In the square, people gathered here. Except for the guard posts guarding several passages, almost everyone was here. Everyone gathered here to hear what Zheng Xiao was going to tell them.
The strange appearance of the black wolf and his sudden attack on the one-eyed man Yue Ting made people interested in this sturdy black wolf, especially those in the ancient village.
The wolf is very interested.
Hunters have been hunting all their lives. This is the first time they see a wolf like this. Can you not be curious?
Soon, people crowded the square, and people who didn't know it thought something big had happened here.
"Everyone, be quiet. Let me tell you a story." As soon as Zheng Xiao's voice sounded, the square fell silent.
Zheng Xiao stood in the center of the square, surrounded by people, while the black wolf lay leisurely at his feet, curled up, with his head resting on his body, dozing there with his eyes closed, curious about the people's attention towards it.
Turn a blind eye.
"So what happened?" After listening to Zheng Xiao's narration, Zhuge Zhou, the one-eyed man and others all exclaimed. They never expected that there was a very twisty story in it.
It's so amazing that Black Wolf actually sacrificed his life to save Zheng Xiao at such a critical moment, and won one-on-five, finally repelling the siege of the wolves.
The eyes of some girls looking at Hei Lang were filled with little stars. It seemed that their habit of overflowing love could not be changed. At this time, Hei Wolf should have turned into a big, docile and loyal dog in their eyes.
Protect the master.
However, the slowly opening eyes of the black wolf woke up the girls who tried to get close and touch it. The green eyes seemed to warn people: I am a wolf, not a dog.
Zhuge Zhou laughed loudly. He walked forward, patted Zheng Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "Zheng Xiao, you are lucky. I think you can achieve great things."
Zheng Xiao smiled indifferently, neither humble nor arrogant, and then said, "I don't want to do anything big, I just want to protect the people around me and the people I care about."
"This kind of motivation is enough." Du Gang's legs seemed to be much better. At this time, he limped over and said, "Do a good job, brother Zheng. We old guys are still waiting for you to take care of us in our old age."
This sentence made everyone burst into laughter.
After he stopped laughing, Zheng Xiao suddenly remembered something. He said to Zhuge Zhou and Du Gang, "Old man, Brother Du, I want to ask you something."
"If you have anything to say, just tell us, as long as we know." Several old people responded.
Zheng Xiao then recounted Lin Shaofeng's unknown things, and then said, "Do you know if there are any relatively large forces nearby? I think someone must have captured them."
Du Gang frowned and thought for a long time, then waved his hand to call Zhuge Hong and Li Ran over, and asked them, "Xiaosanzi, Xiaoranzi, do you know any gangsters nearby?"
The gangsters he mentioned refer to bandits and other forces.
Zhuge Hong thought for a while and replied, "Within a hundred miles, there are forty-seven bandits. The most are more than three hundred, and the least are only seven or eight."
"Then which group of bandits are closest to your ancient village here?" Zheng Xiao asked.
"That's Xu Mazi from Qingtang Village." Zhuge Hong is very familiar with these things. Although the ancient village is not a bandit force, because everyone practices martial arts and the folk customs are strong, the forces near and far will generally give three points of face.
Dare to provoke them.
Because of this, the ancient village neglected to take precautions, so that the massacre of the village occurred a few days ago, which made Zhuge Zhou and the others furious.
Zheng Xiao asked Zhuge Hong to tell him the details of Qingtang Village, and then asked about the situation of other bandit forces before letting them go back.
After Zhuge Zhou and the others left, Zheng Xiao and the one-eyed man returned to Zheng Xiao's residence, and the two began to discuss the next step of action.
Zheng Xiao wanted to rescue Lin Shaofeng, because after all, he had fought side by side with him, and now he was kidnapped from under his nose, which made him unable to sit idly by.
"In this case, let's start from Qingtang Village, which is closest to the ancient village." The one-eyed man looked at Zheng Xiao and spread out a simple map on the table. This was given to them by the ancient village. Although it was simple, it was very accurate.
, "Look, Qingtang Village is located in the southeast of the ancient village. It is also the westernmost bandit force. There are eleven bandits around it. I think no matter which bandit group did it, they should have some news."
"What do you mean-" Zheng Xiao asked back.
The one-eyed man's single eye flashed with a cold light, but there was a wicked smile on his face, "Of course I'm following the clues."
Hei Lang lay at Zheng Xiao's feet, raised his head and looked at the two men with strange smiles, feeling puzzled as he didn't know what they were laughing at.
Next, the two people discussed how to capture Qingtang Village.
Qingtang Village is connected by three mountains. There are more than thirty bandits on the mountain. The leader of the bandits, Xu Mazi, was a pig butcher. Later, he was forced to go up the mountain to become a bandit because he was drunk and killed someone by mistake.
This man is rude and has no ink in his belly. Apart from his strength, he is not good at anything. Well, if we look at it objectively, he is quite good at killing pigs.
For such a small group of forces, Zheng Xiao and the one-eyed man really didn't take it to heart. It would be very easy to eliminate them. What they need to discuss now is how to take down Qingtang Village without being noticed by other forces. There are plans in advance.
Be prepared.
In this western region, there are five strongest ones, namely: Ma Tou Shan, Mangrove Ridge, Ainaikou, Zhongyi Army and Sipingzhai. These bandit forces have hundreds of people and are well-equipped with weapons and equipment.
If you want to defeat it without any loss, you need to discuss it carefully.
The two of them kept discussing until it was dark and the sun was shining through the window. Only then did they finally finalize the plan. The next step was to improve it.
Seeing that he had said almost everything he needed to say, the one-eyed man stood up and walked out the door, while Zheng Xiao followed to see him off. The two of them walked out of the house one after the other and stood at the door.
The one-eyed man turned around and looked at the black wolf napping at the table in the room. He suddenly whispered, "Old Zheng, this wolf is not simple. You'd better be careful in the future."
Zheng Xiao's eyebrows jumped and he asked in a deep voice, "What did you find?"
The one-eyed man shook his head, turned and walked towards his residence, "No, I just have an intuition that this wolf is definitely not as simple as it appears."
Zheng Xiao stood at the door, watching the one-eyed man go away. After a long time, he walked back to the house and closed the door.
The lights in the room were turned off, and then it became quiet.
