Joe's Farming

Suddenly, there were the sounds of horse hooves and galloping on the mountain path.

Gu Feng and Ling Lie looked at each other, and Ling Lie nodded to him.

The leader was Xiao Shiye, the second in command of Qingfeng Village.

They didn't have many horses, so they stayed outside Qingyuan Town before dark.

The moon is bright tonight and the stars are sparse, so the night vision is good. Gu Feng and his men hid in three locations, making it easier for them to encircle them from behind.

The boss and Xiao Shiye had indeed underestimated the enemy; their number of men was no more than forty.

On Gu Feng's side, there were eighteen people in the guard team including Ling Lie, thirty guards from the Xu Mansion, and fifty people sent by the county lieutenant.

Plus him and Gu Gang.

This was almost a victory without suspense.

But even so, Gu Feng would not underestimate the enemy, because the bandits were not good people after all, and they would do anything if they were forced into a corner.

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps was getting closer and closer, and soon they arrived at the first trap.

Xiao Shiye, who was in the front, was the first to notice something was wrong with the horse's hooves sinking, and he immediately jumped back.

"Stop! It's a scam!!!"

But it was too late, horses and people had already fallen into the trap.

For a while, screams and horse neighs were heard one after another.

Xiao Shiye's eyes widened with anger as he looked towards the surrounding mountains and fields. There were shadows everywhere, but not a single person was to be seen.

Xiao Shiye was able to come from behind and win in Qingfeng Village thanks to his brain. He realized almost at the same time that their actions had been noticed long ago.

Now there are only two situations.

The first possibility is that Tian Qi and his companions were recognized by someone, and that person reminded the villagers, who then took defensive measures in advance.

The second possibility is that Tian Qi and his companions were recognized, and the villagers reported it to the authorities. The officials then surrounded the mountain path and tried to catch them in a trap.

But no matter which one, there must be someone they know to help.

And the identity of that person is about to be revealed.

The people in the trap were seriously injured, and there was a foul smell coming from the pit. It was so deceptive.

Xiao Shiye was extremely angry and yelled, "Ling Lie! I know it's you, come out and fight me if you have the guts! Is it manly to be so sneaky?"

The other bandits heard this and said in disbelief: "Is he really the Third In Command?"

Xiao Shiye: "Damn Third Master, he's probably a running dog of the government, waiting to capture us. Hurry up and get the people up here, and retreat!"

He didn't bet on the first possibility. If he bet wrong, he wouldn't be able to go back, and Bai Ming would still be waiting for him at home.

“Second Commander, we are already here. Are we going to retreat without knowing what is going on ahead? Maybe the villagers dug this pit to scare us.”

"Yes, yes, let the injured brothers wait for us here."

"Maybe those villagers are trembling with fear at home right now."

Xiao Shiye glanced at the people crying and wailing in the pit. Fortunately, they were not fast enough and no one was stabbed to death by the sticks.

But it was impossible to get him to move forward.

"Idiots! How could ordinary villagers dig a trap for us in advance? You are a bunch of pigs. Listen to my orders and retreat immediately!"

Gu Feng squinted his eyes in the night wind. He couldn't hear Xiao Shiye's last few words, but from the look on his face, he was actually going to run away?!

How does this work? !

Ling Lie had an even more complicated expression. He didn't expect that after not seeing him for half a year, Xiao Shiye had become so cowardly.

Seeing that the bandits were going to rescue people and escape, how could the people who had been waiting all night agree to this?

But before Gu Feng could move, Ling Lie was the first to rush out.

"Xiao Shiye! Didn't you call me Laozi? Why are you running away? Stay here and fight me, your father, in a one-on-one duel!"

Gu Feng: ...

Gu Gang: ...

Officers and soldiers: "Go! Leave them behind!"

For a moment, Xiao Shiye felt that countless figures appeared from all directions, all of them were people who wanted to capture them.

Xiao Shiye's eyes were red with anger: "Ling Lie! It's you after all."

From his tone, one could see that he wanted to go up to him and eat his flesh and bones immediately, but in reality, Xiao Shiye snatched his men's horse and fled in the other direction of the mountain path without looking back.

"Second Master!"

"Second Master!"

Tian Qi, who followed them during this operation, was stunned. The second in command actually left them alone and ran away! Is this still the second in command they knew?

Once Xiao Shiye ran away, the remaining people lost their backbone and soon fell apart. Gu Feng easily captured three people without even using his full strength.

Soon, all the bandits had their hands tied and were tied together with long ropes.

Gu Feng came here with the determination to win, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to accomplish. This shows how lawless these bandits are in Suining and how poor their business capabilities are.

The captain of the soldiers smiled from ear to ear, stepped forward and said, "Gu Hunter is really amazing, worthy of being a man who has been on the battlefield. I will take these people away, and I think your guards are chasing the one who ran away. We have to hurry over as well."

Gu Feng asked blankly: "Who went after him?"

The team leader laughed and said, "It's the brother who rushed out first just now!"

Gu Feng glanced around and indeed did not see Ling Lie. He was so focused on catching the bandits that he did not even notice when Ling Lie caught up with him.

Gu Feng frowned, then said to Gu Gang: "Tell Qiao Er that I will be back later."

Then he got on a horse left on the mountain road and ran in the direction where Xiao Shiye had escaped.

The team leader quickly gave instructions to his subordinates and chased after them.

No matter how skilled you are, you are still just an ordinary citizen now. How can you be at the forefront of such a dangerous thing?

So annoying!!

-

Xiao Shiye rode his horse at full speed and soon left Shangtian Village.

If no officers or soldiers showed up, he might have given it a try, or taken some men back to inform the boss that his actions had been exposed and to retreat quickly.

But as soon as the officers and soldiers appeared, he knew that this operation might have been exposed to the boss.

Moreover, the Taoyuan County lieutenant had 500 officers and soldiers at his disposal, but there were only dozens of them on the mountain road just now, which meant that the main force was all in Xu's mansion.

Damn Ling Lie!

He must have recognized Tian Qi, but he couldn't understand how Ling Lie, a former mountain bandit, got in touch with the officers and soldiers.

And there was this idiot Tian Qi, who had no idea he was exposed, causing him and the boss to travel a long distance to die!

He can't go back to the Cao family now, and can't take a boat from Taoyuan Town back to Suining.

He could only choose to take a detour and run back to Qingfeng Village along the mountain road.

He originally planned to make some money and then take Bai Ming away from Qingfeng Village to live a good life.

Now it seems that they can only go back quietly and take Bai Ming away first. They still have some savings, so they can only spend them sparingly for now.

The more Xiao Shiye thought about it, the angrier he became, and he blamed everything on Ling Lie.

Just as I thought of Ling Lie, I heard the sound of hurried horse hooves behind me.

Xiao Shiye turned around, and this sight almost made him vomit blood in anger.

Ling Lie showed him his eight white teeth and smiled: "Second brother, didn't you want to fight me just now? I'm here now."

Xiao Shiye reined in his horse and stopped.

"Okay! I've been wanting to kill you for a long time."
