A group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared, and the little red wolf was seriously injured. In shock, all the men and horses brought by the little red wolf were killed in a blink of an eye.
Except for two or three people who fled back, everyone else was lying on the ground.
Tie Mo carried the machete and stepped on the little red wolf's chest. Seeing that the little red wolf was still humming, he felt a little depressed.
The quality of the firecrackers these days is really not that good. One shot to the head didn't kill anyone.
No wonder the Ming Dynasty frontier troops still like to use cold weapons even though they have firearms. With such lethality, no one would like them.
"Hiss...who are you..."
Tie Mo slammed the machete in his hand on the ground and glared: "Little Red Riding Hood, we are here to rob, please cooperate!"
The little red wolf was already in severe pain, and when he heard this, he felt even more aggrieved and panicked.
You want to commit robbery and you ask me to cooperate with you. Do you think I'm stupid?
"Bah.....Are you Xiao Huangying, that bitch?"
"No matter what you think, please cooperate! Come on, send Little Red Riding Hood down the mountain, send a letter to the checkpoint, and ask them to redeem the person!"
Two people came up, put some herbs on the little red wolf's face, and tied him up.
Xie Gao tugged on Tie Mo's sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Brother, it's the Little Red Wolf, not Little Red Riding Hood!"
"Xiao Hong...Wolf? What kind of nickname can't be used? You have to call me this name!"
Tie Mo patted his forehead in distress. Although he knew it in his heart, he kept saying "Cha Pi".
Little Red Wolf, why don’t you call me Big Bad Wolf?
After taking two steps into the forest, Tie Mo glanced at the confused boy from the corner of his eye and pointed at him with his machete.
"Brother, what's your name? Do you want to stay and kill the bandits with us?"
"Little brother Zhou Dingshan!"
Zhou Dingshan stood up with difficulty, holding on to the pine tree, somewhat hesitantly.
Who are these people, whether they are soldiers or not, whether they are bandits or not?
"Zhou Dingshan? I see you are quite capable of fighting. I will give you a chance. As long as you are capable, my brother will give you a small flag!"
Tie Mo's expression remained unchanged, and the old god was boasting. Xie Jiala's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt a little panicked.
No matter how small the flag is, it is still an official. How can a general flag make such promises casually?
Zhou Dingshan swallowed his saliva and carefully looked at the machete man in front of him. In the end, he still didn't believe it.
"Are you an officer?"
"Of course, a certain Tiemo, Wanquan Zuowei General Banner, and Anzhuang Fort Armor Commander. They came to Baiyao Mountain this time just to kill a few bandits!"
Zhou Dingshan's chest rose and fell, and he felt an urge to laugh. But thinking of his father's death, he really couldn't laugh.
Wanquan Zuowei General Banner, the leader of a small guard unit, opened his mouth and promised to give others a small banner. Thanks to you for having the nerve to say it, people who don't know would think you are a certain general.
Zhou Dingshan has little confidence in Tie Mo. Two years ago, soldiers from a nearby guard station suppressed bandits, killing even a hundred households in his own family. There was no hope for a small general banner.
"Chief Iron...can you hand over the little red wolf to me? My father died in his hands, and I must kill this person..."
Xie Kaila was furious and snorted angrily: "Zhou, are you crazy about gains and losses? I'll give you the little red wolf, hehe, do you know how great a military achievement it is to kill the little red wolf with your hands?"
Zhou Dingshan had a dejected look on his face. He didn't think too much when he spoke. After Xie Kela said it, he realized how excessive his request was.
The soldiers at the guard station were all miserable, and they relied on their military exploits to earn food and drink. What's more, the little red wolf who was the leader of the thieves was captured alive, but he asked others to let the little red wolf out, which was really too much.
"Humph, I saved your life in vain. We really think we owe it to you!"
Zhou Dingshan frowned and said anxiously: "No... I just want to avenge my father..."
"Hey, your father's death has nothing to do with us..."
Before Xie Kaila could continue speaking, Tie Mo stopped him with his hand, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Avenging your father, being sincere and filial are all things you should do. It's not impossible to leave Little Red Riding Hood to you, but there is a
condition."
"What conditions?"
"Come and serve as a soldier under me. Otherwise, I won't be able to convince the brothers to give you the little red wolf!"
Zhou Dingshan frowned and looked at Tie Mo angrily.
Zhou Dingshan is young, but that doesn't mean he has no experience. When you want to be a soldier, it depends on what kind of soldier you are.
There is a world of difference between recruiting soldiers and soldiers at the garrison. Zhou Dingshan had never thought of serving as a sergeant under the general banner of the garrison in his life.
One side was thinking about his future, and the other was avenging his father. After hesitating for a while, Zhou Dingshan finally gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly.
"OK!"
"Okay, when we get down from the mountain, I'll hand the little red wolf over to you, and you can chop it as you like!"
Zhou Dingshan was a little stunned, he really didn't expect the other party to agree so happily.
.....
After going down the mountain and arriving at the dilapidated yard where they lived temporarily, Tie Mo pushed the little red wolf to Zhou Dingshan.
Without saying a word, Zhou Dingshan dragged the little red wolf outside the courtyard and shot him to the core.
The little red wolf's limbs were spread wide, and his eyes were bulging unwillingly. The spear pierced his chest, and blood flowed into a pool. Zhou Dingshan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times towards the north.
"Dad, I have avenged you. Please forgive me for being unfilial. I don't want to go back to Shouyang."
Standing up and drawing out his spear, Zhou Dingshan cupped his hands towards Tie Mo, turned around and walked away. The golden sunlight shone on his back, dragging the shadow of loneliness.
Xie Kaila and others were immediately anxious. Several people immediately wanted to rush over and stop Zhou Dingshan, but they were all blocked by Tie Mo.
Seeing Zhou Dingshan's back disappearing from the field of vision, Han Niuer stamped his feet bitterly.
"Brother Tie, why did you let Zhou go? Zhou had promised to serve you before, but now the little red wolf has given it to him. He killed someone and turned around and left. What's the point...
"
"Don't be anxious, wait and see!"
Tie Mo squinted his eyes and looked calm.
As noon approached, there was still no sign of Zhou Dingshan, and Xie Kaela and others could not help but curse.
.......
Several carriages came slowly, and a young man sat on the carriage with his eyes closed looking tired.
Tie Mo stood up, with a happy smile finally showing on his face.
The carriage stopped, Zhou Dingshan jumped out of the car, signaled to the three followers to wait, and walked quickly towards Tie Mo.
"You kid is indeed back!"
Zhou Dingshan also admired Tie Mo a little at this time. He deliberately left without saying goodbye just to see Tie Mo's reaction.
The calmness and heroic spirit shown by Tie Mo was beyond Zhou Dingshan's expectations.
"Sir Iron, aren't you afraid that I'll never come back?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. Even if you leave and never come back, Tie will have nothing to lose. If you cut off the little red wolf's head, you can still ask for credit!"
Tie Mo's words were so true that they actually made Zhou Dingshan feel that he was a bit stupid.
However, this seemingly honest and honest General Tie Qi is definitely not stupid at all.
"I left before and found the convoy after following the car tracks for a long time. However, these three were the only ones willing to follow me as soldiers. I didn't force the others and let them return to Shouyang."
"You did the right thing, you came and went voluntarily, but are these three left behind reliable? Under my hands, you will have to endure all kinds of hardships and fatigue, and you may lose your life at any time!"
Zhou Dingshan's slightly childish face showed a bit of ruthlessness, and he nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Chief Tie. These three people are my father's apprentices, brothers who have been killed. Since you have become a soldier, you have to keep your head in your belt. No matter what the outcome is in the future, we will never have any regrets."
Complain."
"Very well, Dingshan, let me ask you a question. Are you willing to serve as a soldier under me?"
Zhou Dingshan almost didn't think about it, curled his lips and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to, if I become a soldier, I will go to Datong Mansion or Xuan Mansion to become an elite. With the skills of our brothers, we will be good materials wherever we go. But...
..Be a man of your word and keep your word..."
Tie Mo slowly relaxed his right hand holding the knife, and the smile on his face became much gentler. If Zhou Dingshan said "yes", Tie Mo would send him on his way without hesitation.
Young, inconsistent, and brave, this kind of person is absolutely unacceptable.
