Two hours later, Lin Bei sat in a dilapidated wooden house.

In the narrow corner, a man lying in bed looked at Lin Bei in fear, his face pale.

"Master Jun, I don't have anything to eat at home, only this little rice porridge."

The old woman's thin face wrinkled, and she held a tattered porcelain bowl.

Lin Bei looked at the thin rice porridge in the bowl with no rice grains in sight, and knew that the other party was probably using all the stored grain at home to cook porridge.

He didn't say anything, but drank it with relish.

Ah Yue walked on the side of the muddy path, and when she walked into the dilapidated wooden house, she saw Lin Bei, who was covered in mud, sitting on the ground, and in front of him was an old man who kept kowtowing.

Lin Bei looked helplessly at the old man who couldn't afford it, just gave some rice, and they were very grateful, and the people here might not be able to eat polished rice when they thought about it.

"Thank you, Master Jun."

The man lying on the plank struggled to get up, but Lin Bei hurriedly pressed it.

"No need to be polite, we are here on the orders of His Majesty to rescue the people and suppress the bandits."

"I know there is a nest of bandits near you, if you know about their den, let me know, and we will help you eradicate these bandits."

"Master Jun, it's not that we don't want to say it, it's just ......"

The man looked embarrassed, if he let the mountain bandits know that it was their village who informed, their entire village might suffer.

Carefully observing Lin Bei's face, he was afraid that Lin Bei's face would change in the next second.

And instead of getting angry, Lin Bei stood up happily.

"It's okay, I know your difficulties, so leave it to us next."

"Old woman, I'm leaving."

Lin Bei glanced at Ah Yue, who was leaning on the door, and said goodbye to the old woman.

The old lady was holding a small bag of polished rice, still expressing her gratitude to Lin Bei, her eyes full of tears.

Lin Bei and the two left the wooden house, and Bian Long waited outside for a long time, when he saw Lin Bei covered in mud, he was a little stunned.

"No soldier makes a mistake, does he?"

"There was a soldier who secretly killed a family's hen, and his subordinates had people pay twice the price to the family."

"And then?"

Lin Bei patted off the dry dirt on his clothes and asked seemingly unintentionally.

"My subordinates don't understand."

Bian Long bowed his head.

"Did the soldier apologize?"

Lin Bei's voice was a little colder.

Bian Long hurriedly surrendered his hand and left quickly.

At dusk, Lin Bei looked at the resentful faces of the team of 100 people, which accounted for a large proportion, and his face was indifferent.

The soldiers looked at Lin Bei, who was muddy on his body, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

As the elite soldiers of the Great Shang Army, they have never had such an embarrassing day, either helping the people repair the doors or helping the people move things.

In the team, some people have already begun to be dissatisfied with Lin Bei.

"Stationed here, tomorrow we'll go to the next village."

After Lin Bei dropped such a sentence, he walked into the camp.

As Lin Bei's back disappeared, a small whining voice suddenly erupted in the team.

At the end, the two soldiers listened to the grumbling of these soldiers, and a triumphant smile flashed in their eyes.

They also thought that Lin Bei would lose the morale of the army after the failure of the crusade against the mountain bandits, but they didn't expect that Lin Bei would make such a show from the beginning, which made many soldiers dissatisfied with him.

"Zhou Jinwei woke up?"

In the tent, Lin Bei asked Ah Yue, who was speechless.

Ah Yue nodded.

"I knew it."

Lin Bei was a little tired, took off the dirty clothes on his body at will, and fell asleep.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Lin Bei rushed to the next village with his team, and for a whole day, the soldiers were helping the people to work, and the resentment in his heart was even greater.

They are obviously here to exterminate the mountain bandits, but Lin Bei has been taking them to do dirty work for the people, how can they bear it if they look down on them so much.

All of a sudden, several soldiers violated the precepts issued by Lin Bei.

And Lin Bei's approach is also very direct, if he violates that precept, he will let these soldiers double the compensation for others.

By the time the evening was closed, a large number of soldiers had gathered outside the village, their eyes tired.

The following days were spent like this, all of which were led by Lin Bei himself, and he visited the villages in the surrounding area.

In just half a month, all the villagers knew that there was an army dedicated to helping the people.

At first, they thought that this army wanted to learn information about the mountain bandits from them, but these soldiers didn't ask a word, they just buried their heads in their work.

A month is fleeting.

Lin Bei looked at the piles of melons and fruits next to the team assembled in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you ask you not to take the people's things." ”

"Report! We didn't take it, they forced it into us, and we can't do it if we don't want it. ”

Bian Long said embarrassedly.

Lin Bei nodded, and then waved his hand: "Then you can divide it by yourself, this is the end of today, and rest by yourself." ”

"Tomorrow we will have a day off, and the day after tomorrow we will go up the mountain to suppress the bandits."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the team was excited with excitement.

After staying up for half a month, they finally heard the order to suppress the bandits from Lin Bei's mouth, not to mention how excited they were.

on the ridge.

The meaty mountain bandit leader looked at the troops stationed below, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a disdainful smile.

What Lin Bei led the team under the mountain, in half a month, they saw it clearly.

"This group of officers and soldiers still wants to get news of us from those poor people, brothers, are you funny?"

The words of the bandit leader immediately drew unbridled laughter from the bandits.

"More than 100 people want to eat us, I think this so-called General Lin is bullshit, brothers, give me a good look at them, that kid can't get the news for half a month, he must be in a hurry."

Between the mountains and forests, the men responded with a smile.

In the face of well-trained soldiers, they did not have the slightest fear in their hearts.

If they take 10,000 steps back, even if the poor people below confess to them, it will be impossible for more than 100 officers and soldiers to stop them on the mountain.

After ten days and half a month, they ran out of the mountains again, and then became their bandits.

After a day, Lin Bei looked at the heavily armed soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.

Half a month did not wear out the determination to suppress the bandits in their hearts, but made them look forward to it even more.

More than a dozen soldiers carried half-life firewood, tired and panting.

"Overseer, are we going to burn the mountains to force them?"

Bian Long, who was the leader, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked suspiciously.

Everyone also looked at Lin Bei, puzzled.

Although setting fire to the mountains has some effect, the mountains here are all connected, and if they are not controlled well, they are likely to cause fires.

And as long as the mountain bandits on the mountain see a little fireworks, there is absolutely no shadow left.

"Who said I'm going to burn the mountain."

Lin Bei took out the fire fold, felt the direction of the wind, and showed a smile.

"Is the damp cloth ready?"

"Ready!"

Several soldiers replied with strips of cloth soaked in large baskets.

The eyes of more than a hundred people fell on Lin Bei's body, waiting for Lin Bei to issue an order.

Lin Bei squatted down and lit the firewood for half his life.

Suddenly, smoke rose from a large piece of firewood that could not be burned sufficiently, and it rushed towards the mountain peak in the direction of the wind.

"Remember what I said, attack the mountain!"
