(Maopu Chinese) As the treasurer said, Fufeng County is indeed surrounded by mountains.

Ying Shi was driving the carriage in front, Sima Yue was sitting in the carriage, and Sima Xuan and Ah Tai were riding horses and following beside them.

As soon as she saw Sima Yue sitting in the carriage without moving, Sima Xuan knew that she must be sitting in a daze again.

He couldn't help it, knocked on the wall of the carriage with a horsewhip, and said, "Yue'er, what are you doing sitting inside?" Come out and see the scenery outside, so that the mood will be a little more relaxed. ”

At first, there was still no movement in the carriage, so Sima Xuan strengthened the force of knocking on the wall of the carriage.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was finally lifted, and Sima Yue slowly climbed out of it, raised his head and said to Sima Xuan angrily: "You are working so hard, are you going to dismantle the carriage?" ”

As soon as Sima Xuan saw her come out, he immediately smiled.

Shaking the horsewhip in his hand, he smiled, "Yes." If you don't come out again, I'll really tear down the carriage. Then it will be up to you to sit in the carriage all day in a daze. ”

Sima Yue ignored him, and sat next to Yingshi by himself, looking at the surrounding scenery.

The carriage now travels on a path between the two mountains. Although it is a small road, the road surface is relatively smooth, and I don't feel like a bumpy panic. As far as the eye can see, there are deep shades of green from the trees on the hills on both sides. Occasionally, birds flutter their wings and fly by, and their calls are melodious.

Ying Shi glanced up at the sky at this time, lowered her head and said to Sima Yue worriedly: "Princess, look at this sky, I'm afraid that there will be a heavy rain later." ”

Sima Yue also looked up.

The sky is gloomy and dark, thick or shallow, big or small, dark clouds are piling up. But the wind gradually increased, and at first the treetops were only blowing slightly, and then it was blowing the posture of the whole tree bending to the side. And there was also a faint presence of lightning in the clouds.

Sima Yue frowned. It was the height of summer, and the trees were luxuriant, and if you stayed here later, the thunder and lightning struck and accidentally split them all, which would really be unjustly killed.

"Second brother," she turned to Sima Xuan and said, "Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain." ”

Sima Xuan also noticed that the sky was getting more and more gloomy, the wind was also strong, and the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the mountain were shaken.

He doesn't want to stay here when the lightning is thundering. Not to mention the others, even the carriage can't squeeze four people.

So he ordered Atai to go first and find out if there was a place to shelter from the rain.

Atai received the order, struck the horse with a whip, and ran forward.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky had gathered more and more, the sky was about to be overcast as night, the frequency of lightning in the clouds was getting higher and higher, and the dull thunder was gradually sounding.

The strong wind blew Sima Yue's hair and dress, and for a moment she almost suspected that she would be blown into the air like a kite.

The feeling of being in front of such a strong wind is really exciting.

A crazy thought suddenly arose in Sima Yue's heart.

If she hadn't just weathered the storm and thunder here, maybe a thunderbolt would have killed her, and she would have traveled somewhere else when she woke up.

But she suddenly remembered Wang Jun.

In this lightning is bright and dazzling, making people palpitate; Thunder roared, and great earthquakes trembled; The wind passed, and the surrounding mountains and trees rattled as dark as day, as if the end was about to come, and she suddenly couldn't help but think of Wang Jun.

She misses him so much! Even if he had done something like that to her against her will.

She suddenly wanted to turn around and go back to the capital, ran to Wang Jun regardless of it, and said to him very seriously, can we start again?

It turns out that she already loves him to this extent?

At this moment, a burst of mines rolled past the ground, and the earth and mountains under their feet seemed to tremble, as if some monster was about to break through the shackles and burst out into the sky.

As soon as the rolling mine passed, there were immediately raindrops the size of beans falling down.

However, the rain has just begun, and although the raindrops are heavy enough, they are also sparse enough, so the raindrops that fall on the body are not much.

Sima Xuan and Yingshi yelled at her together at this time: "Get into the carriage." ”

Sima Yue sat there stubbornly and did not go in.

If you want to get drenched in the rain, everyone will be drenched together, and she can't run to the carriage to hide from the rain, so that Sima Xuan and Yingshi will be drenched in the rain outside.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in front of them was loud, and at the same time, Atai's voice also sounded rapidly.

"Your Highness, there is a pavilion ahead to shelter from the rain."

When Sima Xuan heard this, he greeted Sima Yue and Yingshi, and then slammed the horse's belly with his feet.

The steed that sat down neighed and rushed out first.

Ying Shi also said to Sima Yue at this time to sit firmly, and then flicked the horse whip in his hand, and also whipped it towards the horse in front of him.

The horse was in pain, raised its hooves, and ran forward with all its might.

A few people ran wildly all the way, although their bodies were somewhat drenched by the rain, but they still arrived at the pavilion that Artai said before they became soup chickens.

This pavilion is supposed to be a place specially built by the local government for guests to rest. Because it is in the mountains, it was built very simply.

It was just a top of four pillars, and it was covered with thatch.

But fortunately, the thatch was very thick, and there was no rain for a while.

However, the thatch on the eaves of the pavilion was constantly raining down, even more rapidly than the rain outside, washing away the dust in the ground and smashing a big hole.

It shows how heavy this rain is.

Fortunately, it was the height of summer, and although the clothes on several of them were wet, they dried quickly.

It's just that when the wind blows, it's inevitable that there is still some coolness on the body.

At this time, Yingshi had already taken out a light gauze cloak embroidered with green calyx and plum blossoms on a white background and put it on Sima Yue.

First, of course, because of her illness, she can't stand the cold, and secondly, the dress will always stick to her body after she gets wet, and Sima Xuan and Atai are both men after all, so it's better to avoid taboos at this time.

Yingshi dutifully took care of Sima Yue, but she ignored one point, she herself was actually just a girl who had just turned eighteen.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out next to him.

Out of the previous training, Ying Shi immediately turned around, pressed one hand on the soft sword at his waist, and looked at the visitor with a wary gaze.

It turned out to be Atay.

Atai has thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a wide chin. It's obviously a very sharp person, but there is a deep dimple on the right cheek. So whenever he had a slight smile on his face, or just a slight pouting of his lower lip, the dimples immediately burst out......

So his sharpness can only be done when he has a serious face at most.

But now, Atai is pronged and pursed his lips, and the dimples on his right cheek are unobstructed.

In his hand was a black cloak without any embroidery. Probably a little embarrassed, he didn't speak at first.

So the warbler asked, "What to do?" ”

Atay still didn't speak, but her lips became tighter and tighter, so the dimples on her right cheek became more and more obvious.

When Sima Yue and Sima Xuan saw it next to them, they almost bent down with a smile.

For Atai's thoughts, Sima Yue and Sima Xuan can actually see it.

Since the first time Atai and Ying fought each other, Atai has always admired Ying very much, and always wants to contact her more. But helplessly, Yingshi was a cold-faced and big-hearted person, so he didn't notice this at all.

And after the four of them came out together this time, some of Atai's small courtesies to Yingshi were still seen by them.

At this time, when he saw the warbler, he was puzzled, and Atai was embarrassed to say the picture, Sima Xuan smiled; "When you were a warbler, Atai was afraid that you would be cold, so he wanted to put his cloak on you. Just accept his wishes. ”

Ying Shi looked at her embarrassedly, and Atai, who turned his head to the side, also pursed his lips and did not speak, but he did not reach out to take the cloak in his hand.

Atai, on the other hand, stubbornly stretched out his hand, and had no intention of retracting it at all.

So the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

When Sima Yue saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward, took the cloak from Atai's hand, and said to Yingshi: "The dress on your body is also wet, it is better to put on this cloak after all." ”

As soon as the words fell, she shook off her cloak and draped it over Yingshi.

Ying Shi didn't refuse, but he didn't speak, he just pursed his lips tightly and hung his head.

But Sima Yue still saw the redness at the base of her ears with sharp eyes.

At the moment, she didn't break it, she just pursed her lips and smiled and put on a cloak for Yingshi, and then walked to the side to gossip with Sima Xuan, allowing Ah Tai and Yingshi to stand there like two statues without moving.

It's just that the lightning and thunder are roaring outside, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and this thatched pavilion is a little weak after all, and it can't stand the sudden violent and rapid rain, so some places begin to leak.

In the end, everyone had to huddle in a place where there was no rain, and statues such as Antai and Yingshi, such as Antai and Yingshi, would inevitably have occasional contact with their limbs.

Now it's not only the warbler's time, but also Atai's face is as red as a boiled shrimp.

But fortunately, the summer storm comes and goes quickly. Although lightning still streaked through the clouds from time to time, the thunder slowly became quieter, and the sky slowly brightened.

Sima Yue breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Although she was in this pavilion before, there were no walls on all sides, and the storm and lightning and thunder could still be clearly seen.

In fact, the storm is not enough, the key is that the lightning and thunder, lightning one after another, as if the sky is about to be torn apart, it is really scary to watch. And the thunder roared, the earth and mountains were trembling, and her ears were about to be deaf, but she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to move when she squatted on the wooden bench.

Finally, the thunder was getting quieter, and the rain was slowly getting lighter, and she finally dared to move her body, which was about to stiffen due to excessive nervousness.

Just as he could move his legs, he suddenly heard a whistle, and then more than a dozen people rushed out of the dense forest next to him.

These ten people all wore hats on their heads, and they thought they were here to protect themselves from the rain. It's just that the clothes on the body are very wet and thorough, and even some hidden and private parts can be faintly seen.

Sima Yue snorted secretly, and then glanced at these people a few times, thinking about who these people were.

And Ah Tai and Ying Shi had already stepped forward and protected Sima Xuan and Sima Yue behind them.

At this time, the dozen or so people had already taken off their hats and showed their faces.

So Sima Yue was surprised to find that a few people inside were the farmers at the adjacent table she had seen at the inn when she was having breakfast earlier.

If you look at these people closely, they are all wearing coarse cloth clothes, and they are carrying rakes, hoes and other farm tools on their hands and shoulders.

Oh, the man in the lead has a simple knife in his hand, but it should be blunt at first glance, not very sharp.

"Who?" Ah Tai asked in a deep voice at this time.

His eyes widened, his expression was awe-inspiring, and the red intent on his face that had just been embarrassed was completely gone, only the aura of murder on his face.

The dozen or so people were so frightened by his fierce appearance that they took two steps back.

Later, a person pushed the leader of the leader, and the leader took two steps forward and said tremblingly: "What, this road is, I opened it, this tree, this tree was planted by me, if you want to live from now on, stay, stay and buy road wealth." ”

Finally, after finishing these words in a trembling voice, he added: "Just keep and leave half or half of your money." ”

Sima Yue: ......

Is this gang really blocking the road? The first time I knew about the roadblock robbery, it turned out that I could carry farm tools such as rakes and hoes, and I was so kind that I only needed half the money?

Big brother, you better go to the promising career of being a farmer. You're not fit to get in the way, really.

Atai and Yingshi were already thinking about it at this time.

In their opinion, it doesn't matter who he is, but whoever stands in the way and robs, then he should be put down.

After all, Ah Tai and Ying Shi are professionally trained secret guards or something, and with a sharp look, the murderous aura can already permeate the air.

One person said to the leader, "Zhao, Zhao Gang, no, no." Didn't it mean that these people were just rich sons and young ladies who came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers with their maids and servants? Why, how can I look at them now, look at them with kung fu. ”

Sima Yue couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

Sima Xuan looked at her.

"Second brother," Sima Yue said to him after laughing, "Forget it, you let Atai scare and scare them, but don't really hurt them." We're still on our way. ”

When Sima Xuan heard this, he nodded to Atai.

As soon as Atai saw it, he immediately strode out of the pavilion.

When they went out, they naturally didn't blatantly carry swords or anything like that, but they just had other protective swords on their bodies.

At this time, Ah Tai also saw that these people were not professional robbers, and except for the leader, a person named Zhao Gang, the others did not have kung fu.

He didn't take out the soft sword, but walked towards Zhao Gang with his bare hands.

Zhao Gangsheng is quite broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with a dark complexion, a full beard, and a rough look, but it is also quite scary.

But compared with his appearance, maybe people's courage is not as good as the delicate Diao Chan.

As soon as he saw Atai striding over, his hand holding the Pu knife began to tremble, and his body couldn't stop falling backwards.

"You, don't come here."

No matter how you look at this picture, it looks like a bully on the street robbing a little girl.

But Atai naturally won't listen to Zhao Gang. He walked straight over, grabbed Zhao Gang's collar, and then raised his big fist with a dustpan.

Zhao Gang probably forgot that he actually had a Pu knife in his hand, and just looked at Ah Tai with fear and shock on his face.

And the dozen or so people who followed him all opened their eyes wide and looked at Ah Tai in disbelief when they saw this appearance.

Atai Eagle Catching a Chick Carrying Zhao Gang, who was very burly, turned his head and asked Sima Xuan: "Son, do you want to kill it?" “

As soon as Zhao Gang heard him say this, his whole body immediately trembled like soybeans in a sieve.

"Okay, good man, spare your life."

Atai ignored him, just looked at Sima Xuan.

The meaning was obvious, as long as Sima Xuan said a word of killing, he would immediately be able to twist Zhao Gang's head off without hesitation.

In fact, one of his hands had been placed on Zhao Gang's neck, and he was looking for a way to move faster, so as not to scare Princess Duanhua.

Sima Yue called the second brother at this time. Sima Xuan understood what she meant, patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and then got up and walked out.

So Zhao Gang only saw a very handsome young rich boy walking towards him slowly.

Sima Xuan's face was obviously smiling, but in Zhao Gang's eyes, this was a smile from the Hell Demon.

He trembled even more for a moment.

At this time, Sima Xuan approached and looked at Zhao Gang, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

"What, do you want me to spare your life?"

Zhao Gang nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "If a hero can spare my life, I, Zhao Gang, am willing to agree to all the requests of a hero." ”

"Oh?" Sima Xuan's eyes motioned for Atai to put down Zhao Gang, and then bent over and leaned over, and the corners of his lips slowly pulled a deep smile out, "I have only one request." That is, I want to join the gang, join you, and work together as a bandit, a promising career. ”

Sima Yue, who was coming later: ......

How is this plot going to develop? Is Sima Xuan's brain show funny? As today's prince, can you occupy the mountain as the king today?

"Second brother," Sima Yue stood behind him and twitched the corners of his lips, "Are you kidding?" ”

But Sima Xuan used practical actions to show that he was not joking.

Because then he really let Zhao Gang lead the way in front, and then followed the dozen or so people up the mountain.

The mountain occupied by Zhao Gang and a dozen people was called Qunyu Mountain, which was the mountain that the shopkeeper said had a waterfall.

Along the way, the jade mountains are not very high, and they are not very steep. When we reached the top of the hill, there were only a few dilapidated houses standing. There weren't a few minions, but there were a few women, who were busy washing laundry. There are also many children, running and fighting with sticks in front of and behind the house.

Therefore, it is a miracle that such a bandit village has survived to this day and has not been exterminated by the government.

Zhao Gang invited Sima Xuan and Sima Yue to sit down at this time, and ordered people to serve tea.

The tea is Kuding tea, which is served in a large bowl and looks very rough.

Sima Xuan didn't care, took it and drank half a bowl in one go, and then wiped his mouth boldly and asked: "Lao Zhao, you bandit village, you really don't look very majestic." ”

It's not just not majestic, it's just down. Farmers with slightly better backgrounds have better houses than this.

Sima Xuan was born with an affinity that could quickly mingle with others.

Although Zhao Gang was frightened by Atai and Sima Xuan before, but along the way, he was still completely conquered by Sima Xuan's tongue and lotus, and his title for Sima Xuan also changed from a good man to a brother Ma.

Sima Xuan said to Zhao Gang that his name was Ma Xuan, and Sima Yue's name was Ma Yue, and the two of them were brother and sister, so they passed by this way because they were going to visit relatives.

"Hey, Brother Ma," Zhao Gang made a bitter face, took a bench and sat down opposite Sima Xuan, and said, "I won't tell you, in fact, we people, where can we be kings?" Speaking of which, we used to be all Zhuang families under the mountain, but because Cui Taishou of Fufeng County was catching strong men and collecting heavy taxes, we couldn't survive anymore, so we came to this mountain to be bandits. Because I once learned some boxing and foot kung fu from a monk when I was young, I was looked up to by everyone, so I became the king. But in fact, I am also principled as a king, and I have always robbed rich people passing by, and I only robbed half of the silver money. ”

Sima Yue was thinking in her heart that these people were really just farmers as she expected. And think about the time when they had just gone up the mountain, they saw that the trees in many parts of the mountain had been cut down and some vegetables were planted there, and there were still some fields in the col, and the rice seedlings were growing very well, and they were green. Do you think that these people are still tending to the crops on weekdays, and when someone comes down the mountain, they will go out to rob some money and subsidize the family? As for the simple inn and dim sum shop in front of the mountain, it was actually a stronghold they used to watch the wind and explore?

And then she and Sima Xuan were unfortunately targeted by them?

Sima Yue was silent, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Why did you only rob half of the money when you robbed?" ”

Zhao Gang slapped his thigh heavily with a snort, and then said: "I don't think we people should rob passers-by like this, I don't know how many iron rods Yan and Wang Ye will beat us after death, and how many layers of hell will be sent to, so if you can do less evil, do less evil." And I thought, even if it is a rich family, their money is earned by themselves, not by the wind, right? Robbing the rich to help the poor, robbing the rich to help the poor, why should we rob the money that people have worked so hard to earn because they have money, we have no money, and then we should rob it? But we, old and young women and children, can't survive just by planting some rice and vegetables, but I don't think it's right to rob other people's money, so I pondered, otherwise I would only rob half of the money of passers-by, so I should borrow it first in this life, and then return it to them after making cattle and horses in the next life. ”

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Sima Yue felt a wave of respect for him in his heart.

Although he looks like a very rough person on the surface, he can actually see through the inside.
