Chapter 62
Zhu Chong's subordinates and military households were still chasing and robbing the village. Zhao Cheng and Mei Zhihuan also led a large group of people to the village on the mountain. Liu Jun hid most of the gold and silver, and then sent someone to block and protect several important houses in the villages in the warehouse and the conference hall, so as not to let the guards go there.
Zhu Chong's subordinates also clearly saw that these houses were very important. However, when they saw the members of the Nine-Headed Birds guarding the gate with guns and swords, they had to turn around and leave unwillingly. The fierce attack ability of the Nine-Headed Birds made them afraid of this rural soldier.
They did not dare to attack the halls and warehouses guarded by the Nine-Headed Bird soldiers, so they began to loot other houses guarded by the Nine-Headed Birds.
A group of military households rushed into a nearby yard, and a group of women screamed in fear.
Liu Jun and others had not searched the house before, "Who are the female family members in the village?"
An old bandit who surrendered to the Nine-Headed Nine Birth hurriedly said, "That's not the female family in the village, but the meat ticket."
Liu Jun asked unexpectedly, "How many people are there? Are they all meat tickets?"
"There are five people who were robbed from the foot of the mountain yesterday. There was a lady, two maids and two mothers. It is said that the lady seemed to be a lady from a wealthy family in Wuchang. She was exposed to Huang Dao and wanted to return to Wuchang from Luoyang. She was robbed by our second master. She killed the escorted servant and robbed the lady back, intending to extort a vote."
When Li Chunjiang heard about such a thing, he immediately refused to sit still.
He hurriedly ran over there and shouted to the Huangzhou guards who were laughing happily, "There are tying up the thieves and bandits, so don't do anything randomly."
Several military households in the garrison were more and more cowards when they were fighting, but in this era, they were crazy and refused to let go. Liu Jun brought the man up and threw the knife in the back without saying a word. The guys were beaten a few times, and their faces immediately became blue and purple. They wanted to fight back, but when they saw that the bird gun soldiers of the Nine-headed Bird had raised all the bird guns and pointed them at them, they finally realized who was in front of them.
"Get out!" Liu Jun scolded without hesitation.
Several guys ran away with their heads in their arms.
Li Chunjiang took the lead in entering the house. Inside the house, a group of women shrank together and shivered.
Liu Jun glanced at it and found that more than five people were in the room, but he saw a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with two little girls and two older women around him. I guess these five were the meat tickets that the thief mentioned just now. There were several more women next to these women.
A group of women saw a group of men breaking in and screamed in panic.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We are officers and soldiers, and we are here to suppress bandits and save everyone. The thieves have been defeated, so we will rescue you immediately." Li Chunjiang spoke up while comforting everyone.
When the young girl heard this, she burst into tears and laughed, "Really?"
Li Chunjiang looked at the girl who was smiling like a flower and couldn't help but smile, "Of course, let me tell you a good news by the way. The second thief who robbed you up the mountain had just been shot and killed by my brother."
Li Chunjiang said while going forward to remove the ropes on his hands for several women.
But at this moment, among the women on the other side, a woman in her thirties suddenly rushed towards Li Chunjiang, holding a shining sharp knife in her hand.
Liu Jun shouted in his heart. He thought something was wrong just now. Now he finally remembered something wrong. Since these women do not belong to meat tickets, they are likely to be the thief's female family members, and somehow they hid here. Liu Jun couldn't remember these things for a while, and thought these women were also tied up to the mountain by the thief, and thought they were just another group of victims.
"Protect the public!" Liu Jun shouted loudly, and he held his sword and rushed towards the female thief.
Unfortunately, even though Li Chunjiang was not very good at kung fu, he was just focused on the lady, which resulted in insufficient alertness. As a result, the female thief started a sudden attack and actually succeeded with one blow.
The female thief rushed into Li Chunjiang's arms and stabbed the knife in her hand into Li Chunjiang's thigh.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Chunjiang made a blocking move. Although he was stabbed in the end, the knife went from stabbing into the chest to being penetrated into the thigh.
The female thief wanted to draw a knife and stab Li Chunjiang in the chest. Liu Jun had already jumped into the air and pulled the female thief out of Li Chunjiang's arms with one hand, then stabbed it into the female thief's arms with one knife and killed her.
At this time, the remaining female thieves also rushed over. Liu Jun slashed left and right, and chopped all the female thieves to the ground.
"Public record, how are you?" Liu Jun walked to Li Chunjiang with a blood-dropping knife, looking at Li Chunjiang who was sitting on the ground and exhaling in pain. "I can't die yet, I'm careless." Li Chunjiang smiled bitterly.
Liu Jun carefully checked and found that there was no big problem. The knife was inserted into his thigh, and the edge of the knife was very deep, but fortunately, he did not stab the artery and had a lot of blood flowed, but it was not fatal. If this knife went up a little further, Li Chunjiang would probably not be able to touch a woman in his next life.
The doctor who followed the team ran over immediately to help him stop bleeding and apply medicine.
Li Zhen stood there in a daze, unable to reflect it in amazement. The sudden series of accidents just now scared her. But it was very strange. In addition to being frightened, the young officer who rushed out later was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Even though he jumped, his handsome appearance, his handsomeness, slashing left and right, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his tall and mightyness made Li Zhen, a lady of 28 years old, deeply attracted him.
"Little woman, Li, thank you for your help just now. I don't know your name." Li Zhen suddenly made an act that surprised the maids and the mothers around her. She ignored the blood on the ground and the corpses of the female bandits, and even took the initiative to step over, walked to the young officer holding the knife, and asked questions.
Liu Jun was focused on Li Chunjiang at this time and did not care much about the meat tickets. What he thought now was that fortunately Li Chunjiang had nothing to do, otherwise the Nine-Headed Bird might have to be disbanded as soon as it was established. But even if Li Chunjiang is in good condition now, he may have a great impact on the Nine-Headed Bird in the future.
If the Li family let Li Chunjiang withdraw from the Nine-Headed Bird, even if the Nine-Headed Bird can be preserved, without the Li family and Li Chunjiang, it would be difficult for him to hold on to it alone.
I thought about these messy things in my mind, but I heard the lady’s bold question.
Liu Jun was in no mood to pay attention to her, his expression was a little cold, and he replied coldly, "Liu Jun." After that, he ignored her.
Li Zhen didn't expect that she took the initiative to come forward and talk, but he was so cold and didn't feel very wronged. He also thought that he was robbed up the mountain halfway through the way home. He could no longer hold it back, tears kept flowing, and cried out loud.
Liu Jun was afraid that women would cry, but he did not comfort Li Zhen, but simply walked away as if he didn't see him.
When Li Zhen was crying, she felt even more aggrieved when she saw it, and instead aroused a rebellious mentality. While continuing to cry, she followed Liu Jun.
Liu Jun walked away, she followed a little. After walking away, she followed a little. Liu Jun found that this girl named Li was a bit interesting and quite personality. However, he insisted on his attitude, and whether he followed or not, he just ignored you. I am not an old hen, and you are not a little chicken. It would be a matter of following me.
As soon as Zhao Cheng, Mei Zhihuan, Lu Jinxi, Zhu Chong and other officials entered the village, they immediately saw this extremely interesting scene. The captain of the Nine-Headed Birds who was eye-catching during the fight against bandits was lying on the stretcher, while the equally excellent Nine-Headed Birds deputy was turning around Li Chunjiang's stretcher, while a young and beautiful girl behind him was whimpering with her eyes and crying, following Liu Jun.
When Zhao Cheng saw this, he immediately had a bad idea in his heart. Could it be that Liu Jun had just molested the girl. Not only did he think so, but Mei Zhihuan and others also thought so.
It’s really the scene in front of you that won’t make people think so.
"What happened?" Liu Jun was his subordinate, so Mei Zhihuan was the first to ask. "Liu Jun, what's wrong with this girl, and what's going on with the public album?"
Liu Jun walked forward and briefly introduced Li Chunjiang's injury. Then he turned his head and looked at Miss Li who came to him again. He couldn't help but say innocently, "It has nothing to do with me."
"How can a damn person have nothing to do with you? If it doesn't have anything to do with you, then why does this girl always follow you? Why doesn't he follow me? Could it be that your damn person take the opportunity to improper the girl when she sees her beautiful girl?" Mei Zhihuan cursed. Although he was a serious Jinshi and had been a Shujishi, he had been an official in the border areas for half his life. During his tenure, he often led troops to suppress bandits and destroy bandits and often dealt with some martial artists. His temper became stronger, and he spoke very directly, and often swears.
Liu Jun spread his hands and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Li Zhen spoke by herself, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she protected Liu Jun.
"Young Master Liu did not bully me."
Mei Zhihuan became interested when she heard this, "Since he hasn't bullied you, what have you been following her?"
"I just want to thank Mr. Liu for his life-saving grace."
Liu Jun said helplessly, "I accept your gratitude now, okay, you don't have to follow me now."
Unexpectedly, Li Zhen refused to give in, "No, since you have saved me, you must do good things to the end. You must continue to protect me before my family comes to pick me up."
"You mean you're going to follow me like this before your family picks you up?"
Li Zhen opened his bright big eyes and nodded hard at him.
Liu Jun slapped his forehead and said, "Is this girl kidnapped by a thief, and then frightened, right?" The rescue of people has caused trouble. Besides, you have to thank you. You should thank Li Chunjiang for going there. He is the first person to come to save you."
Unfortunately, this girl only recognized Liu Jun, like a stubborn donkey, and no one listened to anyone's advice.
Liu Jun originally wanted Mei Zhihuan and Zhao Cheng to help him decide, but who knew that when the two old guys found out the situation clearly, they knew that the girl was not a bandit or a family member, but a lady who had just been tied up to the mountain, and actually clapped her hands and left. Before leaving, he left an order, "Since you saved the girl and now they believe in you so much, then you will do your best and send it to the West. For the time being, this girl will be left to you to protect. Remember, if the girl suffers a little grievance, we will settle the score with you at that time."
Zhao Cheng and Mei Zhihuan went to count the spoils. The thieves were basically taken down, and they were all pulled aside and cut off their heads with one knife. The headless corpses were thrown into a bunch.
The village was confiscated and a lot of money and grain were found, including hundreds of stones of grain, more than one hundred taels of gold, more than three thousand taels of silver, and many other kinds of gold, silver jewelry, silk and cloth. More than one hundred horses, dozens of cows, more than one hundred pigs, and another batch of tea and salt were seized.
Everyone was very happy about these unexpected results. Zhao Cheng directly ordered that pigs and sheep be slaughtered in the mountain village and stewed in a large pot.
"Each brother who participated gave him two pounds of meat and one pound of wine, and one pound of silver and one dou of rice."
"For every thief killed, you can exchange five taels of silver for the head!"
Zhao Cheng came down with several orders one after another, and cheers were immediately everywhere in the village.
A lot of people were seized in the village, and Zhao Cheng took out a portion of the rewards to the people who fought below. The remaining ones were Zhao Cheng, Mei Zhihuan, Lu Jinxi and Zhu Chong, who were divided up.
"This time, the Nine-Headed Birds will be the first to win the thief bandits." Zhao Cheng unexpectedly raised the Nine-Headed Birds, which seemed to allow the Nine-Headed Birds, who were originally under Mei Zhihuan, to be qualified to directly participate in the division.
"Yes." Mei Zhihuan nodded with a smile.
When Zhu Chong saw Zhao and Mei, both of them stood up to speak for Jiutou. Of course, he would not object at this time and be a villain. Moreover, he also captured the hamlet by paying money to ask Jiutou Team for help today. Although it had been paid for it, the family affairs were indeed beautiful. He nodded and agreed.
In fact, Liu Jun didn't care much about this. He had actually hidden the big head, and the search of the officers and soldiers did not find it. It was worth nearly 30,000 taels of gold and silver, and many antique calligraphy and paintings. This time he earned at least 30,000 taels of money. But since they were willing to let him share some, he was happy to accept it.
In fact, there is not much to divide. Most of the food and silver have to be rewarded to the soldiers participating in the war. In the end, there is only about 3,000 taels of silver left. This is not the little silver left by Liu Jun. The more than 3,000 taels of silver must be rewarded to the soldiers below.
The 3,000 taels of silver I was actually the private money copied from the bandits and the houses, not the public property of the village. In addition to more than 3,000 taels of silver, there were about a few hundred taels of gold, and there were also a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Of course, what Liu Jun valued the most was the horses. More than 100 horses were seized from the village, as well as some cattle and mules, and most of them were good horses.
Liu Jun also set his sights on these horses, and finally he took the initiative to propose that he would not have gold, silver, food, cloth, and salt and tea. He only hoped to replenish thirty horses.
Thirty horses can be worth at least about 2,000 taels of silver, and in the east of Hubei, the price of good horses will only get higher and higher. Liu Jun's request was not low, but Zhao Cheng still took the initiative to agree.
After all, Liu Jun gave up sharing of other spoils, and those parts of the spoils were of great value.
Mei Zhihuan agreed, but the look at Liu Jun was a bit scrutinized. The Nine-Headed Horse Team had already won fifty-three good horses in the previous battle, and then they had another thirty horses. They were a team of 100 people in the village warriors, and they had two hundred horses. He didn't want money or food, and he insisted on these good horses. It seemed that this kid was very interested.
