Chapter 261: The Tiger Leaves the Mountain, the Venomous Snake Revenges

The rain continued and fell on the river.

Because of the rain in the past few days, the weeds have gradually sprouted new branches from the mud trampled by the workers.

"Boss, even if we kill all these idiots, it will be useless. They probably don't even have a penny or two in their pockets!"

Several people wore straw hats and raincoats.

Standing in the dense forest in the distance, looking at the river channel that had stopped working due to heavy rain, the flood was turbid and rushing all the way down.

There were even countless broken branches in it. If they had not seen strong winds and waves and made a living in rivers, lakes and seas for many years, they would have felt weak in the knees when seeing this scene.

There was a "pop" sound.

The man's big hand slapped one of the men's hats, shaking it around, and the rain on the hat poured down.

He frowned and had a cold face.

"Killing people, that's all you can do..."

"There is an old saying in this book, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader."

"Do you know who is the chief official in charge of supervising the expansion of the river?"

The news that Xizhou City was going to dig a grand canal had caused a lot of buzz, and everyone in every prefecture, state, and county in the world knew about it.

This route passes through most of the Liang Dynasty. Once the river expansion and renovation is completed, the dam will be built.

In the future, this canal will surely be a prosperous scene wherever it passes.

That adult was called "the greatest genius of all time".

So, if everyone in the village, from the youngest children to the oldest people, knows it, how could they not know it?

"Is it... the female official who is particularly important in front of the current emperor?"

Hearing this answer, the man nodded with satisfaction. At least these good-for-nothings under him didn't just eat all day long.

His fingertips brushed the scar on his face, and he said with a firm tone: "Of course it is that woman. As long as we can... catch that woman, we can go to the various state capitals and make a lot of money..."

"Remember, we can't stay in one place for too long, otherwise... we will be caught by those officers and soldiers..."

"Once you are caught by the slightest mistake, you will be in big trouble."

"This crime of murdering an official appointed by the imperial court is different from us killing a few ordinary people. You all know the reason, so I won't say more."

His fingers pointed downwards and landed on the scimitar at his waist. The scene of the raging fire was something he would never forget in his life.

He clenched his teeth, all the burns on his body were caused by the fire that burned down the ship.

As long as he is still alive, he will never be able to swallow this anger.

His wife, children, and the elderly were all burned to charcoal in the sea of ​​fire. Not a single one was left alive, and not a single body was left intact.

"Yes, Boss, everyone knows what you said."

"But we have almost scouted the nearby terrain in the past few days. When the flood stops, those hard-working people will have enough rest and will come back to work...Won't it be more difficult to start with too many people and too many eyes?"

Although they had never been to school and could not read or write, their ability to make a living from the mountains enabled them to understand the situation of the mountains clearly in just a few days.

"Don't worry, your mission is to kill these bitter people."

"But remember, you can't kill them all. Do you hear me?"

The man squatted down and picked up a wet branch. The corner of his mouth curled up. The branch was placed on the sand, gradually drawing the shape of the camp.

"This camp is where the supervisor is."

"I got the news a few days ago that the woman was seriously injured for some unknown reason and is now lying in bed, unconscious."

"So our purpose this time is to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

He had already found out about the expansion of the river channel. A total of 5,000 elite soldiers were sent to watch it, of which 2,500 were stationed in the supervisory camp and the remaining 2,500 soldiers were stationed on the river channel to maintain order among the 6,000 able-bodied men and prevent passing bandits and horse thieves from burning, killing and looting.

As for why the imperial court did not send so many troops, the reason is very simple. If a large number of troops were sent abroad, the various provinces would not be so easy to deal with.

They didn't know whether the imperial court sent so many troops to expand the river or to take back their power.

Therefore, in order not to alert the enemy and to ensure that the task of expanding the river can proceed, the imperial court must also take into account the thoughts of various prefectures, local princes and aristocratic families in the initial stage of the journey.

However, flies don't bite seamless eggs, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage.

As long as he kidnapped the woman, or killed her directly and took the body away, he would not be afraid that the little emperor would not be able to find her.

If the little emperor still cared about this woman, he would definitely rush from her imperial city to the bank of the rushing river without stopping.

By then, the master's plan will be half successful, and he will have no worries about killing these two women.

The other man squatted down. Rain was still dripping from his raincoat, but he did not feel the cold at all.

On the contrary, he just felt hot and unbearable, and wanted to draw the big knife from his waist immediately and kill him with blood!

"Boss, this is a brilliant plan!"

"But Boss... I'm afraid our men are still not up to the task of dealing with the elite troops raised by the imperial court, right?"

As soon as he said this, several brothers behind him who were eager to try began to hesitate. If it were in the past, it would be no problem for them, the outlaws, to rob tributes from passing officials.

But if we face off against the elite troops of the imperial court, this would indeed be a thankless and difficult task!

"Who told you to confront each other head-on?"

"These lackeys of the imperial court wear armor as hard as iron, and hold fine steel spears in their hands. Even if you were given ten heads, they would not be enough to smash them to pieces by those lackeys of the imperial court."

"Since ancient times, defeating the minority with the majority has always been a skillful and requires brains."

"After you kill a few Kudalis, create some noise, and it would be best if you could lure all the elite imperial soldiers stationed on the riverbank over there."

"Fight and retreat at the same time. Remember, don't engage in direct conflict."

After saying that, the man turned around.

His eyes fell on the dense forest shrouded in rain and fog. The mountains were overlapping one after another. Fortunately, they had already known every ravine clearly in the past few days.

"From today on, go to the street and buy some traps. Remember, don't buy them all at once. It's best to go to different shops every now and then and buy a bunch of them. Say they're for hunting bears, pigs, tigers..."

"Then, buy some kerosene."

"In a bucket, covered with a thick cloth, all hidden next to the trap."

As the scarred man spoke, the others pricked up their ears, afraid that they might miss something.

"When the time comes, we can find someone with good archery skills to set them on fire with one arrow... Do you think those imperial lackeys in iron armor will be turned into roasted dog meat?"
