After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 30 Bandits

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

He lay on the quilt with his legs up, and played with He Chunhua's kite money in his hand: "Father, who developed the usage of Yuanli in the first place? Some say it was taught by gods, and some say it was taught by immortals." .”

   When inactive, this looks like a normal coin. Who would have expected that a small order of the country would be able to bear the fate of the country and the support of the people?

   Yuanli is too mysterious.

"There is no consensus, the history is hard to find." He Chunhua frowned, "The origin of Yuanli is very vague. After all, human beings have a history of only two or three thousand years, and there are states and countries for more than a thousand years. It is said that in ancient times, gods and All the immortals roamed the world, and there was no country in the world at that time; it was not until the gods disappeared after the great catastrophe, and monsters were rampant, that human beings had to fight against each other, and then there was a country."

  He took back the kite money from his son: "It was the appearance of the Sheji Order that made it possible for the country to fight against the monster race. Is it taught by the gods, immortals, or people themselves, what does it matter?"

   After all, practitioners are only a minority, and most people are born ordinary, how can they fight against the monsters who have grown into climate? At this time, the strength generated by united will and united will become a sharp weapon for the country to deal with the monster race.

  From fighting against courts, to exchanging strength and weakness, Yuanli has contributed a lot. The number and territory of human kingdoms are far larger than those of demon kingdoms and demon realms.

   "That is to say, no one knows the origin of Yuanli?" He Lingchuan sighed and turned back to the topic, "Father, why did you follow the desert?"

   "Aren't you going to follow me?" He Chunhua also lay down halfway. Tired for days, the whole body seemed to be falling apart as soon as he relaxed, "If I refuse to obey, Sun Guoshi will kill me according to the order."

   "It's a lie because of the order?" He Lingchuan sneered, "Wang Ling wants us to cooperate with the investigation. Didn't we delay for so long? On the day of departure, in fact, you can delay the time if you are determined."

  There are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. In which world is this different?

  This kid is much more delicate than before. He Chunhua closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then said in a low voice: "With Sun Guoshi here, the chance of coming back alive is not low; besides, I always feel that this trip to the ancient city of Panlong is a bit strange. Very ominous."

  He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat: "How?"

   "I can't tell." He Chunhua shook his head, "It's just a whim. I also thought about excuses, but the worries in my heart are getting heavier and heavier, and my instinct is to go this way."

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

  People at the time paid much attention to this, and He Lingchuan couldn't say anything more. But he still felt that there was something weird about it.

  Governor He is notoriously mature and prudent, would he put himself in danger just because of a little feeling?

  But he didn't say it, where would a son guess?

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

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

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

   Bandits.

   This group of sand bandits are human beings, about 30 riders, and they are basically sturdy men, who come and go like the wind on horseback. He Lingchuan saw at a glance that the guys with bulging muscles were all warriors, and there might be magicians in the team.

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

   It goes without saying that the sand bandits are seen by our own side; but in the eyes of the sand bandits, this team is neatly dressed, with light armor and long knives, standard soldiers, armor, and weapons, plus horses that can be recognized at a glance, what does it mean?

   It's an army!

   Either march, or suppress bandits, or patrol, what else can the army appear in the Panlong Desert?

  The people don't fight with the officials, and the number of the army far exceeds that of their own.

   Fortunately, the masked man in charge turned his head and saw He Chunhua, his eyes lit up instantly, and he actually patted his horse forward: "Governor He, we are just passing by!"

   Didn’t he just pass by before looting? He Chunhua coughed, a little embarrassed: "We have no time to suppress the bandits today, so just don't do evil... Is there anyone in the north?"

  Sun Guoshi and the two looked at him, then at the bandits, and they understood.

   Both sides clearly recognize each other.

   "No, there isn't even a single bird feather." The big man laughed and said hastily, "Let's go first, so we won't delay your business!"

   All the Sand Bandits were about to rub the soles of their feet with oil, but Sun Fuping said, "Wait a minute! You should know the Panlong Desert very well?"

   "Uh, sort of." The big man saw that he was half a horse ahead of He Chunhua, and he had an extraordinary bearing, so he seemed to be a big man with status. This kind of person is usually their favorite big fat sheep. After looting their belongings, they can also be kidnapped for ransom.

  But Jun He is on the side, so it's not easy for them to make mistakes.

   "How long have you been here?"

   "Ten, it's just a few years." Situ Han tried to explain, "We always close when we see good..."

   "Then stay."

"what?"

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

  He Chunhua thought in his heart, two hundred officers and troops are not enough? But he still nodded on the surface: "Yes, it's not easy to recruit people in the city."

  Sun Guoshi smiled kindly, and the weasel looked at the sand bandit like a chicken, looking at the other party with trepidation, and wanted to run away when he speeded up. Unexpectedly, He Chunhua held up the kite money and coughed lightly: "Leave them all! Since Heishui City officially incorporated the Thirty Mangshan Bandit..."

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

   "... Thirty-two people, merged into Deputy Lieutenant Zeng Feixiong's subordinates, and served with the army!"

   He Chunhua even listed their salaries and benefits.

  The Mangshan gangsters stared wide-eyed and looked at each other. The bandit leader couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively: "I, we have become officers and soldiers?"

   Isn’t this too fake and too childish? The officials are good at playing.

   "Exactly!"

   "Then, where is Sheriff He going?"

   "Attend to be sent by the national teacher." He Chunhua pointed at Sun Fuping, "Deep into the ruins of Panlong."

  Looking at the officers and soldiers surrounding them, the gangsters were dumbfounded: "What!"

  …

  After walking more than ten miles, Situ Han, the leader of the bandit, still felt a little dizzy. Today he was clearly optimistic about Huang Li before he came out to rob, why did he suddenly become a regular army halfway?

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

   How can eating imperial food be as happy as being a king of the mountain? However, all the people under his command were surrounded by the Heishui City Legion, and there was nowhere to run. Situ Han's smile was uglier than crying, and his back felt cold: "Young Master He, are we really going to enter the Panlong ruins? The sand season is coming, and there will be no life if you get stuck in it!"
