The kidnapped bandits did not remain confused for long before they were replaced by fear.

Chu Qing took a dagger and walked up to him. The sharp blade flashed with cold light and faced his face.

"Ah...ah..." Panic filled his heart, and the bandit kept shouting. Because the rope was tightened so hard, his lips had lost their color and were even stretched to the point of cracking and peeling. His saliva was also sucked dry by the rope, which made him look quite ugly.

For pity.

Chu Qing took the dagger not to kill him or to scare him, but to cut the rope. If she wanted to ask questions, she had to let go of his mouth, but the rope was tightly tied and still tight.

Chu Qing held the dagger and gestured for a long time, but he didn't know where to start, because no matter where he started, it seemed that his flesh would be cut.

The bandit was so nervous that his soul almost left his position. The more nervous he became, the more he wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy. But as soon as he bowed, he strangled his neck even tighter. As a result, his neck, mouth, and even his forehead became congested and swollen with blood.

People are like this. If you scare him when you are first captured, you may not be able to scare him. He will still maintain the inertia of confrontation and fight you to the death.

But after he was captured and ignored, and he could linger in a warm room for so long, he would look forward to surviving. The longer the time goes by, the stronger his desire to live.

At this time, the slightest sign of life-threatening occurrence will frighten him.

With him like this, Chu Qing couldn't do anything anymore, he was about to strangle himself to death.

Gan Lai really couldn't stand it: Boss, too, just cut the rope. What are you looking for? If you don't kill him, it will be easier for him. How can you show mercy to him if you cut the rope?

A big mouth shouted, and the bandit fell sideways on the ground, not daring to call out or move. Gan Lai took the dagger from Chu Qing's hand and cut the rope tied to the bandit's wrist behind his back.

Naturally, not only was the rope cut, the sheepskin jacket from the waist to the buttocks had a large opening nearly half a foot long, and the fur was turned over, like open crotch pants.

The bandit's arms had been tied up for a long time until the blood flowed out. When he was loosened, his arms were so painful that they felt like needles pricking him. However, he didn't even dare to relax for a while, so he quickly got down on the ground and kowtowed to thank him for letting him go.

This kowtow made the big hole in the back look more like open crotch pants, which made Chu Yuan burst into laughter.

"Tell me about it." Chu Qing said.

The bandit was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Also, the girl who gave her a big mouth has no beard now and is very beautiful...

Chu Yuan kicked him on the shoulder: "What are you looking at?!"

The bandit grinned after being kicked so hard that he swallowed the words that were stuck in his mouth and decided to answer the previous question.

The bandit quickly sorted out his thoughts and asked "Let's talk". It was nothing more than asking where the lair was, how many people there were, and who they were, so let's just say it, but...

"I said, but, Mr. Boss, not Mrs. Boss, no..." What should I call this? It's so difficult to be a human being!

Seeing that Chu Yuan was about to kick him again, the bandit suddenly became smart: "My lord, I'll say it immediately, but you have to save my life!"

Now Xiao Sining also wanted to kick him: "I'm giving you face, right? I've even agreed on some conditions!"

Bandit: "No, gentlemen, please listen to what I have to say. If I tell you everything, we, the Commander-in-Chief, will kill me later."

Xiao Sining: "Boss, kill him now. I'll catch a few more after that."

Bandit: "Uh..."

The interrogation revealed that this group of bandits were deserters who took advantage of the defeat and escaped from the road during the national war, and were led by a small capital commander.

The commander-in-chief's name was Yang Yu. He was a quick-thinking man. He led his five hundred soldiers to work without any effort on weekdays. On the battlefield, he put his life first, so his soldiers all supported him.

Yang Yu had never been optimistic about the battle with Daxuan. During the National War, he relied on his familiarity with the mountain roads and finally succeeded in bringing out about 200 of his 500 soldiers, and the rest died.

It was also because these less than 200 people escaped, so they were even more obedient to Yang Yu.

In the first two years of Xiaoju Mountain Forest, he absorbed some escaped palace guards and robbed their homes in order to survive.

The people of old Donglun were already living in poverty, so they couldn't bear the trouble and simply joined them.

After joining, I discovered that being a bandit is much better than being a slave to a subjugated country!

To be a slave of a subjugated country, one must not only be oppressed by the original nobles or big landowners, but also be controlled by the Daxuan people. Officials at all levels in Daxuan naturally treat them with indifference. Under double oppression, they are still comfortable as bandits.

In this way, their team has grown larger and larger over the past few years, and now there are nearly a thousand people.

When people talk, food becomes a big problem, so they not only rob passing caravans, but also loot nearby villages. In the past, they only robbed food, but later they wanted everything, especially women.

The nearby villages are becoming increasingly desolate and people have moved away.

"I'm not full even if I eat like this." Cai Haoxian, the bandit, was already talking so hard that his mouth was dry. He stared at the tea cup in Chu Qing's hand and licked his lips.

Chu Qing asked someone to pour him a bowl of water and asked him to continue talking. However, Cai Haoxian drank it all in one gulp and wanted another bowl. Xiao Sining refused and said, "What's the matter? If you drink too much, I'll get you a bucket."

At least he had replenished some water, and Cai Haoxian was no longer so dry when he spoke: "We don't have enough to eat, so we take jobs and rob for whoever gives us money;

To use an analogy, the Zhang family’s caravan has a grudge against the Li family’s caravan. Ah, there may not necessarily be any grudge. Anyway, they are all enemies, so they paid us to rob the Li family’s caravan. After three or seven points, we

account for seven;

Most of the time, in order not to offend us, they simply don’t take a penny, it’s all ours, but there aren’t many times like this, but even just once is enough for us to enjoy for half a month.”

When asked about the interception and killing of Chu Qing two years ago, Cai Haoxian realized that it was the same caravan that killed one hundred and fifty of their people.

Cai Haoxian stuttered: "It's really you!"

One hundred and fifty people died last time, and fifty or sixty of them were sent by the Meng family.

"Not all of them are from the Meng family. I heard them say that they were hired by several businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River. They were just the instigators of the Meng family. They said that your convoy has money and goods. As long as you kill the leader, the money will be paid."

The goods all belong to us." Cai Haoxian explained.

Chu Qing asked: "How did they contact you?"

Cai Haoxian: “It wasn’t that we were contacted, but when our people went down to patrol the mountain, they saw fifty or sixty people suddenly appearing on our hillside, sneaking around looking for places to hide horses, and digging holes to hide people and things.

As soon as our men saw the horses, they came out, tied them all up the mountain, searched them for valuables and horses, and prepared to kill them;

As a result, their leader yelled and said that there was a big deal for us, and we, the junior governor, agreed, but asked them to follow us, fearing that they would lie."

Xiaobao asked: "Then all the people you send out are soldiers?"

Cai Haoxian: "Yes, the Meng family said that your guards are many and powerful. Let us send out some who can fight and kill. Bring weapons and be sure to kill... you."

Three more people died today, alas.

Xiaobao asked again: "Then what happened to you today?"

Cai Haoxian: "So many people have died, and there are not many of us left. We are also afraid of your revenge, so we have dug a lot of traps in the mountains to catch big animals. We have been cut off and have no food to eat."

want;

It would be better if we captured your people. If someone falls into the trap and screams, we will kill them if there are few people, and run away if there are many people."

Chu Yuan: "Don't you have a thousand people? Only dozens of people died. Why are there not many left?"

Cai Haoxian glanced at Chu Qing: "There is such a big movement here, trees are being cut down and houses are being built, we dare not go down the mountain, and there is not enough food to eat;

There are many brothers in the mountains who joined later, not bandits who joined later. They were originally common people in this area. They sneaked out to work for you to make money and never came back;

Except for those of us who have served as soldiers, there are not many people on the mountain anymore."

Xiaobao: "How many people are there if there are not many people?"
