Qishan is a mountain in Yangxinbang near Hongye Town, this mountain is only five miles in circumference, and the highest point is only 100 zhang. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion is called Flag Mountain because there is only one main peak that is high and protruding, and the whole mountain looks like a military flag, but the locals usually call it Hat Mountain.

The reputation of this mountain is not good in the surrounding area, as it is the nest of many bandits. There are many different factions in the mountains, and there are more than a dozen of them, large and small. The largest of these is the Sabre Gang, as the name suggests, a gang of many horse thieves with the usual style of horse thieves and ruthlessness.

The other bandits are weaker, but whenever the Sabres want to annex them, they unite to form a force that is not weaker than the Sabres. Under the scruples of the two sides, the mountain also maintains a delicate balance.

Jiang Qin tidied up the shabby clothes on his body, put away the shading jade pendant, and squatted in a bush at the foot of Qishan Mountain. The dress he had taken from the man he had infiltrated last night.

Although Jiang Qin is a cultivator, it doesn't mean that he can ignore mortals. Not to mention anything else, just what he knew, there were no less than five kinds of medicines that could poison cultivators, and he had used them himself. So for the sake of his own life, he did not sneak directly into Qishan, but chose to observe for a while before speaking.

As for the purpose of coming to Qishan, Jiang Qin had already thought about it. He came here to blend in with the slave team of Qishan and get an upright identity, so as to escape the pursuit of Yang Xinzong.

The bandits on Qishan are all doing things like licking blood with knives, and they may die one day, so they pay attention to enjoyment. Although they are located in the mountains, their life is no less luxurious than in the town, and even more so. So there were a large number of slaves in the mountains for them to drive, most of them were forcibly taken from various villages, and some of them were the descendants of slaves.

The thieves who kidnapped slaves would not register for them, plus these people came from different villages and did not know each other, as long as Jiang Qin was mixed in, he was not afraid of being recognized.

As for how to escape, Jiang Qin had already thought about it.

The Yangxin Gang is now preparing to start a war with the Yanxian Gang, and it will definitely need a large number of people, and the bandits on Qishan and the slaves on the mountain are definitely the best cannon fodder. If ordinary villagers are conscripted to participate in the war, the Yangxin Gang will definitely pay some pensions after these people die in the war to comfort their families and avoid causing a popular uprising.

And these bandits and slaves are different, after they die in battle, the Yangxin Gang does not have to pay a price, and they do not have to be afraid of who will be dissatisfied. Jiang Qin even thought that the bandits on the entire Qishan Mountain would not all be raised by Yang Xin.

After observing for a while, Jiang Qin climbed up the flag mountain from a sunny side. In order not to be discovered by the sentry on the mountain, Jiang Qin applied the Heavenly Eye Technique to himself, so that he could discover some secret sentry.

After coming to the halfway point of the mountain, there were more people. There are thieves with long knives at their waists, and there are slaves with lowered eyebrows. The slaves, all of whom were yellow-skinned and had their feet chained, either followed the bandits or had some bowls and basins in their hands, as if they were preparing for a feast.

"Luckily, these bandits seem to be ready to gather for a feast, in this case, there shouldn't be so many people in other places, and we must quickly find a place to hold the slaves." Jiang Qin thought to himself.

Without attracting anyone's attention, Jiang Qin came to a cave with "three" written on it.

The cave is about three feet high, and the entrance to the cave is sealed by an iron fence, leaving only a small door one person high for entry and exit. At this time, the small door was wide open, and it was empty, and it seemed that this was the place where the slaves were held.

After Jiang Qin checked it, he was ready to find a place to hide, and prepared to mix among the slaves and enter the cave after the banquet. But when he turned around, his face became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These bandits deserve to die!" ”

In front of Jiang Qin, there was a deep pit ten zhang wide, and the pit was full of white bones, and there were so many white bones that the ground could no longer be seen. On the top of the bones lay some corpses, most of them shriveled and scarred, looking like they had been starved to death, and some were mutilated, apparently killed.

It wasn't the first time Jiang Qin had seen a dead person, he had seen more dead people than this, but he had never been so angry in his heart. He wouldn't mind sending these bandits on his way if he could. But now he can't protect himself, and he can only wait until he has the strength in the future to avenge these dead souls.

After making a decision in his heart, Jiang Qin went down to the pit, removed the chain from the foot of a skeleton, and hid.

After about two hours, there was the sound of chains pounding on the ground. Jiang Qin came out of his hiding place and saw the No. 100 slave walking over under the drive of four or five bandits.

Taking advantage of the fact that several thieves were not paying attention, Jiang Qin dodged and blended into the slave team, followed the lifeless appearance of the other slaves, and slowly walked towards the cave.

After the last slave entered the cave, the thieves locked the small door and left with some laughter.

After the bandits left, there was still a dead silence in the cave, and no one spoke. Some of the slaves stared at Mu Ran's eyes in a daze, while others just lay on the ground and closed their eyes.

From their eyes, Jiang Qin saw a kind of dead air, a kind of dead air that was loveless. Even if there is no one to watch them now, these people will not run away, and they can still move now, relying only on instinct.

Just when Jiang Qin was a little emotional, a timid voice came, "Brother, you're new here, right?" ”

Jiang Qin turned his head and saw that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who spoke, although he was very thin, he still had a smile on his face.

"How do you know?" Jiang Qin said.

"Because my brother's face and clothes are very clean, he looks like a newcomer." The boy said.

The boy's innocent words scared Jiang Qin into a cold sweat, it seemed that he was still careless. If this is seen by the bandits, I am afraid that I will be exposed to the risk.

"Brother is new here, what's your name and how long have you been here?" Jiang Qin asked.

"My name is Shanwa, I'm from Giorthoorn Village, what's your name, brother?" Shanwa asked innocently.

"My brother's name is Shen, and my brother's name is Jiang Qin." For some reason, looking at the boy's innocent appearance, Jiang Qin couldn't help but tell the truth.

"My brother's name is so nice. My sister also has a nice name, her name is Reiko. Shanwa said proudly.

"It's a good name, is she here too?" Jiang Qin couldn't help but ask.

"No, when the bandits attacked the village, Lingzi and I were scattered, and only me and Uncle Yang were caught here in the village, everyone else died, and Uncle Yang was also executed a few days ago." Shanwa's voice became lower and lower.

Just when Jiang Qin was about to comfort Shanwa, Shanwa looked at Jiang Qin with a look of hope and said, "Can my brother help me take care of Lingzi in the future?" ”

"My brother is also locked up here now, how can I help you take care of Reiko." Jiang Qin said.

"I don't know why, I feel that my brother must not be an ordinary person in the future, and he will definitely be able to escape!" Shanwa said affirmatively.

Hearing Shanwa say this, Jiang Qin sighed and said, "My brother is still in a lot of trouble, if you take her by your side, it will hurt her." ”

"I don't have to ask my brother to take her with me, as long as my brother can help a little, Shanwa will be grateful." Shanwa said.

When Jiang Qin was about to answer, the door of the cave was opened, and a hideous-looking thief said loudly at the door, "Come and wait for Uncle Ben to drink!" ”

After waiting for a while, and finding that no one had come out, the thief's face flashed with anger, his head bowed, and he entered the cave, where he punched and kicked the slaves. After venting, the bandit left with five children, including the mountain baby.

At dawn the next day, the bandit came to the cave again and shouted loudly: "The adults of the Flame Sect have come to see you, and the tricks are all highlighted, don't make trouble for the masters, otherwise I will guarantee that you will not be able to survive or die, now come out one by one and go to the hall." ”

"It's coming really fast." Hearing that the Flame Sect was coming, Jiang Qin thought to himself.

When passing by the big pit, Jiang Qin casually glanced at it and found that there were several more corpses inside, one of which he was somewhat familiar with, and if he looked closely, it was Shanwa!

Jiang Qin looked at the bandit walking in front, and his heart burned with anger, and he couldn't wait to immediately step forward to kill him and avenge the mountain baby. But reason told him that not only might he not be able to take revenge, but even he would be exposed immediately and invite death. After keeping that person's face firmly in mind, Jiang Qin followed the team.

At this time, in a hall halfway up the Qishan Mountain, Ma Rongzheng, the leader of the Saber Gang, looked at the person sitting on the main seat with a flattering face, and his scarred face was eager to squeeze out a flower.

"Have you brought all the slaves you have caught recently, but this immortal master is very busy. If it is delayed, this immortal master will burn the entire mountain! The man sitting on the Lord said impatiently.

"Immortal Master Tang is angry, people will bring it immediately, and it will definitely not delay your business." After Ma Rong finished speaking, he handed over a bag.

Seeing that Ma Rong was so sensible, the immortal master surnamed Tang had a smile on his face, nodded and accepted the bag.

Not long after, Jiang Qin and his party were brought into the hall.

"Tang Immortal Master, this is the slave of Cave No. 3, please check it." Ma Rong said.

Tang Immortal Master ignored Ma Rong, squinted his eyes at Jiang Qin and his party, and after looking at it for a while, he said to Ma Rong, "I have no problem checking here, it's up to you below." ”

After Ma Rong slapped another sycophant, he said to the scholar-like man standing aside, "Strategist, let's start." ”

"Yes, helper. One by one, you come to me and say your name and the village you are from, and who else is here. After the scholar finished speaking, he took out a very thick booklet and flipped it up.

The slaves standing in front had already walked up to the scholar one by one and began to say something, but the strange thing was that Jiang Qin and the others couldn't hear it at all.

"It seems that the Tang Immortal Master did it." Jiang Qin thought to himself.

Whenever there was a person, the scholar would write and draw in the booklet, as if he knew everyone well. Jiang Qin scoffed at this, he didn't believe that these murderous thieves would make a roster for these extremely despicable slaves in their eyes. Most of them were just used to fool that Tang Immortal Master.

Finally, it was Jiang Qin's turn.

"Giethoorn Village, Yang Bai, I'm the only one left here."
