The territory and power of the Luochuan thieves were obtained from countless fierce battles, and they were by no means lucky; hundreds of people in their ranks were all fierce and warlike men. When they decided to rely on the complex terrain of Daiwang City, they could not break, chew, or swallow it, just like the hard pebbles spread all over every river beach in Daijun. Everyone firmly believed that in the past few decades, they had used the same method to force back batches of aggressive enemies, and this time they would be like this.
However, several core figures, including the horse server, dare not ignore this mysterious enemy. They knew that the visitor was not good, so they mobilized all the power that could be mobilized and prepared to fight hard.
On the southwest corner of Luochuan Thief Fort, Hu Xiu climbed down from the towering tower, without any concern about the creaking of the thick ladder, as if it would be broken at any time. His body was tall and thin, and he looked like a shaky clothes rack in his movements. But on his arms outside, he could see the hard and dense muscles, which undoubtedly contained huge power.
Looking downstairs, several men with ferocious appearance gathered. Seeing Hu Xiu get down, they gathered around him. Hu Xiu rubbed his hands on his clothes and said expressionlessly: "There is no suitable wood on hand, so you can only make do with a tenon. It will be stronger, but you can have up to five people, otherwise it will collapse."
"You can't fucking snacks..." A man opened his mouth and drank half a sentence, and was pulled back by another person. The man nodded repeatedly to Hu Xiu: "Damn, these wooden towers and other things should be cleaned up long ago. If they suddenly collapsed during the war, wouldn't they be alive? Fortunately, you, Master Hu, are here, haha! The skills are very good!" He approached Hu Xiu with a shy face: "When the enemy is defeated, the leader will definitely reward you well! Maybe he will give you a beautiful woman like flowers!"
Hu Xiu showed a disgusting expression and took a step back.
The man before, seeing Hu Xiu was so ignorant, and he couldn't help but get angry. But when he was about to scold him again, he suddenly hesitated again. He could see clearly that Hu Xiu just now used a hammer to hit the tenon in the bracket made of logs, but his own palm! Such a strange power is terrifying and terrifying. If he angers him, hesitates, he will definitely suffer... The man was secretly scared in his heart, and hesitated for a moment, and finally threw something into Hu Xiu's arms and walked away angrily.
Hu Xiu watched him walk away indifferently and turned to the other direction.
The area of ​​the fort was not very large, but the thieves couldn't build it, which was messy and dirty. Hu Xiu slowly walked past several houses and came to a half-underground building. When a few guards in front of the door saw Hu Xiu, they pushed open the thick gate and put him in. When he stepped into the door, they went back to the door bar from outside.
The light in the door was dim and the air was turbid. A small window was opened on the walls on both sides of the east and west for breathability. This was the place where Luochuan thieves used to detain hostages. Obviously, kidnapping and extortion were an important means of business for Luochuan thieves, otherwise they would not have had such a strict prison.
But there are too many people in the prison at this moment. Nearly thirty old, weak, women and children were imprisoned here, and a thick rope tied up each of their arms together. Some people complained, some cried, some talked to each other and inquire about the situation, and the noisy sound made people's eardrums buzz.
Hu Xiu walked through the chaotic crowd and walked towards the right side of the prison without hesitation. The prisoners greeted him one after another and made way for him. The right side of the prison was facing the air window, and there was a slightly clean floor with bundles of hay on the ground, which was the best place in the prison. On the hay, an old woman in ragged clothes and disheveled hair were curled up. The dim light reflected her closed eyes and her matte sallow face, and she looked aged and tired.
Hu Xiu knelt down and kowtowed with a thud, and called out with a sob: "Mother..."
The old woman heard Hu Xiu's voice, opened her eyes a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She seemed to want to raise her hand to touch Hu Xiu's face, but there was a crisp sound of metal collision on her wrists. It turned out that the old woman's hands and feet were locked by extremely heavy shackles. The shackles were as thick as ordinary people's thumbs, so they were afraid they would not weigh dozens of pounds!
Hu Xiu quickly lowered his head and stroked the old woman's palm with his face, tears flowing down in an uproar.
After a while, Hu Xiu suddenly became shocked and took out the thing that the vicious bandit had just thrown to him: it turned out to be a thin steamed cake with still warmth. He carefully broke the steamed cake into very fine pieces and gently fed it to the old woman's mouth. An old man sitting cross-legged at the base of the wall next to him saw this, and quickly handed it over to the skin.
Hu Xiu thanked him, opened the skin, and slowly moistened the drinking water inside on the old woman's lips. It took him a long time to feed the steamed cake bit by bit.
The old woman looked at Hu Xiu, her lips trembling, as if she was about to say something. Hu Xiu quickly leaned over and put her ears to her mouth.
Before he could hear his mother's words, the gate of the prison was pushed open. Ma Cuo rushed in: "Hu Xiu, what else are you delaying? The enemy is about to attack, hurry up and follow me!"
While speaking, he glanced at the scene in the prison and said, "The clan leader said that as long as you can defeat the enemy this time, you will release your mother! In addition, you will also be the chief instructor of our Marx Fort..."
These words were originally a sign of goodwill, but because the bridge of his nose was hit hard by Ma taking Ruyi, Ma Cuo took out a silk handkerchief and covered his nose when he spoke. This way, he accidentally showed an extremely contemptuous expression. Hu Xiu was angry and raised his eyes. Even in the dark prison, his eyes were sharp as lightning.
Halfway through Ma's mistake, he was forced by Hu Xiu's fierce power, and he couldn't help but take a step back. By chance, his heels hit a stone on a certain stone and suddenly lost his balance. His hands were dancing in the air, but in the end he didn't catch anything that could maintain balance and fell to the sky with a "bang".
This guy came in a fierce manner, but he ate the boss's weakness in front of Hu Xiu, showing his outstanding harsh and cowardly appearance. There were a few uncontrollable sneering sounds in the prison.
Ma Cuo got up in a mess, and heard the sneer of the prisoners, and was immediately extremely angry, and the anger that had been humiliated by his father suddenly burst out. He shouted loudly: "What are you laughing at! You are so desperate?" As he shouted, the two warriors rushed in from outside the door and pulled out half of their waist knife as a deterrent.
But in the dark prison, I don’t know which hoarse voice replied sadly: “You keep my cheap life, all for the purpose of hiding the child. But…if my child has a short time…what is the use of my life?”
Some of the detained people here were meat tickets plundered by Luochuan thieves, and some were hostages. For example, Hu Xiu came from a famous craftsman family in Dangcheng County. His mother was detained here, so he had to serve them. When the enemy came to attack, Luochuan thieves took these family members and relatives as their responsibilities, driving craftsmen, servants and others to fight.
In the northern border war, Hu Zong often made the followers' tribes the front, and even if they were seriously injured, they would not care about it. The Luochuan thieves' move was just to follow the customs of Hu'er. But when a hostage was in the middle of the scene, they thought of watching their husbands and sons go to the battlefield to fight for their lives. Why wasn't they sad? As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire prison was immediately suppressed and suffocated.
In the silence of death, Hu Xiu gently patted the old woman's skinny hand, turned slowly, and gave a big gift to everyone in the prison: "My mother is old and she is not feeling well recently. I hope all the elders and sisters will take care of her. Hu Xiu thanked her here first."
All the prisoners returned the favor, and many people yelled: "Don't worry, Dalang, we should do our best... and ask Dalang to take care of our family outside and protect their lives!"
Hu Xiu nodded and walked out of the cell. Ma Cuo followed Hu Xiu out immediately, and the two guards immediately locked the door again.
Ma Cuo scolded and said, "Don't stand there, put on his armor!"
Several servants outside the prison immediately put on their helmets, armor and a big horse-killing sword. The northern border was short of supplies and iron tools were particularly ten. It was already very impressive that ordinary small forces could have more than ten armored soldiers. Such a complete set of helmets and weapons were often kept secretly as strategic reserves. This time, the Luochuan thieves really attached great importance to the enemy, and then distributed all the good items at the bottom of the box.
Hu Xiu stretched out his arms expressionlessly, letting those people wear helmets and armor for him. When he finished, he gently stretched his ape's arms and lifted the knife in his hand. With a slight turn of his wrist, he danced the heavy sword like a lamp grass, arousing a sharp sound of breaking the wind.
"Okay! It's so mighty!" Ma Cuo stroking his hands and exclaimed.
Hu Xiu studded the sword to the ground and turned to Macuo. His body was huge, and he was taller than Macuo's entire head. Looking down like this, the wide iron eaves blocked the sunlight and made people unable to see his eyes clearly.
Ma Cuo laughed dryly and twitched a few times on his side.
"Be careful to guard my mother." Hu Xiu said coldly, then strode away.
