"Lord Long, don't you know? The exit to Yunmeng City was closed decades ago. Soldiers guard all the entrances outside the mountain. I heard that a large number of troops are stationed outside. How dare we go out?" the fat horse thief explained.
Long Ao was also shocked. No wonder it was deserted here. He was afraid that something was fishy.
"Tell me the truth, you two, and do everything from the truth. Maybe I will be kind and spare you." The murderous look in Long Ao's eyes quickly disappeared, and he changed into an approachable expression.
The two horse thieves were overjoyed and immediately explained to Long Ao the story inside and outside Xuanyin Mountain.
Things that are difficult for ordinary villagers to know, these horse thieves know in detail, especially about the Xiaoxuanyin Mountains and the outside.
It turns out that thirty years ago, the Xiaoxuanyin Mountain Range was completely connected to the outside world, and there was no dedicated guard. Therefore, there were often horse thieves who committed crimes outside, and there were also horse thieves here who came to rob homes near Yunmeng City.
In short, there was chaos at that time, and Yunmeng City simply did not have that many manpower to manage such a large area. The food output on the land between Little Xuanyin Mountain and Big Xuanyin Mountain was not high. Even if soldiers were sent to manage it, they would not be able to make ends meet.
Because these horse thieves seriously disrupted the security in the suburbs of Yunmeng City. So, thirty-five years ago, the city lord gave an order and sent 300,000 troops across Xuanyin Mountain, preparing to eradicate all the horse thieves here.
There were many horse thieves at that time, and they were defeated by the army at first. After several horse thieves groups were wiped out, the other horse thieves groups understood that they would be doomed sooner or later if this continued, so they established a horse thieves alliance to resist the city lord's army together.
Relying on the complex terrain here, the combined power of the horse thieves was quite powerful. They fought several battles with the army, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
This situation lasted for five years. In order to eliminate these horse thieves, the city lord lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers. However, he still failed to completely capture this area. In the end, he withdrew his troops and completely gave up control here.
As a result, the Horse Thieves Alliance was disbanded, and horse thieves gangs, large and small, began fighting for countless years in order to compete for territory.
However, there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside Xiaoxuanyin Mountain. Since the territory controlled by these horse thieves cannot be recaptured, the horse thieves here cannot be allowed to invade Yunmeng City.
This place has been sealed off for thirty years. In the past thirty years, few people have crossed Xiaoxuanyin Mountain. Horse thieves have only occasionally entered Xiaoxuanyin Mountain, but few people have come out alive.
"Well, very good, I am very satisfied with your answer. By the way, if you give me all your wealth, I may spare your life." Long Ao smiled, getting so much useful information, it is better than having nothing at all. It is better to know that it is better to fall into the siege of the army outside.
When the two saw Long Ao asking for property, they gradually relaxed. One of them took two hostages while the other rummaged for the money.
"Hehe! Not bad." Looking at the hundred taels of silver in front of him, Long Ao said with approval, but unknowingly took out a pistol.
The fat man smiled and started to pull up his pants, because he was too nervous and had been naked all the time. Only then did he realize that he was shy.
"Ah! No! There's a hidden weapon!" Another horse thief saw the pistol in Long Ao's hand at a glance and exclaimed.
"It's too late." There was a gunshot, and the horse thief dropped the knife in his hand in pain, looking at Long Ao with an expression on his face, obviously frightened.
The fat horse thief wanted to escape, but at this moment, the bull who had been sitting upright suddenly came and killed him.
Without the hostage, the two horse thieves didn't even have the slightest chance to escape, so they naturally understood how powerful the other party was.
"Ah!" The fat horse thief also screamed in pain, and the hand holding the knife was actually chopped off by the bull.
Another horse thief was shot in the arm and no longer dared to resist. He knelt on the ground and shouted at Long Ao for mercy.
"You two girls are frightened. Get dressed and go out!" Long Ao said with a smile.
The two women, who were still in shock, escaped from death. After thanking them, they immediately fled as fast as they could.
"Isn't it great for you guys! I'll destroy that thing of yours, let's see if you still dare to mess around." Long Ao raised his hand and fired two shots.
With two miserable screams, the two horse thieves squatted down and covered the injured area, excruciating pain.
Castration, castration with bullets, the two horse thieves did not faint, their willpower was already very strong.
"You are despicable and untrustworthy!" the fat horse thief said angrily.
