25. Rejoice Maitreya, compete for patience
At this time, at the foot of Panshan Mountain, there was a hidden dark forest.
The moonlight fell, the forest shadows were gloomy, the bonfire burned, the red flames swayed, and occasionally made a sound like exploding beans.
Several dark figures were sitting around the campfire, and outside were more than thirty people patrolling, as well as hundreds of tents that looked like earthbags.
These people were all dressed in coarse cloth, equipped with long knives, had ferocious faces, and a fierce light in their eyes. They were not good people at first glance.
This is a stronghold of Panshan bandits.
Suddenly, the sound of fluttering wings sounded in the sky not far away.
Beside the campfire, a one-eyed man suddenly raised his head and raised his hand.
A homing pigeon flew from a distance, opened its claws, and landed on the back of his hand.
The one-eyed man untied the letter paper wrapped around the homing pigeon's paw, read it, passed the note out, and showed it to several people around him. Then he quickly stood up, grabbed the note and walked into the darkness not far away.
A luxury tent ran away.
This one-eyed man is none other than the second-in-command of Panshan Kouli: "One-eyed Bear" Chen Sangang.
The adults living in the luxurious tents had just arrived in early autumn.
This lady is a voluptuous, plump woman with a trembling body, like a thousand-layer meat blanket. She is 1.8 meters tall and weighs nearly 400 kilograms. She is often accompanied by seven handsome young men.
After this adult arrived, he helped the Panshan Bandits develop rapidly, selected ferocious refugees, and absorbed the bandits, causing the Panshan Bandits to grow rapidly at a terrifying speed. In just two months, the number of the Panshan Bandits increased from a few hundred at the beginning.
The number of people has grown to more than 4,000 now, and the growth rate has not stopped yet.
In addition, this lady's strength is also very unfathomable. Although she has never taken action personally, the previous joint siege by the three counties was defeated by her young men.
With just one punch, Sima Lei, the county lieutenant of Taohua County, vomited blood and flew out. It is said that he died of his injuries.
The Panshan bandits were afraid of Sima Lei, and because Sima Lei was in Taohua County, they did not dare to cause trouble nearby.
But now, Sima Lei, who they feared, was killed at will by a young man under the master.
This gap made the second master deeply in awe.
He didn't dare to ask the fat woman's purpose, he just followed orders.
The fat woman did not conceal her identity and directly claimed that she was called "Happy Maitreya", while the seven handsome young men were called "boys".
Maitreya is the Maitreya Buddha in Buddhism. He has a big belly and can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world. He always smiles and laughs at the ridiculous people in the world.
This fat woman is called Happy Maitreya, but she doesn't have any spirit of Maitreya. It just means that she is fat and very capable.
Originally, such a title would definitely offend Buddhism, but... when the previous dynasty collapsed, Buddhism also died.
The second master didn't know who Huanxi Maitreya was, why he came here, and what his purpose was, and he didn't even dare to ask.
Although he has a lot of lives on his hands and is running rampant in the county mountains at the edge of Tianyi Mansion, he still doesn't understand the situation outside.
At this time, the second master came to the luxurious camp holding the letter.
The luxury tents are completely different from those rustic tents. At first glance, they look extraordinary, as if they should not appear in such a remote and harsh place. However, if you look closely, you can only see the luxury in them, and you cannot learn from these luxuries.
Find out what the path is.
The one-eyed man handed the letter forward respectfully and said: "Sir, the spy in Taohua County has given the news that someone wants to buy Baihua wine, and they have made an appointment to meet at Qinggong Bridge by Xiaoxing Lake in Haishi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man opened the curtain and reached out to grab the letter.
Flattery voices came from the tent.
"Sister Maitreya is indeed a clever strategist. The spy from Taohua County has indeed sent us news."
"This is not a warrior who has developed true energy. He doesn't need Baihua Wine... As a result, there will be one less hidden master in Taohua County."
"If Sister Maitreya hadn't been able to take action herself, why would it have been so troublesome?"
"This is why Sister Maitreya is worried about me. She is afraid that something bad will happen to me when I follow the bandits into the county to loot."
"Sister Maitreya, this is for the sake of the overall situation, not worried about you."
The voices of the handsome young men are also charming.
But obviously, the wine seller in the wine shop was actually an insider who colluded with the Panshan Bandits.
However, he is also one of many internal agents.
The purpose is, firstly, to provide assistance in the looting of Taohua County, and secondly, to eliminate the masters in the county in advance.
After all... the only ones who can spend money to buy a hundred kilograms of Baihua wine at this time are masters who have mastered Qi.
Such masters will bring variables, so they need to be eradicated in advance.
At this moment, the fat woman sitting in the middle, like a mountain of meat, slowly spoke.
When he opened his mouth, his voice sounded so sweet.
"Fuhu, what do you think?"
When her voice fell, the only man among the seven boys who stood quietly beside the fat woman said in a deep voice, "Sister Maitreya, you can send two boys and a dozen people to take a look.
If it’s a young man, then he’ll be captured alive by my sister, if it’s a woman or an old man, he’ll be killed directly.”
"Okay, it's up to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other six children started fighting, everyone wanted to go.
No matter how high the masters in this remote mountainous area are, they can't get anywhere near that level. Sima Lei was blown up to the sky by the bandit leader before, but he was still killed instantly by them.
This is a standard opportunity to please Maitreya.
And if Huanxi Maitreya really likes you, he will make a "home" with you, and most of this home will be an expensive manor.
The six boys knew that three boys had already settled in a "home" outside. Not only did they settle down, but they also became quite famous figures in the local world.
And whenever Maitreya values you, he will give you a name, and then after a period of time, he will help you settle down.
At this time, the "Fuhu" who came with them was such a person.
The other children in the Six Pavilions were extremely envious. Naturally, they all wanted this "family" and wanted to be a big shot in the eyes of others, so they fought fiercely.
Huanxi Maitreya casually nodded to the two of them and said, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, let me give you a chance."
The two handsome young men who were clicked looked happy, knelt down on the ground, and licked the fat woman's feet flatteringly.
The fat woman was tickled by their licks, and she burst out laughing.
He rolled his feet and stepped on their heads for a while before saying, "Go ahead."
Of course she wasn't worried either.
In a small place in a mountain village, no matter how hard you practice, what can you do?
...
...
Zhiqua~zhiqua~
The wheel hub squeaked.
A man was pushing a cart on a relatively flat dirt road. There were ten jars of Baihua wine on the cart, each jar weighing ten kilograms.
With a cautious look in his eyes, the man carefully pushed the cart and soon arrived at the Qinggong Bridge.
This area is really well chosen. Apart from the dilapidated Bluestone Bridge and Xiaoxing Lake, the view is wide and even the woods are far away, making it impossible to hide people.
Under the moonlight, everything was very clear.
The man pushing the cart was naturally the wine seller who had an appointment with Haishi.
When he arrived, he saw that the other party hadn't come yet, so he looked around as if he was waiting for someone.
Baishan has actually arrived a long time ago.
He spent his energy on the road and naturally arrived much earlier. At this time, he had already adjusted his breathing and recovered in the forest quite far away.
On the way, he looked carefully and did not find the man pushing the cart. He probably had a hidden wine cellar outside and then took another route.
Originally at the Song family, Sister Miaomiao asked him and others to show up before going out, and they left immediately after making the deal.
But he didn't think so. He wanted to wait a little longer. After the wine seller got impatient and left, he would follow him.
Wait until you understand what the wine seller really thinks before trading.
With his current superb body skills, even if he hides in the tree, he will not make any movement, and the "Overall Enhancement 2" allows him to have a physical quality that is twice that of ordinary people.
The sight of these eyes is naturally broadened, and the hearing of the ears is naturally enhanced.
Time passes minute by minute.
The moon is gradually moving away, but it is extremely quiet beside the Qinggong Bridge.
"Why doesn't this person come?"
"How long has it been?"
The wine seller was a little anxious. He paced back and forth, muttering to himself: "Damn it, the only practitioners in Taohua County are from a few families or from martial arts schools. They just come out of nowhere."
What kind of master?"
"Forget it, never mind, those bandits should be nearby. As soon as this master comes out, the masters among the bandits will kill him and throw his body into the river.
Don't blame me, I can't do anything, and the eldest lady can't do anything either. It's only a matter of time before Taohua County is destroyed, and the old people of the Lu family are too ruthless. How can the madam regain her power if she doesn't contact foreign aid?
Even if these bandits plunder the county, the unfortunate thing is those mud-legged people and those damn old people from the Lu family, the eldest lady will still be forced to do nothing."
After all, this was his first time colluding with a bandit. The wine seller also had many thoughts and was very messy.
He knew that the master of the bandits was hiding under the bridge. As long as that person appeared, the bandits would rush out from under the bridge and hack the person to death.
About half an hour passed.
The wine seller was completely confused.
No one has come yet!
Has he been tricked?
Normally, if he was fooled, he would just curse a few words, but now...the bandits are still hiding under the bridge.
What to do?
The wine seller was sweating coldly.
After a while, the bandits under the bridge couldn't stand it any longer, and they all came out with a splash.
Walking in front were more than a dozen vicious bandits, who directly surrounded the wine seller.
Two handsome young men in gorgeous clothes stood behind them with disdain and gloomy expressions, holding swords.
The one who rushed forward was a robber with a scar on his cheek. He stepped forward and pushed the liquor man on the shoulder.
The wine seller couldn't withstand the push. He stumbled back and fell heavily to the muddy ground.
Scar Bandit chuckled and said, "How dare you trick us??"
The wine seller didn't dare to get up, and hurriedly knelt down in the mud, begging for mercy: "Uncle, uncle, even if I have the courage, I don't dare to deceive the elders. That man has indeed made an appointment here."
She arrived on time and said that her master would come to do the transaction in person."
"Master, hey hey hey, what kind of bullshit master..." The scarred bandit kicked him again, and then pulled out his long knife, "You still won't tell me the truth? Otherwise I'll chop off one of your hands!"
This long knife was obtained after defeating the "Three Counties Alliance" before. The scar bandit has long wanted to draw blood.
"Uncle, uncle, I really made an appointment with that person. I really didn't lie to you." The wine seller didn't know why the person didn't come after making an appointment. He was begging hard at this time.
The Scar Bandit casually slashed.
Click!
The left hand of the liquor seller was instantly broken, and blood was flowing out. His whole body shivered in pain, but he did not dare to cry loudly.
The Scar Bandit looked at Daomian'er and said happily: "Hey, this is a good knife, brothers, it's a good knife, haha."
In the distance, Bai Shan watched this scene quietly. Although his vision was a little blurry due to the distance, he could still see clearly.
Is the liquor seller in the county colluding with the bandits?
This was something he didn't expect.
It seems that Taohua County is getting more and more dangerous, but I can't leave.
What to do?
After thinking for a moment, he came up with an idea.
wait.
As long as those robbers have some brains, they should know that the liquor seller is not lying. He only needs to wait until the two parties part ways, then follow the liquor seller to get all the Baihua wine, then grab him and throw him to the Taohua County government office.
Ask the man to tell the whole story about "all the collusion with the bandits".
As for how to deal with these bandits, let the magistrate have a headache.
After seeing the situation clearly and cultivating all the power he can to perfection, he can then look for an opportunity to see if he can kill a thousand bandits.
Chapter completed!
