The thatched houses in Qingyan Village, or the cave dwelling like savages, the environment is worrying. Even if you can't light an open flame and cause a large area of fire, as long as you ignite the thatch, it will be enough to smoke the people in the cave to death.

In this way, the army wiped out most of these vicious and brutal bandits with very few casualties. After daybreak, the army entered the valley and eliminated the remaining bandits, and carried away all the gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and silk they had looted.

Zhao You scratched his head: "Luo Shangshu said that I have made up for it and did not punish me." After I returned to Xia's house, I heard the message you left for Xia Daxue, so I came non-stop. ”

"I knew they would." I stood up and patted Zhaoyou, "Take me to Qingyan Village." ”

Zhaoyou was surprised.

Three hours later, we appeared in Qingyan Village.

Qingyan Village is located in a valley near the city.

The bandit occupies this mine, which can barely be considered a mine, but there is a lot of rubble around, mixed with mud, and overgrown with weeds, unlike a high-value mine that can be dug up, so it has not been mined. The valley is surrounded by towering peaks with lush greenery and several large trees growing on the tops. But the stone walls are all bare, with the occasional weed.

The bandits must not know the art of war, otherwise they would never have burrowed in such a dangerous place.

After the fire, the valley was in shambles, with broken and charred trees and the remains of the bandits' dwellings everywhere.

I looked around and saw a stream around: "Where is the body of the bandit?" Don't throw it into the river and pollute the water. ”

"They dug a big hole in the mud over there and threw all the bodies there." Zhaoyou pointed to an uneven mud field at the mouth of the valley, and there was no sadness on his face.

I asked, "Aren't you sad that the army killed your former brother?" ”

Zhaoyou shook his head: "Several of my sworn brothers were killed by the darts a few months ago. There is no brother of mine among them. However, I didn't see my brother's body either, and he may have fled in the chaos......"

Me: "Then you have to be careful lest he come for revenge." ”

Zhaoyou: "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

He can become the second leader, and it is not just because he joined early. In the early days of the establishment of the cottage, he also called on everyone to become chivalrous and righteous warriors with high morale, but later, more and more untouchable hooligans were recruited, and the cottage was no longer under his control. And he was used to seeing those rough people running rampant, and he was completely led crooked by them, and then he became a second-in-command in vain.

I said, "I need a stronghold to train the 'Princess Army'." Until I find reliable people, you have to be responsible for nurturing them. ”

Zhaoyou was shocked.

This side was burned by the fire, and the smell of smoke in the air did not dissipate, so it was not advisable to stay for a long time.

He and I disguised ourselves and went back to the woods of Yanju City together.

In the wooden house, Xiaowan was drying salted fish, and when he saw the man next to me, he asked, "Who is he?" ”

Zhao You didn't answer, and turned to look at me.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "He's my loyal subordinate." ”

Zhaoyou bowed his head, as if he was a little aggrieved because I didn't introduce him to my outer room.

Xiao Wan reported to me the list, and most of the recruits were driven hawkers from Yanju City. They lost their homes and businesses, and hated the current emperor to the core. In these lists, Lu Yanran's family of three is impressively listed.

I was very helpless: "...... Why are there yellow-haired children like ingots? ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
