"Why are you following me?"

"My family was killed by Old Scar, and you took revenge on me, so I want to follow you!" Chen Tieyi raised his head and said loudly.

"I think you have some skills, so why don't you kill him yourself." Zhao asked puzzledly, with this person's ability, it is not possible to do it openly, but it is still possible to do it secretly.

"My sister is still in the cottage, I don't dare!" Chen Tieyi said dejectedly.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I, Zhao Xi, will accept you today." ”

Half a day later, one hundred and thirty captives were thrown into Zhao Xi's arms, in fact, even if these captives were released, they would not be able to survive, and they would eventually become new mountain bandits.

In the next few days, while training, Zhao Yi asked the Zhao steward of the Li Mansion to buy food and quietly transport it to Wohu Mountain, and even some young and strong family members also rushed to Wohu Mountain to establish a new home at the foot of Wohu Mountain. Originally, Zhao Yi planned to move in unison after ten days, but seeing this situation, he was also happy to do so, and sent a team of people to escort him each time, and he had the right to train troops. In addition, he also asked Zhou Li to buy a household registration for the bandits who took refuge in him.

In a small dilapidated courtyard in a remote corner of Xinyan Town.

Wu Han said to the two people sitting in front of him a little impatiently: "That damn Zhao Yi has disrupted all my plans, and now there are less than a hundred Xiangyong under my command." ”

The middle-aged man on the left side with a gloomy vulture on his face: "Isn't it planned, use the old scar of Crouching Tiger Mountain to consume the township warriors who disobey you in Xinyan Town, and then recruit them." Why don't you get people back from Zhao Xi's hands. ”

"I want to come back, but the damn Zhao Yi didn't pay attention to it at all, and the young men he brought with him were directly placed in Wohu Mountain and didn't come back, even if he did it, I couldn't help them."

The middle-aged man slammed the table and said angrily: "We have been busy for a long time, and as a result, Zhao Xian's kid took advantage." ”

The middle-aged man with a beard who had been sitting on the right side without speaking spoke and said: "Let's not talk about this for a while, it's better to let him leave, so as not to cause something, after all, his brothers are not easy to mess with." Our people in Lexian County have already arranged, Xinyan Town can set up three hundred township warriors, you will recruit people in two days, when the time comes, the above will send some people to assist you, this time you must grasp these township warriors in your hands, and in addition, you must also train strictly. I looked at Zhao Xi's training methods, although I don't know what his methods are, but the results are obvious, whether it is a mountain bandit or a young man, they have changed greatly, just like a border army, although there is no armor, crossbow arrows, but their momentum and discipline are higher than many Dayan border troops. ”

Wu Han said disdainfully: "It looks powerful, but when it comes to fighting, it is definitely not the power of the border army." ”

The middle-aged man continued: "Don't underestimate them, now they are not the strength of the border army, but the border army has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has been trained for a long time, what about them, they were farmers a few days ago, and what if they also went through several months of training and after several battles?" The training of the border army is not as frequent as theirs, nor is it as ruthless as theirs. Although I haven't trained in weapons and battle formation techniques now, it doesn't mean that I won't train in the future. ”

"Why don't you send someone to intercept him on his way to Crouching Tiger Mountain?" Wu Han said angrily.

"Is he so easy to kill? Three hundred mountain bandits defeated eleven of them, and captured more than a hundred people, and now there are more than two hundred people with him, we need to collect more people to kill him? What if it doesn't kill? Besides, you can't quietly mobilize hundreds of people, don't worry about this in advance, Wu Han, you go back first, don't provoke this Zhao Di, and send him away. ”

After Wu Han left, the middle-aged man of the Yin Vulture sighed, "Qi Jian, do you say that we are doing this right?" ”

The middle-aged man named Qi Jian replied for a while: "I don't know, but the head of the family has already made a decision, and we will do it!" ”

"Alas......"

"Big brother, according to our statistics, there are more than 1,100 people who are going to move away this time, including 500 rebels, and half of Xinyan Town has been taken away by us." Zhao Hai, who was in charge of a team of prisoners who had taken refuge, reported back to Zhao Xi.

"No matter how many people there are, they must be settled, and let Uncle Li do a good job over there."

"Big brother, don't worry, when I came over there today, Uncle Li had already built a lot of houses, and he had the money to open the road, and the people in Pinglou Town were building houses for us, plus some family members in the past, and they would also help. However, due to the purchase of cattle and farming equipment, a lot of money was spent. In addition, in the Crouching Tiger cottage, a house has also been built, and the mother and Li'er and Xin'er can go to live, although it is not as good as here, but it is not as bad as there. ”

"Don't worry about the silver for the time being, when we train the people, we will open the knife to the mountain bandits everywhere, and then the silver will be available. By the way, Uncle Li, how are they training? ”

"It's already effective, and I don't know how strong it is to be better than the previous chaotic young and strong. By the way, when we were training recently. There are so many people who want to participate, why don't you agree, big brother? ”

Zhao Xi: "We took so many people away, Zhou Li and Wu Han are already very dissatisfied, and if we recruit people again, it will be difficult to get along in the future, and we will also use this as a transit station for buying food and selling all kinds of antiques and utensils that have been seized, and we can't fall out with them for the time being." In addition, the soldiers are not much expensive, and it is better to recruit these farmers to train their subordinates well. How are those who are going to migrate? ”

Zhao Haidao: "Once every two days, I ran four times in total, and more than 600 people were moved. Oh, this migration of the people and the march just dare not compare, too slow, not as fast as the carriage that pulls grain, just their bedding, pots and pans use several carriages, fortunately there are no old people, or people are more troublesome. It only took us more than an hour to ride the horses, and it took a whole day to take these people with us. ”

"The reason why I asked you to take turns to follow the team once is to let you know that escorting grain and grass and helping the people to move is different from our usual march. You ask those who have not yet moved to prepare, and follow the team early the day after tomorrow, by the way, prepare a few more carriages, simple ones, and transport them to the cottage. ”

Two days later, more than 220 Xiangyong and more than 400 people on horseback slowly left Xinyan Town. Although more than 200 villagers are still wearing messy burlap clothes, they are very different from before. The action is neat, strict, and imposing, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"It seems that these rebels are going to unify their clothes, although they don't have armor, they can't wear them to look like mountain bandits." Zhao Yi looked at the neat subordinates and couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Luo beside him said: "Yes, uniform clothes make people look imposing and deterrent, and they will not be misunderstood as mountain bandits." Our current appearance is actually the same as that of mountain bandits, and if we go to other towns, we will be recognized as mountain bandits. The last time we transported grain and grass and the two small towns that the people would pass through Crouching Tiger Mountain, the outpost was treated as a mountain bandit. In the end, it took a long time to explain. ”

"This problem will be solved when we return to the cottage."

A long line of people slowly approached Crouching Tiger Mountain like a long snake, and Zhao's mother, Li'er and Xin'er sat in a specially made carriage by Zhao Xi. Looking at the barrenness all the way, Mother Zhao and Li'er couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, only Xin'er, who was two or three years old, looked at the little animals running away in the distance and chattered happily.

Xu Qinlian was a little worried, I don't know why, since Zhao Yi came back this time, his attitude towards himself has changed. Women are inherently precocious and men, and in ancient times, sixteen or seventeen-year-old women married into wives abounded. Although Zhao Yi did not make other moves, Xu Qinlian still vaguely felt Zhao Xi's alienation.

"Cousin doesn't like me? Wasn't it good before, why is this happening? Could it be that he went to Crouching Tiger Mountain once and had someone he liked? When you get to Crouching Tiger Mountain, you must ask your brother......"

Seeing Li'er in a daze with a sad face, Zhao's mother couldn't help asking, "Li'er, what's wrong with you?" What are you thinking? ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing? It is...... It's just that I left the home where I have lived for more than ten years, and I feel a little nostalgic! Xu Qinlian was awakened suddenly, as if someone had discovered her little secret, her face turned red, and she said nervously.

Mother Zhao did not doubt that she had her, and said with a touch of sorrow: "I also have some thoughts, but as a relative of Xi'er, I must not delay his major affairs for my own sake." Li'er, Xin'er, you and I are the closest people to He'er, and we can't make it difficult for him because of our own preferences. No matter what he does is right or wrong, good or bad, even if others blame him and insult him, but we can't, we will give him the strongest support. ”

"Got it, Auntie! Don't worry, Xin'er will not cause trouble for her cousin, and she will obediently listen to her cousin. Xin'er took the lead in making a statement.

Because she has been mingling with Zhao Xi since she was a child, under the influence of Zhao Xi, the twelve-year-old Xin'er is completely the same as the twelve-year-old girl in her previous life, without the character of a woman here, she is a troublemaker.

"Really? Will you be obedient? Xu Qinlian quipped.

"Of course, why, Sister Li'er doesn't believe me? How can you not trust Xin'er? The little girl said eagerly.

"Okay, I believe, I believe you."

"That's pretty much it, you're really my good sister!"

Seeing the two little girls fighting, Zhao's mother also smiled.

"My lord, the front is the first town we passed, Liujia Town, there are more than 800 people in the town, are we here to take a rest, rushed for an hour, although we are not tired, but these people are afraid that some of them can't hold on." As the outpost, Zhao Qingshan replied.

Although Lu Zhao and the others here are very familiar, the outpost. The spies are like the army, scouting around, one is to prevent accidents, and the other is to train these soldiers in real battlefield skills.

Zhao Yi glanced at the tired people, nodded and said: "Okay, let's take a rest when we get to the town in front, but our people don't enter the town, they rest outside the town, we bring food, and there are pots and pans on this carriage, so you can directly make a fire for cooking." ”
