Saigo, Nishiyama guards outside, Takeri.

Not far to the north of Nanshan, there is a small village called Zhuli, although it is a small village. But Takeri is the largest village west of Saigo. There are dozens of households living in it.

Zhuli has a long history, and it is a small village in the mountains west of Saigo. Because there are a large number of bamboo forests nearby, it was named Chikuzato. Takeri used to belong to Saigo. But as the Hu people broke through and the thieves plundered Xixiang, Zhuli also lost contact with the outside.

Zhuli is a thief from the South Mountain, which is its luck and its misfortune. When Nanshanzhai was first established, its strength was weak, and it could still get along with its neighbor Zhuli. But as time went by, the strength of Nanshanzhai gradually became stronger, and after becoming a Nanshan thief, he showed his fangs.

However, the bandit leader of the Nanshan bandits was quite brainy, and did not destroy Takeri, but instead collected a large amount of grain from Takeri every year in exchange for Takeri's existence. It can be said that life in Takeri is very bad. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The blood of the two Jin people is still strong, which is why the two Jin peasant uprisings are so frequent. It's a pity that in the face of the bandit Nanshan bandits. The people of Takesato, who often hold hoes, are obviously not opponents. They were brutally suppressed. Those who resisted were all bloodily killed. The people of Takeri are also a lot more honest because of this.

This is also the reason why Liu Ye sent someone to appease him eight months ago, but Takeri did not agree. I was really scared of being killed by the Nanshan thieves.

A few days ago, the Nanshan thieves sent someone to announce that they would either hand over fifty pieces of grain and grass or die.

This is tantamount to forcing Takeri to a dead end. Fifty Hu is simply a heaven for the poor village of Zhuli. Even if you count all the grain planted in Zhuli for the coming year, you can't make up fifty hundreds. The elders in Zhuli really had no choice but to send someone to Xixiang for help.

At this time, Takeri was already fully armed. Almost everyone picked up a handy "weapon", a logging knife, a dung fork, sharpened sticks, bamboo, and so on. It looks like Takeri is ready to fight to the death if necessary. But everyone's face was full of fear and uneasiness. Obviously, these people are not good in terms of morale or combat effectiveness.

In the center of Takeri, there is a large house that is clearly different from other houses. At this time, there were four or five old men in the house, and they were the high-rise core of the entire bamboo industry. Everyone has a high prestige in Takeri.

"Huang Gong, don't turn it anymore, you turn the old man's eyes are spent." Looking at the people who were spinning around in front of him, an old man who was a little upset said.

"Isn't the old man in a hurry?" Huang Gongdao.

"San'er has been out for so long, and he hasn't come back yet. Isn't it dangerous? Huang Gong said with some anxiety. San'er is his favorite good grandson. To be honest, he really didn't want to send him out.

"Don't worry, San'er is so excited. It's going to be fine," the old man comforted.

"I hope so".

"Calculate the time, Liu Yuanjun's Xixiang army should also arrive. Why is there no one yet". An old man said.

"Yes! The day before yesterday, it was agreed that it was today, yes! Another old man said

"Do you think the Xixiang Army will encounter the Nanshan thieves?" Huang Gongdao.

"Don't talk nonsense". An old man shuddered.

This is what Takeri is most afraid of encountering now. If the Xixiang army defeats the Nanshan bandits, it will be fine, but once they lose, the most unlucky will definitely be them. The scene suddenly fell silent.

……

"San'er is back"

"San'er, what's going on, is the Xixiang Army here?"

"Yes! Oh, yes! Did San'er encounter Nanshan thieves? ”

"Where is the Saigo army?"

"Don't go! San'er"

……

"Brothers, uncle. Rong Yi went to tell the elders first. I'll come back later. All I can say is that I'm not in danger now. ”

……

Soon after, San'er arrived at the Elder's House.

"Did San'er meet the Xixiang Army?" Huang Gong asked anxiously.

"I saw it, this time it was Liu Zhijun who personally led the team." San'er Road.

"Great," the crowd said.

The big stones that weighed on everyone's hearts also fell one after another.

"What about Liu Yuanjun?" Huang Gong then asked.

"Liu Yuanjun led the Xixiang army, met the Nanshan thieves in Lianghujian, and defeated them. Now Liu Yuanjun is running towards Nanshan with the Xixiang army. It is said that it is to completely destroy the Nanshan thieves," San'er said.

"But the Xixiang Army seemed a little unhappy when they saw me." San'er felt that Xixiangjun's performance was a little strange, and added. It's not that loud, though. Everyone was celebrating, but no one cared.

"The Nanshan thieves are going to be destroyed. Great, Liu Yuanjun, long live. Huang Gong danced with his hands.

The elders also happily joined in the celebration. They were overwhelmed by the Nanshan thieves. And every family has a blood feud with the Nanshan bandits.

"Quiet, quiet. You are all in trouble, and you don't know it yet. An old man with gray hair sitting at the top sighed long.

"Bai Gong, how can you say this. The Nanshan thieves have been destroyed, shouldn't we be happy? Huang Gong wondered.

"That being said, don't forget where Saigo defeated the Nanshan Bandits."

"It's a second tiger stream, even if you don't know the military. I also know that it is a great place for ambushes. ”

"Where are the Nanshan thieves? Could it be a coincidence? ”

"Will Liu Yuanjun think that it is we who led them into the Second Tiger Stream?"

"San'er, tell them how they treated you when you met the Xixiang Army. Repeat your last sentence one more time. ”

"No, Bai Gong," San'er replied

"The Saigo Army seems to be a little disgusted with us and others."

"What a good thing this is!" Everyone said in a hurry. Unexpectedly, just now the wolf was about to be killed, and a tiger appeared that seemed to be angered by them.

"Either we run!" Huang Gong said weakly.

"Run, where can you run! Doesn't it seem that we are thieves if we run away? "Bai Gong didn't have a good airway.

"That Bai Gong, what should we do" Huang Gongdao.

"When the Xixiang Army arrives, I will wait for all of them to go out to greet us, don't be reluctant to lose face. All of them saluted to let Liu Yuanjun and Xixiang Jun see our sincerity. The rest can only pray that Liu Yuanjun understands the righteousness. Bai Gong said helplessly.

"That's all there is to it," everyone agreed.

At this time, there was an excited voice outside the house.

"The South Cottage is on fire".

"Nanshanzhai was burned".

Inside the house

"Hurry, Liu Yuanjun is almost here, I'll go back and prepare soon." Bai Gong immediately said.

……

"I'll wait to see Liu Yuanjun and thank Liu Yuanjun for his life." Five miles away from the bamboo, Bai Gong took the entire bamboo to kneel on the ground in turn.

In ancient times, before the Qing Dynasty, kneeling was a very serious etiquette. In addition to sacrifices, worship ancestors. Very few people will kneel. Even when he saw the emperor, he only bowed and did not kneel.

That's why I saw rows of bamboo people kneeling in rows and rows. Liu Ye felt a little new in his heart.

However, Liu Ye did not intend to let them go. When he stepped forward, he neither helped nor shouted peace. The people in the bamboo were on their knees and did not dare to get up.

After a while, Liu Ye said.

"You can be convicted."

"I don't know." Bai Gong trembled.

At this time, Liu Ye glanced at Tang Jue next to him.

Tang Jue said angrily: "Pretend!" I'm waiting for good intentions to come to your rescue. You will take revenge. Reveal our whereabouts to the Nanshan Thieves. The Nanshan thieves actually set up an ambush in the two tiger streams. If I hadn't waited for the scouts to find out in advance, our Xixiang army would have been wiped out. ”

"Wronged! Wronged! Everyone in the bamboo said one after another. The pot came down from the sky, and they didn't know what was going on.

"It's still wronged, didn't you reveal it, could it be that the group of Nanshan thieves fell from the sky." Xu Ji said.

"Lord, if you don't directly kill its first offender, the rest will be demoted to Tuntian slaves, so as to sue my dozens of brothers in the spirit of heaven." Luan Meng also said.

"Spare your life! Wronged! I really don't know. The people in the bamboo begged for mercy.

Even Bai Gong, who has always been wise, broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to raise his head.

"Get up! Don't have a next time. Liu Ye said suddenly.

"Lord, you can't spare them easily, you have to avenge those brothers who died tragically!" Tang Jue feigned anger.

"Yes! Oh, yes! "Lord Monarch," Luan Meng and Xu Ji also said.

"Shut up".

"Benjun believes in them".

Luan Meng and the others wanted to persuade again, but seeing that the lord was so resolute, they could only retreat gloomily.

And everyone in the bamboo knelt down one after another with gratitude.

Killing may be frightening, but it is by no means convincing. Under the guidance of the system housekeeper, Liu Ye wrote and directed this scene. Perhaps soon, under the deliberate guidance of a certain traverser, Liu Ye's name of benevolence and forgiveness will spread throughout the villages outside Xixiang. At that point, it will be much easier to appease them again.

"The Way of Forgiveness" is the result of Liu Ye's reading of so many novels. It is also a big killer weapon for each Ming Jun.
