Chapter 18: Midnight Gunshot

  Hu Fei slightly turned his head, and the three scarred men beside and behind him all had a posture as if they were facing a great enemy, apparently these bearded men also did not want to be captured and interrogated by the puppet army.

  "Take advantage of the situation while it's still unstable, let's go! Lao San will lead the way in front, take the small road, and we'll leave the city to return to the inn!" Hu Fei whispered a sentence, and everyone nodded.

  Scar Three had often gone in and out of Panshan County, and even committed crimes several times within the county seat. This time entering the city was the route he led, and when leaving the city, Hu Fei casually sent Scar Three to the front again. And this habitual thief surprisingly didn't complain at all, like a model worker, running to the front to lead the way.

  Outside the gate, hundreds of gamblers blocked the view of the regular army. A few people slipped out of the casino and walked quickly along the wall, planning to take advantage of the darkness to drill into the alley and mix out of the city from the city gate.

  "Halt! Where are you going? Get over there and assemble!"

  A group of people walked along the wall root for less than twenty steps before being stopped by someone. Under the lamp light in front, there were two pseudo-soldiers holding rifles!

  "Boss, don't shout, don't shout." Scarface Three had seen more things and immediately put on a smiling face when he saw the fake army blocking the road in front of him. "Two bosses have worked hard, this is just a little hardship allowance, not enough to show respect. The two of you can go drink a pot of hot wine after work to relieve your fatigue." As he spoke, he took out two banknotes from his waist and handed them over.

  "Haha, didn't expect you to be so generous!" A fake soldier chuckled and took the two banknotes. Another fake soldier came over, and after whispering a few words with his comrade, one of them suddenly shouted: "You guys, hand over all your money! You're causing trouble by gathering to gamble, and we'll confiscate all your betting funds!" These two fake soldiers were dissatisfied with the little money they got, and actually wanted to extort all the money from Hu Fei and his friends!

  "Alright, alright, don't be in a hurry, I'll get the money right away." Scarface Three and Old Sun Six exchanged glances with each other. Scarface Three rummaged through his pocket with his left hand while secretly making gestures to Old Sun Six.

  "Officer, officer, my old mother is bedridden with rheumatism at home. Can you please be kind and leave some money for her medical treatment?" Behind the three scars, Sun Laoliu also held a handful of colorful banknotes, his face full of pitiful expressions.

  Son Lao Liu's mother? This guy just said this morning that his mother died in childbirth, and the one lying in bed with a cold leg is a ghost? Hu Fei looked at Son Lao Liu who was talking nonsense and suddenly felt a very absurd feeling. Would he have to mix with such people all the time from now on?

  Two fake soldiers couldn't resist the temptation of money and unknowingly found themselves face to face with two bearded men. As a result, Scarface Three and Old Six each covered the mouths of their respective fake soldiers and gave them a good beating, leaving them with bruised noses and swollen faces before they passed out.

  Although these people are not very good at doing things, the spirit of unity and mutual assistance among the beards is still commendable. When Scarface and the three of them beat up the puppet soldiers, their companions quickly came up to help. A few people beat them up together, and the two puppet soldiers almost didn't suffer much before they fainted.

  The battle was over in a very short time, from the fake army shouting for them to stop until they were knocked unconscious, not even two minutes had passed. After quickly dispatching their opponents, the group immediately left this den of iniquity. Tonight's Panshan is absolutely not a good place, it's better to leave early! Several people rushed through the alleys and lanes straight to the city gate.

  "Bang! Bang!" The city gate was already in sight, but suddenly gunshots rang out from behind! Oh no, those two fake soldiers must have been discovered! Everyone's eyes were fixed on the city gate, and a group of people looked at each other in shock.

  All the knives and guns are stored in the inn outside the city, and the bearded man is not much stronger than a group of farmers without any weapons. Forcing his way through the city gate guarded by armed fake soldiers is simply looking for death!

  They looked at each other and found that no one had a good idea, so all the Hu brothers' eyes finally focused on Hu Fei. Just now in the casino, Hu Fei's luck was seen by Ling San and Sun Lao Liu. The other Hu brothers arrived late, although they didn't see the whole process, but from the gamblers' frantic shouts, they could guess what had happened. Since this young man's luck was good enough to win money from Ling San, it should be no problem to get out of the city gate, right?

  Hu Fei was originally planning to follow the three of them out of the city, but just as they were about to reach the city gate, Hu suddenly stopped moving. Not only did he not move, but several pairs of eyes also turned towards him at the same time!

  "Why aren't you leaving? Aren't we supposed to leave the city?" The whistling and shouting in the city grew louder, and it seemed that even the sound of the fake army's footsteps could be heard clearly. Hu Fei was anxious in his heart, and the two sentences he asked were urgent and rapid.

  "Huh, of course I want to get out of the city, but we don't have any weapons, and forcing our way out like this probably won't work." Scar Three was being unusually honest for once, and his one sentence clearly pointed out their weakness. No weapons meant they couldn't break through the city gate!

  "What are you still doing at the city gate? Why don't you find a place to hide and wait for the storm to pass before leaving the city?" As Hu Fei asked this, he felt like he was talking to a preschool child. Such a simple question, and yet the man in front of him couldn't even think of it. How did they usually rob and murder people? Were their previous victims all brain-dead patients?

  "Xiao Gu Shan's daughter is in the county town of Pan Mountain, we have no place to go." At this time, scar-faced San was like an honest farmer, Hu Fei asked him what he said, without any concealment.

  "No lookout? Hu Fei glared at the several people nodding in unison, his mustache twitching with anger. "Can't hide without a lookout? Can't you just find some big household to hide in? Have you never trespassed on someone's property before?"

  "What is trespassing on private property?" Scars Three didn't notice, but next to him a diligent and inquisitive whisker asked a question that made all the whiskers feel ashamed.

  "It's just a home invasion robbery! Entering someone else's house without the owner's consent to rob, steal, beat people, and act like rascals! Don't tell me you've never done this before." Hu Fei looked at these robbers one by one, could it be that he really encountered a group of kind-hearted robbers who had never even committed a home invasion robbery?

  Bandits are bandits, where is the distinction between good and evil? The whiskers that were chatting with Hu Fei showed a silly smile, "Hehe, of course I've done it. Oh, you mean we can just do business like before, find a house in town to hide in?"

  "What are we waiting for? I know a house with many rooms. In the north of the city, there is a man named Zhou Bapi, who has dozens of rooms in his house and five wives. Let's go to his place?" As soon as they had a direction, the Huzi immediately made up their minds, and Sun Liu was the first to suggest a candidate.
