In a wooden house with the sign "Juyi Village" on Yingzui Ridge, the left-behind bandits led by Xu Mingyuan, the second-in-commander, were standing in the hall with their hands tied together, looking at Deng Chenggong, who was sitting on the tiger-skin chair that only the boss dared to sit on on the usual table.

Although these bandits suddenly became more honest than the common people, Deng Chenggong knew very well that as long as they were given some opportunities, these guys who had been wandering on the brink of life and death would fight him without hesitation. This is common in the bandit circle.

This time, because he went up the mountain overnight, Deng Chenggong, apart from taking Liu Ergou, a bandit, led the way, only seven young people from Lijiazhuang, could assign tasks. However, most of these young people only learned to shoot. If something really happened, Deng Chenggong did not believe that these young people had the ability to suppress these bandits who had dealt with life and death all year round.

In view of this situation, Deng Chenggong stared at Xu Mingyuan, who was standing below with a calm face and looked at him, "As a bandit, I think you should all know that sooner or later, there will be such a day after walking on this road. So now I would like to ask the second in command for a question. What do you think I should deal with you?"

When they were taken to the hall, Xu Mingyuan and others knew that their leader had been shot by the young man in front of him. This means that now the only leader Xu Mingyuan is the only one in the entire copycat.

Regarding Deng Chenggong's question, Xu Mingyuan said with a wry smile: "Since Deng Yingxiong has said that as bandits, there will be such a day sooner or later, what else can we say? Whether to die or live is not all based on your words. But I want to make a statement in advance, that is, most of us who stay behind in the mountain village are ordinary people nearby. They have to become bandits because they have no way to live. In the past, we rarely went down the mountain to rob families. So we also hope that Deng Yingxiong will let me and these brothers live in order to live in order to do so. As for me, I will let the heroes deal with it. Even if death can be exchanged for the lives of the brothers, I will admit it!"

Listening to Xu Mingyuan's soft and hard answer, Deng Chenggong lamented that the scholar's wisdom was really extraordinary. He even bribed his subordinates' hearts, but also transferred the charge of taking human lives to himself. If he killed these bandits, it means that he was not better than the bandits. If he didn't kill them, he would save the lives of all the brothers.

In fact, when he broke through the clerk, Deng Chenggong did not want to catch all the bandits in one go. Although he came from the 20th century, he understood that in such an era when warlords and people were in trouble, going up the mountain to be a bandit may not be a way to save his life. The reason why he kicked Xu Mingyuan the right to deal with these bandits was more to see what kind of guy this scholar-like temperament was.

After understanding some of the character of the second in command, Deng Chenggong quickly said: "Since the second in command is so loyal, it is really unreasonable if I don't give you a way out. Okay, I can give you a way out, but you must promise me that you will not harm the people from now on. Can you do it?"

The bandits naturally said in unison with this request: "Yes!" Some bandits even used swearing and cursing as usual, saying that they would not follow their promises and thunder. Deng Chenggong was only upset about this.

After waving his hand to stop everyone's noise, Deng Chenggong said: "Tonight I will be wronged and squatted in the room next to me for a night. After my people come to take over tomorrow, I will decide whether to leave you or let you go. However, if the second head of the army doesn't mind, I want to talk to you about this Yingzui Ridge. I wonder if the second head of the army is willing to give Deng a face?"

Of course, Xu Mingyuan did not dare to say anything. After the decision came down, Deng Chenggong asked Liu Ergou to take the young people from Lijiazhuang to the room beside him to rest. After arranging two young people to be guarded, Liu Ergou also took the other three young people to the Arrow Tower to set off for guarding. As for Li Zhu after cleaning up the bandits in the village, Deng Chenggong sent him back to report the news. At the same time, Li Zhu and the villagers in charge of guarding the village will escort the bandits back to the village after dawn. No matter what, there is still a certain risk to put such a group of bandits in Lijiazhuang.

Deng Chenggong, who had arranged everything, walked behind Xu Mingyuan and untied the rope that bound him, pointed to a wooden chair in the hall and said, "Sit down!"

Xu Mingyuan thanked him without hesitation, slowly sat on the chair with great pleasure. After both of them sat down, Deng Chenggong asked: "I think the second leader seems to be a little different from the bandits in this copycat. If I was not wrong, you should have read a lot of books, right?"

When Xu Mingyuan heard this question, he twitched: "Yes, before going up the mountain, Xu had studied for the second year at Yan University."

Although Deng Chenggong guessed that Xu Mingyuan should be a cultural person, he never expected that the guy in front of him was actually a student of Yan University. You should know that the college students these days and the college students of his own age were all in the sky and in the middle. In the words of later generations, this is really a "rare" thing!

‘Why did the second in command go up the mountain to become this hated bandit?’

This problem seemed to touch Xu Mingyuan's sadness. After a moment of pause, Xu Mingyuan talked about the reason why he went up the mountain to become a bandit. In this day, it was a very common thing. That is, Xu Mingyuan originally had a very happy family in the eyes of people in this era. It was just that a sister from the sky caused a surprise attack on a local garrison commander. When he came to the door to propose marriage, he suddenly robbed the troops.

The consequence is that Xu Mingyuan's sister was hanged herself after being insulted, while Xu Mingyuan's parents were beaten one after another and failed to succeed. After hearing the news, Xu Mingyuan rushed back from Yan Da, he was furious and assassinated the commander but failed. In order to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, he had to go into the mountains to become a bandit. Perhaps because of his respect for cultural people these years, Xu Mingyuan, who was powerless, suddenly changed from an ordinary tent clerk to a second-in-command of the village in just two or three years as a bandit, and could be called the top one and everyone.

After listening to this slightly sad and bloody story, Deng Chenggong also understood that when encountering such a thing, as long as there is still a heat in his chest, he would find such enemies who will destroy his family to avenge him. It’s a pity that in this era, he met those officers Qiu Ba who held military power, and he was also a security commander considered by the National Party government. Xu Mingyuan’s revenge is afraid that it will be difficult to avenge!

Looking at Xu Mingyuan with tears in his eyes, Deng Chenggong used some unauthorized means to tempt him: "Will Mingyuan never think about taking revenge?"

Xu Mingyuan said angrily: "How could he never think about it? It's just that the guy has guards every time he goes out. I am a scholar who has no power and no power backing. What can I do with him?"

Deng Chenggong ignored Xu Mingyuan's glare and said, "Then if I have a way to avenge you, how are you going to repay me?"

Although Deng Chenggong knew that it was a bit unauthentic to repay such thoughts, he finally met a talented person who had studied in college in this era and could not fly out of his hands. You must know that a talented person of a college student may bring unexpected help to him in the future. In this regard, Deng Chenggong could also ask himself how to do it, not to mention that there are many people who have worked hard to repay kindness these days. He can't say anything else. At most, he can only think that Deng Chenggong is a bit unauthentic.

Hearing that Deng Chenggong had the ability to avenge him, Xu Mingyuan jumped up from the chair and said, "As long as you can avenge me this bloody revenge, what's the point even if you sell my life to you."

Regarding Xu Mingyuan's anxiousness, Deng Chenggong waved his hand and said, "If I avenge you just to make your life, it would be a bit unworthy. I know that taking advantage of the situation like this is a bit unauthorized, but you are a talent, and I don't want your talents to be wasted. What's more, I should do something in the future, and it's always a problem to have no talent under my command. Let's say this! If I can avenge you, then I hope that you must be loyal to me with the heart of life. Of course, this loyalty is based on my not doing things that harm the will of heaven. You should understand it if you say this?"

He tried his best to make his plans obscure, but Xu Mingyuan still knelt down sincerely and clasped his fists and said, "Xu Mingyuan has seen the great master. As long as the great master can avenge Mingyuan this deep hatred, Mingyuan vowed not to betray him in his lifetime, and if he had two hearts, heaven and earth were destroyed."
