"It stands to reason that Tiezhu and the others should have arrived yesterday!" At the entrance of a deep mine under the mountain, two big men dressed in animal skins were surrounding a fire with a pot of wine beside them.
The man with the scar on his face took a sip of wine and said: "Don't worry! There are no other ferocious beasts in Zhou Bin except the wolf. Those beasts will not have the courage to go past them when they see hundreds of people!"
Another big man picked up the wine and took a sip, looking at the heavy snow falling outside: "I don't know how long it will snow for!"
Scarface smiled: "Why, do you miss your mother-in-law?"
Another big man smiled like a man knows how to smile: "Of course I do, a wifeless guy like you doesn't know what it's like!"
Scar's face turned red: "I'm waiting for the military advisor's daughter to grow up, otherwise you'd think it's your turn!"
"Hey, the toad wants to eat the swan meat!" The man ruthlessly mocked: "You can get your hands on the military advisor's daughter?"
"Wait, old man..." Scarface heard news from outside before he could finish his words.
Zhang Qingyun walked in the front. Li Xiang and the other eight people holding swords did not change their clothes. The remaining twenty-two people wore the linen clothes they were wearing outside to cover the wolf skins inside.
A rope seemed to be tied to their hands, and they were walking feebly, holding sticks as crutches.
Zhang Qingyun's heart was beating very fast, the weather was very cold, but he felt very hot.
Li Xiang followed him, and the group of people slowly walked towards the mine. Two big men about 1.8 meters tall appeared at the entrance of the cave, looking at them warily.
When Zhang Qingyun saw the two of them, he shouted as calmly as possible: "Brother Dafu, Brother Scar!"
Due to the heavy snowfall and Zhang Qingyun's thick clothes, they did not recognize Zhang Qingyun immediately. As soon as Zhang Qingyun's voice came out, they knew who was in front of them, Zhang Qingyun, a disciple of the military advisor.
The two recognized Zhang Qingyun, but they did not recognize Li Xiang and his party who were a little behind. They put their hands on the hilts of their knives and asked, "Who are they?"
Zhang Qingyun made a somewhat proud voice: "These people are the brothers that the teacher recruited from the small town some time ago. The teacher gave them to me. Now I am also a small boss, and those people behind are the big gangsters."
The officers and soldiers over there who were let go, regardless of their size, have lost all their martial arts and have only one strength left. The teacher asked me to take them over to dig mines for a few days to calm down their arrogance."
"So that's it, come in quickly!" The scarred face looked at Zhang Qingyun's Li Xiang and his party with some envy. Every big man was taller than him, and he was a good player at first glance: "By the way, where is your brother Tiezhu?"
Sure enough, having a backer is really important. If you have a backer like a military advisor, and if these people come under your control, it won't be...
The two of them did not doubt Zhang Qingyun's words. They had been in the mine for more than two months. Every year, many people came to the town to bring some people back. Zhang Qingyun's teacher, the military advisor of Qingzhu Village, did not
Every year a large number of people are brought back from there.
"Brother, he is behind. He met the wolf last night and confronted them all night. Not only did he drive those beasts away, but he was afraid that you would be impatient, so he asked me to bring these people over first!"
As he said that, Li Xiang had already moved to the side of the two of them, and Li Mu was on the other side. Scarface and the big man turned around and led Zhang Qingyun into the mine.
Li Xiang was not in a hurry to take action. There was a wooden wall in the cave. When he saw them coming, the people guarding the wooden wall immediately opened the door.
Li Xiang lowered his head with a fierce look on his face. Li Mu and Li Jinzhuang looked around curiously. There were only a few people behind this wooden wall. There were twelve people. Including the two in front, there were fourteen in total.
an enemy.
They pretended to be very relaxed and were really ready to go. They would just wait for Li Xiang to make a move.
Zhang Qingyun was talking with the two people, but the sweat on his forehead was getting more and more. He thought that Li Xiang would take action at the entrance of the mine, but he did not expect that Li Xiang would be so bold and lead his troops into the mine.
Li Xiang stretched out his hand to touch his hair. The militiamen behind him looked down at the bandits on both sides. These bandits did not pay attention to them. They chatted lazily, or lay on the rocks, with the fire in the cave shining on their faces.
.
All the lighting in the cave is torches, and the light from outside cannot reach inside.
Damn!
Suddenly the sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard, and the two people in front heard it. Just as one of them was about to turn around, Li Xiang slashed hard with the sword in his hand.
puff!
Zhang Qingyun paused on the spot, motionless, warm blood sprinkled on his face, and the cold horizontal knife stayed on the side of his neck.
The head of another big man also fell to the ground. The Xiliang militia suddenly rose up, which was something these people did not expect.
Those who seemed to be tied up were hit with thick sticks, and the one with the knife even hacked a comrade to death with several cuts.
Li Xiang drew his knife and rushed over there, hacking the two robbers to death. In his eyes, these robbers were experience and capital for becoming stronger.
Fourteen people were killed in just two minutes. The supervisor who was supervising the mining workers heard the screams outside, ran out from inside, and saw the bodies lying on the ground in the light of the fire.
The six supervisors looked nervously at Li Xiang and his party. Li Xiang licked his lips, and the horizontal knife in his hand was still bleeding. The other militiamen picked up the enemy's weapons, including sixteen long knives. Almost all the Xiliang militiamen were equipped with weapons.
The six overseers were on the verge of death, and both commanders were killed. Can the six of them stop these people in front of them?
The six people looked at Zhang Qingyun. They still didn't know what happened. Zhang Qingyun and the others had seen them before. Zhang Qingyun should have brought these people here.
"I've met Commander Zhang!" The quickest among the six people immediately said respectfully to Zhang Qingyun.
The other five people quickly said: "I have met Commander Zhang!"
Li Xiang watched the changes in the faces of the six people with great interest, smiled and said to Zhang Qingyun: "How do you plan to solve it?"
The six people heard what Li Xiang said, and from Li Xiang's voice, they knew that Zhang Qingyun did not seem to be the leader of this incident, but that the fierce man seemed to be.
The six people made a decision and knelt on the ground, regardless of the rubble on the ground: "Sir, we are willing to surrender!"
Surrender is very casual in the northwest. They will surrender to whoever is stronger. Only by keeping their lives can they have a future!
Li Xiang looked at the six people. These people can be kept. There are not many people in the camp. If these people are left to mine, there is no need to worry about them running out. The ones guarding the mine gate will be the Xiliang militia.
"Put down your weapons, and I will guarantee your safety. If you don't believe it, you can try not putting down your weapons!"
Li Xiang raised the horizontal sword in his hand, and the other soldiers looked at the bandits hungrily. If these bandits didn't surrender, they could gain more experience!
