39 Chapter 39 The Horse Gang
In a large courtyard in Qiujiazhuang, at this time, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples and a slightly dark face was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with a frown, looking very anxious. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This middle-aged man is the head of Qiujiazhuang - Qiu Qingshan.
Suddenly, a sturdy young man ran in from outside the courtyard gate, and shouted without even breathing, "Master... Master, the three masters of the horse gang just came to urge again, saying that if they don't pay the 'annual payment' of 50,000 taels before the sun sets today, they will directly attack our Zhuangzi himself and rob it. ”
"Hmph, it's so deceitful... Too much deception. He scolded indignantly, and rushed out of the courtyard. And the young man followed.
The two of them went up to the earthen wall of Qiujiazhuang one after the other, Qiu Qingshan stood on the earthen wall, looking at it with an extremely ugly face, there were about more than 100 meters away from the earthen wall, and there were a crowd of people riding high-headed horses, these people had at least more than 1,000 people, and they were all holding weapons, looking at the children of Duoqiujiazhuang on the earthen wall with a greedy and provocative face. This is exactly what the horse gangs are.
The horse gang, the only, largest and strongest horse bandit gang around Dayan Mountain, has nearly 10,000 people. There are a total of five masters, among which the big master, Ma Kui, is a strong person whose cultivation has reached the middle heaven position, and the other four masters have also reached the small heaven level, and there are dozens of small leaders with perfect star ranks.
In fact, this horse gang has only appeared in the past three years, and it turns out that there are many horse bandit gangs around Dayan Mountain, but three years ago, they were unified under Ma Kui's strong force, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth masters are four horse bandit leaders who have taken refuge in Ma Kui.
A year ago, Lu Youwei, the city guard of Dayan City, also sent troops to encircle and suppress, but the encirclement and suppression failed and the spies of the Ma Gang got the news in advance, and they were ambushed by the Ma Gang on the way to encircle and suppress, so they lost a soldier and lost their generals, that is, the city defender - Lu Youwei was also seriously injured and returned. After that, the arrogance of the caravan became even stronger. The villages and even towns around Dayan Mountain have to pay a certain amount of annual payment every year, which is actually a protection fee.
"Master Qiu, our big boss has spoken, this year's annual payment must be paid in advance, so I'm sorry, I'm still bothering the head of the Qiu family, but I will prepare the annual payment of 50,000 taels of silver as soon as possible, so that my brother and I can go back with the silver to restore my life." Under the earthen wall, a man with triangular eyes on a maroon horse saw the emerging Qiu Qingshan and shouted loudly.
This is the three masters of the horse gang - Huang Mazi, the reason why he is called Huang Mazi is very simple, because he has a big cake face covered with pockmarks. Although the name is not very good, it is a sinister and ruthless villain, and it is difficult to meet opponents among the monks of the small heavenly rank.
"Third Master Huang, this suddenly asked my Qiujiazhuang to come up with an annual payment of 50,000 taels, and we really can't take it out. Huang Sanye, otherwise, I will be given half a month in Qiujiazhuang, and I will definitely offer 50,000 taels of silver a year. What do you think? Qiu Qingshan held back the resentment in his heart, looked at the yellow mazi under the earthen wall with a smile and shouted.
"Oops... Master Qiu, I'm afraid this will make it difficult for me to explain to the big boss. The annual payment is early, and it is possible that you are not ready for a while in Qiujiazhuang, but this half month is too long, so... Today, I will sell my brother a face, tomorrow before the sun sets in the east, my brother will come again, and then the head of the Qiu family will not make my brother embarrassed? Brothers, go!" Huang Mazi shouted like Qiu Qingshan with a big face.
After shouting, Huang Mazi directly waved the whip in his hand at the horse bandit, and then the red horse under his crotch turned around and left. At the same time, the more than 1,000 horse bandits also waved the horse whips in their hands one by one and galloped away, raising dust all the way.
"Big brother, what now? Is it true that tomorrow we will have to hand over an annual payment of 50,000 taels? That's the savings of our entire Qiujiazhuang for nearly three years. Why don't we ask the castle keeper for help. A middle-aged man on Qiu Qingshan's left who looked four or five points similar to Qiu Qingshan asked with a worried brow. This person is the second head of Qiujiazhuang - Qiu Qinghe, Qiu Qingshan's younger brother.
"It's better not to trouble Lord Castle Guard, and even if you invite Lord Castle Guard to come and bring troops to stop the horse gang back once, what about the second time? What's more, the strength of his horse gang is something that even the city guards are afraid of. This year's annual payment should be paid first. As for next year, I will think about it again, and it will be a big deal to disperse Qiujiazhuang. Qiu Qingshan said helplessly and gritted his teeth.
"Hey... This is all accumulated by our Qiujiazhuang's hard work. That's it for these bandits...! I can't swallow that. Qiu Qinghe sighed, looking helpless.
"If you can't swallow it, what can you do? I only blame our Qiujiazhuang for being too weak, and I only blame me, the head of the family, for only having the cultivation of a small heavenly position. As he spoke, he went down the earthen wall lonely, and the back stretched by the setting sun seemed to be a little older all of a sudden.
As the sun sets, the glow fades, and the twilight thickens, more than a dozen figures are scurrying quickly and swiftly in the already faintly dim dense forest. After running like this for nearly ten minutes, the figure in front of him stopped, looking at a Zhuangzi not far from the bottom of the mountain with some excitement. This figure is none other than Qiu Ning.
"It's here! It's here! It's here! Qiu Ning looked at Zhuangzi under the mountain excitedly, and shouted to Zhang Yi, Anna, and Caesar behind him.
Zhang Yi and the others naturally understood Qiu Ning's current mood, and they all felt a little empathy. Zhang Yi stepped forward and patted Qiu Ning's shoulder and said, "Since you have arrived, let's go down." Our little sister has been crying out for a long time that she is hungry. ”
"Humph! You're crying out you're hungry! I didn't! Little Anna pouted, looking unacknowledged.
"Yes, yes, we're hungry. Walk! Walk! Walk! When the time comes, I will ask my father to kill the head sheep to comfort everyone. After laughing, Qiu Ning couldn't wait to rush down towards the Zhuangzi below.
In just five or six minutes, Qiu Ning and more than a dozen other people had already rushed to the gate of Qiujiazhuang, and the two big men guarding the earthen wall also saw more than a dozen young and even young figures under the earthen wall. One of the long-faced men always looked at Qiu Ning below with an indescribable familiarity, but he didn't recognize it for a while.
"Uncle Dali, I'm Xiao Ning. Open the banker quickly. Qiu Ning shouted at the long-faced man on the earthen wall with a bright smile on his face.
"It's... Young Master Xiao Ning, it's Young Master Xiao Ning! Quick, fast... Open the banker's door! As soon as Qiu Ning shouted like this, the long-faced man recognized Qiu Ning at once, and at the same time, the horse urged the people guarding below to open the door of the village so that Qiu Ning and the others could come in.
Soon, the door of the village opened, Qiu Ning and the others quickly stepped into the Zhuangzi, Qiu Ning was no longer able to control the excitement in his heart, when he entered the gate of the village, he jumped up to the earthen wall with a 'whoosh', and shouted loudly to the whole Zhuangzi: "I, Qiu Ning is back!" ”
This shout, almost the entire Qiujiazhuang people heard it, and Qiu Qingshan, who had just returned to the courtyard, was naturally the same, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then the frowning brows were also instantly stretched, and they were also replaced by a color of excitement that was difficult to control. The next moment, the whole person's figure rose directly into the air and quickly walked towards the gate of the village.
That is, in the time of two or three breaths, Qiu Qingshan saw the familiar and mature Qiu Ning standing on the earthen wall, and saw that he was almost in tears. And Qiu Ning naturally saw Qiu Qingshan, who was familiar and a lot older in mid-air, and directly took a longitudinal figure, and the next moment, the father and son came to a big hug.
"Woo... Woo...! I miss my dad and mom too! Seeing this scene, Xiao Anna was so infected that she cried directly. The rest of the people are also envious and happy for Qiu Ning, such a father-son reunion will naturally make people can't help but think of their own home, their own parents.
"Haha! Good son! I'm already as tall as my father. Qiu Qingshan's eyes were also slightly red, and he patted his son's shoulder heavily.
"By the way, father, I am already an elite disciple of the Tianyuan Sect now. And when I came back this time, there were a few senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior sisters who came together, all below. Qiu Ning said with some pride. He knew that there was nothing more pleasing to Qiu Qingshan.
"Elite... Disciple! Qiu Qingshan seemed to be a little confused for a while, looked at his son in front of him in disbelief, and muttered a little.
Qiu Qingshan knows what it means to be an elite disciple, every elite disciple is an outstanding person, and at the same time, they will all be valued by the sect, and the future is bright, even if there is a Tianyuan Sect, the status is also extremely noble, and it is inevitable to be an official in the court. What's more, it is an elite disciple from the ten major super forces, the Tian Yuan Sect.
