On the way up the mountainside, Liu Rong was panting and walking up with the support of several lieutenants.
"Damn it! This is a bullshit place where horses can't even get up, and I have to walk. I won't come even if I'm beaten to death next time!" Liu Rong cursed while breathing heavily.
"That's right, let me tell you, we shouldn't take this job!"
A short deputy general next to him was holding his helmet that was about to fall off with one hand and grabbing the knife at his waist with the other hand. He was also panting like an ox.
"The county magistrate also told us to be careful. Even though we're here, there's no one around. If this group of bandits finds out, we'll all run away, right?" Another general said.
"This is the only way up and down the mountain. Where can they go?"
"Rat has its own path. Maybe there are other paths. I think the general's strategy of ordering us to set up camp first was too wise. No, this group of bandits have fled!"
"Ha ha!"
"That's for sure. They're just a bunch of country folk. When the officers and soldiers arrive, aren't they so frightened that they want to run away?" the short deputy general joked.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed.
"If you want to tell me, that pretty boy named Murong Fu has no good intentions. He ran to the county magistrate to tell us, and then he brought us all the way here. I would say it was just for entertainment. "
"By the way, where is the pretty boy?"
Someone said disdainfully: "He's just a pretty boy. He has never seen such a battle. He was probably so scared that he peed his pants."
"Haha, you're right! But I heard that this group of bandits seems to have become rich recently. I'll go look for them carefully later. Maybe I can make a small fortune."
"Really? That's a worthwhile trip!"
……
Little did they know that there was a soldier in the marching troops just a few feet behind them, staring at the group of them with his eyes tightly, holding the hilt of his sword tightly in his hand until his knuckles turned white.
This little soldier was not told that he was holding a long sword that was inconsistent with the weapons of the army, but because the team was so chaotic, no one noticed that it was not Murong Fu.
After listening to the words of several officers, Murong Fu's face became as angry as iron. He suppressed his anger with force, narrowed his eyes slightly, and allowed you to be arrogant for a while longer. After the bandits were wiped out, hum!
Half an hour later, the army of officers and soldiers finally arrived at the gate of the villa.
Zhang Dao looked at the line of officers and soldiers and exclaimed in his heart, "Good guys," he even took another nap and woke up.
He knew from Qianchen's book that the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, but he didn't expect that these officers and soldiers were so bad.
It took more than an hour to climb up the mountain road. Even the ordinary minions in the villa would not take that long.
At this time, Li Erniu came over smiling with a cup of tea and a teapot in his hand.
"Master, your tea is here."
Looking at Li Erniu, Zhang Dao was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a long time. He just said casually when his mouth was a little dry, and his original intention was to let him go down and get a bowl of water.
I was still wondering why I hadn't seen him for a long time, but I didn't expect that this guy went to the back mountain to make himself a pot of tea.
Looking at Li Erniu's sweaty and red face, it's no wonder that he hasn't seen anyone for half an hour. Zhang Dao didn't say much. You can't brush off someone's good intentions just because they are not smart, right?
So Zhang Dao smiled and nodded, took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Li Erniu took the empty tea cup and was about to refill Zhang Dao's tea. Zhang Dao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not thirsty anymore. You can drink the rest!"
"Hey! Okay, thank you, owner!"
Li Erniu nodded happily after hearing this and took the empty tea cup from Zhang Dao's hand.
"Thank me for what I did. You brought this tea yourself." Zhang Dao joked with a smile. Seeing that Li Erniu looked a little at a loss, he smiled and said: "Drink it quickly, I guess you drank it too."
"Okay!" Hearing this, Li Erniu put down the empty teacup in his hand, picked up the teapot, and started drinking from the spout.
Zhao Erhu's eyes twitched as he watched from the side. Why can't you be more civilized without the owner of the village still here? civilization!
Not long after, Liu Rong finally arrived in front of the village.
Seeing that the village gate was closed, a young man in green clothes stood in a conspicuous position on the platform above the village gate. Then he saw the officers and soldiers holding weapons and breathing heavily. For a long time, you watched Look at me, look at you, but no one comes forward.
He was so angry that he picked up the whip and started swinging it from side to side, "A bunch of cowards, soft-footed shrimps! They usually don't move properly during training. Why are you acting like dead people now? Stand still! Get out of the way." ! Let me go to the front!"
With the threat of whips, the officers and soldiers gradually formed a formation.
Liu Rong quickly came to the gate. After Da Ma Jin Dao stood still, Liu Rong glanced to the side.
Someone among the soldiers around him understood and hurriedly took out a water bag from his bag and put it in Liu Rong's hand.
Liu Rong grabbed it and raised his hand to give orders. He felt his hand sink. When he looked down, he found that it was actually a water bag. He was so angry that he turned to the soldier and slapped him all over his face. He blew his beard and glared and cursed: " You're so fucking blind! I want Ling Qi! Ling Qi, do you understand?"
The surrounding soldiers took two steps back and stayed away from the unlucky guy, for fear of harming Chi Yu.
Looking at the scene in front of the gate, Zhang Dao burst into laughter on the gate.
When Liu Rong heard the laughter of the young man in green on the gate, his face turned green. He didn't want to make a fool of his subordinates in front of the bandits. He happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the water bag and drank it.
After finishing the drink, Liu Rong threw the water bag in his hand, pointed his whip at Zhang Dao on the gate and shouted.
"Hey! Listen, you little thief, call your village leader out quickly and let me give you a lecture!"
Zhang Dao was still smiling. Zhang Dazhuang and Zhao Erhu were standing on both sides of him. The officers and soldiers were staring unkindly at Liu Rong in front of the gate.
Li Erniu, who was behind them, was not happy anymore. He raised the teapot that he had just filled his mouth with and threw his head at Liu Rong.
"You're blind! The person in front of you is the owner of our Qingyun Villa!"
Seeing another object flying towards him, Liu Rong hurriedly dodged.
Hearing a scream of "ah", Liu Rong hurriedly touched his head, but did not find that he was injured.
Following the screams, he saw that the object hit the head of an unlucky guy five or six meters away from him.
The unlucky guy was beaten to a bloody head and was holding his head and howling miserably.
Looking at the object that hit people, it turned out to be a teapot.
Liu Rong suddenly became angry and cursed at the gate: "You bandits, I am an official of the imperial court. I personally led the army here this time, but you unexpectedly attacked the officers and soldiers! Do you want to rebel? Hurry up! Open the village gate and surrender, and you can save your life!"
Zhang Dao ignored the shouts under the gate and was stunned by Li Erniu's operation. He looked at Li Erniu beside him with doubts.
But Li Erniu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "It missed the target!"
Zhang Dao suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He pointed at Li Erniu and didn't know what to say.
After seeing the officer shouting again, the people in Zhamenli Villa became a little commotion, knowing that it was time for him to appear.
So Zhang Dao held on to the railing, mobilized his inner strength and said, "Listen to the officers and soldiers below, you have been surrounded by me! I advise you to put down your weapons and surrender immediately, be lenient if you confess, be lenient if you resist, it's still not too late!"
Liu Rong: "?"
All officers and soldiers: "?"
Zhang Dazhuang and everyone in the villa: "?"
Zhang Dao's calm tone was not loud, but with the blessing of his inner strength, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
Most of the people in the villa did not understand what the owner meant, but they all looked excited and had high morale. This move alone exceeded everyone's expectations. They did not expect that the owner of the village was actually a martial arts master!
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they all looked horrified. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader was actually a master and a timid one. They looked around and quietly took two steps back.
Murong Fu, who was hiding among the officers and soldiers, had a condensed look on his face. He didn't expect that this frail bandit leader was actually a master-level master!
He secretly made a miscalculation and knew that there was no hope for the officers and soldiers to suppress the thieves this time, so he lowered the brim of his hat again and began to retreat slowly back.
Liu Rong's expression also changed, but he quickly recovered and shouted coldly: "I'm just a small martial arts master. How dare you rely on your meager skills to resist the imperial army? Do you really think you are invincible? You really don't know how to live or die!" "
"Hahahaha!" After hearing Liu Rong's words, Zhang Dao was not angry. Instead, he burst out laughing. The laughter, accompanied by internal energy, echoed in Qingyun Mountain, startling the flying birds.
Liu Rong, who was a little scared by Zhang Dao's laughter, asked with a cold face: "Why are you laughing?"
"Ignorance, fearlessness!" Zhang Dao's eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "This is the last warning. Anyone who does not surrender will be killed!"
When Murong Fu heard this laughter, he was horrified. This was definitely not just a grandmaster level. Oh my god, what on earth was he doing to dare to provoke such a powerful master?
He couldn't help but quicken his pace and leave, but it was already too late.
"Hmph! You're a creature who doesn't know how to live or die. I wanted to keep you alive, but I don't know how high the sky is." Liu Rong snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand, and then a soldier immediately placed the flag in his hand.
Liu Rong held the flag in his hand, his eyes flashing coldly, and he waved it down hard at the gate of the cottage!
"Brothers, kill me!"
