Volume 3 Vertical and Horizontal Donglu Chapter 165 Don't blame the master
Yi Xiaodao was sure that the stupid big man in front of him was the bandit leader that the old man said, but looking at him, he was not a few years older than himself, at most twenty-five or sixteen, how did he deter these hundreds of extremely vicious bandits.
"Given, what? I don't have that much, I can't afford to have so many people like you. Han Shi was afraid that Yi Xiaodao would think about his white face, so he said first.
"One of your men has killed the old man."
Han Shi's eyes widened: "Who! β
Yi Xiaodao was about to speak, but he forgot his name for a while, and the sergeant next to him reminded Yi Xiaodao that Yi Xiaodao remembered: "Chen Youcai." β
"This brute!" Han Shi scolded hatefully.
Yi Xiaodao saw that Han Shi's demeanor did not seem to be fake, and said: "This person is in my camp, as long as you kill him first, I will believe that you are a good person, and I will discuss the matter of borrowing troops." β
"Give the knife to the man, and the man will bring it!" Han Shi said angrily.
Yi Xiaodao waved his hand, and the sergeant on the side went to lead people, and soon ran back empty-handed: "My lord, Chen Youcai ran away!" β
"Ran away? Where did you go? The crowd wondered.
"I don't know where I'm going, and I don't know when I ran away."
Yi Xiaodao stomped his feet angrily: "Is the military camp of 10,000 people so free to come and go?" I don't even know if I ran away! β
Yi Xiaodao completely forgot that a month ago, he also did it once in the barracks of the 30,000-strong army of the Chu Xiang Army, and not only retreated, but even took Li Rongyi from Nanhuai.
"That guy isn't a fuel-efficient lamp, hmph, when I bump into him, I'll have to kill him with a knife!" Han Shi said angrily.
Yi Xiaodao looked at him and guessed that this Han Shi and Chen Youcai also did not deal with each other.
"I'll look for it now, and when I find it, I'll bring back his head, and then you can borrow my soldiers, what's the matter?" Han Shi said that he was about to turn around and leave.
Yi Xiaodao's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait, how many people are there in your village?" β
"And three hundred, what?" Han Shi didn't hide it, and directly revealed the old bottom.
Yi Xiaodao said to the sergeant standing on the side; "Bring him down first, and then we'll talk about it when I'm full of food and drink."
"You're not trying to arrest me, are you? I'm here to surrender sincerely, you adults can't do this! Han Shi jumped to his feet and shouted, the soldiers on the side didn't care much, and immediately a few strong men came up and dragged Han Shi down.
Wei Youming turned around and lifted the curtain for Yi Xiaodao, and asked, "My lord, what are you going to do if you stay in the camp for both of them?" β
Wei Youming was uneasy in his heart, this is not to blame him, there were only 5,000 Yulin troops in the camp, but now there are tens of thousands of people, Yicheng, Jiacheng, Shenji faction, Zhenyang Mountain, as well as bandits and disaster victims, this is just a few days after entering Donglu, there are so many more people with complex factions in the camp, how can it go on like this.
Yi Xiaodao sat back in his position: "General Wei, I have an idea, we just came, this is called Han Shi, so he rushed to defect, you said that we will continue to recruit bandits and rogues in Donglu and take them for our own use, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" β
Wei Youming said worriedly: "If they make trouble together..."
Yi Xiaodao said: "That's why I want you to sit in the military camp, Brother Xue and I, Sister Immortal, go to Richeng to prevent Wanyan Sect from banning dragon qi." β
Wei Youming stopped talking, his brows furrowed, he didn't quite approve of this proposal. He thinks that he is just a martial artist, and the scheming is not something he can understand, Yi Xiaodao is not there, let him recruit all kinds of bandits for his own use, he really doesn't know how to use it.
Xue Mang nodded and said: "This method is good, the soldiers are divided into two ways, General Wei doesn't have to worry, I will do my best to protect Lord Yi." Xue Mang thought that Wei Youming was worried about Yi Xiaodao's safety.
"That's it, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." Yi Xiaodao glanced at Guanchenzi and saw that she had no objection, so he made a final decision.
At night, Wei Youming talked with Yi Xiaodao for a long time in the handsome tent, and only left when he was close to his son.
In the early morning of the next day, Yi Xiaodao, Xue Mang, and Guanchenzi took out three horses from the camp, and Wei Youming and the generals in the army sent them outside the camp gate.
"We'll see you in Jeseong after January." Yi Xiaodao and Wei Youming agreed on a date, and the three of them turned their horses and left.
Wei Youming and the generals turned around and returned to the camp: "Bring the black man from yesterday." β
Soon, the sergeant brought Han Shi in front of Wei Youming.
Han Shi was not angry: "Why detain me!" I am sincere in my obedience to the court! β
Wei Youming said angrily: "Didn't I give you food!" You ate six steamed buns at one meal last night, what's it called! β
Han Shi saw that the kind adult yesterday was gone, and only this fierce general was left, so he shook out his old bottom when he came up, and his voice immediately became quieter: "What's wrong with eating a few steamed buns..."
Wei Youming didn't have the heart to argue with him about steamed buns, and asked, "You said yesterday that you were going to save your brother, Qin Liangliang?" How did this man come up with such a name? What's wrong with him and you want to borrow troops to save him? β
Han Shi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, it's too late if you don't go!" My brother is in Qucheng, and he was arrested by the order of Qucheng County, don't talk about so much, first borrow me to order troops, I will defeat Qucheng and rescue him. β
"Bastard! You want to borrow the soldiers of the court to attack the court officials, you are so bold! Wei Youming shouted angrily.
Han Shi was scolded by Wei Youming, but said angrily: "What court official! Phew! will oppress the good, labor and management I will not only fight Qucheng, but I will also uproot the hole! β
Han Shi was extremely excited, and Wei Youming understood that there was something else in it, and asked, "What happened, tell me about it." β
Han Shi sat on the ground, and Wei Youming frowned slightly: "Sit on a chair." β
Han Shi had to get up, sat on the chair, thanked Wei Youming, and then said: "That's my maternal brother, called Qin Liangliang, just because when my uncle gave birth to him, it took two days to give birth, so my uncle directly named him Qin Liangliang." β
"I don't care about this right now, you say the point!" Wei Youming was already impatient, and he had been with the clever Yi Xiaodao for a long time, so he was angry when he saw Han Shi's naΓ―ve appearance at this time.
"It's all because my cousin fell in love with a girl in the village. The two were childhood sweethearts, but when it was time to talk about marriage, the people from Confucius suddenly came and wanted to pick up the girl, saying that the girl was the eldest lady of Kongmen. Take it and take it away, my cousin thought that he would be able to live a good life by taking the high branch of the hole gate, but as a result... Alas, but he wants to marry that girl to a Huquan gang in Jeseong! β
"So your cousin, that Qin killed someone in a fit of rage in two days?" Wei Youming's gossip psychology was hooked out, and he preemptively asked about the results.
Han Shi glanced at Wei Youming, who was in a hurry, and said, "How come?" My cousin was a bit stubborn, but he didn't dare to kill. He went to Kong's house to see the girl, but was kicked out. The main gate couldn't get through, so he climbed over the wall, was caught again, beaten up, and sent to the government. The county order of Naqucheng did not ask whether it was black or white, and directly put my cousin in prison on the charge of trespassing on a private house..."
Wei Youming smacked his mouth: "It's very ordinary." Okay, let your cousin's go beforehand, trespassing on a private house is not a big crime, and you can't die. Let me ask you, are there still bandits around here? Which ones are the most vicious, and which ones are forced to be helpless, do you know? β
"I know everything around here, I also know some about Qucheng, and I don't know if it's far away." Han Shi said.
"Okay, now lead the way, and bring all your three hundred people first." Wei Youming waved his hand and said undoubtedly; "Take us to clear the bandits around here first, and we believe that you are sincere in your refuge in the imperial court, and Lord Yi will help rescue your cousin."
Wei Youming drew a big pie and pushed the matter on Yi Xiaodao, even if Qin didn't release it for two days at that time, it was just a matter of Yi Xiaodao's words.
"Okay, let's go, let's go!" Han Shi couldn't wait to stand up and urge.
Wei Youming got up at this time, Han Shi followed behind, and the two of them walked out of the camp one after the other.
β¦β¦
Nanhuai, Hangcheng, Xiufanfang.
Liu Zhiyun, the current deputy owner of Xiufan Fang, walked into the practice room, seemingly stable, but after a closer look, she could also see that her left leg was slightly lame, and she was struggling to maintain a stable state at this time.
"Xiang Lian'er, are you practicing?"
"Master, why are you here, sit down." Xiang Lian'er knew that Liu Zhiyun had a disease in her left leg, so she stopped the sword move in her hand, hurriedly came over to support Liu Zhiyun, and pulled him to the side of the stool and sat down.
Liu Zhiyun looked at Xiang Lian'er and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, you are like this, I thought I was dying." β
Xiang Lian'er looked at the few silver threads born from Liu Zhiyun's sideburns, and she couldn't tell the taste in her heart. At the beginning, he followed Gao Cui and wanted to avenge Yi Xiaodao, who was accidentally injured by her, but he was caught and brought back to Lingyue Pavilion.
Looking back now, the past was only half a year ago, and when he first arrived at Lingyue Pavilion, Master was so graceful and shining. Now she looks like a rickety old woman, and she no longer has the style of the past.
"Master, is there something wrong here?" Xiang Lian'er found a topic and didn't care about the gray hair, lest the master be suspicious and sad.
"Lian'er, you are really a good seedling, but you have only been practicing for two months, and your sword moves have been perfected, Gao Cui has been practicing for more than half a year before you are like this." Liu Zhiyun looked at the disciple in front of him, who was his most proud, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Xiang Lian'er smiled lightly: "It's all taught well by the master." β
Liu Zhiyun waved his hand and said: "The little mouth is so sweet, I heard that the Loyal Prince, that you know, the second son of the King of Nanhuai, Li Dingxing, is now crowned the Loyal Prince, and is recruiting to collect the people of Nanhuai." I don't know what's going on? β
"Why did Master suddenly mention this?" Xianglian'er was puzzled.
Liu Zhiyun said with a smile: "I have sent someone to investigate, I heard that Master Yi has discussed with the King of Nanhuai, and told you about the family matter, that is, Li Dingxing, I don't know if there is such a thing?" β
Xiang Lian'er's face turned red with shame: "It's all the ghost of Yi Xiaodao!" At the beginning, he did not hesitate to ruin my reputation in order to enter the Nanhuai Palace, and I was angry when I mentioned this! β
"Yes, yes. What are you shy about when a woman gets married? Now Xiufanfang is the largest gang in Nanhuai, and you are the leader in the gang, which can be regarded as the right person with him. What's more, Master Yi has told King Nanhuai that this matter must be prepared in advance! Liu Zhiyun looked at Xiang Lian'er eagerly.
Xiang Lian'er asked curiously, "Master, why did you suddenly mention this today?" Are you hiding something from me? β
"Don't blame Master..."Liu Zhiyun's eyes were filled with tears.
