Bidding farewell to the people of Black Tiger Mountain, Lin Yue stepped on the flying sword and turned back to the city, and went to the banquet after nightfall, the little nobles of Yuanzhou were very enthusiastic about Lin Yue, and some even pulled him to sell their daughters, Lin Yue shirked the entertainment while eating and drinking, and received a lot of benefits tonight, and there will be a dinner tomorrow night, and he can receive a benefit again.

And at this moment, in a mansion, dressed in wealth, with a round body, the man like the lord looked panicked, panting and running, and came to the garden in a panic.

He cried out in horror and despair: "Come on, help!"

A thunderbolt streaked across the night sky, and two black shadows were unusually conspicuous under the electric light, it was a man and a woman who had just come to the city and covered their faces with hats. In the end, the rich old man could not escape his life, and with the thunder, a slight drizzle gradually fell.

The male voice said: "I thought that this rich land in Yuanzhou could be somewhat peaceful, but I didn't expect the power of resentment to be so strong. ”

The female voice said: "The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, there is a lot of dirt under the splendor, and the things of the world are not decided only by the rich and the poor and the foolish, this Yuanzhou has a lot of dirt and dirt, before the people of the Wang family find the door, we can still do a few votes." The male voice nodded, and the figures of the two disappeared into the night rain.

……

The banquet was over, Lin Yue told Su Shun about his preparation for the inclusion of Black Tiger Mountain, although Su Shun knew that Lin Yue had made up his mind, but he still asked kindly: "My lord, are you really determined to do this? Originally, your fief could be replaced with a lot of fertile land, but the place in Black Tiger Mountain is too barren, even if you add the place under the mountain, but this year's income is ......."

Lin Yue just replied: "Do I need money?"

Su Shun opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, after all, Lin Yue was a cultivator, and he didn't attach much importance to the wealth, fame and fortune in the world, so this fief should take care of these refugees.

The next day, Lin Yue heard a little ear, as if a large family had died, and only one head of the family had died. Relatives in the backyard wept bitterly. The murderer knocked everyone else unconscious, and the next day it was no different except for the death of a master.

However, Lin Yue was not in charge of torture, so he didn't ask too much, while asking Su Shun to prepare to send troops, he went to the gentry's dinner party, compared to the noble family, these big families are obviously more open, after all, the former still has to hold their own shelves.

Of course, there is no link to sell their daughters, the difference is that these gentry know that their identity is not enough, so they have increased their bargaining chips, and some even said that as long as Lin Yue is willing to be their son-in-law, they can give half of their net worth to their daughters as a dowry.

Lin Yue once again deeply realized the role of identity, and also understood how those who are eager to change their status are at any cost.

However, Lin Yue did not do much other thoughts, and one day Su Shun had gathered the army, and the group came to Anling County, Anling County Lieutenant learned that Lin Yue came to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, and had to come out to work in the army, originally a few years ago, the situation was good, the imperial court still has subsidies for local bandits, and the Anling County Lieutenant is also happy to have a black tiger village that does not make much trouble and can make extra money, and now the Holy Maiden Sect has beaten the north to a piece of erosion, and the court has long been unable to make ends meet。 Although the county lieutenant of Anling has the intention to crusade, the power of Heihu Mountain has been rooted for a long time, and there are thousands of people in the cottage, although most of them are women and children, but there are also many strong men, and there are only a few people under him, so he dispelled his idea.

Suddenly heard that Lin Yue was preparing to crusade against this gang of bandits, and the county lieutenant of Anling was naturally overjoyed, but when he saw the labor army, there were a total of 500 soldiers, old and young, crooked appearance, and all the weapons were not available, so this can also fight?

As if seeing the thoughts of the county lieutenant of Anling, Su Shun hurriedly said: "My lord, don't look at our small number, but led by the chief soldier, this small black tiger village is nothing, at the beginning, our general soldier only brought more than 1,000 people to drive the demon sect tens of thousands of people away." ”

The county lieutenant of Anling nodded, well, as long as the battle record is not a false report, maybe Lin Yue can really take the Black Tiger Village in one fell swoop, and he will put aside his doubts at the moment and entertain the soldiers with wine and meat.

And these soldiers are not so relieved, originally the general army arranged to send troops, everyone was shocked, all the people who could be transferred from Yuanzhou went to the northern battlefield, what are the rest Everyone knows, suppress bandits? One by one, they almost hugged their own door frames and didn't want to come out, Su Shun repeatedly assured that there was no danger in coming out this time, everyone still had military merits and rewards, these people were still not happy, less than 100 people responded to the call for the first time, Lin Yue directly ordered that all those above eighteen and under forty years old should respond, otherwise they would be punished according to the crime of desertion, so the number of people was brought together to more than three or four hundred people, and then some old people and teenagers who had no income on weekdays were added, and they just made up enough five hundred people to kill at the foot of Black Tiger Mountain. Although they are all soldiers, these soldiers have really never seen a battle at all. As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I saw that the bandits on the mountain had prepared, and they also set up a formation of more than 500 people.

Su Shun said: "Brothers, how can we be officers and soldiers who can let the bandits be frightened, and call me up." ”

So more than a thousand people up and down the mountain began to make louder voices than others, which was not like a match, but more like a song. Lin Yue squinted his eyes and sighed: "What kind of battle is this......" Although he had been prepared, these soldiers were just pulled around by themselves to go through the motions, but this was too disappointing.

The two sides shouted and cursed for a while, and shot a few inaccurate arrows, the men and horses of Black Tiger Mountain were defeated, Lin Yue waved his spear and attacked the whole army, all the way to the gate of the cottage, Lin Yue pushed to the gate of the cottage with a palm in the air.

The whole cottage suddenly fell down a big flag, and the white flag indicating surrender was raised, and at this time I couldn't see that there was a ghost in this matter, so there was really a ghost.

After that, the matter was simple, after being surrendered and captured, and then looking for the Anling County Lieutenant to divide the real estate, the Anling County Lieutenant knew that the joint attack on the bandits was for people to see, but he didn't plan to say more, after all, the military exploits were real, and he even thought of going to death row to take a few heads as the bandit leader.

These soldiers also shouted pity, they knew that they wouldn't be so nervous, and they didn't eat the wine and meat before, Lin Yue didn't care about them, and just rewarded them with two small dollars. There were not many fields on the Black Mountain, and the land below the mountain was enough for these people to support themselves, and there were not only farmers but also craftsmen among the thousands, but they had nowhere to play on the mountain, but now they had official status, and they could work and buy and sell their goods in large quantities.

As for the identity of the people in the original cottage, according to the convention, the mountain bandits who were exterminated and captured or the family members of the mountain bandits were all reduced to slaves, but Lin Yue had no such plan, so he declared them all according to the civilians, which was more cumbersome, after all, there were thousands of people, but with Wu Yan and Su Shun to do it, Lin Yue was also happy to be idle, and there were five hundred strong men in the cottage who were incorporated into the military camp, which greatly increased the military strength of Yuanzhou.

However, Lin Yue had a little more tail in front of him, and Lei Daren's daughter Lei Fang also entered the barracks and was incorporated into Lin Yue's personal guards, and Lin Yue also persuaded: "Why should the girl's family go to the barracks to suffer." ”

Lei Fang looked firm when he arrived: "When the chief soldier was in Taoguan, he was not also a woman. When she mentioned Chai Shengnan, Lin Yue couldn't refute it, so he could only go with her.

It took three days of hard work to finally arrange everything, Lin Yue began to do nothing every day, the injuries on his body still need time to recuperate, and the Taishi Uncle who fell into a deep sleep in his body didn't know when he would wake up, and all he could do at present was wait.

In the afternoon of this day, Lin Yue was about to take a nap, and Lei Fang, who was a personal guard, came in and said, "Chief soldier, there is a sister who asks to see you." ”

"Sister, who?"

She didn't say anything, she was just anxious to see you. ”

"Okay, you call her in. ”

Waiting for Lei Fang to bring the person in front of him, Lin Yue smiled and said, "Isn't this Tao Yao's sister, well, what's wrong with your face." ”

It turned out to be Tao Yao, the maid of the Duke of Dingnan's Mansion, and there were still two bleeding scratches on her face, and she said with a crying voice: "Lord Commander......"

"Wait, you come here first. Lin Yue looked at it, it was just a simple nail scratch, he silently ran the Water Spirit Immortal Technique, a dark blue halo flashed in the palm of his hand, and Tao Yao's face was completely restored.

Lei Fang blinked on the side, for his decision to be Lin Yue's guard was even firmer, two days ago when the two fought, Lei Fang knew that Lin Yue was powerful, in her opinion, Lin Yue was like a boundless sea, it was simply unfathomable, instead of groping for cultivation, it was better to let him be his own reference, as for asking for advice and apprenticeship, Lin Yue was the 'culprit' of his master's family leaving, Miss Lei would not forgive him, Lei Fang thought.

Lin Yue said: "Okay, what do you have to say, could it be that someone is bullying you." ”

Tao Yao originally came in with a belly of words, but when the words came to an end, she didn't know how to say them, muttering in her mouth, as if she was looking for an angle to expand the topic, her little face was bulging, these words were held in her mouth, but she couldn't say it, and finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and said to Lin Yue: "Brother Lin, can you marry my young lady?"

Lin Yue: "Hmm???"
