Chapter 190 The Bandit's Revenge

Chapter 190 The Bandit's Revenge

"My lord, is this inappropriate?" Yu Ji looked at Zhao Gang with some concern.

"Don't worry, some thieves are still in my eyes."

Just as he was thinking, Zhao Gang stood up and came to the white-haired girl's magic trick and bowed to her: "Thank you, Master!"

The girl didn't talk to her, she took a sip of water from her cup and said lightly, "I didn't do it to save you. I just don't like these bastards bullying women."

Zhao Gang nodded, turned around and sat down.

The woman in front of me is none other than Taoist Tianzong Xiaomeng.

In this era, like Confucianism, Taoism also divided into two different factions in the face of the unified Qin State.

Tianzong believed that the overall situation was now decided, and it was better to obey Qin's rule than to fight against Qin.

After all, Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, traveled all the way west from Qin State. Qin State also respected Lao Tzu very much. Now it is not a disadvantage to seek refuge in Qin State.

But Renzong's Xiaoyaozi believed that Qin was a country of tigers and wolves, and that colluding with them would lead to death sooner or later, so he has always been in an opposing position.

Renzong and Tianzong were originally in the same situation, but now politics has been mixed in, making the relationship between the two factions continue to deteriorate, and even the tragedy of attacking and killing each other.

Now that Xiaomeng came to Sanghai, one is to relax, and the other is to meet Fu Nian to discuss the next countermeasures.

Unlike Confucianism living in Sanghai, the situation of Taoism is not peaceful now.

With the continuous expansion of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, Donghai County, where Taoism is located, has now become Zhang Er's next attack.If you continue to place the foundation of Taoism in the East China Sea, sooner or later it will be covered by the flames of war.

Just as Zhao Gang sat down, the waiter came out from the back kitchen with a tray.

"Guest, I have kept you waiting."

After finishing speaking, he placed a food box on the tray in front of Zhao Gang Yuji.

"Is this the shark fin we want?"

The shop waiter lifted the cover, and a scent came out quickly.

"smell good!"

Yu Ji couldn't help sighing.

Unlike in Shangjun before, Zhao Gang in Sanghai is busy all day long with wooing Confucianism, so it is impossible to cook.

Now smelling such a delicacy, it is natural to drool.

Zhao Gang tasted it, and it was really delicious, so he said to the waiter in the shop, "I wonder if Master Pao Ding is here?"

"The guest wants to see my shopkeeper?"

"That's right!"

The waiter in the shop sighed softly: "It's too unfortunate, my shopkeeper happened to go up the mountain."

"Up the mountain?"

"Our inn is responsible for the meals at Little Shengxian Village on the mountain."

Zhao Gang nodded and stopped talking.

On the other side, on a mountain outside Songhai City.

The strong man whose arm was cut off by Xiaomeng was stumbling back to the mountain, begging to see his boss.

The terrain of Qinglong Mountain is rugged, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At the beginning, Qi State built a grain and grass warehouse here as a supply.

After the Qi State was destroyed, some of the death row prisoners who escaped by chance took over the mountain, and from then on they caused trouble to the surrounding people, robbing their homes and doing all kinds of bad things.

Although the prefect of Songhai led troops to conquer many times, it was difficult to succeed because of the rugged terrain.

Now that the world is in chaos, the soldiers of Qi County are also starting to look back at Guanzhong. It is impossible for the soldiers who have not left for the time being to go to conquer Qinglong Mountain again, and Qinglong Mountain is becoming more and more courageous.

In the past, they just plundered the passing merchants, but now they have dared to attack Songhai City directly in the daytime.

Hearing that his subordinates had been humiliated, the leader of Qinglong Mountain couldn't sit still, and directly ordered a thousand bandits to come down the mountain and head straight for Sanghai City.

In Songhai City, a few soldiers had no idea that the crisis had come. They were still talking and laughing at the people going in and out of the city.

"I heard that there was also a rebellious army in Yingchuan. Fortunately, General Wang Ben discovered it early and led his army to defeat them."

"Yingchuan is the only way for us to go home. If Yingchuan is lost, it will be difficult for us to go back."

These few soldiers are all old Qin people.

It's just that they have never experienced the unification war of the Great Qin Dynasty, and they have not experienced bloody winds. They just entered the army and came to this Songhai station when the Great Qin wanted to station soldiers abroad.

"Alas! I don't know if it is possible to go back in this life."

Several companions comforted each other.

At this moment, a large group of black shadows suddenly appeared on the horizon.

"what is that?"

Several soldiers discovered this situation and gathered around.

It wasn't until the black shadows entered the range of five hundred steps that they realized that these black shadows were actually a large group of people.

Where did the rioters come from?
Several people looked at each other and suddenly thought of something.

"No, it's Qinglong Mountain. The bandits from Qinglong Mountain are here. Quickly, close the gate and ring the bell to show your respect!"

Several companions worked together, and then the rapid bell rang on the tower.

The passers-by in the city all looked over involuntarily.

Outside the city gate, a large group of bandits were roaring towards them. Only then did the people know what had happened. They were panicked and the scene was in chaos.

Zhao Gang, who was still eating, suddenly heard a reminder in his mind.

"Activate the mission, defend Songhai, and avoid bandits. For every commoner who survives, 1 correction point will be rewarded; for every commoner who dies, 1 correction point will be deducted."

Zhao Gang was taken aback, looked at Yu Ji in front of him, and then at the people beside him.

"Eat quickly, and leave here immediately after eating."

"What's wrong?" Yu Ji didn't know why, she looked at Zhao Gang in front of her.

"It seems that those bandits from Qinglong Mountain are coming to take revenge on me so soon!"

Yu Ji froze for a moment, looked around and did not see any strangers coming in.

Zhao Gang grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, go back to the inn quickly. Mr. Gongshu is there, so you don't have to worry about your safety."

"how about you?"

"This incident is all because of me. If all the people in Sanghai are in danger because of me, then I, Zhao Gang, have no face to face the people of the world."

The moment Zhao Gang announced his name, Xiao Meng, who was behind him, was also taken aback.

He had heard Zhao Gang's name calloused for a long time in the past few months.

It can be said that this name is more or less related to Taoism, as well as various schools of thought. It is because of the appearance of this name that the whole era has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Maybe it's fate that allowed Xiaomeng to meet Zhao Gang here.

"Your Excellency is His Majesty's guest minister Zhao Gang?"

Zhao Gang turned his head to look at Xiaomeng and nodded: "I didn't disclose my identity just now, I hope Master Xiaomeng will forgive me."

There was no wave on Xiaomeng's face, she looked Zhao Gang up and down with her eyes and said, "You just said that the bandits from Qinglong Mountain are coming to take revenge?"

Zhao Gang nodded: "I predicted this news, and if I guessed correctly, they are already on their way at this moment."

Xiaomeng said: "I am more or less responsible for this matter, since the bandits take revenge, you can't bear it all by yourself."

"This..." Zhao Gang was still hesitating.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man ran in and shouted at the people around him, "It's not good, the bandits are here!"
