Chapter 122: Descending the mountain to remove bandits and protect the village
On the occasion of the Chinese Valentine's Day this year, Chen Yuan, the old housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, rushed to Qingcheng Mountain to deliver a letter, reporting that Xuan Ji's father was haunted by ghosts, and invited seven or eight Taoist priests to set up an altar, but they all lost their lives.
Although Mrs. Jinhua was reluctant to leave, firstly, she should be the number of "Jiuyang Rebellion", and secondly, this matter was extraordinary, so she delivered the feather cloud yarn, and sent Xuanji out of the mountain gate.
Xuan Ji tearfully said goodbye to her master and went down Qingcheng Mountain.
She was eager to save her relatives and was ready to return against the wind, but the old housekeeper Chen Yuan was old and afraid of heights, and if he went alone, he didn't know the path, so he had to sell a white horse, and the old housekeeper Chen Yuan was anxious to return to the state.
When it was nearly dusk, the two walked to a three-way junction.
Suddenly, I saw a group of people hurrying by, some carrying knives, some carrying guns, some carrying maces, and some carrying bows and arrows...... One by one, they seemed to be fierce and vicious, and the horses stepped on the dust and smoke, and galloped away.
Just when Xuan Ji was puzzled, a few fast horses galloped over.
I vaguely heard a man with a big bow on his shoulder saying viciously: "Gather a hundred people tonight, and you must kill the birdmen in Peach Blossom Village to avenge the six masters!"
"That Peach Blossom Village's Zhigong killed the six masters with one shot, which shows that he is very powerful. A dog-headed military advisor replied.
"I, Wu Sanbazi, am still afraid of his palace, and the bow and arrow on Lao Tzu's back are not vegetarian!"
"Sanzhai master archery is very good, shooting objects at night is like day, but it is better to be careful. ”
"The four masters, the five masters, and the seven masters have all gone, and the four of us can't fight him in the palace. Wait to kill him in the palace, a village of old and young, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"
In the middle of those words, the horse's hooves clicked, and the figures were like the wind, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky, and they had already galloped away.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Xuan Ji turned her horse to make way, and when she walked by the side of the road, she suddenly heard that words and was secretly shocked: These people are carrying knives and guns, and they are going to the village where they are slaughtering, and they are all killed in the village, and no one is left, why are these people so vicious!
When Xuan Ji was in Qingcheng Mountain, the ants were reluctant to be injured, and when the birds and beasts were injured, she had to cry for several days, so when she heard that "a village of old and young people are killed", how could she be indifferent!
So she called: "Uncle Chen: Those people are going to slaughter other people's villages, let's go and have a look." ”
"Miss: Those people know at a glance that they are all mountain bandits, all of them are murderous, Miss don't meddle with things, the master is haunted by ghosts, let's hurry home." The old housekeeper Chen Yuan hurriedly persuaded.
"Where is this meddling! Slaughtering other people's villages and hurting people's lives, is it like a joke, are those people's lives worse than ants! Since I heard the news, how can I ignore it?" Xuan Ji felt pity and did not listen to the advice of the old butler, so she followed the gang of mountain bandits, beat their horses and galloped away.
"Miss, be careful, Miss. The old butler called out again and again.
But Xuan Ji had already run out of a hundred and ten meters away, and the old butler was helpless, so he hurriedly tightened the package with a saber on his shoulder, and then grabbed the horse's belly and hurriedly chased after him.
The two traveled more than 20 miles one after the other.
Suddenly, not far ahead, there was a village lying across the mountains and rivers.
On the left side of the village is a dark and secluded river, and on the right side is a mountain bag, but the part near the front of the village has been dug out of a soil cliff five or six zhang high, which happens to be a barrier.
And the entrance of the village has already erected huge rocks and erected fences to form fortifications, which is also the method that the people of Li people came up with to defend their homes in the troubled times in order to prevent robbers and bandits from looting.
At this time, in front of the village, the torches were bright, and the flames were whirring and burning, burning the nearby sky. In the light and shadow of the fire, there were vaguely lined up with one hundred and ten mountain bandits, swords and guns, and the murderous atmosphere was soaring.
Xuan Jile stopped his mount, saw the whole scene in his eyes, and hesitated for a moment, how could she deal with the one hundred and ten mountain bandits alone?
She had just gritted her teeth and was about to ride her horse over, but the old butler suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse.
It turned out that the old housekeeper was afraid that something would happen to the young lady, and after catching up, he jumped off the horse and stopped Xuan Ji from acting rashly.
"Miss: There are more than 100 mountain bandits there, wouldn't you go to send a sheep to the tiger's mouth, and give away your life in vain, if something happens to Miss, how can the old servant go back and explain to the adult. The old butler begged.
"Then what should I do? I can't just watch those bandits slaughter people's villages!" Hyun Ji said very anxiously.
"There are villagers in the village who deal with the mountain bandits, and in the opinion of the old servant: Miss should just take a look here, don't get into trouble. ”
As soon as the old housekeeper said this, he reminded Xuan Ji. She said secretly: Uncle is right, I'll take a look here, and wait until I find out the situation, I must not act recklessly.
After thinking about it, he saw that there was a dwarf pine forest in front of the road, so Hyun Ji agreed to the old housekeeper's request, set the horse into the dwarf pine forest, and stopped the horse to watch.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper Chen Yuan wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, then relieved himself, kicked the saddle on the horse, and then got into the dwarf pine forest.
The last rays of sunset in the western sky vanished, and the boundless darkness began to descend on the land.
One hundred and ten torches lit up the night sky, red and blood-stained.
The neighing of several war horses shook the night sky, which was thrilling.
At this time, Wu Sanbazi, the leader of the bandits, rode a war horse, carried a big bow, and carried a snake spear, and shouted arrogantly:
"The villagers of Peach Blossom Village are listening: You have killed the six village masters of my Wulong Village in Fengliang Mountain, and we are here to avenge him! If you know each other, quickly hand over the murderer Zhi Palace, and offer five beauties, I, Wu Sanbazi, will let you go, if you don't listen to me, you will be bloodied in Peach Blossom Village tonight!"
As soon as the shouting fell, a middle-aged man stood up on the gatehouse of the village, and he was about to be the Li Zheng of this peach blossom village.
I only heard him respond: "Heroes: Taohua Village and Wulong Village are more than 100 miles apart, and the well water has always been not the river water. When the sixth master came to Peach Blossom Village, we treated each other with good wine and meat, but he didn't do anything, he blatantly forged/raped/raped/women without saying anything, and killed seven or eight people in my village. You occupy the mountain as the king, and do the way for the heavens, what kind of way are you doing for it?"
"The master of this village is not talking nonsense with you this time, as long as the result: you hand over the murderer Zhigong and sacrifice five beauties to my sixth brother for burial, then everything will be fine!" Wu Sanbazi said loudly.
"You don't have to dream!
At the end of the words, a young man in a strong suit suddenly appeared on the gatehouse, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sturdy body, and a hook and sickle in his hand, which was the palace that killed the six masters of Oolong Village.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Wu Sanbazi said, "If you are really a good man, do you dare to come out and fight me?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Before the words of the palace fell, he held a hook and sickle in one hand and pressed the building railing slightly with the other, and jumped down from the gatehouse more than three zhang high and landed in front of the mountain bandits.
The palace was arrogant and dry, and it was impossible to stop it, so he had to hurry downstairs and lead the villagers to open the defensive fence, and they were about to come out, and there were more than 100 people who were visually inspected, one by one holding iron hoes and shovels, plowing and cutting wooden forks, which was quite imposing.
Wu Sanbazi applauded and shouted: "Okay! Happy! Zhigong, the master of this village will personally chop off your head today to avenge my sixth brother!"
As soon as he said that, Wu Sanbazi carried a snake spear in his hand, ready to go out on horseback and fight the palace alone.
Li Dao, the abductor of the seventh village in the side compartment: "Third brother, let me pick him up!"
Without waiting for Wu Sanbazi, the master of the three villages, to speak, Li Dama, the abductor of the seven villages, galloped up, holding the Pu knife high with both hands and slashing towards the palace.
The palace sank slightly, clenched the hook and sickle with both hands, only pointed the head of the spear against the Pu knife, and suddenly pulled it out to the side in the direction of falling!
With a "poof", the two weapons collided, splashing out a few star flowers and disappearing.
The abductor Li's simple knife slashed into the air and fell straight to the side, because he used too much force, so his body was driven, and he involuntarily stabbed obliquely.
It turns out that this pull seems to be easy, but in fact, the palace is powerful and fast, and it is the skill of four or two thousand catties. Zhigong seized this opportunity, quickly ran two steps forward, and grabbed the gun.
The kidnapper Li couldn't take the knife back, and with a "poof", the hook and sickle was pulled into his waist and ribs.
Gong Gong twisted the hook and sickle spear, and suddenly pulled it back, and a blood arrow was brought out with the gun, splashing more than two meters away.
The kidnapper Li screamed, fell from the horse's back to the grass, hung upside down on the saddle with one foot, and was dragged into the darkness of the fire, which was a well-fed tripe-a straw bale!
In one move, the abductor of the seven villages reimbursed his life, which angered the mountain bandits in Wulong Village, especially the four village masters and the five village masters gritted their teeth, and each drove the horse to wave a knife and kill the palace.
Zhigong raised his gun to face the battle, openly fearless, falling like a falcon between the two war horses, and shooting like lightning, so that the two bandit leaders could not be guarded against it, and they were terrified.
There are more than 20 rounds of fighting, Wu Sanbazi is worried that the two brothers will not be able to fight the palace, and the second is boasting of archery, so he took off the refined big bow himself, took a wolf tooth arrow and put it on the bowstring, squeaked and pulled a string like a full moon, aimed at the palace, saw the timing, and suddenly took off.
Sou!
The wolf's tooth arrow blew the wind and flew through the air like lightning.
As the saying goes: open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
What's more, it's still a dark arrow in the night!
The palace was dealing with the two bird village owners and killing, and suddenly found that the wolf's tooth arrows were coming to the chest, but it was too late. In the midst of the lightning, he had to hide on his back on his back, but it was too late, and the left shoulder socket ate the wolf's tooth arrow, which penetrated his shoulder and back, so that it didn't hurt.
Seeing this, the two bird village owners suddenly became energetic, each holding a simple knife, striking back and forth, attacking left and right, slashing horizontally and vertically, and the knife was deadly.
Gong Gong gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and while violently pulling out the wolf's tooth arrow, he jumped to dodge the blade of the master of the five villages, and used the hook and sickle to push away the knife shaft of the master of the four villages.
The four village masters are only good bullies for the wounded, and they do their best to put the palace to death, but the moves are inevitably old. At this time, he slashed the air, and he couldn't pull back the machete for a while, so he was spotted by the palace, he held the wolf's tooth arrow in his hand, and suddenly flew up in the air, swooping down like a fierce eagle!
