Chapter 28 Sand Bandits

The strong wind made the wooden windows whine, and no one dared to open them. But the light leaking through the cracks told He Lingchuan that it was getting dark outside.

He lay on the quilt with his legs crossed and played with He Chunhua's kite money in his hand: "Dad, who originally developed the use of Yuanli? Some say it was taught by gods, and some say it was taught by immortals. "

When not activated, this looks like a normal coin. Who would have thought that a small order of government could carry the fate of the family and the country and the support of the people?

Yuanli is too mysterious.

"It's hard to agree on one thing, and it's hard to find it in the sea of ​​history." He Chunhua frowned, "The origin of Yuanli is very vague. After all, the history of human beings only lasts for nearly two or three thousand years, and the existence of states only lasts for more than a thousand years. It is said that in ancient times, gods and When the immortals roamed the world, there were no kingdoms in the world at that time; it was not until the great catastrophe that the gods disappeared and monsters ran rampant that humans had to unite to fight, and then there were kingdoms. "

He took back the kite money from his son: "It was the emergence of the Sheji Order that made it possible for the human country to fight against the demon clan. Was it taught by gods, immortals, or people themselves realized it? What does it matter?"

After all, practitioners are only in the minority. Most people are born ordinary. How can they fight against monsters that have grown up? At this time, the Yuan Power generated by united efforts and unity has become a weapon for the country to deal with the demon clan.

From fighting against each other in court to dealing with the strong and the weak, Yuanli played an indispensable role. Today, the number and territory of human countries are much larger than those of demon countries and demon realms.

"In other words, no one still knows the origin of Yuanli?" He Lingchuan sighed and returned to the topic, "Dad, why did you follow the desert?"

"Why don't you just follow me?" He Chunhua also lay down halfway. After working hard for days, his whole body seemed to fall apart when he relaxed, "If I don't obey, Master Sun will kill me according to the order."

"Is it just a matter of course?" He Lingchuan sneered, "The king asked us to cooperate with the investigation. Didn't we delay it for so long? On the day of departure, you can actually delay it if you are determined."

There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. In what world is this different?

This kid's thoughts are much more delicate than before. He Chunhua closed his eyes and rested his mind for a long time, and then whispered: "With Guoshi Sun here, the chance of coming back alive is not low; besides, I always feel that this trip to Panlong Ancient City is a bit strange, so if I don't follow it in person, I'm afraid there will be something behind me. Very ominous.”

He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat: "What should I say?"

"I can't tell." He Chunhua shook his head, "It's just a whim. I also thought about passing the blame, but the worries in my heart are getting heavier and heavier, so my instinct is that I should take this trip."

The so-called whim is actually the so-called sixth sense.

People at that time paid great attention to this, and He Lingchuan couldn't say anything else. But he still felt that there was something strange about it.

Sheriff He is well-known for being mature and prudent. Would he risk his life just for a little bit of feeling?

But if he doesn't say it, where can the son guess?

He Chunhua added: "Chuan'er, you performed very well this time."

"Oh?" Dad actually praised him? He Lingchuan suddenly became energetic.

"Don't be too polite to Nian Songyu. Use your own methods to trick him. He has the Imperial Master behind him, and you have me behind him." He Chunhua's voice was very low, "But don't use force with him, you can't beat him. You have a good grasp of this measure.”

"Yes!" Sure enough, He Chunhua wanted his eldest son to be the good guy and himself to be the bad guy. The eldest son Zhaya Huhu said everything that needed to be said, and He Chunhua came forward to backtrack.

The next morning, the team was on the road again.

Although they were still on the Hongya Road, there were fewer and fewer travelers in this direction. Sun Guoshi's team finally encountered the second greatest disaster in the Panlong Desert:

Bandits.

This group of sand bandits are human beings. They have about thirty riders. They are basically tough men. They ride their horses back and forth like the wind. He Lingchuan could tell at a glance that the guys with bulging muscles were all warriors, and there might be a magician in the team.

The two sides came towards each other and bumped into each other. They were both startled and looked up and down.

Needless to say, in the eyes of the sand bandits, this team is neatly dressed, with light armor, long swords, standard soldiers, armor, and weapons, plus horses that can be recognized at a glance. What does it mean?

This is an army!

Either marching, suppressing bandits, or patrolling, what else can the army do when it appears in the Panlong Desert?

The people did not fight with the officials, and the army far outnumbered our own, so the bandits were completely surprised.

Fortunately, the masked man at the head turned around and saw He Chunhua, his eyes lit up immediately, and he actually clapped his hands and stepped forward: "Chief He, we are just passing by!"

Before starting the robbery, wasn't it just passing by? He Chunhua coughed, a little embarrassed: "We have no time to suppress bandits today, so just don't do evil... Is there anyone else in the due north direction?"

Sun Guoshi and the other two looked at him and then at the sand bandit, they understood.

Both sides obviously recognize each other.

"No, not even a feather on the bird." The big man laughed and said quickly, "Let's leave first, so as not to delay your business!"

The bandits were about to apply oil on their soles, but Sun Fuping said: "Wait a minute! You must know the Panlong Desert very well?"

"Well, that's right." The big man saw that he was half a horse ahead of He Chunhua. He had an extraordinary bearing, and he must be a big shot with status. This kind of person is usually their favorite big fat sheep. After looting their belongings, they can also kidnap and extort ransom. They use two things and don't waste them.

But with Commander He on their side, they couldn't make any mistakes.

"How long have you been here?"

"Ten, just a few years." Situ Han tried to explain, "We have always stopped when we are ahead..."

"Then stay."

"Ah?"

Sun Fuping said to He Chunhua: "We are short of manpower, isn't this just right?"

He Chunhua thought, two hundred soldiers are not enough? But he nodded on the surface: "Yes, it is not easy to recruit people in the city."

Sun Guoshi smiled kindly, looking at the sand bandits like a weasel looking at chickens, making the other party feel scared and want to run away. Unexpectedly, He Chunhua raised the kite money and coughed lightly: "Stay! From now on, Heishui City officially incorporates thirty fierce bandits from Mangshan..."

He Lingchuan counted them clearly on the side: "Thirty-two people!"

"...Thirty-two people, merged into the subordinates of Deputy Lieutenant Zeng Feixiong, follow the army and wait for orders!"

He Chunhua even listed their salaries and benefits.

The Mangshan bandits widened their eyes and looked at each other. The bandit leader couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively: "I, we have become soldiers now?"

Isn't this too fake and too childish? Officials are so good at having fun.

"Exactly!"

"Then, where is He going?"

"Wait for the Imperial Master's orders." He Chunhua pointed at Sun Fuping, "Go deep into the Panlong ruins."

Looking at the government troops surrounding them from all sides, the bandits were dumbfounded: "What!"

...

After walking more than ten miles, the bandit leader Situ Han still felt a little dizzy. He had clearly checked the almanac before coming out to rob today, how come he suddenly became a regular army halfway through?

He Lingchuan patted his shoulder and sympathized with him: "Hold on. As long as you return to the city alive, you will eat the emperor's food in the future."

Eating the emperor's food is not as happy as being a mountain king? However, his men were surrounded by the Black Water City Legion, and there was nowhere to run. Situ Han's smile was uglier than crying, and his back was cold: "Young Master He, are we really going to enter the Panlong ruins? The crazy sand season is coming, and it's a dead end if you get stuck in it!"
