The number of people who died in this process was millions, not just a few villages."

At this point, Li Jing was already quite excited. He took a breath and then continued:

"The world is in chaos now, with rebels rising everywhere.

There are so many that they are countless.

Among them, there are also many scum who fish in troubled waters, just to feed the common people and dominate one place.

The Jianghuai Army is nothing in this..."

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, feeling that what Li Jing said was quite reasonable.

Although he does not like military matters by nature, he is not completely ignorant.

In today's troubled times, there are many warlords. You fight me and I fight you, all trying to fight for the world. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, but it only brings suffering to the people.

To end this suffering, someone must sweep the world and restore peace.

Thinking of these, Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he fell into silence again.

…

Not long after, Yongzi seemed to have explained the matter to the village girl in the distance, and the two of them walked back towards the village, one behind the other.

"Little girl Susu, thank you Mr. Meng for taking me in.

If I can return to Wagang, I will definitely try my best to repay you for your kindness..."

As soon as the girl arrived in front of Meng Xiuyuan, she bowed respectfully and said excitedly.

Meng Xiuyuan was puzzled when he heard this and turned to look at Zhang Yong, wondering what he had said to the girl.

Zhang Yong's expression turned bitter when he saw this, and he moved closer to Meng Xiuyuan. He was about to explain the situation to Meng Xiuyuan in a low voice, but unexpectedly, something happened suddenly.

I could only hear the sound of horse hooves coming from behind the mountain, from far to near, and the speed was extremely fast. When I heard the sound, I could see the dust flying, and it was obvious that there were many people.

Sure enough, after a while, more than a hundred riders came around the hill and along the road towards the small village. The leader of them was wearing a high crown and was dressed quite strangely.

"Du Fuwei is here!"

Zhang Yong only glanced at it from a distance, then screamed and hurriedly pulled the girl Su Su to hide behind Meng Xiuyuan, while Li Jing on the side also had a solemn look on his face, holding a long knife tightly in his hand.

These more than a hundred riders had no intention of entering the village, and were just passing by by the way. However, when they arrived in front of the village, they saw those Jianghuai Army soldiers who had been hit on their acupuncture points and lying on the ground. It was impossible to turn a blind eye.

"stop!"

When Du Fuwei gave the order, the cavalry team behind him immediately stopped, and he himself jumped up from his horse and floated down in front of Meng Xiuyuan and others like a big bird.

"Mr. Du..."

Zhang Yong was obviously in too much awe of Du Fuwei on weekdays, and it was difficult to change his mentality at this moment. Seeing the big leader rushing in front of him, he couldn't help but speak.

Du Fuwei did not speak when he heard the sound, but glanced around first, looking at Jiang Huaijun who had his acupuncture points pressed on the ground, and then at Li Jing and Zhang Yong, who were slightly nervous.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Meng Xiuyuan's face and slowly said:

"A person alone has the guts to provoke me, Jiang Huaijun, and he is a man...

Boy, I think you look quite familiar, have we met somewhere?"

Meng Xiuyuan thought for a moment after hearing this, then smiled, shook his head, and said calmly:

"I'm afraid Mr. Du has seen my wanted portrait..."

Du Fuwei was reminded by Meng Xiuyuan, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He looked at Meng Xiuyuan again, his eyes were much more serious than before:

"The one who defeated Yu Wenhuaji and stole "The Secret of Immortality" turned out to be you?!

Meng Xiuyuan... Tsk, when I saw your portrait, I thought it was because the officials in the court were incompetent and the pictures were inaccurate. I didn't expect you to be so young."

When Yu Wenhuaji was defeated by Meng Xiuyuan, many pairs of eyes were present to witness it. Even if he wanted to hide it for the sake of reputation, he couldn't.

Simply, Yu Wenhuaji issued Meng Xiuyuan's arrest warrant widely, so that a few months ago, the name "Meng Xiuyuan" had spread to the ears of many high-ranking people.

"Meng Xiuyuan, I heard that you have a close connection with the Goryeo Rakshasa girl.

She told you the secret of ‘Mr. Yang’s Treasure’, right or wrong?”

Even though Du Fuwei knew Meng Xiuyuan's identity, he still looked domineering and asked Meng Xiuyuan in a rough voice, like an adult asking a child.

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly realized that Yu Wenhuaji would not suffer a hidden loss so easily.

Presumably, he took the initiative to spread the news about "Yang Gong's Treasure", which caused ambitious people like Du Fuwei who wanted to seize the world to start thinking about Meng Xiuyuan.

Seeing the greedy face of Du Fuwei opposite him, almost determined to eat him, Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said simply:

"I do know the location of the 'Yang Gong Treasure'.

But why should I tell you?"

Du Fuwei laughed loudly when he heard the sound and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"How about if I can spare your life after you tell me?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard the sound and said:

"Mr. Du, actually just now, I was thinking about whether I should spare your life.

Since we have similar ideas, how about making a bet?"

When Du Fuwei heard Meng Xiuyuan's "wild talk", he immediately looked serious and asked:

"What to bet on?"
