The two bandit leaders in front were startled by the sudden shouts. Before they could recover, two figures suddenly appeared from behind the broken wall, and each of them kicked them to the ground.
The light flashed, and Li Xingchen stepped on the back of the bandit leader in front of him, and the short knife in his hand was placed straight on his neck.
The two followers who followed behind took two steps back in panic. Apparently, their commander was caught and they were completely thrown into disarray.
"Don't put down your weapons and surrender!" Li Xingchen shouted again.
"Hurry!" Perhaps feeling the coldness of the weapons and the approaching death, the two bandit leaders also shouted.
The two followers looked at the two guys who came out of nowhere in fear. Especially the ferocious look on Li Xingchen's face made them realize that this man probably had several lives in his hands.
These are most likely an ambush by Nanchen's army. No wonder they are chasing everyone behind, just to rush into the ambush.
There are two people lying in ambush behind this broken wall. Who knows how many people are around this deserted village. They will definitely not be able to escape with just the two of them.
With two "clang" sounds, the weapon fell to the ground. The two followers fought with each other and simply fell to their knees.
"Hurry, catch the thief!" Shouts rang out, and war horses galloped over. A young general who looked like he had come after a long journey rode his horse and rushed to the side of Li Xingchen, carefully looking at the two men who seemed to have come from under the ground.
People who emerge.
The sun had made the young general's face a little dark and red, and the dusty weather made him look ferocious and a little tired. However, it was obvious that the young general had a good family background and a good upbringing.
Li Xingchen and Li Qiuyi handed over:
"Thank you to the two righteous men for drawing your swords to help. I wonder if the two righteous men can hand over these two guys who are causing trouble to us?"
Li Xingchen hurriedly raised his hand and returned the salute: "I don't deserve to be called a general like that, but I dare to ask the general, these two guys are bandits? Why does the general, with so many troops, chase after a few bandits?"
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" A cavalryman nearby couldn't help scolding.
"It doesn't matter. These two righteous men draw their swords to help us and are kind to us. How can they be so cold to each other?" The young general was obviously very happy because he had completed the task. He glanced at the cavalry with a hint of reproach and turned around.
He came over and raised his hand to Li Xingchen again, "I'm sorry, I'd like you two righteous men not to be offended."
Seeing that the young general was quite easy to talk to, Li Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief. It was better than meeting an unreasonable one. The young general smiled and said: "These two guys are the two bandit leaders who are causing trouble for one party."
, and their subordinates are also bandits. We are chasing them hard just to eliminate the harm to the people here. The two righteous men can help, which can be regarded as a blessing to the people here. "
Unexpectedly, Li Xingchen directly pulled Li Qiu's sleeve and bowed deeply: "The common people have a request, and I hope that the young general will not hesitate to help."
The young general was startled for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, he looked at Li Xinchen and the two of them: "I see that you two are also dressed as people from the mountains. Logically speaking, you wouldn't be walking through this chaos. Could it be that you also encountered mountain bandits?"
Where is this bandit?"
"General, you are smart!" Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, because he could clearly hear the eagerness to try in the young general's tone. Apparently, he met the person he was looking for by accident. He didn't know whether it was God's blessing or his own.
After traveling through time, we encountered such a predicament that even the God of Destiny couldn't stand it anymore.
Pulling the horse's rein hard, the young general said in a deep voice: "Then you should tell me."
Li Xingchen did not hesitate and hurriedly explained in detail the battle between the village and the bandits. Of course, he did not dare to say how many bandits he had eliminated: "...Now my father has taken the people in the village to move to
In the back mountains, these bandits may come back at any time. In the past, it was because they looked down on us, the people in the mountains, that they were careless and their military advisors fell into our hands. However, if we cannot find reinforcements in time, our village may be in danger.
We will end up with the same fate as this village here!"
"Damn it!" The cavalryman next to him, who was obviously grumpy, swung his whip in his hand, "These bandits are really lingering. We have already killed seven or eight batches, why are there still more?!"
The young general sneered: "As long as the barbarians in the north do not retreat, these bandits who have been bribed or even threatened by the barbarians will definitely not stop. Therefore, the simplest and most direct way is to kill all these bandits. Only in this way, I, Da Chen, will be here in Huaibei.
Only in this area can we gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, all the people and business travelers will be killed by bandits, and we will really be helpless!"
The surrounding infantry and knights all nodded appreciatively. It was obvious that they had always admired this young general, and now they were even more convinced when they heard what he said.
At that moment, he handed Li Xingchen and the two men, and the young general said seriously: "To be honest with you two righteous men, my surname is Xiao and my name is Shilian. I have been ordered by my general Wu Yi to clean up the mountain bandits entrenched around Luliang. Since Luliang became my great general,
After Chen recovered, the barbarians in the north instigated these bandits to cause trouble. Although this is a disease, once these bold bandits stir up chaos in the rear, it will also make it difficult for our army to support the front line."
"Is it him?" Li Xingchen was shocked. He did not expect to meet the son of General Wu Yi Xiao Mohe in this place. Li Xingchen clearly remembered that he had read Xiao Mohe's biography, and Xiao Mohe was mentioned later.
Maha's eldest son is Xiao Shilian, and since the young general today reported himself as a subordinate of General Wu Yi, I'm afraid this person is right.
After all, his age and the description of Xiao Shilian's rigorous and humble character in history books are quite consistent. More importantly, the demeanor shown by this Xiao Shilian shows that he has received a good tutor, which coincides with his identity as the eldest son of Xiao Maha.
.
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't dare to point it out, otherwise he might be arrested by the soldiers who were waiting around Xiao Shilian. These soldiers were obviously selected elite veterans, otherwise Xiao Mohe probably wouldn't dare to let his son take hundreds of numbers with him.
People just come out and hang out.
It's no wonder that these guys looked at Li Xingchen and Li Qiu with something wrong from beginning to end. It was obviously because they suspected that these two guys who appeared out of nowhere wanted to harm the Major General, but what the Major General said made sense.
They have no way to refute and can only be more careful.
For these veterans, completing the mission and causing less trouble is the most important thing. As long as they can protect the young general, they can cause as little trouble as possible. What does those bandits actually have to do with them?
