Chapter 2 Horse Thief (2)
When a strong man holding an iron rod came with more than thirty horse thieves in leather armor, except for a few corpses on the ground, the man and woman who escaped were already missing.
The other men who took the lead were killed were also scared, and they did not leave two surveillance movements far away. However, the strong man with iron stick glanced and immediately saw two rows of horse hoof prints from the ground not far away. The distance between the horse hoof prints was not large and a little inconsistent. With his eyes, he naturally knew that they were two horses that were injured and could not run. The man and woman were still reluctant to part with the two injured horses, and still walked slowly with the horse. Do you really think that they were just breaking up a group of ordinary bandits?
"Chasing~! Don't let those two children run away!" The strong man shook his hand and shouted. "That kid is just powerful in his hands and has some magic. His skills should be just ordinary. Just be careful. Maybe it's a rich boy from a wealthy man in Qingzhou who can't run away after catching a few thousand taels of silver. I heard that he also brought a female companion, and everyone can have more fun to catch this evening."
"Fun? What fun?"
Of course it's fun to fuck a woman. Who would have a funny mind to ask this question? The strong man was about to scold him, but suddenly he was stunned. This was obviously a woman's voice. When he turned around, he saw a woman with big red flowers on her head and two big lumps of rouge on her face standing beside him at some point. On her face with heavy makeup, she looked at him curiously with a pair of clear and baby-like eyes and asked: "Also, you obviously don't have horses, why are you still called horse thieves?"
He hesitated for about a quarter of the blink of an eye, but this was because he really sighed that this woman with such beautiful and clear eyes was wearing such a gaudy heavy makeup. The iron rod on the strong man's hand was like a poisonous snake that had survived. He raised his head and pointed it at the woman's head. He had been working on this iron rod for thirty years, and he could produce a feminine force at all. With just one shaking on the strength on his wrist, the granite could be shattered.
Sure enough, with a slight stick, the woman's forehead shattered. As well as the entire head and the whole body shattered and dissipated silently.
It was just a spell that was silly? The stick head was not at all powerful, and the strong man immediately woke up. At this time, the sound of his clothes breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and he didn't look back. The iron stick in his hand was retracted as the momentum just now, and the tail of the stick was erected across.
With a dull sound, it was indeed a hit. The strong man could tell from the feeling from the stick that this sweep was swept under the opponent's armpit, shattering the bones on the left ribs, and flying out, the heart and lungs were definitely seriously damaged. If it weren't for the protection of the hard leather armor, this sweep could have completely dispersed.
The strong man hadn't reacted yet, but his knees suddenly became soft, and then a very familiar sound of Kra was heard. The sound usually happened to the person hit by his iron rod, which was the sound of bone shattering. Then the severe pain came. He fell to the side, and just saw the person who was hit by him with a stick at the corner of his eyes. He was a close friend who was originally standing not far behind him.
At some point, a woman who was exactly the same as before appeared beside every horse thief. Whether these horse thieves were so shocked that they were at a loss or reacted and slashed their swords, these women stretched their feet and kicked their feet and shins. The sound of broken bones crackling like firecrackers, and then there were screams of ups and downs. All the more than thirty horse thieves fell to the ground.
This Mingyue girl was indeed useful. Xiao Xia walked out of the bushes hiding not far away. At least at this time, it did prove that taking this half-demon and half-human girl on the road was a good choice. If I had tried to instruct her to do it before, I could save the capital of the two talismans in total.
"Why do they call horse thieves even though they don't have horses?" Miss Mingyue seemed to be obsessed with this question.
Xiao Xia looked at the dress of these people and was even more certain, and replied: "They should have come from Jizhou. The terrain here is rugged and muddy, so the horses probably stay there. The people here should be just their periphery."
"How did you know?" Miss Mingyue seemed to have many interests and questions at any time.
Xiao Xia was stunned. Of course he could see it at a glance. These people not only had military crossbows, but also were wearing leather armor. The gang sect in Qingzhou had already divided all the forces. How could there be so many well-equipped bandits? Only the horse thieves who came and went like the wind and robbed horse teams on the Jizhou Plain could have such a scale. However, these are not something that can be explained clearly to the half-demon girl who knows nothing.
With a loud shout, a black shadow suddenly broke through the air and shot in. It was actually a long iron stick thrown out from the strong man on the ground. Although the leader of the horse thief was screaming after falling to the ground, his eyes were not distracted at all. Seeing that Xiao Xia and Mingyue seemed not to notice him, they threw out the stick in their hands as hidden weapons.
This iron stick is hundreds of pounds, and it has infused the strong man's whole body power. He still hit Mingyue's vest from behind. He looked at the angle and thought that he would pass Mingyue past and then kill Xiaoxia. It has to be said that this attack is indeed vicious and vicious, and this strong man is indeed a character. But the Mingyue girl just turned around and snatched the arm that was thinner than the iron stick, and pinched the huge hidden weapon in her hand like she caught a chopstick.
"This person is very powerful." Miss Mingyue nodded, raised her thin willow-leaved eyebrows, and even praised the strong man. But the next moment she raised the semen iron stick in her hand that was thicker than the goose egg and longer than her whole person. She waved the strong man on the ground who was previously very powerful but now was stunned.
"Stop it!" Xiao Xia shouted quickly. But he was also stunned, so he shouted a little later. The girl's stick had already swung it. With a snap, the powerful stick seemed to hit an egg. Of course, there was still a little chicken's feather egg, and the dirty blackhorn red juice splashed Lao Gao.
"Why should I stop?" Mingyue looked at Xiaoxia strangely. "This person is so fierce, why are you keeping it?"
"......At least, girl, please leave your head..." Xiao Xia sighed and looked forward to look at the strong man who was praised as good as a good one by her. Now it can barely be seen as a human figure, but the upper half of her head has flown everywhere, and the lower half has fallen directly to the navel.
Xiao Xia was not very good at kung fu, but his eyesight was very good. This strong man could use the iron stick that was so fine that he was no longer under the three guardians of the Luoshui Gang. He was already a first-class expert. In addition, he was forbearing and cruel, most of them were famous horse thieves in Yongzhou. Even if they were captured alive and taken away, they could receive a reward at the head level. Jizhou, like Yongzhou, is on the border with the Xidi, and relies on Yongzhou's escort support to maintain it. Over the past 20 years, many systems have followed some of the habits of Yongzhou. For example, for these horse thieves, they rewarded not only silver, but also military merits.
As long as you make military achievements and enter Yongzhou again, even if the Luoshui Gang really discovers something and sends someone to arrest him, Xiaoxia is not afraid. Even if the Pure Land Zen Temple wants to pursue the death of the Mirang Monk, as long as they are in Yongzhou, they will have no choice.
Because that is Yongzhou.
There are no rivers and lakes in Yongzhou, although there are actually many people in Yongzhou. There are no Taoist temples in Yongzhou, and no monks and Taoists are different from ordinary people here. There is even no king's law in Yongzhou because the people here do not know the king's law at all. They only know the Hongye Army in Yongzhou, only the general's mansion, or only the general.
The general only knows people who have military merits. So as long as you have military merits, have not violated military laws, and have not violated the temper of the general, no one dares to do anything to you in Yongzhou.
That's why Xiao Xia was so anxious to rush to Yongzhou, and wanted to save the life or use the head of this strong man. Unfortunately, Mingyue smashed this rare military merit with one stick. Xiao Xia estimated that he did two missions in Liuzi Camp that year, but this strong man's head might not have received much military merit.
However, this stick was not useless. At least the horse thieves who fell on the ground around him dared to move around again. These guys who made a living by fighting were all brave people who made a living with their heads. Seeing that there were only two people, they would bite back whenever they had any chance. But when they witnessed the fiercest leader being knocked into a rotten egg, they naturally became honest. They were not afraid of death, but they would not rush to die.
Fortunately, Miss Mingyue is so useful and so easy to use. If one is broken, you can catch another one. This group of horse thieves have a good background. They gather here and set up external warnings. There must be a deal to do, and the one who comes will not be the strong man.
Xiao Xia casually dragged a broken-legged horse thief into the bushes in the distance, asked about their origins and purpose of coming here, and then stabbed the horse thief with a sword, causing him to scream and then immediately knocked out, and then came out to drag the other to the bushes on the other side. After dragging three, the first one was still a little concealed, and the two behind were already full of knowledge.
It was similar to what Xiao Xia expected. This was a group of horse thieves in the northeast of Jizhou. After getting the news, a batch of red goods would be transported into Jizhou from here, so an ambush was set up here to prevent the target from entering Jizhou from attracting other horse thieves to rob. Now the target has been in ambush and is about to kill people and rob goods in one fell swoop. The one who left a warning on the periphery was to prevent someone from passing by and being discovered.
With a thunder, a firework rose up from behind the two hills in the distance and exploded again. It should be the signal that the group of horse thieves took action.
"...Okay, take advantage of this great opportunity to fight against the snipe and clam, Miss Mingyue will quickly follow me to catch all the horse thieves in one fell swoop..."
Xiao Xia waved his sword twice and was a little impatient. Although he had been in the world for so many years, he would do it himself when he was doing it, or others were talking from behind, and he was trying hard in front, so he could not help but occasionally imagine the scene of his own wave of his hand and many subordinates covering up the killing. Now he has got what he wants. Although there is only Miss Mingyue, his subordinates who have master Chixia from the Pure Land Zen Temple were naturally worth ten thousand.
The Mingyue girl nodded immediately: "Okay, you go first. I will take two horses to find a better place to find a place with water plants and then come."
"well?"
"You go first, I can find yours." Mingyue looked at Xiao Xia who was hesitant curiously, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you afraid of going alone? Do you dare to go if you want me to accompany you? But I have to take the horse to find a safe place first."
"Well. Then I'll go and explore the reality of those horse thieves first, and ask Miss Mingyue to come quickly."
