In the meeting hall of Pingyuan County, the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
"The Black Mountain Thieves still dare to come knocking on my door.”Zhang Fei exploded.
Meng Yi did not find it strange at all. Even when Zhang Fei was facing an enemy several times stronger than him, he would often shout that he wanted to stab a few holes in them.
"Of course not. They're just mere Black Mountain Bandits.”Meng Yi teased.
"Advisor Jun, tell me quickly. I can't wait to take care of these little brats.”Zhang Fei could not stand Meng Yi's attitude and immediately could not help but shout.
Meng Yi secretly laughed in his heart. He really wasn't afraid of anything. However, this was just right.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed after the two of them made a scene.
Logically speaking, since Liu Bei wasn't here, Guan Yu should be the one in charge of Pingyuan County. However, since Guan Yu didn't say anything, Meng Yi naturally had the final say.
Everyone knew that Meng Yi was the military advisor. Sometimes, even Liu Bei had to listen to him.
"General Guan, what do you think?" Meng Yi smiled.
"A mere Black Mountain Thief dares to come here? I'll make sure they never return.”As soon as Guan Yu said that, there were also people who expressed their opinions.
Some people even said.
"I think we should report this to Jizhou first, then defend the city and wait for the county magistrate to return.”
When he said this, Meng Yi thought that it was no wonder that Jian Yong only had the ability of a third-rate military counselor. His ability was indeed not great.
As expected, everyone's eyes were fixed on Meng Yi.
Meng Yi said lightly," Guan Yu, you and Guan Chun will be in charge of guarding the city. The city walls of Pingyuan County are low. I think we should bring back the thousands of men outside. I plan to go to Chang Mountain with Zhang Fei to check out the situation."”
"Military Advisor, you can't. The county magistrate said that we must protect Mister's safety.”Jian Yong said anxiously.
"Advisor Jun, I think it's better if I go.”When Guan Yu heard that Meng Yi wanted to go to such a dangerous place, how could he do that? If Liu Bei found out, what would he do?
"Don't worry, I won't go if I'm not confident.”Meng Yi smiled.
Actually, Meng Yi wanted to take a look at it and then go find Zhao Yun to subdue her.
"Then, Military Advisor, bring more soldiers. I'll bring all five thousand of our Pingyuan Army with you.”Guan Yu suggested.
This was naturally rejected by Meng Yi.
In the end, Guan Yu and Jian Yong couldn't persuade him any further, so they let him go. Before that, they even instructed Zhang Fei several times to ensure Meng Yi's safety.
On the official road in the north of the plains, Meng Yi and Zhang Fei had changed into coarse clothes. Meng Yi had even found a cloth to wrap his head with. He held a large knife in his hand and used Overlord Steps. As he walked, his shoulders swayed back and forth. The movement was so great that it scared the passers-by into hiding far away. It was obvious that these two people were not good people.
"I say, Military Advisor, you asked me to protect you with a big knife. How twisted. Why don't you let Second Brother follow you? He's an expert in using knives.”Zhang Fei started to complain.
"Your second brother, that long bearded and red faced man, was recognized before he even reached Chang Mountain.”
"That's true. Second Brother is like that." "You mean I look like a thief?" Zhang Fei suddenly glared.”
"Hehe, won't you know when you see for yourself?”Meng Yi smiled.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm only responsible for protecting your safety.”Zhang Fei looked helpless.
"Eh? Look at the person in front." Meng Yi pointed at a person on the street.
"What's wrong?"
"That must be a bandit. Do you believe me?”Meng Yi was very confident.
"I don't believe you." Zhang Fei looked closer and said,"This is just an ordinary farmer. How can a bandit look so honest?"”Zhang Fei was right. That guy did look ordinary and honest.
"Then what should a thief like you look like?”
"Bandits usually have a full beard, a burly body, and a murderous aura to scare people. No, why does it seem like it's me? Could it be that I, Old Zhang, really look like a bandit?”
"Haha." Meng Yi finally couldn't hold back his laughter. Zhang Fei came over and asked,"Ah, Military Advisor, you brought the wine from that day.”
The reason why Zhang Fei followed them out was to drink.
"Don't. What if you get drunk later?”
" What's there to be afraid of? I won't get drunk even after drinking a thousand cups," Zhang Fei muttered.
Meng Yi had already shouted to the person in front of him,"Brother, give me ten thousand." Meng Yi shouted.
That person turned around and looked at Meng Yi and the other man,"Side by side, Lord Zeng on the line."
So he really was a thief. Lord Zeng meant thief.
"We are from Silver Mountain." Meng Yi said.
Zhang Fei saw that they didn't understand a word for a long time, so he simply sat at the side to rest.
"Silver Mountain? Since when did the Silver Mountain have brothers on the Dao?”That person obviously did not believe it. This silver mountain was a mountain, but it was actually similar to a mound of earth. Even if one occupied a mountain to be king, no one would occupy such a mountain.
" To tell you the truth, my brother and I were bullied by the scholars. My third brother had a bad temper and killed them in a fit of anger. Now, Eagle Claw Sun is looking for us everywhere, so we hid on the silver mountain for a few days," Meng Yi said, pretending to be pitiful. In today's world, this kind of thing happened every day and they were used to it.
"Don't worry, brother. Now that the Chief has gathered many brothers from the underworld in Chang Mountain, you just need to pay your respects to the sect and you won't have to be afraid of Ying Zhao Sun.”The Thief comforted Meng Yi.
"Is that so? Why was the Chief gathering people in Chang Mountain?”
The man said,"I heard that they are going to attack Liu Bei, so all the brothers from the eight counties and four countries of Jizhou have come."
"Eight counties and four kingdoms, how many brothers would that take?”Meng Yi asked.
"That's hard to say. Just the eighty-two villages in the five directions of the Black Mountain alone have more than a hundred thousand brothers. There are also many brothers in the Jizhou region. There should be more than a hundred thousand brothers."
"Why are there so many? Could it be that he lied to scare Liu Bei?”Meng Yi began to probe.
"Lie? It seems that you haven't been in the Dao for long. No wonder you don't know. Excluding the Black Mountain Army, there are thirty-six villages in Jizhou. There are more than ten thousand people and less than a few thousand people. Many commoners farm during the day and become thieves at night. There are also lone travelers. Even if they add up to 100,000, they can't defeat them.”
Meng Yi felt that it was getting more and more interesting. He remembered that this was an era where thieves were everywhere. Zhang Yan was also the leader of the thieves. With a stomp of her foot, Jizhou would shake three times.
At this moment, Zhang Fei came over and said,"Military Advisor, were you a bandit in the past? You still know this?" Code words?"
