The Mangfu battalion was stationed in a small dense forest next to Hongnongguan Road.

The snow and ice melted, the weather was cold, piles of firewood for heating were lit, and the soldiers smelled the smell of broth from the makeshift kitchen, chatting nonsense.

Rear, big tent.

Li Wuchang looked at the embarrassed Zhang family members, his expression was calm, and there was no sadness or joy.

"I don't know the general's name, you saved me, I am really grateful!" A middle-aged man in his forties bowed his hand to Li Wuchang.

Although he had a haggard face and ragged clothes, he looked very polite, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Who are you?" asked Li Wuchang lightly.

"We are all members of the Zhang family in the capital, and we are really ashamed to come to Hongnong to do business and mistakenly fall into the hands of bandits!" the middle-aged man explained.

"Zhang's ...... But the family of Zhang Shangshu of the Capital Military Department?" Li Wuchang pretended to be surprised.

"Exactly!" the middle-aged man nodded with a smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

In front of him, the Zhang family and his party of eight people, except for the middle-aged man who answered, the rest were much younger, and when they saw Li Wuchang's shocked expression when they heard the name of the Zhang family, their faces showed arrogance.

They didn't know Li Wuchang, they just thought that Li Wuchang was just a little general who was still sweeping in the western part of Hongnong, and there were not many soldiers under him, so he shouldn't have much strength, and with the brand of the Zhang family in the capital, they didn't have to worry at all.

"Someone...... Grab a few mats and ask a few guests to sit down! Go to the kitchen and get some hot soup and food as soon as possible. Li Wuchang hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

Immediately, someone sent a cushion as requested and asked the Zhang family to sit down.

"Well, why are you so careless?...... Isn't it good for you to stay in the capital well? Just leave the rough work of fighting and suppressing bandits to a rough person like me. Li Wuchang sat down and asked again, showing concern on his face.

"Hey, Dayan is now full of disasters, and after I become the founder of the country, I naturally have to come forward, but I am only doing my part!" Although the middle-aged man sighed, he was quite righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Oh, you must be doing a great errand, contemptible admiration!" Li Wuchang arched his hand.

"What are you talking about...... You haven't answered my second uncle's words, what's your name? Look at your young age, have you made the silver mixed with a miscellaneous little general?" A young man in his twenties scolded Li Wuchang.

The faces of several elite soldiers beside Li Wuchang changed.

"Daring, how did you talk to the general? Apologize to me immediately!" The middle-aged man turned dark when he saw this.

The young man pursed his lips and did not apologize, his expression was still arrogant, he didn't believe that the people around Li Wuchang dared to make a move, and they moved the Zhang family, and they didn't have to mix up one by one.

"Alas, General, forgive me for not being strict with my subordinates, and don't be like him. The middle-aged man laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Wuchang waved his hand, "Contemptible Lu Xifa!"

"It turned out to be General Lu, Jiu Yang!" the middle-aged man said flattering words, and his mind was racing.

In the Hongnong area, most of him knew that he didn't have the name "Lucifa" after thinking about it, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

"Hey, I was temporarily sent by the imperial court to pacify the disasters around Xiangyang County, it was purely indiscriminate, and I just passed by Hongnong this time. Li Wuchang explained.

"General Lu is too modest!" said the middle-aged man with a smile, feeling a lot more settled.

It seems that the Lu Xifa in front of him should have no background, because there is no surname Lu in the big family in Chang'an City.

At this time, the logistics soldiers had already served hot broth and steamed buns.

These Zhang family members immediately devoured it, and it seemed that they were not lightly hungry.

"I heard that your Zhang family took advantage of the chaos of the war to do a lot of big business in Hongnong?" Li Wuchang looked at the middle-aged man who was drinking broth, and asked with a smile.

The leader who blocked the road on the official road before said that the people of Zhangjia Farm gathered together, under the banner of Dayan's troubles, collected grain everywhere, did not give a penny, and even robbed money and daughters.

The officers and men who accompanied him not only did not organize, but also aided in the abuse.

To collect grain from the people, of course, you have to give money, and there are clear regulations on how much to give.

In addition, they will also regularly go to the middle of Hongnong to pull property, and the connector is Zhang Yanbang's guards, and every time things have to be pulled by a carriage, they are all valuable things obtained from the battlefield, not only are they not handed over, but even the soldiers under their command have not scored.

At that time, Li Wuchang, who was far away in Feng Yi, had heard a little that Zhang Yanbang had to be polite to him except for General Shan Boyuan in Hongnong.

In addition to being inexplicably attacked by a large number of masters of the rivers and lakes, Zhang Yanbang can be said to be extremely beautiful.

When the middle-aged man heard Li Wuchang's question, his face changed slightly, and he said neither soft nor hard: "What does General Lu mean?"

Several young people also stopped eating and looked at Li Wuchang fiercely.

"It's nothing, I heard that you got a lot of money, and there are even women, and it's hidden somewhere in the west of Hongnong...... Hehe, you know what I mean, right?" Li Wuchang smiled lewdly.

"How daring, a little ragtag general, do you know who you're talking to?" the young man in his twenties jumped up again.

Li Wuchang showed a sinister smile and said, "Come on! These people pretend to be members of the Zhang family, fish in troubled waters, and try in vain to ruin Zhang Shangshu's reputation...... Grandma is a bear, she dares to play tricks with Lao Tzu!"

After speaking, he put away his smile, and his eyes became extremely cold.

Originally, Li Wuchang was still thinking about a good routine, but it seemed that it would not work.

The middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and he knew that he had met a stunned Qing, and he didn't have time to speak, and a group of elites from the second stunned village immediately pounced on him like wolves, and beat the Zhang family into screams with a chaotic fist.

"You're looking for death...... Ahh

"You know what happened if you did that...... Ahh

"How dare you coerce my Zhang family...... Ahh

A few people still wanted to put a few cruel words to scare Li Wuchang, but before they finished speaking, they immediately came up with fists, and their teeth were loosened, their faces were swollen, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding.

Cao Hao withdrew his fist and said disdainfully: "A bunch of magic sticks, dare to be stubborn when they are dying? and dare to threaten our General Lu? It seems that they are sincerely looking for death!"

Then he instructed the people around him: "You go around and look for small rivers and lakes...... A few of you go find a bigger wooden plank, a large stone slab is fine, it must be bigger, wait for my brother and I will show you a machete chopping meat sauce!"

The Zhang family finally couldn't get angry, and one by one they became as pale as dirt.

"General Lu...... Can you listen to the next word?" the middle-aged man reluctantly spoke.

In his opinion, this young General Lu did not believe that they were the Zhang family, but wanted to take the opportunity to make some benefits, and he was really a stunned young man who wanted money and did not want his life.

Are the benefits of the Zhang family so easy to take?

When encountering this kind of stunned green, what else can be done?

Middle-aged people can only find a way to stabilize as much as possible.

"Tell me...... However, I don't like to listen to nonsense, and as you can see, my subordinates are all a bunch of violent people, so you'd better get some dry goods, and as for the cruel words, you don't need to let them go, I, Lu Xifa, have heard a lot of cruel words!" Li Wuchang stared at the middle-aged man with a cold expression.

"I don't know what General Lu wants?" The middle-aged man reminded himself to be calm, the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, they will avoid this wave first, and then there will be opportunities for revenge in the future.

"Call me...... is not only a fool, but also a blind man, Uncle Ben has the word 'greedy for money' on his face, he can't see it, and he still wants to talk about conditions. Li Wuchang said fiercely.

"Damn, it turned out to be a blind man!" Cao Hao's right hand with an iron ring beckoned to the middle-aged man's face.

"Stop...... Stop, stop, there's something to say, there's something to say!" the middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, embarrassed, and could no longer see the calm look he had before.

The others were also frightened, only to feel that this Lucifer was much more savage than the gang of bandits he had encountered before.
