Chapter Thirty-One
Outside Youzhou City, Chen Da and several leaders gathered together, looking at the tall Youzhou City with greedy and cruel eyes.
When one of the defenders who was familiar with the bandits near Youzhou saw this scene, his face turned pale in an instant.
"The bandits from Erlong Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, and Three Mountains are all here."
Li Feng, who came to the tower, pulled him over and asked, "Who are the people outside?"
"Half the Cloud on Erlong Mountain, Iron King Du Biao, Divine Arrow Dong Chao. Yang Ning on Peach Blossom Mountain, Jiutian Liu Dao on Peach Blossom Mountain, Liu Dao on Qingfeng Mountain, Taoist Master Qingfeng on Qingfeng Mountain."
Every time he said a name, the people next to him exclaimed. When he heard Taoist Master Qingfeng's name, Nangong Yuxiu's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Looking at the bandits outside who could almost be said to be blocking the sun, Li Feng couldn't believe what he saw.
"Youzhou City only has 150,000 people. How can they get tens of thousands of bandits?"
Nangong Yuxiu explained: "Youzhou is the gateway to the north of Daqian, and it is also the only way for trade between Daqian and Mobei. Merchants traveling from south to north are sometimes robbed, and without their goods, they simply go up the mountain to leave grass. In addition, There are a lot of homeless people in Shangmobei. Every time they come and go, tens of thousands of bandits gather in this place."
Li Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this: "There is a military force of tens of thousands of people in Youzhou. Why doesn't the court care? Why doesn't the Anxi garrison deal with it?"
Nangong Yuxiu shook his head slightly: "Because they pose no threat to the imperial court. It is common for bandits to fight each other. And after these years of development, they no longer make a living by robbing people, but mainly by extortion."
"The passing merchants only need to pay a certain toll to pass safely. At the same time, they will also use money to bribe the Anxi garrison, so they have been safe for so many years."
Li Feng took a breath when he heard this. They were not bandits, they were clearly a business group. The Anxi garrison envoy was collecting money, but he had his own life on the line. How could he defend tens of thousands of bandits?
Suddenly Li Feng reacted: "Why do you know so detailedly?"
Wei Dongting and others also looked at Nangong Yuxiu.
Nangong Yuxiu gritted his teeth and said, "Taoist Master Qingfeng is my uncle. He betrayed his master many years ago and fled here to become a bandit."
"The master has been paying attention to him these years. I came to Youzhou this time to inquire about him. But I never thought that I would encounter bandits besieging the city."
Wei Dongting asked: "Where is your master, Taoist Master Mingyue, now?"
Nangong Yuxiu was startled and replied respectfully: "Master has traveled far and wide, and I don't know where he has gone."
Wei Dongting said: "It's been several years since we last saw each other, but it's a pity that we couldn't take off his head."
Nangong Yuxiu was shocked and quickly drew his sword.
Li Feng raised his hand and held Nangong Yuxiu's wrist: "We are facing a formidable enemy, so let's stop fighting among ourselves. If anything happens, we can wait until we defeat the bandits."
"Do you know why the bandits suddenly formed an alliance to attack Youzhou? If there was only the Erlongshan family, I could assume that they came to fight Qiu Feng, but now that the three families have united, there must be other reasons."
"I don't know either." Li Feng could only look at Wei Dongting.
Wei Dongting said: "The old slave's first priority is to protect the safety of His Highness."
"I can protect myself now, you go out and get some information."
Wei Dongting nodded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Yuxiu then put away her sword, nodded slightly to Li Feng, and walked aside to rest.
Li Feng took care of the people, collected the corpses, treated the wounded, and organized and prepared for war.
But the people were frightened by the bandits outside and were trembling while working.
At the same time, the bandit leaders outside gathered together, saying they were discussing strategies to break the city, but in fact they were fighting among themselves.
As the largest bandit gang in Youzhou, the three families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but no one can do anything about the other, and eventually a three-legged situation is formed.
This joint attack on the city was the idea of Taoist Master Qingfeng. He put aside the previous grievances and agreed to pay a heavy reward, so he united Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain.
But when the three mountains came together, problems immediately emerged.
On the last nine days, Yang Ning looked at Chen Da who had lost his troops and sneered: "If you want to capture Youzhou alone and eat alone before we come, your big teeth will fall off."
Chen Da's Erlong Mountain is the closest to Youzhou City and the first to arrive. He is indeed careful, but he doesn't want to eat alone, but wants to eat more.
Coupled with Li Feng's excitement, Chen Da rushed to attack the city. Who knew that the resistance in the city was too strong and killed more than a thousand of his people.
Originally, the three mountains had a balanced power, but Chen Da lost more than a thousand people, and his strength suddenly fell to the bottom of the three mountains.
Chen Da became angry and drew his sword out of its sheath: "I can kill you even if I don't have any teeth!"
Not to be outdone, Yang Ning also drew his sword out of its sheath: "Come here."
There was a sound of drawing swords, and the men and horses of Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain faced off again.
Taoist Master Qingfeng glanced at them coldly and unsheathed his single sword. No one else could see his movements clearly. They could only hear a few clattering sounds, and all the weapons in the hands of Chen Da and others were shot down.
The leaders of the two mountains were shocked. They had known that Taoist Master Qingfeng was highly skilled in martial arts, but they did not expect him to be as skilled as this.
"If anyone continues to fight among themselves, don't blame me for killing people to establish my authority!"
Chen Da and others did not dare to speak and sat down obediently.
"This is the first time that our three mountains have cooperated. I am the first to show my sincerity in cooperation. After taking Youzhou, I don't want anything. You two will each share half of the contents."
Chen Da and Yang Ning looked at each other, both expressing doubts about this. Would such a wise old man be so kind?
"Taoist Master Qingfeng, it's not a good idea for you to help us eat."
"I'm not interested in money, but I want to be alone."
Both of them burst into laughter. Old Taoist Qingfeng is already this age, and his love is not young yet. Even at this age, he still thinks about women.
The two of them believed that the person Taoist Master Qingfeng was talking about must be a woman.
"Master Chen, you have already tested the situation in the city, please tell us."
Yang Ning sneered again, and Chen Da snorted coldly.
"Before attacking the city, King You came out of the city to have a conversation with me..."
"Wait, what did you say? King You went out of the city alone to talk to you? Are you sure that is King You?"
Chen Da said: "You can't be wrong, he is a fair and beautiful young man, and the people above him all listen to what he says."
Taoist Master Qingfeng nodded and motioned for Chen Da to continue.
"King You is very skilled. He fought with me for hundreds of rounds under the city walls, and finally ended in a draw."
Chen Da's face turned red and his heart stopped beating. Yang Ning said suspiciously: "Are you farting? The emperor's own son, how can he be raised like a princess? Can he fight with you for hundreds of rounds? You fucked him for hundreds of times.
round?"
"Fuck your mother, if you don't believe me, just ask Dong Chao, that kid can hit you."
Dong Chao nodded: "He cut off one of my arrows with his knife. Later, I used Double Dragon to go out to sea, but was blocked by the old man behind him."
Everyone was suddenly in awe. They all knew how powerful the divine arrow Dong Chao was. It could be said that his arrows were not missed, but they were actually blocked by a pretty boy.
Taoist Qingfeng, however, paid more attention to the old man he spoke of.
"Who is that old man?"
Chen Da said seriously: "According to our guess, he should be a master."
