Xiahou Yuan did not bring many troops this time, only 800 people.

But these eight hundred men were the most elite soldiers under his command. It was not that Chen Liu did not have elite soldiers, but because Xia Houyuan could not act rashly.

A small bandit is not worth his effort at all.

If Xu Yi hadn't asked him for help, Xiahou Yuan might not have been able to manage Lei Xu's finances. What really made Xia Houyuan decide to send troops was when Xu Yi told him that Lei Xu was going to sack Yongqiu and then flee Chenliu County. As the prefect of Chenliu County, Xia Houyuan would definitely not sit idly by.

If this kind of thing happens. If Yongqiu is really robbed by Lei Xu, it will be difficult for him to talk to Cao Cao in the future!

The officers and soldiers did not attack rashly.

Instead, they moved toward the bandits' hiding place amidst the rumble of war drums.

How could a ragtag group of people be the opponent of these eight hundred warriors? After fighting all the way, the bandits were almost defeated. Lei Xu was too focused on one thing and the other, and did not command his men to resist in time. So these bandits seemed to be leaderless. Except for the initial resistance

After a while, they no longer had the intention to fight. Everyone retreated in a hurry when they heard the sound of war drums. How could they dare to confront the officers and soldiers...

"Afu, look!"

Zhou Cang suddenly pointed outward.

Following the direction of Zhou Cang's finger, Cao Peng saw a group of people running into the mountain valley in embarrassment.

"That short man is Lei Xu!"

Cao Peng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a flash of light flashed through his eyes.

Lei Xu is related to Xue Zhou, and Xue Zhou is a Guangling bandit and a famous pirate.

The chaos in Haixi is inseparable from Xuezhou... If Deng Ji wants to gain a foothold in Haixi, he must confront Xuezhou.

Then, Deng Ji faced a problem.

Is there someone else hiding behind Xue Zhou?

Perhaps, we can find clues from Lei Xu...

Thinking of this, Cao Peng gently pulled out the steel knife.

"Follow Lei Xu!"

"Um?"

"I want to find out about Xue Zhou's situation from this guy."

Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan suddenly showed signs of understanding.

Cao Peng turned to Wang Mai and said, "Third brother, Brother Hutou, you stay here and wait for the arrival of General Xiahou."

"Where are you going?"

"Uncle Zhou and I are going to do something."

Wang Mai immediately said: "I'll go too!"

"Brother Hutou, you all stay here and don't act rashly. If there are too many people, trouble will easily happen... With Uncle Zhou and Xiahou here, they can withstand thousands of troops. Third brother, don't move too much. We are sure of victory.

, if there are casualties at this time, the gains outweigh the losses."

"But……"

Cao Peng's face sank, "You promised me that you would obey my orders in everything. This is an order!"

Wang Mai and Dianman still wanted to argue, but they opened their mouths and finally agreed to obey.

After Cao Peng and the others looked at each other, they rushed out of the stone room. Wang Mai and Dianman immediately occupied the seats on both sides of the door and looked outside.

"Lao Qi, what the hell is Ah Fu doing?"

Noriman was a little unhappy.

It's not easy to encounter a war, but there is no chance to show off your skills.

Those thieves were too weak to interest him at all.

Wang Mai shook his head, "I don't know, but Ah Fu has always been plotting behind the scenes. Since he said that, there must be a special reason."

"How about we follow him secretly?"

"No..." Wang Mai quickly waved his hand, "Didn't Ah Fu say that with so many of us, something could easily happen."

"But……"

"Third brother, since we have agreed, don't mess around.

You may not know much about Ah Fu's temperament. He looks weak on the surface, but he's a fierce tiger in his heart.

If this incident made him angry, he would dare to fall out with you and even drive you back to Xudu... Don't laugh, I'm serious. When he was in Zhongyang Town, his body and bones were far inferior to what he is now.

But because someone bullied his mother, he took me around that person's house for a long time. I asked him what happened, but he refused to tell... As a result, he went to that person's house that night and killed the person.

"

Noriman couldn't help but fell silent.

After a moment, he whispered: "There are so many thieves outside, what if... I'm worried that Ah Fu and the others will be outnumbered."

"this……"

When Wang Mai heard this, he also looked thoughtful.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Let's follow him secretly!" Dianman looked back at Hu Ban and the subordinates, and lowered his voice: "Just the two of us will go there, don't let Ah Fu know. If Ah Fu and the others are fine, we won't show up. Just in case.

…We can also help.”

Wang Mai couldn't help but feel excited!

He was also a little worried, but what Cao Peng said just now was so serious that Wang Mai nodded in agreement out of habit.

What Noriman said makes sense.

If Ah Fu and the others are in danger or have an accident, how will they explain to Cao Ji and his wife and Deng Ji and his wife when they go back?

"We are only following. We are not allowed to take action unless it is absolutely necessary."

Noriman suddenly grinned widely, "Of course, I'm afraid too... Bah, I'm his third brother, I'm not afraid of this guy!"

Cao Peng, Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan followed Lei Xu and others into the grotto hall.

"Commander, the army is approaching, what should we do?"

I only heard a bandit asking in panic.

Lei Xu was silent for a while, "Let's leave here right away."

"What about the brothers outside?"

"At this time, let's take care of them... Let them stop the officers and soldiers for a while, it will buy us some time. Pack up quickly and bring those things that are easy to carry and valuable... Lei Fang, go and get them

Get those armors. Let’s put on the army armor and take advantage of the chaos to escape! Everyone, hurry up, if we are discovered, it won’t be that easy if we want to leave!”

My followers and followers immediately split up.

I saw the thief named Lei Fang, with two people, carrying a box from the corner of the hall.

When he opened it, there were all armors from the army. They must have been something Lei Xu had obtained before. Lei Fang took out a set and handed it to Lei Xu.

Lei Xu didn't refuse and immediately changed into his armor.

Then, I saw him pulling out a box from the stone couch, wrapping it in cloth, and carrying it on his shoulder.

"Leifang, are you ready?"

"Commander, everything is ready!"

"Let's go!"

Lei Xu is not sloppy at all when he does things.

As for the thieves under his command, in his eyes, they are not worthy of attention at all.

The group of people walked out in a hurry. After Cao Peng, Zhou Cang, and Xiahoulan looked at each other, Zhou Cang and Xiahoulan nodded to him in unison.

"Lei Xu, with the way you are dressed, are you going to join the army?"

Zhou Cang ducked out of the darkness and blocked the way of Lei Xu and others.

Lei Xu was startled at first, but when he saw clearly that it was Zhou Cang, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Zhou Cang!"

He shouted loudly: "I have no grudges with you in the past and no grudges in the near future. Why do you want to harm me?"

Zhou Cang laughed loudly, "Lei Xu, a man should be born in this world. He should use the sword in his hand to achieve unparalleled achievements. How can he be a thief all his life?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, what can I mean? I just want to borrow something from you."

"what?"

Lei Xu is obviously a flexible guy, and he is very aware of the situation at hand, and is not suitable for entangled with Zhou Cang.
