[Today's first update is here~~~~ I have been collecting it very much recently~~~ Brothers, please click on this book, please collect it~~~]

Snake White immediately brought a few other women in white to perform a leisurely dance for everyone. At this time, the audience under the high platform had time to recover their nervousness. If the performance of the Snake continued, the audience below would probably be scared of a heart attack.

It has to be admitted that the temple fair in the ancient town is indeed eye-opening. No wonder there are so many people around the high platform. These two twin girls are so attractive. Every movement and quiet complement each other. Not to mention the appearance of the two, just the skillful acrobatics of them can be amazing. Looking at it, Zhang Zhun was a little fascinated.

Zhang Zhun was actually not satisfied with this trip to Xiahe Village. Although he had retrieved some of the money and grain, he was unable to control the strategic point of Xiahe Village. He felt a little unhappy. Now he had a rare opportunity to relax. At the same time, Zhang Zhun appreciated it with relish and temporarily put aside those troubles.

Not long afterwards, Hong Niang appeared again and performed a solo dance on the rope for everyone. This time, her movements were not as thrilling as before, but more graceful than the movements just now. She was already extremely beautiful, with a delicate figure, and a first-class beauty. Her body was so flexible, as if boneless, and all kinds of difficult dance work were displayed on the wire rope one by one. It was really dazzling and imaginative.

Responding to their wonderful performances was filled with thunderous applause.

When giving rewards, the audience was naturally quite generous. All kinds of copper coins, silver, and even purses and sachets fell on the platform. Zhang Zhun also threw about five taels of silver into the platform from afar, expressing his appreciation.

The red lady took the pallet and put away all the rewarded coins and silver. When she found the five taels of silver, she was obviously a little surprised and looked at the audience quickly. However, she did not see Zhang Zhun. Because Zhang Zhun and others were too far away from the high platform. Moreover, there were multiple torches on the high platform, and the light was very bright. The light of the crowd below was much dim. Looking from the light to the dark, the visibility was very poor.

After putting away all the rewards, the Hongniang sister bowed and thanked everyone.

There were waves of applause in the crowd again.

Zhang Zhun also applauded quietly.

"The horse thief is here!"

"The horse thief is here"

"The horse thief is here!"

Suddenly, an explosion came, followed by countless screams.

Zhang Zhun reacted quickly with conditioned reflex.

Horse thief!

Horse thief!?

Where did the horse thief come from?

The horse thief from Wulian Mountain was killed?

In the instinct of fighting, the soldiers of the guard immediately formed the square formation.

This kind of phalanx was trained to deal with the attacks of cavalry. There were fifteen people in each direction, and no matter which direction the enemy attacked, they would be attacked. The prototype of this phalanx was of course from the European powers. Four officers, Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong, Yang Qianqiang and Yin Fengyi, each guarding one side and surrounding Zhang Zhun in the middle. Of course, Dugu Lie was also surrounded in the middle.

Liu Jixiang, who was in charge of guarding the outside world, quickly came to Zhang Zhun and whispered: "Sir, it's the horse thief from Wulian Mountain that has arrived, and there are about 120 to 30 people."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't rush to shoot, let's see the situation clearly."

Looking around, Zhang Zhun ordered the soldiers to retreat and all retreat into the darkness. Because there were some dead corners in the torch lighting in the ancient town, some places were particularly bright and some places were particularly dark. The place where Zhang Zhun and others were standing now was a particularly dark existence. If outsiders were not adapted to the dark light, it would be difficult to find their existence. The gray military uniform of the guard team was too easy to conceal in such an environment.

The Matchmaker sisters on the high platform hurriedly put away the money and then went to the backstage. However, there were many things on the high platform that needed to be cleaned, and the two of them and the others did not have enough time. Without these items, their next performance would not be smoothly carried out. Therefore, although the sound of horse thieves' hooves had already been heard and the horse thieves were about to appear, they still had to pack up all kinds of things before they could leave.

"Dadada..."

The sound of horse hooves came from afar.

"The horse thief is here, everyone run away!"

"The horse thief from Wulian Mountain is here again! Everyone, run!"

"Wife, the horse thief is here! Go home quickly and apply ash on your face!"

The sound of horse hooves became clearer and more shocking, and the crowds under the high platform scattered.

Their movements of dispersing were really fast, as if they had received professional training. At this speed, even if the thief arrived, they would not be able to catch up with them even if the flood came. People living in the ancient town really have some skills! In such a place, it seems that there should be several characters, but why have you never heard of it?

"Dadada..."

The sound of horse hooves appeared in the north of the ancient town.

From the erratic light, you can see that there were two horse thieves. They seemed to have entered their back garden, leisurely, holding a spear and studding at the street intersection in the north. Judging from their actions, they obviously had no guard against each other. Because of the light, they did not even find the existence of Zhang Zhun and others.

Liu Jixiang and others raised the Hu Ben gun and aimed at the two horse thieves. As long as they gently pulled the trigger, the two horse thieves would fall from the horse's back. The distance between the muzzle and the target was actually less than forty feet. At such a distance, their determination to snipe the target was more than 80%. But in the end, everyone lowered the Hu Ben gun again. It was not time to shoot.

Shortly afterwards, a large team of horse thieves appeared.

Zhang Zhun couldn't help frowning and then shook his head.

Unexpectedly.

The so-called horse thieves are actually a few horses that lead the way, and the others are infantry, with a population of about one hundred. Rather than saying that these people are horse thieves, it is better to say that these people are a combination of bandits, criminals, and gangsters. Their weapons are also messy, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, bows and arrows, sticks, muskets, and even strange weapons such as axes, maces, meteor hammers, crescent shovels. The only valuable one is probably a few war horses.

Nowadays, war horses are very scarce resources, especially in coastal areas. Even if you have money, you can't buy them. Most of the war horses of the Ming army came from Mongolia, and only a small number were produced by themselves. All war horses in Shandong were in the hands of officers and soldiers, and the number should not be large. If there were really more than 100 cavalrymen, Zhang Zhun would be excited. This was a good harvest! If the guards could have a horse team, their mobility would increase several times.

"Prepare for the fight!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

Some scattered horse thieves came up from behind and surpassed their horse riding companions. They waved their weapons and dispersed the brave people in the ancient town who were trying to watch the fun, and rushed in from the north of the town with great swagger. Looking at their movements, they looked completely familiar with the road, and they knew that they had arrived at the ancient town many times.

The leader of the horse thief is about thirty years old. He is not tall and has a hunchback, and has a dark face, which looks a bit like a smaller version of Zhang Fei. He must be Sirius, the leader of the horse thief in Wulian Mountain. He is wearing a big red cloak, a dark red felt hat, and a strong bow and arrow carrying a strong bow. If he hadn't known in advance that this person was the leader of the horse thief in Wulian Mountain and nicknamed Sirius, Zhang Zhun would have thought that Li Zicheng appeared in Shandong at first glance. He deeply suspected that this guy was imitating Li Zicheng's outfit.

When Dugu Lie saw Sirius appear, his body trembled, obviously too angry. It was the horse thief leader in front of him who ordered his sister to snatch him to the mountain and forced him to join the horse thief team. He also instigated the second leader to kill his sister, and finally ordered the execution of Ling Chi with his sword. Is it to be tolerated, but who is intolerable? Even if he only had one last breath, Dugu Lie wanted to seek revenge on Sirius!

Zhang Zhun pressed Dugu Lie's shoulder hard and signaled him not to be excited.

Dugu Lie took a deep breath before slowly calming down his emotions.

Sirius didn't see this scene in the dark at all. He rode on a red horse, standing in the middle of the street at the north side, and shouted: "All the heroes and wives in the ancient town listened! Our heroes and heroes of Wulian Mountain are not outsiders to you! We have only two purposes for coming here today! The first one is to find someone, this person is called Dugu Lie! He killed our second leader! He is very sinful! We go to heaven and earth, and we must find him out! So, if any friend accidentally sees it, or accidentally takes it in his own yard, please hand him over! Let's not blame him!"

When they heard Sirius' name asking for someone, the crowd of onlookers was not so panicked. Since the horse thieves were not here to rob and attack, why are they panicked? The people in the ancient town were very nervous. So, the person who had been hiding appeared quietly again. Everyone whispered to each other, discussing who the Dugu Lie was.

"So it's time to find enemies!"

"Who is Dugu Lie?"

"That boy is pretty good! He actually killed their second in command!"

"Well, I mean, this is a bit reckless."

...

There were all kinds of discussions, and there was no fear that others would hear them at all.

Sirius obviously didn't care about these whispers, and he continued to shout loudly: "Dugu Lie, I know you are hiding in the ancient town! No matter where you are hiding, I will find you! I will use 9,999 knives to cut off every piece of meat on your body to pay tribute to my brother! I only cut less than 300 knives before, and there are still 9,600 knives left! Come out obediently! Otherwise, when I find you, there are even more powerful tricks waiting for you!"
