Warring States Eagle

Chapter 26 Trap

"My lord, I have one more request," Xingsuke continued.

"What?" Zheng Liang felt that this guy was a little too much.You must know that you are still my prisoner now, at worst, I will torture you to extract a confession, I don't believe that you will not be recruited by the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty?

"My lord, if you don't agree to my conditions, even if you die, I won't tell you where the treasure is located." Seemingly seeing Masara's plan, Xingsuke quickly puffed up his chest and said.His eyes were full of firmness, as if he would rather be broken than broken.

"Hmph, I, Luo Shi Masaragi, as the lord of the Luo family, would I be such a person? Well, let me tell you about another condition of yours, but remember, this is the last condition. If there are other conditions, hehe ..." Masara, who is 1.7 meters tall, leaned over to stare at Kosuke, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, and said in a stern voice.

"Huh!" Seeing that Zheng Liang finally agreed to his terms, Xing Zhu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Just now he tried desperately, "Sir, it's like this, I still have a daughter."

Forehead!What is this?After hearing Xingsuke's words, Zhengliang felt very funny. Why did this guy report his family's population to me?No matter how many daughters you have, as long as you eliminate the bandits, they can save you.

"My lord, that's actually not my biological daughter, and she's not in the cottage now," Xingsuke said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Zheng Liang looked at the guy under his feet strangely, it seemed strange. "You stand up and say, I have promised to save your wife and daughter, so you don't have to hug my feet anymore," Zheng Liang said.

"Yes, my lord," Xingsuke quickly let go of his hands, and then knelt in front of Zheng Liang, "My lord, in fact, this daughter is the biological daughter of the old leader of the original cottage."Then Xingsuke explained the ins and outs of the whole thing.It turns out that on the day Ban Shi Dalang rebelled, the youngest daughter of the former village chief happened to be playing with Xingzhu's daughter at Xingzhu's house, thus avoiding disaster.When he saw the eldest son of the old lord who had risked his life to break through the siege and was seriously injured at home, Xingsuke knew that the old leader was attacked and killed by Dalang Banshi and local tyrants at the foot of the mountain. The leader's residence in the cottage.The eldest son of the old leader died of serious injuries shortly after he hid at Xingsuke's house. Before he died, he asked Xingzhu Nian to try to protect his sister for the sake of his father's care for his family. As a reward, he also told Kosuke about another secret material storage location that only a few people in the family knew.

Xingsuke was really grateful to the old leader for taking care of his family, otherwise he would have been snatched away by some rogue bandits when he first went up the mountain, so he hurriedly buried the young master in the grove behind his house, and then found another The secret place hid the old chief's daughter.On that day, there was news that Ban Shi Dalang rebelled and led people to break into the old leader's residence. The old leader's second son led his family members to commit suicide and robbed the residence.Immediately afterwards, Banshi Dalang began to investigate the cottage, and Xingsuke was also taken to the cottage's meeting hall.After voluntarily offering a financial storage room of the former old leader (in fact, this is just a storage room on the face of the old leader), after Ban Shi Dalang reaped a lot of money, fortunately, he was able to save his life.It turns out that the family members of the old leader, Ban Shidalang, thought that they all died in the fire. Even if someone could escape, Ban Shidalang was not afraid. What kind of threat could they pose if they had nothing, so he randomly searched nearby. After a while, the investigation was stopped, and the daughter of the old leader who was hiding in the mountains escaped unharmed.

One month later, after gaining the initial trust of Ban Shi Dalang, Xingzhu took the opportunity of going down the mountain to deliver supplies to send the old leader's daughter to the home of an old hunter at the foot of the mountain, and asked them to take care of his daughter in name.There are only two couples in this old Orion family. They were lucky enough to save their lives in a bandit attack, so they are happy to adopt the daughter of the savior.But the old hunter is very old and can no longer go hunting, and the food on the ground is only enough for the couple not to starve to death, so Xingsuke will secretly send some food to them every once in a while.As for where did Xingsuke get his food?Of course it was a warehouse in the cottage, anyway, he was in charge of food management, so no one would notice if he took some secretly.As for the treasure, Xingzhu used several opportunities to enter the back mountain of the village at night, followed the route provided by the late young master, and found a hidden cave. There are indeed a lot of supplies in the cave, and there are more than a dozen boxes. Inside is the wealth accumulated by the old leader's family for decades, and there are nearly thousands of copper coins alone.Xingsuke also wanted to take some more coins to use at first, but after thinking about it, he just took dozens of coins and let it go.Why?These coppers are too scattered, too bulky, and relatively heavy. There are always nearly 1000 coppers, which add up to 3000 to 4000 grams, so it is easy to be discovered by other bandits when they are taken out.Besides, there are not many opportunities to go down the mountain now, and even if there is a chance, the time to leave to act alone is very short. In these bitter cold places where there are not many wandering merchants, it is difficult to use coins. It is better to use grain.

After listening to Xingsuke's narration, Zhengliang felt very embarrassed. He didn't expect such a small bandit den to have so many twists and turns. A little bit of conscience.

"My lord, please take care of this old hunter family, otherwise they will all starve to death," Xingsuke said sadly, "This is the last blood of the old leader, and I am willing to dedicate this treasure of the old leader to my lord in exchange for The blood of the old leader survived, and I believe the old leader is willing to see it; in this way, I will not live up to the entrustment of the late young master."After saying that, Kosuke prostrated himself on the ground.

"Well, it's not too difficult to take care of this old Orion family and their daughter. It's enough to provide some fields for them to settle down," Zheng Liang thought to himself.

"Okay, Xingsuke, after a few days, I will find someone to let the old hunters move to my territory, at least to ensure that they can live in peace and not starve to death," Zheng Liang said with his head down, "Now you Let’s talk about the situation of Oishi Yeji in detail.”

"Yes, yes, thank you for your great kindness and virtue, you are the reincarnated Bodhisattva!" Xingsuke kowtowed several times in succession, his voice choked with thanks.Xingsuke knew that he was very lucky. As long as he saw his wife and daughter were rescued safely, he could die in peace even if he was beaten to pieces by these villagers. The ruthlessness when he asked for help, and the sinisterness when Oishi Taro robbed his wife and daughter, even if he went to hell, he would try his best to drag these people down with him, so Xingsuke decided to do his best to help this soul-stirring man in front of him. Trembling "devil".

So, after calming down a bit, Xingsuke sat up on his knees, saluted Masara again, and said, "My lord, Oishi Yeji is a hot-tempered, impulsive guy, much worse than Banshi Dalang's cunning and cruelty. So he has been suppressed by Dashi Ishiro, and I have a plan that can easily cause Oishi Yeji to be severely injured." The things he cared about in his heart were behind, and Xingsuke seemed to have regained the demeanor of giving advice in the cottage.

"Huh?" Zheng Liang glanced at the guy who suddenly became energetic, and motioned him to continue talking.

"My lord, if I didn't make a mistake in my prediction, these hell-going guys planned to attack your territory tonight, but they were captured by you." Kosuke felt Masara's eyes asking him to continue, and immediately continued.

"Then, Oishi Yeji on the mountain will not know the situation here until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and he will definitely be furious and lead his men to attack the territory, so as to save his only son," Xingsuke continued. .

"Can't they come and attack us in the middle of the night?" Zhengliang asked.

"No, my lord, you don't know the situation on the mountain. There are some traps set up along the road, so bandits basically don't cross the mountain road at night. Even if they can't make it back to the village before dark, they usually choose to spend the night at the bottom of the mountain. It took two days to go up the mountain," Kosuke said with certainty.

"Oh?" Zheng Liang was also worried that the escaped person would flee back to the village overnight to report the news, and then the bandits would immediately go down the mountain overnight to attack the territory.After all, fighting at night is much more difficult for the Ashgaru Territory where the current level of force is low and night blindness is common.As for the reasons for the big victory tonight, one is because the bandits were careless and they were fully prepared, and the other was that the bandits lit torches at night, which became the target of the ashigaru in the dark. If these bandits came prepared It is not so easy to deal with.Now if the bandits came to attack the territory during the day, at least their own side could make up for the lack of force through formation.

"My lord, if Ishinoji leads people to attack the territory tomorrow, then this damn guy will be a good trap," Xingsuke said, pointing at the scattered bandits in the distance.

"Him?" Zhengliang looked suspiciously at the bandit who was strangled by Xingsuke just now and almost went to see Yama.
