Zhao Fan's question was watertight. It was well-founded and measured, and showed a kind of magnanimity. Even if the butcher was still in a defensive mood, he had to nod his head in agreement at this moment.

Zhao Fan said calmly: "Who is in charge of Phoenix Ridge now, and how many troops are there? Are there Du Lisan's troops in Heilong Village in Mopan Mountain? Who is in charge of them? What is the situation of the troops? Is Du Laogeda stationed in Furong Town? What is the strength of the troops?

How much again?”

The butcher didn't expect that Zhao Fan would ask a series of questions when he opened his mouth, but he didn't know very detailed information, so he could only apologize and said: "Du Lisan asked me to garrison Qilin Village. I don't know much about other situations, but I know a little bit about it."

"Phoenix Ridge is currently in charge of a distant relative of Du Lisan. This person is also named Du and is known as Cobra. He is in his thirties and is good with two guns. He has a rather flamboyant personality. He has more than 200 men stationed in Phoenix Ridge. I heard that

Most of his men are from bandits, and they are all ruthless and murderous without blinking an eye."

"The Black Dragon Village in Mopan Mountain is garrisoned by a group of bandits who were just recruited by Du Lisan. This group of bandits were originally scattered bandits in the Liutiaogou area of ​​the Liaohe River. They have brothers No. 70 and 80. Their leader is called Zhu Wushang. He is tall and has a complexion.

He is dark-skinned, has broad shoulders and a round waist, is extremely powerful, and is good at wielding a mace."

"Furong Town is garrisoned by Du Lao Geda, Du Lisan's hard-core subordinate. He has more than 150 men."

"After Du Lisan conquered Fenghuangling, he also occupied Furong Town, Qilin Village and Heilong Village. The four places, with Furong as the center, formed a horned situation. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Ziyang County once sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them.

The result was a complete defeat.”

"Du Lisan extended his tentacles to Furong Town, which is equivalent to strangulating the throats of Tianda and Daxing Provinces, and amassing money by blackmailing passing merchants."

Zhao Fan waited quietly for the butcher to finish speaking, and then asked: "How much do you know about how their troops are deployed in Furong Town, Black Dragon Village, and Phoenix Ridge?"

The butcher shook his head, "I don't know about that. Du Lisan left the affairs here to General Du Laogeda. I have only gone to Furong Town to discuss things a few times. I have never been to Fenghuangling and Black Dragon Village once."

"Also, Du Lisan, who I took refuge with in western Liaoning, did not have any great achievements during that period, and was never reused by him. Later, I didn't know where I offended Du Laogao, and he made trouble for me from time to time."

"Both Cobra and Zhu Wushang don't like me either, because they have many times more men than me, and their weapons are naturally better than mine. Therefore, they rarely interact with each other and discuss things in a timely manner. I am also marginalized.

.”

Zhao Fan smiled and nodded, "Then you are living a pretty useless life, not getting any benefits and being ostracized everywhere, why would you choose this path?"

Seeing that Zhao Fan was sincere, the butcher stopped hiding it and said boldly: "I have no choice. Who made me choose the path of banditry? Since I have become a bandit, there is no way back."

"It doesn't matter who you take refuge in. Now, if you don't have a relationship with this person or that person, if you don't have aunts, uncles or nephews, of course you will think of them first if something good happens."

"It's not like me. I don't have any connections. I was an orphan since I was a child. I grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. No matter where I go, I'm not welcomed by anyone."

"At the beginning, I also thought about pulling a pole alone to occupy the top of the mountain and become a self-contained entity. I have tried it before, but it simply doesn't work. The main reason is that there are too few brothers. Either today I will be beaten by this one, or I will be beaten by that one tomorrow. No one can survive at all.

day."

"I thought I could rest against a big tree so I could enjoy the shade, but who knew the result wouldn't always be the same."

Zhao Fan couldn't help but laugh "haha" as he listened, "In these troubled times, if you still want to live a peaceful life and become a bandit, you just have to hang your life on your belt. As long as you can see the sun tomorrow and have a bite of food.

That’s pretty good.”

"Your fate is quite sad, but my fate is not much better. I originally had no worries about food and clothing. Who would have thought that misfortune fell from the sky, and 189 people in the village were brutally killed. I was the only one lucky enough to escape.

They came out, but until now, they don’t even know who the murderers are? Let alone avenge them.”

"We are both fallen people from the end of the world, so why should we meet before? I deeply sympathize with your experience. I hope that whether you become a bandit or a robber in the future, you will never harm the people. Their lives are also very hard. Since you are eating the food of hundreds of families,

When you grow up, you must remember their kindness."

"If you let me know in the future that you will bully the people again, don't blame me for being merciless to you. You can leave now."

After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he loudly called Xiao Liuzi in, "Quickly untie the rope for the butcher, then get some good food and send him away from here."

Xiao Liuzi's face was stunned, "Commander, why did you let him go? He is a heinous person who wants your life."

Zhao Fan smiled and said: "Since you have surrendered to me, you must listen to me. Since I am alive and well, it means that the butcher did not kill me. What's more, he is also a person who takes orders. Let's not be too embarrassed."

He got it."

The butcher was immediately confused. What was going on? Zhao Fan only asked himself a few questions, and his answers were only superficial. He knew nothing about the internal situation. At the same time, he fought with him.

, and almost killed his wife.

He had neither meritorious service nor any commitment, so why did Zhao Fan let him go?

Unbelievable, really unbelievable. No wonder I heard people say that Zhao Fan is not a mortal. It seems to be true.

When the butcher hesitated, Zhao Fan seemed to read his thoughts and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, Xiao Liuzi has prepared the food. It won't be too late for you to leave after eating. I have other things to do."

If you deal with it, I won’t be here to accompany you.”

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and tugged on Ouyang Huixian's sleeve, "It's time for us to go and see how your eldest sister is recovering?"

Ouyang Huixian raised his eyebrows and wanted to get angry and criticize Zhao Fan a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and reluctantly followed Zhao Fan out.

The two of them walked forty or fifty meters side by side. Ouyang Huixian finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Brother Fan, are you out of your mind? Why did you let the butcher go so easily?"

Zhao Fan smiled and said: "Currently, we are short of manpower. I think the butcher is available. If the prediction is good, he should come here soon."

After Ouyang Huixian heard what Zhao Fan said, he realized that what Zhao Fan just said to the butcher had a profound meaning.

Ouyang Huixian was still a little puzzled, "Brother Fan, are you so confident about the butcher? What if he doesn't agree to join us?"

Zhao Fan shook his head, "It's impossible. Even if he doesn't join us, we won't suffer a loss. If we meet him again in the future, will he still be our enemy? Maybe he will even provide convenience for us!"

Just when Zhao Fan and Ouyang Huixian were about to return to the molten cave, Xiao Liuzi's voice came from behind, "Commander, wait a minute, I have important information to report to you."

Zhao Fan and Ouyang Huixian had no choice but to stop and look back at Xiaoliuzi from afar to near. They said out of breath: "Commander, the butcher said he wants to see you again. He has something to say to you."

explain."

Zhao Fan said nonchalantly: "Xiao Liuzi, are you ready to prepare the food for the butchers? Is it not to the taste of the butchers?"

Xiao Liuzi smiled hoarsely and said, "Commander, the food was just brought to him, but he didn't eat a bite, so he asked me to find you quickly, so I ran over without stopping."

Zhao Fan smiled and said: "Then you go back and tell the butcher. If you just want to talk, then don't worry. If you have other important matters, you can come to see me near Laoya Forest." After saying that, Zhao Fanxu did not reply.

He pulled Ouyang Huixian away.

Xiao Liuzi was confused after hearing this, so he had no choice but to convey it to the butcher verbatim according to what Zhao Fan had said.

The butcher grabbed two steamed buns from the food basket, put them into his mouth with one hand, and held Xiao Liuzi with the other hand, "Brother Liuzi, please help me and take me to the commander quickly. I am

Can’t wait a moment longer.”

Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened. What happened to the butcher and the commander? They seemed to be playing riddles. Should I go? Or not?

Just when Xiao Liuzi was hesitating whether to go or not, the butcher shook off his hand and ran away alone.

Xiao Liuzi was a little panicked now. When he came here, Ouyang Huixian repeatedly told him that there were many dangers here and he must not run around.

It's good now. Just because of his hesitation, he let the butcher run out alone. If something unexpected happened to him, how could he explain it to the commander?

Xiao Liuzi didn't have time to think too much, he turned around quickly and chased madly in the direction where the butcher left.

Between the two, that is, three to five minutes before and after, although the butcher is not a big shot, he does not dare to underestimate him, especially for Xiao Liuzi. There is a huge gap between the two in terms of martial arts, let alone legs.

effort.

Xiao Liuzi left the cave entrance quickly, and his eyes could vaguely see the butcher's back. When Xiao Liuzi left the cave entrance less than 20 meters away, the butcher's back had disappeared.

Xiao Liuzi could only continue to run wildly, and at the same time, he shouted loudly: "Stop quickly, there is danger ahead, stop quickly, there is danger ahead!"

But no matter what Xiao Liuzi called, the butcher was nowhere to be seen.

In fact, for the butcher, he only wanted to meet Zhao Fan as soon as possible. As for the Lao Ya Lin that Zhao Fan mentioned, he had only heard from others that it was dark when he was kidnapped. Therefore, as for the situation of Lao Ya Lin,

, just stays in my mind.

At the same time, the butcher didn't know where the old duck forest was. He just didn't believe it. Isn't it just a forest? Isn't it difficult to find the surrounding woods?

Indeed, the butcher only looked for the forest, so he escaped from Crow's Mouth Cliff by luck.

As the butcher ran wildly, he kept searching with his eyes. His hard work paid off, and he actually found a dense forest, which was also the old duck forest.

Unfortunately, there was only one road in and out of Laoya Forest, and the butcher hurried into the dense forest before he reached the intersection.

In the butcher's mind, Zhao Fan said it was near Laoya Forest. So, this neighborhood might be outside Laoya Forest or inside Laoya Forest.
