The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu led troops to suppress bandits, and he was quick, accurate, ruthless and steady. Today, the gates of Huizhou City opened a quarter of an hour earlier than other times. The army was ready and set out directly to the mountains. Even if the bandits had spies in the city, they would not have time to go up the mountain to pass on the news.

When the bandits in the city knew that the gates were opened a quarter of an hour earlier today, they would not be able to catch up.

If they really went up the mountain, they would meet a large army on the way.

Moreover, Li Fu had already arranged people on the mountain in advance, waiting to kill the lone bandits who were passing on the news. He killed one by one when he found one, and completely cut off the news between the mountain and the mountain.

As for the more than ten people yesterday, their appearance was too strange, so the people hiding in the mountain did not dare to take action. If they did, it would definitely cause a big commotion, and the other side had too many people, and it was not guaranteed that they could capture them all, so they simply let them in. Anyway, they would attack here the next day.

If they were to go down the mountain, someone would naturally follow them to see who they really were.

Today, the army arrived at the gate of the mountain stronghold, and the people in the mountain stronghold were awakened.

It's over, the disaster is coming.

After the bandits in the mountain stronghold closed the gate of the mountain stronghold, they didn't even have the heart to fight against the army outside, and they only wanted to escape quickly.

The mountain stronghold was in chaos, and no one cared about anyone else.

"Brother, what should we do?" asked the third brother.

He carried his weapon, looking ready to rush out and fight at any time.

"What else can we do? Run quickly!" The eldest brother said: "Just like before, there is a green mountain, and there is no fear of running out of firewood. Didn't those people give us money and goods yesterday? Take those things and let's go down the mountain from the back path to avoid the limelight. Don't bring weapons, otherwise it will be hard to explain to the government officials after going down the mountain."

"Oh, okay." The third brother nodded.

The three heads of the village hurriedly packed up their things and ran away from the back.

The other people in the village also ran away on their own.

The army besieging the village saw that no one in the village resisted, so they put away their bows and arrows and attacked the gate of the mountain village.

"Break the gate open!"

"Yes!"

The deputy general gave an order, and soon someone came up with a huge tree and began to hit the gate.

The gate was weak and could not withstand the tossing. It was knocked open in a few hits, and the people outside rushed into the village.

But there were not many bandits in the village at this time. They were just some old and weak who had no time to escape, and were easily captured by the attacking army.

"Check the whole village carefully, don't miss any place or anyone!"

"Yes!"

The army that went up the mountain to suppress the bandits was unstoppable and soon cleared the entire village.

The dozen people locked in the utility room were also discovered, because they were tied up with ropes, and the soldiers didn't know whether they were bandits or were tied up by bandits.

"Who is your leader? I want to see him."

The leader of the dozen trapped people said to the soldiers.

"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?" The soldier looked disdainful.

If he was so awesome, how could he be tied up here by bandits?

The man couldn't say directly that he was sent here with people, so he was choked by these words and couldn't speak.

The governor and the general who led the troops walked together, listening to the people below constantly reporting the situation.

"Governor, General, we found more than ten people in a utility room, tied up tightly with ropes. Their identities are not known yet." The general reported: "But one of them said he wanted to see the leader."

"More than ten people? Could they be passing merchants kidnapped by bandits?" The governor asked in confusion: "General, do you want to see them?"

"I am just ordered to lead the team this time, and I am not the leader. If they want to see the leader, they should see His Royal Highness King Jingyang." The general said.

The governor nodded and said nothing more.

"Then let's take them with us first." The governor said, "What if this is a plot of the bandits, disguised like this? If we let them go, wouldn't it be a trick? Let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"The governor is right, let's deal with it this way." The general nodded in agreement: "Come on, search them and keep them under strict supervision. Don't let them run away before the matter here is over. Take them back to Huizhou for interrogation before dealing with them."

"Yes." The lieutenant general bowed and responded.

In the back mountain, Li Fu led his men to wait in the dense forest on both sides of the path. If there were any fish that slipped through the net and ran over here, they could wipe them out in one fell swoop.

These people on the mountain are not good people. If they run down the mountain, they will inevitably cause trouble to the village.

However, the more he waited, the more he felt that something was wrong..

Why are there so many people?

How did the fight go on in front? Why did everyone run to the back mountain?

Li Fu could not imagine that these bandits were as smart as monkeys. When they saw the army attacking the mountain stronghold in front, they did not resist at all and only wanted to escape.

So they all came to the back mountain.

Well, this time they survived.

Seeing the hurried look running down the mountain, Wu Liangye led his men directly up and killed them.

After several groups in a row, finally, the big fish appeared.

There were three people, and there were several bandits around them who seemed to be protecting them. The three of them were carrying packages on their backs. The packages were heavy and looked like they were filled with a lot of things.

Li Fu saw that they must be important figures among the bandits.

Otherwise, they would not carry good things on their backs.

"Wu Liangye, keep those three alive, and don't keep any of the others." Li Fu said.

He wanted to ask the three people where the more than ten people who went up the mountain yesterday came from.

"Yes." Wu Liangye responded, and rushed forward with others.

This mountain is high and densely forested, with only this one path that is not easy to walk on. People can't walk around at all. Even if they want to run in other directions, the messy jungle branches, weeds and rocks will stop them.

Wu Liangye led his people forward and dealt with those people like cutting melons and vegetables.

"Please spare my life, please spare my life, we are just ordinary people."

"Humph, ordinary people? Ordinary people who escaped from the village on the mountain?" Wu Liangye said coldly: "We have been watching you for a long time."

"They are all old faces, and they are still ordinary people." Dong Jiu sneered.

Someone recognized Dong Jiu.

"Ah? Why is it you!"

In order to find out the situation of this village, Dong Jiu dressed himself up and came to the foot of the mountain as a deliveryman and entered the village.

Some of them had met Dong Jiu.
