I was building in ancient times

Chapter 56 Looting

Duan Shubai smiled and moved his face closer. Xiao Yuhe was pretending to have a straight face, but now he couldn't hold it anymore, and slapped him away with a smile, "Don't call me by my name again."

"Okay, okay , I won't bark." Duan Shubai smiled, and said to himself: From now on, I will only bark in my heart.

Xiao Yuhe saw right through him, and added again: "Don't call it that in your heart!" Duan

Shubai put away his smile, stared into his eyes, and said softly, "You have always been a good husband in my heart."

Yu He bumped into his eyes, and was taken aback for a moment, the other's doting smile penetrated directly into his heart, his body became slightly hot, and he turned his face away uncomfortably to look elsewhere, his tone was weaker than before: "It's more or less the same."

Pingkou Mountain occupies a natural barrier, and a camp was built on the mountainside, named "White Tiger Village", and it was heavily guarded. This is the base camp of White Tiger General Qi Kanghu. He invited the other two The leaders of the forces discussed together how to eliminate Duan Shubai in Xinyang City.

Qi Kanghu's new hatred and old hatred for Duan Shubai can be described as old hatred. He called himself the White Tiger General, and the story of Duan Shubai fighting the white tiger alone and becoming a tiger-fighting hero is widely circulated in Yangzhou. Ke him? This name is enough to make him uncomfortable, not to mention that there is one thing that is not humane.

He, Qi Kanghu, met a white tiger on the mountain when he was a child, and the white tiger ran away after he was scared when he was a child. After he escaped from the tiger's mouth by chance, the white tiger left an indelible impression in his heart. He always thought that the white tiger was a heroic god. , is the king of beasts.

So when he became an adult, he became the king of the mountain, calling himself a white tiger, and felt extremely honorable, and that paragraph of Shubai's clean and quick killing of the tiger was to trample his heart deeply... The bandit suppression in Shanbei made Qi Kanghu sleepless, and he wished he could get rid of Duan Shubai soon.

"What? Liu San was arrested!" Qi Kanghu swept the table, and with a few "bangs", the wine bowls and chopsticks fell to pieces on the floor.

He, Jiuli Wang Panyuan, and Cai Yecheng and other three forces held a banquet here. Bai Qiao set up a trap to catch the current bad news, the whole night of anticipation turned into empty joy, Qi Kanghu was furious, his eyes widened and his beard trembled.

Cai Yecheng, who was drowsy from drinking, was sobered by the cracking of the porcelain plate, and King Jiuli rolled his eyes.

Qi Kanghu bragged that he wanted to show off Duan Shubai, but in the end the bamboo basket was empty, he failed to show off, but was retaliated.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Duan Shubai. There are thousands of well-trained soldiers under Duan Shubai, patrolling day and night, and the defense is tight, and the defense of Xinyang City is as solid as gold. We are only one or two hundred young men. His subordinates are not surprising." Guo Yi, the think tank next to Qi Kanghu, said in surprise.

Qi Kanghu raised his eyebrows, "You are building up the ambitions of others and destroying your own prestige."

"The master, that Duan Shubai marched for many years, and his soldiers have rich experience in fighting the enemy. If we confront them head-on, we will definitely not get good results , but—even if the soldiers under him are brave, there are only a thousand people, and they can defend Xinyang City as solid as gold, but what about Yangcheng? There are also large and small villages near Yangcheng? So many places, he can one by one Come here defensively?"

"It's just some unarmed, cowardly villagers who were scared out of their wits when they saw a knife. We sent a group of people to harass the surrounding villages. We smashed this house today and robbed that house tomorrow. We succeeded. Let's run away immediately, determined to make Duan Shubai's subordinates nowhere to be found, ha, isn't that Duan Shubai going to be their patron saint? Let him have a headache and anxiety like an ant on a hot pot, in a dilemma."

"Duan Shubai was in a hurry and sent troops to catch us. We stick to the natural danger, so he won't be able to get in. But our brothers are familiar with the terrain, and we go to harass his army every day, but he won't be able to catch us. He must be out of breath... The soldiers followed the army's spirit. Lax and exhausted, when the time comes, we will catch him all at once."

"Haha!!" Qi Kanghu laughed twice, his voice was loud: "Riding houses and looting houses is what we are best at, old Guo, you Good idea, I'll do as you want, I can't wait to see that pig-raising general jumping in a hurry."

Qi Kanghu turned his attention to King Jiuli and Cai Yecheng: "What do you two think?"

Of course Cai Yecheng echoed: "Brother Qi has the right idea, so naturally he listens to the elder brother, and the younger brother contributes to others."

Jiuli King Pan Yuan nodded slightly.

After the discussion was completed, Cai Yecheng and Qi Kanghu each took a few beauties in their arms and soaked in the gentle village. Ji Chengyu, who watched Cai Yecheng leave, frowned and said nothing. He clenched his fists and then loosened them. , old business? Wouldn't that be a disaster for the village? It is said that the people of Yangcheng suffer from disasters every year, and finally have a bumper harvest every year, and live a life full of food and clothing, but they want to destroy it, Ji Chengyu couldn't bear it.

That Duan Shubai, I heard that he was a rare and good official. He led people to build the city. At first, he distributed food and seeds. Handing out couplets, holding reunion banquets, and flying river lanterns, he heard from people who went to Xinyang City to inquire about the lively scene on the first day of the new year in Xinyang City, which he will never forget in his life.

"Brother Cheng Yu, do you know how lively the scene I saw in Xinyang City is? There are banquets all over the street, delicious food, and you can't finish it. Everyone's faces are full of smiles. They are so hospitable. Pulling me to eat from one place to another, I...almost, hehe, almost wanted to stay, alas, isn't that the day we were looking forward to when we were young?"

King Jiuli walked out of the room, the silver ornaments on his body rustled, and when he went out, he saw a group of thieves and bandits sitting around shouting and gambling, the dice were spinning in the bowl, the clinking of copper coins on a string, the smell of wine, and Some hugged women, rubbed their chests and touched their waists, scolded, cheered, and coquettishly... Such unsightly scenes filled their eyes.

The oppressed slaves of the mountain people waited tremblingly by the side.

Pan Yuan lived in the deep mountains for a long time, and when the clansmen gathered in the mountains, they just lit a bonfire and held hands to sing and dance. Although he was the king of Jiuli, he was deeply respected by his clansmen, but he lived in seclusion and ate and slept with his clansmen. He treats everyone equally, and this is the first time he has seen such a scene as he has never seen the world.

Pan Yuan couldn't accept it. He felt that it was a mistake for him to form an alliance with Qi Kanghu and others.

He declined the company of the beauty, and went back to the room where he was temporarily resting. Pan Hai, a clan member, came in and whispered to him: "Patriarch, this place is too smoky, and Pan Hai can't stand it."

Pan Yuan deeply agreed.

Pan Hai continued: "However, we came here without gaining anything. I heard from the people here that Duan Shubai loves the people like a son. He is a rare and good official, and he has many high-yielding crops under his hands. Thanks to the seeds and the method of building terraced fields on the mountain, Xinyang City has a good harvest and no worries about food and clothing."

"If we can learn these, people in our clan can have enough food..."

" Rather than cooperating with Qi Kanghu, we might as well..."

"That Duan Shubai is an outsider after all." Pan Yuan lowered his brows, "Let's take a look." In

the past few years, their Jiuli clan has no official control. Free and easy, if it belongs to Duan Shubai, I really don't want to be reconciled.

The next day, Qi Kanghu sent dozens of people to the villages near Yangcheng to loot their homes.

Li Hai was a small leader of this group, and he took more than 20 people to Shangxi Village.

"Isn't it just a dilapidated village? We don't need twenty people. Ten of us can scare the villagers out of their courage. How dare they resist us."

Li Hai and the others are used to these things, and the villages under them Well, when the villagers saw them, they were all as timid as a mouse. Isn't that just oppressing the villagers?

"That's right, Brother Hai, look at us turning them upside down."

"When the time comes, you will grab things, Xiao Liu, take the oil, and set the fire later."

Li Hai and his party arrived at Shangxi Village. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they showed their knives and sticks carelessly, with the four characters "I am a bandit" written on their faces brightly, and rushed into the village aggressively.

The passing rooster screamed a few times in fright.

"Hahahaha."

The old man Lin at the entrance of the village sat on a wooden bench and peeled corn kernels. Seeing the unkind group of people coming, he hurriedly shouted: "There are thieves and bandits coming, the robbers are coming!!!"

Old man Lin's voice The sound resounded in Shangxi Village, and many villagers came out of their houses.

Sun Qi, a thin and tall bandit in the lead, brandished the knife in his hand, and shouted arrogantly: "If you don't want to die, just honestly hand over the valuables at home—" Before

he could finish his sentence, he saw Lin The old man picked up the iron hoe on the ground, and covered it with one hoe, "Hit the robbers! Catch them!"

The villagers who came out heard the cry, and woke up like a dream. Those with sticks took sticks, and those with machetes and sickles Take a knife, "Kill them!"

"Kill the robber!"

With the first leader, countless villagers followed.

Their Upper West Village was robbed by bandits only last year, and General Duan gave them a slap in the face. They hated and resented the bandits deeply. After storytelling became popular in Xinyang City, they loved to hear that General Duan had just arrived and led them. The exciting plot of twenty manpower fighting bandits, and the deeds of Liang Lei Su Gang and others to suppress bandits, not to mention that Tingting girl, a girl's family, beheaded several bandits, what else do they have to be afraid of! ! !

There is General Duan standing behind them, and they also want to kill the enemy and eliminate the bandits.

After finally living a life full of food and clothing, they will never be bullied by that gang of robbers, and they must guard their own territory. No wonder what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, under the influence of Duan Shubai, the nearby villagers can't help but become more civilized, aren't they just a few dregs who wield knives and commit murder? The whole village went together, and they couldn't beat him to death!

When Duan Shubai's soldiers came to patrol, they also taught them a few self-defense techniques, and they, a group of old people, also learned it with great enthusiasm.

"Have someone notify General Duan, let's catch these villains first!!!"

"

Come on!!!" "The soldier from the end of the village is coming on a bicycle, let's go first!!!!"

"Kill Bandits!!!"

Looking at the group of people rushing towards Wu Ma Ma, Li Hai froze: "????"

How could these villagers do it?

Li Hai and his group were frightened. They were usually domineering, and these ordinary villagers would not resist. As a result, this group of young people, even old men and women, dared to attack with hoes.

"Oh." The knife in Sun Qi's hand was knocked out, and then a hoe hit his back, and blood flowed out.
