Chapter 448 [Eating from Both Ends]

At the end of the You hour on the second day, Xue Wei and his group arrived at Xieyangpo.

Just like the first time they went "fishing", they stopped on the sunny slope to rest and start cooking.

at the same time.

Zhang Tongban took the leaders of the villages he had "tricked" and hid in the ravines near Xiyangpo. This time, a total of six people from the villages came.

In addition to the people from his own Gold and Silver Village, Zhang Tongban called people from five other villages over, which was two more than what he had told Xue Wei.

The number of people in Jinyinzhai and these five villages is almost 500.

Zhang Tongban observed that on the first night, Xue Wei's men were already having difficulty capturing the 150 of them.

Only with the help of that group of poisonous insects could Xue Wei subdue them all.

The main advantage of the insect's attack is surprise.

Now, the new group of bandits he had recruited were already prepared. Everyone was equipped with kerosene, fire starters and other flammable items to prevent being attacked by poisonous insects again.

Zhang Tongban would not just obey Xue Wei so obediently and work hard for him.

He planned to take advantage of the situation.

Didn’t Xue Wei ask him to call more people to rob? Then he would just use the human wave tactic.

That's why he tested Xue Wei during dinner last night. He didn't expect Xue Wei and the others to tell the truth, he just wanted to test their reaction.

That boss Guan said that they could barely handle more than 200 people. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but if this number is doubled, this team of less than 50 people will definitely be unable to escape!

After all, the difference in numbers is ten times!

It would be best if these 500 bandits could kill Xue Wei. If Xue Wei was able to control all the people from the five new villages, then he would have no choice but to surrender!

Moreover, Xue Wei would have no excuse to deal with him if he wanted to. After all, "the more people we bring in, the better" was what Xue Wei said himself, and these people could all become his "achievements" that could earn him rewards and points.

In either of these two situations, he will definitely make a profit.

Of course, the second scenario is almost impossible.

Because this time, they have a trump card.

The two extra villages, Fuxin Village and Fenglai Village, were recruited as elite reinforcements by the leaders of these two villages who sent people to travel over a hundred miles overnight for a copper coin.

The leaders of these two villages are extraordinary.

The leader of Fenglai Village is named Mu Chengfeng, who is said to be the son of the leader of the martial arts world. He knows many people in the martial arts world and has relatives and friends all over the country.

Mu Chengfeng is nicknamed "Little Lightning". He is extremely fast and can get in front of people and take their lives in the blink of an eye.

According to word of mouth among the bandits, Mu Chengfeng inherited the family's martial arts secrets. As long as those who defected to Fenglai Village followed Mu Chengfeng to learn the skills, their martial arts skills would improve dramatically within half a year.

Fuxin Village is a village that emerged last year.

None of the bandits roaming around the northwest knew exactly when this village appeared.

By the time the bandits learned of the existence of this village, this little-known village had already made a big fortune.

While other bandit villages robbed merchant caravans and ordinary civilians, Fuxin Village directly robbed the Northwest Tiger General Yao Chengping's team that was transporting food and fodder.

If you don’t open for a year, you can make enough money to eat after you open.

The food and fodder escorted by the Northwest Army was robbed by a group of bandits. Yao Chengping was furious and sent an army of a thousand men to wipe out Fuxin Village.

As a result, not only did they fail to find the main nest of Fuxin Village, but they also suffered heavy losses.

The supplies of this thousand-man army and the armor and weapons of the soldiers were all stripped away.

At that time, the Khan of the northwestern Bol grassland was extremely arrogant. The grassland people not only abolished and closed the market where they exchanged goods, but also came to the border to provoke several times.

Yao Chengping had no time to send more people to suppress the bandits, so he had to swallow this loss.

The fact that Yao Chengping sent people to suppress the bandits caused a huge uproar. When other villages heard the news, they all kept their tails between their legs. After learning that Fuxin Village had made General Menghu helpless, they were in awe and very surprised.

It was the first time they heard of the existence of this village.

Zhang Tongban's people were very active. If any of the villages had something they couldn't buy, they would place an order with Jinyinzhai, and Jinyinzhai would try to get it from the five northwestern cities or the interior of the country.

Fuxinzhai also placed an order with Zhang Tongban. Zhang Tongban didn't know the location of Fuxinzhai, but he knew how to contact the people in Fuxinzhai, so this time he explained the matter to Fuxinzhai with a trial attitude.

Unexpectedly, Fuxinzhai actually agreed to come.

Zhang Tongban was ecstatic, now it was stable!

This is a village that can suppress a thousand-man Northwest Tiger Army with its own strength!

How can a few dozen Miao people fight back?

One of the bandit leaders standing next to Zhang Tongban, observing that Xue Wei's group on the slopes of the setting sun consisted of only a handful of men, said in a snarling tone, "Old Zhang, you were saying back then how powerful and arrogant Master Xue was, but now he only has so few men, and you called in people from six villages?"

The others also agreed deeply and did not take Xue Wei seriously at all.

"Five hundred people surrounded this team of less than fifty people, you are kidding me!"

Mu Chengfeng, the leader of Fenglai Village, sounded disappointed. He was the youngest and most handsome among all the leaders, but no one dared to look down on him and they all respected him.

"Yes, I see they only have five carts carrying goods. The little they brought wouldn't even be enough to fill our six villages' gaps after dividing the spoils."

"I've already said that our main goal this time is not to divide the spoils, but to get rid of Xue Wei and his gang and prevent him from taking up his post in the northwest."

Only the person sent by Fuxin Village did not speak. The man was tall and his face was covered tightly, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.

This man was nicknamed "Wolf Green" because he had met Zhang Tongban several times because he looked for Zhang Tongban to place orders and pick up goods.

"Don't worry, there must be a reason why they are so confident."

Zhang Tongban's eyes kept hinting at him: "And have you forgotten what my men said?"

Zhang Tongban Jinyinzhai's men have already told the people in each village the truth about this "robbery", saying that Xue Wei wanted their boss to trick people from other villages and use methods such as witchcraft to make all the bandits in the area submit to him.

Any bandits who don’t cooperate will be killed, and any village that doesn’t cooperate will be destroyed.

But their boss Zhang Tongban is a man of integrity and doesn't want to do such a thing.

After hearing this, the bandits in various villages shared a common hatred and prepared to gather together to kill this arrogant county magistrate.

Mu Chengfeng nodded helplessly, "Alright, killing them and eliminating the trouble forever is the most important thing."

People from other villages echoed him:

"These corrupt officials in the imperial court are so disgusting!"

"These people are so confident that they want to turn all of us brothers in the underworld into their laborers and make us work for them for nothing."

"When are we going to start? Xue Wei, that pretty boy, looks like he deserves a beating."
