life in ancient gods

Chapter 40
Ye Chenli asked the soldiers to carry all the supplies, food, grass and weapons that could be moved from the village down the mountain.

Those who could be demolished on the stronghold were demolished, and those that could not be demolished were set on fire by the soldiers.

Su Pingan brought Liu Xiaohui and Mengdie to the foot of the mountain, looked up and saw the thick black smoke on the mountain, and murmured: "I set fire to the mountain, but I will go to jail... What a pity..."

Liu Xiaohui rolled his eyes at him, "What a pity, don't you still want to be the King of the Mountain?"

"Just him?" Mengdie looked at Su Ping'an with a look of disdain, "If he becomes the king of the mountain, I will go to the mountain to suppress bandits every day."

Liu Xiaohui covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and glanced at Su Ping'an.

Su Pingan walked up to his black horse, patted the dust on the saddle leather pad, and retorted: "I don't want to be a king of the mountain, that's so boring."

As he spoke, he jumped onto his horse.

Mengdie came over and pulled the reins of the horse, "You stinky rascal, are you still a man, my junior sister and I have no horses, do you want us girls to walk behind?"

Su Pingan rolled his eyes, "If you weren't a man, would you call me a rogue?"

"You..." Mengdie's pretty face flushed like a red apple, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, and pulled Su Ping'an's arm hard on the horse.

"Oh... Heroine, please spare your life..." Su Ping'an had an injury on his arm and was pulled like this. It hurt so much that he quickly begged for mercy.

Liu Xiaohui saw Su Ping'an grimacing in pain and hurriedly came over and said, "Senior sister, Mr. Su has an injury on his arm. Please be gentle."

"Hmph, it's good to know that you're afraid, so hurry up and get off the horse!" Mengdie smugly asked Su Pingan to get off the horse.

Su Ping'an was indignant. This was the horse he bought with money, but it was forcibly taken away. "My lord, I don't want a fierce woman like you to be my shadow guard. I want to fire you."

"Fired?" Mengdie thought for a while, probably because she didn't want her. Seeing Su Ping'an angry, she became more proud, "Regret? Regret is useless. This girl has changed her mind now, and she will be your shadow." guard."

She wanted to appear ladylike, but it was hard to hide her brutal nature.

Therefore, she would sometimes call herself the girl, but when she got angry, she showed her ferocious nature regardless.

Ye Chenli saw Su Ping'an and Mengdie arguing, and Liu Xiaohui was on the side to break up the fight. He smiled, walked over and said, "Brother, there are a lot of extra horses. Plus the horses obtained from the village are enough for us to ride." That’s it.”

When Ye Chenli brought the army, there were half of the infantry, but because fifty or sixty soldiers were killed in battle, plus the dozens of horses captured on the mountain, it was indeed enough.

It was just that some of the horses had to be used to pull the supplies captured from the stronghold, and the infantry still walked.

There are more than a dozen carriages in the cottage, and because the materials are too heavy, one carriage needs two horses to pull it.

The cavalry has more than enough, one man has two horses, or even three horses.

Mengdie greeted Liu Xiaohui who was on the side: "Junior Sister, get on the horse quickly, our senior sisters will ride the same horse."

Liu Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Su Pingan, and then jumped on the horse.

"It's a robbery..." Su Ping'an pouted, with a helpless expression, he found a horse at random and rode on it.

After pulling all the captured grain and grass onto the carriage, the army set off back.

When passing through Huxi Town, people lined the road to welcome the army's triumphant return.

When Li Tianba arrived in the town, he got off his horse and went back to Buxing. He asked Li Yinger to cook a few good dishes and put a table of good food and wine.

Su Pingan gave Zhao Buzhu some instructions in the inn, and asked the inn to hold a banquet inside and out, and invited the soldiers to drink with open arms.

He was dragged to Buxing's backyard by Li Tianba.

Under the big tree in the backyard, tables, chairs, wine and food have already been set up.

Li Yinger wore a snow-white tight-fitting mink fur dress, showing off her graceful figure.

She warmly entertained Su Pingan, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but Su Pingan couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she thought of the bet with her brother Li Tianba.

"Thank you for your work. Miss Ying'er is really ingenious and can take care of the cloth business. She can also prepare such a rich table of delicious food. She is really capable."

Su Ping'an is not very good at complimenting others, but these words fell into Li Yinger's ears, but she felt sweet in her heart, very pleasing to the ear.

Li Yinger pursed her red lips, and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Mr. Su for his appreciation. Mr. Su is a villager in Huxi Town and nearby. He has gone through life and death to get rid of serious troubles. I admire him very much. I will respect Mr. Su first."

As he spoke, he picked up a glass of sake on the table and offered a respect to Su Ping'an.

"Don't dare, Ms. Yinger is too praised." Su Ping'an was flattered by the praise, took the toasted wine from Li Yinger with both hands and drank it down.

He glanced at Li Tianba, who was happy at the side, and said humbly: "Brother Ru has made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time. I'd like to toast Brother Li."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass full of sake in front of the table with both hands, and made a toast to Li Tianba.

Li Tianba took the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "Haha, brother Su is really polite, we are almost a family, so there is no need to be polite."

As he said that, he quickly winked at his sister Li Yinger who was at the side.

Li Yinger blushed, turned around, did not look at his elder brother, and said in her heart: "Although Mr. Su's conduct is acceptable, he and I still don't know each other well. My elder brother is so careless, but he doesn't know what my daughter's family is thinking."

"Hey, sister, it's not easy for brother Su to come to our house. You can drink a few glasses of wine with him, and go to the cloth store in front of you to help you look after the business. You can talk slowly."

Li Tianba said, and went to the cloth line in front with a smile.

"..." Su Pingan saw that Li Tianba ran to the front of the cloth line, leaving him and Li Yinger alone, and he felt that the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

Su Ping'an was intoxicated by the faint woman's unique fragrance in the air.

But he was very clear-headed at the moment, it was just a glass of sake, how could he be drunk.

However, Li Ying'er looked generous and decent, filling Su Ping's empty wine glass with sake at the table.

She pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said softly: "Mr. Su, I heard that your home is in Jinling City. Although Jinling City is not far from Huxi Town, I have never been there. I wonder if Jinling City is really what people say. Is it as prosperous and beautiful?”

Su Ping'an was noncommittal, "...well, Jinling is naturally much more prosperous than Huxi Town. As for whether it is beautiful or not, everyone has their own opinions. Rural towns have their own unique countryside scenery, and Jinling also has its own majesty. It's magnificent. Miss Ying'er can go to Jinling to have a look when she has free time."

Li Ying'er frowned, looking down at her slender hands, "I don't have any free time... I guard this shop all day long, and I don't have much time. It's not like Master Su who can be a shopkeeper."

As he spoke, he looked up at Su Ping'an.
