The forest in Fenghuang Village is lush, and at night, this place is dark.Perhaps, only a little starlight can be seen on the road, so this road is gray, like a beach in the night.As for other places, they seemed to be shrouded in layers of black mist.These black fogs can be forests, bamboo forests, or uninhabited grass, but there is no difference at night.That night, there was a moment of difference, because Xue Song's bamboo building caught fire.As fuel, the bamboo building was very dry, and its branches were scattered in the air, so it was burned up within ten minutes; then only a wooden frame remained, shining red charcoal fire in the night sky.Before it was extinguished, the flames turned the whole village red; then the whole village suddenly sank into darkness again.The old whore was so excited by the light of the fire that she lit a paper lantern in front of her door and raised it high to welcome the assassins.When the assassins arrived, about half of their faces were swollen, and besides that, their expressions were not very relaxed.This made the old woman ask: Killed?The other party replied: What a fart, almost stung us all to death!She asked again: Where is Xue Song?The other party replied: Who knows.Who knew Xue Song.Who knows who is Xue Song.The old woman said: I paid the money and told you to kill Xue Song.The other party said: Then we were also stung.These words are very unreasonable; although the assassins have lost the battle, they still have the qualifications to say these words because of their numbers.

The old woman pursed her mouth, looking like a catfish, and was about to chatter for a while, but found that the other party was a large group of people, all of whom were holding knives and sticks, and none of them were kind people, ready to turn against her at any time ;So he changed his attitude and asked them where Xue Song was in a low voice.Some people say that they seem to have seen them go under a tree.So she said that she would pay another share of the money and ask them to find Xue Song and kill him.So they discussed it.The result of the discussion was to reject this suggestion, because the stockade is too big to be searched in a year.So they turned and left.By the way, in order not to attract people's attention, these people are all dressed in Hmong costumes: their hair is loose, their bodies are naked, and they carry long knives.When they turned away, in the dim light, the old woman saw that there were several men with nice buttocks.For these buttocks, she felt a little nostalgia in her heart.But those men just walked away.If it weren't for the mercenaries living in the village, they would have gone away.

Now we are going to talk about something called loyalty, and everyone has a different understanding of it.When the assassins moved about in the stockade and caused the dogs to bark, the mercenaries got up and peered down the road from the darkness under the eaves of their houses.After the assassins passed by, they joined forces in threes, threes, fives, and followed furtively behind them with weapons. However, in order to avoid the assassins seeing and causing misunderstandings, these guys walked cautiously in the ditch by the roadside.As mentioned earlier, when Xue Song was besieged by the assassins, he once shouted "Come here", and the soldiers heard it.They came out to see what was going on, and they all took weapons in their hands, just in case; so no one went to rescue Xue Song.Instead, expect him to be killed by the assassin.The red thread set fire, and the wasp stung the assassin away. They all saw it, but Shan didn't say a word.Xue Song and the others are not afraid, but they don't want to provoke the red line.Then these assassins went to the middle of the village to find the old prostitute, and they followed behind without saying a word.When these assassins were about to leave, they crawled out of the shallow ditch on the side of the road and blocked the road, showing the loyalty of mercenaries.This kind of loyalty always surprises people.

As mentioned earlier, Xue Song was shocked by the loyalty of the mercenaries.When he went up the mountain to fight the Mianzhai, he was followed by dozens of soldiers. He felt that there were too many, which made him feel embarrassed.Now this kind of loyalty surprised the old prostitute again. She thought she could ignore the mercenaries when planning to assassinate Xue Song, but now she felt that she was wrong.Of course, the assassins were the most surprised. The mercenaries came in a dense crowd. There were always hundreds of them, and they held bright knives in their hands.Xue Song is not here, if he were here, he would have jumped out and shouted: Why did you come here?Oh, wrong.Just come.If this was the case, Xue Song would have to adapt to the tragic atmosphere immediately; because these mercenaries who stood up were not necessarily on his side.All in all, the assassins were very scared when they saw how many people there were, and wanted to find another way to go.There are many roads in this village, there are roads for pedestrians, roads for cattle, and roads for piggies.No matter which way they went, they always found that they were stopped by mercenaries in the end.It seems that there are not only a hundred or so mercenaries in this village, but tens of thousands of mercenaries, covering the whole place.

In the end, the assassins also discovered the fact that the mercenaries knew the place better than they did.So, a man (he is the leader of the assassins) stood up from the group of assassins, and cautiously asked the mercenaries blocking the way: "Okay, buddies."What are you going to do?The other party said nothing.He had no choice but to continue to say: I know you guys know each other very well... As soon as he uttered this sentence, he was immediately cut off by the other party: It's good to know this.Needless to say anything else.In this way, they blocked the foreign assassins and did not let them go.As for what they are going to do, no one can know.Fortunately, this night is not over yet, there are still stars in the sky.
