Passing the Wheel (1)

Xingzhen County

Reverse Mountain

This mountain was nameless, and later there were thieves who came here to build a cottage against the captives, so it was called the rebel mountain by the people.

A few days ago, the Yamen of Xingzhen County received a message from the flying pigeon on the mountain:

Seven days later, the lord of the rebel mountain celebrates the full moon, and the banquet is not set up from time to time, and the thief is limited to the village, and the good progress can be besieged and killed.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Zhutou did not make a statement, but came to the residence of the county commander alone, and under his assurances and encouragement, the county commander finally agreed to send him only one catcher as the leader of the crackdown on bandits.

This is also of great benefit to the county order, the mountain has long been a cancer dormant next to Xingzhen County, for decades, in addition to the people of Xingzhen County, past merchants and tourists have not escaped the hands of these bandits.

On more than one occasion, the county's yamen organized personnel to carry out operations to suppress bandits, but with little success.

It is rare to have this good opportunity to arrest the owner of the rebel mountain, which is also a great achievement in terms of the county order.

However, this night raid is intended to be beheaded, and the pursuit of vigorous and resolute action will naturally not be sent to search the mountains quickly.

The number of selected and caught is almost thirty, all of them have been engaged in many years, and they know how to cooperate with each other.

Dressed in night raid clothes, everyone walked the mountain road as planned to avoid the first two checkpoints set up by the mountain.

"Keep up, keep your movements small, and don't be noticed by the thieves on the mountain. ”

Zhang Zhutou bowed forward, turned his head and whispered to the other catchers.

He knew that everyone had a lot of complaints about his plan for this night attack, and most people didn't think that this was the best time to go up the mountain. So what? When the mission is over, he will be the biggest contributor to this decapitation operation.

When the rest of the people died, they died, and then they went to the homes of those who died in the night attack, gave them pensions, and were able to earn the name of benevolence and righteousness.

Wouldn't it be nice to gain fame and fortune.

Zhang Zhutou turned around, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and pondered the taste of the old man in the Xiangxiang Pavilion, and his body reacted.

midnight

Zhang Zhutou raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, squatted down and peeled off the bark of the tree next to him with his hands, and could barely see a word engraved on it by the moonlight, and looked closer, it was an official.

This is the junction between the Rebel Mountain and the Yamen, and the next step will be led by the other party to lead the night attack team to smash the Yellow Dragon.

It's just that Zhang Zhutou didn't see the internal agent, and he noticed that the scrutinizing gaze behind him was slightly embarrassed, so he turned his head and wondered:

"Strange, what about people?"

"This can't be a trap, is it?" someone said aloud.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in high spirits and looked around vigilantly.

Zhang Zhutou raised his head and looked at the speaker, and scolded:

"Don't talk nonsense, eighty percent of the internal agent can't get out at this time, wait a while, and then disturb the army's heart, believe it or not, and behead you on the spot?"

"Huh. He sneered and said no more.

Zhang Zhutou snorted coldly and stood in place, but his heart was extremely empty.

When the fight starts, his three-legged cat's kung fu is sure to die.

The shadows of the trees swayed, the earth could not bear the dull wait and fell asleep, the night breeze caressed by, and the occasional nightingale sounded.

In the midst of the thirty catches, someone walked forward quickly.

In this world, most of the positions engaged in hunting are men, and women rarely choose such dangerous occupations as fighting thieves.

But there are always women who don't let the lord of the eyebrows, and in this Xingzhen County, there is a senior female catcher.

There is a female name to wish and the year of the flower letter.

Unlike ordinary women who love gold and silver jewelry, Zhu Zhu has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and he worships a senior martial artist as a teacher in the yamen.

However, the veteran warrior vanished one night, as if evaporating from the world. Zhu Zhu searched the entire county and suburbs, but he never found his enlightenment teacher.

However, among the thirty people who participated in the night attack, even Zhang Zhutou would not despise Zhu Zhu for his daughter.

The strength of that senior martial artist is bottomless, and Zhu Zhu, who is a disciple, is quite talented in martial arts, and it is said that he has inherited most of his skills.

When it comes to military exploits, Zhu Zhu is not inferior to Zhang Zhutou, but for some reason, the county commander does not intend to promote her prematurely.

If this task is successfully completed, then Zhu Zhu will take over the position of catching fast and become his most effective subordinate.

Seeing Zhu Zhu holding a knife in his left hand, he walked quickly, and Zhang Zhu asked quickly.

"What?"

The heroic Zhu Zhu shook his head, his posture remained tense, and said softly: "Something is wrong with the situation, what is written in the letter?"

Judging from the letters that have been circulated within us, today is the day of the greatest laxity of these thieves. Zhang Zhukuai didn't feel the danger, but felt that this right-hand man had been tired and too nervous recently.

The letter reads: Seven days later, the lord of the rebel mountain celebrates the full moon, and a banquet is not set up from time to time, and the thieves are limited to the village, and the good progress can be besieged and killed. ”

Everyone tasted this and felt that there was nothing wrong, which coincided with Zhang Zhukuai's thoughts.

Zhu Zhu raised his head, the thumb of his left hand was slightly forced, and with a bang, the silver light on the narrow knife flashed, and he held it in his hand.

"If the internal personnel of the yamen have already been controlled by the other party, if you look at the information, is there something wrong? ”

"Nonsense, Ben Kuai is the person in charge of this night raid. Zhang Yukuai yelled.

Zhu Zhu didn't pay attention to the other party's annoyance, but turned to look at the other twenty-nine people and explained:

"The inner detectives did not betray, even in danger they were still loyal to the Yamen, but some people were devoured by greed and did not think much about it, which led to the current crisis we are facing. Saying that, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhukuai, everyone was a senior catcher, so they naturally knew the meaning of the words, and their eyes on the team leader also changed.

"If there is no feast at the time, when you go, there is no feast. ”

"The thief is limited to the village, and if he goes to the limit, he is a thief in the village, but this entire rebel mountain can be regarded as the other party's cottage. ”

What he wants to convey is that seven days later, there was no banquet in the village, and the other party had an ambush, and the two words of each sentence were connected as: It is a trap, dangerous!"

"Shhh "Everyone can't help but worry that this event is too risky.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the words fell, a sharp long arrow shot out from the jungle not far away, and a burly catcher beside Zhang Yukuai was in the middle.

Before he could wail, the man fell down from the poison smeared on the arrows, pinched his neck with both hands, foamed at the blood in his mouth, rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and cried for his life.

"Whoosh!"

Another arrow shot out, brushing Zhang Kuai's hair and hitting the heart of Kuai's body.

Fallen to the ground, poisoned, hideous, and cut off from life.

What is to create fear, this is it.

The Rebel Mountain only prepared two poisonous arrows according to the adult's words, and there was no need for more at this moment, this fear was buried deep in the hearts of the Night Raider team, and it took root.

"Shoot!" An order was given, and the arrows rained down and covered everyone's positions.

Zhang Zhukuai couldn't hide the fear in his heart, and shouted:

"Run!"

In a hurry, several people were shot by arrows because they couldn't dodge, and the arrows pierced their hearts and died.

"Bunker! bunker!" Zhu Zhu commanded, and everyone hurriedly turned over and hid behind the tree trunk and slope, and they survived.

And Zhang Zhukuai ignored the others and ran frantically towards the bottom of the mountain.

Strange to say, the arrows always grazed past him, as if someone was controlling them.

Zhang Zhu didn't want to die, the dream of sealing his wife and shadow had not been completed, how could he be willing to give his life here.

Others, who are their own stepping stones, are now an opportunity to show their loyalty, and if they escape, they will have the opportunity to put incense on their graves.

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing sounded, and the ambush soldiers rose together, holding all kinds of blades and rushing towards the area where everyone was

"Bell!" the narrow knife was unsheathed, and Zhu Zhu used the knife to shoot the arrow that shot at him.

Seeing that the other party was approaching, he had to show up to face the battle, hoping to find an opportunity to take everyone away.

After a fierce battle, there were only seven people left in the night attack team, and the rebel bandits were still pouring up, and everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

The narrow knife went down, and Zhu Zhu shouted:

"Don't move, the more panicked these thieves are, the more proud they will be, and if they don't hold together at this time, they will be defeated by the other party one by one. ”

Maybe it was because Zhu Zhu had made remarkable achievements, or maybe Zhu Zhu had just rescued himself, and the remaining ten people calmed down, nodded, and said hello.

Zhang Zhuhai heard Zhu Zhu's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

If it's really a woman, it's extremely stupid, this kind of subordinate can't control it himself, so it's better to die here.

The bandit kung fu of the rebel mountain is not strong, every time the yamen sends people up the mountain to encircle and suppress, they see the figure, and when they encounter traps, they can't prevent it, which is extremely rare.

Zhu Zhu slashed out with a knife and forced back the front thief, but was restrained by the shoulders of the person behind him.

Fortunately, the others arrived in time to kill the latter and liberate Zhu Zhu.

The narrow knife pierced his heart, blood splattered everywhere, and half of Zhu Zhu's face was dyed red.

The seven of them gathered again, this time, each with scars on his body, and the red stained on his night clothes was both friend and foe.

A rustling sound sounded in the east, and everyone turned their swords to look at it, but no one appeared.

The next moment, Zhu Zhu inexplicably placed the narrow knife horizontally on his chest, the blade was outward, his toes were on the ground, and his body turned around, facing the back.

"Boom!"

When the people who came saw that they did not succeed in the blow, they were not greedy for war, and left quickly.

Although Zhu Zhu made a horizontal block in time, he was still disturbed by the qi and blood of the back of the knife, his face was pale, and the bloody qi in his throat became more and more intense.

With a long exhalation, Zhu Zhu let go of the handle of the narrow knife.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, this well-known narrow knife that had been circulating in the yamen for many years turned into countless silver fragments and fell to the ground one after another.

Zhu Zhu wiped his mouth and pulled out the dagger that was pinned to his waist.

"Why don't you pick up other people's narrow knives, because you think they are not worthy of you?" Zhu Zhu learned to hear and distinguish the position of the other party, but he couldn't lock the other party's position.

Under such a tense spirit, Zhu Zhu actually had the strength to smile and said:

"Depending on your style, you'll take a risk while I'm picking up a knife, and there's no real point in taking the risk."

"Then I promise you now, you can pick it up, whoever does it I will kill him, how?" The voice was very lazy, as if it were all his pawns, and he could manipulate the other party's life and death at will with just one thought.

To pick up or not to pick up.

Zhu Zhu bit her lip lightly, and before she could make a choice, the man threw out another heavy salute.

"Your leader's name is Zhang Qian, right? ”

With a plop, a figure fell from the sky in the open space in front of everyone.

Looking up, it was Zhang Qian who had left, Zhang Zhutou.

Zhu Zhu the six people behind him couldn't help but be angry when they saw this person again, if it weren't for his greed, he wouldn't have rushed up the mountain unprepared and fell into an ambush.

And this miscellaneous crumb chose to flee at the first time, and even blocked his compatriots in front of him.

"Don't worry. A lazy voice sounded, and the steps that the six people were about to take couldn't help but retract. Obviously, it is the seven of them who are now on the passive side.

"What do you mean by this?" Zhu Zhu asked, looking up.

"Huh. The man chuckled, "I sat down and lacked a few chess pieces, and I want to discuss relevant matters with you, and this person is a gift of goodwill, let you dispose of it, how about it?"

"You ......" Zhu Zhu wanted to refute the other party's wishful thinking, but saw the six people who were originally guarding behind him slowly walking in front of him, his pupils slightly dilated, and he understood their thoughts.

The six people stopped at the same time, turned around, and said with sincere eyes.

"Good luck catching us, we never doubted that you would look down on us, my brother was saved by you in the last mission, and his worship of you made me very jealous as an elder brother. Not so long ago, you saved us, and everyone admired you. ”

"But you know what, but no one wants to die, really, you have to live to accomplish something. For example, to make the debris in front of you suffer a lot of pain. ”

"Thank you. The six of them bowed to Zhu Zhushen, this bow, thanking each other for not giving up, and saying goodbye to the young man who had thought about fighting the sword rivers and lakes.

Zhang Zhutou was extremely frightened, a moment ago, he was still complacent about someone dying for him, suddenly lost consciousness with a tingling pain, and woke up again to find that he had appeared here.

"I'm a sinner, I'm sorry for you, it's me who is obsessed with money, it's me who is greedy for merit, it's my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't kill me!

Zhang Zhutou knelt on the ground, his hair was scattered, his face was full of tears, and he kowtowed desperately, how could he have the majestic appearance in the daytime.

"You also said just now, no one wants to die, survival is human nature, I will never dare next time, I can give up the position to you, I can do nothing, please let me go." ”

"Zhu Zhu, although I have been average to you for so many years, but a compatriot, how can you be so patient?"

Zhu Zhu Wenyan's lips opened slightly.

A man stepped forward quickly, kicked violently, and scolded:

"What are you doing to Zhu Zhu, I see it in my eyes, a few days ago I saw that you were still helping the county order to take a concubine, I'm afraid it's not just Zhu Zhu. ”

Zhu Zhu was stunned, the county order was a kind and kind Qing official in her impression, couldn't there be something wrong?

Zhang Zhutou hurriedly got up, crawled forward and hugged the other party's thigh, and said in a trembling voice:

"I can give all my possessions, woman... I can rob and steal women, and those women who give away big names can be selected for you first, and then the case will be decided in the name of the disappearance case, ensuring that it will not threaten you, just to be able to let me go. ”

Zhu Zhu's expression suddenly darkened, her eyebrows lowered, if it wasn't for Zhang Zhutou saying it herself, she wouldn't have been able to connect the disappearance of young girls in Star Town a few years ago with the other party.

How could this be so different from the justice in her heart.

"Good luck catching you, have you ever seen this? It is only now that I realize that the yamen I respect is so unbearable and dirty, because you are a daughter, and you have not been involved in many things. We're ashamed, but we did, and more than once. Of the thirty-one people who attacked at night, you are the only one who has not been tainted with sin on your hands. ”

"You have your own persistence, but we have long since fallen, and we are not worthy of being with you, since we want to live, this road has to be taken. ”

"At least in the yamen, there is a heroine who is worthy of our admiration and can be proud of. ”

Zhang Zhuai saw that the six people were menacing, and when he lifted the narrow knife, he was about to crawl backwards.

"I... And...."

"But we're impatient, and the rest of the words will be left to you to hell, and there should be people there who will listen patiently. ”

The narrow knife rises and falls.

"Don't, don't, let it go...."

The sound stopped abruptly.

"Good. Seeing that the farce was over, the lazy voice sounded again.

"I will teach you the art of torturing the soul, so that Zhang Qian will never be able to enter reincarnation, and he will have relieved the resentment in his heart. ”

"As for you, haven't decided yet?"

I wish I was silent.

"Tread, tread, stride!"

Before the man could speak, the sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and clearer from far and near, like a red wind blowing, and in an instant, Zhu Zhu disappeared.

The rebel bandits tried to chase after them, but they were stopped.

The lazy voice is full of playfulness:

"Here we go. ”
