After selecting the young men, when the military leader passed by the female family members, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.
He pointed his riding crop at one of the village girls and shouted: "Come out."
There was a commotion among the surrounding villagers, but it was quickly stopped by the surrounding rebels. Then a rebel stepped forward and directly dragged the village girl out.
Although this village girl is simply dressed, she is beautiful and dignified, with a plump figure. Standing among the female relatives, she looks like she stands out from the crowd.
hey-hey!
The military leader chuckled with a lewd look on his face. He got off his horse and was about to walk towards the village girl, but was stopped by a young rebel who advised him: "Boss, Mr. Du is ordered not to rob women. What are you doing?"
Do you want to disobey military orders?"
The leader of the army, Qi Lao, was furious and snorted: "Li Jing, please mind your own business. Did you see me robbing women? I'll take her home. I can't marry her to the matchmaker!"
Li Jing was about to argue again, but the village girl bit down on the back of the hand that was holding her rebel. The rebel screamed in pain and couldn't help but let go, and then the village girl ran wildly out of the village.
"Catch him, you thief, for me."
Qi Lao yelled loudly, and the two cavalrymen on the left and right quickly turned their horses and wanted to chase the village girl.
At this time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were lurking at the entrance of the village, looked at each other and rushed out, knocking the two cavalrymen away.
Then the two men infiltrated into the rebel army. Wherever they passed, people fell on their backs and screamed in agony.
"careful!"
Kou Zhong heard Li Jing yelling. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a cold arrow shooting towards him. Then the light of the sword flashed and a simple sword slashed down horizontally, cutting off the cold arrow.
Kou Zhong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. If Li Jing had not come to the rescue, he would have been seriously injured this time even if he had not died.
"Thank you very much, big brother." He thanked loudly.
Boss Qi was furious. He pointed at Li Jing and shouted: "Li Jing, are you going to rebel? You are actually helping these two enemies."
Li Jing smiled coldly, walked towards Boss Qi with the sword in hand, and said in a cold voice: "Boss Qi, if you do any unjust things, you will be punished. Looking at the friendship between the same people in the past, you can go on your own, don't force me.
I'll take action."
Boss Qi was shocked and angry, but seeing his subordinates lying on their backs, he had no power to fight back. If Li Jing, a highly skilled martial artist, was added to the group, he might really be in trouble here.
"Okay, okay! Li Jing, let's wait and see. Get out!"
Qi Lao shouted loudly, turned his horse's head and left quickly. The other rebels also fled one after another. Kou Zhong did not pursue them. They walked up to Li Jing.
Kou Zhong cupped his fists and thanked: "I still don't know what to call this eldest brother? My younger brother Kou Zhong, this is my good brother Xu Ziling. I really want to thank you for saving my life just now, otherwise I am afraid I will be in trouble today."
Li Jing hurriedly returned the gift and said: "Hey, little brother, you are serious. You two are so righteous. How could I, Li Jing, see you injured and become such a cold-blooded and ruthless person? Speaking of which, it was the appearance of these two little brothers that made me determined to leave.
Du Fuwei Jianghuai Army."
Xu Ziling said: "No matter how you say it, we all want to thank Brother Li for saving his life. We believe that Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army is only in name only. It arrests strong men indiscriminately and ruins military discipline. It is destined to be difficult to become a great weapon in the future. Brother Li, it would be good for you to leave as soon as possible."
."
Li Jing looked at the two of them with surprise and said: "You two little brothers have good eyesight. I came to join Du Fuwei because of his reputation. I thought I could make a big difference, but I found that the military discipline of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army was corrupt. In fact,
It was because it was difficult to achieve great results that I started thinking about leaving again."
Kou Zhong chuckled. He was just about to take out Li Yizhi and let him dry in the sun. At this time, the villagers gathered around him to express their gratitude. Even the village girl who had escaped earlier came back.
"Famous girl Susu, thank you three heroes for your help. I am very grateful."
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they finally entered the village and arrived at the village chief's home under the warm invitation of the village chief. The villagers took out their best things to entertain the three of them.
Not long after, a large table of sumptuous dishes was served.
The village chief was an old man in his fifties. He picked up a glass of turbid wine and said: "Thank you to the three heroes for their help, otherwise our village would really be doomed. I respect you first."
After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp, and Kou and Zhong raised their glasses one after another.
Xu Ziling put down his wine glass and said worriedly: "Village Chief, although we saved you this time, I'm afraid those rebels won't let it go. What are your plans in the future?"
Hearing this, the village chief looked sad and sighed: "What else can we do? The world is in chaos now, and there are wars everywhere. Even if we can abandon our ancestral heritage of hundreds of years, where can we go?"
Kou Zhong ate his food and said relaxedly: "This is not easy, go to Jiangdu County. Now Jiangdu is recruiting a large number of refugees and reclaiming wasteland. As long as you can reclaim it, the land belongs to you. It is tax-free for the first three years, and then
Only 30% is harvested every year.”
When the village chief heard this, his heart pounded and he said, "Do you really mean what the two young heroes said?"
Xu Ziling said: "Village Chief, this is all true. We just came from Yangzhou, so we won't lie to you. Anyway, this place is close to Yangzhou. I think you should go there as soon as possible."
"Then I will not accompany you all now. I will inform other villagers to pack up and leave immediately."
The village chief nodded repeatedly, stood up, said something and left quickly.
Kou Zhong looked at Su Su and asked, "By the way, Sister Su Su, I don't think you are from this village. They are going to Yangzhou. What are your plans next?"
Su Su looked at the three of them and was silent for a long time before saying: "I am the maidservant of the daughter of the leader of Wagang Village. I was originally with my young lady. Later, the team was attacked and we got separated. We came here
This is Pujia Village. My young lady is very good at martial arts. I think she should go back to Xingyang now, so naturally I want to go back to Xingyang."
Li Jing put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "If Miss Li believes what Li said, just leave the Zhai family and don't go back to Xingyang, lest the boat capsize and people die in the future."
Su Su was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Brother Li, what do you mean by this? Are my young lady and master in danger?"
"That's natural. In this Wagang village, most of the army is controlled by Li Mi, and he is also the most capable of fighting. If the leader is weak and the ministers are strong, sooner or later there will be a fight. Sister Su Su, you heard what Brother Li said is right, Xingyang
You'd better not go back." Kou Zhong explained casually.
Su Su was stunned and said sadly: "I have been sold into the Zhai family since I was a child. The young lady loves me like a sister. How could I abandon her like this!"
Kou Zhong thought for a while and finally said: "Sister Susu, if you have to go to Xingyang, you'd better find someone to send you off. There are wars everywhere in the world now. You are a weak woman and you can't come back to Xingyang. It's a pity for us.
Now I have been ordered by Boss Li to go to Danyang, otherwise we can send you there."
"I wonder who Brother Kou calls Boss Li, who can actually make the two of you willing to work for him?"
Li Jing asked curiously. In his eyes, Koo Zhong is definitely one of the best young talents in the world today. He not only exposed Du Fuwei's famous flaws, but also exposed the fatal hidden dangers of Wagang Village.
You must know that even he came to the conclusion after studying for a long time.
And for such a young talent, when he mentioned 'Boss Li', his face was full of admiration, which really made him curious.
