Voy continued: "After we thought that the shopkeeper of the Gaozu Inn had fled for fear of our pursuit, we found that the entire inn was suddenly surrounded by officers and soldiers. When we were about to go out, we found that the door was surrounded by layers, and our brothers who were outside the door were all caught by those officers and soldiers. The lord of Peize City, whose name is Bo Zhuo, sat on his horse and said to us: "This official has received a report that you have destroyed the address of the Zhaoyang Gang, injured their gang disciples, and stolen their horses, and this official has come to arrest you!" ”

"How can it be!" Tai Hao said angrily, "Those thieves stole your horses, but the government ignored them. As a result, the thieves went to sue the officials, and they arrested you in turn! ”

Voy sighed and continued to recall, "I explained to them what had happened, but the lord of Bethel fell on deaf ears. So we followed them to the yamen. When we arrived at the Yamen, he asked us where we came from and where we were going. One of the brothers threatened him and said that we were ordered by the emperor to go to Wenchuan City to resist the Japanese invaders, passing through Peize City, and if we encountered danger, we would definitely let him lose his official position and be imprisoned! At first he didn't believe it, but after we said the names of our disciples, he did. It turned out that this Bo Zhuo had served in the imperial court and knew his junior brother. ”

Taihao thought for a while and said, "I don't know this person named Bo Zhuo, I should have seen him, but I don't know his name." ”

Fu Yi said: "After the city lord of Bozhuo learned our identity, he told us about the status and power of this Zhaoyang Gang in Peize City. The Zhaoyang Gang was originally an underworld gang that specialized in robbing fishermen by Zhaoyang Lake, the gang disciples were all ruthless, and they did all kinds of evil, and the fishermen there couldn't stand their bullying, so they moved away one after another, but they began to rob the city on both sides of Zhaoyang Lake, and began to collect protection money, and the people who did not hand them the protection money would go to those people's homes to carry out destruction, and several successive city lords of Peize City had plans to arrest them, but in the end they did not succeed, On the contrary, two successive city lords were secretly killed by them. The city lord of Pedro said that he did not want to die at the hands of these bandits, and he asked us to give the horses to the bandits, and apologize to them, only by doing so would the people of Peize City be at peace. ”

Tai Hao angrily reprimanded: "It's lawless! ”

Voy said: "Of course we will not agree, because those horses are ours, how can they be easily given to a gang of bandits?" But if we don't agree, the lord of Bozhuo will not let us leave the yamen. I asked the Bozhuo City Lord, 'How many disciples are there in the Zhaoyang Gang?' He replied: 'There are more than eight hundred.' I pretended to promise the lord of the city to give them the horses, and then agreed to lead the brothers on the shore of Zhaoyang Lake to apologize to them. ”

Tai Hao shook his head suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "I really don't understand, there are only eight hundred bandits, there are so many officers and soldiers in Peize City, why are they afraid of these bandits?" Is it because they have some special means or strength, or is their martial arts very high? ”

Fu Yi said: "In my opinion, there are two main reasons, first, those bandits will take a large part of the looted property to the officials in the city, and those officials will definitely not be enemies with these bandits again." Second, the bandits did have some martial arts, and they were well-organized and acted quickly, and sometimes the officers and soldiers had already fled before they could react. Therefore, although they were just a group of bandits, they gave the officials and officers of Peize City a headache. ”

Tai Hao nodded after hearing this, he sighed deeply, and said, "This world is really chaotic, how did this matter be solved later?" ”

Fu Yi said: "Two days later, we went to Zhaoyang Lake under the leadership of two hundred officers and soldiers, and the bandit leader was arrogant and asked us to kneel to them, how is this possible? At that moment, I called on dozens of brothers to fight against them, and at first, those officers and soldiers still wanted to stop them, so I shouted to the leaders of those officers and soldiers: 'Today we must all eliminate these bandits, so that the people of Pize City can be peaceful, do you really want to live in terror?' Think of your wives and children! After hearing this, those officers and soldiers suddenly came to their senses and started a fierce battle with the bandits. Some of the bandits saw that the situation was unfavorable and hurriedly jumped into Zhaoyang Lake, but what they didn't know was that I had already arranged for more than 70 brothers who were good at water to lurk in the lake, and they opened a big net in the water and arrested all the bandits who jumped into the water, and those bandits on the shore refused to surrender, so we fought with them for 300 rounds, and finally annihilated them all. No matter how high the bandit leader's martial arts are, it won't help, because those little minions are all vulnerable. In the end, we confronted the bandit leader and beheaded him in the scuffle, and the bandits who were captured alive in the lake were also killed by the officers and soldiers. ”

Tai Hao exclaimed: "What a hearty battle! ”

Voy smiled and said, "Do you think this battle is over?" Things are not so simple, most of those bandits are the people on both sides of Zhaoyang Lake, killing more than 800 bandits at once, not only offending their families, but also offending their local 'protective umbrella', those officers and soldiers who fought with us fiercely with the bandits also put all the responsibility on us, the city lord of Peize City wanted to arrest us again, but those officers and soldiers finally let us go, and gave us their horses, so we were able to escape. ”

Taihao said: "I see! ”

Voy said: "Although we have been in Peize City for a long time, our more than 180 brothers have not lost a single soldier, however, when passing through Runchuan City, we have suffered huge casualties. Despite this, more than seventy brothers have survived now.

Hearing this, Taihao felt some self-reproach in his heart. He said: "How can there be so many brothers sacrificed, what is going on? Alas...... It's all my fault, let you come to Wenchuan City with me to fight against the Japanese, otherwise these brothers will still live happily on Mangdang Mountain. ”

Fu Yi waved his hand and said: "Senior brother, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you for this, maybe it's because we are too nosy." ”

Taihao asked, "What happened?" ”

Voye sighed and said, "As we passed by a village outside Runchuan City, we witnessed a group of pirates preparing to light torches and reduce the entire village to ashes. The villagers are in a desperate situation and have nowhere to run. After witnessing this, my heart was filled with pain, so I ordered my brothers to fight bravely against the Japanese invaders. Although we had only one hundred and eighty warriors and more than five hundred, my brothers fought valiantly in the face of the siege. Eventually, we managed to repel the pirates and save the village. However, the battle also cost us dearly, with more than a hundred of our brothers dying heroically in the battle. ”

Tai Hao was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally he said firmly: "Senior brother, you are doing the right thing, we should have protected those innocent people, this is also the purpose of our coming to Wenchuan City, and it is also the responsibility of every righteous person in the rivers and lakes." We should not choose to avoid things because we are afraid, but we should face them bravely. As for the dead brothers, their sacrifices will not be in vain, they will live forever in our hearts, and I swear, I will personally destroy all the pirates in the land of the Eastern Empire and avenge my brothers! ”

The rain was still pouring down outside the door, and the night was getting thicker. Voy looked at the sky and said to his junior brother, "It seems that the rain will not stop today." We'll go back to Wenchuan City early tomorrow morning, right? ”

Taihao nodded and said, "It's okay, then we'll set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

It didn't take long for He Liang to come here again, and Taihao told him that the rain would not stop, and they decided to set off again early tomorrow morning, and He Liang then conveyed the news to the other brothers.

No further ado. The next morning, the sun was shining. Tai Hao and Fu Yi led the brothers to say goodbye to the villagers of Wutan Village, but as they were about to step out of the village, a shadow appeared on the road ahead.

About 500 pirates blocked their way, all with hideous and terrifying expressions on their faces.

Tai Hao turned to Voi and the other brothers and said, "It seems that these widows are really haunted. Brothers, get ready for battle! Although his voice was calm, the determination in it was felt by every brother.

But at this time, one of the leaders of those would-be robbers waved his hand lightly, and several would-be robbers escorted more than a dozen villagers from their team to the front of the team, and they were all tied up by five flowers. The leader shouted in the broken Eastern Empire dialect: "Whoever killed the warriors in the cave, stand up quickly, or I will kill them all and burn this village to the ground!" ”

Tai Hao knew that the bodies of those Japanese warriors in the immortal cave had been discovered, so he responded: "Bold Japanese Invaders, you are doing nothing in the land of my Eastern Empire, robbing the people's daughters, and you dare to be so arrogant, do you really think that the people of our Eastern Empire are afraid of you?" ”

As soon as Taihao's words fell, he heard a "click", and one of the villagers who was caught by them hacked to death. Seeing this, Tai Hao said angrily: "Brothers, go on! ”

As soon as Tai Hao's order was issued, a fierce battle broke out between the brothers and the Wako. In an instant, the sword light and sword shadows, blood splattered. However, the swords of these would-be robbers were really difficult to fight, and Tai Hao constantly changed his moves to fight against them. Due to the large number of Japanese robbers and the extremely strange moves, Taihao's side has a slight advantage. Old Wutian Yong and Old Fourteen Baidong were slashed by the Japanese at this time, but they were still fighting desperately.

With Tai Hao's order, a fierce battle unfolded between the "Twenty Brothers of Mangdangshan" and the Japanese Kou. In an instant, the sword light and sword shadows flew sideways, blood splashed like a torrent, and the air was filled with the smell of iron and blood.

The yin wind of those Japanese swords wielding in their hands was gusting, and the fierce murderous aura made the brothers shudder. However, the tricks of these widows are so strange that they are overwhelmed by them. Although Taihao kept changing his moves, he could only support himself in the face of the numerical superiority and cunning tactics of the Japanese Invaders.

Old Wutian Yong and Old Fourteen Baidong were slashed by the Japanese at this moment, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered and fought desperately. The spear in Tian Yong's hand was like a storm, and every swing took away the life of a widow; Bai Dong relied on his brute strength to desperately block the attack of the Japanese and won a precious respite for his brothers. Despite the worrying situation, the brothers did not mean to give up, and their eyes were full of determination and determination.

At this critical juncture, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came. Taihao looked up and saw General Nanzhu leading four hundred wolf soldiers to quickly come and directly start a fierce battle with the Japanese invaders. After a while, they saw that those would-be wouldn't have suffered heavy casualties, and their swords looked so weak in front of the wolf, and the remaining would-be ones immediately fled the battlefield in panic.
