"A few years earlier, I wouldn't have been the kind of person to accept cowardice no matter what."
"It's just that it's not as good as it was back then..."
Wu Yougou looked down at his injured leg with a look of helplessness on his face, and said, "My brothers and I have agreed to let the young people in the village escape first with their children."
"If nothing happens, I'll come back later."
"If they do come, we will fight them."
"Killing one is enough to earn money, killing two is enough to earn one. What are you afraid of?"
"He said this territory belongs to them, but does it matter if he says it?"
"Although my life has been a bit rough, I have never been afraid when I fought hard on the battlefield. I can't afford to lose this person."
Wu Yougou raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "But Your Highness, I have an unkind request."
"If it is convenient for Your Highness, please help me bring Xiao Wu and the other children with me."
"After all, these children are innocent. In the future, it's fine whether you take them with you as slaves or whatever."
Wu Yougou touched Geng Xiaowu's head and said, "They are lucky to be able to follow His Highness..."
Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle.
These eight words may seem heartless, but in fact this is reality.
Competition has existed in all walks of life since ancient times.
How can bandits be an exception?
It is nothing more than following the natural law of big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimps, and shrimps eating the land.
This may not be the world that people yearn for, but this is what people must experience in life.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "Okay, don't behave badly in front of me. No matter what, you are still a member of the Liangzhou Army."
"Don't tell me that you fought to the death for our Tang Dynasty for many times. Even if you are just a new soldier who has just joined the army, I still have to help you."
"Now, you just need to tell me where those people are, and I will go over and take a look."
"I also want to see who is so domineering."
As he said that, Li Chengqian lowered his head and glanced at Geng Xiaowu and said, "Geng Xiaowu, can you find the lair of their group?"
"Find."
Geng Xiaowu stood up and responded.
"That's fine."
"Let's walk."
Just when Li Chengqian was about to walk away, he remembered that he was not alone.
He looked back at his two beautiful wives and said, "You two ladies, would you like to come with me and take a look?"
{Received resentment value +57 from Su Qingling...}
As the system prompt sounds.
Su Qingling, who secretly blamed Li Chengqian for being nosy, grabbed Lu Wanjie and walked towards the carriage.
Before getting into the car, she did not forget to say to Li Chengqian: "If you want to do this kind of thing, go ahead and don't call us."
After saying that, she got on the carriage without looking back.
Seeing this, Lu Wanjie even wanted to go, but she couldn't.
After all, she is the concubine, and she still has to have a good relationship with the main concubine.
She glanced at Li Chengqian with a slightly apologetic look, and then got into the carriage.
See the appearance of these two girls.
Li Chengqian also looked helpless.
Then he glanced at Geng Xiaowu and said, "Okay, let's go."
After Geng Xiaowu agreed, he took Li Chengqian all the way towards the depths of the birch forest.
…
The desolation of Longyou Road is well known.
Especially the place where the birch forest is located is almost approaching the Western Region.
Beyond the birch forest, there are miles of yellow sand to the east, and the other three sides are either rocky land with no vegetation, or a salt-alkali desert full of weeds.
And this birch forest seems to have grown against the sky, covering an area of more than ten miles square.
There are streams in the woods and some flat areas where some corn coarse grains can be cultivated.
In addition, there are many places with fruit trees deep in the woods.
It's like God saw the suffering in the world and specially gave it to the poor people here as a gift.
But the gift is for all the poor after all.
The people living here are not just Wu Yougou, there are also many small villages living here.
Li Chengqian and Geng Xiaowu walked together.
While walking, Geng Xiaowu explained the situation here to Li Chengqian.
At this moment, a messy sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
Geng Xiaowu pricked up his ears, and then ran straight towards a big tree.
Although this guy may be thin, his ability to climb trees is absolutely top-notch.
With just three clicks, he stepped onto the trunk of a birch tree as thick as a man's waist.
Li Chengqian stood under the tree and watched, watching Geng Xiaowu's expression become more and more excited, as if he had seen something that made him extremely happy.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but joke: "Whose girl did you see taking a bath?"
"No no."
"It's the group of people who bullied us."
Geng Xiaowu chuckled and said, "I knew they would have to kick on the iron plate sooner or later."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian asked with some confusion: "What's going on?"
Geng Xiaowu looked down at Li Chengqian, and then hurriedly got down from the tree.
He ran directly in front of Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "That group of people started fighting with those on the west side of the birch forest."
"These people are really looking for death, they deserve it!"
There are all kinds of people in this birch forest, some are fugitives from various places, and some are deserters from the army.
After they gathered here, they became a small tribe.
People in the tribe make a living by robbing passers-by, farming and hunting.
The group of people Geng Xiaowu was talking about was a group of people who came from the army.
But these people are not deserters.
The leader was a man, with a face like a crown jewel, eyes like bright stars, and a very heroic spirit.
This man's name is Liu Qi, and he has settled in this birch forest for a year.
Standing beside him were a dozen sturdy men, who seemed to be his bodyguards.
Several guys covered in blood were forced to kneel down in front of him by a group of people.
Looking at the people in front of him, Liu Qi said expressionlessly: "I told you before, we don't care who you want to touch, and we don't care."
"But don't mess with us, otherwise, I will definitely make it impossible for you to stay in this birch forest."
"But you guys come to my territory time and time again to cause trouble. Do you really want to die?"
He just finished speaking.
One of the men kneeling on the ground struggled to get up and said: "Liu Qi!"
"We might as well tell you the truth today. The purpose of our doing this is nothing more than to integrate this birch forest."
"Even if the officers and soldiers come, they won't be able to do anything to us."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Liu Qi smiled when he heard this man's words.
It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"I'm not laughing at you."
"Do you think you, number 180, can stop the army?"
"I'm afraid the local reservists are here, and you can't stop them."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
The man was not afraid at all. Even though his face was bruised and bruised, he still straightened his back.
"Okay, okay, you have ambition but no ability."
"Just live your life honestly, why do you think so much when you have nothing to do?"
Liu Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. People like you are like this in this life."
"Hey, brother, I won't be happy if you say this."
"If someone has such ideals, how can you say that this will be the case for the rest of his life?"
