From Pingnan County to Lianhua County, which is located at the junction of Guangxi and Guangzhou, there are about 800 miles of road.

It is not very difficult for the 1,400 new army to escort 1,700 old and weak soldiers of the Cantonese armed army, but it is not an easy task.

During the period, it is necessary to consider not only the eating and drinking problems of these people, but also the weather, travel route and other factors.

The weather in Guangxi Province is hot and sultry, with continuous rain and many poisonous insects.

Considering that there are too many people, it is difficult to manage.

Yu Ke divided the 1,700 Cantonese armed forces into ten parts, and set off in batches from different routes.

That is, a company of new troops, escorting 170 Cantonese armed forces.

Nearly half a month later.

The 1,700-strong garrison of the Cantonese armed forces was finally escorted to Lianhua County.

When the number of people was counted, it was found that there were less than 1,500 people left in the garrison of the Guangdong armed forces.

Of the more than 200 people missing, most of them ran away secretly while on the road, and a small number contracted malaria or other emergencies and died on the way.

More than a dozen of the 1,400 new troops under his command also died.

Yu Ke also expected this.

In ancient times, marching and fighting were like this, and the most difficult thing was not to engage the enemy, but to send people to battle, or to deal with prisoners.

A large part of the reason why Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers is that there is no better way to deal with it.

If these 400,000 people are released back to Zhao State, I am afraid that Zhao State will make a comeback and commit Great Qin again.

If it is not returned to the Zhao State, the food consumed by these 400,000 people every day will be difficult for Daqin to bear.

I had to kill it.

Yu Ke ordered people to set up camp outside Lianhua County.

After settling all the soldiers, Yu Ke took two guards and walked into a wine store in the county.

"Three guest officers, what do you want to eat and drink?" Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Xiao Er, what kind of wine is in the store?"

Yu Ke took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it on the table.

"The small shop has its own brewed spring breeze drunk, which is famous far and wide, and the taste is not comparable to ordinary wine."

Yu Ke said: "That's okay, let's have a pot to taste." Roast me two more fat chickens and a few vegetarian dishes. ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute."

Xiao Er accepted the broken silver on the table, turned around and walked to the back kitchen and instructed the cook.

In the middle of the morning, a pot of wine and a plate of pickles and peanuts came up.

"The back kitchen is cooking, and it's going to be ready right away."

Yu Ke nodded and asked, "Xiao Er, where is there a place to exchange silver tickets in this town?" ”

Xiao Er pointed in the direction: "Yes, there is a cabinet shop on the right side of the road when you walk to the end." ”

After a while, the dishes were all ready, and Yu Ke asked for some rice and feasted with the two guards.

At this time, three more people walked into the wine shop.

The three of them walked steadily, had a long breath, seemed to have martial arts, and carried long strips wrapped in white cloth on their backs.

The sturdy man in the lead seemed to inadvertently glance at Yu Ke's table, and a vigilant light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

'A good Tibetan man, I hope it won't spoil Lao Tzu's affairs. Otherwise, Lao Tzu's knife will not have long eyes. ’

The strong man in the lead thought secretly.

"A few guest officers, come, sit down, sit casually." The shopkeeper greeted.

"Little Er, come and have two pots of wine."

"Okay, the shop's home-brewed spring breeze is famous, and the guest officer is satisfied!"

"What do you want to eat?"

"No, just serve the wine."

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute."

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked into the back kitchen again, and after a while, he brought two pots of wine.

A slightly thin man beside the strong man in the lead immediately poured himself a bowl of wine.

After taking a sip, he choked and coughed directly, frowning:

"What kind of wine are you? It's so unpleasant. ”

The stout man in the lead suddenly asked, "Eh, Xiao Er, where is there a cabinet shop in the town?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Ke glanced at the big man, feeling as if he had seen this person somewhere.

Xiao Er replied: "Yes, yes, just go along the road and turn right." ”

The thin man who had said that the wine was unpleasant suddenly asked:

"Xiao Er, I heard that the whole family of a butcher surnamed Zhang in this town was killed?"

Xiao Er's face changed, and he said, "Where did the guest officer hear about it?" ”

The thin man said, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Xiao Er's eyes flashed with extreme fear, and his face turned three points whiter:

"yes. All seven members of Zhang's family were killed. ”

Xiao Er's voice was lowered a little:

"It is said that the flesh of a family of seven, both large and small, was shaved off and made into meat buns, which were distributed to people nearby for free."

Yu Ke on the side was stunned when he heard this, and the action of chopping rice also stopped, and listened attentively.

The thin man felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and said fiercely: "Really fake? You're not going to lie to me, are you? ”

Xiao Er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How dare I lie to you?" You ask someone in the county casually, which one doesn't know about this? ”

Xiao Er's voice lowered a little lower: "I heard that it was done by the people of the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sect!" Because the butcher owes money and hasn't paid it back. ”

"Seventy-two Earthshatter Sects?" The skinny man gasped.

The leading sturdy man waved his hand to Xiao'er and said, "Go down, it's nothing for you." ”

After Xiao Er left, the thin man asked, "Brother Chang, most of them were really made by people from the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sects. ”

"What should I do?"

Brother Chang asked rhetorically, "What should I do?" ”

The thin man said, "I heard that Tang Yu, the sect leader of the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sects, is a fist master who has refined the marrow. ”

"There are seventy-two people under him, and the most inferior is also a martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm, and the people of the Yamen dare not provoke it!"

"Yes, the Seventy-Two Earthshatter Sect is very powerful."

Brother Chang put down his wine glass and reprimanded, "But what does this have to do with us? Are you scared silly? ”

Another man who didn't say a word also said:

"We went to do our business, and we didn't provoke the seventy-two evils. What is there to be afraid of? ”

"How can you come out and mix up if you're so timid?"

Brother Chang patted the thin man's head and said in a low voice:

"Finish your glass and get ready for work."

The three of them finished drinking the wine, and were called Brother Chang to put down a silver bean on the table and walk out of the wine shop.

Before leaving, Brother Chang glanced at Yu Ke's table again, and happened to meet Yu Ke's slightly scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly his heart sank, and he unconsciously accelerated his pace.

"I'm afraid this person has a lot of background." Brother Chang had a faint uneasiness in his heart.

The three of them quickly came to the cabinet shop that the shopkeeper said.

Pushing the door in, I saw an old man behind the counter making an abacus.

"Old man, let's come and get the silver." Brother Chang stepped forward and smiled.

The old man's ears were not very good, and he was stunned for a long time, and said, "Do the three guest officers want to exchange silver?" ”

Brother Chang repeated: "Let's come and get the silver." ”

At the same time, the thin man silently came to the door and closed the door of the cabinet.

"Is there Chen Die?" The old man asked.

"Let's get the silver, do you understand?" Chang Ge Dao.

"Oh~"

The old man nodded, silently put his hand under the counter, and felt for an alarm bell.

At the same time, he delayed: "You don't have Chen Di? You can't get any money. ”

Brother Chang sneered, grabbed the old man's collar, and said coldly:

"Hand over the money, and I'll spare you your life."

At this moment, two sturdy men dressed in black strode out of the back hall.

Seeing this scene, the two men in black directly pulled out the saber on their waists and slashed at Brother Chang.

Brother Chang sneered and threw the old man aside.

Five fingers into claws, grabbed at will, accurately pinched the hand of the man in black holding the knife, and easily snatched the knife.

At the same time, he kicked the man in black on the chest, kicked him to vomit blood, flew upside down and smashed over a wooden shelf.

As soon as Brother Chang's footsteps were wrong, he easily dodged the head-on knife of another man in black.

I saw Brother Chang's wrist flipping again and again, and in three or two moves, the remaining black-clothed man opened the middle door.

Another knife knocked the knife in his hand out and stuck it in the beam, buzzing.

The rest of the men in black were a little overwhelmed.

"Two wastes who can kill chicken knives, they haven't even entered the forging bones, and they have the courage to attack me?"

Brother Chang laughed fiercely, as if his blood was on his head, and with a knife, he was about to wipe the neck of the remaining man in black.

At this moment, Brother Chang's wrist hurt, and he involuntarily let go of his hand, and the knife fell to the ground with a clatter.

I looked at the ground and saw that what hit my wrist was actually a chicken leg bone?

Looking back, I saw that at some point, the door of the cabinet that was closed by the younger brother Wang Tiegen was opened again, and many neighbors looked in curiously.

Standing next to the gate was a big man with a height of nearly two meters, and behind him were two men with indifferent expressions and slightly shorter heads.

And Wang Tiegen, the younger brother who was originally guarding the door, had been knocked to the ground, clutching his abdomen in pain. The other younger brother was also knocked to the ground.

"Is that you?"

Brother Chang recognized the person, it was Yu Ke, who had met in the wine shop before, and his heart suddenly tightened.

The thin man Wang Tiegen shouted: "Don't be arrogant, my eldest brother is a famous green forest hero mountaineering tiger Zhao Dachang!" You wait to die! ”

When Zhao Dachang heard this, he couldn't wait to kick this little brother to death.

With the trick of hitting him in the wrist with a chicken bone just now, it shows that the person who came is not easy to deal with.

Zhao Dachang just wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere without losing face.

But he heard Yu Ke say: "Zhao Dachang? It seems that he is not mistaken. ”

"Zhao Dachang, a native of Foshan, an outcast of the chivalrous boxer Shi Shunzu."

"Three months ago, you robbed a pawnshop in Guangzhou City, killed five people, including the shopkeeper, and robbed eight hundred taels of silver."

"Last month, in Guangning County, I kidnapped the grandson of the Chen family, a wealthy local family, and after receiving the ransom, not only did not release the person, but also tore up the ticket and threw the child's head at the door of Chen's house."

"You're doing the right thing, aren't you?"

Zhao Dachang listened to him talk about what he had done, and he did not feel any shame or chagrin, but showed a proud expression.

I saw Zhao Dachang with a proud look on his face, and said with a cruel smile: "It turned out to be an eagle claw grandson? ”

"That's right, that's what Lao Tzu did."

"That little doll is so noisy. kept crying and making trouble, so noisy that Lao Tzu's ears were about to crack, so he simply chopped off his head with a knife. Suddenly it was much quieter! ”

Yu Ke's expression was still indifferent, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"That's scum." Yu Ke sighed.

Zhao Dachang swept Yu Ke's eyes up and down: "It seems that if I don't insert you today, I won't be able to leave." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Dachang suddenly pulled off the long strip of white cloth wrapped in white cloth behind his back.

With a tear of his hand, the white cloth slid down, revealing a long knife nearly five feet long.

The shape of this knife is narrow and curved, the handle is nearly a foot long, and the jaw is only three fingers wide, and only the tip of the knife is nine inches open.

The cold light is shining, and the knife surface is as translucent as a mirror.

"Qi family knife? What a knife! Yu Ke's eyes lit up.

Zhao Dachang roared angrily, agitated his qi and blood, took a step forward, lunge and chop, and slashed at Yu Ke's neck from the bottom up.

The knife came out like a dragon, the cold wind howled, and the Qi family's knife seemed to split the air, and it slashed in front of Yu Ke in an instant.

Before the blade arrived, Yu Ke felt a slight tingling sensation in the skin of his neck.

I saw that Yu Ke was not in a hurry, his front foot moved to the right, his body suddenly became shorter, and he quickly moved two feet away.

Just dodged the slashing blade, and his tall body was surprisingly flexible.

A knife missed, and Zhao Dachang was about to make a second move, but saw Yu Ke stretch out a hand and clamp his knife between his two fingers.

Zhao Dachang struggled but did not move, and his heart was shocked.

What kind of strange power is this?

Yu Ke quickly grabbed the unopened part of the Qi family's knife, twisted and twitched it at will, and snatched the knife over.

Reaching out and flicking the blade gently, listening to its crisp and translucent hum like an eagle's cry.

Yu Ke sighed and said:

"It's really a good knife, it's even better than the knife that was snatched from Dai Kui of the Hong Family Fist back then!"

"Unfortunately, I prefer a big gun to a knife."

Yu Ke casually glanced at Zhao Dachang, who was stunned, and waved his head at the guards behind him.

The guards immediately understood and threw a bundle of hemp rope on the ground.

"Tie yourself up."

Zhao Dachang's face turned red with anger when he heard this, and his eyes were spewing fire.

Since he was successful in martial arts and debuted in the green forest, when has he been insulted like this?

"Die!"

Zhao Dachang roared angrily and slammed his fist into Yu Ke's throat, in a vain attempt to kill him with one blow.

saw that Yu Ke easily caught Zhao Dachang's fist, and broke his wrist with a slight twist at will.

He raised another leg and stepped on the knee of Zhao Dachang's left leg, stepping on his leg upside down.

Zhao Dachang fell to the ground and kept rolling, wailing in pain.

"Does it hurt?"

Yu Ke stretched out his foot and stepped on Zhao Dachang's knee and smacked it, ignoring the other party's pleas for mercy, and said softly:

"The child you killed last month should be more painful, and the hearts of his family are far more painful than you feel at this time."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps at the door, and a group of catchers with knives on their waists and red caps walked in.

The head catcher at the head was a middle-aged man with two mustaches, and when he saw Yu Ke, he frowned and said:

"Who is Your Excellency? How is it here? ”

He pointed to the three bandits and the two men in black on the ground and said, "You did this?" ”

Yu Ke glanced at him: "I am Yu Ke, deputy brigade commander and staff officer of the New Army. ”

The middle-aged man with the mustache was stunned, instantly remembered something, and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Yu, our county commander wants to visit you."

Yu Ke waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this." ”

Pointing to Zhao Dachang on the ground: "This person is Zhao Dachang, a green forest thief who committed two murders." Take these people back to the Yamen. ”

The mustache was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Lord Yu." ”
