Chapter 21: The Rebels (4)

"Mother, the child is back!" After greeting Zhou Li, Wu Han and the people who welcomed him, Zhao Xian returned home.

"You're back!"

"Li'er is also there!" Zhao Xi found that his mother and Li'er were talking about something, but they stopped talking about it when they saw Zhao Xi come back.

Xu Qin took pity on Zhao Xi's robe, handed a handful of cotton towels for Zhao Xi to wipe his face, and then went inside.

"Li'er is a good boy!" Looking at Xu Qinlian's figure, Mother Zhao said with a smile, but with a hint of worry in her smile.

"............" Zhao Xi didn't know how to speak.

"What do you think of Li'er?" Mother Zhao suddenly asked.

"Oh, this...... That's not bad! Mother, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"Xi'er, don't forget it, Li'er's mother died for us, almost like we killed, he doesn't know the situation now, what if he knows in the future?"

"Mother, didn't you say that day, Li'er's mother is voluntary......"

"Li'er's mother may have volunteered, but what would Li'er think?" Mother Zhao asked rhetorically.

"............" Zhao Xi didn't know how to answer.

"I know you like that girl, but you also have to think about the consequences in the future, and don't wait until you are deep in it to be sad and regretful."

"Got it, I'll pay attention." Zhao Xi had no choice but to say so.

But this matter is indeed a troublesome matter, if you have time to tell Li'er and Xu He about this matter in detail, whether it is resentment or hatred will go naturally. Zhao Xi thought so.

In the evening, Zhou Li and Wu Han were in Zhou Li's mansion, annoyed by Zhao Di, the guy who suddenly appeared, and they couldn't come up with a solution after discussion.

"Master, Zhao Yi is here."

"What? He's coming, what has he come to do? Zhou Li, who was annoyed with Wu Han in the study, was stunned when he heard it.

"Commander Wu, let's go out and have a look, and see what this little bastard wants to do?" Zhou Li said to Wu Han, who was also puzzled.

"Commander Zhao!"

"Lord Zhou, Lord Wu!"

"I wonder what Commander Zhao is looking for me so late?" After the greetings, Zhou Li asked.

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Today I went to Crouching Tiger Mountain to suppress bandits, and I got two things, I don't know much about these things, so I specially borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and gave them to the two adults." Xu He! ”

Xu He, who acted as Zhao Xi's personal guard, took out two gift boxes and put them on the table.

Zhao Yi slowly opened, and the golden light between them glowed with Hao Cancan's light under the illumination of the candlelight. In between, two half-foot-wide and one-foot-long boxes each contained a golden Buddha statue. Buddhism arose in the middle of the Chu State in the former dynasty, and later because of the Buddhism tax evasion, greed for money, and land occupation. Suppressed by the emperor.

"This is the red gold Buddha statue of the previous dynasty?" Zhou Li's eyes, which were originally indifferent, widened like two bull's eyes.

"I don't know, I haven't studied any of this, and this thing isn't of much use to me anyway, so I'll give it to the two adults?" Zhao Yi said indifferently.

A martial artist is a martial artist, and such a precious thing is not appreciated, which is worth at least half a million taels of silver.

Although this value is not small, but I also have to get a buyer, now in Youzhou except for the southwest, the rest of the places are afraid that no one is interested in this for the time being, even if there is, I don't have time to trade with others, a bad chicken has not been eaten, and it is a commotion.

"Commander Zhao has something to say directly, I'll see if I can help you do it." He took people's money and eliminated disasters with others. This time, Wu Han did not say any more objections.

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "This time there are two main things that need to trouble the two adults, one is that the ninety people who came back with me are going to stay here for ten days, and they have to do some simple training during these ten days, so as not to let these guys be wild for a while and cause some unnecessary things, so they need to use the threshing floor on the west side for ten days." ”

"That's fine!" Zhou Li said with a smile. I thought to myself: If you can get this valuable treasure with such a simple thing, I am willing to come a few more times.

"The second is those more than 100 mountain bandit captives, I need them."

"Mountain bandit captives, Commander Zhao, how did these mountain bandit captives get involved with you?"

"That's the case, most of these mountain bandits are helpless to calm the poor people, Crouching Tiger Mountain is repairing the town wall, I want to pull some prisoners who are less dangerous to do hard labor, and the right to atone for their sins."

"This, Commander Zhao, the young people in our town have been dragged away by you, and there will be more family members who will go with you in ten days, and these mountain bandit captives will stay in our town as coolies." Wu Han said with a smile.

Hmph, if you want to drag them to be drudgery, no way.

"It's okay, but I'm a little worried......"

"Worried about what?"

"My lord will take these mountain bandit leaders to receive merit, and there will be mountain bandit captives to do hard labor, in case other mountain bandits know about it, and then they will have the same hatred ............ enemy."

Wu Han's face turned pale for a while, and he said with trembling lips: "I'm joking, the mountain bandit captives should be taken away by Commander Zhao, after all, they were all taken by Commander Zhao." ”

Wu Han knew that the landlords and heroes in many places killed the mountain bandits, and were finally exterminated by other mountain bandits, and the end was extremely miserable.

"Thank you two then!"

After Zhao Xi and his party came back, the town became lively, and they all talked about Zhao Xi and his subordinate villagers. Those who did not participate in the village warrior watched with envy the people who came back and their families busy in the grocery stores, butcher shops, and hotels on the street, as if they were celebrating a holiday.

After listening to the stories of those who came back, it was like listening to a book.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, have you demons who participated in the township brave left Xinyan Town?"

"Yes, the new town we have built ourselves at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain will eat and drink well, and we don't have to be afraid."

"Haizi, I heard that you got three taels of silver this time?"

"Well, I killed two mountain bandits, and Lord Zhao valued me and rewarded me with three taels. What's the matter, my eyes are red, I asked you to go with me, you were cowardly and afraid of death, but as a result, we killed all the bandits, and we only killed three brothers. Even if they die, each family will have a pension of ten taels of silver, not to mention that they will move away with us when the time comes. Kuroko died, but his mother and two younger brothers were no longer starving. ”

"Alas! What's the use of saying that now? Don't I regret it now? Do you think you still have people there? How about getting me in too? ”

"Xiaopeng, I don't dare to accept this. However, we're going to start training at the threshing floor tomorrow morning, so you can check it out, and you might be recruited! ”

"Chirp......" A piercing sound sounded.

"Who, it's early in the morning, and you don't let people sleep!" Suddenly, the whole town was awakened by the cacophony.

"Big brother, what is this?"

Zhao Yi played with the things in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is a whistle, which is used for you to give orders, so as not to shout dumb." ”

"I'm ready to stand up! Although ninety of you have joined the Xiangyong team, if you are not qualified, no matter who you are, you will be cleared, and the people I bring don't need a rice bucket, what you need is an iron will. If you can't do that, what can you do? Kill the mountain bandits? Mountain and grassland bandits? ”

"I don't need you to say anything, I just need you to say one word - yes. If anyone is good in the past ten days, there will be a reward at that time, if anyone is not willing to train seriously, I think there are many people who are willing to participate in this village bravery, and your departure is really where they came in! ”

"Remember! I don't want to hear complaints in training, and whoever has a problem can say it after training. When you train, you just have to obey, obey and obey. ”

After Zhao Yi yelled, he let Zhao Jie and Xu He be in charge of the preliminary training of the two teams, while Lin Luo also joined the recruit training. What a way, who let him not see Zhao Xi's training methods.

Because of the greeting last night, Zhao Yi started training with his subordinates early in the morning, and on the side of the threshing floor, there were more than 100 people standing there with their heads down, they were the mountain bandits who were captured last time.

"That's the knight who defeated us last time, you see their training method is really peculiar, does it work?"

"Who knows, whatever!"

"Let's not worry about that, let's think about where we are now. The townsman who imprisoned us said that our lair was destroyed by this Zhao Xuan, and now he handed us over to him, and I don't know how he will concoct us? ”

"I heard that the more than 30 brothers who didn't come were killed by the townspeople, and said that they would be sent to Lexian County with the heads of the big bosses to receive merit."

"Oh no, he's coming!"

Zhao Xi slowly walked in front of the mountain bandit captive, and his sharp eyes slowly swept over the more than one hundred and thirty people. These people felt that Zhao Xi's eyes were like knives again, and they didn't consciously look at each other.

"You are now captives, and I will give you two ways. One, accompany your boss and Scar's head to Lexian to see how Lexian resettles you. ”

"If you go to Lexian, it's better to die directly, and send the life of a slave, or maybe you will be executed directly." After listening to Zhao Xi's words, the mountain bandit captives talked a lot.

"Second, submit to me, listen to my orders, from today onwards, you train with them, and in the future we will be brothers together." As he spoke, Zhao Yi pointed to Zhao Hai and the others who were standing in a military posture.

"I'll give you half a day to think about it, and tell me if you think about it!" After speaking, Zhao Yi turned around and wanted to leave.

"I, Chen Tieyi is willing to follow the adult!" Just as Zhao Yi turned to leave, a young man stepped out of the prisoner in the front row, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.

"Chen Tieyi, it's the kid who doesn't talk all day long, I thought he was dumb?"

"So he can talk!"

Zhao Yi stopped his figure, came to Chen Tieyi's side, looked at this twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young man, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: I'm afraid this guy's strength is not inferior to mine, his hands are thick calluses, and his body is wide and strong, and he seems to be a martial arts practitioner, but it's a pity, this person seems to be a little stunned.
