After the corpse was buried, the rainy sky was already slightly bright.
After wiping some of the rain off his body, Xu Mu calmed down and spit out the filth he had suppressed.
"Si Hu, drive."
Thirteen young men, divided into four horses and a carriage, continued to move forward along the muddy road.
"My boss, there are about ten miles of land left." Zhou Zun came running towards him with a deep tone.
"Zhou Zun, you lead three people on horseback and follow. Wait for my boss's order, then surround and kill them from behind."
"My boss, I understand."
The figures of the four riders quickly disappeared into the rain.
"The remaining people, touch their weapons, dismount and walk."
Everyone on the carriage, including the bow dog, quickly checked the swords and iron bows in their hands, and also looked through the robes and armor on their bodies carefully.
Then, they all put on their raincoats and bamboo hats, and all jumped out of the car.
"Lao Lu, go hide the carriage and remember to mark it."
"Don't worry, boss."
"Remember, the old bandit must not be disturbed without my boss's order."
Xu Mu can be sure that this group of more than 30 old bandits are used to seeing blood and live without any worries. They just want to kill people with their swords. Even if they are a bit more vicious than Xue Tong's gang of officers and soldiers before,
.
"Walking slowly into the forest."
After ten miles, the remaining ten people walked for at least more than an hour before slowly approaching Horseshoe Lake.
The rain fell on the bamboo hat, making a "thump thump thump" sound from time to time. Fortunately, the nearby rain scene seemed extremely noisy.
"Boss, that's Horseshoe Lake, right?" Heifu next to him whispered.
Xu Mu nodded. In front of them was a large lake, with several streams and springs flowing down from the mountains constantly flowing into the lake.
Along with the falling rain, circles of ripples danced on the lake.
Looking further along the lake, you can find seven or eight thatched cottages clustered together. Through the wooden windows, you can vaguely see the crowds of people.
"Long Gong, go and see where the horse gallery is."
Gongou nodded. Afraid of walking slowly, he simply abandoned his raincoat and crawled quickly along the wet water.
Before Xu Mu could regain his senses, he was already a hundred steps away.
Xu Mu was stunned. After all, he couldn't persuade him. He just waited for the matter to be completed and drank two bowls of ginger soup.
"Brother Mu, do as I say, let's kill him directly!" Si Hu held the long saber and sounded angry.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Mu shook his head. There was no way around this wave of killings, but he didn't want anything to happen to any of the bankers.
There are more than thirty old bandits who kill without blinking an eye. At least the officers and soldiers will be afraid of them, but if you push these old bandits into a hurry, they will definitely risk their lives against you.
In this world, anyone who dares to play with a knife's edge and lick blood is not a good person.
"Dong, boss, I see you. The horse gallery is behind the house, and there are about ten good horses." The bow dog quickly crawled back, and his whole body was wet, which made Xu Mu feel distressed.
"Longbow, put on your raincoat."
Gonggou put on his raincoat obediently, and his thin body finally looked stronger despite the wind and rain.
Horseshoe Lake is too remote. If the old bandits want to go out to kill families and rob people, they must have horses.
"Mo Da, Mo Er, Hong Sangu." Xu Mu muttered the words.
"What are you reading, Brother Mu?"
"The old gangster's three leaders."
"Is there another aunt?"
"Don't underestimate the enemy."
Rubbing his forehead, Xu Mu calculated quickly, and after a long time, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Hide in the woods and do it after dark."
It's not yet early morning, and it will definitely be a struggle until dark. But there is no way, even if it is a rainy day, it will be easy to be discovered once you take action.
Xu Mu even wanted to bet on the possibility that the old gangsters in this gang would suddenly become interested and send out a group of people to rob on a rainy day.
But soon, he became disappointed.
The old gangsters had no interest in the muddy road and only hid in the house drinking and eating meat. From time to time, fistfight chants were heard loudly.
"Eat solid food."
Ten people wearing raincoats and hanging bamboo hats took out sticky cooking cakes in the wet forest, slowly tore them into pieces, and stuffed them into their mouths one by one.
The last to join were three or four stick men, including Hei Fu, who were obviously trembling.
In the past, they would only dare to do innocuous and bad things in Dongfang of Tangjiang City. The last round of curfew and killings still makes them still fearful.
"Brothers, please calm down." Xu Mu said in a deep voice, "The parents, wives and children in Zhuangzi are still waiting for me to go home."
This sentence finally made the expressions of several stickmen become slightly firm for a moment.
"After killing this wave, we will finally have a place to live."
"Had to kill."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm also a fool." Hei Fu lowered his voice and was the first to express his stance. Several stickmen next to him also echoed in unison.
Xu Mu's face looked pleased for a moment. At first, he was a little hesitant about bringing Hei Fu and his gang into Zhuangzi, but looking at it now, it was indeed the right thing to do.
"Brother Mu, it's raining heavily."
Xu Mu cursed secretly, there was nothing he could do, even if it was hailing, they couldn't be exposed now. It was estimated that Zhou Zun and the four of them also found a place to take shelter from the rain at this time, waiting for his slogan.
"Find a place with less rain and rest for a while."
Until the sky gradually darkened, the rain in the forest did not stop for a moment.
The group of people who had been hibernating slowly gathered together again. Their faces were already red and white from the cold.
"Master, it's getting dark."
Wiping away a handful of rainwater, Xu Mu raised his head and looked around at the dark rainy scene around him. Under such weather conditions, this was already the best opportunity.
"Long Gong, let's go and take a look. There are still a few people patrolling the horse corridor."
The bow dog quickly crawled away, only to return after a while.
"My boss, there are two of us."
"Longbow, shoot! Be sure to kill with one arrow!"
Gongou nodded calmly, "Master, if we only have two people, I can do it."
Xu Mu was slightly happy and nodded solemnly.
"The rest of the people must not make any noise. When someone is shot with a long bow, they will follow him to the horse farm."
"Brother Mu wants to steal the horse?"
This gang of old bandits has more than ten good horses. It is indeed an opportunity to seize the horses and charge them on horseback.
But in fact, the feasibility is not high.
The old gangster who licks the edge of his knife will always be alert. If there is any movement in the horse corridor, he will immediately come out.
Moreover, there is a very crucial point. It is useless to snatch horses. These horses have already recognized their owners and are difficult to tame in a short time. If they run a few more miles and then return to the old bandit, their work will be in vain.
You might even get into trouble.
After touching the horse corridor, what Xu Mu really wanted to do was another thing.
"Brothers, please stab the horses later."
"Stab, stab the horse?"
"Stab all the horses!" Xu Mu's voice suddenly turned cold and he repeated it.
More than 30 veteran bandits had lost their horses. Next was their chance. The first method they considered was to feed medicine and set fire, but considering the weather and the fact that the horses were frightened, Xu Mu abandoned it.
If a horse is stabbed, even if it does not die, it will be seriously injured and lie on the ground, unable to run again.
"Longbow, be careful."
Gongou nodded, disappeared from the spot a few times, and began to look for a place to ambush.
"Brothers, be careful. Those horses will raise their hooves, stab their belly, and then take advantage of the sky to run back into the woods."
"I can even kill people from Beidi, let alone a bunch of old bandits?"
"You're a bastard, you're a bastard! I'm a tough guy, who can stop me?"
"Raise the knife."
In front of the forest, there was a row of big men wearing raincoats, their expressions suddenly became determined.
