"I see."

His mind was carried away by anger as if he had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, and even when he woke up for a moment, he did not have time to regret because of a momentary mistake, the reason was naturally that Wang Xingping and his companions did not give this Tusi from the northern border of Yongning enough time.

A dozen or so men fell on the shore, the same brutes who had been cut down on the rafts and fished out of the water, whether dead or alive. The battle on the mountain road also ended in a quarter of an hour, and in addition to the more than a dozen corpses that fell, three were left alive.

Wang Xingping walked in front of the queue like a victor, and several big men in front of him consciously moved out of the way, and at this time, even Master Xu and Suo Nanjianshen, who had been staying on the boat, walked up and reviewed this unexpected victory together.

The Xu brothers didn't need to give way, and they who rushed to the front deserved the highest honor in this battle. Of course, there are also the soldiers of Xifeng, as well as the personal entourage of Gadari and Buddha, this man from the Uszang Plateau has only been hit by two arrows, although it is not too seriously injured, but those who were originally hit by arrows like this should have an additional reward. Xu Qianzhong should also be counted as one, and now the person who falls on the mountain road is dead or alive, and the feather arrows on his body have his share of credit. In terms of archery, he was inferior to Xu Shizhen, but his calmness and insight were even better than those of everyone present. However, the form of the battlefield was finally changed by Wang Xingping's shout, the enemy who fell to the ground can prove it, the enemy who escaped into the mountains and forests can prove it, the dead Xue Siqi can prove it, and the more than ten cavalry monks who rushed to the scene when they heard the warning signal or missed the last credit can also prove it.

"Soldiers, treacherous." Xu Chengming walked up slowly, checked the corpse, and praised with a smile.

"Tiancheng, you can make good use of stratagems to reduce unnecessary casualties, this voice is indeed a clever shout."

Wang Xingping said humbly: "Master Xu has an overreputation, where is the cleverness, it is nothing more than the barbarian soldiers themselves messing up first, and then they will be succeeded by the boy's discord, and the so-called fortress often collapses from the inside." ”

This last sentence was a little unclear, but Xu Chengming understood the meaning of the words after thinking about it, and praised it again: "Thorough." ”

After speaking, he turned back to Xu Qianzhong and said: "Although Tiancheng is a few years younger than you, his visible knowledge is much higher than that of Ruilin, although what you encounter today is just a little cunning, but if you want to go into battle in the future, you still have to use more brains." ”

Xu Qianzhong was only taught, but Wang Xingping smiled and came to Suo Nanjian's side, and said, "Master, the kid still has a reluctant request." ”

Suo Nan Jianshen also smiled: "Now we are friends with Wang Gongzi, and friends can just talk about things directly. ”

Wang Xingping looked at the Shi family's father and son on the boat behind, and turned around and said: "No matter what these thieves are our enemies of, they have nothing to do with the boatman's family, and now the ship's family has suffered this disaster because of us, and they have added losses in vain, which is ............"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Suo Nanjiansan's laughter, "It turns out that it is such a trivial matter, Childe rest assured, the loss of the goods on this ship will be borne by the envoy, and your reward will also be counted on the mission." ”

"Righteousness and courage are within our bounds." Xu was loyal and strong, and he hugged his fists and resigned.

Wang Xingping didn't care, "Brother Xu doesn't have to excuse himself, this is the right thing to do, the kid first thanked the master for Fourth Brother Liao." ”

Liao Si has always been clear about Wang Xingping's affairs, and he was overjoyed when he stood next to him and listened.

Seeing that Xu Qianzhong's face was different, Wang Xingping tried his best to enlighten. "I don't know if Brother Ruilin has read "Lu's Spring and Autumn"."

Wang Xingping was afraid of showing off, so he changed his words and called Xu Qianzhong's expression.

Xu Quanzhong is okay, tell the truth. "Foolish brother is dull, I haven't read this book."

Wang Xingping didn't think about it, and continued: "In the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu Family, there are two stories told about a decree of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, where the people of the Lu State can redeem the people who are slaves and concubines abroad can go to the treasury to get back the corresponding rewards, so that the people of the Lu State can avoid the pain of slavery abroad. ”

Seeing that Wang Xingping hung up the bookbag, Master Xu was listening with interest, and looking at that expression, he seemed to know this section.

"Later, Confucius's student Zigong traveled abroad, and also redeemed many people from various countries, but he was not compensated by the government, he told the master about it, but he was scolded, Brother Ruilin knows why?"

Seeing Xu Qianzhong's blank expression, he waited for a while, and then listened to Master Xu, who was listening to the lecture next to him, half-answered and said to his son: "That's because Zigong's family has money." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Xingping said with a smile: "Yes, Brother Ruilin, do you think, why are ordinary people willing to spend money to ransom people when they encounter this situation outside?" It's not because of the promise made by the king, but if Zigong does this, do other people still have the face to ask for this money? If it were you, and you would encounter a Chinese being taken captive as a slave outside, what would it matter? ”

Xu Qianzhong thought for a while and said, "It's okay for me, it's a bit difficult to change to someone else." ”

"That's why Confucius said that from now on, Lu people will not redeem people."

Suo Nanjian listened to it freshly, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't Wang Gongzi say that there were two stories before?" What else is there to talk about? ”

"That's also a student of the saint."

"Zilu rescued a drowning farmer in the suburbs, and the farmer gave him a cow, and Zilu gladly accepted the gift."

"This time, the master was very happy, and bluntly said that in the future, the Lu people will save the drowning."

Hearing this, Xu Chengming understood what Wang Xingping meant, and said to his son: "Ruilin, you still don't understand what Tiancheng means?" ”

Speaking of which, where can I not understand that I am high and the old lama have pushed and let go, but how can my subordinates be favored?

This story in Wang Xingping's heart has become a familiar allusion to young people since he entered the middle school textbook in his previous life, and there is really nothing to show off, but here and now, the people around him have never heard of it except for the old man Xu, so the effect is surprisingly good.

"Why don't you talk about it first, what do you think of these corpse fifth brothers?" Liao Si got cheap and began to pick up his teeth and sell his belief, and the two brothers behind him hung up some colors, and they also responded at this time. Today's matter, the barbarians who were originally intercepted on the river could be stopped, and it was also a blind collusion of several military men, and then Wang Xingping's intention would be chased to the shore.

"That's right, I don't know where these people came from."

Wang Xingping also discovered Xue Siqi's whereabouts to guess a rough idea, but his curiosity was obviously not strong. For Wang Xingping, whether these people live or die, they should have an identity that meets his needs, and as for the rest, they are all given for free, and the final disposition is actually already in the chest.

Slowly came to the three captives, the two brothers under Liao Si were already waiting here, and the three captives had blue noses and swollen faces, obviously not caused by injuries during the battle.

"Tell me, who ordered you to come?" After Liao Si finished asking, he kicked one over.

"Fourth Brother Liao, they are all barbarians, there is no need to talk nonsense with them." A soldier next to him hurriedly lifted the struggling man up again.

"No need, just ask the next one, there is nothing difficult in Chinese, you will be scared naturally."

As soon as Wang Xingping's words fell, Liao Si, who understood in his heart, had already slashed the person who had just been pulled up to the ground with a knife.

The two people next to him were stupid, and one of the thin men seemed to want to say, I'm afraid it's not good to speak Chinese. Wang Xingping made a look, and Liao Si stabbed again.

I said...... I said......"

The only short man left had long since disappeared from the hideous look on his face, and began to cry and plead.

"Where are you from?"

"The villains are Yongning Division."

"Yongning Si Ke is very big."

"Don't dare to deceive the heroes, the head of the family is the toast of the Red Cliff."

At this time, Xu Chengming and Xu Quanzhong also came up, and when they heard the name of the extravagant ugly, Master Xu said: "It turned out to be a luxury family, no wonder you are so bold." ”

"What about extravagance and ugliness?"

The man looked around and said stupidly, "I think Fang just took advantage of the chaos to escape into the forest." ”

Xu Qianzhong said: "We people have no grievances with Yongning's Tusi, why do we want to do this." ”

The minion was a little stunned, and whispered: "I heard that a scholar from Guiyang offended the son of the Xuanfu envoy, and the head of the family also obeyed the order." ”

Wang Xingping laughed after hearing this, and said: "It's such a big battle, just to deal with a poor scholar like me, and the luxury family is very interested." ”

After speaking, he changed his words and said, "It's a pity that this panic is not good." ”

The short minion was about to argue, but he felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, and when he buried his head in it, the steel knife had already submerged into his body, and the handle was in the hands of the prince in front of him.

Xu Qianzhong was about to get angry, and said in his heart that you said that he lied but finished asking, listening to the words, he is a person who wants to live, and he has no means to open his mouth? This is good, just kill it, it is equivalent to cooking the tail of the toast of the Red Cliff, and these dead people have no flag order, how can they prove their identity? Even if you know that you are all barbarians, you can't argue if others don't recognize you, but it's a pity that you have a lot of credit.

Wang Xingping didn't care about Xu Quanzhong, who was annoyed by his side, but turned around and said to Xu Chengming and Suo Nanjianshen, who had just come up, and said, "In fact, with common sense, the purpose of this gang of cunning is still on the mission. ”

"Oh?" Suo Nanjian was shocked when he heard this.

"The master doesn't know." Wang Xingping handed the knife in his hand to Liao Si, and after thinking about it, he stepped forward and saluted, pointing to a person who had fallen on the side of the road and replied respectfully.

"This person's name is Xue Siqi, and he and his boss had some trouble with the villain when they were originally in Zunyi."

"But he's a philistine, and I've inquired about this person, but he's just a person who can't afford to be early, and he will never do such a murderous thing for the sake of some unhappiness."

"In addition, two days ago, a brother under Fourth Brother Liao saw this person walking around the place under the tribute envoy, thinking that he was looking for the wind for those thieves."

Xu Chengming said: "Tiancheng is saying that they want to rob the tribute envoys? That's a bit bold. ”

Wang Xingping said: "Things in the world, I'm afraid I don't dare to think about it, I really can't believe it if it is another family, but Yongning's toast makes sense." ”

Xu Chengming said again: "According to Tiancheng's meaning, what should be done with these dead people." ”

Wang Xingping was waiting for someone to deliver a message, but he didn't expect this old man Xu to cooperate, so he pretended to think deeply and said: "If you bury it directly, it will be too cheap for these thieves." ”

"Tiancheng must have thought about it?"

"I just think it's always wrong for this group of thieves to abandon some corpses like this, but if it is reported to the official, it is not easy to say about this matter in Renhuai County."

Glancing at Xu Qianzhong's expression, Wang Xingping was sarcastic, he knew that arranging this Wu County Order was something that everyone loved to hear, so he continued.

"What's more, all the generals and brothers have all contributed to their death, and there must be some credit."

This time, not only a few of them, but even the expressions of the Xu family brothers have changed.

"Even if it's just an ordinary bandit, this is nearly thirty decapitations, just ......"

Everyone was silent, just waiting for Wang Xingping's words.

"It's just that everyone seems to be reluctant to report to the official, Master Xu's family is going to visit relatives, although I am a businessman, I am also going to Chongqing to visit my sister and brother-in-law, and I can't go all the way with this head."

Saying that, Wang Xingping glanced at Suo Nanjianshen, who had been listening with his eyes closed, and said, "I think these heads still have to be affected, so that the master can have a testimony for us." ”

Suo Nan Jianshen finally opened his slightly closed eyes, looked at Wang Xingping carefully as if he had seen something new, and said with a smile: "Tiancheng means to hand over this head to our mission to take away?" ”

Wang Xingping said: "Originally, this thief came for the master, all of us are just a righteous and courageous act, since the master said that he wanted to be rewarded, he had to leave some notes for the mission to explain the reason to the government, right?" ”

"That's right." Suo Nanjian did not shirk and recruited one person. "Bunge."

Hearing this, a leading monk came up and said, "What does the master command?" ”

"You didn't fight the thieves all the way, so you helped Wang Gongzi to cut off the heads of these thieves, and buried their bodies."

"Follow the Guru's orders."
