The wind and snow are continuous, and the four fields are vast.

On the official road on the north side of Jinling City, two majestic horses galloped in the wind and snow, and the terrifying speed was terrifying, and the travelers in the roadside wine shop looked at it, and in the blink of an eye, there were only two black spots left in front of them.

Most of the horses in the south of the Yangtze River are not big, and compared with the chasing wind and snow that can be called the king of horses in Mobei, it is said that the mules are a bit lifting. Even if the horse that took care of the nightingale was not speedy, he did not run with all his might.

The galloping horse's hooves carried up the dirt and snow on the ground, and the nightingale sat on a tall horse that did not match his size, his sword hung on the side of the horse, and his body was covered with a black cloak, and his big pigtails flew and pulled in a straight line behind his head, and his eyes were fixed on the road ahead, recounting the information that had just been inquired:

“…… There are about more than 1,000 people in Hongshan Water Village, and the nearby states and counties have sent people to clean up, but they returned because the terrain is too poor, and then it was shelved. This autumn, there was a flood, and the number of displaced people in the south of the Yangtze River surged, and many people fled to Hongshan Shui Village, which evolved into the current scale...... In recent months, Hongshan Shan Zhai has looted everywhere, tied up the sons of more than a dozen families before and after, and extorted millions of dollars......"

Xu Buling held the reins in his hand, his horse lance and blade hung on the weapon hook, and he also had an extra cloak on top of his white robe. Hearing this, he frowned:

"A million taels of silver?"

The nightingale nodded, with a little sigh on her face: "That's right, Jiangnan is different from our Xiliang, those dozen or so families are all small families who are in business, and they directly paid a million taels of silver to ransom people, and they didn't even bargain......

Xu Buling nodded, but he understood what it meant to be 'rich in the world', the twelve states of Xiliang together could not compare to one Hangzhou, it seemed that it was not nonsense.

"What about the others? Is it a homeless or a bandit who has seen blood? ”

The homeless people are still 'people' in essence, and most of them are honest farmers. But once you see blood, the ferocity in your bones is stimulated, and your combat effectiveness will rise sharply, and without the control of military discipline, it is even more dangerous than the people of the rivers and lakes. After all, the people of the rivers and lakes are just to eat, and the bandits who have evolved from the homeless people are often just to vent.

Nightingale pondered: "The number only increased a few months ago, and most of the people are homeless people who steal food and finance in the surrounding area, so it is estimated that there is no ferocity. However, there are more than 300 people in Hongshan Mountain Village itself, who have been entrenched in Hongshan Lake for many years, and the combat power of the people gathered by the rivers and lakes is not bad, and the officers and soldiers cannot defeat it at all. Among them, Sun Qian, the owner of the village, is a famous master in Jiangnan, and there are two brave warriors under him, Quartz and Ma Sihu, and the people who are harmed by Zhongli Jiujiu this time are under Ma Sihu, and it seems that he has taken an aphrodisiac in dinner, which is particularly ......fierce."

Xu Bulu's face was slightly gloomy, and he twitched lightly on the nightingale's ass with a whip: "Let's get down to business." ”

"Oh......" Nightingale pursed her lips and continued: "Because the government in Jiangnan has not been cleared, Sun Gan once recruited An, Sun Gan asked for a military official at that time, but the imperial court strictly forbade recruiting bandits, and in the end it was over. However, judging from this matter, Sun Qian still wants to clear his ......."

Xu Buling nodded lightly: "Who can clear the name of a bandit who wants to be a bandit who licks blood from the knife edge, taking advantage of the famine to gather so many displaced people, I am afraid that he also wants to test the pressure of the government and change a recruitment order." ”

The nightingale thought for a moment and asked, "Childe, do you want me to transfer the Xiang army in Jiangnan and level Hongshan Lake?" ”

Xu Buling was a little helpless: "I am a prince of the vassal king, and I have to take the tiger talisman from my father to transfer troops in Suzhou. ”

Military power was an absolute taboo in that era, and even the crown prince would not dare to transfer troops without authorization, let alone the prince.

Nightingale thought about it too, frowned, and said, "What then?" Childe killed more than a thousand bandits alone? ”

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Buling is a thousand, it is not impossible to kill a thousand people before they are tired and die, but the bandit village of more than 1,000 people must have bows and crossbows, and it is impossible for one person to kill them cleanly. He shook his head and said:

"We're here to save people, not to suppress bandits, let's take a look at the situation first."

Nightingale was still a little disappointed when she heard this, and let out a soft 'oh'......

--------

Hundreds of miles away, in the deep mountains and dense forests on the east side of Hongshan Lake, snowflakes fell on the mountain road covered with pine needles, and a small sparrow flew over the light branches, looking at the water bandits like ant colonies below, holding knives and guns to find between caves and withered grass, and from time to time a few angry words came out:

"Stinky, come out to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will chop you alive......"

"Dog's day, lose all conscience......"

"Bah, you have a kind of ...... for Lao Tzu"

Hysterical scolding can be heard everywhere in the mountains.

The three masters of Hongshan Shui Village, wrapped in animal skin coats, stepped on smooth pine needles with boots, and kept stabbing the grass in the woods with long knives, even if two days have passed, their faces are still pale.

The night before yesterday, the village received a ransom and wine, meat and food from a large household, because this transaction was made by Ma Sihu, so he and his subordinates held a 'celebration banquet'.

Ma Sihu is also a good hand in the rivers and lakes, licking blood at the knife edge is very wary of eating, and he has tested in advance that it is obviously not poisonous, how can he think of a few mouthfuls of wine and meat, the brothers are crazy, and they have done all the disgusting things together, and when he came to his senses, he still hugged his master, and scared the poor old scholar so much that he peed on his crotch.

Such a shameful humiliation, how can Ma Sihu be good, let alone write provocations on the gate of the water village. If it weren't for the two stinky girls running fast, they would have to be skinned and cramped and hung on the gate of the stockade.

However, it is also strange to say, Hongshan Shan Zhai poured out of the nest, directly blocked this mountain and searched it, the terrain of the water village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one exit, unless the two women swim away from the lake in winter, it is impossible to run. It's a pity that thousands of people took turns searching in the mountains and fields for two days, but they didn't find their whereabouts, and it was as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Ma Sihu is engaged in the business of licking blood from the knife edge, never believing in evil, all he can do at the moment is to keep looking until he finds the evil spirit in his heart.

And on a big stone about half a mile away from Ma Sihu, Zhongli Jiujiu was dressed in a robe made of dry grass, and Zhongli Chuchu, who was also dressed up, lay together, holding his chin boredly, looking in the direction of Jinling in the distance, and said quietly:

"Chu Chu, you said that you have no conscience, why can't you pay it back? It's been two days, and the news should also reach Jinling, I don't treat him well, and the chain dragon Gu has been given to him......"

Zhongli Chuchu's body was covered with a thin layer of snow, and he rubbed it lightly with the jade pendant, and said helplessly:

"Master, I said that he won't care about us, what's the point of bullying this group of fools, you might as well poison them and kill them for the people."

Zhongli Jiujiu sighed faintly: "There are more than a thousand people, there are still meat tickets in it, and I am not a cold-blooded woman, how can I sleep after I am completely poisoned?" I can't get over it with my conscience......"

"Then you don't need to take aphrodisiacs...... Zhongli Chuchu said this, and he shuddered, his green eyes full of disgust: "I'm sick to death." ”

"What do you know, whether it is the people or the people of the rivers and lakes, they all like to hear this kind of shocking thing. It won't be long before you believe it or not, even the Western Regions can hear about this, and our master and apprentice will be famous all over the world. ”

“……”

Zhongli Chuchu had nothing to say, and always felt that this reputation was not very pleasing......

Thank you for the reward of the big guy!
