Chapter 25: The Seventy-Two Earthly Cults (2-in-1)
After capturing a few bandits, Yu Ke and the two guards returned to the camp where the new army was stationed outside the city.
As soon as I arrived outside the camp, I saw a fat man in an official uniform with a round body waiting there.
"Lord Yu."
Seeing Yu Ke, Xiong Rongbo squinted his eyes and examined them, and then his eyes lit up, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and bent down to salute.
Yu Ke nodded: "You are Lord Xiong, the county commander of Lianhua County, right?" I don't know what to do with me? ”
Xiong Rongbo waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, a small eight-grade county order, how can you be worthy of the title of Lord Yu's 'adult'." ”
Saying that, Xiong Rongbo quietly beckoned to the entourage on the side, and the man immediately brought a sandalwood box.
Yu Ke frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xiong Rongbo bowed and said:
"Lord Yu worked tirelessly and tirelessly to visit Lianhua County, which is governed by the lower officials, to inspect the people's conditions. This is a little caution on the part of the lower officials, and I hope that the adults will accept it. ”
said. The attendant opened the sandalwood box, and the small yellow croaker with the thickness of a finger came into his eyes, and it was stacked into two layers, at least twenty or thirty.
Yu Ke raised his eyebrows, thinking that this county order is quite rich, and he is probably greedy a lot.
Yu Ke did not hesitate to let people accept it, and then said with a smile: "Xiong County Ling is really a good official for the country and the people, I will definitely say a few good words for you when I see Governor Zhang in the future." ”
Xiong Rongbo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Xiaguan thanked Lord Yu!" ”
After Yu Ke finished speaking, he turned his head and was about to walk into the camp, but he heard Xiong Rongbo say again: "Lord Yu, wait a minute." ”
"What else?"
Xiong Rongbo said: "Lord Yu has something that needs to be done by the officials, just give orders." ”
Yu Ke suddenly said: "There are really some things that Xiong County Ling needs to help with." ”
Yu Ke thought for a while, and then said:
"I heard that some time ago in the county, there was a butcher surnamed Zhang's whole family killed, what did the seventy-two earth evil sect do, can the Xiong County Order know about this? Who are the seventy-two earthshasers? ”
Xiong Rongbo's face changed suddenly when he heard the words 'Seventy-two Earth Evils', and he looked secretive.
He walked up to Yu Ke and whispered: "These seventy-two evil sects are the most famous and lawless gangsters in the entire Guangxi. ”
"It is said that they are the remnants of Western Xia. During the massacre of Ganzhou more than 200 years ago, Jin Shengheng, the governor of Jiangxi, and Ke Yongsheng, the chief soldier, were ordered by the imperial court to wipe out more than 100,000 people in Western Xia, and only they were left. Therefore, he hated the Manchu Han deeply. ”
"The current sect leader of the Seventy-Two Earth Demon Sect is named Tang Yu, and he is a ruthless and somewhat crazy martial arts master."
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he has reached the level of what the martial arts practitioner calls the 'realm of turning into gang', and it is easy to defeat one enemy!"
"And the seventy-two earth demons under Tang Yu, the top ten are also martial artists who refine dirty!"
"They are seventy-two evil sects, and what they usually do is to buy and sell money, and once the other party can't pay it back, they will kill the whole family, and the chickens and dogs will not be left."
"In the years since the establishment of the Seventy-two Disha Sect by their Western Xia remnants, there have been at least hundreds of bloody crimes committed in the entire Guangxi."
Yu Ke patiently listened to Xiong Rongbo's narration, and frowned when he heard this: "Does the government care?" ”
"Where did you not care?" Xiong Rongbo smiled bitterly.
"More than 20 years ago, these seventy-two earthly evil sects seemed to have an affair with the anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the governor of Guangxi, Huyan Zongqing, sent two thousand armed troops to encircle and suppress the seventy-two earthly evil sects."
"I thought that two thousand men and horses were going to destroy the seventy-two Earth Demon Sect with only more than three hundred people, but who knew that they were killed and defeated by the other party!"
"That night, Huyan Zongqing was taken off his head and hung at the door of the Admiral's Mansion."
"After that battle, the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sect also suffered a lot of losses, so they hid outside the pass. After dormant for more than ten years, he returned to Guangxi and started to buy and sell Fangyinzi money. ”
Speaking of this, Xiong Rongbo sighed:
"Fortunately, the seventy-two earths have not been too arrogant in the past few years since they came back. As long as you don't provoke them for a long time, they won't kill people casually. The government has turned a blind eye over the years. ”
Yu Ke's eyes showed a look of contemplation, and he asked, "Where is the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sect?" ”
Xiong Rongbo was shocked when he heard this: "Lord Yu, you don't want to find trouble with the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sect, do you?" ”
Yu Ke did not answer positively, but said: "Lord Yu misunderstood, I didn't come to Guangxi to take care of this matter. ”
Xiong Rongbo pointed to the west and said:
"Forty miles to the west, there is an urn mountain, and there is the territory of the seventy-two earthly evil sects."
Yu Ke nodded.
Xiong Rongbo said again: "Lord Yu, if there is nothing to do with the lower officials, the lower officials will leave." ”
After Xiong Rongbo left, Yu Ke's eyes were shining:
"Seventy-two Earthshatter Sects? Tang Yu? The Grand Master of the Realm of Transformation? Interesting. ”
"However, for the time being, I don't have time to deal with these seventy-two earthly cults."
"We'll talk about it in a month."
After thinking for a while, Yu Ke turned around and walked into the camp and began to deal with military affairs, directing his subordinates to set up tents and make fires for cooking.
Yu Ke will stay here for at least four or five months in the future.
First of all, we must establish a well-established and sustainable living camp, as well as relevant systems and regulations.
and solve the problem of water, food, and other daily necessities.
Then he began to organize the remaining 1,500 Cantonese armed forces into several categories of workers.
Part of it is responsible for planting rubber trees and collecting rubber tree sap.
Part of it is responsible for the construction of factory buildings and staff dormitories.
There is also a small group that is responsible for some logistics such as lighting a fire for cooking, procuring food, etc.
Meanwhile.
Forty miles to the west, the Urn Mountain.
Wengshan is just a hundred-zhang high hill, which is inconspicuous among the hundreds of mountains in Guangxi.
But since the seventy-two people from the Seventy-two Earth Demon Sects came here, the families within a radius of more than ten miles in the vicinity have moved away one after another, and no one dares to live nearby.
Many large and small bamboo buildings have been built on the Weng Mountain, which are arranged one after another.
Among these countless bamboo buildings, the tallest one is in front of the bamboo building.
A tiger-headed child, about eight or nine years old, was guarding the doorway, holding a short two-foot-long knife in his hand, chopping a small tree.
It wasn't until all the leaves on the tree were chopped off that I stopped looking around.
When he couldn't see the person he wanted to see, he sat on the ground with his head on his back full of trouble.
After another half an hour, a big man in black clothes rode a black horse to the front of the bamboo building.
The black horse had several bloody heads around its neck, and blood was dripping non-stop.
When the child saw the comer, he hurriedly greeted him, not afraid of the bloody heads, as if they were just a few pig heads, and he was used to seeing them.
The child pouted and shouted:
"Dad, you lie! You said that as long as the leaves fell, Daddy would come back. I cut down all the leaves, why hasn't my father come back yet? ”
This black-clothed man is none other than Tang Yu, the current sect leader of the Seventy-Two Earth Demon Sect.
I saw Tang Yu smiling, and a slightly charitable smile appeared on his fierce face.
Tang Yu picked up his son and patted his son's face:
"Xiaolong, isn't Daddy back?"
Seeing that his son was still pouting and looking unhappy, Tang Yu's face was cold for a moment.
Fu smiled again: "It's all because of that tree, let my son down." ”
As he spoke, Tang Yu walked to the tree with his son Xiaolong in his arms, and without the slightest luck, he slapped the trunk of the adult's calf at will.
Tang Yu said lightly to a sect member guarding in front of the bamboo tower: "Go get fire oil and burn this tree." ”
The congregation immediately trotted to fetch the oil, and soon came back, poured it on the tree, and lit a fire.
It's in the nature of children to like to play with fire.
Seeing this scene, Xiaolong quickly forgot the unpleasantness just now, showed a smile again, broke free from his father's arms and came to the fire to look at it without blinking.
"Dad, you can take me with you when you go out in the future, the tree at the door is gone, how can you come back?"
"Okay, dad will take you when he goes out in the future, hahahaha, hahahaha!!"
Tang Yu squinted his eyes and laughed sickly and maniacally.
The smile on the hideous and terrifying face was extremely ugly.
Xiaolong laughed when he saw his father laughing.
But seeing that Tang Yu's face sank suddenly, his eyes were like poisonous snakes that chose people to devour, looked at his own son, and said quietly:
"Did I make you laugh?"
A trace of fear flashed in Xiaolong's eyes, and he quickly stopped laughing.
Tang Yu stared at his son's eyes, and his tone was flat.
But the words that came out were chilling:
"Your brother, he betrayed me, he wants to break away from the Seventy-two Earth Cult."
"I thought that if I returned the hand that killed with the sword, I would be able to get rid of the Seventy-two Earth Evil Sects. He went to Lianhua County to change his name and surname, and became a son-in-law for a Han butcher. Thought I couldn't find him. ”
"But he forgot, his blood is mine, and his flesh is mine! Cutting off an arm, you want to sever your relationship with me and the Seventy-Two Earthshatter Sect? How is it enough? ”
"So, I chopped the butcher and your brother into minced meat, and the butcher's family made meat buns and distributed them to the people nearby."
"Bring back your brother's flesh and eat it all, and I want him to pay back everything he owes me!!"
Speaking of this, Tang Yu's eyes were red, and he roared loudly, and the sound shook the entire Wengshan, and countless birds were startled.
Xiaolong couldn't help but take a few steps back and covered his ears.
After a while, Tang Yu picked up his son, hugged him tightly, and asked in a low voice:
"Xiaolong, I have you as a son left, will you betray your father like your brother?"
Xiaolong shook his head violently: "No, Xiaolong won't." ”
"Good! Hahaha. ”
Tang Yu walked into the bamboo building with his son in his arms and said, "Dad asked people to make a dish, you will definitely like it." ”
"What's the dish?"
"You eat it later, and Daddy will tell you."
"Dad, I'm going to play with Xiaohong." Xiaolong raised his head and said.
Little Red is a maroon foal he has been raising for two years, and is his only playmate from birth to the present.
Tang Yu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, eat the meal first." ”
Half an hour later, several congregants brought more than a dozen dishes, all of which were meat, and there were hardly any vegetarian dishes.
After eating a few bites, Xiaolong asked, "Dad, what kind of meat is this?" ”
"Is it delicious?"
Xiaolong nodded: "Well, it's delicious." ”
Tang Yu said: "This is Xiaohong's meat." ”
At the same time, an electric light flashed in the originally gloomy sky, followed by a deafening thunder.
Xiaolong was stunned when he heard this, opened his mouth wide, and the meat fell from his mouth and landed on the dining table.
His eyes slowly turned red, and he was about to shed tears.
"Dad, why did you kill Xiaohong? Did it make a mistake too? ”
Tang Yu smiled kindly: "Son, don't be afraid. ”
"If you can eat even your favorite horse, there is nothing to fear in this world."
"Eat, eat more." Tang Yu sandwiched a piece of meat for his son.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes rushed in.
She held a steel knife in her hand and slashed at Tang Yu's neck.
At the same time, he shouted frantically: "Tang Yu, you killed, killed my son, I want you to pay for your life!" ”
Tang Yu didn't dodge or dodge, he didn't even turn his head to look, he just had his luck.
In the next second, the sharp steel knife slashed Tang Yu's neck, but it seemed to have turned into a blunt weapon, and it didn't even cut a layer of skin.
A layer of waves stacked on Tang Yu's neck, and he easily drained his strength without shaking his head.
"Aunt Nine......"
Xiaolong looked at the middle-aged woman who rushed in and was taken aback, and muttered.
The middle-aged woman obviously had martial arts, and she didn't hurt Tang Yu in the slightest, but she was not surprised at all, and then another knife slashed at Tang Yu's ear unexpectedly.
You're so good at it, it's impossible for you to be invulnerable to even soft ears, right?
Tang Yu only then turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman, reached out and grabbed it quickly, and easily grasped the blade.
"Tang Yu, you took everything from me, I want you to die!!"
Seeing that she couldn't draw the knife, the middle-aged woman resolutely abandoned it, and pounced directly at Tang Yu, slashing at his eyes with her fingers.
was kicked in the stomach by Tang Yu, and flew seven or eight meters upside down and landed outside the bamboo building.
At this time, it rained outside the bamboo building, from small to large, and it didn't take long for it to pour.
The middle-aged woman knelt on the ground, propped her hands on the ground, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Her breath was getting weaker and weaker, and it was hard to even stand up.
The kick just now directly kicked her liver.
Tang Yu walked out of the house unhurriedly and grabbed the middle-aged woman's hair.
"Lao Jiu, even you want to betray me?"
Tang Yu's tone was low.
"Ah?!!h He roared in such a loud voice that it seemed to drown out the thunder.
"Your son betrayed me? Now even you want to betray me? ”
"Why?"
"Why ?!!"
The middle-aged woman tried to open her mouth and said miserably word by word:
"You madman! Killer! Even kill your own flesh and blood! One day, you will fall into Infernal Hell!! ”
After saying this, the middle-aged woman finally swallowed her breath.
"Hahaha, hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! ”
Tang Yu threw away the body of the middle-aged woman casually, stood trembling in the rain, and raised his head to laugh wildly in the heavy rain.
"Infernal Hell?!"
"Isn't the world an infernal hell?"
A thunderstorm comes and goes fast.
Tang Yu stood in the mud, his mixed eyes full of madness, anger, bloodthirstiness, sadness, and desolation.
His voice became a little shrill and he said to one of his men:
"Order all the people and horses, and I will go to slaughter Lotus County tonight, give my son, give Lao Jiu, and accompany the funeral!"
