Eye spies from all over Qingfeng Village have discovered the imperial troops gathering outside.
Although Qingfeng Village was established in the three years since its establishment, the bandits have been encircled and suppressed by the imperial court many times.
Logically speaking, it's not weird at all.
But this time it was different. Judging from the formations assembled at the foot of the mountain, the number of imperial troops was unprecedented, with military generals as leaders, and the soldiers were fully armed and moved in an orderly manner.
Obviously, the imperial court is calling on the elite troops of the army this time.
In the entire Qingfeng Village, except for Wang Dali and a few people who have martial arts background, the rest of the bandits are just real bandits. They can deal with a few villagers and merchants, but they have to fight head-on with the well-trained imperial army.
, obviously not enough to fight. Moreover, the opponent also has an absolute advantage in numbers, more than twice the number of people in Qingfeng Village.
After receiving this news, the entire Qingfeng Village immediately fell into panic.
Wang Dali was anxious for several leaders to discuss matters in the camp to prepare for the imperial army that might come at any time.
Inside the camp, Wang Dali frowned and paced around, looking very nervous.
One person said: "What is going on? There has never been such a big battle before. Why did a regular army suddenly come this time?"
"Perhaps the imperial court has freed up its hands. After all, the fighting on the border has stopped. Does it want to settle accounts with us?"
"Didn't you listen to what Bai Song said? The people we let go before were killed! The head of the family didn't give any orders to kill, why did they die? Now that the court knows that our Qingfeng Village killed so many people, naturally it doesn't matter
I will turn a blind eye as before! Who is behind this? It has caused us such misery!"
Having said this, Shanhuai stood up coldly and said in front of everyone: "I killed the man!"
Everyone was startled and looked at Shanhuai: "Second Master?"
Wang Dali also stopped pacing and looked at Shanhuai: "It is indeed you! Why did you kill those people behind everyone's back? Have you forgotten what I said, we don't kill people?"
Shanhuai smiled coldly: "Master, we are gangsters. We are building a mountain village, not a charity hall. How can there be bandits who don't kill people? Killing a few people is nothing. Is it possible that the master still wants others to kill you?"
To be a good person? How many robberies have we done over the years? We have long been a den of heinous thieves outside, so what does it matter whether we kill people or not?"
Wang Dali walked up to Shanhuai step by step and stared into Shanhuai's eyes: "What I'm asking is why you kill people behind my back?"
Facing Wang Dali, Shanhuai showed no fear and replied calmly: "Because only in this way can we end all of you's unrealistic illusions! It's a big joke to say that you have to rob others in order to make a living!"
If you robbed it, it was robbed. Who cares why you were forced to do anything?
Now you have all seen that the imperial army may come in at any time. By then, we will all be dead. We have become the important criminals of the imperial court. Even if we escape today, the imperial court will still hunt us down. Now, in addition to finding
A patron who dares to be an enemy of the imperial court has no other way out."
Wang Dali half-squinted his eyes: "A patron who dares to be an enemy of the imperial court...you mean the Holy Lotus Sect?"
"Exactly! The Holy Lotus Sect is the only force in the world that dares to fight against the Li family. There are many heroes in the sect. If we join the Holy Lotus Sect, we will have support. Today's army is just like ants in the Holy Lotus Sect.
"
"I understand!" Wang Dali showed a look of surprise, "You have been bribed by the Holy Lotus Sect a long time ago, otherwise the people of the Holy Lotus Sect would not know so many things about me, my family affairs, and that I have been looking for
My brother, you are killing people behind my back just to let the court force me to a dead end and not hesitate to join the Holy Lotus Sect."
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero! If you want to make a name for yourself, you should know how to assess the situation. Everyone here has an ambition. I would like to ask one more question, which one of you here wants to stay here all your life?
Are you a bandit somewhere?"
Wang Dali clenched his fists: "I didn't know much about the Holy Lotus Sect before, but today I found out that the Holy Lotus Sect really used some good means to win over me, but they were all despicable things! Such actions must have evil intentions.
Only talented people will join! Although I, Wang Dali, are a bandit, I will not associate with low-level people!"
"Master, now is not the time for you to make a choice. You have no choice but to join the Holy Lotus Sect. You can escape to the ends of the earth, but what about the brothers in the village? Without the support of the Holy Lotus Sect, they will be arrested by the court sooner or later.
Catch him and kill him. If you don't think about yourself, you won't think about your brothers, right? They have been with you for three years."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Wang Dali.
Wang Dali can protect himself, but others cannot.
If they don't join the Holy Lotus Sect, they may have no fixed residence throughout their lives and may be arrested at any time.
What should they do?
With the mountain locust in mind, he continued: "Master, don't forget that your brother Wang Xiaohua is still in the Holy Lotus Sect. Don't you want your sister and brother to reunite? Also, if you don't join the Holy Lotus Sect, I'm afraid
Wang Xiaohua's life in the Holy Lotus Sect was not easy."
"Are you threatening me?"
"This is my statement to the leader on behalf of the Holy Lotus Sect. I hope that the leader can put the overall situation first. Now that we leave the village and escape from the forest, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Wang Dali pondered, the current situation did not give her any extra choice.
After thinking for a while, Wang Dali glared and asked again: "Is Wang Xiaohua really in the Holy Lotus Sect?"
"certainly!"
"Of course! Wang Xiaohua is in Donglai Restaurant in Jixian County!"
A voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the conversation of several people present.
Bai Song swaggered in with Mo Zhu, and Jian Shisan stood guard at the door, hugging the sword and closing his eyes.
"You...why are you back?!"
Everyone present recognized Bai Song, and instantly became nervous, pointing at Bai Song, but couldn't help but retreat.
Wang Dali frowned: "What are you doing back here?!"
Bai Song held his hands, walked to Shanhuai's side, and looked at Wang Dali: "I'm back to help you. It was indeed my mistake before. You did not order the killing. The murderer should be inside your village."
"Help me? Help me for what? Haven't you pretended enough in front of me? You obviously have a very human identity, but you have to pretend to be a scholar!"
"There are people from the imperial court outside now. If you don't prepare, I'm afraid they will all be trapped here."
"What does that have to do with you? You have also heard that I want to join the Holy Lotus Sect. With the protection of the Holy Lotus Sect, I will not be afraid of the court's pursuit."
"You also said that the Holy Lotus Sect is full of low-level people, and you will not associate with low-level people."
Wang Dali frowned: "Have you been eavesdropping outside?"
"It's just a coincidence that I listened to a few words by the way. I didn't expect that you are Wang Xiaohua's sister. This is really an unexpected gain."
"Do you know Xiaohua?"
"More than just acquaintance! Wang Xiaohua should be regarded as my first assistant. He is quite smart, has an amazing memory, and has a photographic memory."
"That's right! That's right! Xiaohua has a very good memory since she was a child, and she can remember everything she sees!" Wang Dali was greatly surprised, and then frowned, "But the people from the Holy Lotus Sect said that Xiaohua joined them."
"How is that possible? Now Wang Xiaohua is working as a storyteller at Donglai Restaurant in Jixian County. She hangs out with girls from various restaurants every day and is extremely busy. How could she join the Holy Lotus Sect? The Holy Lotus Sect knows that Wang Xiaohua is your biological brother.
In order to win over you, why didn't they bring Wang Xiaohua with them? Obviously, everything they said was a lie to you, and they couldn't hand over Wang Xiaohua at all."
"I...why should I believe you?"
"Haha, this is not easy. Why don't you just go to Donglai Restaurant in Jixian County to find him?"
Wang Dali frowned and couldn't believe it.
Behind him, Mo Zhu dragged a stool in the tent and sat down. He crossed his legs and held a bamboo leaf in his mouth casually. But everyone here has seen how powerful this woman is. She can easily defeat a big enemy with her powerful skills.
The master's hammer.
No one dares to provoke such a woman, so they all stay away.
Mo Zhu interrupted and said: "I have seen Wang Xiaohua. She looks gentle and pretty, similar to Dongjia, but in her heart she has the same virtues as Dongjia and is a pervert. However, Dongjia is bright and coquettish, while Xiaohua is boring.
Sao, it’s a little different.”
Bai Song's face darkened, and he turned back to wait for Mo Zhu: "Shut up, no one will treat you as a mute!"
"Xiaohua is really...really in Jixian?"
Bai Song turned his head and looked at the locust tree on one side: "What do you think? Is Wang Xiaohua in Jixian County or in the Holy Lotus Sect?"
Bai Song is very confident that Ji County now has a dark network belonging to Bai Song. Wang Xiaohua is very safe in Ji County. Whenever someone from the Holy Lotus Sect appears, Bai Song will receive the news immediately.
Moreover, the Holy Lotus Sect knew that the great master Xuan Pu was in charge, and even the leader did not dare to approach, so it was impossible for the Holy Lotus Sect to capture Wang Xiaohua in Jixian County.
Shanhuai didn't want Bai Song to turn back halfway, and the appearance of this person had already disrupted his plan.
All six envoys of the Holy Lotus Sect have died in the hands of the Bai Song guards. What does it mean for him to be the second master of a copycat village?
Seeing Bai Song's eyes, Shanhuai felt an unprecedented threat. He didn't even bother to answer, and struck first. He suddenly walked around behind Bai Song and grabbed Bai Song's neck.
"Get out of the way! Get out of my way, otherwise I will kill this kid!"
"Shanhuai! What are you going to do?!" Wang Dali was shocked and subconsciously wanted to step forward.
Shanhuai grabbed Bai Song tightly and shouted: "Back off! Do you hear me, or I will strangle this kid's neck!"
Wang Dali was sweating anxiously, but he didn't dare to come any closer and lowered his voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Shanhuaili ignored it and turned to stare at Mo Zhu: "That woman holding the bamboo, get out of here! Otherwise, I will strangle your master to death!"
Mo Zhu didn't make any movement, nor was he nervous at all. He still sat cross-legged, but he spat out the bamboo leaves and said nonchalantly: "Then just strangle him to death."
