Lu Xiaoxian and the three of them sat on the arrogant son nervously, and as Fan Qing shouted "get up the sedan chair", the three sedan chairs were carried by the bandits, and they swayed towards the top of the mountain.

Lu Xiaoxian looked very comfortable, but in fact he was sitting on pins and needles, and his heart was also rising and falling with the rhythm of the sedan chair.

At this moment, he regretted a little: he patronized to find Fan Ziming, but he didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath of entering the bandits' den.

The Longshan bandits have been dealing with the government for so many years, and they are still standing, which shows that their strength is not weak. In case of a meeting with Qin Huo, if he turns his face, there will inevitably be a fight.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't pay much attention to these bandits, he was just worried about Fan Ziming's safety. He secretly made a decision in his heart, if the situation was not right for a while, he must control Qin Huo first. Capture the thief and capture the king, as long as Qin Huo is in his hands, the bandits will definitely throw a mouse trap, and they and Fan Ziming will have a chance to leave here safely.

After thinking of countermeasures, Lu Xiaoxian's heart was also relieved, so he opened the side sedan curtain and enjoyed the scenery outside.

Listening to the sound of "bang, la, la", Lu Xiaoxian saw Bai Lian under the green cover falling from the sky, and his heart was shocked. The waterfall, which is as smooth as white silk, is torn into a few strands of white silk by the bare rock. The sharp collision of water, like pearls and broken jade, splashed everywhere, turned into a rain pear blossom in an instant, blooming densely on the rockside, as if sprinkled with the fragrance of spring.

Because the mountain road is too steep, I don't know how many times the bandits carrying the sedan chair have changed hands along the way.

An hour later, they finally arrived at Longshan Cottage.

Lu Xiaowu heard Fan Qing's voice sounding outside the sedan chair, "Master Lu, the big leader has already greeted you in front of the gate, please get off the sedan chair!" ”

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Lu Xiaoxian took a deep breath and stepped out of the sedan chair.

Looking up, what catches your eye is a cottage stone arch that enters the village, and a person stands under the stone door.

Why does this person look familiar?

When he got closer, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be happy: the person in front of him was none other than Huo Qing, who was drinking with Li in the backyard of Linglong Restaurant that day.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly realized.

It turned out that Qin Huo was Huo Qing, and Huo Qing was Qin Huo. Huo Qing is a pseudonym, he turned the word Qin Huo upside down, and took the homonym to become Huo Qing.

It turned out to be an old man.

Lu Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood was much happier.

He hugged his fists at Qin Huo, smiled, and asked in a pun, "I don't know if I should call you Brother Huo, or should I call you the leader of Qin?" ”

"It doesn't matter what you call you, the important thing is Brother Lu, you have come to my place as a guest!" Qin Huo came over, enthusiastically gave Lu Xiaoxian a bear hug, and laughed, "Do you remember what I said last time I parted?" It is my honor to be friends with Mr. Lu, if he meets again in the future, I will be the east, and our brothers must be drunk! I didn't expect this day to come so soon! ”

Qin Huo's sincerity was beyond words, and he was not fake at all, and his hospitality infected Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian sighed with emotion: "Yes, I didn't expect to see Qin again so soon...... Alas! I still think it's kinder to call you Brother Huo! ”

"Okay, Brother Huo, Brother Huo, you can call it whatever you want!" Qin Huo pulled Lu Xiaoxian and walked towards the village.

While walking Qin Huo, he said, "Brother Lu,

I just heard them say that you are going up the mountain, and this will make me happy. When you go up the mountain, I've prepared a banquet. Xianfeng is just right, let's go, let's drink and go, it can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for you! Although the food here can't catch up with the Linglong Restaurant, it is also a piece of my heart! ”

Zhang Meng saw that Qin Huo was so enthusiastic about Lu Xiaoxian on the side, and couldn't help but speak: Xiaoxian's popularity is really good, and even the bandit leader has become his friend.

"Brother Huo, you wait first! I don't have the heart to drink right now! Lu Xiaoxian stopped: "I came to Longshan this time to ......"

Before Lu Xiaoxian's words were finished, Qin Huo interrupted: "You just have to rest assured, the son of the Fan family is here with me!" His father has been kind to me, and I will not embarrass him, for he is a distinguished guest to me, just like you! ”

……

For several days, Qin Huo held a banquet every day to entertain Lu Xiaoxian, Zhang Meng and Xing Feng.

They didn't know how much wine they had drunk, Xing Feng had already been drunk and sluggish, and Zhang Meng was also dizzy all day long. It was Qin Huo and Lu Xiaoxian, the more they drank, the more they were interested, as if they were nothing.

At this moment, Qin Huo was leading Lu Xiaoxian to walk around the village.

A clearing appeared in front of them, this was the training camp of the bandits of Longshan, and there was a wall nearby, and beyond the wall was a cliff.

Leaving the training camp and going up, there are piles of rocks, these abrupt stones block the way up the mountain, but there is a stone cave in the crack between the stones, and the stone cave can only allow one person to pass through, and if you want to go up the mountain, you have to climb through this stone cave. And there is not only one such "stone cave", but two in a row. Outside the stone is a cliff, and inside the stone is a narrow "stone cave door", so dangerous, Lu Xiaoxian is amazed.

Passing through the two stone caves, the two of them climbed up the hill path to the right of the boulder. About fifty meters up, you will come to the summit of Longshan Cottage.

From a bird's-eye view from the bottom of the mountain, the terrain of the cottage is all treacherous, and it is indeed a good place to hide outside the world.

The terrain of Longshan is treacherous and easy to hide, and the official road passes at the foot of Longshan, and the important goods carried by the convoys are the survival goals of the bandits, who can plunder the merchants who pass by at any time.

Qin Huo pointed to the mountain peak on the other side and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "There is also a spare small camp over there, if the cottage is breached, you can withdraw to that side." The road leading to the reserve camp is narrow and difficult, and if you stumble, you will fall off a cliff, even if there are pursuers! ”

Lu Xiaoxian joked: "Brother Huo has revealed all your details to me, aren't you afraid that I will tell the government about the situation in the stockade!" ”

"What is there to be afraid of, even if the government knows, how can they bear me?" Qin Huo's eyes were blazing and he said, "Besides, I believe that Brother Lu would not do such a thing, since I recognize you as a friend, I naturally won't look away!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian thought of Fan Ziming, and he asked Qin Huo: "Brother Huo, I heard Fan Yuanwai say that he was kind to you, is this true?" ”

"That's right, Fan Yuanwai is indeed kind to me!" Qin Huo said bluntly, "Three years ago, once we robbed a batch of goods, and we didn't want to be ambushed by Fang Hatshui, and I was injured in the fight. Later, although he managed to escape his pursuit, he passed out in a small wood. It just so happened that Fan Yuanwai was escorting goods to pass through here, and he woke me up, but he didn't know my identity at that time, so he put me

I took it into Yingzhou City, and I also asked Langzhong to treat my injury, and after the injury was healed, I left Yingzhou and returned to the cottage. Later, I sneaked into Yingzhou to thank him in person, telling him that if he was in trouble in the future, he could come to Longshan to find me. After that, as long as the goods of the Fan family, the Longshan bandits never touched it. ”

"I see!" Lu Xiaoxian asked, "Brother Huo, you also know about the affairs outside Fan Yuan, now that Fan Gongzi has come to you for help, what are you going to do?" ”

Qin Huo said loudly: "The grace of receiving a drop of water from people should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the grace of saving lives!" I will never sit idly by and watch the affairs of the Fan family, I have already arranged for someone to go to Yingzhou to inquire about the situation, if it really doesn't work, I will go to rob the prison! ”

When Lu Xiaoxian heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Brother Huo! No, never! ”

Qin Huo glanced at Lu Xiaoxian: "Why not?" Are you worried that I won't be able to save him? ”

"Not really!" Lu Xiaoxian explained, "Fan Yuanwai was wronged, if you want to rob the prison, then his crime will not be confirmed." Besides, even if you succeed in robbing the prison, how can you settle them, you can't let them go up the mountain and join the gangsters, right? ”

Qin Huo nodded slightly, what Lu Xiaoxian said was not unreasonable.

He looked at Lu Xiaoxian: "Then according to your shield, what should I do about this?" ”

"Fan Gongzi and I are also friends, I have already asked someone to help with the affairs outside of Fan Yuan, and I should be released in a few days! Brother Huo, if you believe me, just wait a few more days. If I don't get any results here, it's not too late for you to rob the prison again. How is it? ”

"How could I not trust you?" Qin Huo patted Lu Xiaoxian's shoulder, "This is the best!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian hit the railway while it was hot: "Brother Huo, I'll do the thing of saving people, but there is one thing I have to trouble you!" ”

Qin Huo said boldly: "What's the matter?" Just say it! As long as I can do it, no problem! ”

Lu Xiaoxian sighed: "The reason why Fan Yuanwai was imprisoned was caused by a jade deer inherited from his family. Now, this jade deer has been stolen and disappeared. I hope that Brother Huo can find a way to get Yulu back, and he will return to Zhao after that! ”

"Who stole the jade deer?" Qin Huo said with a bitter face: "If there are some clues, it's okay to say, if there are no clues, wouldn't it be a needle in a haystack?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yulu may have been sent to the Khitans!" ”

"Where are the Khitans?" Qin Huo smiled and said, "If it's really as you said, then it's easy to do!" I still have some friendship with the Khitan leader Li Qianzhong, if he really refuses to give, it's a big deal that I will exchange the jade deer with grain. The Khitan has been suffering from disasters for several years in a row, and what they lack most now is food! ”

Hearing Qin Huo say this, Lu Xiaoxian's heart couldn't help but sink: the Khitan people can't survive because of the drought, and if they don't hurry up and find a way to solve the disaster relief matter, maybe there will be a big mess.

Lu Xiaoxian seemed to remember something again, he hesitated and asked, "Brother Huo, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Qin Huo waved his hand and said, "Since we are brothers, just say what you have to say, don't be so mother-in-law!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian pondered and said: "Brother Huo is righteous, both civil and military, why do you want to fall into the grass?" It's certainly not a long-term solution! ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Qin Huo's face was a little gloomy.
