"Things that can't be resolved in public will definitely turn into private fights!"
Wu Ming looked in the direction of the county, a cold smile on his face. "My attack on the caravan this time must have left an impression of me as a young, impulsive, yet vicious, and vicious person. Right now, there must be a bunch of people from the Zhou family shouting things like 'this kid can't be left alive', wanting to kill me to prevent future troubles!"
"The Zhou family can mobilize more people than the Wu family, and their weapons are better than the Wu family's. In fact, they even have more experts than the Wu family. After hearing the news, they will definitely do their best and move out in full force … when the time comes …"
Wu Ming looked at the mountains behind him. The endless mountain range was like a ferocious beast in the darkness, carrying with it an indescribable sense of danger.
"When the time comes, I definitely won't turn back. Instead, I will enter the mountains, deep into the mountains! I will lead my men to deal with them! "
Marching in the mountains meant that rations, equipment, and medicine were all major problems. The Zhou family would only think that Wu Ming had lost his mind and that his death was near. They would definitely chase after him.
And that was exactly what Wu Ming was aiming for.
Although he was definitely not a match for the Zhou family in terms of resources consumption, he had a cheat like the Temple of the Gods!
With the Temple of the Gods in hand, as long as he had enough merit points, it was like opening a golden finger with unlimited resources. In the deep mountains, this advantage would be magnified thousands of times.
Of course, the consumption was also terrifying.
Although the Temple of the Gods allowed for the exchange of rations, Wu Ming had calculated that one stone of rations at the Temple of the Gods, then using merit points to bring it back to the main world, would be enough to buy forty or fifty stone of rations in Dazhou.
But in the mountains, even a hundred stone of rations would not be enough to buy one stone of rations during a battle! Not to mention, there would be all sorts of medicine and equipment to replenish. This was completely worth it.
Of course, this method was firstly costly, and secondly, only the Apostles of the Gods could use it.
Not every Reincarnator was like Wu Ming, who could treat the Temple of the Gods as his home and return whenever he wanted.
According to Shan Lan and Ling Gu Hong, there was only one chance to heal and exchange after each mission. Want to enter again? Wait for the next mission first!
This time, Wu Ming was also determined. Even if he had to exhaust all his merit points, he would drag the Zhou Family's elites deep in the mountains until they ran out of ammunition and rations. Then, he would capture them all in one fell swoop!
It was true that the Zhou Clan was powerful, but the Wu Clan was not the only enemy.
Once they suffered heavy losses, the Wu family could ally with other enemies and slowly cut off their flesh to bleed.
"As expected, I am such a vengeful person …"
Wu Ming looked at the night sky and couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, with the Overgod Hall's accumulation, it was not impossible that they did not have items suitable for the decapitation strategy. It was even possible that they could directly take the Zhou family leader's life.
However, first of all, the Zhou Clan lived in a county town and was surrounded by guards. It was very dangerous. Secondly, the Zhou Clan had thousands of members. Even if they killed one of them, the second or third Clan Head could be elected!
Furthermore, according to the orthodox law, the new Patriarch must avenge the previous Patriarch. Only then would his position be stable.
Rather than causing a shocking case like this, it would be better to uproot the Zhou Clan's foundation and get things done once and for all.
To be honest, this was just a patrol station suppressing bandits. In terms of impact, it was naturally much smaller than assassinating the Patriarch of a large clan.
As long as they were not of the same rank, no matter how many people died, it would not challenge the sensitive nerves of those carnivores.
…
"Young Master, the captives have been screened. There are 32 of them. Among them, we caught five or six small leaders. There's also a one-eyed man who says he's the second-in-command of the stronghold. He's willing to surrender …"
Wu Ming came to the center of the hall. Zhao Song brought the captives in. Each of them was tied up with hemp ropes, and they looked terrified.
"Sir, I'm willing to surrender. I'm the second-in-command here. I know the treasures buried by the First Master …!"
When the one-eyed man saw Wu Ming, his face lit up with joy and he shouted loudly.
"Noisy! Kill them! "
Wu Ming frowned. Wu Tiehu, who was beside him, immediately laughed sinisterly. He swung his long saber, and a head flew into the air. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
This cruel scene instantly caused the people below to go silent like cicadas in winter.
"I don't care about your treasures … I don't care whether you're loyal or not. If you want to live now, go forward and chop off one of these leaders' limbs …"
Wu Ming pointed at a few of the small leaders who were trembling.
In fact, it was too common for bandits to fight each other. This was not a big deal at all. It was just a routine action.
If they were not willing to even do this, they would naturally be killed.
After a series of curses, screams, and the smell of blood, there were only a few dozen people left in the hall.
"Very well … I need you to do something for me. After it's done, this stronghold, and even the riches, can be given to you …"
Wu Ming smiled.
Naturally, the second-in-command and the leader could not be left alive. Otherwise, these bandits would definitely be like ticking time bombs.
But now, they could be put to use a little.
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
The mountains were filled with thick fog, with the chirping of birds and chirping of insects. In the cold air, a caravan was moving slowly with difficulty.
"Let's work harder!"
The servant who was driving the caravan shouted. "We've already missed the Laba Festival. We can't be any later. We have to hand over our tasks earlier and go back to celebrate the new year!"
"Once we pass Little Spoon Mountain, it'll be a flat plain!"
In front of the caravan, the plump steward had a smile on his face. He looked at a bronze-skinned man who looked like a vajra. "Thank you for protecting us along the way, Martial Master Song!"
"You and I are working for the same master, so this is nothing."
Song Jingang's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. "A small half of the three families and eighteen strongholds in Cloud Ping County recognize us as the Zhou family's flag. Even though Jie Tianfeng and his group on Little Spoon Mountain are not going to commit a great crime, it's still better to be careful!"
When the caravan passed through a small col, the bushes on the opposite side moved. A group of bandits charged down under Jie Tianfeng's banner. "Charge!"
They moved in panic, and there were very few of them. It was as if they were running for their lives, causing the guards of the caravan to laugh in surprise.
"Hmm? Something's not right! "
Song Jingang shuddered. He immediately saw the first bandit crash into a guard and fall to the ground. The bandit begged loudly, "Grandpa, spare me! Spare me! We were forced to do this! "
"What's going on?"
Just when the guards were confused, another group of people appeared. "We're from the Inspection Office. We're here to capture the bandits, Jie Tianfeng's group. Don't make a mistake!"
This group of people had excellent leather armor, and they held sabers and bows. They charged down in an orderly formation, as if they were a magnificent army.
"This is military law! Our county's Inspection Office actually has such talents? "
Song Jingang was stunned.
This official's appearance was obviously very intimidating. The guards all sheathed their blades. Only the shopkeeper smiled bitterly and went forward, prepared to pay a large sum of money.
"Hmm? No, why does he look so unfamiliar? Everyone, be on guard! "
After being stunned for a moment, Song Jingang was the first to react, and he shouted.
But in an instant, the Inspection Office soldier opposite him had a savage smile on his face. He raised his hand and shot an arrow.
Xiu Xiu!
The arrows were like rain, and the guards who were not prepared fell to the ground one after another. In an instant, two wolf tooth arrows made of fine steel with hooks flew towards Song Jingang from different directions.
"Ah! They're aiming at me? "
In a split second, Song Jingang dodged to the side and retreated a few feet. He lowered his chest and shrank his back, as if he had turned into a thin piece of paper, and avoided the two arrows.
Puff!
But immediately after, a flower of blood bloomed from his shoulder.
"Good archery!" Song Jingang grunted. "The two arrows just now were to force me to hide. Is this your trump card?"
Clap clap!
In the dense forest, Wu Ming and Feng Han came out one after another. They applauded. "Martial Master Song is known as the reincarnation of Vajra. Your martial arts are indeed extraordinary. Even the wolf tooth arrow from the Iron Body Bow could only penetrate three inches … But … where's the poison?"
"Poison?"
Song Jingang suddenly looked up and saw a layer of dark green extending from his shoulder, but he didn't feel any pain, as if he was numb. He couldn't help but be shocked. He knew that this kind of situation was the most fatal. "You despicable people!"
"In a battle, what is despicable or not? Everyone, listen to my orders. Leave no one alive! "
Wu Ming laughed maniacally. His subordinate, Feng Han, pounced forward in an instant. He crossed the sky, and his claws fell one after another. "Heavenly Eagle Thirteen Strikes!"
"Hah! Diamond Body! "
Song Jingang's blood rushed to his head. His body seemed to emit a thin layer of golden light as he fought with Feng Han.
But even though his martial arts were slightly better, he was injured and poisoned. He was at an absolute disadvantage and was forced into a corner.
"Haha … Kill!"
On the other side, Wu Tiehu and the others formed a small triangle. They tore apart the defense line like fierce tigers and slaughtered their way into the caravan.
His blade was sharp and he pressed forward. Together with the military formation, he was even more invincible. "Young Master has ordered us to kill these people and twenty percent of the goods will belong to us. We can take whatever we want. What are we waiting for?"
With him taking the lead and killing two people consecutively, Ding Xiangyong who was behind him also gradually let go and started killing with bloodshot eyes.
Wu Ming carried a crossbow on his back and did not move. Anyone who wanted to escape was shot by him. Not a single one escaped.
Bang!
In the middle of the battle, two people clashed with each other and quickly retreated. Feng Han and Song Jingang's figures appeared, both of them were bleeding.
"Aren't you afraid of the Zhou family's revenge? Killing innocent people is tantamount to rebellion! "
Song Jingang shouted. A Talisman was placed on the wound and immediately stopped the bleeding.
"Haha … We are arresting the bandits. You were killed by the bandits. What does it have to do with us?"
Feng Han laughed and also used a Talisman. He became spirited and rushed forward again.
"This is not going to stop until one of us is dead!"
Song Jingang's heart trembled. "And … where did this talisman come from?"
The Minor Rejuvenation Talisman in his hand was a life-saving item that he got because of his relationship with the Zhou family.
But now that he saw Feng Han using it as if it was nothing, he suddenly felt that it was unfathomable.
"Let's go!"
When he turned around, he saw that almost all the caravans around him had been killed. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and suddenly ran for his life.
Swoosh!
A crossbow bolt shot over like a maggot in the tarsal bone. It hit him right in the middle of his thigh, bringing with it dark green blood.
"You still want to run after being hit by my poisonous arrow?"
A young voice came from behind Song Jingang's ear. Then, he fell into complete darkness.
