"Don't hurt the boss, otherwise we will fight you!"
"Yes, I will drag you to hell even if I die!"
…
After hearing the Tanlang Gang threatening him, Jiang Yichen felt lucky to have chosen the right person, and was also moved by the brotherhood of the other person.
"Don't worry, brothers, this little kid is asking for help from us. If he doesn't get the information he wants, he won't attack me." If Jiang Yichen hadn't used ice-cold energy and some acupoint skills to freeze the meridians, Zhai Ben would have He would never let someone hold his sword to his neck and threaten his brother, but as the leader of a gang, he obviously had to turn his head faster. After guessing Jiang Yichen's intention, he expected that the other party would not dare to act rashly, so he relaxed a little.
Everyone in the Tanlang Gang felt a little relieved after hearing this, but they still surrounded Jiang Yichen in the center. Their intention was very clear. If he killed Zhai Ben, he would not be able to leave safely.
"I said, little kid, if you want to know anything, just ask. If I feel comfortable listening to you, I might be merciful and tell you. If I don't feel comfortable, you can't even think of a single word coming out of my mouth. .”
"Haha, since Uncle Zhai has said so, it would be disrespectful for me to say otherwise."
"Hmph, poor scholars talk a lot of nonsense. If you have something to say, ask it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go."
"I found the remains of a large spider and some spider eggs in the cave under the mound in the middle of Wild Wolf Plains. Do you know the situation of that big spider?"
"That place is no longer our land, I don't know."
"Morning? How early?"
"I told you I don't know, so I have no comment."
"...You should have known that someone would come looking for you?"
"Huh, it's a matter of time."
"What evil things have you done?"
"Bah! I behave upright, sit upright, and never do anything harmful to nature! Neither will my brothers!"
"real?"
"It's true!"
"Then you disturb the habitat of the red wolves, hunt them arbitrarily, and make the red wolf tribe restless and live in fear all day long. Isn't that considered unethical?"
"Hey, it's not your little kid's turn to reason in front of me, who are you trying to bluff? Today I will tell you carefully, our Greedy Wolf Gang and the Red Wolf Pack are complementary to each other."
"Complementing each other?" Jiang Yichen couldn't see Zhai Ben's eyes, but he also saw the eyes of several Greedy Wolf Gang members in front of him shining brightly, showing a sense of fearlessness and pride.
"That's right. The harsh weather in the Wild Wolf Plains makes it difficult for many animals to survive there. However, the red wolves, with their super toughness and adaptability, not only survived well in that area but also waited for opportunities to breed in large numbers, and then passed through the Wild Wolf Plains. The merchants and passers-by were often attacked by red wolves. Over time, it was almost called the world of wolves and the forbidden land of humans. However, it was too much to go too far. Without the restrictions of natural enemies, the over-breeding of red wolves also caused those red wolves to suffer from insufficient food. Either they died of hunger, or they died of internal fighting for food, or they left the Wild Wolf Plains and attacked Jianglin Town in search of food."
"That was only more than ten years ago. At that time, the cholera invasion by foreign barbarians in Zhongzhou had just passed, and the red wolf group had grown particularly powerful and launched an attack on humans. At that time, there was a temporary wolf-slaying operation in Xijiang County. For their own safety, people could not unite in front of the wolves, and almost wiped out the entire red wolf group. Although the red wolves were not stupid, they still left behind sparks of fire, but they were not known by the people of the time. They kept a low profile and multiplied secretly. "Suddenly an older Greedy Wolf Gang member took over the conversation, "In the following years, people from other areas occasionally hunted one or two red wolves and found that their fur was a good material for making fur coats. As much as fox fur, the value of red wolf skins skyrocketed. Then a large number of people flocked to Wild Wolf, hoping to take advantage of this business opportunity to make a living. However, this was not a good job. The more cunning Red Wolf and The bad weather in Yelangyuan is the biggest obstacle, and not many people dare to persevere."
"You Greedy Wolf Gang are the wolf hunting team that persisted, and it is precisely because of your existence that the red wolves will no longer over-reproduce and cause disasters. You make a living from the red wolves, and the red wolves have checks and balances because of you. , the so-called complement each other." Jiang Yichen understood clearly and summarized.
"Yes, in the past, the boss imitated the heroes of the Water Margin and called himself Sirius. He gathered us and other mountain ruffians to form the Greedy Wolf Gang. In the deserted area, he suffered hardship and tiredness based on his own ability. In exchange for some money, he was self-reliant and supported his family. , how can you say it is unreasonable?" The person who spoke was another middle-aged man. It was obvious that these brothers had been following Zhai Ben for many years and had extremely sincere and pure emotions and heartfelt respect for Zhai Ben.
"Brother, please don't embarrass us. There are seniors and juniors in the family. Each of our families relies on one man to make a living through this hard work." A slightly younger man from behind. The man tried to persuade Jiang Yichen.
"Okay, brothers, stop talking nonsense. If these nonsense were useful, how could we still be in this situation? Men, don't give in!" Zhai Ben shouted.
Jiang Yichen was already a little soft-hearted, but when Zhai Ben shouted, he was frightened and became more energetic. He quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then said: "Who came to you?".
Jiang Yichen had already seen clearly that the Greedy Wolf Gang was just a hunting group composed of a bunch of hunters. None of them were bad in nature, or they were coerced into doing things against their will because of their family members. As he asked the question, , could already notice that the expressions of several people instantly became a little sad. They must have lost a lot of people because of this, otherwise how could a gang only have these eight people left.
"It's the Tushita Gang." Obviously Jiang Yichen was asking about eight people, and Zhai Ben kept silent, but that didn't mean that the others didn't tell, and if the others did, Zhai Ben couldn't blame them.
"Oh, that's all. It's me who feels sorry for my brothers. It's because I couldn't lead you to fight against the Tusita Gang, which resulted in the death of twenty-four brothers. It's because I'm the boss and it's useless." After hearing so much, Zhai Ben His emotions were in turmoil, and he was breathing heavily.
"No, boss, I don't blame you. After all, it's the Tushita Gang."
"That's right, boss, that's the Tushita Gang. We can't beat them and we can't afford to offend them. If we don't obey them in front of them, either our family will suffer, or we will be slaughtered by them."
"Yes, boss, brothers can understand your pain, and brothers will not blame you."
"What did Toutita do to you?" Jiang Yichen asked, feeling that he was approaching an important clue.
"The strength of our hunters is laying ambushes and traps. A few days ago, Chang Kun, the great protector of the Tushita Gang, came to our door and asked us to help them lay out large-scale hunting traps. Although they didn't tell us what they would be used for, I I already knew that the intention was to ambush the passing merchants, so I wanted to refuse, but the other party immediately threatened our family's lives, so I had no choice but to agree," Zhai Ben said.
"Ambush the passing merchants?" Jiang Yichen was shocked when he heard this.
"The poisoned animal trap, the giant hunting net with thorns, the horse trap." Zhai Ben said.
"This...is this the reason why many people on official roads suddenly disappeared in the past two days?" Jiang Yichen said.
"We only provide tools and manpower. We are helpless." Zhai Ben lowered his head.
"So, your brothers in the gang helped to ambush the passing merchants and were accidentally killed?" Jiang Yichen asked sharply.
"The knife is placed on the neck of the family. If you don't want to see your family die in front of you, you can only work for the Tushita Gang. Most of their ambush targets are those who know some skills. If they encounter a master or two, We can only be cannon fodder." There seemed to be no emotion in Zhai Ben's words.
"That's the case. How many votes did you follow?" Jiang Yichen asked.
"Two trips."
"Did anyone meet anyone from the government during the two trips?"
"People from the government? There don't seem to be any."
"Why did I only do this to you twice?"
"In just two times, they learned all our skills, and in just two times, they took the lives of more than twenty of my brothers."
"So, you are useless to the Tushita Gang?"
"right."
"Then why didn't they kill you to silence you?"
"Kill them? Haha, you underestimate the Tushita Gang. How can they take us ants seriously?"
"Then you are already prepared for someone to come and question you?"
"I was confident, but I didn't expect that a little kid like you would be here."
"Why don't you report it to the official?"
"Hey, from what you say, the Tushita Gang dares to attack the government. Can the government restrain the Tushita Gang?"
"...You really don't know about spiders?" Jiang Yichen asked the last sentence to everyone, but there was no response.
"Excuse me." Jiang Yichen untied Zhai Ben's acupuncture points and tried to pull away.
"Little baby, you come and go as you please, you are too presumptuous!" Zhai Ben held back a lot of resentment. As soon as his acupuncture points were healed, his grief and anger turned into anger, and he rushed into the sky with anger. The cold air had not yet dissipated. Then he reached out and pulled out the small crossbow from his waist, turned on the weapon with one hand, and shot a hidden arrow into Jiang Yichen's heart.
After the previous conversation, Jiang Yichen was in a low mood. He obviously did not expect that Zhai Ben would suddenly have murderous intentions towards him and was completely unprepared.
