After setting off from Yangquan City, Yangquan Mansion, everyone found that the roads under their feet were getting worse and worse, and there were more and more mountain roads and forest roads, and the ghost guards had to be more cautious.

At this time, there were white bones and newly dead corpses on the road one after another, some died of starvation, some died of illness and disease, and most of them were homeless. Zhang Xiaowu was afraid that the plague would infect the team, so he ordered the convoy to stay away from the corpses, and at each break, he emphasized that the soldiers searched up and down the water source within five miles, and if there were corpses poured in the water, the water source must not be drunk, and if there were no corpses, they must be boiled before drinking.

With such caution, no one in the team was infected.

After two more days, everyone finally came to Qingfeng Mountain, the junction of Hunzhou, Daizhou and Yongzhou, looking at the undulating Qingfeng Mountain Range, Zhang Xiaowu was worried.

There are two roads from Daizhou to Hunzhou, one is a mountain forest road that directly passes through Qingfeng Mountain, of course, you can also bypass Qingfeng Mountain, but you need to walk for half a month more to detour.

Zhang Xiaowu summoned Kang Tianen and asked him if he knew about the two roads, and Kang Tianen said that the Qingfeng Mountain Road was actually an official road, but it was built by the mountain and was easy to be ambushed. The road around the mountain is also unsafe, especially at the moment when the plague is rampant and there are more dead bodies on the roadside, which is easy to infect the soldiers.

"Report! Lord Chen came back and brought a group of people with him. Wang Yijin shouted.

"Stuffy Oil Bottle has found Qingfeng Village?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

It turned out that Chen Guanxi left the ghost guard in advance, and the purpose was to rush to Qingfeng Mountain to find Qingfeng Village and express his cooperation to him. What is not just the case is that Song Chong, the owner of Qingfeng Village, led his men and horses to leave Qingfeng Village because Liu Hou gathered soldiers and horses, and came to Yangquan Mansion first, so the two sides missed the opportunity to meet.

Fortunately, Song Chong's people marched quickly, unlike Zhang Xiaowu and others who protected their caravans, and the road was slow, and Song Chong had just returned to the village when he met Chen Guanxi, who was a guest in the village. After Chen Guanxi found Qingfeng Village, he was treated by Qingfeng Village, and after Song Chong returned, Chen Guanxi immediately expressed the ghost general's admiration and cooperation for him.

Song Chong thought to himself that he was just a mountain king who did not enter the stream, but he upheld the will to uphold justice for the heavens, and his reputation in the hearts of the people was several times better than that of the government. Subsequently, Song Chong and Chen Guanxi went down the mountain to greet Zhang Xiaowu and others, and just after leaving Qingfeng Mountain, they met the ghost guard and his party.

Chen Guanxi immediately introduced Song Chong, Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward, and arched his hand: "I have long admired the name of the lord of Song Village, and the righteousness is thin and cloudy, and it is even more famous to see it today." ”

Song Chong was moved when he saw that a dignified three-rank military general on the other side actually dismounted to greet him, and ran forward in three or two steps and said with a smile: "General Zhang has an overreputation, a certain family is just a hard-working person, gathered a group of brothers who also worked hard, fled into the mountains and forests and fell into the grass to become a hero, and he really can't be called a hero." If General Zhang does not give up, please go into Qingfeng Village to rest for a while, and the brothers will rest. There are many cottages in Qingfeng Mountain in the 800 mountains and forests, let me report them one by one, how about letting everyone protect General Zhang through Qingfeng Mountain? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "If this is the case, it is just a trouble for the master of Song Zhai, and I don't want to go in my heart, I don't want to go." ”

"General Zhang, you are a hero, protecting the Central Plains civilization, we can do something for you, it is a blessing for Sansheng." Song Chong said excitedly, "The general must not refuse, please take a little rest for now." ”

"So there is the owner of the Laosong village."

"The general is polite, please."

"Please."

Qingfeng Mountain is not a mountain, but the most famous mountain in the mountain range, there is a thousand-year-old Taoist temple Qingfeng Temple, Qingfeng Temple does not ask about the world, does not ask about fighting, concentrates on cultivation, and ignores the mortal world. Qingfeng Village is not in Qingfeng Mountain, but in a valley, this valley is located in the mountain, surrounded by mountain peaks as city walls, there is a stream flowing in the middle, it is really a quiet and elegant place of birds and flowers.

If it weren't for the fact that the people of Qingfeng Village lived here, Zhang Xiaowu would have felt that this place was the source of peach blossoms.

Birds, flowers, and a drunken breeze.

No wonder this place is called Seifusan.

After Zhang Xiaowu and others came here, Song Chong introduced that this place was originally called Qingfeng Valley, and after Qingfeng Village was located here, it was renamed Qingfeng Village.

At that time, it was the Taoists of Qingfeng Temple who discovered Qingfeng Valley, and those Taoists saw that the imperial court was harsh and fierce, and the people were forced to be cornered by various taxes, so they had to flee into the mountains to avoid the officials, so they could not bear to settle the victims in this valley. As a result, the fleeing people living in Qingfeng Valley gathered more and more, and the earliest villages were formed, and the people spontaneously formed Qingfeng Village later.

Song Chong, the current owner of Qingfeng Village, is the third owner of Qingfeng Village, and the first owner of the village was killed when he fought against the government because he resisted the encirclement and suppression of the government; The second owner of the village was originally a hero of the rivers and lakes, leading everyone to rebel against the imperial court, but he was betrayed because he believed in the traitor, and was captured alive by the government and executed by Ling Chi; Song Chong was originally a dart master, but because he was robbed of a dart, he had no choice but to fall into the grass and was reused by the second owner of the village. Later, the second owner of the village died tragically, and Song Chong took over his mantle and became the big boss of Qingfeng Village.

"I should have been jealous of the government, but I have deep faith in the general." Song Chong said.

"Why?"

Song Chong said: "In addition to General Zhang's battle against Inuyi, protecting the Central Plains civilization, recruiting martial arts warriors in the Central Plains, and finally beating Inuyi to lose his armor and flee back to the north, it is also because of General Zhang's background." ”

"Where did I come from? You're saying I'm a grass farmer. Zhang Xiaowu laughed twice, "That Liu Hou is also from a commoner, but you don't trust him." ”

Song Chong shook his head and smiled: "Because I was born in the dart industry, and the general was also born in the dart industry, you and I are of the same origin." ”

When Zhang Xiaowu heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Yes, we are peers, but my grandfather is a dart master, and I am not qualified to be a dart master, only a dart player in the dart industry." ”

"I was just a runner before, hahahaha......"

Zhang Xiaowu was surprised: "The master of Song Zhai turned out to be an executioner? Admire, admire! ”

Song Chong laughed, and said in his heart that he had really met an acquaintance.

The dart game often has one or several dart teams, the boss behind the scenes is called the owner, the general manager is called the big treasurer, the head of all the dart teams is called the head of the dart, and the head of the dart team is called the head of the dart. A dart team consists of a dart head, several dart masters and a dozen dart players, the so-called dart players are the apprentices of the dart master or the employees of the dart board, but the ability is not as good as the dart master. This is because the dart master can negotiate with the head of the dart or be in charge of the part of the dart, while the dart player can only follow orders. Darts are also divided into various jobs, there are executioners who explore the way ahead, there are drivers who drive cars, and there are flag bearers who carry flags. There are also high and low dart players, and the highest status of dart players is the executioner, because they must know how to cut in the green forest, and when they open the way ahead, they must first make the cut when they encounter a robbery.

The dart game darts, need three skills, one is the backer, the second is the network, the third is kung fu, the executioner is the first person of the whole team, naturally to be exquisite, if a reckless man does the executioner, it may even cause conflicts, to the dart team to bring unpredictable losses.

After the two entered the cottage, Zhang Xiaowu observed the interior of the cottage with great interest, the front of the cottage is the martial arts training ground, the back is the farmhouse, and finally the farmland. The farmland area of Qingfeng Village is only about 100 acres, and there are four or five thousand people who come out to greet them, and these dry fields are simply not enough to feed so many people, so although the village is famous, it is very poor.

Zhang Xiaowu watched a group of children naked and staring at them curiously with big round eyes, compared to the ghost guards armed to the teeth, Qingfeng Village was extremely poor.

Kang Tianen whispered beside Zhang Xiaowu: "The people in the village are far more than that. ”

"What about the others? Not curious to come out and watch? Wang Yijin asked.

Kang Tianen said embarrassedly: "Many people only have one piece of clothing, so ...... The husband and wife went out with a change of clothes, and the other person should be at home. ”

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised, didn't it mean that the king of the mountain drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl, how could he be so poor that he only had one piece of clothing left?

Kang Tianen explained: "Qingfeng Village is a bandit city after all, and the government embargoes it and does not allow the people to trade with merchants and them, so they only lack everything, even food. ”

Zhang Xiaowu listened to it in his ears, and sighed slightly in his heart, this is the real cottage, this is the real bandit's nest, not the world of flowers and flowers in people's imagination. Not to mention this cottage, Zhang Xiaowu had traveled to Weihai in his previous life, and vigorously developed the Weihai property market and established many sea-view houses. Unfortunately, there are only sea view houses around the sea view house, there are no shops, no hospitals, no schools, no markets, and even no bus stops, and only privately contracted cars lead to the sea view area.

Without trade, all the people who lived in the sea-view houses had to starve to death, so that the Weihai sea-view houses became the biggest scam in the country, and tens of thousands of people who came here to invest cried and shouted for a sale, but they never sold it. Without trade, even the best house is a grave.

Qingfeng Village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, but unfortunately as a bandit nest, it has been sanctioned by both military and economic sanctions, although it has a very good reputation, but only its reputation remains.

Coming to the Juyi Hall, Zhang Xiaowu led everyone to sit down, and at this time he saw the eighteen heroes of Qingfeng Village, all of whom were capable and dark, far from being as arbitrary as they imagined. It seems that the surface of cottage life is beautiful, but in fact it is extremely difficult, just like the red zone in northern Shaanxi, everything has to save itself. But the bandits don't have the wisdom of the leaders of the red zone in northern Shaanxi, so their lives are becoming more and more embarrassing.

After the two sides sat down, there was nothing to say for a while, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly thought that he had planted it for Qingfeng Village, so he first smiled slightly, and then said: "The master of Song Zhai also knows the meaning of our visit this time, in fact, he came to apologize, Liu Hou's death has nothing to do with Qingfeng Village, but he was wronged to you, I'm really sorry." ”

Song Chong saw that Zhang Xiaowu's heart was open, and he immediately warmed up, and hurriedly said: "General Zhang is so honest, ashamed of me, ashamed of me." ”

"Why?" Zhang Xiaowu said.

Song Chong told everyone that he led people to kill Liu Hou's seventeen members, Zhang Xiaowu and the others laughed, and Ruan Qingwen said: "This is called not fighting and not knowing." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "In short, this matter was caused by us, and we should apologize, so we have nothing else to spare, but there is some fine salt." One catty, two truckloads of refined salt and heroes, as our apology sincerity. ”

Song Chong and others hurriedly excused themselves, Zhang Xiaowu said that there was no need to excuse themselves, this was our mind, Song Chong and others naturally lacked refined salt, and this car of refined salt solved the urgent need. Seeing Zhang Xiaowu so generous, Song Chong suddenly thought that he had a gift, so he whispered in his henchman's ear for a while, and then his henchman ran to the treasure house and brought a shovel.

Song Chong said with a smile: "This iron mace is used by a fugitive general, he fell ill after escaping to Qingfeng Mountain, and died in Qingfeng Village." He did not reveal his life, but said that this iron mace is called Zijin Gong, which was cast by Ouyang Zi, the world's foundry master, in his life, and he planned to dedicate it to King Ning, but he did not expect that King Ning rebelled and was killed by the whole family, and countless people were implicated. This person fought his way out of the encirclement, hid in Tibet, and finally ended up in Qingfeng Mountain. The so-called sword with hero, this purple gold mace I and others no one can use, I saw the general's bones surprised, so I gave it to the general as a gift. ”

Zhang Xiaowu took the purple gold mace with one hand, almost fell to the ground, and was immediately surprised, how could this purple gold mace be so heavy, and even its weight exceeded that of ordinary Pu Dao. He couldn't help but sigh and exclaimed: "Zijin Gong is really not ordinary, this ......" He took out his waist knife and slammed it hard with Zijin Gong, only to hear a sound properly, the waist knife was disconnected, and everyone was suddenly shocked.

Zhang Xiaowu carried the purple gold hammer in his right hand and smashed it the stones on the ground, and heard a ding, and the stones in the ground were smashed off, revealing cracks.

"A good blade, a good weapon." Zhang Xiaowu praised it, and everyone congratulated him.

Then Zhang Xiaowu asked why the people of Qingfeng Village did not use this sharp weapon, Song Chong smiled bitterly and said that no one in Qingfeng Village had such a big weapon to hold the purple gold mace in one hand, because the purple gold mace was four feet long (one meter two) and weighed fifty catties, and those who were not born with divine power could not use it. After all, this purple gold mace is an armor-piercing artifact, and it is best used on the battlefield, if you use it in a weekday fight, before you can get close to the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy's dexterous dodge.

Song Chong smiled bitterly and said, Qingfeng Village is an eighteen heroes, and no one can wield this purple gold gong.

The iron mace is divided into a double iron mace and a single iron mace, a double iron mace is three feet, a single iron mace is four feet, and the purple gold mace is a standard single iron mace, which can be held with one hand or both hands, and the armor-piercing blade is irresistible when wielded. The hammer is more flexible than the hammer and has a longer blade, so many people like to use it as a weapon. The best iron mace used in the ghost guard army is Bai Hao, who has defected to the indigo, that is, Alai Akutuoye, but Bai Hao uses an eight-petal golden gourd hammer, and even if he uses an iron mace, he also uses a double iron mace.

Zhang Xiaowu danced twice, the tiger and the tiger were angry, attracting a cheer from everyone, Zhang Xiaowu also liked this iron shovel, so he said: "The good intentions of the Lord of Song Zhai have been received under it." ”
