Chapter 18: Conjecture

It was impossible to hide the news of the bandits' landing, Ye Tian asked Xu Dengwen to gather everyone in the outer square, and then told them about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Some of these people live in the county town, and they are not afraid that the bandits will attack it. Some of them came from the surrounding villages, and when they heard that the pirates were coming, they were all worried and wanted to leave the mountains and return home.

According to the usual way of response, the coastal patrol posts found a pirate boat, and when the fast horse sent a message to the military camp city and county, it would use arrows to warn the villages along the way. When villagers are reminded, they can quickly pack up their belongings and take refuge from their villages.

When you go back at this time, you may not be able to happen to meet your family members on the way. If the family lives closer to the outer extension, it may also encounter bandits, then it is better to stay in the mountains and wait for news.

Ye Tian gave everyone a little analysis, and seeing that everyone had their own considerations, he had to say all he could, and took Gu Liuli and Xu Dengwen down the mountain in a big stride.

In one of the villages at the foot of the mountain, Chang'an would foster a number of good horses and two carriages, and each of them rode one, and after galloping out a short distance of horses, they encountered a team under the banner of the enemy's gang.

Ye Tian naturally had no intention of dealing with the other party at the moment, but when the three of them galloped past the roadside, someone shouted: "Master Ye waits." ”

The three of them stopped their horses, turned their heads to look back, Shi Jianxin came out on horseback, and asked, "Master Ye is in a hurry, and he is also going to deal with the bandits?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Tian didn't have a good impression of Shi Jianxin, and his tone was extremely indifferent.

Shi Jianxin laughed: "The Chang'an Association is really a master of art and bold, and he wants to fight the pirates with the strength of three people, but I really admire the enemy gang beyond measure." ”

There are fifty pirates in a team, they have practiced battle formations, and they have always adhered to the policy of avoiding the strong and attacking the weak.

Ye Tian knew this well, and he might not be able to meet other groups of martial artists on the road, and when the time came, he would take the initiative to go together. But those who contradict each other like the enemy gang are still exempt.

"If Elder Shi has nothing important, let's leave it at that. ”

"I am the enemy to help more than 30 people on this trip, no matter how high the personal cultivation of the head of Ye is, there must be no way to take the bandits, why don't you and I be together? Everyone is in Izumo Peak, and you don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, in case you have a good guy and complains that I Shi Jianxin was not invited, then it will be wronged. ”

How can you have the appearance of being half sincere in your tone and posture? Ye Tian said expressionlessly: "Life and death are all safe and fateful, Elder Shi is kind, and Ye understands it." Let's go. ”

However, most of the enemy gangs walked slowly, and when they reached the front line, the bandits could not tell how many villages they had already hazard. If the Qiyang Sect and the army, more than half of them like the enemy gang and Cao Yuankui are casual and procrastinating, and want to completely eradicate the bandits, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Gu Liuli said in a cold voice: "It's really shameful to be neighbors with the enemy, and when everything is over in the near future, I will drive them out of Yingtian Peak." ”

"What are you doing with them?" Ye Tian sneered: "Isn't it more fun to go to him to find fault if there's nothing under your nose?"

Not only do you have nothing to do to find fault, but you can also use it to practice for the children of the disciples in the future.

The three of them galloped along the official road, and within more than ten miles, they saw many civilians avoiding the disaster, but the group of warriors did not meet a team.

A few years ago, the pirates ambushed and killed many people! It is estimated that most of the pirates landed in the previous attempt to detect the reality of Qiyang, but this time I am afraid that if the response is not done properly, the number of villages destroyed in each county will double. Could it be that the leadership of the Qiyang government and the Wumeng are all eating dry rice?

After running for several miles, they finally saw more than a dozen knights dressed as warriors. The three of them accelerated to catch up, only to find that the other party was actually from the Yunshan faction.

Xu Liang ordered the people to dismount and bowed their hands to Ye Tian: "Master Ye, Elder Gu, Xu Jiaoxi." ”

He is so polite, how can the Chang'an Association lose the courtesy, and the three of them also dismount to respond.

"Master Ye is in a hurry, is he going to deal with the bandits?"

These words were exactly the same as Shi Jianxin's words earlier, and Ye Tian nodded.

"If you don't mind, why don't you and I go together, and take care of each other? Don't hide it from the three of you, the number of pirates this time is the same as a year ago, Xu is really a little worried. ”

Seeing Ye Tian and Gu Liuli looking at each other, Xu Liang thought that they were still annoyed by his provocation at the opening ceremony of the Chang'an Society, and said earnestly: "Can Master Ye still have a grudge against Xu? These days, I have always wanted to come to the door to ask for guilt, but I just can't pull off the old face, and I hope that Master Ye will not remember the villain. He bowed deeply.

On that day, Xu Liang was one of the leaders of the gangs in the main peak of Wutong, and he took the lead in intervening in the contradictions between the Chang'an Association and the Lianyun faction, and also teamed up with Shi Jianxin to fight two against one. Ye Tian finally defeated them with a tiger-shaped fist, but at that time, considering that they were different from Zhang Xiu, who deliberately hurt people from the Lianyun Sect, he did not make a ruthless move.

Xu and Shi had both personally felt Ye Tian's power, and if Ye Tian urged Dan Xi when he defeated them, the two of them were afraid that they would lose half their lives. Since Ye Tian is tolerant and generous, Xu Liang claims to have clear grievances and grievances in his life, and he will never be an enemy of Ye Tian again.

No wonder the Yunshan faction did not merge into the enemy gang, it turned out that there was still this reason. Ye Tian hurriedly helped Xu Liang up: "What does Master Xu say, how can I, Ye Tian, be a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, don't mention the past." ”

Xu Liang arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Ye." ”

Everyone turned over and walked against the fleeing villagers, Ye Tian said again: "Actually, Master Xu misunderstood just now, I just didn't expect you to think that the dynamics of the pirates were abnormal." ”

"What does Master Fei Ye know?"

"It's all my speculation. Ye Tian told Xu Liang his conjecture.

"So, maybe the pirates have laid another trap this time?"

"I can't say for sure if they set a trap, but I'm sure if they don't get them a head-on blow this time, they might have made a bigger move next time. ”

"The bigger move means that they will attack the city and county?"

Ye Tian shook his head. There is nothing to be afraid of attacking the city and county, the pirates have no stronghold on land, and blindly attacking the city and county will only give the government and the Wumeng a chance to encircle and annihilate them.

The border areas of the Dahua court have always been unstable, and the Beiban and Xihu have repeatedly violated the border, which overwhelmed Dahua, and with the help of the power of the Wumeng, the current stalemate has been formed. The Dongyi bandits may not want to take advantage of the situation to get a piece of the pie and move their homeland to the mainland. However, with Beiban and Xihu as a reference, they have also frequently disturbed the coast in the past few years, and they know the attitude of the Wumeng, so they will not attack on a large scale if they do not weaken the strength of Dongwulin to a certain extent.

"I can't say what they're going to do, but it must be for the Qiyang Sect. ”

Xu Liang was stunned and wanted to say that it was impossible, but then he thought about it, the pirates had already designed to ambush hundreds of warriors a few years ago, proving that their real combat power was far from what everyone thought in the past, why couldn't they design to break through one or two more sects?

If the pirates can break through one or two sects, looting the food and money accumulated by the sects is one thing, and on the other hand, they will inevitably have to search for the martial arts secrets of those sects, which is a more precious wealth. As long as the Qiyang officers and soldiers and warriors retreat before they cut off the back road, and bring the secrets of martial arts back to the bandits' den, their combat effectiveness can be improved again.

However, Ye Tian's worries were far more than that.
