Chapter 22: Huotou Mountain
Five hundred miles east of Shangjing City, there is a Huotou Mountain, on which a group of bandits have been entrenched.
This gang of bandits is usually relatively low-key, and they did not go down the mountain to rob their homes and houses, nor did they block the road to rob money. Therefore, the local government did not take care of it, thinking that as long as this group of people did not make any outrageous moves, they would not bother to mobilize the people to exterminate them.
There are three masters on Huotou Mountain, the big boss Han Dang is polite, calm, measured, knowledgeable and weak, but he has a good kung fu, and the whole person is not angry and arrogant, and manages the bandits of the entire Huotou Mountain obediently. He gave a command, and no one dared to disobey it. Huotou Mountain can have today, it all depends on him judging the situation and taking every step of the way, people like him are indeed a bit condescending to be bandits on Huotou Mountain.
The second master, Wu Mang, is a rough man, and he usually likes to drink a little wine. He is as strong as an ox, and in the entire Huotou Mountain, except for Han Dang, basically no one can beat him.
I remember that two years ago, he was just a little robber, and there were only a dozen people under him, and he went down the mountain to block the road and rob when he had nothing to do.
At that time, Han Dang came to him alone and directly knocked down more than ten of them, and since then, Huotou Mountain has become what it is today under his leadership. He has watched Huotou Mountain rise from a small hill to a big cottage now, so he is convinced by this big boss.
The third master is a mountain mouse, and no one remembers the name, but everyone calls him a mountain mouse.
The mountain rat was joined by Huotou Mountain during the expansion, and in the eyes of everyone, he slowly climbed up by relying on his kung fu. Later, he was promoted to the third master by Han Dang, but there were many people who disagreed with him, after all, in their eyes, the mountain rat climbed up through flattery, and he would be looked down upon.
Huotou Mountain Treasure Hall......
Han Dang was talking to a group of people wearing black turbans, led by an old man with a sword lying quietly on his lap.
This group of people is the group of people who made a big fuss about Jubao Zhai at the beginning.
At this moment, the old man at the head was sitting in the seat where Han Dang was sitting before, and Han Dang stood at the bottom, listening to the old man's words respectfully.
"Dang, I didn't expect you to develop this place so big, it seems that it was right to let you come to Beijing to experience in the first place, and you have contributed a lot to the success of our plan this time. When I go back, I will definitely report to the Pavilion Master truthfully, and I don't think there will be much problem for you to become an officer. The old man said with great relief.
"That's also the master's teaching, otherwise how could the apprentice be so promising. Han Dang said, and knelt down and kowtowed to the old man.
The old man raised his hand to help him, Han Dang stood up involuntarily, and before he could react, the old man took out the sword and said to Han Dang: "This time, in addition to getting the pre-Qin Gu Jian, I also got an ancient sword, this sword is really easy to use, but this sword is unknown, I don't need it, you take it and give it to others." ”
"Yes. With that, Han Dang took the ancient sword.
"Although this mission was a success, there is a reward and a punishment. Huang Lin, you say, you are wrong this time. The old man sat down on the top and closed his eyes.
A middle-aged man with a scar on his face stood up and covered his chest, "Elder, my subordinates know that they shouldn't save people downstairs in Fengxian." But the subordinates really can't stand it, this group of dog soldiers is really too deceitful. The father and daughter didn't do anything, so they wronged others, and the rich man robbed the people's daughter, but there were still people to cover him. The subordinates were so angry that they couldn't help but make a move. ”
The old man opened his eyes and stared at Huang Lin tightly, and said in a serious tone: "There are too many unfair things in this world, countless innocent people die every day, you can't save everyone. And your actions at that time, if you expose us, then all the efforts we have made will be in vain, for the mercy of your heart, you ignored the task, almost harmed everyone, and deserved to be punished. ”
Huang Lin knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates know and are willing to be punished." ”
"However, this time you helped me get the pre-Qin Gu Jian, and after I go back, sweep the back mountain for a month, so as to nourish my heart. With that, he closed his eyes and ignored him.
Han Dang, who was next to him, looked at the old man, and stopped talking, but the old man said directly: "If you have anything to say, you don't need to twist and pinch." ”
"Master, I don't know if I can go back this time. Han Dang said his thoughts directly.
The old man looked at Han Dang for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"Haha, after this mission is completed, you don't need to stay here, this time I came to you, on the one hand, to rest, and on the other hand, to take you back. As for this Huotou Mountain, you can handle it yourself. If you can, it's best to stay so you don't come back later. In this case, you go and prepare the rest first, and we will leave tomorrow. ”
Getting the answer he wanted, Han Dang's heart was naturally very happy, and when he answered, he walked out with his sword, ready to explain what happened after he left.
An hour later
In Han Dang's study, there are several powerful figures in Huotou Mountain, the second leader Wu Mang, the third leader of the mountain rat, and six leaders, each of whom has seven or eight hundred people in his hands, although the division of labor of the six people is different, but they really have so many people in their hands, and their status in Huotou Mountain is second only to the three masters.
Han Dang looked at them and said: "I have been here for two years in Huotou Mountain, in the past two years, Huotou Mountain has developed from a small mountain to what it is now, I don't think it is the credit of one person, but the result of the development of all of us." Because of your efforts, you can keep this place firmly guarded, and there is no leakage. ”
Han Dang said some useless opening remarks, these words may be useful to ordinary generals, but for these thieves, they can only make them understand one truth - this big boss is leaving.
As soon as they thought of this, everyone was very excited, these days, they were restrained by Han Dang, and they didn't have the slightest chance to salvage oil and water, the big guy trained every day, and he had such a good weapon in his hand, but he had to slash at the air every day, and he called it training.
After all, everyone is a thief, and they are a little impetuous, but they can't vent, and they really suffocate the big guys, thinking that as long as the big boss leaves, with the temper of the second master, they can't use their fists to their heart's content, and when the time comes, they will definitely go down the mountain to grab more girls to come back, so that the brothers can be happy.
Just as they were thinking about it, Han Dang said again: "Tomorrow I will go to a distant place to do something, in my absence, I will choose someone to manage Huotou Mountain for me, no matter who I choose, what he says is my words, and the orders he issued are my orders, do you understand?"
"Understood. The crowd replied in unison.
"Okay, Mangzi, you come. Han Dang waved his hand to Wu Mang.
As soon as Wu Mang heard the big boss calling himself, he hummed and couldn't wait to walk over, with joy on his face that couldn't be hidden.
"I will reward you with this sword now, I hope that in the future, you will help the third child to watch this mountain more and not make trouble. Han Dang handed the sword to Wu Mang as he spoke.
Wu Mang solemnly took the sword with both hands, and was proud in his heart, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
What did the big boss ask me to do just now? Help that mouse more, and let me not make trouble? His heart was like a lightning strike, and he took the sword in his hand and stuck it in place.
Just when Wu Mang was stunned, Han Dang called the mountain rat over again.
"After I leave, you will temporarily take my place and guard this mountain for me, if there is anything wrong, I will ask you. ”
The mouse's mind was a little confused, and he hadn't understood it yet, so he nodded mechanically.
Han Dang turned his head to everyone and said: "In the future, you all have to listen to the words of the mountain rat, what he said is what I said, if anyone dares not to listen, he will be dealt with directly by military law, have you heard it?"
Only then did everyone react, it turned out that it was not Wu Dangjia who took over as the big boss, but the Shan, and then replied: "I heard it." ”
After everyone finished answering, only Wu Mang was still there, Han Dang looked at Wu Mang and asked in a deep voice, "What, you don't accept my arrangement?"
As soon as Wu Mang heard Han Dang's voice, he immediately reacted and said: "I serve, I listen to the big boss, I will definitely listen to the third child if there is any situation in the future." ”
Han Dang looked at him like this, nodded, and motioned for everyone to go out and leave the mountain rat behind.
He looked at the mountain rat and asked, "Third child, do you know why I want you to replace me?"
The mountain rat nodded, and shook his head again, "I know that the big boss approves of the mountain rat and knows that the mountain rat is loyal." Leave things to the mountain rat to do, please rest assured that the mountain mouse will do its best to live up to the trust of the big boss. ”
Han Dang smiled and said with a pleasant face: "You are only half right, I let you manage the entire mountain, the main reason is that you know the importance more than the reckless man, and you know how to advance and retreat." If I let Mangzi manage this mountain, within half a month, my hard work will be complete. So, I hope you don't live up to the trust I place in you. ”
When the mountain rat heard this, he immediately knelt down and said to Han Dang: "I will live up to the trust of the big boss and take care of the whole mountain in good order, please rest assured." ”
Han Dang nodded with satisfaction and said to him: "You don't need to take care of it, just follow my current way, restrain these people more, don't attract the attention of the government, have nothing to consolidate and consolidate the mountain, just do these things." If you know, go down, go to find Liu Han more, there are some things, he will tell you. ”
After hearing this, the mountain rat bowed respectfully and retreated.
Han Dang watched the mountain rat exit the door, in fact, he didn't have much bottom in his heart, he knew that these people looked down on the mountain rat. But if the power is handed over to Mangzi, with his temperament, within a few days, the army of the government will hit the mountain gate, once the officers and soldiers hit the door, relying on them, it is difficult to defend the mountain.
I only hope that they will be blessed with more blessings, and there is only so much they can do.
The next day, Han Dang left with a group of black-clothed people, leaving behind this Huotou Mountain, which didn't know where to go in the future, and never returned.
