Chapter 105: Yan Baihu's downfall, Bai Shi's ambition
Yan Baihu has been feeling very upset recently.
His subordinates always disappear or die inexplicably.
Especially at night.
You can always hear shrill screams.
The situation has become more and more serious recently, and his subordinates are saying that the White Tiger Mountain God has come out to eat people, and this place is no longer suitable for human habitation.
mountain god?
Yan Baihu was disdainful. If there really were gods in the world, the ones who deserved to be killed the most would be the aristocratic families!
What does it have to do with him, a bandit and a handsome general?
As time went on, things became more and more bizarre, with even more than a dozen headless corpses appearing in one night.
At this moment, his men were completely panicked. They went to the mountains and became bandits in order to live a better life, not to die!
After that, people started disappearing not only at night but also during the day, and the number of people disappearing increased.
In less than ten days, the large mountain stronghold that originally had more than 3,000 people was reduced to less than 1,000 people.
Moreover, most of these thousand people were servants of the Yan family in Wucheng County, that is, slaves of the Yan Baihu brothers.
"This can't go on like this!"
Yan Baihu knew that he had to do something, such as finding this mountain god!
That night, Yan Baihu asked his brave younger brother, Yan Yu, to act as a "sacrifice" to lure the so-called mountain god to appear.
Yan Yu prided himself on his talent and courage, and in order to make his performance more realistic, he got drunk before leaving, staggered out of the house and found a secluded corner to relieve himself.
"rustling"
The sound of animals scraping against branches came from the forest. Yan Yu sobered up instantly but pretended not to know.
But the creature was also very cunning and stopped moving.
Yan Yu frowned, but did not take any action. He tied his belt and began to walk back unsteadily.
The creature couldn't hold back any longer and pounced towards Yan Yu.
"Well done!"
Yan Yu turned around suddenly and no longer looked drunk.
Seeing that the person coming was a man with a weapon in his hand, Yan Yu dodged the attack by leaning sideways and kicked at the moment when the two men met.
With a muffled groan, the man rolled over on the ground and struggled for a few times but failed to get up.
At this time, Yan Baihu and his men arrived slowly, and their faces were revealed in the firelight.
"Hahaha!"
Yan Baihu laughed out loud: "I told you, there is no mountain god here, it's all people who are causing trouble!"
“Tie him up for me!”
Baihu Mountain, Juyi Hall.
Yan Baihu summoned all his followers and gave everyone demonstrations and instructions.
"Where do mountain gods come from in this world? They are all people pretending to be ghosts!"
"Today I will show you whether this mountain god can bleed."
After saying that, Yan Baihu took out a knife and prepared to cut open the man's stomach.
Unexpectedly, the captured Shan Yue started cursing and laughing as he cursed, like a madman.
Yan Baihu frowned. He didn't understand what the other party was saying, but seeing the fearless expression, he felt a little worried.
"Tell me! Do you have any accomplices?"
They are talking at cross purposes.
The two of them were talking back and forth, and those who didn't know would think they were on speaking terms.
“Who knows what this guy is talking about?”
Yan Baihu had no choice but to ask for help from everyone.
One of the minions trembled and said, "Hao...Hao Shuai, let's run away!"
"He...he said that the God's soldiers are on the way, and told us to clean our necks and wait for death!"
God? Heavenly soldiers?
Yan Baihu became more and more confused as he listened, and shouted, "You bastard, you can't even speak clearly!"
"Where did the gods come from? Where did the heavenly soldiers come from?"
"Do you really believe in bullshit ghosts and gods?"
Seeing that his men were silent, Yan Baihu became anxious: "Don't believe his nonsense. Where are ghosts and gods in this world?!"
suddenly!
"Bang!" a brazier fell over.
This seemed to be a signal. One after another, the braziers overturned, and the light in the Juyi Hall gradually lost its brightness. Only Yan Baihu in the front still had light.
“Hahaha!” The tied-up Shan Yue laughed wildly: “Heavenly soldiers are coming! Heavenly soldiers are coming!”
Yan Baihu was so angry that he killed him with a knife, "Shut up!"
As if in response to Yan Baihu, there were rumbling sounds of orderly footsteps outside the hall and screams inside the hall.
"The mountain god is here!"
"Run for your life!"
The minions were already frightened out of their wits, and seeing this scene, they didn't care about anything else and shouted as they squeezed out of the hall.
"Puff puff!"
The minions who just ran out of the door were hit hard and fell down like wheat pieces under the moonlight.
Shiraishi stood behind the mixed Yamakoshi team selected from the Imperial Guards and the main camp. This time he did not participate in the fighting.
It's not that he was scared after being seriously injured, but Jin Mao repeatedly emphasized that if he dared to charge into battle again, he would be demoted to the bottom and start from a soldier.
Unless necessary, Bai Shi would command from behind. In fact, Bai Shi also knew this, especially after Dong Xi and others joined, Bai Shi felt more and more the shortcomings of his own martial arts.
In terms of martial arts, he will never be able to surpass these strong men in his life, but he can surpass them in other aspects!
Therefore, Bai Shi has been studying the art of war diligently recently, hoping that one day he will be able to surpass those monsters with extraordinary martial arts skills.
As Jinmao taught, actual combat is the only criterion for testing theory.
Bai Shi cherishes this opportunity very much.
From the very beginning when he let the Baiyue mountain people launch a surprise attack, Bai Shi had been constantly perfecting his plan.
But plans cannot keep up with changes, and today's accident made Bai Shi suddenly realize it.
"This is the perfect time for a decisive battle!"
So he did the same.
As for what the captured mountain people said, those were the beliefs that Bai Shi instilled in these people on a daily basis.
"The Lord God said, never abandon, never give up!"
"As long as one person is captured, it will be time for a general attack!"
That's why the mountain people were so brave and fearless, why the hidden mountain people took action at the same time, and why the elite Baiyue soldiers blocked the entrance.
but!
Things soon took a turn.
When the number of bandits left was less than a hundred in the chaos, the Juyi Hall was no longer in chaos. Everyone gathered around the two Yan brothers, and the hidden mountain people were also cleared out.
"Light the torch!"
In the firelight, Bai Shi was wearing fish scale armor, which was the one Jin Mao wore in his early years and was now awarded to him.
Bai Shi cherished it very much and was reluctant to wear it.
But this time, Bai Shi thinks it is time to wear it, just like the Deba suit, with Jinmao's blessing, he will surely win every battle!
"If the Lord God were to encounter this situation, what would he do?"
Bai Shi did not rush to attack, but thought.
"Crossbowmen prepare!"
The God will definitely do this, Bai Shi is very sure.
"put!"
After two more rounds of free shooting, Bai Shi led his men into the Juyi Hall to finish off the enemies one by one.
He sighed: "Everything the God said is right! Even the God's ideas are right!"
Dozens of mountain villagers died, and Bai Shi easily eliminated more than 3,000 bandits in Baihu Mountain without spending any soldiers.
"I look up to the God's divinity." Bai Shi exclaimed: "I want to learn the human side from the God, and work hard to be a useful person to the God."
It's getting light.
A huge fire suddenly broke out on Baihu Mountain.
Bai Shi gathered more than 3,000 corpses from Baihu Mountain in one place and burned them all.
"The God said that burning the bodies is the best way to prevent and treat the disease."
"You should remember the Lord's words in your heart!"
"The God is always right!"
...
The county seat of Wujun was Wu County.
Ten days had passed since Sheng Xian and his men returned to Wu County.
During this period, he fought endlessly with Xu Gong.
The story began on the first day Sheng Xian returned to Wu County.
"Xu Gong, you colluded with the great commander Yan Baihu and plotted a rebellion. Today I will eliminate you, the traitor, for the sake of the country!"
Outside the Wujun Duwei Mansion.
Sheng Xian, with more than 700 remaining soldiers, had just returned to Wu County and was ready to capture and kill Xu Gong. In his opinion, this was the best time.
However, Sheng Xian never expected that the two thousand soldiers outside were only part of Xu Gong's strength, and the private soldiers in the Duwei Mansion were the foundation of Xu Gong's existence.
"whoosh whoosh"
A volley of crossbow arrows almost took Sheng Xian away, but fortunately Gao Dai's quick eyes and hands saved his life.
"Sheng Taishou, Jin Mao is our common enemy, why do we need to fight among ourselves?"
Xu Gong shouted from inside the wall of the Duwei Mansion: "Your son was killed by Jin Mao. Can you let go of the hatred for your son's murder?"
Speaking of Sheng Kuang's death, Sheng Xian was furious, because he was his only son!
It is not a good time to attack now. In this round of volleys alone, Sheng Xian's men suffered nearly a hundred casualties. If they force their way in, it would be fine if they can win, but if they lose, they will suffer a huge loss.
"Captain Xu is right!" Sheng Xian shouted, "Please come out and speak."
"I am not feeling well today, please go back, Governor Sheng." Xu Gong flatly refused. What a joke.
Sheng Xian had no choice but to leave in shame.
Next, Xu Gong and Sheng Xian began to fight over the ownership of military power, and neither was willing to give up.
When Sheng Xian was defeated and lost his military power, he changed his face again.
"I heard that Commander Xu is from Nanyang. I wonder what his relationship is with the Nanyang Xu family?"
"Humph!"
Xu Gong snorted coldly without answering. He had long known how quickly these celebrities could change their expressions, but he was still unhappy.
Sheng Xian didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "I have a plan. We can remove the firewood from under the cauldron and kill Jin Mao without him even noticing."
"Now I am alone and powerless. I can't do anything."
Xu Gong then became interested and asked, "Tell me about it, maybe I can help?"
