Chapter 8 Rewards

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel ashamed on their faces. Xue Liangchen snorted coldly, took the ointment, clean cloth strips, pulled out the short knife around his waist, roasted it on the fireside for a while, and said softly to Yue Fei: "Brother, you bite this wooden piece, I will pull out the arrow and apply medicine for you, and it will be fine in a while!" Then he ordered Xue Liangyu beside him, "Press him and don't let him move!"

"Okay!" Xue Liangyun responded, then reached out to hold Yue Fei. He had been extremely brave since childhood. He could wear two armors at the age of fourteen and jumped onto the war horse without using stirrups. Although he is the youngest among the four brothers of the Xue family, he is the best in terms of strength. But when Xue Liangchen pulled out the arrow for Yue Fei, he felt that the body below struggled violently and almost lifted himself away. He couldn't help but be surprised: "You guy have such a lot of strength."

Yue Fei ignored him. After Xue Liangchen bandaged his wound, he stood up with difficulty and bowed to Xue Liangchen and said, "Boy Yue Fei, thank you for your kindness in saving your life and healing your wounds!"

"Yue Fei? Could it be Yue Wumu?" Zhou Ping was shocked and looked carefully at the injured boy in front of him. He saw that the other party was in a solid physique and his face was covered with dust and blood. He could not see what he looked like for a moment, so he had to press the curiosity in his heart and listen carefully.

"Forget it, you were injured just now, lie down and rest!" Xue Liangchen smiled slightly and was about to leave, but he heard Yue Fei ask behind him, "I dare to ask, why did you not kill the thief with all your strength and let the thief go?"

Xue Liangchen was stunned when he heard this, turned around and smiled, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"When you asked your subordinates to light the fire, you only lit the hay outside the right side of the village, but the houses and other places in the village were not lit! It was obvious that you were just planning to scare the thief away and give up!"

Xue Liangyu was furious when she heard this, pressed her backhand on the hilt of the knife around her waist and shouted: "Boy, are you trying to die? My second brother is my turn to give you your advice!"

"Fourth brother, retreat!" Xue Liangchen shouted softly and smiled at Yue Fei, "We only have more than ten people, it would be great if we can scare the thief away!"

Yue Fei looked at the archers around him who were still in shock and said nothing more. Zhou Ping, who was standing beside him, looked at Yue Fei's face covered in dust and blood, but the questions in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Is this young man really Yue Wumu? If I remember correctly, Yue Fei seems to be from Xiangzhou too!"

Zhou Ping finally could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and walked to the side. After a while, he came back with a bucket of clear water and smiled: "Brother Yue, look at your face covered in dust and blood, you must be very uncomfortable. Wipe it!"

"Thank you, brother!" Yue Fei bowed his hand gratefully, and then started scrubbing himself. As the dust and blood were washed away, the ordinary face below revealed. He saw a pair of eyes, one big and one small, and the rough look a bit ridiculous.

When Yue Fei saw Zhou Ping staring at his eyes tightly, he was not angry and said with a smile: "Brother, don't laugh, my eyes are different from the size of my eyes since I was a child!"

"It's indeed King Wu Mu!" Zhou Ping suppressed his inner excitement. Any Chinese in later generations could understand his feelings at this time. A living Martial Saint appeared in front of him, but it would be better to restrain himself, otherwise it would be bad if he annoyed the other party.

"Brother Yue misunderstood!" Zhou Ping hurriedly smiled and said, "I think you are so familiar below. It seems that you have seen it somewhere. If you don't mention it, I haven't noticed that your eyes are of extraordinary size!"

"So that's it!" Yue Fei was still a honest boy of sixteen or seventeen years old at this time. Without thinking too much, he believed Zhou Ping's nonsense: "So that's it. I'm quite familiar with Brother Tai. I guess I met him some time when I rushed to the ruins. By the way, I haven't asked about Brother Taifu."

"Taifu?" Zhou Ping was stunned and realized that Yue Fei was asking his name. Then he remembered that Yue Fei must have read a little book. Seeing that he was dressed as a child of a poor family in the countryside, it was quite inconsistent with his words and behaviors.

"I'm in the next surname Zhou and Ping, and I was originally from Youzhou!" Zhou Ping revealed his origins: "It's Tian Ke from the Xue family. This time I come with the master's family to get the thief!"

"My name is Yue Fei. She is from Tangyin, one of our province. She is poor and cannot make a living. She helps the servants in the Han family!"

After Zhou Yue and the other two talked for a while, Yue Fei revealed his family background. Zhou Ping learned that Yue Fei lost his father when he was young, and only his mother was in the hall. He became more and more sure that the person in front of him was the famous Yue Wu Mu Yue E, the king who had been famous for all ages. He became more and more careful in his speech. Yue Fei was just a 16 or 17-year-old boy at this time, and he had just experienced a struggle on the line of life and death. There was also a desire to express himself in his heart. He chatted with Zhou Ping for a while and suddenly sighed: "I had shot and killed the thief Zhang Chao last night. I thought it was just a matter of catching a few remnants today, but I didn't expect--" Speaking of this, Yue Fei sighed, lowered his head, and looked quite depressed.

Zhou Ping looked at the farm boy in front of him. The feeling of respect as a god just now gradually dissipated, and gradually felt a little close. He whispered: "Brother Yue Family, this incident is not your responsibility. If Zhu Zhi had not been greedy for me and was defeated by the thief's plan, how could he be defeated?"

"Brother Zhou said it right!" Yue Fei showed a look of hatred on his face: "But I don't blame Zhu Zhi for being greedy for being trapped. After all, the thief was cunning, and he was not the one who was trapped. But as a county magistrate, he fled alone after encountering the thief and abandoned his subordinates. He deserved to die!" At this point, Yue Fei punched the ground suddenly, but accidentally touched the wound on his shoulder, and his face changed drastically.

"Brother Yue, be careful of the wound!" Zhou Ping hurriedly supported Yue Fei, secretly sighing that it was indeed the character that determines his destiny. This person is just an ordinary Tianke now, and he dared to openly accuse the county magistrate in front of outsiders. It is no wonder that he ended up like that later. Zhou Ping was thinking about how to persuade him, but heard someone shouting behind him: "Aping, come and help, there is not enough staff here!"

Zhou Ping responded, but it was Xue Liangyu who was counting the spoils and asking him to come and keep the accounts. While directing his subordinates to work, Xue Liangyu whispered to Zhou Ping: "Aping, don't pay attention to the injured boy. He looks ungrateful. You can tell at a glance that he is a short-lived ghost. Be careful of bad luck!"

"Thank you, my husband!" Zhou Ping replied laughing and crying, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This Xue Silang is really born with a crow's mouth!"

Anyang County Government.

"What, the thieves are powerful, with more than a thousand people?" Shen Heng's face turned pale, as if the pink walls around him.

"Not bad!" Zhu Zhi, who was kneeling on the lower head, tied a thick layer of bandage on his shoulder, his face full of purple, as if he had just escaped from the battlefield: "When the lower official learned that the bandits were in Gaoping Village, he led the archers from all over the country to arrest him. He had already surrounded the thief heads in the village, but he did not expect more than a thousand bandits to suddenly arrive. Although he was loyal and righteous, he led the crowd to fight to the death, but the crowd was outnumbered and had to break out of the siege, and the rest of the archers-" Speaking of this, Zhu Zhi was already lying on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Please get up in County Magistrate Zhu!" Chen Heng stood up and helped Zhu Zhi aside and sat down. If what he said was true, then Anyang County would be in danger. The Song Dynasty had been in peace for a hundred years. The people of Hebei had long been ignorant of military power, but they could not live without this county Magistrate. Chen Heng thought of this and was about to ask him how to strengthen the defense of the county town. A clerk suddenly came in and whispered a few words in Shen Heng's ear. The magistrate's face changed slightly, he stared at Zhu Zhi fiercely, and then quickly walked out and left Zhu Zhi alone in the hall.

"You said that there were only fifty or sixty thieves?" Chen Heng's face seemed to have a layer of frost condensed, and he asked Xue Liangchen.

"Not bad!" Xue Liangchen thought that the magistrate looked so ugly because he learned that the archers were defeated by bandits in Gaoping Village. He hurriedly explained: "County Master, although the thieves escaped, the abducted people were rescued, and only eight people died, and the injured were all treated. It was not a big deal!" He was afraid that the magistrate would take back the property, so he deliberately did not mention the property.

"Fifty or sixty people, what a good person, Zhu Zhi, dare to deceive a family!" Chen Heng suppressed his anger and looked at the brothers Xue Liangchen, Liu Sheng, Zhou Ping, and Yue Fei in front of him, and said to Xue Liangchen with gentle words: "Okay, let's talk about the war in detail with me!"

"Yes, the county master!" Xue Liangchen sang a fat promise and said, he was a meticulous person. As the saying goes, "officials protect each other." If the county magistrate was ambushed by the county magistrate, he would offend Zhu Zhi. Maybe even the magistrate in front of him would offend him. So he did not mention the matter before he arrived, but only said that after he arrived, he planned to scare away the bandits, steal the captured people and rescue the archer. After that, Xue Liangchen bowed to the magistrate and said, "Justice has not pursued the bandits just now, causing the thief to escape from the net. Please forgive me!"

"Forget it, you only have more than ten people, but there are fifty or sixty thieves. The number is very different. No wonder you!" Chen Heng reached out to help Xue Liangchen up, thinking in his heart: "This guy can scare away five or six times his thieves with more than ten people and take back the abducted people. If this person sits in Zhu Zhi's position, what's the point of that group of bandits? It's better to let this person sit as a county magistrate!" This idea was like a fire ball and burning in his heart.

"County Master, the common people have something to report!" Yue Fei, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but bow down and bowed.

"Oh, it's Brother Yue!" Because of Han Xiaozhou, Chen Heng still remembered this Tian Ke. Seeing the bandage on his body, for some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart: "If you have anything, please tell me!"
