On the mountainside, which is as steep as an axe, a dirt road winds its way up the straight cliff like a lazy snake.

Under the warm light of the setting sun, strange rocks, cliffs, and pine trees all vibrated with their spirits, holding their heads high, like ancient soldiers, silently watching the three strangers leading the horses.

At the head was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with black millet skin, big eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth, a tall and long body, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the muscles on his arms held the sleeves tightly, looking full of strength.

He held a knife in his left hand and led the horse with his right hand, wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes with his arm, looked up at the towering peaks, turned his head and said, "Master, you two hurry up, otherwise the sun will set." ”

Three feet behind are two bald monks with fluttering sleeves, who are lazy monks and iron arhats. Hearing Jia Yin's urging, he said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." ”

Jia Yin saw that at the intersection of the two mountains of Yin and Yang in front of him, there was a rainbow waterfall flowing straight down, and the sound was like thunder. Then he said, "I'll go to the front to rest and drink water." ”

This time I went to Biandan Mountain to inquire about the news, it was blatantly under the banner of persuading Zhao'an, and it was because there was no need to hide and hide, and it was estimated that before I went up the mountain, Guan Laoliu's sentinel got the news, so I just boldly went forward.

Of course, it is still necessary to keep your distance, consciously or unconsciously, in case of emergency.

It was only half a mile to continue walking, and the pool of water was close in front of him, but the plan to sit down and drink water fell through, and four or five big men suddenly emerged from behind the mountain stone forest.

"Who?"

"The third brigade of the Huya Battalion in front of the palace, the brigade commander Xuanjie Captain Jiayin, was ordered to worship the mountain."

"It turned out to be Captain A, and the next two are ......," a leader-like man stepped forward and asked.

Jia Yin saw his dark skin, his face was full of deep wrinkles like a knife, gray hair, a mouth full of yellow teeth, and his hands holding the handle of the knife were full of pimples and calluses. ”

The man introduced himself as Fu Dachun, and came to pick up the distinguished guest Yunyun on the order of the owner of the village.

The lazy monk was even more chic, and directly threw the reins to the man's hand, lazily propped up a lazy waist, and then went up the mountain with the crowd.

After the waterfall pool, the defense was tight along the way, Jia Yin saw several sentinel points, and several large rocks with stones of different sizes piled up, obviously also used for defense, and the gentle slope was densely covered with thatched vegetation, and it is estimated that there were also many traps and bows.

Jia Yin thought to himself, the terrain here is dangerous, the defense is strict, and it is much stronger than Yingjiazhai.

But the cottage, but it is much simpler, behind the defensive wall of the rocks, is a five-layer flat flat, like a terraced rice field bent and layered, I think it is the mountain because of the local conditions.

On the left and right sides are a straw house next to each other, but the walls are made of wooden thatch and mud, which does not protect against wind and rain. In the middle is a big house, built of thick logs, but also tall, the word "Juyi" is hung above the door, but it is horizontal and vertical, chiseled by knives and axes, tough and domineering.

A sturdy man led the crowd to greet him at the gate of the village, and Fu Dachun introduced that this was Guan Lao Liu, the big boss.

Jia Yin saw that he was only forty years old, not tall, short and strong, with a circle of stiff whiskers on his face, plus leopard eyes and tiger eyebrows, just like the Three Kingdoms fierce Zhang Fei.

Guan Lao Liuren looked rude, spoke straightforwardly and generously, greeted each other, and said that the village was small, there were no good things, only one of them was not like it, and they were simmering in the old wine jar, waiting for the distinguished guests to come to the banquet, but they didn't know that the two masters were vegetarians.

The lazy monk smiled: "We are not vegetarians, and we are not happy without meat." ”

Guan Lao Liu laughed and waved his hand, "Please." ”

The three of them were escorted to the Juyi Hall, where there was nothing but a long log table, which could seat thirty people. The dishes and chopsticks were set on the table, but the food was not served, so everyone gave in and sat down. There were guys who brought vegetables to the table, only five or six wooden basins larger than washbasins, but they were nothing more than wild vegetables from the mountains and dried salted fish and shrimp.

Two more men came in carrying a jar of wine, dusty, and the heat could be felt from afar.

The wine jar was put down on the table, Guan Lao Liu took it personally, knocked lightly with the back of the knife, the mud at the mouth of the altar fell apart, a strong fragrance came to the nose, and carefully wiped the mouth of the altar with a rag, then the lotus leaves were removed, and began to be filled in the big basin, but it was a large piece of flesh and bone that was red and oily.

"It's just this one meat dish, it's really slow."

Then he served wine, and it was a small jar, less than ten catties. But it was only poured for three people, and he and the five escorts were only half a bowl to accompany him.

Jia Yin looked at the two masters, but saw that the two masters didn't speak, so he had to pretend to be polite and polite, and began to drink wine and eat meat, but the entrance of the wine was bland, Jia Yin frowned slightly, and ate meat with chopsticks, but it was crispy and abnormal, very delicious, and couldn't help but praise: "Good." ”

Guan Lao Liu smiled and said: "This is my ancestral secret recipe, no matter what kind of meat, as long as you pour it into this wine jar and simmer it for a day, the gods will go down to earth." If you like it, eat more, and hunt again tomorrow after eating. ”

Jiayin is happy when he has meat, it doesn't matter if he drinks or not, he eats a meal very happily.

After the meal, the table was removed and the tea was replaced, and the business began.

"Let's talk about the conditions and benefits of the acquisition."

As soon as he talked about business, Guan Lao Liu began to be solemn, and a majesty naturally emanated.

Jia Yin was a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously glanced at the master, but he didn't receive any prompts, so he had to say dryly: "One condition, two benefits." ”

Jia Yin paused, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, "The condition is that half of your existing money and food are handed over." ”

"Bah", but someone immediately slapped the table, "Why don't you grab it?" ”

Jia Yin scratched his head and said, "I just passed the word, and the commander and the Marquis of Yu decided like this." ”

Guan Lao Liu's eyes slanted, stopped the brothers' hair, and said with a smile: "We know the conditions, what are the benefits?" ”

"First, you can enter Bianliang with the army, bleached your identity and change to a stable life, and at the same time, the army will give you a brigade establishment, and the brigade commander will be the master of the village. The second is to avenge your blood and kill Qiao Sanhuai. ”

Guan Laodao smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

His subordinates didn't have the patience anymore, and slapped the table and said: "When we are idiots, if we want to live a peaceful life, where can we go, do we want to go to Bianliang?" ”

"I don't know, but Qin Yuhou said that this is your best choice, the only safe choice if you want to really go ashore from the rivers and lakes."

Guan Lao Liu smiled again and said, "Captain A, can you know how much grain and grass I have in my warehouse, and how much gold and silver I have?" ”

Jia Yin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said he didn't know, and then glanced at the two masters uncertainly. 、

The lazy monk said: "Don't look at us, the teacher just followed you to relax." ”

This time, Guan Lao Liu was stunned.
