Zhou Xian at the bottom of the mountain knew that it was bad when he heard the gunshot, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to rush up.

Five of the soldiers who had finished firing crouched down to continue reloading, and the other five pulled the trigger on the bandit who was running at the front.

Five more bandits were shot and fell to the ground, blood spilled, and the speed of the bandits behind them was stunned.

While these bandits were hesitating, Feng Chao hurriedly ran out of the cottage, and since the soldiers' flintlock pistols had not yet been loaded, he let him run into the middle of the crowd opposite.

Feng Chao shouted at the bandits: "Kill them quickly, close the gate of the wall, there are more than a thousand people below them." ”

When the bandits heard that there were more than a thousand people below, they immediately became in a panic.

There were still a dozen bandits who reacted and rushed towards the soldiers with large knives, and as soon as they were halfway there, there was a burst of gunfire, and five of them let out a wail and fell to the ground.

The other ten men continued to rush at the soldiers, and the soldiers who had finished firing immediately loaded their bayonets and protected them in front of the five soldiers who were loading.

Soon they got into close contact with the bandits, and because they trained assassination every day when they were in Monkey Mountain Village, these five soldiers were not inferior to the dozen or so people on the opposite side.

Soon the other five people's bullets were also loaded, and they immediately opened fire on the bandits, and "bang bang" a burst of gunfire and five more people fell.

At this time, the bandits no longer had an advantage in numbers, and coupled with the fear of their companions being shot to death, they were soon stabbed to the ground by five soldiers.

At this time, more bandits rushed towards this side, and the other five soldiers also pressed their bayonets, ready to fight the bandits hand-to-hand.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and the soldiers suddenly turned happy when they heard the sound, and the soldiers under the mountain finally arrived.

As soon as the bandits were halfway through, they saw a dense crowd of people coming down the mountain, and the bandits no longer dared to come forward.

Feng Chao, who was behind the crowd, shouted: "Rush up, kill them, and they won't dare to shoot after getting close to them." ”

When these thieves heard the words of the big boss, they had no choice but to rush forward.

Before they could rush in front of the soldiers, there was a burst of gunfire, and the bandits fell to the ground in a scream.

At this time, the soldiers of another company ran towards the cottage with neat steps, and the company commander who took the lead shouted: "Put down your arms, raise your hands, surrender and don't kill!" ”

The soldiers also shouted, "Lay down your arms, raise your hands, surrender and don't kill!" ”

Feng Chao saw this scene and hurriedly ran into the cottage, and the thieves behind him also ran.

When the soldiers saw them fleeing, they immediately began to shoot, and "bang bang bang" another shot rang out.

The more than forty bandits who escaped were shot and fell to the ground, and Feng Chao's thigh was also hit by a bullet and fell to the ground wailing.

At this time, all the bandits who were ready to come out to help turned pale, and one of the bandits lowered his weapons and raised his hands, and then all the bandits put down their weapons and raised their hands.

Zhou Xian walked in front of Feng Chao, looked at Feng Chao and said: "I said, if you cooperate with us to take down the cottage, I will let you go, you want to play tricks, I hate the most untrustworthy person in my life, Xiang Commander, this person will be handed over to you, let him tell him where the gold and silver are hidden, give him a good time." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Feng Chao's shouts and begged for mercy and walked away.

Zhou Xian came to the cottage hall and sat on the main seat, surrounded by candles and torches, which lit the hall brightly.

Zhou Xian said to Sun Wu, "Let's rest here for one night, you go and arrange the soldiers, and those bandits who surrendered will be imprisoned and dealt with tomorrow." ”

After Sun Wu received the order, he walked out, and after a while, Xiang Shaoyun walked in.

said to Zhou Xian: "My lord, Feng Chao has already told me the location of the gold and silver, do you want to take a look now." ”

Zhou Xian said: "Let's go and see it tomorrow, everyone has worked hard today, rest early." ”

The next day, Zhou Xian followed Xiang Shaoyun to Feng Chao's room, only to see Xiang Shaoyun groping on a piece of masonry, and then took out the masonry.

Soon the bricks and stones on the ground were taken away, revealing an underground passage, Xiang Shaoyun picked up a torch and walked down first, and Zhou Xian also walked down.

When he came to the ground, Zhou Xian couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and saw that there were boxes of gold, silver and jewelry everywhere below, and roughly counted more than fifty boxes.

After Zhou Xianhe looked at Shaoyun for a while, he asked the soldiers to move these boxes out, and roughly calculated that there were more than 500,000 taels of silver when they moved to the hall.

Another small fortune, I didn't think that these mountain thieves were so rich, it seems that it is a good idea to let Daniel Zhang call a group to exterminate these mountain thieves, Zhou Xian thought in his heart.

Zhou Xian looked at these gold and silver jewels and said to Xiang Shaoyun: "Shaoyun, you arrange a reliable person, lead two companies of soldiers to bring these gold and silver back to Monkey Mountain Village, and the more than 100 mountain thieves who surrendered are also sent to Monkey Mountain Village to let them mine, this Niutou Mountain is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can leave a company of soldiers stationed here, and add soldiers in the future, and I found that these mountain thieves are very rich, bring a letter to Daniel Zhang and say that let him platoon two regiments of soldiers go to exterminate the mountain thieves near Datong Mansion, By the way, you can also get some gold, silver and jewelry. ”

Xiang Shaoyun promised to go down to arrange for manpower, and soon the gold, silver and jewelry boxes and the surrendered bandits were escorted back to Monkey Mountain Village by two companies of soldiers.

Two days later, Zhou Xian and others came to Shanxi Mansion without incident.

This is the capital of Shanxi, there are still a lot of people, and the streets are very lively.

Zhou Xian and the others found a relatively large inn in Shanxi Mansion and stayed there, preparing to rest for two days before setting off.

There are still horses for sale in Shanxi Prefecture, and Zhou Xian is ready to buy some horses.

After arranging the soldiers, Zhou Xian took Xiang Shaoyun and ten soldiers to the horse market.

Looking at the various horses in the horse market, it was a little dazzling, Zhou Xian didn't know much about horses.

So I found ten soldiers in the team who knew more about horses.

Zhou Xian asked ten soldiers who knew horses to look around here, and soon they found that there was a family with very good horses.

Zhou Xian and others came to the front of this horse pen together, and Zhou Xian asked the horse dealer, "How do you sell the horses here?" ”

The horse dealer said, "Childe really has a vision, I am a first-class horse, fifty taels and one." ”

Zhou Xian looked at the horses in the stall next to him, there are more than forty horses here, this is still a bit expensive, and the average horse only costs about twenty taels.

Zhou Xian said: "How about we buy all your horses, forty taels and one?" ”

The horse dealer thought for a moment and said, "These horses are not mine, I am just selling them for people, I need to ask the owner." ”

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Then you go and invite the owner, and I'll talk to him." ”

The horse dealer said yes and asked the horse dealer next to him to help watch and walked outside.

After about a stick of incense, the horse dealer came over with a middle-aged man in his thirties dressed in brocade clothes.

The middle-aged man who approached arched his hand and said, "Let a few people wait for a long time, and the contemptible Shen Chongshan is polite." ”

Zhou Xian also arched his hand and said: "Hello Boss Shen, my name is Zhou Xian, I want to buy all your horses, I don't know if it can be cheaper." ”

Shen Chongshan said with a smile: "Lord Zhou can buy all the horses at once, and the price is a little cheaper, I don't know how much Lord Zhou bids?" ”
