Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 9 The Thieves of Cuiwei Mountain
On the other side, Xing Tutoulai, who had been hidden for a few chapters, came in from the gate of the inn and shouted: "Old Bai, serve a pot of good tea!".

Bai Zhantang came up with a pot of jasmine in his hand and said with a smile, "Old Xing, long time no see. I've been busy recently and didn't come to the inn to take care of business!".

I saw Catcher Xing sighing and said: "What kind of luck do you think we are? A while ago, there was a male and female trouble, but it was later proved to be a misunderstanding, which is also a good result. It didn't take long for this to stop, why did it come here? What about bandits."

"What bandit! I heard the word bandit just now." Zhang Chen immediately regained his spirits when he heard that, and asked with concern as he swished to Xing Butou's side.

"Isn't it because Cuiwei Mountain has a large group of bandits who came here at some point, and their force is not strong, but they are ruthless and murderous, burning, killing and looting in the surrounding counties and towns."

"We have encircled and suppressed them several times, and every time we failed because of the terrain, we returned to Louzhi County. The worry is about to lose our hair, and the headhunters below us are also shameless!".

After hearing Zhang Chen's question, Catcher Xing also poured out bitter water.

Lao Bai listened to Zhang Chen's questions to Lao Xing and felt that something was wrong.Then he pulled him to his side and asked: "Xiaochen, why are you asking this? You must not learn from young heroes and think about chivalry! Although you have a good foundation now, you have no If you have seen blood, if something happens to you, everyone will die in a hurry."

"Don't worry! Brother Bai, you've also heard that the bandits have survived to this point only by relying on the terrain and the large number of people. How could they be familiar with the Cuiwei Mountain area? The two of us often compete there. Isn't there still Big Brother Bai!"

Zhang Chen said this, but he thought in his heart that this group of bandits happened to be the perfect test target, and his martial arts were not high. He could handle it and practice his actual combat experience. People, this is still very bad for remembering Jianghu in the future. After all, Jianghu is not as safe as Tongfu Inn, but full of unknowns and dangers.

Hearing Zhang Chen's bragging, Lao Bai couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Aren't they just a bunch of little thieves? Look at Big Brother Bai who will hold you back and let you practice your hands and gain some experience."

"Ai, ai, what are you muttering next to me?" Xing Butou couldn't help asking while watching the two whispering.

"Isn't this thinking of adding two side dishes to Uncle Xing! After all, Uncle Xing is also patrolling the streets for the safety of the people, so you can't treat him badly," Zhang Chen said to Catcher Xing with a smile.

Hearing this, Catcher Xing laughed and said: "It's all for the safety of the people, low-key, low-key."

Bai Zhantang rolled his eyes upwards from the side, and secretly complained in his heart, "If I don't know what I am, I will go to heaven if I am praised."

Because Butou Xing still had to patrol the streets, he only chatted with the two of them for a while, and left after drinking the pot of tea.

After watching Xing Tutou leave, Lao Laobai was worried that Zhang Chen would go to Cuiwei Mountain early because he was young and energetic, so he said again: "Xiao Chen, let's go together when we have time, and don't go alone early."

Faced with Bai Zhantang's constant exhortations and inquiries, Morning could only express helplessly, "He really didn't intend to go alone. After all, he was going to kill someone. For him, he still felt a little scared."

At night, after everyone was asleep, Bai Zhantang and Zhang Chen left the inn from the backyard and rushed towards Cuiwei Mountain.

"Brother Bai, what is our main task tonight!" Zhang Chen couldn't hold back his excitement and said to Bai Zhantang when he went out to practice for the first time.

"Xiaochen, don't be happy. If we go out for a trip, it will not be as simple as it is in the books."

"Our task today is to find out where these bandits are entrenched in Cuiwei Mountain, how many people there are, what weapons they have, how powerful they are, etc. All of these can only be obtained after investigation." Bai Zhantang hurried on the way Tell Zhang Chen about these rivers and lakes experiences.

With the lightness skills of Bai Zhantang and Zhang Chen, they arrived near Cuiwei Mountain in a short time. The two began to gradually search for the location of the bandit. After an hour, the two finally found the good guy in the cottage. They also had to bypass some caves. No wonder they were able to repel the imperial court's encirclement and suppression several times. It would be difficult to suppress the bandits without acquaintances to guide the way.

After the two discovered the cottage, they observed carefully around the cottage, only to find that it was actually built on a platform protruding from a steep natural cliff. It is rare for them to find such a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Brother Bai, what are we going to do now, we have found the bandit's lair," Zhang Chen whispered to Bai Zhantang.

"Don't worry, according to my observation, these bandits on the outside don't know martial arts. If you want to come to the inside, there are not many masters. Let's be careful and make a quick decision."

Zhang Chen nodded nervously, and quickly touched the entrance of the cave. Taking advantage of the darkness, the two guarded bandits quietly approached the entrance of the cave. He took a deep breath and pointed with his two fingers. The two lifted them up and put them aside.

"He's really a born Jianghu man!" Bai Zhantang said with emotion after seeing Zhang Chen's skillful movements.

Looking at the two bandits who died, Zhang Chen felt unavoidably flustered. After all, this was the first time he had killed two people. Two living lives died under his hands. Immediately, a feeling of wanting to vomit welled up. Zhang Chen immediately started to run. The internal strength went around for a week to suppress this feeling.

After a long while, Zhang Chen vomited and felt completely calmed down. Then he looked up and found that Bai Zhantang was guarding the surroundings, and his heart felt warm.

"Brother Bai, let's get in slowly, I'm getting used to it now," Zhang Chen said in a low voice.

Bai Zhantang nodded and did not speak. The two quietly entered the cottage and found a row of wooden houses at the entrance of the cave. The two entered the house, one on the left and the other on the right, and slowly reaped the lives of the bandits in their dreams.

When the two were about to complete the harvesting task of this row, the bandits who were patrolling outside found the corpse and began to call loudly to gather all the bandits.There was a single bandit called to gather outside, and many surviving bandits gathered in the hall one after another.

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang didn't get nervous when they knew they were exposed, but stayed where they were and waited for the bandits to gather, because most of the Lou Lou in the cottage had been killed by Zhang Bai, and the rest of the people were just those little bosses who knew how to harvest. Bashi doesn't pose much threat to them, it's better to have bandits gather and catch them all in one go.

The thieves stood opposite Zhang Chenbai's exhibition hall, and then a man who looked like a leader came out and looked around and said with a livid face: "You two brothers who killed most of me, even if you want to die, don't even look at what is here. place, this will fulfill your wishes and send you down.”

Without saying a word, Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang rushed into the crowd and started a one-sided battle.

"I don't know how to live or die, brothers!" The bandit leader ordered immediately when he saw that there were only two of them daring to rush towards him.

As time went by, the number of bandits who could stand on the battlefield became less and less, and the bandits gradually felt scared and fled in all directions, while the leader of the bandits had quietly withdrawn from the battlefield because he saw that the situation was not good.

How could Zhang Chen come to his side as soon as he turned his feet as he wished, and then tapped on his knees so that he could not move.He picked up the knife rest that fell on the ground and shouted on the bandit leader's neck: "Those who surrender will not be killed."

Seeing that the leader was captured, the rest of the bandits had no intention of fighting and were arrested one by one by Bai Zhantang.

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang tied up the bandits who had their acupuncture points locked in a house in the cottage, and then they looked at each other and smiled

Zhang Chen said: "Brother Bai has reached your best field."

"Xiao Chen, Brother Bai is not playing with you, but there are few people in the world who can compare with me in this respect. Look! Bai Zhantang said proudly."

The two speeded up their search for the loot in the cottage. About a quarter of an hour later, the two carried their burdens on their backs and walked down Cuiwei Mountain towards the inn, talking and laughing back to the inn.
