Section 289 Snake Horn Ridge
Goodbye.
Song Jiang and Kong Hou gave a big gift again, there was something in their hearts, they had a lot of emotion, and they couldn't help but shed tears when they spoke.
Xue Heng, Zhang Xuanzan, and Liu Fu have been mixed in the army, and they have been officers, and they have brains, and they also sincerely worship Chai Jin.
Yang Shi and Liu Wuji grew up in Tokyo, and they have been in the upper circles of Tokyo for a long time with Yanai and the proud Taoist, and they are also flexible and familiar with the scene, whether they really abide by the faith of the flower arm, at least on the surface, they are extremely exquisite, and they are indeed grateful to Chai Jin for his generosity and selflessness in taking them in and helping them. Although the world is big, there are almost no big officials like Chai Jin, and such a noble person is worthy of worship.
Wang Si, Pig Iron Buddha, Qiu Xiaoyi, Rabbit Li Ji and other men don't have that brain, and they don't have that mind, so they shouldn't do anything.
It's a half-fool dwarf hill Otoro, whoever is good to him, who can let him drink and eat meat to his heart's content, dress him well, and live warmly, he is grateful to whoever he is, and he is instinctively grateful to the great benefactor of Chai Jin from the bottom of his heart. Kneeling on the ground, he won't say anything nice, only his head bangs.
Hong Yanhong, the head of the sect, has been mixed in Chai Zhuang for the longest time and has the highest status, and it should be said that he has received the most kindness from Chai Jin, and he should be most grateful to Chai Jin. But he held a grudge because Chai Jin was becoming more and more cold and contemptuous of him, but he was thinking that Lao Tzu would no longer rely on you from now on, and he would take the Qingyun Road. You just wait for the day when you look up to Lao Tzu and become famous, and the high-ranking officials will have to sit in power and run the world, and I will despise you.
He only looked away with his side face, and casually arched his hand to Chai Jin, meaning something. didn't even bother to say a false polite word to Chai Jin.
Chai Jin watched the four mule carts run over the ice and snow in the cold wind, and the bones of the road quickly moved away.
The Golden Eagle, the head of the Eighteen Iron Guards, couldn't help but be indignant: "This group of white-eyed wolves is really hateful. Especially that Hong Sect Leader is really not a thing. ”
Another iron guard who accompanied and protected Chai Jin also cursed angrily for the pig iron Buddha, Qiu Xiaoyi, Hong Yanhong, Zhang Bao, Li Ji and other guys who were not grateful to Dade.
Chai Jin smiled and said indifferently: "Why bother with short-sighted and ignorant villains and people who go to death with arrogant ambitions? ”
Saying this, the second iron guard also smiled. He pouted disdainfully as he stared at the vanishing carriage.
Chai Jin returned to the village and took the twenty or so defectors who did not follow him who were greedy for comfort and afraid of death. In the name of rejoicing in his loyalty to be rewarded, he set up a banquet and hospitality, but he was drugged in the wine. They were all overturned, escorted away by Ding Jiulang, and loaded onto the ship at Cangzhao's own wharf, the most remote in the southeast of Cangzhou, and sent to the New World together with the new batch of immigrants and the materials and minerals unique to the Great Song Dynasty.
Like the previous batches, these defectors will be organized into the expedition and open the road death squad for training, and will work hard for the next step of the Southern Army's conquest of new soil.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. There is no place to raise an uncle for a long time.
Even if there were, these unscrupulous, young and strong ruffians who knew martial arts were not eligible to enjoy it.
They are afraid of death, although they have no ambition, they just want to get something for nothing and eat comfortably in Chaijiazhuang. I also have to fight for survival.
This is the need and the most fundamental law of human development and prosperity, and it is also the fundamental rule of fairness in the new world.
Let these vicious and vicious criminals use their blood and lives to do their best for the infinite happiness of the people of the new world.
Chai can't enter the new world to live happily, entrenched in Chai Jiazhuang with a special identity, with important tasks, and there are still many things to do.
He cleaned up these unscrupulous people, and it was also a necessary measure to cut off the secrets that he had helped Song Jiang and his party who wanted to rebel.
If they don't, these unscrupulous people will most likely report to the government for a reward or atonement for their freedom.
How can you not guard against it?
Other than that. He also sent a report to Liang Shan to inform Song Jiang of the situation, so that Zhao Yue could grasp Song Jiang's dynamics as soon as possible and then decide the next strategy.
Let's talk about Zhao Yue's side.
Fan Tianxi and Wan Qi Danian killed Wang Shizhong, and it was too late that day. The road is not clear at night in the ice and snow, and it is inconvenient to catch up with Zhao Yue. The two spent one night in the deserted temple near where Wan Qi Danian was hiding, and by the way, they deepened their understanding and trust with each other. Fan Tianxi also roughly figured out the fundamental temperament of Wan Qi Danian, and he had a number in his heart. The next day, he caught up with Zhao Yue with Wang Shizhong's chariots, sedan chairs, horses, weapons and other trophies. The group left the house. Avoid Wan Qian's hometown of killing officials in the south of Jinan Province and go to Zizhou. There is Zhao Yue here. Although there were many horses that were not ridden on the way, no one dared to make it difficult to stop them all the way, and on this day they arrived at the junction of the two states of Ziqing in the north.
It's a rolling mountain range. Although Zhao Yue has traveled south from Cangzhou many times, he is not familiar with this place.
He used to ride a horse by land from Cangzhou, through Dizhou, and through Jinan to the south.
When he led the bandit army to make trouble in Shandong, he didn't go here.
Walking through the official road and mountain roads, Zhao Yue glanced at the mountains and couldn't help but praise: "There are dangerous places in the mountains in this area, and it is also a good place for robbers." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a burst of shouting and killing in the distance. Listening to the voice, there are quite a few people, and it may be that officials and thieves are fighting.
Zhao Yue took Fan and Zhang's two families to be small, and they were weak and weak, worried that they would encounter a large number of thieves to intercept the road, and they were also afraid of being affected by the battle, although they concluded that the location of the war zone was on the west side of the mountain, and they were surprised and wanted to go and see, but they hurriedly urged everyone to hurry through this mountainous area.
Fortunately, it's not far from the exit of the mountain road. The carriage quickened its way, and soon came to an open, flat road.
Fan Tianxi saw Zhao Yue's thoughts.
He is a native of Jinan Prefecture, his family was rich, he had traveled many times to study and visit friends, and he had a general understanding of the geography of the adjacent Zizhou, and judged that this area should be the famous Evil Ridge Snake Horn Ridge that the mountain extends from the northeast to the southwest. This ridge is complex, the jungle is dense, there are many wild beasts on the mountain, I have heard that there are large beasts infested and hurt people, and tigers have also appeared, and now it seems that it should be selected by the bandits as a place to settle down and rob.
"Second son, I see a flat river in front of me, and then the people in the distance are gradually dense, and the situation is peaceful and tranquil, there should be no big danger. I led the team on a rapid journey. Childe might as well go and see what's going on over there, and then return quickly, it should be fine. ”
Zhao Yue glanced into the distance and looked at it, nodded and said, "That's fine." But since it is a place infested by bandits, it is necessary to be more careful. ”
Fan Tianxi nodded.
Zhao Yue wants to see the excitement. Wan Qi was even more anxious, and he also rode his horse to follow.
The fast horse returned to the mountainous area, and went around the official road to the west of the mountain range for five or seven miles along the mountain range, and Zhao Yue slowed down the horse, and soon Huo Ran saw that in the southwest of the mountain range, a relatively wide and flat place, there were indeed thousands of people fighting fiercely here.
Zhao Yue's eyes are sharp, and he sees the battlefield clearly, and he is indeed staging a drama of officers and soldiers encircling and suppressing bandits.
He hid the war horse and placed it, and climbed to a hidden place on the mountain suitable for secretly watching the battle with Wan Qi Danian, who was obviously starting to get excited, and glanced at the whole scene, and suddenly noticed that there was also a group of voyeurs hiding on the other side of the battlefield.
What interested him was that there was a black Humpty Dumpty man surrounded by people in that group, it was Song Jiang who he hadn't seen for too long. (To be continued.) )
