Chapter 21 021 Bandit Suppression (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Zhu Chongliu threw the two servants at his feet and said lightly.

"How much is the monthly salary for a servant? Is it worth risking your life for the Wei family?
"You better run for your lives quickly, or else when the army outside rushes in, swords and guns have no eyes, and you'll be killed by someone else's sword if you're not careful!"

Hearing that Mozhitian was not going to kill them, the two servants finally woke up from their dream and crawled towards the gate with a hole blown out by the explosives.

However, after blowing up the door, Zhu Chongliu did not choose to rush directly into the Wei family.

He just jumped onto the wall with a tiptoe and stood there waiting.

Just a dozen breaths later, he saw a Taoist priest with a long beard, a tall crown, and a square face, walking towards him with his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The Wei family has four courtyard gates. Since defending any one of them would be easy to be breached one by one, Wei Heming gathered the four foreign reinforcements in the living room, intending to wait for Mozhetian to arrive before joining forces to meet the enemy.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the sound of the explosives, Taohua Zhenren, the Taoist guardian who had the best lightness skills among the four, broke away from the other three and arrived at the scene first.

He saw Zhu Chongliu's slightly childish face from afar, and couldn't help feeling happy, and said loudly.

"God is really helping me, I never thought that the famous Touching the Sky would be a young boy.

Master, did you see it?

Since I took over the position of the head of the sect, I have been diligently teaching my disciples every day and making friends with fellow martial artists to help me, all in order to make the Gaoshan Sect return to its position as the leader of the Three Mountain Sword Sects.

This time, the Wei family promised that whoever could take off the head of Touching Tian would receive eight thousand taels of silver.

For the sake of my ancestors' legacy and the revival of my sect, I must seize this first achievement."

Before he finished speaking, the long sword in his hand had already shaken into a silver sword flower and struck Zhu Chongliu in the chest.

Pfft!

With a clean and neat dragon claw hand, he broke the sword in the guard's hand, grabbed a still beating heart, and shot out from behind his chest.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Zhu Chongqi kicked the body of the moralist off the wall and threw away the bloody heart. He looked up at the swift knifeman Chu Yi, the eight-faced Buddha Feng Yufeng and the red iron hand Jiao Huang who had just run over on the roof ridge, and said lightly.

"You guys come together."

But after witnessing the death of their companions, these fortune-seeking wanderers stood still and did not move forward.

"Two heads and one tail!"

Seeing their hesitation, Zhu Chongliu snorted coldly, stepped on the ground, and passed by the three of them like a gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them fell to the ground and turned into three corpses lying horizontally.

When Zhu Chongqi led a group of fierce men armed with swords and spears and rushed in from the doorway, Zhu Chongliu was wiping the blood off his hands.

He looked at the attire of the corpses and said in an exaggerated manner.

"Oh my, the Wei family actually invited experts to help out. How much money must this cost?"

"No matter how much silver it is, it's all ours now."

The two brothers looked at each other, laughed, and led their men into the depths of the Wei family compound.

Although they met many servants along the way, these people usually bullied farmers and tenants, and they would never dare to fight with the rebellious bandits.

Whenever they saw a large group of people entering the house, they would immediately drop their weapons and kneel down in surrender.

Along the way, they only killed a few frightened and barking dogs, used gunpowder to blast open a few blocked doors, and then attacked the Wei family's inner courtyard.

The robbery lasted for half an hour before the noise died down.

By the time dawn broke, all the Wei family's masters and servants had been captured and tied up with ropes.

At daybreak, they would be dragged back to the village for a public trial, where they would be judged based on their crimes and how long they would have to do hard labor to atone for the sins they had committed in their previous lives. Someone was putting out the fire to prevent the entire house from being completely burned down.

The porters who came from the mountain stronghold were loading bags of grain from the warehouse onto mule carts and transporting them back to the mountain stronghold as quickly as possible to fill the food gap in the stronghold.

Everything seemed in order.

Zhu Chongliu and Zhu Chongqi stood at the highest point of the Wei family, looking towards the direction of the Imperial Temple, feeling a little hesitant.

"It's almost dawn, and my second brother should have succeeded."

……

"It's almost dawn. Calculating the time, Master Juewu and Captain Xiao should have succeeded."

At one quarter of the yin hour, at the Imperial Temple.

The magistrate of Haozhou County placed a piece on the chessboard and rubbed his sore eyes.

The abbot of Yuhuang Temple, who was sitting opposite him, also had not slept all night, but he looked energetic because of his profound internal strength.

"Please be at ease, magistrate. Captain Xiao leads a thousand soldiers from the Captain's Office, and Juewu leads three hundred elite monks from my temple.

In addition, if we attack the Wei family after taking them down, we will definitely cause him to suffer a great loss."

Since the two allied forces set out, they have been playing chess like this in the Zen room for a whole day and night.

Due to the inconvenient transportation in this world, after the army sets out, they can only passively wait for the outcome of the battle. In fact, both of them are a little nervous.

But the abbot's skill in cultivating his Qi was even more profound. Not only did he look very confident, he also continued to offer comfort.

"Think that guy who touched the sky was just a small craftsman who escaped from my temple. How big a storm could he cause?"

Little craftsman?

snort!
In the past few years, the bandits have been causing trouble in Haozhou. In order to keep his official hat, the county magistrate spent a lot of money to suppress the news of the bandits and prevent the court from knowing it.

During this period, the county magistrate openly and secretly asked Yuhuang Temple for help several times, but the abbot said that he was an outsider and ignored his request to borrow troops.

But this year, for some unknown reason, a rumor spread in Haozhou that the person who "touched the sky" was Zhu Chongwu, who had caused a big disturbance in Yuhuang Temple that year.

After the abbot of Yuhuang Temple confirmed this information through extensive investigation, he broke with his usual behavior and took the initiative to invite the county magistrate to send troops to kill the robbers.

"These monks are too utilitarian. They can't govern Haozhou well if they hang out with these insects."

The county magistrate was disdainful in his heart, but still followed the abbot's words.

"Back then, Mo Zhetian was just a small-time bandit, and Yu Haozhou was just a minor nuisance. I never thought that in just a few years, he would develop into a serious threat.

According to the reports from the spies I sent into the mountains, this beast now has over ten thousand bandits under his command, and there are two thousand of them who are brave enough to fight.

This time, while this beast is sending troops to plunder the Wei family, we should first weaken his forces, and then launch a large-scale attack on the mountain stronghold. This will surely completely eliminate this major threat to Haozhou County."

Having said that, the county magistrate took a sip of tea and continued.

“Over the years, Mozhitianjie has robbed many wealthy families in the county, so he must have quite a lot of wealth.

After we take down the stronghold, our two families can split the profits..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, two objects suddenly broke through the window and landed on the chessboard in the Zen room.

The two men sitting opposite each other took a closer look and discovered that the two objects were round and bloody. They were the heads of Captain Xiao and Juewu, who were leading the troops outside...
