Chapter 258: Coffin Mountain
The mountain between Wangjia Village and Coffin Mountain is called 'Nangou Yin Slope'.
Wang Zhen took Miqu and a few village villagers to quietly touch a steep hillside.
"There's someone over here!" Someone suddenly shouted in the darkness, and then chased after him with a knife.
Wang Zhen frowned.
Even there are people guarding this side, and the other party is going to leave no one alive.
"Run!"
Several village heroes were familiar with the terrain and led Wang Zhen's master and servant through the mountains and forests to run fast.
Feet on the snow and fallen leaves in the forest, rustling, the pursuers behind them always followed.
Arrows were fired, and from time to time a village warrior fell to the ground screaming.
After a while, the group went around a bush and ran for a long time, when they suddenly ran into another group of men with knives. Genius to remember in a second
"Kill!"
There are no superfluous commands.
The two teams came up and slashed down with their knives, and there were several more corpses on the ground in an instant.
"Hurry up, young master, let......'s go," Mi Qu shouted, and saw that the figure in a Confucian shirt was cut off with a knife.
Then, a long knife stabbed Miqu in the chest.
Mi Qu let out a painful cry and slowly fell to the ground.
The jujube branches on his head reflected the moon like a hook, and the light in the eyes of the young boy gradually receded.
He remembered a lot in this moment.
A long time ago, I followed the eldest young master to pick dates here...... It's a pity it's winter.
If he hadn't been sold to the Wang family since he was a child, he would have starved to death and frozen to death in this year, right?
The eldest young master wanted to let himself study hard, and said that in the future, he would let go of his deed like a mash to take the Xiucai exam. But how can reading be happy as a little servant in the Wang family? Eat and drink well, work is not heavy, and there is change to eat tea and listen to books.
In my memory, the teahouse was lively, and Mr. Storyteller slapped his fan and talked about Grandpa Yue's loyalty and courage...... Miqu's eyes slowly closed.
The villages below the hill were ablaze, and the cries of killing were intermittent in the night wind.
"Young Master?" Someone sneered and muttered, hooked the corpse in a Confucian shirt with his foot, and asked his companion with some surprise, "This is Wang Zhen?" Have we made a meritorious service? β
"Damn! His clothes were put on haphazardly......"
The crowd burst into shouts.
"Let's go, Wang Zhen! Chase! β
β¦β¦
After the footsteps passed, a figure emerged from the bushes.
Wang Zhen wore a single coat and ran fast in the mountains and forests.
There were a few sad cries from afar, and he listened to the last sound of Miqu, and the gloom in his eyes was another layer.
People in this world live to be thirty years old, how much sadness and separation, life and death have been seen, and in the end, they can only swallow the new guilt and pain added tonight!
When I was young, I only felt that reading was hard, but now I feel that the most bitter thing is human feelings.
But no matter how bitter it is, you can only chew it non-stop.
The mountain road of Coffin Mountain was rugged, and the middle-aged scholar ran all the way out of breath.
He didn't know what he was thinking along the way, he just kept running on his feet.
Finally, the banner of the lonely cottage was in sight, and someone in the mountain road shouted: "Who?!" β
~~
Lonely cottage.
The plaque hanging in the hall has the words "prosperous business" written on it, and the words are very ordinary.
Wang Zhen felt that this plaque was snatched by Liu Kou and hung it indiscriminately.
Liu Yikou is tall and big, and he looks a little ugly, but he can't hide the majesty on his body.
He was rude on the outside, but he was very assertive in his heart, and rejected Wang Zhen's request for help.
"Lao Tzu just looked at it on the mountain, Wangjia Village was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, which must have been done by officers and soldiers." Liu Yikou said: "If it is a bandit or bandit, it is enough to rush in and grab it." Now it is like this, but it is to slaughter the village. β
"It's a power struggle." Wang Zhen said calmly, "My second brother has moved to the Beijing camp to rescue the soldiers, and he is on his way here at this time. I just ask Liu Da to take people down to stop it, so that fewer people can die. As long as I can solve the siege tonight, my third brother will hold the brocade guard with the respect of the horse, and he will ensure the safety of the lonely cottage, and the Wang family will also have a good reward. On the other hand, if the officers and soldiers slaughter the village, I am afraid that they will be planted in the ......."
Liu waved his hand and said, "Lao Tzu knows what you have to say." β
He raised his eyebrows, and said: "Officers and soldiers kill people, and bandits go to rescue?" How can there be such a truth in the world? Even if they kill some bullshit tonight, and they want to plant it on Lao Tzu's head, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will change another mountain, anyway, Lao Tzu's original mountain is not on this coffin mountain. β
Looking at Liu's resolute expression, if he was an ordinary person, he might be a little discouraged.
Wang Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and she spoke again: "Change the mountain? Liu Da is afraid that he thinks simply, do you know why those people chose to do it tonight? β
"It's useless for you to talk about persuasion, Lao Tzu won't listen." Liu Yikou's face was displeased.
Wang Zhen said calmly: "Tomorrow, the Holy Lord will inspect the brocade guards; Four days later, my third brother got married. That's not what the big bosses say. Attached to the Captain of the Horse, he is on the throne. With the respect of the earl, if you want to sweep a few hills, it is not an easy task? In addition, Jinyi Wei Zhang Yongnian is a contemptible friend. And you know my second brother's ability...... Tonight, as long as one of my three brothers survives, this will not be good. β
"Are you threatening Lao Tzu?!" Liu got up suddenly, with murderous intent on his face.
"Sort of." Wang Zhen smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Master Liu. Speaking of which, Zhang Yongnian has been patrolling the camp for many years, and many bandits in the suburbs of Beijing have been suppressed. If it weren't for some silver money from my Wang family to be enshrined here, the lonely cottage might not have today's scenery.

"Lao Tzu is a bandit, not a righteous man." Liu said coldly, "Lao Tzu is just a fallen grass, what kind of saints, earls, and brocade guards in your mouth, Lao Tzu can't control it so wide!" If they had fewer people tonight, so many officers and soldiers would have been fucking well-trained, and Lao Tzu's entire stockade would not be enough for them to stuff their teeth. The people of your Wang family are people, and Lao Tzu's brothers are also people! β
Wang Zhen smiled confidently and said, "I said, the reinforcements from the Beijing camp are already on the way. I just hope that Liu Da can take people down to stop it. β
As he spoke, his face was calm, but he put his hands on his knees, secretly wiping the cold sweat from his hands......
Liu Yikou sneered: "You don't want to trick Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu was not coaxed by you." β
"There are rules for one line. To put it simply, if you have received the silver from my Wangjia Village for so many years, you will want to keep the party safe. Wang Zhen looked at the plaque in the hall and said in a deep voice: "Come to the Kuohe River and Coffin Mountain, between this piece of mountains and rivers, Wangjia Village and Gushanzhai have made friends for more than ten years...... I've never been a bandit, but I want to be a bandit and do business. Even if it is a business without capital, it is necessary to make friends. It doesn't matter if a single business loses, but if you break your promise, you are afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold. β
As if feeling that his words were a little heavy, Wang Zhen changed his serious tone and sighed: "After this pass tonight, the Wang family is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and they will never treat any friend badly when the time comes." Liu Da is a hero in the world, and he doesn't want his brothers to stay on this barren mountain for the rest of his life, right? Why don't you try to gamble? There are great dangers, and there are great opportunities. β
The words came into his ears, but Liu Yikou stared at Wang Zhen stubbornly, his eyes were full of killing intent.
"Wang is not talented, and he is the most incompetent of the brothers. My second brother and third brother have an unlimited future. Wang Zhen was not afraid, and met Liu Yikou's gaze, with a frank look in his eyes.
It was very cold on the mountain, he was only wearing a single coat, and there were many small bumps on his neck, but his back was straight.
Coming tonight, he wasn't completely sure. At this time, he also knew that his life and death were only between the thoughts of this bandit leader.
But the relatives are waiting to save themselves, even if they die, they have to do their best.
Coercion and retribution are not moral. However, the world is helpless to this point.
Liu was speechless for a long time, only the sound of a knife grinding leather sounded, and it seemed that a thief in the hall was drawing a knife......
"The second master is here." Suddenly, someone shouted.
Wang Zhen turned her head to look at it, slightly stunned.
"Xiao Chai He? How are you ...... here?"
