Lil 'White quickly went up to check on his injuries. Luckily, the wristguard blocked it, but that person only made a scratch on Zhao Wei's hand. The wound was not deep. After a simple bandage to stop the bleeding, it was fine. During this period of time, the group of people had tidied up the battlefield. Zhao Wei instructed Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to count the troops. At the time of departure, there were a total of five hundred people, a vast and imposing force. However, at this time, including Luo Lingwei and the other two, the entire team only had less than twenty people remaining.

Hearing Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's reports, Zhao Wei sighed heavily.

"I didn't expect that I would lose so many people on the way since I just left the capital for three days. At this time, there were still three prefectures and two counties away from the border city. He didn't know how many more plots he would have to face along the way. "Everyone, we need to be extremely alert, and do not be careless, or else we will lose our lives." Zhao Wei said to everyone with a serious expression.

Zhao Wei asked Lil 'White to help him bandage the wounds, while he woke up the unconscious Du Hu with some cold water along with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. As soon as Du Hu woke up, he shouted something like "Don't kill me, good man, spare me".

When Zhang Long saw Du Hu lose his composure and remembered that he was the one who brought people to ambush him, causing everyone to almost lose their lives here, he could not help but feel infuriated. He slapped Du Hu's face with his palm, causing Du Hu to feel a burning pain on his face and only then did he come back to his senses.

Seeing that Du Hu was no longer panicking, Zhao Wei finally asked, "What's your name? Who sent you here?" As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger and played with it.

Du Hu was already scared out of his wits and hurriedly said, "I did, I did." Afterwards, he clearly described his origins as well as the sequence of events of the entire matter.

So it turned out that Du Hu was originally a mountain king in the mountains near the Ming Lin manor. He brought his group of brothers to gather in the mountains. The official post at the Pine Hall had died a few years ago, and the rest of the attendants had been transferred to another inn. The Pine Hall had been abandoned, and at that time, the prefect of Minglin State was Hou Qing, who had already been publicly shown to the public. In order to earn an extra pay, he had saved the Pine House and had not sent anyone to take over it. At first. However, at the next inn, before they could even bring up the matter, the postman had already given him some silver taels and told him not to reveal the fact that the same thing had happened at the same time. As time passed, the passing attendants also came to a tacit understanding. Everyone would only stop for a moment before heading to the next inn.

However, Du Hu heard the news of the abandonment of the Zongliang restaurant. He thought to himself, "Although these postmen know of this news, ordinary citizens will not be able to know about it." As a result, he sent a few brothers to clean up the pine building and occupy it. He had turned this nice inn into his own underworld inn. He could not only steal wealth from passersby, he could also inquire about the news of the downhill.

A few days ago, the one-eyed man brought a dozen strong men with him to say that he wanted to join them on the mountain. He also brought two boxes of jewelry. Du Hu's happiness made him become the Second Manager and this one-eyed dragon was also a character. But within two days, the hundred or so people in Du Hu's village obediently followed him. Du Hu didn't know what method he used. And yesterday, the one-eyed man said that his subordinate's brother had found out that a group of people were passing by with two carts of treasures. When Du Hu heard this, he immediately decided to give it a vote. He told the one-eyed man to arrange for someone to prepare for him in the courtyard, while he brought someone with him to meet him.

That night, after everything had been prepared, the one-eyed man arranged for someone to pass off the meat and wine to the Imperial Guards while he and his men prepared in the dark. Du Hu brought his brothers down the mountain and discovered that these people were soldiers. He immediately regretted it, but it was too late now. It was a good thing that the one-eyed man had used some sort of poison. After the four hundred men had eaten the meat and wine, they were all poisoned to death, leaving not a single one alive. In this way, he was relieved. He left behind a dozen brothers to see what the treasures of that carriage were, and the rest went to meet the one-eyed man. Unexpectedly, his ten over brothers were all killed by Zhao Wei before they could even take a few rounds against him, and he himself became Zhao Wei's captive.

After hearing Du Hu's description, Zhao Wei knew there was no way he could get any more information from him. Inwardly, he thought that this person had been used by others to bury him because of his greed. He sighed and waved his hand, signaling Zhao Hu to bring Du Hu down. Zhao Hu brought Du Hu to the place where everyone was dealing with the corpses. After killing him, he threw him into the middle of the pile of bandits' corpses.

At this moment, Zhao Wei was thinking about how many one-eyed men he would have to face along the way. The reason for the failure this time was that Zhao Si and the others had disregarded the military's orders and lost their lives. The remaining people were all elites among elites. They would definitely listen to his words after a narrow escape.

"Pass down the order, from today onwards, we will disguise ourselves and change our route!"
