Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

At this time, the sky was getting dark and the sunset had already set.

In the gradually gloomy night, I don't know how many people came from the other party.

When Qi Baiyi saw the formation, he frowned, pulled the reins, drove the horse forward, pulled out the long sword from his waist with his right hand, and shouted: "Listen to the order, draw the sword."

More than a dozen guards guarding the carriage rushed out on horseback and drew out steel knives. These guards were members of the Huma Gang, as well as several swordsmen recently recruited. They were all wearing cowhide armor and leather helmets.

There are dart ropes, a kettle on the saddle, and saddle bags on both sides. At first glance, it looks like a Mobei swordsman who can travel long distances and is skilled with swords and horses.

The dozen or so guards were not many in number, but their movements were neat and orderly. There was no chaos even when the horses and men neighed, and they had a powerful and intimidating aura.

Including the horsemen and servants of the convoy, the number of mountain bandits was twice that of this one. Seeing this scene, they also felt a sharp momentum. The leader shouted loudly, and the others had to rein in their horses. Stop.

"Which road are you on, which village are you stationed in? Which mountain top do you worship? Which road are you on? Who is the family leader... Why do you want to stop us?"

Qi Baiyi knew that what he said was nonsense, and it was not like he didn't hear what He Zhongheng said, but out of Taoist rules, he still had to ask questions using Taoist slang.

"hey-hey."

A bald man sat on a horse. He grinned: "It seems that we are also brothers who often walk on the road. Our group of people is the four beams and eight pillars of Qingjian Mountain in Heiqizhai. Hou, I have no other intention in coming here today, I just want to beg someone."

"who?"

Qi Baiyi raised half of his eyebrows and asked coldly.

"Needless to say, they want me."

He Zhongheng took a deep breath.

"Sha Wuhou, Qingjian Mountain Black Flag Village is considered a reputable force. This matter has nothing to do with others. You are just trying to trouble me. One person does things and the other takes responsibility..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of beating gongs and drums came from nowhere. The corners of the bald man's eyes twitched. He was surprised to find that in the forest in front of him, there were rustling, dark shadows, and sporadic firelight. It's lit, and I don't know how many people are hidden.

"The guards are here, the thieves in Qingjian Mountain should stop being so rampant!"

In the forest, someone shouted, and the war drums of "dong dong dong dong" rang. At the same time as the drums beat, there was also the whine of the horns, along with the sound of torch flames blowing in the night wind, In response, gongs, drums, and trumpets sounded from all directions.

Cold sweat broke out on Sha Wu's face. He didn't know who was coming, but the number of people was obviously several times more than the people he brought.

"Oh my god...it was too late when I received the news, so I took my cavalry with me. Not to mention this small manpower, if we encounter the guardsmen, even ordinary militia warriors may not be able to withstand them!"

The bald Sha Wuhou was also a decisive person. He immediately made a decision, turned his horse's head, and shouted "The wind is tight! Shit!"

The group of riders under his command did not waste any time, they all galloped away and fled in the blink of an eye.

"You run really fast!"

Qi Baiyi held the sword in his hand, with a somewhat stunned expression on his face.

"It turns out that the mountain bandits in the pass were more precious about their lives than the horse bandits. They all ran away without even seeing the enemy."

His tone was a bit startled, and he didn't know whether he was truly admiring or just being sarcastic.

"Brother He!"

A figure jumped out from the forest. It was a young man with some green beard on his lips and a hint of childishness on his face.

He was wearing coarse clothes and carried a red-tasseled gun on his shoulder. He behaved much more maturely than he actually was, and there was a heroic air between his brows.

"I'm here to pick you up. By the way, where is my sister-in-law?"

"It's you, Yingjie."

He Zhongheng turned over and dismounted, and explained to He Ping on the side: "This is the younger brother of my deceased sworn brother Qin Yinghao, who was from the nearby Qinjia Village. Today I brought my younger brother and sister to pay homage to my sworn brother. By the way, I planned to send her back to the countryside...who knew I would implicate the young master on the way."

"It goes without saying. It should be said that we have the help of Brother He. That gangster has bad intentions. I may not be able to stop him with just a few people like me."

He Ping looked at the young man named Qin Yingjie with a smile. The young man's eyes met his and he clasped his fists and saluted.

Then, I saw many figures holding torches walking out of the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road. There were about a hundred people in them. They were all ordinary villagers and warriors dressed up. Although there are a lot of people, if you look carefully, you will find that these villagers have few weapons in their hands. There are few people with knives and guns in the crowd, but there are many more people holding gongs, drums and horns.

When He Ping saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

"The dignified bandit leader of Hengyun Thirteenth Village was scared away by this kind of battle."

"There are many bandits in the local area, and the villagers and villagers around Longhe County can't count on the county officials, so they have to form militia groups and form strongholds to protect themselves. Otherwise, they will inevitably be ravaged by the bandits entrenched in Mingfeng Mountain. This is also An act of desperation.”

He Zhongheng just smiled bitterly. He sighed again and said: "Master Mi, I want to send someone to Qinjia Village. It's getting late. There's still a long way to go into the city. It's not peaceful this night. I suggest you and you It would be better if we go to Qinjia Village with me to stay overnight and then enter the county town tomorrow."

"No."

He Ping waved his hand.

"I can understand Brother He's kindness, but I still have some urgent matters and I have to get to the county seat tonight."

He Zhongheng tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing He Ping's firm attitude, he had no choice but to give up.

"Then Brother He, after arriving in Longhe County, let's find another opportunity to catch up on old times."

He Ping sat on the horse, bowed his hand to him, and rode away. The motorcade also drove slowly, and the team disappeared on the official road in the blink of an eye.

"This Mr. Mi seems to have a good nature, but it is not easy for someone like him to gain a foothold in Longhe County!"

He Zhongheng sighed again in his heart.

——Why is it so difficult to be a good person in this world?

…

"This opportunity is rare. If I want to establish myself in Longhe County, I must understand the surrounding situation."

The carriage stopped in an open space, and in front of a crackling bonfire, He Ping took a dead branch and drew a simple map on the sand.

"The internal situation in Longhe County is extremely complicated, and there are bandits like Hengyun Thirteenth Village outside. If I want to control the county, these bandits must be controlled by me..."

He Ping looked lazy, and his lazy tone contained a hint of arrogance and domineering.

"The terrain of Mingfeng Mountain is extremely steep, and there are more than ten groups of bandits, large and small, hiding in it. The Hengyun Ten Villages are called the Thirteen Villages. They are not one force, but more than ten different groups of bandits, large and small. The group just now They are the people from Qingjianfeng Black Flag Village."

He tapped it with a branch.

"Qingjian Peak is right here. There are thousands of natural cliffs surrounding the main peak, which seem to rise from the clouds. There is only one entrance to the village, but it is difficult to break through here? Normally, a large number of people are needed to attack here. , Therefore, I will not choose the stupid method of attacking by force."

He Ping turned around and asked Qi Baiyi, "By the way, that Sha Wuhou with the bandit's nickname of 'Ziao Tian Biao' has been caught."

"Master, please don't worry. I have sent out men and intercepted them on the way. They should have arrived by now."

As soon as Qi Baiyi finished speaking, several figures were seen in the woods outside the bonfire. These figures were all guards of the He family. A group of people approached holding torches. Some of them were holding hounds, and some were holding hounds on their shoulders. With his back bow, he was escorting a group of gangsters and kicked them over.

Sha Wuhou, the mighty "Tianbiao" just now, has become a prisoner. He is tied up with ropes and dragging an injured leg, staggering forward.

Suddenly, someone kicked him on the knee, and he knelt down in front of He Ping.

"You are Sha Wuhou,"

He Ping glanced at him coldly and said with a smile: "Qingjian Mountain Black Flag Village, where do you sit?"

"Who are you? How can you be considered a hero by bullying others?"

Sha Wuhou sneered and said: "Sha was accidentally plotted by you this time because of his negligence. If you have the ability, you can untie the rope from my body. Sha will let go of his hands and feet and fight with you. If he loses, , whether you want to kill or cut into pieces, please do as you please."

"Using the crowd to bully the few?"

He Ping raised his sleeves and waved his hand casually, and an invisible sword force flew out. A gangster kneeling next to Sha Wuhou swayed, and his head flew out diagonally. Blood sprayed from the broken neck onto Sha Wuhou's face. .

The expression on Sha Wuhou's face at this moment can be said to be quite wonderful.

"Don't you want to say it?"

Before Sha Wuhou could speak, He Ping swept out another sword energy diagonally and vertically. The gray shadow flew across the air, and another human head flew into the air, and rolled down into the haystack with a "dong" sound.

"You haven't thought about it yet? My patience is quite limited."

He Ping's fingers hung in his cuffs, and there was still a faint smile on his thin and handsome face.

"Tell me, which position do you sit on?"

His tone was very light, as if he was discussing something.

(Damn...what kind of magic is this? Why can you cut off a person's head from a few feet away with just a wave of your hand?)

However, such questions already made Sha Wuhou, who was kneeling on the ground, sweating like rain and trembling all over. Strong fear and timidity surged into his heart. The other party showed a harmless smile, but in his eyes he just felt that he was no different from a monster.

"Wait, I, I, I said... villain——"

At this moment, all the "hardness", "heroic spirit" and "heroic spirit" were gone. Sha Wuhou lowered his head and knocked his head hard on the ground.

"The villain ranks fifth in the village. Besides me, there are four other brothers who occupy the top four positions in the village."

"good!"

He Ping smiled, stood up, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Then are you interested in becoming the number one leader of the Black Flag Village in Qingjian Mountain and changing to the head of the village?"
