Chapter 267 Into the Interior
The strategy of the horse bandits is not the safest way to save their lives at the moment.

The premise is that all of this is true. Wu Zheng is the leader of the Central Guards. They only had conflicts with the Central Guards during the day, and they were angry with the Central Guards. With the heart of slaughter, in order to feel proud in front of the Central Guard Army.

Unfortunately, all of this was within Qin Xiao's expectation.

When the leader of the horse bandit led three or forty people to the ambush site where Qin Xiao and others were ambush, as Wu Zheng said, they tried to persuade Qin Xiao and others in a good manner at first.

Qin Xiao and the others showed great doubts, believing that the Wu Zheng they sent had been killed, and the horse bandits wanted to lure them to abandon their weapons and surrender, so as to take them down quietly.

After a "fierce" fight, Qin Xiao and others were finally defeated, and all were captured by the leader of the horse bandit and others, and all the dozen or so people were brought back to the bandit den.

"This little general, don't be upset, don't be upset." The thing that comforts people's hearts is naturally that the military adviser Goatee stepped forward. With a smile on his face, he said to the bound Qin Xiao and the others, "We are just people like duckweed. , I settled here by chance, and I had a moment of peace. Thanks to the great prime minister sitting in the capital, I can settle down. The great prime minister is majestic, how dare we provoke? It will not harm you, and it is really a last resort to offend now. Also ask this little general to listen to me."

"Is this how you let me listen to your words?" Qin Xiao's face was sullen, full of displeasure.

Goatee smiled, and hurriedly asked someone to untie Qin Xiao and the others.

This is in their territory, and they are not afraid of Qin Xiao and the others, and they have just fought, and the leader of the horse bandit is very clear about the skills of Qin Xiao and others.

He was very disdainful in his heart, if they were not the leaders of the army, they would not dare to offend them, and he would have wiped out all of these people by himself.

Qin Xiao was untied, he just moved his wrists, and he didn't move his hands and feet like Wu Zheng.

The horse bandits wanted to show their sincerity, so naturally they didn't search them, but if they searched anyone, they would find the token of the leader, and they couldn't find another one!
He first stepped forward and pushed Wu Zheng, who was drunk to a muddy mud, and after confirming that he was just drunk, his face softened a little, and he sat next to Wu Zheng: "Tell me, how do you want to deal with us?"

"Don't dare dare." The goatee quickly stopped, "Forgive me, little general, I offended you so much just now, it's just a matter of necessity. We had misunderstandings with you all, and the misunderstandings were all caused by the Central Guards. Although we live here , but I have also heard that the Central Guards have disrespected the Prime Minister for a long time. Today, they are disrespectful to the little generals in the city. I would like to express my anger for the little generals."

Qin Xiao, who had a tense face, let out an oh, and looked at the goatee with great interest: "Let's talk and listen."

Goatee saw that there was only drama, so he shared his thoughts one by one.

Qin Xiao slapped the table excitedly: "Not bad!"

The goatee and the bandit leader looked at each other, and said: "Little general, but the general who guards the army is also an official of the imperial court, if we..."

"Do it cleanly, and don't let people know that you did it. There are more than a bunch of thieves... people outside Jinyong City." Qin Xiao didn't promise, on the contrary, it was like this, which convinced Goatee even more.

"Little one understands." Goatee showed a comprehensible and flattering smile.

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows: "I heard that you have a racecourse here..."

The bandit leader and the goatee froze.

The reason why they occupy this place, and even spend a lot of money to support those people outside, is because there is a natural horse farm behind it.

The environment is superior, and there are cattle, horses and sheep. Although they are all wild, they are not difficult to deal with.Even because of the geographical advantages, raising these things does not need to cost money.

"What? You tied us here, are you going to cancel this debt?" Qin Xiao smiled half-smile.

The goatee has long been prepared: "The little general is right, we should apologize. It's just that the horse farm is not raised by us, and the horses are wild and difficult to tame, so it is difficult to give the little general a gift. Why don't I give some Beside..."

"Wild horse?" Qin Xiao naturally knew about it, but he put on a look of disbelief.

"If the little general doesn't believe it, why don't you wait until dawn to see it. If the little general can tame it, he will still be taken away by the little general." The goatee is extremely generous.

"Really?" Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he stood up abruptly, "Why wait for dawn, take me to see it now."

"This..." Goatee didn't expect Qin Xiao to be so impatient, "It's late at night outside..."

"Don't tell me, it's dark outside and the mountains are dangerous." Qin Xiao stopped talking directly.

Seeing that Qin Xiao was determined to go, Goatee had no choice but to discuss with the leader of the horse bandit, and finally the leader of the horse bandit took them to have a look.

Qin Xiao took advantage of the situation and kept most of the people to stay with Wu Zheng.

He took Zhao Chun to the racecourse.

It's cold and cold in winter, but the racecourse is surrounded by mountains, so it's not that cold. Sure enough, there are wild horses and bison, but nothing else is seen.

Qin Xiao picked out a strong, shiny black horse at a glance, and he rushed towards it.

The horse was really fierce and wild, Qin Xiao was pushed down several times, but he became more and more unwilling to give up after falling down, Zhao Chun and others watched, and saw that other horses also started to be restless, they all persuaded him to give up.

Qin Xiao didn't listen, and was thrown into the air again, and fell heavily to the ground. Several people were shocked, and even the bandit leader rushed forward.

Just as Qin Xiao was supported by the bandit leader, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

The bandit leader's back tightened, and he subconsciously pushed Qin Xiao away, but the stinging pain still radiated from his neck.

Qin Xiao's dagger pulled the bandit leader's neck open, blood spattered, and the bandit leader was also extremely fierce, with one hand covering his neck and the other holding a big knife, he slashed towards Qin Xiao.

The horse bandit accompanying him was countered by the premeditated Zhao Chun and others the moment the accident happened.

In order to make these horse bandits relax their vigilance, when they were tied up, their weapons were confiscated, and they were not returned after they were untied. Even if they wanted to come here, the other party did not return it, nor did Qin Xiao and others ask for it.

Zhao Chun and the others had no choice but to preemptively seize the horse bandit's weapon and kill him.

This gang of horse bandits is by no means an ordinary person, many people broke free because of this, and before Zhao Chun and others killed them, they sent out a warning signal.

However, rescue was doomed not to come.

Because not long after the horse bandit leader brought Qin Xiao and others to the racecourse, riots broke out outside the village, and the granaries of several villages were burned down.

The horse bandits did spend a lot of money to keep these villagers. Later, the villagers started farming. In order to facilitate control, the cultivated food was handed over to the people sent by the horse bandits to take care of it and distribute it to the villagers. Most of it was paid to the horse bandits. here.

The imperial court reported that there was no harvest almost every year, and the officials of Jinyong City knew what was going on, but there was nothing they could do about it.
