The ruthless bandit Lei Xu

Hu Ban hardly hesitated and chose to cooperate.

While waiting at the door, Hu Ban thought about one thing clearly. Even if what he did was not shocking, it would still make him lose his head several times. The few people in the room were his only hope now!

Treason, horse theft, robbery... If you take out any of these three things at random, you will lose your head. Not to mention treason! That is a crime that can be executed by the whole family. How can Hu Ban not be afraid?

So, he thought about it.

No matter what Deng Ji asked him to do, he would agree.

Looking at the posture of Deng Ji and his gang, they could at least save his life.

Moreover, Hu Ban has a little bit of thought.

After this incident, he probably won't be able to stay in Gaoyangting any longer. Not to mention other things, the fact that so many fellow villagers were injured is enough to make him afraid to go out. And what's the use of staying in Chenliu? It seems like he

This kind of person who has no background, no reputation, no background, and no ability will hardly have any future. Hu Ban doesn't want to be like Hu Hua and stay in this small place for the rest of his life.

Join the army?

Hu Ban is not willing to go.

Yes, you can earn military merit by joining the army.

The problem is that he has to have that life to receive it. He is worthless, and even if he enters the military camp, he will be classified as cannon fodder, and he will probably die.

If Deng Ji and the others could take him in, they might have a chance.

Hu Ban firmly remembered Cao Peng's words just now. How can a person who can become a sworn sworn brother with Huben Zhonglang and his son be an ordinary person?

"Hu Ban, you have to think carefully."

Deng Ji looked solemn, "If you reveal your flaws, you will die without a burial place... But no one can save your life."

"The villain knows, but the villain is willing to give it a try."

"That's it, come here."

Deng Ji asked Hu Ban to go over and tell him the details in detail.

To put it simply, Hu Ban was asked to hold Lei Xu back for a day and a night. After a day and a night, he could make his own decision no matter what the situation was.

At the same time, Deng Ji and Puyang Kai discussed for a while and decided to send Zhou Cang to accompany Hu Ban.

"Uncle Zhou, everything that needs to be explained has been explained. Do you have any questions?"

Zhou Cang smiled slightly, "There is no doubt, but can Lei Xu believe it?"

"Whether Lei Xu can believe it depends on your ability, Uncle Zhou!"

"In that case, I'll go down and prepare."

After Zhou Cang said that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Cao Peng looked at Zhou Cang's back and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Brother-in-law, will it be too dangerous for Uncle Zhou to do this?"

"The current plan is the only one that can hold Lei Xu back..."

Cao Peng nodded, walked to the desk in front of Deng Ji, picked up a drawing, and read it carefully by candlelight.

"Afu, why don't you go with someone else?"

Instead, he became a little nervous and advised softly: "If you follow the arrangement, it should be foolproof, so why would you take the risk?"

"Brother-in-law, everyone is taking risks, how can I step back?"

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he packed up the drawings.

"I will leave Daxiong and Second Brother's men here to guard. I will take Xiahou, Brother Hutou, and Uncle Zhou's men to take action.

You should be more careful. Once General Xiahou sends people over, you will take action immediately. I will wait for your signal in the mountains. As soon as you take action, I will immediately cooperate. Tell General Xiahou that if you see a fire in the mountains, you can attack the thunder.

Thousands of thoughts launch an attack."

Deng Ji thought for a while, sighed, and nodded in agreement.

Cao Peng wanted to go into the mountains, bypass Lutaigang, and hide behind Lei Xu.

From the bottom of his heart, Deng Ji certainly didn't want Cao Peng to go there. But think about it, he is physically disabled, otherwise he should be the leader of the team. Otherwise, if the risky things are left to the people below, how can morale be boosted?

This action is quite dangerous.

Fortunately, Cao Peng had just mastered martial arts, otherwise Deng Ji would not have agreed.

When Cao Peng went down to prepare, Deng Ji said to Puyang Kai: "Mr. Puyang, can you think of a way to prevent Ah Fu from taking risks?"

"this……"

"I'm really worried!"

Pu Yangkai could only console him by saying, "Uncle and Sun, as long as everything follows Youxue's plan, there will be no accidents."

"That's all!"

After Deng Ji finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

Cao Peng changed his attire in the room, took off his white robe, and then put on a black short-breasted jacket. He covered it with a leather armor and tied it around his waist with a large cowhide leather belt.

. He collected everyone’s weapons, and asked the heroes from Tufu Mountain to each have a steel sword, and then put on Zhajia... The reason why he let the people from Tufu Mountain accompany him was, firstly, because of Zhou Cang’s recommendation, and secondly.

When Cao Peng came, he also considered that these people were bandits at the beginning, and they should be familiar with marching and fighting in the mountains.

On the other hand, although Xu Yi's men are all capable of fighting, they may not be suitable for such a battle in the mountains.

At this time, it was just dawn.

Cao Peng led the people out of Gaoyangtingyi.

"Afu, you have to be more careful."

Cao Peng smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, just don't worry."

With that said, he turned around and prepared to leave... At this moment, a group of men and horses from a distance rushed over like lightning.

Immediately, a young man with a black face shouted loudly with a look of surprise on his face: "Ah Fu, where are you going? What happened?" -

Lutaigang is located between Yongqiu County and Gaoyangting.

Honggou Water is first divided into two rivers in Junyi, one of which is called Sui River. It flows southeast all the way through Chenliu, Liangguo, Peiguo, to Xiapi County, and then enters Sishui River and then enters the Huaihe River. Lutaigang is located in Sui River.

Waterside. On one side is the surging river, on the other side there are undulating hills and towering old trees.

It was late autumn, and the branches and leaves of the ancient trees in Lutaigang were withered and yellow, and many of them had begun to wither.

Hu Ban and Zhou Cang drove a dozen horses along the smooth and gentle road into the mountains. They turned left and right, and after about an hour, they saw a hidden mountain valley. If there was no one to lead the way,

It is really not easy to find this mountain col. There are many natural caves in the col valley. As soon as Huban and his two men approached, two small groups of people rushed out from the dense forests on both sides and blocked the way.

"Hu Ban, why are you the only one coming back? Why didn't Brother Lei Cheng see you?"

Hu Ban quickly dismounted and bowed repeatedly.

"Brothers, I have something very important that I need to report to Brother Lei Xu. This is an uncle of mine who is from the same country, and he has brought very important news. Is Brother Lei Xu here? I would also like to invite some brothers.

Excuse me, please take care of these horses."

"That's it...come with me."

There was a bandit who looked like a small leader, waving towards Hu Ban and Zhou Cang.

The rest of the people came forward to lead the horses.

"Uncle Zhou, the three caves on your right are the stables."

As Hu Ban walked, he greeted the bandits he knew and lowered his voice to remind Zhou Cang.

"Behind that stone, there is a big cave, which is where Lei Xu usually discusses things. Several of their leaders usually live in that cave. Have you noticed that there is a person hidden behind the big tree at the entrance of the valley?

There are about a dozen people inside the cave. Even if someone evades the checkpoint outside and gets in, they can't escape their eyes... These people are very clever."

Zhou Cang had no expression on his face and just nodded inadvertently.

The two people walked all the way and came to the huge stone that Hu Ban was talking about.

After walking around the boulder, I saw a natural cave. It was pitch black and very deep... Walking inside, I saw the jagged rocks on the cave wall, giving people an eerie and terrifying feeling. Zhou Cang still acted very calm.

It seemed like I didn't feel the atmosphere at all.

After walking about two to three hundred meters, the cave suddenly opened up.

A cave of nearly a thousand square meters is like a hall.

On the surrounding walls, there were more than a dozen large sticks of tallow wax as thick as an arm stuck in. The flames were fluttering around, illuminating the hall with a bright light.

"Brother Lei Xu!"

Hu Ban had a bright smile on his face and walked a few steps quickly.

There are dozens of people in this hall.

There is a man sitting in the middle, he looks to be in his early forties.

He is not tall, has short limbs, and does not look too strong. He stands up with a stooped waist, like a giant monkey.

He was drinking when he saw Hu Ban coming in and narrowed his eyes.

"Hu Ban, are you back?" This person is Lei Xu.

He put down the wine bowl and forced a smile on his thin face, "Is the matter settled?"
