To suppress bandits, we must first determine where the bandits are.


  There is no need for Chi Li and others to bother looking for this matter. As a thorn in the side of the government, the lair of the gang of thieves has actually been investigated by the government long ago.


  Even if the government sends people to exterminate them every time but fails, the group will hide in another place, or even hide more secretly, but the area around the town is so big, no matter how they hide, they can't stay away from this area, so as long as they send more Even if people secretly investigate one by one, they can still find traces of the thieves and then find their lair.


  Now everything is ready, all we have to do is wait for a suitable opportunity to break into the bandit's hinterland and capture all the evildoers.


  "It's okay if you can't capture him alive. If you take the enemy's head, you can still receive the reward."


  In order to mobilize everyone's morale, the county magistrate of this county and town personally came forward to give a speech to the government officials and Chi Li and other invited knights.


  He is a practical person, and there is no nonsense in his words. There are only two points in the center of his words. One is to ask everyone to wipe out all the thieves as much as possible to prevent them from resurrecting and harming the people in the future. The other is to motivate everyone with heavy rewards and show that The attitude is that as long as they do well, they will receive rewards for their merits, and the government will never treat them poorly.


  The government officials seemed to have other rewards similar to military exploits, so even if it was for their own future, they would fight tooth and nail against bandits.


  It is much simpler for Chi Li and other knights in the world.


  The bounty is calculated directly based on the head. An ordinary thief gets [-] taels of silver, and a bandit manager gets [-] taels of silver. If the bandit leader can be caught, he will be rewarded with a huge reward of [-] taels!


  Hearing this number, even Zhou Leer and the other three people standing next to Chi Li became excited.


  They also frankly did not hide their interest in the bounty. Even if they were not short of money, it was rare to encounter such a good opportunity to make money.


  At this time, the three of them were very happy that they stayed here specifically for Chi Li, and even took the initiative to participate in the bandit suppression operation. If not, where would they have encountered such a good thing? Thinking that Chi Li had brought them all this, everyone The eyes looking at Chi Li were filled with gratitude.


  Chili didn't know what the three of them were thinking. Their expressions changed. In the end, they all looked at her gratefully. She couldn't help but reflect on when she had helped them?


  But after much deliberation, I didn't think so, so I gave up.


  "Maybe they thought you brought them this opportunity to make money, so they thanked you." Xiaoli, who was still a bystander, saw it more clearly.


  "What's there to thank you for?" Chi Li didn't think she played any role in it. She didn't take credit, she just said realistically: "Their willingness to stay and observe the subsequent development of the matter is because they are kind and responsible. When they heard the government's request If they want to go to suppress the bandits and want to follow them, it is because they have a chivalrous and righteous heart. Although I have a little influence in it, it should not be big. In the end, all this is the result of their own choices. "


  "So is this good reward for good people?" Xiaoli asked.


  "Whether the reward will be good or not depends on whether the suppression of the bandits is successful." If it fails, there will be nothing to say.


  Since we have the information advantage, we should maximize this advantage, so the county magistrate, as the leader of the bandit suppression, set the attack time at nightfall when people are sleeping the most.


  At this time, even if the bandits will leave people on guard, most of them are asleep. If they attack suddenly and catch the opponent by surprise, the bandits will naturally fall into short-term chaos. During this period, the government will launch a full-scale attack. good time.


  "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, we can take the first step and bring down the bandits who are on guard duty." When the Lord Magistrate revealed his offensive plan, Chi Li took the initiative to suggest.


  Since you want to make a sneak attack, let's just make a sneak attack to the end.


  Not to mention Chi Li himself, the other three are also good in martial arts. Among them, sisters Zhou Le'er and Zhou Yue'er are both second-rate masters. But according to the two sisters, they have practiced a technique that can cooperate with each other to increase their power. If When the two sisters work together, their strength can reach the level of a first-class master.


  Zuo Zheng'an himself was a first-rate master. Chi Li later supported the two sisters and said that this man also had a famous name in the world, called Mr. Zuo Yu or something like that.


  The word "jade" in it not only means that the person is handsome and jade-like, but also means that the character of the person is as flawless as jade.


  Chi Li's suggestion was finally adopted by the county magistrate. After discussion, she, Zuo Zheng'an, and the Zhou sisters formed a group. The three groups of soldiers were divided into three groups and attacked in an encircling manner. Along the way, they saw bandits on guard duty. , just knock them all down, capture them alive if you can, or kill them on the spot if you can't capture them alive.


  The government officials would follow them at a distance. As soon as all the sentries in front were cleared, they would immediately rush in and attack with all their strength to wipe out the bandits.


  The plan was made, just waiting for the opportunity to come.


  While waiting, the officials did not relax their surveillance of the two people who had been arrested, the pawnshop owner, and everyone else working in the pawnshop.


  Although they arrested people very quickly, they were not sure whether the pawnshop owner had passed on the news before he was arrested, so the government had to be on guard against the thieves and send people to rob the prison and rescue them.


  Of course, such extremely vicious people may also directly kill people and silence them. These people are important witnesses to the government, and naturally they are not allowed to be killed casually.


  Fortunately, they may have arrested people too quickly, and the other party did not have time to pass on the news. The bandit leader did not always pay attention to the movements of his subordinates, so that he has not yet discovered that his evil deeds were exposed and he was caught. The evidence is conclusive, and now we are waiting to catch him and bring him to justice.


  It was night, and a ghostly figure flashed past among the hidden woods.


  Like a nimble cat, she appeared silently and disappeared silently. Each time she briefly appeared, a figure lying unconscious on the ground would be left behind.


  The people who followed up caught the fallen people one by one, and checked their breaths as usual. Sure enough, they were still alive. They immediately called the people behind them to bring hemp ropes and tied up the fallen people to prevent them from waking up. Struggling, there was a clerk-looking person standing next to him who raised his hand and made a note in the book.


  If someone looks closer, they can see that there are several names written on it, and one of them has almost two characters under his name.


  After knocking down another sentry, Chili not only knocked him out, but also tapped his acupuncture points. Even if he woke up halfway, he could not move or make a sound. He could only wait for the team behind him to catch him.


  After knocking down more than a dozen sentinels one after another, even Chi Li had to lament that this group of thieves were too cautious, and they actually arranged such old people just for sentry duty.


  Her side is only part of it, and there are definitely many people on the other two sides.


  I don’t know if they are going well or not?


  As soon as this thought came to mind, Chi Li saw a bright light suddenly flash across the dark sky, followed by a beautiful and dazzling firework blooming.


  Her heart suddenly thought, the secret path was not good, and regardless of whether there were any sentries along the way, she directly used Qinggong to drive at full speed and hit the hinterland of the bandits.


  The goal was clear, she wanted to catch the bandit leader before he saw the signal and ran away.


  The fireworks signal just now was obviously not set off by them, so it could only be set off by thieves who noticed something unusual.


  As soon as the signal came on, it indicated that there was an enemy invasion. There was no point in Chili and the others lurking in quietly, so they might as well go straight to the door and attack them head-on.


  Apparently, others thought so, too.


  Suddenly, all the teams stopped hiding their tracks. They showed up in a swaggering manner, lit torches, shouted slogans to suppress bandits, and rushed up the mountain. With this posture, they actually surrounded the entire mountain top of the bandit den, and the bandits They don't even know when they came up.


  "Trash! A bunch of trash!"


  Just as the government expected, they turned darkness into light. Although they lost the advantage of concealment, they immediately frightened the group of thieves.


  The bandit leader was awakened in the middle of the night and learned that his lair had been surrounded. He was so angry that he stabbed the guy who came to report the news with a knife. He was so frightened that everyone around him was silent and did not dare to breathe for fear of offending the boss's brow.


  However, now that the matter has come to this, there are only two things they can do.


  Either fight and push back the government soldiers, or run away and wait until you escape this disaster.


  "Brother, what shall we do next?"


  A person who was obviously a close associate of the bandit leader stood up under pressure and asked nervously.


  "What else can we do?" The bandit leader's cold eyes were full of murderous intent. He raised the blood-stained knife and shouted angrily: "That county magistrate is bullying people too much. We just want to live a peaceful life, but he They have been pestering us many times, and since they still dare to send troops to attack us today, let’s ask them to come back and see if they can’t come back without the troops. Will this little county magistrate still be able to hold the position of county magistrate in the future?”


  As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake.


  A group of bandit leaders have been entrenched here for a long time. Every previous county magistrate had the attitude of not provoking as much as possible and leaving at the end of their term. They treated him kindly, and some even offered him gifts. I beg them not to act too blatantly during their tenure.


  When he was born as the county magistrate, he was a fool. He not only pretended not to understand his request for confession, but also devoted himself to eradicating them.


  How could they just give in? Naturally, they tried their best to fight back, and during the fight, they discovered that the government officials were just a bunch of soft-legged shrimps, and they couldn't help but beat them.


  Since thieves and bandits dare to become bandits, they naturally have some skills. Among them, the leader of thieves and bandits has the highest martial arts. Otherwise, he would not be able to intimidate the hundreds of people under his command. He even just broke through some time ago and his strength has reached the level of a first-class master, making him His subordinates were even more fearful, which also made his self-confidence expand to an unprecedented level.


  So now that he was faced with another challenge from the government, not only did he not plan to run away, but he also planned to take this opportunity to simply kill all the people in the government. After the government soldiers were eliminated, he would send people to attack the county. All roads leading to the outside world are blocked, so this place has become his territory.


  From now on, he will be able to dominate here and live like an emperor. Just thinking about it makes him happy.


  "Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all, kill them all!"

"Come on, kill all those soft-footed shrimps!"

"Brother, don't be impulsive..."

……


  Everyone was aroused by their boss's arrogant words and became murderous. They all rushed out with weapons raised and shouting.


  Only one person in the crowd who looked like an aide remained calm. He felt that this move was inappropriate, and the government was obviously not unprepared for sending so many troops this time. He was worried that they might capsize in the gutter, and he wanted to dissuade them. Boss, please don't be so impulsive. Investigate the situation carefully before making a decision, but there's nothing you can do to stop this group of already enthusiastic people.


  Accidents often happen in unexpected places.


  The bandit leader who had just picked up the knife and stepped out of the room suddenly felt a pain in his temples, rolled his eyes, and was about to fall down.


  However, halfway down, he was able to forcefully wake up from his coma. He realized that he had been sneak attacked by an expert. He instinctively wanted to retreat to defend himself, but since the opponent had already taken action, he naturally did not give in. The reason for his escape.


  The powerful sword light flashed, and the internal force as huge as a surging wave roughly shook away everyone around the bandit leader. Those people seemed to be knocked over by a huge wave. They all flew out in one direction and fell heavily to the ground. I couldn't get up for a long time.    
  Taking advantage of this gap, the bandit leader had already started fighting with the visitor.


  No, it should be said that he was just fighting a trapped beast, but in just two moves, he was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back. In the end, he was hit on the Dantian with the back of his knife, which directly disabled his martial arts and even slapped him. The belt tied him tightly and he couldn't break free.


  The bandit leader who fell to the ground was sweating profusely, which was painful.


  The severe pain of having his martial arts forcibly disabled made his whole body tremble, but what made him even more desperate was that the martial arts he was so proud of could be disabled so easily!


  Moreover, his Dantian was also abolished, which meant that he would no longer be able to practice martial arts in the future.


  Recalling what he had done in the past, the bandit leader suddenly despaired. Without martial arts, he was like a tiger without claws, teeth and claws. He could only wait for others to kill him. In this case...


  There was a fierce look in his eyes, but before his teeth could bite down, his jaw was removed by someone with quick eyes and hands.


  "You can't die. It would be easier for you to die now. You should wait for the official trial later."


  At that time, no matter how much crime they have committed, they will be punished as much as possible, so that justice can be given to those who were harmed by them.


  Zuo Zheng'an, who came one step behind, stopped trying to join the fight after removing the jaw of the bandit leader, because he saw that Chi Li alone was enough to deal with all the bandits in the house, and if he stepped forward now, he would inevitably end up grabbing someone's head. If you are suspicious, just stay at the door and watch over the bandit leader.


  Chi Li's martial arts is so profound that no one except herself can understand the depth yet.


  All we know is that she must have surpassed the first-class masters and become one of the top, but there is also a sense of strength between top masters, so no one can estimate where she is.


  Anyway, the group of thieves were like a pile of vegetables in front of her. No matter how she slashed with her knife, she could easily chop them down.


  However, if you observe carefully, you can find that Chili's moves look fierce and powerful, but in fact she did not kill them. Those people were seriously injured, but they were still alive in the end, and no one died.


  After she stopped, the Zhou sisters, who came over at some point, each held a large bundle of hemp rope in their hands. The four of them worked together to tie up the guys who had obviously higher status among the thieves to prevent them. Escape.


  After doing this, the Zhou sisters and Zuo Zhengan immediately went out to help the government eliminate other ordinary bandits.


  This time it was Chi Li's turn not to grab someone's head.


  She has already taken the most valuable ones, and the rest must be left to others. She can't eat meat but not even leave soup for others to drink.


  This anti-bandit operation ended unexpectedly quickly, but the result was an unprecedented success.


  There were more than [-] thieves in total. Not a single one was left alive. They were all killed and captured.


  In the end, there were so many people that the government had to tie them up into several strings with hemp ropes before escorting them down the mountain.


  In addition, there are various stolen goods in this den of thieves that need to be cleaned up and collected, which is none of Chi Li's business.


  After assisting the government in exterminating the bandits, several of them were invited down the mountain and arranged to stay at the best inn in the town. They would be rewarded after the government had properly dealt with the matter.


  Chi Li didn't care how long she had to wait. She was a little sleepy after staying up all night, so she went straight to sleep as soon as she entered the room and didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning.


  Just when I woke up, I heard footsteps approaching from outside.


  She walked over to open the door and met the Zhou sisters who were about to knock on her door.


  "Is there a problem?"


  "The government has sent someone to deliver the reward, and we are here to ask you to collect the reward together." Zhou Leer said with anticipation: "I don't know how much reward we sisters can get."


  Zhou Yue'er added next to her: "It's a pity that we were so excited about killing last night that we forgot how many thieves we killed. Otherwise, we could have calculated it ourselves."


  "Didn't the government say there was someone to record the records? Let's go and take a look." Ignoring the cruel words in the words of the two sisters, such as "killing with too much joy", Chili directly closed the door and followed her. The two of them went to see someone from the government.


  The clothes she wore were still the same as last night, because they were still a little wrinkled after sleeping. She ran her hands along the folds twice and found that they were uneven. Chi Li watched them almost reach the door of a private room, and did not mention that she wanted to go back and change. About clothes.


  The people from the government were very good at doing things. They knew that it was difficult to take out so much money in public, so they simply booked a private room in the inn and invited several knights from the world to come to the private room to collect their respective silver rewards.


  According to calculations, Chili killed the fewest bandits among all the people, but except for the dozen or so ordinary bandits who were sentry at the beginning, the rest were all the big and small leaders of the bandits, and there were even some A bandit leader.


  Therefore, she received the largest reward, nearly four thousand taels of silver.


  Followed by Zuo Zheng'an, he single-handedly wiped out more than fifty bandits, including several bandits who were in charge, and was rewarded with more than [-] taels of silver.


  The Zhou sisters worked together to exterminate nearly a hundred bandits and received a reward of more than a thousand taels of silver. It seemed that the two of them actually got more money than Zuo Zhengan, but they were two sisters, and when divided, they received less money than Zuo Zhengan alone. .


  There were more than [-] bandits. In fact, Chili and the others wiped out nearly two-thirds of them. The remaining credit was given to the government officials. They avoided the most dangerous bandits and lost a lot of them. The pressure from the numbers of most of the thieves made the fight quite easy, at least no one died.


  Of course, someone must be injured if someone is injured, but as long as the person is okay and gets credit and rewards, it won't be a big deal to the person involved, and they will actually make money.


  So this is a happy ending. The only unlucky ones are the bandits who were wiped out, but these people have done many evil things and are not worthy of pity.


  What happens to the bandits who are finally captured and brought to justice is a matter for the government. Chili and the others have finished their work, collected the reward, and then the mission is over, and they can leave here.


  Before leaving, Chili specially invited the Zhou sisters and Zuo Zhengan to have a meal.


  "We are destined to meet each other. Zuo is very happy to make all of you friends. I would like to toast to you all."


  At the dinner table, Zuo Zheng'an skillfully raised his glass and started to toast. Everyone also picked up their own glasses to toast each other in a dignified manner and drank all the wine in one gulp.


  Among the four, only Chili's cup was filled with tea instead of wine.


  She doesn't like to drink, and she doesn't think milk tea soda is as delicious as milk tea and soda. But there are no milk tea and soda here, so she can only settle for some tea.


  Fortunately, everyone is not the kind of person who insists on asking their friends to drink. If she doesn't drink, just let her. Anyway, they can enjoy themselves.


  After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Yue'er was still smiling and lying on Chi Li's shoulder, shouting that she wanted to kill the big guy. Chi Li reluctantly pushed her head back to her sister: "Aren't you going to kill me now?"


  With that said, she raised her hand to find the waiter to pay the bill.


  After settling the bill, Chi Li asked the waiter to help take Zuo Zhengan back to his room. With one hand, she easily held the two Zhou sisters at her waist, and sent them away despite the shocked looks of others. Go back to their room, and then go back to your own room to pack your things.


  Yes, Chili is ready to leave.


  She had already spent too much time here and it was time to move on to the next place.


  Before leaving, Chi Li also left a message for each of the Zhou sisters and Zuo Zheng'an, asking the shopkeeper to wait until they sobered up to deliver it later.


  And she had already mounted a newly bought horse and galloped away from here.


  Chili's next destination is clear, she is going to the capital.


  There is the political and economic center of a country, and it is also where countless martial arts forces are entrenched.


  Zhongli's family is not located there, but some of their family's forces have settled in the capital. However, Chi Li is not going for that force, she is coming for another force in the world.


  Wanwen Tower, a Jianghu organization that claims to know all the news in the world, specializes in all kinds of news trading, and its headquarters is located in the capital.


  Chili went to find them to buy information.


  She wanted to investigate the truth behind the Chi family's extermination, so naturally she wouldn't be stupid enough to investigate it all by herself. If she really wanted to do this, she might not be able to find out everything until she died. In that case, she might as well go directly to a professional to investigate for her. Everything she wanted to know.


  The price she had to pay for this was just some money. It happened that the thing she lacked most now was money.


  After riding hard all the way for more than ten days, Chi Li arrived in the capital city covered in dust.


  Outsiders need a way to enter the capital, and Chili has one.


  As early as after she became a disciple of the old man, he somehow used some method to put Chili in his household registration as his granddaughter, which also gave Chili another legal identity in this world.


  The surname in the household registration is that of the old man, Gongyang.


  So now Chili calls itself Gongyangli.


  In the small town, Chi Li used to introduce herself as Chi Li to the Zhou sisters and Zuo Zhengan. When she arrived in the capital, some people might guess something from her name, so she changed her surname.


  Anyway, her documents and documents are all legal, and the old man has lived in seclusion a long time ago. No one knows when he had a granddaughter. Even if someone goes to check, nothing unusual can be found.


  Now whenever Chili goes out, she puts on makeup to widen the gap between her original appearance and Xiaoli's, so that her former acquaintances, especially those from Zhongli's family, will not recognize her even if they meet face to face.


  After the gatekeeper soldiers checked the road and led the horses into the capital city gate, they saw the bustling streets with a slightly familiar feeling.


  Chi Li has also stayed in other capitals of the ancient world. The feeling there was somewhat similar to hers here, but not exactly the same. After all, they are two different worlds, and some differences are normal.


  Without rushing to find the location of Wanwen Tower, Chi Li first found an inn to stay at, and left the horse in the inn's stable. Then, carrying a stack of banknotes, she walked into the street when no one was paying attention. In a remote alley. (End of chapter)
