Chapter 1143 Outsmarting
During the Great Heat and Lesser Heat seasons, she always had to carry snacks with her, such as peanuts, melon seeds, or a few desserts, in case she was very hungry and couldn't find anything to eat for a while.
They will never give the food on their bodies to others.
She also knew that eating so much at every meal was bad for her stomach, so she tried her best to control herself. This time, there were too many noodles in the pot, and she didn't want to waste them in the wilderness, so she ate them all in a fit of joy.
Not in control.
It was completely dark now. There were bonfires everywhere in the camp. Everyone sat in groups, talking to each other.
Zhou Guo walked around for a few times, thought about what to do next, sat by the fire for a while, and then went to sleep.
After breakfast the next day, we continued on our journey.
Wu Lazi followed her and his eyes never left her, as if they were glued to her.
After following him all the way, she finally couldn't help herself and turned around and asked, "What's so good about it? Can't you see enough?"
Wu Lazi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just never met someone like you before. You said that we are bandits, and as a woman, it is not easy for me to be the head of a family. Who would have thought that there would be someone like you in the world who is more powerful than me, who can be the head of a family and support so many people."
He shook his head and sighed, "It's really amazing."
Zhou Guo said, "Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone to hear this?"
Wu Lazi asked, "What's the matter? Hey, I heard they all call you Master, why do they call you Master instead of Young Master?"
Zhou Guo said: "Why do you have so many whys? Can't you figure this out? I wouldn't mind if you followed them and called me."
Wu Lazi quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I am a big boss, at least I am the leader of a village, how can I call someone else the master? Wouldn't that mean I am a slave? What will happen to the young and old in my village?"
Can't I also be her slave?
Zhou Guo stopped talking.
Dashu thought to himself: As the master, it is much better to recognize her as the boss now than to recognize her as the principal in the future. It will be an advantage both times.
The group walked until noon and finally arrived at the foot of the bandits' lair.
Wu Jiang pointed to a high mountain about ten miles ahead and said, "Master, the bandit's den is up there. It's still more than ten miles from here, not close."
Wu Lazi gritted his teeth and said, "This mountain has a better terrain than ours. The road up the mountain is more difficult to walk than ours, but there is a flat piece of land on the mountainside. The land is fertile and most suitable for growing crops. Unlike ours, we can't grow anything on the land.
We were the first to set our eyes on this hill, but unfortunately we were not quick enough and someone else got there first."
Seeing her gritting her teeth, Zhou Guo smiled and said, "So, your two families are enemies for life? Well, I'll give you a chance to take revenge today. You take over this mountain."
"Ah?" Wu Lazi was stunned, looked at the hilltop and said hesitantly: "You also know that I don't have many people. The total number of people on their mountain is not as large as ours, but there are more young and strong people than us. There are not many old people and children on the mountain. They are much stronger than us. How can we defeat them?"
If they could win, they wouldn't be gritting their teeth like that. They would have already come to the door and seized the territory. Why would they just stand there and watch?
Zhou Guo said: "Look at what you have accomplished. You are different now. You still have us. Look at our lineup. We are fully equipped with powerful soldiers and equipment. Can't we take down this little bandit?"
She was determined to take it down. If this mountain was full of young and strong men, it would be of great use.
At this time, she was especially grateful to Xu Xiaobei. Among the thousands of people he sent to her, half of them had healthy limbs and had not suffered many injuries, and were still able to fight.
With this group of people keeping watch in the escort agency, the newcomers didn't dare to act recklessly.
Wu Jiang said: "Master, this mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we want to capture it, we will have to think of a way."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Go and call a few leaders from our escort agency, and also call the leaders of the officers and soldiers from the government office, and we will discuss how to fight this battle."
There were more than twenty people, big and small, gathered together. With Wu Lazi, the team was quite large.
Zhou Guo pointed at the distant mountains and said, "See? That's our goal today. We are an escort agency, so we naturally don't get along with bandits. Therefore, we must not only wipe out this nest, but also make them work for us. Therefore, we can't attack by force, we can only use our wits to defeat them."
A forced attack would result in some casualties, and her own lives were precious, and they could not be wasted here.
Everyone nodded.
"Sir, since we can't go up, we can only let them come down."
"Bandits love to rob. If we pretend to be passing merchants, we're not afraid that they won't come out."
"There are so many people on the mountain. What's the point of having a dozen or twenty of them come down? It would be useful if we could find and catch a few of them."
……
A group of people talked in a circle.
Zhou Guo looked at Wu Lazi, who had been silent, and asked, "What do you think? Tell me."
Wu Lazi said: "This group of people not only like money, but also like women. The wife of their leader was robbed by him. I heard that many of them have not yet married. The daughters of good families would never be willing to marry to bandits, so there is no place to rob them these years."
Zhou Guo said: "Are they such bandits?"
They really are a group of evil bandits?
Wu Lazi said: "Most of them in the mountains are young and strong."
There aren't many women on the mountain.
Zhou Guo said: "Then we can pretend to be a group of refugees with their families, bring pots and pans, and bring food. We can also have a group of people as escorts to deliver the goods. We don't have to worry about them not coming out."
Wu Jiang said, "I have inquired about it. In recent years, few merchants have taken this route. The escort agencies also take a detour. No one has come to this route for a long time. I wonder if they will notice anything strange?"
Zhou Guo raised his lips, "As long as we have enough leverage and the benefits are great enough, even if they see something fishy, they will not let the property under their noses slip away. Those who dare not touch it, it is because the benefits are not enough."
She was carrying dozens of kilograms of gold bars and two boxes of pearls as big as longan. Wouldn't these come in handy?
She just didn't believe that with these things flashing before their eyes, the people on the mountain could remain indifferent.
If you had such great willpower, would you have come here to become a bandit?
Why are you not successful?
Wu Jiang saw the boxes that Dashu Xiaoshu and his personal soldiers had laid out, but he didn't dare to open them. "What's inside?"
Zhou Guo said: "When the time comes, just pretend to fall off the car accidentally and scatter all over the ground so that those people can see it clearly."
Their carts carrying food and luggage can also be arranged now.
Wu Lazi was really curious, "What treasure is in here?"
Zhou Guo said: "Gold."
