Chapter 236: The Tiger Returns to the Mountain?
Mi Yan let Lou Qu go and watched him run back to the mountains.
The female captain of the guard said to her, "General, how can you believe the words of the thief? If you let him go back, it's like a tiger returning to the mountain!"
"The tiger returns to the mountain?" Mi Yan shook her head, pointed to the tiger in the cage and said, "The real tiger is here! Moreover, Lou Qu dared to swear to the sky, which must not be a lie. I think he'll take those people down the mountain before sunset. If the problem of bandits can be solved, it is also a good thing. β
"But general, what if the thief breaks his promise and hides after returning to the mountain?"
"It's a big deal to transfer troops to Yuyin County, and I will personally go up the mountain to exterminate them!" Mi Yan replied.
"Then if the thieves really come down the mountain, but launch an attack on our army......"
"You also saw it just now, let my tiger girl out, and thousands of thieves scattered and fled. Mi Yan said, "We still have 500 elite soldiers, are we afraid of a group of rabble?"
"Well, the General's pet is too scary. The female guard glanced at the tiger in the cage.
Mi Yan's female soldiers set up camp in place and lit a fire to cook.
Lou Qu returned to the mountain, and when the thieves saw it, they immediately greeted him: "Big brother, weren't you arrested?"
"Big brother, why are you back?"
"What, you want me to lose my head?" Lou Qu's eyes widened.
The thieves hurriedly shook their heads: "We don't have such intentions! It is a great joy that the eldest brother can come back!"
"Cut! Gather all the brothers, I have something to say!" Lou Qu took off the blue turban and put it back on.
The thieves immediately blew the bamboo whistle and called out to everyone.
The thief who stayed by Lou Qu's side asked curiously, "Big brother, that tigress is extremely fierce, how did you escape?"
"Smack!" Lou Qu raised his hand and gave him a slap, which made the man dizzy and his eyes were full of stars.
"Big brother, why are you beating him?" asked the thief next to him hurriedly.
"Who told him to talk nonsense!" Lou Qu snorted coldly, "Listen to me, that female general under the mountain, that's my mother! I'm your eldest brother, so you have to call her your mother, whoever dares to be disrespectful, next time it's not a big-eared melon seed, Lao Tzu will cut off his head directly!"
All the bandits looked at each other, confused.
The one who was beaten covered his face and asked, "Big, big, what about the mother...... That girl looks more than ten years younger than you, how could she have given birth to a son as old as you?"
"Yes, big brother, how is it possible?" the other thieves expressed their doubts.
"Let's talk about it when we get here!" Lou Qu led people to the cottage wooden platform and watched the younger brothers below continue to gather.
After all the five thousand thieves gathered, he stepped forward, looked down at everyone and shouted, "Little ones, listen to Lao Tzu!"
As soon as Lou Qu spoke, everyone fell silent.
Everyone stared at him, waiting for him to continue talking.
Lou Qu looked around, nodded with satisfaction, coughed lightly and said loudly: "Today is the first time we robbed the Dao, and it is also the last!"
"Boom!" immediately fried the pot, and the bandits panicked.
Is this the end of the gang? Just because the first robbery was unsuccessful?
"Quiet!" Lou Qu raised his hand to make a stop movement, and the scene was immediately silent. He looked at the five thousand thieves and continued, "Just now we stopped that person, it was Ning Ze's wife!"
"Which Ning Ze?" asked someone next to him curiously.
"Which Ning Ze?" Lou Qu said with a smile, "Princess Yuanxi's military advisor, assisted her from scratch, occupied Jinzhou, attacked Hancheng, and now has taken Liangzhou, according to the land of the two cities of Jiangzhou." The imperial court has just issued an order to seal his five-grade Yingyang general, Danyang Marquis, and Jinzhou Prefecture Mu Ning Ze!"
The five thousand thieves were shocked, Ning Ze was powerful, they knew it, and no one wanted to provoke him. Originally, he was the king of the mountain, and a big man like that should not make a move. But intercepting his wife, that would be a fatal mistake! If Ning Ze came over, who would be able to withstand it? The Sun family's power was so great, wouldn't it be wiped out in front of him?
Seeing that everyone was in a panic, Lou Qu said: "Brothers, don't worry! Lao Tzu just recognized Mrs. Mi as his mother, and Hou Ye Ning is Lao Tzu's father! Robbing Mrs. Hou Ye is a capital crime, but now Lao Tzu is the son of Hou Ye, and everyone will follow Lao Tzu to enjoy happiness in the future!"
"Big brother, you actually recognize Mrs. Mi as your mother? You are this age, how old is she? How old is Ning Ze?"
"Shut up!" Lou Qu said angrily, "You didn't know just now, so it's okay." But I've already said that it's my father. My father and mother are your father and mother, how can there be a reason for a son to call his parents by their names? Who dares to commit it again, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"
"Big brother, don't you think it's ridiculous? If you really want to admit it, you will be laughed at by the world!"
"Laugh and laugh!" Lou Qu crossed his hands on his hips, "Lao Tzu has not been laughed at since he was a child? And you, which one has not been ridiculed all the time? Why? When you ask for food, your face is trampled under your feet, and now you want to pick it up? I tell you, Lao Tzu will sit on this identity, and he will be the son of the Hou Ye in the future, and he will be majestic wherever he goes! If my own father becomes the emperor, Lao Tzu will be the prince! Shame? What is there to be ashamed of?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the bandits at the scene all lit up.
"Big brother, you have a point! We are not people who want to be faced, you want to be a prince, everyone is the brother of the prince, but you are noble! Maybe you can be a big official in the future, and you will be glorious!"
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"But big brother, that Ning ...... Will your father recognize you as a son?"
"That's right, such a big man would recognize a thief as his son?"
"Big brother, it can't be your wishful thinking, right?"
Listening to the continuous questioning of the crowd, Lou Qu said loudly: "My mother agreed! This time I went up the mountain to tell my mother, I want to take you down the mountain to join her, and then follow to find my father! So don't talk nonsense, quickly pack up your things, bring all the things that can be used in the cottage, and go down the mountain to see our mother before sunset! Why don't you hurry?"
"Eh, do you hear that, all move!" the bandits moved quickly.
As the day passed, the sun gradually ran to the west, and there was still half a face left on the mountain.
The female guard chief came to Mi Yan's tent and said, "General, the sun is about to go down! I don't think those bandits will come, so let's hurry up before it gets dark and move on!"
"Wait!" Mi Yan said, "People don't stand without faith, I said that when the sun sets, you must wait!"
"General, you tell them credit, those thieves may not be trustworthy to you!" the female guard commander advised her, "Besides, it is more dangerous after nightfall, what if those thieves sneak attack at night?"
"Am I afraid?" Mi Yan stood up and walked to the weapon rack to pick up her serrated knife, "If they dare to attack at night, they will die under my sword!"
Seeing that Mi Yan couldn't be persuaded to move, the female guard chief had no choice but to wait with her.
As the sun goes down, it disappears completely.
The female guard sighed: "General, look! How can the thieves have credibility? Lou Qu must have gone into hiding when he fled back to the mountains." Maybe they're planning how to attack our army! Let's make plans early. β
Mi Yan was also a little disappointed when she saw the sun that was about to set completely, so she nodded and said, "In that case, let's hurry up and walk more before nightfall." β
"Yes!" the female guard chief immediately beckoned to the female soldier and prepared to set off.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud voice, as if a lot of people were talking, and they were coming this way.
The female captain of the guard hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to gather and stand ready for battle.
The voice got closer and closer, and after a while, I saw thousands of thieves walking towards this side, and the leader was Lou Qu.
"Array!" The female guard captain was worried that the other party had bad intentions, and immediately gave an order to let the soldiers enter the defensive formation.
Mi Yan also held a serrated knife in her hand and stood next to the tiger cage.
Seeing this formation, Lou Qu ordered the bandit troops to stop temporarily, ran to the front alone and knelt down, shouting at the top of his voice: "Mother, the child is back with his brothers!"
The thousands of thieves behind hesitated, but they all followed, knelt down in order behind Lou Qu, and shouted in unison: "Motherββ!!"
Mi Yan's face was flushed, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you shouting nonsense?!"
"That's it, what are you shouting?!" Lou Qu hurriedly turned around and shouted at the bandits, "Lao Tzu shouted mother, you don't have to shout!"
"But big brother, you said it yourself. Someone in the back said, "Your mother is our mother!"
"Shut up!" Lou Qu glared at him, and said in his heart, can't he look at his eyes? turned his head and immediately changed to a smiling face, "Mother, brothers, don't mind!"
"Don't call me mother!" Mi Yan said urgently.
"Oh, mother, the child and his brothers come to you, and we will do whatever you say in the future!" Lou Qu said with a smile.
"You are really shameless! How can I accept you as a righteous son?" Although Mi Yan is married to Ning Ze, she has not yet given birth to children, where is she mentally prepared to be called a mother? Not to mention that the other party is nine years older than herself, and only six years younger than her father.
When Lou Qu heard her say this, he immediately smiled and said, "How can you be a righteous son? Of course not! Mother! You are my own mother, I am your own son!"
Mi Yan was even more speechless, the other party's shamelessness was really beyond her imagination: "Don't talk nonsense! It's a good thing that you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I can take everyone to see your husband." Maybe he will arrange an identity for everyone, at least better than a bandit. The fact that you were able to go down the mountain shows that you are not willing to be thieves, and that it is better to be a soldier and eat food than you are now. It is getting late, so you should set up camp five miles from here, and have a good rest. Hurry with me tomorrow morning!Remind you, it's best not to have bad intentions, or I'll show no mercy to this sawtooth knife!"
"Mother, look at what you said!" Lou Qu said with a smile, "How can a son have bad intentions towards his mother? Being a mother and my father's son is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." I am your own son, and these are my brothers, that is, your juniors. Whoever dares to be disrespectful to you, your son will be the first to bypass him!"
Mi Yan: "......"
