Tongma Village.

In the middle of the night, Luo Xingchen arrived at the back mountain.

No wonder this place became a refuge. It turns out that there are many natural caves in the back mountains and the terrain is complex. It is difficult for non-locals to figure out where they are hiding.

There are about five hundred villagers, which seems to be a large number of people, but once they hide in those strange caves that extend in all directions, they seem to have disappeared, and no trace can be seen from the outside.

"The traces on the road have been cleared."

In a corner, Luo Xingchen said.

"The caves here are good, a natural place to hide soldiers." Mo Anbai looked at the place and said with a smile.

"It won't work. Look, it's dark here. We can only hide temporarily. How can we wait for a long time?"

"Those officers, soldiers, and horse bandits didn't come into the mountains to look for us. It's not that they have nothing to do, but it's just that the gains outweigh the losses. Just to block hundreds of villagers, they have to pay too much. Who is willing to do it?"

Luo Xingchen said.

"Then how long should we hide? The slave family wants to go out and have a look." Mo Anbai said.

"Don't worry, let's go out together when the night is over and dawn," Luo Xingchen said.

The villagers lit candles in the cave, and those who brought bedding spread the bedding on the ground and went to sleep.

Waiting until the sky turned white, the villagers who were guarding the shelter outside the cave entered the cave.

"There's no one outside."

"Don't worry, let's go explore again."

The old village road.

However, at this time, Luo Xingchen expressed his farewell to him.

"We're taking a step ahead."

"Be careful along the way." Old Cunzheng was quite reluctant to leave. You know, it is rare to see such a generous businessman just to have some food and sleep for a night.

After leaving Houshan.

Luo Xingchen, Mo Anbai and ten personal guards rode to the head of the village.

"Sir, Old Cunzheng looks at you as if you are looking at Kaizi." Mo Anbai said with a smile.

"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. The money is worth it." Luo Xingchen said.

In Lao Muramasa's view, Luo Xingchen was a representative of stupid people with too much money, but in Luo Xingchen's view, the money was not wasted.

You know, he knew a lot of things through the mouth of old Muramasa.

Those things are important information.

This information will not only help him return to Daqi, but also help his grandma, the eldest princess Tuoba Xian's great cause in Liao.

"Let's set off and return south."

Luo Xingchen did not intend to participate in the battle between the officers and soldiers and the blood-robed thieves. In fact, even if he wanted to participate, he could not do it. How powerful could a mere twelve people be? They could only protect themselves.

Along the way, they were very vigilant, afraid of getting involved.

"In front, there is the smell of blood."

Mo Anbai smelled the bloody smell coming from the front, she frowned and said.

Not long after, a group of defeated soldiers appeared before their eyes.

Seeing their cavalry team of more than a dozen people, the defeated generals who were very bloody and dejected ran away in panic.

One of them yelled and waved the sword in his hand, trying to maintain order, but it had no effect. He could only watch others flee.

"That's all, if you want to kill or behead, it's up to you." The man threw the sword in his hand to the ground, closed his eyes, and stood motionless on the road, with a look of grief and indignation on his face.

"No one will kill you."

Mo Anbai drove her horse to the man's side with a smile on her face. When she saw the man's expression, she found it quite interesting.

"You really don't want to kill me?" The man opened his eyes again and asked doubtfully.

"Who are you? Why do we want to kill you?" Mo Anbai asked doubtfully.

"Aren't you officers and soldiers?" The man realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. The group that came seemed not to be officers and soldiers.

"Are you a blood-robed thief?" Mo Anbai asked.

"Yes, I am a leader of the bloody bandits, my name is Fang Youzhou."

The man admitted it frankly and did not make any pretense.

"I heard that you had a battle with the officers and soldiers last night? It seems that it was you who stole the blood and lost. We are passing merchants, not officers and soldiers."

Mo Anbai smiled.

"That's right. If you were officers and soldiers, there wouldn't be women like you. Officers and soldiers are not allowed to take women with them into battle." Fang Youzhou nodded. He took a long breath and sat down on the ground, his eyes tired.

"That's not necessarily true. In the past, officers and soldiers might abide by the rules. Now, they can do whatever they want. They no longer follow those rules."

Mo Anbai didn't say it casually. She had seen women hidden in the army, and there was even a special place to put those women.

"Today's officers and soldiers are not strong enough to fight. How can you, the blood-robed thieves, still lose?"

Mo Anbai asked curiously.

"The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers is not strong, but it depends on who they are compared with. If compared with the blood-clothed bandits, the officers and soldiers are considered to be strong in combat effectiveness. You know, the blood-coated bandits are just a bunch of rabble, and dog meat will not make it to the banquet." Fang Youzhou smiled bitterly.

"Listening to what you are saying, you seem to have studied in school. Why did you join the Bloody Robbery?" This question was asked by Luo Xingchen, who had already rushed to his side.

"This young master, among the blood-robed thieves, is not all illiterate. I am a scholar." Fang Youzhou explained.

"You don't want to take the exam? Are you here to rebel?" Mo Anbai said.

"Passed the exam, but failed." Fang Youzhou sighed.

"Later, my father was killed by a wealthy gentry nearby. As a last resort, I went to join the Bloody Robbers."

"The blood-robed thieves have a bad reputation outside. There are indeed some scum who wear the appearance of the blood-robed thieves and burn, kill, and loot outside without doing anything for human affairs. However, most of the blood-robed thieves are poor people. Most of them are forced by the government to rebel against the people.

."

"If everyone could have enough to eat, why would there be so many people rebelling?"

"Now that you are defeated, where are you going to go next?" Mo Anbai asked.

"It was our group that retreated that was defeated. Leader Xue and the elite bandits in blood clothes have been transferred in advance. I am gathering the remaining soldiers and taking them to find Leader Xue." Fang Youzhou sat on the ground, not wanting to get up.

"Come, today I will show my kindness and give you a horse." Mo An rolled his eyes and said.

"Is this really okay?"

Fang Youzhou was overjoyed and took out the banknotes from the bag.

"I have silver, I will use the silver to buy a horse."

Fang Youzhou felt very happy. You must know that the horses on Mo Anbai's side are good at first sight. At this time, they cannot be bought with money.

"I don't want your money, just remember that you owe us this time." Mo Anbai smiled.

"Keep it in your heart and never forget it," Fang Youzhou said seriously.

"hope so!"

Later, Mo Anbai left a horse for Fang Youzhou.

Many of Luo Xingchen and his party had two horses per person, so giving Fang Youzhou a horse would not prevent them from going south.
