Chen Tianshun came out of the cellar and looked around vigilantly, but he could not find Ye Ying and others hiding aside.
"Brothers, come up here!" Feeling that there was no one else here, Chen Tian lowered his head and shouted softly into the cellar. As soon as Chen Tianshun finished speaking, many people crawled out of the cellar one after another. Judging from their dressing, it was not difficult for Ye Ying and others to judge that these people were bandits who had slipped through the net in Yunze Village.
"One, two, three liang..., my God, there are actually seven people hiding in this small underground cave. No wonder I can't find such a fish that slipped through the net. It turned out to be hiding here." Seeing these bandits , Qi Jiao couldn't help but whisper.
"Finally, I can come out and take a breath. This day has done me a lot of harm." After the bandits came out, they greedily breathed the air outside. One bandit couldn't help but said.
"Kid, please keep your voice down, don't invite the officers and soldiers, come and have something to eat!" Chen Tianshun reminded the bandit in a low voice, and then opened the lid of the wooden basin.
"Wow, the noodles made by my sister-in-law are so delicious!" A bandit exclaimed, which immediately attracted all the bandits. Everyone gathered around, each filled a bowl, and squatted on the ground to eat.
The bandits were obviously very hungry. They wolfed down the food and quickly devoured a large bowl of pancakes. Many of them were still licking their mouths with unsatisfied intentions.
With their stomachs full and no danger found around them, they felt much better and began to chat quietly together.
"I heard that there are still some officers and soldiers left in this village, ready to kill us all. These officers are really not just ordinary gangsters." A bandit said in a low voice.
"Who would want to go up the mountain to become a bandit unless it was absolutely necessary? But even though we hid in the mountain, they still wouldn't let us go. This world is really not for human beings." Another bandit said.
"Look at our boss, such a good person, but in order to cover the retreat of our brothers, he was chopped into a mess by these vicious guys." When a bandit said this, he punched the roadside hard with his fist. of soil.
"Why do these black-hearted guys always hold on to us? Like those guys in Laojunshan and Heixionggou, they robbed and killed the common people. The officers and soldiers seemed not to have seen it in these years. The only one or two sieges It's just a formality." Someone else said from the side.
These bandits may have been holding back their chatter for a long time, and as soon as they started talking, they couldn't hold it back.
"Laojun Shanwang Huzi, and Liu Laokui from Heixionggou. These two guys have a close relationship with the officials. They pay tribute to them every year. How can these officials deal with them? Our boss can't stand it the most. The faces of these dog officials have naturally become a thorn in others' eyes and flesh." This time it was Chen Tianshun who spoke, and it was not difficult to hear the deep hatred in his voice.
"Second Master, what should we do now?" After hearing Chen Tianshun's words, a bandit asked.
"Our Yunze Village is finished, but as long as I, Chen Tianshun, have a breath of life, I will fight these dog officials to the end." Chen Tianshun said fiercely.
"The second master said it well. I, Wu Shanzi, will leave my life to the second master. Wherever the second master goes, I will follow him?" said a bandit.
"Yes, we will follow the second master. We will live together and die together."
"My wife and children were all killed this time, so I followed the second boss and continued to work with them. When I die, I will be reunited with my wife and children."
"I'm going to die, so I'll do it with the second boss."
Chen Tianshun's words quickly resonated with the gangsters. They all expressed their attitudes excitedly, and their voices became much louder due to their anger.
"Shh, keep your voice down!" The woman looked around and quickly stopped the shouts of the bandits.
"Brothers, let's hide for a day or two. When the news passes, we can find another way out." Chen Tianshun whispered, and then motioned for everyone to return to the cellar.
At this moment, a bang suddenly came from the side. This sound seemed particularly loud in the silent night.
"Who is it?" Chen Tianshun stood up immediately after hearing the sound and walked towards the direction of the sound. The other bandits also picked up their swords and followed Chen Tianshun.
Not far in front of Chen Tianshun, Ye Ying and the others were staring at Qi Jiao fiercely. This guy was so excited just now that he punched the tree trunk hard, making a noise that Chen Tianshun heard. to the sound.
It was too late to hide now, so he could only stand there quietly, waiting for Chen Tianshun and his group to come over.
When Chen Tianshun saw Ye Ying and his party, he couldn't help but was stunned. Why was this guy so haunted that he could see him everywhere?
Ye Ying also looked at Chen Tianshun quietly. They had not seen each other for only two days. This bandit leader who was still high-spirited before had become very depressed. His beard and hair were very messy, and even the scars on his face seemed to fade. No more light.
Chen Tianshun looked at Ye Ying, then at Qi Jiao and the others next to him. His heart felt as cold as freezing point. He had seen the skills of these people that day. Chen Tianshun knew that even if he had a few more people, he would still be no match for the few people in front of him.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianshun looked bitter. He didn't expect that he could not escape the fate of being caught even though he had been hiding in Tibet these days. At this time, his heart was full of unwillingness and despair.
The bandits behind Chen Tianshun also discovered Ye Ying and the four others. They picked up the swords in their hands and were about to rush forward to fight, but were stopped by Chen Tianshun with a wave of his hand. He did not want these brothers to sacrifice their lives in vain.
Ye Ying didn't say a word. Qi Jiao and others behind him were standing there motionless? After two days of searching, everyone saw and heard sympathy for the bandits, and several people's views on the bandits in Yunze Village have changed.
The reason why Qi Jiao hit the tree trunk just now was because she heard the bandits' words and the tragic experiences of these bandits, which made Qi Jiao, who has a straightforward personality, unable to control her emotions because of the unfair experiences of the bandits.
The scene fell into a strange silence. The two groups who had been fighting for life and death two days ago actually stood silently facing each other.
"You have killed so many of us, and now only these few brothers are left. I will go with you, can you let them go?" After standing still for a long time, Chen Tianshun finally spoke.
"No, I'll go with you. Let him go. He's not a bad person. Please." The woman rushed over at some point. As she spoke, she was about to kneel down to Ye Ying and others, but He was grabbed by Chen Tianshun.
"What they want to arrest is a bandit. Why would they arrest you, a woman? Besides, if I have to rely on a woman to save my life, I, Chen Tianshun, might as well wipe my own neck." Chen Tianshun said while holding the woman.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ying still didn't say a word, but at this time his mood was not at all calm.
"You guys let the second boss and sister-in-law go, I'll go with you!"
At this time, one of the bandits also figured out the current situation, and he said from the side.
"Let the second master and sister-in-law go, and I will go with you."
"I'll go with you too."
…
Upon seeing this, the other bandits also spoke one after another, saying that they would trade themselves for Chen Tianshun and the other two, but none of them chose to back down.
At this time, Ye Ying still didn't say a word. It seemed that he was thinking about something. Qi Jiao and others found it very strange, but they did not ask questions, and just looked at Ye Ying quietly.
"These bandits are so cunning. I don't know where they are hiding. Let's go back!" Ye Ying said suddenly, turned around and was about to go back.
After listening to Ye Ying's words, Qi Jiao, Shan Fu, and Zhao Hu looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, after searching all night, I have already come to sleep. Go back and have a good sleep!" Qi Jiao also said loudly, and then took steps.
"Let's go! Let's go! Go back to sleep." Shan Fu also said something and followed Ye Ying.
Although Zhao Hu didn't speak, he had already expressed his attitude with his actions, because he was the first to follow Ye Ying.
"Let's have a good sleep today, and we will surround the village tomorrow. I don't believe these bandits can disappear." After walking a few steps away, Ye Ying suddenly said something louder.
The figures of Ye Ying and others quickly disappeared into the night, and the bandits who were standing aside suddenly came to their senses, and this time they finally saved their lives.
"Let's go! Time is running out. Sanniang will come with us. Just bring something valuable." Chen Tianshun was the first to react. Although there were still a few hours before dawn, he still hoped to leave earlier. This is the wrong place.
Early the next morning, Ye Ying led all his soldiers and searched the small village with great fanfare. Chen Tianshun and others had already left, so of course they could not find anything. Then he pretended to gather everyone in the village together and inquired in detail one by one. However, there was still no clue, so he had to leave with his soldiers "disappointed".
The new barracks had only been established for less than half a year, but they actually wiped out the bandits who had been entrenched in Miyunze for more than 20 years and killed the bandit leader Kuang Zhaolei. This was a great achievement.
The battalion commander, Cao Zhen, reported all the meritorious personnel to the superiors. It didn't take long for the imperial court's rewards to be awarded. The Daning court also specially sent a third-grade official to the new barracks. Not only did he deliver a lot of property, but he also personally read out the court's commendations to the new barracks.
However, Ye Ying, who bravely broke into Zeyun Village, drew the terrain map, and fought desperately to stop the enemy in the back mountain, did not receive any reward. Even the soldiers in Lizhong who were with him seemed to have been forgotten by the superiors.
Well-intentioned people knew about this, but there was nothing they could do about it. Even Cao Zhen, the battalion commander, had no choice but to comfort Ye Ying that there would be many opportunities in the future.
Regarding this situation, Ye Ying knew that it must be Sima Chi's fault, but he said nothing and even stopped the aggrieved Qi Jiao and others.
After a period of time, life returned to calm, and every day was spent in training. It's just that Ye Ying and his soldiers have trained more diligently than before, because in this battle they fully realized that the key to not being killed by the enemy on the battlefield is to have strong skills on their own. ability.
This incident made Ye Ying completely lose his longing for life in the military camp. He thought that such a dull military life would last for a long time, but just two months later, something happened that made Ye Ying enter a period of... New life experiences.
