"Really?" Wang Sun, who should be called Sun Xiaocao now, had a look of doubt on his face.
"Of course it's true." Liu Mang searched desperately in his mind for elementary school essays he had written in his previous life.
Then he said slowly, "The grass is the most tenacious thing in the world.
No matter it is exposed to wind and rain, exposed to the scorching sun, or trampled by everyone.
She has always lived tenaciously, never giving up and never complaining."
Then Liu Mang recited Bai Juyi's familiar poem: "The wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow it again."
Sun Xiaocao looked at Liu Mang's serious expression and felt extremely moved in his heart.
"The wildfire never burns out, but the spring breeze blows it again." She chanted softly.
Her father is a well-known scholar in eight villages in ten miles and eighty miles. She has also studied literature and calligraphy, so she can naturally understand the meaning of this simple poem.
'It turns out that he really thinks the name Xiaocao is nice, and not just to comfort me.' Sun Xiaocao thought happily.
Seeing Sun Xiaocao's moved expression and looking at her moving face, Liu Mang's heart moved and he gradually moved closer to her.
Sun Xiaocao seemed to realize what was about to happen. His two small hands nervously grasped the hem of his skirt, and his two big black eyes kept blinking.
Liu Mang's face came closer and closer, and Sun Xiaocao gradually closed his eyes. Only his beautiful long eyelashes were trembling.
Both parties can even feel each other's hot breath.
Getting closer, getting closer...
At this critical moment, a panicked shout suddenly came from not far away:
"Gang Leader, Gang Leader, something bad is going to happen!"
Hearing this man's shout, Sun Xiaocao immediately opened his eyes, shyly pushed Liu Mang with his little hand, and then ran to the house behind him without looking back.

grass!
Why were you interrupted at this time?
Liu Mang was furious, but when he saw the anxious looks on the faces of the people approaching him, he realized that something big had happened.
"What's wrong?" Liu Mang asked in a deep voice.
"Our boat went to Taicheng to escort people, but it was robbed by the Taiyun Bandits who suddenly appeared!"
"What?" Liu Mang was taken aback, and then said, "Gather the hall masters from each hall to hold flags and come to Baishui Hall to meet together!"
…
In the largest main hall of Baishui Hall.
Liu Mang sat at the head of the table facing the door of the room.
On both sides of the long table at the bottom.
Sitting on the left are the elders of the Golden Tiger Gang, namely: Niu Cong, the leader of the Feishe Hall, Shi Donglai, the leader of the Feishe Hall, Yuan Fuwan, the leader of the Sanhe Hall, Wang Huiyu, the leader of the Sanhe Hall, and Wang Yukai, the leader of the Red Earth Hall.
On the right side sit the confidants promoted by Liu Mang, namely: Ban Yang, the leader of the Black Water Hall, Tang Yuanliang, the flag bearer of the Black Water Hall, Cai Binwen, the leader of the Zifeng Hall, Tong Weiyong, the flag bearer of the Zifeng Hall, and Lin Hanlin, the flag bearer of the White Water Hall.
All I heard was Liu Mang say: "A B-shaped ship led by Wang Zhigang is transporting medicinal materials from the Liu family in the inner city, worth fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Money is a small thing, we can afford it. The key point is that I, a good man from the Golden Tiger Gang, was kidnapped by the damn Taiyun Bandits. His life and death are unknown. He must be rescued."
There were estimated to be ten members of the Golden Tiger Gang who were robbed, led by Wang Zhigang.
If nothing is done, not only will many experienced and contributing members of the gang be lost, but it will also chill the hearts of everyone in the Golden Tiger Gang.
If people's hearts are lost, then this gang is not far from destruction.
"I want to go to Taicheng alone to explore, so you can arrange two boats to wait for me on the river..."
"Gang leader, no!"
Before Liu Mang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Niu Cong, who said: "Gang leader, you have great martial arts skills. It is really convenient for you to move alone, but having more people will drag you down.
But there are many bandit masters in Taiyun Mountain, so what if we are accidentally surrounded and make a mistake?"
Niu Cong said: "Although our martial arts are not high, we can still set fire to kill horses to attract the attention of the bandits. I can try to reduce some pressure for you, the gang leader."
After hearing this, Liu Mang nodded and said: "The old opinion of Hall Master Niu is that he doesn't know which branch of the Taiyun Mountains the gangsters who robbed our gang belong to?"
Mountain bandits on Shanyun Shiba Road are famous all over the world, but the level of bandits on different roads varies greatly.
For example, the leader of Qiulongzhai, who successively killed Shuiximen Sect Master and Feitian Sect Sect Master, is a fifth-level master whose strength ranks high even among the 18th Route Bandits.
As for Silver Fox, the leader of Blackbeard, his martial arts belongs to the second level of the fifth level recognized by Liu Mang, which is a bit worse in comparison.
Niu Cong said: "According to the description of the brothers who escaped, there is a black ax on the flag of the bandits on this road, which should belong to the bandits who opened the village."
"Gang Leader Han once said before that among the bandits of Taiyun's Eighteenth Route, the most terrifying ones are Motian Village, Black Wind Village, Prison Dragon Village, and White Bone Village.
Although those who open a cottage are not the most terrifying type, none of the 18th Route Bandits are easy to deal with, Gang Leader Liu, please be careful." Niu Cong said.
After everyone in the Golden Tiger Gang finished their discussion, they quickly took action.
An hour later, three B-shaped boats set off from Pier 2 and rushed towards Taicheng.
Liu Mang stood at the bow of the boat, with a strong murderous intention in his heart.
They robbed his people and ruined his good deeds. He must settle the score with these gangsters!
He looked at his attribute column:
Name: Liu Mang]
Lifespan:17/81]
Realm: Beyond Bone Forging]
Kung Fu: Fifth level of Chizhu Gong/, Tiger Fist Transformation into Butterfly/, Sky Eagle Sword Technique Breaking Limit 1220/4000, Shadowless Leg Breaking Limit 820/3000, Crazy Dragon Fist Master 400/500, Killing Dragon Step...
】
Energy: 2880】
There is a gap of more than 3,000 energy before being promoted to the second level of bone forging, which is the fifth level of cultivation.
I thought it would take more than a month, but now it seems that this time can be shortened a lot.
…
The outer city of Tai City, a manor in the east.
At this time, noisy shouts, crazy laughter, miserable screams, and angry curses kept coming from the garden. The whole manor was like a hell on earth.
The head of Fu Yuanwai, the original owner of the manor, was cut off and placed on a pole erected at the gate, with his eyes wide open.
Everyone outside Fu Yuan was hacked to death at home, except for a few beautiful female Juan, but their fate was much more miserable.
In the innermost part of the manor, hundreds of gangsters running a cottage, dressed in black and holding axes, tightly surrounded an open space in the middle.
And in this open space, there are two men wearing different clothes, engaged in a life-and-death fight!
A young man in blue brocade clothes, about twenty years old, wearing a white jade crown on his head, holding a long sword in his left hand, kept swinging towards the opposite side, but his movements seemed a bit unfamiliar.
Because his right arm was abnormally bent and twisted, he had to use his left arm to fight.
The man opposite him was about forty years old, wearing gray clothes common to servants, holding a plain knife, his body looked relatively complete, and he was concentrating on fighting the young man opposite him.
Both of them had several wounds on their bodies, and their clothes were stained red in large areas with blood.
"Kill him quickly, kill your master!"
"Young pretty boy, kill this offending servant quickly!"
"The master and the servants are killing each other, but the second master's idea is strong enough!"
At the front of a group of gangsters, surrounded by stars like a moon, was a majestic and ferocious man who was six feet seven inches tall, with a body full of flesh and a chest covered with black hair.
He laughed ferociously: "You trash, are you a slave who is addicted?
For the sake of fairness, I specially discounted your master's right arm, so that it would appear that we are evenly matched and not one-sided."
"There are still thirty breaths left! If you still can't decide whether to live or die, both of you will die!"
