Compared with the more than 4,000 bandits, Jin Feng was actually more worried about Mr. Feng.
Bandits are just a ragtag group of people. When things are good for them, they run faster than the others. When the situation goes bad, they run faster than the others.
If they hadn't surrounded Qing Mulan this time, Jin Feng would have had many ways to deal with them.
But Mr. Feng is too thoughtful and very good at deceiving people. He was able to gather more than 4,000 bandits this time, and he might be able to gather more people next time.
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Once you are targeted by such a person, you will never think about having a peaceful life in the future.
So this time when he came to Wulang Mountain, Jin Feng's first goal was to rescue Qing Mulan, and his second goal was to kill Mr. Feng. As for the bandits, he was the last thing he considered.
It's a pity that after the battle was over, Mr. Feng was nowhere to be seen.
"No, I just asked someone to interrogate several bandit leaders. Mr. Feng said he had something to do the day before yesterday, so he left Wulang Mountain and never showed up again."
Zhang Liang said: "I guess he may have known that the bandits couldn't defeat us, so he escaped early."
"If that's the case, why didn't he run away with the bandits?"
Da Liu asked: "With these thousands of people as his team, and Feng Sheng's methods, he can prosper no matter where he goes."
Qingshan County belongs to the northwest corner of Xichuan Road. A few hundred miles to the north is the territory of Jingzhao Road, and a few hundred miles to the west is Tubo.
Given the current situation in Dakang, even if Captain Xiao was killed, he would not dare to lead his troops to pursue Tibet.
"Feng Sheng abandoned the bandits because he probably disliked the bandits because they had too big a target and couldn't escape with them. For a person like him, he was able to seduce four thousand bandits this time and another 4,000 or even more next time.
"
Jin Feng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The second scenario is that Feng Sheng has other motives and deliberately draws our attention to Wulang Mountain..."
Before Jin Feng finished speaking, Da Liu exclaimed: "This guy has fought against Xihewan before. Isn't he going to give up and lure us out and fight again?"
"If that's the case, it would save us a lot of trouble." Jin Feng said with a smile.
Before setting off, Zhang Liang considered this possibility.
Not only did he leave enough manpower to defend Xihewan, but he also ordered Zheng Fang to bring back a group of veterans from Maomao Mountain.
Nowadays, the fortifications around Xihewan have been almost completed, and they can be said to be nothing more than an iron barrel.
Unless Mr. Feng brings four thousand more bandits to attack, it is impossible to succeed.
Now, thanks to the propaganda of the Zhongming Group, almost all the people in Jinchuan County know that there are heavy rewards for reporting bandits to Xihewan. Let alone four thousand people, even forty people can't even think of approaching Xihewan quietly.
Da Liu followed Jin Feng for a long time, and gradually got a feel for Jin Feng's temper. Looking at Jin Feng's expression, he knew that the village was on guard.
"That only leaves the first possibility mentioned by Mr. Feng Sheng. Feng Sheng was afraid and thought he couldn't run fast with the bandits, so he left the bandits here to stop us, and he escaped on his own."
"We never found Feng Sheng before. If he wanted to run away, we wouldn't be able to find him at all, so I think the first possibility is very low."
Zhang Liang said: "I still think the second possibility mentioned by Mr. Feng is more likely. Mr. Feng has other agendas."
"If he doesn't dare to go to Xihewan, what else can he want?" asked Da Liu.
"I don't know about that." Zhang Liang shook his head.
"If you don't know, then find out!" Jin Feng said: "Brother Liang, send a message to Xiaoyu and ask her to put other things aside and search for Mr. Feng with all your strength!"
There are five bandit suppression teams. Because the first bandit suppression team is led by Qing Mulan, Xiaoyu feels most at ease, so she focuses on the other four teams, and her people have been in other counties.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to notify Xiaoyu later." Zhang Liang nodded.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the guards guarding outside the tent came in with Xiaoyu.
The battlefield is indeed the best place to train new recruits. Although he has not been in charge of Zhong Ming's second group for a long time, Xiaoyu has grown very quickly.
Nowadays, her spies are everywhere in Jinchuan County. Not to mention the bandits, the gangsters in every village have become much restrained.
Xiaoyu has been hanging out with the women in the village since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the psychology of women.
To women, bandits are savage beasts, and ruffians are annoying mosquitoes.
Although it is not likely to kill people, it can happen all day long and it will take advantage of you if you are not paying attention.
So when Xiaoyu went down to develop an informant, she specifically told the women in each village that the Xihewan Bandit Suppression Team would take care of the gangsters as long as there was solid evidence.
Although he won't be arrested as a bandit, he won't be able to escape with a good beating.
It is precisely because of this that Xiaoyu's work of developing eyeliner goes so smoothly.
Nowadays, among the women's circles in Jinchuan County, the most famous one is Jin Feng, and the second most famous one is Xiaoyu, the "women's captain".
When she was still in the village, Xiaoyu was always lively. After this period of training, she became more vigorous and resolute. She walked with the pace of a dragon and a tiger, quite similar to Qing Mulan's previous demeanor.
"Hey, really talk about Cao... talk about Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu will be here."
Jin Feng smiled and said: "Xiaoyu, have you learned Shunfeng Er? How did you know we were looking for you?"
"As soon as I heard about Wulang Mountain, I rushed to Qingshan County immediately. I wanted to provide you with some information, but it seems I won't be able to use it now."
Xiaoyu then began to review herself: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't do my job well. I didn't find Feng Sheng, and I didn't even notice that he had gathered so many bandits. Please punish me, sir!"
"You did have a lot of dereliction of duty this time. As for the punishment, I will discuss it with Brother Liang when we get back and punish him in accordance with the regulations of the escort agency."
Jin Feng was very satisfied with Xiaoyu's attitude, but had no intention of letting her go.
If something is wrong, it is wrong. If no punishment is imposed, who will take the rules seriously in the future? So why does the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau make rules?
"Yes!" Xiaoyu didn't argue and bowed her head obediently.
"We'll discuss the punishment later. Now find Feng Sheng for me as soon as possible!"
The thought of being targeted by someone like Mr. Feng made Jin Feng feel as if there was a cold, slippery snake crawling on his back, and he felt uneasy all over.
"When I came, the arrangements had already been made."
Xiaoyu said: "Now several nearby counties and counties, the guys from the Chamber of Commerce, the bodyguards from the bodyguard bureau, and my informants are all looking for him."
"well done."
Jin Feng praised happily.
Xiaoyu was born to feed on information. Now she knows what to do without having to explain herself.
And Zhang Liang also showed strong military qualities this time, which surprised Jin Feng.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng couldn't help but turn his head and look outside.
Qing Mulan was hit hard this time. She has been back for so long and has been sitting on the stone with her hair down in a daze.
