The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 565 564 The Burning Yangtze River (4)

The city of Fuling County is not too big, and it is located in a mountainous area, so the population in the city is very limited, and most of the people living in it are Miao people and Wuxi barbarians, and there are very few Han people here.

During the day, Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang went shopping in the city, speaking with foreign accents and wearing Han Chinese costumes, which seemed out of tune with everything here.

At night, Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang stayed overnight in an inn. After traveling for half a month, they often had to sleep in the wild and never had a good night's sleep.This time I came to Fuling City, and finally I could sleep on the bed. The two of them dragged their tired bodies, fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep.

However, when Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang were shopping in the city during the day, they were accidentally targeted by a group of robbers. Although Zhang Fei did not have much money, in such a remote place, it can be called Is a rich man.

The robber accidentally discovered that the money bag Zhang Fei was carrying was full of heavy money, so he became malicious and wanted to take the money for himself.

Therefore, the bandits followed Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang secretly, and when they learned where they were staying, they immediately went back to inform their followers. At that time, it was dealt a fatal blow, so that the thieves did not dare to be so rampant again.As soon as Fazheng left, the thieves revived and intensified. Even the newly appointed magistrate of Fuling County was stopped by them halfway and killed on the way.

This group of robbers was stationed in the Wuling Mountains outside the city. There was also a village on the mountain called Heifeng Village. The owner of the village was Zheng San, who was from Jingzhou. The pursuit of the Jingzhou government.Later, Zheng San's traitor did not change, and he started to kill and steal goods again. He also recruited a group of gangsters from Jingzhou to form a cottage, and he himself was the king of the cottage. A major disaster in Fuling County.

Later, when Fazheng took office, he used his ingenuity to fight against thieves. Zheng San and the others were reckless, and they were played around by Fazheng's serial tricks, and they even went to the point of killing each other.Taking advantage of the internal conflicts within Zheng San's bandit group and attacking each other, Fazheng suddenly led his army to attack, and defeated Zheng San and others in the first battle.It's a pity that Zheng San was too cunning to catch him in the war.

From then on, Zheng San also disappeared, and took the remnants to other places.It wasn't until he heard that Fazheng was transferred away that he led his subordinates back and intensified the destruction of Fuling County.

In order to survive, some common people were also forced to join Zheng San's thieves' army and became part of the thieves, which further fueled the arrogance of the thieves.

There are more than 500 officers and soldiers stationed in Fuling City. They went to encircle and suppress several times. Either Zheng San played hide-and-seek with the officers and soldiers, or set up an ambush to ambush the officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers failed each time. And return, or lose troops and lose generals.

Three days ago, Zheng San had just fought a battle with the officers and soldiers, killing more than 100 officers and soldiers, even the county lieutenant, and the remaining 200 officers and soldiers quickly retreated to the city, not daring to come out again.

Zheng San became even more unscrupulous, and was planning to capture Fuling County as a base. Anyway, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Even if the prefect of Bajun sent troops to attack, they would immediately scatter and run back to the village before the officers and troops arrived. went.

In order to occupy Fuling County and show his strength, Zheng San sent three thieves to sneak into the city today, and set foot on them first to see how strong Fuling County is.

Coincidentally, one of the thieves accidentally found Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang, and found that they were not locals, had a lot of money on them, and were very generous in their actions. After thinking about it in the letter, he decided to join the other two thieves. They robbed Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang together.

According to the agreement, the three thieves gathered in a ruined temple. One of them told what he had seen and heard during the day and wanted to attack Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang. The other two were also open-eyed. As soon as they heard that there was money to be made, the three of them immediately made a calculation, and finally decided not to do anything, and killed Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang in the inn.

In the dead of night, three thieves quietly came outside the inn where Zhang Fei and Xiang Lang were staying. The window, we can climb up and go in through the window."

"Who has the purse?" asked one of the thieves.

"Um..." Robber A said, "When paying during the day, it was the bearded man who paid, and the money bag should be on him."

Thief B said: "Didn't you say that the bearded man looks like a servant? How could the money bag be on him? It must be on his master. Besides, as you said, that bearded man doesn't seem to be very annoying , just to be on the safe side, let's search in his master's room."

Thief C glanced at Thief A and asked, "Which room does the owner with the beard live in?"

Thief A immediately raised his finger and pointed to a window, and said, "It's in that room. I checked everything, and I can't be wrong."

"Okay, you stay here and guard, the two of us climb up, and after taking the money bag, the three of us will share it equally." Thief B said.

Thief A was worried that Thief B and Thief C would take some money privately. After all, he discovered this. It is okay to share it equally, but it must not be taken privately by them. If the purse is not found, the loss outweighs the gain.So, he hurriedly said: "It's late at night, there is no need to guard at all. I think it's better for the three of us to go up together. One more person has more strength. If anything happens, we can deal with it together."

Thief B and Thief C didn't have so many crooked thoughts, and they didn't know that Thief A had already imagined them as selfish people. On the contrary, they thought that what Thief A said was very reasonable, so the three discussed it and decided to climb together. Go up, go in and search the purse.

The second floor of the inn is not high, and thieves A, B, and C are lucky because there is a big tree behind the inn. The trunk of the big tree is very close to the second floor of the inn. The window can be opened by reaching out.

Thieves A, B, and C were all excited, feeling that God was helping them this time.

The three of them were agile people. When they climbed the tree, they quickly climbed up the tree like three monkeys. Then Thief A volunteered, stepped on the tree trunk and approached the inn. He stretched out his hand and opened the window. Suddenly, a burst of hearty snoring was heard.Seeing that there was no movement inside, he guessed that the person had fallen asleep, so he stepped on the window lattice carefully and stepped into the room.

Then, thief A invited his companions to come in together. After thief B and thief C entered the room one after another, the three of them began to tiptoe to find the money bag.

However, the three thieves didn't know that a pair of deep eyes were watching their every move in the dark.

After a while, thieves A, B, and C quickly searched the entire room, but they still couldn't find the money bag. They even pushed the guest who was sleeping like a dead pig on the bed, what clothes, shoes, socks After searching all over, they couldn't find the money bag they wanted to find.

"Strange, why didn't I find it? Could it be that it wasn't on him?" Robber C said to himself suspiciously.

"Are you looking for this?" Suddenly, a voice came out from the darkness, reflecting the faint moonlight, a ferocious face gradually became clear, a tall and thick man appeared beside the bed at some point , carrying a heavy purse in his hand, was looking at the three thieves.

The three thieves were all taken aback. They never expected that there was another person in the room, and this person was exactly the person that thief A said was not easy to provoke.

As soon as the words fell, the three thieves were frightened. After all, they had done something wrong and lacked confidence. The three ran towards the window at the same time, hoping to use the window to get back to the tree.

Unexpectedly, seeing a black shadow flashing quickly in front of the three of them, that ferocious face blocked them in front of the three of them. Holding a candle in his hand, the room was illuminated brightly.

"Run!" Thief A yelled, turned around and ran towards the door, and shouted at the other two thieves.

"Since you're here, don't think about leaving easily." The person holding the money bag was none other than Zhang Fei. Seeing him throw the money bag directly at Xiang Lang who was sitting by the bed, he waved his hands back casually, The window was closed immediately, and he himself jumped out in a stride, directly blocking the door of the room. Seeing Thief A rushing over, he stretched out his hand to beat him, and grabbed the skirt of Thief A's chest, and along the way Pushing forward violently, Thief A staggered, fell backwards, and bumped into Thief B and Thief C who were running over. The three thieves collided and fell to the ground.

Before the three thieves got up from the ground, Zhang Fei had already walked over, grabbing a person with both arms, like catching chickens, and arrested thieves B and C, but held them firmly with one foot. Firmly stepped on Thief A's body, and then Zhang Fei swung his arms vigorously, and Thief B and Thief C collided directly. With a muffled bang, the two of them collided head to head. Jin Xing shot straight, dizzy for a while, and there was a huge pain in his head.

Zhang Fei threw Thief B and Thief C on the ground one after another. Xiang Lang hurriedly took out the ropes he had prepared and tied them up.

At this time, Zhang Fei stepped on the thief armor, sneered, and said, "Do you think that I didn't know when you followed me during the day? You little thieves, dare to play wild on my head? Don't even look at it." Let's see how many catties you have!"
