Qingyang County has beautiful mountains and rivers, and has excellent climate and scenery. The mountains stand tall and towering ancient trees, and the beauty of primitiveness is the most beautiful.
However, things are divided into two parts. Although the scenery of the deep mountains and forests is convenient for the robbers and robbers to "hide and seek" with the officers and soldiers.
In Qingyang County, there is a robber hidden in a mountain called "Just Club". They usually hide deep in the mountains and specifically plunder passersby. During the harvest season, they will also come out and plunder nearby villages.
This bandit bandit is called the "White Bandit Gang" and their leader is called "Zhou Bailong".
Speaking of this "Zhou Bailong", he is also a well-known figure in the Qingyang County area. When he was young, he was also a suave "scholar" and even almost got admitted to the academy.
However, a subsequent change changed his life.
The Beiyang Dynasty's official appointment, removal and selection system was extremely imperfect and extremely unscientific. The method it adopted was to "father dies and sons succeed, brothers dies and brothers dies." In this way, the officials produced were often mediocre, except for the first generation.
These mediocre talents do not do well in governing the local area and developing the economy. But when it comes to flying eagles and lackeys and bullying men and women, they are their strengths.
Before Licang, the county magistrate of Qingyang County was a "fourth generation ancestor" named "Shake". His only hobby was to force the robbery of the people.
Nashake even absurdly stipulated that in the "Qingyang County Town", before the daughter of a family's family got married, the sedan chair must be parked in his county government for three days before being allowed to be sent to the groom.
As for what he did during these three days, everyone knows it.
Under Sha Ke's forced, many families secretly organized the marriage before sending the bride to the county government.
Sha Ke's men have a strange team called "Soumei Team". On weekdays, if you don't do anything else, you will specifically help Sha Ke find "beauties". Although Qingyang County is large, under Sha Ke's search, almost a beautiful woman can't escape his claws. It's really outrageous.
However, Zhou Bailong has a childhood sweetheart wife who rarely goes out. However, when Zhou Bailong entered Beijing to apply for the academy, Zhou Bailong's mother was seriously ill and had no choice but to go out to get medicine.
That day, by chance, Sha Ke went out and happened to meet Zhou Bailong's wife.
When Sha Ke saw the beauty, his vulgar heart became restless. Zhou Bailong's wife was captured and brought to the county government office, but the woman was extremely strong and committed suicide in order to preserve her reputation.
Zhou Bailong passed the exam in one fell swoop and went home to report the good news, but heard such bad news. In anger, he gathered dozens of neighbors who had been bullied by Sha Ke for a long time and rushed into the county government with a steel knife.
Those who can be admitted to the Imperial City Academy are definitely all dragons and phoenixes among people. At that time, Zhou Bailong was already a low-level mysterious spirit and still had the ability to "fight beyond the level".
In Zhou Bailong's anger, all the people in the county government who usually do evil with Sha Ke were beheaded for two sections. Sha Ke's head was also hung on the gate of the county government.
Zhou Bailong brought people to gather in the mountains and forests.
That year, Zhou Bailong was twenty years old.
It was also because of this that Li Cang, Ge Liang and others who were seriously injured were appointed here...
Time flies, twenty years.
Over the past twenty years, Zhou Bailong has lived in the mountains and forests, and his personality has changed drastically. He has changed from hating officials at the beginning to hating all the military and civilians outside the mountain.
His personality is incomplete, which leads to his character becoming cruel.
He began to kill, cruel, just like Sha Ke back then, and hated.
Li Cang and Lei Wu sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy many times, but due to terrain problems, they all ended in failure. Zhou Bailong continued to "free and easy" in the deep mountains for several years.
The gangsters, wanted criminals near Qingyang County, and prisoners who committed serious crimes fled to "Jiguanshan" and became members of the "White Bandit Gang".
As a result, "Jiguanshan" and "White Bandits" became a nightmare in the hearts of people in Qingyang County.
......
......
The morning light is dim.
A funeral team slowly walked out of the city gate.
This day was the day when Li Cang was buried.
Six big men, carrying Li Cang's coffin, walked at the front of the team. Li Mo followed behind the coffin, looking sad. There were nearly a hundred people in the team, all wearing white clothes.
In the green forest, the white funeral procession was like a long snow-colored dragon, spreading from the city gate to the suburbs.
The coffin fell heavily, and the moment the men filled the soil, Li Mo's gaze blurred again.
Ye Junlin was wearing white clothes and stood behind Li Mo, with a cold expression, which was very contrasting with the scene at this time.
The coffin is buried in the soil and the tombstone stands.
Even if a person has once dominated the world and looked down on the sky, at the moment of death, his fame, profit, sorrow, joy, love, and hatred are just a ray of dust on the coffin...
Li Mo knelt in front of the tomb, and then nearly a hundred people dressed in white all knelt down.
When you kowtow and get up, you declare the end of a person's life.
......
......
The sound of horse hooves comes from afar, like a brisk drum sound.
Ye Junlin raised his head and looked towards the distant forest. He saw thousands of riders galloping in the waves of the forest. Their hairstyles were noisy, their clothes were noisy, and their weapons were noisy.
Such a team is naturally not a regular border army.
Then they are naturally the White Bandits.
Ye Junlin showed a hint of contempt on his face: Zhou Bailong was also a person who had read books. How could he manage his subordinates so chaotic, like a group of mobs?
Oh, no, they were a mob.
The horse's hooves were raised, and the splashed dust drifted everywhere.
Li Mo looked at the Thousand Riders' "White Bandits" gang members who were driving towards him, without a trace of fear on his face.
However, some people in the funeral team were already panicked, especially those female members. The "White Bandit Gang" was notorious and deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Qingyang County and difficult to erase.
Li Mo glanced at Lei Wu, as if he had a look.
Lei Wu knew it and waved a bright red flag to Qingyang County.
The sound of horse hooves rang out again, this time it started in the city.
The 700 well-equipped "Yuejun Army" rushed out of the city, with green clothes, green armor, and green spears. The uniform movements and unified equipment and armor were very eye-catching.
This cavalry is the entire military force of the "Qingyang County Town". Although there are only 700 cavalry, it is not at all inferior to the "White Bandit Gang" against the 1,500 cavalry.
The cavalry approached, with the funeral team as the boundary, confronting north and south.
At the forefront of the gang members of the "White Bandits" was a half-old warrior who looked like a scholar, standing in the wind.
This person is Zhou Bailong, wearing white clothes, riding a white horse, and holding a white fan. Although he has been a bandit for many years, the scholar's anger still exists.
Li Mo looked at him without any cowardice.
The two destined to fight to the death were confronted, but no spark was created.
When the two sides were about to face each other for half a stick of incense, Zhou Bailong smiled. Then, he took his team and left suddenly.
There was no shouting, no curse, and no fighting.
Everything came and left quietly.
No one understood what Zhou Bailong’s move meant. In fact, even Zhou Bailong himself didn’t know why he came and why he left...
