Xu Mu, who was not good at riding a horse, could only leave the village and touch the weapon.
"Only take the copper ring from the right ear, no need to cut off the head."
If the military achievements of the defeated Di people were to be counted in the official workshop, just hand in the copper ring. A copper ring is equivalent to a head of military merit.
"My boss, there are fifty-one!" Zhou Zun led the people to collect the supplies, his voice trembling with joy.
Such military achievements are very gratifying. At least, the more than fifty people in the village have no problem entering Hezhou City.
In addition, the captured Di troops and some robes and armor weapons can also be exchanged for a lot of money at the official shop.
Xu Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He just waited for Si Hu and the others to come back, and then immediately knocked on the iron gate of Hezhou with this military merit.
"Zhou Zun, tie the Di people and horses with hemp ropes to prevent them from escaping when they leave the village."
Zhou Zun obeyed the order and took two people with him. He hurriedly found hemp ropes and tied up the more than 20 Di people and horses they had brought back.
If there is enough time, Xu Mu would like to find the other Di people who ran away in fear. It's a pity that we can't delay any longer.
"Boss, Brother Tiger and the others are back!"
Around dusk, the figures of Si Hu and others finally appeared on the forest road.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to open the door of the village. Not long after, he saw Si Hu stepping in with four or five scimitars in his arms.
"Kill them all?"
"Killed." Si Hu breathed out, "Brother Mu didn't know that those Di barbarians could only run and didn't know the way, so they ran to death on the edge of the cliff."
"Two of them fell off the cliff and died, and the rest were killed by us." Zhao Qingyun couldn't hide the joy on his face. He never thought that one day he would hunt down the Beidi people.
"But there is something else." Zhao Qingyun said, his expression changing slightly.
"Brother Zhao, please tell me."
After taking four or five copper rings, Xu Mu handed them to Jiang Caiwei. He found that Zhao Qingyun's expression was slightly complicated.
"Master Xu Fang, we all saw that there is a temporary camp of Di people under the cliff. Judging from the guesswork, they probably robbed the treasures and the place where the women were buried. We will take them back to Wang after they rob more. In the state city.”
"Brother Mu, when we met, there happened to be two girls who were trying to run away. They were shot by the Di people with their bows. They shot more than a dozen arrows in a row, and their faces were smashed."
Xu Mu only felt waves of discomfort in his chest.
"Brother Zhao, how many cavalry are there in the Di camp?"
Zhao Qingyun thought for a while, "Nearly two hundred riders."
Two hundred cavalry were already large enough to launch a charge.
"I have already planned to go to the Hezhou camp later to see if I can invite troops to kill them."
Listening, Xu Mu smiled bitterly. This is almost impossible. If the Hezhou camp had eggs, it would not have stayed on hold.
"Brother Zhao, do you know anyone from Hezhou City?"
"I know a few captains and have had wine with them several times. When the time comes, Chief Xu Fang will enter the city, and he may be able to help."
Xu Mu pondered for a while, "How about this, take a token of Brother Zhao and let the villagers enter Hezhou first with their military merits."
Zhao Qingyun was a little confused, "Brother Xu, don't you want to go?"
"If you don't go, you still have to kill the enemy."
"Where's the enemy?"
"Under the cliff."
Zhao Qingyun was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to understand what Xu Mu meant.
"Master Xu, do you want to kill those two hundred knights?"
"So what."
"I dare to ask Master Xu, but he invited reinforcements?" Zhao Qingyun forced himself to calm down and asked in a calm voice.
"No, it's just the seven of us."
"Seven people killed two hundred knights?"
"Seven men killed two hundred riders."
Zhao Qingyun only felt that his brain was suddenly insufficient. Even the strongest warriors in Daji did not dare to boast of this.
"Brother Zhao, do you want to go with us?"
Zhao Qingyun gritted his teeth. He had been in the army for a long time. He knew well that people should not be judged by their appearance. This young owner of the old racecourse had already shocked him when he protected the village.
"I would like to go with you."
Taking out a bronze official medal from his arms, Zhao Qingyun continued to speak.
"If people from the official office in Hezhou see this card, they will definitely be accommodating. When people from Xujiazhuang enter the city, they go to find a school captain named Bao Zhou, and he will respond accordingly."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
After taking the bronze medal and passing it to Zhou Zun behind, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhou Zun, be sure to look after the villagers along the way. You go first. I will do some things and then I will come to meet you."
Xu Mu couldn't rest assured about the rest, and only a few old guys like Chen Sheng and Zhou Zun were the most useful.
It was not too dangerous for seven or eight young men who had fought in battles together with the village women carrying longbow weapons to go to Hezhou. Furthermore, with military merit and Zhao Qingyun's bronze official medal, he is expected to be able to enter the city quickly.
"Let's go."
Zhou Zun still wanted to persist, but seeing Xu Mu's expression, he finally nodded and walked forward quickly.
"Chen Sheng Sihu, go get some Di people's robes and armor and put them on. Brother Zhao, your swords are also curled, why don't you pick two as well."
"It could not be better."
When everyone was ready, Xu Mu turned around silently.
Coincidentally, the maid's wife Jiang Caiwei stood ten steps behind him, with the same silence on her face.
The world is in turmoil, and we miss each other so much. In the blink of an eye, we become old friends in the mountains and rivers.
The maidservant’s wife did not persuade him.
Under the dazzling sunlight, he raised his head and put on a bitter smile.
When he walked a few steps, he had already picked out the thickest robe and armor, wrapped it around Xu Mu's body, and tied it slowly one rope after another.
"Xu Lang, I'm waiting for you in Wangzhou. If you don't come, I will keep waiting. If Hezhou is also destroyed in the future, I will continue to wait in the next city."
"Wait city by city, unless the entire Epoch is gone."
Xu Mu didn't dare to speak. He was afraid that Jiang Caiwei would recognize the change in his voice.
After tying her robe and armor, Jiang Caiwei came back and stood tremblingly in front of Xu Mu with her thin and frail body.
"Xu Lang, take care of yourself."
Xu Mu nodded and turned around, his steps as heavy as lead.
"Pick up the gun! Mount your horse!"
Six strong figures suddenly jumped onto their horses. Xu Mu, who was not good at riding a horse, could only ride one horse together.
Li Xiaowan, who was carrying a tiger shield, looked up at Xu Mu's back and tightly grasped the exquisite porcelain bottle in his hand.
She suddenly regretted not giving away this better golden sore medicine earlier.
"Congratulations to my boss!"
Zhou Zun, with seven or eight young men, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, his face full of respect.
Outside the row of wooden houses, the old scholar woke up. When he saw Liu Qi leaving, he started laughing again without realizing it.
"There are no heroes to make Zhuzi famous. My son Li Poshan is the bravest in the world!"
…
On the forest road, Xu Mu, holding his sword, would turn back from time to time and look at the old racecourse that was getting blurry.
The dust and smoke raised by the six fierce horses suddenly fascinated people's eyes.
Looking up, dusk burned half of the mountains and rivers in the distance, leaving only the last few rays of the blood-red sunset shining coldly on the sky.
