Chapter 115 Horse Thief Hu Ban

The battle at Gaoyangting is almost over.

Zhou Cang saw that everyone else had stopped, but he was the only one who had not yet resolved the battle, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

He and Wang Meng have different ambitions!

Wang Meng has gone through the world, growing up from an ordinary hunter to a commander of the Yellow Turban Army; and then from a commander to an ordinary hunter. To a certain extent, Wang Meng has completed a reincarnation. After being mediocre, he has also experienced

He has experienced glory, fallen to the bottom, and then returned to mediocrity. He no longer has the idea of ​​​​competing with others, and only hopes that Wang Mai will not repeat the suffering he has experienced in the future.

Therefore, Wang Meng chose the Tiger Army.

One is that he has a chance to succeed, and the other is that he also has a backer.

Six hundred stone salary was enough for him to support his family. Moreover, in the Huben Army, Wang Meng did not need to be in battle and rely on military exploits to gain promotion.

Zhou Cang is different, he is still passionate.

Although he also experienced miserable failures and even almost lost his life.

But he still hopes to fight on the battlefield and rely on his martial arts to win fame. Therefore, he is unwilling to join the Huben Army, but chooses to stay in the Cao family. Although Zhou Cangmang is very thoughtful, speaking of it, he is very careful about his thoughts.

The Cao family has put in a lot of effort.

Deng Ji killed Cheng Yao in Runan, and then served as a member of the Huben army, and had close contacts with Guo Jia.

Cao Ji studied his skills diligently and became extremely skilled in making swords. Sooner or later, he would be reused. But what made Zhou Cang determined was the fact that Cao Peng, Cao Zhen and others worshiped Jinlan in prison, and achieved the name of Xiaobayi...

People are not simple, and Cao Peng's future is equally bright. Zhou Cang felt that he might have more opportunities if he stayed in Cao Mansion. As expected, Cao Ji became the supervisor, and Deng Ji also became the head of the county. This made

Zhou Cang is more confident! He knows that as long as he follows the footsteps of the Cao family, he will surely prosper in the future.

But now, even a small horse thief can't be solved.

The people around him had already solved the battle, even Cao Peng had killed two of them. How could this make Zhou Cang feel so embarrassed?

"Xiahou, don't interfere."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xia Houlan approaching him holding a silver gun worth two feet.

Zhou Cang suddenly became anxious and quickly stopped Xia Houlan's actions with a tiger's roar.

In fact, Zhou Cang was unlucky. There were so many horse thieves, but he chose the one with the best skills. The opponent's martial arts was slightly inferior to Zhou Cang's, but the difference was not much. And judging from the situation before the battle, this

Horse thieves are battle-hardened and experienced.

Zhou Cang is angry!

His body suddenly stepped back, but the moment he stepped back, his other foot took a big step forward.

The moment you stamp your feet, exert force on your waist and hips.

After all, he is a master of Yijin level. He retreats and advances calmly and leisurely.

There was a broad-backed machete in his palm, and the knife went with him, slashing out in a very strange way. The opponent was caught off guard and was almost hit by Zhou Cang. In addition, he was the only one left. Although his fists and feet were not messy, he was still a little panicked. This

When you panic, your flaws are exposed.

Zhou Cang has been waiting for this moment for a long time!

He shook his Dantian and suddenly let out a loud roar.

The broad-backed machete struck out with thunderous force, completely covering the horse thief. The horse thief wanted to retreat and dodge, but he didn't expect Xia Houlan to be standing behind him. The moment Zhou Cang drew the knife, he took a small step.

.Don't underestimate this small step, it will make the horse thief confused.

After half a year of practice, Xia Houlan calmed down and his martial arts improved greatly.

Especially watching Cao Peng and others practice martial arts, and later when Cao Peng, Wang Mai and others explained the principles of fist and kick, Xia Houlan was also listening. When it comes to martial arts, ten Cao Peng may not be as good as Tong Yuan's stick.

Fingers. But when it comes to explaining the principles of fists and kicks, Cao Peng is ten times better than Tong Yuan. He often teaches Wang Mai and Deng Fan in an easy-to-understand way. Xia Houlan listened on the side and also gained a lot. In half a year,

, even Xia Houlan himself could not have imagined that he would reach the Yijin level without knowing it.

His strength increased greatly and his martial arts skills skyrocketed.

A silver gun worth two feet seems to have connected with his thoughts.

Therefore, one small step he took was enough to make the horse thief tremble with fear.

Facing two masters of muscle-changing at the same time, the horse thief will still feel fear no matter how courageous he is.

His mind was in a state of confusion, and suddenly there were many flaws. It turned out that there was nothing surprising about Zhou Cang's sword, and it was all based on his strong momentum.

Under normal circumstances, the horse thief could easily dodge.

But at this time...

There was only a clang sound, followed by a scream from the horse thief, who was cut in half by Zhou Cang's diagonal knife.

In an instant, there was silence in Gaoyang Pavilion. All the horse thieves closed their mouths. No matter how painful they were, they did not dare to make any sound at this moment.

These guys are obviously not ordinary passing merchants.

The white-haired old man walked up to the young horse thief, leaning on a bamboo stick.

"You are a naughty son. You usually just steal chickens and dogs, but now you dare to steal horses... I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death, you are an unfilial son!"

The bamboo stick hit the young man head and face.

Cao Peng stood aside and did not stop him.

At this time, Deng Ji and Pu Yangkai also came out under the protection of Wang Mai and Deng Fan.

Upon seeing this situation, the two of them immediately cried out and regretted that they had missed a good opportunity to practice their skills.

The old man beat the young man until his nose was black and his face was swollen, then he dropped his bamboo stick, staggered to Deng Ji and others, and knelt down with a plop.

"Sir, please forgive me for this kid. He just, he just doesn't know the seriousness and was blinded by the bad guys."

"Old man, please get up quickly."

Deng Ji quickly asked Wang Mai to help the old man.

This old man is the chief of Gaoyang Pavilion. Although he is old, he knows it very well.

People like Deng Ji are not ordinary businessmen, but court officials. In other words, their horses are called official horses. According to Han law, those who steal official horses will be tattooed, and then they will be forced to do hard labor on the border. The old man can see this too.

It turned out that Deng Ji was the leader of this gang, so he knelt down and cried bitterly.

"this……"

Deng Ji hesitated.

He has a criminal name and is inevitably a bit old-fashioned in his temperament.

It's just that this old man has gray hair and is over sixty years old, but he still works in this small Gaoyang Pavilion.

Logically speaking, since he is the head of the pavilion, he should also have handymen under him. But looking at the dilapidated appearance of Gaoyang Pavilion, he probably does all the work for him alone.

"Deng Haixi, wait!"

Cao Peng suddenly stood up and stopped him in a deep voice.

The old man looked at Cao Peng with tears in his eyes.

He didn't understand why this handsome young man wanted to stop him?

"Afu, what's wrong?"

"Stealing an official's horse is a serious crime.

Deng Haixi is about to take office. Is it possible to ignore Han law?"

You are going to be an official, so you should know that this law is strict. If you cannot do this yourself, how can you govern the place and convince the people?

"You are in charge of the law, and you should know that law enforcement must be strict and violations must be punished. As the saying goes, poor people must be hateful. Today, you are soft-hearted and let this beast go. Do you know how much harm this beast will cause? You

Being soft-hearted for a moment will definitely bring endless troubles to the people of Gaoyangting."

Law enforcement must be strict and violations must be prosecuted!

Deng Ji's heart moved and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

A soft smile appeared on Pu Yangkai's face, but he did not speak from the beginning to the end.

"My son has never done anything harmful to nature... Young Master, you are a great master, so please show your respect."

"Have you never done anything harmful to nature?" Cao Peng suddenly sneered, "A man who can gather more than ten people to follow him and steal horses, dare to say that he has never done anything harmful to nature? Let's not talk about others. I dare to say that damn ghost,

Bi killed many people and committed many crimes during his lifetime."

"ah?"

The director of Gaoyang Pavilion couldn't help being shocked.

Zhou Cang said to Deng Ji: "Young Master, this guy is very skilled, and he can advance and retreat in the right way... He is ruthless in his moves, and there is no sloppiness in the slightest. If he hadn't killed someone before, this would never be the case. If we hadn't gained the upper hand today, he wouldn't have been able to do it.

He may not be defeated so quickly. Normally, if I want to win, I need at least thirty moves. What the young master said is true, this guy is definitely not an ordinary person."

At this time, Deng Ji couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"Old man, you get up first. I'll ask you more about this matter."
