Now that the matter has been clarified, it is indeed a misunderstanding, Li Nan asked Cao Zheng to sit down, carefully asked the details of the bandits in Erlong Mountain, and when he returned to Yanggu County, he led the men and horses to exterminate these bandits.

It turns out that this is the ground of Qingzhou, Dongping Prefecture, and the Erlong Mountain is only more than ten miles away from here, and the bandit leader on the mountain is called the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, and there are four or five hundred minions under his hands.

After intercepting the passing merchants and travelers, the ordinary bandits will ask for a certain amount of money to buy the road, and they will let them pass, but this gang of bandits is extremely vicious, not only will they rob all the money and goods, but also leave no one alive.

The resentment caused by this group of mountain bandits was huge, so the successive magistrates of Qingzhou also reported to the Dongping Mansion to send troops to suppress the bandits many times.

Helplessly, the terrain on Erlong Mountain is dangerous, there is only a narrow cliff path in the mountain, three dangerous passes are guarded by the elite mountain bandits, there are strong bows and crossbows rolling wooden stones on the passes, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officers and soldiers have come to conquer several times, but in addition to the loss of the soldiers, there is no way to take this group of mountain bandits, so the matter is over.

After listening to what Cao Zheng said, Li Nan secretly made up his mind that he must exterminate the bandits in Erlong Mountain as soon as possible.

First, I hate the innocent people who have died in vain over the years, and second, this gang of bandits has been entrenched in this mountain for many years, and they must have robbed a lot of money, which can just be in their pockets.

After learning about the matter of Erlong Mountain, Li Nan said to Cao Zheng curiously: "I think you have outstanding stick skills, and you can even rival five armor guards, I don't know where your martial arts come from?" ”

Cao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "My lord praised it falsely, speaking of this, I really embarrassed the master." The villain was originally a native of Kaifeng Mansion, but an apprentice of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, surnamed Cao Mingzheng, and his ancestor was born as a butcher. The villain killed a good animal, but he was called a knife ghost. Just because I lost my money to do business, I can't go back to my hometown, so I am here to make a fuss, and the woman who went out to call people just now is the villain's family. ”

"Leopard head Lin Chong? What a famous character! ”

Li Nan didn't expect that this black-faced man turned out to be Lin Chong's apprentice, no wonder his gun and stick tricks are amazing, he can be undefeated against five people, if he doesn't break the trick with his strength, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to take him down, since this apprentice is like this, the master must be even more amazing.

Thinking of his newly obtained deadly throat gun, Li Nan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, since he didn't know marksmanship, then when he went to Tokyo to buy an official in a few days, he could go to Lin Chong to ask for advice.

Although there was a slight misunderstanding this time, but I got a lot of news, after everyone was full of wine and food, Li Nan took out the gold bars he carried, but Cao Zheng did not accept it.

While the two sides were humbling, there were a few shrill cries of girls faintly outside the store, and everyone listened intently, feeling that the sound was getting closer and closer.

When everyone came to the outside of the store, they saw an elderly man in his sixties and seventies with a white beard limping on the road, holding a little girl about ten years old who kept crying loudly in his arms.

After seeing this old and young, Du Xing laughed and said: "I thought something was wrong, it turned out to be a child crying." ”

Li Nan's eyesight surpassed everyone a lot, and after seeing that the clothes on the two of them were stained with a lot of blood, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Something is wrong!" They are afraid that they will be robbed, so go and meet these two men. ”

Since it was Li Nan who spoke, Du Xing and the others naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran over and picked up the lame old man and little girl.

The old man came to the front and back, and after a little look, he saw that Li Nan was the leader, and immediately put down the girl, knelt in front of him with a plop, and pleaded: "My family's convoy was intercepted by the Erlong Mountain bandits, and it is already fateful at this moment, I implore you to go to the government office to report the news quickly!" ”

"Alas!" After listening to the old man's words, Cao Zheng, who knew the local situation, sighed and said: "The Qingzhou Mansion is more than thirty miles away, even if you rush to it as fast as possible, I'm afraid it's too late, not to mention that the county lieutenant is as timid as a mouse, and he will definitely refuse to come to save people." ”

"Huh? How this should be for the better! ”

Cao Zheng's words made the old man feel disheartened, and he shook his head again and again, and he actually knocked blood on this soft land, which shows the great strength.

The little girl with pink makeup and jade makeup was extremely cute, and when she saw the old man kneeling on the ground in pain, she also knelt in front of Li Nan and cried louder and louder.

Li Nan heard that it was the bandits of Erlong Mountain who were doing evil, and he suddenly became angry in his heart, and said to the old man: "Okay, don't cry!" I am the head of Yanggu County, since I met it today, then I will call the shots for you, where is that gang of bandits now, and how many people do they have? ”

"You're the head of the capital?"

The old man stopped crying, and hurriedly raised his head and pointed in the direction he came just now and said: "My convoy is about seven or eight miles over there, because after the incident, Mrs. asked me to run away with the little lady in my arms, and when I ran desperately, I didn't see the specific number of people, and it was estimated that there were less than 100 people." ”

Li Nan originally planned to gather people another day and then exterminate the gang of evil bandits in Erlong Mountain, but at this time, he had to send an arrow, and immediately said to Hu Bing: "You and Xiaohong Xiaolu are waiting here, and I will take someone to go back as soon as I go." ”

Hu Bing objected: "There are quite a few bandits, you can take both of them with you, there is no danger here, and besides, I can protect myself." ”

She also had a pistol on her body to defend herself, and she really needed manpower, Li Nan nodded and said to everyone: "Okay, then it's decided, let's go!" ”

Seeing that Li Nan was about to kill the thieves with seven people, Cao Zhengxin dissuaded: "Li Dutou, I know that you are skilled, but there are at least 100 bandits in that gang, you still have to think twice, don't lose your life in vain." ”

The old man was overjoyed when he heard that Li Nan was going to kill the thief, but when he heard Cao Zheng's words, he also felt that something was wrong with this matter, if he harmed the lives of these good people for his own affairs, he couldn't bear it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hahaha!"

Li Nan laughed and said to Cao Zheng: "As the head of the capital, I have the responsibility of protecting the family and the people, and besides, the bandits are just chickens and dogs, and I will kill them all in a while, and then come to your store to drink!" ”

Today, the old and new parties in the imperial court are fighting against each other, Huashigang is poisoning the whole country, the officials are corrupt, and they are bent on making money, and they have long forgotten to protect the family and defend the people.

Picking up a stick casually, Cao Zheng said loudly: "Li Dutou, the villain is willing to kill the thief with you!" ”

The Zhuang Han who came to help from more than a dozen villages also said in unison at this time: "We are also willing to go to kill the thief together!" ”

Li Nan nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "Okay! If you have the courage to do so, then come with me! ”

It is only a matter of ten minutes for the soldiers of the army to run five kilometers, and the distance of seven or eight miles is nothing for everyone, and they are eager to save people.

"Damn, bad luck today! There is only this little money in the car, and this official is too poor! ”

"Hurry up and check it, make up for it with a few knives if it's still alive, and throw it into the woods."

"Hahaha, this official's body is delicate!"

"You bunnies, don't play her to death, you have to leave it to the owner of the village to taste!"

Hearing these words, Li Nan guessed that he might be late, and immediately felt murderous in his heart, and pulled out the P226 pistol on his waist.
