Chapter 25 The majestic paradise of Taihang

The towering Taihang Hero Mountain, the hidden bowstring of Li Shelu Pass, the sound of dragons and tigers leaping and killing, and the wolves rushing to the enemy are cold. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info traveled all the way and finally arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and after meeting with Xue Gang and his party, along the mountain path, Wang Yongan and his caravan entered Taihang Mountain.

Since entering Taihang Mountain, I have constantly encountered the sentinels of Dazhai along the way, sometimes a woodcutter chopping wood, sometimes a hunter hunting, and sometimes even an old man fishing in the mountain river. As soon as the leader of the pathfinder entered the mountain, he unfurled the flying tiger flag of Wang Yong'an's Green Forest Alliance leader, and a red pennant was embroidered with a flying tiger with black thread. So the sentries took the initiative to say hello!

After walking for two whole days, the caravan came to a mountain stream, where a huge waterfall hung on the cliff, and the water currents hundreds of feet high crashed into the pool, making a huge roar, splashing water, and reflecting a rainbow in the sun. Wang Yongan raised his hand and motioned for everyone to rest by the river!

In the narrow passage on the opposite side of the mountain stream, a team of people and horses poured out, and at the mouth of the valley to both sides, three horses came out of the crowd, and a huge black horse sat on a giant man, Li Ziqiu estimated that he could have three of his own, with a leopard's head and eyes, and his voice was like a huge thunder, "Alliance leader!" It's been a long time! ”。 The three horses ran to the front, the men on the horses flew and dismounted, and the cavalry who followed behind all sat upright and lined up neatly!

Wang Yongan walked towards the other party, and Li Ziqiu and Xue Gang followed closely behind. "Xiong Da, it's always been good! I miss my brother to death! After Xiong Datianwang and Wang Yongan hugged warmly, Wang Yongan saluted the two people behind him, "Flying Tiger has seen the leader of the alliance!" Yu Feihu, the master of the second village, clasped his fists at Wang Yongan and saluted, "Meng Fei has seen the alliance leader!" "Jade-faced Xiaolangjun Meng Feiliang silver helmet bright silver chain mail wearing a purple and gold crown and embroidered robes, Li Ziqiu felt that he had the potential to be a little white face.

"Come on! Come! I'll introduce you three to a young hero! Wang Yongan said and pulled Xue Gang down, "This is Xue Gang, the Tongcheng Tiger who made a lot of trouble in the capital!" Xue Gang clasped his fists and saluted: "Xue Gang has seen three heroes!" Xiong Da and they also hugged their fists and saluted: "Long Yang, long Yang, Wang Meng, let's go into the mountain and talk again!" ”。

Xiong Datou led the way, and Wang Yongan took Xue Gang and Li Ziqiu to follow, walking towards the opposite valley! The valley is in the shape of a trumpet, the narrowest place has built the walled gate, all are made of huge stones, up to more than six zhang, at this time the walled gate has been opened, enter the walled gate and walk a mile again, after going out of the canyon, the eyes suddenly open up.

A basin surrounded by mountains, green mountains and green trees, small rivers flowing, large crops are about to ripen, the fields are full of farmers, women and children are washing and playing by the river, seeing a group of people coming, they are all friendly hello, what a paradise, completely beyond Li Ziqiu's imagination!

After everyone got out of the valley, they got on their horses and left, and the others were naturally received, Xue Gang followed closely behind Wang Yongan, and Li Ziqiu admired his father-in-law's courage, he hadn't come for several years, so he took the two of them into Xiong Dazhai with confidence. The village is built on the mountain, the roads are made of rocks, and on both sides of the road are a family of farmers built mainly of timber, each with a small yard.

"Xiong Da, you have worked hard for so many years, and our village has developed well!" Wang Yongan said to Xiong Da. Lord Xiong is tall and big, and walking around gives people a huge sense of oppression, "The alliance leader smiled, if there is no alliance leader to operate outside, and the cottage has no financial resources to develop, Xiong Da will not dare to be greedy!" ”。

Juyi Hall, built with huge logs, spacious and bright, can accommodate 500 people at the same time, the innermost one thousand high platform is placed in the middle of a chair, draped in tiger skin, there are three transactions on each side of the platform, below are rows of huge wooden tables, on both sides of the table are wooden piers made of logs, no matter the tables and chairs have been smoothed by the oil, it seems that it has been used for many years.

Xiong Da asked Wang Yongan to sit in the middle chair, "Old alliance leader, please take a seat!" Li Ziqiu noticed that Xiong Da's title had changed, he was still called the leader of the alliance just now, and now he has become the old leader of the alliance. Wang Yongan waved his hand, "You are the master of the big village, so naturally you are sitting!" Xiong Da excused himself: "Since the old alliance leader is here, it is naturally the old alliance leader who sits on the throne!"

Wang Yongan insisted on not sitting, "Old Xiong, don't be polite, although I am the leader of the alliance, but the affairs in the village have always been the responsibility of the owner of the village, how can I be so noisy", Yu Feihu and Meng Fei also persuaded next to him, "It's better for the old alliance leader to sit in the middle, do you still have to abide by the old rules?" ”。

Wang Yongan said: "Don't persuade you, don't hide it, I came this time to prepare a golden basin to wash my hands, so I won't sit in the seat of the owner of the village, I can sit in any seat next to me!" Seeing Wang Yongan say this, Xiong Da said: "Since this is the case, then I will not be polite, and if you are polite, our brothers will be very angry!" ”。

Wang Yongan took Xue Gang to sit down on the chair on the left, Li Ziqiu stood behind Wang Yongan, Xue Gang sat on Wang Yongan's hand, and Yu Feihu and Meng Fei sat on the chair on the right. A maid brought tea, the bear waved his hand, and the guards and maids standing in the hall walked out.

Xiong Da said: "Old alliance leader, you are here today, but there is something?" Wang Yongan said: "I'm already old, it's no longer appropriate to be the leader of the alliance, you know, we were originally a retreat arranged by the elders here, but now, the old people are almost gone, and there is no friendship between the young people like the older generation." I won't hide it from you, the old uncle of the old country, I will tell you what I have arranged, as for how to choose, you three village owners will think about it carefully, I am ready to wash my hands in the golden basin and withdraw from the rivers and lakes."

Xiong Da saw that Wang Yongan said solemnly, and also said solemnly: "Old alliance leader, please speak face to face, my old Xiong is not an ungrateful and unrighteous person, let's discuss something!" Yu Feihu and Meng Fei also agreed.

Wang Yongan pointed at Xue Gang and said: "I asked my son Jiayu to go to Chang'an before, and the old prince asked the third lord Xue Gang to come back with Jiayu, you also know that Xue Gang is now wanted by the imperial court, and the old prince means to let Xue Gang take over the position of the leader of the alliance!" Xiong Da didn't speak, Meng Fei was just about to speak, Wang Yongan waved his hand and continued: "Listen to me, Xue Gang intends to raise the banner of righteousness to recruit troops and horses to resist the Wu family, so the old prince let him take over as the leader of the alliance, he is also well-intentioned, and he is stable in the mountains, but only for the national merit can he become rich and prosperous, and glorify his ancestors, what did our ancestors do, everyone knows that it is not because of following Taizong that he can be famous for a hundred years?" , so don't waste the kindness of the old man!. ”

Wang Yongan drank saliva and said: "We are old, but there are many young people in the village, give them a chance to struggle, it is also what we old people should do, the third lord Xue Gang, has fame, has a relationship, follow him, once successful, it is not difficult to win a wife and a shadow in the future, so, the three owners of the village think about it, don't be in a hurry to reply, I live here for three days, after three days, you give me an answer, no matter what, you can't spoil our feelings, okay?" ”。

Xiong Da pondered for a while, "The old alliance leader, the kindness of the old prince, we have received it, I need to discuss this matter with my brothers, as you said, after three days, I will definitely give you an explanation, please rest assured that the old alliance leader will not damage our feelings!" ”。 Wang Yongan laughed, "When the business is over, Ziqiu, I will give you a new salute to your uncles!" Li Ziqiu came out from behind Wang Yongan, knelt down and kowtowed to the three village owners, Wang Yongan said: "His name is Li Ziqiu, he is my son-in-law, you should take care of him in the future!" ”。

Xiong laughed: "It turned out to be the old alliance leader's coquettish, what a handsome little Langjun, but he can compare our three village masters!" Li Ziqiu said: "Don't dare to be, the master of Sanzhai is majestic, and the little nephew is far behind!" ”。 The three of them all had a meeting gift, which was nothing more than a gold ingot, and Li Ziqiu accepted it under Wang Yongan's instructions.

Xiong commanded loudly: "Come on, tell the people below, hold a banquet in the Juyi Hall in the evening, and wash the dust for the old alliance lord and the third lord lord!" ”。 Xiong Da clasped his fist at Wang Yongan and saluted: "Please rest for a while, the old alliance leader will not be drunk at night!" A subordinate came in and beckoned Wang Yongan and them to go to the room to rest. Wang Yongan clenched his fists: "Old Xiong, farewell!" ”。

Li Ziqiu and they were arranged in a small building near the Juyi Hall, a two-story building, which was well furnished, Wang Yongan said to Li Ziqiu and Xue Gang: "Xiong Da looks rude, in fact, this person is very careful, you have also seen the situation here today, it can be said that General Xiong is running a good business here, Xue Gang, if you want to get their support, only enough benefits can impress them, otherwise it is useless, three days later, I will leave with Ziqiu, if you want, I can also take you away, specific choice, It's up to you."

Leaving Xue Gang alone, Wang Yongan took Li Ziqiu to the second floor, "Ziqiu, you don't have to be nervous, Xiong Da will not do anything to us, we have no ill will towards him, and the guards we brought are not around, just to show our trust and selflessness, the valley can be safely maintained to the current situation, in addition to the business outside the valley, the relationship between the government and the government is also taken care of by me, and he doesn't dare to do anything, if I don't deal with these relationships outside, the valley would have been wiped out by the imperial court a long time ago, and the old bear knows what to do!" ”。

Li Ziqiu asked, "Father-in-law, don't you want a golden basin to wash your hands?" Wang Yongan said with a smile: "After I have finished arranging, I will wash my hands and see what Lao Xiong does, if things go well, I will hand over the corresponding people to him, if it doesn't go well, I will hand over some people to Xue Gang, and Lao Xiong can only give a small part here." After I retire, if someone comes to find trouble, you have to deal with it for me, originally these things were your eldest brother's business, but now that you are more powerful, I will let you deal with it better in the future! ”。 Li Ziqiu also smiled, "Okay! Father-in-law rest assured! Is this Xiong Da also a descendant of the Wagang Army? ”

Wang Yongan sighed: "Hey! That's a long story! Xiong Da's father Xiong Kuohai is a great hero, he was the master of this Taihang Mountain, the cooked copper water and fire ruthless stick in the palm, the iron-backed copper string earthquake bow, two wheel axes, there is the courage of ten thousand people, the eighteenth road anti-king party in Ganzhou, in order to save the eighteen-way anti-king, force to support the jack gate and die, this Xiong Da you also saw, immediately kung fu is not under his father, I was not his opponent back then, this person is bold and careful, is a rare talent! ”。

Li Ziqiu said: "If he returns to the imperial court, he will definitely be a fierce general again!" Wang Yongan sighed, "The world is impermanent, and now the court is also in chaos, and Lao Xiong has seen through it!" Take a break! ”。 Although Wang Yongan said that he was in good health, after all, he was old, and he was tired all the way, so Li Ziqiu served his old father-in-law to lie down and rest.
