The night slowly fell, but there was still a lot of noise outside Wutai City.

In just one afternoon, the men and horses sent by Liu Xing quickly swept around Wutai City. All twenty-seven villages were taken under the control and occupation of the Chosen Front Army in just one afternoon.

At dusk, Sun Yujiang, Wan Yafei, Zhang Yang and others each returned to the camp tent temporarily set up by Liu Xing outside the south gate with their subordinates.

As soon as he walked into the big tent, Zhang Yang first pouted and nagged: "Straight lady thief, there are still two Zhuangzi in Xishan, and today grandpa has no energy to clean them up for the time being." ”

Hearing his words, Liu Xing, who was learning about the situation in the county from Li Zhuang, looked up at him and asked, "What Zhuangzi is hiding in the mountains to make you so reluctant?" ”

"One is called Koujiazhuang, hidden in the Qingxi Valley twenty miles away, and there is only one plank road to enter." With a black face, as he spoke, Zhang Yang threw his helmet on the bookcase in front of Liu Xing and continued: "There is also a farther Hunter Valley, thirty-five miles away from the city. Brother Liu, it's not that I'm not going, it's that I'm going to go today, and I can't come back when I am young. ”

"Koujiazhuang, Hunter Valley." Repeating the names of the two villages once, Liu Xing turned his head to look at Li Zhuang: "Brother Li, what is the situation of those two villages, do you know?" ”

Nodding slightly, Li Zhuang replied: "Kou Jiazhuang is the Zhuangzi of the descendants of Prime Minister Kou in the Yuanyuan period, and the village is the old man of Kou Xun Kou. The Hunter Valley is a village formed by the spontaneous settlement of some hunters in Taihang and Wutai in Hedong and Hebei. ”

Halfway through the sentence, Li Zhuang lowered his head and picked up the household book of Wutai County from the bookcase, opened it and put it in front of Liu Xing, and continued: "There are a total of three hundred and seventy-two households in Koujiazhuang, and Kou Xun once served as a governor of the Daimyo Mansion. Over the years, he has never produced a Ding in the village, so the village has its own Zhuang Ding team of about 500 people. ”

At this point, Li Zhuang's face showed a look of resentment, and he continued: "There are one hundred and twenty-five households living in the Hunter Valley, and since the formation of the village, there have never been strong men and servants, and they refuse to pay the imperial grain tax. In the past, his subordinates and several predecessors had led troops there to collect taxes and levies. Helplessly, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the Hunter Valley, but their subordinates have been defeated by them three times, and they are a group of people and bandits. ”

"Violent resistance to the law?" As soon as he heard Li Zhuang say what the Hunter Valley said and done, Liu Xingwei smiled and said, "No matter how many villages with more than a hundred households can be dispatched to fight with two or three hundred men. Brother Li, how can you put together a team of 2,000 people, but you can't beat them? Let them violently resist the law? ”

The look of resentment aggravated a little, and Li Zhuang sighed: "The Hunter Valley is lonely thirty miles away, under the Phoenix Terrace, the terrain is dangerous, and there are cliffs on both sides of a mountain road. If you want to get in, there is only one way to go. The subordinates led people to the expedition several times, but they were ambushed by hunters who were good at bow shooting on the mountain road, and many brothers were injured and then defeated. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhuang's words were a little more helpless: "It's not that his subordinates are incompetent, he came to recruit an envoy the year before last, and he also sent 5,000 people to hunt the Hunter Valley." As a result, the defeated envoy was nothing, and he was shot blind in one eye and nearly lost his life. So from then on, Zhang Xuan's envoy ordered that his subordinates should not be allowed to provoke them again, and let them be free as if they were in the peach garden. ”

The Hunter Valley, which has more than 120 households, was able to defeat 5,000 officers and soldiers. After listening to Li Zhuang's words, Liu Xing had an idea in his heart: hunters are all good at bow shooting, if you can get the people there, Xiao Ye's subordinates may be able to have a group of strange soldiers similar to the snipers of later generations who specialize in cold arrows and long-range sniping enemies......

Thinking of this, Liu Xing smiled sinisterly and asked Li Zhuang, "Brother Li, do you want to take revenge?" ”

"Of course." Without thinking, Li Zhuang blurted out.

"Pass my general order to select and transfer all the brothers of the whole army who are junior martial disciples and above to assemble outside my tent immediately." After Li Zhuang finished answering, Liu Xing immediately stood up and gave an order.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Yang, Sun Yujiang and others had just walked into the tent, and everyone immediately turned around and ran out of the tent. When Li Zhuang ran to the door of the tent, he glanced back at Liu Xing, as if he had something to say, but he poured his mouth and took it back.

Seeing his expression, in fact, he didn't need to say anything, Liu Xing had already guessed what he wanted to say.

For martial arts practitioners, the initial stage is the third level of martial arts, three years is the first level, six years is the intermediate level, and the high level needs to have nine years of skill. As soon as Liu Xing's order came out, it was equivalent to summoning all the elites of the whole army who had 12 to 24 years of skill. The purpose of summoning these elites is of course very clear, that is, to raid the Hunter Valley to avenge Li Zhuang.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years, Li Zhuang was defeated three times by those mountain and wild people in the Hunter Valley, and he definitely wanted to prevent the army from going on an adventure.

But at this time, Liu Xing had already made up his mind in his heart to make a team similar to the snipers of later generations in his selection army. As long as there is such a group of bow and archery masters, Liu Xing can play many tactics with the golden dog......

A moment later, after a commotion outside the tent, Zeng Weijie walked into the tent in a bit of astonishment and asked Liu Xing what he was doing with those people, Liu Xing didn't answer and got up and walked directly outside the tent.

Looking around at the left and right and scanning the circle of about seventy or eighty people standing outside the tent gate, Liu Xingzheng said in a loud voice: "Among you, those who are good at bow shooting stand on the left side, and those who are good at mountain foot combat stand on the right side. ”

Hearing Liu Xing's order, the crowd "hula" dispersed, and soon divided into two teams. The team on the left is about thirty people, and the team on the right is at least forty people.

Looking at them, Liu Xing turned his head sideways and said to a few officials around him: "Zhang Heizi, Brother Wan, you two lead those brothers who are good at fighting in the mountains to make a strategy. Ye Tianlong is in charge of staying behind, and Fourth Brother Zeng and Sun Yujiang will follow me to take my brother who is good at bow and archery as a pioneer. Li Zhuang, you find a few brothers who are familiar with the terrain of the Hunter Valley as guides. Remember, today we are not going to recruit soldiers, we are not killing people, and no one is allowed to kill without my orders. Violators, beheaded. ”

"Yes!"

After everyone received the order and drank in unison, Li Zhuang finally hesitated and asked, "General, are you going to recruit those people in the mountains and wilderness?" ”

Nodding slightly, Liu Xing said, "Yes, I'm going to recruit those people." In the past, they could resist the law and disobey it, but if there is chaos and foreign enemies invade today, it is the time of national crisis. On the occasion of this national disaster, if they don't go out of the mountain to help me, the heavens will not tolerate it, and the ancestors will not recognize them. ”

"However, it is said that the reason why the Hunter Valley is so powerful is because its valley master is a strange person who is proficient in many immortal spells. With us martial arts brothers, isn't this too risky? If they fight again, general, his subordinates are really afraid that everyone will go and never return! After Li Zhuang said what he was worried about, he finally sighed lightly.

With a faint smile, Liu Xing said calmly: "Even if their Gu major is high, what if they are high? Demon Dao Zixuan, didn't you also give it to you, I took it? Don't worry, he has a strange method, and I have a cunning. If they come out to help me, I will treat them as brothers and sisters. Dare to resist, hum, I let him keep the chickens and dogs in the Hunter Valley. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Xing's sharp gaze swept towards the crowd and asked loudly, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready!"

"Okay, let's go! Target, Hunter Valley ......" order was issued, and Liu Xing was the first to pick up the "Hu Shuang" treasure knife and rush out of the camp on foot. Eighty soldiers with martial arts cultivation or above, and then the lightning generally ran out of the camp and ran all the way to the northwest......

……

Thirty miles away, in a cave more than ten zhang from the ground on the north cliff of the Hunter Valley. An old man with pointy-eared monkey gills who looked like an ape suddenly opened his eyes as Liu Xing and the others rushed out of the tent.

His eyes flashed with a strange light, and he muttered in a low voice, "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky? It's not here, but it's here. Could it be that person who flew from the sky? Is it destined that this outdoor paradise will belong to him? ”

The self-muttering stopped abruptly, and the monkey-faced old man flew up from the stone seat with a "whoosh". After landing at the entrance of the stone cave, he let out a clear roar at the valley outside.

The whistle fell, and after a small scene, three figures flew up from under the north cliff and stood at the entrance of the cave.

A middle-aged man in a leopard skin coat bowed to the monkey-faced old man as soon as he stood firm on his heels and asked, "Gu Master, what is the matter with you summoning me to wait?" ”

"Command it now, and get all the people in the valley ready to meet your host. The old man, the valley master, is going to do it today. After the monkey-faced old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but show a little reluctant look on his face.

Hearing this, the man in the leopard fur coat raised his head and asked in some surprise, "Host?" Valley Lord, do you mean that God is about to come? ”

Nodding slightly, the monkey-faced old man said, "Yes, this person is not from here, but he wants to go here." He will become a great thing, and you will be able to build immortal feats, a wife and children after you go out of the mountain with him. It's been nearly ten years since you returned to the Hidden Valley, and it's time for you to assist the host in regrouping. ”

"Okay, then I'll go down and let the whole valley go out of the valley to welcome the host." After the leopard-clothed man finished speaking, he turned around and waved his hand to the two people beside him, and the three of them flew down from the hole like wild geese.

The monkey-faced old man looked at their departing backs, and immediately looked up at the stars in the sky, and said softly thoughtfully: "The time is coming, the chaos will clear, and it is time for the old man to go back to his cave......
