Liaozhai Great Sage

These people were surprised, different, and curious, and all looked in the direction of the sound.

"I'm Li Xiuyuan, the young master of the Li family. I have something to say when I summon you today. I hope you all listen to me quietly. I don't mind if you were noisy before, but from now on, I will never forgive anyone who disturbs me. " Li Xiuyuan shouted again.

Young master of the Li family?

Some people know it, and many people don't.

Someone in the crowd smelled it: "Li Xiuyuan, do you know the young master of the Li family?"

"I don't know him, but he must be Master Li's son, our boss."

"It turned out to be the Young Master's family. The voice is quite loud."

Some whispers sounded, although they didn't dare to speak loudly, but they hid in the dark to discuss.

However, when these people were whispering, Li Xiuyuan glanced away, and immediately rode over with a cold face, pointed at the three people and said, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to disturb? Why don't you three listen? "

"Young Master, we are wrong, please forgive me, Young Master."

A slightly thin man smiled flatteringly.

Li Xiuyuan yelled: "Han Meng, take these three people down, give each of them ten sticks as a record, and the ones who disturb them will give each of them twenty sticks as an extra."

"Yes, young master."

Han Meng clasped his fists in response, took a few people and pushed the three people to the ground, picked up a stick and beat them.

"Young master, this, this is wronged, I just muttered a few words, so I don't need to beat ten sticks." The man hurriedly shouted.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I have something to say first, and I will never forgive you lightly. Do you think that I am just talking casually? If you have some backbone, you can resist these ten sticks. Don't let people look down on you and think that you can't even hold ten sticks." .”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them immediately suppressed their mouths and stopped shouting grievances, so as not to be ashamed in front of so many men.

"This is the Young Master's family trying to build their prestige." Some shrewd bodyguards secretly said in their hearts.

At this time, whoever is out of his mind and making trouble will be bumped into the hands of the young master. Ten sticks are considered light. If they are hit with twenty or thirty sticks, they may not be able to get off the ground for a month.

"Very good, I don't want anyone to commit the crime again, so keep your ears up now, I'll just say it once, don't let it go to your ears." Li Xiuyuan rode back and shouted standing on the mound.

"Just last month, in a certain place in Yangzhou, a bandit leader named Li Liangjin gathered a crowd to rebel. Now nearly [-] people have swept across more than ten cities in Yangzhou. I believe that some well-informed bodyguards have already known about this, but some I don’t know, but it’s okay, you will all know about it after today.”

"Li Liangjin's rebellion, if it continues like this, Jinling City will be invaded near the New Year's Eve. At that time, Guobei City and Guobei County will also be affected. If you want to make money from darts, it will be impossible to support your family. By then you You can only become a disaster victim, a refugee, or go away to escape the disaster, or be coerced by the bandit army, and then be wiped out by the court to become a traitor, there is no other way to go."

As soon as these words were said, thousands of people suddenly went into an uproar.

The scene couldn't help becoming a little restless.

Many bodyguards seem to have never thought that Yangzhou, where they are located, has already been rebelled, and there are still 10 people.

"Quiet."

Li Xiuyuan shouted again: "The rebels are about to hit the door of the house. If you don't want to become refugees, rebels, and don't want to lose your wife and children, follow me Li Xiuyuan today, guard the door with me, and keep the rebels out. To be rewarded by the imperial court, to become a guerrilla general, to be qualified to recruit village braves and form an army, calling you here today is to let you become a member of my Li family army and fight against bandits together."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and scanned the crowd to see their reactions.

Chapter 4 Eleven Shocking

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, many people hesitated, and many people were eager to try. Of course, some people shook their heads.

"I said, Young Master, this war is a matter of the imperial court. We are just bodyguards. It has nothing to do with us. Why should the Young Master spend so much effort to serve the imperial court? Those dog officials are so hateful, it would be better if they die cleanly." The man suddenly said loudly.

After hearing this, many people around agreed.

They are all poor people, which one has not been persecuted by the officials, and now it is very contradictory to ask them to work for the court.

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "I didn't say I asked you to work for the court, but for my Li family. Is this enough reason?"

"Young master, it's a job for a small dart to make money. If you go to the battlefield, you don't need to go, and ask the young master to invite someone else." The man grinned and said with a look of indifference.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Yes, anyone who doesn't want to join the army can leave. I, Li Xiuyuan, will not force you, but you have to leave from the Li family's bodyguard company. It would be best if you are white. If you have committed a crime, then don’t blame my Li family for not taking care of it, just do whatever you want, and follow the rules of the escort company.”

As soon as these words came out, many bodyguards with unclean backgrounds had no way out.

The man's expression froze as well, and he said, "Young master, it's a bit too much to cross the river and demolish the bridge, the young one also sacrificed his life for the Li family."

"You are working for yourself. Didn't the Li family give you money for a trip to the escort?"

Li Xiuyuan said coldly; "If you take this job, you must abide by the rules of the job. Now joining the army is for my Li family to work hard. There are rules of hard work. You are indispensable for food and clothing. If you make credit, you will be rewarded by the court. It’s not a problem to come down and ask for an official position, but if someone thinks that I’ve done too much by crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, they can stand up, and I won’t punish you with rules.”

"Doesn't the Escort Bureau believe in those with high martial arts skills to be the head of the bodyguard? I will follow this rule. Whoever can surpass me in martial arts can not only leave, but my Li family will also give 1000 taels of silver as a reward, and can continue to be the head of the bodyguard." , if you can't beat me, just go back obediently and obey my orders."

"Young master's word is right?"

A man in the crowd couldn't help shouting loudly.

"In front of thousands of people, will I lie?"

Li Xiuyuan shouted; "Don't say I don't give you a chance, if you don't have enough skills to get out of here, you can't blame me."

"One mouthful of saliva, one nail. The young master said this, so I will try it. Don't blame the young master for being inhumane if I hurt the young master."

The man from before grinned, obviously impatient to get up.

This is someone who doesn't want to join the army, but wants to continue working as an escort to earn money.

After all, there are bodyguards protecting them, so many of them can rest assured that they don't know where to make a living without the bodyguards.

"You need to kill one person to establish your prestige."

Li Xiuyuan saw that many bodyguards couldn't help but want to rush up to challenge him, and immediately thought to himself.

If you don't kill people, you can't let people know how powerful you are. After seeing blood, these people will feel at ease.

"Fist or weapon? It's up to you." Li Xiuyuan looked at the man and said.

"The Young Master has a big tone. The young one is a worker. How dare you use a knife to the Young Master. Let's fight, so that the Young Master won't pee his pants when he sees the knife, haha."

The man rolled up his sleeves, exposing his thick arms, and then smiled wildly and triumphantly.

"Okay, it's up to you, compare fists and feet."

Li Xiuyuan got off his horse and strode away with a cold face.

"I really want to do it. I thought the Shaodong family was just talking about it. The weak appearance of the Shaodong family is like giving away 1000 taels for nothing. If I seize the opportunity to go up first, I can earn 1000 taels and go home when the time comes." Building a house and marrying a wife is so glorious."

"Bah, you idiot, didn't you listen to those bodyguards who came out of Guobei County about the martial arts of the young master of the Li family? That's first class, this guy dared to compete with the young master after eating a bear's heart and leopard. Bad luck."

"The eldest young master is stubborn, and he is afraid of that guy, and the younger one is very upset when he sees him."
