Laolongshan is located in the mountains and wilderness near Danfeng County, because between Chu and Qinchuan, an official road was opened hundreds of years ago to facilitate travel, but after the previous dynasty built a canal in Daqi, this road that is not easy to walk is naturally abandoned, only a very small number of people who are not familiar with the road or have not found a boat will walk from here, which can be described as inaccessible.

In late autumn, smoke rose from the simple village on the top of Laolongshan Mountain, and several men wearing the robes of the staff who had just been snatched from the caravan a few days ago stood in the courtyard of the stockade, discussing future plans.

All the people in the stockade are the same, their relatives or brothers were injured by the iron eagle and deer hunting, and they either died or are still in exile as military uniforms, and they are also wanted by the imperial court.

can be tracked down by the imperial court when the iron eagle is hunting deer, and the family must also have a small status in the rivers and lakes, after all, the wolf guard has no time to deal with the ruffians.

These people were originally quite wealthy, but suddenly they degenerated into wild people in the mountains and forests, how can they be convinced, and they have been planning to 'get back what they once lost'.

At this time, the boss of the small village was talking about the news he had just gotten in front of a group of brothers:

"I heard that the people who beat the Eagle Tower arrived in Yueyang, and they are recruiting the old master of the Cao family on Junshan Island, I know the apprentice of Chen Han, the owner of the Yueyang Boat Gang, and I will go to Yueyang in a few days to explore the door, if I can enter the Eagle Tower, I will be stable in the future......"

The three or five men around listened carefully, and Wang Ying, who was dressed in the clothes of a noble lady, shook her head and said:

"I used to go to the rivers and lakes, and I heard that the Cao family had a relationship with the wolf guard, and when the iron eagle was hunting deer, he helped to abuse it. The Eagle Tower may not be there to recruit people. ”

The boss of the village waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if he is recruiting manpower or not, let's not go to the Cao family, as long as the person who fights the Eagle Tower is in Yueyang." On the rivers and lakes, only the people who fight the Eagle Tower dare to kill the wolf guard, the wolf guard still can't take them, now the power is getting bigger and bigger, sooner or later the banner of righteousness will be raised for the way of heaven, dozens of people up and down our village, there are also some skills, as long as they are on the line, not to mention the marquis in the future, it is no problem to have a stable life, no matter how bad it is, it is better than hiding here. ”

Everyone nodded, after all, this life of hiding in Tibet is indeed not for people.

"So it's decided?"

"You have to ask for silver to open the door, the boat gang is not a good church, and when you enter the Eagle Tower, you have to pay homage to the seniors in the building. The small caravan that was robbed last time didn't have much oil and water, and the boarding gang couldn't carry two catties of pork to the door......"

While everyone was discussing, the little minion who was in charge of keeping a sentry on the outside of Lao Longshan suddenly ran over quickly, as if he had picked up silver, and was very excited:

"Boss, someone is passing by at the bottom of the mountain, and he looks very expensive, do you want to stop it?"

Wang Ying and the others were stunned, but they didn't expect to be worried about the silver, so someone took the initiative to send it to the door, and immediately got up and ran to the cliff on the side of Laolong Mountain, and took a look - outside the narrow canyon below, two horses trotted over, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a white scholar's robe, looking at the fabric was not ordinary, holding a folding fan in his hand, walking along the way to see if there was no defense. The white horse behind is a little girl, the person is thinner and the horse is too big, and it is a little mismatched to sit on it.

"Boss, what kind of horse is that, why is it so big?"

The people in the stockade looked at it a few times, and there was a look of envy in their eyes. After all, horses are big things, and they can be seen even if they don't have knowledge.

The boss of the village looked at it for a moment and said seriously: "Isn't this a snow-treading horse outside the plug?" I heard that it is worth a thousand gold, but it is the first time I have seen it. ”

Wang Ying squinted and took a closer look: "I have seen the snow-treading horse ridden by the seniors on the rivers and lakes before, which is similar to the little girl in the back, and the one in front is not very similar, I am afraid it is worth a lot." ”

"It's more powerful than stepping on a snow horse, if we sell it, we probably won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives."

Many minions immediately became eager, and the copying guy was ready to do it. The boss is still a little hesitant:

"Riding such a good horse, I'm afraid that the background of the family is not ordinary, and it doesn't look like a Jianghu person, why didn't you bring an escort......"

"I'm afraid that a certain family who doesn't know the dangers of the rivers and lakes came out to hang out, and he didn't know the way to wander here. The family is timid and spares his life, let's intercept him and scare him a few words, snatch the horse and the money and leave, he doesn't dare to report to the official when he goes back......"

"Immediately it seems that a gun is hung, wrapped in a black cloth, will it be a practitioner......

"Rich families are all embroidered pillows, we are more than 20 people, what are we afraid ......of?"

"Let's go ......"

--------

At the foot of Laolong Mountain, Xu Buling and the little nightingale finally came to the place mentioned by the swordsman Zhang Deng after two days of long-distance running.

Xu Buling the folding fan swayed gently like a family looking at the scenery, while enjoying the scenery, pay attention to the movement on both sides of the canyon.

As the saying goes, 'no matter how high the martial arts are, I am afraid of kitchen knives', the most taboo thing about going to the rivers and lakes is to underestimate the enemy, no matter how powerful Xu Buling is, he is not a true immortal, and he still dies with a knife on his neck, and the canyon is a dangerous place, in case someone ambushes and throws arrows on it, but there will be big trouble, and it should be beware.

The nightingale had been on the road for a few days, and at this time she was still in good spirits, holding the reins and the whip, and muttering earnestly:

"The book says that the most dangerous people on the rivers and lakes are the elderly, children, women, and monks, I am a child and a woman, will it make those thieves jealous?"

Child? Woman?

Xu Buling looked back at the little nightingale, who had a few taels of meat, shook his head and chuckled:

"Say that the child is a little older, and say that the woman is a little smaller."

The nightingale may have listened too much in the middle of the night, and looked down at Xiaohe's sharp chest, a little unhappy:

"Childe, you are decent, we are now chivalrous."

Xu Buling was speechless for a while, frowning and making a serious appearance:

"Nightingale, you little girl, don't think about this mess in the future."

"The ancients said that 'those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black'......"

Smack-

The folding fan patted on the melon on the little head.

The nightingale honestly shut up, but he was still a little unconvinced by the son who said that he would do it.

The two of them walked through the canyon, and when they reached the middle, there was a line of sky above, and there was no way out on the left and right, and any two people could block the road.

At this time, a few coils of rope were thrown down from the recess of the mountain wall, and a dozen fierce men cut down from it with their knives, among which was a noble woman with a sword on her back and a completely inappropriate dress.

"Coming, coming......"

Nightingale's eyes were full of excitement, and she rolled up her sleeves to make a move.

Xu Buling hurriedly raised his hand gently: "Don't be impatient, don't be scared away." ”

"Oh......"

The nightingale hurriedly put her hand on her chest again, revealing the scared appearance of an innocent little girl, and her big eyes were watery and looked harmless to humans and animals......
