The setting sun shines down from the western sky, forming a rainbow over the valley.
On both sides of the peaceful valley, hidden in the dense forest, were more than thirty men in black.
These people were dressed in black shorts, black hats, and their faces were covered. They held bright steel knives in their hands and stared unblinkingly at the passers-by in the valley.
Around noon, there were quite a few pedestrians.
As of now, there are no people around.
These men in black have been waiting here all day, and now they are sleepy and tired.
There was an unmasked bearded man in the middle, named Dou Gou, who was a guard of Dou Mansion in Tongzhou.
These thirty people were bandits wandering around the area.
Everyone was summoned here by Dou Gou to intercept and kill Du He.
According to the previous information, Du He and his party should have passed by this place yesterday. However, everyone waited here for a day and no one was seen. They waited for another day today and still no movement.
Dou Gou was depressed.
Is Duhe Duhe riding a turtle?
Seeing that it was getting dark, he stood up and said: "Brothers, it seems that our enemies will not come today, but just in case, everyone can deal with it here tonight, and there is no need to go back."
It’s a copycat.”
Everyone agreed and started to light a fire to cook and eat.
Soon, night swallowed up the earth.
In the mountain stream, ghosts, gods and others lurked and moved forward cautiously.
Someone said: "Brother Gui, we have been out for at least fifty miles. Not to mention people, not even a mouse has been seen. The young master asked us to rush back before dark. Go back, brothers are all hungry!"
The ghost thought for a while and said: "Wait a little longer. When the brothers in front come back, we will turn back! The young master naturally has his own reasons for doing things. This is Tongzhou, not Chang'an. If the troubles on the road are not cleared away, we will
There will be big trouble!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dark figure hurriedly coming from the front.
"Brother Gui, there are fires in front of you, and there are quite a few people there. They look like bandits around you!" the man said.
The ghost's eyes turned cold: "Bandits? Bandits can't stay in the stronghold, but there are definitely ghosts next to this fortress. Send two brothers back to report the news. Others, follow me!"
Swish swish swish.
Under the guidance of ghosts and gods, everyone took advantage of the night to touch it.
…
Its daybreak.
The weather was still so cold in the morning and evening.
Dou Gou took everyone around to hunt a wild boar last night, roasted it and ate it like this. The taste was very special and very satisfying.
He slowly opened his eyes, preparing to call everyone out and continue to intercept and kill Du He.
Um?
Suddenly, Dou Gou was shocked.
He found that he was completely naked, and then hung from a tree.
There were more than thirty people hanging on a towering tree.
Dou Gou's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Who, who did it?"
Several people came down from the tree, led by a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
It's Du He.
Du He looked at the big tree full of people with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Dou Gou and asked: "This young master did it, Dou Gou, do you know me?"
Dou Gou's eyes widened, and when he took a closer look, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Duhe..."
He had never met Du He in person, but he had seen no less than twenty portraits of Du He, all of which Dou Aiwei asked someone to get from Chang'an.
Dou Gou shook his head hurriedly: "No, I don't know you. I don't know who you are. Put us down quickly!"
Du He waved his hand.
The people next to him hurriedly stepped forward and put Dou Gou and others down.
Everyone only remembered that after eating and drinking last night, they found a place to sleep. As for what happened next, they knew nothing about it. They only knew that they were hung from a tree as soon as they opened their eyes, and their whole bodies were numbed by the cold wind.
Dou Gou stared at Du He and asked: "This strong man, I don't know you. We have no grudges with you in the past or in recent times. Why do you hang us on the tree?"
Du He sneered and said: "Dou Gou, the matter has come to this and you are still pretending to be stupid. What do you think this is?"
Du He took out a piece of paper.
Dou Gou's expression changed.
That was the interception plan he received.
No wonder Du He knows his name.
His eyes turned cold.
I thought to myself, it's probably impossible to leave now, so I might as well just keep doing it...
He raised his head and said, "Yes, I am Dou Gou. I also know you, Du He, the Marquis of Huyi County. I have something to tell you!"
"Oh? He who knows the current affairs is a hero, good job!"
Dou Gou stepped forward and approached Du He. Suddenly he stood up, picked up a big stone, and threw it at Du He.
This guy was a desperado in his early years. He was engaged in the business of killing people and selling goods. His hands were stained with a lot of blood and he killed people without blinking an eye. Later, he defected to the Dou family. Because of his strong kung fu and courage, he was deeply loved by Dou Aiwei and has always been his wife.
Cultivate as a confidant.
Dou Gou has a strong body. If a stone falls, not to mention a person, even an ox will be killed by him on the spot.
Dou Gou's eyes were full of smiles.
So what about the Marquis of Huyi County!
As long as I can kill you!
I will enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on.
Beside, a black shadow suddenly appeared and kicked Dou Gou in the waist.
boom.
There was a muffled sound.
Dou Gou suddenly fell to the ground, and the stone in his hand also fell to the ground.
Lu Bu said coldly: "Death!"
With that said, he stepped forward and prepared to kill Dou Gou.
Du He said: "Slow down!"
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside.
Dou Gou struggled to get up and looked at Du He: "You won't kill me?"
"Why should I kill you? Keeping you is still useful to me...but..."
"But what?" Dou Gou asked curiously.
Without looking back, Du He suddenly pulled out the knife from the guard beside him and swung it under Dou Gou's body.
Swish.
The thing hooked by Dou was cut off and flew out.
Blood sprayed.
"ah……"
Dou Gou covered his lower body and let out a scream.
He had been hung naked on a tree before. After he was put down, he only thought about killing people and had no time to put on clothes, so he was very conspicuous. Du He cut him cleanly with one knife.
Dou Gou rolled on the ground in pain, and soon passed out.
Du He waved his hand: "Drag him down to stop the bleeding. He can't die yet. Keeping him will be useful to me!"
"yes!"
Du He then turned around and looked at the remaining thirty bandits.
"I don't like killing people. What I like most is to have people cut off their descendants. Who else is dissatisfied? Come forward!" Du He asked loudly.
Everyone covered their lower bodies and quickly stepped back.
Du He waved his hand and called the ghosts and gods: "Bring all these people to Yakouzhai and bring Dou Gou with you. Use the shortest time to select the available people and train them so that they will be useful in the future... By the way,
Send the things on the ground to the Dou Family Master!"
"Yes, Master!"
The ghost thought to himself that the young master is planning to do something big, so he said excitedly.
Du He turned around and said: "Let's go and arrive at Dali County before noon today."
