Thief Emperor

Chapter 119 Bai Qi's End

"Everyone, this is Tianmu Mountain."

A middle-aged man who was not very tall and was only in his thirties, looked at the big men behind him and said with a smile: "There are a total of sixty-three people on Tianmu Mountain, including Bai, and there are also thirty or forty women and children. We can leave together tomorrow to join the Heavenly King."

Behind the middle-aged man was a tall man. He looked at the middle-aged man and said calmly, "Master Bai, the superiors said that since you have brought people to serve, you will lead a battalion in the future. Now that the king is leading people to attack Qiantang County, you can take this opportunity to recruit more soldiers."

"With this one hundred men as your foundation, you can recruit another three or four hundred men, and gather five hundred men. Then you will be a captain under the king. When the king conquers a few more states and counties, you, the Lord of Bai Village, will be a general."

"When the king achieves great things in the future, you, General Bai, will be a founding hero and bring glory to the country for generations to come."

The middle-aged man called Bai Zhaizhu is naturally Bai Qi, the leader of Tianmu Village.

Bai Qi is not a strong man, but rather thin. With his physique, it's not that he can't survive in the bandit industry, but it's certainly difficult for him to become a village leader.

People like Li Yun, who are the best fighters in the village, can usually secure the position of village leader.

The reason why Bai Qi has been able to secure his position as the leader of the Tianmu Mountain stronghold over the years is entirely due to his ruthlessness.

However, even so, there were still some bandits in Tianmu Mountain who were not convinced by him, so for the sake of safety, Bai Qi first took people nearby to collect some young girls, and personally took them to Yuezhou to present them to the King of Yue.

Although the King of Yue did not accept the ten girls personally, his brother-in-law He Gang accepted them "on his behalf". Not long after, he accepted Bai Qi's surrender and sent people to follow Bai Qi back to Tianmu Mountain to accept the bandits in Tianmu Mountain.

Hearing the big man's words, a smile appeared on Bai Qi's face.

He has been in Tianmu Mountain for nearly twenty years and has been the village chief for seven or eight years. During these seven or eight years, he has been thinking of a way out for himself.

After all, living in the mountains as a bandit for your whole life is not a good idea.

It was not until Qiu Dian started to rebel that he immediately became interested and sent several confidants to Yuezhou to inquire about the situation. It was not until he heard that the King of Yue was recruiting bandits that he made up his mind to take his "family business" and join the King of Yue.

This is a big gamble!
If you win the bet, you may not become a noble for generations, but at least you will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life.

If he lost the bet, he would naturally end up dead, but Bai Qi thought he was smart and felt that he could escape. The worst that could happen was that he would become a bandit again.

He can afford to lose!

Thinking of this, Bai Qi led twenty or so Yuezhou soldiers and walked up the mountain along the mountain path. When they reached halfway up the mountain, he suddenly blew a whistle.

The man behind him immediately frowned and shouted, "What are you doing!"

This is because they are afraid that Bai Qi will set an ambush for them.

The Bai village chief quickly turned around and said, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. There are people from the Tianmu Mountain village guarding the mountain road. I blew the whistle to call them out."

At this point, he looked up at the mountain path and frowned slightly: "This is really strange, why is there no one here?"

"Don't play tricks."

The man took a deep breath and patted Bai Qi on the shoulder: "Continue to climb the mountain."

Bai Qi responded immediately and said with a smile, "Brothers, I went down the mountain some time ago and invited many virgin girls to come up the mountain. Although I brought ten with me to Yuezhou this time, there are still many left. When you get to the mountain, you brothers may stay for a few days first. I will treat you well."

The soldiers smiled when they heard this. The big man in the lead said with a smile, "How can the girl that Bai Village Master left in the village be clean after so many days? We are not lucky enough to enjoy her."

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Bai didn't say anything. Most people in the village didn't dare to touch them."

As they were talking, they could already vaguely see the Tianmu Mountain stronghold. Bai Qi felt something was wrong. When he got closer, he said in a deep voice, "Brothers, I must blow the whistle to confirm whether the stronghold is safe, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

The big man hesitated for a moment, thinking of the fact that the man in front of him had offered ten girls to Master He, and it was not easy to offend Bai Qi, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Bai Qi took a few steps forward and blew the whistle again. After waiting for a while, the gate of Tianmu Mountain Stronghold was indeed wide open. Not long after, a man with two followers walked out of the gate to welcome the Bai stronghold leader back to the stronghold.

When the man came closer, he saluted with his fists clasped.

"Seventh Master is back!"

Bai Qi took a look at the man, then frowned slightly: "Old Four, why are you bruised and swollen, and you walk with a limp, what happened?"

The man called Lao Si looked flustered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Seventh Master, since you are not in the village, the village will naturally be a little chaotic. I had a fight with Lao Ba and got hurt."

"Since you were injured, why didn't you stay in the village and lie down, but came out to greet me?"

The fourth leader of Tianmu Mountain smiled and said, "Seventh Master, what you said is true. As long as I am not paralyzed, I will come to greet you, Seventh Master."

At this point, he looked at the dozen or twenty big men behind Bai Qi and said with a smile: "Master Qi, are these the heroes under the command of the Heavenly King?"

"Be careful what you say."

Bai Qi frowned and said, "The Heavenly King has already ascended the throne of the King of Yue. He is now the King of our Baiyue Land. You should address him respectfully as the Great King."

The fourth brother clasped his fists and saluted to the people from Yuezhou: "I have heard a lot about you. I have heard a lot about you."

He forced a smile on his face.

"Seventh Master, we are already at the doorstep. If you have anything to say, let's go back to the village and talk about it."

Bai Qi responded first, then looked at the two followers behind the Fourth Master and frowned again. "Something's wrong, something's wrong."

He said in a deep voice: "Who are these two unfamiliar faces? I have never seen them before!"

After saying this, he subconsciously retreated, saying as he retreated: "Something must have happened in the village!"

"Something happened."

A tall follower following behind the Fourth Master strode forward and smiled grimly: "And you, will soon be in trouble!"

He strode towards Bai Qi. Although he had no weapon, his aura was unparalleled, which frightened the leader of Bai Village so much that he retreated repeatedly.

It is Li Yun, the leader of the Li village!

Another "follower" Zhang Hu also let out a strange cry and rushed towards Bai Qi!

The leader of the Bai Village hid behind the Yuezhou soldiers without thinking. Li Yun kept walking and suddenly pushed away a Yuezhou soldier, snatched the long sword from his hand, and then without hesitation, slashed another Yuezhou soldier next to his fellow villager with a sword!

This sudden change made it impossible for the Yuezhou soldiers, who already lacked actual combat experience, to react. By the time they reacted, Li Yun had already knocked down one person and injured another!

Zhang Hu pounced at Bai Qi like a tiger descending from a mountain. Bai Qi drew his sword and slashed at Zhang Hu, but Zhang Hu dodged sideways. At this time, Li Yun also rushed up and kicked Bai Qi in the back without hesitation, knocking the leader of Tianmu Village unconscious!
At the same time, dozens of people rushed out from the Tianmu Mountain stronghold like a tide.

Li Yun did not wait for reinforcements and did not retreat at all. He went forward to meet the dozen or so Yuezhou soldiers!

He also wanted to test the strength of these Yuezhou soldiers!
At this time, Li Yun had been suppressing bandits for more than half a year. Not counting the bandits who died indirectly at his hands, there were probably nearly a hundred bandits who died directly at his hands. He was full of murderous aura, and it was really unbearable when he started to fight.

By the time reinforcements from Tianmu Mountain Stronghold arrived, Li Yun and Zhang Hu had already defeated half of the Yuezhou soldiers. Li Zheng led dozens of people and rushed forward, tied up all of them, and brought them back to Tianmu Mountain Stronghold.

Li Yun hooked Bai Qi up with his feet, bent down, lifted him up, carried him on his shoulders, and entered the Tianmu Mountain Stronghold, which immediately closed its gates.

……

An hour later, Li Yun sat on the tiger-skin chair, looking at the leader of the Tianmu Mountain stronghold who was slowly waking up in front of him.

"Seventh Master, right?"

Bai Qi opened his eyes and immediately saw Li Yun. He opened his mouth and stammered, "May I ask... may I ask which immortal you are?"

"I am your ancestor."

Mr. Li stood up, sneered, and slapped Bai Qi in the face.

His hand was so strong that two of Bai Qi's teeth were knocked out immediately.

"You are a bandit sitting in your den, and you are pulling the grass near your den like this. You are not even worthy of being a bandit, you bastard!"

After cursing, Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now you know who I am, right?"

"Ancestors... Ancestors..."

Bai Qi's eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them. He tried to open his eyes and looked at Li Yun, hesitating and saying, "Excuse me...which village are your ancestors from? There are some villages that I...I really haven't been to!"

"Have you been to Xia'ao Village?"

Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly: "I...I didn't go, I didn't go!"

There are really bandits who are not afraid of death and tie their heads to their belts.

But there are also many people who are afraid of death, especially those with a violent temperament like Bai Qi, who may sometimes be even more afraid of death.

In other words, he was more afraid of being tortured by his opponents.

Because he himself often tortures others, he knows better than anyone how painful it is.

Seeing him like this, Li Yun couldn't help sneering.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll have someone take you to Xia'ao Village and tie you to a big tree at the entrance of the village. If no one comes to seek revenge on you within a day, I'll let you go!"

"If anyone seeks revenge on you, tie them to that tree until they die!"

Bai Qi's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Li Yun stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach. He ignored his wailing in pain and left the room. He walked outside and looked at Li Zheng outside and asked, "Have those people from Yuezhou spoken yet?"

"Speaking."

Li Zheng replied.

Li Yun nodded slowly.

"Okay, I'll go ask them!"

　There is still one chapter before twelve o'clock. I will go back to my hometown in a few days and resume updating as normal!
