"Brother, do you think Wang Yue will really keep his word and give us enough tax revenue every year
He won't use us and then abandon us, will he? "
The third voice sounded cunning.
"Hey, Wang Yue is a man of great wealth and power, with five sons.
If he keeps his promise in the future, then we can keep out of each other's way and go our separate ways.
If he dares to break the contract, then his wives, concubines and children might be reduced by two at any time. I don't think he has the courage to do that!!!"
The leader of the yellow-clothed bandits, Zhang Hua, spoke up.
Hearing their conversation, Ye Li and the other two looked at each other, and a hint of anger appeared on Qian San's face.
He had already understood that Wang Yue had colluded with these yellow-clothed bandits.
As for the reason for their collusion, it was made very clear in their words: it was because of Ye Li's existence.
Obviously, Wang Yue's purpose in asking Ye Li to eliminate the Yellow Bandits was to send the three of them to the mountain to be killed by the Yellow Bandits. Although the three of them knew that Wang Yue was not an easy person to deal with, they did not expect that the other party would use part of the annual tax revenue to bribe the Yellow Bandits.
Now the three heads have gathered in the house. Ye Li can feel the strength of the eldest head Zhang Hua. It is not the Void God Stage as they know but the Condensed Spirit Stage.
Ye Li had completely understood what Wang Yue's conspiracy was. It was to make them misjudge the boss's strength and be defeated by him in the end.
However, Wang Yue's biggest mistake was misjudging Ye Li's strength. Ye Li didn't care whether Zhang Hua was in the Void God Stage or the Condensed God Stage. In his eyes, there was almost no difference between these two realms.
After Ye Li winked at the two of them, he reached out and opened the window above his head, then jumped in through the window.
Qian San and Ding Si followed closely behind Ye Li and jumped into the house.
The three people in the room never thought that someone would invade. They were eating meat and drinking, and they were stunned for a moment and found three people standing next to them.
"Who...are you!!!"
The boss Zhang Hua was a little confused. Were all the guards in the camp dead? How could an outsider jump into their house
"You were talking about me, so how come you didn't recognize me?"
Ye Li had unknowingly walked in front of Zhang Hua, looking down at him who still had no time to get up from the chair.
Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Well, it seems that our mission this time should be easy to complete, since you actually came to me on your own initiative.
To be honest, I admire your courage. At such a young age, you dare to venture into such a dangerous place. I think I can't do it.
Don't worry, Wang Yue only wants the lives of the two people around you, your life can still be saved!!!
You have earned a lot of money for us brothers, so we would like to thank you in private. We will give you a glass of wine later, and you must drink it all!!!"
Zhang Hua had a smug look on his face, looking at Ye Li and jokingly saying, as if he was sure of winning.
Ye Li looked at him with amusement and said, "Is this place also considered a den of dragons and tigers? There should be a limit to how much you can flatter yourself.
A bunch of maggot-like bandits dare to call themselves dragons and tigers!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, the smile on Zhang Hua's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a vicious look, and said: "Although Wang Yue said that you can't kill, he didn't say that we can't torture you.
I will kill the two people around you first, then tie you up and whip you with a barbed whip all night, and then I will see if you still have the courage to say what you just said."
Ye Li was naturally indifferent to the other party's threats. He just smiled with a sarcastic look and said, "What do you think your chances of defeating us are? Is it your cultivation level at the early stage of the Concentration Stage?"
Hearing Ye Li pointing out his cultivation level, Zhang Hua's expression changed and he couldn't help but look at the three people carefully.
He couldn't tell the cultivation level of the three people, but he could vaguely sense that Qian San and Ding Si's realms were probably not as good as his, and their aura was even weaker than his.
But he couldn't clearly explain what Ye Li's realm was.
Because in his feeling, Ye Li seemed like an ordinary person and had no cultivation at all.
But judging from the way Ye Li sneaked into their house so easily just now, the other party obviously could not be an ordinary person.
"Zhang Hua, right? You already know that I am the lord of Dongfang County. Everything here was awarded to me by His Majesty the Emperor. I am the master of this land under your feet.
I had no control over your evil deeds here in the past, but from now on, no bandits will be allowed to appear in my territory.
As for you guys, if I let you go, you will definitely cause trouble everywhere, so I will give you a choice, let you become my private army, what do you think?"
Ye Li's eyes pierced Zhang Hua's eyes like a sharp sword, making him tremble involuntarily and want to accept Ye Li's proposal.
Zhang Hua shook his head violently, and immediately reacted. He slapped the table and stood up, roaring, "You bastard, you actually want to surrender us, you really don't take us yellow-clothed bandits seriously.
Do you think that just because the emperor has appointed you as the master of Dongfang County, you are really our master
You don't even have a single soldier under your command, and you want to fight us with just two guards. You really look down on us!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to attack Ye Li. However, just as he raised his hand to grab Ye Li's neck, he felt a tightening on the back of his neck, as if a pair of large hands were firmly pinching it.
When he shook his head and looked at Ye Li again, the figure of Ye Li who had just stood in front of him had disappeared, but the voice appeared behind his head.
"I really don't take you seriously. If I wasn't in a hurry to form a private army, I might not want to use you.
I will give you one last chance now. If you are willing to join me, I can let you be an officer in my private army. You will then be able to get rid of your identity as a bandit and become a government official.
If you are unwilling to serve me, then I can only kill you and then ask your two brothers one by one to see if they are willing to surrender with the Yellow Bandits. "
As he spoke, Ye Li finally released his aura. The oppressive force of the late Divine Phase was like a mountain, which instantly made the second and third in command, who were about to take action, feel weak in their legs and almost fall to their knees.
