Chu Zhongli was leading a group out of the city gate. He had already discussed with the King of Chu and decided to go to Linjiang City on the border of Wu and Chu to take office. The king of Chu originally planned to send him three hundred elites, but in order not to make too much of a statement, he only sent his own escort team, about thirty or forty people. The guards were led by Xu Yuan, the chief of the guards.

At this time, he led his horse and led the crowd out of the city, and on the horse next to him sat a fat black man who was not beaten, and his fat was trembling. This person's surname is Zhang, his name is Yan, and he calls himself Yutian. is Chu Zhongli's personal doctor, because Chu Zhongli can't cultivate, he thought it was a "strange disease" at first, and his eyes were not good, so he was assigned a personal doctor. Zhang Yan is two years younger than him and is a Chinese medicine student. Chu Zhong left here, he was afraid that he would lose his job, so he followed Chu Hou. Although he has his own number, no one calls him his number, respects him, calls him "Doctor Zhang", and those who are close to him generally call him "Zhang Feizi" jokingly. Of course, Zhang Feizi is a more friendly name, if he is not friendly, he will be called "dead fat". This person is also an extrovert and never goes to his heart.

The day before Chu Zhongli was leaving, Zhang Feizi found Chu Hou and said, "I'll follow you." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "What's so good about following me, you see that your other junior brothers are so promising, you have cured my illness in the past few years, which is not conducive to your future development." ”

As a result, Zhang Feizi said: "This is exactly what I can't ask for." The other brothers have a future, and they have to see dozens of patients every day, and they are so busy that they hit the back of their heads. It's just me, I've been living on you for the past few years, just treating you as a sick person, I can eat my belly so fat, do you think I can leave you in the future?" Chu Zhongli was also afraid that there would be a headache and brain fever along the way, and there would be no harm in letting him follow. In addition, he is also a cultivator, his level is the fourth stage of condensing qi, and he can also see, smell, ask, and cut the four exercises, so keeping him in the team is also a help.

Chu Zhongli looked at Yingdu, who was gradually moving away behind him, and thought: "Now that I'm gone, when I come back, I shouldn't be the same person I am now." ”

As they walked farther and farther away, they came to a secluded mountain road, and suddenly a group of robbers, about a hundred people, surrounded them thirty or forty people, and the one at the head was about forty or fifty years old with a large gun in his hand and an exaggerated beard on his face. The robber let out a hearty laugh: "It seems that what the boss said is indeed right, the third son of the King of Chu who is not angry really passed by here and kidnapped him, at least he can exchange it for 100,000 taels of silver, and I will be able to make a windfall at that time!"

Before Chu Zhongli and his party could react, the robber Lao Chang waved his big gun: "Brothers, give it to me! Catch the one in the middle who is dressed!"

Chu Zhongli was very calm, he now had the "power of the Eastern Emperor", it could be said that he was not afraid of anything, and said to Zhang Feizi: "Feizi, don't you know how to 'look'? Go and look at that bearded man to see what level he is." "Although Chu Zhongli is very powerful, his eyes are not good, and if he is far away, he can't detect the other party's condition.

"Okay!" Zhang Feizi agreed, and then picked up the word "hope" to probe the enemy's situation from a distance. He opened a big mouth that could be eaten and said, "Boss, this beard is a fifth stage of condensation, which is only one stage taller than me." ”

"Can you deal with him?" asked Chu Zhongli.

"It doesn't seem to work. Zhang Feizi scratched his head.

"I'll try. Chu Zhongli kicked the saddle, and the person suddenly rushed towards the robber Lao Chang like an arrow from the string, he had the "power of the Eastern Emperor", which could assist him in everything, and his speed naturally increased a lot.

He was seen charging at him, and then raised his gun.

"First-Order Exercise: Meteor Thorn!"

A cyan meteor flew towards Chu Zhongli. If this had been placed before, Chu Zhongli might not have been able to dodge it, but now that he has the power of the Eastern Emperor to possess his body, how can he take this level of exercise to heart? With a slight twist of his body, he dodged this stab and rushed in front of him as quickly as a swift wind. With a slight snap of his fingers, he broke off the tip of the big gun in Lao Chang's hand. With a backhand finger, he put the head of the gun against Lao Chang's throat, and instantly subdued him.

"Don't move, or I'll be impulsive. Chu Zhongli looked at the situation and saw that although there were many robbers, they were a rabble, and Xu Yuan, the captain of the escort team, was extremely brave, and he used his two-handed sword to cut down more than a dozen robbers. The bandits were already at a disadvantage in the battle with the convoys.

Chu Zhongli saw that the time had come, and shouted: "Surrender and don't kill, I promise in the honor of the Marquis of Chu that I will definitely treat the prisoners preferentially!"

This sentence really had an effect, and dozens of bandits who had no will to fight really put down the weapons in their hands. The rest of the robbers saw that the general situation was gone, and there was nothing they could do, so they laid down their weapons. The encounter ended in a complete victory.

Chu Zhongli gathered all the captives together, let go of Lao Chang, and said to him: "This leader, you don't have much oil and water to be robbers all year round, and you are still in danger, so you might as well join us." Chu is about to go to the fiefdom to take up his post, and when you pass, you can be a general, and your subordinates can also receive a military salary, isn't it much better than being a robber here?"

When I heard him say this, I was really a little tempted, but then I showed a look of embarrassment. "It's okay for me to follow you, but the key is that I'm not the head of the cottage, our boss has five or six hundred minions in his hands, wouldn't it be better if you could persuade her to follow you?"

Chu Zhong thought that there were five or six hundred minions, which was a bit difficult to do, and it would definitely not work hard, and it would be too embarrassing to turn around and go back. However, the military is an extension of politics, and by virtue of his own identity, he may be able to subdue them, and if he can subdue them, his own strength will not be greatly increased. So they asked him about the cottage and let him go, but took the other robbers as prisoners.

"You tell your boss, I want to negotiate with her, if she refuses, I can't guarantee the safety of her brothers!"

Lao Chang agreed again and again, and ran away in a puff of smoke. I went up the mountain and returned to the cottage to report the news.

After a long time, Lao Chang ran up again and said to Chu Zhongli: "The boss promised to negotiate with you, but he could only let you bring a few people up." ”

Xu Yuan, the chief of the guard, stepped forward and said, "Lord, let me go with you." ”

Zhang Feizi also said in a snort: "Boss, I am also willing to negotiate with you." ”

Chu Zhongli shook his head and said, "Since we want to negotiate, then I'll go by myself and promise to 'persuade' them to surrender." ”

Although Xu Yuan felt dangerous in his heart, looking at Chu Zhongli's skills, it seemed that there was no problem with retreating. also put his heart at ease, and said loudly: "If the lord does not return here, he will cut off the heads of this group of robbers!" This is naturally said to the old man, in order to increase the bargaining chips of the game. It frightened the robbers so much that some of the timid ones peed their pants.

Chu Zhongli followed Lao Chang to the cottage hall, only to see that although the hall was not luxurious, it also had its own wild style. In the center seat sat a short-haired female robber, who was handsome, with short hair and strong muscles, and looked like a character who was not easy to mess with. Chu Hou used the "power of the Eastern Emperor" to probe her level, good guy, there is actually a period of concentrating essence! You must know that the condensation period and the condensation period can be completely qualitative changes, if there is no adventure, the people in the condensation period will not be able to compete with the people in the concentrating period.

The robber stretched and arched her hand unconcernedly. "I've seen Chu Hou. The little woman is called 'Wanyue' and is the master of this cottage. ”

Chu Zhongli's eyes suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he rubbed his eyes. Wanyue was angry in her heart after seeing it, I talked to you well, but you rubbed your eyes there, this is too contemptuous!

Chu Zhongli said, "Oh, I'm sorry...... I don't have good eyes, it's not that I look down on you. ”

Wanyue didn't know what to say after hearing this, and said, "Why are you willing to let my brother go?"

Chu Zhongli said: "Ah...... You brothers don't have to put it ...... If you join me and do something bigger together in the future. ”

Wanyue was also taken aback when she heard him be so direct, and said, "You dozens of people, but you want to recruit hundreds of us?"

"It's not about numbers, I can give you a better future. There is a saying, 'Who has ever seen a robber with a bald head?' When a robber is confined to a small area, he cannot live a normal life, and he is afraid of being exterminated. Or join us, and it is possible to be knighted in the future, which is more cost-effective. ”

Chu Zhongli failed to cultivate back then, but he developed very well in other aspects, and doing ideological and political work like this time is an ability that Chu Hou has learned.

"Your words are not entirely unreasonable. But if you want to recruit me, at least you have to defeat me first, right?" The rhythm of the waning moon had been completely led by Chu Hou, but he still said unwillingly.

"That is, if I can overcome you alone, you will lead your brothers to join us?"

"That's right, if you lose, let me tie me up and give your father a ransom of 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"That's it, let's do it!"

Chu Hou set up a position, and the robbers from all directions retreated, giving way to a large open space in the center. I only heard a loud shout from Wanyue, picked up the double axes from his waist, and threw them at Chu Zhongli in a row.

"Second-Order Exercise: Whirlwind Flying Axe!"

The second-order exercises were really unusual, Chu Zhongli only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the two plate axes actually slashed towards his face! But he had the power of the Eastern Emperor, and he could "count the extreme of all things", and his agility naturally increased, and when he raised his head at the last moment, two plate axes flew past his face, and two hairs fell to the ground.

The plate axe had just flown over his head, but suddenly it flew back at him from behind as if it had eyes. Chu Zhongli rolled a few times before he could avoid it. And the flying axe still circled around him, and in just a few moments, Chu Zhongli had already encountered danger one after another.

At this time of crisis, Chu Zhongli suddenly understood in his heart that only by bypassing the flying axe and defeating the waning moon could he achieve victory!

Wanyue blocked it with her arm, but how could she shake the "power of the Eastern Emperor"? Suddenly she was taken a step back, and bruises appeared on her arms. The female robber actually had kung fu with her fists and feet, and kicked towards Chu Zhongli.

"Second-Order Exercise: Whirlwind Flying Legs!"

The waning moon came out of her legs very quickly, and for a while, it seemed that dozens of leg shadows were kicking towards Chu Zhongli. But Chu Zhongli had the power of the Eastern Emperor, and his perception was unusual, and he suddenly found a gap, grabbed her ankle and twisted it, and her center of gravity suddenly lost its balance.

Chu Zhongli immediately rushed forward and threw Wanyue to the ground, his whole body pressed tightly against her body. Two hands pressed each other's two hands, Wanyue showed an expression of patience on his face, and struggled hard, but he never struggled, and could only be firmly controlled by him. His chest was constantly heaving, and he was gasping for air.

"You've been defeated. ”

Wanyue snorted, her face still showing an unyielding look.

Chu Zhongli sighed, let go of his control over the waning moon, stood up, and walked two steps to the side, the waning moon fell to the ground, he didn't breathe for a while, and he couldn't stand up, so he sat on the ground and looked at Chu Hou.

Chu Hou picked up the double axe he had just hit and slowly put it at Wanyue's feet, this amiable move seemed to ease Wanyue's attitude a little, and the eyes that looked at Chu Zhongli were not so hostile.

Chu Zhongli took out a small bottle from his arms, took out the medicine and applied it symbolically on his hand, and then gently put it at her feet, and said: "Offended, since the owner of the village is still unwilling, Chu Mou retired." It's just that my strength just now was a little too great, and the owner of the village and I fought hard for a lot of tricks, and bruises have appeared on my body, especially the wrists of my two hands, if I don't apply some medicine, it may be more serious. I put the medicine here and there I went. With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Wanyue's eyes softened a lot, as if she didn't want Chu Zhongli to leave like this, she stood up and said to Chu Hou, "We can talk about the conditions." ”

"What conditions does the owner of the village have?"

"Independently compiled, and ...... In the future, you can't look down on us because we have done this business. ”

"Don't worry, this is natural, everyone will be brothers in the future, how can anyone look down on their own brothers?"

"In that case, I keep my promise and join you. ”

As a result, this female robber, who had five or six hundred junior brothers in her hands and had a concentration level herself, became Chu Zhongli's junior brother! When she led her brothers down the mountain, everyone couldn't believe how this marquis had managed to surrender the other party in just a moment? A team of dozens of people turned into a team of several hundred, and they just headed towards his fiefdom. And at this moment, Chu Zhongli felt a surge of power pouring out of his dantian, and his level had risen to the second stage of condensation!
