“…”

On the grass on the north bank of Qingliuxi River, more than thirty thieves galloped from west to east.

If Xu Wukun hadn't jumped off his horse and grabbed the bridle, and forced the horse that Xu Huai rode, Xu Huai might have rushed towards the thief cavalry alone.

Xu Wufu, Xu Zhongyu and others, who were standing on the wall of the village, couldn't help but pat their foreheads when they saw this scene, and their hearts were crying:

Do you know what it means to stop at the right time? Why do you have to play so thrillingly every time?

If it were hard and reckless, the entire Tongbai Mountain would have been occupied by those bandits who licked blood from the knife and wanted money but not life.

Of course, Xu Huai's daring to kill and rebel is not completely useless.

In the past twelve or three days, seven more thieves were killed by Xu Huai.

It has been ten days since Pan Chenghu led the thieves to the point of conviction today, and more than 20 people in the Xu clan were attacked and injured.

Twenty soldiers were also killed.

However, half of the achievements made by Xu's family were killed by Xu Huai alone.

Sometimes I have to admit that such a brave and reckless guy can still play a role at critical moments. At least a small group of thieves dare not run out to Liuzhai alone anymore.

Pan Chenghu's troops had only fifty or sixty horse soldiers, and by this time they had lost more than a dozen cavalry. Now most of the remaining ones were attracted to the north bank of Qingliuxi River. Lutai villages were all located on the south bank of Qingliuxi River and near the middle peak of Yuhuangling. The impact of life and production was reduced; the construction of Xinzhai on the Dongpo of Shituling has never stopped from beginning to end.

Xu Huai rode a horse on his back and pretended to fight with Xu Wukun for a while, but saw the thief slowing down three hundred steps away. He first divided a small team to seize the hilly land in the north, and sighed to Xu Wukun, "Now the thief soldiers have learned their lessons and have not been fooled."

Xu Huai and Xu Wukun pretended to fight, mainly because they wanted to lure the thief cavalry to rush out of the narrow valley between the hills and the Qingliu Creek to kill them.

Not to mention the narrow terrain of that valley, there are rugged rocks on the bank, and the beach is mostly difficult to move on. The thieves are not familiar with the terrain. If they rush to grab the valley, the formation in front will definitely be pulled apart. Then Xu Huai and the others will have the opportunity to kill a counterattack, kill two or three thieves and then withdraw calmly.

But I didn't expect that the thief cavalry had been entangled with them on both sides of Qingliu Creek for eight or nine days, and after losing several good players in his hands, he also became smarter.

There were only five people on their side. The two teams of cavalry led by Zhou Jing and Xu Chen were all on the south bank of Qingliuxi River at this time, and they could not wade through the water for a while. At this time, the good opportunity, the thief cavalry no longer rushed to surround him, and Xu Huai was helpless.

"Pan Chenghu has been able to gain a foothold in Xiema Mountain for many years, and the clans around the world have no choice but to deal with him. How could he and his subordinates be fooled? It is impossible to be fooled by you again and again." Xu Wukun acted as he pulled the bridles of the two horses and walked eastward, and from time to time he took the corner of his eyes to observe the reaction of the thief.

Xu Wukun dragged Xu Huai eastward with an arrow, met Xu Wuliang and others before he stepped on his horse again.

This is a shallow of Qingliuxi River, and they can retreat to the south bank of Qingliuxi River at any time.

However, after the thief cavalry controlled Qiugang on the north side, they did not approach quickly. The dozen riders who were parked on Qiugang kept looking northwest.

Xu Huai and his friends' vision was blocked, but the North Village and the sentry guard set up by Xinzhai on the north bank of Shituo Ridge signaled that a team of people were approaching in the north. Xu Huai, Xu Wuliang, Xu Wukun and others did not know who the visitor were, so they retreated back to the south bank of Qingliu Creek first.

At this moment, their vision was wider, but a team of people surrounded by wild persimmon forest in the north. There were about a hundred people, and there were more than twenty horsemen in front.

It was so far away that people could not see clearly the faces of people and the flags carried by horses and infantrymen, but from the costumes worn by the people and horses, it could be seen that the military soldiers of the inspection department came out in full bloom.

Lutaizhai is only twenty miles away from the Huaiyuan Inspection Department. Pan Chenghu occupied Shangliu Village and raided Yuhuangling for more than ten days. Deng Gui still did not move early or late, but at this time, he led the military soldiers of the Inspection Department to come here?

He rushed over to reinforce Lutaizhai to crack down on bandits, but he thought that both sides were injured and he had a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Seeing reinforcements from the inspection department coming, the bandits did not dare to stay in the wild on the north bank of Qingliu Creek.

The Inspection Department has only more than a hundred military soldiers, but as the only official military in Tongbai Mountain, it can invite rural soldiers to encircle and suppress bandits in an emergency.

Moreover, Pan Chenghu has led the thieves to harass Yuhuangling for more than ten days. Who knows what conditions have been agreed upon with the clans of Jin and Tang under the instructions of the prefectures and counties? Who knows whether there are larger-scale rural soldiers gathering behind them?

No matter how brave Pan Chenghu was, he did not dare to wave on the north bank of Qingliu Creek at this time. Dozens of thieves hurriedly gathered up to Liuzhai.

Xu Huai, Xu Wukun and Xu Wuliang did not rush to leave. They stopped on a bank-side high ground on the side of Qingliu Creek. After a while, they saw more than 20 horse-riding soldiers surrounded Deng Gui and another middle-aged man wearing the robe of a ninth-grade new green martial artist walking to Qingliu Creek Bridge.

They are far apart and cannot see the person's appearance clearly.

Liu Qiong'er hurried over from the north bank of Shituo Ridge with her skirt and accompanied by Xu Xiaohuan.

There were no extra war horses in the new village of Shituling. Xu Xiaohuan sat on the back of his father Xu Wuliang's horse. Xu Huai reached out to pull Liu Qiong'er in front of him and rode a saddle together.

"So fast!" Liu Qiong'er said with a dismal look.

Xu Huai peeked at Chen Tong's secret letter to Deng Gui, and had long known that Zheng Hui and others would arrange a new inspector to replace Deng Gui, so that Wang Bing's fate would completely fall into their control.

Although Xu Wujiang mentioned the possibility of Wang Bing making a comeback in front of Wu Zu, he only used this to sway everyone's spirit and did not do more.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the power behind the assassin is too great and too persistent. Wang Bing died, the assassin retreated, and Tongbai Mountain restored its past peace, which is the best choice for everyone.

Wang Bing died in Huaiyuan, and the Privy Councilor Cai Ying arranged a scapegoat to take on everything. At that time, the government and the country were disturbed. By contrast, the matter of Xu Wujiang's siege in the bandits became irrelevant.

Perhaps the prefectures and counties will not take the initiative to mention this matter from now on.

What did you mention?

Just treat Xu Wujiang and others as new people and occupy the bandits in Xiema Mountain.

If you can suppress it, you can suppress it, but if you can't suppress it...

There are so many stubborn enemies in Tongbai Mountain, but one more is not enough to make a fortune.

Xu Huai didn't say anything. He saw that the village gate was slowly opened in Beizhai. Xu Wufu, accompanied by Xu Wuji, Xu Zhongyu, Zhou Jing and others, went to Qingliuxi Bridge to welcome him.

Obviously, Xu Wufu was also looking forward to the arrival of the new inspector, looking forward to Wang Bing's body and head, so that Tongbai Mountain would return to its former peace.

"Let's go back!" Xu Huaiyi said calmly, as if the ending was already destined, and he no longer wanted to struggle.

"These short-sighted guys probably thought that Guo Caoling would replace Deng Gui as the inspector, and Wang Bing died in Huaiyuan Military Village, and everything would return to peace!"

Zheng Hui and others hid in the wilderness forest. They could clearly see the situation around Qingliuxi Bridge from a high place. Seeing Xu Wufu leaving the village to greet Deng Gui so neatly, Guo Caoling couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

"What are we going to do next?" Dong Qifeng asked.

"Deng Gui cooperated with us so much, of course he would earn some military merit before leaving!" Zheng Hui smiled.

"Why do you still have such a slight thorn?" Chen Zixiao asked curiously.

"If you don't defeat Pan Chenghu, you should take them into Hutou Village, so why don't you be afraid that Pan Chenghu will also play the role of occupying the magpie's nest in the future?" Zheng Hui asked.

Chen Zixiao patted his forehead and said that he was stupid and did not think so deeply.

Seeing Chen Zixiao like this, Zheng Hui was quite proud. He thought that such a person would be better controlled, and he explained to him patiently:

"In the past month, Hutou Village has secretly recruited soldiers and more than 400 people, but nearly half of them are novice. If Pan Chenghu directly invites Pan Chenghu to lead 300 thieves to join Hutou Village, we can be completely relieved even if Pan Chenghu is willing to surrender to you - Pan Chenghu is still strong, and it is impossible for you to follow your leader! No matter what, the more miserable Pan Chenghu is, the more grateful he is to the Hutou Village that takes him in, and the easier it is to control..."

"That's true, sir has seen through people's hearts." Chen Zixiao praised.

The new inspector has already arrived at the Huaiyuan Military Village. After the transfer order is confirmed in the name of the military commander of the Biyang magistrate Cheng Lunying, he can officially hand over. Deng Gui finally led his military soldiers to Tongbai Mountain to suppress the bandits, and each family still gave him a lot of face.

For three consecutive days, the Jin, Tang, Qian and other families sent ten camp soldiers to help, and together with the military soldiers, they soon gathered nearly 400 people in the camp on the north side of Qingliuxi Bridge.

Deng Gui has not yet had a new order for adjustment, so he made up his mind that even if he was short of a while, it would be stronger than continuing to stir up trouble in this dangerous quagmire.

This was his last few days as the inspector of Huaiyuan, so he no longer had to take into account the face of local clans, nor did he have to care about his soldiers from major clans.

When the troops gathered, he drove up Liuzhai to forge.

Who dared to neglect or delay, Deng Gui served him without hesitation, and even killed two rural soldiers who did not obey the orders in front of the formation.

I have been a sick cat for more than two years and I will leave in a few days. It is time to show my power.

Whoever stops him from taking away his final military merits, don’t blame him for turning against others.

In other words, fighting on the territory of Xu, the Xu family needed to provide many military supplies and equipment to attack Liuzhai. The Xu family was also crowded here, so Deng Gui was a little polite to the Xu family and did not dare to expedite the Xu family's soldiers.

Pan Chenghu was stunned by the scene in front of him and felt extremely regretful.

The reason why he dared to stay in Shangliuzhai was that it was because he had only a hundred military soldiers in the inspection department. However, no family of the clans of the major surnames would fight against them with their own soldiers.

Xu was most threatened by them, and the two sides had been tangled on both sides of Qingliu Creek for more than ten days and suffered so little casualties. The main reason was that the most were lost in the hands of the reckless man, which was enough to prove that his judgment was correct.

It is not difficult to talk about going to Liuzhai, and the village walls are thin, but there are many villages on both sides, so it is convenient for food. More importantly, Pan Chenghu knew that the more critical it was, the less he could not be in a hurry.

In a hurry, not only will the clans of the major surnames not let him go easily, but the people's hearts dispersed and the thieves dispersed. How much capital can he have to make a comeback in the end?

He came to the scene, but he did not expect that Deng Gui would be transferred to the post at this critical moment. When Deng Gui was about to leave, he would gather the local heroes of Wuzu to fight to the death with him...
