Chapter 177 Manager Qin

"Amitabha, I will recite the 'Nirvana Sutra' for them later. The sins here are all on me. If there are any consequences, I will bear them alone." Li Ming recited a sentence and then looked at the villagers and asked.

"But what are these bandits up to this time?"

An elderly man, who looked very old, looked up at Li Ming and said, "Today, in addition to asking us to offer food, they also told us to be vigilant and report any strangers who come to the village. But Master... you are the only stranger..."

When he mentioned the stranger, he looked at Li Ming cautiously. Seeing that Li Ming looked normal, he said, "Master, thanks to you, but... this group of horse bandits is very large. There are only a dozen people coming down the mountain each time, but there are at least a hundred people in the mountains. Master, why don't you go and convert them? That will put our minds at ease."

When he mentioned the word "salvation", he emphasized the tone, which obviously meant something else.

Li Ming thought for a moment and then said, "As the saying goes, one must eradicate all evil. Since I'm involved in this matter, I will definitely see it through to the end. Village chief, please tell me the details and I'll think about how to deal with it."

"Okay, okay, Master, please listen to me." The village chief was overjoyed and immediately talked in detail about the relevant matters regarding this group of horse bandits.

It would have been better if he hadn't heard it, but after hearing about their evil deeds, Li Ming became even angrier.

This group of horse bandits probably numbered over a hundred people. Of course, they were only horse bandits. In fact, there were at least dozens of women in the stronghold handling logistical matters.

Even so, hundreds of strong men are still a considerable force. Moreover, the terrain of Qingfeng Mountain is complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack. A large-scale encirclement and suppression is very unwise, which is why they have developed to this day.

It is also said that the three leaders in their stronghold are all highly skilled in martial arts. Sun Qian, who was just defeated by Li Ming, was only the third leader. The second and first leaders are undoubtedly more skilled in martial arts.

As for the specific information, they were not clear either. They only knew that the boss used a black stick, and the second in command rarely came down the mountain and was said to be an excellent swordsman.

After hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but frown. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles, but now it is impossible to get more information from the villagers.

Although Li Ming was very confident in his skills, he was not a reckless person. Unlike this small team of more than a dozen people, if he really wanted to break into the enemy camp alone, he naturally had to make some preparations.

Then he touched the several small bottles in his arms and thought to himself, "I didn't expect that they would come in handy so soon."

"Okay, I've understood the situation, village chief. Since they came down the mountain not to plunder supplies but to pass on news, there are probably more than one group. There must be several other teams that went to nearby villages. This is a good opportunity to defeat them one by one. Please send someone to follow me to track the horse bandits. Once I catch the bandit, I will naturally find a way to let him lead the way for me. There will be no danger. I wonder if there is anyone who is familiar with the road and is willing to go with me." Li Ming said.

Almost the moment the words fell, the eldest son of the Jiang family shouted, "I! I am willing, Master, let me go with you."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Li Ming smiled and nodded. He then pulled a horse over and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I've ridden it a few times."

Li Ming didn't say much, and said: "Just lead the way for me, don't worry about other things, let's go!"

After saying that, he jumped on the horse. The man also hurriedly got on a big horse and followed Li Ming.

Qingfeng Mountain, Jiuquwan, Sanwa Village. There were two sentries in front of the gate, torches on the wall, and a few men patrolling with weapons. It was obvious that this place was already well-established and not just a mob.

After entering the village gate, the first thing you see is a big house. Although it is in the mountains, it is well built and very grand. There is a plaque under the eaves with three big characters "Jieyi Hall" inscribed on it.

It was completely dark at this moment, but the lights were on in the hall.

"Don't worry, Manager Qin. I will definitely do everything you ask me to do. Do you still not trust the three of us brothers?"

A hearty laugh was heard. A sturdy man with a strong build and broad shoulders was sitting at the top of the hall. He was holding a bowl of wine in his hand and talking to the people sitting below him, patting his chest. The smile on his face was even a little flattering.

"Master Niu, I feel relieved with your words." The person sitting under him was the middle-aged man who appeared after Li Ming killed the two thugs of the Gao family. At this moment, he also raised the porcelain bowl beside him and drank it.

The guest on the other side was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar. He had a very calm expression and seemed not to like talking.

"Second brother, come too!" The leader of Niu Village laughed and drank it all in one gulp.

The man he called second brother nodded, picked up the bowl and drank it happily.

Then he asked casually, "I wonder why Manager Qin asked us to find someone?"

Manager Qin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's inconvenient to disclose."

"Oh?" The scholar dragged out the last syllable, finally forcing a smile as he said, "It's just that whether it's a man or a woman, young or old, there's no distinguishing feature at all, so it's a bit hard to find."

"Hehe." Manager Qin smiled again, but his eyes turned cold.

Seeing this, the Niu Village Chief quickly interrupted and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about? Since it is the order of Manager Qin, we just need to do our best to do it. Why ask so much?"

"Yeah, I said something wrong, I'll punish myself with a bowl!" He poured himself a bowl.

Seeing him like this, Manager Qin just smiled and said nothing more, but in his heart he thought, "You are just a dog we raised, and you really think you are such a big shot? When the young master succeeds, the first thing we will do is to clean you up!!!"

Speaking of the Sanwa Village in Jiuquwan, Qingfeng Mountain, it has been entrenched in this area for so many years, and now it has become a powerful force with a large scale. Naturally, it is impossible to rely solely on the geographical advantage, and it must have some secret arrangements.

In other words, they had actually been secretly subdued by Jiuliancheng a long time ago, and had done a lot for them over the years, and what they got in return was naturally a certain degree of "freedom".

In other words, they are the white gloves of the righteous. If there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do yourself, just leave them to them. After all, they control the main traffic arteries in this area, and they know who to release and who to block. Not to mention the monsters and demons in this mountain, they are all headed by their Qingfeng Mountain Sanwa Village. To be honest, when doing certain things, the role they can play is more than ten times stronger than those who go through the righteous means.

Manager Qin saw that the killer he had commissioned was not doing his job well, so he didn't care about much else in a hurry. He just checked the scene and concluded that the man was definitely a master of martial arts. Although the two Gao villains were not smart, they were really good at fighting. They were killed so easily. So after a little thought, he ran to Sanwa Village and asked them to mobilize their men to carefully check the suspicious people passing by, and it would be best not to let go of even a fly.
