Section 1: Violence is also beauty
With a hint of surprise, the Turkic soldiers began to laugh, pointing and gesturing towards the mountain, their faces filled with disdain
It is said that quietly accumulating wealth is the right path
His face features sharp lines, a prominent nose, and thick eyebrows, with hair carelessly tied back in a haphazard manner. Yet, even so, his profile exudes a striking intensity that is both captivating and unsettling.
Whether it is a dinosaur or a beautiful woman, I only need to have one. Fat Huai is quite content and happy.
With a loud bang of "bang," followed by a swish, eleven arrows had already been shot out.
The Turkic soldiers were not weaker than Xiao Buyi and his companions, yet they lost; they lost due to underestimating the enemy and lack of preparation
Xiao Buyi came back to his senses from his reverie, squinting into the distance for a while. His expression changed suddenly, "It is the Turks."
The current robbery strategy is well articulated in military tactics, which advocates for dividing forces into two routes, employing both surprise attacks and encirclement
"Fifteen Turkic soldiers, and one woman." As Xiao Buyi was counting the Turkic soldiers while Mo Feng was gazing at the woman, he had already taken note of their numbers. "Mo Feng, you take ten brothers to flank them from behind. Pang Huai, stick to the old strategy and take two people to throw stones."
He never expected that there would come a day when he would also engage in robbery
Everyone knows that the Turks are exceptionally fierce. When they come to the border, they are always there to take advantage, burning, killing, and plundering, and then they leave after a successful raid. In this regard, they are of the same ilk as bandits like Xiao Buyi.
Because the Turkic soldiers are merely targets, he has great confidence in his subordinates, knowing that even if they miss, they would never shoot at women
It appears that it would take at least the time of a tea session to rush down from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, yet these individuals managed to accomplish it in only half the time
"Young master, how about you?" Mo Feng couldn't help but ask
Thus, he became the young leader of the bandit group, with an old man named Xiao Dapeng. With dozens of brothers, they plotted daily to rob the wealthy and make a living.
Fat Huai feels that he has read little, yet the young master seems to have never read at all. How is it that he can articulate so many exquisite and extraordinary statements
After suffering a serious illness, the young master transformed completely. He wandered around the mountain stronghold and, within a few days, invented the catapult, a tool essential for robbery and ambush. The old village chief lamented that robbing on the grasslands was too exhausting, while the young master, after just a few days of galloping on horseback, discovered this vital trade route. From now on, all he needed to do was wait for opportunities.
From the moment of drawing the bow to the instant of shooting the arrow, the actions of the eleven individuals were surprisingly uniform
Touching the bow and arrow in his hand, Xiao Buyi was not unfamiliar with them, as horseback riding and archery had always been essential skills for him. However, the thought of killing someone as easily as cutting grass still left him somewhat bewildered
The principle he adheres to is that if something is to be done, it must be done as NO. 1.
However, they suddenly discovered in terror that their opponent had lost the target on horseback, and each of their arrows had been shot into empty space
The previous Xiao Buyi was merely a frivolous and carefree wanderer, but now, whenever anyone mentions Xiao Buyi, they will give a thumbs up and say, "That is a real man, capable and accomplished, the son of a big boss, with a bright future"
Xiao Buyi is a bandit from a nearby stronghold, currently leading around twenty subordinates, lying in ambush on the mountainside, waiting for a fat sheep to come to their door
Noticing the admiring gazes of the bandits, Xiao Buyi felt a mix of pleasure and a hint of melancholy
The bandits were somewhat agitated, and even the warhorses were a bit restless
Nan Bo Wang is certainly also an invention of the young master, indicating that it is the first in meaning
Ma took advantage of the mountainous terrain, charging forward like a tidal wave towards the Turkic soldiers, who were now less than ten paces away, yet the Turkic troops had already suffered heavy casualties!
He was originally an equestrian, a profession that is quite obscure yet very noble. Winning a horse race could be said to bring him a fortune daily. He loves horses, perhaps even more than he loves his partner
After Pang Huai threw the large stone, he saw his achievement and excitedly jumped up on the mountainside, extending two fingers to form a V shape, which was also the young master's invention. He told his subordinates that this was a gesture of victory. Although victory had not yet been achieved, Pang Huai already sensed that this time would not end in failure
As he thought of this, Xiao Buyi felt an indescribable emotion, gazing at the distant green grass and the white clouds on the horizon, a hint of a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth
Touching the catapult beside him was as gentle as touching a woman's body, and looking at the young master not far ahead, Fat Huai felt as if he were gazing at his first love.
Of course, this NO. 1 being learned by Fat Huai becomes your uncle's difficult uncle, very difficult indeed. He is too lazy to explain further; Fat Huai understands without explanation, but once he explains, Fat Huai only becomes more confused
However, since one is to undertake a task, it must be done well. In the three hundred sixty trades, each field produces its own outstanding talents
The Turkic soldiers began to shout loudly, finally taking these bandits seriously. However, at this point, they still showed no fear. They were strong and tough, having grown up on horseback; how could these people be compared!
In addition to his fondness for horses, he has quite a few other interests, and he particularly enjoys the boundless imagination.
The less capable the head of the household is, the more talented the others are, comparable to the *illustrated* books. When Pang Huai thought of this, he had already calmed down, as if this outing was not a robbery, but merely an act of seduction.
"It seems there is also a woman." The Turks spurred their horses, already not far from here. Mo Feng had keen eyesight and could see a woman sitting upright on a horse in the center of the cavalry, her hands bound behind her back. Although her features were not clear, one could easily deduce, even with the heel of a foot, that she was a beauty; even a dinosaur left by the roadside would not be picked up.
Xiao Buyi turned his body and had already emerged from beneath the horse's belly, once again mounting the horse. He pointed his long bow and gazed at the woman. Although there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes, he spoke without hesitation in a deep voice: "From now on, you are my woman"
By the time they realized what was happening, the horse had already approached. From beneath the horse's belly, several arrows shot out with a whoosh, and five Turkic soldiers fell from their horses, clutching their throats, unable to close their eyes in death
An array of eleven feathered arrows rose before Xiao Buyi and the others, soaring towards the Turkic soldiers like a swarm of locusts
The horse lay quietly beside him, calm like its master. Not only was the horse next to Xiao Buyi like this, but also the twenty or so subordinates and their twenty or so warhorses were the same; this is the achievement of Xiao Buyi
The crowd quickly split into two groups; they were indeed more familiar with the terrain here than with their own women. Xiao Buyi led his horse for a while, then reached the mountain path, mounted swiftly and efficiently.
He is well acquainted with the physical nature of horses, arguably more so than that of women. Therefore, he feels a deep affection and fondness for the warhorse lying beside him, showing the same sincerity towards horses as he does towards friends
Although they did not know what dinosaurs were, the young master was quite clever and very good at explanations. When asked if they had seen a porcupine, he compared it to that. Everyone then suddenly understood, all admiring that this young master was exceptionally talented. His imaginative thinking truly made the second-in-command, who was known for his cunning in the village, feel inferior.
The mountain bandits all say that the fat sheep now run faster than the thin horses, making the chase exhausting. The young leader has broken the traditional and outdated practice of banditry by opting for a more strategic approach. Instead of studying women, he has begun to study military tactics in this advantageous terrain.
This does not indicate that the Turkic soldiers are weak; it merely suggests that Xiao Buyi's tactical application is appropriate. The catapult serves only to disrupt the enemy's psychology. In warfare, speed is of utmost importance, and striking unexpectedly is always the principle of military strategy.
Carelessly, a few arrows were shot, but the Turkic soldiers quickly discovered that the strength of this group of mountain bandits' horses was unparalleled.
Although the horse charged forward, the bandits had already vanished
The Turkic soldiers shouted repeatedly, already showing signs of fear. The ferocity and actions of these bandits are so consistent that they might even surpass the official troops!
The crowd nearly fell from the mountainside, yet they already understood the intentions of the young master; what he sought to accomplish could no longer be stopped by anyone
The gaze of awe and reverence fell upon the young master's profile, and Pang Huai felt once again that the young master was exceptionally handsome
As they stood ready, drawing their bows to gauge the distance to their opponents, the sky suddenly darkened. Then, the Turkic soldiers heard a few whooshing sounds, and before two of them could even let out a scream, they were crushed into a pulp, along with their horses, and smashed to the ground.
The second-in-command, upon hearing the young master's poetic composition, was immediately astonished and declared that the young master possessed the talent of a top scholar, deeming it a waste to be a mountain bandit.
Shaodangjia stated that violence is also a form of beauty, and they deeply agree with this perspective
Whether it is Xiao Buyi or the minions behind him, they all feel a sense of accomplishment, for it is precisely for this harmony that they have practiced diligently for a full half month
"There are fat sheep nearby," said someone next to me
Here, losing means death
Although I do not understand which esteemed elder Nan Bo is, and how he barks like a dog, the things that Shao Dangjia has mentioned are all firmly etched in their hearts. Fat Huai also hopes that one day he can become the Nan Bo spoken of by Shao Dangjia, barking and making a name for himself.
At this moment, the Turkic soldiers had already galloped into the narrow valley. Suddenly, alert, they looked up towards the mountain and quickly spotted the whereabouts of more than ten individuals, including Xiao Buyi.
However, in this era and at this location, the law and reason are disregarded; often, the one with the stronger fist holds the truth.
He treats the horses as he would treat friends or lovers, and in return, the horses reciprocate this sentiment. Although he has only been a bandit for a few months, his skill in horse taming has earned him the respect of all the brothers in the stronghold, which brings great joy to his father.
"Pang Huai, do you think there are more dinosaurs this time, or more beauties?" Beside him, Mo Feng was drooling, looking lecherous.
By the time they realized something was amiss, Xiao Buyi and the others had already rushed down the mountain
From the Turkic people to the Sui Dynasty, or from the Sui Dynasty to the Turkic people, this is an important trade route
With a wave of his arm, Xiao Buyi had already charged ahead to attack.
Xiao Buyi is certainly not Xiao Buyi; he is almost on the verge of forgetting his own name. His name has already been marked with a full stop a thousand years later.
Xiao Buyi gazed down the mountain, quietly awaiting the arrival of the fat sheep. In the terminology of bandits, "fat sheep" refers to merchants.
He summarized the pros and cons of robbery and developed some simple and easy-to-use equipment, such as catapults. He prefers to take shortcuts in his work, but the premise of taking shortcuts is that one must be clever; otherwise, one can only end up being foolish.
It is evident that they believe these bandits are so impoverished that they do not recognize their identities. Here, it has always been the case that they are the ones who rob others; how could it be reasonable for others to rob them
The Turkic soldiers were thrown into disarray by a large stone that fell from the sky. It was only after the enemy had loosed two rounds of arrows, resulting in the deaths of ten men, that they finally shot their first round of arrows
This is truly a profession with little prospect
Mo Feng gave a wry smile, realizing that this young master had now gone mad. Robbery was not the goal; rather, the true intention was to derive the greatest pleasure from the act of robbery itself
This place is not too far from the border of the Great Sui Dynasty, with treacherous terrain. Between the two mountains lies a narrow passage, which is indeed an excellent location for an ambush
Fat Huai felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Xiao Buyi's command, as he touched the catapult beside him, "No problem"
Certainly, it is not his person that has arrived, but rather his soul. This is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain and quite marvelous.
Xiao Buyi lazily said: "What is there to ask? Of course, it’s the old rule. I will bring a few brothers to give them a good beating; this is more satisfying than anything else"
Xiao Buyi released an arrow without hesitation, swiftly nocking another arrow and shooting again
Eleven arrows killed five Turkic soldiers, and in the second round, three more were killed. Two were struck dead by stones. In the blink of an eye, only five Turkic soldiers remained.
The Turkic soldiers finally fell into disarray. Xiao Buyi, mounted on his horse, drew an arrow and shouted loudly, "Loose the arrows!"
As a bandit, he had no choice in the matter. Upon arriving here, he became the young master of this place, and he had no means to resist. After crossing over into the body of Xiao Buyi, he felt somewhat bewildered and flustered. His father, Xiao Dapeng, worried and fretted for him, even inviting a ghost-catching Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits on his behalf. If he no longer wished to drink that concoction made of mud, incense ash, and yellow wine, he had no choice but to accept that he was indeed Xiao, Bu, Yi.
Fat Huai is a bandit, currently crouching on the hillside like a duck, straining his neck to look down the mountain, feeling somewhat nervous inside
The second round was as orderly as the first, yet it was still accompanied by a loud 'bang' followed by the 'whoosh' of the shot.
For example, the bright moonlight before the bed, a pair of shoes on the ground. Yesterday, I drank excessively, and upon waking, I still feel like vomiting
The chieftain has grown old and can no longer lead the team in person, so this glorious yet arduous task has fallen upon Xiao Buyi.
They can also hide in the bellies of horses, but they truly cannot imagine that these horse bandits are even more skilled at it than they are
"Why is there none?" Xiao Buyi gazed into the distance and said, "They still have more than ten warhorses; we need this as well"
Conducting transactions along this route is evidently unofficial, and engaging in prohibited trades can even lead to the death penalty. However, due to the enormous profits involved, there are not a few merchants who take the risk.
But they have nothing, what are we going to seize? Mo Feng felt somewhat apprehensive; the Turks were fierce, and they were not afraid of them, as they too were not raised in a sheltered environment. However, engaging in a venture that offers no profit is truly unnecessary
However, Xiao Buyi clearly did not acknowledge this kinship. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Everyone, be more spirited and get ready to do a good job."
He once fantasized about his career, but he never imagined that he would actually become involved with bandits
He appears to be so desperate that he will rob anyone, even the fierce Turks are not spared from his attacks
The term "dinosaur" was invented by a minor figure, suggesting that it means "ugly woman," similar to the character Dongshi.
Behind him followed about ten people, clearly accustomed to the actions of the young leader. They mounted their horses in unison and silently charged down the mountain.
That person had a very melancholic expression, but Xiao Buyi knew that his name was Yang Dezhi. Yang Dezhi had exceptional hearing; he could hear the pheasants jumping several miles away even when lying on the ground. While others often failed to notice, he had already picked up on it.
He once fantasized about obtaining the Moonlight Treasure Box to embark on a journey through time. However, he never dreamed that during an outdoor adventure in search of the legendary汗血宝马, he would arrive in the Sui Dynasty without relying on the Moonlight Treasure Box.
All the Turkic soldiers surged forward, while the women bound to the horses fell behind. It was precisely for this reason that Xiao Buyi dared to shoot arrows with confidence and boldness
The excitement in Fat Huai's heart was evident, ever since he followed the young master to commit robbery, it had been as easy as catching a turtle in a jar, and he had never failed.
The poetry created by Shaodangjia is truly straightforward, very direct, and rhymes well, effectively expressing the long-standing sorrow and desolation of these people in the shanzhai community
Although I don't think being a bandit is difficult for Nan Bowang, such a handsome bandit is definitely the most distinguished among bandits
