Yang Banhou asked the soldiers to count the bandits that had been killed. Fifty-six in all, and sixty-two were not killed.

At this time, the sixty-two bandits stood on the ground and did not dare to move.

All were nervous and afraid of being killed. Li Zhen put away the three-edged thorns, and his eyes swept over the bandits, as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to see through the hearts of all the bandits. He retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "The official will give you a chance now, whoever takes the initiative to answer the questions raised by the official, the official will spare him from death and let him go back to the cottage." ”

"I'm coming! I know the situation! ”

"He can't do it, I know more things, I've been following the owner of the village for several years."

"I know, I know."

……

A personal bandit enthusiastically raised his hand and responded loudly. These bandits are not saints, nor are they stubborn readers, and they are not dead-headed. As long as you survive, there's nothing you can't do. They all looked at Li Zhen with blank eyes, wanting Li Zhen to choose himself and save his own life.

Li Zhen casually pointed to a soldier and said, "You come out!" ”

The thief who was pointed at was so excited that his body trembled, and he immediately stood up, stood in front of Li Zhen in a proper manner, and said respectfully: "Official, the villain knows a lot of things, if you have any questions, just ask, the villain knows everything and says everything." ”

Li Zhen asked: "What is the name of the owner of the cottage, and how many bandits are there under his command?" ”

The thief replied honestly: "Back to the official, the owner of the village is named Zhao Tianbiao, who has been in the mountains for twelve years, and has gathered thousands of brothers under his command. There were also many family members of the brothers in the cottage, and if you count all the people, there would be no less than three or five thousand people. Official, this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to conquer. ”

Li Zhen continued to ask, "How about the weapons of the mountain thieves in the cottage?" ”

The bandit replied, "There is a team of three hundred men who use the birds' guns, and the rest are steel knives. ”

A haze flashed between Li Zhen's eyebrows, and he felt a little tricky. If the three hundred bird guns are properly trained, they are not a small force, and coupled with the fact that this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not impossible to defend.

"How much food is there?"

After being silent for a long time, Li Zhen asked again.

The thief replied solemnly: "Official, you are the right person to ask this question, and the villain understands it clearly. The owner of the village said that he was afraid of being besieged and attacked, and he had been hoarding food all these years, even if he was surrounded for half a year, there was no problem. There are also springs and prey in the mountains, which is enough for us to last for more than half a year. Official, some people have thought of ways to surround us, but they have all failed without exception, and you have come up with this way. ”

When he said this, the bandit was faintly proud.

He heard all this news from various channels.

After Li Zhen heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. He was originally thinking about how to take down the bandits, and he also thought of mobilizing soldiers from nearby counties to encircle and suppress them, and after listening to the words of the bandits, he immediately knew that people had already taken precautions, and such a method would not work. Since you can't besiege it, you can only win by surprise.

Li Zhen had an idea in his heart and asked, "What is the name of the county seat nearby, and who is the county order of the county government?" ”

The thief replied: "The name of this mountain is Moyunling, the nearby county is Renhua County, and the county commander is an old man named Wang Shou. He stayed in the position of the county magistrate of Renhua County for more than ten years and was the soil emperor of Renhua County. ”

After Li Zhen listened, he already knew the information he needed.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

The bandit was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to really fulfill his promise. The bandit was surprised, but he couldn't let go of this opportunity, turned around and ran towards the forest, and disappeared into the forest without looking back.

Huang Qiang said: "Dashuai, why did you let him go?" ”

Li Zhen explained: "One more is not too much, one less is not too much, it is better to simply let people go." After he returned to the cottage, he publicized my affairs by the way, and let the bandits know about me. Perhaps, when they found out about me, they would surrender of their own accord. ”

Yang Banhou smiled and suggested: "Dashuai, it's better to go back to Guangzhou first, and then deal with this group of bandits." ”

He also listened to the questions answered by the bandits, and thought that it would be a delay to exterminate the bandits.

Overnight, it can't be done.

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Since you have encountered a bandit, you must consider a way to solve it." We marched towards the county seat of Renhua County, settled in the county seat, and then summoned Wang Shou and mobilized the soldiers of the county seat to attack. When the time comes, find a common person who is familiar with the mountain road as a guide, attack Moyunling, solve Zhao Tianbiao, and then return to Guangzhou. ”

Although Li Zhen was anxious to exterminate the bandits and went to Beijing to accompany Zhilan to give birth, he understood that the extermination of the bandits was not an overnight thing, and what should be done had to be done well, and the bandits he encountered must be solved.

Yang Banhou got the order and escorted the bandits towards Renhua County.

……

Moyunling, in the cottage.

King Chai returned to the cottage with the remnants of the defeated army and walked towards the hall.

Zhao Tianbiao, the owner of the village, sat in the hall with a serious expression. This is a middle-aged man with a long and thin figure, about 1.85 meters tall, thin cheekbones, straight nose, thin lips, slightly inverted eyes, and a gleam in his eyes. He looked at King Chai Tian, who was kneeling in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Who dares to attack the brothers of the master of this village? ”

Chai Tianwang replied: "The lord of the village, there is an official named Li Zhen passing by with soldiers at the foot of the mountain. There are more than 20 of them, and these 20 or so soldiers all have high-quality guns, high-quality horses, and I think that the owner of the village is going to get married this month, so I want to make a big deal and make money to give gifts to the owner of the village. If there were high-quality horses and dozens of guns, the problem would be solved. It's just that the soldiers under Li Zhen's command are strong, not only did they not take advantage, but they were also beaten by Li Zhen. ”

As he spoke, Chai Tianwang was very disappointed.

Zhao Tianbiao clenched his right hand into a fist and asked in a deep voice, "The person you provoked is Li Zhen, the governor of Guangdong?" ”

"Yes, it's the governor of Guangdong!"

When Chai Tianwang heard that Zhao Tianbiao knew, his face showed joy, and he nodded yes.

The corners of Zhao Tianbiao's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly froze. He sat in his chair and felt like a pinprick under his buttocks, fidgeting. Zhao Tianbiao is not as lonely as Chai Tianwang, as the owner of the village in Moyunling, who is in charge of the eating, drinking and Lazar of thousands of people, he must know all kinds of news. Li Zhen has made a name for himself in Guangzhou, and it is impossible for Zhao Tianbiao not to know.

Chai Tianwang provoked Li Zhen, which means that he provoked Li Zhen, can he have good fruits to eat?

Zhao Tianbiao had a headache and didn't know how to solve Li Zhen's matter.

With Li Zhen's strength, if he raised troops to attack, Moyunling would definitely be wiped out, and none of them would survive.

Thinking that his own people had provoked Li Zhen, Zhao Tianbiao was angry, reached out and grabbed the teacup on the table next to him, and smashed it directly at Chai Tianwang, scolding: "You are the earliest person who followed me into the grass, it has been more than ten years, and you have not the ability to observe words and feelings, you are simply a fool." The person below is the governor of Guangdong, and you still want to rob it? You've eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard! ”

Chai Tianwang dodged the flying teacup, scratched his head, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and said in confusion: "The owner of the village, what kind of official is the governor?" Is there a county order in Renhua County? ”

"You, you ......"

Zhao Tianbiao was completely speechless, he was already petrified.

Chai Tianwang continued: "It doesn't matter if he is Li Zhen or Zhu Zhen, as long as you take action in person, you will definitely solve Li Zhen's problem." Besides, now that they have offended Li Zhen, they can't escape if they want to dodge, so they just do a big vote to celebrate the marriage of the owner of the village. ”

At this time, the thief who had previously answered Li Zhen walked in outside. With a shrewd look on his face, he clenched his fists and said: "Owner of the village, Li Zhen is escorting some of his brothers towards the county seat, and it is estimated that he will mobilize soldiers to besiege Moyunling. ”

Zhao Tianbiao said in a deep voice: "Liangzi is knotted, I can't untie it!" ”

Chai Tianwang said stubbornly: "I only recognize the owner of the village, you can give an order, let's get rid of this Li Zhen." ”

Zhao Tianbiao also began to think about a way in his heart, in fact, he was a thief, Li Zhen was a member of the government, and the two sides were already antagonistic and difficult to dissolve. Besides, he is not an ordinary bandit, with the things he has committed and the network he has now, he can't get out, and it is impossible to reconcile, and the only way is to get rid of Li Zhen.

This thought was born, and Zhao Tianbiao felt that he was already close to madness.

A little thief actually wanted to kill Li Zhen.

However, the situation has developed to this point that he can no longer stop.

Zhao Tianbiao waved his hand and said, "Follow me!" ”

Chai Tianwang followed Zhao Tianbiao towards the back hall, the two sat down in the back hall, Zhao Tianbiao said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen has gone to the county seat, and it is likely to transfer troops to attack Moyunling." As the saying goes, strike first, you take the small road and quietly rush to the county seat of Renhua County, and notify the county order Wang Shou to kill Li Zhen. As long as Li Zhen dies quietly and doesn't know how to sleep, Guangdong will also be in chaos, and we are still the emperor of the soil. ”

Zhao Tianbiao was full of yin energy, which was very scary.

When Chai Tianwang received the order, he immediately left to carry out Zhao Tianbiao's order.

Zhao Tianbiao saw Chai Tianwang leave, sighed, quickly gathered his mind, put a smile on his face, and walked briskly towards the back mountain. The back mountain of Moyunling is inhabited by many women, children, old and weak, all of whom are the wives and children and parents of Zhao Tianbiao's brothers. In the depths of the back mountain, it is even more sparsely populated, and few people come and go.

However, there is a house here.

Outside the room, sat a woman dressed in white.

The woman's face was melancholy, and her long black hair was draped over her back. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a hint of sadness on her stunning face. If Li Zhen was here, he would be able to recognize that the woman in front of him was Fang Su, who had left Guangdong at the beginning. She heard footsteps coming, and knew that it was Zhao Tianbiao, the owner of the village, who was coming, so she immediately got up and walked towards the house.

Zhao Tianbiao walked outside the house, saw Fang Su close the door, and sighed again.

This situation is really a headache!

He met Fang Su at the foot of the mountain, when Fang Su was in a coma.

Zhao Tianbiao saw Fang Su's beautiful face, and there was a touch of sadness and sadness on his face, his heart suddenly melted, and Fang Su fell in love at first sight, thinking of marrying Fang Su as his wife. When Fang Su woke up, he was extremely grateful to Zhao Tianbiao, but after Zhao Tianbiao expressed his intentions, Fang Su didn't care about Zhao Tianbiao at all.

Such a result made Zhao Tianbiao quite helpless.

In fact, with Zhao Tianbiao's martial arts, he can completely suppress Fang Su, and he can take tough measures. But he really likes Fang Su, and he moved Fang Su with his heart and mind, and achieved the return of beauty.

failed again and again, but failed to discourage Zhao Tianbiao.

Zhao Tianbiao still couldn't talk to Fang Su, he stopped outside the door for a long time, and then turned around and prepared to leave.
