Thief Emperor

Chapter 67: Not just Green Forest!

It was impossible for twenty or so yamen runners to stop all the fifty fleeing bandits. After all, they could not risk their lives to fight with these fifty people.

However, more than twenty yamen runners holding swords were enough to make these fleeing bandits panic!
In addition, they were in a panic and could not tell how many yamen runners there were. These bandits almost immediately turned around and rushed in another direction.

At this time, Li Yun, holding a gun, had rushed out. In just a few minutes, he stabbed several people.

Seeing this, more than a dozen bandits dropped their weapons in fear and knelt on the ground to surrender.

The remaining thirty or so people surrounded Boss Tong, whose arm was scratched by Li Yun, and fled!
When Li Yun saw the yamen runners arrive and captured a bandit, he immediately turned and went into a private house, took off his armor and mask, changed into a white robe, and walked to the village entrance.

Chen Da and others then saw Li Yun and quickly surrounded him.

"Dutou!"

Li Dadu, who was barely catching his breath, asked, "How many brothers were injured?"

"Four, but none of them are from our anti-theft team."

Chen Da replied, "One of them is seriously injured. I have sent someone to find a doctor to treat him."

Li Yun nodded and said in a deep voice.

"These bandits are too arrogant. They are fighting in our Qingyang territory. Brothers, take those who should be arrested to the county government office and wait for the county magistrate to deal with them!"

Chen Da looked at Li Yun thoughtfully, especially after seeing the blood on the ends of Li Yun's hair, he was stunned for a moment, then looked around and said, "Captain, what should we do with these bodies?"

"Most of these are the bodies of the two gangs of bandits. When the villagers here come back, they will be buried on the spot. There is no need to ask about it. You should take these surrendered bandits back to the county jail."

Chen Da looked back and saw that there were about twenty bandits kneeling on the ground to surrender. He nodded and clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command."

"Boss, will you go back to the county government with us?"

Li Yun shook his head: "I still need to find out some information here, you go back first, I will return to the county in a few days."

Chen Da turned around one last time and took a look at Lijia Village. He had already noticed something was wrong, but he was sensible enough not to ask any more questions. Instead, he took a group of yamen runners and went to do his work according to Li Yun's instructions.

After all, as of now, the money given to him by the anti-theft team is much more than the money given to him by the government before. What's more, Li Yun is very good at winning the support of the people. At this moment, Chen Da's heart has already been with Li Yun.

As for who these people are, what happened in Lijia Village, and why the captain is fighting with others here... none of it matters anymore.

As it got dark, the yamen runners took away the bandits from Shiwangzhai. Chief Li sat down under a big tree at the entrance of the village, feeling his head swollen.

He is human after all, and has limits.

The fight lasted for almost an hour with high mental concentration. Now his body could still hold on but his mind was almost exhausted.

"Skinny monkey!"

After a long while, Li Yun finally called out. Li Zheng, who joined the battle very late, hurried over and squatted beside Li Yun: "Second brother, I'm here."

Li Yun closed his eyes and said slowly: "Let Uncle Wu prepare medicine immediately to treat the injured brothers."

Every village has a local doctor as standard, and Cangshan Village is no exception.

Fortunately, some time ago, the leader Li was outside and he and his brothers robbed a lot of medicinal herbs, so there are enough medicinal herbs on the mountain now.

Li Zheng responded and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother. Old Nine is very careful and has asked Uncle Five to prepare in advance."

Li Yun rubbed his temple and continued, "How many casualties have there been among our brothers in the village? What about those farmhands?"

Li Zheng looked around, looking somewhat embarrassed. After a while, he said, "Second brother, I'm afraid there are more than ten injured and several dead. It's hard to say now."

Human vitality is still very strong. Unless someone hurts a vital part, it is generally not easy for someone to die immediately.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and continued, "Hu Zi was stabbed on the back, but the wound was not deep."

Li Yun nodded silently and slowly stood up.

"I'm a little sleepy."

Li Zheng said quickly: "Second brother, I will find a place for you to sleep first. The aftermath will be handled by me, Lao Jiu, and the third and fifth uncles."

Li Yun said "hmm" and was supported by Li Zheng. He did not go up the mountain, but found a house in the village. Li Yun washed his face, took off his clothes, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

He didn't have any serious injuries, only two red marks on his chest left by two hidden arrows. After a good night's sleep, he felt full of energy again, but he felt extremely hungry.

There was someone guarding his door. After hearing the noise inside, the middle-aged man at the door immediately opened the door and walked in, saying happily, "Village leader, you're awake!"

Li Yun looked at the middle-aged man with thinning hair in front of him and smiled dumbly: "Bald, why are you here?"

This is the bald man who has a very good relationship with Li Yun, and was also a follower of the former leader Li. However, since Li Yun "awoke" from the last bride-robbery incident, he has been interacting more with young backbones such as Liu Bo and Li Zheng, and has become more distant from the bald man.

"The skinny guy asked me to come and watch over you." Li Yun stood up, stretched his muscles, and said, "I'm fine."

After saying that, he put on his coat, opened the door and walked out. In the small courtyard, there was an old man waiting for Li Yun.

He is the village chief of Lijia Village.

Seeing Li Yun coming out, the old village chief stood up, looked Li Yun up and down, and smiled: "Young man, are you okay?"

Li Yun shook his head slightly: "Father-in-law, I'm fine."

"Have all the people in the village returned?"

"I came back early this morning."

He looked at Li Yun, then at the bald man next to Li Yun. Village leader Li understood and gave the bald man a look. The bald man looked at the old village chief and walked out of the yard.

The old village chief pulled Li Yun to sit down, and then said: "We in Lijia Village have to thank you very much. If you hadn't sent someone to remind us, we don't know how many people would be left alive in the village after yesterday night."

Li Yun smiled and said, "Our fight among the outlaws will naturally not involve the village."

The old man looked at Li Yun and continued, "From now on, if Cangshan Dazhai wants to recruit people from the village, I won't ask."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

"You and your father are both from Lijia Village."

Li Yun looked at the old man's back and slowly clenched his fist.

If some "newcomers" can be recruited in Lijia Village, then this village at the foot of the mountain will become a natural fortress of Cangshan Dazhai.

He stood up and walked out of the yard.

A lot of bloodstains can be seen in the village.

But most of it has been cleaned.

Mr. Li took a step and walked towards the Cangshan village.

He knew in his heart that after the battle last night, Cangshan Dazhai would immediately become famous in the green forest, at least in the whole Xuanzhou green forest!
And he, Li Yun, will naturally... become famous in Xuanzhou again.

Of course, the last person who became famous in Xuanzhou was the headman Li Zhao.

...............

The main hall of Cangshan Dazhai.

Li Yun sat in the main seat, and Li Zheng and Liu Bo sat on his left and right.

Liu Bo lowered his head and said, "Second brother, six brothers are gone."

"More than twenty people were injured, but most of them were not serious."

"And this time, the Ten Kings Camp lost at least fifty people in Cangshan, and they were also captured by the government."

Liu Bo said in a deep voice: "At most half of the elite soldiers in the Ten Kings Camp are left."

Li Yun smiled. "Their eldest and third brothers brought most of the people down the mountain, and only more than 20 of them returned. Even the third brother died outside. It's hard to say whether they can still hold the position of the village leader after they return."

"Lao Jiu."

Liu Bo nodded quickly: "Second brother, you say."

"They were tricked by us once, so they will probably ambush us again. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the mountain before the New Year. As long as we are still on the mountain, they will not dare to come again."

"And before the New Year."

Li Dadu looked at Liu Bo with a calm voice.

"I'll take you to the Ten Kings Village."

Now, it is almost November and it is not long until the Chinese New Year.

The Ten Kings Village is in chaos right now, so Li Yun naturally won't give them too much time to adjust.

Liu Bo was humiliated in the Ten Kings Village two months ago. Hearing this, he became excited and slammed the table hard.

"Second brother, once we destroy the Ten Kings Camp and occupy Lingyang Mountain and Qingyang Green Forest, we will have the final say!"

Li Dutou disagreed, lowered his head, drank a sip of tea, and corrected.

“Not just Greenwood.”
