In fact, when he was in the mountain village last night, Qin Zhong didn't have much dislike for this bitch. A bandit, but he was very concerned about the safety of a woman. At that time, he left Qin Zhong and ran away directly. There is still compassion in a person's heart
How bad can he be with his heart?
Now that I know the reason why he fell into the grass, I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Becoming a bandit seems to have become a profession in the Song Dynasty. Whether it is the common people or the military, there are so many people who are forced to occupy the mountains and become kings. It is even an exaggeration to say that on every mountain top, there are people who build strongholds;
The rivers and lakes are all occupied by strong men.
There is no choice, the world is not letting people live. The land of the common people is occupied by the powerful, and they are reduced to tenants to work day and night, but they cannot support their families. There are many factions in the army, and they suppress dissidents at all costs, withhold military pay, and kill at every turn. No
Why?
Interestingly, officers and soldiers rarely succeed in suppressing bandits. Most of them are defeated by bandits.
Are the bandits stronger? Or are the officers and soldiers too weak? No one can explain this question. However, there are more and more bandits in the world.
Therefore, some officials in the court proposed that they could recruit bandits and then order the recruited bandits to suppress the bandits. The reason was very good. The court only gave them a status, but it could make the place peaceful. Moreover, the more casualties the two sides had in battle, the greater the
The more beneficial it is to the court.
As the saying goes, committing murder and arson and being recruited has become the ultimate goal of Jianghu Green Forest.
There are more and more people like this in the army. They want food and pay, and they often cause chaos. They bully the people, and they go to the battlefield and flee. This is also the reason why literati, officials, and even the people hate the army. The imperial court
There is nothing we can do about it, we can't rectify it, and we dare not let it go.
It could only be maintained by spending money and food, but it gradually turned into a cancer, gnawing at the foundation of the Song Dynasty.
Qin Chong had the memory of later generations and knew that the battle between Song and Xia was coming soon. The three battles in which he devoted all his national power all ended in failure. Looking at history, we can see that all the famous civil servants and generals have shined through the ages, but why can't they win one?
Little Xixia?
In countless battles, the generals rush to the front and fight to the death, but the soldiers have already fled. How to fight this battle?
In the Song Dynasty, soldiers and generals were two completely different classes. Generals would receive favors from the emperor, serve the court, and find a wife and son. Soldiers were just for food. Who would lose their life for a rice bowl? The superiors did not take this seriously.
If a soldier is respected by others, a soldier will naturally not risk his life to follow him.
This is the endless cycle of the Song Dynasty. From Qin Zhong's perspective, there is no solution to this matter.
At this time, footsteps and kicking came from outside the cave, and there were quite a few people there. The two bandits showed joy on their faces, and they opened their mouths to shout. But when they caught a glimpse of Qin Chong's eyes, they looked as sharp as if they wanted to kill someone, and they immediately shrank their necks.
, the words that reached my lips were swallowed alive.
Qin Zhong stood up and looked at the entrance of the cave quietly, waiting for someone to come in.
The entrance to the cave suddenly darkened, and Gouzi walked into the cave first. Behind him were four or five people, who looked like they were all from Black Tiger Village.
When Gouzi first saw Qin Zhong, his steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes were full of surprise. He didn't feel panic at all. He glanced around the cave and saw the two bandits lying on the ground. He already understood what happened. Look again
When he looked at Qin Zhong, he couldn't help but laugh jokingly.
"Since you are loosened, why don't you run away quickly?" Gouzi asked.
"I asked something, I was delayed." Qin Chong also looked at Gouzi and spoke casually.
"It happens that I'm here, you have no chance to escape." Gouzi said, walking towards Qin Zhong.
"That's not necessarily the case." Qin Zhong smiled slightly, touched his fists in his palms, and took a fighting stance.
The Gouzi man was tall and tall, half a head taller than Qin Zhong. He stepped over and punched him.
Qin Zhong did not evade a direct punch, but he struck first and was much faster than Gouzi. Gouzi was stunned and had been punched on the nose. Denden stepped back several steps and raised his head to cover his head.
I held my nose, and tears and nosebleeds came out.
"Ah." The dog was so embarrassed that he yelled and rushed over again.
This time, Qin Zhong turned slightly sideways, stepped forward and got close to Gouzi's body, raising one arm across the body. With a "bang" sound, Gouzi lay on the ground sprawled out as if he had been hit hard. He sat up and shook his head.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Zhong blankly. He couldn't figure out how he was thrown down.
"Come again." Qin Zhong looked down at Gouzi and raised his hands at Gouzi.
"I don't believe it." Gouzi jumped up and rushed towards Qin Zhong again. However, this time he learned to be smart and punched out, but he still had enough energy.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhong changed his fighting style. In an instant, he half-twirled his body and followed the trend with a sharp side kick.
"Ah." Gouzi's eyes blurred, and he was kicked out with great force. The pain in his chest was unbearable, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain. He hit the mountain wall with a thud, and fell to the ground with a thud.
.I curled up like a shrimp, unable to stand up at all.
"How are you doing? Do you want to fight?" Qin Zhong walked over slowly and leaned over to look at Gouzi.
"Hiss." Gouzi tried to stand up, but he gasped in pain. After waiting for a long time, he raised his head and asked, "What trick did you use?"
"Fighting skills." Qin Zhong said calmly.
"Fighting skills? What kind of martial arts is this? I've never heard of it." Gouzi's eyes were filled with confusion.
"There are so many martial arts schools in the world. How many of them have you seen?" Qin Zhong said with disdain, deliberately irritating Gou Zi. Sure enough, Gou Zi blushed immediately after hearing this, and glared at Qin Zhong fiercely, but he didn't
When he struck again, Gu Zi gasped in anger.
"The world outside the mountain is very big. What's fighting skills? It's just close combat. There are countless martial arts skills that are more powerful than this." Qin Zhong knelt down, stared into Gouzi's eyes, and said slowly, "Learn a skill."
"Wouldn't it be better to fight on the battlefield and find a wife and a son?"
"Seal your wife as your shadow?" Gouzi understands this sentence, and it is often said by the big bosses recently.
"What's the point of being a bandit? Your parents are all ashamed of you." Qin Zhong mentioned Gouzi's parents and instantly angered him. "You're talking nonsense." Gouzi seemed to have a hairy hair, turned over and jumped up, roaring with red eyes.
With a sound, he punched Qin Zhong in the chest.
"Bang." A punch hit Qin Zhong's chest. Qin Zhong did not dodge or resist, and took the punch from Gouzi.
"You? Why don't you hide?" The dog hit Qin Zhong, but stopped in surprise.
"With such a soft fist, what's the difference between hiding and not hiding?" Qin Zhong said, turning around and exposing his back to Gouzi's eyes.
Gouzi was originally angry with Qin Zhong for being mean, but when he saw him turning around, he raised his fist and put it down weakly. Not only in Black Tiger Village, but also in eight villages ten miles away, who would dare to say that his Gouzi's fist was soft? It was Qin Zhong.
, three punches and two kicks knocked him down, leaving him helpless.
"What do you want?" Gouzi gritted his teeth for a long time and asked in a sullen voice.
"Come with me." Qin Zhong turned around suddenly and looked at Gouzi sincerely. "I will teach you fighting skills."
"Fighting skills? Are you willing to teach me?" Gouzi is a little enthusiastic. He has personally experienced the power of fighting skills. If he is not excited, it is a lie.
"Not only fighting skills," Qin Zhong said seductively, "I can teach you everything from spears and sticks to horseback shooting, art of war, and tactics."
"Who are you?" Qin Zhong's words shocked Gouzi, who finally doubted Qin Zhong's identity. How could an ordinary person say these words?
"Secretary of the bodyguard Ma Junsi, ten generals of the Xiaoqi camp stationed in Shayuan, Qin Chong." Qin Chong did not hide anything and announced his identity in one breath.
"You? Are you a member of the Imperial Guard?" This time, not only Gouzi but also all the bandits in the cave were startled.
"That's right." Qin Zhong continued, "You have divine power, it's a pity to waste it in a bandit's den. Come with me, fight on the battlefield and make achievements. When you return to your hometown in the future, you can also honor your ancestors. Only in this way can you be worthy of your own.
Mom and Dad."
"Yeah." Gouzi fell silent, lowering his head as if hesitating and having trouble making a choice.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you." Qin Zhong said quietly, his eyes shining.
"What words?"
"If you want to take revenge, you have to become an official." Qin Zhong said, "Only when you have power can you fight against power."
Gouzi suddenly looked at Qin Chong. These words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Gouzi's mind, making him tremble all over. For more than two years and seven hundred days and nights, the thought of revenge was like a devil.
, biting him, he never had a moment of peace. But the opponent was so powerful that he had no way to take revenge.
Qin Chong's words were like lighting up a lamp in his confused heart.
"Plop." Gouzi knelt down heavily and clasped his fists and said, "I will follow you and follow you for the rest of my life and never look back."
"Stand up and speak." Qin Zhong looked sharply and shouted, "My Qin Zhong brothers will not kneel to anyone except their parents."
Gouzi's eyes turned red, and he slowly stood up and bowed to Qin Zhong. His heart was so agitated that tears overflowed from his eyes involuntarily. Qin Zhong looked at Gouzi in front of him. He was still the same person, but his energy and spirit were completely different.
. He solemnly clasped his fists and bowed in return.
"From now on, state your surname openly and honestly, without insulting your parents or ancestors." Qin Chong said.
"Lang Zongyu is willing to follow brother Qin and share weal and woe, life and death." Gouzi shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.
"Good brother." Qin Zhong grabbed Lang Zongyu's arm and said solemnly, "We share weal and woe, life and death."
By this time, all the bandits in the cave were stunned and speechless. Looking at Qin Chong and Gouzi, everyone showed envy. Who doesn't have the desire for a confidant in their heart? Who,
Don’t you want your friends to share weal and woe, life and death?
Everyone longs for this kind of friendship, but not everyone can achieve it.
"You go back and report to the master, I'm leaving." Lang Zongyu looked at the people at the entrance of the cave and said, "The kindness of taking you in will be repaid one day."
"Brother Gouzi, are you really leaving?" Some people can't believe that you just followed them away with just a few words?
"Yes, Brother Gouzi, the boss treats you well."
"Brother Qin, let's go." Lang Zongyu ignored everyone and stepped aside to get out of the way, asking Qin Zhong to go first.
"Let's go." Qin Chong said and walked out of the cave. Lang Zongyu followed behind him with a determined attitude.
When I walked out of the cave, the blazing sun shone down on my head, and I immediately felt a burning sensation. Looking up, I saw towering peaks and dense green trees on the opposite side. After scanning around, I found that I was in a river valley, but
It is a river bed that has long since dried up and is exposed.
There were many tents set up on the river bed, and it was very busy with people coming and going. Many caves were dug out on the mountain wall on my side, and people were constantly going in and out with carts, loading large and small stones.
The lumps are dark brown in color and must be saltpeter.
"Are these people from Black Tiger Village?" Qin Zhong asked.
"No." Lang Zongyu stammered and said sheepishly, "They were all caught nearby."
"Oh?" Qin Chong was not too surprised. Isn't it natural for bandits to arrest people for work? "Did they also arrest the people from Shanglongquan Village?"
The mountain village where Qin Chong stayed was called Shanglongquan, and there was also Xialongquan across the river. I heard that the two villages were originally one village, but they split into two villages because of a river that turned against each other.
To this day, they are still fighting for water and land every year.
"Only the men were arrested, but the women were not moved," Lang Zongyu said. "Should we let them go back?"
"Yeah." Qin Zhong nodded without saying anything, and walked towards the tent. Several of the bandits who were following him ran away, probably to report the news to the village. Qin Zhong glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously.
Son, just go forward.
There were guards along the road, each with a sword or a gun. Seeing the dog accompanying Qin Chong, he did not stop him and let them pass.
"This is the Beishan River Valley, and across the mountain is the Black Tiger Village." Lang Zongyu pointed to the mountain peaks in the distance and said.
"What's the reputation of Black Tiger Village?" Qin Zhong asked.
"How can a bandit have a good reputation?" Lang Zongyu said, "However, the boss has rules. You can rob food, money, and people, but you are not allowed to kill people."
"Well, there's a bottom line." Qin nodded and approached the tent.
There were a lot of people near the tent, and all of them looked haggard and haggard, obviously working too hard in the mine. Qin Zhong wanted to find someone to ask questions, but when the people around him saw them, they immediately hid away in panic. Qin Zhong suddenly thought
