Ding Li and Li Shan and the others didn't pay attention to Zhang Scar's fate at all, anyway, the other party must die in the end, after the caravan people were regrouped, Li Shan quickly counted the personnel losses, the dart division of the Miao Dart Bureau died nine, and the guards sent by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce died thirteen people, compared to the caravan's coachman and the accompanying miscellaneous personnel, the situation was better, only eight unlucky ghosts died in the hands of the thief army.

Most of the rest of the people were also injured, but now was not the time to be able to completely relax, there was also a Qin Mo next to him, and Zhang Wu on the hillside was also about to move after finding out that the situation was not good.

Ding Li asked Heizi to open a line of defense with the crossbowmen, and the Zhang guards also followed with their own short bows, while Li Shan sent people to appease the coachmen and miscellaneous servants as necessary, and then looked at the remnants of the thief army on the hillside, and cursed angrily: "Let you rob!" Grab it! Now it's up to you to see if you can grab it! Don't look at whose darts it is, dare to do it casually! I'll tie you up and chop you all up later! ”

Listening to Li Shan's scolding beside him, Ding Li smiled slightly, but when he looked at the thief army on the hillside, Ding Li shook his head helplessly, and even sighed.

"Ali, what are you sighing for?" Li Shan looked at Ding Li suspiciously, as if he felt that Ding Li was regretting something.

"It's nothing, I just can't figure it out!" Ding Li shook his head, squinted at the thief army in the distance, and sighed again before turning his head to look at Li Shan: "Brother Li, why do you say that they are all people who have been soldiers, why do they have to do this kind of bandit and bandit?" ”

"I don't want to live a good life, I'm too lazy to eat! How else could it be! Li Shan responded as a matter of course, looking at the thief army's eyes full of contempt, and then opened his mouth to continue to analyze: "Ah Li, as far as our batch of goods today, if they really let them get their hands on it, just their hundreds of people, at least enough to eat for half a year!" You say, isn't it the best business in this world to do without roots? ”

"Hey! Also! Ding Li actually understood this truth, nodded and stopped pestering, turned his head to Qin Mo and the others who had just been bandaged and prepared not far away, thought about it for a while, and then turned his mount and walked over there.

Ding Li's actions made Qin Mo and the others can't help but raise their vigilance, staring at Ding Li with a wary face, and even a few of Qin Mo's subordinates behind him have already re-tightened their weapons.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what your plans are for the future?" At a distance of a few steps away from Qin Mo and the others, Ding Li stopped his mount and bowed his hand slightly towards everyone, smiled kindly, and then added: "How can I say it, you are all seven-foot men who stand up to the sky, and you are all bloody men who have served as soldiers and fought on the battlefield, why did you do this business?" ”

"It's just the situation!" Seeing that Ding Li did not have any malicious intent, Qin Mo responded lightly, hugged his fists and returned the salute, then glanced at the thief army on the hillside, and then sighed a little lonely: "We had to be soldiers to eat food in order to be fed, but this outfit is easy to wear, and it is not so simple to take it off!" The local government will not tolerate us! After all, now that the war has spread to Lingnan Dao, it is easy to be regarded as a spy if you take refuge in the government casually! ”

Ding Li nodded slightly, Qin Mo was right, the clothes of the rebel army were easy to wear, but as long as they were put on, it was not so easy to take off, probably at this time last year, the leader of the rebel army, Wang Xianzhi, the general of Tianbu Average, repeatedly begged to the imperial court to accept Zhao'an, but because of this, he also lost several henchmen under his command, such as Shang Junchang and Cai Wenqiu, and it was precisely because of this that his strength plummeted, and then he went downhill and lost consecutive battles, so that Zeng Yuanyu was besieged in Huangmei in February at the beginning of the year, and was finally completely encircled and suppressed.

Even a person like Wang Xianzhi who has military power can't safely take off the hat of the rebel army, and Qin Mo and these little people naturally don't dare to follow the former, after all, their fate is their own, and one more day can be counted.

Suddenly, a guy behind Qin Mo raised the war knife in his hand, pointed to the distance of the official road and shouted, "There are officers and soldiers!" Brother Qin! There are officers and soldiers! I saw the banner, it's the garrison of Fuxu Town! ”

"Not good!" Hearing this, Qin Mo was excited, hurriedly looked around, suddenly frowned, turned his head to look at the thief army on the hillside, hesitated unwillingly, and finally cursed viciously, and then turned his mount and prepared to escape.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Ding Li suddenly opened his mouth to stop everyone, but saw that Qin Mo and the others pulled out their knives and guns one after another while stopping, and stared at Ding Li with a vigilant face, ready to do everything they could at any time. After seeing it, Heizi, who had organized a new defense line not far away, immediately aimed at Qin Mo's group with many crossbowmen, and it seemed that as long as the other party had the slightest bad motive, he would immediately shoot these more than ten people off their horses.

"What? Did you want to capture our brother and go to the officers and soldiers to receive a reward? Qin Mo looked at Ding Li with some doubts, he couldn't feel anything wrong from Ding Li, but Qin Mo still raised his head with a provocative face, with an unyielding posture of preferring to die.

"Just a few of you, how big a reward can you get?" Ding Li pursed his lips disdainfully and smiled contemptuously, but then he changed his words and asked in a deep voice: "I just want to ask you, do you want to take off the skin on your body?" If you don't want to, you can leave immediately, and my brothers and I will not stop you! But if you want to take off that layer of skin and become a dignified man in the future, I can help you! ”

"What?!" At this moment, everyone, including Qin Mo, was stunned, and even Li Shan, who rushed behind Ding Li, looked incredulous, but soon Li Shan figured something out, and nodded slowly beside him silently.

"You're saying that the officers and soldiers can let us go?" In surprise, Qin Mo's thoughts flew around, he frowned and looked at Ding Li, and then continued to ask, "Why are you helping us?" How will the officers and soldiers listen to you? ”

"That's nature! They can only listen to me! Ding Li smiled quite confidently, stretched out his finger and pointed around, and then explained with a smile: "There are people from our caravan all around, even if the official army comes, I say that you are not a thief army, you are naturally not!" Could it be that the officers and soldiers still have to say that you are? ”

As he spoke, Ding Li shook his head at the thief army on the hillside, and continued to add: "The real thief army is up there, and our goods are also over there, everyone has stolen goods, could it be that the official army will be blind?" Moreover, even if you run now, can you still outrun the officers and soldiers with excellent horses? With only a dozen of you, can it be that you can still resist the garrison of Fuxu Town? ”

"But why are you helping us?" Qin Mo didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky, and it fell into his mouth, and continued to ask questions that Ding Li did not answer.

"I want to help more than that, not only to help you deal with the officers and soldiers behind, but also to make you no longer have to worry about the officers and soldiers in the future!" Ding Li looked directly at Qin Mo who was frowning very confidently, without blinking his eyes, and when the doubts on the faces of Qin Mo and the others became thicker, Ding Li spoke again: "I only have one condition, you follow me in the future, that is, to do things for me!" Of course, you will never be disadvantaged in terms of food and drink, including money, and you will never be indispensable! ”

"This..." If it were usual, Qin Mo would not think about it at all, Zhang Scar's original had also offered countless conditions to pull him in, but all the conditions proposed by Zhang Scar's head were not as good as the one in Ding Li's mouth, that is, they could clear their identities, and they would no longer be thieves in the future.

"Don't worry, you can discuss it with your brothers first! You can rest assured that the officers and soldiers will solve it! Ding Li didn't urge the other party, he arched his hand towards Qin Mo and the others with confidence, turned his head to Li Shan and smiled: "Brother Li, let's go, deal with the garrison of Fuxu Town!" ”

"Kuroko! Keep an eye on it, dare to come down one, and shoot me to death! If you dare to rob our goods, don't let any of them go! When leaving, Ding Li didn't forget to shout at the sunspot, of course, it is unknown whether this sentence was conveying another message to Qin Mo and the others.

The cavalry galloping on the official road was indeed the garrison of Fuxu Town, and the leader was Captain Fan Yingfan, who knew Ding Li. The number is small, it is only the headquarters soldiers and horses under Fan Ying, but it is a regular army of two hundred well-equipped people.

"Brother Li! Li Da Dart Head! How are you? When Ding Li was not far away, Fan Ying stopped everyone behind him, urged him forward with a look of surprise, and signaled to Ding Li and Li Shan respectively, and the two hurriedly smiled and returned the salute.

"Captain Fan! What a coincidence! I didn't expect it to be you! Ding Li was also surprised, of course, it was easier to solve the problem of Qin Mo and the others, and then without waiting for Fan Ying to ask, Ding Li turned around and pointed to the battlefield just now, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Fan, the caravan encountered a group of thieves just now, and now it has been almost solved, and there are still a lot of remnants, just on the hillside over there, and our goods are also there!" ”

"Finally found another army of thieves!" Hearing this, Fan Ying was very happy, and then looked at Ding Li and Li Shan, who were puzzled, Fan Ying explained with a wry smile: "Recently, they are all busy to death, there are too many rich businessmen here in our Fuxu Town, and there are more and more thieves who are wandering here!" No, the garrisons of Fuxu Town have to take turns to go out of the city to patrol the territory, and the above also spoke, be sure to find out the thieves and wipe them out, and you must ensure the peace of this area, otherwise the safety of the caravan is very problematic! ”

"That's right, we have met a lot of thieves, about 400 people! It seems that Captain Fan will be promoted soon! Ding Li joked with Fan Ying with a smile, then glanced at Li Shan beside him, and then continued to say to Fan Ying with a serious face: "Captain Fan, the thief army is almost dead, and there are probably dozens of people over there, so I bother the brothers under Captain Fan!" As for the credit for exterminating the thief army, I don't have much use anyway, and my share will be given to my brothers! ”

"This, this is not good!" Fan Ying hurriedly shook his head to refuse Ding Li's kindness, but then he was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened when he had just reacted, and his face was full of incredulity: "Brother Li, you just said that there are more than four or four hundred thieves in the army?" Now there are dozens of people left? ”

"That's right!" Seeing that Fan Ying was shocked, Ding Li smiled even more indifferently, and then pointed to Li Shan beside him, and began to ask for credit for the other party: "It's just a gang of thieves!" Thanks to Brother Li and the brothers of the dart game, they fought bravely! ”

"Let's go! Brother Li, Li Da Dart Head! Take me to see it! Fan Ying couldn't wait to rush forward, but he muttered in his heart in confusion, that's four hundred, even if it is a rabble of thieves, it is still enough to surprise Fan Ying.
