Why kill someone?

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both stopped and looked blankly in the distance. The excitement and luck that had just emerged disappeared, and their bodies were soaked in inexplicable chill.

No one ran out next time, and all the officials and cavalrymen entered the village. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun could no longer see anything, but the inability to see this was even more terrifying than seeing it.

"Let's go to the top to observe again." Zhu Da whispered. He was shocked after he said that, because there was no slight anger in his voice, and he was dull and desperate. Zhou Qingyun's reaction was not much better. He nodded silently, and the two turned around and walked back to the heights.

The official cavalry entered the village first, and then someone ran out, and then was chased and killed. Although they had never seen each other, the logic was easy to figure out. When the official cavalry came over so loudly, the people in the village could not be unprepared. Moreover, the large group of Mongolian cavalry left less than half an hour. It is very likely that the official cavalry came over and used some means to let the people in the village come out. However, the villagers found something wrong and fled in a hurry, and were chased to silence them.

I can figure out the order of things happening, but I can't figure out the reasons. Why do officers and soldiers kill people? "Kill good and take credit for me." Although the Mongolians' heads are very valuable, Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo have both told me that the officials who inspected the heads in Datong Bian Town are very smart. The Mongolians' heads are very different from those of the Han people, from the black and white scalp caused by hairstyle, the lack of pain in teeth caused by eating food, and whether the legs are straight or not, which are different from those of horse riding and walking.

Under these differences, even the Mongols who lived in the Ming Dynasty could not be mistaken for being mistakenly recognized. The flaws of killing good and taking credit are too great, and the risks cannot be controlled at all. Moreover, since more than a hundred years, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia has not been very eye-catching. I heard that the Ming Dynasty's official army has been "great achievements", and can be more than a hundred or even a title of marquis. Under such an order of magnitude, based on common sense, they have killed more than a dozen enemies and mixed in with one or two people to do their achievements. At present, do the hundreds of people in Baibao Village have to kill all the hundreds of people to take credit?

This is simply unreasonable, but as soon as the Mongolians left, the back-feeding army came. There was also strangeness in it. What is the reason for it?

Zhu Da couldn't figure it out even though he thought about it. Looking at the village a few miles away, it was impossible for him to figure it out.

The two people standing on the hillside stood for a long time and sat down, staring blankly at the village at the foot of the mountain. They didn't care whether the sun was rising or exposed to the sun, and they didn't care whether the mosquito bites. They just watched blankly, but no one ran out again, and the officials never came out of the village.

After a few hours, the sun sets in the west, and the government troops in the village finally moved. Like the Mongolian horse team in front, the government troops also left with bags of all sizes, but their bags were much less than those of the Mongolians, and the government troops with bags were walking in another direction, while the others were heading southwest along the river.

"Are the government army following the Tartars?" Zhou Qingyun expressed his judgment with questions. At this time, when he mentioned the government army, his tone was full of resentment as he said about the Mongolians.

"What are the officials and soldiers doing with the Tartars? Did they follow behind the butt and pick up what others had left over?" Zhu Da said in a muffled voice. There were too many details that were not understood here. If the officials and soldiers were not equipped too well, it would be difficult for the Mongolians to pretend to be. He would think that the group of officials and cavalrymen came from behind were Mongols, otherwise the actions would be too unreasonable.

The cavalry at the foot of the mountain had already left, but I could see clearly from a high point that there were five cavalry parked outside the village, which means there were five official cavalrymen in the village.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the official cavalry gradually moved away along the river. Zhu Da stood up and Zhou Qingyun turned to look at him. At this moment, Zhou Qingyun was a little confused.

"Let's go back and prepare and go to the village to check it out in the evening." Zhu Da said in a muffled voice, and Zhou Qingyun hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the salt cave hut, Qin Qin, with a nervous look on his face, greeted the girl. The girl had been here all the time. She could only listen to her companions' descriptions. Qin Qin was also an imaginative person, and she couldn't help but feel frightened. When the person came back, she immediately wanted to know what was happening outside.

Before the girl could speak, Zhu Da said in a solemn voice: "Don't ask anything, stay in the cottage these few days, do you understand?"

Qin Qin snuffed her mouth aggrievedly. After seeing Zhou Qingyun's expressionless face, she immediately nodded with red eyes. Although Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun usually treat her as their peers, the girl also knew that when Zhu Da was stern, she was even more severe than her father. What's more, at this time, Qin Qin felt that Zhu Da was terrible, even more terrifying than the kidnapper who kidnapped her back then.

Seeing the girl leaving obediently, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun began to prepare for what to prepare for the night attack and night battle. Both of them were already familiar with each other. Zhou Qingyun put down his longbow and replaced it with the horn bow used by the Mongolians. The arrows also changed. Zhu Da's equipment was the same, but he had an extra spear thrower and five three-foot-long wooden spears.

The spear caster is not a very complicated machine, it is just a flat wooden board with short raised thorns at one end and a bracket with a tenon-and-collar inlay at the other end.

The creation of this spear caster was not taught by Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo, but the little knowledge learned in more than 20 years of life. Of course, there is only the opportunity to project wooden targets and grass targets. In the past few years, I made one for fun. However, Yuan Biao did not have a high opinion of this. He said that the countryside was hard to use as a self-defense, and it could be used for sneak attacks during battles, which was not as fast as other people's bows and arrows.

The wooden spear thrown out with the spear thrower is just because it has enough weight, and the killing is enough at a short distance, and its penetration is not bad. Moreover, compared with bows and arrows, Zhu Da has a correct head on the spear thrower, which is much easier to master than bows and arrows.

The wooden spears were soaked in dirty things and were baked with fire and dried hard. Before leaving this time, they re-treated the fire to avoid getting damp and soft.

The more things come, the less panicked it is. Zhu Da prepared dinner very seriously. He and Zhou Qingyun didn’t eat much, but they both brought pancakes when they set off. They were full and were prone to being in poor spirits. When hungry, they would not be able to keep up with their physical strength. They could only eat in a small amount on the road, so that they would be in the best condition.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun experienced anger, despair and great joy and sorrow on this day. At this time, the two of them calmed down, prepared in an orderly manner, and ate as usual, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing, so Qin Qin looked around there, and couldn't eat it.

When the two of them set off, Qin Qin finally couldn't help crying and said in a panic: "You must come back."

Zhu Da, who had already led his horse out, turned around and touched Qin Qin's head, and said gently: "Go back to sleep, and you'll see us after a night of sleep."

"Will you come back?"

"You'll definitely come back here."

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun watched Qin Qin go to the hidden place to sleep, and then covered it outside with their own hands. Then they left the cabin. There was still a bright sunset in the night sky. With such light, the mountain road was not too difficult to walk. Zhu Da and the other rode their horses out.

When they were about to leave the mountain pass, they stopped. With such visibility, they could not rashly ride out of the mountain. Even if the other party had only five riders staying in the village, it was not comparable to the front. However, if they left the mountain pass and went to the village, the road would be much easier to walk, so it would be appropriate to treat this place as a relay point.

After dismounting, the two fed the horses again. They ate a little of their own food and rechecked their weapons and equipment. When they were about to fight, they could not neglect any details.

The sunset gradually faded, and the stars began to fill the sky. The moonlight tonight was very bright, but it was not enough to clear away all the darkness. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun knew that it was about to set off. Just as they were about to turn over, Zhu Da said in a deep voice: "After waiting, follow the old rules. You are thirty steps behind me. I will make the right move with them. This time there is one thing to be clear. If I am seriously injured or can't move, don't worry about me. Go back to find Qin Qin and remember to send her to my adoptive father."

Zhou Qingyun turned over the horse, and the two rode forward silently for a while. Then he sneered and said, "You said you would survive and take revenge, why are you going to die again now?"

"I didn't say go to die, I'm just preparing for the worst." Zhu Da replied coldly, but he knew that Zhou Qingyun was right. At this moment, there was a fire burning in his heart, and he wanted to kill someone.

The five horses stopped outside Baibao Village. The roads and spaces in the village were too narrow, and no one who knew how to do would park their mounts in the village. Besides, there was no need to worry about bandits at the moment.

About two miles away from Baibao Village, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun got off the horse, tied the mount to a small tree, and put a bridle on the mount. They had already fed enough horse feed before, and the mount would be very quiet within a few hours.

"If I have anything, don't follow me. Remember to hand over Qin Qin to Mr. Qin." This time, Zhou Qingyun did not refute, but just solemnly agreed.

There seemed to be a sound in the village, and the light could be seen from afar. It turned out that the earth encirclement was not much use, and the door was wide open. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not crawl forward as before. In such a field covered by night, as long as they were not directly exposed to the lights, they just walked forward slowly.

The sound coming from the air became clearer and clearer, which was the cry of the woman and the laughter of the man. Zhu Da could hear Zhou Qingyun taking deep breaths beside him, as if he was trying to endure himself.

Zhu Da was very angry, but he was strangely aware that he was very calm. Zhu Da did not turn his head, but just said in a deep voice: "Thirty steps behind me, remember my advice."
