Treacherous ministers have deep routines
Chapter 431 Avenging Private Enmity
Pangtu followed Lin Rang, Yang Yue, and Wei Zilian, and soon he left the city and walked all the way to the cheaper city.
Pontu felt a little uneasy, why did he leave the city?Where is this going?
Could it be that the governor of Luzhou wanted to secretly get rid of himself outside, and then throw his body in the wilderness?
Pangtu's eyes turned slightly, Lin Rang didn't look at his face, but he seemed to be able to read minds, and said, "Don't worry, we won't throw your body into the wilderness. The horse bandit has redeemed you."
Pangtu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Lin Rang had already stood still suddenly, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Furthermore, this governor has spent so much money, so let's get it back no matter what."
As he spoke, he lifted his chin and motioned Pontu to look around.
Pontu raised his eyes and saw that this was the city wall, and there was nothing but a piece of farmland. Many soldiers were farming here, obviously they were farming.
Pontu looked at Lin Rang strangely, and Lin Rang said, "From today on, I'll be here to help you...to farm."
"Farming?!"
Pontu was so surprised that he almost bit off his tongue and said, "What? Farming? You let me farm here?!"
Lin Rang said lightly: "It's just farming, what? What do you think is wrong?"
Yang Yue booed at the side, and said with a smile: "I've never seen anyone farming, especially such a good-looking person farming, it must have a different taste."
Wei Zilian also responded, "Hey, Mr. Yang, have you never seen farming? I have a lot of fields at home. Let me tell you, this kind of field is very knowledgeable. Wait for this beauty to plant a field for a month, no no After half a month, you will definitely be exposed as a farmer, and you will never find the slightest beauty, don't worry, you will be completely reborn!"
When Pangtu heard them "calling" each other, his face became livid immediately, and he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't the governor of Luzhou deliberately teasing Pang?"
Lin Rang lightly brushed off his sleeve robe, and raised his hands to block the sunlight. It is already autumn, but there is no shelter here, and the autumn sun is still very strong. Lin Rang poses like a villain Looking at his face, he said: "This is strange. Today, Mr. Pang is just a rough envoy, and the governor can do whatever he wants. How can there be anything intentional or not?"
Yang Yue and Wei Zilian nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Pangtu was so angry that he wanted to vent his anger with his eyes, and gave the three "dandies" a vicious look, even though he was trembling all over, there was nothing he could do.
Lin Rang said loudly: "Mr. Pang, please go!"
Pontu had no choice, but he had never done this kind of work before. He thought that the rough envoy was just serving water and food. How did he know that Lin Rang was the first to bring him to farm.
Pontu was holding a hoe and wearing a long robe. Seeing the mud mixed with rainwater, he couldn't walk in at all.
He likes cleanliness by nature and never walks on muddy ground. Even if the land has no water, Pontu despises uncleanness. He always walks on the stone floor to feel more relaxed.
Pontu didn’t want to walk on dirt roads, whether he said he loved cleanliness or pretended to be clean, he just didn’t want to walk on dirt roads. This idea can’t be changed. Let him stand on muddy rainwater dirt roads, and Pontu would There is a feeling that the whole body is covered with insects and ants, and the head is numb and uncomfortable.
Pontu held up his hoe and stared at the farmland.
Lin Rang urged, "What's the matter? Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig go away?"
Pangtu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unable to make up his mind at all. Lin Rang took a look and brushed off his robe. Under the surprised gazes of Yang Yue and Wei Zilian, Lin Rang, a dignified and famous assassin, raised his head high. feet...
"Oh!"
Kicked Ponto.
"what!"
Pontu yelled and almost fell face-to-face in the mud.
Pontu tried his best to stabilize himself, but still fell into the farmland. With a sound of "snap!", the mud splashed and dirty Pontu's hand, but fortunately, Pontu raised his hand to avoid the mud flying to his face.
Pontu stared at the mud in his hand, belatedly realized, "Hey—" his eyes widened, his face looked desperate.
Yang Yue asked strangely, "What happened to him?"
Wei Zilian stroked his chin and said, "It seems... that you were greatly stimulated?"
Lin Rang said clearly: "It turns out that I have a cleanliness."
"Cleanliness?"
Yang Yue and Wei Zilian asked strangely, "What kind of hobby is that?"
Frightened by the mud on his hands, Pontu fought all over. He ran up from the farmland, panting, sweating like rain, and almost fell to the ground, but the ground was not clean , so Ponto did not sit still.
Pangtu glared at Lin Rang with "resentment", but that look was more like grievance.
Lin Rang dared to assure you that Pangtu's life was almost smooth, and he never suffered such a big setback.
Wei Man went to the shogunate camp to deal with official business, and when he returned, he found that Lin Rang was gone, and he took two other people with him and left the city.
Wei Man said in surprise, "Lin Rang took Yang Yue and Wei Zilian out of the city?"
The servant nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Inspector, Wu Han Taishou, and Mr. Wei have already left the city earlier. The villain also saw that they were with Mr. Pang."
Only then did Wei Man suddenly realize that the two dudes were Yang Yue and Wei Zilian.
They are indeed the best of the dandies, but...
Neither Yang Yue nor Wei Zilian was reliable, and Wei Man suddenly felt extremely anxious.
More than that, Yang Yue and Wei Zilian are purely sexual, in Lin Rang's words, they are "face control". Wei Man is even more worried when he sees any beauty who wants to move forward.
Wei Man thought, no, Gu must go and see for himself.
Wei Man said, "What are they doing out of the city?"
"This……"
The servant hesitated for a while, Wei Man frowned and said, "Is there anything I can't say? Is there something unspeakable?!"
"No, no, my lord, it's not some unspeakable secret..."
The servant said: "Master Inspector said... he wants to take Mr. Pang to farm."
"Farming?"
Wei Man wondered for a moment whether his ears were broken, which is why he heard this unbelievable answer.
It turned out that the servant did not have any secrets, but felt that the answer was too unbelievable, so it was difficult to answer.
Wei Man immediately got a severe headache, got on the Jueying horse, quickly drank the horse and left the camp, and also went to the farmland in the city.
When Wei Man arrived at the city gate, he heard "hahaha" laughter, as if someone was about to suffer.
The laughter was very recognizable, and one could tell it was the duet of Yang Yue and Wei Zilian.
Wei Man drove his horse over, and saw a man like a mud monkey standing in the middle of the field, dripping muddy water, his hair was dirty, his temples were loose, and he was extremely embarrassed.
The three of them stood outside the farmland, Yang Yue and Wei Zilian clapped their hands and laughed, Lin Rang stood tall, smiling all over his face.
Wei Man took a closer look, isn't that mud monkey exactly Pangtu?
Pontu was standing in the mud, almost going to explode. He felt that his chest was congested and was about to burst. The expression on his face was fierce and aggrieved. I really felt pity for his small appearance.
Wei Man was very helpless, and rubbed his forehead. At first, he was worried that Lin Rang would be seduced by Pangtu, but now he saw...
It's too much to worry about.
Not only that, he felt a little sorry for Pontu.
Thinking about him, Pang Tu, a famous person, how had he ever been wronged like this since he was a child?Even if he came to Yanzhou with Chen Ji, he would be a mastermind.
Not to mention being abandoned by the lord now, but also to suffer here, it's a double blow.
"Big brother! Big brother is here!"
Wei Zilian was the first to see Wei Man, and quickly waved his hands and shouted.
Wei Man drove his horse over, jumped off the horse, looked at Pangtu who was like a mud monkey, and said to Lin Rang in a low voice: "Lin Rang, take it easy, you made him cry like this, how will Pangtu submit to us in the future? He has the smallest mind and will hold grudges."
Lin Rang said lightly: "It's okay, Pangtu's vigor was not polished by Jean, but by Chen Ji and those horse bandits. It is Pangtu's vigor that I like. Now that his brilliance is gone, if it is not poured on the fire You, how do you bring Pontu back to life?"
It turned out to be the aggressive method...
But this is too offensive.
Lin Rang said nothing more, moved his eyes slightly, and said, "Mr. Pang, you can come back."
Pontu stood in the farmland, and when he heard these words, he felt like the sound of heaven, he hurriedly ran up from the ground, shook the mud on his robe vigorously, and snorted twice on his face.
Lin Rang said lightly: "Mr. Pang, Duke Wei is pleading for you. If that's the case, you don't have to come to work in the farmland in the future. Anyway, your farming skills seem to be against the farmland."
Pangtu was taken aback, and looked at Wei Man. Didn't he expect Wei Man to plead for him?
Lin Rang said again: "Even so, Mr. Pang, you will follow Wei Gong in the future and serve tea and water."
Wei Man quickly pulled Lin Rang and said, "Wait, you asked him to follow Gu? What are you doing with Gu?"
Lin Rang said: "General Zhao Dian is very busy now, and you don't have a 'calling girl' by your side, so why don't you send one to Duke Wei?"
Wei Man said repeatedly: "I don't need to wait for 'calling a girl'."
Lin Rang raised his eyebrows and said, "Duke Wei really doesn't need it, then... we can only let Mr. Pang accompany Rang day and night, and serve Rang so that he can live and live?"
Wei Man: "..."
The sourness in Wei Man's heart surged up in an instant, still "living"? !
How can there be any reason to push a rival in love to one's lover?Unless Wei Man's brain is rusted.
Wei Man suddenly gave a "ferocious" laugh, and said, "No, it's fine to follow Gu."
Lin Rang clapped his hands lightly and said, "Then it's settled."
After a day of entertainment, Pontu went back to take a bath and changed his clothes, and he was deeply relieved when he changed out of his muddy clothes.
There was already a servant urging outside, "Mr. Pang, the Lord is looking for you, so I want you to bring water over there."
Pangtu severely suppressed the anger in his heart, responded, took the hot water from the servant, and went to the lord's camp.
Wei Man was sitting in the tent and reading the military newspaper, Pangtu brought in hot water and put the earcup on the table.
Wei Man glanced at it, said "En", picked it up in a dignified manner, and was about to gulp it down, when he caught a glimpse of Pontu's face.
It's not very handsome, it's just delicate, there's no way to compare with Gu, and I don't know why Lin Rang's eyes are so bad.
Wei Man usually does not eat less, but today he caught Pangtu, how could he easily make him feel better?
"Ho!"
Wei Man took a deep breath, and said exaggeratedly: "It's so hot! Are you trying to burn Gu Gu to death!?"
Pontu was taken aback by his gasp, and thought it was really hot, but then he thought, no, he came in with water and didn't feel it was hot, how could Wei Man look like he was going to be scalded? What does it look like to die?
There is only one explanation.
Find fault!
Wei Man took a puff of the earcup heavily and said, "Bring a cooler one."
Pontu held back his breath, he had to bow his head under the eaves, and quickly turned around to get some cooler water.
He came in with the ear cup for the second time and handed it to Wei Man.
Wei Manduan came over, took a sip, a little bit, and then...
"Ho!"
He took a deep breath again and said, "It's so cold?! Do you want to freeze Gu's tooth? It's so vicious."
Ponto: "..."
Pangtu took a deep breath and said patiently, "Duke Wei, this water is not..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Man interrupted, and said with a sneer, "What? You, a little servant, do you want to preach to Gu?"
Pontu had no choice but to keep silent.
Wei Man said: "In exchange, it should be neither cold nor hot, neither ice nor hot."
Pontu nodded, strode out, and continued to fetch water.
This time I really brought a glass of lukewarm water, how could Wei Man find fault?
But Pontu really underestimated Wei Man's scoundrel. You must know that Wei Man's temperament as a leader is all brought out. He is actually a serious scoundrel and playboy, which Lin Rang knows best.
Wei Man took the earcup and didn't drink it this time. He deliberately shook the earcup and threw the earcup on the ground.
"Boom! Gulululu—"
The ear cup fell to the ground without breaking, the water splashed all over the ground, and the ear cup rolled back and forth.
Wei Man deliberately said: "Look at what you have done. You are so clumsy that you wet all the paperwork. Hurry up and wipe off the water!"
Ponto: "..."
It was clear that after Wei Man caught the water cup, he deliberately threw the ear cup on the ground, which was too deliberate.
Just as Pangtu was about to defend himself, Wei Man said, "What are you doing in a daze? Do you know how much this earcup is worth? If you break it, you won't get the 500 million yuan, but you'll have to put it up instead."
Pontu patiently picked up the earcup and went out of the camp to continue serving water.
"Crash!" Pontu came out of the tent, angrily stomping his feet several times, seeing the dust flying up and splashing on his robe, he quickly dusted it off again.
Pontu thought this was not possible, so he didn't fetch the water, but went straight to the pharmacy, "Wow!" He opened the curtain and strode in.
Lin Rang and Lin Feng were dispensing medicine at the pharmacy, when they saw someone rushing in aggressively, they thought it was someone who was kicking the hall.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Pontu who was so angry that he was about to burst.
Lin Rang glanced at Pangtu lightly, and Pangtu immediately said, "I can't do rough work!"
Lin Rang continued to dispense the medicine without stopping his hands, and said, "Oh? What kind of work does Mr. Pang do?"
When Pontu heard this, he was suddenly at a loss for words.
Lin Rang picked up the herbs, sniffed them lightly, and said, "Mr. Pang, do you know that you are the one who owes the money, not the one who wants the debt? Your attitude is really..."
Pangtu did feel that there was something wrong with his attitude, but the key point was that Lin Rang and Wei Man made it clear that they did not want to pay back the money themselves, but humiliated themselves in different ways.
Pang Tu was born as a literati, and what he has the most is his backbone, so naturally he can't bear this kind of anger.
Lin Rang divided the medicinal materials into categories, handed them to Lin Feng, and said, "Put these in the air."
"Yes, foster father."
Lin Feng obediently took the medicinal materials and left the pharmacy.
For a while, only Lin Rang and Pangtu were left in the pharmacy.
Lin asked Shi Shiran to sit down, and Pangtu also wanted to sit down, but just as he was about to step on the mat, Lin Rang looked up coldly.
Pontu was so frightened that he immediately stood there, frozen.
Pang Tu belatedly realized that Lin Rang's gaze was really frightening...
Lin Rang picked up the water, took a sip, and then quietly said: "I said earlier, Mr. Pang is a cultural person, and he can use his brain to repay his debts, but Mr. Pang just doesn't listen."
Pontu squinted his eyes, clenched his back teeth tightly, as if he was making a decision, and said, "It's impossible for Pang to submit to the Wei camp. The governor should give up on this idea."
Lin Rang seemed to be mentally prepared, not surprised at all, and said: "I know, it is not an easy thing to make Mr. Pang betray, let alone... a disheartened Mr. Pang betrayed?"
Lin Rang got to the point. After these days in the hands of the horse bandits, Pangtu no longer had confidence. His sharpness and edges were all polished away, as if he was no longer the sharp and sharp Pangtu in the past.
Pontu doesn't even trust himself, so how can he help others?
Hearing what he said, Pangtu's eyes suddenly became dark, and he was very confused. Did he have no talent to be a counselor? to such an extent.
Now he has not only fallen into such a situation, but also harmed Yuan Hao. According to Chen Ji's temperament, Yuan Hao's proposition is correct, but Chen Ji will never admit it, and Yuan Hao's fate is more than good...
Thinking of this, Pangtu felt even more tormented...
Lin Rang seemed to have seen through Pontu's idea long ago, but he didn't continue to point it out, but said lightly: "Well, I have a business here. If you are willing to cooperate, I... will consider it."
When Pangtu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "What business?"
Lin Rang said: "Do you remember the bandits who robbed you earlier?"
As soon as he said that, Pontu immediately showed some ruthlessness, and said in a cold voice, "How can I not remember?"
Lin Rang said indifferently: "These bandits are deserters who have fallen into bandits. The governor ordered me to investigate. There are more than [-] deserters, and they hold weapons from the standing army. This number is not small."
Pangtu instantly understood Lin Rang's meaning, and said, "Master Inspector wants Pang to help you hunt down these bandits?"
Lin Rang nodded and said: "That's right, there are a lot of these horse bandits, besides...Although the governor is rich, this is not how we spend our money. To redeem your 500 million yuan, the governor intends to... to come back."
Lin Rang said, looked at Pangtu, and said, "I wonder if Mr. Pang is willing to come up with a plan to get rid of these bandits."
The bandits on the mountain burned, killed and looted, and the people nearby were in great pain.No one sent troops to encircle and suppress it, because the terrain of this mountain is very complicated, and those bandits are very cunning, so far no one knows exactly where their cottage is.
If you can't find the old nest, you won't be able to wipe out the bandits all at once. Only the wild fire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will regenerate.
Lin Rang said: "How about it, is Mr. Pang interested in making a deal?"
Pontu squinted his eyes. He is a narrow-minded person. Pontu was abused by those bandits a lot. Those bandits humiliated him so much. Naturally.
Moreover, Lin Rang didn't ask him to make suggestions to assist Wei Man, but just asked him to level a mountain. Pangtu still has the ability to do this.
Pontu narrowed his eyes and said decisively, "Okay, it's a deal."
Lin Rang smiled, showing a triumphant smile, and said, "It's a deal."
It only took one day, Lin Rang and Pangtu reached an agreement, and Pangtu came up with a plan to attack the bandits.
Everyone gathered in the tent of the shogunate, Wei Man sat at the top, the rest sat around, and Pangtu stood in the tent.
Wei Man said: "If Mr. Pang has any solution, just say it."
Pangtu was wearing a simple long gown, although he didn't have the brilliance of Yanzhou's mastermind, but it still couldn't hide his sharpness.
At this time, Pangtu was much sharper than when he was farming or serving tea.
It was as if he had returned to the main battlefield where he reunited after a long absence, and Pontu didn't know it at all...
Pangtu spoke in a calm and calm tone, and said: "According to Pang's knowledge, these bandits on the mountain are deserters from the south, and they are very suitable for roundabout warfare. The reason for being entrenched on the top of the mountain."
Indeed, Wei Man found out that there were officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress bandits in the past, and they all said that the mountains covered the sky, and even in winter, with lush dead branches, it was difficult to see the sun. , easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Coupled with the fact that these bandits are from the regular army and have many military qualities, it is inevitable that they will be very difficult to deal with.
Lin Rang said, "Mr. Pang, what advice do you have?"
Pontu chuckled, and raised one corner of his mouth. He looked like a treacherous minister, but his sharpness was sharp and radiant.
Pontu said: "These deserters have many advantages. They have been trained by the regular bureau, have their own leader, obey orders, have strict discipline, and are good at roundabout combat. They should not be taken lightly. But they also have a fatal flaw..."
Pontu paused, and said in a hoarse voice, "Greedy."
Pangtu turned to look at the crowd, and explained: "The bandit leader on this mountain, Mr. Pang, is very greedy. He likes to rob houses and block roads, but he won't let any caravans pass by. Let's throw stones to ask for directions. "
Let the soldiers pretend to be caravans and deliberately pass by the mountain. Since no one can find the stronghold of the bandit leader, and Pontu can't remember where the stronghold is, why not let the bandits personally send them up the mountain?
Pontu said: "Arrange stragglers to follow behind secretly. Once they enter the stronghold, they will be surrounded by large troops. The reason why these deserters are strictly disciplined is because they have a leader. They cut down the leader of the stronghold. They have no leader and naturally break up. Out of shape."
Let Pontu say how easy it is to encircle and suppress the cottage.
Lin Rang smiled and said: "What Mr. Pang said is true, so according to what Mr. Pang said, who is the most suitable person to be a merchant?"
Pangtu said: "Duke Wei and the governor must not go again. Those bandits are very alert. You two have been exposed. You can't try again."
Pontu paused, and then said: "Naturally, it is more appropriate to send people who look like merchants to do this."
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Zilian.
Seeing Pangtu looking at him, Wei Zilian could not help but smile and waved his hand in greeting, but was stared at by Zhao Dian next to him.
Wei Zilian shrunk his neck, quickly withdrew his hands, and put them on his knees neatly, with a "behaved" look.
Pang Tu also said: "Mr. Wei was born as a merchant. When it comes to the temperament of a merchant, Mr. Wei is perfect. Pang thought that Mr. Wei was invited to act as a merchant selling medicinal materials. It happens that there are many medicinal materials in our camp. Ready-made herbs are packed, and everything is ready."
He said, and looked at Lin Rang with a smile.
Lin Rang couldn't help laughing out "heh--", it seemed that Pontu hit Lin Rang's laugh again.
Lin Rang stood up slowly and said, "Mr. Pang, are you blatantly avenging yourself?"
Pontu smiled and said very humbly: "Lord Inspector, why do you say that?"
You know, medicinal materials are Lin Rang’s lifeblood. Who doesn’t know that Lin Rang cherishes these medicinal materials. Pangtu made a plan to use Lin Rang’s medicinal materials as props. .
A blatant public revenge.
Sure enough, Pangtu had something to say, saying: "Wu Han Taishou Yang Gong is good at fighting in waterways, walking and raiding. It is very suitable to ask Yang Gong to be a backup support."
When Yang Yue heard it, he hadn't reacted to the dream, and thought that Pang Tu was praising him, so he was immediately complacent and said, "Hi, it's so-so."
Yu Ziyuan: "..."
Yu Ziyuan glanced at the "stupid son of the landlord's family" beside him, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Although Pontu was avenging his personal revenge and carrying private goods, it has to be said that it is actually quite accurate and very feasible.
Wei Man ordered everyone to follow the plan.
When everyone left, Wei Man saw Lin Rang sitting on the mat blankly, squinting his eyes.
Wei Man smiled, knowing that Lin Rang also held grudges, and Pang Tu touched his herbs, fearing that Lin Rang would hold grudges for a long time.
Wei Man smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back, it's just some medicinal materials, I'll just let someone buy them for you."
Lin Rang said lightly: "Let Pangtu be stubborn first, and wait for him to enter the camp..."
Lin Rang didn't continue when he said this, but just smiled faintly, Wei Man couldn't help but get goosebumps all over the ground, and felt a chill down his spine...
Wei Zilian quickly prepared to look like a merchant, and set off with Lin Rang's true love's medicinal materials. Yang Yue was in charge of the straggler raid, and Jiang Duting was surrounded by complicated soldiers. Everyone quickly divided labor and cooperated carefully.
Lin Rang and Wei Man watched from a distance on the mountain, and Pang Tu also got up on his horse and followed them. They waited from morning to noon, and from noon to dusk.
Jiang Duting led the soldiers, frowned, as if he couldn't wait any longer, he said: "My lord, can't we send troops? There has been no movement for such a long time, and there may be some changes on the mountain."
Before Wei Man could speak, Pontu smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Those bandits are very cautious. Wait a little longer. If it's too late, there will be an ambush instead."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the mountain was peaceful, Yang Yue's stragglers did not send out any signal.
Right at this moment...
Suddenly, dots of flames lit up on the dim hilltop.
When Jiang Duting saw it, he immediately said, "It's a signal."
Lin Rang and Wei Man also saw it. The flame was small, but it spread instantly, and they could see it clearly from the bottom of the mountain.
Wei Man chuckled lightly and said, "Go up the mountain."
Jiang Duting received the order, immediately raised his hand and said, "Follow me up the mountain!"
Jiang Duting rode forward, followed by his own soldiers, the horse's hooves sounded like an arrow flying towards the mountain, towards the fire.
Wei Man and Lin Rang took their time, took Pangtu with them, and a group of about [-] soldiers walked slowly up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain.
Along the way, I heard: "The officers and soldiers are calling!!"
"It's Wei Jun!"
"Wei Jun is calling, run!"
The bandits in the mountain were in chaos, Jiang Duting led his troops to crush them all the way up, and directly caught all the scattered bandits.
Previously, the stragglers led by Yang Yue chased the kidnapped Wei Zilian up the mountain and left a mark. The troops behind only had to follow the mark up the mountain without encountering any obstacles at all. Sure enough, they found the village hidden in the mountain.
Yang Yue's stragglers had already raided the cottage, and the cottage was in a sea of flames, and the inside was even more chaotic, with constant shouting.
"on fire!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"We've been tricked! Wei Jun is calling!"
"Brother, what should we do!"
The bandits were in a mess, and many of them ran away in confusion without taking up their weapons.
Seeing this scene, the bandit leader hurriedly took his trusted brothers and took some money, so he wanted to take the road and escape, regardless of the cottage.
After all, these bandit leaders are deserters, so escape is his forte. At this critical moment, he naturally has no sense of loyalty.
When the bandits saw that the eldest brother had run away, their aura was even more slack, and they had no way of resisting. Most of them had been captured by Yang Yue's stragglers, and they all dropped their weapons and surrendered voluntarily.
The eldest brother and his cronies were about to go down the remote path. He threw off the sneak attacking Yang Yue and stumbled all the way. Because the path was too narrow, he didn't ride a horse, but just galloped down.
"Big brother! Big brother... slow down!"
"Brother, slow down, we can't keep up!"
"Slow, why slow! Didn't you see Wei Jun's soldiers and horses! If you slow down, it will be... ah!!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt light under his feet, and stepped on a net bag, and was instantly lifted into the sky.
He stepped on a trap!
The bandit leader was caught in the net, everyone was surprised when they saw it, and quickly shouted: "Big brother! Big brother!"
At this moment, suddenly hearing the sound of "da da da" horseshoes, people surrounded them from all directions, and a group of elite light cavalry surrounded them in the center.
"It's you?!"
The bandit leader saw at a glance that the man who at least came out leisurely was Pontu!
They arrested Pangtu a few days ago and asked Chen Ji to blackmail him. Naturally, the bandit leader knew Pangtu, but he never expected to meet Pangtu here today.
Pontu rode on the horse and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. Do you still remember this path?"
At that time, Pangtu was defeated by Sima Bogui's army and fled all the way. He happened to pass this mountain and was caught by the horse bandits.
Pontu also took this path, because it was very quiet, he thought no one would notice, but now that the wind and water are turning, the leader of the horse bandit ran in a panic and ran into his own trap.
The horse bandits saw that the boss was carried to the sky, surrounded by soldiers and horses. Although there were not many soldiers and horses, they looked like a well-equipped army, and no one dared to step forward to make mistakes.
The leader of the horse bandit was suspended in the air, and the net bag kept spinning in circles, swaying. The horse bandit was like a gorilla, baring its teeth and claws in the sky, saying: "Put me down! Let me down!"
The leader of the horse bandit was a little scared, and immediately changed his words and said: "You put me down, and I will let the brothers surrender immediately. I don't dare to have second thoughts. From then on, I will assist Wei Gong and be loyal!"
When Wei Man heard it, he said, "You speak better than you sing. I don't know if Mr. Wei knows."
The leader of the horse bandit fixed his eyes, pointed at Wei Man and said in surprise: "Aren't you the merchant who redeemed people last time?!"
When he said this, Jiang Duting sneered, "How dare you point directly at General Hussars!"
The bandit leader was dumbfounded, and said, "Wei...you are Wei Man?!"
Surprised, the leader of the horse bandit said, "Wei Gong! I am willing to surrender to you, and the villain is willing to surrender. As long as Wei Gong releases the villain, the villain will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, Pangtu sneered, arched his hands, and said, "Wei Gong, this bandit is cruel and merciless. The surrounding people have always resented it for a long time. The bandit can surrender, but the bandit leader must not be recruited. He has to be skinned." Cramping to vent public grievances is the right way."
Hearing Pangtu's harsh words, the leader of the horse bandit shouted, "Duke Wei, listen to me..."
Listening to their quarrel, Lin Rang raised his hand and rubbed his ears, and said, "Wei Gong, Mr. Pang has made such a great contribution to Wei Gong today, defeated the horse bandits, and captured the bandit leader. Why don't you... invite Wei Gong How about rewarding Mr. Pang with a bow and an arrow?"
When Wei Man heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay."
Jiang Duting immediately took off the bow and arrow from his body and handed it to Pangtu.
Pangtu heard what Lin Rang meant. Lin Rang wanted to sell him a favor, and the bandit leader arrested him and humiliated him. This was definitely a great shame for Pangtu, and he was afraid that it would be a shame for Pangtu who was proud and arrogant. Figure, I can't get through my life.
But now Lin Rang and Wei Man gave Pangtu a chance to take revenge.
Pangtu's face sank, and he immediately grabbed the bow and arrow.
Although he is a literati, he has also learned some self-defense skills, and he knows a little bit about bow and arrow.
Pontu immediately opened his bow, put on a long arrow, and aimed at the bandit leader in the net pocket.
The bandit leader turned pale with fright, and shook the net bag vigorously, but the net bag was hanging in the air, with no point of focus, no matter how you shook it, it was just like that arc, and it didn't hurt or itch.
Pontu's mouth curled up into a smile, and with a sound of "噗——", he released the long arrow suddenly.
The scream of the bandit leader turned into a scream, "Ah—" roared, and the dripping blood dripped from the net bag and sprinkled on the ground.
"I... my eyes!!"
"Ah—my eyes!"
"It hurts...it hurts, my eyes!"
"Snapped!"
Following the roar of the bandit leader, Pontu threw the bow on the ground and dusted off the dust that was not in his hands.
The bandit leader roared, Yang Yue had already rushed down from the mountain with his troops, sweeping up the fleeing bandits, just in time to meet Jiang Duting's soldiers, surrounded them on both sides, and wiped out all the bandits.
Yang Yue came galloping on a fast horse, with sweat on his face, but a feeling of heartiness, and said with a smile: "Inspector, look quickly, these silver coins are not less than [-] white coins, more than that, More than enough!"
Yang Yue waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately brought up all the boxes, put them on the ground in a "framed" manner, and opened the boxes.
Box after box is full of silver coins, not only that, but also all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, which are full of brilliance, which is really eye-opening.
Lin Rang got off his horse and went to count the money himself. The 500 million money was too much to count, not to mention that there was only a lot more here.
Lin Rang said lightly: "It seems... this investment has made a good profit."
Wei Man thought that the 500 million yuan was for nothing, but Lin Rang, although he was a doctor, never did business at a loss.
Wei Man waved his hand and said, "Move away, take all the prisoners lightly, and escort them back to the camp."
"Yes!"
Yang Yue made a great contribution this time. When it comes to skirmishing and raiding, he is indeed a good player. Don't look at him as a dandy on weekdays, fooling around, and also likes to be greedy for petty gains, but Yang Yue is indeed a brave warrior.
Yang Yue came to Lin Rang's side, smiled flatteringly and said, "Inspector, how am I doing this time, can I take credit for it?"
Before Lin Rang could speak, Wei Man had pushed Yang Yue away, keeping him at a distance from Lin Rang, and said, "Duke Yang, Duke Yu is waiting in the camp to celebrate your victory. Don't delay, just go down the mountain."
Yang Yue curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "Stingy."
While they were talking, Pang Tu came over, bowed deeply to Wei Man and Lin Rang, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Duke Wei, and thanks to the governor, for today's revenge for Pang Mou."
Lin Rang said with a smile, "Mr. Pang, why is he so obsessed?"
After Pontu saluted, he paused and said, "Now the bandits have surrendered, and the bandit leader has been captured.
Pontu felt a little uneasy, why did he leave the city?Where is this going?
Could it be that the governor of Luzhou wanted to secretly get rid of himself outside, and then throw his body in the wilderness?
Pangtu's eyes turned slightly, Lin Rang didn't look at his face, but he seemed to be able to read minds, and said, "Don't worry, we won't throw your body into the wilderness. The horse bandit has redeemed you."
Pangtu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Lin Rang had already stood still suddenly, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Furthermore, this governor has spent so much money, so let's get it back no matter what."
As he spoke, he lifted his chin and motioned Pontu to look around.
Pontu raised his eyes and saw that this was the city wall, and there was nothing but a piece of farmland. Many soldiers were farming here, obviously they were farming.
Pontu looked at Lin Rang strangely, and Lin Rang said, "From today on, I'll be here to help you...to farm."
"Farming?!"
Pontu was so surprised that he almost bit off his tongue and said, "What? Farming? You let me farm here?!"
Lin Rang said lightly: "It's just farming, what? What do you think is wrong?"
Yang Yue booed at the side, and said with a smile: "I've never seen anyone farming, especially such a good-looking person farming, it must have a different taste."
Wei Zilian also responded, "Hey, Mr. Yang, have you never seen farming? I have a lot of fields at home. Let me tell you, this kind of field is very knowledgeable. Wait for this beauty to plant a field for a month, no no After half a month, you will definitely be exposed as a farmer, and you will never find the slightest beauty, don't worry, you will be completely reborn!"
When Pangtu heard them "calling" each other, his face became livid immediately, and he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't the governor of Luzhou deliberately teasing Pang?"
Lin Rang lightly brushed off his sleeve robe, and raised his hands to block the sunlight. It is already autumn, but there is no shelter here, and the autumn sun is still very strong. Lin Rang poses like a villain Looking at his face, he said: "This is strange. Today, Mr. Pang is just a rough envoy, and the governor can do whatever he wants. How can there be anything intentional or not?"
Yang Yue and Wei Zilian nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Pangtu was so angry that he wanted to vent his anger with his eyes, and gave the three "dandies" a vicious look, even though he was trembling all over, there was nothing he could do.
Lin Rang said loudly: "Mr. Pang, please go!"
Pontu had no choice, but he had never done this kind of work before. He thought that the rough envoy was just serving water and food. How did he know that Lin Rang was the first to bring him to farm.
Pontu was holding a hoe and wearing a long robe. Seeing the mud mixed with rainwater, he couldn't walk in at all.
He likes cleanliness by nature and never walks on muddy ground. Even if the land has no water, Pontu despises uncleanness. He always walks on the stone floor to feel more relaxed.
Pontu didn’t want to walk on dirt roads, whether he said he loved cleanliness or pretended to be clean, he just didn’t want to walk on dirt roads. This idea can’t be changed. Let him stand on muddy rainwater dirt roads, and Pontu would There is a feeling that the whole body is covered with insects and ants, and the head is numb and uncomfortable.
Pontu held up his hoe and stared at the farmland.
Lin Rang urged, "What's the matter? Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig go away?"
Pangtu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unable to make up his mind at all. Lin Rang took a look and brushed off his robe. Under the surprised gazes of Yang Yue and Wei Zilian, Lin Rang, a dignified and famous assassin, raised his head high. feet...
"Oh!"
Kicked Ponto.
"what!"
Pontu yelled and almost fell face-to-face in the mud.
Pontu tried his best to stabilize himself, but still fell into the farmland. With a sound of "snap!", the mud splashed and dirty Pontu's hand, but fortunately, Pontu raised his hand to avoid the mud flying to his face.
Pontu stared at the mud in his hand, belatedly realized, "Hey—" his eyes widened, his face looked desperate.
Yang Yue asked strangely, "What happened to him?"
Wei Zilian stroked his chin and said, "It seems... that you were greatly stimulated?"
Lin Rang said clearly: "It turns out that I have a cleanliness."
"Cleanliness?"
Yang Yue and Wei Zilian asked strangely, "What kind of hobby is that?"
Frightened by the mud on his hands, Pontu fought all over. He ran up from the farmland, panting, sweating like rain, and almost fell to the ground, but the ground was not clean , so Ponto did not sit still.
Pangtu glared at Lin Rang with "resentment", but that look was more like grievance.
Lin Rang dared to assure you that Pangtu's life was almost smooth, and he never suffered such a big setback.
Wei Man went to the shogunate camp to deal with official business, and when he returned, he found that Lin Rang was gone, and he took two other people with him and left the city.
Wei Man said in surprise, "Lin Rang took Yang Yue and Wei Zilian out of the city?"
The servant nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Inspector, Wu Han Taishou, and Mr. Wei have already left the city earlier. The villain also saw that they were with Mr. Pang."
Only then did Wei Man suddenly realize that the two dudes were Yang Yue and Wei Zilian.
They are indeed the best of the dandies, but...
Neither Yang Yue nor Wei Zilian was reliable, and Wei Man suddenly felt extremely anxious.
More than that, Yang Yue and Wei Zilian are purely sexual, in Lin Rang's words, they are "face control". Wei Man is even more worried when he sees any beauty who wants to move forward.
Wei Man thought, no, Gu must go and see for himself.
Wei Man said, "What are they doing out of the city?"
"This……"
The servant hesitated for a while, Wei Man frowned and said, "Is there anything I can't say? Is there something unspeakable?!"
"No, no, my lord, it's not some unspeakable secret..."
The servant said: "Master Inspector said... he wants to take Mr. Pang to farm."
"Farming?"
Wei Man wondered for a moment whether his ears were broken, which is why he heard this unbelievable answer.
It turned out that the servant did not have any secrets, but felt that the answer was too unbelievable, so it was difficult to answer.
Wei Man immediately got a severe headache, got on the Jueying horse, quickly drank the horse and left the camp, and also went to the farmland in the city.
When Wei Man arrived at the city gate, he heard "hahaha" laughter, as if someone was about to suffer.
The laughter was very recognizable, and one could tell it was the duet of Yang Yue and Wei Zilian.
Wei Man drove his horse over, and saw a man like a mud monkey standing in the middle of the field, dripping muddy water, his hair was dirty, his temples were loose, and he was extremely embarrassed.
The three of them stood outside the farmland, Yang Yue and Wei Zilian clapped their hands and laughed, Lin Rang stood tall, smiling all over his face.
Wei Man took a closer look, isn't that mud monkey exactly Pangtu?
Pontu was standing in the mud, almost going to explode. He felt that his chest was congested and was about to burst. The expression on his face was fierce and aggrieved. I really felt pity for his small appearance.
Wei Man was very helpless, and rubbed his forehead. At first, he was worried that Lin Rang would be seduced by Pangtu, but now he saw...
It's too much to worry about.
Not only that, he felt a little sorry for Pontu.
Thinking about him, Pang Tu, a famous person, how had he ever been wronged like this since he was a child?Even if he came to Yanzhou with Chen Ji, he would be a mastermind.
Not to mention being abandoned by the lord now, but also to suffer here, it's a double blow.
"Big brother! Big brother is here!"
Wei Zilian was the first to see Wei Man, and quickly waved his hands and shouted.
Wei Man drove his horse over, jumped off the horse, looked at Pangtu who was like a mud monkey, and said to Lin Rang in a low voice: "Lin Rang, take it easy, you made him cry like this, how will Pangtu submit to us in the future? He has the smallest mind and will hold grudges."
Lin Rang said lightly: "It's okay, Pangtu's vigor was not polished by Jean, but by Chen Ji and those horse bandits. It is Pangtu's vigor that I like. Now that his brilliance is gone, if it is not poured on the fire You, how do you bring Pontu back to life?"
It turned out to be the aggressive method...
But this is too offensive.
Lin Rang said nothing more, moved his eyes slightly, and said, "Mr. Pang, you can come back."
Pontu stood in the farmland, and when he heard these words, he felt like the sound of heaven, he hurriedly ran up from the ground, shook the mud on his robe vigorously, and snorted twice on his face.
Lin Rang said lightly: "Mr. Pang, Duke Wei is pleading for you. If that's the case, you don't have to come to work in the farmland in the future. Anyway, your farming skills seem to be against the farmland."
Pangtu was taken aback, and looked at Wei Man. Didn't he expect Wei Man to plead for him?
Lin Rang said again: "Even so, Mr. Pang, you will follow Wei Gong in the future and serve tea and water."
Wei Man quickly pulled Lin Rang and said, "Wait, you asked him to follow Gu? What are you doing with Gu?"
Lin Rang said: "General Zhao Dian is very busy now, and you don't have a 'calling girl' by your side, so why don't you send one to Duke Wei?"
Wei Man said repeatedly: "I don't need to wait for 'calling a girl'."
Lin Rang raised his eyebrows and said, "Duke Wei really doesn't need it, then... we can only let Mr. Pang accompany Rang day and night, and serve Rang so that he can live and live?"
Wei Man: "..."
The sourness in Wei Man's heart surged up in an instant, still "living"? !
How can there be any reason to push a rival in love to one's lover?Unless Wei Man's brain is rusted.
Wei Man suddenly gave a "ferocious" laugh, and said, "No, it's fine to follow Gu."
Lin Rang clapped his hands lightly and said, "Then it's settled."
After a day of entertainment, Pontu went back to take a bath and changed his clothes, and he was deeply relieved when he changed out of his muddy clothes.
There was already a servant urging outside, "Mr. Pang, the Lord is looking for you, so I want you to bring water over there."
Pangtu severely suppressed the anger in his heart, responded, took the hot water from the servant, and went to the lord's camp.
Wei Man was sitting in the tent and reading the military newspaper, Pangtu brought in hot water and put the earcup on the table.
Wei Man glanced at it, said "En", picked it up in a dignified manner, and was about to gulp it down, when he caught a glimpse of Pontu's face.
It's not very handsome, it's just delicate, there's no way to compare with Gu, and I don't know why Lin Rang's eyes are so bad.
Wei Man usually does not eat less, but today he caught Pangtu, how could he easily make him feel better?
"Ho!"
Wei Man took a deep breath, and said exaggeratedly: "It's so hot! Are you trying to burn Gu Gu to death!?"
Pontu was taken aback by his gasp, and thought it was really hot, but then he thought, no, he came in with water and didn't feel it was hot, how could Wei Man look like he was going to be scalded? What does it look like to die?
There is only one explanation.
Find fault!
Wei Man took a puff of the earcup heavily and said, "Bring a cooler one."
Pontu held back his breath, he had to bow his head under the eaves, and quickly turned around to get some cooler water.
He came in with the ear cup for the second time and handed it to Wei Man.
Wei Manduan came over, took a sip, a little bit, and then...
"Ho!"
He took a deep breath again and said, "It's so cold?! Do you want to freeze Gu's tooth? It's so vicious."
Ponto: "..."
Pangtu took a deep breath and said patiently, "Duke Wei, this water is not..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Man interrupted, and said with a sneer, "What? You, a little servant, do you want to preach to Gu?"
Pontu had no choice but to keep silent.
Wei Man said: "In exchange, it should be neither cold nor hot, neither ice nor hot."
Pontu nodded, strode out, and continued to fetch water.
This time I really brought a glass of lukewarm water, how could Wei Man find fault?
But Pontu really underestimated Wei Man's scoundrel. You must know that Wei Man's temperament as a leader is all brought out. He is actually a serious scoundrel and playboy, which Lin Rang knows best.
Wei Man took the earcup and didn't drink it this time. He deliberately shook the earcup and threw the earcup on the ground.
"Boom! Gulululu—"
The ear cup fell to the ground without breaking, the water splashed all over the ground, and the ear cup rolled back and forth.
Wei Man deliberately said: "Look at what you have done. You are so clumsy that you wet all the paperwork. Hurry up and wipe off the water!"
Ponto: "..."
It was clear that after Wei Man caught the water cup, he deliberately threw the ear cup on the ground, which was too deliberate.
Just as Pangtu was about to defend himself, Wei Man said, "What are you doing in a daze? Do you know how much this earcup is worth? If you break it, you won't get the 500 million yuan, but you'll have to put it up instead."
Pontu patiently picked up the earcup and went out of the camp to continue serving water.
"Crash!" Pontu came out of the tent, angrily stomping his feet several times, seeing the dust flying up and splashing on his robe, he quickly dusted it off again.
Pontu thought this was not possible, so he didn't fetch the water, but went straight to the pharmacy, "Wow!" He opened the curtain and strode in.
Lin Rang and Lin Feng were dispensing medicine at the pharmacy, when they saw someone rushing in aggressively, they thought it was someone who was kicking the hall.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Pontu who was so angry that he was about to burst.
Lin Rang glanced at Pangtu lightly, and Pangtu immediately said, "I can't do rough work!"
Lin Rang continued to dispense the medicine without stopping his hands, and said, "Oh? What kind of work does Mr. Pang do?"
When Pontu heard this, he was suddenly at a loss for words.
Lin Rang picked up the herbs, sniffed them lightly, and said, "Mr. Pang, do you know that you are the one who owes the money, not the one who wants the debt? Your attitude is really..."
Pangtu did feel that there was something wrong with his attitude, but the key point was that Lin Rang and Wei Man made it clear that they did not want to pay back the money themselves, but humiliated themselves in different ways.
Pang Tu was born as a literati, and what he has the most is his backbone, so naturally he can't bear this kind of anger.
Lin Rang divided the medicinal materials into categories, handed them to Lin Feng, and said, "Put these in the air."
"Yes, foster father."
Lin Feng obediently took the medicinal materials and left the pharmacy.
For a while, only Lin Rang and Pangtu were left in the pharmacy.
Lin asked Shi Shiran to sit down, and Pangtu also wanted to sit down, but just as he was about to step on the mat, Lin Rang looked up coldly.
Pontu was so frightened that he immediately stood there, frozen.
Pang Tu belatedly realized that Lin Rang's gaze was really frightening...
Lin Rang picked up the water, took a sip, and then quietly said: "I said earlier, Mr. Pang is a cultural person, and he can use his brain to repay his debts, but Mr. Pang just doesn't listen."
Pontu squinted his eyes, clenched his back teeth tightly, as if he was making a decision, and said, "It's impossible for Pang to submit to the Wei camp. The governor should give up on this idea."
Lin Rang seemed to be mentally prepared, not surprised at all, and said: "I know, it is not an easy thing to make Mr. Pang betray, let alone... a disheartened Mr. Pang betrayed?"
Lin Rang got to the point. After these days in the hands of the horse bandits, Pangtu no longer had confidence. His sharpness and edges were all polished away, as if he was no longer the sharp and sharp Pangtu in the past.
Pontu doesn't even trust himself, so how can he help others?
Hearing what he said, Pangtu's eyes suddenly became dark, and he was very confused. Did he have no talent to be a counselor? to such an extent.
Now he has not only fallen into such a situation, but also harmed Yuan Hao. According to Chen Ji's temperament, Yuan Hao's proposition is correct, but Chen Ji will never admit it, and Yuan Hao's fate is more than good...
Thinking of this, Pangtu felt even more tormented...
Lin Rang seemed to have seen through Pontu's idea long ago, but he didn't continue to point it out, but said lightly: "Well, I have a business here. If you are willing to cooperate, I... will consider it."
When Pangtu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "What business?"
Lin Rang said: "Do you remember the bandits who robbed you earlier?"
As soon as he said that, Pontu immediately showed some ruthlessness, and said in a cold voice, "How can I not remember?"
Lin Rang said indifferently: "These bandits are deserters who have fallen into bandits. The governor ordered me to investigate. There are more than [-] deserters, and they hold weapons from the standing army. This number is not small."
Pangtu instantly understood Lin Rang's meaning, and said, "Master Inspector wants Pang to help you hunt down these bandits?"
Lin Rang nodded and said: "That's right, there are a lot of these horse bandits, besides...Although the governor is rich, this is not how we spend our money. To redeem your 500 million yuan, the governor intends to... to come back."
Lin Rang said, looked at Pangtu, and said, "I wonder if Mr. Pang is willing to come up with a plan to get rid of these bandits."
The bandits on the mountain burned, killed and looted, and the people nearby were in great pain.No one sent troops to encircle and suppress it, because the terrain of this mountain is very complicated, and those bandits are very cunning, so far no one knows exactly where their cottage is.
If you can't find the old nest, you won't be able to wipe out the bandits all at once. Only the wild fire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will regenerate.
Lin Rang said: "How about it, is Mr. Pang interested in making a deal?"
Pontu squinted his eyes. He is a narrow-minded person. Pontu was abused by those bandits a lot. Those bandits humiliated him so much. Naturally.
Moreover, Lin Rang didn't ask him to make suggestions to assist Wei Man, but just asked him to level a mountain. Pangtu still has the ability to do this.
Pontu narrowed his eyes and said decisively, "Okay, it's a deal."
Lin Rang smiled, showing a triumphant smile, and said, "It's a deal."
It only took one day, Lin Rang and Pangtu reached an agreement, and Pangtu came up with a plan to attack the bandits.
Everyone gathered in the tent of the shogunate, Wei Man sat at the top, the rest sat around, and Pangtu stood in the tent.
Wei Man said: "If Mr. Pang has any solution, just say it."
Pangtu was wearing a simple long gown, although he didn't have the brilliance of Yanzhou's mastermind, but it still couldn't hide his sharpness.
At this time, Pangtu was much sharper than when he was farming or serving tea.
It was as if he had returned to the main battlefield where he reunited after a long absence, and Pontu didn't know it at all...
Pangtu spoke in a calm and calm tone, and said: "According to Pang's knowledge, these bandits on the mountain are deserters from the south, and they are very suitable for roundabout warfare. The reason for being entrenched on the top of the mountain."
Indeed, Wei Man found out that there were officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress bandits in the past, and they all said that the mountains covered the sky, and even in winter, with lush dead branches, it was difficult to see the sun. , easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Coupled with the fact that these bandits are from the regular army and have many military qualities, it is inevitable that they will be very difficult to deal with.
Lin Rang said, "Mr. Pang, what advice do you have?"
Pontu chuckled, and raised one corner of his mouth. He looked like a treacherous minister, but his sharpness was sharp and radiant.
Pontu said: "These deserters have many advantages. They have been trained by the regular bureau, have their own leader, obey orders, have strict discipline, and are good at roundabout combat. They should not be taken lightly. But they also have a fatal flaw..."
Pontu paused, and said in a hoarse voice, "Greedy."
Pangtu turned to look at the crowd, and explained: "The bandit leader on this mountain, Mr. Pang, is very greedy. He likes to rob houses and block roads, but he won't let any caravans pass by. Let's throw stones to ask for directions. "
Let the soldiers pretend to be caravans and deliberately pass by the mountain. Since no one can find the stronghold of the bandit leader, and Pontu can't remember where the stronghold is, why not let the bandits personally send them up the mountain?
Pontu said: "Arrange stragglers to follow behind secretly. Once they enter the stronghold, they will be surrounded by large troops. The reason why these deserters are strictly disciplined is because they have a leader. They cut down the leader of the stronghold. They have no leader and naturally break up. Out of shape."
Let Pontu say how easy it is to encircle and suppress the cottage.
Lin Rang smiled and said: "What Mr. Pang said is true, so according to what Mr. Pang said, who is the most suitable person to be a merchant?"
Pangtu said: "Duke Wei and the governor must not go again. Those bandits are very alert. You two have been exposed. You can't try again."
Pontu paused, and then said: "Naturally, it is more appropriate to send people who look like merchants to do this."
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Zilian.
Seeing Pangtu looking at him, Wei Zilian could not help but smile and waved his hand in greeting, but was stared at by Zhao Dian next to him.
Wei Zilian shrunk his neck, quickly withdrew his hands, and put them on his knees neatly, with a "behaved" look.
Pang Tu also said: "Mr. Wei was born as a merchant. When it comes to the temperament of a merchant, Mr. Wei is perfect. Pang thought that Mr. Wei was invited to act as a merchant selling medicinal materials. It happens that there are many medicinal materials in our camp. Ready-made herbs are packed, and everything is ready."
He said, and looked at Lin Rang with a smile.
Lin Rang couldn't help laughing out "heh--", it seemed that Pontu hit Lin Rang's laugh again.
Lin Rang stood up slowly and said, "Mr. Pang, are you blatantly avenging yourself?"
Pontu smiled and said very humbly: "Lord Inspector, why do you say that?"
You know, medicinal materials are Lin Rang’s lifeblood. Who doesn’t know that Lin Rang cherishes these medicinal materials. Pangtu made a plan to use Lin Rang’s medicinal materials as props. .
A blatant public revenge.
Sure enough, Pangtu had something to say, saying: "Wu Han Taishou Yang Gong is good at fighting in waterways, walking and raiding. It is very suitable to ask Yang Gong to be a backup support."
When Yang Yue heard it, he hadn't reacted to the dream, and thought that Pang Tu was praising him, so he was immediately complacent and said, "Hi, it's so-so."
Yu Ziyuan: "..."
Yu Ziyuan glanced at the "stupid son of the landlord's family" beside him, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Although Pontu was avenging his personal revenge and carrying private goods, it has to be said that it is actually quite accurate and very feasible.
Wei Man ordered everyone to follow the plan.
When everyone left, Wei Man saw Lin Rang sitting on the mat blankly, squinting his eyes.
Wei Man smiled, knowing that Lin Rang also held grudges, and Pang Tu touched his herbs, fearing that Lin Rang would hold grudges for a long time.
Wei Man smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back, it's just some medicinal materials, I'll just let someone buy them for you."
Lin Rang said lightly: "Let Pangtu be stubborn first, and wait for him to enter the camp..."
Lin Rang didn't continue when he said this, but just smiled faintly, Wei Man couldn't help but get goosebumps all over the ground, and felt a chill down his spine...
Wei Zilian quickly prepared to look like a merchant, and set off with Lin Rang's true love's medicinal materials. Yang Yue was in charge of the straggler raid, and Jiang Duting was surrounded by complicated soldiers. Everyone quickly divided labor and cooperated carefully.
Lin Rang and Wei Man watched from a distance on the mountain, and Pang Tu also got up on his horse and followed them. They waited from morning to noon, and from noon to dusk.
Jiang Duting led the soldiers, frowned, as if he couldn't wait any longer, he said: "My lord, can't we send troops? There has been no movement for such a long time, and there may be some changes on the mountain."
Before Wei Man could speak, Pontu smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Those bandits are very cautious. Wait a little longer. If it's too late, there will be an ambush instead."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the mountain was peaceful, Yang Yue's stragglers did not send out any signal.
Right at this moment...
Suddenly, dots of flames lit up on the dim hilltop.
When Jiang Duting saw it, he immediately said, "It's a signal."
Lin Rang and Wei Man also saw it. The flame was small, but it spread instantly, and they could see it clearly from the bottom of the mountain.
Wei Man chuckled lightly and said, "Go up the mountain."
Jiang Duting received the order, immediately raised his hand and said, "Follow me up the mountain!"
Jiang Duting rode forward, followed by his own soldiers, the horse's hooves sounded like an arrow flying towards the mountain, towards the fire.
Wei Man and Lin Rang took their time, took Pangtu with them, and a group of about [-] soldiers walked slowly up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain.
Along the way, I heard: "The officers and soldiers are calling!!"
"It's Wei Jun!"
"Wei Jun is calling, run!"
The bandits in the mountain were in chaos, Jiang Duting led his troops to crush them all the way up, and directly caught all the scattered bandits.
Previously, the stragglers led by Yang Yue chased the kidnapped Wei Zilian up the mountain and left a mark. The troops behind only had to follow the mark up the mountain without encountering any obstacles at all. Sure enough, they found the village hidden in the mountain.
Yang Yue's stragglers had already raided the cottage, and the cottage was in a sea of flames, and the inside was even more chaotic, with constant shouting.
"on fire!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"We've been tricked! Wei Jun is calling!"
"Brother, what should we do!"
The bandits were in a mess, and many of them ran away in confusion without taking up their weapons.
Seeing this scene, the bandit leader hurriedly took his trusted brothers and took some money, so he wanted to take the road and escape, regardless of the cottage.
After all, these bandit leaders are deserters, so escape is his forte. At this critical moment, he naturally has no sense of loyalty.
When the bandits saw that the eldest brother had run away, their aura was even more slack, and they had no way of resisting. Most of them had been captured by Yang Yue's stragglers, and they all dropped their weapons and surrendered voluntarily.
The eldest brother and his cronies were about to go down the remote path. He threw off the sneak attacking Yang Yue and stumbled all the way. Because the path was too narrow, he didn't ride a horse, but just galloped down.
"Big brother! Big brother... slow down!"
"Brother, slow down, we can't keep up!"
"Slow, why slow! Didn't you see Wei Jun's soldiers and horses! If you slow down, it will be... ah!!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt light under his feet, and stepped on a net bag, and was instantly lifted into the sky.
He stepped on a trap!
The bandit leader was caught in the net, everyone was surprised when they saw it, and quickly shouted: "Big brother! Big brother!"
At this moment, suddenly hearing the sound of "da da da" horseshoes, people surrounded them from all directions, and a group of elite light cavalry surrounded them in the center.
"It's you?!"
The bandit leader saw at a glance that the man who at least came out leisurely was Pontu!
They arrested Pangtu a few days ago and asked Chen Ji to blackmail him. Naturally, the bandit leader knew Pangtu, but he never expected to meet Pangtu here today.
Pontu rode on the horse and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. Do you still remember this path?"
At that time, Pangtu was defeated by Sima Bogui's army and fled all the way. He happened to pass this mountain and was caught by the horse bandits.
Pontu also took this path, because it was very quiet, he thought no one would notice, but now that the wind and water are turning, the leader of the horse bandit ran in a panic and ran into his own trap.
The horse bandits saw that the boss was carried to the sky, surrounded by soldiers and horses. Although there were not many soldiers and horses, they looked like a well-equipped army, and no one dared to step forward to make mistakes.
The leader of the horse bandit was suspended in the air, and the net bag kept spinning in circles, swaying. The horse bandit was like a gorilla, baring its teeth and claws in the sky, saying: "Put me down! Let me down!"
The leader of the horse bandit was a little scared, and immediately changed his words and said: "You put me down, and I will let the brothers surrender immediately. I don't dare to have second thoughts. From then on, I will assist Wei Gong and be loyal!"
When Wei Man heard it, he said, "You speak better than you sing. I don't know if Mr. Wei knows."
The leader of the horse bandit fixed his eyes, pointed at Wei Man and said in surprise: "Aren't you the merchant who redeemed people last time?!"
When he said this, Jiang Duting sneered, "How dare you point directly at General Hussars!"
The bandit leader was dumbfounded, and said, "Wei...you are Wei Man?!"
Surprised, the leader of the horse bandit said, "Wei Gong! I am willing to surrender to you, and the villain is willing to surrender. As long as Wei Gong releases the villain, the villain will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, Pangtu sneered, arched his hands, and said, "Wei Gong, this bandit is cruel and merciless. The surrounding people have always resented it for a long time. The bandit can surrender, but the bandit leader must not be recruited. He has to be skinned." Cramping to vent public grievances is the right way."
Hearing Pangtu's harsh words, the leader of the horse bandit shouted, "Duke Wei, listen to me..."
Listening to their quarrel, Lin Rang raised his hand and rubbed his ears, and said, "Wei Gong, Mr. Pang has made such a great contribution to Wei Gong today, defeated the horse bandits, and captured the bandit leader. Why don't you... invite Wei Gong How about rewarding Mr. Pang with a bow and an arrow?"
When Wei Man heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay."
Jiang Duting immediately took off the bow and arrow from his body and handed it to Pangtu.
Pangtu heard what Lin Rang meant. Lin Rang wanted to sell him a favor, and the bandit leader arrested him and humiliated him. This was definitely a great shame for Pangtu, and he was afraid that it would be a shame for Pangtu who was proud and arrogant. Figure, I can't get through my life.
But now Lin Rang and Wei Man gave Pangtu a chance to take revenge.
Pangtu's face sank, and he immediately grabbed the bow and arrow.
Although he is a literati, he has also learned some self-defense skills, and he knows a little bit about bow and arrow.
Pontu immediately opened his bow, put on a long arrow, and aimed at the bandit leader in the net pocket.
The bandit leader turned pale with fright, and shook the net bag vigorously, but the net bag was hanging in the air, with no point of focus, no matter how you shook it, it was just like that arc, and it didn't hurt or itch.
Pontu's mouth curled up into a smile, and with a sound of "噗——", he released the long arrow suddenly.
The scream of the bandit leader turned into a scream, "Ah—" roared, and the dripping blood dripped from the net bag and sprinkled on the ground.
"I... my eyes!!"
"Ah—my eyes!"
"It hurts...it hurts, my eyes!"
"Snapped!"
Following the roar of the bandit leader, Pontu threw the bow on the ground and dusted off the dust that was not in his hands.
The bandit leader roared, Yang Yue had already rushed down from the mountain with his troops, sweeping up the fleeing bandits, just in time to meet Jiang Duting's soldiers, surrounded them on both sides, and wiped out all the bandits.
Yang Yue came galloping on a fast horse, with sweat on his face, but a feeling of heartiness, and said with a smile: "Inspector, look quickly, these silver coins are not less than [-] white coins, more than that, More than enough!"
Yang Yue waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately brought up all the boxes, put them on the ground in a "framed" manner, and opened the boxes.
Box after box is full of silver coins, not only that, but also all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, which are full of brilliance, which is really eye-opening.
Lin Rang got off his horse and went to count the money himself. The 500 million money was too much to count, not to mention that there was only a lot more here.
Lin Rang said lightly: "It seems... this investment has made a good profit."
Wei Man thought that the 500 million yuan was for nothing, but Lin Rang, although he was a doctor, never did business at a loss.
Wei Man waved his hand and said, "Move away, take all the prisoners lightly, and escort them back to the camp."
"Yes!"
Yang Yue made a great contribution this time. When it comes to skirmishing and raiding, he is indeed a good player. Don't look at him as a dandy on weekdays, fooling around, and also likes to be greedy for petty gains, but Yang Yue is indeed a brave warrior.
Yang Yue came to Lin Rang's side, smiled flatteringly and said, "Inspector, how am I doing this time, can I take credit for it?"
Before Lin Rang could speak, Wei Man had pushed Yang Yue away, keeping him at a distance from Lin Rang, and said, "Duke Yang, Duke Yu is waiting in the camp to celebrate your victory. Don't delay, just go down the mountain."
Yang Yue curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "Stingy."
While they were talking, Pang Tu came over, bowed deeply to Wei Man and Lin Rang, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Duke Wei, and thanks to the governor, for today's revenge for Pang Mou."
Lin Rang said with a smile, "Mr. Pang, why is he so obsessed?"
After Pontu saluted, he paused and said, "Now the bandits have surrendered, and the bandit leader has been captured.
