214 Get on the Horse and Yousre a Thief II (2/2)
Mo Shanshan quietly looked at him, and suddenly asked, ”Do you know who I am?”
Ning Que did not answer this question.
Mo Shan repeated the previous question, ”In what way can we get rid of these Horse Gangs?”
Ning Que answered, ”The so-called Horse Gang while on the horse he's a thief, when off the horse he's a civilian. They don't believe in moral judgment, and they even don't mind what the world trend is. Instead, they only care about whose knife is sharper. If we want to deter or shock them to retreat, just do as I said earlier, the way of the Horse Gangs.”
Mo Shanshan continued to repeat, ”What way?”
Ning Que looking at the girl's pretty but indifferent cheeks. He then suddenly laughed and said, ”As I've said earlier, the way of the Horse Gangs.”
He was very persistent and bored, but more so with Mo Shanshan. She continued to repeat, ”What way.”
Ning Que shook his head with a smile, and replied, ”We get on the horses, become thieves and go and kill them.”
Mo Shanshan concisely said, ”I won't kill people.”
Ning Que simply said, ”I can teach you.”
Mo Shanshan simply answered, ”Ok.”
A moment later, Ning Que and Mo Shanshan respectively led a big black horse and a fine white horse, and walked slowly towards the dark Wilderness outside the camp. Mo Shanshan suddenly asked with the night breeze blowing in her beautiful hair,” Where do these horse Gangs come from?”
He could not make an accurate judgment about the Horse Gangs who stayed around and seemed to ambush at any time -- he was acquainted with the Wilderness in the west and the Horse Gangs in the Wilderness. Furthermore, if he was to start with the cause of the problem, he also lacked enough information and analytical ability of the political situation.
The grain team that was supervised by the girls from the Great River Kingdom carried the goodwill of the Central countries , as well as the intent of making peace with the Divine Hall. Now due to the tensions in the Wilderness, the original Horse Gangs had already fled away. These Horse Gangs that appeared here, obviously wanted to kill people and grab the grains but their main purpose had nothing to do with the grains, but instead sabotage the peace negotiations.
There were a few reasons for this. The tribes of the Desolate Men who had moved southwards from the extremely cold northern part would not be able to raise such a large group of Horse Gangs in such a short period of time. Even if the Yuelun Kingdom would like to harm citizens of the Great River Kingdom, no one would be so bored and evil as to occupy a mild stream. Yan Kingdom had long been afflicted by the Left-Tent palace. Therefore, they would not want to miss the opportunity to pacify the North in one stroke. However, would the empire of the Yan risk taking a secret shot and offend the Divine Hall?
After much deliberation, Ning Que was only able to come up with several simple possibilities. After all the deductions, he couldn't figure out who else was capable of raising such a large group of Horse Gangs on the grassland.
However, not being able to resolve this question did not really trouble him. With regard to the creature, Horse Gangs, whom he had been fighting with for many years, Ning Que 's attitude had always been clear - only the dead Horse Gangs were good ones.
Then, he would kill a dozen Horse Gangs that strayed to close to him.
There was a cloud drifting over the night sky, hiding the last few stars. The surrounding Wilderness, far away from the light of the camp, was dark. Only the weak sounds of hooves were faintly heard.
Coming to the meadow that was within a stone's throw away distance to the hidden location where there were a dozen Horse Gangs, Ning Que gently lifted the reins. The big black horse shook its head with some impatience, but still stopped as required.
Horse Gangs were certainly vigilant. Even the weakest sound of hooves would wake them up.
Ning Que, with the slight strength of his waist and abdomen, placed his feet on the pedal to stand up, and then took the boxwood bow out from his back.
Mo Shanshan gave him a glance, thinking what was the point of using arrows when they were so far away from them.
The Horse Gangs in the distance were awake, ready to confront the fight.
In the dark night, Ning Que could not see his five fingers that were holding the bow, so he quietly stared at that place and then slowly closed his eyes. He drew his bow and aimed somewhere, and then released the bowstring.
The bowstring was buzzing in the sky.
A Horse Gang in the distance was hit by an arrow in the chest, and a pinch of blood burst out. He then fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
