"Okay, I'm here to see you this time, there is a big deal, go in and talk!" Zhu Zhuzhu hurriedly said before Liu Ruohan.
He was deeply afraid that Liu Ruohan's casual words would be taken seriously by Gou Fugui, and then he would have to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
……
"Here we are, this is our cottage, let's look grand!"
Gou Fugui pointed to a bunch of simple wooden houses, and said proudly: "I built it by myself!"
Outside the house, hundreds of burly men of various shapes and colors stood densely.
"Copycat?"
Liu Ruohan was taken aback.
"Don't worry, girl, our Wudi Shanzhai never does anything harmful to nature. Our purpose is to help those big families share the pressure of spending money." Gou Fugui smiled evilly.
"Did you go out to 'hunt'?"
Zhu Zhuzhu's face sank, and he said coldly: "Didn't you tell me that in order to hide your whereabouts, you are not allowed to go out to 'hunt'?"
Chapter 164: I have someone above me!
Zhu Zhuzhu was a little angry.
This group of people went so far as to become bandits on their own.
After all, this place is so close to the capital, once news of bandits spreads, why doesn't the imperial court send a large army to encircle and suppress them?
All the money spent on these gangsters over the years was wasted.
However, after hearing Zhu Zhuzhu's words, Gou Fugui seemed extremely dissatisfied, and said with a resentful face: "I have so many brothers, and you give so much money every month, how can it be enough to spend?"
"The money is gone, and I can't find you, so why not just watch my brothers starve to death here?"
"You are cold-blooded and ruthless, I can't do it!"
"500 taels a month is not enough to spend?"
Zhu Zhuzhu's eyes widened.
There are only two hundred people here, which is equivalent to two taels of silver per person per month, which is enough to eat.
"Where is it enough! Our brothers don't just have to eat, we are not allowed to marry and have children, and we are not allowed to..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing that Gou Fugui was going to make a long speech, Zhu Zhuzhu hurriedly stopped him.
"Go in and talk!"
……
Not long after, in one of the largest rooms in the cottage, several people were sitting upright, ready to discuss important matters.
"His Royal Highness King Yue!!!"
Gou Fugui looked at Liu Ruohan excitedly, and said in surprise, "You mean, our boss is His Highness King Yue? Really?"
He had never been this excited in his life.
That's the prince!
If you hang out with such a person of status and status, you will have a bright future in the future!
Liu Ruohan hesitated in his heart, first glanced at Zhu Zhuzhu, and then said: "That's right, as long as you complete His Highness's errands this time, you don't have to hide in the deep mountains and old forests."
"Then can you follow His Highness? There are many brothers who are wanted outside."
"What is your highness's status, it is not easy to solve the arrest warrant!"
"That's great!" Gou Fugui looked excited, "Miss Liu, you are my mother!"
"Do not talk nonsense!"
Liu Ruohan's face darkened, showing displeasure, and continued: "Next, let's talk about the mission, listen carefully."
Then Liu Ruohan explained the tasks one by one.
"Is there a problem?"
"It's a trivial matter! As long as you give me money, you can talk about anything!" Gou Fugui said indifferently.
Zhu Zhuzhu took out a large bag of silver at the right time and handed it over.
"This is the reward, a total of 1000 taels."
Gou Fugui smiled happily and wanted to take the money, but Liu Ruohan stretched out his hand and pressed him down.
She said lightly: "After the matter is completed, I will get the money."
"Humph!"
When Gou Fugui heard this, he immediately said unhappily: "Are you doubting our strength? This trivial matter is simply a piece of cake."
"What kind of strength do you have?" Liu Ruohan asked.
"Hmph! Among my brothers, there are more than ten people who are born with supernatural power..."
Gou Fugui said, pointing to the weapon rack placed in the corner of the wall and said: "Did you see the throwing gun on it? In their hands, this kind of big killer can be thrown three hundred steps away."
"There are more than forty people who used to be veterans who retired from the front line. They killed people and made money. They are all above the standard."
"The rest are also heroes of the rivers and lakes, and all of them have impressive records."
"In addition, we have [-] Liannu, more than [-] Mo Dao handles, more than [-] Pu Dao handles, more than [-] ox horn bows, and about [-] iron shields. Are these enough?"
"If it's not enough, we can make a siege cloud vehicle overnight."
Gou Fugui spoke with strong pride.
Where is this kind of equipment configuration that bandits can have?
Even the armed forces in ordinary small places may not have such a level of equipment.
Liu Ruohan couldn't help but nodded secretly after hearing this.
These more than 200 people are all veterans.
And with excellent equipment, if the command is proper, this mission is indeed not difficult.
At this moment, the mutation protruded.
A big man rushed in and shouted: "Master Gou, it's bad, there are many officers and soldiers outside the village!"
"Why panic? Be calm!"
Gou Fugui said nonchalantly: "Those must be the people sent by His Highness King Yue, our own people!"
But Liu Ruohan and Zhu Zhuzhu frowned at this moment, with serious expressions on their faces.
"Your Highness only sent me two people!" Zhu Zhuzhu said in a deep voice.
"What?" Gou Fugui was stunned, and said in surprise, "The officers and soldiers outside are..."
"Oops!" His face changed instantly, "Could it be that they are here to encircle us?"
"alert!"
"Everyone put on their equipment and go out to meet the enemy!"
He yelled loudly and rushed out.
Zhu Zhuzhu and Liu Ruohan looked at each other, their expressions were very serious.
What happened to the sudden officers and soldiers?
It stands to reason that this place is very secretive and shouldn't be discovered.
……
At the same time, Xue Rengui has gradually approached the cottage with his people.
"Your Highness, the stealth failed, the enemy should have discovered us." Li Junxian reported to Li Xiao.
"Change, raid mode." Li Xiao said lightly.
"Yes!"
The order was passed on.
In an instant, someone who gave orders blew a unique whistle.
The three hundred flying cavalry companies hidden in the forest rushed out from behind the cover in an instant, and the crossbow arrows in their hands had already changed into melee weapons.
The terrain in the forest was complicated and there were many obstacles, so Li Xiao gave up the tactic of using the flintlock to push flat.
At this moment, under the leadership of Xue Rengui, countless flying cavalry company soldiers with sharp blades rushed towards the mountain stronghold in front of them.
However, at this moment, the gate of the cottage opened on its own initiative.
Gou Fugui led a group of people standing at the door and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
"Stop! One of our own!"
"Don't do it, it's all yours!"
These shouts made Li Xiao look confused.
This bandit has also learned to master it?
Still know how to use tricks?
He didn't bother to pay attention at all.
"Where are you officers and soldiers from? You are so bold!"
Seeing that the enemy was still rushing towards him, Gou Fugui shouted loudly: "We are also members of the imperial court, let you take the lead to speak out!"
"Ok?"
Li Xiao frowned in doubt.
He found that this man really didn't look like he was lying.
And to give up sticking to the door, but choose to come out, it seems quite sincere.
This made him a little uncertain. Are these people really from the imperial court?
He hesitated, then waved his hand.
Li Junxian immediately passed the order, and all the recruits of the flying cavalry company immediately stopped in the distance after receiving the order, and found a bunker to hide behind.
"Your Highness, beware of fraud!" Li Junxian reminded with a frown.
"It's okay, go and have a look."
Li Xiao walked forward slowly with a row of shield soldiers.
At this time, Liu Ruohan and Zhu Zhuzhu also saw the outside scene through the gap.
Both of them shrank their pupils!
"Li Xiao!"
They never expected to meet Li Xiao here.
The gate of the cottage.
"Where are you an officer? Why did you lead someone to attack Lao Tzu?"
Seeing Li Junxian standing at the front, Gou Fugui asked arrogantly.
"I was ordered to suppress the thieves!" Li Junxian frowned.
"Hehe." Gou Fugui sneered, "How dare you!"
"There are people above me!"
"If you offend that lord, can you bear it? No matter who your lord is, you will be finished!"
Hearing this, Li Xiao said thoughtfully in his eyes: "Your lord, are you called Changsun Wuji?"
"He's a fart!"
Gou Fugui said with disdain: "I am a member of His Royal Highness King Yue!"
