This battle was a complete victory, and Lu Yu, who killed the leader of the thieves, was indispensable. Without him, no one knows how many people would have died to win with difficulty.
Although those rogue bandits are nothing more than a mob, they at least have the last bit of madness. If you want to repel them, you must pay a certain price.
At this moment, the death of the thief leader Xie Dabao caused the death of many people in Taiping Dao.
Zhang Mancheng reined in his horse, looked at the people around him, and asked with a smile: "This man is so brave, whose general is he?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but no one responded. Han Zhong smiled proudly and said, "Reporting to Commander Qu, this person is my outer disciple."
"Just an outer disciple?" Zhang Mancheng was a little surprised.
"He was recruited a few days ago. The time was too short and the inner disciples have not been mentioned yet." Han Zhong replied.
"That's it." Zhang Mancheng nodded and said with a smile: "The outer disciple is not yet a formal disciple. This person is so brave. I wonder if Brother Han can cut off his love? Let him come to work for me?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Zhong's face suddenly froze and he could no longer laugh!
What he originally thought was that as long as Lu Yu achieved meritorious service in this war, he would be naturally rewarded and then mentioned to the inner disciples.
Who would have thought that Lu Yu's performance was so impressive that he directly killed Xie Dabao, the leader of the bandits, and was taken aback by Commander Qu!
"Are you still reluctant to let go?" Zhang Mancheng's smile disappeared and he asked lightly.
"Of course not." Han Zhong smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "If Qu Shuai likes me, what's the point of reluctantly giving up?"
"Okay!" Zhang Mancheng nodded, skipped the matter, and said loudly: "We have completed the task of solving the crisis in Bowang County and can return in triumph!"
"Brothers, clean up the battlefield and return home. There is a celebration banquet waiting for you tonight!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the battlefield cheered!
not far away.
Direction to Bowang County.
On the city, seeing that the bandits had been expelled and the crisis had been resolved, many soldiers cheered, and even some of the guards showed rare smiles.
Only the county magistrate Li Jiong frowned and his face did not look good.
The guard on the side saw the expression of his county magistrate and asked strangely: "Sir, why do you look unhappy?"
Li Jiong nodded and said quietly: "The reinforcements were victorious. Those bandits abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in panic. Why not take advantage of the victory and pursue them?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Maybe they know that you should not pursue poor enemies."
Li Jiong glanced at the guard, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
soon.
The news that the Taiping Taoists and powerful family soldiers had returned with a great victory spread to the county.
After Chu Gong heard the news, his face suddenly darkened.
Things were a little different than he imagined.
He originally thought that this would be a lose-lose situation.
Who would have thought that a fierce man with natural supernatural power would appear in Taiping Dao, throw out his halberd, and stab the leader of the thieves, Xie Dabao, to death!
Then win easily!
Chu Gong was very dissatisfied with this result.
"You didn't surrender, and you didn't continue to pursue and kill the bandits completely. Are you deliberately leaving a mess for me to clean up?"
Chu Gong immediately guessed Zhang Mancheng's intention and murmured: "These bandits are no longer a thing, so they are nothing, but..."
However, the Taiping Taoists who could easily defeat these bandits were a problem.
That they could easily defeat the rogue bandits showed that their strength was far superior to the rogue bandits.
If there are still a few more years of training, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Chu Gong frowned, but it’s not just his Nanyang that has Taiping Road, it’s found all over the world...
What if all the Taiping Taoists in the world rebelled?
Chu Gong couldn't help but shudder when he thought of that scene.
I didn't think about it carefully before, and I didn't think it was anything. Now when I think about what may happen in the future, I feel like a ray of light is on my back, and I can't sit still.
"No! I must report to the court, and I must not raise tigers to cause trouble..."
Chu Gong walked to the desk, picked up the memorial, and began to write eloquently, describing in detail the dangers of Taiping Road to His Majesty.
…
The bonfire was burning, everyone was singing, dancing, drinking and eating meat, and the atmosphere was very happy.
They had just experienced a war, killing the bandit leader who had done all kinds of evil, and resolving the crisis in a county. This greatly enhanced the cohesion of everyone in Taiping Dao.
"I've met Qu Shuai, I've met all the protectors."
Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man with a beard not far away and saluted.
"Haha, you are here, you are our great hero!" Zhang Mancheng, sitting in the middle, said with a smile: "If you didn't come, no one would dare to use chopsticks!"
The room was not as lively as the hustle and bustle outside, and the people sitting there were all the upper class people of Nanyang Taiping Road.
The protector Han Zhong who had admitted him in the first place was among them. He was sitting in the front seat and looked at Lu Yu with a complicated expression.
"Come! Take a seat!!" Zhang Mancheng stood up and pulled Lu Yu to a seat near the front: "I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"
Returning to his seat, Zhang Mancheng raised his glass and said loudly: "Come! I'll pay a toast to the hero Lu Yu!"
After saying this, everyone raised their glasses and toasted to Lu Yu.
"How shameless!" Lu Yu said quickly and drank a glass of wine.
"Okay!" Zhang Mancheng smiled, "You continue to eat and drink, and don't neglect little brother Lu! Talk to him more and connect with him! I'm going to go out for a tour!"
After that, Zhang Mancheng left the room.
As soon as Qu Shuai left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed.
The guardians introduced themselves to Lu Yu one after another. Zhang Mancheng's attitude today has proved to them that Lu Yu will definitely be reused in the future, and naturally he must have a good relationship.
"I heard that this little brother Lu Yu is a disciple of Brother Han?" A bearded man glanced at Lu Yu, then looked at Han Zhong, and asked with a smile.
"It used to be, but not now." Han Zhong shook his head.
"How do you say that?" The bearded man smiled and asked knowingly.
"What else can I say? Of course Qu Shuai saw such a good idea and took it away from me!" Han Zhong said helplessly.
"The commander is really unkind!" The bearded man gloated and said with a smile: "Who told you not to accept him as an inner disciple? In that case, even if the commander wants to rob him, it will be difficult to do so!"
"I'm careless!" Han Zhong took a sip of wine and said with some depression: "However, although I am reluctant to let go, the future is obviously better if I follow Qu Shuai! I can only bear the pain and give up!"
After saying that, Han Zhong looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile: "Follow Qu Shuai!"
Lu Yu nodded after hearing this.
Although he and Han Zhong were in a master-disciple relationship, they actually only met once when they entered Taiping Dao.
Han Zhong never showed up at the farm whether it was working or training, so it was impossible to say how deep the relationship was.
Qu's commander Zhang Mancheng knew this, so he asked Lu Yu over without any psychological burden.
Then Han Zhong introduced the bearded man next to Lu Yu: "This is the Great Protector Zhao Hong, who is also my senior brother."
Great protector!
Being able to put a big character in front of "Dharma Protector" is obviously an unusual status.
Just as Lu Yu was about to speak, someone came over with a jar of wine: "It's not pleasant for you to drink from this small cup. To drink, you must drink from the jar!"
Lu Yu turned his head and couldn't help but be stunned.
The person in front of him turned out to be a monk who was nine feet tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted.
"Great monk! You are here!" Zhao Hong said with a smile.
The great monk nodded, looked at Lu Yu, and asked with a smile: "Is this the boy who made great achievements today? He is so thin, but he didn't expect to be so powerful!"
Seemingly seeing the surprise in Lu Yu's eyes, the great monk added, "Are you wondering why the Sa family is here on Taiping Road?"
Lu Yu nodded.
The great monk smiled and said: "Because Buddha is the Tao! We are all one family!"
Lu Yu was speechless for a moment. Isn't this a hard move?
The great monk was minding his own business and sat down among a few people.
After chatting for a while, Lu Yu also found out the identity of this great monk. His original name was Sun Xia. He met the great virtuous master by chance when he was preaching. After listening to the great virtuous master's Taiping Tao, he found it very interesting and joined the Taiping Tao.
This monk reminded Lu Yu of Dai Deacon, who wore a Confucian crown and a Taoist robe in the farm. He couldn't help but sigh that Taiping Road was such a mixed bag, how could he meet anyone!
