"Hmph, since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back."

Huang Zhong said to Zhuge Tian, ​​"I haven't been here tonight either, but the Jinfan bandits are different from Liao Hua's bandits."

"Liao Hua and his men came as they pleased, and we can easily get away with it, but these Jinfan bandits are well-known throughout Jingzhou. If the higher-ups knew they had joined Wolong Village, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop them."

"Old Huang, what do you mean? Are you saying that I, Liao Yuanjian, can't compare to Gan Xingba?"

Liao Hua was unhappy. After all, he was a notorious bandit in the past. How could he not be as good as Gan Ning?

"You're a newbie. Don't you have any idea whether you can compare or not?"

Old man Huang left a word and rode back to Deng County.

"Did he just scold me? He called me a whore? Didn't he scold me?"

Liao Hua shouted angrily: "Old man Huang, just wait for me!"

Zhuge Tian ignored him. What Old Man Huang said made a lot of sense.

Last time, the higher-ups asked Huang Zhong to suppress the bandits, and he was able to get away with it.

However, the Jinfan bandits are notorious in Jingzhou, and it would be inappropriate if they were all left in Wolong Village.

"After they've healed, you can have your people go back to where they came from, and you can stay with one or two hundred people."

Wolong Village can’t accommodate so many people now, and one or two hundred more people is the limit.

Zhuge Tian sprayed some medicine on Gan Ning's wound, causing him to twitch his mouth slightly in pain.

"Let them continue to be pirates?"

"Well... you should just behave yourself. As long as you don't go too far, Jingzhou won't necessarily do anything to you."

If the Jingzhou navy really wanted to deal with these 800 pirates, they might be able to capture them.

It just comes at a price.

Given the current situation in the world, everyone knows the importance of military force.

Therefore, as long as the Jinfan bandits do not go too far, Liu Biao will not really have to wipe them out.

"It's okay. Let your people train more. When the food is ripe here, we'll have to rely on them to transport it out for sale."

Huguang is a land of fish and rice, with abundant grain production, so the grain cannot be sold at a high price.

When the time comes, the price of selling the grain from Wolong Village nearby and selling it outside will be completely different.

"Okay, then I'll stay in Wolong Village with my injuries and change into your clothes. Wolong Village doesn't interact with outsiders, so it won't be easy for us to be discovered."

"Why did you come to Wolong Village?" Zhuge Tian asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, someone reported that there is a strange object in Wolong Village that can swallow and spit out river water, so..." Gan Ning smiled awkwardly.

"A strange object?" Zhuge Tian and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and knew who it was.

After checking the sky, Zhuge Tian said to Zhuge Liang and the others, "Let the uninjured leave by boat, and settle the injured in the village. I'm going to go out for a while."

"Brother..." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder how important Zhong Zhengping is to Cai Mao..."

"I understand." Zhuge Tian nodded. What Zhuge Liang meant was that he didn't know how important Zhong Zhengping was to Cai Mao. If Cai Mao valued him, then if he killed him like this, Cai Mao would probably investigate.

There will be some troubles then.

Seeing that Zhuge Tian understood what he meant, Zhuge Liang felt relieved.

When it comes to martial arts strength, Zhuge Tian knows that he may not be ranked among the three kingdoms.

But when it comes to sneaking around late at night, he doesn't think anyone in the Three Kingdoms period can be better than him.

Arriving at Cai Mao's farm, he easily bypassed a few lazy sentries and arrived at the main house.

After a brief search, they found the room of Mr. Zhong Zhengping.

Zhuge Tian used a dagger to pry open the window and jumped in.

Zhong Zhengping didn't wake up until noon the next day.

I frowned and twitched the corners of my mouth, and I always felt that the skin on my face was a little tight.

"Come here, help me wash up!"

Zhong Zhengping was sitting on the edge of the bed. A maid came in with a basin of water. As soon as she saw Zhong Zhengping's appearance, she screamed and sat down on the ground. The basin fell to the side and spilled water all over the floor.

"What are you doing so crazy so early in the morning?" Zhong Zhengping glared at her and was about to order someone to drag the ungrateful maid out when his guards also ran over.

"Sir, your face! Your face!"

Several people pointed at Zhong Zhengping's face in fear and shouted in trembling voices.

Zhong Zhengping touched his face and took a bronze mirror from the side, and vaguely saw that there was a bloody handprint on each of his cheeks.

He was so frightened that he dropped the mirror in his hand.

"What…who…who did this?"

As he spoke, his pants between his legs were actually a little wet.

The others looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

Zhong Zhengping had a huge tantrum and smashed a lot of things, but he had no other options.

He could only ask the guards to guard his bedroom strictly at night.

Now he doesn't know whether this thing was done by a human or a ghost.

If it were a human, someone could take away his head by leaving this bloody handprint on his face.

And if it is a ghost or god, it would be even more terrifying. Is it something that human power can contend with?

Zhong Zhengping was nervous and suspicious all day long.

At night, he asked the guards to light many candles in the room and then told them to guard it well.

Then, after being tense all day, he finally felt sleepy and fell asleep.

"Do you think this was done by a human, young master?"

Only after he fell asleep did the guards dare to discuss in low voices.

"Who knows? But the doors and windows of the young master's room were all closed yesterday, and we didn't see anyone coming when we were on guard outside..."

"You mean..."

The guard who was chatting here shuddered slightly and crossed his arms.

By the second half of the night, the guards were feeling drowsy and hadn't noticed a figure on the beam opposite.

"Swish! Whoosh!" After two sounds, the two guards felt their arms slightly numb, as if they were bitten by some small insect.

Then I felt sleepy and fell asleep immediately.

There were four guards around them but they didn't notice at all.

Soon, these guards were injected with anesthetic needles by Zhuge Tian and began to sleep soundly. Zhuge Tian sneaked into Zhong Zhengping's house just like yesterday.

After thinking about it, he gave Zhong Zhengping an injection as well, then sprayed red paint on Zhong Zhengping's hand, and then slapped his face with his hand.

After doing all this, Zhuge Tian cleaned up the traces of his presence and retreated carefully.

The next day, Cai Mao Manor was naturally in chaos again.

This time, everyone judged that Master Zhong must have been haunted by ghosts and gods.

The main problem was that the guards didn’t dare to say that they had fallen asleep last night the next day.

They all swore and cursed that they didn't find anything unusual.

"Let's go back to Wan County! Let's go back to Wan County!"

Zhong Zhengping shouted in horror as he touched the bloody handprint on his face that could not be washed off.
