In Ruifeng County.
Chi Wushu gathered the remaining soldiers, his heart bleeding. He brought three thousand tribesmen with him, but now only one thousand were left.
The key point is that they didn't gain any benefits, and the loss is simply unacceptable.
The barbarians who escaped back all looked dejected. The bandits wearing gas masks had left a deep impression on them.
This was the first time they had seen a living "mountain ghost". Although it looked somewhat different from the mountain ghosts circulated in their tribe, it was probably due to regional differences.
"Hang this bastard up and beat him!"
Chi Wushu vented his anger on Liu Xiao. He must have known that there were mountain ghosts on the mountain, but he still asked them to attack. He had no good intentions.
Bang——!
The whip hit Liu Xiao, causing him to scream in pain.
"Chief Chi, those are really not mountain ghosts, they are bandits. You have all been deceived."
"Think about it, if it was really a ghost, would they use a knife? They would just take someone's life directly."
"They have ghost masks on their faces, just to scare people."
After Chi Wushu whipped Liu Xiao a few times, his IQ went up when he heard Liu Xiao's words. Liu Xiao was right. If it was really a ghost, with the power of the ghost, they should have been wiped out and would not have been able to escape at all.
If they were not mountain ghosts, they could only be bandits. Just a few hundred bandits could defeat their two thousand barbarian soldiers and kill them until only a thousand were left. This made Chi Wushu even more angry.
He wanted to beat Liu Xiao again to vent his anger, but then he thought that this guy was also a talented person. If he beat him to death, it would be difficult to find another person like him, so he had to give up.
But he was angry and it would be too painful if he didn't vent.
Asking someone to untie Liu Xiao's rope, Chi Wushu looked at Liu Xiao and said gloomily: "I'm very angry now, you can help me vent my anger!"
Liu Xiao's face was filled with horror. "What are you going to do? I am a captain, a member of the noble family, and you are going to humiliate me!"
Chi Wushu ignored him and carried him into the room. Soon, screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard.
…
Taoyuan County Fort.
Xue Wenjuan and others have fled here for a few days. The barbarian soldiers have not attacked, which makes all the nobles feel relieved.
If they used the supplies they brought sparingly, they would be enough for them to live in the dock for half a year.
He just stayed in the fortress and didn't know what was happening outside, so he was anxious and didn't know whether the barbarians had left.
Liu Jingzhi and Liu Yiyi were even more worried about Liu Xiao. When they escaped, Liu Xiao was still fighting with the barbarians, and they didn't know how he was doing now.
We have to send someone out to find out the news.
Xue Wenju also had the same idea. After thinking about it, he decided to let Zhang Kui take a few officials to Ruifeng County to inquire about the situation.
Xue Qianqian specifically instructed them to find out the situation in Yiyun Village. She was a little worried that if the barbarians couldn't find food in the county town, they would attack the mountain village.
Zhang Kui was speechless. It was already this late and Xue Qianqian was still worried about the bandits. She should worry about herself first.
Soon Zhang Kui led the officials to Ruifeng County, being very cautious along the way for fear of encountering barbarians.
When passing by a village, Zhang Kui saw a barbarian soldier coming out of it. He was startled and hurriedly took his men to hide.
This barbarian soldier was one of the thousand barbarians being chased by bandits. He was smart enough to escape into the village and hide in the cellar, so he was not found by the bandits.
After making sure it was safe, the barbarian soldiers quietly came out. All their weapons were dropped during the escape. They were now listless and hungry.
There was nothing to eat in the village, only some Guanyin soil. He was sitting outside the village, preparing to eat the Guanyin soil before going to the county town to find Chi Wushu.
He didn't want to eat dirt, but there was nothing he could do. He had been chased all night and had been hiding for most of the day, so he was already hungry.
It’s good to have some soil to fill my stomach. Once I find the patriarch, I’ll have something to eat.
Zhang Kui and his men saw all the actions of the barbarian soldiers and were somewhat surprised. The barbarian soldiers looked listless, as if they had lost the battle and now had to eat dirt.
Could it be that the government soldiers defeated the barbarians? Several people felt excited. If that was the case, they could return to the county town.
Of course, I need to confirm it again.
Zhang Kui took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, there are five of us and one on the other side. Do you have the courage to subdue him so that we can ask him for specific information?"
Among the other four officers, one was Liang Wu. Except for him, the other three were a little afraid. The barbarians looked tall and strong. They had witnessed their ferocity in the fort before and still had psychological trauma. Although they had more people, some of them did not dare to go up.
Liang Wu said: "What are you afraid of? You forgot that many of our brothers died in the hands of the barbarians. We can't fight a group of them, so why can't we fight one?"
"The county magistrate asked us to come out to get information. This is the best opportunity. Boss, I will follow you."
Upon hearing this, the other three officers had no choice but to agree.
"Okay then, let's sneak over there and capture him and interrogate him."
After Zhang Kui finished speaking, five people came out from their hiding place and approached the barbarians.
The barbarian soldier was eating dirt and was completely unaware of Zhang Kui and his five companions behind him. He only turned around suddenly when they were only a few steps away.
"Get started!"
Zhang Kui roared and rushed forward, and Liang Wu and the other three officers also rushed out.
The barbarian was shocked and stood up instantly, wrestling with the five men.
"How dare you choke me."
Zhang Kui was grabbed by the neck by the barbarian soldier. He felt suffocated and his face turned red. "Liang Wu, catch him quickly."
Liang Wu grabbed the barbarian's crotch like a monkey picking peaches.
"ah!"
The barbarian soldier screamed, his face twisted in pain, and he couldn't help but let go of the hand that was pinching Zhang Kui.
