Chapter 15 Dispute

Boss Qian asked loudly, and the others also turned their eyes to the fat man at this time.

There is nothing to hide about the enemy. The fat man said, "From my visual inspection, the enemy is about four or five thousand, surrounded by us from the east, west and south respectively. There is nothing abnormality in the north."

"What are you waiting for! Let's flee north together!" Tang Liu shouted loudly, and the others also responded. Although there were many of them, no one had the courage to confront the imperial regular army head-on.

"Okay, in this case, let's flee north together." Boss Qian stood up and gave orders. At this time, there was a disdainful sneer: "Escape to the north? Maybe there have been traps waiting for us.

Boss Qian turned his head and looked at it. It was the fat man who spoke with a sneer.

Everyone's eyes fell on the fat man again, but the fat man's expression remained unchanged and said lightly, "There are enemies on all three sides, and only the north can escape. Since the city lord Green has set up such a large position, he will naturally not let us run away so easily. I dare to assert that there must be an ambush in the north!"

There was a solemn look on everyone's faces, but Zhang Kui, who was beside him, said anxiously, "Oh, brother, don't tell me what we should do now."

The fat man concluded, "You can go to the southeast and west, but only the north."

"Well, I think you want to take us to a dead end! There are enemies on those three sides. In case we can't rush out and be closed by the other two armies, we can only die!"

The fat man looked at Tang Liu, who was talking coldly, and said in a low voice, "We have 3,000 horse thieves. How can't we rush out!"

"This..." Tang Liuyu was stuffed, and then he shouted angrily, "Anyway, I don't care. I don't see an enemy army in the north. Why should we listen to you to confront those regular troops? Humph, if you don't leave, I'll go. I'm afraid I'll be killed by those soldiers later!"

Tang Liu said and strode out. Several horse thief leaders beside him hesitated and followed him out.

Boss Qian's face showed a look of hesitation. At this time, the head of the horse thief who had been silent since the fat man came came to Boss Qian and said lightly, "I have the least people here. This fat man's way is unknown. I won't fight with my brother's life and say goodbye."

With that, Triangle Eye followed Tang Liu and others and went out. At this time, several horse thief leaders who were still hesitating just now finally made a decision and went out one after another. Boss Qian shook his head and stopped looking at the fat man. He just said to his men beside him, "Get your brothers ready, and we will also go north."

A sneer appeared at the corners of the fat man's mouth. He didn't say anything more and turned around and walked out.

Walking to a quiet place, there is a slightly cold night breeze. The fat man took a deep breath, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Looking back, Zhang Kui strode over and said sincerely, "Brother, big brother believes you! We will do what you say you want to do!"

The fat man stopped and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes. He had not known Zhang Kui for a long time, but Zhang Kui could give all the lives of his brothers to him. This trust must not be moved by the fat man.

"Those bastards are all idiots. I, Zhang Kui, am not stupid. Come on, brother, do you think we are heading west or south?"

The fat man shook his head calmly and said, "They are not stupid. They are just thinking about how to save their strength. The Green Lord is very smart. Even if we can see through his tricks, it won't help. He knows too well the nature of these horse thieves.

Although the fat man said that he was not himself, Zhang Kui's face still couldn't help blushing a little. Fortunately, his face was dark, and the sky was dark and it didn't look real. They are horse thieves who come and go like the wind. They are used to it and hope that the soldiers will escape. If they really go to compete head-on with the regular army of the empire, there will really be an instinctive resistance.

"Brother, what do you think we should do now?" Zhang Kui looked at the fat man, but the fat man stared into his eyes brightly and said, "Go north, we also go north with them."

"To the north? Brother, didn't you say..."

"Yes, although I'm sure that the traps have been set there waiting for us, do we still have a choice now?" The fat man explained with a wry smile, "If all the horse thieves can work together, we can break through from one of the three sides of the east and west, but now since they all choose to flee north, relying only on the more than 200 brothers led by Brother Zhang, it is difficult for us to rush out, and now we can only take one step."

The regular soldiers of the Barton Empire surrounded three and one, and the horse thieves fled north. It's not that no horse thief can see the danger, but as the fat man said, this group of horse thieves are just rabbles. Even if someone can see that they have the idea of self-preservation, it is difficult for them to really turn around and fight with the regular army. What's more, they still have a vague idea in their hearts: Maybe, all this is just self- What about scaring yourself? Maybe, in the north, there is no soldier at all...

The self-deceiving horse thieves rushed to the front of the imperial cavalry surrounding the valley and galloping towards the north. The leader was Tang Liu and several other horse thief leaders. Boss Qian followed him closely. Behind him, he was followed by other doubtful horse thieves, including the triangular eye. Zhang Kui and his more than 200 brothers followed at the end slowly at the sign of the fat man.

Unlike the vast desert in the south, the more you go north, the more the terrain gradually becomes undulating, and there are more hills and mountains.

The fat man looked back from afar. With the bright moonlight, he could faintly see the blurred shadows on the distant horizon.

"It's really haunted. They are still following us." Zhang Kui muttered a few curses, and then looked at the fat man and said, "Should we let our brothers speed up and turn around a few passes? Maybe they will never find us again."

Only Boss Qian and the many horse thieves behind him can be seen in the distance. As for Tang Liu, they can no longer see him. More than half an hour later, no trace of the enemy has been found. The fat man's judgment seems to be really wrong.

The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't wait for him to speak. Suddenly, a sharp bird song came from the sky. A dark shadow flew quickly from the north. His wings spread and glided and stopped on the fat man's shoulder.

"Bing, beep!" Xiaofei screamed and flew into the air from time to time to make various flying gestures.

"What does it want to say?" Lolita came over with a curious face.

"Xiao Fei said that there was an ambush hidden in the canyon in front of him." The fat man explained casually, and then turned to Zhang Kui and said, "Is there any other intersection here?"

Zhang Kui looked at Xiaofei with a surprised face. He didn't know how the fat man could see that there was an ambush in front of him from Xiaofei's call and flying posture. Although he didn't know whether there was an ambush in front of him, there was a canyon in front of him, which was true. Zhang Kui knew that the fat man was not familiar with the terrain here, so he looked like I'm stunned.

Hearing the fat man's words, Zhang Kui shook his head with an incredible face and said, "You are really powerful. You're right. There is indeed a canyon there, and it is a place you must go through. As long as you pass through this canyon, the terrain in front of you will become a vast desert. At that time, you will get rid of the pursuers and become It's easy."

The fat man frowned more tightly: "So there is no other way to go?"

"Yes, but the mountain road is rugged, and it is extremely difficult to walk if you ride a horse."

"That's fine, as long as there is still a way to go. Speed up, we need to escape from the path before the imperial army reacts. Drive!"

The fat man held the horse's abdomen tightly, and the horse under him hissed and rushed forward. Zhang Kui led more than 200 men to follow closely.

*

"Big Qian, why don't you go in?" When Triangle Eye and other horse thief leaders came to the front of the canyon, they found that Boss Qian and his men were wandering in front of the canyon, hesitating.

"If there is an ambush in the north as the fat man said, the ambush must be in this canyon..." Boss Qian squinted at the entrance of the canyon, and his face was very solemn.

The triangular eyes sneered, cracked his mouth, and showed a mouthful of cold white teeth: "I always thought Boss Qian was a hero, but now I know it's just some rumors. Then Tang Liu has the courage to take people in. Is Boss Qian afraid?

Tang Liu and some other leading horse thief leaders have entered the canyon. Boss Qian hesitated at the entrance of the canyon. Although he was worried about ambush, he also had the suspicion of cowardice. Horse thieves always lived a life of licking blood with a knife. They looked down on timid people the most. The triangular eyes were excited. Although Boss Qian had many men But at this time, he couldn't help blushing, and the men next to him stared angrily at the triangular eyes. Just waiting for Boss Qian's order, he was going to make trouble on the spot!

The sound of the horse's hoof suddenly came from the canyon in front of him. Looking up, he saw a horse thief clapping out of the canyon.

Everyone's faces showed doubt, but the thief saw that the horse thief ran over on horseback after seeing Boss Qian.

"I'm under Boss Tang Liu. Everything is normal in the canyon. Our boss is afraid that you will waste time here after listening to the fat man's nonsense, so he specially asked me to tell the bosses."

Boss Qian's face was purple, but the other thieves were all happy. Just as he was about to order his horse thief to enter the canyon, a shout came from behind him. Everyone turned around and saw that one of Zhang Kui's brothers was coming.

"Wait! Boss, wait, our boss said that there are ambushes hidden in the canyon, and the boss must not go in!"

The two messages before and after were completely opposite. Everyone stopped their horses, but in hesitation, they all looked at the boss Qian, who had the most troops here.

"Why don't we wait until Zhang Kui comes over?" Boss Qian hesitated to look at the crowd. There was a joking look in his triangular eyes and said, "That Zhang Kui fell at the end. How can I know if there is an ambush in this canyon? Haha, it's a joke. Why don't we all stay here and wait for the imperial soldiers to come and cut off our heads one by one?

The words of the triangle eye are very disgraceful. The murderousness flashed in Boss Qian's eyes, but the triangular eye was indifferent. He pulled the rein and said to everyone: "If you wait here, I don't want to wait here like an idiot. Let's go."

The triangular eye took people into the canyon, and several other horse thief leaders looked at each other. Compared with Zhang Kui, who was still behind, they were obviously more willing to believe that Tang Liu had entered the canyon. They were about to take his men into the canyon, and then there were a few rides behind them. The first people were Fat Man and Zhang Kui.

"It's a dead end to go in. Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?" The fat man looked at the horse thief leaders with a joking face.

"Tang Liu has gone in and sent someone out to say that everything is normal inside." Boss Qian said with a calm face.

"Oh? Tang Liu's subordinates? Is that you?" The fat man's eyes and knives generally fell on Tang Liu's men and said coldly, "Your boss has passed through the canyon?"

"It hasn't passed yet, but..."

The fat man smiled coldly and didn't listen to the man's explanation. He said slowly, "Mr. Tang Liu is a good man. He only knew he was going to remind us halfway. It seems that I misunderstood him before."

As soon as the fat man said this, the others changed their faces in an instant. None of the horse thief leaders present were strong people who were not licking blood with a knife. The fat man just reminded them a little, and they thought of the strangeness of this matter. Naturally, Tang Liu will not be a good person. He will send someone to inform everyone to go in. This matter itself is full of strangeness! What's more, he only walked half way, so how could he suddenly send someone kindly to remind him?

"I also wonder how the owner of Green City happened to know our party place and set up a trap waiting for us. Boss Tang Liu is really a good means." The fat man looked at Tang Liu's men with a smile, but there was a murder in his eyes.

The others also changed color at this time. Tang Liu's men saw that the matter was exposed. As soon as they pulled the reins of the horse, they rushed to the direction of the canyon.

"Looking for death!" With an angry shout, Tang Liu's men fell down in the buzzing of the bow strings, and a black feather arrow in the back of his heart trembled.

"Big Qian is good at archery." The fat man cheered, but Boss Qian felt that there was light on his face. He threw the long bow to his men and said to the fat man with a grateful face, "Thanks to you today, brother, otherwise I'm afraid we will really fall here."

"All the bosses are bright-eyed people. Even without me, they will not be deceived by these villains." The fat man didn't want to make a contribution and said lightly, "When Tang Liu saw that the matter was exposed, I'm afraid the imperial soldiers will soon react. What we have to do now is to quickly choose another path and get around the canyon to get out of here."

A burglar leader in a nearby power territory said, "I know it well here. There is a path in the mountain on the right to bypass the canyon. But the road is difficult. I'm afraid it will take a day.

At this time, Zhang Kui's brothers had also run over. The fat man nodded and said, "It's not too late. Please lead the way in front of this big brother. We have to leave here before the pursuers react."

Although it is difficult to take the mountain path, it is just a waste of a day at most. At this time, the leaders of the horse thief naturally knew how to choose. They left the canyon shortcut one after another and followed the difficult mountain path.

Not long after everyone left, there was a desperate scream from afar in the canyon. Looking far into the distance, the direction of the canyon was full of fire, and the dark night sky was shining red. Everyone looked at each other in con's eyes, and the leaders of the horse thieves, who were still a little suspicious, all looked at the fat man with gratitude. If it hadn't been for the fat man's repeatedly reminded, I'm afraid that they would really die in this canyon today!

"Look, it's the triangular eye and his men." A horse thief's head was sharp-eyed and saw the triangular eye chasing from behind.

At this time, the triangular eye lost the spirit just now. He hung his head with a gray face, and even his men were all colored and embarrassed.

"Damn Tang Liu, I almost died there!" The triangular eyes gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't been far in. The canyon is quiet and scary. When I realized that there was something strange and wanted to come out, countless soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides. Fortunately, I had a big life, but it was a pity that more than a dozen brothers who died there..."

When everyone heard the words of the triangular eye, they couldn't help but be afraid at this time. They thought that these soldiers also saw the people choosing to leave, and then they finally made trouble. They wanted to catch all the people who entered the canyon. If they and others really entered the canyon, the consequences would make people feel numb if they just think about it!

The more afraid they are, the more everyone is grateful to the fat man. There is no strange color on the fat man's face, but Lolita turned her eyes and came closer and whispered, "Although this horse thief is just a mob, if it is used well, it will also be a strange soldier."

The fat man looked at her with a faint smile and said lightly, "What do children know? Don't care about adult affairs."

"I'm not a child, huh!" Lolita curled her lips and no longer took care of the abominable fat man. McGonifis behind her came to him with a flattering face. Lolita rolled her eyes, clamped the horse's belly hard, and went to talk to the little demon in front of her.

The small mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk. People have to get off the horse and walk. Fortunately, it hasn't rained in recent days, otherwise the muddy mountain road will be more difficult to walk.

There are many forks on the mountain paths. Along the way, the experienced horse thief leader will deliberately let the horses leave a long string of horseshoe marks at each intersection at the fork in the road. Even if the pursuers behind him can catch up here, I'm afraid they will be dizzy and don't know which way to chase.

After turning around in the mountains for more than an hour, after confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, the horse thieves, who had already been trapped, re-established their tents. Except for some horse thieves responsible for vigilance, the rest fell asleep.

There are too many horse thieves. Except for some important people who can sleep in the tent, the rest of them usually just sleep in the open air. Ordinary horse thieves can sleep peacefully. Almost all of them think that this matter is over. They have successfully escaped the pursuit of the imperial soldiers. As long as they come out of this mountain path, waiting for them is the vast wilderness of freedom.

At this time, the fat man's tent was brightly lit. The little demon who had been tired for a day had already fallen asleep safely. Only the fat man's eyes were bright, as if he was waiting for something.

Suddenly, the thick tent was lifted from the outside, and a dark shadow flashed into the tent.
