What followed was the endless fighting.

I don't know how long it took, but all the sounds around me gradually stopped, and the entire mountain field had turned the color of blood.

Wu Zhi stopped the big knife in his hand, and then raised his head to look at the side, only a few mountain bandits were still standing and fighting, but after all, it was only the end of the crossbow.

"Finally, we have to keep the clouds open and see the dawn."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and moved his muscles and bones, which clicked at the joints.

Wu Song was already standing not far away, and seeing this, he hurriedly trotted all the way over and asked nervously.

"Brother, what did you just say? Could it be that there is some command? ”

"It's just a casual emotion, you don't have to mind, are there any remaining bandits on this mountain?"

Wu Zhi easily skipped the topic, quickly shifted, and asked about something else.

And Wu Song didn't notice all these dark box operations, quickly swept around with his eyes, and then answered seriously.

"We don't have this piece anymore, I don't know the situation over there, why don't I go and see it now?"

"For the sake of safety, let's go with you and me!"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Zhi strode in front to lead the way.

Wu Song followed, not daring to relax at all, and the two went to the other side of the mountain, and saw that the bandit suppression operation here was also going very smoothly.

The officers and soldiers they led won a large-scale victory and had completely taken the mountain!

At this moment, one of the officers and soldiers hurriedly ran over, clasped his fists and saluted, and made a report, with a clear look and a very respectful tone.

"Master Wu, most of the bandits have been killed, and the rest have surrendered, and we can now go down the mountain and return to the official mansion to resume our lives."

"Well, clean it up one last time, especially the back mountain, to prevent other people from hiding there."

"My subordinates understand!"

The officers and soldiers hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then took a few other people next to them to deal with it.

So, in addition to the busy officials, officers and soldiers around them, it was Wu Zhi and Wu Song who took the lead and were idle.

Of course, that didn't last long.

"Brother, do we want to continue to stay in the mountains?" Wu Song glanced around and felt that he was relatively idle.

After thinking about it, Wu Zhizhi handed over the follow-up clean-up to a trustworthy adjutant under his command, and then flew on his horse and went straight to the official mansion after taking Wu Song down the mountain.

Shang Yuning was originally in the county office, sitting on a recliner with his eyes closed.

He raised his hand to pick up the cup, but before he could finish the tea, he heard the neighing of horses outside.

With a slip in his hand, the cup fell to the ground and became fragments.

"Tsk, who dares to trespass on the official mansion? It's not at peace on my side. ”

Shang Yuning frowned, and he had already cursed in his heart.

The soldier in charge of guarding the front immediately ran over to report, "Lord County Commander, it's the Wu brothers who have returned." ”

"It turned out to be these two."

After saying that, Shang Yuning hurriedly got up, and then arrived at the main hall of the mansion as fast as possible, and saw that the two of them were already seated at the table.

But it's not at all......

But I complain in my heart, and I can't forget the business at all, let alone show my dissatisfaction.

Otherwise, according to the temper of these two people, they will definitely be beaten and beaten with a blue nose and swollen face!

Thinking of this, Shang Yuning's thoughts turned a thousand times, and his expression immediately smiled.

"Now that you two have returned safely, it means that the anti-bandit operation has ended smoothly, and I wonder when the remaining officers and soldiers will be able to return here?"

"In half an hour at most, they'll be back."

Wu Zhi thought about it, and then gave an approximate time.

Hearing this, Shang Yuning stopped asking, and his eyes wandered between the two in front of him.

"According to the information obtained from the previous investigation, now that the nearby mountain fees have been wiped out by you, I plan to hold a celebration banquet in order to make you famous."

"Of course you can, it's all up to the county magistrate."

Of course, Wu Zhi has no opinion on this aspect.

After all, he never cared about the vain things, only the real money and the power in his hands.

But now that we've talked about it, there may be a lot to be used for this celebration feast, such as luring out those who are hiding in the dark and want to frame you.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi's eyes narrowed into a slit and looked at Shang Yuning next to him.

"Lord County Commander, you should also know that our two brothers are from Yanggu County and have left their hometowns, so I hope you can give us a good publicity! Let the people of this neighborhood remember the merits of our two brothers! ”

"Of course, no problem, you can leave it to me."

Shang Yuning thinks that such a request is reasonable.

And you can do it yourself, so there is no reason to refuse, and the promise of going with the flow is the best choice.

In this way, the two sides talked for half an hour before they walked out of the main hall at the same time.

"Master Wu, to be honest, I always feel that your ability is far stronger than what you show, and your future position will be above me."

Shang Yuning went all the way to the door and couldn't help but tease.

Wu Zhi was not a fool, and understood that there was also a sense of temptation in these words.

He smiled casually, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, who knows what I will become in the future, then let's talk about it then." ”

When the words fell, Wu Zhi waved goodbye directly, left the mansion with his younger brother Wu Song, and rushed to the direction of Hujiazhuang.

Considering that the road was a bit long, and the two brothers were physically and mentally exhausted after a day of fighting in the mountains, they rode back directly.

But when they walked through the streets and alleys, they rode such high-headed horses, which inevitably attracted the attention of the people passing by, and they cast their eyes one after another, and the voices of discussion rose higher and higher.

"I have to say, these two brothers are really the gospel of our Qingfeng Town, since they came, there have been no bandits harassing ordinary people!"

"Especially this Wu Dalang, it was rumored that he was a dwarf who could only sell cooking cakes, and his personality was timid and cowardly."

"Now it seems that the rumors are really inaccurate, and they are outrageously wrong!"

"It's clear that some people are jealous that the two Wu brothers are outstanding, so they will make up that kind of rumor to frame people, this kind of person is too conscienceless!"

The admiration was endless.

After Wu Zhi heard this, he had already expected it in his heart, so his mood did not fluctuate.

On the contrary, Wu Song's face gradually turned red.

He coughed to hide his embarrassment, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, the last time we left from Yanggu Town, we felt that the people were not so enthusiastic, but now that they react like this, I am a little overwhelmed. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled and asked.

"It's good to get used to it, I guess you'll have to deal with a bigger scene in the future, if you're still so young, how can you take on a heavy responsibility?"
