In the evening, the mountain wind howled and the sky was dark, and two blazing bonfires were lit in the open space at the foot of Yinzhu Mountain, and the "crackling" sparks splashed out from time to time, and the curling smoke soared upward, and soon covered the ancient temple on the top of the mountain that Wu Ming's special agent brother was searching.

Under the guns of Wu Ming's two companies of officers and soldiers, the four hundred and thirty-six bandits slowly marched in a loose line, one by one put the guns, knives in their hands, and the belt around their waists on the ground in the center, and then silently walked to the front to concentrate, waiting for the unknown fate in fear.

Lu Chengrong, the bandit leader who was not tall and extraordinary, stood in the open space between the two large bonfires, glanced at the warning circle composed of three hundred officers and soldiers under Wu Ming's command, and then looked at the outer circle surrounded by thousands of Quzhou border officers and soldiers outside the warning circle, smiled bitterly, and turned to Wu Ming beside him:

"Brother Wu, to put it mildly, I didn't think much of you before, but I was afraid of the strength of the officers and soldiers under your command, and the righteousness of the gang of Mao Liangwu behind you, so I have never allowed my brothers to cross the line for so many years, some time ago, Li San, the head of Mao Liangwu, came to see me quietly, and persuaded me to disband my brothers and fly away, don't embarrass you......"

"I laughed at him for being cowardly, and didn't take his words seriously at all, thinking that even if Wu Ming from Weizhen Jiangsu and Zhejiang came, we would have to learn and learn, and it would be too late to leave when the time came, Ha Luha didn't realize that I Lu underestimated the heroes of the world, no wonder, you are a soldier, I am a bandit, a natural opponent, I don't blame you."

Wu Ming shook his head regretfully: "Let's go, I'll call you Brother Lu...... Brother Lu, there are too many innocent people you have killed, if you only rob those unscrupulous big families or past businessmen in the township who are doing evil, and your hands are not bloody, how can I, Wu Ming, not go against you, and even give you a thumbs up in private"

"However, you and your men have committed the most unforgivable crime, that is, the rape of women and the slaughter of innocent children, and the younger brother cannot ignore them."

Lu Chengrong raised his head and smiled: "Since ancient times, what heroic man has not killed?" Which hero is not greedy for sex? Ha Lu Ha don't say this, become a king and defeat the king, if you want to kill or chop, I, Lu Mou, admit it, I just ask you to keep your promise and let go of the brothers under Lu's command. ”

Wu Ming was very painful in his heart, his face showed a look of guilt, and after glancing around, he whispered in Lu Chengrong's ear, "Have you ever heard of a lone wolf on the green forest road?" ”

Lu Chengrong was immediately stunned: "Shenlong can't see the head but not the end, the biggest regret in my life is that I can't see this fellow master, don't you know?" ”

Wu Ming nodded, raised his finger and pointed at his heart: "Brother Lu, you don't have any regrets, you have already seen it now...... The reason why I tell you this is because I want you to walk with peace of mind. ”

Lu Chengrong was extremely shocked, his body shook, he raised his hand and put it down, his Adam's apple squirmed violently, but he couldn't say a word.

Wu Ming sighed: "Brother Lu, if you don't do so many hurtful things, maybe we can become good brothers, and my brother and my army will also open the door for you...... But now, there is no room for it, but I can assure you that I will treat your family well, and I will do what I say."

"It is estimated that at this time, your second brother and your eldest son have already changed into the military uniforms of the officers and soldiers under my command on the top of the mountain, and after I hand you over to the officers and soldiers in Quzhou, I will let your second brother lead a company brother under my command, and send your two wives and children, together with several family members in charge, to Maoliangwu overnight to live in peace. I guess you also know that it is my territory, and it is very safe, so don't worry."

Lu Chengrong stared at Wu Ming's eyes, and the tears that poured out silently slid down his dark face: "Xie Lu, Xie ......"

Wu Ming nodded, didn't say anything, strode away from Lu Chengrong, and heard Lu Chengrong shouting at him, so he had to turn around and return to Lu Chengrong, took the jade plate that Lu Chengrong ripped off from his neck, looked at it and put it in his pocket, and nodded to Lu Chengrong who kept whispering.

Jiang Boqing, who was already waiting impatiently next to him, saw Wu Ming beckoning to him, and immediately jumped out and ordered loudly, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers under his command rushed through the gap between the officers and soldiers under Wu Ming's command, and tied up all the more than 400 bandits who were howling in terror in the circle.

Jiang Boqing personally led more than a dozen people to surround the bandit leader Lu Chengrong, Lu Chengrong was very calm, and let Jiang Boqing command the soldiers to tie him into a zongzi, and he didn't snort from beginning to end.

But when he was dragged away, Lu Chengrong twisted his neck desperately, looked at Wu Ming who was not far away with a sad face, and suddenly broke free from the three officers and soldiers, and his tied body bounced weirdly from the ground, and his knees hit the ground with a bang, and he knocked down three times in front of Wu Ming.

Wu Ming walked to the bonfire, took out the jade plaque in his pocket and looked at it carefully, and handed the jade plaque to Zhang Dongning, who came to his side: "Send it to Third Brother Li as soon as possible...... When the family members of each mountain and village see this jade plaque, they will naturally know how to choose. ”

"Where are we going to camp next? How long is the term? Zhang Dongning asked.

Wu Ming thought for a while: "Stay here tonight, and return to Shangshang Town early tomorrow morning to tell Third Brother Li that I will stay in Shangshang Town for three days, and if I don't make a choice after three days, I will do it." ”

"Understood"

The brothers of the two companies had sorted and bundled all the captured weapons on the ground, and Wu Ming left the second battalion commander Yang Sixian to lead his troops to leave behind the brothers of the spy company on the mountain, and returned to the headquarters at the entrance of the village under the escort of a squad of guards.

Luo Zhuoying and the others were discussing hotly in the headquarters, and when they saw Wu Ming coming back, they knew that the matter had been done, and they praised Wu Ming's soldiers without a fight, but before they could say a few words, they heard bursts of gunfire and terrible screams from the south.

Everyone was greatly stunned, and saw Wu Ming sitting on the bamboo chair, taking out a cigarette and lighting it slowly, ignoring the gunshots and wails that shook the mountains, and immediately understood that a large-scale execution of bandits was going on outside.

After a while, Wu Ming raised his head and explained to Luo Zhuoying and the others, who were looking at him nervously:

"The younger brother is directly under the leadership of the Provincial Security Department, and he has no right to dispose of local affairs, so he can only hand over people to the Quzhou Border Defense Command... As for what they should do, the younger brother has no right to interfere...... In fact, among this group of captives, there are many good seedlings of mountain soldiers, and even steep places are like walking on flat ground, it's a pity."

After listening to Wu Ming's words, Luo Zhuoying and the others finally understood that what he said before was not a joke, and finally understood what Wu Ming's "innocence" was, and they felt greatly shocked again
