That's right, the reason has to start from the Jiming Cave, which is a small intertwined cave in the north of the sixteen pans.

Even the people of Shiupan Town, who have lived here for generations, have strayed into it, and there is a great possibility that they will not be able to get out.

There have been many lessons of blood and tears, and in the past, about ten people died in Jiming Cave every year.

The reason why it was before was because since twenty years ago, there had been almost no such thing, and this was all thanks to Ge Qiu.

Ge Qiu, whose ancestors were poor for sixteen generations, finally got out of the pauper status by relying on his mouth.

He has been running errands in the Liu family, a big family in the town, but running errands will inevitably be called to do some dangerous things. Twenty years ago, the Liu family lost a cow, and some people said that they saw it enter the chicken hole.

Ge Qiu took some family members into the Jiming Cave like this, and for the past two months, the people of Shiupan Town thought he was dead.

On a dark and windy night, there were a lot of screams from the Liu family's mansion.

At the end of the night again, Ge Qiu became the king of the sixteen plates.

After that, more and more people began to enter the town of Sixteen Pan, and finally disappeared in Jiming Cave.

Needless to say, the people understood what was going on. But almost no one dared to chew the root of their tongues, although they did not see the tragic situation of the Liu family's compound, but that night was the most tragic night in the history of their town.

There are a few people who are not afraid of death who want to unite with the government to suppress Ge Qiu, but they all died before they left Sixteen Pan Town.

As for some of the other forces guarding the loopholes, it was not that they did not think about annexing Sixteen Pan Town, but after finally sending people over to investigate, they all wisely gave up their plans.

Because the only people who can really lead people to walk in the chicken cave without getting lost are Ge Qiu and his son.

In these years, after the Ge family relied on Jiming Cave to make profits, not only did they not oppress the people of Shiupan Town, but also helped the people from time to time, which won the hearts of the people of Shiupan Town.

Unless they take all the sixteen towns, Ge Qiu will definitely not submit to them. Let's not talk about whether they have the strength to annex Sixteen Pan Town, even if they do, they don't dare, the nature of annexing a town is completely different from annexing a loophole force.

There is a large courtyard on the way to enter the Jiming Cave from the town of Liupan, and the gate of the courtyard is carved with blood-red kudzu characters.

There were more than a dozen men with knives at the gate of the courtyard, bored and sweeping people who came and went.

Da Da Da –

There was a chaotic and hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and the expressions of the more than ten men with swords at the gate of the courtyard were immediately much more serious.

Crunch –

After the courtyard door opened, a short, fat middle-aged and elderly man walked out quickly with short legs.

"Sir—"

"Come with me!"

"Yes!"

More than 100 people ran towards the Jiming Cave, and the medicine seekers on the road avoided it one after another, and some medicine seekers who were more thoughtful saluted the short man: "I've seen Master Ge." ”

Ge Qiu, who used to greet people with a smile on his face, had a cold face, and he didn't even look at those people, let alone respond to them.

After Ge Qiu and his party left, the medicine seekers on the road began to talk in a whisper: "Is there something wrong with the Jiming Cave?"

"You don't have to think about it to know that there is a problem with the chicken hole, but I don't know if it was the government or other forces. ”

"It should be the government's action, the government has blocked all other loopholes in recent days. ”

My second cousin's sister-in-law's cousin is an errand boy from Huilong, and I heard that their master was called away by the government, and now they have no job to do, and they are complaining about it. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether the loopholes are sealed or not, the main thing is that the government has not only blocked the loopholes, but also blocked the regular channels under the jurisdiction of the government. ”

"Rest assured, it should be lifted in less than half a month. ”

Many sad-faced medicine seekers looked at the person who spoke, whose skin was as dark and dry as theirs, all because of the traces left by the wind and sun.

"Where did you know what Brother Tai said?"

The man looked around, and there were only a dozen of them in the vicinity, so he whispered, "I'll tell you, don't tell anyone else." ”

"Mmmm, brother Tai don't worry!"

More than a dozen people nodded together, and some were still slapping their chests a few times.

"I have a friend who drinks and meat and is a small businessman who has some intersection with the government, and he heard that the reason for this mountain closure is to arrest the generals from Nanhe. ”

"How did the generals of Nanhe get to our party's righteous mountain range?"

"Damn, the government is too insidious, they don't even know it, do you want us to help them explore the way? ”

"Let's go! Although the money is a little tight, it is better to die than to live, I will wait for the limelight to pass. ”

After a while, there were only five people left of more than ten people.

The four of them glanced at each other and looked at the man who broke the news: "Brother, haven't you finished talking yet?"

The man smiled and nodded, and took out a bamboo stick from his bosom that could send a signal: "The city lord of Xiangrui City has issued a reward order, and a Nanhe soldier can get one or two taels of silver for his head, and if he finds the traces of their general, he only needs to send a signal and summon the officers and soldiers over, and he can get at least a hundred taels of silver!"

"Damn!

"Let's form a team, after all, this is not a medicine search, it is safer to go together. ”

"No problem, but before you go, let's make it clear how to divide the silver taels if you find them. ”

Ge Qiu didn't hear what the medicine seekers in the back said, and he didn't have the heart to listen to it. Because the chicken song cave where he can lay golden eggs is not only a problem, but also a big problem - after his only son Gefa led a group of medicine seekers in, the time back and forth has already passed but he has not returned!

The group walked for miles into a thicket, and at the end of the bush, a mountain that looked like a rooster crowing appeared.

The rooster's beak is open, and there are several large and small entrances to the left and right of the beak, which look like the rooster's eyes and small black dots on the beak.

There were five men guarding each entrance, and when they saw Ge Qiu and the others, they all hurriedly ran over: "Master!"

"Twenty of you stay here, and no one will be allowed to go in until we come back!"

"Yes!"

There were a lot of torches prepared near the entrance, and one of Ge Qiu's men took one, and only a third of them lit the torches.

From the mouth of the beak-like hole into the chicken song hole, the passage is only one zhang wide.

After passing a door-like corner, the inside suddenly opened up. The longest and widest part is about ten zhang, but the inside is uneven, and in some places the corners are very deep, but they are on the stone wall.

There are more than a dozen stone paths around, some of which are visible to the naked eye and converge not far away, while others are pitch black at a glance.

Ordinary people don't know where to go when they walk here, and Ge Qiu did not hesitate to enter through a stone path on the right.

After entering the stone road, they can encounter forks from time to time, and Ge Qiu and his party soon entered the fork road, and then changed several stone paths.

Most of the people in the group were already dizzy, so they had to follow closely.

The more Ge Qiu's face grew, and the atmosphere of the team became more solemn.

After walking for a full hour, Ge Qiu raised his right hand: "Slow down!

"Yes!"

More than 100 people clenched their weapons and continued to move forward in the stone path where only their footsteps were heard.

A quarter of an hour later, the front was a little brighter. In addition to their footsteps, there were also voices ahead.

But after the voice entered the stone path, it changed a lot, and I couldn't hear what it was saying, only that its tone was frightened.

"It's Fa'er's voice, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

Ge Qiu trotted towards the exit, and when he was still some distance from the exit, the sun was shining outside, and it was very dazzling.

But Ge Fa's panicked cry became clearer and clearer, how could Ge Qiu pay attention to the sun.

Ge Qiu rushed out of the stone cave first, and outside the stone cave was a craggy and strange rock, and there were vertical and horizontal paths between the strange stones.

At the entrance to a trail, a man in his twenties was sturdyly tied to a tree trunk the thickness of an adult's thigh. There was a ball of silk cloth stuffed in his mouth, and on the ground to his left and right were unconscious men, and their weapons fell to the ground.

"Childe!"

Several people behind Ge Qiu shouted, and they were about to rush over, Ge Qiu raised two hands to block the way of his subordinates, and his eyes swept around: "You don't need to play these tricks, you are the people from Nanhe, right?"

As the head snake of the sixteenth plate, not long after the government made a move, Ge Qiu got the news.

And I also know that the people from Nanhe entered the Dangyi Mountain Range from the northwest, and there is a long distance from here. So instead of closing the channel, he wanted to make a fortune while the other channels were closed.

However, he did not have other means to guard against those who encountered Nanhe, for in the past, he or his son would only lead the way with twenty men, but recently his manpower has increased from the original twenty to eighty.

But 80 people have been put down, what is going on? Doesn't it mean that the people from Nanhe have suffered heavy losses, and there are only more than 10 people left?

"Master Ge, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

The village emerged from behind the stones behind Ge Fa, and Ge Qiu's eyes couldn't help but narrow: "Are you?"

"Master Ge can't remember me, forget it, we want to cooperate with Master Ge now, I wonder if we can give it a chance?"

"Tell the people behind you to come out and talk to me. ”

"Cooperate with me, after the matter is over, the road will go to the sky, if you don't cooperate with me, you will all die here!"

Pang Huiying got up from the village's side, and when the last word fell, an exclamation sounded behind Ge Qiu: "Ahhh

"Master, there are people in the back, there are people in the cave!"

"All around, too!"

Figures appeared all around, all with bows and arrows crudely made of branches and ropes.

Although the tip of the arrow is made of wood, it is extremely sharp, and no one dares to underestimate its penetrating power due to gravity.

Ge Qiu was unmoved, clenched his fists and stared at Pang Huiying.

"No way!"

"Then you want to die?"

More than 100 soldiers around stood up, and Ge Qiu hurriedly added: "I can promise you, but you must swear to the heavens that after you go out, you will never say to others that I am cooperating with you, but that you coerce me!"

"Haha-what's so difficult about this? I, Pang Huiying, swear to the sky, after I go out, I will definitely not tell others that Ge Qiu is cooperating with me, but is coerced by me!"

"Pang-Pang Hui wins?!"

Ge Qiu shuddered and sat down on the ground.

No matter how strong he is Ge Qiu, he has only been the king and hegemon in Sixteen Pan Town for more than 20 years, and when he goes out of Sixteen Pan Town, not to mention going to the county town, he is going to other towns, he is just a rich turtle.

And who is Pang Huiying? That is the general who even knows him in this closed traffic place!

"Huh, what, you want to go back?"

Ge Qiu gritted his teeth fiercely and knelt on the ground: "I am willing to follow the general with my family, and ask the general to agree!"

"Huh, sir, what are you?"

The subordinates who followed Ge Qiu couldn't help but cry out in shock, and Ge Qiu turned his head sharply to look at his subordinates: "Don't speak, kneel down for me!"

Ge Qiu's prestige among his subordinates was extremely high, and those men put away their weapons and knelt down together.
