Chapter 223: The cottage was taken as a greeting gift
But it was too easy for these people to leave like this. I thought about how my family lived well in the past. But because these bandits were fierce, they needed a person with strong martial arts skills to suppress them. They were torn apart after so many years of being a family.
Now that I can leave, I have to give them some gift in return.
"Brother Fu, we can't leave like this. My wife and children have been rescued, so I have nothing to worry about. It's time to use the preparations I made this year."
After that, he pulled out a box from under the bed and opened it to reveal several jars filled with medicine powder. The quantity was quite large.
"This is the drug I have accumulated over the past few years. I bought the recipe from an old man who drove up the mountains and made it secretly. The drug is dozens of times stronger than those bought on the market. It is more than enough to knock out everyone in this mountain village. Tonight, the wind is from the southeast and it is still so strong. If you stand in the upwind direction, you can take down everyone in the village. You can go down a little into the well as a double insurance, especially tonight, when most people are fighting fires. The drug can be even more powerful."
Fu Yi took the medicine, smelled it and immediately felt a little dizzy. He quickly put it away and adjusted his breathing for a while before he recovered.
With such a powerful medicine, it’s no wonder that this scarface guy is confident that he can take down the entire village.
Maybe getting rid of this group of bandits would help us get more evidence? Scarface's suggestion might be worth a try.
Scarface saw that Fu Yi was silent, so he pointed to a cave with two torches in the distance and said, "Inside that cave is a batch of food that I recently exchanged. There are also gold, silver and treasures, plus the bandits in this village, as a thank you gift to Jiang Shoujiang for saving my wife and children."
"Are you sure you're still in there? Have you been moved out in the past few days?" Fu asked again and again.
"No, they locked me up yesterday afternoon. I went to see him this morning, but it's impossible to move him all of a sudden."
"If that's the case, then we can't act rashly. We need to call for help. Even if we can confuse the bandits here, the three of us can't take the stuff away. You wait here for an hour. I'll go and leave a message. I'll act when I come back."
"Brother Fu, we'll wait for your news here." Scarface nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Fu Yi rushed to the grove as fast as he could and found someone inside. Just when he was about to take action, he heard Fu Er's nasty voice: "Boss Fu, do you want to beat up even your own brothers?"
"Why are you here?"
"Master was worried, so you asked us to follow you out."
"That's perfect. How many of you are here? There are still a lot of food and jewels in the mountain stronghold. You can arrange one person to go back and report the news, and the rest of you can follow me to the mountain stronghold."
"Yes, there are 40 of us in total. The young master said that they will all obey your orders, big brother." Everyone acted quickly.
One of them mounted his horse, turned his horse around, and rode away quickly.
With so many people, Fu Yi was no longer worried. He could not move the things, but he had no problem guarding the bandits. Sir, I will send people over as soon as I receive the letter. By then, we will have the manpower to escort the bandits and the grain.
With these 39 people, we returned to the village again and came to Scarface's room.
Scarface and Chen Wu were still in the room, waiting anxiously. The houses in the village were all made of wood, so the fire was quite big, but after so much time had passed, the fire gradually became smaller.
The people outside didn't notice the changes in Scarface. When they heard Scarface coughing from time to time to cover up his coughing, no one would suspect that there was something wrong.
When they heard that Fu Yi had brought people back, they immediately stood up and prepared to assist Fu Yi.
Fu Yiba divided the powder in Scarface's hand into dozens of portions, and dozens of people started to act.
They were like tigers descending from the mountains. In places with many people, they stood at the upwind side and sprinkled powder. In places with few people, they knocked people unconscious and tied them up. I don’t know how long it took. All the bandits outside the village were knocked to the ground by them.
Scarface brought Fu to the second in command of the stronghold, Dai Erye, who had been holding him captive. Over the years, Scarface was in charge of the stronghold, but in reality, it was Dai Erye who was in charge. No one even knew his specific name.
Dai Erye was the first person to discover that something was wrong in the village. Just as he was about to take people to check, he ran into Fu Yi and Scarface.
When enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy. Scarface didn't say anything, he drew his sword and chopped directly.
A man beside Dai Erye drew his sword to stop Scarface. Others also surrounded him, ready to take down Scarface and Fu Yi in one fell swoop.
But who is Fu Yi? He is one of the best masters in the Duke of Bo's Mansion.
Dai Erye became more and more frightened as he fought, so he turned around and led two people towards the cave where the things were hidden, hoping to take the opportunity to slip away.
Fu Yi dealt with the few people fighting around him, and slapped Dai Erye to the ground with his sword.
Scarface quickly found some ropes and tied up all the people who had just been knocked unconscious. He was going to give them all to Jiangchuan as a gift, in return for Jiangchuan's help in saving his wife and children.
Add to that the gold, silver, treasures and food in the cave, and this gift is full of sincerity.
