Chapter 418

["Facing well-trained adult men with spears and swords, wearing armor, and well-trained men, it is not wise to attack head-on. You must learn to look for opportunities and defeat the enemy with one blow." This is what the old thief taught you Tips]

[You are not unfamiliar with short and powerful weapons such as daggers. After all, when you were engaged in the thieves industry, you often used daggers to cut into other people's wallets, so learning is also more effective]

[14 years old: Under the guidance of the old thief, you finally completed your first successful robbery. You set traps on the business road between Mond and Liyue, and then rushed forward. When you put the dagger on the mercenary group When you have a long neck, you have a sense of accomplishment that you have never had before]

[Even if you become a bandit, you still stick to the previous principles, only seek money, not kill. After all, it’s okay if it’s just a robbery, but if someone dies, Liyue and Meng will naturally not sit idly by]

[15 years old: Maybe it's because you are so worried about being expelled from Liyue Port. You have never shown mercy to the caravans in Liyue Port. Although you don't hurt anyone, you have a ruthless style of conduct, especially when you are fighting, and you are often beaten all over your body, so for a while, the name of "the murderer Li Yunlong" spread like wildfire]

[However, your hatred is only for Liyue Port, and for the surrounding villages, you don't disturb each other. Occasionally, you will conduct some trade and material exchanges with the villagers]

Chapter 1046 The Surviving Girl

[At the beginning, those villagers were quite jealous and afraid of bandits, but after seeing that you didn't have any malicious intentions, they gradually let go of their guard. What's more, the things you sell are much cheaper than the merchants 】

[The bandit group you're in is getting more and more famous, especially your leader, Yan'er, who has become the leader of the Southern Thieves' Treasure Group, and is called "Sister Nan". I am more used to calling her "big sister", only you dare to call her sister Yan'er]

[As for you, because your "business ability" is becoming more and more proficient, you have been recognized by the bandits, and even have a team of your own, and you have also given your team a resounding code name-Independence group】

[You are obviously a bandit, but you named it as a regular army. This is naturally a provocation to Liyuegang. In fact, Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and you have indeed been valued by Liyue and Mond. You have sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but you can successfully defend against the enemy and escape every time ([Glory of the Independent Regiment] talent effect activates)]

[16 years old: On the other hand, the death of the emperor also caused many butterfly effects. First, many immortals were discouraged by the death of the emperor, or flew far away, or lived in seclusion in the mountains, leaving clouds disappointed in humans Borrowing Feng Zhenjun, he even took away the seven-star envoy Gan Yu who has served Liyue Port for thousands of years]

[Yuehai Pavilion's power was weakened by Gan Yu's departure, coupled with the departure of God Lord, the power of Liyue Seven Stars reached its peak]

[On the other hand, the loss of the blessings of gods and immortals has also made Liyue Port's strength not as good as before, which also made some unstable factors start to move around]

[The first ones who couldn’t hold back were the thieves from Daozuma, because Daozuma were generally short in stature, these criminal groups composed of warriors and pirates were also called "Japanese pirates"]

[Different from your bandits, these Japanese pirates are cruel and easy to kill, without principle, whether they attack caravans or villages, they are often killed]

[Your independent regiment has also confronted Japanese pirates several times. Although they have gained an advantage, the bandit regiment has limited troops after all, and these Japanese pirates can continuously replenish their troops from Inazuma's home country, and their members are generally trained A well-known sea turbulent ghost, so it is very difficult to deal with]

[Although Liyue Port also sent the Qianyan Army to defend against the Japanese pirates, they had little effect. Their understanding of the Japanese pirates is sometimes not even as good as you bandits]

[17 years old: Perhaps because of the loss of the emperor’s blessing, this year’s Liyue ushered in a drought that hadn’t been seen in a long time. Many places had no crops. Not only did food prices soar, many villages even fell into the embarrassment of famine 】

[To make matters worse, the attacks of Japanese pirates did not stop because of this, but became more rampant. One day, as usual, when you wanted to go to a village at the junction of Mond and Liyue to exchange some food, you were surprised to find that This place has turned into ruins, and there are traces of murder and arson everywhere, which can be seen as the means of Japanese pirates]

【Entering the somatosensory mode】

After all, the written description was a little weak, and Li Xingshan was more or less shocked when he saw the tragic reality.

The originally thriving village has now turned into a dead zone, with horrific corpses everywhere. Most of the male corpses are mutilated, and they obviously suffered a lot of torture before dying. As for the female corpses, they are even more unbearable. head.

"This group of pirates is too cruel."

Li Ding swallowed and murmured, "Boss, what shall we do next?"

"Tianniang's little devil..." Li Xingshan clenched his lips and said in a bitter voice, "Everyone listen to the order and go search to see if there are any survivors and other supplies."

The invasion of Japanese pirates is like the entry of locusts. Whether it is living or supplies, it is basically difficult to keep them, but everyone still obeys orders, and the rest of them dig pits and build graves under your orders, preparing to bury these corpses.

"After the counting, there are 67 households in the village, with a total of 212 people... none of them survived." Soon, Li Dang brought the news.

"Wait..." At this moment, the old thief's ears moved slightly, he looked at a remote house not far away, and said: "In that house, there seems to be a movement."

That's right, Li Xingshan's "master" has also joined his team. Although his combat skills are not bad, he is too old, basically unable to fight, and can only do some logistics work. Of course, his rich experience is what Li Xingshan values ​​more.

Li Xingshan squinted his eyes and walked towards the house. Before he got close, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Pushing open the door, two corpses came into view. Among them, the corpse of a middle-aged woman was stripped of her clothes and her body was covered with scars. It was obvious that she had been abused during her lifetime.

The room is not too big, basically there is no place to hide people, even if there is, it will definitely be searched by the Japanese pirates.

But Li Xingshan is considered an "old Jianghu" after all. Soon, he found a floor, which seemed a bit unnatural. He gently pried it with his fingers, and as expected, he opened a secret door.

This is a secret door in a cellar, and the villagers often use it to store food and vegetables, but this kind of cellar is generally narrow and cannot hide people at all...or, in other words, cannot hide adults.

The moment he opened the secret door, Li Xingshan suddenly felt a killing intent, and saw a slender figure rushing out from the cellar, holding a dagger, and stabbing directly at Li Xingshan's chest .

Although the move was very sudden, the speed was still a bit slow. Facing Li Xingshan, who had rich combat experience, it was naturally impossible to succeed. With a light stroke of his hand, he directly grabbed the man's wrist.

Only then did Li Xingshan see the appearance of that person clearly. It was a girl with purple-red long hair who seemed to be three or four years younger than himself. It looks like he hasn't rested for a long time.

"Young people don't talk about martial arts." Li Xingshan squinted his eyes and said, "Are you here to attack me?"

"You...you scoundrels!" The girl seemed to have lost her mind, and kept struggling, "I will kill you and avenge my parents!"

"Be sober!" Li Xingshan yelled, "It's not us who killed them, but those Japanese pirates!"

This loud shout seemed to wake the girl up, so Li Xingshan softened his tone and said, "Don't be afraid, you're fine, tell me, what's your name?"

Chapter 1047 He is my master

Maybe it was because she knew that she had escaped death, or maybe she was in pain because of the death of her parents. After all, the girl couldn't hold back and cried loudly.

"My... my name is... Rosalia..."

"Is that Rosalia?" Li Xingshan stretched out his hand, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "You should know me, I'm the leader of the bandit group nearby, and although I'm not a good person, I won't kill you indiscriminately." innocent."

Rosalia finally calmed down a bit, sobbing, nodded and said: "I...I remember you, you came to the village...to exchange food."

"I will find a way to send you to a safe place," Li Xingshan asked, "Do you want to go to Mengde or Liyue?"

This is the village at the junction of Mond and Liyue. Although it is closer to Liyue, the girl's name and appearance are closer to those of Mond. The West Wind Church should take in this homeless orphan.

Unexpectedly, Rosalia bit her lips tightly and said, "I don't want to go anywhere, I...I want revenge."

"Don't worry, I will unscrew the heads of those guys for you," Li Xingshan said seriously, "As for a little girl like you, let's forget these painful memories and start a new life... "

"How...how could it be possible to forget!" Rosalia covered her head, her delicate face, but at this moment her expression was a bit ferocious: "I was in the cellar and saw the group of guys. Face, I...I want to kill them with my own hands! Let me join the bandit group, as long as I can kill the enemy with my own hands, no matter what price I have to pay, even if...it's me Own."

Li Xingshan looked at her shriveled body due to famine, and said helplessly, "I'm not interested in a brat like you..."

When Rosalia heard this, she lowered her head in disappointment. Obviously, she also knew that it was impossible for the Bandit Group to take in a girl for no reason.

"However, if you can cook, wash dishes, boil water and chop firewood, I don't mind taking you in." Li Xingshan stretched out a hand towards Rosalia, and said, "Your dagger is good, you can show it to me." see?"

Rosalia nodded quickly, handed over the dagger, and said, "This is... a birthday present from my father."

To be honest, it was just a very ordinary dagger, and the workmanship was a little rough. After all, it was not a wealthy family, so naturally it couldn't afford any expensive gifts.

"Since it is my father's relic, it is better not to stain it with blood." Li Xingshan took out his own dagger from his waist, handed it to Rosalia, and said, "This is my old buddy, I will teach you How to use it, but let me tell you in advance, being a bandit is very hard, have you... made up your mind?"

Rosalia clenched the dagger that Li Xingshan handed her, gritted her teeth suddenly, stretched the sharp dagger to the back of her head, and swiped it hard, the beautiful long purple hair was instantly cut off and scattered And down.

"This... is my determination!" Rosalia said with firm eyes, "That weak girl was already killed by me."

Li Xingshan knew in his heart that what she cut off was not only her long hair, but also the connection with her former self.

"Let's go, I'll get you something to eat first." Li Xingshan held Rosalia's hand and said, "Then, let's bury your parents together."

Rosalia nodded, but at this moment, there was a sound of gold and iron from outside the door. Li Xingshan was startled and rushed out.

He thought it was the group of Japanese pirates making a comeback, but when he went out, he saw that his subordinates were fighting with a group of soldiers from the Qianyan Army.

"Stop it all!"

Li Xingshan broke into the formation of the two armies, shouted loudly, and the bandit subordinates stopped immediately, and the Qianyan army, although they were also taken aback, were still fully equipped and did not seem to intend to stop.

"It's you?"

A slightly familiar voice suddenly broke into Li Xingshan's ears, and as the Qianyan army separated, a purple-haired woman walked out. She looked at Li Xingshan with a complicated expression and said, "Li Yunlong, you little Thief, is he still alive?"

There are only two people who can call Li Xingshan a "little thief", one is Sister Yan'er, and the other is naturally Ke Qing.

When the two of them met last time, they were both children under ten years old, but now, their appearances have changed.

The young lady who was domineering and domineering at the beginning has now become slim and graceful. But that handsome little boy has turned into a bearded, slightly vulgar bandit.

Even so, the two recognized each other immediately.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Keqing whose shoes were stolen by me back then?" Li Xingshan said with a smile, "Why, have you become an officer now? Could it be because of the family entrustment?" Bar?"

"Nonsense!" Ke Qing frowned, and said: "I was able to get to this point because of my own hard work, and never relied on the help of my family, you evil thief who burned, killed, and looted, why talk about me? "

"Looting, I admit it, but we have never done burning and killing," Li Xingshan said with a sneer, "If we really killed these villagers, why should we waste our time helping them burrow to safety? "

Hearing what Li Xingshan said, Ke Qing felt inexplicably relieved. Although she knew that Li Xingshan was not a kind person, it was absolutely impossible for her to be so bad, but the adjutant beside her questioned: "Maybe This is just for you to deceive others, how could you bandits be so kind?"

"Hmph..." Li Xingshan said impatiently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, isn't there a lot of scapegoats we have borne? If you can't catch those Japanese pirates, you can only look for our bad luck. Hit, are you scared?"

Li Xingshan's subordinates are all militants who are not afraid of causing trouble. They couldn't swallow this breath at first, but they don't mind. They will fight to the death with the Qianyan Army.

However, at this moment of tension, a slender girl got out of the crowd, stood in front of Li Xingshan, and said loudly: "It's not them who slaughtered the village, but the group of Japanese pirates. If you get rid of those villains earlier If it is wiped out, our village, how can it be..."

The girl is naturally Rosalia, no matter how she looks at it, she doesn't look like a member of the bandit group, Ke Qing and the Qianyan army heard the words, but they were all silent for a while, after a long while, Ke Qing asked: " What is your relationship with this man...?"

Rosalia glanced at Li Xingshan, and resolutely said: "From today on, he...is my master."

Chapter 1048 Liyue Crisis

As soon as this statement came out, everyone, including Li Xingshan, fell into silence.

Indeed, for a rural girl, it is true that she cannot be too harsh. Maybe she simply thinks that going to work in a bandit group to avenge her parents is equivalent to signing a contract of prostitution. As a small leader, Li Xingshan naturally It is her "master".

"Li Yunlong, you bastard..." On Ke Qing's forehead, an angry symbol with the word # appeared, gnashing her teeth: "It's been so many years, and you really don't change your mind!"

"Hey, listen to my explanation!" Li Xingshan couldn't laugh or cry: "I never let her call me master!"

"I won't listen to your explanation!" Ke Qing said angrily, "Scum! Scum! A pervert!"

"Bandit is already a derogatory term, don't add other modifiers..." Li Xingshan sighed, and said: "You should be very clear about my criminal record. We bully men most of the time and never bully men. female."

To be honest, the conversation between these two people really didn't sound like a deadly rivalry, but more like... a young couple having a conflict.

This time, it was the turn of the people on both sides to start to feel awkward.

Logically speaking, the Qianyan Army and the bandits are naturally incompatible, but right now, their common enemy is the Japanese pirates.

What's more, the relationship between the leaders of the two sides seems to be somewhat entangled.

Ke Qing also seemed to realize that something was wrong with the current atmosphere, so she winked at Li Xingshan and said, "Come here, I have something to talk to you alone."

Li Xingshan frowned, but still nodded, and followed, not forgetting to turn around and say to the brothers: "Until I come back, you are not allowed to do anything."

Li Ding suddenly said: "Then what if they strike first?"

Li Xingshan smiled and said, "Damn it, you won't fight back when someone beats you! Is that thing hanging in the crotch a rolling pin? Just fight back. If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it. If the sky falls, I'll take it!" It's on."

The bandits burst into laughter again, but those Qianyan soldiers looked rather ugly.

Li Ding's "worries" are naturally non-existent. Compared with this group of "loose" bandits, the discipline of these Qianyan Army is much stricter. As long as the chief Ke Qing does not order an attack, it is absolutely impossible for them to attack .

Li Xingshan followed Keqing into an empty room, and as soon as he entered, Keqing gave Li Xingshan a blank look, and said angrily, "When did you become so vulgar?"

"Otherwise?" Li Xingshan said with a sneer, "I was driven out of Liyue Port since I was a child, and I became a bandit. How could I have the opportunity to study and learn rituals?"

Because of the incident of the emperor's death, the Treasure Bandit has long since turned from a street rat to a scum that everyone can't wait to kill, but a smart person like Keqing has naturally understood that the Treasure Bandit is just for He was just a scapegoat to calm the public opinion, so he felt somewhat guilty towards Li Xingshan in his heart.

"Then you..." Ke Qing changed the subject and said, "How have you been all these years?"

"Am I doing okay?"

Li Xingshan was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help smiling, but took two steps towards Keqing. The latter wanted to step back subconsciously, but his back was already leaning against the wall. Li Xingshan, on the other hand, unbuttoned his collar and began to take off his shirt.

"You...what do you want to do!" Keqing quickly stretched out her hands to cover her face, but still observed the situation through her fingers, and said shyly: "You...don't think that I have a heart Feel guilty and you can do whatever you want, if you do this again, I...I will not be polite to you!"

However, Li Xingshan had already taken off his shirt, and said calmly, "This is the 'life' I have lived these years."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ke Qing slowly widened her eyes, and saw that the body of the man in front of her was covered with innumerable scars, some of which were serious, which was even more shocking.

Thinking of that naughty and cute boy back then, but now he has become a bandit who is indifferent to life and death, Ke Qing's eyes are suddenly a little moist.

"Okay, let's stop talking about the past." Li Xingshan said disapprovingly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Then I'll just say it straight," Ke Qing adjusted her mood, and said: "In recent years, Japanese pirates have been rampant, and you should be very clear about it. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

"It's true," Li Xingshan rubbed his chin, and said, "Although there were also Japanese pirates in the past, they were only sporadic, but during this time, their activities have been too frequent, and their combat power is not the same. .”

"That's right, after many discussions with Liyue Seven Stars..."

Before Ke Qing finished speaking, Li Xingshan suddenly interrupted: "Wait! 'Our Liyue Seven Stars'? So, are you already Liyue Seven Stars?"

"Well," Ke Qing nodded, and said, "I have already taken over the position of Yuheng Xing."

"Then should I call you 'Master Yuheng'?" Li Xingshan teased.

"Don't be eccentric here, I... I was also ordered in the face of danger," Ke Qing raised her eyebrows, and said: "In short, we suspect that the backing of these pirates is Daozuma's shogunate."

The meaning of this sentence is equivalent to "The backing of the Treasure Bandit is actually Liyue Seven Stars".
