Chapter Twelve: Beating People

  Pang Gang came out of the cave and looked around, then went to a place with dense grass, took out the "Modern Weapon Encyclopedia" from his chest, first flipped to the directory, found that except for iron ore 270 and wood 270, tungsten ore was still zero.

  He slowly turned the book to the section on cold weapons, specifically the crossbow category, and gazed at a colorful illustration of crossbow arrows. After carefully examining it, Pang Gang slowly moved his hand to one of the illustrations, took a deep breath, and slowly clicked on it...

  After Pang Gang left, the atmosphere in the cave was still very depressing. Li Xian and his son, as well as Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng, were all silent. After a while, they still didn't see Pang Gang return. After a long time, Da Zhuang couldn't help but push Gou Sheng with his hand, "Gouzi, why hasn't Zhangzi come back yet? Has something happened?"

  Gou Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, but didn't Gangzi just tell us to wait for him here when he went out earlier? Let's just wait a bit longer." After finishing speaking, Gou Sheng closed his eyes and remained silent.

  He shook his head helplessly, knowing that Dog Remnant was just like this, although he had a lively brain, but simply didn't love to talk.

  Li Yuan's lips moved slightly, just about to speak, but was glared back by his father Li Xian. It is clear that Li Xian had long understood what his somewhat rebellious son wanted to say, which is why he warned him in advance.

  Time slowly passed, the sun had already set at the foot of the mountain, and the sky was getting darker. Da Zhuang, who couldn't wait any longer, suddenly stood up and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Gou Sheng, who had been meditating with his eyes closed. "Where are you going?"

  "I'm going to find that little rascal, didn't he sneak off quietly again!" Da Zhuang's tone was clearly very impatient.

  "Da Zhuang, who did you say ran away?"

  A voice sounded at the entrance of the cave, and a tall figure quickly crawled in. It was Pang Gang who had been out for almost half an hour.

  As soon as Pang Gang entered, the people in the cave felt that there was something more about him now. Originally, he had a tall and sturdy build, and now he also wore a sharp curved knife at his waist. After entering the mountain cave, the narrow space made him appear even more majestic, with piercing eyes and a powerful stride, truly exuding an aura of grandeur.

  "After entering the cave, Pang Gang said in a low voice: 'Everyone can go out now, I'll take you to a place.'"

  Seeing him like this, everyone in the crowd felt a strange sensation rising up inside them. They couldn't connect the current Pang Gang with the person who had arrived at Ling Shan Wei just two days ago, whose face was still smeared with fresh blood and who looked terrified and uneasy.

  The dog's eyes flashed with a hint of light after which he didn't speak, but silently observed Pang Gang.

  Dazhuang was taken aback at first, then asked: "Gengzi, where are you taking us? The sky is not dark yet, if we're discovered by the bandits it won't be good."

  "I just saw that the enemy soldiers have all withdrawn, you don't need to worry!" Pang Gang said calmly, but with a firm tone.

  As soon as Pang Gang finished speaking, Li Yuan beside him said with a sarcastic tone: "Pang Gang, what do you mean? You've only been in our Wei camp for a few days and you think you can ride on our heads and command us?"

  Pang Gang looked at him slowly, a hint of disdain rising in his eyes. He said contemptuously: "You useless piece of trash who hasn't even grown pubic hair yet, if you don't dare to follow me then just say so, I won't force you."

  As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. How dare this guy say such a thing? Li Yuan, a 17-year-old youth, was suddenly stimulated by Pang Gang's words and his face turned bright red with incredulity, saying: "You're good, you've just arrived for a few days, how dare you speak to me like that! See if I don't beat you to death!"

  He was just about to go forward and give Pang a little show of his strength, but saw that Pang had taken a step forward and was coming at him with a punch.

  "Bang!" A loud noise, a fierce fist heavily hit Li Yuan's face, Li Yuan rolled over, his thin body flew out instantly.

  Li Yuan struggled to get up, his face and mouth full of blood, with several front teeth knocked out. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted in a sobbing tone: "You dare to hit me? Li Grandpa is going to fight you to the death today!"

  He was about to rush forward, but saw a foot shadow getting bigger and bigger in front of him. Pang Gang dodged sideways and kicked his shoulder with one foot. Li Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled over several times, and fell heavily to the ground like a sack, so painful that he couldn't even make a groaning sound, his whole body kept twitching.

  Pang Gang pointed at Li Yuan and scolded: "You bastard, since the day before yesterday when I came to you, you've been speaking coldly to me with all sorts of sarcastic remarks. I've tolerated you for a long time. Am I just going to let you bully me? Today I'll beat you to death!"

  Just as he was about to go up and hold Li Yuan's body, several voices rang out at the same time, "Don't!"

  Li Yuan's father rushed forward to protect his son, with tears streaming down his face, and begged: "Pang Xiaoge, my little beast doesn't understand things, it's me, the father, who didn't teach him well. Please don't hit him again, or someone will die. I'll apologize for him here."

  Pang Gang stopped in his tracks, looked at Li Xian's white hair and said faintly: "I'll let you off this time for the sake of Old Man Li. However, Old Man Li, you should also take good care of your son. Otherwise, when he loses his life, don't go crying injustice. Da Zhuang, Gou Sheng, if you're willing to follow me to kill the traitor, come over!" After that, Pang Gang turned around and walked out of the cave.

  Pang Gang let out a long sigh as he walked out of the cave, feeling more relaxed than ever after punching and kicking that rebellious teenager. This wasn't because Pang Gang had any psychological issues, but rather because since his unexpected arrival in this era, he had been suppressing himself for days, and these past two days had been particularly stifling. Now that he had a goal to work towards, he naturally regained his usual vigor and spirit.

  What's wrong with tomorrow? Can't Li Zicheng, Huang Taiji and Dorgon be touched? I'll bite you to death even if my teeth fall out!

  Stopping in front of a dense thicket, the sound of footsteps came from behind. Pang Gang slowly turned around and looked at the person who came and said: "Da Zhuang, Gou Sheng, have you both thought it through? Are you really going to go with me to kill the bandits?"

  "Anyway, I and Gou Sheng are both unencumbered, so it's all the same if we die. If we can avenge our fallen brothers before we go, that's even better."

  The dog remained taciturn and simply said, "We'll naturally go together."

  "Alright then, let's get ready to set off."

  "Not urgent, there's still someone who wants to go!" Gou Sheng pointed behind him with his hand.

  "Hmm!" Pang Gang nodded and looked in the direction he was pointing, but saw Li Xian and his son walking slowly towards this side.

  Li Xian walked up to Pang Gang, clasped his fists and said: "Pang young brother, this time we'll fight the enemy troops to the death. Although I'm not talented, I'm willing to join you in killing the enemy."

  Pang Gang glanced sideways at Li Yuan beside him, and this originally arrogant young man didn't dare to look straight into Pang Gang's eyes, apparently intimidated by Pang Gang.

  "If the old man really wants to kill the enemy with me, then he must agree to one thing. All of you must listen to my orders. If anyone can't do that, then please leave now!" Pang Gang said seriously, carefully observing the expressions of everyone present.

  "No problem, I'll listen to you." Da Zhuang, who was straightforward and had a frank personality, patted his chest in guarantee.

  "I'll do it for you!" said Doggie, who was as good as his word.

  "What about you?" Pang Gang turned his gaze to Li Xian and his son.

  "Pang Xiaoge, I'll listen to you, Grandpa and I promise not to drag you back." Li Xian hastily said as he saw Pang Gang's gaze shifting towards him.

  "What about you? Can you do it?" Pang's bright and spirited gaze turned to the young man standing beside Li Xian with his head hung low.

  Li Yuan heard Pang Gang's words and suddenly raised his head stubbornly, saying: "Of course I'll go! Although I can't beat you now, I'll still find my way back to this arena in the future. And I'll defeat you openly and honestly in front of everyone, just wait!"

  "Good, we'll wait for that day!" Pang Gang smiled lightly. He could naturally see that the young man was just speaking politely.

  Pang Gang coughed lightly and said, "Everyone follow me."

  He finished speaking and walked towards the back of the grass thicket, came to a grass thicket behind him and used his foot to open up the pile covered with wild grass, revealing a pile of things inside.

  "Hiss......" Everyone couldn't help but take a sharp breath after seeing what was in the bushes.
