Chapter 81

As the saying goes, a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves, and even two fists cannot defeat four hands. No matter how advanced Shangguan Yuanwu's cultivation is, no matter how powerful his spiritual martial arts skills are, he can't withstand so many enemies. What's more, the cultivation of Bai Yong, Gu Yue and others are not bad either. If you name any one of them, they are not free of charge.

The seven men probably besieged Shangguan Yuanwu for more than thirty rounds. The latter began to be unable to resist. He defended more and fought back less. Gradually, he could only parry and had no power to fight back.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Tang Yin ostensibly attacked several times, forcing Shangguan Yuanwu to scramble. At the same time, he used shadow drift to suddenly appear behind him and perform a sweeping kick silently.

Shangguan Yuanwu felt that his lower body was being attacked, but the weapons coming from all directions around him were already forcing him to cope. He could no longer dodge. With a muffled bang, Tang Yin kicked him on the ankle. Shangguan Yuanwu couldn't stand, screamed, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

Bang! Shangguan Yuanwu was tall and wearing spiritual armor. He fell to the ground like a mountain falling, making a huge sound.

Before he could get up again, the weapons of Tang Yin, Bai Yong, Guyue and others were all pressed against his body.

"Don't move! If you dare to move again, your head will be removed immediately!" Tang Yin looked down at Shangguan Yuanwu and shouted coldly.

"Ah!" Shangguan Yuanwu was unwilling to give in. He struggled to get up. The knife in Tang Yin's hand slashed fiercely, hitting Shangguan Yuanwu's chest. The spiritual armor on the latter's chest was shattered in pieces, and he was also in pain. screamed out.

Before he could catch his breath, Tang Yin shook his head and shouted: "Tied!"

Li Wei and Chen Fang each pulled out a long iron chain from the grass nearby and tied Shangguan Yuanwu tightly.

The two Shangguan brothers, who were so powerful and arrogant just now, have now become Tang Yin's prisoners. They both looked ugly, lying on the ground staring at Tang Yin and grinding their teeth. If their eyes could turn into knives, then Tang Yin's At least hundreds of holes must be inserted into the body.

The two Shangguan brothers were tied up like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They were carried by Bai Yong, Guyue and others and placed on horses. Then everyone walked out of the forest in high spirits.

Bai Yong walked to Tang Yin's side and said with a smile: "If Lord Tang hadn't taken action to restrain Shangguan Yuanbiao first this time, we really wouldn't have been able to withstand these two brothers!"

He was telling the truth. Shangguan Yuan Biao's cultivation level was not inferior to that of Shangguan Yuan Wu. If these two brothers were to join forces, Tang Yin and others would not be able to protect themselves, let alone get an advantage.

After hearing what he said, Tang Yin just chuckled and didn't say much. Shangguan Yuanwu, who was lying on the horse, shouted unconvincingly: "What are you so proud of? If my brothers weren't so careless, If you want to catch me, you have to practice for another hundred years..."

Halfway through his shouting, Li Wei tore off another piece of cloth from his armor and stuffed it into Shangguan Yuanwu's mouth with a bang.

This time, it was good, both brothers became mutes who could not speak.

They returned triumphantly, and Zhang Zhou on the other side also made good progress.

He commanded more than 3,000 officers and soldiers to attack the bandits. Their side had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and combat power. Without the presence and leadership of the Shangguan brothers, the bandits were no match for the officers and soldiers and were quickly defeated. Scattered, some people fled, and other bandits who had no time to escape were all captured.

When Tang Yin and others arrived, the battle was nearing its end. Zhang Zhouzheng led the main force to kill the bandit stronghold on the top of the mountain.

Before they could walk up the mountain, Qiu Zhen quickly ran over from among the soldiers who were cleaning up the field. When he saw the captured Shangguan brothers, he smiled happily and said, "We have achieved great success in this battle!"

Seeing Qiu Zhen here, no one except Bai Yong was surprised. As long as there is a war, no matter how big or small it is, whether his side has the upper hand or not, Qiu Zhen will stay far away, as if he is afraid that he will be affected. As if to arrive.

Tang Yin asked: "How is the situation here?"

"The bandits are vulnerable. The main force has been dispersed by us, and the remaining remnants do not pose any threat." Qiu Zhen shook his head and said.

This result had been expected by everyone, and it was only then that the Shangguan brothers knew that they had not only fallen into an ambush, but also fell into their plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. While the two of them were chasing Bai Yong, the brigade Officers and soldiers have come here to clean up.

The two brothers were hateful and angry, but now that they were captured, it was too late to regret. The two brothers were like cocks that had been defeated in a fight, and their heads that were originally held high were pulled down.

Seeing this, Bai Yong walked to the horse, looked at the two brothers who were filled with regret and listlessness, and said, "How is it? Now you two know how powerful Mr. Tang is! If you two can abandon the secret and turn to the light, I guarantee that you two will not die." If you don't worry about it, you can show off your talents in the army. If on the contrary, you are still obsessed with it, then I am afraid that this time the two of you will be in trouble, and no one can save you two!"

Shangguan Yuanbiao raised his head sharply, his eyes widened, and he looked at Bai Yong without blinking.

Knowing that he had something to say, Bai Yong reached out and removed the cloth from his mouth.

As soon as he gained the freedom to speak, Shangguan Yuanbiao couldn't wait to curse: "Fuck you, you despicable villain. When I get out of trouble, I will cut you into pieces..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yong shook his head, stuffed the strip of cloth back into his mouth, and sighed: "It's so hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. Do you two think you still have a chance to get out of trouble? Wait until you return to Hengcheng , that’s when the two of you die!”

"Woo...Woo..."

Shangguan Yuanbiao's eyes widened even more, and he whined from time to time in his throat, but unfortunately he couldn't curse a word.

After waiting at the foot of the mountain for more than half an hour, Zhang Zhou finally led his soldiers down the mountain.

Everyone looked up and saw that the victory was obviously fruitful. Not only did they capture a large number of bandits, but they also surrendered a lot of weapons and supplies. Eight of them were carrying four large boxes. Just by looking at the appearance, they knew that what was inside was not. Qiu Zhen's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to ask the soldiers to stop. Then he opened the box and saw that it was filled with gold and silver.

"Haha, Mr. Tang, we are rich this time!" Qiu Zhen turned around and shouted.

Tang Yin urged his horse forward, lowered his head to take a look, his heart was shaken, and then looked back at Shangguan brothers, and said quietly: "The evil deeds of the two in Pingyuan County can be seen from this! I have some doubts now, Shangguan Yuanji is against the army. Are all the funding provided by your two brothers? You are basically colluding!"

"Woooo..."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao shouted in unison, their eyes widened, and the corners of their eyes were about to burst. This matter was no joke. If Tang Yin insisted on saying this and convicted him, then the eldest brother would end up with the same fate. The key is that they never gave Shangguan Yuanji a penny. On the contrary, Shangguan Yuanji kept urging his two brothers to stop as soon as possible.

Just by looking at the reactions of his two brothers, Tang Yin guessed that things were not what he said. He smiled secretly in his heart, but did not show anything on his face. His expression was as cold as ice, and he deliberately threatened: "When we return to Hengcheng, I will hold your brothers accountable again! "

"woo woo woo woo……"

Brother Shangguan's shouts became more frequent.

Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong looked at each other, grinning, but neither of them spoke.

The battle went smoothly. Not only did they successfully capture the Shangguan brothers, but they also successfully destroyed the bandit strongholds and captured a large number of bandits. In addition, they also seized a huge amount of gold and silver. These results were something no one expected when they came.

Tang Yin led his troops back victoriously. For fear of an accident on the road, the team traveled all night and returned to Hengcheng smoothly the next morning.

The news of their complete victory in suppressing the bandits has spread back to Hengcheng. Officials from the county and city came out to greet him. Seeing Tang Yin from a distance, everyone quickly stepped forward to greet him, bowed to the ground, and said something to me. He praised in one word: "Master Tang is indeed extraordinary in martial arts. He won a complete victory in the first battle against the bandits. Having Master Tang in charge of Pingyuan County in the future will be a blessing to our county and the people!"

"Lord Tang is mighty——"

Everyone loves to listen to hymns, and Tang Yin is no exception. Although the flattering smiles on everyone's faces irritate him, he still accepts the words of praise with peace of mind.

He sat on his horse, with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes crooked, he bowed his hands to everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sirs. There are great ladies in charge of government affairs in the county, so I can feel at ease when doing things outside!" He said with such a smile. He said that in his heart he was secretly planning to make a major change of officials in the county when the time came.

"Oh, Mr. Tang, you are so polite!" The officials were flattered and surrounded him into the city like stars holding the moon.

Logically speaking, wiping out a large group of bandits is a happy event, but Hengcheng is still lifeless. Except for the officials who came out to greet them, the people in the city are still indifferent. Let alone greeting them, there are only a few people watching the excitement. He looked like it had nothing to do with him.

This scene made Tang Yin frown, and the joy in his heart was greatly reduced. Could it be that what he did was not good enough?

He waved to Zhang Zhou behind him, called him to his side, and whispered: "General Zhang, why do I feel that the people in the city don't care about the bandits!"

"Oh!" Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly and said sternly: "Although the Shangguan brothers are bandits, they never rob the common people who pass by, and only attack the merchants, so the common people don't have any deep ill will towards them."

In fact, what he said was softer. In fact, in the hearts of the people, they felt that Tang Yin, the new county guard, had done a great job, but he did not dare to take the initiative to attack the barbarians, so they had no choice but to attack the bandits within the territory.

The people all have a hatred of the rich, and the Shangguan brothers' behavior of robbing the rich caters to the people's psychology. So from the heart, the people do not hate the bandits, but rather hate the officers and soldiers who can only show off but cannot protect them. .
