Looking at the scene where every household was looted, Fang Ming couldn't bear it, there was no food, and asked these people how to survive the winter. In front of all the villagers, he asked Niu Lie to give Li Zheng a thousand taels of silver tickets and let him distribute them to everyone.

"Ang Lee, tell your brothers to go out and investigate, and it's best to find out the bandits' lair. After pacifying the villagers, Fang Ming instructed Li An, this is not a murder case, there is no need to detect, just find the bandits' lair, and then decide the next move according to the scale of the thief, this kind of work is still in the hands of the scouts.

"Yes, my lord. Li An took the order and went down to make arrangements.

I don't know why, Fang Ming felt faintly uneasy in his heart, what was the problem?

......

When Fang Ming and the others were inspecting Zhangjiabao, according to Wulaofeng, thirty miles east of this place, several new houses were built, and the main house was inside.

"Master, the spies have come to report that Fang Ming has arrived at Zhangjiabao with his subordinates. A masked warrior knelt on the ground to report the report, carrying a bow and arrows and a steel sword at his waist.

"Got it, are you ready?" sat a woman on the main seat, wearing a veil and a graceful figure.

"It's all ready, just waiting for them to fall into the net, but—" The samurai grimaced.

"Let's get straight to the point!" the woman was impatient.

"Tie Lao, they haven't arrived yet. ”

"I know, now I'm ready to send it, let's go down. The woman nodded in satisfaction.

"Do you have to do this?" a low male voice came from the corner, and there was a hint of hesitation in his tone, because the person was standing in the shadows, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Look at you now, it's only been a month, and you've made yourself a person, a ghost, and a ghost, where is there still half a bit of grace. How did he treat you? Even a soldier knows more than you do, and yet you are so faithful to him. Hearing this, the woman turned her head and complained.

"However, after all, he helped me break through to the current realm. The man hesitated.

"Hehe, didn't he get paid too? Not to mention that you and your uncle gave him tens of thousands of taels of silver before and after, just a recipe for fertilizer is worth 100,000 taels of silver?" the woman sneered.

The man was silent, although he was smart and clever, but since he was a child, his family was well-off, he had not experienced the hardships of the world, and he did not know the people's needs for food, but he only knew that the 100,000 taels of silver were obtained by his father begging his uncles, and the silver that his father gave him before and after was a year's income of the family.

But he didn't know that the benefits brought by chemical fertilizers were far more than 100,000 taels.

"Also, listening to the meaning of these big-headed soldiers, there is nothing difficult for him to help others break through, it is nothing more than the loss of a little internal strength, and the cultivation can be recovered in a few days, and you have already cleared up. The woman was relieved.

"But, after all, he is my lord." The man crouched down with his head in his hands.

"Lord Princess, when all these people are dealt with, who knows about this matter. Also, if it weren't for him for the matter of taxes and silver last time, the Holy Sect people wouldn't need to worry about their livelihood now, there are so many brothers in Yufeng Hall and Huiwen Hall, have you forgotten these hatreds?" It was because he discovered our secret, which led to a great loss of the strength of the Holy Sect, and the Sect Master had to make a concession and give up the qualification to enter the Holy Land to the people of the Han family in exchange for the safety of the Yuzhou Sect, otherwise, how could you be deprived of your qualification to enter the Holy Land, this is what he owes you. ”

"This," the man had nothing to say, was this the reason why he couldn't enter the Holy Land to practice, he was wrong to blame the sect leader. In this way, he really doesn't owe Fang Ming anything.

"The most important thing is that he doesn't value you so much, given time, no, maybe it won't be long before Li Hu can surpass you, in just one year, he has changed from a martial artist with no grade to a third-grade master today, in the future."

"Don't say it, don't say it!" the man roared loudly, clearly unable to tolerate being overtaken by someone he had looked down on since childhood.

"You are the strongest, why are you inferior in front of others, flattery, in my mind, you are a man who stands up to the sky, and no one can be better than you in this world. Glancing at the man, the woman's tone was complaining, her expression was aggrieved, and she looked pitiful.

"I, I have lived up to your expectations." The man closed his eyes in pain.

"Don't do this, I'm willing to do anything for you!" the woman stepped forward, took the initiative to hug the man, and rested her head on his chest.

"Xuanji, what you did for me, I know it, in this life, I will live up to you!" The man hugged the woman in both hands, comforting words, his eyes were full of tenderness, for fear that the sweetheart in front of him would be wronged at all.

"Brother Qing!" the woman called out the man's name in a coquettish voice.

It turned out that these two people were Li Yunqing and Xuanji, who had disappeared for a long time.

Under Xuanji's many efforts and stimulation, Li Yunqing finally decided to betray Fang Ming and help Xuanji avenge the brothers of the Holy Sect.

At this moment, Li Yunqing, who was immersed in Xuanji's tenderness, did not find that the face of the person in his arms was not happy and satisfied, and the eyes were as fierce and vicious as a poisonous snake that did not hunt its prey in March, and there were tears of longing in the corners of his eyes.

"Senior Brother Liu, today's situation, I have deduced it dozens of times, even if there is no omission, Fang Ming is absolutely dead, I will definitely be able to kill him to avenge your hatred!"

At the time of the unitary, according to the information found by his subordinates, Fang Ming and his party rushed to the Wulao Peak Pass.

"Lord, Wang Hua, they should be inside. Ang Lee said.

It turned out that Wang Hua, Ma Wei, Zhang Heng, and Zhao Sheng followed the traces on the road, chased all the way to the five old peaks, and after lurking in, they found signs of human and horse activity inside, Wang Hua sent Zhang Heng and Zhao Sheng back to report, and he and Ma Wei continued to monitor inside.

"Well, it's getting dark, send a few clever brothers to scout the way ahead, pay attention to safety, and watch out for the bandits' sentry. The others followed and walked slowly, taking care not to startle the snake. Fang Ming commanded.

"Wow!" Li An took the order and arranged for people to go.

Fang Ming took the opportunity to take out the map and observe the surrounding terrain.

The five old peaks are five connected mountains, not too high, similar to the pentagonal distribution, the main peak is in the northernmost direction, and the two peaks at the entrance are in the southernmost direction, and the distance between these two peaks is relatively close, almost next to each other. The two peaks inside are far away, forming a plain in the valley, it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the north of Wulao Peak is the Xiaosha River that runs through the entire Yuncheng County, the river is turbulent, it is impossible to cross the boat, and there is no bridge nearby, which is suitable for being a bandit's nest.

"Let's go. After everyone was ready, Fang Ming ordered.

......

Everyone was groping all the way forward, it was already dark, and they didn't dare to expose it, so the speed was relatively slow, just a section of the mountain road, and walked for half an hour before they met Wang Hua and Ma Wei.

Fang Ming took Li An and the two of them to climb to a hidden commanding height to observe the enemy's situation.

The bandits' den was built about fifty zhang away in front, and there were torches everywhere, and the light was clear, and there were more than twenty thatched huts, a large wooden house, which should be the chief's house, and the whole camp had a circle of walls made of log poles, and a simple gate, which was not tall, and there were two people guarding the door.

"When Ma Wei and I arrived, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the group of people had not finished distributing the food, they were all standing in the courtyard waiting, and after working hard all afternoon to distribute the food, most of them went back to the house and never came out, except for a few guards who were in rotation, there was no other movement. Moreover, the houses and walls are newly built, so I think they should not have been here for long. Wang Hua reported on the situation observed in the afternoon.

"Didn't they grab the food last night? Fang Ming was puzzled.

"Perhaps, these people are sleeping in the house in the morning. Wang Hua thought about it, and this was the only possibility.

"Anything else?"

"No, there was smoke in every room just now, as if they were all living and cooking. Ma Wei added.

"Ang Li, in your opinion, what is the strength of these people?" Fang Ming asked Ang Li again.

"Lord, this road is unusually smooth, I haven't encountered any sentry, according to the experience of my subordinates, this group of people should be refugees who fled from somewhere, and they just became bandits, and they were very hungry before they attacked, and Li Zheng also said that their blades are seriously insufficient. Li Ang analyzed, this group of people is too tender, full of flaws, and they are definitely not veterans.

That's all that can be explained. Can those two janitors be eliminated at the same time?"

"It's not difficult, get closer, just use a bow and arrow. ”

"Okay, everyone rest for a quarter of an hour, and then start attacking. Find two of the best archery skills, solve the doorman, the others, two people in a room, quietly touch in and tie people up to me, if you resist, kill on the spot. You, Li Hu, and the Niu brothers, follow me into the bandit's leader's house and have a look. Fang Ming instructed Li An.

A quarter of an hour later, the crowd began to stoop forward.

When they were thirty feet away from the gate, Li An and Wang Hua drew their bows at the same time, and when they heard the sound of "whoosh!", the two thieves at the door were shot in the chest and fell to the ground and died.

"Up!" Fang Ming commanded softly.

Everyone moved forward quickly, and when they arrived at the gate, Li An cut the door bolt with a knife, and everyone entered in an orderly manner according to the divided group, and then quickly moved to their target and broke in.

Fang Ming took the Li family brothers and the Niu family brothers to rush to the bandit leader's house.

"Bang!", Li Hu kicked the door open, and the two Li brothers rushed in at the same time, and Erniu was outside to protect Fang Ming.

"My lord, you can come in. Fang Ming was still observing the situation in the other rooms, and Li An's voice came from inside.

After Fang Ming entered, he found that in addition to the Li family brothers, there was only a man in his forties, kneeling in front of Li An with a panicked face.

"How is it?" Fang Ming walked up to Li An and asked about the situation.
