canary dressed as a villain

Chapter 160 Private Soldiers
This group of townspeople was dubious, but none of them was particularly powerful, and there was a lot of anger in the air, but their combat effectiveness was not strong.

After hearing Wang Dazhuang's words, some people hesitated. They already firmly believed that the bandits from Wuming Mountain were responsible for the anomaly in the town. After all, this trip was to hunt down bandits, so there was no need to be polite to them, and they directly arrested the young man. Hey, just let him take the big guy to find the bandit den.

The other part of the people are still more timid and dare not act rashly. Although they have imagined that if the incident is really done by the bandits, they will never repent, and even have conflicts with the townspeople, but they still don't want to go to that point. Willing to provoke conflict easily.

After all, they are ordinary people, and they still feel a little scared when facing vicious bandits with knives.

Wang Dazhuang separated a distance from the townspeople and led them forward, but he walked very slowly because he had not received any news from his companions, and he didn't know whether the village owner would like to see these townspeople.

But this place is still a full twenty miles away from the stockade, and their usual patrols would have to walk for two hours, let alone this group of townspeople dragging their feet.

He was going to let the group of people wait where they were and report first if the thin monkey hadn't come to pass the news when he reached the top of the mountain ahead.

When the townspeople go up the mountain, they naturally take the main road, but they usually take the winding path, hidden in the ravines and bushes, which is closer than the main road, but the road is also very difficult to walk, and no one takes them with them. It's also easy to get lost.

Although their training base is in the deepest part of the mountain, it is far away from here, and there is still a long distance from the village, but their nameless village has always prohibited outsiders from entering for safety reasons, and rarely communicates with the outside world.

The townspeople stood quietly and walked for a while, and gradually relaxed, and their bodies were exhausted.Someone boldly asked Wang Dazhuang, who was leading the way, how long it would take to reach the village.

When Wang Dazhuang replied that there were still fifteen miles left, everyone's eyes almost went dark.

When they walked here from the town, the two legs they were walking on seemed to be no longer their own, and they were trembling faintly, as if they could kneel down directly after a little relief, and they knew that blisters must have been worn out on their feet without looking. But I had to continue walking, and some of the blisters were worn out again, and I hardly felt my feet at this time.

But it was already like this, and this person actually told them that they were only halfway there?
Usually in the town, few people can walk from the east end to the west end, but the distance is only seven or eight miles, and they all feel as if they will never be able to walk in this lifetime.

When I went up the mountain before, I relied on that breath. Before I reached the enemy's door, I had already suffered a lot and had no fighting spirit.

Could it be that these bandits did it on purpose? Whether they were people with bad intentions or officers and soldiers who came to suppress the bandits, they were exhausted before they reached the gate of the village.

But most importantly...

Are these bandits all livestock?How can you walk so far every day?

Just when this group of people complained, but did not dare to speak loudly for fear of being heard by the bandits leading the way, a person who was also tired like a dead dog appeared not far ahead, and ran over panting.

This is the thin monkey who was sent back by Wang Dazhuang before.

He was in exactly the same mood as the townspeople at this time, and couldn't help scolding their mothers. Why on earth is this unnamed cottage built in the depths of the mountain, so far away from the outside? Not to mention that it is inconvenient to go down the mountain, and it is exhausting to patrol every day. dead.

The thin monkey was out of breath and finally arrived.

He walked to Wang Dazhuang with his stomach in his arms, "Brother Wang, the boss said to lead them in."

Wang Dazhuang nodded, and the townspeople behind him had heard it too. They were all looking at the two of them at this moment. Wang Dazhuang met and waved his hands calmly, "All follow."

As he said that, he suddenly picked up his pace, and his speed was much faster than before. This is their normal speed. Even if they are patrolling mountains, in the extremely rough and difficult grass, the speed of the bandits is also very fast. After all, every The team had to walk all over the mountain before the sun went down. If they were not fast enough, they would not be able to complete the task. If the first and second masters found out that they were slack, they would be punished.

Moreover, the routes of their five teams crossed. After a day of patrolling, they could basically meet every subordinate team, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to be lazy.

However, these patrolling people basically changed every three days, and the people in the whole village, including the head and the second head, participated in the rotation, and everyone was convinced.

It's just that newcomers are not qualified to enter the deep mountains when they first come, so the rotation may be more frequent. After all, even if they don't patrol the mountains, they still have other jobs to do. There are no idlers in this unnamed mountain.

The people in the cottage are used to this kind of intensity, but the real name behind it is miserable. They have walked so many roads, and now they suddenly speed up, so naturally they can't bear it.

It's just that Wang Dazhuang didn't look back at all, as if he didn't care whether the people behind could keep up.

In fact, no matter how fast he walked, the people behind would still follow after all, because without the people in the cottage to lead the way, they would never be able to find the location of the cottage. They need a leader.

The thin monkey beside Wang Dazhuang obviously listened to him, seeing that Wang Dazhuang increased his speed, even if he was exhausted, he had to keep up with him immediately, and had to keep the same speed as him.

In fact, Wang Dazhuang didn't mean to make things difficult for him on purpose, but he didn't want to let the boss wait.

The people in Wuming Mountain respected the head of the family very much, almost as a belief, and they were not as loose as other bandits.

The townspeople behind were miserable, and dragged their feet to follow, but Hiiragi Yu was very relaxed in the sky, she followed them for a while with great interest, and then began to fly in other directions.

This bandit den doesn't look right, but there are abnormalities everywhere in this mountain, just like the bandit mentioned just now, a woman who also lives in this mountain.

Who would a normal woman dare to live alone in the mountains, and be so fierce that she would dare to go directly to the bandit village?
Even if she has a bit of force, can she still compete against this bandit village?
And just now Yu Yu specially noticed that the bandit named Wang Dazhuang is not only tall and strong, he has a stable foot, a strong figure, sharp and firm eyes, and a faint evil spirit, which is not the temperament that ordinary bandits can possess , he must have experienced very strict training.

Looking at it this way, the woman who coveted the bandit leader was even more suspicious.

Furthermore, she found that the two bandits didn't seem to have any malice towards the group of townspeople behind them. If they really robbed the woman down the mountain, shouldn't the townspeople be vigilant when they come to find them?I will definitely send a letter of warning as soon as I find it, instead of asking the village master what to do.

At least it seemed that even if the bandit village was not innocent, the two probably didn't know about it.

At this time, Hiiragi Yu already knew which direction the bandit village was in, so they would destroy the evidence, so she took the first step.

After Hiiragi gave Liu Shu an invisibility talisman, she could also see Hiiragi. At this time, she was hiding on the slope on the other side. When she raised her head in that direction, she could see Hiiragi, and Hiiragi was in She can also be seen from above.

She gestured to Liu Shu, then turned and walked in another direction. Wang Dazhuang led the team gradually approaching the direction of the cottage, and Yu Yu finally discovered the location of the cottage.

Without hesitation, relying on her invisible state, she flew directly in that direction, and then sneaked into the village.

The terrain of this unnamed mountain is really complicated. After bypassing the long and winding mountain road and crossing a wide stone bridge, it is really the boundary of the unnamed mountain village.

The stockade is backed by a mountain, and the entrance of the village is a river that crosses the entire mountain range. There is a small stream beside the main road in the village. The stockade is like a village, distributed at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the atmosphere in the village was a little tense, Hiiragi Yu landed at the entrance of the village, and slowly walked in along the dirt road.

There is still a stage at the place where I just entered the village, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.There are jujube trees that are not high on both sides. The house on the left is built along the terrain, and the house on the right is a lower level. Standing on the road, you can see other people's yards.

She continued to walk forward, and saw some people walking up in a hurry, Hiiragi Yu also followed behind them.

Going up the dirt slope, walking on flat ground, and passing through narrow alleys, the foundation of the house is made of stones, and it feels a little cold to walk inside.

But soon, they passed through the small alleys that looked similar and extended in all directions, and at the same time when their eyes suddenly opened up, Hiiragi Yu finally found the real center of the village.

In front of her is a building that is different from other places, the most obvious one is probably...

It looks relatively new.

Of course, it's just a look. In fact, this house has been around for ten years, but the other houses are lived by several generations of bandits, so it looks even older, which makes this house stand out from the crowd.

In fact, this is indeed the case. This house was specially built for him by the people he brought with him when he first came to this place ten years ago. After expansion, it has now become the gathering place for the entire village.

At this time, a group of people were gathering towards this place. From above, it looked like a stream converging in the center, and Hiiragi Yu also swaggered into it.

This place is not the same as Hiiragi Yu imagined, it doesn't look like a bandit's lair, but rather a talented son, the decoration is simple and quiet, but it shows ingenuity everywhere, the owner of the house seems to be a person of great status and taste , and this status is definitely not just a bandit in a small cottage.

The room was cleaned very clean, and things were very organized. The calligraphy, paintings and pens and ink were not placed for decoration, and there were traces of frequent use.

In a daze, Hiiragi felt that this place was somewhat similar to Yin Li's study, and it was obviously extremely abrupt to appear in this cottage deep in the mountain.

After entering here, who would have thought that there were barren hills and bandit dens outside the house?
This house is really not small. Of course, compared to other houses in this cottage, it can be said that it is so luxurious that it is a bit out of place.

However, the house in the capital is still not as good as what Hiiragi Yu had seen before, after all, the conditions here are really not very good.

She walked in slowly, and the front hall was the destination of the bandits, and they had already taken their seats.

Hiiragi went in through the main entrance, and saw the person sitting on the main seat head-on, she was slightly taken aback.

The man was very handsome, and he could tell he was tall even when he was sitting. At this time, he was holding a handkerchief, coughing slightly, and he was still wearing a very thick cloak in early spring. His face was also pale, and he seemed to be in poor health. , and the others also looked familiar.

At this time, the people under his command were reporting what happened at the foot of the mountain, and briefly introduced the disappearance case during this period, but the leader didn't seem to care, and just waved his hand.

"At that time, just explain and dismiss them. We have to prepare for major events during this time, so we don't have time to pay attention to them."

Hiiragi Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, what big deal could they have?so serious?

And it seems that the disappearance in the town is really not done by them, so who could it be?

The big boss coughed from time to time while he was talking. The other people sitting next to him seemed to be used to it. They looked at him calmly. Even if he was coughing, they naturally reported the matter and did not deliberately avoid it.

The big master didn't care about his old problems anymore, and continued to listen to the report below.

And Hiiragi gradually felt something was wrong.

At the beginning, they only talked about some internal affairs of the village, such as the situation of the training of newcomers, who can be reused, who should be driven out of the village as soon as possible, and issues such as grain sowing.

But gradually, they began to discuss the recent training situation. It sounds like there will be a big transfer. They seem to be preparing for something, and most importantly, they are clearly using militarized management.

Is it normal for a group of bandits to be militarized?

Even if Hiiragi Yu doesn't understand this place, and even the world has a big deviation from what she understands, she also knows that there has been no such reason since ancient times, and they don't need to do this at all.

Once they don't go out to rob, half of the nature of bandits has been lost, and the people in this unnamed cottage don't go down the mountain for nothing, hiding in the ravine for militarized training. What does it mean?
At this time, two big characters clearly appeared in Hiiragi Yu's mind:

—Private soldiers.

She is now very suspicious that these bandits are private soldiers raised by someone.

But who else has this strength today?
These bandits are hostile to the imperial court in every line, so it will definitely not be Song Weisheng.

As for Yin Li, he doesn't have the habit of raising private soldiers. He likes to break up parts into wholes and cultivate high-level talents. He has no interest in private soldiers. At the beginning, he was set to rebel by directly controlling the imperial court's army. Achieved.

According to Yin Li's method, there is no need for him to raise private soldiers, but it will expose him to more clues. This is not his style of conduct.
