Chapter VIII The Troops Divide in Two Ways
Chapter 8: The troops are divided into two groups ()
The situation seems to have reached a very unfavorable point. More importantly, Mr. Tang dared not let Tang Jinlou leave first because someone had already come over and wanted to know the latest situation of the bandits.
The thin monkey smiled and walked to Lai Fu, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother, tell me what the bandits look like." Tang Jinlou's heart tightened. This man spoke casually, as if everything was under control. Could it be that the bandits were about to arrive...or, they no longer planned to let them out of this door!
Lai Fu looked at the thin monkey, opened his hand, and said seriously: "It's time, pack up and run away quickly. If the bandits come, you won't even have bones left."
At this time, a guy with a sinister face beside the skinny monkey said, "Have you ever seen a bandit..." Isn't you like that? Tang Yuanwai was panicked and could hardly help but wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.
"If I have seen it, I will not be able to live." Lai Fu said dissatisfiedly. He finally found that these people all regarded bandits as mountain goods, and they all came to ask him if he had seen them. He turned his face and said to Mr. Tang, "Master, that's the case..." Mr. Tang interrupted him: "You can tell me a short story."
Lai Fu was stunned for a moment, then thrust his waist and said loudly: "Master, that's the case. Today, Shunzi and I were on the mountain for some reason, and fortunately we heard them talking. We hid behind the stones and heard them telling the bandits' movements."
"Where are the bandits?" Tang Yuanwai and Shouhou asked this at the same time. The difference was that when Tang Yuanwai asked this, his face was sweating, and Shouhou's face instantly became as sinister as the one next to him.
"We overheard them saying that they were going to divide their troops into two groups, one long way from Qinghe Town, and take a detour from the other side of Qingquan Town." Lai Fu couldn't help but swallowed and came from the other side of him and Shunzi could not find it on the mountain.
"Why did they send people to the place you guard?" Tang Yuanwai asked. Lai Fu shook his head repeatedly, and Tang Jinlou snorted: "It's very simple, because they have repeatedly plundered and have attracted the attention of the government. Their purpose of sending people to the mountain is similar to ours, to guard against the government army!" Tang Yuanwai sighed and was speechless.
"But why did they change their way to Qingquan Town?" Tang Jinlou suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned, and Tang Yuanwai subconsciously replied: "Maybe the bandits guessed that we would look for someone to check the movement between Qinghe and Qingquan Town, so they changed the route and walked around from behind." As he said this, he couldn't help but feel cold. If this was the case, then his previous arrangement would be really a laugh. It's just a pity that he didn't really believe that the bandits would come to Qingquan Town at first, and he was too lazy to go to the countryside, which caused the situation that he couldn't want to go there now. Is his family going to die here?
"Didn't I ask this?" Tang Jinlou shook his head. Everyone looked at him strangely, and they were a little curious about what the child wanted to ask, but there was more disdain. Only Tang Yuanwai looked at his son and waited for him to speak.
Tang Jinlou had a strange expression on his face. He deliberately or unintentionally glanced at the thin monkey and the ghostly man in front of him, and said softly: "I just want to know why the bandits have to work so much to come to our Qingquan Town?" He stared at the thin monkey and his eyes suddenly opened: "Why must we come to Qingquan Town even if there is a pursuit of the official army?" His body, who was only ten years old, instantly gave the momentum that made the thin monkey want to avoid his gaze in an instant!
Everyone's faces changed drastically. Why did the bandits have to come to Qingquan Town? Yes, everyone suddenly wanted to know why. After all, Qingquan Town is just a medium-sized town, and Qinghe Town is a well-known town. Why did the bandits have to come to Qingquan Town after they went to Qinghe Town, and they insisted on coming to Qingquan Town with a good harvest? You must know that Qingquan Town has almost evacuated the entire town because of the news. They have worked so hard to come here, and it is very likely that they can't get anything!
Everyone has different thoughts. Tang Yuanwai was thinking about whether there are treasures in Qingquan Town, etc., so the bandits didn't care whether there was anything in the town, they just came to find treasures. But he himself quickly denied this situation, because if there were treasures, they should come secretly instead of making such a big fanfare. Even if they wanted to use looting the town as a cover-up, they shouldn't have robbed so many people before, attracting the attention of the government.
Mr. Tang could not think of the answer, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the group of thin monkeys in front of him. In his heart, he had already determined that these people must be bandits, so they must know the answer.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Shouhou and the others were indeed bandits, but they didn't know why they took such a big risk to come to this town that was almost empty. According to their estimates, it was impossible for them to leave anything valuable in this town. The only opportunity to recover the cost was the Tang Yuanwai, who had not had time to leave. I guess his property had not been transferred, which was also the reason why the bandits took special care of Tang Yuanwai.
When Lauderno heard about Tang Jinlou's problem, he trembled unconsciously. He was scared! Of course he knew why the bandits came. He had always planned and even deliberately delayed the time just to let Yue Buqun take a look at the vicious bandits who made his "family and his family die". But now, he was scared. That boy, obviously a child, could see so far.
Lauden secretly glanced at Yue Buqun. Yue Buqun was sitting upright and cast a gaze over there. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was also paying attention to the news of the bandits, as if he had not thought of anything, but Laudenden gradually felt restless, and sweat quietly penetrated his back!
He looked like he had never thought of anything, but it made Laudeno even more palpitations. He suddenly remembered that that night, his mentor Zuo Lengchan told him that Yue Buqun's martial arts were even more than him. Of course, he knew his mentor's martial arts skills. Between him and Bo Qun's martial arts, how high Yue Buqun's martial arts should be. But that day, Zuo Master said something, and now he thinks about it, and he almost feels like he is on pins and needles, and he can't help but jump up. Zuo Lengchan said:
"His swordsmanship is very high, but his scheming is ten times more sensible than swordsmanship! You need to be careful in the future and never reveal any flaws!"
The hall was silent, and the needle could be heard for a moment.
Tang Jinlou sneered and observed everyone's reaction. Seeing that everyone was silent, he suddenly turned to Lai Fu and said, "Uncle Lai Fu, you just said that the bandits were divided into two groups, one by one, one by one, and one by one, heading to Qingquan Town. So, what about the other?"
In the lobby, everyone's eyes were focused on Lai Fu's dull face, waiting for him to talk about where the other bandits were going.
