Chapter 148

Hearing this, Bai'e Hu flushed and grabbed Xiexiezi's clothes and roared: "Are you still my son? You think about running when you encounter things, are you worthy of being this Young Boss?"

Even facing his father's anger, Xiexiezi did not retreat at all and responded loudly: "If they took my words as Young Boss to heart, how could such a thing happen?"

"I tell you, if a brother makes a mistake, a qualified big brother should go to cover for them, not escape!"

Bai'e Hu had never been so angry at Xiexiezi in his life, but at this moment he was very disappointed, not understanding why the child he taught didn't understand him.

But it concerned the lives of himself and his father, so Xiexiezi couldn't easily retreat.

"Menghuzhai doesn't need brothers who drop the chain at critical moments."

"Pa!"

Bai'e Hu couldn't help but slap Xiexiezi, and Xiexiezi fell to the ground, looking at his father in disbelief.

"If you want to escape, you can go alone. Menghuzhai was built by me with one hand. The one it doesn't need is you, not my brothers."

After saying this, Bai'e Hu turned and left angrily, without looking at Xiexiezi on the ground again.

Xiexiezi lay on the ground like this for a long time without moving.

The military advisor walked up to help Xiexiezi up after Bai'e Hu went out, and said anxiously: "Young Boss, don't be angry with the Big Boss! You know the Big Boss's temperament, he is just..."

Xiexiezi sat up on the ground and waved his hand at the military advisor: "I know, he just wants to use this way to drive me away!"

The military advisor was stunned, not expecting the Young Boss to really understand the Big Boss's thoughts.

"He is my dad, how can I not understand him?"

Xiexiezi touched his swollen face. The slap was really heavy, without half a drop of water.

Since his mother died, Bai'e Hu hadn't hit him, and hadn't even said a heavy word.

Once upon a time, his family was also a farming family digging for food in the fields, and later because of the tight life, they had to become bandits. Even so, Bai'e Hu was still very good to him. If he wanted to read, he would rob books for him. If there was no teacher to teach, he would rob a teacher.

That teacher was the military advisor of Menghuzhai now. He learned a lot from the military advisor and knew that he had no chance to take the imperial examination with such a background.

So he picked up the knife like Bai'e Hu and started to be the Young Boss, and also started to rob houses.

He changed from a scholar who hadn't even killed a chicken to a mountain bandit with blood on his hands. He had always been very principled, restraining the brothers under his command from bullying ordinary people, and even more so from raping women.

Only robbing those merchants, landlords, or government people, perhaps only in this way could he feel that he was a chivalrous person, and it was not in vain to read sage books for a few days.

Now reality told him that a mountain bandit is a mountain bandit, never a chivalrous person, let alone a hero!

But Xiexiezi could not care about others, but Bai'e Hu was his dad, so how could he watch his dad go to die?

Bai'e Hu knew it like a mirror, and he also knew that this trip was ominous, but he still had to go.

Not only to save the brothers caught in the city, but also to let the remaining people see that I, Bai'e Hu, am still your big brother, and you didn't follow the wrong person!

Of course, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his cub, so there was the scene just now.

It was just that Xiexiezi knew him too well and completely guessed his thoughts.

The military advisor stood on the side at a loss. He knew he couldn't persuade the Big Boss, but would the Young Boss listen to him?

At this moment, Bai'e Hu walked to the front of the mountain stronghold, looked at the low-spirited brothers, and shouted: "Brothers, the Ziyun City County Magistrate has released words that he will behead my Menghuzhai brothers the day after tomorrow."

A group of people stopped the work in their hands and all looked at Bai'e Hu, waiting for his next arrangement.

"As long as it is a brother who enters the mountain stronghold, I have said one sentence to him!! We share happiness together, and we carry things together!"

The veins on Bai'e Hu's head bulged, and the roar gushed out from his throat.

"So! I, the first one, will not agree to kill my Menghuzhai brothers!!!"

Dozens of people seemed to find their backbone again and roared in unison: "Don't agree! We don't agree either!"

Seeing this, Bai'e Hu simply and directly ordered: "Prepare and rest, eat and drink enough! The day after tomorrow, rush the city!! Dry him upside down!"

There was no gorgeous speech, only a few short sentences, but it showed his determination to everyone.

Xiexiezi leaned behind the wall and listened to this. He knew he could no longer stop his father.

If he had known, he wouldn't have left when he was in the city, and directly fighting the guards head-on might have had a chance of winning.

At that time, Bai'e Hu was also confused and subconsciously chose to believe the words of Xiexiezi and the military advisor. If there was another time, he would definitely stay in the city and kill his way out with his brothers.

Now wanting to attack the city gate and rob the execution ground with only dozens of people, Xiexiezi didn't know how to win this battle.

Bai'e Hu returned to the room and saw Xiexiezi leaning against the wall with a depressed look, deliberately raising his tone: "Why are you still here? Pack your things and get out for me, it's annoying to see you."

Xiexiezi didn't speak and turned to leave.

After Xiexiezi left, Bai'e Hu let out a breath, and for a moment he seemed to have lost his spirit, saying to the military advisor: "Military advisor, this child is troublesome for you!"

"Big... Boss, actually..." The military advisor wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bai'e Hu waving his hand.

"I know what you want to say, but I can't leave. If I leave, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life!"

The military advisor didn't persuade him anymore, followed the direction Xiexiezi left, stopped after walking out of the door, turned around, and clasped his fists: "I wish the Big Boss all the best!"

Xiexiezi was packing his luggage in the room, although he didn't say a word, his eyes were firm.

"Young Boss! Where are we going?" The military advisor followed and saw this scene, thinking that Xiexiezi had already found a place to stay, so he asked.

"Go to move reinforcements!" Xiexiezi responded in a deep voice.

"No one will help us, we are mountain bandits!"

How Menghuzhai walked step by step to today over the years, the military advisor knew better than anyone. They didn't have allies, let alone mountain strongholds that were on good terms.

"But I want to try. If the other party is willing to help, maybe there is still a chance." Xiexiezi grabbed all the silver notes and silver into his bundle. This was his entire family property.

"Who is the reinforcement the Young Boss is talking about?" The military advisor's eyes lit up. If the Young Boss really had some connections, maybe Menghuzhai wouldn't have to perish.

Xiexiezi carried the bundle on his back. This included all the silver notes and silver harvested this time, as well as the savings he had kept for many years.

Walking out of the room, Xiexiezi went straight to the horse circle, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air.

"Big Boss of Yangguangzhai!"

Hearing this, the military advisor hurriedly chased to stop him: "We are in Shuo Fang Jun, Yangguangzhai is in Guangwu Jun. By the time you arrive, everyone will be dead long ago!"
