Chapter 1326 A bad start
Although it has already entered winter, Jingnan is located in the south of the Yangtze River after all, and the woods outside the city are still lush and green. If it weren’t for the maple leaves that dye the sky red in the woods, it would be really impressive. Suddenly there is an illusion of being in midsummer.
Zhu Pingan followed the enchantress Ruonan into the woods. He was not nervous or worried at all. Instead, he was admiring the early winter woods with a contented look on his face. His eyes wandered around the woods and he made one or two comments from time to time.
“Yam mushrooms and bamboo shoots, yes, you can pick some and take them back when you go back. Mountain mushrooms can be stewed in soup, and bamboo shoots can be fried in bacon. I really miss the taste of my childhood.”
Zhu Ping'an was surprised to find a lot of fungi and bamboo shoots in the woods, and couldn't help turning his head and said to the demon girl Ruonan.
"Foodie." The enchantress Ruonan rolled her eyes and snarled with disdain.
“Don’t worry, young master, we will leave the matter of collecting mushrooms and bamboo shoots to us.” Liu Da Dao slapped his chest loudly from behind. They were hunters, and they were not interested in collecting mushrooms, digging bamboo shoots, or catching fish and trapping rabbits. It couldn't be more familiar.
After walking a few hundred meters into the woods, we arrived at the meeting place, where about eighty masked bandits were waiting.
Every one of them had bare arms and was holding a variety of things, such as butcher knives, spears, and axes, probably to show their fierceness and ferocity. There were even a few bandits holding short swords. Put the blade to his lips, stick out his tongue and lick it a few times.
Zhu Pingan concluded from this scene that the weapons in their hands were not quenched, otherwise they would not dare to lick it.
"I have met all of you heroes." Zhu Pingan smiled and took the lead in greeting them.
"Humph, son of the magistrate, what do you want to see us for?!" Hu Laosan patted the grass clippings on his buttocks, arrogantly stretched out his finger and tapped Zhu Ping'an, and said, "Don't do it in your mouth." Jing asked.
"How presumptuous! You are the one who can guide and arrange the county honor?! Why don't you kneel down when you see the county honor?!" Liu Mu shouted.
Liu Mu has followed Zhu Ping'an for a long time. He has killed Japanese pirates in the city and worked as a head catcher in the county government. He has dozens of government servants under his command. Now he is a small flag official. Not long ago, he went to the capital to deliver secret packages. I have seen the world. This loud shout was naturally full of momentum. Hu Laosan was stunned by Liu Mu on the spot.
"It's okay, no need to be polite." Zhu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand.
"I didn't say I wanted to salute you." Hu Laosan muttered while holding his neck, trying to save the situation that Liu Mu had just been stunned by.
"Hu Lao San, are you itchy?!" The demon Ruo Nan glared at Hu Lao San hard.
“It’s really a bad choice for a girl to stay in. How long has it been since the young master’s family went to the dog official’s house? His elbows are already turned outward.” Hu Laosan was scolded by the demon Ruonan and couldn’t help but shrink his neck. , muttered quietly, and although he lowered his voice, almost everyone present heard it.
"Hu Laosan, what are you talking about?! If you talk nonsense again, I will cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"
The demon Ruonan suddenly blushed and became sullen. The fish dagger suddenly appeared in her hand, and the tip of the knife was pointed at Hu Laosan.
"Shut up, shut up." Under the threat of the demon Ruonan, Hu Laosan suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.
“Young Master?!”
Zhu Pingan captured this information from Hu Laosan’s words and couldn’t help but look at the demon Ruonan. Unexpectedly, this demon girl turned out to be the young master of the village. It's really surprising. No wonder the efficiency of transmitting messages is so high. No wonder on the way here, you dared to risk your life to ensure that my trip was safe.
“Why, it’s not possible?” The demon girl Ruonan raised her head and did not deny the fact about the young master’s family.
"How dare you, young master, you are disrespectful and disrespectful?" Zhu Ping'an smiled and bowed his hand to the demon girl Ruonan.
The enchantress Ruonan snorted, then twisted her waist and walked up to a strong man. She pointed at Zhu Pingan and introduced the strong man, "Dad, here, he is the Jingnan Magistrate Zhu Pingan I told you." . Oh, I’m about to go to be appointed as the Inspector of the Fifth Grade.” Everyone was shocked. They originally thought that Zhu Ping'an was just a seventh-grade county magistrate, but they didn't expect that he was actually a fifth-grade punishment official. Fifth rank, what an official this must be, and he’s still so young!
Of course, Zhu Pingan was also shocked. Zhu Ping'an looked at the strong man in front of the demon Ruonan and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. Such a rough man with a big body, a heavy back, a slovenly beard, and an average appearance could actually give birth to a daughter as delicate and beautiful as the demon Ruonan? !
This contrast is a bit big. If a witch is a man, he will grow up, which perfectly offsets his father's inheritance. The mother of Demon Girl Ruonan must be very beautiful. With such a rough man, she can give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Demon Girl Ruonan.
"Nerd, this is my father, and he is also the head of our cottage." The demon girl Ruonan took the strong man's arm and introduced to Zhu Ping'an.
"I've met the boss." Zhu Pingan said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Well. I heard Ruonan say that you want to see me and want to recruit us to surrender?! I met you today just for the sake of Ruonan, my family. As for the recruitment, I advise you not to waste it. I have strength."
The strong man hugged Zhu Ping'an and said in a very cold tone, with a repulsive attitude.
“The boss is so straightforward, so I won’t hide it anymore. Yes, I am indeed here to recruit Anguizhai. Since I’ve already come, it doesn’t matter if I put in some effort. Give it a try, just in case you succeed." Hearing this, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said without any discouragement.
"What if it succeeds?! Oh, there is no such thing as a chance! We are roaring in the mountains and wilds. We are used to being unorganized and unaccustomed to restraint. We have stood for a long time and cannot bend down. We would rather stand and eat chaff. I don’t want to kneel down to eat meat and drink wine! I advise you to stop wasting everyone’s time and go back.”
The strong man snorted, looked up at Zhu Pingan impatiently, and said in disgust.
"That's it, hurry up and get out! For the sake of the young master's family, we will let you go! If you dare to complain again, even if we give the young master's family face, the guy in our hands may not even agree. "
"Go back! My old boss is right. It would be great for us to be bandits, roaming in the wilds, eating meat and drinking freely. The king of heaven can't compare to us in terms of wine and gold. Why should we accept your offer and become a court eagle? Isn't this just a crime? I can leave, but if I don’t leave, I won’t be able to leave.”
After the strong man finished speaking, a group of bandits waved their weapons and shouted in confusion. (End of chapter)
