Chapter 181: Separation and Escape 19
Some widowers and second-rate guys were shamelessly tempted. Xu Chang was meddling too much. In these troubled times, the strong should be respected.
More than 40 people stood up from the team of more than 200 people and echoed their views.
Zhang Ludan was very proud of himself. He thought he still had the potential to be a leader. He looked at the former village chief provocatively, but the former village chief didn't even look at them.
"Hmph, let's grab a territory of our own."
Zhang Ludan estimated the combat power of his side and knew that he was no match for the opponent, otherwise he would really want to grab a wave.
Xu Tao winked at a young man who was leaving, and the young man nodded slightly and walked at the back.
With the troublesome person gone, Xu Chang felt a sense of relief. He divided the 160 people into four groups, selecting two managers, one male and one female, for each group. He had an elite team composed entirely of trustworthy young men.
Following Tao Yatou's advice, he had been secretly training these forty-plus people for an hour every day since a month ago. This was also the reason why they didn't bring back much prey even though they went hunting.
Fortunately, they usually had Xia Ming's hunting team to cover them, otherwise they would have been exposed long ago. Now that the troublesome people left, he didn't have to train in secret anymore.
"A Tao."
"Brother Ming, why did you follow me? Go back quickly."
For the first time, Xia Ming disobeyed and followed the little girl closely.
Xu Tao had no choice but to pull his men to secretly follow Zhang Ludan and his team. It was their business if they were willing to die, but it couldn't affect their plans.
"A Tao, I'll go take care of them."
Xu Tao blinked her eyes. It was not that she looked down on the other party, but it was a bit difficult to fight forty people.
"Mongolian sweat medicine."
Xu Tao's eyes lit up. If she hadn't told me about the good stuff earlier, she would go and drug those bandits! She was thinking carefully about how to let them fight each other and reap the benefits.
"A Tao, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Tao thought about it and told him everything she had seen. Seeing the man's gloomy face, she pouted and said, "Wow, Xia Ming, are you tired of me? You are mean to me, I...I."
Forget it. Xu Tao didn’t want to embarrass herself, so she solved the problem in one go.
Xia Ming nodded his head and said he would settle the score with her after the matter was resolved. The two of them whispered for a long time and came up with a plan, but they had a disagreement about who would go to the village to drug her.
"you..."
Xu Tao watched the man jumping on the tree trunk, his fingers trembling.
Humph, it’s no big deal to be able to dance.
When they reached the edge of the bandits' territory, they let a sheep out. They were afraid that the group of people would not be able to catch it, so they deliberately drew two lines on the ground around their feet.
"Brother Donkey Egg, there are sheep ahead!"
"Brothers, come on, we are in for a treat today."
Zhang Ludan rushed to the front happily, and the others worked together to successfully capture the animal.
"Hahaha, I told you that you'll have a good life if you follow me out here. Let's kill the sheep today and have some fun with our brothers."
"Brother Donkey Egg is awesome! If I had known that following you would bring me great fortune, who would still stay in that group of idiots?"
"Don't worry, brothers. When we recruit more brothers, we'll strike back. No men will be spared, and you can keep whichever women you like."
Another round of cheers rang out in the team, and everyone was blowing rainbow farts crazily.
Old Mrs. Zhang had a long face. Why should her son share what he caught with these inferior people? She was the mother of the boss now, so she should have at least two people to serve her. Unfortunately, those little bitches refused to follow him.
A young man stepped forward and volunteered to cook. Zhang Ludan was very pleased with the other party's understanding and gave him half a bowl of soup.
More than 40 people shared a sheep, and each person barely got two or three pieces. However, they were very satisfied. After all, it was a good omen.
After eating, I felt a little tired and fell asleep on the ground.
"Brothers, kill!"
Hearing the screams, the sleeping people woke up and looked at the big knife so close to them with their legs trembling.
As more and more people fell, Zhang Ludan shouted in panic, "Everyone, take action, or we will all die here."
"Ahhh, don't kill me." Xu Baoxing woke up in pain after being stepped on. Seeing the flash of knife and blood in front of her, she screamed in fear. She was clearly picking wild vegetables, so why did she end up in this damn place?
The people at the scene had no mercy on the woman. The woman was making so much noise that it was a headache, so they swung their knives and chopped her down.
Perhaps it was the instinct for survival, Xu Baoxing rolled down to avoid the vital parts. The pain in her shoulder made her face pale, but she bit her lower lip tightly and used the corpse to cover herself.
After chopping, the bandits went straight to the next target. They said, "You bastard, you dared to kill their second-in-command. If they don't avenge him, they are not worthy of being brothers."
After a bloody fight, the bandits were more powerful. Only about ten of them were left out of the twenty. However, they were caught by the oriole behind them and were wiped out by Xu Chang.
Xu Baoxing squinted secretly and looked around. In the moonlight, she could see the face of the leader clearly. Just as she was about to shout for joy, she was killed by a knife. She stared at the familiar face with her eyes wide open.
"Uncle Chang, there are still twenty bandits using Chinese medicine on the mountain. Let's take advantage of his illness to kill him."
Xu Chang had no objection and led eighty young and strong men to the mountain. After a bloody battle, they eliminated all the bandits.
Several people were seriously injured, but they survived after being treated by Dr. Zhou. However, they probably won’t be able to exert much effort in the future.
A lot of rice, flour, gold and silver were found in the village, and an extra fifty taels of silver was given to a few men, but no one made a fuss.
Xu Tao focused on finding the bandit leader's house, and she actually found a mechanism. The space inside was not big, only about ten square meters.
There were ten wooden chests inside, five chests of silver, one chest of gold, two chests of precious cloth, one chest of jewels, and one chest of various weapons, all of which were taken away.
After searching carefully for a long time, he found a small secret compartment. Inside was a pair of daggers that could cut through iron like mud. He took them away to give to his sister-in-law and mother for their safety.
After making sure nothing was left out, he left the house and ran into Xia Ming, who looked anxious.
"A Tao, where have you been? I can't find you."
"Hey, I've been staying in the house. Did Uncle Chang give you this big knife?"
The big knife that Xia Ming was holding was the same one the leader was holding. With this big knife, he was able to injure a few men even though the bandit leader was half dead.
"A Tao, this is for your self-defense."
Xu Tao waved her hand, took out the dagger from her arms, and showed it off. It was not much different from the top-level dagger she had exchanged in the wasteland.
"It's a good dagger. Be careful with it, Tao."
"I see. Let's go somewhere else and see if there's anything else."
The stronghold wasn't large, and after exploring all of it, they discovered a secret cell. To avoid exposing the Xu family, they agreed to wait until everyone had moved a bit further away before Xia Ming, in disguise, returned and released the group.
Some food was left for them, but nothing else.
