Looking at the raging fire behind him, Su Wen muttered.
He really didn't understand why these horse bandits and bandits' villages all liked to have the word "wind" in their names.
Five days have passed since they encountered Huang Qinglang in Huangfeng Village.
Within a few days, Su Wen discovered that this ghost place was really messy.
There are bandits' dens everywhere, including the large and small Hu tribes encountered along the way. When they saw him, they all looked at him with evil eyes. Some tribes saw him alone, so they took up his idea and tried to kill people and steal wealth.
The person who took action was naturally hacked to death by Su Wen with a backhand knife. Su Wen also chopped off the thumbs of those who participated in the siege, so that they would not be able to use weapons to do bad things in the future.
But for the grassland where the weak are the strongest, having Su Wen chop off his fingers and losing his strength is almost as good as death.
In order not to cause trouble and attract Long Aotian's attention, Su Wen stayed away from the tribes. However, he encountered more horse bandits.
Su Wen was not polite. He killed the most heinous crime on the spot, and chopped off the hands and feet of the accomplices. Some horse bandits turned around and ran away because of their lack of knowledge. Su Wen was also idle, following the traces and smells they left, and found them.
The old nest, completely destroy it.
After setting up a village called Green Wind Village, Su Wen was out of control. The village owner Xiong Dali was so good at escaping that Su Wen failed to kill him several times. Xiong Dali fled to Hongfeng Village
He asked for help, but before his buttocks could even be warmed, Su Wen came to kill him, and Hongfeng Village was destroyed. After that, he visited the lairs of four or five horse bandits, and Xiong Dali was killed.
It is precisely because of this that a frightening name appeared on this grassland.
"The villain Zhang San."
In the eyes of the surviving horse bandits, Su Wen became a vicious, moody and murderous bandit.
This person is unreasonable at all and specializes in plundering strongholds. He is highly skilled in martial arts and kills people like crazy.
The image of "Villain Zhang San" begins with a handsome young man wearing white clothes and riding a black horse.
But within a few days, the image of "Zhang San" quickly became distorted.
"The villain Zhang San" turned into a lone thief who was nine feet tall, had eyes like copper bells, and a bloody mouth. He was a man with three horses, wearing a tattered cloak. Wherever he passed, there was blood and rain. Many people in the grassland
The tribe has offered a reward for the horse bandit, and is willing to pay a lot of money to get rid of this unruly guy.
When passing by a Liang border army outpost, Su Wen heard his own image. For a moment, Su Wen could not connect it with his own image. When the border residents in the outpost heard that Su Wen was from Daliang, they all persuaded Su Wen to
Don't push further into the depths of the grassland. The outpost where they are located is already Daliang's last stronghold on the northern grasslands. This is the limit of Daliang Dynasty's power investment.
Su Wen declined the kindness of the residents and defenders, but decided to stay away from this place. He had a feeling that Long Aotian was already very close to him. Once he stopped, he would be captured by Long Aotian in less than half a day. He left.
Previously, Su Wen took out some medicines from his treasure bag and gave them to the border troops, and also gave some cloth and food to some poor border residents - all of them were items he found in the bandits' dens.
In addition, Su Wen also discovered that when he was killing horse thieves and robbers in the grassland, several cultural bottlenecks seemed to be loosening, especially the forces related to the Mohist family, which were full of vitality.
Su Wen had a clear understanding in his heart, and knew that what he was doing now was in line with the Mohist definition of chivalry and righteousness, so the third sequence of "chivalry" rituals was already about to begin.
In addition, the cultural context of the Legalist approach is also particularly active.
Su Wen kills a lot of people these days.
But there was no innocent blood on his hands. He would kill someone decisively only if he was determined to be extremely evil and worthy of death according to Daliang law.
If the evil deeds are not enough to be punished by death, he will be punished according to the jungle laws of the grassland, from cutting off hands and feet to cutting off fingers, or other punishments, all of which are legal and justified.
"What is this young man's name?"
Seeing Su Wen walking away with a dozen horses loaded with goods, the commander of Blackstone Castle suddenly remembered something and asked his men.
"...Zhang San."
The subordinate wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "This Brother Zhang is really brave. The medicine he gave us is worth at least five hundred taels of silver! He also gave more than a dozen pieces of cotton cloth to the folks in the fort. These are all good things!"
"Without any relatives or reasons, what does he mean by giving us so much property... Is it not a conspiracy of the Yan State or the Rouran people?"
The fort commander was a little worried.
"Zhang San said that he is a descendant of the Zhang family of Jingnan Bo and the nephew of Zhang Su, the current Jingnan Bo..."
"It turns out to be the crown prince of the Zhang family!"
The fort commander was in awe. After a while, he suddenly screamed and hurriedly chased him out: "Confused! What a confused man. This place is so dangerous. How could Mr. Zhang be put in danger? Chase him back quickly!"
But before running a few steps, the fort commander suddenly remembered something: "He, what did he say his name was?"
"Zhang San."
"……I go!"
The fort commander fell to the ground. Then he remembered what he had said to Su Wen when Su Wen entered the fort.
They are all bad words about the lone thief, "The Villain Zhang San".
"Fort Commander, no way..."
Seeing the fort commander losing his composure, his subordinates also realized something: "Master Zhang San, is he the villain Zhang San?"
"...Don't talk nonsense! Young Master Zhang is a very kind man!" The fort commander glared at his men fiercely: "Have you ever seen a thief who delivers medicine and food to the officers and soldiers?"
"I also sent food and cloth to the villagers..."
Someone spoke up to help.
"exactly……"
"The real situation must be that Mr. Zhang San was acting chivalrously and got rid of these evil-doing horse bandits. He was maliciously slandered by them. We have to help him refute the rumors!" The chief of the fort waved his hand: "Everyone, please remember, if you don't believe it,
Don’t spread rumors, take the initiative to refute them! If anyone spreads rumors about Mr. Zhang, kill him!"
"etc……"
The fort commander waved his hand: "Young Master Zhang doesn't even defend himself... He must have a deep meaning. Let's not mention this matter for now. Don't tell anyone who comes. Mr. Zhang has been here before..."
The fort commander is a talented person, otherwise he would not be sent to the frontier fort as the fort commander. After spending decades in the army, he always feels that things are not that simple.
After giving instructions to his men and the villagers on the border, the fort commander returned to his residence, took out the seal from the darkness, and sent the message to Shangfeng.
…
"Are you the villain Zhang San?"
Not long after leaving the border fort, Su Wen ran into a group of horse bandits.
However, judging from the horse bandits' clothing and dress, there are obvious boundaries. Several groups of horse bandits were put together.
Su Wen also heard that the leader of a large tribe had given out a bounty. Whoever could get his head to claim the bounty would get an equal volume of gold back.
Many horse thieves took action after hearing the news, but they all knew that they were not strong enough to make such a deal, so they joined forces to cause trouble for Su Wen.
"...It should be me."
Although Su Wen knew that the "villain Zhang San" was him, based on the description he heard, it was quite different from his appearance.
Of course, he had heard of no less than ten versions of "Villain Zhang San".
What I heard at first was that he looked a bit like him, but the more I heard about it, the more outrageous it became. The description given by the defender of the border fort was quite fresh, and there was even a legend that the villain Zhang San was a giant with two heads, eight legs, and hands.
If you tear apart a tiger and leopard, you can eat half a horse in one bite.
"Are you planning to kill me to collect the reward?"
Su Wen looked around and saw that although the number of horse bandits was large, their quality was worrying. There were less than one third of the extraordinary ones, but there were about five or six of the sequence two ones, but the aura was so mixed that Su Wen felt that it was impossible.
They are called extraordinary beings. They must have used strange means to forcibly dissolve the secret medicine they took, allowing them to possess the power of extraordinary beings.
But when using this power, it is also a kind of destruction to themselves, and they will definitely pay a heavy price.
Their extraordinary abilities will destroy their bodies within a few uses, and eventually turn them into a mass of material rich in corrupted properties.
"It's good if you know. Then show your neck. My old black knife is fast enough. I guarantee you won't... uh..."
Before Lao Hei finished speaking, a big knife flew towards him and cut off his head in one fell swoop. A column of blood spurted out from his neck, splattering all the companions around him.
"call……"
The broadsword spun around and returned to Su Wen's hand.
"Good knife!"
Su Wen couldn't help but admire him. He got this sword from a horse bandit leader. Although it was not an extraordinary item, it had been stained with blood for many years and had acquired a sinister aura. It would not take more than a few years.
, it can become a very dangerous thing, and it will definitely have the nature of devouring its owner.
But after being suppressed by Su Wen's literary energy, the sword became extremely tame. When not in use, the aura was restrained. Only after seeing blood, the ferocious aura was reactivated, making the horse bandits around him shudder.
"You, you killed Black Friday?!"
The horse bandit shouted in surprise: "You, why don't you obey the rules at all?!"
They regard Su Wen as a lone thief. Since he is a thief, he can be considered a companion with the horse bandits. A lone thief works alone, while the horse bandits work in a group.
According to the rules of the road, both parties must exchange a few words before fighting. If the atmosphere is harmonious, they will not even go to war. Of course, a thief like Su Wen who is wanted by all forces cannot enjoy the treatment of turning war into friendship, but
You still have to follow the rules of the road when you are going about your business!
"rule?"
Su Wen felt strange: "Didn't you say that whoever has a strong fist and a sharp knife has the rules?"
Holding the big knife, Su Wen took two steps forward: "I'm in a good mood today, if you get out now you can live!"
"Pooh!"
One of the fierce bandits spat at Su Wen: "Brothers, kill him! There are more than a hundred of us, even if we line up for him to kill him, we have to kill him in the middle of the night! We are not cowards!"
"..." Listening to this, Su Wen was speechless for a while: "Are you here to kill me, or are you waiting in line to deliver food? Are you so enlightened?"
