Li Buqi returned to Xiucai, and Xiucai said: "Although that place is good, we can't go." As far as I know, Dengzhou is by the sea, thousands of miles away from here. ”

Li Buqi laughed: "That's why I want to recruit An." After recruiting peace, I will be able to send you over with a fair name. ”

"Why do you want to send us to that place?"

"There are many borderlands in the world. If we Han people don't take it, won't we be cheaper for others? ”

"How is the Borderlands really under heaven?"

"Of course. It's just that Nanyang is full of jungles, and the hot climate can't stand it. In the north of Liao, it can be said that there are thousands of miles of uninhabited, and if it is beaten down, it is a large piece of land, but the winter is long there, and the cold wind blowing from hell is not something that ordinary people can bear, so the Tang Dynasty only expands to the fishing sea and is not allowed to go north. I have heard that the best paradise is in the east, and on the island I am talking about is further east, there is a bigger island, with a territory of thousands of miles, which is bigger than my Great Song Dynasty. It's just too far away to reach it now. ”

Xiucai suddenly remembered a question: "All of us have relatives who were killed by the imperial court, if we go thousands of miles overseas, where can we come back to take revenge?" ”

Li Buqi smiled: "If you want to take revenge, you must first have the ability and strength." If you can't even build a ship and can't come back, then you are not worthy to take revenge. Is it because you stay in the Great Song Dynasty that you can kill all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials to take revenge? In the end, isn't it enough for people to be exterminated? ”

Seeing that Xiucai thought about it, Li Buqi induced again: "You are a scholar, you should know the story of the previous dynasty, and naturally understand what happened to my Han people in the hands of the Hu people." You can naturally get out of the evil breath if you mess up the Great Song Dynasty, but if you let the Liao people or the Xixia people kill in and take away the world of my Han people, you are also the sinners of my Han family. ”

Xiucai asked loudly: "You didn't lie to me?" Do you dare to swear by poison? ”

Swearing this kind of thing is really a piece of cake for outright atheists, and Li Buqi immediately asked all the gods of the East and the West to ensure that he did not say half a lie, otherwise no matter which god could strike a thunderbolt and kill him.

But seeing that Li Buqi solemnly swore a poisonous oath, the simple Song people believed it. "In that case, I'm going to go back and talk to you about it."

Li Buqi untied the rope for Xiucai, sat down and asked, "Don't be busy first, you still have to tell me the number of your roads." To tell you the truth, I have a feud with Han Qi, the deputy privy envoy, and many other civil officials, if I recruit you, they will definitely find trouble, and in the end, if you don't get it right, you won't be able to do it. So I need to know your situation in order to think long-term. ”

Xiucai struggled for a long time before he said: "Do you know Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai? We were originally their subordinates, and we were scattered by the officers and soldiers before we were left here. ”

Oh, it turned out to be a peasant rebel! No wonder they have standard crossbows for officers and soldiers. Li Buqi asked: "Recently, you robbed the four Zhuangzi outside the mountain?" ”

Xiucai nodded. The rebels are really different from the bandits.

Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai Li do not give up, and they are also two cattle people. It is said that Guo Miaoshan unveiled an uprising in Shangxian County, Shaanxi Province more than ten years ago, and then Zhang Hai responded on Jingxi Road. Last year, the rebel army marched into Kaifeng with great momentum, and the emperor sent a large army to suppress it, so the rebel army moved south, crisscrossing Xiang, Sui, Jun, Fang, An, Ying, and other places, and defeated thirty or forty prefectures and counties, and defeated the official army several times. In the end, it was Han Qi who mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress and defeat the rebel army, Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai were killed, and the uprising was extinguished.

It's a bit tricky. Although many of the remnants of the rebel army were recruited, after recruiting, they were either assigned to the border or found an excuse to die. The emperor frightened the rebels a lot last year, would he agree to Li Buqi to keep these people by his side?

However, Li Buqi also had a way, and asked directly: "Then how many of you are now?" ”

Xiucai said proudly: "More than three hundred." ”

Li Buqi asked: "There are no too eye-catching characters among them, right?" ”

"Nope! They were all creeps that had been scattered, and there were women. Xiucai replied immediately.

Li Buqi said: "It's easy to do without eye-catching characters." All you have to do is insist that you are a coercive subordinate. You should know a lot about the oppression of the people by the government, so you write a letter of love to show that you can't stand the oppression of the government and have to fight back. So that I can operate from it. You just say that you are an anti-corruption official, not an anti-emperor, and you are sincere to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. You should have no problem writing such a thing as a showman, right? ”

Xiucai's face was turned into a bun, and he nodded dumbly, and put a big question mark on Li Buqi's character in his heart.

Li Buqi saw that the east was already white, so he said: "It's almost dawn, and those who want to come to you should be in a hurry." Go down and consult with them, and give me an answer. ”

"Huh? You let me go? Xiucai was surprised.

Li Buqi said very chicly: "Look at you as a man, no matter what the final result is, I have made you a friend." It's just that the sword and gun have no eyes, please let your people back a little, otherwise it will not be good to misunderstand and hurt people. Go ahead! ”

Xiucai turned around and walked down the hill in three steps, and when he saw that Li Buqi had indeed let him go back, he hurriedly walked down, and immediately someone came out from behind the trees and stones with shields and bows and arrows: "Xiucai, are you okay?" ”

A big man flashed out from behind a big rock and shouted: "Xiucai, come here, what's going on?" ”

Xiucai hurriedly said: "Stone collar, let everyone retreat one after another." There are some things to discuss. ”

Dahan said uneasily: "What's the matter? ”

Xiucai whispered a few words in his ear, and the big man's eyes widened, and it took half a day to arrange his subordinates to take twenty steps back, and then walk behind with Luo Xiucai. At this time, a petite woman with a white cloth tied to her head with a double knife on her back came out of the grass and asked, "Brother Luo, how did you run out?" ”

Luo Xiucai said: "I didn't run out, it was Li Buqi who let me come back." ”

After saying that, Luo Tong told Li Buqi about recruiting them, and the petite woman was also stunned. He looked at Shi Ling: "Uncle Shi, look at this......"

Shi Ling asked Luo Xiucai: "Xiucai, do you think Li Buqi is sincere?" ”

Scratching his head, Rotong said, "What he said doesn't look like it's fake. And he swore a poisonous oath. I listened to the immortals I knew and didn't know, he mentioned them all, it should be true. ”

The petite woman said, "A deception in an official is like eating." Even an oath may not be credible. ”

Luo Tong said: "It's just that I feel that this Li Buqi's style is different from all the officials I've seen before." And he taught me how to deceive the emperor, if I don't really recruit peace, what does he bother to do? ”

Shi Ling said: "I'm afraid that as soon as I am recruited, I will put on a rope." What do you say, people are ...... knives?"

"Man is the sword, I am the fish."

"Yes, that's it. Li can't be the master of the government if he doesn't give up, what if the government turns around? It is better to take the Drill Sky Peak is also a foundation, where the terrain is dangerous, so you are not afraid of the officers and soldiers coming to suppress it. ”

Luo Tong said: "It's just that drilling Tianfeng is just a projectile land, and even if we take it down, we are just the king of the mountain." Judging by the meaning of Li Bu Wai, if he is determined to attack, it will be difficult to hold there. ”

He himself said that it was his opponent who had blown him up in order to harm him. With such a dangerous terrain as Drilling Tianfeng, what way can he break through? Do you want to fill in human lives? ”

"But I look at him with a lot of certainty."

The two of you said a word, and the petite woman couldn't help it: "How can such a big matter be decided immediately?" If Li does not give up sincerity, let him come down and discuss it carefully with us. Since he has no intention of harming us, we will not harm his life. ”

Stone Collar immediately seconded: "Exactly. If he dares to come down, it will also show his sincerity. ”

Seeing that both of them meant this, Luo Tong had no choice but to turn around and walk back to the edge of the cliff and shout: "Officer Li, a few of our leaders want you to come over and discuss it carefully with us." We will never kill you. ”

shouted a few times, but there was no sound on the other side of the cliff, Luo Tong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood and slapped his thigh: "Fooled!" ”

He ran to the edge of the cliff and stamped his feet in anger. The others didn't understand what was happening, but when they saw him running over, they also rushed up with their knives and guns, but they saw that there were still people on the edge of the cliff, only two large ropes tied to a few trees at one end, and the other end hanging down to the bottom of the cliff. When he looked down at the cliff, there was no trace of Li Buqi.

The petite girl also followed and sighed: "This Li Buqi is really cunning. I'll get out of here as soon as possible, and I won't let him notice anything else. ”

At this time, someone shouted: "Leader Shi, Xiucai, there are words written on this stone!" ”
