Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Cheng Xiaolian still concentrated on being a bandit, although time was pressing, but if he didn't do anything, the result would be worse, so he had to go all out to do his best.

The next day Cheng Xiaolian got up early in the morning, and then began to train, a few days ago when Zhai Songjin trained them, Cheng Xiaolian was busy writing their military book to Confucius, but found that he couldn't use a brush, and he tried his best to learn the brush for a while, although it was still ugly, but at least it could be seen by the family, so he also asked people to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

And today he also began to exercise, physical fitness is only effective if there is exercise every day, pointing to the raid before the war basically has no effect, and generally the effect of this raid is that it can't burst out when the potential finally bursts, and it can't be compared with the toughness of others, and if you lose, the whole army will be gone.

And half of these thieves are people brought by Cheng Xiaolian, and they have no opinion on training. And those bandits, what they think is, as long as they have meat to eat every day, let alone training, even if they go to slaughter people, it is no problem.

After half a month of training, Cheng Xiaolian is finally about to start his first robbery career, and his target is not a gentry bully, nor a corrupt official, but a small rich man.

In fact, he didn't think about the gentry bullies and corrupt officials, but after thinking about it, he immediately gave up, there were more than fifty people under those people in the nursing home alone, coupled with the intricate local relationships, it was not easy for these people to kill people by surprise, and it was not so simple to come back alive.

It's better to be a small rich man, anyway, what he has is money, whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a declaration of human rights, there is no sanctity and inviolability of private property, and if he robs it, he will rob it, at most he will feel distressed for a while and starve to death. As for robbing the poor, Cheng Xiaolian didn't think about it at all, without oil and water, it is easy to harm the lives of the whole family, and it is better to do less of this kind of thing that hurts the peace of nature, so as not to give birth to a son.

After getting ready, Cheng Xiaolian took the selected thirty people to the village where they stepped on a good point, they had no horses, but they couldn't kill people by surprise, so they could only swagger into the village, and the village knew what was going on as soon as they saw this costume, and shouted loudly: "The bandits are coming!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian's expected scene of scattering did not appear, at least one man came out of each family, holding a hoe in his hand and staring at Cheng Xiaolian viciously, Cheng Xiaolian was a little embarrassed, and said to Zhang Peng: "I have no experience in being a thief for the first time, how can this happen?" ”

Zhang Peng scratched his head: "It's also my first time." ”

A brother beside him couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward: "Third brother, we used to come at night, they don't know how many people, so no one dared to come out. ”

Cheng Xiaolian patted him on the head: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The man's face was full of grievances: "At first, I didn't know that the big boss was going to take us to rob." ”

Cheng Xiaolian then remembered, he didn't say what to do before going out, and scratched his head: "I'm sorry, it's the first time, it's understandable to forget a little something, and it'll be fine next time." ”

The brother had a bitter face: "We're miserable now, you see that there are at least hundreds of people around, we estimate that people will be beaten to death today, and then hang their heads on the city gate building." ”

Cheng Xiaolian kicked him: "Look at your little potential, and you still come out to be a thief, it's better to go home and farm!" ”

With that, he walked out of the group and glanced at the surrounding villagers: "What are you going to do?" ”

An old man came out of the villagers: "You damned bandits, rob us of our food and money, we will kill you today!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian sneered: "Kill us? Then you come up, today's news will come back to the mountain, and tomorrow our big boss will come down with all his brothers, do you know how many brothers we have? There are one hundred and eight big leaders, three hundred and sixty small leaders, and seventy or eighty thousand small minions. We are here today to settle accounts with Yang Youcai, if you know each other, get out of the way quickly, otherwise you will get into trouble. ”

The old man coughed: "You really don't embarrass us? ”

"Do we bring such a few people to embarrass you?"

The old man nodded: "I'll all go back to my house, and no one is allowed to go out!" ”

The villagers of the whole village immediately evacuated, and the old man went home and asked his son to plug the door, and his son was a little puzzled: "Dad, their leader is a chick at all, and he brags about it, and there are no 10,000 bandits on the whole mountain, why don't we kill them?" ”

The old man patted his son on the shoulder: "Boy, let me ask you, Yang Youcai came to our village to pave the way or build a bridge for us?" ”

Seeing that his son was stunned, he continued: "Yang Youcai just took advantage of the opportunity of rising grain prices to earn us a lot of silver, is it good for us to slaughter these bandits?" Since you can see that it is a bunch of chicks, and you must not have committed a crime, let's watch them eat dogs, if Yang Youcai was so simple, there would be no scum left to be eaten. ”

His son nodded: "Sure enough, my father can see farther, so let them go dog-eat-dog." ”

Cheng Xiaolian scared all these people away with a few words, and his prestige in this group of people has increased a lot.

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Go, follow me to Yang Youcai's house." ”

He didn't have a very bottom in his heart, he originally thought that these people were scared away by himself, but the mysterious smile of the old man before leaving made him very bottomless, he only felt as if he had been calculated, but now that it has reached this point, withdrawing is a great loss of prestige, and he can only take one step at a time.

Yang Youcai over there had already gotten the news, and when he heard that this gang of thieves was coming to find him, he had a sore tooth, and he thought that he would not be able to cause trouble if he was low-key, but he didn't expect that there were still thieves who came to the door by name, if he exposed all his strength, it would inevitably attract the attention of others, if not, would it be true that this gang of bandits would let him bleed?

When Cheng Xiaolian arrived at the door of Yang Youcai's house, he saw a fat man standing at the door, like a girl at the door of a brothel beckoning customers: "A few little brothers have worked hard from the mountain, it is better to sit down and drink a cup of tea, and prepare enough gifts to offer, as long as a few of them do not harm the lives of my family." ”
