Chapter 94, Lingzhi's Rebellion

Generally speaking, thieves who can be famous in the north are more or less capable.

Most of the northerners are martial and have strong folk customs. They have collide and confronted with horses for years. How can they not have blood in their bones? If you want to gain a foothold in such an environment, you really need some wrists.

As the number one person on the border between Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County, Niu Hai often talks about such words. On the one hand, it is popular and on the other hand, it shows his personal status. I have to say that taking advantage of today's chaotic world, he has the ability to gain a foothold at the junction of the two counties. His brothers who have pinned their heads to the waist of his trousers can at least have a mouthful of food every day and even drink a few sieves of wine from time to time.

Not only does Niu Hai feel complacent when he can afford to raise so many people? After all, he has done something that even the government can't do, and even his subordinates feel at ease. There will never be a life to live an honest life.

What makes Niu Hai feel most proud is that he got the nickname "Northern Wolf". Thieves with nicknames and thieves without nicknames are obviously two grades. The meaning of the former is like a symbol of success. In fact, his initial nickname was not as domineering as "Northern Wolf". As for the nickname that made him very dissatisfied, it soon disappeared cleanly. After a deliberate arrangement, he had such a favorite title.

These are all old things, and just a month ago, Niu Hai ushered in a very proud opportunity in his life.

I have to say that he valued this encounter very much, because he is very likely to completely get rid of his identity as a "thief" through this encounter and become a hegemon. According to his understanding, this is a good time for him to climb another career peak, so from the beginning, he did not dare to relax at all and arrange everything properly.

Just a month ago, a mysterious man found Niuhai with a bag of gold through the contacts in the town.

It's not just a group of Niu Hai's men, but even Niu Hai himself has rarely seen shiny gold. From time to time, the north will be attacked by the barbarians, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. After all, it is not as rich as the Central Plains. The places where Niu Hai and others are active have become high-risk areas that attract people's attention. Most of the businesses are partners, and how can those who fall alone bring such valuable things as gold?

For this mysterious man's generous use of gold as a gift, Niu Hai has already felt the sincerity of the other party and the power behind him. He must have this mind, otherwise how can he get to this day?

The mysterious man did not report his home, nor did he make any unnecessary disclosures. He only said that he entrusted Niu Hai to do a murder andyue yue huo, and then gave him 5,000 gold after it was completed. Unfortunately, it will certainly not be so easy to get 5,000 yuan worth of gold. Even Niu Hai himself has heard of the great name of Zu Zhao, the "Dragon City Flying General", which is indeed the elegant demeanor of a young hero.

Because of this, he gathered a group of "the mob" to test it first. As expected, the 5,000 gold was indeed not so good. Fortunately, the mysterious man quickly sent someone to send a sum of money. Although it was far less than 5,000 gold, it was more or less an income. And this time his task is to launch an attack on Lingzhi County in accordance with the plan drawn up by the mysterious man, and it is best to capture the county government in one fell swoop.

The bold act of attacking the county could not be thought of in the past, but after listening to the plan drawn up by the mysterious man, he immediately felt that this may not be impossible. What's more, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, even if he is a grass bandman, he has to talk about the morality of the world. Otherwise, once it spreads out, how can he gain a foothold in the future?

At this moment, Niu Hai is riding on horseback, walking slowly from west to northeast with a group of men. The horse under his seat was obtained during the looting a long time ago, but it is a pity that a good northern horse is now very thin because of the bumpy displacement and the lack of good feed. His idea is to kill the "old horse" in a few days. This is his usual practice.

The undulating hills and woodlands, and the thick snow on the ground reflects the light and shadow of branches with teeth and claws.

Behind him, more than a hundred people followed lazily, showing impatience and fatigue.

These thieves who live a bloody life on the edge of the knife are also veterans, but it is because they are veterans that they know that this kind of life is not as dangerous as the outside world does. Their leader Niu Hai is a thoughtful person who has made sufficient judgments on every action and will never rush to do it like some huge caravans. In this case, I just occasionally look for some soft persimmons and pinch them, but if I touch them, how can these soft persimmons resist?

Over time, there is really an illusion of comfort.

Just climbed over a small hill, and the lush forest in front of it is getting dense.

At this time, a thin man trotted from the rear team. From afar, he shouted to Niu Hai, "Big, big boss, the news is coming, Yangshan is coming."

Niu Hai strangled the reins, turned around, and asked casually, "Is Yan Laosan back?"

The thin man nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the third master is resting behind and asked me to talk to the master first. Liu An has invited those exiles to go to Lingzhi County, saying that they will go outside the county tonight. According to the prior agreement, they will make trouble outside the city tonight.

Niu Hai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Oi, let them make trouble for a while first, and tonight we will take advantage of the fire to rob. Oh, by the way, did Lao San say how many people there are on Liu An's side?

The thin man replied, "Today, there are almost 400 people. Liu An also found a lot of guys to send to the people, most of whom are iron, and I don't know where this guy got it.

Niu Hai snorted coldly and said disapprovingly, "He has a way. We don't need to care about it. Anyway, we just need to take care of ourselves. If we can call into the city tonight, hey, tomorrow I will be the county magistrate of Lingzhi. As long as this banner is put up, we will respond to Changcheng County. Hey hey, I'm going to be majestic tomorrow.

The thin man quickly smiled and said, "The big boss is extraordinary and powerful. At that time, the big masters must help the little ones well.

Niu Hai looked at the thin man in front of him, thought for a while, turned his eyes, and finally said as if to cover the coffin, "Monkey Jiu, if you have done great work in the past, and I will be promoted to the fifth head of the county government. That's it."

The thin man named Monkey Jiu was overjoyed and hurriedly promised to thank him: "Thank you, big boss, thank you very much."

Niu Hai said proudly, "Well, copy the guy tonight, you have to work harder. Even if I praise you as the big head, you still have to show your ability to convince your brothers, understand?"

Monkey Jiu said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will live up to the expectations of the big head."

This group of mountain thieves continued to move forward. About half an hour later, they had reached the boundary of Balipu.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Niu Hai let the team take a detour. In early spring, a piece of ice and snow in the north, even if hundreds of people march in broad daylight, it will not be so easy to find. Nowadays, Lingzhi County is in danger, and it is in the period of preparing for robbers. It is freezing. How can there be idle people who dare to walk around outdoors? Niu Hai also did not send people to explore the road in front of him or arrange to be on guard around him. He just chose a reliable road based on his many years of personal experience.

These thieves scattered through Balipu and gradually disappeared into a snow-covered woodland in the direction of Lingzhi County. At this time, a pile of snow bags suddenly bulged up on the mound near the side of Balipu Town. At a glance, Chad thought that something was gushing out from under the thick snow, which was really weird.

However, soon, the snow bag broke and a figure stood out of it.

The man's whole body is white, with a hooded shawl wrapped around his outer body, and the inside is a hood, and through the neckline of the hood, he can also see a leather armor under the hood. He half squatted and stared at the team of thieves who had gone far away. It was not until he could see anyone at all that he stood up completely and quickly ran to Balipu Town.
