The bandit leader was taken aback. When he saw something was wrong, he became fierce and fierce. He drew his knife to kill and shouted: "Brothers, do it!"
Now that he has been discovered, he must either die himself or kill the other person, there is no other way!
Following this shout, the robbers' accomplices lurking in the darkness came out of their hiding places and rushed forward with steel knives in hand.
At this time, the bandit leader was still very confident.
The herdsmen and the contract workers lived relatively far away, and were isolated by formations. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, the men he sent out were enough to scare these people.
The remaining ones that are more difficult to handle are the twenty or thirty generals.
There were two to three hundred of them!
One out of ten!
Even if they are from a general family, so what? Those who came from a wealthy family may have never seen blood, and they are all real robbers who lick blood with their swords. When it comes time to fight, they rely on bloody courage!
The bandit leader was thinking this, and then he heard a shout from the other side: "Array in formation——"
The generals who had not been seen before suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye. They were all wearing strong armor and had a solemn military appearance.
"The speed is a bit slow!" Qing Yue's voice sounded, and she saw the noble young master from the capital walking out in the darkness. Although he held a sword in his hand, his steps were leisurely.
He walked up to the queue and said lightly: "Starting tomorrow, the training intensity will be increased by 20%."
The generals looked bitter, but they still responded in unison: "Yes, Young Master!"
This indifferent attitude angered the bandit leader.
"Come on, brothers! Kill them, and this place belongs to us!"
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows: "You are quite ambitious. Not only do you want to rob things, but you also want to occupy my territory?"
Ah Wan came out of the house dressed in a smart outfit: "Sir, what nonsense are you talking to them about? We'll kill them before we talk!"
As soon as she appeared, the robbers all swallowed their saliva and looked fascinated. Ah Wan was so disgusted that she raised her hand and said, "If you dare to look at this girl like that, you're going to gouge out your eyes!"
Yang Shu frowned slightly, also very unhappy, and waved his hand: "Take them down!"
"Yes!" The generals shouted in unison and immediately attacked.
…
Master Hou looked at the racecourse shrouded in a barrier with a satisfied smile on his face.
This is the foundation of his life and the reason why he can gain the right to speak in the den of robbers.
That Xuanshi is not here, let's see who can break his formation!
"Woo..."
The faint sound of the flute sounded in the night and dispersed in the wind, making it especially peaceful.
Master Hou looked at the crescent moon in the sky and was aroused by deep thoughts.
I remember when he was young, he thought that he would be able to stand out based on his own skills. Who would have thought that if he made a mistake, he would make mistakes every step of the way. Today, he has no father, no mother, no wife, no children, and is alone with nothing to live up to.
A thief keeps company.
I dare not recall my hometown, and I don’t know where my bones will be buried in the future. Maybe there won’t even be a grave on the day of my death, so I will just tear up the mat and throw it into the wild, or even be buried in the belly of a wild beast, and never have peace.
There were already some tears in Hou Dajiang's eyes.
I even thought, so what if I succeed today? If I occupy this horse farm, I will only be free for a while. These bandits are not good at business. When the young master's property is squandered, I am afraid he will still have to rob for a living.
As he thought about it, his decadent mood completely overwhelmed him, and he almost wanted to leave it all behind, leave the den of thieves at night, and live a free life.
Suddenly a gust of night wind blew, and the slight coolness made him wake up instantly, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Where does the sound of the flute come from in the middle of the night?
Although he is grateful for his life experience, he has managed everything he has today, so how can he throw it away casually?
The sound of the flute seems to have the effect of confusing people!
He picked up the magic talisman, recited a mantra silently, and put it on his forehead, feeling that his consciousness was slightly clearer.
The sound of the flute stopped, and a voice sounded faintly: "You are a little more capable than I thought. With a little guidance, you can officially enter Xuanmen. Why bother to be a master in a den of thieves, and you can't make sense with a group of people?"
A robber as a companion?"
The voice was so close, the other party seemed to be right in front of him, and Master Hou suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Who?" He looked around, feeling panicked.
"I'm here!" the voice reminded him lazily.
Master Hou turned his head and finally saw the person.
On the city wall that was just half built, there stood a girl holding a flute in her hand. The night wind was blowing her sleeves and clothes, as if she would ride the wind back in the next moment.
"you--"
Master Hou was shocked. He only knew that the person who was transferred was Xuanshi, but he didn't know that she was too!
It was so close, but the barrier didn't react at all.
Mingwei jumped off the city wall, walked around him twice, reached out and took off the talisman attached to his forehead.
"Having become a monk in the middle of the journey, I used all the magic talismans indiscriminately, making myself look like a zombie. It only makes the experts laugh. This thing is to activate the magic power, you know?"
After saying that, magic power escaped from her fingers, and the magic talisman turned into a light smoke and penetrated directly into the center of his eyebrows.
Master Hou was shocked at first, and waved his hands to stop him, but it was of no use. Then his brows froze, and his whole mind became clear.
Ming looked at him with a smile: "Do you understand? You just used it like that, and you couldn't even exert 10% of the effect."
Master Hou: "..."
So, he has been using the wrong method all along?
Mingwei's attention has turned to the barrier he set up.
"It's interesting. What you got is not the inheritance of Biyun Palace, is it? They are very good at formation formations and have excellent disguise skills. It's a pity that your magic power is still low. Otherwise, this racecourse will really be destroyed.
Total isolation.”
After hearing what she said, Mr. Hou was already in despair.
Not only was this fellow a profound scholar, but his level was also higher than mine.
Come on, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? This time it’s a mistake.
He sighed, as if he had finally let go of everything, and said with his head held high: "I am inferior to others in my certain skills. I have nothing to say. Let the girl do whatever she wants."
Mingwei tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then asked with a smile: "Are you convinced?"
Master Hou's eyes were full of sadness, but he said calmly: "I never thought that I would be able to live peacefully until the end of my life. Although I took this path by mistake, I did harm to others. Let's just think of it as retribution. I'm innocent.
You can talk!”
These words were sonorous and powerful, with a touch of sadness and regret, which made people feel emotional.
Master Hou raised his head again and sighed: "It's really no wonder that I ended up like this. I thought that when I was young, I studied hard and had lofty ambitions. I thought that I would be able to achieve a great career. Who would have thought that because of my fellow villagers' fraud, I would not be able to take the exam for the rest of my life!
After finally regaining consciousness, he returned to his hometown to farm and study. Unexpectedly, he was bullied by a large family to seize the land. His father became ill and passed away. His mother followed him a few months later, leaving the family in ruins. Later, his youngest son fell ill due to poverty and had to be treated for treatment.
Unexpectedly, the married wife was deeply affected and left with him. In just one year, her parents, wife and children were all lost, leaving her alone! In such a situation, she was framed by her enemies and had to leave her hometown. This was only possible.
I made a mistake and fell into a den of thieves."
Having said this, Master Hou's eyes filled with tears and he looked at Mingwei sincerely: "Girl, I made a mistake today. I cannot defend myself. After surviving for so many years, I can finally see my parents, wife and children!"
Mingwei stood still in front of him, stared at him for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Since you have nothing to say, why do you still talk so much?"
