Return of the Swallow

When these people were all quiet, Pang Xiao stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Why, do you want to rebel? So many of you gathered together to make trouble, and it's not just once! This king just had a reason to directly kill You were all wiped out on the spot, do you know that!"

After being said by Pang Xiao, these talents suddenly recalled it, and they couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Now is not the time to consider that Pang Xiao is still unable to gain a firm foothold in the army. Most of the current Pingnan Army are under the orders of Pang Xiao. If he had really killed them all just now in order to eradicate dissidents, it would have been nothing more than adding a sentence of "killing the rebels" when reporting to the imperial court, then the Holy Majesty would not only not blame him, but might even reward him .

At this time, no one dared to continue yelling with Pang Xiao. But some leaders still said unwillingly: "Your Highness has been suppressing the bandits for so long, but he refuses to take us brothers there. Is it because he despises our brothers? It's too unfair for His Highness to handle things."

Pang Xiao chuckled, "Why didn't I take you with me in the first place? Doesn't any of you know the reason?"

Everyone heard the words, and gradually fell into an awkward silence.

Where would they not know the reason?

The lord remembers that they resented their provocation and trouble at the beginning, and almost caused a mutiny, so he didn't bring them to make a fortune together.

Some people still want to make a noise with Pang Xiao, but there are also smart people who turn into flattering smiles and discuss with Pang Xiao in a low voice: "My lord, please be angry. You don’t know a whole lot of Japanese books, even Dou Da’s characters, so don’t be as knowledgeable as our group of people.”

Some people understood this man's intentions, and they all echoed and said soft words: "Yes, my lord, we are ignorant, and it is our fault that I offended him. After all, our Pingnan Army closed the door because it is our own brother, and we want to make a fortune." Send it together too."

"We were nothing in the past, the prince will treat us as farts, let it go!"

...

Just now there was a lot of cursing, but now it has turned into a clamor of flattery.

Pang Xiao had a helpless expression on his face, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "We are all brothers who were born and died, so there is really no need to be so stiff."

"Yes, yes. The lord is right. From now on, brothers will never do such inhuman things!"

"Yes, we will listen to whatever the prince says in the future. If the prince tells you to chase the dog, we will never chase the chicken!"

"My lord, take us to suppress the bandits, we also want to do something for the common people!"

...

Pang Xiao immediately shifted his gaze to the person who spoke just now, which made the person startled, and all the flattery he wanted to say was choked back. I became more and more uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

Huzi, who was originally looking filled with righteous indignation behind Pang Xiao, also laughed when he saw this. Together with the Jinghuwei who were loyal to Pang Xiao and the Pingnan Army who obeyed Pang Xiao's orders, they also looked like this.

The scene became easy at once.

Pang Xiao pointed at the crowd, and said helplessly, "You bastards, you're either going to make trouble for me, or you're going to look like this, who did you learn from!"

This sentence made the hearts of all the people thump. Hastily said anxiously: "We didn't learn from anyone!"

"No one taught us!"

It looks like there is no silver three hundred taels here.

Pang Xiao didn't seem to see any clues at all, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, I didn't really think I wouldn't take you there. Since we want to suppress bandits, let's go together. We will make money together!"

"Okay! Good! The prince is thousand years old! The prince is thousand years old!"

Everyone below cheered in unison, as if they had obtained the most precious treasure in the world. They have long been envious of the "salary" that other people get!

Pang Xiao ordered the thousand people to set off in a team.

Thinking of getting rich in their hearts, these people's aura was unprecedented. They were like hungry tigers who had just descended from the mountain, and their eyes were shining brightly.

Pang Xiao rode his horse and led the team, left the Pingnan Army camp, and went straight to a nearby land called Canglong Mountain.

The thousand people also followed neatly behind, and everyone was gearing up and eager to try.

If there is an "old-timer" in this team who has followed Pang Xiao to "suppress bandits" on the main road and side road, he will find that the route that the prince took to suppress bandits this time is completely different from before. This time, it seems that I really went to the bandit den...

There are three continuous mountain ranges in Canglong Mountain. It is named for its slender shape and dense vegetation, which looks like a long flying dragon from a distance.

It coincides with troubled times, when bandits are gradually increasing.

For a while, the brothers in Shili Bazhai were all worried. Because a stunned young marshal came to the court, and he had nothing to do to suppress the bandits? !

Is it because they are not filial enough? Or is there a hole in the generalissimo's mind?

As soon as the news of the suppression of the bandits came out, the brothers became tense. The leaders of all the villages, big and small, gathered in the Canglong Village on Canglong Mountain to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

When he found out that the Lengtouqing who was going to suppress the bandits was actually the invincible God of War Pang Xiao, the big guy almost peed his pants in fright on the spot.

These people, where are their opponents!

Even if they were given time to practice soldiers for another ten or eight years, it might not be enough for that one finger!

The masters were all in a state of desperation, biting the bullet and researching countermeasures, and before the evil embryo came, they quickly arranged a strict deployment, digging traps and stockpiling food, they were extremely busy. .

Unexpectedly, when they had all set up their formations and waited to face the enemy, a scout sent out new news.

That evil prince, in the name of bandit suppression, actually led soldiers and horses to squat on the side of the road to rob all day long, and even specifically robbed the Stone number, and had no intention of attacking their cottage at all.

At this moment, the big guy was relieved, and then there were all kinds of discussions, and they felt that Pang Xiao was wicked, but most of the bandits thought that Pang Xiao had both martial arts and brains, He is really a bandit material, but it's a pity that he has no chance to persuade him to join the gang. Otherwise, the career of their brothers will not grow bigger and bigger?

However, everyone did not rush to withdraw their defenses. I was more or less afraid that Pang Xiao would really call.

But they waited and waited, their patience was exhausted, and the man was still concentrating on the robbery, not even interested in looking at them.

All the big bosses scolded Pang Xiao in their hearts - that pious guy is really lucky! Those who are also bandits, they are princes and robbers at the same time, and these brothers are more dedicated to their work, why no one has such a good life.

Some brothers have long said that the big guys separated, went back to their homes, and just guarded their own villages.

However, there are also some leaders who are flexible in mind and cautious in mind. They are afraid that there will be fraud, and they dare not disband the team immediately.

Therefore, this group of bandits united from various cottages still gathered in Canglong Mountain.

It's just that although people are still in the same place, they don't take defense very seriously. Anyway, the prince is with them, and they are busy dealing with the Stone number. How can they come to their cottage in leisure?

But they never expected that they were happy too early.

That evil embryo would actually bring soldiers and horses to attack the cottage!

Pang Xiao waved his long knife, pointed at Canglong Mountain in front of him, and mobilized loudly: "Brothers! This is the village, there are countless treasures in it, and there are a bunch of wine bags and rice bags inside. Based on the training of our brothers these days, I think Taking them down is just a matter of punching a few times, big guys, don't hesitate, go for it!"

Seeing other people return to the camp with big carts and small carts of treasure, and also received back pay, how can these thousand people have half a doubt about this place? Without hesitation, the copy guy rushed up.

In the meeting hall of the cottage, the men were still sleeping swaying to and fro at this time, and they were drunk last night, how could they have imagined that someone would attack the mountain today?

Even the sentinels with their hands at the mountain gate all came up to the mountain. The sound of the dead branches being crushed was too loud, so they woke up from their sleep, threw away the wine jar and loudly reported inside. Frantically looking for weapons to meet the enemy.

Pang Xiao led the crowd, and within two hours, he cleaned up the entire Canglong Mountain, wiped out more than a thousand mountain bandits, and tied up more than a thousand captives, and rescued more than a thousand ordinary people who were captured by them for labor. More than seven hundred people.

It's just because these bandits had prepared earlier and set up a lot of traps and traps on the mountain, which caused the loss of more than a hundred soldiers and horses attacking the mountain.

But if this is a war, the entire process of attacking the mountain, although not particularly smooth, is still a victory with fewer victories and more victories.

The only sad thing is that among the more than seven people who were rescued, four to five hundred were women. The oldest of these women was Shaohua, who had experienced inhuman torture at the hands of bandits. After being rescued, there was no joy on everyone's face, only despair.

There were even more than a dozen women who knelt down and thanked the Pingnan army who had saved them, then turned around and hit trees and stones to kill themselves.

There was the first person to commit suicide, and a group of people followed suit, but those who were a step behind were stopped by the Pingnan Army in a hurry.

Pang Xiaoqi's eyes were red, and he said loudly: "What are you doing! Brothers rescued you, is it to make you die!"

The women's cries are so sad that people can feel their sadness and despair.

"The general doesn't know. We women have nowhere to go. Even if the women who have been looted have a home to return to, the family members will not tolerate us for the sake of face. I am afraid that we will die at that time. Instead of seeing We might as well settle here for those intolerant faces of relatives."

In this way, Dang even had someone commit suicide again crying loudly. Some hit rocks, and some untied their belts to hang themselves. It was really a mess, very miserable.

"Stop them, hurry up!" Pang Xiao ordered immediately, feeling so depressed that he could hardly breathe. At the beginning, his sister Yi was also robbed, and survived in the desert for several days with difficulty, and was almost snatched by Xiyue County Wang Qiang to become his concubine.

Did Sister Yi at that time also think about dying? Also thought that the family would not tolerate her after returning home?

In fact, after she returned home, her family really couldn't tolerate her. Her mother-in-law suspected that the child in her womb had an unknown origin, and even planted red flowers for her...
