Chapter 32 Suppressing Bandits
The time has passed, and in the Luofeng Valley at this time, Murong Jie has already led the army to ambush here, preparing to raid the Murong Xiu military camp. But after waiting for more than half an hour, I still didn't see the signal that Ye Xiao said. began to suspect that Ye Xiao and the others were looking for their own happiness, and couldn't help but feel on fire. Just as the order was about to be given. Four figures descended from the sky and landed in front of Murong Jie's army.
Murong Jie, who didn't know why, subconsciously drew his sword and prepared to meet the enemy. His bows and arrows were full, waiting for the commander to give the order. I saw that the person who came hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." It's me. At this time, Ye Xiao grabbed the disheveled Murong Xiu and walked out of the night.
Murong Jie saw that the people who came were the three of Ye Xiao and his brother Murong Xiu, who was "thinking about it for a long time". Only then did he put his mind at ease and the sword was unsheathed, and the bow and arrow were loosened. The exit asked, "The three of you are half an hour late." Ye Xiao said indifferently: "The plan has changed, it's too late to inform you, but the result hasn't changed, tsk, someone brought it to you, and the rest is up to you." Then he said, "But you must do what you promised me." ”
Murong Jie looked at his panicked brother and said: "Naturally, this is my Youzhou country, it was a helpless move, and now that the victory or defeat is just around the corner, naturally there will be no more war." After speaking, he gave an order to his subordinates: "Tie the judge Murong Xiu to the front of the team. Soldiers will attack the enemy's camp with me, and those who surrender will not die, and those who are stubborn will not be killed!"
"Soldiers, rush with me. The shouts of his subordinates shook the sky, startling the beasts and birds in the mountains. The troops took Murong Xiu in front as a hostage and marched towards the enemy's camp.
The three of them had already retreated to the top of the mountain, looking at Murong Jie, who was dressed in armor and very powerful on his horse, and compared with Murong Jie, who only knew how to indulge in pleasure in the city some time ago. I hope he can govern this Youzhou land as he said.
Murong Jie governed the army strictly, and the enemy commander was captured as a hostage, and the soldiers who were already sloppy lost their fighting spirit. The troops were like bamboos and pushed Murong Xiu's camp sideways. All the soldiers surrendered, and the enemy camp was occupied without bloodshed. The troops are reorganized and those who surrender are dealt with.
When all was calm again, the new morning sun had driven out the boundless darkness. After the reorganization, the troops stood neatly on the martial arts arena and accepted Murong Jie's review. Murong Jie stood on the stage and looked at the soldiers below and shouted: "Soldiers, Murong Xiu has no way, oppresses the people, causes wars, and makes the lives of the people miserable, and the people are miserable. Now this king obeys the mandate of heaven and saves the people of Li from fire and water. You have already returned, and by the way, you are still my children in Youzhou. In the future, I will be loyal to the country and protect my Youzhou. ”
As soon as the words fell, thousands of soldiers below, under the leadership of the leader, held up Changge and shouted, "Victory! Victory! Victory!" The voice shook the sky and resounded in the sky. After that, Murong Jie stretched out his hand to soothe the shouts of the soldiers, pointed at Murong Xiu's henchmen who were kneeling on the stage, and said, "Now that this king has put down the rebellion, these rebellious ministers and thieves have all been punished. Today, the king is here to sacrifice the flag with their blood. According to Murong Jie's instructions, the sword and axe hand raised and fell, and more than a dozen generals were in different places, and blood gushed out along their necks.
The three of them stood on the mountain and didn't say anything in such a scene. After all, a dozen lives are very cost-effective for these tens of millions of people. Ye Xiao also understands the principle of cutting grass to eradicate the roots, otherwise he will not be hunted down and killed inexplicably. So Ye Xiao didn't blame Murong Jie for breaching.
After the head hit the ground, Murong Jie turned over his horse, drew the sword at his waist and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me into the city, if you resist, you will be killed." If there is oppression of the people and indiscriminate killing of innocent people, military law will be committed. After speaking, the army followed Murong Jie to Jijun.
Murong Xiu was captured, and his life and death are unknown. The people who defend the city will naturally not stick to it, and they will open the door to welcome the new Youzhou Hou into the city, after all, it is their Murong family's business to call back and forth, and it has nothing to do with our city guards. Murong Jie's soldiers entered the city without blood and led the Marquis of Youzhou. The surrender of troops to the people is also not guilty of any crime. The three of Ye Xiao, who were in the dark, also relaxed and left. After all, the three of them can't control what happens in the future.
Leaving Murong Jie's army, the three of them followed the route they had taken last time to a remote town not too far from Jijun. There were not many people in the town, and because of the recent war, the town was even more deserted. The three of them knocked on the door of the Yanzi family along with their previous memories. The three of them had already walked in, but they still didn't see the swallow come out to greet them.
Tie Dan asked suspiciously: "No, Sayoko is here, why didn't the swallow jump out to greet him." Even the old man didn't come out to greet us, the life-saving benefactor?" Ye Xiao said: "Maybe it's not at home." The dog leftover said: "This soldier is in chaos, who has nothing to do." It's supposed to be delicious, so I didn't care about us. Let's go straight in. ”
The three of Ye Xiao, who pushed the door in, couldn't help but feel a little sour when they saw the scene. At this time, in the house, the old man was lying on the bed to recuperate, while the swallow with abrasions on his body was feeding his grandfather gruel. When the dog leftover saw this scene, he immediately became angry and shouted, "Who did this?"
The two ancestors and grandsons, who were startled by the sudden shout, looked out of the door and saw the three Yexiao standing at the door with angry faces. The swallow immediately put down the gruel in his hand and pounced towards the night. Although Ye Xiao is only a few years older than Yanzi, her long-term practice has made her much taller than Yanzi. Looking at the swallow with tears on her face, Ye Xiao squatted down and hugged the swallow and said, "Swallow, be good." Don't cry. Tell my brother what's going on?"
Yanzi sobbed for a while, and then stabilized and said: "Big brother, you are here, a few days ago, a group of bad people came to rob our family, and grandpa gave them all the food, but they said it was not enough, and beat grandpa." Grandpa still can't get out of bed and walk. I went to serve my grandfather, and they beat me. It was my grandfather who protected me with his body. ”
After hearing this, the dog leftover was even more angry, and roared: "It's really impatient for someone who dares to do something to my sister without opening his eyes." Swallow, tell me to your dog, who did it, brother, go and avenge you. Swallow also behaved this time, no longer fighting with the dog leftovers, and said with a slight cry: "Swallow doesn't know who they are, but they said that they will come back in five days, and if they don't give anything at that time, they will kill the people in our town." ”
Ye Xiao guessed what Yanzi said after listening to what Yanzi said, reached out to wipe the tears on Yanzi's face and said, "Yanzi don't be afraid, it's okay, brother protects you." He put down the coaxed swallow, walked up to the old man and said, "Old man, are you okay?" The old man said, "It's okay, the old bones are a little useless." Ye Xiao then asked, "Why did these people come from to beat you like this?" The old man propped up his injured body, coughed a few times, and said, "It's a nearby bandit, because the war has not been peaceful recently, so he hit the idea on the heads of our ordinary people, and a few days ago he came to loot the property, because I was not satisfied with the handover, so he beat me up." ”
Ye Xiao asked again: "What kind of strength can you beat the old man like this." The old man breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "They are a group of bandits from Woniu Mountain, ten miles to the east, and there are three bosses, who are strong. The boss called Qin Hu, who was called the Flying Tiger, and his strength had reached the 2nd stage of the Martial King. The old two are called Cheetah's Tian Leopard, and their strength is also in the 2nd stage of the Sage, and these old three people are called Heaven Turning Mouses, and they rarely show up and no one knows what his name is, although they are ranked low, they are the most mysterious and strongest of the three brothers, and they have hundreds of rabble. Usually it is the victim of the party, but most of them are against the passing merchants. The government also encircled and suppressed it several times, but in the end it was all in vain, which made this group of bandits more rampant. It may be that it has not been peaceful recently, and it has cut off their financial routes, which is why the idea has been hit on us ordinary people. The last time I brought someone here, it was the second cheetah. ”
Ye Xiao said curiously: "If it's just a sage, it shouldn't hurt you so hard, is there anything powerful?" The old man looked a little embarrassed and said: "Not really, it's just that the old man, I don't want to cause more trouble, I wanted to give some money to fool the past, but these people have to inch in, so this is the end." Tomorrow is the five-day period, and they will come again, and all the people in the town are gone, and I thought that we would go out tonight to avoid the limelight, but I never thought that you would come first. ”
Ye Xiao caught the fleeting expression of the old man and thought to herself: Last time, I knew that this old man had a strange background, and he rushed to snatch the Gathering God Grass at the feet of Youhou, and without looking at the treasure, he knew that the treasure was the Gathering God Grass and its use. Now it is even more certain that he refuses to reveal his strength even if he is so badly injured by ordinary thieves, and it seems that there are many secrets hidden behind it.
But Ye Xiao can feel that the two of them are not villains, maybe there is something unspeakable that can't be said to themselves, although I don't like it in my heart, but think about the time I spent with my grandfather, what is the difference between it, even if people don't say it, then don't ask more, just take care of the safety of the swallows.
Ye Xiao said to the old man: "Old man, you can recuperate with peace of mind, you hurt my sister, and the three of us brothers are in charge of this matter." The dog leftover also said: "What bullshit tiger, leopard and rat or something, it can be as powerful as the three of our brothers, if they come, they will definitely have no return." Although Tie Dan didn't say anything, his eyes were full of anger, and naturally the three brothers advanced and retreated together.
After Ye Xiao took care of the old man and lay down to recuperate, and after retreating and bandaging Yanzi's wounds, the three brothers walked out of the house to discuss tomorrow's strategy for dealing with the enemy, this time it was no better than Murong Xiu's scum, a martial king, a sage, and a mysterious stranger. Nature cannot be taken lightly.
The three of them muttered in private, and then went their separate ways. Yexiao went out for a trip, and when I came back, I brought a lot of delicious food, chicken, duck and fish, the dishes were very uniform, and the taste was also very fragrant. Everything was plundered by the bandits, and the two of them were having a hard time these days. The dog leftover is not likely to run back. The iron egg who went home to report his safety also rushed back. A few people began to devour it. Swallow's face also returned to its previous simple smile, and began to compete with the dog's leftovers. And when they had eaten and drunk, they fell asleep. Waiting for the arrival of this group of bandits tomorrow.
When it was daybreak, there were no roosters in the town, because they had all been taken captive by the bandits. But the three of them also got up early. Each has its own workout. The swallow also prepared breakfast for everyone, although the old man had not yet recovered, but he could barely get out of bed and walk around, and several people had breakfast, waiting for the arrival of this group of bandits.
I don't know where to find the chessboard, Ye Xiao is playing against the old man. Dog leftovers and swallows are fighting as always, except for the fact that they just met yesterday, these two people look at each other unpleasantly as long as they are together. Iron Egg was lying on a chair basking in the sun. The rest of the town was gone, and only a few people were left to enjoy their own amusements.
The sun is already hanging directly above, and it is the warmest time of spring. At this time, the sound of horses' hooves galloping came from far and near in the town, and there were many people, and it seemed that there were more than a hundred or so people. Soon appeared at the entrance of the town.
