Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 9 The Legend of the Evil Tiger
Gao Shun said with a solemn face: "Yes, there are indeed tigers, and they are not ordinary tigers." At the beginning of the valley, there were 5 people who died in the tiger's mouth, until the dock wall was built more than half a year ago. And I have commanded that no one should go out of the valley alone, so that no one will be harmed. At night, all those who were outside were to withdraw to the fort except for the guards at the pass. ”
Nan Ying suddenly itched in his heart and said: "Master, I have killed a lot of people, but I have not killed a tiger, in modern times, let alone never see a wild tiger again, even if I see it, I will not let it be killed!" That's against the law! However, in this ancient period, there are no restrictions at all, so this time I want to try my skills! ”
Gao Shun saw that Nan Ying didn't care about it, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "I see that Brother Nan is brilliant and knowledgeable, but I want to take the liberty of testing you!" ”
Nan Ying smiled bitterly in his heart: "What is knowledgeable? I'm also a victim of cramming! ”
Suddenly it happened: "Gao Shun said this, is it because I just talked about my performance when I talked about Wubao?" This knowledge is nothing more than the content of military common sense classes! Well, I call myself a businessman, but I can't be too good at military affairs! ”
was thinking about himself, only to hear Gao Shun say slowly: "I just mentioned the tiger trouble, but I saw that Brother Nan was not shocked, I guess he must have killed a tiger, or he is familiar with the living habits of tigers, I don't know if it?" ”
Nan Ying scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I have never killed a tiger, because in my hometown, tigers are almost extinct." But I know a little bit about its habits. ”
After a while, he thought: "To put it simply, the tiger is a fierce carnivore, and it is also a master of hunting prey, good at stealing, killing with one hit, and likes to act alone. Under normal circumstances, tigers do not attack people, but only hunt large and medium-sized animals on all fours, and only actively hurt people when their territory is violated and they are extremely hungry. ”
Gao Shun stroked his palm again: "Well said!" The analysis of the South Brothers is extremely incisive! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help sighing: "That's why I said that these tigers are not ordinary tigers!" ”
Nanying was really a little surprised: "These tigers? How is it a pack of tigers? ”
Gao Shun nodded heavily: "Not bad!" According to my observation, there are at least 30 tigers in this group, and the leader is a giant black tiger! ”
Nanying couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this: "30? And a black tiger? I haven't heard of black tigers in biology class! After speaking, he immediately stopped his mouth, and saw that Gao Shun seemed to be used to his own nonsense, so he let go of his heart.
Gao Shun showed a solemn look and said: "I only learned from the account of the captured bandits later that this group of bandits originally had nearly a thousand people, and the momentum was quite large, and the nearby officials and soldiers did not dare to come to encircle and suppress them. However, just two months before I arrived here, a group of fierce tigers suddenly and mysteriously appeared at the northern foot of this mountain, and the bandits living in the southern foot did not know how powerful they were at first, and even wanted to eat tiger meat, and organized hundreds of people to hunt them, and the result was ......"
Nanying said nervously: "What is the result?"
Gao Shun sighed: "Three days later, only half of the five hundred people came back, and many of them were already frightened when they came back, and they were going crazy!" I heard that the black tiger led by him bit dozens of people to death! Hence the name of Black Tiger Mountain! ”
Nan Ying was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he ask, "What happened then?" ”
Gao Shun smiled bitterly: "What else? After that, the tiger group repeatedly launched retaliatory sneak attacks, within a month, there were nearly 100 bandits full of tiger kisses, scared most of the thieves did not even dare to bring gold and silver property, groups of light clothes to escape, otherwise how can I easily capture this village? ”
When Nan Ying heard this, the hunting mind that had just killed the tiger for pleasure had already flown out of the clouds, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Senior brother, it seems that your feng shui treasure land is also in danger!" ”
Gao Shun said proudly: "That's not necessarily, after I heard the captive talk in detail, I was also hesitant in my heart, although I didn't want to take risks, but I was not willing to give up." After surveying the terrain, I found that the place where the tigers live is actually far away, and at the same time, the terrain here is dangerous, and it is almost all surrounded by cliffs, and it is not easy for the tigers to climb down the mountain, and the only thing to worry about is the canyon in and out, so I mobilized all my hands to build that pass in the shortest possible time. Before, I said that 5 people were killed, and it was also the homeless people who did not listen to the order and went out of the valley without permission before the tiger took advantage of it. In fact, the tiger did not enter the valley and hurt a single person, but to be on the safe side, I ordered that everyone in the valley must enter the dock wall for the night. ”
Nanying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I said why did Brother Gao even go out of the mountain to transport salt in person, I'm afraid it is also for safety along the way!" ”
Gao Shun laughed and said, "Brother Nan is really clever! Just guess! I am the most cautious in my life, and every time I go out of the mountain, I will lead ten of my best warriors, carrying the only five strong crossbows in the valley, and I will make sure that nothing goes wrong! On several occasions back and forth, although there were also attacks by tigers, no one was injured. ”
He said hesitantly: "It's strange to say, the first few times we engaged the tigers, these tigers missed a blow, and immediately retreated, and then they didn't attack again, just followed us from a distance." ”
Nan Ying gasped: "This seems to have avoided the edge, waiting for the opportunity!" ”
Gao Shun worried: "There is another thing that is even more worrying, judging from the range of action and activity patterns of the tigers, in the past few months, they seem to be gradually approaching the valley mouth where we live, but they will never enter the range of the valley pass. Except for wolves, ordinary beasts rarely live in groups, and it is impossible for them to advance and retreat so well, this is simply, this is simply ......"
Nan Ying blurted out, "It's like an army!" ”
Gao Shun nodded heavily: "You and I think the same, so I don't dare to take it lightly." It is not easy to find a home in troubled times, and I will definitely get rid of the tiger plague so that my people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”
As he spoke, a long trumpet sounded, and a group of lightly armored warriors drove out of the gate of the dock wall and rushed to a clearing on the plain, quickly forming a phalanx.
Nanying was surprised and looked at Gao Shun, Gao Shun didn't wait to ask, so he smiled and said: "Brother Nan don't be surprised, although this place is far away from strife, but there are tigers inside, there are forces outside, there is no soldier, how can you defend your homeland!" ”
In the distance, the samurai have been divided into several teams to start the exercise, all of them are fierce and vigorous, Nan Ying looked at it for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head, he could see that most of these samurai were full of martial arts, excellent physical fitness, and the queue was strict and the orders were clear. But the training method is too simple, just repeatedly practice some basic fighting movements, and the mental state is not bad, but it lacks the indomitable killing spirit on the battlefield. Nanying has a deep understanding of this, it is a temperament that can only be cultivated after a long confrontation between life and death, and most of these warriors in front of him are afraid that they have no experience of killing people and seeing blood.
Gao Shun saw Nan Ying shaking his head, and asked curiously, "Why is Brother Nan also good at practicing martial arts?" ”
Nan Ying was about to nod, but suddenly his heart jumped, remembering that he was just playing a businessman, and he was just a good writer, and he was reasonable about martial arts, but how could he be proficient in arranging troops? Hurriedly covered up: "Where do I know this, it's just strange that there are so many soldiers in the valley with armor!" ”
Gao Shun looked down at the bottom of the mountain, and his eyes shot a look of remembrance: "My Gao family has been in the army for generations, standing by martial arts, and there are many people in the clan who practice martial arts. After settling here, in order to protect himself, he chose to rely on the young and strong people among the displaced people to teach martial arts, form a militia group, busy farming, and train soldiers in his spare time, and now there are more than 200 people. ”
Nan Ying couldn't help but move, he must need a large number of people to find the time machine by himself, and if he can establish a foothold here, Gao Shun and his subordinates will become a strong pillar.
At the same time, he has received the grace of Gao Shun to save his life, this favor is to be repaid anyway, and the tiger trouble in front of him is the right time, one can repay the favor, and the other can take advantage of this meritorious service to integrate into this paradise.
I made up my mind in my heart, and casually praised: "Brother Gao, these subordinates are called the People's League, but I see that they are skilled in martial arts, strong and strong, they are really a strong force, as long as they sharpen more, they will definitely be a world-famous iron army in the future." ”
Gao Shun was silent for a while before he said: "A group of contemptible men in the mountains and fields, but if they want to guard their ears, how dare they be an iron army!" There was a bit of wistfulness in his tone.
Nan Ying became more and more excited the more he spoke: "Brother Gao Taiqian, you just said that today's court is tyrannical, and the people are in dire straits, in my opinion, within two years, the world will be in chaos, with the talent of Brother Gao's hero, and there is an elite army in hand, why worry about not having the opportunity to protect the territory and the people, and make contributions?" ”
A hint of eagerness flashed in Gao Shun's eyes, and he said dejectedly: "At present, the tiger problem has not been eliminated, and the safety of the residents in the valley is not guaranteed, where can I think about the future!" ”
Nan Ying observed the words and looks, knowing that Gao Shun had ambitions in his heart, and took the opportunity to say: "The little brother is in such a difficult situation now, fortunately he was rescued by the senior brother, although he has no ability, but he is willing to help the senior brother." ”
A strange look flashed on Gao Shun's face, and he nodded: "I was about to use the power of Brother Nan, but I have to wait for you to heal from your injuries first!" ”
Nan Ying was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to speak, when a crisp voice came from behind him: "The power of a nerd, it's okay not to borrow it, but it's good to ask him to be a teacher here!" ”
Nan Ying couldn't help but have a big head, turned his head and smiled bitterly: "Hello, eldest lady!" ”
Gao Shun reproached: "Qing'er, you are rude again!" The Nan brothers are not only extraordinary, but also knowledgeable and insightful! You are constantly cynical, is it the way of hospitality? ”
Gao Gao'er looked Nan Ying up and down with a pair of smart eyes: "Big brother looks down on you very much, let me ask you, do you know martial arts?" Can you shoot arrows? ”
Nanying asked her for a moment, and said: "In the rough fighting skills, you can't talk about martial arts, this archery, but it can't!" ”
Gao Gao'er suddenly became proud, and his chin raised: "It's really a good ability!" We don't have a 'talent' like you in the valley! Pick any one and you're skilled! I see that you should recuperate in peace! ”
Nanying was very angry: "The eldest lady looks down on people too much!" ”
"I look down on you? It's you who don't have the ability to do it yourself! ”
"Who said that Xiaosheng is incompetent? I'm not a weak scholar who can't help a chicken! ”
"Then show me your hand! Just bragging and not doing it, it is clear that you are a master with a low eye! ”
"I'm not a street performer, I just shoot casually, I'm a real person who doesn't show up, I only shoot when it's time to shoot!"
"Good! Tomorrow, my eldest brother and I will take someone to explore the tiger's den outside the valley! Do you dare to go? ”
"Aha! That's great, of course I'm going, and I'm not far from the eldest lady! ”
"Don't expect me to protect you nerd!"
"Where, I just think, if the eldest lady is frightened by the tiger, she will come back safely on her back!"
"You're ......!"
Seeing the two arguing, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel dizzy, quietly took a few steps back, and left quickly.
