Chapter 015 The incompetent wolf, there is only one dead end
While thinking in his heart, Li Tianqu asked again: "Where is the leader Zhang Hu now?"
"Teacher Zhang also took dozens of brothers to search for Xiling, and also went to see if there were any refugees who fled and robbed money. I'm afraid he would have to argue with the Liao village leader when he came back."
After Li Tianqu finished thinking in his heart, he suddenly said meaningfully: "Yes... the village leader only cares about seizing the benefits himself, which makes the brothers feel heartbroken. How can he convince the public?"
Not only did Jie Qing, who was standing beside Li Tianqu, look strange when he heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a strange light. Among the minions who were sharing the spoils, there was a delicate man who heard Li Tianqu dared to openly accuse the village leader of his unfair behavior, and he immediately realized that something might happen in the village sooner or later.
However, at this moment, another minion stumbled through the secret path at the foot of the mountain and fled into the village, and shouted with a sad face: "No! Head Zhang led his brothers to search, but he caught Qin Zongquan's soldiers and horses accidentally revealed their appearance. The donkey bird took action without saying a word. We have already lost more than twenty brothers!"
After hearing this, the minions in the village were immediately furious. Li Tianqu's heart skipped a beat, and then asked immediately: "Since you have already started, why don't you see the leader Zhang retreating back to the village? You are the only one who comes back?"
The panting minion quickly replied: "There is a bird-like arrow in Qin Zongquan's group of soldiers, which makes him really hard to raise his head. Seven or eight brothers were shot and killed by him. I was only closer to Pantuo Road under the mountain and covered it with the stone wall. Only then can I escape back to report the news by chance!"
Could it be him again? Zhang Hu must have run into the general Qin Zongquan who almost shot me a few days ago, and that person... It is also very likely that there are also sayings in later generations that he was the number one sharpshooter of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!
Li Tianqu's face darkened, and his palm that was holding Tang Dao's hilt and clenched a little bit again. Jie Qing's face was also showing a look of panic on his side, and he just looked at Li Tianqu. The crowd of minions around him were like ants on a hot pan and were at a loss. When Liao Lun was also shocked by the noise outside. He and three or five close friends were about to come out, and immediately glared and cursed: "Damn, what are you all doing?"
However, when the minion who came to report the news and warn again reported, Liao Lun's expression changed. He was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted in a sharp voice: "Why not close the gate of the village! No one is allowed to move rashly! Never teach the soldiers outside to discover the location of the village!"
"...Wait, since leader Zhang Hu and dozens of brothers in the village were intercepted and killed, how could we remain indifferent?"
After hearing Li Tianqu suddenly said in a deep voice, Liao Lun immediately turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and cursed: "Silly man! How can you speak here? Qin Zongquan's group is so powerful that he can resist the enemy? Now these small men in the village are just going to save them in vain!"
This time, Li Tianqu no longer avoided a dispute with Liao Lun. He sneered and said, "That's better than waiting for death! I can't wait to help, and if the intercepted brother fell into the hands of the anti-army, how could you not give up the location of the village in order to save your life?
Although the village is hidden, if the thieves under Qin Zongquan dispatched a large number of troops to come, wouldn’t we be unable to fly? Now that we can fight, we may not be able to make a way out! We are all brothers in the same village, and now it is an imminent juncture of life and death. Do we have to defeat each one?”
Li Tianqu refuted and questioned in public, and had already taught Liao Lun to be unable to come to Taiwan. His face turned pale and his mind was murderous. He immediately shouted angrily: "Li Tianqu! Don't forget that it was the leader of the village to be sheltered and taught you to save your life! I dare not be disrespectful to me! Then again, you, the one who killed dozens of soldiers under Qin Zongquan's command, was you, the donkey bird. My village had never offended them so much. At worst, you could send someone to make peace. But you, an ungrateful beast, just want to fight, but you are not going to take my village to bury with you!?"
As expected! This guy was just trying to hide in the counterfeit village and lively and happily, but he was really going to be found by Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan's anti-army. Liao Lun, a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong, thought that since he was doing something to confront the court, he just wanted to be a thief who harmed innocent people, he certainly refused to fight against the powerful anti-army! If he really had the chance to surrender to Huang Chao, Qin Zongquan would have to send me to slaughter immediately!
After Li Tianqu thought about it, his murderous intention suddenly arose. However, he no longer had to face Liao Lun's tit-for-tat. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the crowd of people watching around him, and said loudly: "The one who was intercepted by the anti-army is not me, Li Tianqu, but my brothers in the village who were born and died together! Today, the leader Zhang Hu and others were intercepted. If we waited and ignored it, when the sword and axe were added to our necks, which one would help us?
You all know the cruel methods of Qin Zongquan's rebel army killing people when they see them. Even if you servilely go to beg for mercy, do you think the birds who set up pounding forts as human flesh and food under the mountains will be very merciful? They are used to fighting against the government in the mountains and forests, and now they are not as good as they are fighting for their own blood?"
A deafening voice came into his ears. Many minions present had hesitant expressions, and there were many people among them who were angrily gazing at the hilt, pinching the hilt of the knife. Li Tianqu continued to strike while the iron was hot, and turned around and stared at Liao Lun and said angrily: "Lord Liao Village, brothers, let you be the first seat, but you don't usually have most of the benefits. As the village leader, you must also have a responsibility! Now the anti-army under Qin Zongquan is about to reach the door, and it has killed many brothers' lives. This is your plan? If your brothers don't help him, they will think that they are a little dangerous, and they want to be a slave or a dog?"
"Rareless! Li Tianqu, you donkey bird are so kind and forget your righteousness. How dare you collide with the village leader like this?"
Although some minions pulled out their weapons and pointed at Li Tianqu and shouted sternly, they were just a few three or five close friends surrounded by Liao Lun. The other bandits looked at each other, but most of them only looked at each other with their arms and eyes coldly, and they had no intention of standing up for Liao Lun's so-called camp leader.
Li Tianqu took the corner of his eyes and looked around, and the people around him were roughly as expected...
Although he was more hasty than he expected in advance to take the lead, he could only immediately decide to tear off his face and challenge Liao Lun, the leader who was not powerful enough to convince the public. However, in the face of an emergency, Liao Lun was panicked and used to eating alone. He also ignored the life and death of his accomplices such as Zhang Hu outside the village. Such a face was exposed again, and there was no prestige in front of everyone.
For most of the bandits gathered in Lugang, their mentality is like a group of wolves gathered together, forming a group for predation. Of course, this group also needs a wolf to lead.
Liao Lun was originally the leader of the parody. It was not because he was loyal and respectful. Since he took over the position of the so-called leader wolf, he had never won the trust and respect of the vast majority of people.
So when another wild wolf joins the gang challenges the power of the head wolf, most of the bandits are like the vast majority of the wolves. They will not siege the wild wolf that challenged the former wolf, but choose to watch and not intervene in the fight until either side kills the other party...
So now, except for this thief leader who has long been murderous, at least the opportunity to win over some people to use for him is basically completely mature.
