Compared with the beasts in the forest, Zhang Feng is more worried about horse thieves.

After all, horse thieves are human and wise.

Almost everyone in Hongye City mentioned horse thieves by gnashing their teeth. They were directly or indirectly hurt by horse thieves.

Horse thief is a profession that everyone hates, but everyone has nothing to do with horse thief.

They have a large number of people, and they are mobile, and they choose soft persimmons to start with. The former Hongye City belonged to soft persimmons.

However, Hongye City is too remote, so remote that horse thieves generally dislike it. Only when winter comes, when everyone has tightened their belts and no longer go out, will horse thieves come to this remote place to beat the autumn wind.

Zhang Feng learned from Marlow Knight that the last time Hongye City encountered a horse thief was this time last year.

At that time, the previous city lord was still in place. There were many knights and soldiers in Hongye City, and the horse thieves did not rush in directly, but the city lord of Hongye City did not dare to conflict with the horse thieves.

After all, horse thieves are desperados. Most of them are the ones who have to **** the next one. If they conflict with them, even if they are destroyed, they will not gain any benefits.

So the city lord spent money to eliminate the disaster and gave the horse thief some gold coins to save some unnecessary troubles. The horse thief could get what he wanted without effort, and he was naturally very happy, so he didn't do anything to the people in Hongye City.

But the horse thief is not a moral person. Although he does not do anything to the people in Hongye City, the people around him are unlucky, and many people have been ransacked by the horse thief.

However, because they were afraid of the City Lord Hongye, they were just robbery, and no one was killed, so the City Lord turned a blind eye.

"Then why didn't the city lord at that time drive the horse thieves away? There shouldn't be many horse thieves. There were so many knights and soldiers in Hongye City at that time, so they could definitely win!"

Zhang Feng asked Marlowe suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, although I haven't fought before, those horse thieves should not be the opponents of the Red Leaf City soldiers, but how can I say..."

Marlowe touched his head, feeling a little helpless.

"The horse thieves are far more than them. Although the horse thieves are generally not large in size, there are many horse thieves. There are many horse thieves. They may not make water in the river, but they are also connected. If the city lord of Hongye City pays him gold coins, those The horse thieves will announce that the Red Leaf City is theirs, and the other horse thieves will not come to fight the idea of ​​the Red Leaf City..."

Hearing Marlow's explanation, Zhang Feng was a little speechless. To put it bluntly, isn't this just paying the protection fee!

This horse thief has developed quite formally!

"That's why I can recognize them as horse thieves. The broken clothes on their bodies have the marks of those horse thieves before."

Zhang Feng just said, how could Marlow recognize them as horse thieves from several immature corpses, so there is such a relationship.

"So, this period of time is the time for them to collect protection money from us?"

Although he had never heard the term protection fee, Marlowe could probably understand what Zhang Feng meant, and he nodded.

"It should be, these people are likely to come to us."

"However, these people died."

Zhang Feng suddenly said in a bit of pain.

Marlowe's expression didn't change, obviously he knew what Zhang Feng meant.

"If the horse thieves found out that the person they sent to collect the money had died, they would definitely think it was us."

Caroline exclaimed in exclamation.

There were no stupid people present, and Caroline naturally thought of this.

"This... this is trouble!"

Originally, after hearing that these horse thieves could be settled with gold coins, I felt that it was a big deal to save money and eliminate disasters. He didn't want to fight the horse thief.

But this was by accident, the horse thief died, and died in the territory of Hongye City.

"Why did they come from Blackrock Forest?"

Zhang Feng was a little puzzled.

"After all, they are horse thieves, and they belong to people who can't see the light. If the king orders to destroy them, they are not opponents of the country at all, so they can only try to keep a low profile. No one knows where their old lair is, and every time they go out to loot, they will be ghosts and ghosts."

Zhang Feng nodded, so it seemed that everything about the horse thief was clear.

These horse thieves who came to Hongye City to collect protection fees came from the Blackstone Forest, but they encountered the wolves, lost to the wolves, and were destroyed by the group.

But there are not only four horse thieves, there is a team behind them. If they know that these horse thieves died here, according to their horse thieves' character, they will definitely not give up!

Hongye City, there is trouble.

Headache!

Zhang Feng sucked Hanako, feeling a little helpless.

He just wanted to do a good job in construction and make a little money. He didn't go outside to cause trouble at all, but the trouble came to the door himself.

"Conscript when you go back!"

The second conscription has to be put on the agenda. No matter what the strength of these soldiers is, at least they have to support the number, and they can bluff people.

As for these corpses, Zhang Feng helped them to bury them without the overflow of the Virgin Heart. Anyway, they were destined to be enemies, so they were left exposed.

"Let's go back."

Zhang Feng ordered everyone to leave around these corpses, but everyone was a lot more careful along the way.

Just when he was about to leave the Blackstone Forest, a feeling of peeping came again, and Zhang Feng suddenly turned his head.

"Ok?"

Except for trees and stones, nothing happened.

But Zhang Feng felt a little weird.

Quiet, too quiet.

Except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, the chirping birds disappeared.

"It seems that something is wrong!"

choke~

Marlowe also found out, he pulled out the steel knight sword he was carrying, and looked at the forest behind him with a serious face.

After waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened, but Marlowe didn't let down his guard.

"Lord City Lord, you go first~www.novelmt.com~ Marlow whispered to Zhang Feng, and then gave Caroline a wink. The knight told him intuitively that they seemed to be in trouble, and they were still in trouble. big trouble!

"good."

Zhang Feng didn't say anything about "Let's go together". In this battle, Marlow definitely has more say than him. He believes in Marlow.

Silently hugging Caroline's waist, Zhang Feng's face was a little serious, and even some inexplicable meanings flashed in his eyes.

Still a little too weak!

"Drive!"

Caroline tugged on the reins, and under the protection of several soldiers, led Zhang Feng out of the Blackrock Forest quickly. This was already the edge of the Blackrock Forest, and the group quickly disappeared.

Watching Zhang Feng leave safely, Marlow was temporarily relieved.

huh~

A gust of cold wind blew, and Marlowe shuddered without warning, his eyes narrowed.

Although he didn't see any people or beasts, Marlow felt as if there was an extremely vicious and peerless beast staring at him.

Marlow's hair stood on end with chills all over his body. He held the long sword tightly in his hand, and the few soldiers who stayed behind also held the long spear in his hand nervously.

The rain is about to come.

……

At the same time, Zhang Feng ran wildly on the horse, and soon saw the iconic adobe city wall of Hongye City.

"Whoo~ finally here—"

Suddenly, Zhang Feng felt a chill in his heart, and the feeling of being peeped reappeared!
