In the jungle.

Countless bandits lurked secretly, staring at the prison cart below.

Woo — chirping —

The rhythmic sound of birds sounded, and bloodthirsty light flashed in the bandits' eyes, and rushed out from behind the stones, grass, trees, etc.

"Brother, lend me clothes."

A voice sounded behind a bandit, and before he could look back, he completely disappeared.

Zhou Yi changed his clothes, used the bone-like technique to activate his magic power, and then changed his face shape and then used disguise technique, which was similar to the dead bandits.

at this time.

The imperial guards on the mountain road have already discovered something strange.

Yang Shou, the commander of the imperial guard, saw the birds flying in the mountains, waved his hand to stop the march and ordered the scout to go to the mountain to inquire.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the scout back, and I had already concluded that there was an ambush in the mountains.

"Range the array and welcome the enemy!"

Yang Shou led the elite imperial guards and quickly gathered the prison chariots and set up a round formation to standby.

"Hahaha! Heaven is above! I am the guardian under the command of the Heavenly King. Today I will kill all the Butcher Li tribe members and offer sacrifices to the Heavenly King!"

A deafening laughter came, and then dozens of huge rocks flew from the mountain, smashing towards the military formation like raindrops.

"Trailing car!"

Yang Shou exclaimed, before he could evacuate the military formation, the huge rock had already been smashed to the head.

The huge rocks thrown from the mountain are incapable of human resistance and they hit the crowd with screams.

After three or four consecutive rounds of huge rocks, the formation of the imperial guards was dispersed.

"Kill! Kill..."

There were rushing sounds on the mountains on both sides, and there were at least thousands of people listening to the sound.

Yang Shou shouted loudly: "Array, array!"

The imperial guards barely reorganized their formation, and what came towards them was arrows falling like rain, and there were heavy casualties and injuries.

"Defend the enemy!"

Despair flashed in Yang Shou's eyes, not because he was afraid of the number of enemies, but because he had other guesses in his heart.

At least a dozen catapults, the archers in the building were not affordable by bandits or rebels. The other party deliberately shouted that the origin was obviously a name.

As soon as the imperial guards and the bandits met in close contact, they noticed something strange.

The elite imperial guards were trained to slap their muscles and bones every day, but their strength was no match for the bandits.

Yang Shou used two-shot spear to kill several bandits, and immediately saw more clearly that the imperial guards had retreated step by step.

"I can't die like this!"

The commander had already thought of retreating, and how could the soldiers under his command fight to the death? He didn't know whether he was intentional or forgotten. There were no bandits intercepting them in front of and behind the mountain road.

So, after Yang Shou took the lead in fleeing, the imperial guards fled one after another.

The target of the bandits was a prison van, and they did not pursue the imperial guards, and slaughtered prisoners with weapons.

The Li family members in the prison car were shackles on their hands and feet, and were unable to resist at all, so they could only be slaughtered.

In the mountains and forests.

Zhou Yi was carrying the young Li Hong and stood on the branch.

"It's time to leave. After checking the bones later, you may find something strange."

When the imperial guards fought with the bandits, Zhou Yi took advantage of the chaos to rescue Li Hong and left a bandit with similar size and broken faces on the prison car.

"Senior, wait, I will watch the tribe die with my own eyes, so as to remember this hatred more deeply!"

Li Hong did not cry or feel sad. He listened to his mother, brother, and relatives howling and screaming, and died one by one under the sword of a bandit.

After a moment.

All the Li clan members died, and the bandits opened the prison cart and displayed the corpses one by one.

A few bandits walked out of the long gowns and counted the number. Among them, there were a few corpses with bloody faces and carefully identified their figures and dresses.

"The Jiangnan family is taking action."

Zhou Yi heard a few long gowns conversations clearly and said, "They didn't doubt you, they just thought it was a melee and suffered a severe blow on their faces."

"Those are my uncle Li Chi, cousin Li Yi, and cousin Li Liang. They are only one or two years apart from me and are about the same size. The eldest brother is meticulous and afraid that I will be hunted by the Jinyiwei and sent someone to destroy their faces."

Li Hong's voice was calm and his eyes were red and bloody.

"To be honest, I'm more optimistic about your brother. Whether it's a disfigure or a man who takes action, I probably don't know what your brother is doing!"

Zhou Yi carried Li Hong's collar and disappeared into the mountains and forests with several leaps.

...

Northern Xinjiang.

The deserted city.

You can tell that it is a bitter and cold place when you hear the name.

The exiled prisoners in Fengyang Kingdom are here, and there is an iron mine nearby, which is dug until death or amnesty.

The sound of horse hooves woke up the soldiers on duty.

"Stop!"

The soldiers drew their swords one after another and stopped the two roaring horses: "What are you doing in the deserted city?"

"Visit old friends."

Zhou Yi fell off the horse and lost two ingots of silver: "Huh? Brother, your silver has been lost!"

"ah?"

The city gate official has never encountered such a shameful person who bribes such a shameless official. Even if he doesn't have any face, he will be secretly handing over money and checking money.

Disgusting, even if it covers your face?

The city gate official despised him, but he moved quickly. He went up to pick up the silver and wiped it, and stuffed it into his arms: "Who is this gentleman looking for?"

Zhou Yi said: "I only know that the surname Wei, a native of Yuzhou, was from Chongming for about 36 years."

The city gate official dragged his long voice: "I have been thirty years old, but I don't know if I am still alive, but it's not easy to deal with!"

Zhou Yi's cuffs shook and two more ingots of silver fell off.

The city gate official said helplessly: "You go to the city to find Liu San. He is in charge of the miners from Yuzhou. As long as he is still alive, he will definitely find them."

Zhou Yi took out two ingots of silver from his arms: "Is there any way to meet and arrange some easy work?"

The city gate official only felt it was hot: "Then you have to go to the yamen to find a housekeeper and manage the business, and you can go to the yamen to work as a choreographer if you spend money."

Zhou Yi continued to hand over the money: "Are there anything else that needs attention?"

"Master, be generous!"

The city gate official patted his chest: "I will take you to do business, let alone looking for someone, or taking someone out of the deserted city."

Zhou Yi said in surprise: "Can you still take it away?"

"You don't understand this. If you can't take it away, how can those people die every year in the mine?"

The city gate official ordered his soldiers to stand guard and not let the thieves enter the city, so he took Zhou Yi and the others into the city.

There are broken walls in the city, and wild grass is growing on the streets, so even personal figures cannot be seen. The shops on both sides are empty, and the wind blows the broken windows and doors, and it makes a squeak and squeak like a ghost.

"We were originally the garrison of the border army, and it was quite prosperous back then. Now that the border army has gone to Yizhou, there is only an empty city left..."

The city gate official seemed to feel that the money was in a bad way, so he took the initiative to act as a tour guide, telling the historical changes of the deserted city.

"Look at the gathering of generals, the Duke of Zhenguo beats the drums here..."

"This tavern has fine wine from Shenjing. Every time the Duke of Zhenguo comes back from victory, he will come and drink it..."

“…”

Eighty or nine out of ten things said by the city gate officials were related to Duke Zhenguo. Only when they arrived in the northern border did they realize how famous Li Wu was and how far-reaching the influence was.

Li Hong followed what the city gate official said, and seemed to see his father gathering in the generals to take charge of soldiers and drinking in the tavern.

Zhou Yi patted Li Hong on the shoulder and sent a message: "Remember your elder brother's advice!"

Li Hong nodded slightly, restraining his emotions.

"Sir, don't worry, before Jin was innate, I changed my surname to Zhou."

The role of silver in the deserted city is even greater than Zhou Yi expected.

After being recommended by the city gate official, the housekeeper was very reasonable and offered a price directly.

"The one who is alive has one thousand taels, and the additional two hundred taels will be added to the household registration, so the only one who is a child is undeniable!"
