Chapter Forty-Three: A Small Task to Suppress Bandits?

"Kong Zhu, Brother Kong, Brother Kong! I can be regarded as finding you! Do me a favor?"

Kong Zhu was stopped by Zheng Xi on the way back to the room.

"What's the matter?" Kong Yu couldn't help asking, he was carrying two servings of Gongyang soup in his hand, which were just going back to the room to forge bones.

Zheng Xi looked tired, his face was gray and dirty, his hair was scattered and stained with broken leaves, and his official uniform also had many traces of scratching, looking quite embarrassed.

"Alas~" Zheng Xi sighed and sat down on the steps on the side without any scruples.

"This matter started eight days ago, Lord Xing gave me a small task to suppress bandits, and there were two guys who forged bones and led a group of more than 50 mountain bandits to kidnap women. ”

Normally, in Nanfeng County, the Yamen's Capture Kuai and others only deal with cases below the internal forging, and the cases with the participation of internal forging are handed over to the six gates.

This is also to ensure the safety of the fast catchers, after all, the fast catchers are mostly said to be the strength of the peak of external forging, even if they can solve the case, they are easy to be killed in the process of chasing internal forging.

"I went with twenty trappers and killed some of the bandits, but then they all hid in the mountains, and had no fixed position at all, and they kept going around in circles with me, and they have not been able to catch them yet. ”

"The duration of the mission is fifteen days, and in this case, it would be difficult for me to complete it on my own. So now I want to ask Brother Kong for help and catch those bandits. ”

After that, Zheng Xi looked at Kong Zhu expectantly.

When Kong Yu joined the Six Doors at the beginning, he also cooperated with Zheng Xi, and Zheng Xi naturally knew his ability.

"It's... All right. Kong Yu agreed after a little hesitation, thinking that it was better to go out for a walk.

He had been practicing the Bone Forging Method for nearly a month, except for the bones on his head that had not yet been tempered, everything else had been hardened once, and he was almost numb to the pain of forging bones every day.

The harvest is naturally there, I feel that my body is more powerful, my muscles seem to have strengthened a little, and my strength has increased by about three or five hundred catties.

The changes in other aspects are not obvious, and I can't see anything for the time being, after all, the time for him to forge bones is still short.

Kong Yu promised Zheng Xi to help, just to relax and start forging his skull when he was ready to return.

As you can imagine, the pain caused by the hardening of the skull is definitely greater than that of any other part.

Seeing that Kong Yu was willing to help him, Zheng Xi also breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again and again.

Then he didn't change his clothes, only changed an official horse at the six gates, and hurried out of the city with Kong Yu.

They set out near noon, and it was only in the afternoon of the next day that the two of them arrived at a town on horseback.

The town is just a small town, the geographical location is relatively remote, behind the mountains is the mountain, walk hundreds of miles to get to the official road, and its prosperity is not even as good as some large villages.

At the entrance of the town, two catchers were sitting on the stones and watching, and saw Kong and the two hurriedly meet them.

"Meet the two adults!" the two catchers saluted respectfully, and the two of them nodded to them and dismounted.

"Gather my brothers, and go into the mountains again! I invited a master this time. Zheng Xi said to the two catchers.

The two catchers went in to summon the other catchers, and Kong caught some things like "I'm tired, I can't catch anyone anyway." "Tossing and turning, our group is the most pitiful. Complaints.

Kong Zhu originally wanted to tell Zheng Xi that it would be enough for the two of them to enter the mountain, but he didn't expect to hear these complaints about catching fast, and suddenly felt that it was better for everyone to go together.

In the mountains and forests, stepping on thick fallen leaves, the catchers walked weakly.

Zheng Xi walked beside Kong Zhu, who was not in a hurry and walked slowly, but listened carefully to other abnormal sounds in the mountains and forests.

By dusk, it was already a little dark in the mountains and forests, and Kong Yu noticed other footsteps and conversations.

And those people didn't know that they had been exposed, and they were still talking as they went.

Kong Zhu smiled lightly, cast the Blood Shadow Soul Chaser and jumped out, jumped twice and disappeared in front of the others.

It didn't take long for Kong Yu to see two people, two men in tattered clothes, both with unshaven beards, their hair glued together as if they hadn't been washed for a long time, and each with some prey.

“... Before... How good, just grab some small caravans and small villages, and people don't kill much, and they can be regarded as having a good time. Now that the second master of the big family has become a master of internal forging, our situation is getting worse and worse, the person who came with the yamen to catch the fast and killed several of our brothers in the past few days, I heard that it is six doors!"

"Who says it's not, there's another very strange thing, the second boss of the big family kidnapped so many women?

The two of them kept complaining, and a voice suddenly came to their ears.

"Where are your big bosses and second masters now?"

This voice suddenly appeared behind them, and the two of them trembled, and hurriedly jumped back, showing their weapons.

And when they saw Kong Zhu wearing the official uniform of the six doors, they glanced at each other, threw the things on their bodies, turned around and ran.

As soon as they took two steps, the two bandits felt their necks tighten, as if they were caught by iron tongs, and they grabbed them by the necks with a strong force and lifted them off the ground.

"My lord spares his life!

The two mountain bandits were afraid that Kong would kill them, so they immediately shouted.

After meeting with Zheng Xi and those hunters, under the guidance of these two mountain bandits, they headed towards the hiding place of the mountain bandits.

When it was dark, a very hidden cave came into view, and everyone could vaguely see that there were mountain bandits guarding the cave.

"Up!"

Zheng Xi snorted and took the lead in rushing out, and the catchers were not cowardly, they followed closely with knives, and Kong Yu did not participate.

To deal with these mountain bandits, Zheng Xi basically stabbed one by one, and even the big boss was cut off by him with two knives.

Zheng Xi's better at it is said to be the twelve-way silk hand, but his knife skills are also good.

It's just tea time, and the mountain bandits inside and outside the cave are all awarded.

"Say, what about the women you have taken captive?" The hunters searched the entire cave, but they found no women who had been taken captive by the bandits.

The problem of the mountain bandits needs to be solved, and the women who have been taken away must also be saved.

The big boss was covered with cold sweat on his face, but he looked at Zheng Xi and sneered, but he didn't speak.

"Whoever tells me the news about those women will be exempted from the death penalty, or he will cut you down in a minute!"

Zheng Xi shouted coldly at the mountain bandits, and then pulled out his waist knife.

"My lord, I know that once I heard the big boss and the second master talk about sending women to Ivory Mountain, and there was someone there to answer them. And early this morning, the second master took three more women. ”
