Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 83
Shen Zheng nodded, sighed, and drank a toast.

Shen Zheng knew that Li Jing was making a promise to him, but Shen Zheng really didn't want to wait like this forever.

Shen Ying is eighteen years old. In this era, girls already belong to older youths. If they are not married, they will be laughed at by others, which will have an impact on the Shen family's reputation.

If Li Jing had an elder, Shen Zheng could still propose marriage to Li Jing's elder, but Li Jing is a junior, how could Shen Zheng open his mouth like that?

Shen Zheng was drinking with his head down, Li Jing didn't know how to explain it, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

At this moment, suddenly a person ran over in a hurry, seeing Li Jing and the others, before he could salute, he said, "Brother, there are three officers and soldiers coming towards the mountain."

Li Jing was taken aback, three officers and soldiers?Could it be that Liu Ming is back?Why did he come up the mountain when it was Chinese New Year?

Li Jing was guessing, but Sun Meng jumped up and scolded: "His grandma, if three people dare to enter the mountain, I will cut off their dog's head! Gao Qi, old horse, come with me!"

Gao Qi and Ma Wu heard this, without any hesitation, they stood up abruptly, turned around and were about to go down the mountain.

When Li Jing saw it, he hurriedly stopped the three of them: "Don't mess around, it might be one of your own."

The three of Sun Meng were taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly stopped in their tracks.

Li Jing then turned to the bandit who reported the letter and said, "Are there only three officers and soldiers?"

The man nodded hastily and said, "En! There are only three."

Li Jingjing nodded, probably it should be Liu Ming and the other three.If a brigade of officers and soldiers appeared around Hongshanling, the eyeliner spread around the perimeter would have come back to report.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing said to the person who reported the letter: "Go and tell Liu Er, let him take Zheng Yucheng and a few brothers down the mountain with you to have a look. If you know these three people, please invite them here. If you don't Get acquainted here."

The person who reported the letter took the order, cupped his fists, turned and left.

"Brother, this is..." Sun Meng wondered.

Li Jing waved his hand, motioning for Sun Meng and the three to sit down.

"It should be that Liu Ming is back, otherwise the officers and soldiers would not be so bold and only send three people up the mountain." Li Jing said.

Only then did Sun Meng and the others suddenly understand.

They also heard from Li Jing that several officers and soldiers were recruited in the battle of Wanbai Mountain, but except for Li Jing and Shen Zheng, no one present had ever seen Liu Ming, and even most of the bandits on the mountain did not know Liu Ming.

. .

Li Jing expected well, it was Liu Ming and his two cronies who came.

That day, after Liu Ming went down the mountain, he went straight to Xiaozhuang Village without stopping.

Seeing that Liu Ming returned with only two subordinates, Liu Hong was shocked and asked what happened.

When he heard that the entire army of two hundred elite officers and soldiers had been annihilated, and even Xu Laosan became the ghost of the bandits, Liu Hong sat down on the chair and didn't recover for a long time.

After a long time, Liu Hong finally came to his senses, looked at Liu Ming and asked suspiciously: "More than 200 officers and soldiers are gone, how did you escape?"

Liu Ming hesitated for a moment before saying: "Lord Qianhu, the younger one was released by the bandit leader Li Jing."

"Put it back?" Liu Hong was a little puzzled, then looked at Liu Ming coldly and said, "Are you afraid that you have already surrendered the bandits?"

"Reporting to Lord Qianhu, the little one did surrender the bandits, otherwise not only the little one would die, but even my brothers would die as well." Liu Ming said honestly.

"Since you surrendered the bandits, why did you come back?" Liu Hong sneered.

Liu Ming shook his head, sighed and said, "Lord Qianhu, the younger one came back to give some New Year's silver taels to my brother's family, and secondly, to tell you something."

Liu Hongqi said: "Send the dead brother a family allowance? Where did you get the money?"

Liu Ming smiled wryly, "It's what I asked for from the head of the family."

Hearing that Liu Ming called the leader of the bandit the Big Master, Liu Hongdun knew that Liu Ming was determined to surrender to the bandits.

Liu Hong sneered: "Liu Ming, you are quite courageous. After surrendering the bandits, you dare to come back. Don't you think I dare not kill you?"

Liu Ming smiled and said: "Lord Qianhu, I am here to deliver a message for the master. If you want to kill me, please listen to me."

Liu Hong glanced at Liu Ming coldly and said, "What letter does he want you to send?"

"The head of the family said that he wanted to make friends with the adults, that's all he said." Liu Ming said.

"Make friends with me? Hahaha, this bandit leader is interesting. He killed so many of my brothers, yet he wants to make friends with me?" Liu Hong laughed loudly.

Liu Ming nodded and said: "Brother Li did say that, he didn't make you submit to him like I did."

Liu Hong was suddenly furious: "Shut up, you actually call him big brother, what kind of ecstasy soup did this bandit leader give you to make you wholeheartedly help him do things."

Liu Ming sighed and said, "Lord Qianhu, I can't do without surrender. I still have six brothers in his hands, and they are all brothers who have been with me for more than ten years. I can't watch my brothers be killed because of me."

"So, you surrendered out of helplessness?" Liu Hong's expression paled.

Liu Ming shook his head and said, "I sincerely submit to him, my lord, I have been with you for so many years, you should understand me, I am afraid of death, and I have no skills, but there is one good thing, that is, I never lie."

Liu Hong nodded, this is why he valued Liu Ming.

Although Liu Ming is a bit timid, has no skills, and is greedy for petty fortune, he has always been loyal to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong believed that even if Liu Ming surrendered to the bandits, he would never do anything against him.

Liu Hong sighed, waved his hands and said, "Finally, what else do you want to do when you come back this time?"

Liu Ming nodded, opened the bag, took out 100 taels of silver, and offered it to Liu Hong with both hands, saying: "This is my brother's filial piety to Lord Qianhu. The Chinese New Year is almost here, and brother knows that Lord Qianhu is not very rich, so I asked for it from the head of the family. Some money, my lord will save it for the brothers to reward."

Seeing Liu Ming suddenly take out four silver ingots, Liu Hong was taken aback.

Although Liu Hong has a thousand households, the salary of the guard soldiers is far from that of the frontier soldiers. In fact, the salary is not much.

And because the higher-ups are often in arrears of payment, although they can eat some free time following the commander, they are not very rich.

The so-called money touches people's hearts. Seeing Liu Ming suddenly handing out 100 taels of silver to him, Liu Hong was still a little moved.

Seeing that Liu Hong was hesitant to answer, Liu Ming smiled and said, "My lord, this is my brother's filial piety to my lord. It has nothing to do with bandits. My lord can just use it at ease."

After thinking for a while, Liu Hong took the silver and said with a smile: "You are quite capable, just surrendered, and the bandit leader gave you so much silver. It seems that those bandits are very rich? But I have never heard of them going down the mountain to rob. Where did their money come from? Is the Shen family in Lin County really so rich?"

Liu Ming shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't know, but the Xu family is willing to spend so much money to suppress the bandits, I think it will be a lot."

"If this is the case, it seems that I really need to spend some effort to wipe out these bandits. By then, we brothers can live a good life for a few days." Liu Hong continued with a smile.

Liu Ming shook his head and said: "Lord Qianhu, with the strength of our Weihui Mansion, I'm afraid we can't suppress it. I don't want to hide it from you, the head of the family is killing people... How should I put it, I have never seen him like that Murderer. You didn't see it, but when I saw him, my first thought was to run away as soon as possible, the farther away from him the better."

Then Liu Ming recounted the process of Li Jing's murder in detail.

"So powerful?" Liu Hong asked in surprise.

Liu Ming nodded.

Suddenly Liu Hong remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "You said he was wearing a mask?"

"Yes!" Liu Ming nodded.

"Wearing a mask... Wearing a mask... Could it be he did it?" Liu Hong murmured.

"What did he do? What happened?" Liu Mingqi asked.

Liu Hong shook his head, and told the story of the attack on the logistics and transportation units.

Liu Ming heard the words, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Maybe it was the master who did it. At that time, we were about to take down the other side of the valley. The master came in from outside the valley, and he was the only one. Then under his leadership After that, the bandits formed a group again, and finally a large number of bandits came from outside the valley, and the officers and soldiers were besieged in the valley, and they were all wiped out."

Liu Hong nodded, momentarily noncommittal.

At this moment, someone reported that the officers and soldiers sent to contact the Zhangde Guard had returned.

Liu Hong nodded and ordered the man to come in.

When the soldier received the news, Liu Hong asked anxiously, "Why did it take you so long to come back? What did Zhangdewei say, did you agree to attack together?"

The man hesitated for a long time before he said: "Sir Qianhu, I didn't find the soldiers and horses of Zhangde Guard, only saw two camps burned, as for the officers and soldiers, I didn't see any of them."

"What? The camp of officers and soldiers in Zhangde Guard was burned?" Liu Hong was shocked.

"Yes, the camp is in a mess, and the younger one found a lot of discarded weapons. It must have been attacked suddenly. The younger one asked the local people, and said that he saw a group of officers and soldiers heading towards Lin County in the middle of the night." said the man.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!" Liu Hong cursed angrily.

After thinking about it, my logistics supply was also attacked, and everyone was in the same place, so there was no need to scold others.

The officers and soldiers of Zhangde Guard had retreated, and Liu Hong knew that the soldiers of Weihui Mansion alone might not be able to take down the bandits in Hongshanling.

After waving his hand, Liu Hong ordered the person who reported the message to back down.

Liu Hong cursed inwardly, this group of bandits is too damn powerful, facing the officers and soldiers attacking from two directions, they dared to attack separately overnight, burned all the logistics supplies of the two groups of officers and soldiers, and even burned down the camps of the officers and soldiers of Zhangdewei. Forcing Zhangdewei to retreat.

Suddenly Liu Hong felt something was wrong. The officers and soldiers of the Zhangde Guard retreated in the middle of the night, that is to say, they were attacked at or before midnight, while his side was attacked near dawn.

Did the bandits attack the officers and soldiers of Zhangde Mansion first and then attack themselves?
They ran hundreds of miles of mountain road overnight, are these bandits made of iron?

Moreover, such an important operation must be led by the bandit leader himself, and the bandit leader went back to the mountains from here and killed more than 200 of his subordinates. Is this person still a fucking human?

What if this person attacked his camp first?Can you stop it yourself?
Thinking of this, Liu Hong suddenly shuddered.

　During the recommendation period, there will be two changes a day, at [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] noon respectively. If the grades are good, there will be more changes!
