Li Qi, an experienced bandit who wanders around various counties all year round.
Relying on his sharp teeth and ability to observe people's emotions, he was able to prosper in Dongzi Mountain.
But today, a robbery that could not be done in ordinary life was something Li Qi would never forget.
The ten civilians in front of them didn't seem to be in any danger at all, under the words of the one behind them.
Zhou Shen instantly burst out with a strong murderous aura. This kind of terrifying aura was even worse than that of their leader.
The next scene made Li Qi wet his pants on the spot. These nine people were like murderous gods.
With just his bare hands, he killed all his friends cleanly.
The grove shrouded in sunlight was filled with blood. Even though the weather was very good now, in Li Qi's eyes, it was like a cold day in the twelfth lunar month.
Seeing Su Qi'an walking slowly, Li Qi came to his senses and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy, his head was pounding.
"The little one is blind and has offended several great gods. I hope the adults can show mercy. If the adults don't remember the villain's fault and let the little one off, he will definitely..."
Li Qi looked so frightened that Su Qi'an laughed and said.
"If you want to survive, it depends on whether you cooperate."
"The little ones will definitely cooperate. As long as the adults ask, the little ones will tell you everything they know."
"Tell me, what's going on with the bandits in Dongzi Mountain? I remember that half a year ago, most of the bandits in Lingbei County were wiped out. Now they seem to be even more rampant than before."
Li Qi said quickly, "Your Excellency is right. The bandits in Dongzi Mountain were wiped out half a year ago, but a month later, a new group of bandits came to Dongzi Mountain."
"Little hilltop bandits like us have the attitude of watching a show. After all, everyone knows about Lingbei County's annihilation of Dongzishan bandits."
"If new bandits really occupied Dongzi Mountain, they would be wiped out sooner or later. However, this group of bandits did not wait for the Lingbei County government to encircle and suppress them, and they actually took the initiative to attack. They suffered very few casualties and escaped unscathed."
"This battle directly made their reputation, so they started to recruit troops. I don't know what means they used, and several nearby counties responded."
"Later, this bandit master led thousands of bandits to besiege the Lingbei County Government with great fanfare. The county government was passively defensive and did not even dare to leave the county seat."
"From now on, I will be able to establish a firm foothold in Dongzi Mountain. It has a great reputation. There is a risk of being conquered at any time on a small mountain like this, so I joined Dongzi Mountain."
"But I'm just a kid. I swear to you, my lord, that when I was a bandit, I never did anything like killing people or stealing goods. I hope your lord will tell you the truth."
Listening to Li Qi's begging for mercy, Su Qi'an ignored him, his eyes flashed, and he asked.
"Let me ask you, how strong is your boss? What is the defense on the mountain like? Are there any heavy weapons?"
"The master's strength is very strong, but compared with other great masters, he is inferior. As for the defense on the mountain, I don't know much about it. The sentries on the mountain are changed in secret, and only the master knows the sentry orders."
"As for heavy weapons, there are a few heavy ballistae. If you want to attack Dongzi Mountain, now is the perfect time."
"You said it's a good time to attack Dongzi Mountain, which is occupied by thousands of bandits? Do you want me to wait until death?" Tong Zhan beside him said coldly.
Feeling the killing intent on Tong Zhan, Li Qi couldn't help but shudder and said repeatedly.
"My lord, I have misunderstood. How could I have such courage? My lord, I heard from my lord that there are indeed thousands of bandits in Dongzi Mountain. However, our boss, because of his reputation, not only occupies Dongzi Mountain, but also the surrounding hills. It’s all within control.”
"We need to divide our troops to guard. There will be no more than 200 people on Dongzi Mountain now. If the adults gather some people and the younger ones lead the way, we will be able to capture Dongzi Mountain in just a short time."
Just as Li Qi's voice fell, he clearly felt a chill coming from this kind-hearted man.
Li Qi was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly, not knowing what he said wrong.
After a while, Su Qian's cold voice sounded, "Is there a village called Dongshan Village within your control?"
"Dongshan Village? There are some." Although he didn't know why the adult in front of him asked this, Li Qi answered quickly.
"This village is a big deal. It's a tricky idea. Some time ago, the leader personally led the team, but it was said that they all hit a wall. I heard a few days ago that the leader wanted to gather people and attack this small mountain village on a large scale."
After the words fell, Li Qi felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot, and his body was curled up.
Just when Li Qi raised his head to look at this adult, Su Qi'an stood up suddenly and said something to Tong Zhan.
After a while, Tong Zhan stepped forward and lifted Li Qi, leaving Su Yong and the others behind, while the remaining few walked forward.
Seeing Tong Zhan's actions, Li Qi was scared to death. Just relying on these six or seven people, he wanted to attack Dongzi Mountain? This is not seeking death.
Even if these killing gods in front of us can each block ten with one, it is simply impossible to destroy Dongzi Mountain.
Li Qi didn't want to die. Even if he warned him nicely, he would get an indifferent look from Tong Zhan.
Li Qi sighed helplessly and stopped struggling. It seemed that his fate was to die after all.
But just as Li Qi was being carried by Tong Zhan and walked about a mile or two, at some point, seventy or eighty people suddenly appeared in a bush in front of him.
Although they were all wearing civilian clothes and had expressionless faces, how could Li Qi, who was very discerning, not be able to tell who these people were.
The group of adults he met were definitely the same group of people.
Thinking of this, Li Qi took a breath and opened his eyes wide.
If there were only a dozen or so killing gods, Li Qi would have been amazed at most, but now there were about a hundred killing gods that suddenly appeared.
What the hell are these people coming from?
And looking at these killing gods, they have great respect for that kind gentleman.
The gentleman was young, and he suddenly appeared with a group of murderers, and he just asked him about Dongshan Village. It seemed that the small mountain village was very important to him.
Thinking back on this, Li Qi seemed to think of something for a moment. He suddenly thought that half a year ago, in Lingbei County, a great talent who shone brightly seemed to be from Dongshan Village, named Su Qi'an.
When he heard that the county examination was over, he left the village and went to some border battlefield.
"It's him! He's back!" Li Qi's expression suddenly changed, and his mouth opened wide.
He knew that when Mr. Su came back, Lingbei County and even the county would be turned upside down!
Seeing Tong Zhan and others heading straight to Dongzi Mountain, Su Qi'an was not worried about their safety.
The one who can survive from the battlefield is not a hard-blooded soldier who puts himself to death.
Not to mention, the 100 new troops Su Qi'an brought back this time were elites selected from 2,000 people.
They can be called the elite among the elite, and there is no way this group of bandits can resist them.
Su Qi'an already has his own ideas about the arrangements for the new army. He wants to train these new troops into the strongest military branch in his previous life, the special forces!
If you want to become a qualified special sergeant, destroying the bandits in Dongzi Mountain is the first lesson.
As for whether what Li Qi said was true or false, Su Qi'an also didn't care. Li Qi's life was in Tong Zhan's hands.
If he cheats, he will be the first to die. No matter how loyal the bandit is, his own life always comes first.
After watching Tong Zhan and others leave, Su Qi'an led Su Yong and the others towards Dongshan Village.
He was also very curious about how much Dongshan Village had changed in the six months since he left.
Dongshan Village is not far from Su Qi'an's location, about ten miles.
Su Qi'an did not enter the village in a big way this time, but carefully lurked.
Less than a few miles away from the village entrance, Su Qi'an keenly discovered several secret sentries lurking in the forest and on the path.
Su Qi'an didn't mean to disturb him and walked around carefully, but he was very impressed in his heart.
In less than half a year, a small mountain village that was originally a very ordinary village was actually managed so tightly.
In addition to the hidden sentries arranged three to five miles from the village entrance, there are also open sentries patrolling back and forth on the only roads that must be passed.
With this tight pincer attack one after another, even if Su Qi'an wanted to sneak in without leaving any trace, he would have to waste some effort.
These skills were naturally learned on the Ningzhou battlefield. If it had been done half a year ago, Su Qi'an would have definitely been discovered.
Su Qi'an and the others bypassed many rounds of light and dark sentries, but when they were less than 300 meters away from Dongshan Village, they were discovered by a deeply hidden sentinel.
In an instant, a dozen people jumped out from all around and surrounded Su Qi'an and the three of them.
Each of them held a pair of short crossbows in their hands and aimed at them. As long as Su Qi'an and the others made any move, they would definitely kill them at the next moment.
At this time, a young hunter ran over and scolded his men first.
"What are you doing for food? You actually let people touch you right under your nose, and then you find out who is the captain of this team. Let's see how I go back and deal with him properly!"
Immediately, the young hunter turned his head and looked at Su Qi'an and the other three people wearing similar camouflage clothes, and said with a softened expression.
"Friends, judging from your appearance, you are probably not ordinary people. You are capable of evading the security posts on the periphery. You have some skills. Now take off your camouflage clothes."
"I, Dongshan Village, am not a bully. If you talk well, you can be friends. If you have other agendas, don't blame me for being rude."
"Don't be too careful, otherwise it won't be a dozen crossbow arrows that will be shot at you!"
Su Qi'an suddenly laughed after listening to the explanation and said with a smile.
"Haha, I haven't seen Zhao for half a year, and now you really have the momentum of a captain."
Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, his eyes froze, the voice echoing in his ears made him very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Su Qian turned around with a smile and took off her camouflage clothes, revealing that familiar face.
"First...sir! Is that really you, sir?" Zhao Da's voice trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Haha, it's guaranteed to be genuine."
Looking at that familiar smile, Zhao Da finally confirmed that the man in front of him was the gentleman they thought about day and night.
Zhao Da quickly turned his head and said to his men, "Quick! Go and inform my sister-in-law, the village chief, Brother Hu, and others that your husband is back. Go quickly!"
