2329 Lou Luo

Wangangshan.
The head of the lackeys was bound and stumbled into the Gathering Hall, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival crabs. Before even getting a clear view of the scene inside the hall, a loud roar was heard!
"Go in! Kneel down!"
With this loud shout, the lackey leader felt a sudden kick to his legs, causing him to immediately lose his balance and heavily kneel down on the dusty ground. The pain made him grimace, rendering him unable to speak for a while!
"General! The bandit leader has arrived!"
The soldier who brought him immediately changed his facial expression as he saw the head of the minions kneeling down, and with a slightly flattering tone, he reported to the general in the hall who had his hands behind his back, carefully surveying the surroundings.
No need to say, this general is none other than Cheng Yaojin, known as the Demon King!
At this moment, he has returned to the Wagang Village where he has been away for over a decade! Looking at everything familiar around him, his heart is filled with mixed emotions, with no time to pay attention to the few bandits he has captured.
Everything in front of me, Cheng Yaojin is so familiar!
Although in these years, Wugang Village has already fallen into ruins, let alone valuable things, even the tables, chairs, and stools inside have been taken away by the surrounding villagers!
However, from the only remaining sturdy pillars and tall plaques, one can still faintly see its former splendor.
"Back then, Brother Er sat here, right?"
With a complex gaze, Cheng Yaojin's eyes fell on an open space in front of the hall, as if he could once again see the scene of Zhai Dajia, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and others gathering together, feasting on large chunks of meat and drinking heavily!
Back then, those were such joyous days! In fact, even more joyful than him being a duke in this country now!
Unfortunately, now everything has changed!
Zhao Ran, Shan Xiongxin, and others have long passed away, and Li Mi, that treacherous person, also died out there!
As for people like Qin Shubao and Zhang Gongjin, they are also old and sick!
Now, the only ones still relatively active are myself, Li Ji, and a few others like Wei Zheng.
Even so, these veterans are no longer the same as they used to be. There is already a deep rift between them.
"General, the person has been brought here, should we drag them out and kill them?"
It's possible that Cheng Yaojin had been quiet for a long time, and another soldier cautiously approached and asked, "
Oh, is he occupying this place?"
This time, Cheng Yaojin finally reacted. He turned his head and glanced at the bound gang leader, casually asking, "Where are the others? Have they all been captured?"
"General Cheng Dong is still on the hunt! But I believe we will catch him soon!" The soldier laughed with a foolish grin.
Most of the men that Cheng Yaojin brought this time were the old members who had once escaped from Wagang Village. It's really unfortunate for these dumb thieves. Why would they come to Wagang Mountain? It's like walking with their eyes wide open, willingly falling into a pit!"
"Still trying to catch him?" Cheng Yaojin snorted in response. "Make it quick! If you can't even catch one person, and if you still haven't finished after burning a stick of incense, each of you will receive twenty lashes with the military rod!"
"Huh? Here!"
The soldier, who was feeling pleased with himself, immediately had his face fall upon hearing Cheng Yaojin's words. He thought to himself, "Did that stupid Cheng Dong fail to catch the person? What does it have to do with us?"
But he definitely wouldn't dare to say this in front of Cheng Yaojin, so he could only force a smile, respond, and then hurriedly run out. It seems that he has probably joined the ranks of those who are capturing people.
The night fell, accompanied by a series of angry shouts, screams, and begging for mercy. After the noisy village finally calmed down.
It was less than half an incense stick's time when Cheng Dong rushed into the hall while holding a knife. Translated:
"General, there were a total of thirty-two bandits, and all of them have been captured alive! Some of them were injured, but we have had no casualties on our side!"
Dropping to one knee, Cheng Dong solemnly reported the results of the battle to Cheng Yaojin. Translated content: "
What? All of my thirty-one brothers have been captured?
Hearing Cheng Dong's report, Cheng Yaojin, who hadn't responded much, knelt on the ground for a long time. However, the leader of the henchmen suddenly looked up, with a face full of disbelief, looking at this strong man beside him!
He originally thought that in such a dark night, his brothers, no matter what, would still be able to have a few to escape! It shouldn't have ended up with a complete annihilation of the whole army!
However, he didn't expect that not a single person from their group survived, they were all wiped out in one fell swoop!
"It's over! Everything is fucking over now! I can't even gather enough people for a farewell gathering. I have to go to the underworld and drink Meng Po's soup first!"
The boss of the lackeys stared blankly at Cheng Dong, feeling a mix of bitterness and helplessness. Especially when he thought of the heartbroken part, his eyes instantly became moist!
Before victory in battle, one dies; heroes weep for sorrow. The ancients were indeed not deceiving me!
"What is this? Crying?"
On the other side, when he saw tears in the eyes of the leader of the minions, Cheng Yaojin was also momentarily stunned. However, soon his face turned gloomy!
He is not angry that these lackeys have occupied this sacred place in his heart that once held countless memories!
He just can't help but feel disappointed seeing these people looking so pathetic and weak, a far cry from the heroic gathering of the past, with Single Second Brother, Qin Shubao, Xu Maogong, and the fame of the Forty-Six Friends resounding throughout the world.
"General, why don't we just kill them directly! It would save food for these useless wastes!"
Cheng Dong in the hall noticed the disgust in Cheng Yaojing's eyes and immediately stepped forward, placing a hand across his neck, making a gesture as if cutting it off.
"Mmm..."
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin pondered for a moment, about to nod in agreement!
Unexpectedly, the leader of the sobbing lackeys, who had tears all over his face, summoned the courage from somewhere and suddenly straightened his chest, yelling at Old Cheng. Reply: The leader of the lackeys unexpectedly found some courage and yelled at Cheng Yaojin who was about to agree.
Hold on! Today, I, as a man, admit defeat and have nothing to say! However, there is a reason behind every injustice, and debts have their owners! My brothers were deceived by me and followed me up the mountain. If you want to kill, then just kill me! Spare the lives of my brothers. Translation: "Hold on! Today, I, as a man, admit defeat and have nothing to say! However, there is a reason behind every injustice, and debts have their owners! My brothers were deceived by me and followed me up the mountain. If you want to kill, then just kill me! Spare the lives of my brothers."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing the roar of the leader of the lackeys, including Cheng Yaojin, everyone turned to look at him in surprise!
But they found that although this person was trembling in fear, the determination in his eyes was not fake at all.
This made Lao Cheng's opinion of this person rise slightly, from being a waste to half a waste.
"Deceive and go up the mountain?"
However, when it comes to the leader of the lackeys, Cheng Dong sneered and said, "You said they were deceived by you? Then, were the acts of killing, arson, and blocking the road also a result of being deceived by you?"
“谁杀人放火了！”喽啰头子浑身颤抖一下，红着眼睛朝程东吼道“我们杀谁了？我们明明还没来得及杀人！”
"You guys haven't killed anyone?" Cheng Dong frowned and looked at him suspiciously, asking, "If you haven't killed anyone, why come all the way to this Wagang Mountain?"Wangangshan.
The head of the lackeys was bound and stumbled into the Gathering Hall, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival crabs. Before even getting a clear view of the scene inside the hall, a loud roar was heard!
