Chapter 502: Bandit's Dream
Xu Qing really didn't expect that the big leader in front of him would have such a dream of becoming a general.
Last year, when the Chu State had too many disasters and couldn't afford to support the army, it was true that part of the army was laid off, but even if there was no disarmament, if there was a war with the physique of the head, I am afraid that if he rushed up, he would be dead.
Taking the road of military commander, if life is not hard enough and Bole is willing to support, it will be very difficult to get up, even several times more difficult than the imperial examination.
However, the State of Chu has always attached great importance to Martial Dao's military achievements. If he goes back and writes a letter to let the court set up martial arts, it may not be impossible.
This master can be regarded as born at an untimely time. He is familiar with military books but knows nothing about Martial Dao. If he can't survive on the battlefield, it will be difficult for a talented general to display his ambitions. If Chu has martial arts, the master may It's really possible to be a general who dispatches large armies.
Xu Qing looked at the master and said: "The so-called poor is good for oneself, and good is good for the world. You can't just command some bandits to rob caravans to get over your addiction to commanding an army, and you also killed such Many people."
The head of the family said very sincerely: "I said it from the beginning, I want money and I don't want my life, but if they don't listen, I can only do it."
The corner of Xu Qing's mouth twitched: "It's rare to see a bandit as principled as you."
The head of the family said proudly: "How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan?"
When Xu Qing heard what the head said, he couldn't help asking: "You don't want to make the den of thieves bigger, so one day the imperial court will come to recruit you, right?"
The big master snorted and said, "Why not?"
Xu Qing smiled disdainfully, and said: "Okay, save your lofty ambitions to realize in your next life. You have a lot of people's blood on your hands. If you send it to the government at this time, you may be able to catch up with the autumn queen." The last batch of Asked to Slash, the provincial ones will have to line up for another year."
"How about this, before I send you to the government, let me explain to you what will happen to you even if you are recruited: from the beginning, you are a bandit who is a troublemaker, commits all kinds of evil, and robs houses. Now, who in the imperial court, whether civil servants or military generals, can tolerate a grass-roots person like you?"
"There are many factions in the court, do you think that you have a group of people under your command is enough? There are talents in the court who are good officials. How many days can a fool like you with no power, power and background live? Who will commit crimes? Can you speak for me?"
"At that time, isn't it that you are asked to wipe out a den of thieves today, and a cottage tomorrow, and finally after the continuous conquests have exhausted all the people under your hands, your life will be over, and you still think about the imperial court? ? Wake up, this method will not work."
The more Xu Qing spoke, the paler the man's face became: "You...you...this...how could it be like this?!"
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that before he died, a passer-by accidentally punctured the dream he had always believed in.
After breaking the dream of the head of the bandit with stories written all over his face, Xu Qing, a little bit unbearable, stuffed two toffees into his hand as compensation.
After finishing these, Xu Qing returned to the tent.
...
next day
The sky is only bright
Xiao Ruxue came out of the tent and stretched, still wearing Xu Qing's robe.
Xu Qing was already waiting outside the tent, he seldom fell asleep in an unfamiliar environment, and even when he fell asleep, he slept very lightly, obviously Xiao Ruxue was the same.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and asked, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded, then shook her head again: "The mosquitoes in camping in the wild are big and fierce. They have bitten me several times, and toilet water doesn't work anymore."
Hearing this, Xu Qing asked, "Do you want to camp outside next time?"
Xiao Ruxue quickly shook her head, her two small hands kept waving in front of her body: "Don't think about it, don't think about it."
The guards of the caravan also woke up one after another at this time, and began to pack their tents and luggage.
They were already planning to break camp and set off.
The caravan brought a lot of goods on this trip, and it cost a lot of money every day they walked on the road, and every extra day they walked on the road meant an extra day of risk.
So if you can save a day, it is better to save a day.
Last night, because of a big fight with the bandits who came to attack the caravan, many guards of the caravan died during this trip. Now I have to go to the nearest city to recruit some, otherwise, if I encounter robbers again on the road, I will be in trouble. Not every time They all happen to have martial arts heroes to save them.
Of course, they are more worried about bandits who don't speak martial arts to trick them into sneaking attacks than bandits, robbers and others coming to rob caravans.
If they fight in battle, the guards may not be afraid, but if the bandits hide in the dark, it will be very annoying.
...
Liu Zhong and the guard commander Chen Yong also came out of the tent one after another, as well as the handsome woman from yesterday, Liu Zhong's daughter Liu Wanyan.
In this line of work, getting up early and working late at night is commonplace.
Just when Liu Zhong and the others were about to say hello to Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue, a guard suddenly shouted in horror: "It's bad! The thief caught yesterday is gone!"
When Liu Zhong and Chen Yong heard this, their faces changed suddenly. The bandit leader who killed without batting an eye escaped? !
With a sullen face, Liu Zhong walked over and said sharply, "What? It's gone?! Didn't I tell you last night that the shift changers should go into the tent every half hour to take a look? When did you run away?"
The guard's face was pale, and he could hardly speak: "Half... half an hour ago, he...he was still..."
Chen Yong's face was also not very good-looking, and he scolded angrily: "You wine bags and rice bags, so many people can't even look down on a bandit with an injured leg! What use are you?"
Liu Wanyan came over and comforted her father, saying: "Father, since the bandit has escaped, will he regroup his subordinates to wait for an opportunity to take revenge? If so, then this place is no longer safe, and we don't have many guards, so we should leave here as soon as possible." wonderful."
Hearing what his daughter said, Liu Chong nodded deeply and said, "Wanyan is right, not only are we short of manpower, but also the caravan can't afford to delay the trip, and we don't have time to spare someone to catch them back. The best policy is to leave early."
When they were packing up, Xu Qing looked around, but he didn't even find anything like footprints or blood. The man ran extremely cautiously.
Although the man is injured, he must not be able to go far, but there is a mountain not far from here, and the mountain is high and densely forested, and he is a bandit, so he must be very familiar with the terrain in this area. Wei guessed it would be difficult to find them, so what are they looking for?
But as far as Liu Wanyan said, it is probably impossible for the big leader to gather his subordinates to wait for an opportunity to take revenge. The two of them are in the caravan, and the shadow guards in the dark will follow them all the way. That was purely a gift to the shadow guard.
They can't wait for those desperate bandits to come and take revenge!
Where is this bandit?
This is clearly a mobile purse!
