In the dense forest, several men in big coats were leisurely waving their whips, and they were whipping the horses under their crotches for a while.

"Brother Talented is really, why do you always let us do this kind of thing. With such a big forest, we can't find even if there are people. ”

"Don't complain, this time it's a big fat sheep, if you find it, I'm afraid it won't be good?"

"What benefits? If you have food and drink, you will go out and give it away? Where did the courage to cut the county order go in the first place? ”

"You don't say a word, be careful to be heard again!"

Several big men were the Xiangma bandits led by Chen Youcai, who were sent to this dense forest to look for Yi Xiaodao, and a few people looked at me without paying attention to the matter of finding people, let alone noticing the movement behind them.

More than a dozen soldiers in armor crept out from both sides of the dense forest, looking at the few big men who were gradually moving away, a school officer waved lightly, and everyone tiptoed to follow.

After a while, a flock of birds that had been sleeping in their nests were startled in the dense forest, and they flew wildly in the air, and it took a long time before they gradually flew back to their nests, and the forest returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

In the barracks, a big black man staggered and was pushed outside Yi Xiaodao's tent, his coat had been stripped clean, only a rope was tied to his body, he was shivering from the cold, there were several wounds on his body, and the blood had already coagulated.

"Get on your knees!"

A soldier brandished a gun and struck the big man in the back knee, and the big man was beaten to his knees, gasping for breath with difficulty.

Yi Xiaodao heard the movement and came out of the tent, followed by Wei Youming.

"What's going on?" Wei Youming asked.

"A few men with weapons in their hands, sneaking around in the dense forest on horseback, were spotted by the patrolmen. During the interrogation, they rioted, and the rest of the people were killed on the spot. The soldier replied.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the big man, the big black man had been tied like a dumpling at this time, but he was still struggling, the soldier slammed the gun on the back of his head, and the big man was knocked to the ground, a little more honest.

Yi Xiaodao looked at it and asked, "Who are you?" What are the armed horses doing here? ”

"We are passing merchants, bringing some weapons to defend ourselves, who knows that your people will fight when they see it, and they have killed several of my brothers..."The black man replied.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the calluses in the palm of the black man's palm and said with a smile: "Is it a passing merchant?" Hahaha, I'm afraid it's a merchant who is looking for a way, right? Hunt for the good, burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil! ”

Dahan was told by Yi Xiaodao, and he didn't deny it, and said bluntly: "If you want to kill, you have to chop, listen to it!" ”

"We won't kill you or kill you, as long as you tell you the location of your lair, how many people, we will let you go, how about it?"

"You want me to betray our big brother? You... Okay, let me tell you, can you really let me go? The black man was about to "sternly refuse", but suddenly the conversation changed and directly talked about the conditions.

Yi Xiaodao didn't say a word and nodded.

"Twenty miles east from here, you can see a Zhuangzi when you cross the river, and that's it, and the brothers are all there. I've said it, you should let me go now. The big black man said.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the black man's point, which was completely opposite to what the old man said!

"What the hell... I look so good to cheat isn't it! Your nest is obviously in the west, and you still dare to lie to me? Yi Xiaodao said and pulled out the long sword at his waist, pretending to come up and move roughly.

The big black man knelt on the ground and retreated again and again: "It's true, it's true!" Unbelief... I'll take you there! ”

Yi Xiaodao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if you take us there?" ”

"It can't be without! If I don't give you my head! The big black man said bluntly.

Yi Xiaodao held the sword in his hand, and thought in his heart, "That old man doesn't look like a liar, but this big black man is so sure, is it... Not the same group? Or... Borrowing a knife to kill? ”

The black man does have the intention of borrowing a knife to kill people, there is a group of bandits on the east and west sides of the city, and the bandits in the east have just come recently, and they have fought with that group of bandits a few times, but the other party is overwhelmed, and they all have martial arts, they have been defeated in several battles, and they have broken a lot of people.

Yi Xiaodao waved his hand and said, "Take it down and lock it up first." ”

"Words are not true! Your words don't count you! The big black man screamed and was dragged down.

Wei Youming approached: "My lord, since you know the location, why not go?" It's not too late, it's just a bunch of bandits, and we'll be able to finish them off in less than an hour. ”

Yi Xiaodao asked Wei Youming rhetorically: "What do you say we are doing?" ”

Wei Youming was slightly stunned, and replied: "The imperial court's will to the last general is to obey the dispatch of Lord Yi, and the rest is unknown... But the last general thinks... Donglu should be recovered, then this extermination of bandits is easy to do..."

Yi Xiaodao inserted the long sword back into his waist and said with a smile: "I'm not that noble, I just want to find that Wan Yanzong, kill a few of them, and give my daughter-in-law anger!" ”

Wei Youming was quite speechless.

Yi Xiaodao smiled and said, "Oh, you are too boring, yes, although Your Majesty did not say it explicitly, the meaning is very clear, that is, let us recover Donglu." But we can't talk about such petty bandits, let alone be used as guns. ”

Wei Youming is a strong general in the Yulin Army, but this does not mean that he has no brains, on the contrary, he is a smart one, and he is a little clear: "My lord means, this black goods pointed us to another group of bandits?" ”

Yi Xiaodao shrugged his shoulders: "Then only God knows." Now Donglu is in a mess everywhere, and even when we just entered Donglu, don't we dare to act rashly? If you fight this today, you will fight that tomorrow, and when you hit Jeseong, there will be almost no people left. ”

"Since the adults are not going to beat them, why are you keeping this kid? Just cut it with a knife, and it doesn't hurt people on weekdays! Wei Youming said.

Yi Xiaodao thought of the trembling old man, shook his head lightly and said, "Let's keep it for now, we came to Donglu to save people, not to kill people." ”

Wei Youming nodded silently.

Chen Youcai waited at the head of the village where everyone had agreed, and the people came back one by one, except for the few people missing Heizhu.

"Brother Cai, they haven't come back yet, do you want me to take someone to find it?" Ergou asked on the side.

Chen Youcai played with the sharp knife in his hand, shook his head and said: "We can't be scattered anymore, no matter what happens to them, we have to go together, there are more people, whether it is fighting or running, we are not afraid." I'm worried now that they've met those guys and if they give us another confession..."

Ergou smiled: "Heizhu they complain a lot, but they are sincere to their brothers, and they won't treat us..."

"That old man is also honest, let's give him white noodles to eat, should we deceive or continue to deceive, brother Ergou, don't trust others too much." Chen Youcai patted Chen Ergou on the shoulder and turned over on the horse: "Where did they go?" ”

Ergou replied in a daze: "Lin... Over in the woods..."

"Let's go! Keep up! Chen Youcai took the lead, and Ergou didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly climbed on his horse, shouting at everyone to follow and go to the forest.

Yi Xiaodao's military camp was carefully selected by him, and it was set up in the south of the dense forest, which was covered by a dense forest, and it was indeed not easy for the people of the village on the other side to find them, let alone that there was an army of nearly 10,000 people on this side of the forest. This is also thanks to the rampant bandits in the vicinity, so that the good people either flee or leave, and there are not many people, otherwise an army of nearly 10,000 people would not be able to hide no matter what.

As the sun was setting, Yi Xiaodao was thinking about what to do next, and a soldier came in to report: "Report to my lord, there is a group of people and horses, about more than 100 people, who have entered the forest and come to my camp. ”

"More than 100 people? Let's go, let's see. Yi Xiaodao didn't dare to slack off.

This is not the first time Yi Xiaodao has "led troops", he had led the soldiers of the two cities together with a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses in Yicheng to rescue Xianglian'er in Hangzhou. It's just that at that time, Yi Xiaodao was concerned about Xiang Lian'er at that time, and he had no idea about the start and end of the army, but now it is different. The safety of nearly 10,000 people is at stake, and Yi Xiaodao must be cautious.

In the dense forest, Chen Youcai led more than 100 people out of the forest, safe and sound.

As soon as they came out of the dense forest, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. Yi Xiaodao dragged out 3,000 men and horses from the barracks, and set up a formation in front of the barracks, taking the lead himself, everyone holding torches, brightly lit, and very powerful.

When Chen Youcai and the others saw this scene, their minds were clouded at that time, when did such an army appear here? There are so many people... Not to mention the 100 people yourself, even if you call the remaining 100 people in the village, it's not enough for people to fight in one round...

The timid had quietly turned around, and was about to secretly retreat into the forest, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the shadows of the forest, and I don't know how many people and horses surrounded him.

"General Wei, I'm sorry for you." Yi Xiaodao turned his head and said to Wei Youming behind him.

Wei Youming came out with a gun: "The last general is willing to serve." ”

Chen Youcai saw that there was only one person on the other side, like a general, and the others were all standing in place, the sharp knife in their hands was held loosely, loosened and held, repeated several times...

"We are the officials and soldiers of the Daqi Imperial Court, and we have been ordered to come to Dongluping to quell the rebellion, who are you who dare to watch my camp? should have been killed on the spot, thinking that you and others are all the people of the Great Enlightenment, now I only let you know the majesty of the imperial court, don't have two hearts! After Wei Youming finished shouting, he glanced at the opposite side by the firelight, and finally his gaze stayed on Chen Youcai's body.

Chen Youcai was targeted by Wei Youming, and he had a palpitation inexplicably. The next moment, Wei Youming raised his spear and threw it at Chen Youcai, a scream sounded, and Chen Youcai didn't understand yet. The sharp knife in his hand has been knocked off by the spear. Even he was caught in the coat by the spear, dragged off his horse, and slid out of the ground for a long distance.

"I'll wait for Surrender, Surrender, don't kill us!" The rest of the bandits didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the talented brother was shot out by a shot, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, so they hurriedly dismounted one by one and rushed to surrender.

Everyone understands the truth that the thief captures the king first. The leader is dead, and it's useless for the rest to fight...

"Help... Help me up, and I will surrender..."
