It was night and there was silence in the forest.
Even within the ancient tribe, this place is relatively remote.
If it weren't for some recent events that disturbed the peace here, I'm afraid this place would be as unvisited as it has been for many years.
But tonight, the silence here was broken by dozens of people.
"You few go to the front to look for me. A few of you go into the forest. The rest of you go with me in the other direction. Remember! You must catch those who steal the army horses. If you dare to steal my army horses, I will kill them thousands of times."
Cut into pieces!"
If Lin Mengya were here at this time, she would definitely recognize that the man sitting on the horse and commanding with a cold look on his face was the former officer of Shaoxuan Army.
It's just that he is not as high-spirited now as he was then.
After the incident happened, he spent a lot of effort to appease those guys, asking them not to make a big deal out of the matter for the time being, and waiting for him to catch them back and make amends. Then he promised many benefits, and then he calmed down.
At the same time, after learning that he had lost so many troops and horses, he was a little panicked.
Military horses are different from other equipment. Even if the weapon is lost, he can still cover it up, but military horses are different.
They are all rigorously trained and every horse is documented.
Once it is lost, injured, or killed in action, it must be verified by the personnel at the peak before being recorded and then deployed uniformly.
However, military horses themselves are not easy to breed, and coupled with a series of costs such as training, they have become the most valuable military material in their hands.
You must know that even the cavalry under his command cannot have one horse per man.
So every time he went to a place, he would bring all the army horses together in advance and raise them.
This is because they are afraid of being attacked by others or not being able to treat their horses in time if they get sick, causing unnecessary losses.
But he didn't expect that he would lose dozens of horses overnight!
Moreover, the horse thief had really good vision. What he stole were all strong young military horses, leaving behind only the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Despite this, he did not dare to report directly to his superiors. Although the cooperation with these people had the approval of the superiors, the superiors were only responsible for receiving money.
The best they can do is turn a blind eye to their affairs. If things really get serious, the higher-ups will probably throw them out like abandoned children!
Thinking of such serious consequences, he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body!
If not, he must catch the person back. No matter what the cost, he must recover the loss in the shortest possible time, otherwise what awaits him will be consequences that he will never be able to bear.
When he thought of this, the expression on the man's face became more eager and sinister.
He must think carefully , why on earth did this group of people come specifically to oppose him.
Could it be that his sworn enemy in the army got wind of it and deliberately killed him?
He thought over and over again, but couldn't catch any clues about the enemy. In the end, he could only lead people to search frantically around him.
Soon, some of his subordinates came back and reported, "Sir, we found some people's footprints not far ahead! The footprints are very messy, there should be at least 100 people. And the footprints are very new, they should have just left here.
soon!"
When the hundred-eyed commander who was eager to catch the person heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately ordered, "Chase! You must follow the footsteps, it must be them!"
This group of people were in high spirits and chased westward, following the messy footprints.
At this time, Lin Mengya was riding on a horse, squinting towards the direction they came from.
"Linzi, I feel that's enough." Yuan Bao glanced at the thornheads who were making footprints below, and then whispered to her.
"Well, we will withdraw in a moment." She calculated the time.
The path they chose was not an easy one.
If there are few people, it will be okay, but if there are too many people, it will inevitably slow down the progress.
Fortunately, these people were nimble and moved quickly, otherwise they would not have been able to create so many traces in such a short period of time.
As for those guys who kept running and jumping on the ground, with their faces turning pale and yellow from exhaustion, they now wanted to die.
They regret it now!
Do you regret why you started this career in the first place? Do you regret why you had to mess with these evil stars with your hands and mouth?
It's good now.
They were like a few donkeys, being driven with whips to run fast in the forest.
Even if they run, they still have to run sideways repeatedly.
Slowing down a little bit will result in a whip. If they want to lie on the ground and not get up, then these people will be even more crazy.
They actually dragged me away with a rope!
Now these guys know that the world is dangerous, oh oh oh, if there is a chance in the future, they might as well go home and become hoodlums.
What are you doing here? Are you going to suffer?
"Are we really going to let these people go?" Yuan Bao frowned slightly, looking at those people with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
No matter how miserable they are now, the reason is all due to their own greed.
And don’t watch them put themselves
They are as pitiful as they say, but in fact every one of them is a criminal.
The current punishment seems light to him!
All human traffickers should die! Catch each one and chop each one!
Lin Mengya said, "They still have to help us fish! But don't worry, their fate won't be much better."
Her eyes were full of coldness.
She knew what these people were up to.
It's nothing more than wanting to join that group of human traffickers and then make a profit from it.
But they overestimated their status.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
With just five taels of silver, one person's business was already very smooth for them.
Just like cutting leeks, there is no need for them to do it. Countless people keep sending people here just for this small profit.
So in their eyes, little gangsters like these thorns are of no use at all.
The only people they can trust are their own people. They treat the ancient tribesmen, including these gangsters, with a mentality of treating commodities.
Let me ask, who would trust a product?
Not only is it risky and troublesome, but it is also possible to escape at any time. This kind of thing is simply not worth the gain.
Therefore, Lin Mengya guessed that if this group of people were captured, the outcome waiting for them would not be good.
It's a pity that these people can't see through it and always feel that they are special and their body bags are temporary. As long as they lick them well, the other party can treat them as companions and even let them go.
Ha! She can only say that these people are too naive!
Yuan Bao hated human traffickers very much, so after Lin Mengya said what he said, although he was a little reluctant, he decided to follow his brother's advice.
Seeing that the matter was almost done, the brothers looked at each other and left on horseback.
The group of thornheads were still jumping sideways conscientiously. However, when they looked up, they found that all the fierce-looking guys were gone. They were still a little unbelievable.
"Go, go?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Maybe, but they left, why didn't they call us?" One of them was still a little confused.
As a result, he was hit on the head.
"That's stupid! We're gone, why don't we run away quickly? Do you want to be tortured to death by them?"
These guys reacted instantly.
Yes!
Now that the person watching them is gone, they don't have to continue on their way like donkeys.
The next moment, everyone collapsed on the ground and gulped panting heavily.
"Boss, why do you think they all left? Don't they want us to work for them anymore?" the guy who was beaten just now asked again innocently.
But this time, he didn't get beaten.
"I feel puzzled too." Thorny touched his chin, but there was a bit of resentment in his eyes.
He has never suffered such a big loss in his life.
When he thought about being treated like a dog these days, he couldn't help but want to take revenge and go back.
But the actual situation is that with just these few words of theirs, let alone revenge, you may have to turn around and run when you encounter them next time, otherwise you will have to get a good beating.
Thorny grinded his teeth, feeling that he couldn't swallow this breath easily.
As he rolled his eyes, he suddenly had a good idea.
"You guys come here, let's do this-"
As he spoke, several people gathered together and kept listening to his plan.
In fact, it's very simple. Just because they can't beat them doesn't mean that others can't beat them either.
This group of people was just as Lin Mengya expected. Not only did they not find a way to escape from the man-eating devil's cave, they even wanted to go back on their own initiative.
In their eyes, everyone is the same, and this time they may be able to meet the trafficker's boss, and maybe they can take them all in together. If there is money, everyone can make money together.
So, several people ran along the way they came.
At the same time, that prickly head also hated those people who had run away before.
Why do they have the opportunity to run away, but they can only be left to do cool labor?
Ha! What a bunch of idiots!
When he finds someone and becomes his eldest brother, he will definitely catch those people back with his own hands!
But he forgot that in order to prevent anyone from leaking the news, Lin Mengya and the others did not even reveal their true faces.
And they only say that they want to recruit people to do the work, but where exactly is Zhuangzi? Who are they? In what direction are they heading?
This thorny head didn't say anything, and even the direction Lin Mengya let them see the group leaving was all fake.
really!
When Thornhead finally met the Hundred-Eyed Chief and his men, he sold Lin Mengya and the others as soon as they met.
But he didn't know that all the clues he thought were false.
And after he showed the way, the group of guys would only go further and further away, and they wouldn't be able to catch anyone at all.
After struggling all night, Bai Muchang looked at the cliff in front of him, his face dark and terrifying.
Didn’t you say that people are running in this direction? Where are people now?
