"As for the amount of the reward, it will be based on your military achievements. It's all written on the notice board!"
"Those who are willing to go, please line up. We will leave in half an hour!"
After that, everyone lined up in an orderly manner, and there was no longer the chaos as before.
The four of them also lined up. Lin Tongxi followed behind Su Ruoxue and signed his name.
"Young man, I see that you don't seem to be carrying any weapons?" a yamen runner asked.
Lin Tongxi demonstrated his Star-Fixing Pivot, then shot a needle onto the table and then took the needle back.
"So the young man used a hidden weapon. My eyesight was poor. Please go over there and rest." The bailiff made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Tongxi sat with the three of them, waiting for Gan Xingfan to announce their departure.
While waiting, Lin Tongxi sorted out the strength of the Muqiao team in his mind.
Yue Yunling and Chen Yunxuan both activated their talents, namely [Momentum Like a Broken Bamboo] and [Heart Like Calm Water]
Yue Lingyun is a third-rank warrior, and his weapon is a spear. His talent allows his full-strength attack to have the same effect as a ninth-rank martial artist.
Chen Yunxuan is a fourth-grade warrior, his weapon is a sword, and he has a certain probability of using the attacks of a third-grade warrior.
From this perspective, Yue and Chen are undoubtedly the ones with the strongest combat power.
Compared with everyone else, their fighting power can be said to be among the best, and only Gan Xingfan and his two confidants can match them.
Gan Xingfan is a ninth-rank martial master, and his two close associates are fourth-rank warriors.
As for Su Ruoxue, she was at an average level. After all, their gang of bandit-suppression troops were mostly composed of eighth-grade warriors.
And what about Lin Tongxi himself? He was probably the only ordinary person who participated. If he didn't have the gun and Ding Xingshu to support him, he might not want to participate in this bandit suppression.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Gan Xingfan came out and led everyone to Huigu Mountain where Huxiao Village was entrenched.
The mountain is steep and overgrown with weeds. There is only one road that can accommodate many people. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The leader of Huxiaozhai took a look and chose this place as his new base.
"Hey, big brother, why did we have to leave the previous village and come to such a desolate place?" His younger brother, the fifth leader, couldn't help but complain.
The boss took out a map and explained to him: "Brother, you don't know that you can make a fortune here!"
As he spoke, the boss pointed to a few spots on the map and said, "Look, here and there, there are gangs from Xiangzhou."
"This place is the only one that looks like a map with a missing corner, and the closest place to it is our Tiger Roar Village."
"Then Ling Ji wants us to hold Ding Nanjing back, to prevent his army from joining forces with Ding Yunyi and to prevent his army from being attacked by both of them."
"As for us... we took Ling Ji's money, so we made a profit."
"As for the other part... that depends on our ability. This place is easier to defend than to attack. If we take everything and return to the village, what can the government troops do to us?"
The fifth boss nodded, not quite understanding.
The boss was helpless in the face of his silly brother. Who told him that he had the same blood as himself?
Oh, I don't know what happened to his other brother. Maybe he fell in love with some girl, raped her, and got locked up?
Fortunately, he had the foresight to establish good relations with the officials here in advance.
My two younger brothers never give me peace of mind, alas!
Just when he was worried, the second in command and the fourth in command rushed in and brought him two pieces of news.
"Let's talk about what we agreed on first." The boss leaned lazily back in his chair.
"Uh... Boss, you may have misunderstood. These are all bad news." The fourth boss wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Why do you guys only bring bad news lately?" The boss threw an apple to the ground and said angrily, "Just tell me one."
Seeing this, the fourth in command didn't dare to speak, but looked at the taller second in command.
"Let me tell you." The second in command said the shocking news calmly with a gloomy face.
"Boss, the third in command is dead." The second in command's face was calm, without any fluctuation.
When the eldest boss heard this, he stood up and angrily overturned the table, staring at him and demanding, "What? He's dead? Who killed him?"
The second in command nodded, accustomed to the first in command's reaction.
"He was killed by Chengtian Academy."
"Also, there's even worse news."
"Chengtian Academy has brought people to attack us."
