Yi Xiaodao was sure that the stupid big man in front of him was the bandit leader the old man mentioned. However, he was only a few years older than him, in his mid-twenties at most. How could he intimidate these hundreds of vicious bandits?
"Give it, what? I don't have much left. With so many people like you, I can't afford it." Han Shi said first, fearing that Yi Xiaodao would miss his white face.
"One of your men has already killed the old man."
Han Shi's eyes widened: "Who!"
Yi Xiaodao was about to speak, but forgot his name for a moment. The sergeant beside him reminded him, and then Yi Xiaodao remembered: "Chen Youcai."
"This beast!" Han Shi cursed bitterly.
Yi Xiaodao saw that Han Shi's demeanor did not seem to be hypocritical and said: "This man is in my camp. As long as you kill him first, I will believe that you are a good person. Let's discuss the matter of borrowing troops later."
"Bring the knife to someone, bring it here!" Han Shi said angrily.
Yi Xiaodao waved his hand, and the sergeant on the side went to take the people, and soon ran back empty-handed: "Sir, Chen Youcai ran away!"
"Run away? Where did he go?" everyone asked in surprise.
"I don't know where I went, and I don't know when I ran away."
Yi Xiaodao stamped his feet angrily: "Is it possible for people to come and go freely in a military camp with ten thousand people? No one knows if he escapes!"
Yi Xiaodao had completely forgotten that a month ago, he had done it once in the barracks of the 30,000-strong Chu Xiang Army. Not only did he escape unscathed, he even took away Li Rongyi from Nanhuai.
"That guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Hum, when I bump into him, I will kill him with a knife!" Han Shi said angrily from the sidelines.
Looking at his appearance, Yi Xiaodao guessed that Han Shi and Chen Youcai didn't deal with each other either.
"I'm going to look for him now. If I find him, I'll bring his head back. Then you can lend me some soldiers. How about that?" Han Shi said and turned to leave.
Yi Xiaodao rolled his eyes and shouted quickly: "Wait a minute, how many people are there in your village?"
"There are still three hundred people, what are you doing?" Han Shi didn't hide anything and directly revealed his background.
Yi Xiaodao said to the sergeant standing by: "Take him down first and wait until he is full and full."
"You're not going to arrest me, are you? I'm here to surrender sincerely, but you, an adult, can't do this!" Han Shi jumped to his feet and shouted. The soldiers on the side didn't care about many, and several strong men immediately came up and dragged Han Shi down.
Wei Youming turned around and lifted the curtain for Yi Xiaodao, and asked, "Sir, what are you going to do if you two stay in the camp?"
Wei Youming was uneasy, and it was not his fault. There were only five thousand Yulin troops in the camp, but now there are tens of thousands of them, including Yicheng, Jiacheng, Shenji Sect, Zhenyang Mountain, as well as bandits and disaster victims. , just a few days after entering Donglu, there are already so many people with complex factions in the camp, what will happen if this continues.
Yi Xiaodao sat back in his seat: "General Wei, I have an idea. We have just arrived, and this man named Han Shi has come to defect. You said that we will continue to recruit bandits and bandits in Donglu and take them for our own use. Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
Wei Youming said worriedly: "If they get together and cause trouble..."
Yi Xiaodao said: "That's why I want you to sit in the military camp. Brother Xue, Sister Shenxian, I, go to Richeng to prevent Wanyan Sect from banning the Dragon Qi."
Wei Youming stopped talking and frowned. He didn't agree with this proposal. He considered himself to be just a martial artist, and he was not able to understand the tactics of the people. Yi Xiaodao was not around, so he was asked to recruit all kinds of tough gangsters for his own use. He really didn't know how to use it.
Xue Mang nodded and said: "This is a good idea. The troops are divided into two groups. General Wei doesn't have to worry. I will do my best to protect Master Yi." Xue Mang thought Wei Youming was worried about Yi Xiaodao's safety.
"It's settled, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." Yi Xiaodao glanced at Guan Chenzi and saw that she had no objection, so he made the final decision.
At night, Wei Youming chatted with Yi Xiaodao for a long time in the commander's tent, and only left when he was about to leave.
Early the next morning, Yi Xiaodao, Xue Mang, and Guan Chenzi took out three horses from the camp, and Wei Youming and the generals in the army sent them outside the camp gate.
"We'll see you in Jicheng in one month." Yi Xiaodao and Wei Youming agreed on a date, and the three of them rode away.
Wei Youming and his generals turned back to the camp and said, "Bring the black man from yesterday."
Soon, the sergeant brought Han Shi to Wei Youming.
Han Shi was not angry: "Why should you detain me! I sincerely submit to the imperial court!"
Wei Youming said angrily: "Didn't I give you something to eat? You ate six steamed buns in one meal last night. What do you call them?"
When Han Shi saw that the kind-hearted man from yesterday was gone and only the fierce general was left, he revealed his old ways and his voice immediately became softer: "How about eating a few steamed buns..."
Wei Youming had no intention of arguing with him about the steamed buns and asked: "Yesterday you said you were going to save your brother, Qin Liangtian? Why did this man get such a name? What happened to him and you asked you to borrow troops to rescue him? ?”
Han Shi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, it's too late if you don't go! My brother was in Qucheng and was arrested by the Qucheng County Magistrate. Don't talk so much. Lend me some troops first and I'll take them down." Qucheng, let’s rescue him first.”
"You bastard! You want to use the imperial troops to attack the imperial officials. How brave are you!" Wei Youming shouted angrily.
Han Shi was shocked by Wei Youming's words and said angrily: "What court officials! Damn! They will bully the good. I will not only attack Qucheng, but I will also uproot the Confucius Gate!"
Han Shi was extremely excited. Only then did Wei Youming realize that there was something else going on and asked, "What exactly happened? Please tell me."
Han Shi sat down on the ground, and Wei Youming frowned slightly: "Sit on the chair."
Han Shi had no choice but to get up, sit on the chair, thank Wei Youming with his hands, and then said: "That is my uncle's brother, named Qin Tiantian, because when my aunt gave birth to him, he was born after two full days. Come down, for this reason my uncle directly named him Qin Tiantian."
"I don't care about this now, tell me the important point!" Wei Youming was already impatient, and he spent a lot of time with the clever Yi Xiaodao. At this time, he felt angry when he saw Han Shi, a fool.
"It was all caused by my cousin falling in love with a girl in the village. They were childhood sweethearts, but when it came time to talk about marriage, people from the Confucius family suddenly came and wanted to take the girl away. He said that the girl was the eldest daughter of Confucius. Just pick her up. My cousin thought that he could live a good life by riding on the high branch of Confucius, but in the end... alas, he wanted to marry that girl to Ji. What kind of Huquan Gang in the city!"
"So your cousin, Qin Tiantian, killed someone in anger?" Wei Youming's gossip mentality was aroused, and he asked for the result first.
Han Shi glanced at the anxious Wei Youming and said, "How could it be? Although my cousin was a bit naughty, he didn't dare to kill anyone. He went to Kong's house at that time to see the girl, but was kicked out. Go to the front door When that didn't work, he climbed over the wall, was caught again, beaten, and sent to the government. The county magistrate of Nagqu City, regardless of right and wrong, simply sent my cousin to jail for trespassing into a private house..."
Wei Youming smacked his lips and said, "It's very ordinary. Okay, let your cousin go. Trespassing into a private house is not a serious crime and you won't die. Let me ask you, are there any bandits or bandits around here? What are they? Do you know what kind of people are so vicious and helpless?"
"I know everything around here, and I know a little about Qucheng, but I don't know anything further away," Han Shi said.
"Well, now lead the way and bring your three hundred people first." Wei Youming waved his hand and said without doubt; "First lead us to clear out the banditry in the surrounding area, and we will believe that you are sincere. Surrender to the imperial court and Lord Yi will help rescue your cousin."
Wei Youming drew a big picture and pushed the matter onto Yi Xiaodao. Even if Qin Liangtian didn't let him go by then, it was just a matter of Yi Xiaodao's words.
"Okay, let's go now, let's go now!" Han Shi stood up impatiently and urged.
Only then did Wei Youming stand up, followed by Han Shi, and the two of them left the tent one after the other.
…
Nanhuai, Hangcheng, Xiushanfang.
Liu Zhiyun, the current deputy master of Xiu Fan Workshop, walked into the practice room, seemingly calm and peaceful. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that her left leg was slightly lame, and she was trying her best to maintain a stable condition.
"Xianlian'er, are you practicing?"
"Master, why are you here? Sit down quickly." Xiang Lian'er knew that Liu Zhiyun's left leg was sick, so she stopped her sword moves and quickly came over to help Liu Zhiyun, and pulled her to a stool aside to sit down.
Liu Zhiyun looked at Xiang Lian'er and smiled and said, "It's okay. If you act like this, I thought I was going to die soon."
Xiang Lian'er looked at the few silver threads growing out of Liu Zhiyun's temples, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. At first, he was following Gao Cui, wanting to avenge Yi Xiaodao who was accidentally injured by her. Unexpectedly, he was captured and brought back to Lingyue Pavilion. By some mistake, he now became a member of Xiu Shanfang.
Looking back now, it only lasted half a year. When I first arrived at Lingyue Pavilion, my master was so graceful and shining. Now she looks like a rickety old woman, without her former charm.
"Master, what's the matter here?" Xiang Lian'er picked up the topic and ignored the gray hair, lest Master become suspicious and sad.
"Lian'er, you are indeed a good young talent, but you have only been practicing for two months, and you are already very good at swordsmanship. Gao Cui had to practice for more than half a year before you were as good as you." Liu Zhiyun looked at the person in front of him who was his most proficient. The proud disciple couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Xiang Lian'er smiled lightly: "It's all taught well by Master."
Liu Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "What a sweet little mouth. I heard that Duke Zhongyi, whom you know, Li Dingxing, the second son of the King of Nanhuai, has now become Duke Zhongyi and is recruiting Nanhuai troops. I don't know why. ah?"
"Why did Master suddenly mention this?" Xiang Lian'er was puzzled.
Liu Zhiyun smiled and said, "I have sent people to inquire. I heard that Lord Yi had negotiated with the King of Nanhuai and arranged a marriage for you. It is that Li Dingxing. I wonder if this is the case?"
Xiang Lian'er's face turned red with embarrassment: "It's all because of that guy Yi Xiaodao! In order to get into the Nanhuai Prince's Palace, he didn't hesitate to ruin my reputation. I get angry when he mentions this!"
"If you have it, you have it. What's the point of being shy when a female college student gets married? Xiushanfang is now the largest gang in Nanhuai, and you are the leader of the gang, so you can be regarded as the right match for him. What's more, Mr. Yi is also with the King of Nanhuai As agreed, we have to prepare for this in advance!" Liu Zhiyun looked at Xiang Lian'er eagerly.
Xiang Lian'er asked curiously: "Master, why did you suddenly mention this today? Are you hiding something from me?"
"Don't blame Master..." There were a little tears in Liu Zhiyun's eyes.
