Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 78 Knowing the Rules

The flames shot up into the sky beside the post station.

Thick smoke was billowing, with a foul smell that made people want to vomit.

"gone."

Li Xiuyuan waited for the fire to go out and it was already dawn, so he ordered the guards to continue on their way.

The guards extinguished the remaining fire, carried the boxes, prepared the carriages and horses, and soon the group continued to set off for Wangchuan Mountain.

In fact, Wangchuan Mountain is not far away, it's just that the group of people was delayed on the way, and they couldn't walk fast with the carriage, so they dragged on for several days.

"Master, that scholar named Wang Ping is still unconscious. Shall we leave him in the inn? This scholar has a lot of troubles, and even wants to save that evil spirit. I think it will be a mess if we take him with him." Trouble." Tieshan rode over at this time and asked.

"No, take him with you and wake him up when we reach Wangchuan Mountain. Although Wang Ping is a dull scholar, he has a good heart after all." Li Xiuyuan said.

Tieshan responded and walked away, ordering the guards to put Wang Ping on the carriage.

The journey was uneventful.

At noon, everyone could already see the mountains in the distance.

"Master, Wangchuan Mountain is just ahead." A guard said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "By the way, how is Li Zhong who was injured yesterday?"

"Back to young master, after Li Zhong vomited yesterday, his life was no longer in danger, but a bloody gash was cut on his back by the evil spirit. Although the wound was sewn up and bandaged, the injury was still not serious. Retire, I'm a little worried that Li Zhong won't be able to survive." The guard said.

"Go to Wangchuan Mountain quickly, there is a doctor there who can help him heal." Li Xiuyuan said.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, more than a dozen riders galloped towards here on the mountain road in the distance.

The guards became subconsciously vigilant.

Tieshan said at this time: "Young Master, it's Wu Fei, Han Meng and the others, they're our people."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, letting everyone put down their vigilance.

"Wow~!"

A dozen or so riders came galloping quickly, and the leader was a bald man named Wu Fei, with a vicious look on his face that made people daunting.

A few days ago, this person led people to rush into the county government office in Guobei County, and killed that county magistrate Liu with a knife.

"Eldest Young Master, why did you come here now? I thought something happened to Eldest Young Master on the way. I sent several people to investigate, and today I found the whereabouts of Eldest Young Master and others." Wu Fei touched his bald head and grinned. smiled.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I encountered some trifles on the road and was delayed for a while. How is my father? Is it all right?"

Wu Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Master is fine, he is recuperating at Wangchuan Mountain, but his injury has deteriorated."

"Isn't there a doctor on the mountain?" Li Xiuyuan frowned suddenly.

Han Meng next to him said: "The doctor's skills are not good, and he can't cure the master."

"It seems that we have to go to Guobei County to find that Doctor Fan."

Li Xiuyuan said: "However, I have to see how my father's injury is before drawing conclusions."

The crowd nodded.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "By the way, there is a scholar who fell asleep in my car. I met him passing by. Wu Fei, play a villain for a while and drive him away. I am here this time to redeem someone. This scene It has to be played in its entirety, so as not to leak the wind.”

"Young Master, there is no one around here, so it's better to kill the scholar with one knife, so that there is no possibility of getting out." Wu Fei touched his bald head and smiled a little.

Li Xiuyuan glared at him: "Others have no grievances against us, how could they take other people's lives casually? I killed that county magistrate Liu before because that corrupt official was so greedy that he wanted to take over my Li family. I just made this bad move, well, stop talking nonsense, and go about your business."

"Okay, young master." Wu Fei responded, and led a few men with bad looks to the side of the carriage.

"Little brother, wake up, wake up."

Wu Fei grinned and patted Wang Ping's face with the cold back of the knife.

Wang Ping woke up vaguely: "Hey, it's dawn, who are you?"

Seeing a steel knife dangling in front of him, he was so startled that he lost all sleepiness and almost jumped up in fright.

"Father Wu Fei, Wang Chuanshan's robber, you have been robbed." Wu Fei smiled viciously.

"robber?"

Wang Ping was so frightened that his face turned bright and pale, and he thought of something, quickly covered his face with his sleeve, and said hurriedly, "I understand, I understand, I understand everything."

"What do you know, kid?" Wu Fei said.

"The robbers you want are the most taboo to show their faces. If they see you, they will kill you. I understand this rule."

Wang Ping trembled all over and said: "I don't look at your faces, and you don't kill me either. I'm a poor scholar and I don't have much money. I only have a dozen taels of silver pressed into silver cakes and put them in your shoes. Take them all. Take it all, I don't want a cent."

"Damn it, you don't think it stinks if you put money in your shoes. I don't care for your stinky money. I still have big business to do here. Get lost, you poor scholar." Wu Fei cursed. , and then kicked Wang Ping to get out.

While covering his face with his sleeve, Wang Ping ran away in a hurry.

But halfway through, he ran back again.

"You poor scholar, why are you back?" Wu Fei said angrily.

"Mr. Li of Guobei County and I have saved our lives. He is a good man. I ask this big robber brother to let him go. I am willing to give you all the money you have hidden in your belt." Wang Ping covered his face while Take off your belt.

"You scholar dared to lie to me. It looks like you don't want to live anymore." Wu Fei was furious, pretending to kill him.

Wang Ping was so frightened that he trembled, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. This Wang Ping was indeed kind and loyal, yet he thought of himself at this time.

But right now he doesn't want Wang Ping to stay here any longer.

Immediately, he gave a glance.

Han Meng next to him immediately understood, took a bag of horse food, put it directly on Wang Ping's head, and knocked him unconscious with a palm

"He's going to Guo Beicheng to test for talent, and he'll come back after putting him near Guo Beicheng." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master."

Han Meng immediately greeted a man, took the fainted Wang Ping with him, and then rode away quickly on a fast horse.

"Hey, Eldest Young Master, this scholar is a different kind of person, and he can't be frightened, yet he dares to come back." Wu Fei said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not that he couldn't be scared, on the contrary, he was so scared that he almost passed out, it's just because he is a scholar, he has morality in his heart, even if it's life and death, he doesn't want to lose this morality, now I understand , why did Wang Ping meet a ghost and not die?"

This kind of scholar is destined to be sheltered in the dark, and will not die so easily.

This kind of protection can be said to be Fuze, Yinde, kindness and so on.

In the world of Liaozhai, karma is everywhere, good and evil are rewarded.

There are small evils and small goodness in the world, and there are great evils and great goodness in the world.

Just how long can this order of good and evil be rewarded?
Nobody knows.

"Go, look up at Chuanshan."

After Li Xiuyuan saw him leave, he gave another order.

Wangchuan Mountain is huge, with undulating mountains, stretching along a big river.

The top of Wangchuan Mountain that Wu Fei occupies is a mountain near the official road. Because the weeds fell here a long time ago, he built a cottage, took root, and settled down.

However, because they took refuge in the Li family, they did not do this business of cutting diameters. Most of the brothers joined the bodyguard bureau and became bodyguards, leaving only some family members, wives and children, living in Wangchuanshan.

It's more like a village than a bandit.

It's just that there was no news in ancient times, Wu Fei had been with the Li family for many years, and people around here thought Wu Fei was a bandit.

And Li Xiuyuan also intentionally or unintentionally allowed Wu Fei to maintain his identity as a bandit, which might come in handy someday.

"Wu Fei, you have gained some fame in Wangchuan Mountain these years, why didn't you attract soldiers from the imperial court to suppress you?" Li Xiuyuan asked on the way.

"Hey, the young master doesn't know. Where did the imperial court come from? When I robbed the caravan before, they said they wanted to send soldiers to exterminate me. But what happened later? Those merchants spent money to clear the way In the end, when the soldiers were dispatched, they were patched together, and they couldn't make up 100 people, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. How could those soldiers suppress the bandits? If they came, I'm afraid they would be suppressed by me gone."

Wu Fei said here, a little complacently.

"To be honest, the salary of soldiers in the imperial court is not enough to support themselves. If some soldiers don't have some filial piety, they still need to rely on their wives to make up for it. But any man with a little ability will not be a soldier, but a guard. Escort, isn't it more enjoyable than this?"

"Besides, even if you don't want to, you can get a big reward if you go to arrest the thieves for the six gates of the imperial court."

　When I got home and read the book reviews, all kinds of scolding, I lost the mood to write a book. Does every author have to go through this?
