Chapter 77 A mouthful of coptis, a mouthful of honey

"At the beginning, I was not sure whether you and the other three were bandits, but after arriving here, I confirmed it.

Logically speaking, if you three are really hunters, you will definitely not dare to lead the way for the officers and soldiers at will to avoid offending the bandits. At the beginning, when I asked you three to lead the way, it would not be so easy for you three to agree. But after I arrived here, I asked you three to continue leading the way, but you three said you were afraid of bandits."

Li Zaigu glanced at the three of them and continued.

On the surface, he said to the three people, but in fact he explained it to the county magistrates.

"You three were too proactive at the beginning, but later they seemed passive. The inconsistency was also one of the reasons why they showed their strength."

The three of them knew that they could no longer hide their true identities, and murderous intent flashed through their eyes.

The short hunter first attacked and suddenly pulled out a hatchet and wanted to cut Li Zaigu.

The sword light passed by!

Blood splashes!

The short hunter fell down!

Xiao Yu was passing the sword light.

Li Zaigu had already secretly signaled his four subordinates to pay attention to the every move of the three so-called hunters.

The other two "hunters" had drawn out their hatchets, and one tall "hunter" did not resist, but ran away.

Another "hunter" who was not tall or short was about to shoot a knife, but saw that the short man's throat had been cut.

The tall man ran less than three steps, but found that there was one more person in front of him blocking his way.

At some point, Zhang Zheng was already standing in front of the tall man.

The tall man was shocked and before he could swing his knife, he was knocked to death by Zhang Zheng!

The remaining "hunter" who was neither tall nor short was so scared that he threw away the hatchet in his hand and raised his hands consciously.

"Kneel down!" Xiao Yu shouted.

The "hunter" who was neither tall nor short hurriedly knelt down, trembling all over because of fear.

Xiao Yu suddenly waved his sword from his hand.

"Give up your life..." The neither tall nor short "hunter" looked pale and screamed anxiously.

The horizontal knife in Xiao Yu's hand did not cut through the other party's throat or pierce the other party's heart, but cut off the bow string on the other party's back.

The "hunter" who was neither tall nor short was so scared that he trembled all over and shivered like a sieve.

Seeing this, the tea shop owner looked extremely ugly and fear appeared in his eyes.

The bearded county magistrate came back from the shock and suspicion, clasped his fists at Li Zaigu, and said a little embarrassedly: "General, the official... the official is ashamed! The official has just collided with the general. I am really sorry, I hope the general will forgive me!"

Li Zaigu's mouth raised slightly and waved his hand indifferently.

"I really didn't expect that these three people were bandits." The bearded county magistrate exclaimed and said angrily, "It made me speak for these three people just now, so I was so blind!"

Li Zaigu ignored him and turned to the "hunter" who was kneeling on the ground, not tall or short, and said coldly: "Do you want to die or live?"

The "hunter" who was neither tall nor short didn't expect Li Zaigu to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before he said tremblingly: "I want to live."

He didn't want to die in vain as he was like those two companions at such a young age.

"It's easy to live, it depends on whether you can cooperate."

"How do I want to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. Tell me, which mountain road ahead can actually reach the back mountain of Hujuzhai?"

“The mountain road on the left.”

"It seems that you don't want to live anymore, and you dare to open your eyes and tell lies!"

"I, I didn't lie to you! The mountain road on the left can really lead to the back mountain of Huju Village!"

"oh?"

"But, the mountain road on the left is not satisfied with the mechanism trap and there are still ambush."

"really?"

"My life is already in your hands, I dare not lie to you!"

Li Zaigu stared at him half-believingly, pondered for a moment, and said with a stern face: "Where is the mountain road on the right in front leading to?"

"Leading to the main gate of Huju Village." The neither tall nor short "hunter" said carefully.

"There are more than one mountain road leading to the main gate of Huju Village?" Li Zaigu asked.

"Yes, more than one." The neither tall nor short "hunter" replied without thinking, "The other one is the avenue, which can accommodate a carriage. The small hill leading to the main entrance on the front right can barely accommodate one person, and it is steep and rugged. Not only that, there are traps along the road."

"Apart from the trap, is there anyone ambush?"

"There is no ambush, because it is steep and rugged, if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff."

"Very good!" Li Zaigu's tone became calm, "You can continue to live!"

The "hunter" who is neither tall nor short breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zaigu signaled him to stand up, and then said lightly: "What's your name?"

The "hunter" who was neither tall nor short hurriedly said: "Go back to Jun Ye, the youngest name is Zeng Jiu."

"Zeng Jiu, I ask you, where is the specific setting of the mechanism trap in front of you? Where is the bandit ambush?" Li Zaigu asked again.

Zeng Jiu hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Returning to Jun Ye, the young man only knows the traps on the mountain road leading to the back mountain of Huju Village and where the ambushers are. As for the small mountain road leading to the main gate, the young man doesn't know."

Li Zaigu said "hmm" thoughtfully, and then said, "If this general wants you to lead the way, are you willing?"

"This..." Zeng Jiu hesitated.

"If you don't want to, I will not force you." Li Zaigu said without caring.

Zeng Jiu looked at Li Zaigu half-believingly.

"I just said that you can continue to live, and you can continue to live." Li Zaigu's tone was serious.

Zeng Jiu still couldn't believe it.

Li Zaigu glanced at Zeng Jiu and continued, "You can lead the way, but what I want to remind you is that if I let you go back, you may be killed by bandits."

Hearing this, Zeng Jiu's face changed drastically, and fear appeared in his eyes.

"Have you ever thought that if the bandits knew you had betrayed, they would spare you?"

Li Zaigu's tone was calm, but after Zeng Jiu heard this, he felt cold sweat on his forehead.

Zeng Jiu knew the cruelty of the bandits. If he was found betrayed, he would definitely not let him go. At that time, he might die even more miserably.

When Li Zaigu saw Zeng Jiu like this, his lips raised slightly, and a playful smile flashed across his face, and then said, "However, if you help me to destroy Huju Village, you don't have to be afraid that the bandits in Huju Village will cause trouble for you."

Li Zaigu's move was ruthless enough, first scaring Zeng Jiu, and then giving him hope.

"June, the young man is willing to lead the way." Zeng Jiu gritted his teeth, "In fact, the young man doesn't want to be a bandit, and he is forced to helpless. The young man has long been unable to stand the bandits robbing their families and bullying the people."

Zeng Jiu thought to himself that he had betrayed Huju Village anyway, so he didn't care about helping the government to wipe out Huju Village.

Otherwise, either Hu Ju Village will die or he will die by himself.

Li Zaigu nodded slightly while listening.

Others showed disdainful expressions while listening.

As for the performance of the tea shop owner, it was a bit different, and his brows were frowning very tightly.

"Okay, welcome to turn from evil to justice!" Li Zaigu squeezed out a smile, "If you can successfully bring this general to Huju Village, and after the Huju Village is wiped out, I will report to the court and give you a reward."

"The young ones also have a reward?" Zeng Jiu was delighted.

He is a bandit for money, and if he has a reward, it would be the best.

"I keep my word!" Li Zaigu said firmly.

Zeng Jiu immediately bowed and thanked him.

Li Zaigu's mouthful of honey is really puzzling.

His four subordinates looked at each other and blinked, secretly admiring Li Zaigu's skills in controlling people.
