stubborn thief

Chapter 148
Du Qiaoer was taken by Liu Chengzong and found the murderer from among the prisoners.

In Liu Chengzong's eyes, a very clever and brave little girl walked timidly in the queue of prisoners with gaps, her body suddenly froze, as if she had been subjected to a fixation technique.

"found it?"

Du Qiaoer seemed to be reminded by his voice, her body moved, and she raised her finger to the banner soldier in front of the queue.

Liu Chengzong looked over, he was an old flag soldier over forty years old, his weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles, he looked very honest, he had a broken arm, and he sat cross-legged at the front of the queue.

Being pointed at, Old Banner Army had a puzzled look on his face, he looked at Fan Sanlang, and then raised his eyelids to look at Liu Chengzong: "You thief, you just want to kill someone with a knife, don't pour evil water, I won't recognize this person .”

To be honest, Liu Chengzong doubted whether Fan Sanlang had made a mistake.

But when he heard the flag soldier calling him a thief, he tilted his head and rubbed the back of his head, biting his teeth with the tip of his tongue.

After entering Shanxi, the Lion Camp wiped out the stereotyped thieves in Yatou Mountain, surrounded Huojiabao, and only Gaoxian's troops shot a few arrows. Other than that, they only attacked the flag army of Fenzhouwei.

This banner army looted and burned the two villages of Zaowangshan and Fanjiayu in Tangqi, killing at least [-] households.

Now you can call him a thief.

That's absolutely right.

Before he could say anything, Fan Sanlang took off his hair scarf: "Kill my brother-in-law, kill my younger brother, and drag my elder sister away, then see if you recognize me!"

"It's you, why do you kill my brother-in-law, my younger brother, and my eldest sister!"

Du Qiaoer only glanced at the face of Old Banner Army, which she could never forget.

Even if she fantasized about how to get revenge in her head for two whole days, she only dared to take a look.

Just by looking at that face, the heart is gripped tightly by fear.

These bannermen are ghosts who eat people and don't spit out their bones. Half of her family died at the hands of this person.

But now this person has become a prisoner, and no one is afraid of him at all. These thieves from Shaanxi don't even want to waste ropes to tie him up.

"It's your daughter."

Old Qijun's face fluctuated a little, he didn't turn his head away to look at her, he just said: "I killed so many people, how can I remember who is your brother-in-law and who is your brother?"

This is enough.

Liu Chengzong looked at the old Banner Army standing up with the remaining arm, and the Banner Army next to him unconsciously moved a little away from him, but there was no fear of facing death on this man's face.

His eyes fell on Liu Chengzong's face, and he no longer called him a thief, but showed a flattering smile: "General, with just one hand, I can kill you... You said, Shiziying accused you of avoiding death, you can't kill me."

Old Banner Army pursed his lips, looked at the girl and grinned, then turned his head and said, "I want to identify."

Liu Chengzong let out a laugh from his nose: "Thinking quickly, it's a pity that you are still a flag soldier at such an old age, does it make sense?"

The old flag army is not using rules to fight against those who make the rules.

He looked left and right, and then nodded to Liu Chengzong again.

The meaning is obvious, anyway, death is imminent, or don't kill me, the rules made by killing me are bullshit, no one will identify them, and even the captives will no longer sit around waiting to die.

Few people in the world will really sit still.

Those who sit and wait to die think that they are sitting, waiting not for death but for life.

If what is waiting is death, what is there to wait for.

Liu Chengzong could only raise his hand: "You mean, I won't kill you."

With a triumphant smile on his face, Old Banner Army turned around and started pointing at people.

Liu Chengzong looked down at Fan Sanlang, she was crying all the time.

He turned around and beckoned not far away.

The old Banner Army seemed to be playing, with a smile on his face, stretched his arms and swept across the crowd, his fingers seemed to have incomparable power, wherever he swept, the expression of the Banner Army changed drastically.

At this moment, the old flag army suddenly wanted to ask, what is innocence?

In a place like the Weisuo, several families who have remained unchanged for 200 years take turns serving as commanders, and so many people who have remained unchanged for 200 years are military households, are people still human?

The commander is the sun in the sky, and the flag army is the leeks on the ground.

They are upright animals and humanoid tools that are dead and still have a spare patch. If the commander wants to do it, they will do it if they don't want to;

Morality and etiquette, justice, right and wrong, what the commander says is nothing.

The guard, isn't the guard just for the emperor to fight, as long as he can fight.

1000 people against 500 people in the Lion Camp, even if they are relocated, they will definitely be able to fight much better than them?

Suddenly, other people's expressions interrupted Lao Qijun's fantasy.

The flag soldiers pointed at by him were no longer afraid of his hand, but looked behind him with expectant expressions.

He turned his head, and Liu Chengzong was holding a Francophone pistol, talking to the girl.

Chengyun thought that the second brother called him for something important, and trotted all the way over, but the second brother didn't say a word to him, but just pulled the gun from his waist.

Excessive!

"It's not easy to kill him with a knife. This, don't shake your hands, hold it with one hand, and pull the trigger."

Old Banner Army said angrily: "You can't kill me!"

"I don't want to kill someone, but I won't kill them. Why can't she kill them? She won't point out others."

After finishing speaking, he packed the matchlock and handed it to Fan Sanlang.

The hand gun is in the girl's hand, holding it in the front hand and holding it in the back, as if holding a long-barreled bird gun, walking towards the old flag army step by step.

boom!
Gunpowder smoke spewed out in front of Fan Sanlang, and the moment before the fire burst out, Liu Chengzong saw the old banner soldier and sighed.

Immediately, he was shot in the chest and fell to the ground, stretching out his remaining arm to the sky, trying to grab something.

Fan Sanlang turned his head and ran back, and put the blunderbuss in Liu Chengzong's hand.

She wiped the tears from her face, then turned her head and drew the knife again. She didn't estimate the length and moved clumsily. She straightened her arm, but the tip of the knife was still stuck in the scabbard.

He had no choice but to pull back the scabbard again before holding the waist knife in his hand.

The girl was no longer afraid of the old flag army, she walked over and raised the knife above her head, one knife, one knife, and another knife.

More than 900 flag soldiers were sitting, no one stood up, they just watched blankly.

Strange to say, when the old flag army said that he wanted to identify him, Liu Chengzong didn't feel fluctuating in his heart because of his appearance.

But the old Qijun's sigh before his death had a great sense of power, which made him feel sad.

He looked up at the blue sky, stepped forward and grabbed Fan Sanlang by the collar of the back of his neck, like a small animal with arms and legs, and lifted her out.

This is not a soldier material.

In fact, Liu Chengzong attached great importance to having a female soldier come to join him.

Very excited, female soldier.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. With female soldiers, and further encouraging the common people with their example, the number of potential recruits can increase by at least [-]%.

But the female soldier he wanted was actually the one like Qin Liangyu who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed [-] pounds, not the kind of little guy who could lift a hundred pounds with one arm.

Comparing the ideal with the reality, the reality is just a clucking quail.

The identification ended in the afternoon, and 420 two Fenzhou Guard Banner soldiers who were full of crimes were executed.

130 convict soldiers were organized into left and right teams. In the evening, they drank millet porridge, distributed round shields and swords outside the fort, and began to climb the city.

The remaining more than 600 flag soldiers were assigned according to the seriousness of their crimes, those who should dig the pits should dig the pits, and those who should carry the cargo should carry the cargo.

Among them, more than [-] people, after hearing testimony from many parties in the Banner Army, confirmed that they were indeed just trapped in it, and they had never been active in the orders of the late commander, and were finally released.

Liu Chengzong also gave each of them two catties of dry food as travel expenses.

This makes you especially grateful to Dade, this group of people did not expect to go back alive.

They are the people who don't believe in killing or surrendering, let alone whether they are prisoners or not.

There is only cause and effect in this world, and there is no retribution.

If there is retribution, Liu Chengzong is their retribution.

Fu Renxi also came from Yonghe Pass to watch the battle between the two teams of criminal soldiers climbing the fort.

Liu Chengzong's murderous nature made Boss Fu afraid, but he considered the matter very realistically: "It's all like this, why do you put those 200 people back, kill them all in the valley."

"Among the more than 200 people released, there may be some who are not doing anything, but I believe that more people are not being animals."

Fu Renxi was at a loss for words for a while, and he didn't dare to raise his hand too high. He pointed at Liu Chengzong's waist and said, "You are very strange. If you let 200 people go back, the Fenzhou Wei gang will fight you again. Never surrender, never surrender.”

"If I don't surrender, I will surrender to someone else. Anyway, they always find someone to surrender. A cat gets stuck in a mouse hole, and a mouse will die if it gets into a cat's nest."

Liu Chengzong took this matter very lightly: "It's not a group of people, they don't want to surrender me, and I don't want to surrender them."

There was a burst of gunshots on the wall of the fort, and two groups of criminal soldiers entered the range of Huojiabao, carrying ladders and shields to speed up.

Fu Renxi pointed at Huojiabao: "Then, the general and the general are all the way?"

"If you want to go to Liaodong, I can give you a ride, but I won't be able to help you there. This is the way things are in this world."

Liu Chengzong looked at the two ladders on the fort wall, he shook his head slowly and said: "Everyone in the world wants to live, and ambition is precious."

He was very relieved that Fu Renxi didn't lead an army to steal his butt when he fought Zhang Zhan in Lion Camp.

Fu Renxi smiled bitterly and let out a pooh: "In this world, I have only 400 people under my command. The general can help me. If I become the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief, and tens of thousands of mouths open my eyes every day to ask me for food, I can still have him." Fucking ambition."

Liu Chengzong turned his face and glanced at Fu Renxi: "Vice Chief Soldier, wait for me to think about how many times I can kill you before I can earn you a Deputy Chief Soldier. When you become a Deputy Chief Soldier, I guess this is Shanxi, Shanxi. I can feed you wherever you go."

"Ah!"

Fu Renxi obviously didn't believe it, he only thought that Liu Chengzong was joking, so he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Then I can borrow the general's auspicious words for such a humble job. If there is a day when I go to Liaodong, I will let the baby recognize you as a godfather."

Liu Chengzong is not joking.

He already had a rough line in mind.

It is not that there is no food in barren areas such as Shanshan Mountain, but the best land is in the hands of Wangzhuang. Many people have been displaced, and the number of people left behind is far less than before.

If there are more and more military leaders, like Fu Renxi, they will form a symbiotic state with him.

He will be able to further reduce the pressure on the military, and have time to complete the construction of water conservancy projects that Ming could not complete, at least to restore the slightest vitality to this land.

Even if the food problem still cannot be solved, it is enough to radiate to the gates of North Zhili, the Central Plains and even the Land of Abundance.

But the plan is always looking good. Last winter, he thought that Xingzihe would have a good harvest this year. When a frost came during the Spring Festival, Wangzhuang was directly beaten to the point that it would not be enough for their military rations for a year.

The two teams of criminal soldiers fought hard, climbing up the fort wall with crossbows and muskets, and entered into a hand-to-hand battle to seize the city wall.

The younger generation of the Huo family can fight a lot, but it is difficult to win by defending the castle wall.

This battle has basically established the victory.

Soon, there were fewer and fewer defenders on the earthen fortress, the gate of the fortress was robbed, and Gao Xian's infantry filed into the fortress.

Not long after, the old, weak, women and children who had taken shelter in the fort before slowly left the fort, while the younger generation of the Huo family retreated into the house to guard.

Those who surrender have surrendered, and those who fight are still fighting.

But now that the gate of the fort has been opened, the remaining battle is to eliminate the defenders immediately, so the problem is no longer a big one.

This made both Liu Chengzong and Fu Renxi heave a sigh of relief.

Fu Renxi seemed to have discovered at this time that there was a young woman behind Liu Chengzong, so he smiled and said, "General, is this a newly recruited servant?"

He meant it as a joke, who would believe that the female relatives next to such a gangster leader are soldiers?
However, Liu Chengzong let him down again, and nodded very seriously: "I am also very distressed."

He glanced back at Fan Sanlang, and said: "The one who came to join me originally wanted her to go to a place where there is no war, to cook and wash clothes for the soldiers, and even to learn some medical skills, but she wants to fight. Look at this Thin, I was stronger than her when I was twelve or thirteen years old."

It means that Master Gao is not here, otherwise he will die of anger.

Shouldn't you be stronger than others?No serious person can compare to the food in autumn.

How many heroes have eaten that meal of beheading all their lives, let him finish the meal with a bang, bang bang bang, and spend the whole autumn busy practicing martial arts.

Putting a stone on it, eating the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon every day can make a big disturbance in the heavenly palace.

"Put her in another team, and she will die in the next battle, and maybe she will be delayed. Those two villages will live with this person, and she should be spared."

Du Qiaoer is really hard to persuade.

She thought about it for a long time in the well. Saburo had already dug a hole in the well, and the old lady had already passed away, so there was no need to go out and fight with others.

Fan Sanlang gave her all his things, his weapons, his clothes, his military pay, his war trophies, and even his life.

Let her live well.

So she set up a tombstone on the door of Sanlang's grave, which said Du Qiaoer's tomb.

It wasn't right that night.

Banner soldiers shouldn't kill people, the eldest brother shouldn't leave the village, the second brother shouldn't jump over the wall, the eldest sister shouldn't fall down, the second sister shouldn't run around...everything is wrong.

The one lying on the ground should be Du Qiaoer, and the one walking with the knife should be Fan Sanlang.

She wants to learn Saburo's skills as soon as possible, and make things go back to what they should be.

Use Sanlang's sword, carry Sanlang's bow, and live in the name of Fan Sanlang.

Liu Chengzong turned his head, and the little quail, who was eavesdropping with his ears up, hurriedly turned his eyes aside, and he exhaled a long breath: "Live mouths are not special or uncommon, here, everyone you see, we are The survivors of natural disasters and man-made disasters."

　good night!
