Chapter 22 Captain
After resting for half a day, Fu An led a few people out and summoned several other groups of bad people.

The next day, the pursuers behind them were probably temporarily withdrawn, and most of the troops finally gathered together again.

During this period, Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue changed into Xuanming Sect's clothing again and went to the nearest town to buy a batch of medicinal materials to treat the seriously injured. At the same time, they also took the opportunity to find out the news outside and learned that in such a short period of time, a wanted list had been posted, so that the troops in various towns were on guard to capture this group of former Tang rebels who were still roaming around.

"Send the scouts farther away. Don't try to save trouble. Send out one group from each side, with three miles as the boundary."

Outside the wooden house, Liu Cheng and Fu An each selected some people who still had plenty of energy and spread them out in all directions to act as the eyes of the team.

All around them, the surviving mounts gathered in a circle, eating the little horse feed mixed with the salt grains bought by Xiao Yan, which would help them recover their strength as quickly as possible.

There were seriously injured people lying in the room, and the copper pot used for boiling medicine was placed outside. From time to time, bad guys wearing bamboo hats came out hurriedly, took the medicine from Ji Ruxue, and gave it to the people in the room to drink.

"The loss to the Yanzhou branch this time is not small."

Xiao Yan crouched in the snow, pointing at the blood-stained map on the ground and said, "What I am most worried about is that your identities in Yanzhou may have been exposed. It's okay in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, the Liang government will react and may harm the families of some brothers."

"It's not impossible."

Fu An scratched his messy hair and frowned, "Thirty years have passed, and many people have started families to hide their identities as bad guys. This time, many people have not had time to settle down their families."

"Hey, we don't have so many concerns." Liu Cheng smiled and said, "The Liang people have long wanted to destroy my village. This time we came out to avoid disaster."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"No matter what, we have to buy more time."

"What should Xiao Lang do?"

Although the young man in front of him looked young, his strength was there after all, and everyone could see it, and no one disregarded his opinion.

"I want to go back to Caozhou..."

Xiao Yan rubbed his palms, wanting to present the plan to the others, but someone rushed out of the wooden house and called out, "The old man has woken up. He heard that the young master saved everyone and wants to see him."

Fu An and Liu Cheng looked at each other, then followed Xiao Yan into the wooden house.

The injuries of the more than ten injured people in the room were quite serious. Most of them were still hanging on thanks to the "healing" consciousness implanted by Xiao Yan, but the serious injuries on the physical level could not be easily cured.

Several bad guys who were familiar with them stood nearby, silent.

These people were all from the eighth generation of the Bad People, and they were all elderly. Xiao Yan nodded to them, crouched beside the old man, and asked in a gentle voice: "Senior, how do you feel now?"

The old man's organs were slightly damaged. Now that he was able to wake up, he had escaped the most dangerous situation. At this moment, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of Liu Cheng and Fu An, and then fell on Xiao Yan, and said hoarsely: "This time, it was me who harmed everyone..."

"You can't blame me, Senior. The Xuanming Cult has the Bad Flag, and they found a way to contact the Bad People from the documents. It's hard for them to fall into their trap."

"Where is the Bad Flag now?"

Xiao Yan took the scroll out of his arms and said, "I have taken it back."

The old man fixed his eyes, and then lowered his voice a little: "I just heard them say that the captain..."

"Yes, he and Uncle Lin could have rescued the emperor, but they were betrayed by a traitor and murdered."

"After all, nearly thirty years have passed..."

The old man took a breath, with some sadness in his eyes, and then struggled to get up.

Xiao Yan then helped him sit up.

The old man looked at his seriously injured colleagues in the wooden house, his eyes dimmed. Then he looked at Fu An and Liu Cheng and asked, "Do you know how many people have been killed so far?"

"There are probably nearly a hundred people."

Fu An said in a deep voice: "There are still more than ten people whose traces have not been found, so they should be counted in as well." The old man was a little sad.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan comforted everyone and said, "The Liang bandits' evil plan failed, and many of their men were killed or injured. They should be even more furious."

As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed it.

"That's right! Although we didn't rescue the emperor, we did kill a lot of people yesterday. It was satisfying!"

"Out of the five Yama Lords of the Xuanming Sect, two were killed by this young man. How can this not make us feel better!?"

All the talents felt a little relieved.

At the same time, Fu An said to the old man and several other older members of the Eighth Generation of Outlaws, "My fellow seniors, now that the captain has unfortunately passed away and the branch is leaderless, shouldn't we nominate a captain to report to the headquarters as soon as possible?"

The old man and several other old men looked at each other, then smiled bitterly and said, "We old men don't have much ability, I'm afraid we have to elect one from among you..."

"Why choose again?"

At the door, Liu Cheng and several young bad guys said in unison as if they had planned it in advance: "This is almost the first time for everyone to meet each other. We are not familiar with each other yet, and we don't know each other's abilities. But Xiao Xiaolangjun is the son of the captain, and his abilities are obvious to all. He should be the one to lead the flag."

Fu An scratched his messy hair and said with a smile: "That's what I meant, but no matter what, I still have to discuss it with the seniors."

The old man hesitated and looked at Xiao Yan, who showed no unusual expression.

"But as far as I know, the young master is not a bad person..."

"It's okay. Xiao has long been yearning for the bad people of the Tang Dynasty, but my father never told me more."

Xiao Yan stood up and said calmly: "But this disaster was caused by my father, so I should bear the responsibility. If I can gain everyone's trust and the support of the seniors, I will lead everyone to break through the siege. What is there to be afraid of!?"

"it is good!"

Liu Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Xiao Lang's strength is obvious to all. I, Liu, am convinced!"

The people around also spoke in unison.

"Yes, although I have never seen the captain, a tiger father will have a dog son. What's wrong with giving Xiao Lang the title of Tian Anxing?"

"We, the Bad Men, have never feared death. What we lack is a passionate leader like Xiao Lang. When we, the Bad Men, return to the martial world, we will definitely purge the traitors and kill them all!"

"Kill him and let his head roll!"

The atmosphere inside and outside the wooden house suddenly became excited. Even Ji Ruxue, who had been busy decocting medicine, looked over curiously.

Although the old man and others were a little old, they were also infected by the enthusiasm of these young people at this time. They had no reason to object, so they bowed to Xiao Yan.

"I wish to honor Xiao Lang as the captain!"

Until the end, except for the scouts who had not returned yet and the injured who had not yet woken up, everyone knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and clasped their hands.

"The Bad People's Yanzhou branch greets the new captain!"

Xiao Yan stood in the middle of the wooden house, looking up at the figures inside and outside. Except for him and Ji Ruxue, everyone else was kneeling on the ground.

Ji Ruxue looked at him, her eyes full of encouragement.

Xiao Yan then spread out the Bad Flag and said in a deep voice: "Since I have gained your trust, from now on -"

"I will be the dark star in the sky of the bad man."
