Lu Fang stayed in the Youxian County Government Office, transcribing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in his room. Looking at the system prompts in his head, he felt a little puzzled.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy Jiang Zimo to suddenly give himself so much hatred.
Little did he know that Jiang Zimo was staying in the bandits' den in Hutou Mountain and thinking about him.
These bandits all live together, with several people in each room. They usually don't pay attention to hygiene, so the environment can be imagined.
The air in the room was filled with a sour smell.
Although Jiang Zimo has never experienced what it means to live a superior life, such an environment also makes him a little overwhelmed.
And this errand was sent by Lu Fang. Of course, he would only feel resentment towards Lu Fang.
After a long while, nothing happened in my mind.
Lu Fang looked at the hatred value.
Oops!
Good guy!
In a short period of time, Jiang Zimo actually gained more than 400 points for himself.
Now, the hatred value has accumulated to 4,000 points.
Most of them were obtained when the Chaling Army borrowed troops.
However, the experience value of the Blood Sea Miao Sect is only 15%, and even these hatred values are not enough to break through.
It will take at least two days.
…
Three days passed quickly.
Lu Fang didn't even go out of the Youxian County Government Office for the past three days. He just stayed in his room and copied Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Naturally, the recruitment of soldiers did not need to be handled by his younger brother, the county magistrate, as it was handled by the county officials.
I just heard that the effect is not very good.
The young men in You County were not enthusiastic about being drafted into the army.
The main reason is that these soldiers are only temporary soldiers, rural soldiers in nature, and will be demobilized after the bandits are suppressed.
Youxian County Government cannot support so many people.
No one is willing to put their head in their belt to earn such a small amount of money.
Lu Fang had no other choice but to suggest Lu Liang introduce a reward policy. After joining the army, each bandit would receive five taels of silver in his head.
But even so, it didn't achieve very good results.
We can only take our time.
In terms of cultivation, I have not yet fully mastered the Blood Sea Wonderful Sect. The main reason is that I am not willing to use up all the hatred points.
In terms of achievement, I have copied all the remaining volumes of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.
Early that morning, Lu Fang drove out with Zhu'er, Chen Youxi and Lao Xiao.
Return to Ningyuan County.
It’s May 27th.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days have passed since they left Ningyuan. Tomorrow is the day when Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun will get married, and Lu Fang will definitely be there.
The carriage left the Youxian County Government Office, exited from the north gate of Youxian County, and headed straight for Ningyuan County.
If we hurry up, we can reach Ningyuan before sunset.
Lao Xiao was driving in front, and Lu Fang was reading in the carriage. There were snacks and fruits on the desk, and there were Chen Youxi and Zhu'er waiting on them. It was very pleasant.
Within an hour, we arrived at Wuji Town, north of You County.
It's said to be a town, but it's actually just a street.
People from several surrounding villages shop here for daily necessities.
Looking at the scene, it looks like Lu Fang was "going to the market" in the village in his previous life.
Many vendors placed various products on the ground, shouting and shouting. On the contrary, the shops seemed more deserted.
The carriage finally passed through Wuji Town.
Going further north, it quickly became deserted after leaving the town. There were woods on both sides of the official road, and there was no human habitation in sight.
There were not many passers-by in sight.
The carriage seemed a little lonely.
Only a few miles.
"stop!"
Two people suddenly jumped out from behind the thorns in the woods and blocked the road.
In his hand was a shining knife.
"Hush!"
Old Xiao reined in his horse, his expression unchanged, still half-asleep and half-awake. He turned back and rushed into the carriage and said, "Young master, there is a calamity."
Naturally, Lu Fang heard the sounds outside. He was stunned, put down the book in his hand, and poked his head out of the car.
This bandit...
If he wasn't holding a knife in his hand, he would look no different from ordinary people.
I didn't meet these guys on my way to You County, but I did on my way back to Ningyuan.
He touched his nose and asked, "What are you two brothers?"
"Where did it come from?"
A bandit said.
It's not exactly an evil spirit.
Lu Fang smiled apologetically and said, "He's from You County."
"Where are you from?"
The bandit asked again.
Lu Fang answered honestly, "My hometown is Ningyuan, and now I am making a living in You County."
"Striving for a living in Youxian? Then you can be considered half a Youxian person."
The bandit put away his knife carelessly, "In that case, my brothers won't make things difficult for you. Seeing that you are quite rich, I will let you go if I come down to make a deal with my brothers."
Are bandits so easy to talk to?
Not robbing the locals?
Lu Fang couldn't help but be stunned, "What kind of deal?"
The bandit just said: "You will know when you come down."
Lu Fang looked back at Chen Youxi and Zhu'er, and jumped out of the carriage.
Lao Xiao also jumped out of the car and followed quietly.
The two bandits didn't seem to be afraid of them running away. They led the way and led Lu Fang and Lao Xiao into the woods.
Lu Fang couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Brothers, don't you rob the locals?"
Lao Xiao secretly rolled his eyes from behind.
This silly boy!
If you ask this question, aren't you waiting for others to rob him?
The bandit in front looked disapproving, turned around and sneered: "It depends on who the person is and the mood of the brothers. You are lucky. Today, the brothers did not come down the mountain to rob the road. If it is normal,
But that’s not certain. But I see that you are quite sensible, so don’t worry. If you are sensible, our brothers won’t be in too much trouble.”
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Lu Fang said with a smile.
If you're not here to rob, what else can you do?
After walking in the woods for several minutes, a scene appeared in front of him that shocked him.
A dozen bandits armed with swords and guns formed a circle.
One of them was sitting on a big stone with his legs crossed and chewing a white radish in his mouth.
Inside the circle are a dozen sacks.
There was still squirming in the bag.
It seems to be a human being.
There was also an honest-looking farmer in his thirties, with his trousers rolled up, standing in the middle of the crowd.
He had no shoes on and his trouser legs were still covered in yellow mud. He must have just come out of the fields.
He was looking carefully at the sacks.
"Boss, here comes a fat sheep."
Said one of the two bandits who led Lu Fang and Lao Xiao over.
"Pooh!"
The bandit sitting on the stone spit out a piece of radish skin and looked at Lu Fang, "It's fair. It's a pity that our brother didn't come down to catch the sheep today."
As he said this, he said impatiently to the farmer: "Have you picked it yet? Why is it so stained?"
"It'll be fine soon, just be good at horseback riding."
The farmer nodded and bowed.
The leading bandit glanced at Lu Fang again and said, "When he finishes picking, this guy will buy all the rest. Damn it, it's hot today, so hurry up and finish your work and go back to the mountain."
Lu Fang was stunned, "What to buy?"
The bandit who seemed very talkative turned around and chuckled at him: "What else can I buy? Of course I want to buy women."
He pointed to the sacks on the ground and said, "Ten taels of silver each. I'm going to give you a big advantage today. I'll pack them up and sell them to you."
