Chapter 145 Ambush
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the geese fly from the north to the south.

The meadow in the mountains is already golden, the more flat and low-lying the place, the more lush the weeds, which are as tall as half a person.

Among the wild grass, an official road extends to the north.There is a small village on the east side of the official road, and there are several hills dotted in the wilderness not far to the east of the village, which are also dyed golden.

To the west of these small hills, on several gentle slopes on the side facing the village, more than a dozen men in sackcloth and bunt were lying in disorder among the wild grass, each with a long pole, or a rake, or a steel fork lying beside them. , There are also iron-coated sticks and the like.

The leader of the dozen or so was a tall and thin young man in his early twenties, wearing a red war robe that was obviously the style of the Qi army, and a worn leather armor wrapped around it, the only thing missing was his head. A helmet, with a simple conical bun, and a red silk wrapped around the bun.

This young man was also the only one among the crowd who had a sword on his waist, and a long spear with a red tassel and a white shaft by his hand.

"Brother Bao, will that thing be fooled?" A man lying not far from the young man suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the men around immediately agreed: "That's right, brother Bao, that thing is very thief, how many chickens, ducks and livestock have been stolen in the village, it's surprising that I haven't been caught..."

"Shut up! No matter how thief is, he's just a beast, can he still beat us?"

Before these men could finish their chatter, the tall and thin man in red robe frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Lie down on your stomach, don't stretch your neck to look around!"

Most of the men were older than the youth, but when he yelled at them, they immediately shrank their heads and shut their mouths obediently.

The tall and thin young man in the red robe glanced around and saw that everyone was lying obediently on their stomachs, so he said again: "What did I say before? If you invite me here, you can trust me, Wei Bao! If you can trust me, then You must obey my orders!"

"Although I'm working as a delivery post at a post station, I'm also a senior sergeant who is officially listed in the military register. Today's work is almost like a war. If you mess up, you will lose the battle! If you are killed by that thing Injure a few, and we will lose a lot!"

After the voice fell, the gentle slopes around were completely silent.

The sun shifts and the sky changes.

More than a dozen men lay quietly for a long time, and gradually became a little anxious and impatient. Some twisted their necks, rubbed their arms, stretched their legs and feet, and one even pressed his hands on his stomach, secretly bowed his waist and pouted his buttocks, and immediately slammed With a sound, let out a stinky and loud fart.

The men immediately laughed in low voices, and some cursed in a low voice: "You fart as soon as you fucking fart, why did you spray wet your pants?"

The laughter among the hills suddenly became louder.

Wei Bao also couldn't help laughing, and then immediately reacted, hardened his face, and opened his mouth to scold everyone.

At this moment, the sound of hooves suddenly came from the other side of the hill.

Now, before Wei Bao gave orders, the men immediately fell silent. Some of them turned their heads and winked at the people around them with joyful expressions, some sullenly stretched out their hands to grab the guy next to them, and some immediately began to sweat on their foreheads. , lying on the ground, buried his head deeply in the weeds.

"Don't move around, I'll go up and have a look first!" Wei Bao said as he climbed up to the top of the slope.

Little by little, he reached the top of the slope, carefully pushed aside the golden grass blades in front of him, and looked down.

At this moment, five little lambs are being surrounded by a wooden fence at the bottom of the slope on the side of the hill facing away from the village. There are faint traces of digging and filling in the meadow in the depression around the fence.

"Hmph, so what if it can climb over dirt walls and fences. It only dares to steal things from livestock. No matter how evil it is, I don't believe it knows how to avoid pits!"

Wei Bao's eyes swept across the extremely simple trap at the bottom of the slope, and then he slowly raised his chin, and looked further away in the direction of the sound of hooves.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, the face of this tall and thin young man in red robe suddenly changed color, and he cursed loudly: "Which murderer is that? What are you doing to spoil the man!"

Hearing this, a man behind him quickly twisted his body and climbed up, looking in that direction, his face showed a sudden expression: "Don't Brother Bao recognize him? That guy is the shepherd slave of Anfenghou's family in the city , it is said that my ancestors were from Shanrong, who grew a big beard when he was only a teenager, and in the past two years, he often wandered around outside the city to herd cows, as if he was called... oh, big stone!"

Wei Bao frowned, staring fixedly at the young man who was galloping on a green ox, and seeing that the other was coming in his direction by coincidence, his eyes immediately became a little angry: "How can there be such a cow herding?" Yes, running so fast is to rush to reincarnate? And that cow, it can run faster than the horses at our station!"

As the bull riding boy got closer and closer, Wei Bao had already seen the other person's face clearly, if he hadn't heard the man next to him say that this boy was only in his teens, he really wouldn't have been able to see it.

I saw that the boy was very strong and burly, with a round face, square nose, thick lips and big ears, bright eyes, beards all over his face, curly and thick beard, black with purple in it, making him look very rough and majestic.

The young man was wearing a green jacket and a pair of black trousers with pockets, and he knew it didn't fit just by looking at it, and he was so stretched out.

Wei Bao's eyes sized up the young man's black and purple beard, and then he fixed his eyes on the other's waist, where hung a rather small scimitar in a leather sheath: "You really are a barbarian!"

Marquis Anfeng's Mansion is the most prominent family in Jiuzhen County, Liaozhou. It is not a secret in the county that the family keeps beard slaves, but the number is limited after all. Wei Bao has always only heard about it, but has never dealt with it.

"Is this guy called a big stone?"

Seeing that the boy on the bull had already rushed to the front, Wei Bao had no choice but to stand up and warn. If a man and a bull were injured by the pit dug by his people, it would not be fun if the mansion of Marquis Anfeng came to question him!
But before Wei Bao could straighten his waist, a big black and white guy suddenly jumped out of the tall grass between the bull riding boy and the pit of the sheep pen, which was more than half the height of a person!
The condescending Wei Bao saw it most clearly. At first glance, this big guy looked like a horse. It had a horse face and a long neck with a white mane. It was similar in size, but it was far fatter than a horse. With black and white colorful tiger stripes.

The four legs under it are not like a horse, but like a fierce beast like a liger. What is raised in the air is not a hoof, but a sharp white claw with thick pads, which also makes it stand like before. Like crouching down in the grass and sneaking.

This black-and-white tiger-striped beast, which looks like a horse and looks like a tiger, was originally attracted by the lamb, and was carefully hiding in the grass to wait and see. Suddenly, a bull-riding boy came straight towards him aggressively from behind, and he couldn't hide it. , jumped up immediately, and jumped towards the opposite direction, that is, the direction of the sheepfold.

Perhaps it thought that the purple-bearded boy running wildly on a bull was far more terrifying than Wei Bao standing on the hillside, or maybe it was not afraid of either end, and just wanted to catch a lamb before leaving.

There was no need for Wei Bao to warn of such a sudden change, a moo sounded with the meaning of shock and anger, the green bull under the purple bearded boy's crotch slowed down suddenly, and the boy himself even pulled out his waist with a swipe The scimitar that was no longer than the length of the forearm.

The next moment, the purple-bearded boy savagely beat the green bull with the back of his knife, and at the same time stretched out his hand and tightly twisted one of the horns of the green bull, forcing the bull's head to point at the back of the strange beast, and rushed straight up. !
