After waiting for a short time, I heard a rumbling footsteps in the distance. The sound of footsteps was very mixed, and there was the sound of iron clashing, and it was obvious that it was a large army advancing in this direction. Wei Hong and Lei Chuhan didn't feel anything, Liu Cheng and the bandits next to him turned pale with fright, in the past, when they met ordinary officers and soldiers, they could run away, and this time they had to come into contact with the Hangzhou City garrison face to face, which can be said to challenge the limit of their courage.

In the past, Wei Hong had always thought that 2,000 people was a small number. But when the Hangzhou garrison came from far to near, Wei Hong intuitively felt the momentum of the 2,000 troops for the first time. Soldiers are born with an aura that is different from ordinary people, which is the spirit of slaughter, the spirit of bravery, and the spirit of justice that makes the wicked see the heart and soul. Coupled with the armor covered on his body and the halberd in his hand, he has a suffocating sense of oppression.

Two thousand people, four thousand eyes, looked at Wei Hong in unison, and the focused eyes made Wei Hong a little weak. In front of the army came a general on horseback, middle-aged, but extraordinary, his black beard exploded on both sides of his face, and he was not angry and arrogant: "Who is the one who stands in the way?" Leave quickly, if the march is delayed, you will be beheaded and shown to the public! ”

Wei Hong took a deep breath, lifted his mind, and said to the general on the horse: "General! Are you here to save a man? This person's name is Wei Hong? ”

"Exactly! How do you know? The general stared at Wei Hong with a round gaze and looked at Wei Hong very vigilantly. Although the purpose of this dispatch is not a secret, the intention of the march is known, and the general is still instinctively vigilant.

Wei Hongqiang squeezed out a smile: "General, I am the person you want to rescue this time!" ”

"Oh?" When the general heard this, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Wei Hong, and looked at Wei Hong carefully. This general is not a reckless man, he inquired about Wei Hong's details before he came, and knew that Wei Hong not only had a great relationship with Hongyuan Commercial Bank, but also Fang Zhizhi's mentor. His status is prominent, and it is by no means comparable to his small commander.

Seeing that Wei Hong's appearance was similar to what he expected, the general hurriedly saluted Wei Hong: "The last general, Bian Xi, the commander of the Hangzhou army, has seen Wei Gongzi!" ”

Wei Hong hurriedly returned the salute: "The general must not be polite, this time the general personally led the troops here, which really made Wei feel uneasy, and Wei thanked him here." However, there is some misunderstanding in this, it is not the mountain bandit here who wants to hurt the life of Wei Mou, but a thief named Sun Zihang. Please also ask the general to spare these mountain bandits. ”

Bian Xi glanced at Liu Cheng and the others not far away, and was very puzzled in his heart: "Son, let's not talk about it for the time being, since the last general has already brought troops here, why not get rid of these mountain bandits who are doing evil in ordinary times?" To solve the worries of the local people? The identity of the son is prominent, if he protects these mountain bandits, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right? ”

Wei Hong had long expected this to be the case, so he said without hurrying: "The general listened to me after speaking, although these people are mountain bandits, they have never made a living by robbing houses and houses, even if they are robbed, they are all aimed at those corrupt officials who are rich and unkind." It can be seen that these people are all men with blood surnames! Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that some of the mountain bandits tried their best to protect Wei, I am afraid that the general's coming this time would only bring Wei's head back, so the general would have to thank them more. ”

Even after listening to Wei Hong's words, Bian Xi still did not discourage the desire to exterminate the mountain bandits, after all, they were soldiers and the mountain bandits have always been mortal enemies.

Seeing that Bian Xi was speechless, Wei Hong's eyes rolled and said, "General, to say something unpleasant, if I use my identity to pressure you and force you to spare them, will you agree?" ”

"This ......" Bian Xi didn't know how to answer, after all, Wei Hong was a noble mentor, and he had a lot to do with characters like Fang Yizhi, and annoying Wei Hong was equivalent to messing with Fang Yizhi, and it was equivalent to messing with Fang Xuanling, which was not good for anyone.

Wei Hong chuckled and said: "Of course, the general came here to rescue Wei, Wei is grateful to Dade, so naturally he will not embarrass the general so much." Why don't you give the general some pointers? ”

"Please speak up to Master Wei!"

"There are more than 100 mountain bandits here, if you incorporate all of them into the army, you can not only sell me a favor, but also truthfully report to your boss, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. I don't know what the general wants? ”

Bian Xi lowered his head and pondered, if it was as Wei Hong said, it was indeed a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. And if it is the opposite, although it can exterminate the mountain bandits, it is not worth it to form a bond with Wei Hong. After a short period of thought, Bian Xi nodded: "In this way, I will listen to Wei Gongzi." Someone's coming! Pass my order, send two people up the mountain to persuade them to surrender, if they return to the way, they will be happy, if they are obsessed, they will step on this mountain today! ”

"No!" The two soldiers received the order and marched up the hill.

Wei Hong hurriedly gave Liu Cheng a look, asked Liu Cheng to go up with them, and waited until he arrived at the cottage to tell Zhou Ding what happened here, lest Zhou Ding's head be on the wrong line for a while and do something irreparable.

Wei Hong thought that this matter was coming to an end, but he didn't think about it, but he suddenly said: "Wei Gongzi, when you come, you will find that there is a person whose whereabouts are suspicious, so I will arrest him." After some interrogation, it was learned that this person came down from this mountain, and when he left, he seriously injured Zhou Ding, the leader of the mountain bandits! I don't know if this person is a friend of Wei Gongzi? "Bian Xi's idea is very simple, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, since he seriously injured Zhou Ding, it must be to protect Wei Hong.

Hearing this, Wei Hong was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, pulling Bian Xi's clothes and saying, "That person is called Sun Zihang?" ”

Seeing Wei Hong's reaction so big, Bian Xi was even more sure that the man and Wei Hong were friends, so he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, this person is Sun Zihang!" ”

It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Wei Hongzheng was worried that he couldn't catch the scourge of Sun Zihang, but he didn't expect to be sent by Bian Xi like a gift. Wei Hong urged impatiently: "Where is Sun Zihang now?" ”

"It's in the army! Wei Gongzi, do you want to meet this friend of yours? ”

Wei Hong nodded like pounding garlic, and said with joy: "Such a good friend, I naturally want to meet him!" ”
