Before Zhuge Yu could speak, there was suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps.

Tuxlow, who had a sinister face and sinister eyes, strode over, followed by Li Goudan, who was panting and looking like he couldn't wait to complain.

Tukeslow crossed his arms and looked at Jiang Mingyu and Zhuge Yu up and down, looking impatient.

He yelled at the top of his voice: "My lord, what are you still struggling with? My subordinates see that we should strike while the iron is hot and immediately send troops to destroy Xiewanggou!"

After saying that, he slapped Zhuge Yu on the shoulder again, so hard that Zhuge Yu staggered.

Seeing this, Li Goudan also came up to him. His unshaven eyes shone and he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, my lord, listen to Tuxlow and kill all those damn bandits! We have the strength in numbers. We have the strength."

What is there to be afraid of?"

Jiang Mingyu frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Zhuge Yu who was silent.

Zhuge Yu pursed his lips and seemed to think deeply for a while before slowly nodding and saying: "Master, their suggestions are reasonable. Our actions have been exposed long ago. The poisonous scorpion has no other choice but to fight hard. Our army is far away."

If you are stronger than him, the best strategy is to fight quickly."

After hearing this, Jiang Mingyu pondered for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's settled. When tomorrow morning comes, the entire army will attack Xiewanggou directly, and we must annihilate the poisonous scorpions in one fell swoop!"

The next day, just after dawn, the clear bells and the loud whistles of the soldiers rang in the camp. Jiang Mingyu straightened his back and ordered loudly: "Everyone listens to the order and prepare to set off!"

The group of people stepped on the morning light and once again embarked on the journey to conquer Xiewanggou. In front of them were rolling mountains, with winding roads winding through the mountains. Everyone looked firm and walked with determination.

Xiewanggou is located in a barren mountain more than 80 miles north-west of Heifeng Ridge. The terrain is hidden and complex.

Jiang Mingyu recalled the news from the scouts that Xiewanggou was not the original base of the Poisonous Scorpions, but why they moved here is still a mystery.

Poisonous Scorpion was originally a bandit in the wilderness, but he was different from ordinary bandits.

He robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and never killed innocent people.

He also strictly ordered his men not to provoke the government and only do innocuous things. Because he led his people to resist the Xixia people many times, this "hero who fought with force and robbed" actually won the support of some people - this is also the reason why Xiewanggou has a large number of people.

important reasons for the public.

Jiang Mingyu understood all this, but his stance was different, so he could only sigh.

He knew that a bloody storm would eventually come, and all he could do was to try his best to end this helpless fight...

The sound of horse hooves became more and more clear on the muddy mountain road, and the cold wind made people's faces hurt. Li Goudan wrapped his cotton-padded jacket tightly, shivering from the cold, but he couldn't help but think of the poisonous scorpions described by the scouts.

"Sir, compared to the cruel bandits before, this poisonous scorpion is kind. He doesn't harm the people, he has many people under his command, and he seems to have some skills. He can be considered a good person among the bandits."

Jiang Mingyu, who was riding on the horse, frowned, and the white air exhaled from his mouth became even worse. He slowly shook his head: "I think this is what is scary about poisonous scorpions."

"What? Sir, what do you mean?" Li Goudan looked up at Jiang Mingyu in confusion.

Jiang Mingyu tightened his grip on the reins and explained after careful consideration: "Think about it, why is Poisonous Scorpion different when doing the same thing? If he really doesn't harm the people, how can hundreds of people eat and drink? What's going on here?

There must be something wrong. I still don’t know what is going on, but the poisonous scorpion must be trying to win people’s hearts, otherwise where could there be so many people gathering in Xiewanggou?”

"I have said that a bandit is still a bandit after all. Even if he has defeated the Xixia people, he still needs to be exterminated. Since I am determined to eliminate all local bandits, Poisonous Scorpion will inevitably die."

Li Goudan still had some doubts, but seeing Jiang Mingyu's determined look, he could only nod. Jiang Mingyu sneered and continued: "I have underestimated the poisonous scorpion. He may be more terrifying. We must be careful."

Tuxlow, who was next to him, immediately said: "My lord is absolutely right! These damn bandits can't survive without robbing! I definitely don't believe the scout's nonsense. It's nonsense that bandits still take care of the people!"

Zhuge Yu, who had been silent all this time, frowned slightly, looked at the white snow flying in front of him, and said slowly: "We are about to arrive at the Scorpion King Valley. When we see this poisonous scorpion, we will be able to tell whether the rumors are true or false."

His tone was calm and determined.

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, making the team's march difficult. Jiang Mingyu reached out to brush the snow off his shoulders and asked loudly: "Brothers, are you cold?" His voice was loud, but vaguely tired.

The neat answer came from below: "It's not cold!" The soldiers tried hard to hide the coldness.

Jiang Mingyu's face darkened and he repeated: "I ask again, are you cold?" His tone was serious and could not be denied.

After a brief silence, the sergeants responded in unison: "Cold!"

Jiang Mingyu laughed loudly, and the snowflakes on his body fell to the ground: "It's cold, I'm very cold too. When we capture Xiewanggou, I'll treat everyone to a drink, how about a good drink?

?”

"Good wine!" cheers resounded through the sky, and the biting wind and snow seemed to become less difficult. The soldiers thought that they could drink happily after doing this, and they were all in high spirits, and they were more determined to destroy Xiewanggou.

Among the crowd, the hurried soldiers hurried on, seemingly faster than before. Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but smile to himself. The scene in front of him was a living allusion to "looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst". It turned out that the truth was not a fiction.

However, even this short-lived joy did not last long and dissipated in every step. Stepping onto the battlefield, with swords and swords flashing, life and death uncertain, who can ensure that they can make it to the end and enjoy the wine in Jiang Mingyu's mouth?

The afternoon sun was shining slantingly. Jiang Mingyu ate a dry steamed bun in a hurry. Just as he was about to urge everyone to move forward, a scout hurried back. In stark contrast to the soldiers in front of him, this scout was covered in sweat.

Fengchen is like a lonely messenger carried by the cold wind.

He gasped for air: "Sir, thirty miles ahead is the goal of our trip - Xiewanggou." There was a hint of fatigue and nervousness in his voice, "The stronghold is heavily guarded, and hundreds of bandits have already arrived.

They are waiting in line, apparently they are going to compete with our army."

Li Goudan frowned thickly: "Just this morning I was saying that Poisonous Scorpion might be a good person, but now it seems that there is no distinction between right and wrong."

He took a deep breath and said, "With only his scrappy military strength, he actually dares to fight against your Lord's army. He is really blind."

Tukslow seemed unconcerned: "This is good, wipe out their nest in one fell swoop, and avoid future troubles."

His slender eyes flashed with a cold light and strong murderous intent, and his tone was equally ruthless.

Jiang Mingyu was anxiously waiting for the moment to eradicate the bandits and rush back to Shang Mu as soon as possible. He also agreed with Tuxlow's opinion: "Tuxlow is right. Since this poisonous scorpion is so interested, then I will accompany him."

Let’s play a game.”

He ordered: "Send the order, the whole army speeds up and must arrive at Xiewanggou before dusk."

About half an hour later, everyone finally arrived in front of the Xiewanggou cottage. A middle-aged man wearing a black cotton robe with an average appearance, who looked to be about forty years old, Poison Scorpion, stood in front of Jiang Mingyu, holding his hands

Empty.

Behind him, hundreds of bandits were also weaponless and bare-handed. Jiang Mingyu couldn't help but feel surprised: "Poisonous Scorpion, what do you mean?"

Unexpectedly, Poisonous Scorpion suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Mingyu with a plop. His voice was choked with sobs: "Sir, we surrender." His expression was full of urgency and sincerity, as if he had entrusted his fate to Jiang Mingyu.
