When the bandits around him heard this, they all chased Meng Tao in the direction of Meng Tao with all their might.

Meng Tao turned around and saw the thieves catching up, so he speeded up and galloped forward.

"Drive..." Meng Tao saw that he was approaching the front, so he hurried on.

"Stop, don't run, stop here." Tietou saw Meng Tao and the others running faster, and immediately shouted from behind.

"Chase them, don't let them escape." Tietou ordered his bandits to speed up and catch the officers and soldiers in front.

Meng Tao ran faster and faster, but the thieves behind him were pressing harder and harder, vowing not to give up.

After a while, Meng Tao stopped running and turned his head to look at the chasing bandit.

"Why don't you run away? If you run again, hahahaha, you are such a dog officer, why don't you get off your horse and die?"

When Tietou saw Meng Tao stop, he immediately laughed and said, he would catch the dog officer who dared to set fire to him later, and then skin and cramps.

"Arrogant, let's see if you can go back first." Meng Tao saw Tietou being so arrogant and immediately issued an order.

"Kill..." the soldiers lying in ambush suddenly shouted, startling Tietou.

The officers and soldiers on both sides fired arrows at the bandits. Suddenly, a hail of arrows rained down, catching the bandits completely off guard.

"Commander, what should I do?" Someone around asked Tietou when they saw that they had been tricked by the dog officer in front of him.

"What else can you do? Kill me. If you can kill one by one, I don't believe those dog officers and soldiers can do anything to me?" Tietou said angrily. He has hated these officers and soldiers for a long time. Now that these officers and soldiers are here, he

Want to kill happily.

Tietou looked at the smiling Meng Tao in front of him, thinking that he was mocking him. He was so angry that he wanted to rush over and kill him, but he was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

"Ah... Dog Officer, do you dare to fight to the death with me? You are a coward. You will only hide behind your back. Come out and let us fight to the death." Tietou shouted in the direction of Meng Tao, and then he chopped at himself.

The arrow shot over.

Meng Tao was indifferent. Only a fool would fight to the death with this iron head. He said to his subordinate: "Bring the arrow, I want to try it."

He also learned the Six Arts of the Gentleman, including rituals, music, archery, and imperial calligraphy.

In archery, he may not be as good as the generals, but he is not bad either.

The subordinate handed the arrow to Meng Tao. Meng Tao took the arrow and aimed at Tietou's heart for a long time. With a 'chirp' sound, Tietou fell off his horse.

"The shot missed. It seems that I haven't shot an arrow for a long time." Meng Tao was a little annoyed when he saw that he only hit Tietou's thigh. He was unfamiliar with it.

"Chang Shi is a civil servant, so naturally he cannot compare with military generals in archery. However, among civil servants, it is rare to have such archery skills." One of the thousand captains said, what he said was true, after all, civil servants are not good at it.

When it comes to military affairs, it would be great to have such archery skills.

Meng Tao was not angry after hearing this. He was not good at archery, and he did not need to be good at it.

"Capture that man alive for me, I will still be useful." Meng Tao pointed to Tietou who was shot off his horse and said, this time the bandit suppression was completed, it was a matter of course.

"promise."

After a while, Tietou was tied up in front of Meng Tao by the officers and soldiers. The other bandits also collapsed. Except for the killed bandit, the remaining bandits were all tied up.

"You official, you are treacherous. If you have the guts, kill me, or I will chop you into pieces later..." Tietou was slapped by the guarding soldier in the middle of his words.

"You are a dog official, you have the guts to let go of grandpa, grandpa wants to fight you to the death, don't you dare? Bah, dog official, you have the guts to compete with grandpa in an upright and fair way, bah!

"Tietou continued to curse at Meng Tao, "You are all this dog officer, so insidious. If you fight alone, I can beat you a hundred times."

"What fair and honest means are needed to deal with a bandit? Lock him up and hand him over to the prime minister for his punishment."

It's ridiculous. When fighting alone, only thieves can come up with funny demands. If I catch you, will I put you back and have a fight with you? What's the difference between that and a fool?

"Guan Gu, don't be arrogant, you will definitely die a good death." Tietou refused to admit defeat and shouted at Meng Tao.

"Chang Shi, what should we do with these bandits?" The people below looked at the captured bandits, and there were more than a thousand bandits left. Most of them were dead. The remaining ones were no longer enough to pose a danger. These were to be killed.

Still how come.

"Detain them, whether alive or dead, and leave them to His Majesty's disposal." It would be fine if all these thieves were executed, but he didn't want to do that now. He had to wait and see what the Prime Minister wanted. The Prime Minister was still on the mountain, and it was dangerous.

It has not been lifted yet, now we can only wait for news from Wang Xi.

"promise."

"Wait a minute, let a few people go back and say that the entire army here has been destroyed."

Meng Tao smiled and said that in this way, it would not only cause panic to the bandits, but also inform Wang Xi that the bandits had been completely destroyed.

On the other side, the fire at the foot of Longhu Mountain was almost extinguished. Xie Ji pulled Liu Shui and walked down from the mountain.

"Master, there are so many thieves down there, how can we get out?" Liu Shui looked at the many thieves below. If they were discovered, we wouldn't be able to get out.

Xie Ji thought for a while and saw a soldier holding a barrel and was about to go down to the foot of the mountain to put out the fire. Xie Ji suddenly walked over and said, "Let me take it down. The fire is still very big down there. Go and put out a few more barrels."

water."

The soldier looked at Xie Ji and said with some confusion: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I've never seen anything normal. There are so many people in Longhu Mountain. You can't see everyone. Hurry up and get water. Otherwise, if the fire gets worse, we'll all have to finish it. I can just carry this." Xie Ji said to him.

said the soldier.

The soldier said: "Okay, those dog officers and soldiers are so abominable. They actually set fire at the foot of the mountain to burn us to death. Fortunately, the fire was not big. This time the iron-headed commander went out and chased the dog officers and soldiers and they fled.

, when the fire is extinguished, we will take the heads of those dog officers and soldiers to avenge this arson."

Xie Ji was surprised. It turned out that the fire was man-made. Also, the dog officers and soldiers he was talking about were no good. He had to find out.

"You said those dog officers and soldiers are the ones wearing black robes?"

"Yes, those dog officers and soldiers are really hateful. They actually came to the foot of the mountain to set fire." After the soldier said this, Xie Ji was surprised. The black armor, weren't those the private soldiers of his prime minister's office?

He remembered this very clearly. Only the soldiers in his prime minister's palace wore black, while the soldiers in the imperial court wore red. This color was to distinguish the soldiers in the prime minister's palace from those in the imperial court.

And his soldiers are the only ones he can mobilize, so what is this?

Unless someone took his photo seal and raided Longhu Mountain at this time, could it be that they knew they were in a den of bandits.

"Hey, why don't you go put out the fire? Why are you so dazed?"

The soldier looked at Xie Ji in a daze, wasn't he going to put out the fire now?

"Oh, let's go now, and you should go get water quickly." Xie Ji thought that he had to go out now, and he would know when he got out.

With that said, he sent the soldiers away.

"Master, let me carry it." Liu Shui came over and lifted the barrel from Xie Ji's hand.

"Liu Shui, do you think they found us in the bandits' den?" Xie Ji asked Liu Shui, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the sudden attack on Longhu Mountain.

"Master, they should know." For such an important person as the master, he will definitely be discovered if he is not in the county office. Maybe they are rescuing us?

"Let's go down, don't alert the enemy, just like a normal person putting out a fire." Xie Ji told Liu Shui, don't let the situation slip at the critical moment.

Liu Shui nodded, and he also understood that if he wanted to leave here this time, he couldn't make any mistakes.

Xie Ji directly grabbed the water from Liu Shui's hand. The current condition of Liu Shui was that he couldn't hold the water. It would be bad if something unexpected happened at the critical moment.

Liu Shui was surprised and looked at Xie Ji. Xie Ji carried the water directly and walked down. Liu Shui's eyes became wet, and he quickly followed.

Xie Ji and Liu Shui pretended to be unnoticed and walked towards the fire.

When he was about to go out, a voice came from behind: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Xie Ji turned his head and saw a person looking at him with fierce eyes.

"General, we are putting out a fire." Xie Ji smiled awkwardly. Something went wrong at this time. Is it a mistake? He was just a small person, but he was actually discovered.

"Put out the fire, why are you going down there to put out the fire?" The general obviously didn't believe it. Seeing that these two people just didn't want to work, it was a good idea. Seeing that everyone else was putting out the fire, you two were the only ones enjoying themselves.

"I...don't I see that Marshal Tietou is back, so I can welcome him here." Xie Ji suddenly thought that the bandit named Tietou was chasing him.

The leader of the bandits took a look and realized that this man wanted to get something for nothing and flatter him. It was a joke. I should be the one to flatter him. You little guy, you should go put out the fire. You want to grab the credit.

Beautiful thought.

"Commander Tietou will be back soon. You don't need to say more. Hurry up and put out the fire, or I will kill you." He still wanted to take the credit, but he didn't think so. He didn't do anything. It was like sitting back and enjoying the results. Asking
