"Yan, Vice Captain Yan, why are we going into the mountains? Didn't we just come to recruit people today?" A less courageous person asked.

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I looked at him with a smile."

"Don't worry, I'll just take you into the mountain to survey the terrain first, and then make some arrangements. You won't have direct contact with the bandits, so you don't have to be afraid."

Seeing that Xiaoliu saw through his thoughts, the man was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head guiltily, and the rest of the people were also looking at him with teasing eyes.

Seeing so many people staring at him, this person couldn't stand it in an instant, and his self-esteem burst out and said with shame.

"Who said I was afraid? I was afraid that those bandits would not be enough to kill me!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter when they heard his words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost adjusted, Xiao Liu quickly spoke and stopped.

"Okay, okay, whether you are afraid of bandits or worried that these bandits are not enough for you to kill, these are not important."

"The important thing is that you must remember that you are now constables, and have the responsibility of keeping peace and protecting the people. From now on, you must be cautious in your every word and deed. Everyone can panic or be afraid, but we cannot, because we are constables!"

Xiao Liu's words were deafening, and a heat surged in everyone's hearts.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Seeing everyone's refreshing appearance, Xiao Liu nodded with satisfaction. Only then did he look like he was fighting a bandit, but he still said sternly.

"Okay, since everyone understands it, I'm also ugly. On weekdays, everyone is older than me, and Xiaoliu calls everyone a big brother. But when it comes to fighting the bandits, I am your boss. If anyone dares to escape at the fortress, don't blame the ruthless sword in Xiaoliu's hand."

As he said that, a sword flashed, and a big tree as thick as thigh was cut into pieces by Xiao Liuyi's knife. The big tree two or three meters high fell down with a bang.

There was a loud "boom" sound, and everyone was shocked.

They didn't expect that Xiao Liu had such a skill. They had already tried the knife when they got it today.

I know that although the official sword in my hand is sharp, it is almost impossible to cut such a big tree in half with just one knife.

What shocked the most was the woodcutter from Beikou Village.

Judging from his years of experience in cutting trees, even if this big tree is cut with an extremely sharp axe, it will take at least a dozen times to cut it off.

But Captain Yan now cut him off with one knife. He was simply a god!

Xiao Liu looked at the frightened eyes of everyone and smiled. "Okay, everyone, let's go."

"Yes!" After Xiao Liu's words and Xiao Liu's move, everyone undoubtedly discussed it. Perhaps in their opinion, with Xiao Liu here, this group of small bandits was not worth worrying at all.

...

Just as Xiao Liu and his men headed towards the mountains, a group of bandits were also walking out of Cuiwei Mountain.

"Brother Zhao, isn't it good for us to do this? Brother Xie has been warning us to never walk out of Cuiwei Mountain."

A bandit minion looked at the little leader in front of him and asked with some concern.

The leader, Brother Zhao, shook his head and said with dissatisfaction when he heard his subordinates ask.

"Oh, Brother Xie is good at everything, but he is too timid. He hid in the mountains every day and had no salty smell when eating. The brothers' mouths faded out of their mouths."

"Yes, what's the matter with those eagles? It's not that you're going to take a knife. It's okay if you robbed so much money and didn't let us go and be free, but you even let us hide in this deep mountains and forests. If I had known this, I wouldn't have chosen him as the military advisor."

A tall man on the side also agreed, obviously he had had enough of this kind of life hiding in the deep mountains and forests.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was cut off by the leader just now.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you let the boss know about this, you must peel your skin. Brother Xie will save the boss's life."

It can be heard that although the leader has any objections to Brother Xie’s approach, he still respects him very much.

"." Hearing the leader scolding him, the tall man was a little angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Most of the others looked a little depressed, and the tall men seemed to express their thoughts.

Seeing that most of his subordinates were dull, Brother Zhao patted their shoulders and said to everyone.

"Okay, I know what everyone is thinking. Let me tell you the truth. I took everyone out this time to be ordered by the boss. The boss has long since no longer wanted to hide in the deep mountains."

"Really?" The bandits were overjoyed when they heard this.

"Of course it's true. This time the boss asked us to come out to explore the information and get something back. It's best if you can get two women back!" The leader of the bandit said with a lewd smile.

When talking about women, the bandits also showed a hint of lewd smile on their faces. They hadn't touched women for a long time. There were only a group of big men in the mountains, and at most they were just to each other...

"Boss, stop talking, let's act quickly, right?" The minion who had persuaded them just now also urged with excitement.

The little leader looked around and found that everyone was a little impatient now. He also hurriedly led everyone out with a smile.

Everyone with motivation was so diligent that they walked, crossing mountains and ridges, as agile as a monkey.

———————————————————————————

Cuiwei Mountain is a hundred miles long and has a connection with all three counties. Its long foothills are naturally the main way for merchants to go through.

At this time, several carriages were driving calmly on the official road, and it seemed that this posture was transporting a lot of goods.

However, it may be that the road was too peaceful in the past, so the convoy did not have many accompanying guards, only a few drivers who drove the car.

In a leading carriage, two young women were sitting cross-legged.

One of them was happily planning with the abacus. She had transported a total of ten authentic apricot wine this time, and she was thinking about how much it would be appropriate to set the price.

However, the maid beside her would lift up the curtains from time to time and look outside worriedly.

"Miss, wouldn't it be safe for you to say that we would be dismissed all the guards like this?"

Although the maid was a little worried, her lady continued to fiddle with the abacus without any worries and said.

"Don't worry, Cui, we have walked this road more than ten times. The security is very good, so you don't have to worry at all. Besides, those guards are expensive and you will save ten taels less than this journey."

After hearing this, Xiao Cui thought about it carefully and nodded with peace of mind.

Indeed, the public security of this Qixia Town is much better than that outside. Not to mention bandits, there are not even many thieves. It is precisely because of this that they plan to settle down in this Qixia Town.

But at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped urgently, and the two of them shaking suddenly. Before they could ask what was going on, they heard a rough voice shouting.
