The Counterattack of the Villains

In the battle of Shuibo, the Liangshan bandits dispatched more than 180 people, and more than 70 people were killed or injured. The remaining more than 100 people were all captured alive by the local soldiers.

According to the confessions of the bandits, there are still more than 40 bandits entrenched in the old nest of Liangshan.

In order to prevent the remaining bandits from fleeing after receiving the news, Li Mu led the country soldiers to Liangshan as quickly as possible.

The reason why he must kill all these thieves is not only because he can't stand their actions, but also not just to make good friends with the prefect of Jeju.

The main reason is to prevent these bandits from taking revenge.

They are familiar with the terrain, and once you get into the water, it will be difficult to find them.

He himself was not afraid, but he was afraid that others would be ambushed by bandits when they entered and exited Liangshan.

Or when he was not in Liangshan, these remnants of bandits attacked him at night and caused damage.

Therefore, this group of thieves must be wiped out.

At this time, they had more than 50 ships, and the country soldiers set out for Liangshan by boat, with five people watching three people.

The thieves had their hands and feet tied with ropes and were connected together, so that they could neither resist nor jump into the water to escape.

In fact, they didn't dare to run away at this time because they were scared out of their wits by Li Mu.

When the swords were swung from a distance of several feet, blood spouts appeared on the brothers' bodies, their lives were lost in a daze, and some even had their heads dropped out of thin air.

Those who were trying to dive and escape also slapped the opponent a few times, causing water to splash, and then emerged from the water and turned into floating corpses.

These horrific scenes will become a nightmare that will linger in their lives, and Li Mu is the deepest nightmare in that nightmare.

The team quickly marched towards Liangshan. After seeing the dock of Liangshan, Li Mu walked on the water and quickly swept to the shore, killing the bandits on duty at the dock to prevent them from reporting the news.

Then he went straight to Liangshan.

When Ruan Xiong and his entourage, together with two Dutou and fifty rural soldiers, rushed to the stronghold, a scene exactly like the one on the water appeared before their eyes.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and about thirty thieves were kneeling on the ground, holding their heads in their hands.

The village soldiers easily tied up the bandits and headed towards the dock happily.

This bandit suppression was completely solved by Li Mu alone, killing eighty or ninety people and capturing one hundred, thirty or forty people alive.

Ruan Xiong and the Xu brothers, who had been eager to try their skills, couldn't help but laugh and cry. They didn't even have a chance to take action.

They had the most intuitive understanding of Li Mu's power.

The thieves were all brought to the dock and put under guard. Both of them led some local soldiers to search the village inside and out, and rescued more than twenty women who had been kidnapped.

After confirming that there were no thieves in the village, he prepared to return home.

Neither of them was in a hurry to leave. After a while, they muttered together and then walked towards Li Mu.

"Master Li." The two of them called Li Mu respectfully, cupping their fists and saluting.

Li Mu returned the gift and said, "What do you two have to say?"

Dutou, whose surname was Ma, said: "That's it. I heard from Mr. Li that Daxia Li plans to establish a sect in Liangshan."

"I and Song Dutou both have a boy at home. He has practiced some boxing with us since he was a child, and his foundation is quite solid."

"So I and Song Dutou both want them to join Daxia Li's sect, but I don't know..."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Since the child of both of you has a head, he must have a tiger father and no dog son. Even if you two send the child, Li will definitely teach him with all his heart."

The two of them were overjoyed, and they both bowed to Li Mu and said, "I'll thank you, Master Li, for your trouble. I'll take my leave first."

Li Mu said: "Let's go together! We still have some things to do, so I can help you escort the prisoners."

The two of them said happily: "I can't get it."

There were more than fifty light boats, twenty-six of which belonged to the government, and the other thirty or so were Li Mu's trophies.

Having already achieved such great achievements, it would be too shameful to occupy dozens of ships, so the soldiers did not even mention it.

After leaving Liangshanbo, Li Mu and his party followed the rural soldiers and escorted the bandits back to Jeju Prefecture and met with the Jeju Prefect again.

After receiving reports from the two captains of Ma and Song, the prefect of Jeju was informed of the entire process of the bandit suppression.

There were no casualties among the local soldiers, all the bandits in Yangshan were wiped out, and more than 130 bandits were captured alive, which made the prefect of Jeju extremely happy.

When meeting with Li Mu and his entourage, he became more approachable, cordial and kind.

Li Mu took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to build a sect station in Liangshan and asked the prefect to help find craftsmen.

Without saying a word, the prefect took the initiative to take over the project and ordered the "workshop" to summon craftsmen and go to Liangshan to build it.

There are six departments in the court: officials, rituals, punishments, soldiers, workers, and households.

Correspondingly, the local government office has six rooms, and the workroom is built by the engineering department.

The workshop director went to Liangshan for an on-site inspection, communicated with Li Mu on how to build it, and drew the drawings on site. Then he returned to the government office to discuss with the prefect, and finally gave a quotation.

Li Mu didn't say anything, didn't even mention the price, just paid the money happily, and the project was contracted to the prefect.

Anyway, the workshop built the sect's headquarters according to his requirements. As for the specific amount of silver taels spent and how much silver taels the prefect earned, that is their business and has nothing to do with Li Mu.

In this way, Liangshan began to carry out large-scale construction. Before the sect's garrison was built, Li Mu and his party had to live in the stronghold left by the bandits.

This fortress would also need to be expanded in the future to accommodate the disciples.

It's not necessary at the moment, it's just started, and it hasn't even trained its direct disciples yet, so there's no need to be in such a hurry.

Liangshan has a radius of nearly ten miles, and there are many places for building houses. The goal Li Mu wants to achieve is just trivial.

Ruan Xiong and the Xu brothers went home and moved both Ruan and Xu families to Liangshan.

They practiced martial arts in the bandits' stronghold and waited for the sect's garrison to be built.

…

In the wide open space in the village, more than 20 people, old, middle-aged and young, gathered together, divided into three groups to practice kung fu.

There are seven adults in one group, namely Ruan Xiong, Mrs. Ruan, Old Boxer Xu, Xu Shiying, Xu Shihao, Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu.

Although the old boxer Xu is in his sixties, he is still going strong.

The use of the Nine Yin Divine Art allowed his muscles and bones to be improved and strengthened even when he was approaching his sixtieth year, and he was expected to go from a third-rate boxer to a first-rate master.

The eighteen children were divided into two groups. One group was Ruan Baiming and his seven cousins, plus eight direct disciples of Li Mu.

The other group is Li Mu and two and a half young men.

These two young men were the sons of Ma Dutou and Song Dutou. One was named Ma Yan, fourteen years old, and the other was named Song Zhe, thirteen years old.

They are also Li Mu's direct disciples. Because they were the last to start and have not yet learned the Nine Yin Magic Skills, they were taught by Li Mu himself.

Among these children, with the exception of Ruan Baiming, all others had been secretly subjected to the soul-transfer method by Li Mu, including Ruan Xingzhu's seven cousins.

After all, there is a layer between the cousins. Who knows if they will have different intentions? Li Mu wants absolute safety, so except for Ruan Baiming, all the children are treated equally.

Ruan Xingzhu stopped practicing the Kung Fu. Her top priority now was to improve her internal strength, so she practiced the Beiming Divine Kung Fu alone in the room.

Moreover, she was not suitable to practice Qigong anymore because she developed nausea and vomiting in the third month after arriving in Liangshan.

Li Mu took her own pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant.
