life in ancient gods

Chapter 110 110 Harvest
The big one-eyed leader who wanted to run away, just turned around and ran away, when he heard a rush of horseshoes behind him.

He hurriedly turned around to look, only to feel a chill in his heart, an iron gun pierced his heart with a strong wind.

"You..." He stared at the person who killed him with wide eyes.

It was Su Ping'an, a boy riding a bay red horse and wearing bright armor.

Su Ping'an pulled the iron gun out of the one-eyed leader's heart. The one-eyed leader seemed to have lost his center of gravity and slammed to the ground. He twitched twice in the dust and blood and stopped moving.

"Ah... the boss is dead! Don't kill us, we are willing to surrender!"

Seeing that their boss was dead, the rest of the cottage had no intention of fighting and surrendered.

……

Inside the cottage

Su Pingan rushed up the mountain with Li Tianba, Lu Da, Wu Song and other people.

I saw a young man in silver helmet and silver armor standing at the door of the hall holding a silver gun.

"Your boss is dead, and the rest have surrendered. Are you willing to surrender?" Su Ping'an said to the young man in silver armor, and then used the reconnaissance technique to take a look.

Name: Huarong

Attributes: Constitution 76, Strength 95, Dexterity 128
Status: exhausted
Su Pingan didn't expect Hua Rong to appear here, and saw that there must be some unknown reason.

"As expected! Hey!" Huarong sighed, he was framed and had nowhere to go. He just came to this cottage and became the eighth position, but the cottage was destroyed. It can be said that he was out of luck.

Su Pingan clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency is Hua Rong who is called Xiao Li Guang?"

Hua Rong was slightly startled and looked at Su Pingan in disbelief, "How do you know my name?"

Lu Da, Wu Song and Li Tianba all looked at Su Ping'an, thinking that Su Ping'an knew this silver-armored boy.

Su Pingan smiled and said: "The captain of this school has heard about your Excellency for a long time. After you become a general, you will be a bandit. Wouldn't it bury your reputation?"

Huarong didn't expect Su Ping'an to know him so well, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "Hey, Captain Captain doesn't know something, I was forced to do nothing to become a bandit..."

When Su Ping'an heard what Hua Rong meant, he felt a little sure, "Brother Hua, if you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and create peace for all generations, it will definitely be a blessing to the people of the world!"

Li Tianba echoed: "Yes, Brother Hua, you are the queen of the generals and have learned martial arts. You should do something for the people of the world."

Hua Rong pondered for a while, he felt that Su Ping'an's words were right, and Su Ping'an was very kind to him, he felt that joining Su Ping'an's team should be right.

"Master Captain, I am willing to surrender!" Hua Rong cupped his fists and knelt down on one knee.

"Okay, Brother Hua, please get up quickly!" Su Ping'an was overjoyed. It was an unexpected blessing to have another one who could fight.

……

After pacifying the bandits in Changqi Mountain, Su Ping'an obtained a large amount of food, grass and supplies in the cottage, and found more than 100 war horses. It is thought that these war horses were obtained by the bandits from robbing the horse dealer.

He searched again in the treasury in the cottage. The thieves robbed all kinds of rare antiques, gold, silver and jewelry, and he put them all in his personal warehouse.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have gained a total wealth worth 13 taels of silver."

……

Although nearly a hundred soldiers were lost in this campaign against bandits, more than 200 were injured.

However, the main force basically suffered no losses. Only a dozen cavalrymen and archers suffered some superficial injuries, which were not serious. Moreover, there was also the unexpected gain of Xiao Li Guanghuarong, which could be described as a complete victory.

Su Pingan ordered the soldiers to set fire to the corpses at the foot of the mountain, so as not to cause a plague.

Because Su Pingan recruited basic refugees and most of the dead soldiers had no family members, Su Pingan only gave a pension of 30 taels to each of the gangsters who had family members.

Injured soldiers were also given ten taels of silver. Soldiers who fought bravely and made military exploits were rewarded with silver ranging from ten taels to 30 taels.

Among the captive bandits who were willing to serve as soldiers, Su Ping'an would accept them according to the situation, and those who did not want to serve as soldiers would each be given a tael of silver as money to let them go home.

As a result, Su Pingan's reputation became famous, and many knights came to seek refuge.

……

Returning with a full load, we returned to the military camp.

Su Ping'an first asked the medical officer in the military camp to give medicine to the injured sergeant, and then asked the grain and grass officer Mengdie and the quartermaster Li Tianba to count and register the grain, grass and materials obtained by suppressing the thieves.

Inside the camp tent

Ma Fuyuan kowtowed to Su Pingan, who was sitting on the top seat, and thanked him: "Thank you, Captain, for helping the villain get back the horses! The villain is willing to donate half of the horses to Captain Captain as a reward!"

Su Pingan smiled, raised his hand and said: "Please stand up, the captain will not take your horses for nothing, and the captain will buy all your horses with money."

Ma Fu didn't expect that Su Ping'an not only didn't want his horse, but also bought all his horses. He was so moved that he knelt down and kowtowed a few times, "Thank you, Captain, you are the next generation Bao Qingtian!"

Su Ping'an said indifferently: "...Oh, the captain of the school just has one condition."

"Conditions?!" Ma Fuyuan's heart tightened, "Sir Captain, please tell me! As long as I can do it, I will go up to the mountains of swords and the seas of fire, no matter what."

Su Ping'an waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious. The lieutenant just asked you to be a horse officer to deliver horses to the lieutenant's barracks. Are you willing?"

"...Ma Guan?" Ma Fuyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Yes, thank you sir!"

Su Pingan nodded and smiled, so that the horses in his barracks would be secured.

……

A few days later, Su Ping'an and Ye Chenli came to the Yanyu Building in Jinling Chengdong City, drinking and chatting in the private room on the third floor.

Ye Chenli and Su Pingan had a drink together, "Brother, I heard that you defeated the bandits in Changqi Mountain?"

"Yeah." Su Ping'an nodded.

"The bandits from Changqishan have been robbing homes and harming the countryside all year round. For my brother's meritorious service, I should have reported it to the court so that he could be promoted to a higher position, but..." Ye Chenli showed hesitation when he said this.

"Just what?" Su Pingan asked.

"Brother, you and I are brothers in life and death, so I won't hide it from you." Ye Chenli lowered his voice as he spoke, "...Brother, you don't know that now the imperial court is secretly selling officials and nobles, and it is not easy to appoint officials with military exploits." , and official positions above the fifth rank need to be bought with silver, and the price is clearly marked."

"...What?" Su Ping'an was slightly taken aback.

Ye Chenli sighed softly, "Hey... a few days ago, I heard that a man surnamed Fan won the Juren, and the imperial court appointed him as the county magistrate of Qipin. Although the imperial court exempted half of his money, he still has no money. If you don't go to the appointment, you will be disobeying the order, and in desperation, the Juren surnamed Fan committed suicide by taking poison at home."

"..." Su Pingan pondered for a long while, and asked Ye Chenli with some hesitation: "...My brother, how much money does the court want for the fifth-rank General Dingyuan?"
