Back to the cottage, sleepless night.

The next morning, Yang Congyi went directly to the county lieutenant He, although he didn't want to see him.

After waiting outside the courtyard for a stick of incense, the official came out and said that the lord had told him to come in.

Seeing County Lieutenant He, Yang Congyi was not polite, and went straight to the point: "Lord He, we went into the mountains to hunt down fugitives, the March period given by Chen Zhijun has arrived, and now we have caught some fugitives, we should send them back to the city as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and accidents again." ”

"Yang Zhutou, you have been working hard in the mountains for a long time, so rest for a few days. As for the time limit for chasing the fugitives, I don't think we need to worry about it for now, it took so much effort to enter the mountains, and we paid the price of hundreds of people, we must arrest all the fugitives, so that we can only have the face to go out of the mountains, and it is too embarrassing to go out now, besides, the fugitives cannot be caught, and they will have to come next time, it is better to catch them all at once, and suffer less crimes. You tell me? He County Lieutenant took the teacup in his hand and tasted it slowly.

"Now we have lost most of our manpower, 150 arrests are fast into the mountain, now there are less than 50 left, enough to lose more than 100 people, what to do to catch the fugitives, it is better to go out of the mountain, next time. If I stay in the mountains any longer, I'm afraid that none of my brothers will be able to go back. Yang Congyi retorted directly.

"Yang Zhutou, you are greedy for life and afraid of death! Wearing the clothes of catching fast, you have to come and go in the wind and rain, the deep mountains and dense forests to drill, the sword mountains and the sea of fire to break through, like you to suffer a little hardship and fatigue, just shouting to go back, can you achieve great things? Seeing that you have the trust of Lord Chen at a young age, you have been entrusted with the important task of leading the five counties and one government to catch fast into the mountain, but I don't want you to be a cheating and slippery person, resulting in the loss of more than 100 fast catchers! In this way, are you worthy of Lord Chen? County Lieutenant He suddenly became furious, put the teacup on the table, and began to teach Yang Congyi a lesson.

Seeing the face of County Lieutenant He, he deducted all kinds of hats and black pots together, Yang Congyi rolled his eyes in his heart, but replied calmly: "Lord He, the deadline given by Lord Chen has expired, I just want to send the captured fugitives back to their lives, as for whether to continue to arrest fugitives, I think Lord Chen will make a decision." Since Lord He is dedicated to the public and looks down on life and death, please stay here and continue to arrest the fugitives, I will send the captured fugitives back first, and if Lord Chen asks to continue the pursuit, I will summon a group of arresters to come in and assist. I don't know if Lord He thinks this is okay? ”

Lord Chen has long said that he will be in charge of the arrest, and when the situation is unclear and it is inconvenient to call the shots, he will find the county lieutenant He, and now he has made a decision, but he just wants to report to the county lieutenant He.

"You kid has a kind, and you will feel good in the future. ! Lieutenant He was furious.

"I don't know if Lord He said this rolling word to Lord Chen, or to me?" Yang Congyi is not afraid, nor is he angry.

"I'm telling you to get out! Before noon, take those fugitives, get me out of the way, and don't let me see you again. ”

"Thank you, Lord He, farewell." Yang Congyi turned around and left, leaving He County's beard shaking.

"Bang" The sound of a teacup falling on the ground came out.

"A little official dared to talk to me like this, if it weren't for Chen Zhijun's face, he would have chopped it up and fed it to the dog!" Lieutenant He was furious in the house.

Yang Congyi just didn't hear it and left quickly. Time is running out, I don't know when the Zhongyi League will make a move, and now that he has offended the county lieutenant, if he doesn't leave quickly, when something goes wrong, he will definitely put the black cauldron on his head again.

found a few arresters, Yang Congyi ordered: "Gather all the arresters, take all the fugitives, and immediately go down the mountain and return to the city." ”

Someone asked, "Brother Yang, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?" ”

"Go into the mountains to hunt down the fugitives, the three-month deadline has expired, and you must bring people back to restore your life. Hurry up and call someone, and all of them will go down the mountain in half an hour. Yang Congyi explained.

"Brother Yang, we are still on duty, how to go?" A catcher asked in a dilemma.

"What kind of post are you on, and who arranged for you to be on duty?"

"General Liu arranged that most of their people moved things to Qianshan Temple, and there were not many people in Nitou Mountain, so we were arranged to be on duty." Catch the fast return.

"Are you a fast catcher or a forbidden army? Is it under the control of General Liu, or is it under my control? Again, within half an hour, all the catches were all down the mountain. Yang Congyi ordered again.

After this reminder, the catchers woke up to the fact that guarding the mountain is the business of the forbidden army, and they are busy with it, not to mention that people carry bags of rice, and in the end they all fall into people's pockets, and it has nothing to do with them, so what mountain should they guard. The catcher who didn't have a taste in his heart ran away in a puff of smoke, and hurriedly went to gather his companions and prepare to go down the mountain.

Half an hour later, all the fugitives who had been arrested and tied up gathered at the gate of the former village.

"This way out of the mountain back to the city, the road is not easy to walk, put your eyes on the bright spots, if there are fugitives who want to run, don't warn!" Everyone was stunned when they listened, what does it mean not to warn?

Without waiting for the catcher to ask, Yang Congyi's next words startled them: "Kill it directly, just take your head back, it's convenient and trouble-free, you don't have to guard, you don't have to and pee anymore!" ”

"Okay, Brother Yang is mighty!" There was a quick interjection and shouting.

"Okay, then wash the knife and pull it all out of the sheath for me." Yang Congyi shouted loudly.

When the fugitives heard this, their faces were frightened and defeated, for fear that the catchers would be lazy, so they directly cut them down with a knife, and quickly kept saying "don't dare".

After the lecture, a group of fugitives were arrested, and seventy or eighty people descended the mountain in a mighty manner, and the Nipple Mountain was empty.

There are often officials and soldiers walking back and forth between Nitou Mountain and Qianshan Temple, and the bandits nearby have long fled far away, Yang Congyi and his party, the journey is very smooth, passing through the village, you can also beg for saliva to drink.

In the afternoon of the next day, they encountered the forbidden army returning from the Qianshan Temple on the way, and the soldiers had been running between the two places for many days, and they were already complaining and exhausted.

In their state, if they want to return to Nipple Mountain, they will have to wait for the day after tomorrow, and by then Nipple Mountain is estimated to be a scorched earth, and there is nothing to miss about.

The catcher didn't talk to the forbidden army too much, and soon passed by.

Yang Congyi did not walk back to Qianshan Temple, and according to experienced hunters, it will take two and a half days at the current speed. Hearing this, he asked the team to slow down and told the catchers that there was still a long way to go back, and that they should conserve their strength and return to Qianshan Temple in three or four days.

Qianshan Temple needs time arrangement, they are going too fast, just in time for the accident in Qianshan Temple, it is not good to remove the suspicion, when the county lieutenant He and General Liu are furious, they will deduct the black cauldron and deduct it on his head, he can't stand it. You have to wait for the people from Nitou Mountain to come over, and everyone will go to witness the good show of Qianshan Temple together. Eight or nine hundred loads of grain, they really dare to fish! Just let them do it for nothing.

Under Yang Congyi's deliberate control, on the fifth day after the catchers left Nitou Mountain, a team of forbidden troops hurried from behind, caught up with them, and rushed all the way to Qianshan Temple.

Someone shouted and asked, "Brother, why are you running in such a hurry?" Don't move grain? ”

"I also moved an egg, the nipple mountain was burned by the bandits, and the fire was all gone." A soldier replied, not angry at all, but could still hear a little ease in his voice.

The grain was burned, what did it have to do with them, the last grain of grain could not fall into their pockets, but they had to run again and again, and their legs would be broken.

"Bandits? It's good that we left early, otherwise we would have suffered. "A lot of catchers shouted lucky.

"Don't be too happy, the brothers of the forbidden army are running in such a hurry, I'm afraid that the Qianshan Temple is not safe. Cheer up, don't let the bandits sneak attack. Yang Congyi hurriedly admonished.

"Brother Yang, you are too worried, we don't have a single copper coin on us, and the bandits come to trouble us, that is, we are full of food." There is a catch fast disagreed.

"Don't be careless, it's about to go out of the mountain, don't make any moths. Pick up the speed and have to get to Maeyamaji Temple before sunset. Yang Congyi gave an order, and it was not good to say more about the crowd, and immediately started to hurry.

Although the Loyalty Alliance has a plan, but the other side is not clear, do they have no plan? Originally, the fugitives were the focus of several parties, but the official army suffered a crushing defeat at Niutou Mountain, and things suddenly reversed, as long as the forbidden army reinforcements entered the mountain, the fugitives did not matter. Now that Nitou Mountain has been destroyed, it is not surprising that the former mountain temple should have been destroyed, and things have changed again, and it is difficult to guarantee that the fugitives will not become the focus of the fight again.

The position of the Loyalty League was favorable to Yang Congyi, and he naturally supported it, and he must safely bring these fugitives out, so that this operation to hunt down the fugitives in the mountains can be ended and the dispute will be temporarily settled. When Lord Chen knows the position of the army, he should be able to control some things, such as the county lieutenant He who only knows how to stir up trouble.

"What? Maeyamaji Temple was also burned down? Who is so bold? When the catchers got the news when they arrived near the temple, their jaws dropped in surprise.

"I can't tell, I didn't find any traces of bandits, maybe the weather was dry, and the fire naturally started." The catcher who went to inquire said.

"How much food is left in the temple?" Yang Congyi asked.

"I heard that the fire burned all night, and there were few people in Qianshan Temple, and it was dark, so the fire could not be extinguished at all. Not only was the grain brought from Nitou Mountain gone, but even the rations for the 600 people transported from Huaining were burned. ”

"There is so much grain in the mountains, and you still have to transport grain from Huaining all the way?" A catcher asked puzzled.

"What Huaining transported is everyone's rations, it is public grain, and what is confiscated in the mountains is private grain, and if the private grain goes into private pockets, can it be eaten for everyone?"

"It's fucking black! Such a good new grain, I drooled when I saw it, and he didn't give it to us, but gave us all the old grain mixed with shells and stones. Now it's okay, no one has to eat! Fuck those bastards! "There are bandits who don't fight in one place, and they open their mouths to scold.

"Don't talk about it, let's go. I'm afraid this place is not safe anymore. Yang Congyi urged.

"Brother Yang, we don't have much rations, and we still have three or four days to go out, or we go to the barn to plan, maybe we can find some food, and we will make up for it." There is a proposal to catch fast.

"You can't take it out if you dig it out, General Liu is watching it there, not to mention that there is not much, after a day or two of planing, seven or eight quintals will be turned out, and it is estimated that it will be one or twenty at most, which is not enough for the forbidden army to eat for a few days, where can we get it."

"Okay, let's not talk about food, save some, hurry up on the road, two or three days will be enough for us to go back to the city." Yang Congyi saw that it was still early, and there was still a period of time before it got dark, so he led the team to cross the Qianshan Temple and continue to hurry.

As soon as you pass the Qianshan Temple, the outside is within the jurisdiction of the government, that is, there are hairy thieves, and in the face of Yang Congyi's huge team, they don't dare to think about it, and they are still fast with knives.

After encountering a battalion of forbidden troops in front of the mountain to support the mountain, they immediately accelerated their speed, and finally returned to the city in half a day, and sent the fugitive to the prison, which was considered to be the completion of the task.
