Chapter 47 Black Wind Village (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"Bandits kill without blinking an eye. Even if you have martial arts skills, two fists cannot beat four hands. How can you defeat them?"

The thin boss saw that the young man had a sword on his waist and the woman did not take the bandits from the Black Wind Village outside the door seriously at all. He was worried that the two of them were ignorant of the world and would show off their strength, which would bring trouble to his own shop.

"Please go to the backyard and take shelter. I will do my best to help you."

Zhang Yu stood up and said, "Thank you very much, boss."

The two men lifted the curtain and stepped into the backyard, and they heard the bandits' shouting coming from outside.

"Where's Wang Laosan? Why don't you come out and lead the horse for me? Is that dead woman dead?"

"Come on, gentlemen."

Wang Laosan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced a smile, and walked out the door.

Eight people stood in front of the eaves. The leader was a bald man riding a horse with a fierce look on his face. The rest of the men were carrying large and small packages on their backs. They were all in high spirits. There were also four women with their hands tied with ropes. They were frightened and trembling like quails on the snow.

These bandits had obviously just finished looting, and the blood on their knives was not yet dry. I wonder which village has been unlucky again.

Wang Laosan smiled and went forward to take the reins, but was whipped on the head instead. Blood marks instantly appeared on his face. He was used to it and did not dare to cry out in pain. He stood beside the horse's head with his head lowered, apologizing.

"Why are you dawdling? Don't you welcome our brothers?" Song Chang asked with a smile.

Wang Laosan quickly looked up at Song Chang, his face full of smiles, tears and blood, looking extremely funny.

"How could that be? I am so happy that Chief Song has come to our store."

Song Chang jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the shop owner, and said with a smile: "Really? I thought you were entertaining other distinguished guests? You look down on us brothers."

Wang Laosan patted his chest and said, "Chief Song is the most distinguished guest in our shop. Even if the county magistrate comes, he has to stand in the back row."

"I hope you mean what you say!"

Song Chang smiled and lifted the door curtain. A group of six people rushed in, but left two bandits outside the door to guard the horses and the woman.

He looked around the store and saw that one of the tables had no dishes or chopsticks, but traces of wine and water. He gave a wink and immediately his henchmen came out and dragged Wang Laosan into the store like a chicken.

Song Chang sat on a long bench, touched his bald head, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, where are the customers? Please come out quickly, and don't disturb your business for our brothers."

Wang Laosan smiled and said, "To reply to Chief Song, there were two guests who left a long time ago."

Song Chang sneered, "The man is gone, but the horse is still there?"

Wang Laosan replied, "I heard that he was going to Qiqu Creek. It's inconvenient to ride a horse, so he left it in the inn temporarily."

Song Chang laughed and said, "Wang Laosan, you are not honest! Brothers, search for me!"

The bandits rushed into the backyard, kicking boxes and slamming cabinets as they searched, but they didn't find any fat sheep that could ride a good horse, so they pulled out Wang Laosan's wife, a mute woman, from the firewood pile.

A lackey reported: "Brother Song, we found a lot of cured beef, smoked goose, white flour cakes, and three large pots of rice in the kitchen."

Song Chang stared at the mute woman who still had some looks, and said with a smile, "Wang Laosan, who are you going to treat these to?"

Wang Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it is prepared... to entertain Chief Song."

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Song Chang pulled the mute woman into his arms. The woman struggled hard, sobbing and unable to utter a complete sentence. She looked at her husband with tears in her eyes.

"Captain Song, please let her go. She is just a mute." Wang Laosan fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, begging bitterly.

"Let her go? I'll let her go right now."

Song Chang smiled and stretched out his magic hand, tearing off the mute woman's clothes, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin. The bandits began to make a fuss, demanding that Brother Song kill the woman on the spot. She looked at Wang Laosan in despair, shaking her head desperately.

At this moment, several screams suddenly came from outside.

Song Chang's face changed slightly. He pushed the woman away, pulled out the iron knife, and rushed out the door.

The tall woman pulled the fire tongs out of his chest, the bandit fell down, and two red flowers bloomed on the snow.

The fighting power of these bandits is much weaker than that of the Dragon Scale Society and the Wild Wolf Gang. They are only slightly stronger than ordinary people. They wave their swords around recklessly without any system or tactics.

Next to the woman who killed someone with the fire tongs stood a swordsman in black robe. When he saw Song Chang coming out, he smiled grimly.

Song Chang's hand holding the knife kept shaking, he knew he had met a tough opponent.

"I am Song Chang from Black Wind Village. May I ask which hero you are? Are you here to make fun of me?"

"No kidding!" Zhang Yu walked up to the six Black Wind Village bandits.

"Put down your weapons!"

Song Chang asked in a trembling voice: "If you put down your weapons, can you survive?"

"uncertain.."

Song Chang gritted his teeth and said, "Then...then why should I just sit there and wait for death?"

Out of the dignity of a professional bandit leader, he drew his iron knife and rushed forward. The result was of course no surprise. The woman waved the fire tongs and smashed the skulls of five bandits in a row, leaving only Song Chang.

The four women knelt on the snow, feeling sad and happy at the same time when they saw the villain who killed their father, husband and son being punished.

In the store.

Wang Laosan hugged the mute woman and sobbed quietly. The man who killed him in Black Wind Village had died, and he could no longer run the hotel he had maintained with countless grievances. He could only pack up his belongings and leave his hometown.

Song Chang knelt in front of the table, and compared with his previous ferocity, he seemed to have changed his face: "I am willing to do anything, just to stay alive!"

Zhang Yu nodded: "We won't kill you, we'll just ask you a few questions."

Driven by a glimmer of hope to survive, Song Chang spilled the beans about his own village.

The Black Wind Village is located in Yunwu Mountain, 30 miles east of Bailuo County. It was originally a group of tenants who failed in their rent rebellion. Later, they grew stronger and gathered 200 followers, including more than 50 old thieves, whose status was higher than that of ordinary followers.

The village chief Cao Long, nicknamed "Mountain Centipede", wields a solid iron fork weighing 120 kilograms. Ordinary seven or eight people cannot get close to him. He is quite famous in the Yunwu Mountain area.

The eight leaders were often ordered to lead their teams down the mountain to plunder property, men and women. Their merits and punishments were based on the amount of money they took. The government was unable to encircle and suppress them, so the wealthy families gathered together to protect themselves, and only the common people suffered.

Zhao Xia was puzzled. Her Xuanhua axe was a typical heavy weapon, weighing only about 60 kilograms, so she asked, "A 120-kilogram steel fork? Where does Cao Long come from?"

Zhang Yu was also a little surprised. At the late Dan Jin martial arts realm, lifting a hundred pounds was a piece of cake, but using it as a weapon was difficult to do.

Weapons must be light, agile, and appropriate. Trying to use a pony to pull a cart is like playing with your own life.

Song Chang still had awe in Cao Long, with a look of shock in his eyes: "The village chief was born as a blacksmith, and he is very skilled in martial arts. I have seen him lift a stone block weighing hundreds of pounds with one hand and throw it over his head. It was amazing!"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown and asked, "How is the defense of Black Wind Village?"

"The fifty old brothers who are directly under Cao Long rarely leave the village. The others also take turns to go down the mountain to forage for grass and valleys. There are at least a hundred guards. There are two wooden towers beside the village gate, with a total of ten archers, all of whom are old brothers who were hunters or deserters. The leader is called Chen Wu, who is quite good at shooting and rarely goes down the mountain."

Zhang Yu thought about it, and since there was nothing else to ask, he said, "Go away."

"Thank you, good man, for sparing my life. Thank you, good man, for sparing my life." Song Chang kowtowed hurriedly to express his gratitude. Before he looked up, he felt his body shaken, followed by a sharp pain.

Zhao Xia swung out the fire tongs, smashing Song Chang's left and right shoulder blades, and then kicked him from behind and broke one of his legs.

Song Chang fell to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "You... go back on your word!"

Zhang Yu threw Song Chang's knife in front of Wang Laosan with a clang: "I promise not to kill him. Whether he lives or dies is up to you two."

Wang Laosan was still holding his wife in a daze.

Upon hearing this, Song Chang immediately moved his body, used his only remaining good leg to crawl towards the door, and crawled out through a corner of the door curtain.

"what!"

Wang Laosan yelled, picked up the knife, and rushed out, only to see that Song Chang was already dead, with blood staining the snow red. The four young women who were abducted by the bandits were covered in blood, and they chopped at Song Chang one after another, and they didn't know how many times they chopped, and the blades were all curled.

"kill!"

He walked over with red eyes, raised his knife and slashed, and the bandit leader's head was separated from his neck. The four women then dropped their weapons and collapsed to the ground as if a spell had been lifted.

The two men walked out of the door and looked at the three horses at the trough, drinking water and eating grass together.

Zhao Xia said with some concern: "Stone pillars weighing several hundred kilograms, sir, so Cao Long is likely to be a master of the Qi Hai realm?"

Zhang Yu looked at Song Chang, who died with his eyes wide open, and shook his head, saying, "A master of the Qi Hai realm can establish a sect in the martial arts world. How could he stoop to being a bandit leader in a mountain stronghold?"

Zhao Xia asked, "What does your Excellency mean?"

"I will go to Yunwu Mountain to investigate myself."
