"In addition, how big the charity school is and how long it can last depends on how many villages you can raid and how much property you can seize along the way."

"I will not contribute a penny. I will only help you to set up the charity school. This charity school is something you fight for your fellow soldiers and for yourself."

Li Xiuzhu's words made everyone's eyes sharpen, and Zhao Jian spoke first: "This subordinate will definitely lead the people along the Liaobei route to a bright future."

Li Xiuzhu chuckled when he heard this.

"Banditism is like the weather, sometimes rainy and sometimes sunny. How can we wipe them out in one go?"

"Okay, go get ready to go."

"promise!"

On the fifth day of the army's march, Li Xiuzhu had already felt the changes in this group of new recruits.

The calmness that comes from being baptized in blood is emanating.

During these three days, five hundred people died except for the first day when the bandits were suppressed.

In the next two days, four bandit dens were wiped out, with a total of 10,000 people killed, but only 500 people died.

Li Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that this army was useful.

There is no time to waste anymore. Wang Guanfang has already said that they can no longer march.

But on the second day of their march, an accident occurred.

Wang Guanfang's horse came to the side of Li Xiuzhu's carriage.

"Sir, there are dozens of corpses ahead."

"Dozens? Do you know who they are?"

Wang Guanfang heard this and said, "Most of them are servants, and one of them looks like a butler."

"It looks like a noble family. There are some women's clothes and food in the carriage, but I don't know which family it belongs to."

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he knew that this family might have been robbed.

It seems that there is a bandit's nest here, but unfortunately they don't have time.

"Leave some people behind to dig a hole and bury the bodies. Then we can continue on our journey."

"Remember the place and take them down when you come back."

Wang Guanfang also knew that they didn’t have time, and this was the best way to deal with it.

"promise!"

The army continued to march forward, and at this moment a gust of wind blew open the curtain, and the next second a familiar face appeared in front of Li Xiuzhu.

Li Xiuzhu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"parking!"

"Whoa!"

Before anyone came forward to ask, Li Xiuzhu had already lifted the car curtain and jumped out of the car.

At this time, Li Xiuzhu had a gloomy face and walked towards the dead bodies, which made Wang Guifang, who was directing the soldiers to work, feel depressed.

The general knew these people.

Wang Guifang dismounted and came over, carefully asking, "Does your Excellency know them?"

Li Xiuzhu responded with a dark face.

"Go check for bandit strongholds around here. If you find any, don't act rashly. Come back and report."

"Yes, sir!"

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect to meet the Su family here, that is, Su Chengcheng's family.

Considering that Su Chengcheng was not at home before he went to the battlefield, could it be that she had gone on a long journey?

Li Xiuzhu felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him dare not even think.

I reached out and touched the butler's wrist, and his body temperature was already cold.

Li Xiuzhu took a deep breath and came to the Su Mansion's carriage.

There were no horses left at this time, only an empty cart.

Li Xiuzhu lifted the car curtain and looked inside, and saw a mess, with women's clothes and scattered food everywhere.

If it were any other time, he might have been in the mood to take a look at Su Chengcheng's underwear, but at this moment, he was left with only endless anger and depression.

Suddenly, Li Xiuzhu saw a hand warmer lying on the side.

I reached out and touched it and it was still warm.

The hand warmer was still warm, so it seemed that although the accident had happened some time ago, it was not too long.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the mountains around me, his heart filled with murderous intent and regret.

I should have taught Lingbo Weibu to the rest of us earlier. I hope Cheng Cheng is okay.

A moment later, Wang Guanfang rushed back.

"Sir, there is a Xiaocang Mountain five miles to the north. There are several mountains there, and there are villages on each mountain, called Lianyun Village."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu came to a horse and jumped on it, then said, "The army will set out in half an hour to surround Lianyun Village."

"Remember, don't let anyone escape. Kill all the men and capture all the women. Wait for me to come back and deal with them."

Come back? Wang Guanfang was immediately confused.

What do these mean?

Just as Li Xiuzhu was about to spurr his horse, Wang Guanfang stepped in front of Li Xiuzhu.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"My Lord, you want to take the risk alone? You can't do that. You are a great general, how can you take the risk alone?"

"Well, you give the order and we'll go on your behalf."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Wang Guanfang indifferently.

"Get out of the way, this is a military order."

"Or do you want to disobey military orders?"

At this moment, Wang Guanfang was numb, and felt a strong murderous intent from Li Xiuzhu's indifferent eyes.

Who the hell is this dead person? Wait, could it be a member of the Fu family? "Hey, sir, if you want to go, at least bring some people with you."

“Get out of the way!”

Wang Guanfang had no choice but to move aside.

"Remember to set out in half an hour, not a moment earlier. Also, you can only surround, not attack."

"promise!"

"Hello~"

Seeing Li Xiuzhu's horse leaving, the captains of several other armies also rushed here quickly. As soon as they met, they asked, "Is the horse that just left yours, General?"

Wang Guanfang nodded.

"The general has ordered that we surround Lianyun Village on Xiaocang Mountain in half an hour and not let anyone escape."

At this moment, the four people who had noticed something was wrong before felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Captain Wang, what happened?"

Wang Guanfang took a deep breath and gestured to the corpses behind him.

"The general knows these people. They are likely to be his family members."

At this moment, the four of them were stunned. They looked at Wang Guanfang and said angrily, "Wang Guanfang, you are confused. How can you let the general leave alone at this time? The general is obviously going to seek revenge."

"General, you are just a scholar, you are powerless, how can you possibly take revenge?"

"That's right. Even if the general wanted to seek revenge, he should have taken us with him. At the very least, you should have followed him. How could you let the general go alone?"

"Wang Guanfang, if anything happens to the general, today will be the day we end our friendship."

"Wang Guanfang, you are such an idiot."

It is said that sincerity is the ultimate skill. Li Xiuzhu has been treating people with sincerity these days and has won the recognition of this army in an alternative way.

Wang Guanfang glanced at the corner of his mouth after being scolded, and then looked at the few people and said quietly: "The general did not allow me to follow because of the military order. If you were here, would you dare to disobey the military order?"

The four of them paused upon hearing this and fell silent.

They didn't dare to disobey military orders.

At the same time, a village in Lianyun Village called Jinshe Village was particularly lively today, with red silks hung high in joy.

The open space in front of the Juyi Hall was now filled with tables and chairs and people were sitting on them.

There were occasional laughs and congratulations.

The smell of alcohol in the village could be smelled from far away.

In the largest room in the village, a beautiful woman with a figure like that of a 28-year-old was tied up hands and feet, wearing a red wedding dress and crying silently.
