Before the hour had passed, the whole army set out.

The bandit who led the way was called "Wang Si", and he took the initiative to ask for help in prison, intending to atone for his merits. But he has a thief's eyebrows and a changeable gaze, and I am afraid that he will not be loyal.

Song Che, Xu Xiao, Zheng Sui, the leader walked in the forefront, the land route in the south of the Yangtze River was smooth, and before arriving at Qili Mountain, there was no need to be cautious in disguise, and the big foot army could be.

"Brother Song, I have to talk to you about it, when did I promise to reward all the soldiers with a fat pig afterwards?" Xu Xiao was haunted along the way.

Song Che smiled: "If you return triumphantly, what is a fat pig?" ”

"A pig is naturally nothing, but I can't be a reward," Xu Xiao said: "I only have three taels of silver a month, and now the pork is comparable to a sky-high price, and you can't afford to buy one if you sell me." ”

Song Che said with a smile: "In that bandit's den, there must be countless gold, silver and jewelry, if all of them are confiscated, what is the value of five hundred fat pigs?" Reward the soldiers, and they will do their work for you, which is to win people's hearts. ”

Xu Xiao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I thought you would secretly give me money and let me come forward to reward the soldiers for you." ”

Song Che smiled: "It's stupid to spend your own money to do other people's things; Spending other people's money to do your own business is called smart, which is the way of business. ”

Xu Xiao said: "If the bandits can really be exterminated, Aunt Song should take the first credit." ”

"Don't, don't," Song Che refused, "The reason why I participated in the suppression of bandits is to eliminate harm for the people, to protect my family's business, and to protect my family...... I'm actually a very selfish person. ”

"With Brother Song's ingenuity, if he enters the house, he will definitely be able to dominate the world."

"When did Xu Dutou become so good at sycophancy?"

"Let's be honest."

"But what I hate the most is deceit, and it just so happens that there are endless open and secret battles in the temple."

"Brother Song doesn't enter the official career, it's a loss for the people of the world!"

Is it?

Song Che is very clear about his position, people can't expose too much ability, especially in front of the powerful.

In this feudal era where you will be beheaded at every turn and destroy the three clans, you can't be wrong if you keep a low profile.

Unconsciously, more than ten miles have been walked, and there are still homeless people on the side of the road, or starving to death, or dying of exhaustion, countless, the dead only use a white cloth, or even a piece of banana leaves to wrap the body, the tragic situation makes people unbearable to look at directly.

"With so many dead and injured displaced people, didn't the Suzhou government take measures?" Song Che asked curiously.

Xu Xiao shook his head and said, "What else?" Introduced into the city, unlikely. Resettle the countryside, who has extra fields and houses? ”

"So where do they go from here?"

"Boil, boil until the trouble is gone, and they can go home, but the vast majority of them will die in this torment."

"Alas......"

There was only a sigh, and then there was no more.

……

From morning to evening, he rested three times and traveled more than 80 miles.

Along the way, I didn't see business travelers, most of them were homeless people who fled to Jiangnan with big bags and small bags, those who had relatives ran to relatives, and those who didn't have relatives tried their luck.

Most of the displaced people came from the coast, Hebei, Huainan, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou, it can be seen that the Japanese are rampant, although it is not a large-scale invasion, but the entire coastline has been bullied.

I have to say, Daliang Sailor, really waste!

"Xu Dutou, look, the sunset in front of you is Qili Mountain." Wang Si, who led the way, pointed to the distant road.

Song Che looked at it with a telescope, although it seemed that it was not far, but if you really want to walk, it must not be close, he asked: "How many steps do you need to go to the western slope?" ”

Wang Si said: "There are only ten miles to the foot of the mountain, and there are still twenty miles into the river, if it does not stop, it will take at least half a day." ”

"In the green forest ahead, are there bandits entrenched?" Song Che asked again.

Wang Si smiled: "Qili Mountain, no matter east, west, north and south, as long as there is a way, there are people who ask for money." ”

Song Che put away the binoculars and asked, "Judging from your experience, will our team be begged for money?" ”

Wang Si said: "We don't usually look at the displaced people who have fled, but if there are beautiful women among the displaced people, this ...... Hehe......"

If you can't grab the money, you rob the woman, not to mention the bandits, it's like a wolf.

Song Che squinted his eyes and asked again, "You also robbed women?" ”

"That can't, that can't ......" Wang Si hurriedly waved his hand, bowing his head embarrassed, "I...... I'm only eighteen this year, and I'm still a young child. ”

Song Che has high eyebrows, this eighteen years old? Looks like thirty-eight is all there!

"Then continue to be your child."

Song Che said to Zheng Sui on the side: "Captain Zheng, everyone has been gone for a day, it is better to rest in place, and then send a few clever people to the front to sentry, and then tell everyone to eat and drink enough. ”

"Okay."

……

Soon, night fell.

In order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, no one lit a fire, but fortunately, it was not cold in the south of the Yangtze River in May, and the soldiers slept on the ground after eating and drinking, and soon snoring was everywhere.

Although there were sentinels arranged, Song Che still didn't dare to take it lightly, he leaned against the big tree, looking up at the starry sky, at this moment, his mind was full of her figure.

If she woke up and couldn't find herself, she would be in a hurry, and when she saw the envelope left in the study, she would have sulked, and now that it was late at night, she would have been so worried that she couldn't sleep.

Song Che dared to guarantee that after she went back, her eye sockets would be black and swollen.

Perhaps it is this concern that will lead to the determination to go into the mountains to suppress bandits. It's wonderful to miss someone.

"Click-"

The sound of breaking branches suddenly sounded in his ears, and Song Che immediately followed the prestige, and under the cunning moonlight, a black figure was tiptoeing towards the roadside forest.

Song Che was just about to get up to chase after him, but a figure rushed out one step ahead of him, and when the figure came back, he was still carrying another person in his hand.

"Xu Dutou spares his life, Xu Dutou spares his life, the villain is just going to make it convenient......" Wang Si hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Xu Xiao said coldly: "Are you a girl?" Is it convenient to run into the woods? I'm telling you, I've been staring at your little movements. ”

It seems that Song Che is not the only one who does not dare to take it lightly.

"The villain doesn't dare anymore, he doesn't dare anymore......" Wang Si kowtowed vigorously.

Xu Xiaohe said: "If I hadn't expected you to lead the way, I would have slaughtered you with one sword!" ”

"Hey, Xu Dutou, don't be so fierce," Song Che casually dropped a mud pill from the ground, walked in front of Wang Si, and called softly: "Wang Si." ”

"Huh?" Wang Si raised his head and opened his mouth.

Song Che threw the mud pill into his mouth, and swallowed it directly down his throat into his stomach, Wang Si clasped his throat and coughed loudly.

"You don't have to deduct it, my 'one-day death pill' will melt in your mouth, if you don't get the antidote within one day, you will definitely have your intestines rotten, life is better than death, and finally you will die of abdominal pain," Song Che clapped his hands, walked back to the trunk and sat down, and said with a smile: "As for whether you can get the antidote, it all depends on how you behave tomorrow." ”
