Tu Yufan walked quickly through the forest alone. He was able to sense the danger in advance and avoided the wild beasts. It took him more than two hours to reach the village.
The village was located in a valley and had cultivated fields. If it weren't for the thorny hedges surrounding it and the patrols, it would be difficult to tell that it was a bandit's den.
Tu Yufan walked over. The person on duty at the lookout was dozing off, but was instantly awakened by the noise. He was just about to beat the drum to wake everyone up, but when he looked carefully, he realized that Tu Yufan was the only one there.
"Stop! Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Tu Yufan took a few steps closer, not afraid of the other party drawing his bow and arrow, and said, "I'm hungry, I want to find something to eat."
The man on duty secretly took a breath. From the sound of this man, he seemed to be quite old. He looked like a fool. He came to the bandits' lair to seek food. Could he be that group of refugees?
There are too many refugees recently, and there are not many money in the bag. The boss has no interest in intercepting them. He originally wanted to pay tribute to Zhang Yubu of Licheng, but the rebel named Zhang Mazi and the county magistrate directly occupied Licheng, and the prefect and Yubu were both killed.
They no longer have a backer, and no longer have to spend money to maintain relationships. Suddenly, they have lost their goals and have been living a pretty leisurely life lately.
"Old man, there's nothing to eat here, get out!"
Seeing Tu Yufan extending his sword to chop through the thorns and approaching the entrance step by step, the man on duty became anxious and drew his bow to shoot at Tu Yufan.
There was a burst of crackling sounds, and all the arrows were shot down by Tu Yufan without exception.
The man on duty was surprised and puzzled and said, "Hey, this old guy has good eyesight. He shot so many arrows and didn't even hit the target."
The man on duty jumped down directly from the lookout. Another patrolman saw it and they both walked over.
Tu Yufan saw the two approaching and asked, "Where is your boss?"
"Who do you think you are? You need the boss to see you in person!"
The two men drew their knives and slashed at Tu Yufan at once. The knives flashed, and in the blink of an eye, one of them fell straight to the ground, and the other was beaten half to death.
This brief commotion did not alarm anyone else and the village was completely silent.
"The people here are too weak in vigilance. They don't look like the bandits who have escaped the imperial government's crackdown on bandits several times."
The man who was beaten half to death was still half alive and was unable to refute at this time. Who knew that this old man was so powerful? He thought that the two of them were enough to deal with him. He didn't expect this to be the case. If he had known earlier, he would have made a big move to wake up the others. He was careless.
Tu Yufan patted the man's face and asked, "Where does your boss live?"
Although that person couldn't speak, Tu Yufan still saw that his eyes fell on a house. Compared with other houses, that residence seemed particularly luxurious.
Tu Yufan stood up and walked towards the house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a flash of silver light. Tu Yufan turned his body in advance and avoided the crossbow shot.
The person on the bed pulled the bell beside the bed, and the village immediately became brightly lit.
"Hurry up, something happened to the boss."
Dozens of people rushed into the room and saw an old man with white hair sitting on a chair as if nothing had happened.
This person was still eating, seemingly leisurely, but the food on the table disappeared visibly, and their boss was tied up and unable to move.
Tu Yufan finally felt like he had eaten a good meal, and his expression relaxed a lot.
"Who are you? Release the boss!"
