Deep in Luofu Mountain, the bandits on the outskirts have been almost wiped out by various forces that have come together to suppress the bandits.
Tong Song took several hundred of his servants and joined several forces to roam the depths of Luofu Mountain for several days, looking for the largest bandit force in Luofu Mountain, which was Sima Lu's group.
After a few days, all the forces had achieved nothing, and the temporarily formed team of servants had obviously lost a lot of morale.
Even though the leaders of the various forces encouraged their respective teams, saying that as long as they persisted, Sima Lu's troops would definitely find traces. Let everyone think about the wealth that Sima Lu's troops had accumulated because they specialized in robbing wealthy households with a notorious reputation.
They have the most number of bandits in the entire Lingnan area.
No matter how much the leader encouraged them, the morale of the servants could not be raised, so it was of no use and everyone was tired.
This kind of trick may be useful when everyone doesn't have much loot, but now that everyone has gained a lot from the outside, who wants to risk their lives?
Tong Song was very worried about this!
As far as he knew, all forces were looking for Sima Lu's troops, among which the troops from Prince Qian's Mansion were the main force.
It's just that for the time being, he doesn't know which hilltop the soldiers and horses of Prince Qian's Mansion have moved to?
Another thing that worries him the most is that according to rumors, Sima Lu's bandits have 10,000 troops.
The total number of forces they combined was less than 5,000. This force could not compete with Sima Lu's troops. They just wanted to find the bandit's den and then follow Prince Qian's palace to take advantage.
"Young Master Tong, I think we are almost successful in suppressing the bandits this time. The legendary Sima Lu's troops are not something we can fight against with our small force. Don't steal the chicken but lose the rice and the gain will outweigh the loss."
Niu Yongcheng, the second son of Niu Debao, the commander-in-chief of Jieyang, Lingnan Province, looked up and saw green. This time, the team he led was the soldiers of his father's guard station.
It is not difficult to tell from his words that he also has the intention to retreat, leading the team in endless circles in the mountains. Everyone already has treasures in their pockets, and they no longer covet the wealth of Sima Lu, who is invisible and dangerous.
In fact, they would rather transport the captured treasures back and sort them out, and then live their own lives in style.
Tong Song was also very tired. He had grown up in fine clothing and good food, but he had never suffered like this before.
He turned to look at the other leaders and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
After hearing his question, the second young master of the Ma family shook his head and said: "There is a reason why Sima Lu's group has become the largest force in Luofu Mountain. For example, their ability to hide is unmatched by anyone. We have been working with them
If we are wasting time here, it is better to go back early to rest and recuperate, and try to go to other places to suppress bandits and make a fortune."
Niu Yongcheng laughed and said: "I believe that the banditry in Lingnan has been almost eliminated when I go back this time. I might not have the chance to come out to make a fortune next time."
Although they say this, if they want to make a fortune, they are still afraid of banditry. In fact, there is no such thing in Lingnan, so they can go to the neighboring state capital.
He believed that the state capital next door would welcome them with both hands to help suppress the bandits.
Tong Song felt relieved and confirmed for the last time: "You mean to go home right now, right?"
Niu Yongcheng nodded without thinking, "Take our current treasure and food and go back. It's been almost a month since we came out, and our whole body stinks and we are craving for women."
Tong Song turned to look at the representatives of the Ma and Chen family, Chen Shoulin, the concubine of the second wife, and the second young master of the Ma family.
Chen Shoulin nodded and agreed to go home.
Seeing them nodding, the second young master of the Ma family laughed heartily, "This life of a savage is really not for humans. I have had enough of this kind of life and have wanted to go back for a long time, but I have been insisting that I don't want to spoil your fun. This time
I have finally waited for you to agree, so what are you waiting for, brothers!"
As he said that, he stood up and shouted to the servants who were scattered behind him: "Brothers, get up and pack quickly. Once we pack, we will set off back to the city. With the treasures and food we captured, we can go back and hug the woman to sleep.
!”
When the team behind heard this, they became excited!
"Is it true, we can go back?"
"The harvest this time is good. It's better to go back early. If you share the reward, you can buy two acres of fertile land."
"You buy fertile land, but I'm waiting for the reward to go back and get a wife!"
——
"The officers and soldiers are coming, run!"
On another hilltop of Luofu Mountain, brothers Li Chengshang and Li Chengzhan attacked a bandit den together.
Seeing the officers and soldiers attacking fiercely, the bandits on the mountain were so frightened that they fled in all directions with their belongings.
As he ran, he kept shouting loudly: "Oh no, the officers and soldiers are coming to kill us. Everyone, run away!"
Li Chengshang looked at the fleeing bandits in embarrassment and said to Li Chengzhan: "Second brother, you take some people to the left to intercept, and I will take people to the right to outflank. We will try our best to intercept the fleeing bandits and minimize the loss of property.
This will also prevent them from wandering into the villages down the mountain and causing harm to the people!"
"Okay, just do as big brother says!"
After hearing what he said, Li Chengzhan waved his soldiers to rush to the left to intercept.
The officers and soldiers have a natural suppression on the bandits. Taking advantage of the chaos of the bandits, the officers and soldiers shouted to surrender and surrender without killing them!
The timid bandit simply knelt down and raised his hands, while the bandit who tried to escape would inevitably be killed if he was caught up by officers and soldiers.
In this way, even if a lot of people surrender, the pungent smell of blood will inevitably permeate the village.
Li Chengshang looked at the soldiers chasing the bandits in front of him with a relaxed expression. After confiscating the treasures and food on the mountain, their goal of coming out this time was achieved.
As for Sima Lu's troops that everyone wanted to destroy, he didn't dare to hope, because he had self-awareness and knew that he was no match for Sima Lu's troops.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat to the back mountain!" The bandit leader shouted as he watched the officers and soldiers clinging to the mountain and fled to the back mountain.
There is a river at the foot of the back mountain. As long as they escape to the foot of the back mountain, they can jump into the river to escape if they are in trouble.
"Brother, you take the brothers away first, I will chase you later." The second master hesitated for a while and said.
The bandit leader grabbed the second master who was about to leave and asked in an urgent voice: "Second brother, if you don't run away with me, where are you going?"
The second boss patted the bandit leader who grabbed his wrist, "Brother, we can't escape like this. Even if we barely escape, the brothers will probably be scattered. How can we make a comeback then?"
"Then tell me, brother, what are you going to do?" The bandit leader did not let go of his hand. He thought he wanted to surrender, but he was shocked.
"They have caused such harm to our village, brother, I have to give them a big gift, right?"
After that, the second master broke free from his shackles and hid against the flow of people. After a while, he disappeared.
Li Chengshang was followed by several guards. He found a tree, stood under the shade, and said to the guards next to him: "Go ahead and kill less people and capture more prisoners. The minerals in the mine are still waiting for the prisoners to dig."
.”
After returning this time, the pay for the three thousand soldiers was temporarily available. Li Chengshang decided to take advantage of this period of relaxation to find someone to explore around Lingnan to see where there were minerals, which could be mined by these prisoners.
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards spread out to convey his order.
"Uncle, we caught a beautiful girl here!" A soldier caught a young girl in a pink dress and came over.
The distance was too far, and Li Chengshang couldn't see clearly the girl's appearance for the time being.
When the others got closer, they saw clearly the woman's facial features, and they were indeed as beautiful as flowers.
The soldier said: "Uncle, this girl claims to be the daughter of the bandit leader. She said that as long as her subordinates let her go, she will reward her with a reward of one hundred taels. The tone of her voice should be that she is not short of money. If she is not short of money, it means that this cottage is
Very rich."
Li Chengshang felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded and said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Check around more to see if there are any missing secret rooms."
The soldier took the order and pushed the girl in his custody towards Li Chengshang, "Then I will go and check, and I will dedicate this girl to you."
The beautiful girl was pushed and staggered, and she fell into Li Chengshang's arms. Wen Xiang Nephrite threw herself into his arms, and he subconsciously tightened her waist.
The beautiful girl struggled, and for a while the old scholar Li Chengshang was unable to do anything to her.
When the soldiers saw that the girl was dishonest, they stepped forward to help suppress her. Not to mention the help of the soldiers, the girl resisted much less vigorously, which made Li Chengshang relieved.
But before he could relax, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and Li Chengshang's mind was instantly confused.
It could be said that he was completely blank. Due to the pain in his abdomen, he knew that he was being assassinated!
It's just that he couldn't believe that he would suffer such injustice. He had obviously made a great contribution, but he didn't have the opportunity to express his merit to his father in person.
The guards surrounding him didn't react at this time, thinking that the soldiers were helping to restrain the beautiful girl.
"Ahhh!"
Then the scream of a beautiful woman was heard, and it was agreed that he would pretend to be someone else and offer her to the prince to prevent her from being treated inhumanely after being captured.
How did it turn into murder in the blink of an eye?
If the prince's uncle is in trouble, she will have to pay for her life. Ugh! It seems that no matter whether the uncle is in trouble or not, she will definitely not end well anyway.
It wasn't until there was blood dripping on the ground that the guards discovered the situation. The soldiers who had just committed the attack were obviously the enemy pretending to be in order to get close to Li Chengshang so that they could kill him!
You have to hate someone so much that you would not hesitate to come back and take his life.
"uncle!"
"There's an assassin!"
The soldiers who were nearby no longer cared about killing the enemy and earning military merit, and ran over one after another. Soon the assassin was caught by the soldiers.
Li Chengshang covered his abdomen with both hands, but it was of no use. Blood still kept pouring out.
"The uncle has been stabbed. Military doctor, military doctor, call the military doctor over quickly!"
"Someone call the second master over, hurry up!"
The soldiers who gathered around were wary of their surroundings. Two of them rushed away, calling for military doctors and Li Chengzhan. It could be said that in an instant, the scene turned into a mess.
No one thought that the bandit would not escape but come back just to stab Li Chengshang and send him to the West. Do you think it is outrageous or not?
Li Chengshang's mind went blank for a moment. He had been out to suppress bandits for more than a month. He had thought of many reasons for the injury, but none of them were like this.
If he is stabbed to death by a fake person, even if he dies, he will definitely not be happy.
Li Chengzhan was also shocked when he heard the message from his soldiers!
This group of bandits is really capable, they just come over and kill them without even investigating.
You are truly brave and fearless!
When he arrived, Li Chengshang was already lying on a stretcher, and his consciousness was already a little blurry.
"Brother!"
After hearing the voice, Li Chengshang opened his slightly narrowed eyes and looked at Li Chengzhan. He pointed at the soldiers: "In the future, if I go, these soldiers will be handed over to you. You have to treat them well. I am grateful."
Not enough!"
Li Chengzhan found that the blood stain on his abdomen had expanded a bit, and he screamed in fright: "Brother, don't talk, it will cause the wound to bleed again. If you have anything to do, let's wait until the wound is healed before we talk about it, okay?"
Li Chengshang opened his mouth, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. From now on, I'll have to take care of you."
"Brother, don't say anything. You will make it through. With the good fortune and good fortune, you will be fine."
As he spoke, Li Chengzhan shouted to the military doctor behind him: "Military doctor, come over quickly and help me look at the wound. Why is it bleeding again?"
He never imagined that one day his eldest brother would fall into the hands of the mob and be stabbed twice. What should he do?
"Second Master, please get out of the way quickly and let me take care of the uncle's wound." The military doctor pushed Li Chengzhan and asked him to get out of the way. He quickly opened the box and removed the poisonous hemostatic items and medicines, and began to treat him dutifully.
Rebandage.
At the same time, he warned: "Uncle, you didn't hurt any vital parts. Just relax and wait until the wound heals, then you can chat with your friends and relatives."
After listening to the military doctor's words, Li Chengshang calmed down a little, and he no longer felt like he was helplessly watching his abdomen bleed but could do nothing.
Knowing that he would not die, he wanted to explain the details of his funeral but could not explain it clearly. This time, there was no follow-up.
Li Chengzhan doesn't have much ambition, so he doesn't care whether his eldest brother dies or whether he has an inheritance.
After calming the patient, Li Chengzhan followed the military doctor and left the room.
After going out and confirming that the patient could no longer hear what they were saying, Li Chengzhan asked the military doctor: "Military doctor, does it matter whether my brother's injury is serious or not? Tell me the truth!"
The military doctor put the medicine box on the ground and sighed, "It's a pity that the abdomen was injured, and even the peritoneum was injured. I don't know when the wound will heal. It's unknown whether it will be infected. We have to wait and see today."
We can only be sure if Mr. Wan has a fever or not."
In fact, what he didn't dare to say was that his abdomen had injured his internal organs and he didn't know how long it would take for him to recover. Even if he did, his health would not be as good as before.
"So serious?" Li Chengzhan was shocked.
The military doctor nodded, "My uncle was injured by bandits and his peritoneal membrane was injured. If this kind of wound is not treated well, it will easily worsen."
Li Chengzhan discussed some precautions with the military doctor, and then the two separated.
One went in to take care of the patient, and the other went to the next room to write a letter and sent a horse to deliver it to the Wangfu Yamen.
Looking at the loess thrown up by the rapid movement of horses on the road, he turned around and entered the room where the bandit leader was detained.
