Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 143 The Friends Are Shocked (Part [-])

Nani?The bandits were wiped out! ?

Zhang Tong was dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at the sky... Uh, the sun hasn't set yet, and Yang Menglong started talking in his sleep?He said seriously: "Yang Qianhu, you can't make this joke!"

Yang Menglong said angrily: "How many times do I have to tell you to remember that I am the commander of Wuyang Guard, not Qianhu!"

Zhang Tong said: "Okay, Commander Yang, this is not a joke! Thousands of bandits are wreaking havoc in the village, and people are devastated wherever they go. As an official of the imperial court, you should..."

Yang Menglong hates this kind of literary person the most. He is afraid when he sees them. When he sees people start to endorse, this guy yawned loudly without losing face, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, I know what I'm talking about you guys. I won’t believe it, anyway, I’m here, the bandits have been wiped out by us, what should you do, what about me, go back to sleep... Damn, I didn’t sleep well last night, I was so sleepy I am..." He waved his hand listlessly, turned his horse's head, and rode away, leaving the magistrate with a handsome back and a puff of smoke.Those cavalry didn't talk nonsense, they rode their horses to keep up, and soon disappeared.

Now Zhang Tong is even more confused. He thought that Yang Menglong was defeated and wanted to escape into the county to avoid the bandits, or to ask the county for military supplies, so he made up such nonsense as to wipe out the bandits, but he didn't even mention it. Mention, just tell you that the bandits let me eliminate them, and then pat their butts and leave, this... what kind of trouble is this?Just as he was in doubt, the brigade drove over mightily. They were all soldiers of Wuyang Guard, and they also didn't stop in the county town. Just like this, in front of Zhang Tong and the guards, the guards and soldiers, they were full of spirits. drove over.I saw these soldiers with long spears like a forest, the formation was neat and orderly, all of them were covered in blood, and many of them still had one or two bloody heads hanging from their waists. Zhan Zhan, almost did not pee out.Zhang Tong was dumbfounded again, staring blankly at the victorious team passing by without looking sideways, mouth shut, muttering to himself: "The queue is neat, and everyone is covered in blood, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a beating!" Defeated battle... there are so many people with heads hanging from their waists, could it be that they all got it from killing the enemy? I have to say, these warriors are really barbaric!"

The master pointed to the bottom of the city and called: "My lord, look quickly, the prisoners! There are so many prisoners!"

It didn't take him to remind Zhang Tong. At least two or three thousand prisoners in ragged clothes were escorted by officers and soldiers of Wuyang Guard. They also lined up in a long row. As the brigade drove towards Wuquan, there were many carts behind them. .Zhang Tong's eyes were bigger than pig urine bubbles: "So many prisoners, where did they come from? Could it be... Could it be that the thousands of bandits were really wiped out by Mr. Yang!?"

The master took a deep breath: "Unbelievable, unbelievable!" He knew very well how fierce and brutal the bandits and grassroots in Tongbai Mountain were. They were the only ones who regularly raided the officers and soldiers. With more than 4000 people in his hands, Yang Menglong wiped out a thousand people in one battle, which is so shocking!

Zhang Tong was so excited that he slapped his palms on the battlements, his palms turned red: "Good general, Mr. Yang is really a good general! With this general around, I, Wuyang, won't have to suffer from the bandits anymore! Come here, open the city door, prepare the sedan chair! This official is going to see Master Yang!"

Seeing so many bandits wiped out by Yang Menglong, the city walls burst into cheers.Originally, when they learned that thousands of bandits were going down the mountain to besiege the county, everyone was terrified. Even if it was protected by a thick city wall, they were terrified. The bandits were wiped out, and the big rock in everyone's hearts was finally let go!At that moment, someone moved away the big stone blocking the city gate, someone prepared a sedan chair, Zhang Tong got into the sedan chair, and chased after Yang Menglong.

However, it is not easy to catch up with Yang Menglong. This guy can run very fast on horseback and is back at Qianhu Station in a flash. Mr. Zhang can chase him.

Xiao Yufang anxiously paced back and forth in the living room, restless, several bloodshot eyes appeared in her black and white eyes.Since Yang Menglong set off, she hasn't closed her eyes until now, and she is always worried.Yang Menglong is also really abominable, she hasn't heard from him until now, she's so tired that she's worried... There's no way, who made that kid remain unreliable as before?She said anxiously: "What's going on now? Whether it's good or bad, there must be some news, right? I'm really anxious!"

Liu Ziyan said softly: "Sister, don't worry, General Yang will be fine! Think about it, in Dingxing, the situation was a hundred times more critical than it is now, and he still can't easily resolve it? Such a fierce Jiannu can't do anything He, let alone this mere bandit!"

Xiao Yufang said, "That's what I said, but..."

Suddenly bursts of cheers came from outside, and then the whole guardhouse was boiling. It seemed that everyone was cheering. If a few strings of fireworks could be set off, it would definitely be in time for the grandest festival.Xiao Yufang was surprised and called an old servant: "Go and see what happened outside."

The old servant responded and walked out.As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Yang Menglong stepping in. Behind him was a large group of military households and workers, all cheering for him!It's a pity that Yang Menglong didn't appreciate it, he didn't pay any attention to it, he strode straight to the living room, and shouted: "I'm back! Someone pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty!" As if he just went out and ran a few kilometers!
Xiao Yufang looked at him in disbelief and let out an exclamation.Liu Ziyan looked a little excited and wanted to stand up, but she was suppressed and didn't stand up.Yang Menglong didn't have so much etiquette, so he dragged a chair and sat down on his buttocks, and said carelessly: "I have already wiped out those bandits who dared to break the ground on Tai Sui, you don't have to worry... that who, Pour me a cup of tea, don't you see that my throat is smoking?"

Only then did the old servant come to his senses, and hurriedly poured tea.Xiao Yufang also came to her senses, walked over hurriedly, and said incoherently: "You are finally back! You fought with the bandits, right? Are they vicious? Are you injured? You are covered in blood. You must be injured, right? Let me see where the injury is!" Without any explanation, he dragged Yang Menglong up from the chair, looked around to see if he was injured, even if he was appreciating ancient paintings, he was not so serious.

Yang Menglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not injured. The blood was splashed by the bandits I killed before they died. They looked fierce, but their combat effectiveness was actually very poor. I tied one hand I can also beat four of them one by one!"

Liu Ziyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Xiao Yufang: "Sister, am I right? I told you that he will be fine!"

Seeing that Yang Menglong was unharmed, Xiao Yufang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, thank you!"

Yang Menglong took the tea cup from the old servant's hand, drank it all in one gulp, clicked his tongue, and handed the cup over: "Pour me another cup!"

The old servant poured him another glass.This guy kept drinking, and he was satisfied after drinking five cups in a row. He let out a comfortable breath, took Xiao Yufang's hand and asked, "Why are there bloodshot eyes in your eyes? Did you not sleep well?"

Xiao Yufang said, "No, I..."

An Ning said crisply: "My sister hasn't closed her eyes since last night, she's really worried!"

Yang Menglong was very distressed, and said: "You don't have to worry so much, Jiannu can't do anything to me, what can a few little thieves do to me? Aren't you scaring yourself?"

Xiao Yufang said: "I...I know it too, but I'm just afraid... By the way, Mr. Cheng is out of danger but still a little weak..."

Only then did Yang Menglong think of this great God of Wealth, slapped his head, and shouted: "Oh, I almost forgot about this! Wait, I'll go talk to him first!" Jumped up, and ran out like a gust of wind.

Xiao Yufang and Liu Ziyan stared with wide eyes.

Yang Menglong stuck his head out from the door: "By the way, where does he live?"

Xiao Yufang resisted the urge to throw a teacup over, and said, "The east wing."

Yang Menglong said: "Thank you!" With a swish, it was gone.

Xiao Yufang smiled wryly: "This big horse monkey..." After two days and one night of worrying, he finally brought him back, but he couldn't say a few words, and he was going to be busy with other things again, alas, I really don't know How to say him is good.

Liu Ziyan didn't speak, her bright eyes were full of smiles, and she was so beautiful.

Yang Menglong excitedly came to the east wing, opened the door and went in, calling: "Master Cheng, Manager Cheng!"

Cheng Ji, who was resting on the bed, sat up when he heard his voice. Seeing that it was Yang Menglong, he cupped his hands and saluted: "Master Yang is back? I'm sorry for your sins!"

Yang Menglong waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, I don't like this set very much. How is the injury? Does it still hurt?"

Cheng Ji said: "Thanks to the elixir provided by the lord, after the doctor's treatment, my wound is no longer serious!"

Yang Menglong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! I'm really afraid that you will die. It's not easy for me to hang on to my son... By the way, I have good news for you, the money you were robbed of The money, I got it back for you, and it will be delivered in a while, not a dime is missing."

Cheng Ji was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Really... really?"

Yang Menglong said: "Why am I lying to you? Your money is all 50 taels of silver ingots, a total of 1000 taels of silver ingots, right?"

Cheng Ji nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "That's right, that's right!" He was greatly relieved, Yang Menglong was so clear about these details, it seems that the money was really recovered!

Yang Menglong said: "The money will be sent back in a while. You can go and count it then."

Cheng Ji shook his head again and again: "No need, no need, I can trust my lord!"

Yang Menglong said: "It's still necessary to count it. If you get it and find that it's missing a few hundred taels, I won't be able to face it."

Cheng Ji said sincerely: "Your Excellency can even return tens of thousands of taels of silver to me intact, and still greedy for a mere few hundred taels?"

Yang Menglong muttered: "Don't tell me, I really regret returning the money to you... 6 taels of silver, enough for me to squander for a long time!"

Cheng Ji laughed: "If my lord does not dislike it, I am willing to give 1 taels of silver as a reward!"

Yang Menglong waved his hand and said: "No, you are my partner. Someone robbed me on my territory. I will help you get the money back. That is my duty. You don't have to thank me. If you have to thank me, Please help me to attract a few more big merchants to come and invest!"

Cheng Ji said, "Sure, sure! By the way, how did your lord recover the money?"

Yang Menglong stared and said, "What else can we do? Fight hard with the bandits and annihilate them all. The money they stole will naturally come back!"

Cheng Ji's eyes were bigger than Yang Menglong's, and he shouted like a ghost: "What? Kill them all!?"

Even if Yang Menglong was wiped out by the bandits, he might not be so surprised...
