Chapter 362: Traitorous Party Affairs
The distance of five or six steps was only a blink of an eye for a top martial artist in the empire like Meng Tian, so even the boss of these robbers, he was the one with the highest martial arts among the eight people, but he didn't see how his throat was grabbed by the person opposite at once.
"Don't move, all of you. Sensing that the brothers around him wanted to come forward to save him, the boss hurriedly waved his hand and signaled them not to come forward.
"Yes, you seem to be a bit smart. Meng Tian smiled at the corner of his mouth, he looked at the other seven people around him, although the fire in the courtyard was not very bright, but the fear in the eyes of these people, Meng Tian could still feel it. "You don't have to worry, I don't really want to kill you, if I really want to do something to you, I'm afraid you won't even have the qualifications to enter this courtyard. β
After Meng Tian said this, ten soldiers of the Meng family army came out of the shadows, each holding a crossbow unique to the Qin army, and the crossbow arrows on it glittered under the reflection of the firelight, aiming at this group of robbers.
Although the boss also had a weapon in his hand, he still didn't dare to make a move at this time, and the hand of the mysterious master on the other side grabbed his throat tightly, and he only needed a light force to crush his throat. "You...... Who are you...... Who is it?"
Meng Tian retracted his eyes, looked at the robber boss, and said to him, "You don't have to pay attention to who I am, I have heard everything you just said." Even though you are robbers, if it had been yesterday, I am afraid you would not have even had a chance to see me. Since you came to the door today, and I happen to be interested in you, I can break the vow and let you go today, but ......"
"Tell me, what do you want, or what do you want to know?" the robber boss instantly understood the other party's intentions and quickly spoke.
Meng Tian nodded to the Mengjia soldiers who were ambushed around, and the three Mengjia soldiers stepped forward to put away all the weapons of these robbers. It is said that it is a weapon, but in fact, it is just a weapon that is a little better than broken copper and iron, and there is even a spear, the tip of the spear on it is almost rounded, and the barrel of the gun is also pitted, I don't know where it was picked up.
The "Boom Lala......" weapon was thrown into a corner of the courtyard, and Meng Tian also let go of his hand, allowing the robber boss to breathe a sigh of relief.
The robbers had been disarmed in their own territory, and the robbers had become frightened birds, and they sat together by the fire, looking in horror at the mysterious men with crossbows and long swords at their waists that surrounded them.
The robber boss was quite well-informed, and after being forced to sit down, he glanced at the crossbow of a Mengjia soldier in front of him, and he already understood the identity of these people in front of him. "You are Qin Jun?"
Meng Tian also sat on the ground, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, chewing it gently, then spit out the scraps of grass in his mouth, and said to the robber boss: "You guessed right, we are Qin Jun. β
"I'll just say, how can that group of rebels have the crossbows that can only be distributed in the Qin army, but I think your crossbows seem to be much better than those used by the garrison in Dongjun City, whose subordinates are you in the Qin army?"
"Great Qin Meng's army. Meng Tian didn't speak, it was General Meng who was standing in front of the robber boss.
"Are you the Mengjia Army?" the robber boss looked a little excited, and just as he wanted to stand up, he saw the Mengjia army soldier in front of him aiming the crossbow at his chest again, so he sat back down.
"Yes, I'm Meng Tian. Meng Tian said.
As soon as these words came out, not only the boss of the bandit gang, but also the seven brothers under his command, were stunned almost instantly. Meng Tian, his military exploits are impressive, after His Majesty the Emperor ruled the world, he will sit firmly at the head of the military generals of the Qin State, and the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren are all the ministers of the Qin State, not to mention the powerful Meng family army in the hands of Meng Tian, and list a single name, that is also known to everyone, no one knows, but he was sent to this person tonight, isn't that looking for death?
Thinking of this, everyone was afraid for a while, fortunately they didn't do anything to Meng Tian in the first place, otherwise I am afraid that at this time they would have to lie in the field outside the yard, and what awaits them is probably the sharp teeth of the hungry wild dog. It's no wonder that his boss doesn't even have a chance to make a move in front of people, Meng Tian is not only invincible on the battlefield, but even his own kung fu is the best in the world.
"Meng Tian...... General, why did you come back here and show up at our house?" the boss quickly came back to his senses in shock and asked Meng Tian with the courage to ask.
Meng Tian held a branch in one hand, stirred up the flames in front of him, and said without raising his eyelids: "Don't worry, I won't come all the way to deal with you, as for why I appeared here tonight, it's just that I encountered a torrential rain on the road yesterday and delayed time, so I couldn't reach Dongjun today, so I stayed here for the night." β
It turns out that Meng Tian didn't come to deal with himself, so it would be much better. The eight people who were surrounded by the soldiers of the Meng family army breathed a sigh of relief again.
"I think the general should have come this time mainly for the boulder that fell from the sky two days ago, right?" said the robber boss.
"Yes, this time General Ben came to Dongjun at the behest of His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, and it was also to exterminate the rebels. I just heard you say outside the courtyard that you have dealt with the traitors?" Meng Tian raised his head and looked directly at the eight people with a pair of eyes.
The eight of them were collectively silent at this time, and a sad emotion could be seen on everyone's face.
Seeing that the eight people did not speak, Meng Tian asked again: "I want to know the whereabouts and details of the rebels, if you can help me, I can absolve you of your sins, and even give you a place to live." What do you think if what you say is going to work for me?"
The robber boss didn't think about it after hearing Meng Tian's words, so he spoke directly.
It turned out that the robber boss was called Li Qing, who was originally a robber in the mountains outside Dongjun, and later became a third-in-command in the cottage because he knew how to do a few kung fu. Although Li Qing and these people are robbers, they never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason, even if they go down the mountain to rob, they rob half of the property of the robbed, unlike other robbers, who are often murderous and overstalking. In this way, Li Qing and the other bandits have made some reputations in the surrounding areas, and the cottage is in the deep mountains, which is not easy to attack, so even the Qin army in Dongjun rarely comes to trouble them.
But that all changed one night two years ago. That night, a group of people came out of nowhere, and they said that they would occupy their cottage, and they would either obey and join them, or they would all be wiped out. The big leader and the second leader relied on their own some kung fu, unwilling to be subservient, but was a strong young man in the group of people, only two moves to smash the big leader's chest, the second leader was kicked by the man, was kicked on the spot How far away, fell to the ground and died I don't know, and finally there was a massacre, the men, women and children in the cottage died in the hands of this group of people, only Li Qing and a few of his brothers were hunting outside, not in the cottage, but when they went back, they found that there was such a big thing in the cottage, and they also understood that they were not the opponents of these people, so they quietly escaped, and then tried to find a way to avenge the big leader, the second leader and the family in the cottageγ
After finishing speaking, Li Qing was such a man who actually wiped his tears, he was also a man with a wife and children, he returned to the cottage, and when he found his wife and children, both of them were lying in a pool of blood. His ten-year-old child, who had the little wooden knife his father had carved for him in his little hand, wanted to protect his mother, was slashed in the chest by a sword, fell to the ground, and died in front of his father.
Not only Li Qing, but also the seven brothers around him, everyone had red eyes, and some of them were still sobbing in low voices.
"So, you've only seen these traitors, but you don't know them?" After listening to what Li Qing said, Meng Tian didn't feel how sad he was, after years of battlefield battles, his heart was already close to being ruthless.
Li Qing stood up, Meng Tian waved his hand, so that the soldiers guarding around him did not stop him, and let Li Qing come to him.
Li Qing looked at Meng Tian and said: "No, General Meng, we have lost our homes and relatives, so we naturally want to avenge them, so we disguised ourselves and blended in among them, and after nearly half a year of lurking, we finally thoroughly explored their details. β
Thinking of the things about the betrayal of the party written in Meng Li's secret letter to him, Meng Tian asked Li Qing: "I want to know, among this group of rebels, is there a leader surnamed Liu?"
Li Qing was taken aback after hearing this, and he asked in surprise, "General, are you...... Did you know?"
"Hehe, of course I know something, no matter how I say that my Meng family army has been confronting them here for two years, if I can't even find out this thing, then how can my Meng family army become an elite division among the millions of Qin troops. Actually, I don't know much, and now I just want to know how much weight this person has in these people, and why this group of rebels has been able to stand up to my people for two years. β
Meng Tian's voice was a little cold, and Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his ears when he heard it.
"We don't know much about this, but we know that this group of people is a traitor in the mountains, but except for the mountains, they are no different from ordinary people, and it is precisely because of this that they can swagger into the city of Dongjun, buy grain in the city and transport it to the mountains, I think there must be something strange in this. Li Qing said that he had also been sent down the mountain to follow others to buy and sell grain at the bottom of the mountain, and he knew a lot about this matter.
"There is such a thing, no wonder it is difficult for Brother Mengli to really eliminate this group of people, it seems that these people are really a little smart. After listening to Li Qing's words, Meng Tian felt a little suddenly enlightened. "Okay, I can give you a chance, as long as you can help me eliminate this group of rebels, I will give you the identity of a normal Qin people, and you will not be blamed for your past sins. What do you think?"
Li Qing and the other seven people were overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Villain General Xie!"
