Chapter 5 Who is behind the scenes?
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you!
Chao Gai understood that only by catching this guy and interrogating him could he know who was behind the scenes to harm him. Then he would follow the clues and find him out and kill him. Even if he didn't kill him, he would feel at ease. Only in this way could the crisis be completely resolved.
Seeing Han Bolong distance himself in the dark, he suddenly raised the log in his hands in desperation. Power poured into his arms, and he threw it forward fiercely.
Like an extra-large arrow, it whizzed straight towards Han Bolong's back. When Han Bolong heard the howling of the wind behind him, he understood that something was coming. He still ran forward, twisted his waist and jumped to the side to try to avoid it.
Unfortunately, this was not an ordinary arrow. The thick log rubbed Han Bolong's shoulder, and there was a sound of cracking bones. He staggered and almost fell.
"Hahaha, big-eared thief, where are you running?"
Chao Gai saw that the opponent's speed had dropped sharply, so he pulled out a dagger from his waist and gritted his teeth and chased after him. After throwing away the log, his speed increased sharply, and he was about to catch up with Han Bolong.
"Kill, save Leader Han quickly."
But at this moment, more than a dozen minions emerged from the slanting ground. Some of them responded to Han Bolong, while others bent their bows and shot arrows at Chao Gai who was pursuing him.
Chao Gai had quick eyesight and flicked his dagger to deflect arrows one after another. However, the speed of pursuit dropped sharply, and he saw Han Bolong and others running further and further away. He wanted to pursue desperately, but suddenly there was a strange clicking sound in the diagonal ground.
An arrow went straight to his cheek fast and hard, and it was close at hand in the blink of an eye.
It's so fast, it's definitely not a shot from an ordinary hard bow!
Chao Gai could only give up the pursuit. At the critical moment, he leaned back suddenly. The three-sided armor awl passed by his face. He could clearly see that it was a short arrow of more than ten centimeters with a glowing color on it. Blu-ray.
Arrows are poisonous!
Chao Gai felt a chill in his heart. He reached out and grabbed the arrow in his hand. He looked in the direction of shooting. He saw a short, hooded man running away with a crossbow. He was obviously the same person who met up with Han Bolong and others. Partner.
He was able to avoid this arrow thanks to his reaction ability and timely adjustment to respond. The previous King Chao Tianwang would probably have been shot in the cheek.
That figure from the back looks familiar, but who is it?
Chao Gai clenched the poisonous arrow in his hand, looked at the gangster who was quickly walking away, and roared and swore, "Han Bolong, the man who attacked me by surprise, if you don't avenge this revenge, Chao will be a useless person!"
This chase scene is a long story, but it happened in a short time.
More than a dozen guards behind him came late with torches and wanted to continue the pursuit. However, they were stopped by Chao Gai, who packed up their arrows and returned to the house to kill the strongman!
The main gate of the front yard was also attacked, with torches flashing outside and shouts of death shaking the sky. However, the guard Li Rong was guilty of meritorious deeds and led dozens of guards in the counterattack. A strongman who attacked them was defeated.
Everyone in the Chao Mansion had long been prepared to deal with tonight's bandit attack. The guards and Zhuang Ke had the advantage in numbers and were better equipped. They waited for work and staged a beautiful ambush, and the bandits had long been discouraged. Under the wolf-like tiger Under the attack of the Chao Mansion guards, they are destined to be defeated!
When Chao Gai led his men back to his house, the battle had almost come to an end. The people in Dongxi Village also heard cheers and calls for catching the robbers. When they saw the strongmen fleeing into the village, they swarmed up, caught them, tied them up, and sent them away.
This battle was fought brilliantly and more than a hundred prisoners were captured.
Chao Gai knew that these people used to be common people digging for food in the fields with hoes. He had already ordered that they be captured alive as much as possible, but the swords and swords had no eyes on the battlefield. He ordered Chao Qiang to count the wounded on his side, bandage the prisoners' injuries, treat them, etc.
After all the trivial matters were arranged, he returned to the study a little tiredly! Looking at the poison-quenched short arrow in front of him, there was no name engraved on it. Thinking back to the crossbow in the hooded man's hand, the sharp weapon of the Song Dynasty came to mind.
, God's Arm Bow. It has strong drawing power and can shoot through heavy armor at 150 steps.
If he couldn't avoid it and was shot in the cheek, he would definitely be shot through and die on the spot.
Bandit night attack, divine arm bow, poison-quenched arrows!
In order to kill him and seize the family property, he did one thing after another, but he took great pains! The former King Chao Tian would definitely have thought about who murdered him?
Now Chao Gai has a suspect, and the back figure gradually becomes clearer. Thinking back again to the poisonous arrow shot into the cheek before, it was exactly the same as the original trajectory of King Chao Tian's death a few years later when he conquered Zengtou City.
He vaguely guessed that the person behind Han Bolong was probably the fat black man. The great men of our party once said during a military meeting that the classic of Water Margin is that Song Jiang is a capitulator, and his mission is to kill the heroes of Liangshan. For the sake of official title and himself.
, treating human life as nothing.
What can't a person who killed hundreds of innocent people do in order to recruit Qin Ming to join his gang? Hua Rong's sister gave it away without even asking. It shows that his heart is dark, ruthless and poisonous, and he can do it for selfish desires
Take advantage of anyone.
But why did I offend this guy so viciously? This point is different from the original trajectory. Could it be that it has existed for a long time but is not known to everyone? Before going to Liangshan, did you ever think about killing the Two Hundred and Five Heavenly Kings?
Chao Gai felt that there were many things that he couldn't figure out, and the situation became a bit complicated and strange. However, when he thought about Han Bolong being hacked to death by Li Kui with an axe, it seemed that Li Kui was acting out of temper on the surface, but in fact he was ordered to kill someone to silence him.
Only when Han Bolong is gone can he shut up forever and the conspiracy will not be exposed. King Chao Tian regarded him as a brother, but the latter despised him from the bottom of his heart.
This can be proved by the fact that Chao Gai was treated like nothing during Jiangzhou's robbery. Did he spend the money given by the Heavenly King to make friends just to kill the Heavenly King?
The more Chao Gai thought about it, the more he thought about it. He felt extremely frightened when he thought about it, and his heart went cold. The enemy in destiny was really vicious, and the city was deep and full of tricks, making it very difficult to deal with. It seemed that he would be more careful in the future and develop his power quickly.
Recharge your batteries and wait for the next confrontation!
He found a small box, wrapped the short arrow and stuffed it into the cabinet. He secretly made up his mind to return this arrow if he had the opportunity in the future.
As soon as he finished, Chao Qiang rushed to the study, bowed and saluted and reported: "Sir, the casualty statistics are complete! Since many of our troops had armor for self-defense, we set up an ambush. No one died, and only dozens of people were injured, including
Five people were seriously injured."
"Rescue, don't be afraid of spending money. If the doctor in the village can't do it, go to the city and hire a famous doctor. Use the best medicine. I must rescue the five seriously injured people." Chao Gai turned around from the desk without thinking.
Then he loudly ordered: "Those who contribute will be rewarded with one reward, those who are injured will be rewarded with two rewards, and those who are seriously injured will be rewarded with five rewards."
During the Northern Song Dynasty, gold and silver were precious metals, and copper coins were mostly circulated among the people. In order to constrain the explicit regulations in various places, the copper coins were always 770 Wen. Compared with the inflation of later generations, the purchasing power of copper coins at this time was very strong.
The money is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month or two, and a few hundred yuan is not a small amount.
"Master, you..." Chao Qiang was a little dazed. His master was so generous. This time, not only the strong men, but also the old, weak, women and children in the house were involved.
"Don't be reluctant, Zhuangzi has nothing to lose. Let Kang Bo stop being petty." Chao Gai patted Chao Qiang on the shoulder and hit the point with one sentence.
"In addition, the village has insufficient strength. Consider recruiting strong men who have never done any bad things. Go to the city and ask a famous doctor to send someone to report the matter to the government for handling."
"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away!" Chao Qiang left in response.
…
Chao Gai put his feet on the desk in an imageless manner, thinking with dull eyes. Suppress this group of powerful thieves and smash the conspiracy of the big-eared thief Han Bolong and the people behind the scenes. The crisis has been temporarily eliminated, but he is remembered like a dark place.
Poisonous snakes have to be guarded against. If there is another such attack without advance preparation, there will definitely be casualties. You must take action to nip it in the bud.
One is that we must recruit guards!
The second is how to obtain leather armor, hard bows, and even divine arm bows to equip the guards that will be recruited in the future. The role of sophisticated equipment in tonight's battle is obvious.
If you pay more for leather armor and hard bow, someone from this city will send them to you.
But this divine arm bow is in trouble. The Song Dynasty had very strict regulations, and the soldiers would be damaged before they died. The only way to try their luck was to go to the state government office or even Tokyo.
The last thing is that he is not the one who just takes a beating without fighting back, he also wants to be cruel to the other party...
"Oh, Master, you are so generous. Spending money is like running water!" While Chao Gai was thinking about it, the old butler Kang Bo ran into the study with a heartbroken face. The young man has worked hard for half his life and developed a good habit of being diligent and thrifty in running the house.
Habit. As soon as I hear that Chao Gai spends money lavishly, he rushes over to take a look!
