Wu Zhi's voice fell, and the guards next to him immediately took out their swords, with a posture that they would be unsheathed at any time.

When those people saw it, their faces changed greatly.

They know they've been threatened, and in this situation, there's no choice!

"We say! We say it all! ”

The man hurriedly said: "Our king is now in the southern Xinjiang and can't rush over, so let's lurk here first, waiting for the opportunity to move, I never expected to show my stuffing halfway and meet you." ”

"I see."

Wu Zhi nodded.

"Now, I'm giving you one last chance, do you want to tell us the truth?"

He smiled and his eyes narrowed, but he was not angry.

"We are really acting on orders, and please raise your noble hand and forgive us once!"

The leading bandit fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Wu Zhi didn't, and immediately answered him, but was silent for a long time, and said with a smile.

"In this case, you can also choose to wait for the brother behind you to join my command, and I can guarantee that your life is absolutely safe."

"However, our king said, let us return to southern Xinjiang immediately after we finish our work!"

"So what?"

"We can't betray the King!"

Wu Zhi snorted coldly: "You are the king's people, so naturally you should obey the king's orders, but you can choose not to do it, because, I can let you understand what it means to die without a place to be buried!" ”

When Wu Zhi said this, his tone was calm and unwavering.

But no one dared to take what he said as a joke, they knew that Wu Zhi would definitely do what he said!

"We are willing to take refuge in you, and we only hope that the general will spare our lives."

"Very good, you can go, go to the barracks to report by yourself, if anyone escapes, you will bear the consequences."

Wu Zhi said lightly.

"General Xie's grace not to kill!"

Several thieves hurriedly said gratefully.

Wu Zhi waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

"General, aren't you afraid that they will escape?"

The guard behind him asked.

Wu Zhi turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you think these guys dare to escape?" ”

"But they're bandits after all, in case ......"

"Don't worry, I have my own number."

"Oh......"

The guard nodded, didn't say anything more, followed behind Wu Zhi, and walked towards the outside of the cottage.

The bandits knelt down one after another, sending Wu Zhi and a group of guards away.

When Wu Zhi and the others just walked to the gate of the village, suddenly, a group of soldiers rode horses and ran from a distance.

The leader was sturdy, with black hair, a dark face, and a strong anger between his eyebrows.

"General Wu, we arrested a few little minions, and we wanted to bring them to you for interrogation, but they bit their tongues and committed suicide just now."

When Wu Zhi heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

They didn't buy anyone before they came, so they couldn't have caught anyone, right......

Those bandits' allies?

"Take me to see it."

"Yes!"

Wu Zhi followed the soldier and came to a relatively flat meadow.

Then I saw that there were several corpses lying on it, which were the bandits who had committed suicide just now, and the bandits who led the way.

Seeing these corpses, Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

It's hard not to think about it when you kill yourself just after being caught.

Could it be that they carried too many secrets on them, and they were afraid that they would reveal the true information when they were tortured, so they hanged themselves in advance?

This possibility does exist, and it is very large.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi looked at the soldier who led the way, and said in a deep voice, "How did you catch these people?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly replied, "General Hui, when his subordinates caught them, they happened to be sleeping in the cave, so they would easily succeed." ”

After listening to the soldier's words, Wu Zhi suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

He knew that the target of these bandits was him, but because of his unclear identity, he didn't dare to do it for the time being.

But as long as he finds the people around him, then this matter will be much easier.

But now you should stand still, it's the best policy!

After thinking about it, Wu Zhi turned around, looked at the guards on the side, and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army is on alert, no one is allowed to act without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

"Yes."

A group of guards responded in unison and quickly dispersed.

Seeing that the guards had left, Wu Zhi looked at the soldiers beside him who were leading the way, and said in a deep voice: "You guys get up, I won't hold you accountable for your rudeness just now, and now I will personally inspect the corpse." ”

"Yes."

The soldiers stood up and waited for orders.

Wu Zhi's speed of action is also very fast.

He half-squatted on the ground, turned over and examined the corpses of the mountain bandits, and finally found the clues.

These guys are different from ordinary mountain bandits, they are relatively delicately dressed, and they even have valuable objects on their bodies, which is not at all like they are forced to make a living......

Could it be that it was sent by the imperial court?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi's heart tightened slightly, looked at the soldiers beside him, and shouted: "Have you ever seen someone wearing armor and riding a horse? ”

Hearing this, several soldiers hurriedly shook their heads.

Wu Zhi's expression eased slightly.

This news should not have leaked out.

"Take the person back and examine them carefully."

Wu Zhi stood up and waved at the soldiers, motioning for them to take them away.

Several soldiers received the order and hurriedly lifted the man up and escorted him back.

At this juncture, there was a call not far behind Wu Zhi, and when he looked back, he found that it was none other than his younger brother Wu Song, who trotted all the way over.

Wu Song came to Wu Zhi's side, gasped and said, "Brother, just now a group of soldiers and horses arrived here, and I and those guys were about to escape, but we were caught and almost killed. ”

When Wu Zhi heard this, a solemnity flashed on his face.

No wonder he felt that these people were different from other bandits.

These guys turned out to be sent by the imperial court!

"Did those people react in any way?" Wu Zhi asked in a deep voice.

"No response." Wu Song replied.

Wu Zhi nodded, "I understand, you go back first, and I'll go to you later." ”

Hearing this, Wu Song nodded, turned around and ran into the distance, looking at his appearance, he seemed to be very worried, I don't know whether he was worried about himself or Wu Zhi.

"You guys take someone to investigate first, and make sure to find out if the clothes on these guys are true."

Wu Zhi commanded.

"Yes."

Several soldiers hurriedly received the order, not daring to slack off.

On Wu Zhi's side, he quickened his pace and caught up with Wu Song, and the two brothers walked side by side.

The journey was fairly smooth.

At this time, Wu Zhi asked, "Wu Song, how did you meet them?" ”
