Qu Fan stood in place for a long, long time, as if thinking.

Liu Xiong, who was running in the distance, was looking here, and he didn't dare to get closer, because he didn't dare to approach, he was frightened by the combat power of Qu Fan's last sword to kill Wu Fei, who had cultivated in the early stage of the secret realm, and was shocked, he thought that such a person was a demonic existence, which made him afraid and frightened to the bones.

Suddenly, both of them heard faint shouts at the same time.

"Brother Qu, Brother Qu!"

It turned out to be Zhang Li, and the two saw Zhang Li running towards him, and his figure was moving quickly from Qu Fan a mile away.

Soon, Zhang Li arrived at Liu Xiong's side, ignored him, and walked directly to Qu Fan's side.

And Liu Xiong followed by himself.

Qu Fan waited for Zhang Li to approach and asked, "Brother Zhang, why did you run back again?".

Zhang Li said: "I'm worried that something will happen to you, but now it seems to be fine." ”

Zhang Li smiled.

When Zhang Li asked Qu Fan to run with the women and children of Hejia Village, he clearly knew in his heart that the situation was very difficult, and when he urged the women and children of Hejia Village to run for a distance, everyone stopped to rest, thinking in their hearts, leaving Qu Fan alone to deal with the bandits, he was very unhappy, worried that something would happen to Qu Fan, so he said to the women and children of Hejia Village, let them continue to run forward on the road when they came and went, and go to Zhangjia Village to find the old chief of the village, and the old chief will arrange everything for them. And I have to go back and check the situation. When the women and children of Hejia Village saw that he was very persistent, they stopped persuading him and let him go.

"By the way, Brother Qu, we just walked not far, why did you get into a fight with a bandit?" Although Zhang Li knew in his heart that the situation was not good at that time, he didn't know much about it, so he asked Qu Fan.

"Alas!" Qu Fan sighed and smiled bitterly, and said: "Blame me for being soft-hearted at the time, and didn't kill the remaining thieves as soon as possible, resulting in one of the thieves actually breaking through the realm, and almost killing myself." ”

"And this kind of thing!" Zhang Li was surprised.

"Fortunately, at a very critical moment, my swordsmanship made a breakthrough and killed the bandit. Qu Fan remembered that moment, and still had palpitations in his heart.

"So when you have the ability to kill the enemy, you must not be soft, otherwise you are very likely to put yourself in danger!" Qu Fan had a deep understanding and said to Zhang Li.

Zhang Li agreed: "There is a good saying, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. ”

After a conversation between the two, Qu Fan asked Liu Xiong to continue to lead the way and go back to Fengzhai to rescue the abducted women and children from the remaining villages.

Under the leadership of Liu Xiong, after walking for more than two hours, he came to a place less than 100 meters away from the gate of Huifeng Village.

In fact, the open place where Qu Fan killed the bandits was not far from Huifengzhai, and it was less than 20 miles away.

Huifeng Zhai door is made of wood, several are simple, only mouth, no door, there is a very old plaque hanging above the door, which is engraved with three big characters of "Huifeng Village".

At this time, there were two bandits walking back and forth leisurely in front of the gate of the wall. Seeing someone approaching this direction, the two stopped walking and went to check.

When the two approached, they saw that it was Liu Xiong, and the slightly taller thief breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Two knives Liu Xiong, it turned out to be you, and the old man was blind and nervous." "Don't look at the two of them dangling at the gate of the village, they are actually very vigilant. This is before their leader Liu Kui went out to ransack the village, he specially explained that they must not relax in guarding the village, and they must be vigilant at any time, especially the personnel who take turns to patrol and guard, so they dare not take it to heart.

And the slightly shorter bandit, who was more delicate, saw that Liu Xiong had brought two strangers to the village, so he asked: "Liu Xiong, why are you the only one who came back, these two look at each other?"

Liu Xiong was about to think of a suitable reason to convince him, but unexpectedly, two blood flashes flashed, splashing his face, and he was stunned for a moment.

The two thieves didn't have time to shout, but they saw the two of them clutching their necks, and their eyes fell in horror.

"Hurry up and take us to the place where the women and children are being held, and what to do. Qu Fan didn't want to talk nonsense with these two bandits, so he killed them with a straight sword.

"I'm a damn, ferocious, demon!" At this time, Liu Xiong came to his senses, wiped the hot blood on his face, and secretly screamed in his heart. Hurriedly didn't dare to delay, and led Qu Fan forward.

Passing through the front yard of the cottage, the three of them entered the Juhan Hall in Huifeng Village.

Juhantang is a place where the thieves and bandits of Huifeng Village discuss and have dinner.

At this time, the long wooden tables on both sides of the Juhan Hall were full of wine and meat, and more than 30 thieves were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, shouting and punching to drink and eat meat, and they were very happy, and they did not notice the arrival of Qu Fan and the three people.

Liu Xiong saw Qu Fan draw his sword and move forward quickly, and began to mourn for this group of people in his heart, turned around and didn't dare to look at the next picture, and then he only heard the chaotic cries, the cracking sound of the wine glass smashing, and the strong smell of blood.

After about a moment's effort, more than thirty bandits in Juhan Hall had been killed by Qu Fan.

"I hope you will be good people in the next life!" Qu Fan said as he wiped the last drop of scarlet blood from the bladeless sword's body on the clothes of a bandit lying in a pool of blood.

When Liu Xiong heard his words, he felt that this was a voice from the abyss of hell, which could take his life at any time.

For a moment, his body was trembling, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he felt that it was difficult to take a step.

"Liu Xiong, come and see, are all the thieves in the village here?" Qu Fan wanted Liu Xiong to confirm whether there were other bandits, and if so, they would be dealt with first, so as not to cause any trouble when saving people.

Liu Xiong moved his feet with difficulty, walked into the center of the Juhan Hall, and began to silently count and identify the number and faces of the bandits lying on the ground.

After a short while, I only heard Liu Xiong sigh.

Qu Fan asked, "Are there any other bandits here?"

Liu Xiong said: "Yes, except for one person who is not here, the rest of the guards are here?"

Qu Fan said: "Which one is not there?"

Liu Xiong replied: "Three leaders, Zhou Yong is not here. Immediately, he wondered: "The three leaders usually like to be lively, and they are never absent when everyone gets together to drink and eat meat, so why is he absent today?"

Qu Fan let out an "oh" and said, "Then where does Zhou Yong usually haunt on weekdays?"

"Normally, when I am with everyone, I will practice and sleep in a secret room in a cave in the mountain behind the village, and it may be that I go to the mountain behind the mountain to hunt game. Liu Xiong thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that he is most likely to appear in this Juhan Hall, so I wonder why he is not here?"

"By the way, how did I forget this stubble!" Liu Xiong seemed to think of something, patted his thigh and said: "When my cousin Liu Xiong came out of the village, he specially instructed him to take good care of the women and children who were taken captive. ”

In addition, Liu Xiong felt that it was extremely unlikely that the three leaders would go to the back mountains to hunt game.

Zhang Li, who was on the side, interjected: "According to what you say, the women and children of several villages are imprisoned in caves in the back mountains. ”

"Yes," Liu Xiong replied, "the space in the cave is very large, and my cousin Liu Xiong led the people to build a large cell in it, which was used to hold some of the robbed 'piglets', and now the women and children. ”

Zhang Li asked puzzledly, "What is a piglet?"

Liu Xiong explained: "Piglets are the black words in our industry, that is, some rich and noble children who have been robbed, and they are specially used to extort money, and after receiving the money, we will generally let these piglets go." ”

"That's a hostage!" Qu Fan answered.

"Yes!" Liu Xiong echoed with a smile: "However, the third leader, Zhou Yong, liked the cave very much, and built a secret room alone two miles away from the place where the cell was built, and I don't know why. ”
