Otherworld Management Manual

Compared with the beasts in the forest, Zhang Feng was more worried about horse thieves.

After all, horse thieves are human beings with wisdom.

Almost everyone in Hongye City gritted their teeth when they mentioned horse thieves. They had all been hurt by horse thieves either directly or indirectly.

Horse thief is a profession that everyone hates, but there is nothing that everyone can do about horse thief.

They have a large number of people, move crimes, and only pick soft persimmons. The former Hongye City belonged to soft persimmons.

But Red Leaf City is too remote, so remote that horse thieves generally look down on them. Only when winter comes, when everyone tightens their belts and stops going out, horse thieves will come to this remote place to beat the autumn wind.

Zhang Feng learned from Marlowe Knight that the last time Hongye City encountered a horse thief was at this time last year.

At that time, the previous city lord was still in power, and there were many knights and soldiers in Hongye City. The horse thieves did not rush in directly, but the lord of Hongye City did not dare to conflict with the horse thieves.

After all, horse thieves are all desperadoes, and most of them are the kind who have to grab the next meal after robbing the last one. If you have a conflict with them, even if you destroy them, you will not get any benefits.

So the city lord spent money to eliminate the disaster and gave the horse thief some gold coins to avoid unnecessary troubles. The horse thief was naturally very happy that he could get what he wanted without any effort, so he didn't do anything to the people in Hongye City.

But the horse thief is not a moral person. Although he doesn't do anything to the people in Hongye City, the people around him are unlucky, and many people have been ransacked by the horse thief.

However, because they were afraid of the city lord of Hongye, they only robbed and did not kill anyone, so the city lord turned a blind eye.

"Then why didn't the city lord drive away the horse thieves? The horse thieves probably didn't have many people. There were so many knights and soldiers in Hongye City at that time, so they could have won the battle!"

Zhang Feng asked Marlowe suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, although I haven't fought them before, those horse thieves should not be the opponents of the soldiers of Hongye City, but how should I put it..."

Marlowe touched his head, a little helpless.

"Horse thieves are far more than their group. Although horse thieves are generally small in size, there are many horse thieves. There are many horse thieves. They may not violate the river, but they are also connected. If the lord of Hongye City gives him gold coins, those The horse thieves will declare that Hongye City is theirs, and other horse thieves will not come to attack Hongye City..."

Hearing Marlowe's explanation, Zhang Feng was a little speechless. To put it bluntly, isn't this just paying protection fees!

This horse thief has developed quite formally!

"That's why I can recognize them as horse thieves. The broken clothes on their bodies have the marks of the previous horse thieves."

Zhang Feng just said, how could Marlowe recognize that they were horse thieves from the several ugly corpses, so there was such a relationship.

"So, during this time, it's time for them to collect protection money from us?"

Although he had never heard of the word protection fee, Marlow probably understood what Zhang Feng meant, so he nodded.

"It should be. These people are likely to come to us."

"However, these people died."

Zhang Feng suddenly said with some pain.

Marlowe's face remained unchanged, obviously he knew what Zhang Feng meant.

"If the horse thieves find out that the person they sent to collect the money died unexpectedly, they will definitely think that we did it."

Caroline exclaimed a little.

There were no stupid people present, and Caroline naturally thought of this.

"This... this is trouble!"

Originally, after hearing that these horse thieves could be settled with gold coins, I felt that it would be a big deal for me to lose money and eliminate disasters. He didn't want to fight horse thieves.

But by accident, the horse thief died, on the territory of Hongye City.

"Why did they come from the Blackstone Forest?"

Zhang Feng was a little puzzled.

"After all, they are horse thieves, and they belong to people who can't see the light. If the king orders to exterminate them, they are not the country's opponents at all, so we can only try to keep a low profile. No one knows where their old lair is. Every time they go out to rob, they are always elusive."

Zhang Feng nodded. From this point of view, everything about the horse thief is already clear.

These horse thieves who came to Red Leaf City to collect protection fees came from the Black Stone Forest, but they met a pack of wolves, lost to the pack of wolves, and were wiped out by the group.

But the horse thieves are not just four people, there is a team behind them, if they know that these horse thieves died here, according to their character of horse thieves, they will definitely not let it go!

Hongye City is in trouble.

Headache!

Zhang Feng sucked his teeth, feeling a little helpless.

He just wants to do construction well and earn a little money. He never went outside to cause trouble at all, but he troubled himself to come to the door.

"Conscription after returning!"

The second conscription has to be put on the agenda. No matter how strong these soldiers are, at least they have to support the number, and they can bluff people.

As for these few corpses, Zhang Feng didn't bury them as much as the Holy Mother's heart. Anyway, they were destined to be enemies, so they let them expose their corpses in the wilderness.

"Let's go back."

Zhang Feng ordered everyone to leave around these corpses, but everyone was a lot more careful along the way.

Just when he was about to leave the Black Stone Forest, a feeling of peeping came again, and Zhang Feng suddenly turned his head.

"Um?"

Except for trees and stones, nothing happened.

But Zhang Feng felt a little weird.

Quiet, so quiet.

Except for the wind rustling the leaves, the chirping of birds was gone.

"There seems to be something wrong!"

choke~

Marlowe also noticed it. He pulled out the stainless steel knight sword he carried with him, and looked at the forest behind him with a serious face.

After waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened, but Marlowe did not relax his vigilance.

"My lord, you go first."

Marlowe whispered something to Zhang Feng, and then gave Caroline a wink. The knight told him intuitively that they seemed to be in trouble, and it was a big trouble!

"it is good."

Zhang Feng didn't say anything about "going together". In terms of this battle, Marlowe must have more say than him. He believed in Marlowe.

Silently hugging Caroline's waist, Zhang Feng's face was a little serious, and even some inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.

Still a little too weak!

"drive!"

Caroline tugged on the reins, and under the protection of several soldiers, she led Zhang Feng to leave the Black Stone Forest quickly. This was already the edge of the Black Stone Forest, and the group disappeared quickly.

Watching Zhang Feng leave safely, Marlowe breathed a sigh of relief.

Huh~

A gust of cold wind blew by, Marlowe shivered without warning, and his eyes narrowed.

Although he didn't see any people or beasts, Marlowe felt as if there was a ferocious and peerless beast staring at him.

Marlowe's hair stood on end, he held the long sword in his hand tightly, and the few remaining soldiers behind him also held the spear in their hands nervously.

The rain is coming.

...

At the same time, Zhang Feng quickly saw the iconic adobe city wall of Hongye City as the horse galloped all the way.

"Phew~ finally arrived—"

Suddenly, Zhang Feng felt a chill in his heart, and the feeling of being peeped appeared again!
