"Don't be so polite, it's just a misunderstanding!" Luo Tian waved his hand at Zhi Qingke and said.

After a pause, Luo Tian continued: "Just call me Luo Tian, see that you are not much older than me, you really don't have to be so polite." ”

Zhi Qingke was stunned for a moment, and said haha: "Then I'll call you Xiaotian, it seems that the old saying is true, the stronger the person, the more restrained." ”

Zhi Qingke said, turning his head to look at Xiao Ash.

Luo Tian didn't explain anything, and then the white-haired old man walked up to Luo Tian, arched his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you Shaoxia for saving my granddaughter from fire and water, I am very grateful." ”

"The old man is polite, and if you change someone else, you will do the same thing as me. Luo Tian replied politely.

In this case, the two young men sat down with the old man in the lecture hall, and the old man had important matters to discuss. Then the old man led the group to a slightly larger wooden house.

As for Xiao Gray, Luo Tian told it to find a hidden place to hide, first, for fear that it would scare the villagers, and secondly, to let it stand guard, after all, wolves are animals that can play their strengths better at night.

After entering the wooden house, the old man sat on the main seat, Xiao Yu stood next to the old man, the rest of the people sat below, and Luo Tian and Zhi Qingke sat in the two positions under the main seat.

Luo Tian learned that the old man was the village chief of this village, who had been in power for more than 50 years, was highly respected, and was an out-and-out good village head.

And this village is called Tranquility Village, in the process of collective discussion, we learned that several villages near Tranquility Village have been ransacked by bandits, and the people of the government not only did not go to crusade, but waited for those thieves to ransack the village, and then went to the village to rob again.

The village of Tranquility was ransacked this morning, and most of the villagers were arrested. And the people here are the only ones who survived this sack......

After hearing these things, Zhi Qingke was furious, and he wanted to kill all those who did all the evil things immediately.

Luo Tian was much calmer, because he had seen too many such things during his time as a soldier, and it was not surprising that he had seen many of them.

The old village chief who was in the main seat bowed slightly to Luo Tian and Zhi Qingke, and then said: "Two young heroes, thank you for your help today, the old man is grateful." But it also brings trouble to the two of them, the people of the government will not stand idly by, and the bandit will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, for fear that the two of them will be dragged down by us!"

Before Luo Tian could speak, Zhi Qingke spoke first: "Old man, don't worry about my safety." I'm a ronin, and neither the bandits nor the government can do anything about me. You can be safe, maybe I can help you eradicate the scourge, and then I will wander the world, and no one can help me. ”

And the old village chief sighed lightly: "I really don't dare to drag you down." Now they are not only burning, killing and looting, but also constantly arresting people. It's not just the thieves, but the government is no exception, how dare the old man involve the two benevolent fathers again!"

Luo Tian, who came out of the army, heard the words of the old village chief and felt very disdainful of the government's approach. Although the government that knew some things in the past would extort the people and collect money everywhere, Luo Tian, as an army, couldn't pay attention to these things.

And now that he is free, of course he wants to manage what he can manage, not because of how noble Luo Tian's thoughts are, but because he is simply unaccustomed to it.

The old village chief had no choice but to pin his hopes on Luo Tian and Zhi Qingke, and the group was discussing the next thing.

Luo Tian asked, "Old man, do you know where the bandit's base camp is?"

The reason why Luo Tian asked this is because no matter how bad the government is, it also belongs to the kingdom organization, and it is extremely unwise to rashly act against the government, so he can only start from the side of the bandits.

The old village chief also knew what Luo Tian meant by saying this, so he pondered for a while and said, "I don't know where the specific direction is, but I know that there are two possibilities: one is Erlong Mountain on the left side of the village, and the other is on Liantang Mountain on the right side of the village. ”

So everyone discussed a countermeasure, Luo Tian was responsible for going to Erlong Mountain, and Zhiqing Ke was going to Liantang Mountain. Of course, it was just a scout, and I came back to discuss countermeasures again.

"Okay, without further ado, let's go right away!" Zhi Qingke said through gritted teeth, eager to find the thief's bad luck right away.

The old village chief hurriedly said: "Slow and slow, little brother, don't worry." Both of these mountains are steep and the roads are so intricate that it's the middle of the night, and it's hard for the eyes to see. Why don't you set off early tomorrow morning, it won't be so dangerous. ”

Zhi Qingke was about to refute, but unexpectedly, a young man came outside, walking in a hurry, and shouted: "Oh no, no, no, outside... There are a lot of officers and soldiers outside, are they coming... Quite a few people!"

Hearing the young man's breathless words, everyone's faces changed greatly, and the old village chief ordered everyone to hide, and then walked towards the entrance of the village.

Luo Tian and Zhi Qingke glanced at each other, and seemed to be sure of each other's thoughts, so they followed the old village chief out.

After shuttling through the dense bamboo forest for a while, I came to the hiding place of Little Ash.

Seeing Xiao Gray's eyes showing a fierce light and roaring, Luo Tian pressed Xiao Ash's head, signaled Xiao Ash not to be impulsive, and looked at the entrance of the village with Zhi Qingke.

At the entrance of the village, there was only one old village chief standing, and facing each other was a group of officers and soldiers who came in a hurry, numbering about fifty people. The three men in front rode horses and wore officer uniforms. The officers and men behind stood crookedly with torches in their hands.

The officer who was riding a horse at the front looked at the old village chief and said in a loud voice: "I am Feng Ying, an officer from the official government, I am here to recruit people tonight, hurry up and gather all of you over, I want to count the number of people!"

"There is no one in our village! There are only some old, weak, sick and disabled left, please let us go!" the old village chief cried sadly, looking very miserable.

"Fart!" said the soldier standing next to him holding a torch, "There were a lot of people we came over last night!"

Colonel Feng Ying glared at him, and the little soldier realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth and stepped aside.

"No, no, let the bandit catch it. "The old village chief is still begging for mercy.

"Do it!" An officer on a horse next to him didn't want to be verbose anymore, and waved his hand to signal the officers and soldiers behind him to enter the village to search for people.

Hearing this, the old village chief's face changed, and he knelt down and pleaded.

The two people and one beast hidden in the bamboo forest on the side seemed to be about to rush out. Luo Tian pressed Zhi Qingke's shoulder, signaled him not to be impulsive, and then whispered to him: "If we rush out like this, they will think that we are from the village." Sooner or later, we will leave, and then the village will be finished!"

Luo Tian continued to hurriedly say: "It's better to do this, let's go around behind the officers and soldiers, kill one or two more of them and run away." Anyway, we have nothing to worry about, and wandering the world is better than harming the people in the village. ”

Zhi Qingke nodded solemnly, he also agreed with Luo Tian's statement, and then led the way in front......
