"Be careful. I heard that the bandits of Cat Mountain are quite capable. Don't fail miserably. You didn't die on the battlefield but ended up in the hands of the bandits."
Qing Huai saw that Zhong Wu didn't care and reminded him.
"Lord Marquis, don't worry."
Zhong Wu smiled as he took off his armor.
There were two other guards who had changed into tattered clothes just like him.
The three of them didn't even take their crossbows. Instead, they carried their broken sabers and burrowed into the grass.
"Sir, let's go and watch the show."
Qing Huai stood up and walked to the small hill beside him.
...
On Cat Mountain, there was a thatched cottage. It looked no different from an ordinary mountain village, but there were no women or children.
In order to maintain the courage of the bandits, the boss did not allow women here. If he wanted women, he would go down the mountain to snatch them. After snatching them, he would go back to the mountain after he had enough fun at the foot of the mountain.
As for the women who were robbed, they might have been sold to illegal brothels or thrown into the wilderness.
A short bandit with a pointy mouth and ape-like cheeks ran up from the foot of the mountain. He panted as he rushed into a courtyard and shouted at the burly man holding the stone lock in the courtyard,
" Second Leader, there's news about Third Leader."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Where is Third Brother?!" The Second Leader threw away the stone lock.
After the baldy was chased out of the mountain by the boss, he always wandered around. He would come to him every ten days to half a month to ask for money.
However, in the past month or so, Baldy had not come. The Second Head realized that something might have happened to Baldy.
He sent people to inquire at the foot of the mountain.
However, there had been no news.
The short bandit looked at the second-in-charge fearfully and stammered.
The second-in-charge impatiently wanted to kick the little guy, but he raised his foot and put it down again.
The little guy was his loyal little brother and also his dog-headed military advisor. He usually helped him with many things, so he could not kick him like he did with other bandits.
"Did someone harm Third Brother?" he asked, suppressing his anger.
" Uh…I received news that 20 days ago, someone saw Third Master arguing with someone at Li Jiawan's casino and was thrown out by the casino's people…Third Master was not convinced and fought with the casino's people. He was…beaten to death by the casino's people…"
The short bandit recounted the news he had received.
This news was fake news that Qing Huai had deliberately let Zhang Liang spread. Even if the Second Leader was lucky enough to survive this time, he would not find Haijiao Village.
"No wonder we couldn't find Third Brother. It turned out that he died in Li Jiawan!"
The Second Leader slammed his fist on the table." Go and call the people. Call all the brothers out. Let's go and meet this casino!"
"Second Leader, don't be rash."
" It's hard to say if this news is accurate," the short man hurriedly said." It's not suitable to mobilize so many people."
Where there were people, there would be Jianghu. The bandits of Cat Mountain were not united. The First Leader and the Second Leader were not on good terms, so they chased Baldy away.
Recently, a subordinate of the First Master had made a mistake and was beaten half to death by the Second Master. The First Master was looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
The Second Leader thought for a moment and asked," You have a lot of ideas. What should we do?"
"Second Leader, this is what I think."
" Let's bring some people to Li Jiawan," the short man said." If the news is wrong, we'll ask around. If the third in charge was really killed by the casino, we'll find a fight with the casino…"
" It's best to injure one or two brothers. That way, I can come back and call for people to level the casino. The boss won't be able to say anything."
The second-in-charge immediately understood the little guy's plan.
Baldy was expelled from the mountain. Strictly speaking, he was a traitor of Cat Mountain. Even if he was killed, the Second Leader could not bring the bandits to avenge him.
However, if they were beaten up in the casino, it would be different.
The Cat Mountain bandits had to stand up for their second leader, or else their hearts would be scattered.
"Second Leader is wise."
The short guy quickly flattered.
"Go and tell Little Black to bring a few people. We're going to Li Jiawan to gamble!"
The Second Leader waved his hand.
The short man answered and ran out.
Soon, the Second Head brought his four trusted aides down the mountain and headed straight for Li Jiawan.
When they passed by a forest, three men suddenly rushed out.
"Hey, stop!"
Zhong Wu shouted," I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass by, leave behind some money!"
"You opened this road?"
After being a bandit for half his life, he was robbed at his own door. The second-in-charge was so angry that he laughed. I am the second head of Cat Mountain!"
" I don't care if you're a cat or a dog. Hurry up and get the money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Zhong Wu shouted fiercely.
"Kid, you look like a deserter, right? If you want to occupy the mountain, go somewhere else. There are already people here.
You're lucky that I don't have time to deal with you today. Get lost. If you haven't left when I come back, I'll skin you alive!"
The Second Head was in a hurry to go to Li Jiawan. He scolded Zhong Wu a few times and wanted to leave.
"I'll skin you first!"
Zhong Wu shouted and swung his long saber at a bandit.
This bandit was still watching the show. How could he have expected Zhong Wu to attack just like that?
He was directly chopped down by Zhong Wu.
The other two guards behind him also charged at the same time as Zhong Wu attacked. Each of them cut down a bandit.
In the blink of an eye, only the second head and the short man were left on the bandits 'side.
The Second Leader was finally afraid and said," Hero…"
He had just said two words when he was stabbed by Zhong Wu.
"Hero, spare me! Hero, spare me!"
The short man was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Go back and tell your Chief that I want this mountain. Tell him to get lost with his men!"
"Get lost!" Zhong Wu patted the little guy with the back of his saber.
"Thank you, hero!"
The short man rolled over and ran up the mountain.
Zhong Wu laughed and started to pick up the corpses.
After searching for the valuable items, Zhong Wu and the other two even stripped the bandits of their clothes.
"Haha, the show is about to begin."
On the hill, Qing Huai patted his butt and stood up." Sir, wait here. I'll go down."
Qin Feng looked at Zhong Wu who was at the foot of the mountain, and his heart was in turmoil.
Although he had killed before, he was forced to do so. After killing Baldy, Qin Feng had nightmares for several days.
But looking at Zhong Wu, he was smiling from the beginning to the end, as if he was killing a chicken.
This was the first time Qin Feng saw the difference between a regular soldier and an ordinary person.
When he came back to his senses, Qing Huai had already descended the mountain.
Zhong Wu and the other two also returned to the forest. They quickly put on their armor and picked up their weapons.
When Qin Feng saw Qing Huai pointing at the foot of the mountain, the group of guards scattered and carried their crossbows to different positions.
Including Zhang Liang, he also hid in a bush.
Only the tanned man followed Qing Huai back to the mountaintop.
" Alright, it's all arranged. Sir, let's just wait and watch the show."
