Chapter 54: Suppressing Bandits (2)

Of course I want to live.

Wang Tong opened his eyes with difficulty, and it took a lot of effort to spit out a few words: "You, what do you want me to do?" ”

Zhou Sui's eyes were cold: "The imperial court has sent troops, and the Jiaodong army has already surrounded Qinglong Village." I don't want to run away. ”

"I know you're familiar with military books and can line up your troops. You've been a city guard for twenty years, and you're good at defense. ”

"I will hand over the gate of the village to you, and give you another thousand people, and you will guard the village for me."

Wang Tong was still in the mood to laugh: "Do you want me to replace Yang Wansheng and be the fifth master of Qinglongzhai?" ”

Why not?

It's all up to this, and he can't refuse. If it falls into the hands of the imperial court, it is also a death. It's better to go out and fight again. In case Bo has a way out, there will be a chance to turn over.

He served as an errand for the imperial court and received five hundred men. went into the bandits' den to be the five masters, but there were a thousand men. It's ridiculous and funny.

Wang Tong laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and he didn't care if the wound cracked open and the blood flowed.

Zhou Sui finally showed his first smile in the past ten days: "Come on, immediately carry the five masters out and invite the best doctor in the village to come." ”

Cao Gui knew about this, and it was already half a day later.

"Boss, is this possible?" Cao Gui's brows were twisted into knots: "He is an official of the imperial court, and we are bandits." Can you eat it in a pot? ”

Liu An and Dai Youyu also looked suspicious.

Zhou Sui has never had the habit of explaining things. However, the appointment of Wang Tong is indeed a dangerous step, and they have to give them an explanation: "We are good at killing and robbing, and we are barely able to defend the village." Fighting head-on with officers and soldiers, no one has the ability. ”

"Wang Tong is different. He is a serious general, who can lead soldiers and fight. ”

"At this time, let him resist for a while. can hold the stockade, and let him really join the gang in the future. If he has two hearts, he will be killed with a knife. ”

That's just as well.

What gave him a thousand hands. Relying on Wang Tong, he can't command at all. It's not about the big bosses!

Cao Gui and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

After dark, there was a chaotic noise in the stockade, during which the cries or screams of women could be heard from time to time. It doesn't stop until about the hour.

Zhou Sui didn't sleep.

He got out of the bed and quietly went to the hut, groping his way through the stinking walls, and soon revealed a swarthy passageway.

The passage was only five feet high and three feet wide. After Zhou Sui entered, he could only bend down and bow his head forward.

There are no lights in the passage, and there are few vents, and after walking for a long time, I feel short of breath and tightness in my chest.

Zhou Sui held his breath and kept walking forward. I don't know how long I dug this narrow passage, and it took half an hour to get to the exit.

At the exit is a stone.

Zhou Sui groped hard, and finally moved the stone and drilled out.

Whoa!

The spring water flowing from the crack in the mountain splashed Zhou Sui's face.

The exit to this secret passage is very hidden, behind a spring.

Zhou Sui licked the spring water on his face and showed a smug smile.

Of course, the stockade must be defended. When he really can't hold it, he can still rely on this secret passage to escape.

He was born in a den of bandits from an early age. Burning, killing and looting is what he is accustomed to. Whatever you like, just grab it. He never felt anything was wrong.

Now that the officers and soldiers are here, he is not afraid. If you can't fight, you can't run, and it is impossible for the officers and soldiers of the court to stay in the mountains all the time. When the army left, he Zhou Sui was still a good man. Soon he will be able to pull out another group of people and continue to live a carefree life of killing, drinking, eating meat and robbing women.

……

Seven days later.

"General Qi, the Praetorian Guard has entered the mountain, and it will arrive in less than half a day."

A pro-soldier marched into the tent to report it.

Li Ji snorted: "General Chuanben ordered that all the generals above the seventh rank in the army come over and greet Captain Murong with me." ”

The pro-soldiers were ordered to retreat.

A young military general standing beside Li Ji was a little unhappy and snorted: "The eldest brother is a general of the fourth grade, and he has 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands. That Murong Shen is just a former captain, relying on General Murong to show off his might. ”

The person who spoke was Li Ji's cousin Li Xiao. Li Xiao entered the barracks at the age of fourteen, and with his brother entering the Jiaodong Army, Li Xiao, who is already twenty years old this year, has six official positions, which can be regarded as a young man.

Li Ji glanced at his young and vigorous cousin: "If you have such a powerful father, you will definitely be more majestic than Murong Shen!" ”

Li Xiao: "......"

Li Xiao was suddenly deflated: "Big brother, you are trying to destroy your prestige." ”

Li Ji tugged at the corners of his mouth: "A four-grade general, he is barely the number one person in the army, and he is not a fart in the court." A seven-rank imperial history can scold me so much that I can't raise my head. ”

"What kind of majesty is this?"

"Look at the Murong family, who has guarded the palace for generations, and is the confidant of the Son of Heaven. When those Shangshu waiters saw Murong's father and son, they all had to be polite and polite. ”

"You and I are facing Murong Shen, and it is only right to endure three points. You listen to me, when Murong Shen comes, be honest and don't make trouble for me. ”

After a few passes, Li Ji found out that Li Xiao was wandering outside the world.

Li Ji patted Li Xiao on the back of the head: "Did you hear it?" ”

Li Xiao grinned in pain, nodded indiscriminately, and then said in a low voice: "Big brother, the ancestor of the Murong clan is a soldier of the Son of Heaven, and he is not as good as us in terms of background. Perhaps, in the future, our brothers will have a fate, and they will be even more powerful and majestic than the Murong family. ”

Li Ji was so angry that he slapped Li Xiao on the back of the head again: "It's beautiful, it's so powerful, why don't you go to heaven." ”

……

Half a day later, Murong Shen led five thousand Praetorian Guards into the barracks.

Li Ji led a group of generals in the army to greet him.

The cold young man wearing silver soft armor swept his gaze and fell on Li Ji's face: "General Li's officer rank is higher than that of the last general, how dare the last general dare to be the last general." ”

Li Ji was a black-faced martial artist, and his smile was extraordinarily gentle and humble: "Captain Murong is polite." When I was in the capital, I worked as an errand boy under General Murong. The general has been kind to me, and I have always remembered it. ”

"The official document of the imperial court to suppress bandits, I led the Jiaodong Army to come first, and now Captain Murong is leading the troops, so naturally Captain Murong will come first."

"I haven't read any books, I can only lead the charge, the old and the coarse. Captain Murong is not polite, just give the order. I listen to you. ”

Li Ji was so knowledgeable and gave in neatly, which was beyond Murong Shen's expectations.

Murong Shen, who had been in a gloomy mood for several days, stretched slightly, and smiled at Li Ji: "General Li is so happy, then the general will not shirk." ”

Li Ji laughed: "A banquet has been set up in the military tent, and today I will wash the dust for Captain Murong." ”

Murong Shen nodded slightly, and entered the military tent side by side with Li Ji.

Li Xiao, who was following behind, couldn't help but roll his eyes quietly.

This Murong Shen is so majestic that he wants to go to heaven.
