Fu Tang

There were bandits blocking the way before, and the enemy chased after him. Li Congjia felt that his luck had been terrible since the crossing.

Li Congjia glanced back and could faintly see the dust brought up by the pursuers behind him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Catch them all! Find out where their stronghold is!"

Everyone present was stunned, Shi Xueting had been with Li Congjia for a long time, and he understood his thoughts in an instant, got off his horse and knocked those people down without saying a word, and dragged them into the forest.

Li Congjia dismounted and said, "Let's go."

A group of monks went into the woods out of nowhere, and at this time Shi Xueting didn't know what method he used, and those robbers were crying and reporting their location.

"Follow them, let's hide." Li Congjia's idea was to hide in the bandit village. After all, there must be a reason for these bandits to survive for so long in troubled times.

Those few people's legs were weak, and the one who was clamoring for money, food, and the little lady just now knelt on the ground and said with snot and tears: "It's because we have eyes that don't know Mount Tai. I beg you, masters, to let the holy monk off." Let's do it."

Li Congjia had a cold face: "You can live if you lead the way. If you don't lead the way, everyone in the village will die. Do you really think we can't find your hiding place?"

Those few people were almost scared to pee. They looked up at Li Congjia, and guessed that such a good-looking person would not deceive them. The most important thing is that even if they really deceived them, they had no second choice.

The leader said tremblingly, "The horse...the horse can't get in."

Li Congjia was very tired at once, why does it take so much effort to ride a horse when other people have all kinds of transportation to escape?

Shi Yanlie said in a low voice: "Benefactor, the bandit village must be in the dense forest, and the horses may be difficult to reach, not to mention...these horses are all Zhou army's army horses, and they were given up in order to prevent the Zhou army from tracking them. good."

Li Congjia heard the same reasoning. Anyway, as long as they escaped for a while, they turned around and entered the Southern Tang territory. When the time comes, someone will send a letter, and someone will always come to pick him up.

After everyone released the horses, they followed the bandits who were about to die of fright and walked all the way into the mountains.

Li Congjia looked at a tall and burly monk beside him, and he felt quite safe in his heart. There are benefits from having a large number of people. If he and Shi Xueting were the only ones taking Yang Xin out, he would not dare to do it.

Just when he was standing at the gate of the bandit village, he felt a little regretful.

This bandit village...it's not so much a bandit village as it is a small mountain village hidden in the valley!

The people who live here, whether they are adults or children, are all pale and emaciated, and their clothes are dilapidated. Women can barely cover their bodies, and men generally only wear a pair of trousers. As for children... basically those under the age of ten are naked Run around.

And the biggest problem is that among those children, there are not many girls!

There are not many people in the village, there are about a hundred people at full count, and Li Congjia led a dozen monks to directly control the audience!

Fearing that these demons would be dissatisfied, the village owner directly gave up all the houses in the village, but even if they gave up all the houses, it would not be enough for a dozen of them to live in, because many poor people in the village lived in caves!

Before, Li Congjia thought that Yunniang was already poor, but he didn't expect that there were even poorer ones!

This very poor village even gave itself a very imposing name - Wagang Village.

When Li Congjia knew the name, he almost burst out laughing. The Wagang village was named after the place name. They are thousands of miles away from Wagang, so why did they come up with such a name?

In fact, it is not easy for the illiterate people in the village to come up with such a name.

Although the name is imposing, the environment of this village is not generally bad. Fortunately, Li Congjia and the others just want to settle here temporarily, and it doesn't matter if the environment is poor.

After Li Congjia and the others settled down, the first thing to do was to collect information to see if Zhou Jun was really fooled by them.

The location they are in is not far from Taizhou. If they really want to know the situation, they need to send two groups of people. One group will go to Taizhou to buy some daily necessities, while the other group will go to Guangling to check the situation.

It's just that the idea is good, but the specific arrangement is not easy. First of all, most of them are monks, and the remaining three who are not monks are all weak chickens!

In such troubled times, a weak chicken means that if you are not careful, you may die.

The monks refused to let Li Congjia take the risk, and Shi Xueting and Li Congjia were also reluctant to let Yang Xin take the risk. The monks should go the most, but they are too conspicuous. Zhou Jun is afraid that if he sees the monk now, he will catch him In the first trial, no matter how high the force value is, it will not be so easy for these monks to go out and come back.

Especially after they settled down, Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie took the only ax in the village to help the disciples shave their heads.

Monk Mao Lizi turned into a real bald monk, and Li Congjia couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.

In the end, Li Congjia decided to think of a way, isn't it dangerous to have no hair?Then I'll get you wigs. Anyway, there are so many people in this village, it's not easy to get some hair?

However, Li Congjia's thinking was too simple. When the people in the village heard that their hair was going to be cut, they all cried out for their fathers and mothers, just like the end of the world. In the end, it was Li Congjia's strong suppression that barely managed to get enough hair for two wigs. .

Of course, none of them know how to make wigs, but luckily there is a head to cover it up. It took a lot of effort for the group to make Shi Yanlie and Shi Xuehe look like normal people.

It's just the two of them can't do it, but there are people leading the team, Li Congjia boldly let them take the people from the cottage, anyway, paying the wages, the village almost fought for the quota!

It was Shi Xuehe who left first, he was going to explore Guangling's current situation first, and then Li Congjia and the others could decide what to do.

Shi Xuehe went and came back quickly, but the news he brought back couldn't make people happy.

Zhao Kuangyin began to massacre the city!

After hearing this, Li Congjia immediately thought of the situation outside Guangling City, and his eyes turned red with hatred.

After taking a deep breath, Li Congjia said, "Master Yanlie, I'll write down what I need, and you can buy it."

Without pen and ink, Li Congjia asked someone to get charcoal directly. After seeing what Li Congjia wrote, Shi Yanlie frowned immediately: "Why do you need to buy so much food? Saltpeter? Charcoal? What do you want these for?"

Li Congjia said calmly: "Make explosives!"

Black gunpowder had already been invented in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not used in military affairs because it was too dangerous. Li Congjia is not afraid of being regarded as a monster when he speaks out now.

Shi Xueting couldn't help asking, "What do you want explosives for?"

Li Congjia grinned and said, "I'm going to turn into a bandit! If I can't kill Zhao Kuangyin, I won't go back!"
