Liao Sanniang felt dark in her heart, frowned, looked at the big man, and said to Xiao Bazi: "Call Lao Feng over. His cold heart will definitely be able to persuade this good man."
After Liao Sanniang finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the road she was walking on. The dirt road was empty at both ends, and the road surface twisted and stretched to both ends under the shadow of trees. She didn't know her destination or where she was going.
When the motorcade stopped, Lao Feng walked up to Liao Sanniang, stepped forward and bowed, waiting for instructions.
Liao Sanniang glanced at the big man lying on the ground and said to Old Feng: "You must not be a good person if you follow him in such a sneaky way. Senior brother, let's ask some questions to see what the plot is. We are halfway there and cannot afford to delay, so we need to hurry up."
Old Feng nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, madam."
Old Feng turned around and waved his hands to the two workers beside him, saying, "Help me."
Two men came over, and the three of them picked up the man and dragged him into the bushes beside the road not far away.
Liao Sanniang had no expression on her face and just watched the three men act coldly. Torture was the fastest way.
Liao Sanniang raised her chin to Xiao Bazi and said, "Go and invite senior brothers Zhao and Liu to come over for a meeting."
After a while, a scream came from the bushes. The scream only came out halfway and then stopped suddenly, as if it was gagged.
The figures of Lao Feng and the others were obscured by the shadows of the trees, and it was not clear what they were doing from the outside. Only the cigarette butts in Lao Feng's mouth flickered in the darkness, marking their positions.
Liao Sanniang didn't wait long. Lao Feng was always very efficient and never disappointed. He came back soon.
Liao Sanniang didn't know what method he used, so she gave him a slightly questioning look.
Old Feng spit out the cigarette butts in his mouth and said with a smile: "Such a dirty trick, I didn't say it to dirty my wife's ears. This man's tendons are the most delicate. When he puts the steel wire through, he doesn't even care about his ancestors."
That's it." After saying that, Lao Feng threw away the bloody steel wire in his hand.
Liao Sanniang frowned in disgust and asked, "Where are the roads made?"
Lao Feng replied: "As Xiao Bazi said, a few deserters gathered some rogue grass bandits from the surrounding villages, about thirty people, and went around doing this private business without any capital. Now we are lucky.
We bumped into each other. This person was a sentry. When we were refilling water and resting at the road store, he saw that our car was heavily rutted. He figured that there must be treasure in the car, so he sent the sentry. There were two people, and one of them went back and forth to report. Just now
When they passed the fork in the road, the other one went back to retaliate, leaving only this one to follow. The sentry confessed that the group of thieves had arranged an ambush in front of them, setting up ambushes at the front and back.
One wants to rob us by fire."
After hearing this, Liao Sanniang felt a little calmer. Most of the bandit gangs in the countryside only have five to ten people. Fifty people are a line. If they exceed it, they will gather faster. Soon they will reach hundreds or thousands of people, capable of robbery.
The capabilities of the prefecture and county.
Around thirty people is a number in the growth stage, which means that this small-scale wandering gang already has a basic backbone and has the conditions to grow into a dynamic social organization.
Liao Sanniang licked her broken hair on her temples with her hands and said, "How far is the ambush from here?"
Old Feng said: "Just turn around another intersection."
Liao Sanniang didn't expect the enemy to be so close. She squinted her eyes and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Xiao Bazi said angrily from behind: "In the city, I met idle people trying to steal money, and when I left the city, I met such unrelated strong thieves. How could I be so unlucky?"
Liao Sanniang snorted coldly and said: "It's not that we are unlucky, it's just that we are in troubled times. Such things are normal. This place is closer to the capital and there are no large groups of bandits. If it is further away, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Sichuan and other places,
The government and the army are running rampant and the local bandits are running wild. That is called lawlessness. They slaughter villages in the daytime, even if they kill thousands of people, it is nothing. What we have to deal with from the beginning is not just these kidnappers, but also these people.
In the chaotic world, the escort industry is of no use in governing the world. It is difficult to survive in troubled times. In the end, it is just a gap in the river of history. But these thirty bandits have to deal with us, but they also take us too seriously.
It’s too small.”
Liao Sanniang turned her face to look at Zhao Liangjian and said, "What do you think, Senior Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Liangjian was a muscular man in his thirties with a thin face, wearing a roll-brimmed felt hat, a green short coat, and blue and white fish scale leggings on his calves.
Zhao Liangjian looked up at the sky and said: "It's too late now. We have traveled this far. If we turn back, we will definitely not be able to make it in time before the city gate is closed. We can only stay outside the city. Moreover, all the pretentiousness of leaving the city will be gone."
It was all in vain, if someone with an intention finds out the details, it will be even more difficult to deposit money out of the city next time."
Liao Sanniang nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why these fugitives want to recruit thieves from their hometown to join their gang is to collude with each other, use the convenience of the hometown to cover up their tracks, and mix among the civilians. When they go out, they are thieves, and when they enter, they are for the people.
, to detect the government news, we cannot go through this crossing this time. Next time we come, we will be more discerning and the thieves will be more greedy."
Liao Sanniang looked at Liu Chang again and asked, "What does Senior Brother Liu think?"
Liu Chang is in his twenties, has a broad face, wears a swastika on his head, a Tsing Yi with a belt tucked in at the hem, soap leather boots on his feet, and leather wristbands on both arms with copper nails on them. I heard the question
, replied in a muffled voice: "Sister, Senior Brother Zhao has made up his mind, I will follow."
Liao Sanniang continued: "With the money on our backs, the mule cart could not move fast. When we were young, the thieves didn't see us and gathered together to kill us from behind. We had no way to avoid it and were forced to meet the enemy. On the contrary, we lost the opportunity. What if
Strike first to gain the upper hand and get through. If you are really defeated, don't be reluctant to fight. Retreat for now and leave the silver cart to them. There are only a few of them, so the cart of silver is carried on shoulders and cannot be moved with hand luggage, so it becomes a burden.
, I have tied my own hands and feet, and while they are fighting for the silver, we can wait for the killer to come back, and we can still maneuver. Just don't lose your hands easily, everything will be over if one dies."
Zhao Liangjian nodded and said: "We have walked more than half the distance now. After passing this level, we will reach Zhuangzi in twenty miles. Fifteen people versus thirty people can fight."
Xiao Bazi asked from the side: "How dare the thieves be so rampant? They robbed during the day."
Liu Chang shook his head and interjected: "Under the jurisdiction of various prefectures and counties, the boundaries are divided. Banditry cases occur on the boundaries. Since the officials are not under each other, it is difficult to take responsibility. They often pass the buck and follow the rules. The government
It is impossible to control thieves, so there are so many bandits gathering together, and it is only the common people who suffer. As for bandits, they believe in seeking wealth and honor in danger, kill people like grass, and have a heart of iron. They are most crazy and evil. They cannot be inferred with common sense, let alone drive
It’s not unusual to kill mule carts or even kill officials and burn down government offices, so there’s nothing that such people can’t do.”
Liao Sanniang said to Lao Feng: "Go and question the man carefully to see if there are any discrepancies in his confession. The most important thing is that the number of people must be correct."
Not long after, Lao Feng came back and understood that the report was correct.
Liao Sanniang looked at a few people and said: "The thieves are ambushing one after another. One group has eighteen and nine people blocking the road in front; the other group of ten people is outflanking behind. Let's divide into two groups. Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Liu will escort them.
They drove the car and pretended that nothing happened. When they arrived at the ambush, Brother Zhao stopped and shouted for the escort. The thief did not understand the argot and argot, so he just shouted in plain language. If the thief came out, Brother Zhao and Brother Liu leaned on the cart and led the men to form a formation.
If we don't come out and hold our position, Bazi and I will go around from the side and attack the smaller group from behind, with the oriole behind us. As long as we defeat all the way, the other group will naturally be unable to hide.
Stop and retreat in panic. At this time, you are attacking from the side. When the thief retreats, stop pursuing him and hurry up."
Zhao and Liu were stunned after hearing this. Zhao Liangjian said: "You two are going to fight ten?"
Liao Sanniang lifted up her clothes, took down the short gun at her waist, and said: "I have a bludgeoning weapon. The sound and light can seize the soul. Under the thunder, fire and thunderbolt, I am not afraid of thieves and do not break my courage."
Zhao Liangjian and Liu Chang wanted to talk more, but Liao Sanniang waved her hand and said: "There is no need to discuss, it is just like this. The jungle is deep and dense, and it is difficult to perform with many people. On the contrary, it will be a drag. Two people are enough."
Zhao and Liu saw that Liao Sanniang was so conceited and knew that she was very capable, so they stopped arguing and nodded and went back to prepare.
Liao Sanniang called out to Old Feng again, pulled out another revolver from the package on the horse, stuffed it into Old Feng's hand, and said: "Brother Old Feng, among the people transferred from Guangli, you are the only one who has been trained in shooting short guns. You can use it to shoot."
This gun holds the position down."
Old Feng said worriedly: "Sister Sanniang is very dangerous, it's better for you to take care of her."
Liao Sanniang glanced at Zhao and Liu, forced the short spear into Lao Feng's hand, and said: "My family is close to each other, and my brother is holding the line, so I can rest assured."
Lao Feng and Liao Sanniang looked at each other for a moment, nodded silently, and without refusing, said in a low voice: "Madam, please be patient."
Liao Sanniang whispered: "When you take action, don't use your gun if you win. Only when you lose, do you open fire."
Old Feng grunted, stuffed the dagger under his clothes, and got back into the mule cart and sat down.
Old Feng touched the short gun in his arms, pulled out a piece of cigarette paper, spread it out and sprinkled the tobacco leaves carefully, rolled up the dry smoke and lit it, spit out the smoke ring, and held the cigarette with a steady hand without any fluctuation.
Liao Sanniang finished the arrangements and said no more. She took off her loose cloak, revealing a dark blue tight-fitting battle suit underneath, and a pair of soft combat boots with wedge heels. The boots were a special supply of the special reconnaissance team, so you can get them
It's a privilege.
Liao Sanniang arranged her equipment, tied a belt across her abdomen, slung a belt across her left shoulder, with seven steel darts inserted diagonally on the belt, and a revolver on her right waist.
Liao Sanniang stood on tiptoes, jumped twice on the spot, and did a few stretching and turning movements. She was consciously prepared and there was no obstruction around her body. She just walked to the horse, took off her two swords and slung them at her waist.
Liao Sanniang licked her lips, her face covered with frost, her voice was cold to the bone, and she said coldly: "Bazi, we are going to kill someone, are you afraid?"
Xiao Bazi untied the mud bomb and threw it away, took out a bag of iron marbles from the donkey's back, took out an iron bullet and nestled it in the leather pocket of the slingshot, stretched it twice, then pulled out the elbow-length steel knife from his waist, and cut it on his clothes.
Shang Cengceng, bared his teeth, and said: "On the road of rivers and lakes, if you are afraid of death, you are not a good man, so you can only go forward and kill him to become a mother-in-law."
