After a fierce battle of life and death, Liu Juntao carried Jinggu's corpse all the way here, it can be said that he was exhausted, and when he saw Zhang Xiaojun and the others rushing in to meet him, he suddenly felt relieved, and the whole person suddenly collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojun rushed forward quickly, and helped Liu Juntao, who was slumped to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Brother! Hold on! ”

"Jinggu has met bandits!"

Before Liu Juntao fell into a coma, he only had time to say this sentence, and then he passed out.

When everyone next to them heard that Jing Gu had encountered bandits, they were all scared, shouting and shouting, and a few timid young men had even retreated.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojun was so angry that he scolded a few words, and then shouted: "Come up a few people, carry Brother Liu and Jinggu back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a few young men rushed up, but when two of them went to support Jinggu, they all shouted: "Jinggu is dead!" Jinggu was ruined to death by bandits! ”

When Zhang Xiaojun heard this, his blood suddenly surged, his eyes were red, his hands clenched into fists and squeaked, and the surrounding young people were also angry when they heard this, and the cowardice just now was instantly dispersed a lot, and several bold young men even shouted that they wanted to find the bandits in the reeds desperately.

However, although Zhang Xiaojun was resentful, he also knew in his heart that bringing the bodies of Liu Juntao and Jinggu, who were seriously injured, back to the village at this time was the most important thing!

So, Zhang Xiaojun beckoned everyone to carry the bodies of Liu Juntao and Jinggu to the north, and everyone hugged Zhang Xiaojun and Liu Juntao to rush to the north, and finally rushed to Yushanji before dark.

Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui stood at the entrance of the village together, and the two saw that Zhang Xiaojun and his party had been out for more than two hours and had not been seen, and they were anxious in their hearts, and said secretly: "Didn't the descendants really encounter the bandits of Yushan?" ”

At this moment, Zhang Xiaojun and others appeared on the path in the distance, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui felt relieved when they saw this, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when Zhang Xiaojun and the others came closer, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui saw that Liu Juntao was covered in blood, as if he had crawled out of the fighting field, and saw that Jinggu was disheveled and dead, and both of them felt cold in their hearts, looked at each other, and were silent.

"Guo Yuanwai, father! Liu Juntao entered the reeds alone to explore the way for everyone, and only found Jinggu's body, when we rushed in, Liu Juntao only said one sentence: Jinggu met bandits. After that, Liu Juntao fainted, and it seemed that he should have been entangled with the bandits. ”

Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were taken aback when they heard this, especially Guo Yongzhong, when they heard that they had really encountered bandits, they hurriedly asked, "You can see bandits?" Don't be followed by bandits! ”

"Nope! We only saw Liu Juntao, and there was no trace of the bandits. However, Liu Juntao has three short knives and a pair of double inserts, which is estimated to be a bandit! ”

Zhang Baigui said in shock: "Could it be that Liu Juntao killed the bandits and captured the bandits' blades?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

At this moment, a sick old woman pounced out of the crowd of onlookers, lay on Jinggu's body and cried bitterly: "Oh my God! Bandits who kill a thousand knives! Pity my filial daughter, who died at the age of twenty! ”

"Sister!"

Subsequently, a strong young man of seventeen or eighteen years old also rushed over, but it was Jinggu's younger brother Yan Hu.

This Yan Hu also has No. 1 in Yushanji, although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he is strong and extraordinary, and he can even hunt wild wolves alone, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Xiaojun. This time, Zhang Xiaojun took the people out of the village to look for Jinggu, but he was worried about the danger and forcibly left Yan Hu in the village to guard, and did not take him with him.

Looking at the mother and son who were crying bitterly, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui sighed and were about to step forward to appease them.

Unexpectedly, the old mother coughed violently, and suddenly a mouthful of blood sprayed on Jinggu's body, and the whole person also fell next to Jinggu's body in distraction.

"Mother!"

Seeing this, Yan Hu hugged his old mother like crazy and cried bitterly, Zhang Xiaojun also burst into tears, stepped forward to hold Yan Hu and kept persuading, but to no avail.

Zhang Baigui knew some simple medical skills on weekdays, and hurriedly stepped forward to check it, his face suddenly fell, and he shook his head slightly at Guo Yongzhong with a pale face, and then stood aside and sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Guo Yongzhong also sighed and said loudly: "Someone! I went to find someone to beat two good longevity materials, and I collected Aunt Jing's mother and daughter, and I came out with the silver I needed! ”

Zhang Baigui also said: "I will handle the funeral, and I will definitely send Aunt Jing's mother and daughter away in a beautiful manner." ”

While he was talking, Liu Juntao also woke up, and he also understood the scene of the earth-shattering crying, and after barely sitting up, he looked at the tragedy in front of him silently, and his heart was also sad.

After a while, Yan Hu was able to stop his tears, and when he saw that Liu Juntao had woken up, he rushed over and crawled, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Gong Xie brought my sister back, Gong Xie En!" ”

Where did Liu Juntao see this? Hurriedly struggled to get up and helped Yan Hu up: "I'm ashamed! I'm late! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao's eyes were also slightly red.

Yan Hu was grateful to Dade, and said loudly: "Now that my sister is gone, my mother is gone, and Engong will be my dear relative in the future, and from now on I will be a cow and a horse to repay Engong!" ”

Liu Juntao said: "Don't call Engong and Engong in the future, you and I are about the same age, so we will be brothers in the future." ”

Yan Hu saw that Liu Juntao said sincerely, so he clenched his fists and said, "Listen to the eldest brother!" ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun next to him also said emotionally: "Brother Liu is right, let's worship the three of us together!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaojun was about to pull Liu Juntao and Yan Hu to kowtow, but was stopped by Zhang Baigui: "Let's talk about the worship later, and ask the bandits about the bandits first!" ”

Guo Yongzhong said: "That's right! Let's go to my house first, sit down and talk slowly. ”

After a while, Guo Yongzhong led Zhang Baigui, Zhang Xiaojun's father and son, and Liu Juntao back to their homes, while the rest of the villagers also dispersed, and several young people in the village who were arranged by Zhang Baigui temporarily collected the bodies of Aunt Jing's mother and daughter.

But Yan Hu did not stay by the body of Aunt Jing's mother and daughter, but followed him to Guo Yongzhong's house, obviously wanting to know about the bandits and wanting to take revenge.

At this time, Guo Muying, who heard the news, had already prepared gold sore medicine and food, and two servants from Guo Yongzhong's family dressed Liu Juntao in a side room, and then helped Liu Juntao back to the main hall.

When Guo Yongzhong saw Liu Juntao coming back, he said, "Okay, Juntao, let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Liu Juntao sat down and told in detail what happened to him in the reeds, and everyone present was in a cold sweat and had a chill on his back.

Zhang Xiaojun used to think that he was superior in force, and he never had anyone else in his eyes. But today, Zhang Xiaojun was shocked when he heard that Liu Juntao not only slaughtered several man-eating tidal flat wolves, but also killed three bandits in a surprise attack, and his eyes were full of incredulity when he looked at Liu Juntao.

Not only Zhang Xiaojun's expression, but Guo Muying on the side was also amazed, he never thought that Liu Juntao would have such force, and looked Liu Juntao up and down, with a different light in his eyes.

After hearing this, Yan Hu on the side cried bitterly again, unable to forget the tragic death of his sister, and hated the bandits in Yushan to the core, eager to kill Yushan immediately and kill all the bandits there.

And Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui glanced at each other, and both of them were surprised. In fact, whether it is Zhang Baigui or Guo Yongzhong, although they live in this small Yushan set, they are not people who have never seen the world.

At that time, Zhang Baigui was originally a craftsman in the city of Jinan, specializing in building troops for the defenders stationed in the city. It was only later that the imperial court's exploitation of the craftsmen became more and more serious, so Zhang Baigui escaped from Jinan City with the young Zhang Xiaojun, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court, he ran to this poor mountain and remote Yushanji to live in seclusion.

And Guo Yongzhong was not originally a native of Yushanji, but a merchant in Nanzhili, and later had a conflict with a nobleman in Nanzhili, so he had to sell his family wealth and take refuge in this Yushanji.

At this time, both of them are very attentive to Liu Juntao in their hearts, and this kind of force is rare even among the battalion soldiers! It's completely comparable to those generals' families!

Whether it is Zhang Baigui or Guo Yongzhong, they are already ready to envelop Liu Juntao and want to leave Liu Juntao in Yushanji.

At this time, Liu Juntao asked with some hesitation: "By the way, I don't know which state capital our Yushan set belongs to?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Zhang Xiaojun replied first: "Our Yushanji is under the jurisdiction of Dong'e County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Yanzhou Mansion of the Shandong Political Envoy, and the specific affairs are directly under the jurisdiction of Huakou Town, which is twenty miles away in the northeast, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Yongzhong hurriedly asked with concern: "Does Jun Tao have any relatives and friends in nearby states and counties?" I'll send someone to find it at once! ”

Zhang Baigui also said: "In the future, our Yushan set will be your home, and your relatives and friends will be our relatives and friends, Jun Tao, you just have to talk, and I will personally bring someone to find it!" ”

Liu Juntao was dumbfounded when he saw everyone's posture, shook his head, and said: "I'm worried about the bandits on Yushan, the fire burned too big before, and it can be clearly seen from miles away, I'm afraid that it will alarm the bandits in Yushan, and the situation of our Yushanji will not be good at that time!" So, I wondered if we should go to the official first, and if the government intervenes, we can also have a guarantee? Besides, if I kill three bandits, will it be okay? ”

Looking at Liu Juntao's worried look, Guo Yongzhong said with a smile: "Juntao, you can rest assured!" If you kill three bandits, the court will only reward you, so how can it be difficult for you? Just ......"

Zhang Baigui glanced at Guo Yongzhong, and then said: "It's just that although this slippery town is not far away, and the officials and soldiers in the town also have a hundred households, but the strength of these hundred households has never been full, at best, it is only a few dozen people. I estimate that it is a question of whether those guards dare to come and investigate, let alone help us resist the Yushan bandits who may be killed! ”

Liu Juntao was immediately deflated when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Won't it?" This has not yet reached the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the problem of empty salaries for garrisons in various places is already so serious? If the Yushan bandits really come to kill, how should they deal with it? ”

For a while, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yan Hu suddenly stood up and shouted, "What are you afraid of!" We also have a hundred and ten young people in Yushanji, not to mention that there are ruthless people like Brother Juntao and Brother Xiaojun, as long as the Yushan bandits dare to come, we will fight with them! ”

Zhang Xiaojun was very excited when he heard this, and also shouted: "That's right! Our Yushan set will be on full alert from today, I don't believe that the Yushan bandits are all heavenly soldiers! ”

However, compared to Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu's enthusiasm, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were extremely calm, both of them shook their heads slightly and did not say a word.

At this time, Liu Juntao said loudly: "If the Yushan bandits don't come for a year, three or five years, do we have to take precautions forever?" After all, everyone still has to live a peaceful life, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days! ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Muying on the side couldn't help but nod slightly, casting an approving look.

Guo Yongzhong frowned and asked, "Then according to Jun Tao's intentions, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Liu Juntao raised his head and said: "Take the initiative!" Let's fight the fish mountain bandits! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and changed color.
