After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 236 A few bandits chirping
Cheng Ye brought a few smart people forward to check.

The exile team conveyed Xiong Jiushan's orders at a very fast speed from front to back. All the prisoners gathered in the middle. Many prisoners had no idea what was happening.

Soon, the Min family caravan that was following all the way also sent people over. It was Min Zhong, the manager, and Wu Liang, the leader of the pledge.

"Master Xiong, this place is still some distance away from where the bandits are rampant. Why did the attack suddenly stop? But what happened? If our Min family's place is useful, please don't be polite."

Min Zhong's tone was solemn and serious. Xiong Jiushan glanced at him and Wu Liang and saw that the other party really wanted to help.

At this time, Cheng Ye and other soldiers were still searching for traces of the person Xie Yuchuan said was in ambush. There was no definite information yet, so he did not rush to a conclusion, so he nodded and said: "The heavy fog is covering it, and there seems to be a spy watching. ”

Min Zhong glanced at Wu Liang beside him, and the two of them had an expression of "I guessed it right."

"Sir, I still have some knives."

"Oh?"

Xiong Jiushan turned his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Can I borrow it?"

"Sir, where are you? This is what Xiaomin and others should do. I'll have someone send it to you later, sir."

After saying this, he was about to leave when he was stopped by Wu Liang, who said in a rough voice: "Manager Min, I'll go."

Having agreed to rely on official protection, Min Zhong and Wu Liang spared some things without hesitation. Soon, more than a dozen wood-cutting knives were delivered to Xiong Jiushan, who divided them one by one, just in case.

Min Zhong was nervous and waited behind Xiong Jiushan.

Xie Yuchuan glanced back at him inadvertently, and Min Zhong habitually bowed and nodded to Xie Yuchuan to express his goodwill.

It wasn't until Xie Yuchuan had turned around for a long time that he realized that he had just bowed and said hello to an exiled prisoner who had committed a serious crime.

Not long after, the police officers who were investigating in the woods near both sides came back.

Cheng Ye came over with a handful of dry leaves and hay dripping with soot and kerosene, and another soldier held a handful of wet soil mixed with dry food residue.

"Sir, there are indeed several footprints on the left and right."

Xiong Jiushan looked at the things in their hands with sharp eyebrows.

Cheng Ye glanced suspiciously at Xie Yuchuan's face, and then squinted at the faces of the men of the Xie family. He raised his head and said to Xiong Jiushan: "Sir, with only a few footprints, I can't tell whether the other party is a bandit or a sentry. A person who robs a prisoner on the way."

This was said so carelessly in front of a group of prisoners, especially the Xie family, that Cheng Ye's prejudice against the Xie family was obvious.

Xie Yuchuan looked grim and sneered when he heard this, ignoring Cheng Ye's provocative words at this moment.

Everyone in the Xie family, except for the young Xie Jiarui, could tell who Cheng Ye was talking about.

Xie Yuchuan didn't bother to argue with him, but Xie Wuying was impatient with Cheng Ye's sinister tone, "There are hundreds of households in the wilderness and the mountains can't tell clearly, but it will cost people's lives."

Xiong Jiushan glanced at Xie Wuying.

When Xie Yuchuan saw this, he turned around and said gently: "Hezhi, adults are discussing matters, why are you so talkative?"

"Yes, Sixth Brother, Crane is reckless."

Xie Wuying said this, but his expression was different. Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes and sneered at him silently.

He couldn't understand more and more the adults' attitude towards their Xie family.

Cheng Ye selfishly thought that the bandits had become brave after eating the ambitious leopard, and dared to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth, thus provoking the government.

He felt that it was more likely that the Xie family had always been uneasy and well-intentioned.

Xie Yuchuan really gave him a headache.

When Xiong Jiushan came over and looked at the positions of the Xie family men, the back of his neck felt tight. As expected of a general, this state of well-trained vigilance could not be matched by his subordinates who were armed with weapons.

And he looked around, and among the prisoners, there were many who shared the same vigilance as the Xie family.

Xiong Jiushan felt that the sick prisoner's ability to protect himself would be a help, but looking at the many people behind him who looked alert and cruel, damn, it gave him a headache.

As if he could guess what he was thinking, Xie Yuchuan said calmly: "Master Xiong, since we have outposts, we must have back-up tactics. It is best for you to make a decision early."

"You don't need to tell me this!" Cheng Ye had a dark look on his face. He really couldn't bear Xie Yuchuan's self-satisfied look. "How do you decide, sir? I don't bother General Xie to worry about it."

"What hundreds of families say makes sense, Mr. Xiong, Yuchuan is lying." Xie Yuchuan gave his family an impeccable look, and everyone relaxed their shoulders in an instant, looking like they were obeying him, but in fact they were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. , only protecting the old and weak women of the Xie family without any blind spots.

Cheng Ye gritted his teeth and stopped talking because Xiong Jiushan stopped him with his eyes.

Xiong Jiushan crossed Cheng Ye and looked at Xie Yuchuan.

"I heard that the Major General can use divine light to lead the way?"

Xie Yuchuan looked at him, but Xiong Jiushan didn't avoid it.

Xie Yuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and pressed the button of the flashlight, shining a bright light several feet in front of Xiong Jiushan.

Xiong Jiushan looked towards the end of the bright light and was silent for a long time: "..."

How much virtue have the Xie family’s ancestors accumulated?

On the Goat Trail behind Wutou Peak, several young and strong men dressed in coarse cloth and animal skin jackets slashed left and right with their machetes while cursing at each other as they climbed up.

Several people were quarreling, and only the dark-faced middle-aged man leading the way was silent and sullen.

"Master Wu, this batch of goods is not easy to make. I haven't understood it yet. How can I explain it to the boss when I go back like this?"

The gloomy man who called Mr. Wu turned a deaf ear.

The machete in his hand was dancing like a tiger, which showed that he was in a bad mood.

The little brother who didn't open his eyes still wanted to chirp, but the brother who was following him reached out from behind and pulled the waistband of the other man's pants.

The chirping and complaining behind him finally died down.

Mr. Wu in front squinted his eyes and turned around, looking down at them from the thorn bushes halfway up the mountain.

"Did any of you see clearly how that light came from just now?"

"What light?" Someone was too stupid to realize what Master Wu was asking.

There was a man with a body like a skinny monkey, with sinister eyebrows and rat-like eyes, asking for credit: "Master Wu, I just had quick eyes, and at a quick glance, I saw that the unknown light came from the group of tall people in the middle. !”

Mr. Wu closed his eyes hard and opened his eyes angrily. His eyes were pierced by the light just now, and he still feels uncomfortable in his eyes even now.

What the hell is that?

Never seen that.

Mentioning that the few people who had been following him just now were unable to follow him, but their traces were exposed, the mood of several people was instantly depressed, and they were not very happy.

They have always followed Mr. Wu and are the best whistlers in the village.

What's good now is that before the mountain guy could figure out whether he was fat or thin, he was picked out by someone.

"How can I do business if I just go back like this?"

Some people look at me and I look at you.

This is my first time encountering this situation and I don’t know what to do.

"People from the official family are different from ordinary businessmen."

"If you are destined to leave but not to come back, what should you do?"

"Listen to Mr. Wu," someone said.

Several people looked at Master Wu together.

The latter's triangular eyes narrowed into slits in reluctance, and there was a look of reluctance on his dark cheeks.

After a long while, Master Wu finally spoke.

"Go to Xiantou Gou and try again and again. I won't believe that I can't figure out their names!"
