"Then what should we do now? Why don't we continue to grab things and leave them alone!"
The man asked the leader carefully. When he talked about grabbing things, he subconsciously touched his bulging chest.
It is filled with the gold and silver he grabbed along the way, enough to keep him moist for the rest of his life!
Originally, he was very dissatisfied with the young master's move of letting them play the role of refugees!
But since they instigated the refugees for the first time and attacked a small county town, and looked at the ruins and looted property, they immediately felt like wild beasts smelling blood for the first time, completely releasing the emotions in their hearts.
That devil!
Robbery! Burn and kill!
From then on, they were like demons who fell into hell! Wherever they went, they were like locusts passing by!
Not only did they rob food, gold and silver, they even robbed tables, chairs and benches in other people's houses! Some things that couldn't be taken away were also smashed and burned by them, just to satisfy their perverted desire for destruction!
At the beginning, they still remembered the young master's words, only destroy, not hurt anyone!
But soon, after "accidentally" killing an old landlord who was guarding a treasure chest, they threw the rule of not harming human life into oblivion!
Anyway, among the countless rioters, who knows who was responsible for the attack?
So until now, these people are carrying a lot of lives on their bodies! Most of the looted property is stained with blood!
"Ignore them?"
The man at the head had some hesitation in his expression when he heard his subordinates' inquiry. These days, he has been completely silent and unable to extricate himself from the pleasure of destruction.
However, as a dead soldier raised by the Li family, he still understands the horror of his young master better than others!
So after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "No! Now that you have discovered them, you must report them to the young master! Don't forget, your family and mine are all at the young master's place!"
"this……"
When the subordinate heard what the boss said, the excitement on his face solidified little by little. It was only then that he remembered that he was not the mountain king in the countryside, but a thug of the Li family with a mission!
"Okay! Don't hesitate! Get everyone up! Let's contact the young master!"
Now that he had made his decision, the leading man did not hesitate, scolded him, and walked out of the village.
Behind him, some refugees wearing various clothes, carrying various chickens, ducks and belongings, and even with blood stains on their bodies also yawned and followed lazily.
But not long after they left, a little fire suddenly appeared in this quiet village, and then the fire slowly grew bigger, and finally enveloped the entire village, and a thick smoke shot straight into the sky!
Shandong during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was actually much, much bigger than the Shandong Peninsula in later generations!
At this time, Shandong generally refers to the vast area east of Mount Wei and Hangu Pass, including large areas such as Henan and Hebei in later generations. The territory is extremely vast.
Therefore, Xiao Han and others were almost not far from Luoyang to the east, and could be said to have entered the territory of Shandong. However, there was still a long distance from Huazhou, the center of the flood.
"Huazhou, Huazhou, why is it still so far away!"
Holding the map, Liu Hongji was studying the journey ahead boredly, when he suddenly glanced back unintentionally, and his whole body was immediately stunned!
"Xiao Han! Look, is there a fire there?" Looking at the sky in the distance, Liu Hongji asked Xiao Han with a trembling voice!
Although they were already far away from there, the thick smoke rising into the sky couldn't cover it up no matter what!
"It's burning! The location seems to be the village we passed by!"
When Xiao Han heard Liu Hongji's words, he also looked back! At this glance, he immediately identified the location of the fire, which was the weird village just now!
"This fire will not burn for no reason. There was someone there just now..."
I almost thought of this! After the two looked at each other, they immediately turned their horses' heads without hesitation and galloped towards the road they came from!
If the situation was unclear just now, for the sake of caution, the two of them did not choose to trespass!
Now that they were sure that there was someone behind them, the two of them could never sit idly by and let those people hang behind their tails like ghosts.
"Who set this fire!"
And just when Xiao Han and the others were riding back, the man who left the village was furious and sternly questioning the refugees who followed him!
Not all of these refugees are Li family members.
In fact, among them, there are only five or six real Li family members, and the rest are all desperadoes they selected from the refugee ranks.
From the beginning, he just wanted to have food to eat, but gradually he became an accomplice who followed them to attack cities and forts, killing people and grabbing goods!
"not me!"
"Not me either!"
Seeing the angry look of the boss, the refugees dressed in different shapes immediately shook their heads and said that they were not the ones who started the fire!
"It wasn't you who set the fire, could it be set by ghosts?" The man looked at these people with anger on his face, and in his heart he only wanted to cut the person who set the fire into pieces!
Xiao Han and the others hadn't gone far yet. Wouldn't setting fire at this time be a message to them?
"Perhaps, someone who was not dead accidentally knocked over the oil lamp!"
Someone in the crowd murmured weakly, which immediately attracted a group of people to agree, although they also knew that this was pure nonsense!
Although the village just now was not big, they failed to trick the door and when they forced their way in, they encountered the fiercest resistance! Dozens of brothers died as a result.
Therefore, after entering the village, they went crazy and slaughtered all the people in the village, including the pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks!
If Xiao Han's team hadn't suddenly been spotted passing by in the middle, the place would have turned into a white field. How could anyone have survived?
Moreover, even if someone survives, he should find a way to go out and report the matter to the government to avenge him. How could he set himself on fire?
"Boss, don't worry about who set the fire! They may have gone back! Let's run!"
Seeing that it was already this time, the boss was still clinging to the matter of arson, while the other man was very anxious and glanced towards the road from time to time!
"Run? How can two legs run better than four legs?" The refugee boss laughed miserably, his eyes filled with despair.
If they were in the village just now, they would still be sure to take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight the legendary Xiao Hou!
So at this moment, on this wide plain road, what are they going to do to fight with others? I'm afraid they don't need to take action. Just one charge from them is enough to smash them into pieces, right?
