Chapter 52: The Story of the Centipede Mountain Bandits (I)

Since that day, after rescuing the villagers in Wangbei Village, Ma Lin, who returned to Mujiaji, has lived a month of leisure.

In addition to some immortals who came to vote halfway, there were also a few who saw minor illnesses and surveyed the tombs. Ma Lin spent the rest of his time concentrating on cultivation and spending peace in peace.

But today......

"Hook...... Smack"

"Hook...... Smack"

Ma Lin was meditating and cultivating in the hall when he was suddenly disturbed by a noisy sound outside.

Distraught, Ma Lin's face was a little uneasy, and he frowned and whispered: "Ji Ming, you go and see what's going on outside!" ”

A puff of green smoke suddenly rose from the many yellow tablets in the hall, and after a few breaths, it drifted outside the courtyard and disappeared.

Ma Lin patted his somewhat numb legs, slowly stood up, sat down on a chair beside him, sipped tea, and waited for Ji Ming's return.

After waiting for a while, Ji Ming trotted all the way outside and came in. Ji Ming's colorful hair was very eye-catching in the solemn hall.

Ji Ming clenched his fists, bowed slightly, and stammered: "Yu~ Tell Daxian, there is a group of bandits in the village~ village!" ”

"Bandits!" Ma Lin frowned and muttered softly, and asked again, "How many people?" ”

Ji Ming lowered his head, pulled his fingers, and counted: "There are more than twenty!" ”

"What did the bandits do when they entered the village?" Ma Lin put down the teacup and asked.

"It seems that they are hiding in the house and can't come out, and the bandits are slamming the door from house to house!" Ji Ming spoke very smoothly this time.

Ma Lin nodded and waved his hand to make Ji Ming retreat. Ji Ming bowed slightly, turned into a puff of green smoke, and attached it to the yellow tablet.

Ma Lin walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped and whispered a few incantations.

After a while, the python came in from outside with a strong green smoke.

The two said hello briefly, and Ma Lin said straight to the point: "Dali, you also saw those bandits outside, can we take care of this matter?" ”

The python had a difficult face: "Daxian, this is not within our purview!" If there are some demons among the bandits, we can still manage them, but now they are some ordinary bandits, and we can't take action! ”

Ma Lin's eyes stared at the python vigorously, his face was a little unsightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Then let's just watch them make trouble?" ”

The python said solemnly: "Everything has its own rules, and since we have the power that ordinary people do not have, then we will be subject to extraordinary constraints." For example, we can't easily show up in front of ordinary people, otherwise, aside from the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, even Mrs. Hu San will not be able to spare us! ”

After hearing this, Ma Lin had anger on his face, slammed the arm of the chair hard, and sighed: "Hey! ”

The python looked at Ma Lin like this, and knew that Ma Lin felt uncomfortable, so he turned his brain around and reminded him: "Daxian, we can't take care of the bandits, but someone can take care of it!" ”

Ma Lin was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the python vigorously with a puzzled face: "Can someone take care of it?" ”

The python's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Township office!" ”

"Wang Dafa? Just that straw bag, don't underestimate him, he is a good hand at bullying the people, but forget about this bandit! Ma Lin's face fell, and there was some disdain in his words.

"That's not necessarily, if you don't do it in his position, you can't do it, since Wang Dafa can do the position of security captain, then he must have his outstanding ability!" Speaking of this, the python paused vigorously, looked at Ma Lin, and continued: "If he can't do it, let's push him!" ”

Ma Lin pondered for a moment before nodding: "Okay, let's ask this Wang Dafa for help!" ”

As he spoke, Ma Lin stood up, walked quickly to the side of the incense case, picked up a pen and a piece of yellow paper, and wrote "brush".

Writing and writing, Ma Lin suddenly threw the pen, turned his head and said vigorously to the python: "Dali, come with me, only send a letter over, I'm afraid Wang Dafa won't pay attention to it, or go in person and urge him to send troops quickly!" ”

……

Ma Lin explained his intention to Wang Dafa with a serious face, but Wang Dafa kept drinking with a teaglass.

Ma Lin was anxious and asked, "When can Captain Wang send troops?" ”

Wang Dafa put down the teacup with an embarrassed face, looked at Ma Lin and said: "Daxian, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but the matter of sending troops is not something I can say alone!" ”

Wang Dafa saw that Ma Lin's face was pale, so he continued with a bitter face: "Daxian, even if I can send troops, before sending troops, each militia has to pay a promotion fee. If you are unfortunate enough to die in battle, it will be a large amount of settling-in expenses, who will pay for this money! ”

Saying that, Wang Dafa lowered his voice again: "Daxian, you may not know the strength of my security team, it's okay to scare the people, but I'm afraid I can't beat the bandits!" ”

Ma Lin stalked his neck, and said with a calm face: "What do you security team do to eat, every year the town gives you so much money, you can't beat a bandit." Push three and four to resist. ”

Wang Dafa smiled bitterly: "Daxian, it's really not that I pushed back and blocked, the big man above didn't give us a single copper, and these Yulu in our team were all donated by big families in the town!" This bandit didn't steal his house, and he didn't rob his house, and these big families would definitely not come up with this outbreak! ”

Ma Lin looked at Wang Dafa in a daze, his face became more and more complicated, he suddenly sighed, and said softly: "Then these bandits, no one cares?" ”

"Tube? Who cares? Wang Dafa's words were full of ridicule: "Now that the mountains and rivers are declining, the court and the warlords are fighting for power and profit, intrigue, who will care about the life and death of ordinary people." ”

Wang Dafa paced to Ma Lin's side, and said with a little emotion on his face: "Daxian, I know that you are a good person, and you want to help those ordinary people!" I also want to be a good official, I also want to protect the territory and the people, and I also want to exterminate those bandits. But this environment doesn't allow it, and the strength in my hands doesn't allow it! ”

Ma Lin was stunned and didn't speak, only lowered his head, his face was a little pale, and he felt that his outlook on life in the past ten years had been a little impacted.

Wang Dafa returned to his seat, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "Daxian, why don't you stay with me today, wait for a few days, the bandits are done looting, the situation is stable, you go back!" ”

Ma Lin seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, raised his head suddenly, stared at Wang Dafa's eyes, and said with a solemn expression: "Captain Wang, I have money, if I come out with this money, I don't know if Captain Wang can send troops to suppress the bandits." ”

Ma Lin paused and continued: "In addition, I owe Captain Wang a favor, if Captain Wang has something in the future, I will definitely not shirk if I can help!" ”

Wang Dafa's face was stunned, his eyes were enlarged and he looked at Ma Lin for a long time before he said with a wry smile: "Daxian, why are you so hard!" ”

Ma Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "Captain Wang doesn't have to worry too much, because of some things, it is inconvenient for the Immortal Family to take action directly, but we don't have a lot of other help!" ”

Seeing that Wang Dafa had a plan to ask carefully, Ma Lin waved his hand, stopped Wang Dafa's words, and said in a low voice: "Captain Wang, there are some things I can do, but I can't say it, I hope Captain Wang will keep it secret!" ”

Wang Dafa really looked at Mo Shen with a taboo expression for a while, and nodded cautiously.

Since Wang Dafa agreed to send troops, he must make preparations before and after the war, otherwise he will not be responsible for the lives of the militia of the security team, and he will be careless of people's lives.

Ma Lin first sent a few immortal families to make a horse scout to explore the terrain around the bandit camp. A few more people with advanced mana were sent to the bandit village to inquire about the personnel structure and arming situation.

A day later, a freshly baked map was placed in front of Ma Lin and Wang Dafa.

Wang Dafa said with emotion: "No wonder there will be people who explain and intercept the religion in the Romance of the Gods, not to mention their strength, just say that this is to explore intelligence, there is no one to compare."

The two armies are fighting, and if the details of one side are found out by the other side, how can this battle be fought. It's not up to others to handle! ”

Ma Lin was also very emotional, he didn't expect that in addition to subduing demons and eliminating demons, the immortal families also had such a big role in these things, and he couldn't help but be proud of these immortals under him.
