A large flag slowly raised on the top of the mountain. At first glance, I thought it was "Xinghua Village" again. When the wind blew over, I found that it was written as "Xingzi Forest". Bandits of all sizes were exposed by the grass and trees, wearing homemade earth armor, and their long bows and short swords were aimed at the people at the foot of the mountain.

A silver light flashed on the top of the mountain. Chang Geng narrowed his eyes and saw a heavy armor that had come from somewhere and stood on the top of the mountain. The person under the mask could not see clearly and stood like a target.

The robbery and the Taoist robbery reached the head of Marquis Anding, and Chang Geng was ridiculous and terrifying for a moment.

But when he looked back, he found that Gu Yun was not smiling. Not only did he not smile, his face was ugly. He squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Idiot."

Chang Geng quickly changed his mind and lowered his voice: "So the collusion between officials and bandits in southern Xinjiang is not a legend, is it true?"

Gu Yun didn't say anything, his face became heavier and heavier.

During the Daliang period, the local specialty of the East China Sea was pearls, the local specialty of Loulan was fine wine, and the local specialty of the southern Xinjiang was Shanbian.

In the past two years, when the farming puppets were promoted, farmers could not find work. Some followed the merchants from the north to make a living, and some of them thought that they had abandoned the open and secretly followed the bandits. The cheaper things became, and the silver became more valuable. Fewer people were storing goods and grains, and they all stored gold and silver, greatly improving the efficiency of bandits' robbery.

The culture of bandits is prevalent here, and there are more nests than hares. It can be said that "wildfires cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze will grow again."

The Southern Xinjiang Army was originally a stepmother in the Ministry of War, and the funds were not enough, so they could not afford it.

Although the bandits win because of their large number, their general combat effectiveness is limited. If they face the regular army, they will also say that they will destroy one nest if they are killed. When they see the garrison, they will feel trembling.

When people have money, they want to pursue peace and stability, and don’t want to keep their heads on their belts all day long and be chased away by others - bandits are also humans.

So as this continues, the Southern Xinjiang Army and the local bandits formed a subtle symbiotic relationship.

Fu Zhicheng, the commander of the Southern Xinjiang Army, was originally from a bandit. On the one hand, he restrained the bandits and tried his best to make them collect money without hurting people. On the other hand, the military expenditure of the troops in the Southern Xinjiang Army was tight, so it is estimated that there must be General Fu's business.

Of course, collusion between officials and bandits is not a matter of being too ill, but Gu Yun knew that in the past two years, the emperor has promoted puppets and opened up trade routes. It is obviously a good policy for the country to enrich the people, but he doesn't know what the problem is. The national treasury is dissatisfied with the fight against the empty space, and military spending has to be reduced.

The south has just experienced floods and the disaster has not been fully fed, and the fight has started. At that time, the bandits and villages are running around, and the people will be even more harmed. If the court really replaced the commander of the Southern Xinjiang Army because of this incident, Gu Yun could not think of who could still conquer the Southern Xinjiang Army.

The two evils are the only way to take the least, and Gu Yun has no choice but to temporarily protect Fu Zhicheng.

After these two years, the ancient Silk Road will be completely built and the inland commercial road of Daliang will be fully opened. A batch of silver from overseas can flow into Daliang, allowing the country to breathe a sigh of relief. At that time, not only will the troops be sent, but the road from Bashu to southern Xinjiang must be repaired, so that the control of the emperor's distant place can be truly strengthened, and a two-pronged approach can be used to completely eliminate bandits.

Unfortunately, except for his worries, everyone else seemed to be unable to understand these things.

In fact, it may not be difficult to understand. It is just in their eyes that beating drums and flattering the emperor in the future is more important.

Gu Yun was thinking about how to protect Fu Zhicheng on the way he came, and he deliberately sent him a letter without hesitation. Unexpectedly, when he was halfway through, someone gave him such a trick.

Which bandits from the family robbed all their homes and even rolled up flags and beat drums? The other party clearly knew who he was.

What is the difference between intercepting and killing the imperial envoy of the court and rebelling?

Chang Geng has been deeply involved in the people and traveling around the world for many years. He has long been no longer confused about the current situation and people's livelihood. After a moment of thinking, the cause and effect will be clear. He looked at Gu Yun's expression and whispered: "Enjoyed Father, I think this may not be what General Fu meant."

Gu Yun said coldly: "Nonsense, how could Fu Zhicheng be so stupid?"

These big-headed bandits who occupy the mountain are king can be said to be very big and do not know a basket of words. If they want to find someone who can write and calculate, they have to share a accountant. Maybe they heard some leaked rumors, so they would take the initiative to rob them and try to make a move again, so that they could express their merits to Fu Zhicheng.

A bandit from a high place waved a simple copper roar and shouted at Gu Yun and others at the foot of the mountain, "Who is here? Let's sign up!"

Chen Yi was laughing and crying, while pulling an arrow from behind: "Master?"

Gu Yun: "Cum down."

The arrow in Chen Yi's hand almost broke out at the same time as Gu Yun's words, and shot the bandit with a copper roar like a bamboo shoot. A bird screamed and soared into the sky, and a sharp sound echoed throughout the valley.

The whole valley was in full swing.

Seeing this, Mr. Sun didn't care about it at all and grabbed Fu Zhicheng's handle. He was frightened first. He jumped out of the carriage in three steps and said one after another: "It's impossible to use it! The commander, you must not use it. There are at least a hundred bandits in this mountain. There are only a few of us. The generals have no armor on them. This is unarmed! There are also the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince is valuable and cannot be missed..."

Gu Yun didn't even look at him, and waved to Chang Geng: "Fourth Prince, have you put your skills down?"

Chang Geng bowed and said, "It should be enough to be a small cavalry under the command of the commander."

"Let's go, I'll teach you how to go into the mountains to beat monkeys."

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he rushed directly to the heights. Chang Geng did not hesitate at all and immediately followed. The soldiers of the Xuantie Camp were well-trained. Gu Yun immediately understood the commander's meaning and rushed forward one after another, leaving only Lord Sun's lingering scream: "Master, you can't do it--"

The next moment, his neck tightened, and his whole body hung up in the air. Chen Yi used the hilt of his sword to hang up in the air and threw it on his horse's back.

Sun Jiao rolled his eyes with a "gala" sound.

Chen Yi said helplessly: "Don't call Lord Sun, I will definitely protect you from death, don't worry."

As General Chen said this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself - the young master of the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Dashuai, has been following his mother from home since he was a child, and he got used to it. When he grew up, he found that there was no mother in Xuantieying, so he simply regarded Chen as an old mother. It was really a big deal.

Having said that, Chen Yi looked at Lord Sun who was fainting while rolling his eyes and said to himself: "This is the first time I have seen a minister who looks so much like a eunuch."

On the top of the mountain, the little bandit said to the bandit leader: "Brother, I heard the eunuch called Dashen just now."

The bandit leader buried himself in the heavy armor. Hearing this, he pushed the iron mask and said angrily: "Nonsense, don't you shoot arrows yet! Encircle! Encircle!"

The trombone in the valley sounded again, and bandits of all sizes rushed over, rushing straight towards Gu Yun and the kittens two or three.

The bandits, whether to be brave or something, set up a circle of encirclement with great fanfare. The people on this side ran down, and the other one was pounding basins and bowls, roaring and roaring from the opposite mountain to "encircle", running in a mess. Unfortunately, most of their horses were stolen from the caravans passing by, and they could not catch up with the war horses of the Xuantie Camp, and were thrown behind immediately. Gu Yun made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him immediately knew to divide their troops and scattered the feather arrow targets shot by the bandits, and they immediately became unable to form a system.

With a group of bandits facing each other, Gu Yun drew his sword indifferently, and the long blade was like snow, and said to Chang Geng: "Remember, when you come to the front of the formation, whoever doesn't want to die will die first..."

Chang Geng was almost shook his eyes by the sword in his hand.

His sword was like a dragon, and blood was flying all the way, two in and two out, and the bandits and horse corpses rolled into a ball on the ground.

Gu Yun finished his second half of the sentence: "...even if your enemies are a bunch of food."

The bandit leader was looking forward to it at a high place. When he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately said angrily: "I'm asking you to surround me, what's going on!"

The little bandit next to him said with a bitter face: "Brother, I don't know!"

At this time, a black-faced bandit came over and said, "Brother, something big is not good!"

But in a flash, a light cavalry rushed up at the mountain pass. Before the bandit holding a trombone could shrink his neck, he saw a flash of sword light, and his body and head were already different.

Gu Yun had a great equestrian skills, and he was like walking on the flat ground across the rocks. He passed a narrow narrow path in the mountain. He swung the sword in his hand, and a scream came from behind the big rocks. There was actually someone lying in ambush there. He shook the blood from the sword, as if he had waited for Chang Geng for a moment, and said, "There are many blocks in the mountains, and there are often local snakes behind the blocking. You have excellent martial arts skills, so you may not be able to escape the plot."

Chang Geng glanced at the eyes and saw that the mechanism crossbow behind the stone had been set up, so he was waiting to shoot an arrow to hurt people. His horse was not a war horse, and he felt that Gu Yun was having some difficulty, but he felt that the blood in his body was getting hot, and asked, "Entertainment Father, how do you know?"

Gu Yun bent his mouth: "Handsome."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rock above suddenly rolled down. Gu Yun seemed to have eyes on his head, and he squeezed the horse's belly hard. The war horse suddenly jumped forward, and the mane on his tail almost touched the rolling rock. At the same time, Gu Yun left the saddle and stood up, grabbed a vine next to him, swung quickly in the air, and hung himself up. Chang Geng heard a "puff" sound, instinctively leaned back, at least not letting his cruel adoptive father splatter his face with blood from a high point.

Gu Yun looked at him from a high place and raised his eyebrows and blew a long whistle, and the horse immediately followed with a well-trained look.

Chang Geng's heart was beating wildly, and Gu Yun's smile was about to suck his soul away.

Gu Yun shouted at him from a high place: "Watch monkeys in the mountains, remember to grab the high place first-"

At this time, the bandits' joke-like "encirclement" was completely in chaos. Several high passes were occupied in a flash. The bandits became a group of headless flies, running around and were killed by arrows falling from high places. Chang Geng hurriedly chased after him, and saw Gu Yun turn over and get on the horse again, and at the same time, he picked up a special arrow from behind.

The bow and arrow were very thick. The long bow weighed at least a few dozen kilograms, and it had a small box the size of a thumb. Chang Geng's eyelids twitched and he thought to himself: "Is there a gold box on the bow?"

The next moment, the white steam radiated from the longbow confirmed his guess. The arrow shaft seemed to be iron. When it came out, it made a sharp sound, as if twenty monkeys drilled into the sky at the same time, and the iron arrow was like a reduced white rainbow, passing through the sun. The sound of gold and stone rippled like waves in the mountains, and the iron arrow was in the middle of a huge rock.

The dust was flying like a wild horse, and the big stone shook for a moment and fell without warning.

The monkeys scattered around, but the bandit leader was hindered from his movements by heavy armor on his body. He took a moment to raise his head - he didn't have time to see anything. He had already buried his armor in the "boom" below.

Chang Geng smiled and said, "Enjoyed Father, I know this, is it true that you capture the thief and the king?"

He was protected by Gu Yun all the way, whistling by hundreds of bandits, not even his hair was messy, his clothes flew, and he still looked like a handsome young man.

Gu Yun said "tsk" in his heart and said to himself: "It's over. Next time I go back to the capital, I'm afraid the little girl who throws my handkerchiefs will be half the less."

Half an hour later, Gu Yun brought his "unarmed" Xuan Iron Camp soldiers to the bandit's nest in a swagger.

When most of the bandits saw their silver-shining boss die, they immediately fled "hula". Their terrain was familiar, and once they scattered into the mountains and forests, they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Gu Yun brought few people, so it was inconvenient to chase him. He only tied up a few people who didn't have time to run away, and wore them like quails.

Gu Yun sat down on the bandit leader's tiger skin chair, but felt something was wrong, so he stood up and lifted the tiger skin on the chair, and was amused: "The throne of King Guishan is really unique."

I saw that the four legs under the majestic tiger-skin chair had been sawed off, and there was a pile of gold bricks underneath, with a layer of wooden boards plunged on it.

Gu Yun: "Can you lay a golden egg while sitting here?"

Shen Yi coughed dryly and signaled the commander to speak.

At this time, Lord Sun, who had just been so scared that he had wet his pants, changed his pants and returned home in a decent manner. Seeing this, he immediately realized that he would not come again. He changed his bear look that he had just screamed and said, "Who gave you the courage to rob the imperial envoy along the way? Who is in charge of this matter? Say!"

Chang Geng was originally holding Gu Yun's special bow, but when he heard this, he looked up and said, "The imperial envoy is a co-conspirator. As long as he is not a bandit leader, ordinary bandits may be a condo. He is an extra hero like you..."

He said that there was no following here, but he just smiled meaningfully, ignored the trembling bandits, and seemed to have just mentioned it accidentally, quickly turned his attention to others, and asked Gu Yun with a smile: "Entertainment Father, your bow and arrow are so good, can you give it to me?"

Gu Yun waved his hand: "Take it."

Sun Jiao was so stupid that he couldn't tell what the Fourth Prince, whom he had never met before, meant. At first, he thought he had no airs, had a gentle temper, was good at chatting, and was not very cunning. Then he suddenly realized that he might have been wrong.

When Chang Geng said this, the bandits were not that stupid, and they immediately stamped their feet and pounded their chests and cried.

"I don't know if the imperial envoy arrived, so please spare my life!"

"It is not easy to make a living on the road. In our small place, we can't stand alone for ten days and half a month. Who knew that when we opened, we met the imperial envoy, and the grass people were wronged... Oh no, it is not wronged. The grass people have old people and young people, so it's not easy!"

Sun Jiao: “…”

At this moment, a soldier from Xuan Iron Camp suddenly walked in quickly and attached himself to Gu Yun's ear and said, "Master General, the governor of the Southern Central, Lord Kuai, sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he heard that the Marquis was harassed by bandits locally, and he would bring two hundred generals and arrive immediately."

Gu Yun raised his eyes expressionlessly, just in time to meet Sun Jiao's sight. Gu Dashuai's body was not dry, and the color that flashed through Sun Jiao's eyes was scared back.

Fu Zhicheng was born as a bandit. Even if he recruited and surrendered, he had made great military achievements, so it was unreasonable to accept such a person as a rank-in official. However, when the Western Regions were rebelling, the Nanyang Xiaoya also took the opportunity to invade Daliang and wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob. Gu Yun had already gone to the west. There was no one in the court, so he had to treat the dead horse as a living horse and ordered Fu Zhicheng to lead the garrison in the southern border.

But Emperor Yuanhe was still worried about him. The governor of the Southern Central was specially designed to restrain Fu Zhicheng back then. He had two hundred elite soldiers in his hands and could engage in cheap work at critical moments. Although something really happened, even if these two hundred generals could not fight against the garrison in the southern border, it would not be difficult to break through the siege separately.

Kuai Lantu and Fu Zhicheng are enemies, and they are probably trying to kill each other, and the person who comes may have bad intentions.

Gu Yun: "As soon as I broke into the bandit's nest, Governor Kuai 'heard'. His news is more informative than the Land Lord."

Sun Jiao also knew that Kuai Lantu came too quickly and did not seize the opportunity. He hurriedly said, "To be honest, our trip should have been a secret trip. Who knew that we encountered the Fourth Prince on the way, how could the prince take risks? He had to notify the governor of the South China to support Yi2..."

"Mr. Sun is intent," Chang Geng smiled, "But how do you know that going south is taking risks?"

Sun Jiao probably knew that his backer was approaching, and his back was a little straight, and bowed: "This time, I was in the Southwest Pacifier Army. I heard that the bandits in the southern border were rampant. In case of precautions, I specially asked His Majesty for a blow to his Majesty before leaving. Unexpectedly, it turned out that way. Fortunately, the Marquis had been through many battles and was not in chaos in the face of danger."

Gu Yun looked at him with a sarcastic smile, not accepting this flattery.
