Han Xiong is a very ambitious person, at least he was a very ambitious person before. Ten years ago, after he took more than 30 people to start his robbery career in Nanshan, he has grown to 3,000 people today, and I have to say that this is a very capable guy.

But now his ambition has become a big belly, and ten years ago he danced the hunting and hunting slash. I don't know how many years I haven't picked up the saber again.

Most people are like this, after experiencing the initial struggle and struggle, and have achieved some achievements, they often forget their past efforts, which is often called 'inflation' in later generations. From thrift to luxury, that's what I said.

And some people who don't swell, they will continue to move forward in a down-to-earth manner, so as to make a big career.

Tang Ning held a cup of tea and looked at Han Xiong, who was sitting in front of him with a woman holding his hands, and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, I met Han Xiong today, not Han Xiong ten years ago. Otherwise, he was really not sure that he could quietly tear up such a huge organization as the Nanshan Thieves from under his nose.

"Brother Ning, you've been here for more than three months, how do you feel?" Han Xiong seemed to finally remember that Tang Ning was still sitting opposite him, drank all the wine in the big bowl in front of him in one gulp, wiped his mouth and asked Tang Ning with a smile.

Tang Ning put down the teacup and said with a smile: "It's very good here, everyone is very warm to the kid, and the kid likes it here." ”

Han Xiong's grinning mouth became even bigger, and he waved his hand, and Zhu Sizhi, who was standing behind, threw over a bag of coins with an expressionless face. Tang Ning stretched out his hand to catch it, and couldn't wait to open it in Han Xiong's smiling eyes, and then said with some disappointment: "Big boss, it's useless for you to give me these things...... I don't go into the city, and you will send someone to deliver the things you need, but you really can't use the money. ”

Han Xiong raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what do you kid need?" ”

The woman in his arms covered her mouth and smiled: "What Brother Ning wants, of course, is a book." Didn't you see that he always begged Shen Cheng to help him pay attention to whether there were passing caravans with books when Shen Cheng went down the mountain? ”

Tang Ning glanced up at the woman, who was only in her twenties and had a beautiful face. Although Han Xiong was up and down at her, he was dodged by her shy twisting body one by one, and he didn't touch any vital parts. This made Tang Ning a little curious, wouldn't Han Xiong be angry because of this?

Han Xiong patted his head and said, "I forgot, this is still a diligent and studious stinky boy!" Ha ha! ”

Tang Ning threw a grateful look at the woman, and the woman also bowed slightly, which was considered a return of the courtesy.

"Okay, a certain family remembers, next time let them help you pay more attention." Han Xiong waved his hand and said very proudly, the woman next to him had already helped him fill the empty bowl with wine again, so Han Xiong scooped up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at Tang Ning, who was drinking tea slowly, he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a low horn sound outside.

Tang Ning looked at Liu Ling suspiciously, Liu Ling also squinted his eyes, looking confused.

After a while, there was a noisy shouting and scolding outside. A minion stumbled in and panicked, "Oh no! Big boss! The officers and soldiers are here! ”

"Don't panic!" Han Xiong stood up, frowned and shouted: "It's not like I haven't been here before, what's there to panic about, go get my knife!" ”

The minion hurriedly answered, and the woman also hurriedly got up, went around to the back hall, and took a pair of armor to help Han Xiong put it on.

This armor is not flashy, nor is it rudimentary. Looking at the appearance, it should be the common equipment of the Great Song army. In the whole village, the minions are wearing a chest armor, and those who do not have armor wear rattan armor, and those who do not have rattan armor wear leather armor. As for those who didn't even have leather armor, they had to go into battle shirtless.

That being said, there are still not many people who have armor to wear. Han Xiong in front of him, except for the lack of a helmet, his whole body was already covered with iron armor. However, it is obvious that this is not a complete set, and the arms and shoulders are not the same shape.

Liu Ling's face was full of disdain by Tang Ning, and the minion was also carrying a slash that was higher than Tang Ning. The saber hurriedly ran out of the back hall and handed it to Han Xiong.

Han Xiong moved a little, and then he was about to slash. Holding the saber in his hand, he sneered and said: "These officers and soldiers really don't know whether they live or die, the big defeat a year and a half ago didn't let them learn any lessons, and they dared to come here to spread wilderness, and I will teach them to look good today!"

Zhu Sizhi, follow me! Yi'er, you can send Brother Ning back first! ”

Liu Ling answered, and followed behind with his spear. Tang Ning became more and more curious about Liu Ling in his heart, are the spy agencies of the Great Song Dynasty all guys like Liu Ling? Ran into someone else's lair to be an undercover agent, and helped others kill their own people?

The woman lowered her head and waited for Han Xiong to go out, then took Tang Ning's hand and walked to the back hall.

Tang Ning entered the back hall, only to find that there were four or five women who were anxiously packing their bags, all in their twenties, each brighter than the other. The women who have been arrested over the years, young and beautiful, have all fallen into Han Xiong's pocket, and those who are poor and old are rewarded by Han Xiong to his own subordinates.

As for Liu Qi and his beautiful mother-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that he followed Han Xiong early, he would have ended up with a mother-in-law and Liu Qi would have ended up in the ground.

The woman called Yi'er by Han Xiong grabbed Tang Ning's hand, and said nervously when she entered the door: "Sisters, hurry up and clean up, the officers and soldiers are pestering Han Xiong, let's take this opportunity to escape down the mountain!" ”

After that, he said to Tang Ning: "Brother Ning, you are still young, and you have lived in the deep mountains and old forests with your master since you were a child, and you have no contact with the outside world, so you can't tell the difference between good and evil. There is no good person in this southern cottage, they are all robbers who do all kinds of evil, it is too dangerous for you to stay here, so let's escape down the mountain with us! ”

Tang Ning was stunned, and the reaction speed of these women was too fast, not at all like how they should behave after encountering such an unexpected situation. If I have to find a reasonable explanation, it is that these women have been preparing for today for a full year and a half. Thinking of this, Tang Ning was a little sad, the Nanshan thieves were notorious, and they were the one who caused the disaster, and I don't know how many poor women like Yi'er fell into the hands of the Nanshan thieves.

In the Song Dynasty before Zhu Xi appeared, although the concept of women's chastity was not so important, it completely depended on the woman's own consciousness. As a result, many women committed suicide by biting their tongues when they were caught, and many women who did not have the courage to commit suicide committed suicide after being arrested and humiliated for a few days.

Tang Ning has also seen a lot in the past three months in Nanshan. I only feel that these robbers are even more hateful than the invaders, at least the invaders are not the same race as the Song people, and the Nanshan bandits' ability to bully their own compatriots is a must.

I thought that the robbers of the Song Dynasty were all forced to go to Liangshan like the heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin, but now it seems that they are still too naïve.

Breaking free of Yi'er's hand, Tang Ning shook his head and said, "You guys go, I'm not leaving." ”

"Brother Ning, don't be stupid! You are a scholar, how can you collude with these bandits? One of the women said anxiously.

"If he doesn't leave, just leave him alone! Bai and his master have been reading the sage books for ten years, and if there is no distinction between good and evil, even if it is placed outside, it is also a scourge! The other woman said hatefully.

Yi'er looked at Tang Ning and said with some disappointment: "Do you really want to be like this? ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "It's not that the kid doesn't distinguish between good and evil, it's precisely because the kid can distinguish between good and evil, and he has read the sage book with the master for ten years, so the kid chooses to stay here." Ladies and gentlemen, please go first, the kid has more important things to do. ”

The other five women glanced at each other, all of them looked at each other, only Yi'er's eyes lit up, and she leaned down and whispered in Tang Ning's ear: "Brother Ning, you mean, you came here to destroy Nanshanzhai?" ”

Tang Ning bowed slightly, and his gaze was a little to the side. Although Yi'er was wearing a robe with a collar, Tang Ning was still a little short. Yi'er bent down to speak in his ear, and her eyes could be seen beneath the robe.

Yi'er got Tang Ning's affirmation, so she straightened up, which made Tang Ning a little disappointed, and she knew that she would just be silent for a while.

Shouts of killing began to be heard outside, and the fight had begun. Several women said anxiously: "Sister Yi'er, it's time to leave!" In a little while, the path we found must be full of people! ”

Yi'er took a deep breath and said to the women, "You ...... Let's go, my sister wants to stay here and help Brother Ning......"
