Chapter 262: Suppressing Bandits (Part )

In the early morning of the next day, the bandits in Qinglong Village were still asleep when they were awakened by a burst of wolf howls.

"There are wolves!"

"The wolves have entered the village!"

Qi Batian, the leader of Qinglong Village, pushed the woman in his arms away, put on his clothes and stood up, cursing.

"These bastards didn't even know there were wolves. Are all the sentries dead?"

I have to say, he hit the nail on the head, all the sentries were indeed killed.

The members of the Wulin Alliance, each with a monkey soldier, sneaked into the village in the early morning.

Early morning is when people are most sleepy and most likely to let their guard down, not to mention the enemy has the elusive monkey soldiers.

The monkey quickly climbed up the high sentry post, pounced on the sentry and covered his mouth tightly. The people from the Wulin Alliance then leaped up and killed the sentries one by one with their swords. In no time, they had finished off the sentries.

Then the ruthless king led his wolf soldiers straight in.

These hundreds of bandits are not enough for the Wolf Soldiers and the Wulin Alliance to share.

Qi Batian was surrounded by Xiao Yinyuan, Qiao Xiaoyue and Li Chen.

Qi Batian naturally recognized the young master of Mingjian Villa, and could not help but angrily said: "Qinglong Village and Mingjian Villa have no grudges recently, and no hatred in the past, why do you want to destroy my Qinglong Village?"

Xiao Yinyuan said: "The Wulin Alliance is assisting the imperial court in suppressing the bandits, so the leader of Qi Village should surrender quickly."

Qi Batian gnashed his teeth in hatred: "What kind of Wulin Alliance is this? They are willing to be running dogs of the imperial court. They might as well change their name to Wulin Dogs!"

When he saw Qinglong Village being captured by the soldiers, his eyes were bloodshot and he roared angrily. He gathered all his internal strength in his palms, and his two palms suddenly turned pitch black. With a gust of fishy wind, they attacked Xiao Yinyuan and the other two.

Xiao Yinyuan and the other three had naturally heard of his unique kung fu, the Bone-Rotting Palm. There was a strange poison in his palm. If someone was hit by his palm, their bones would rot and their heart would corrode, and they would die in unbearable pain.

The three of them didn't dare to fight him in close combat. They drew their swords and swung them so hard that no water could penetrate them, thus protecting their whole bodies.

Qi Batian was at the end of his rope. He exerted all his strength, forced the three men back, and flew away to escape.

Unexpectedly, several monkey soldiers dropped from the sky with a big net and caught him on the head!

Qiao Xiaoyue and Li Chen rushed forward immediately and tightened the ropes. Qi Batian was immediately tied up and unable to move.

He used all his internal strength to try to break the rope on his body, but he didn't expect that the rope was extremely tough. Even with his strong internal strength, he couldn't break it.

Xiao Yinyuan couldn't help but be surprised: "What kind of material is this big net made of? It's so tough!"

Qiao Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I heard from the Marquis that this is the latest achievement of Longmen Military Industry. It contains soft steel, which is extremely tough. It cannot be cut by a knife and cannot be dissolved by fire."

Qi Batian was immediately discouraged.

How could their bandit group of a few hundred people be a match for the well-trained and well-equipped regular army?

What's more, there is this group of martial arts masters who have no moral principles!

Although the first battle was a victory, the soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army were very unhappy.

The battle was over before they even made a move!

These hundreds of bandits are not enough for the Wulin Alliance to share.

The soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army protested to Xie Changan, asking them not to let the Wulin Alliance troops go to suppress the bandits next time, and to give them some of the military merits!

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Okay, let's take turns. Now that we have cleared the Qinling Mountains, there is still Daba Mountain to go. Everyone will have a chance to practice."

At this time, they don’t know that this kind of “exercise opportunity” will become less and less.

The bandits also have information channels. When they learn that there is such a vicious bandit-suppression team with a large number of soldiers and generals, sophisticated weapons, and the help of elusive wolves and monkeys, who would still stay there and wait to be dealt with?

He had already packed up his belongings and ran as far as he could.

Xie Changan took action personally, abolished Qi Batian's martial arts, and handed over the bandit leader and bandits of Qinglong Village to the local government.

After the Southern Expedition Army "looted" Qinglong Village, they continued to march forward.

Then they wiped out Shenglong Village.

When Jin Zhongsheng, the leader of Shenglong Village, heard that Qinglong Village had been wiped out, he packed up his gold and silver valuables overnight, abandoned his brothers in the village, and ran away.

Shenglong Village was leaderless, and when the soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army attacked the village, the bandits were quickly defeated and surrendered one after another.

Even the farthest Yunu Village fled upon hearing the news.

Only the leader of Tianpeng Mountain Village, Zhu Gangyong, was an outlier. He was reluctant to give up the fine wine he brewed, so he simply disbanded the village, letting the brothers in the village pursue their own careers, while he stayed in the village.

When Jiang Li heard that he was not a wicked person, he advised him to turn from evil to good.

"Since you love wine, you can discuss with us Qi Tian if you have a chance to see if we can make monkey wine."

It is said that monkey wine is made by monkeys in the mountains collecting fruits and placing them in tree holes as food for the winter.

If food is abundant, and the fruits in the tree hole are not eaten by the monkeys, they will gradually ferment and turn into fruit wine.

Legend has it that Monkey Wine has a unique aroma, is extremely mellow and delicious, and is the best wine.

Zhu Gangyong was overjoyed when he heard this: "You actually have a Monkey King!"

He was addicted to alcohol, and when he heard that there was a chance to learn from the Monkey King how to brew monkey wine, he would do it even if the opportunity asked him to go through fire and water.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes. This man was a master winemaker. If he could be tricked into joining Longmen Trading Company, maybe he could be comparable to the wine fairy Hu Dongzhi in the future!

"After the Southern Expedition, would you like to join Longmen Trading Company? I can open a winery for you."

With Zhu Gangyong and the Monkey King, Jiang Li could imagine that this "Longmen Winery" would be famous all over the world in the future!

When Zhu Gangyong heard this, he was told that he would be given a winery and allowed to make wine as he pleased? Was there such a good thing?

He was overjoyed: "I will obey your orders, sir!"

Zhu Gangyong immediately retired from martial arts and joined the Wulin Alliance.

Xie Changan glanced at Jiang Li: I've been fooled by you again.

Jiang Li smiled and said: This senior will be a big cash cow in the future, he must be won over!

The Southern Expedition Army was unhappy. Aren’t all these bandit groups filled with extremely vicious criminals?

Why are they all either surrendering or running away, leaving them completely useless?

Xiao Yinyuan unfolded the "Martial Arts Power Distribution Map" again: "There are quite a few here in Daba Mountain."

But when the Southern Expedition Army entered the Daba Mountains, those villages had already fled upon hearing the news, and nine out of ten villages were empty, which made everyone very disappointed.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "There are no bandits on the mountain, but there are prey!"

Xie Changan thought about it and divided the 200,000 troops into ten teams, and the wolf soldiers into ten teams. Every day he sent a team of soldiers and a team of wolf soldiers to the mountains to hunt.

This can not only train soldiers, but also train the coordination between soldiers and wolf soldiers, and improve the food in the army, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

The Wulin Alliance, Longmen Medical Bureau, Longmen Military Industry Team, including the Monkey Soldiers, were led by Jiang Li.

After consulting with them, Jiang Li also divided the team into two teams, and together with the monkey soldiers, they took turns going up the mountain to hunt.

Under the instructions of Jiang Li and Xie Changan, the Little Eagle, the Wolf King and the Monkey King recruited younger brothers along the way, and the three special teams are constantly expanding.

Jianmenguan.

In a village in Dajian Mountain, three people were discussing something.

"The Sect Master asked us to wait for an opportunity to ambush the Southern Expedition Army. What strategies do you have?"

The person who spoke was Sun Bin, the leader of the Red Flower Society who was wanted by the imperial court.

Also present were Kongkong Sect's leader Gu Qing and Qianji Sect's leader He Xiangyang.

Gu Qing frowned: "Those villages were either wiped out by the Southern Expedition Army or scared away. There are only pickpockets among us. What can we do? Steal the Southern Expedition Army's weapons?"

He Xiangyang stroked his three strands of beard and said with a wry smile, "You can at least steal weapons and military rations, but what else can we do? Tell fortunes for the Southern Expedition Army? Play dice with them and cheat?"

Sun Bin took out a few paper packages from his arms: "This is the poison that the Sect Master got from the Western Regions and Miao Gu. It is silent and tasteless. Let's discuss how to poison the Southern Expedition Army?"

"Poison?" Gu Qing and He Xiangyang looked at each other and nodded, "That's not difficult."

What they practiced in the Kongkong Sect and the Qianji Sect were both manual kung fu, which emphasized "speed, ruthlessness and accuracy". It was not difficult to poison people without anyone knowing, but the difficulty lay in how to get close to the Zhengnan Army?

Sun Bin said: "I have heard that the Southern Expedition Army does not carry much military rations, and they are all supplied by Longmen Merchants from various places. We can let our people blend into the grain delivery team..."

"High, really high!" Gu Qing gave a thumbs up.

In this way, the poison can indeed be delivered without anyone noticing.

He Xiangyang also smiled and said, "Brother Sun, you have a lot of wisdom and ideas. No wonder the Sect Master relies on you so much."

Sun Bin said bitterly: "I just hate that my subordinates are so blind that they actually took action right under the noses of General Zhengnan and Marquis Jing'an!"

"As a result, all branches of the Red Flower Society were wiped out by the imperial court. Even I can only hide in this deep mountain!"
