The next day, everyone got up at dawn, Zeng Yu and the three of them had just finished eating the breakfast prepared by the villagers, and the others came over one after another. Of course, the people of the caravan all went to Zhang Fuguang. When Zeng Yu and his entourage walked over after packing up, they saw that the people of the caravan were also packing up the goods and carrying the boxes into the carriage.

Zeng Yu and the others approached and said to him, "Brother, a few of our brothers have discussed, and a few of them will not go to the county seat first, I heard that the imperial court is recruiting soldiers recently, and my brothers plan to go to the army to find a career." ”

"That's okay, good boys are ambitious in all directions, see that some of you guys are really good, and they will definitely get ahead in the army." When Zhang Fuguang heard Zeng Yu say this, he thought that they really wanted to join the army, after all, in this era, there is no way, and it is difficult to make a career.

"To borrow your good words, a total of nine of us plan to join the army, and the rest will go to the county seat with you, and I hope you will help take care of it."

"No problem, if you have something, just come to Dongqu Street to find me, my Zhang family's house is there."

"Thank you, brother, this is my brother Sun Hao, he will take the others back to the county seat with you." Zeng Yu pulled Sun Hao and introduced him to Zhang Fuguang.

At the same time, he also took a deep look at Sun Hao, believing that he would understand what he meant. Obviously, Sun Hao and him are not strangers, so they naturally understand the purpose of what he said, and the rest assured in his eyes made Zeng Yu also very pleased. This is the tacit understanding that has been working together for more than ten years since I was a child, and of course, there is also the reason why I agreed on a plan last night, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of going together.

After a short time, Zhang Fuguang and the others had already packed up, and the expenses of the two teams were given to the village chief. Originally, Zhang Fuguang planned to help them give it together, but Zeng Yu thought that it was always bad to owe favors to others, so he refused, at this time, the price was not expensive, and each of them had some entanglements, especially Sun Hao, his father was also a state and county-level official before, so he naturally would not let him lose money.

Zeng Yu, Wang Qing and seven other people, after walking out of the village, watched Sun Hao and Zhang Fuguang gradually walk away from the county seat along the official road until they disappeared at the end of the pipeline.

"Lord, aren't we going to gather manpower and territory next, why did you say that you want to enlist in the army." Wang Qing heard Zeng Yu say that he was going to join the army, thinking that his plan had changed, and hurriedly asked.

"No, I just don't want outsiders to know about that, after all, we and Zhang Fuguang are just new friends." Zeng Yu replied.

"Well, where are we going now?"

"I asked before, on the mountain in front, there is a cottage, there is a group of bandits in it, Zhang Fuguang has also encountered it twice, the number should not be much, not once they all spent 10,000 yuan to buy the road and passed, this is our goal." It turned out that Zeng Yu and Zhang Fuguang had asked about the nearby mountains on the side of the road, and they had already chosen the target. The reason why I chose this is because there are not many people in this cottage, and it is easier to control, and secondly, they are just asking for money, not killing people, and they have to go up the mountain to join the gang in order to survive, and it will be easy to persuade at that time.

"Okay, let's go now." Wang Qing heard that Zeng Yu had already planned, and immediately couldn't wait to set off, carrying the Xinghuo Rebellion Gun, and let Zeng Yu lead the way.

Zeng Yu looked at everyone, and nodded and set off, but he still explained, and the next step was not child's play, after all, if something went wrong, there might be losses in the group, and even casualties were inevitable.

The group left the pipeline and headed northwest. After walking for about half a day, it was deserted, and there was only a small path waiting silently for pedestrians between the mountains. Everyone ate dry food and continued to walk, but they didn't talk much, but they would look to both sides from time to time, expecting to meet pedestrians, and it was best to meet the target cottage, which happened to be intercepted.

But obviously, the skinny feeling of reality and the fullness of dreams taught everyone a lesson, and when they walked into the evening, they didn't see anyone, so everyone had to find a place to rest.

Fortunately, everyone was used to the mountains and forests, and before it was completely dark, the bonfire was raised, and everyone did not go hunting, but just ate some dry food, and then prepared to rest. Zeng Yu asked Wang Qing and them to take turns to keep vigil in pairs, first, to guard against wild beasts, and secondly, in case a bandit appeared at night, it was better to prepare in advance.

The first round of vigil is Wang Qing and another teenager named Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen "Cheng Yong", taken from "Cheng is both brave and martial, and finally strong and invincible", Zhu Wen He is different from Wang Qing, he is a perfect interpretation of honesty from the outside to the inside, but he does have a lot of strength, usually in Taihang Village, among the younger generation, the strength is the largest, even if Wang Qing and him can't compare.

Not long after he fell asleep, Zeng Yu was woken up by Zhu Wen. It turned out that the two people who were keeping vigil noticed something unusual in the surroundings, and there were usually various nocturnal animal calls at night, such as bird calls, but suddenly it seemed that these calls seemed to be cut off. Wang Qingyi was bold, and at this time he had already gone to observe from a distance, asking Zhu Wen to wake up Zeng Yu, just in case.

"Did anything else unusual happen just now besides the silence?" Zeng Yu asked Zhu Wen.

"Nothing else out of the ordinary, and the trap we set didn't trigger." Zhu Wen touched his head and replied.

Zeng Yu heard Zhu Wen's answer, and was thinking about why Wang Qing was suddenly so vigilant, when suddenly Zhu Wen's hand touching his head suddenly slapped and said to him.

"Wait, it seems that we heard a rapid bird call just now, coming from the northwest direction, and Brother Ziwu is also going over there."

"Chengyong, you wake them up gently, and I'll take two people over to have a look." Zeng Yu knew what should be the situation, and said to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen woke up the people one by one, briefly explained the situation, Zeng Yu was also ready, brought his own saber, and called the two of them to go northwest with him.

Usually everyone has experience in the mountains and forests, Wang Qing set out alone, and naturally left a mark, they brought a torch and walked along the road to follow the mark. It didn't take long to see Wang Qing confronting a group of people in front, and the other party obviously saw Zeng Yu and them coming.

Zeng Yu and the others approached, only to find that there were still two people lying at Wang Qing's feet, and he was pointing a gun at the throat of one of them. No wonder Zeng Yu felt that the atmosphere was wrong when he saw Wang Qing and them just now.

The other party is obviously also a rat trap, but when he saw Zeng Yu and them, he was holding a torch, which obviously belonged to ordinary people, not a knife business.

Zeng Yu walked up to Wang Qing and asked, "Ziwu, what's going on?" ”

"They just sneaked in our direction, and I took the opportunity to arrest two, but they were outnumbered, and let me release them when they found out." Wang Qing replied.

Zeng Yu heard Wang Qing say this, looked at the dress opposite, as well as the knives and guns and other weapons carried in their hands, and had already guessed most of them in his heart, but his face did not show it, but he showed a very angry look.

"I don't know what you're doing here at night, I think you seem to be prepared, I don't know if you're passing by or what?" Zeng Yu took a step forward at this time and asked the person opposite.

At this time, the two sides were about ten steps apart, Wang Qing saw Zeng Yu suddenly walk forward, and was about to pull him, but Zeng Yu stretched out his hand to refuse, because he saw that since he was confronting just now, the other party must not have a long-range weapon in hand, and he also believed that Wang Qing's skills would definitely be able to keep him safe.

Hearing Zeng Yu's question on the other side, everyone looked at one of the bald young men, who seemed to be a leader, holding a mace in his hand. He also heard Zeng Yu's question, and knew that the sneak attack had obviously failed, so he replied directly.

"We are a nearby Woniu cottage, today I saw you passing by our territory, I wanted to tie you up the mountain at night, since it was discovered, let's just say it, now the world is sinister. We haven't been based in the cottage for a long time, and we are currently short of manpower, so the one next to you is also a good man, so you might as well join us, wouldn't it be happy. The bald young man is also a cheerful person, and he directly stated his purpose.

When Zeng Yu heard this, he knew that he had guessed correctly, what they were looking for was Woniu Cottage, this village only appeared last autumn, and there were naturally not many people, but they could maintain it until now, and there was still the idea of expansion, and they were obviously not mediocre.

"Our brothers are going to enlist in the army to defend the country and expand the territory, how can we just pursue happiness." Zeng Yu directly refused.

"Now in this world, the soldiers don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, and they still talk about defending the country with a fart, if the court is really useful, we won't fall to this point, and we can't go back to our homes."

"Brother Tai is wrong, the court must also have difficulties, we should have a heart to protect Sangzi, if everyone thinks like you, how can the territory be peaceful over there." Zeng Yu also persuaded.

"Hey, I'll not tell you, we were originally from Jiuyuan, but because of the wanton raids of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and the imperial court could not defend it, our hometown has been invaded, and we have no choice but to come here to settle the grass."

"If this is the case, we and other men should practice hard and take back the territory to the death."

"That's exactly what we thought, and now we have to fall into the grass, but we have never hurt people's lives, and we only take money. Thinking that in the future, he will be able to lead his brothers to take back home and take revenge. The bald young man said this, revealing his nostalgia for his hometown and his hatred for foreigners.

"Okay, brother, you are also a man, but I and a few others are just passing by, and they don't have any money. If you tie us up the mountain, it won't be of much use. Zeng Yu took the opportunity to say again.

"You don't know, we want to take revenge, but there are too few people, there are only about a thousand people at present, but we can't make a big deal of recruiting people, we can only take them up the mountain first, and then explain the situation, if you agree, you will naturally stay."

"What if you don't say yes?" Zeng Yu asked

"That's no way, I'm not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, so I'll naturally let them go, but I have to leave some money for accommodation and food."

"Then you wait a minute, I'll discuss it with the other brothers." Zeng Yu heard him return, and knew that there was a group of bloody men in Woniu Mountain, and the original target was them, so after confirming the situation, he agreed first.

"No problem, I'll wait for you here for half an hour." The bald young man agreed.

"Dare to ask the honorable name of the master?" Zeng Yu asked again.

"Press Pei Yuanshao, you can call me Lao Pei." The bald young man patted his chest and replied.

"Lao Pei, my name is Zeng Yu, you can call me Zirui, these are my brothers, Wang Qing, Wang Ziwu, Qin Fen, Qin Zhonghu, and Gude Gubo." Zeng Yu also introduced several of himself to Pei Yuanshao.

After speaking, Zeng Yu glanced at Pei Yuanshao with a strange look in his eyes. At the same time, let Wang Qing let the people go first, and then the four of them returned to the camp the same way.
