more powerful than the torture experts in his memory!

After a short time, the two members of the escort returned, and the captives were left behind them in the woods, apparently these guys knew their host's character better than Wu Lao Liu.

"Boss, this gang of routs is not on the same line."

"The men who sent them to defect to the Drill Mountain Dragon deliberately broke up the routs on the various defensive lines and mixed them together."

"Just these 100 people, all from the six border cities."

"Just now, that kid didn't know who the big proprietor behind it was, but a few days ago, these people had been hiding in the Zhuangzi outside the Zhou family's city."

"The one who was killed by Wu Laoliu's first arrow was the person of the Zhou family, after arriving at the cottage, that person was going to be a military advisor, and all the defeated soldiers obeyed his orders."

The Zhou family?

Zhao Hengyi has some impression that the Zhou family in Dangyang County is extremely powerful, not that the Zhou family is so high-flying, nor that his family has any outstanding industries, but that this Zhou family has a large number of people, and there are three Zhuangzi outside the city.

In Zhao Hengyi's understanding, a big family like the Zhou family keeps buying land when they have money, and then exploits the tenants on their own land, and so on, and the family business is passed down from generation to generation.

Such a family has a great right to speak in the local area, and is not interested in business and trade, at most they buy some shops in the county town for rent.

The Zhou family can perfectly solve most of the problems encountered by this behemoth in Dangyang County just by virtue of its lush branches and many clan relatives, and there is no reason to spend a huge price to cultivate a group of bandits?

Or is it that the Zhou family is just a tool-like existence, and his family helped hide the rout and lead these people to fall into the grass, all of which were instructed by the master behind them?

It doesn't make sense, after all, the Zhou family has existed in Dangyang County for a very long time, and it has been several generations, and there is really a long-term master behind it, which is too terrifying!

Zhao Hengyi is more inclined to believe that the Zhou family should be cooperating with a certain big force or big man, after all, collecting the rout of the border army and sending these guys all the way to Dangyang County after they are dispersed, none of the links can be done by a rich man like the Zhou family.

However, what is the use of cultivating bandits here by big forces or big people outside Dangyang County?

The Zhou family is not the same as the original Huang Xin and Huang Master, and Master Huang, who has the nickname of weasel, is the spokesperson sent by other forces to Dangyang County to collect wealth and seize power.

Master Huang is a single person, and most of the offerings collected from the thieves in Cliff Mountain are handed over to the master behind him, plus he stirs up trouble in the county government, which is a good deal for his master with a small investment and a big return.

But the Zhou family, a big family with deep roots and leaves, even if it collects enough offerings from the bandits, it is difficult to hand over much.

There are also weapons in the hands of those defeated soldiers, all of which are configured by the officers and soldiers, and those longbows are even more amazing, even in the hands of the local garrisons, there are not many stocks!

With such a luxurious configuration, if there is no Zhao Hengyi and the existence of Yushu Bay, it would be somewhat wasteful to cultivate a group of bandits around Dangyang County.

The person who led all this behind the scenes was obviously not very clear about the situation around Dangyang County, which proved that the other party was not a native of Dangyang County at all.

Paying such a cost, and pulling the Zhou family, which is the most powerful clan in Dangyang County, what do the people behind the scenes want to plot?
