The townspeople were stunned, and they were all stunned on the spot for a while. It took a while for some of them to wake up, drop what they were holding, and move toward the fort gate to surround them.
There were a total of fourteen corpses, a pair of old sheepskin waistcoats, narrow-sleeved cotton jackets, wristbands, cowhide belts around the waist, and long boots underneath. Looking at the clothes, they could tell that they were horse thieves who frightened the townspeople, but now these horse thieves are all
They have become dead ghosts, most of them have bloody holes in their throats, and the other three are even worse, with bloody holes all over their bodies. How could this horse thief suddenly appear in the castle, and how could he turn into a corpse inexplicably?
, everyone is puzzled.
"Who did this?" an uncle said to himself.
"We killed them." I heard a reply from above my head, the tone was calm, as if they just killed a few chickens.
The townspeople looked up and saw thirteen figures lined up on the fort wall, standing majestic. Each of them had a long knife stuck in their waist. One of them was carrying a hunting bow and it was Yuan Feng. The others were
The people all looked very familiar, they were the grown-ups in Baozi who were hated by everyone.
These thirteen boys ranged in age and size. The younger ones held out their chests as hard as they could, with proud faces, trying their best to pretend to be adults, while the older ones had their chests open.
Holding the front of his leather jacket, he put one hand on his hip and cast his eyes towards the distant sky, feeling an indescribable feeling of loneliness and heroism.
Many of them still had the blood of horse thieves on their bodies and faces, and they were reluctant to wipe it off. The rising sunlight shone on them, and they really looked like thirteen gods of war.
The townspeople were a little stunned. Is this the same doll that peed on the bed all day long and clamored for maltose? Was it still the unfilial son who was disobedient and always liked to steal chickens and dogs? These dolls actually committed such horrific acts overnight.
, and they, the parents, don’t even know, which makes them somewhat hesitant and somewhat relieved: the baby has grown up.
A roar broke the calm: "Xiaoer, if you don't go home all night, you want to die!" An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl came over angrily and yelled at Meng Xiaoer on the fort wall.
The girl came closer, but she didn't see the body surrounded by people. She only saw her brother on the wall. She put her hands on her hips and continued to curse: "What are you doing up there? Come down quickly. Look at my sister. I won't twitch."
Die to you."
Meng Xiaoer was so frightened that he wanted to hide behind others, but when he saw his brothers who remained motionless, he regained his confidence. He blushed and waved to his sister: "I'm going to do business tonight, don't you be a woman?"
Understand."
The girl was so angry that she couldn't help but break up the crowd and rush to the fortress wall to arrest people. However, after the crowd moved away, she first saw the fourteen bloody corpses, and then thought of her brother's words of "doing business", which frightened her*
*Sitting on the ground.
All the brothers gave Meng Xiaoer a thumbs up, and Meng Xiaoer scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. Yuan Feng saw that the sex was almost done, so he led the people down the fortress wall and explained to everyone.
Everything that happened last night.
The thirteen young men headed by Yuan Feng have become a tight-knit group after fighting side by side last night. While listening to Zhao Ding'an telling his uncles and aunts what happened, they proudly puffed up their chests and eyes.
But he was searching for his mother-in-law in the crowd. I don't know how happy my mother-in-law was when this earth-shattering event happened.
After listening to Zhao Ding'an's explanation, the townspeople finally had another brush with death tomorrow and last night. They couldn't help but cursed Lao Suntou and others. These masters who were in charge of the house were just inviting wolves into the house. They were not as good as these boys.
What's going on.
Yesterday, Lao Suntou and others drank a lot and didn't get up until daylight. They were swaying around in their fur coats and wanted to go to the flagpole in the center of the town to bask in the sun and show off their awesomeness for a while, but found that the place was already crowded with people.
The two horse thieves knelt under the flagpole and shivered. They were thrown into the fort gate overnight yesterday. They were lucky not to freeze to death. They are now being tried. Zhao Dingan moved a rotten wooden box from nowhere.
It was placed on the table as a public case, and Yuan Feng sat in the back to interrogate the case. On both sides stood four young men with long knives in their belts, looking high-spirited.
Deng Ziming, the shopkeeper of the caravan, Zhao, the boss of the blacksmith shop, Hu Laizi, Zhang Tuozi and others also came after hearing the news. They were all petrified by the corpses there and did not even dare to interrupt. That was it.
Listening quietly to Yuan Feng's trial.
In fact, there is no trial. We just want to find out how many people participated in this sneak attack. What was the situation inside the horse thief gang after Du Yi Dao died. The two horse thieves knew everything and talked about it, especially those who were caught later.
The young horse thief named Ye Kai, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, even spilled the beans on the internal disputes among the horse thieves.
It turns out that Du Yi Dao has more than a hundred brothers. Besides him, there are four other masters, each of whom has a group of brothers. Since they are all horse thieves gangs recruited by Du Yi Dao, they are not united. When Du Yi Dao was there,
He could still hold it down, but this death caused chaos. On that day, they fought for the position of the big boss. More than a dozen people died. The four bosses were divided into two factions. The second boss and the fifth boss were on the same side, and the third boss and the fourth boss were on the same side.
The leader was one, and the two sides were evenly matched, so they agreed that whoever killed Yuan Feng first to avenge Duyi Dao would be the leader. So the fourth leader quickly used his brains and sent Wang Xiaoer to infiltrate Deng Ziming's caravan.
, followed the caravan all the way to the night attack.
In the final analysis, the horse thieves are still not united. Cao Shangfei only has a dozen or so confidants. If he joins forces with others to attack, with thirty or forty men, Shibali Fort may not be able to withstand it.
But they all want to eat alone, so there is no way to win.

After hearing Ye Kai's confession, Deng Ziming felt ashamed. He originally wanted to repay his benefactor, but instead led the wolf into the house and almost destroyed the fort. He fell to his knees with a plop, slapped himself with both hands, and begged the villagers for forgiveness.
"I just thought he was a man from Guanzhong who was living in a foreign land. I wanted to do a good deed and bring him home, but he turned out to be a spy. I have lived for more than thirty years in vain. I deserve to die! I am so ashamed!" Deng Ziming said with tears in his eyes.
.
Yuan Feng knew that this was indeed not Deng Ziming's responsibility, so he said: "Bodhisattva, shopkeeper Deng, has a heart that was taken advantage of by bad guys. Fortunately, Bodhisattva also blocked the hole for you. There were no casualties in our fort. Instead, we caught all the thieves, and you don't have to."
I blame myself too much."
Deng Ziming stood up and stood aside with a face of shame.
Old Sun Touqi said: "Brother Feng, how did you know there was a spy in the caravan? If you found out, why didn't you tell us earlier? Wouldn't we have a better chance of winning against the horse thieves together?"
Yuan Feng said: "I'm just guessing. I don't have any real evidence. Even if I say it, will you believe it? Instead, it will scare the snake and make the spies hide deeper. Last night, we just acted according to the situation. If Wang Xiaoer had followed the rules, naturally there would be no such thing.
Something happened."
Everyone thought that this was indeed the case. Deng Ziming was a guest from afar, so he couldn't just pull out the guys in his team for interrogation indiscriminately. Moreover, although Yuan Feng was good at martial arts, his strategic skills were not recognized by the adults.
Even if he raised questions last night, these people might not listen.
But after this incident, Yuan Feng's status in everyone's hearts became even more important. It was a matter of life and death for Baozi, and he had to make the decision.
Fourteen horse thieves, twenty horses, more than twenty long and short knives, and a number of gold and silver treasures and ornaments. The horse thieves have no fixed residence and carry their personal property with them. This time, they are cheaper than the Eighteen Mile Fort.
However, these gold and silver were intercepted by Yuan Feng and other young men and used as their secret treasury. There were five gold bars, 860 taels of silver, some hairpins, hairpins and other items in total, which was quite a fortune.
The two prisoners in Shibalibao did not intend to keep them, nor did they intend to kill them. Anyway, they were not extremely vicious people, so it was better to let them go back. Yuan Feng also agreed with this, and the one named Wang Xiaoer had a mournful face.
No matter what he said, the man named Ye Kai looked reluctant and hesitated to speak. When Yuan Feng saw this, he beat Wang Xiaoer first and asked him to get out of the fort and run for his life.
After Wang Xiaoer left, Ye Kai revealed his true feelings. It turned out that he had no relatives and was a bullied leader among the horse thieves. Now that this matter happened again, he wanted to join Yuan Feng's small group and become one of them.
A member.
Yuan Feng saw that he was smart and of similar age and easy to communicate with. He was willing to accept him, but was afraid of being unsafe, so he said: "You can join us if you want, but we also accept a certificate of application."
Ye Kaidao: "What is a Certificate of Voting?"
Yuan Feng explained: "This is what proves that you can join us..." He pulled Ye Kai to a corner and talked for a while. Ye Kai came out with a bitter face and said nothing more. Yuan Feng said: "Give him a
Just let him go back."
These horses were all snatched by Yuan Feng, so he was naturally qualified to distribute them, and no one would make irresponsible remarks. Ye Kai left on a horse, and the brothers asked Yuan Feng what certificate he wanted.
Yuan Feng smiled and did not answer, but said that you will understand when the time comes.
This battle was very fruitful. Except for two dead horses that were given to Hu Laizi and one that was ridden away by Ye Kai, the rest were left by Yuan Feng to serve as mounts for the small group. These horses and the horses in the fort
It's different, it's a war horse, so it's very suitable for them.
Originally, Deng Ziming planned to stay in the town for a few days and entertain his elders. But now that something like this happened, he was too embarrassed to stay any longer. He led the caravan guys on the road back home. As for Zhang Tietou, he stayed behind.
I'm at home and will start working again when the caravan comes next spring.
The teenagers didn't sleep all night, relying on their energy to hold on. Now they all started to doze off after finishing their work. Yuan Feng asked them all to go home and sleep. He only brought a man named Wang Xiaoga on horseback to send the caravan away.
It was a long way out, and no one knew what was said on the way.
