At this time, it was already unitary time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was in the middle of the mountains and dense forests, the surroundings were dark and gloomy, and the road ahead was getting steeper and steeper, the fog was thick and slippery, and it was almost impossible to move forward on horseback.

"Stop, arrange for people to watch the horses, and the rest walk with blades and bows!" Chen Xu said after dismounting.

And while Bai Zhen arranged his subordinates, Chen Xu opened a pocket on the horseback, took out a holster from it and hung it obliquely on his body, took out a soil gun and carefully inspected it, then took out a bamboo pipe, opened it and carefully poured the gunpowder into the barrel, stabbed it with a stabbing strip, and then stabbed the suede wrapped with iron bullets into the barrel together, turned the barrel upside down and knocked it lightly a few times, and found that it was very tight, so he poured the remaining bit of gunpowder in the bamboo tube into the ignition chamber of the fire gun, and then closed the fire door. Then he inserted the fire gun into the holster and buckled it up.

"Chen Lang, what is this?" Although Shui Qingrou was extremely anxious, looking at Chen Xu's slow and cautious appearance, he also felt that this thing in Chen Xu's hand was very unusual.

"This is a gun, driven by gunpowder, it can shoot a distance of about ten zhang, if you really encounter mountain bandits later, you must be careful, don't rush up, there are big brother Bai and dozens of forbidden army brothers, all of them are brave and good warriors, and there are bows and crossbows, as long as Brother Wuya is on the mountain, I will definitely rescue him!" Chen Xu held the water and whispered softly.

And when the surrounding group of forbidden soldiers heard that Chen Xu actually called them brothers, they were all excited, and many of them patted their chests directly and said: "Hou Ye and the little lady can rest assured, as long as we can still breathe, we will definitely rescue people, mountain bandits, in front of our sharp bows and crossbows and swords, they will only die like earth dogs!" ”

"Thank you!" Shui gently saluted the forbidden troops around him, and suddenly scared a group of rough men, and hurriedly saluted Shui gently.

The beautiful woman in front of her is the wife of the Hou Ye who has not passed through the door, and after receiving this big gift, she must fight with her life later.

Chen Xu took out a few more times in the blanket, and took out a belt with four small holsters and tied it around his waist.

After buckling the belt, Chen Xu took out a cylindrical thing from a small leather case, a ten-centimeter-long wooden handle, and a lump of iron lumps at the front.

This is an earthen grenade, it was completely made by Chen Xu according to the style in the film and television, the middle of the wooden handle is hollow, there is a lead in it, the iron lump in front is very thin cast iron, which contains half a catty of black powder, and the gunpowder is also mixed with dozens of iron bullets, Chen Xu specially ran to the mountains hundreds of miles away from Xianyang to test it several times, it can explode, and the power is not small, the wooden plank and double leather armor can be penetrated within five meters.

This grenade was originally designed as a spontaneous fire device, but unfortunately the flint wheel rotation friction device designed by the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences was not effective, and after installing it, it was estimated that only one or two times could ignite the lead inside, and it was easy to break, so Chen Xu gave up and directly changed it to an open flame to ignite.

These four grenades, like the earth guns, were brought back by Chen Xu this time for self-defense, but I didn't expect that they might really be used today, so I brought them with me when I went up the mountain at this time, just in case.

Soon, all the forbidden troops were all cleaned up, bows, crossbows, and swords were all neatly draped, and their expressions were solemn.

"Ash stays, and the rest set off with Captain Pontus! Don't make noise! Bai Zhen gave a low command and then waved his hand, except for the ten forbidden soldiers who were left to take care of the horses and luggage, the remaining forty people all dispersed, holding their breath and concentrating to protect Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou and continue up the mountain along the rugged and steep path.

At this time, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the surrounding mountains and mountains have gradually turned into a black and dark color, only the sky is still slightly bright white, but the forest is very dim, and only a vague figure can be seen at a distance of seven or eight zhang from each other.

In the midst of Suosuo's climbing, a vigilant whisper suddenly came from ahead, "Be careful, there's movement ahead!" ”

So everyone quieted down, touched the front together, and saw through the woods that there was a steep mountain cliff dozens of zhang away, and there was a faint fire on the top of the cliff that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and faint figures could be seen in the firelight, some of them were carrying knives, guns and sticks in their hands, and they were not ordinary mountain people at first glance.

"Master Hou, it seems that there are indeed mountain bandits gathered here, you and the water girl are waiting here, and I will lead the sons and daughters up!" Bai Zhen whispered.

"Well, be careful, don't be reckless, the terrain here is steep and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is estimated that there are obstacles such as the village, first inquire about the situation and come back and tell me, I will use the Taiyi Divine Thunder to blow up these bastards!" Chen Xu gritted his teeth and nodded.

According to Chen Xu's guess, seventy or eighty percent of Yu Wuya was caught by this group of mountain bandits, and the person who could catch Yu Wuya could figure out from the soles of his feet that he was definitely not an ordinary master, and he was worried about whether Yu Wuya was still alive or not.

If Yu Wuya has three longs and two shorts, then this nest of mountain bandits will all be fried into meat foam and fed to the dogs even if they are reincarnated as immortals.

About twenty minutes later, Bai Zhen came back and whispered: "Sure enough, as the Hou Ye expected, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only a steep step that has been carved out, only allowing two people to go up side by side, and there is a wall gate with a height of nearly three zhang, with rough wood and stones, there seem to be a lot of mountain bandits inside, if it is dark and blurry today, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties if I attack it rashly!" ”

"No one is on guard?"

"Nope!"

"That's good, let's go, let's see!" Chen Xu pulled the water and gently followed Bai Zhen to touch it slowly, and after more than ten minutes, he saw a very steep and narrow step carved out by hand, and he could hear the sound of loud talking and laughing on it, and it was relatively noisy, and more than forty forbidden soldiers were holding bows and crossbows and leaning against the mountain wall below the steps.

"Captain, at this time, the mountain bandits are slack, it should be easy for us to attack it?" One of the chiefs whispered.

"Don't act rashly, this road is too narrow and steep, and the situation above is not clear, once it is discovered by the mountain bandits, there will be heavy casualties!" Chen Xu vetoed this suggestion, then looked up at the wooden and stone gate above, listened attentively for a while, and then pinched his chin and said, "Brother Bai, I want to go up and see the situation......

"No, Master Hou don't put yourself in danger!" A group of forbidden soldiers, including Bai Zhen, shook their heads vigorously.

"Don't worry, the Taiyi Divine Thunder is huge, as long as I see the enemy clearly, the mountain bandits will definitely panic and flee, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack will be successful!" Chen Xu explained.

"Chen Lang, I'll protect you up!" Shui gently pulled out the meteorite dagger in his hand.

Bai Zhen had no choice but to nod and agree.

If this ghost place is really going to be attacked, unless all the mountain bandits above are asleep, but the current situation is obviously not, because the noise above is extremely lively.

And the distance between the enemy and the enemy is almost close at hand, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it is, once the mountain bandits find someone below, even if they only throw a few stones down, they will kill a lot of people, not to mention that there is an extremely steep slope below, and below the slope is a cliff, which is completely a dead place that cannot be hidden.

The power of the Taiyi Divine Thunder has naturally been heard of by all the forbidden troops, and they have also seen the row of big pits outside Xianyang City that were blown up by Chen Xu with the Taiyi Divine Thunder.

Chen Xu took out a handcuff to break the hammer, and cautiously followed Bai Zhen to climb up, although she let the water stay gently below, but she still didn't feel at ease, and followed behind with a short sword, the three of them only took two steps together, but they could only see each other's buttocks, which showed that the road was steep to the point of almost vertical.

A few minutes later, Chen Xu touched the entrance of the village and saw the situation inside through the gaps in the thick logs.

This is a natural cave halfway up the mountain, there is a clearing about a few feet wide in front of the cave, there are many stones placed around, there are several hickory and persimmon trees growing at the entrance of the cave, there is a fire burning in the center of the clearing, a beast is roasting on top of the skin and flesh, the fat is fluttering and dripping down the fire and exudes a strong smell of barbecue, more than ten burly men are wearing various costumes around the fire, holding daggers and swords in their hands are cutting meat, the voice is very loud, and there is also fire light in the cave, There also seem to be quite a few people eating, drinking, and talking.

"Master Hou, the number of mountain bandits should be more than 100 people, and judging by the dress and situation, they should be all martial arts, and they seem to be the soldiers of the previous army!" Bai Zhen whispered.

"So these people are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?" Chen Xu asked in surprise.

"Yes, but the accent is complicated, there are Chudi people and Han Wei and other Central Plains people, and there seem to be Qi Di and even my Qin Di people who speak in the cave!" Bai Zhen nodded.

"No matter, inform the brothers below to get ready, and rush forward when you hear the sound of the explosion of divine thunder!"

"Huh" Bai Zhen turned around and shook his arm a few times, and the forbidden army below lined up in a row and slowly climbed up the stairs.

Chen Xu stretched out his hand and pulled out a grenade from his lower waist, pulled out a piece of tung oil-soaked wooden plug blocked at the end and pulled out a lead, and then took out a small wooden box on his body, took out a thin wooden stick from it and scratched the edge of the wooden box a few times, and a few sparks came out of the subtle sound of puff, but it was not ignited.

Chen Xu's cheeks twitched a few times and he took out a small wooden stick, and after a few strokes, the small wooden stick broke in the sparks.

No way!

Chen Xu's face was so black that he was about to drip ink, under Bai Zhen's bewildered and surprised gaze, Chen Xu directly took out three small wooden sticks this time and drew them, after a few puffs, with the flash of fire, the small wooden stick finally ignited a small flame, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lit the lead of the grenade.

"Hey, is there a fire outside?" A young man who was cutting meat by the fire stopped in surprise.

"You're dazzled! In this barren mountain and wilderness, there is not a single ghost outside the walled gate, how can there be a fire suddenly? A middle-aged man next to him angrily bit the piece of meat in his hand and said.

"Haha, the dog must have been dizzy from being seduced by Princess Wei!" The other man laughed.

"Tut, don't say it, Princess Wei is indeed a beauty, I had a dream last night after just one glance!" Another man said drooling, touching his crotch.

"I heard that Princess Wei is coquettish, and there are many men around her, so I can only dream."

"Not necessarily, if the restoration of the country is successful in the future, we are all great heroes, and it is not impossible to be lucky enough to mix into three princes and nine kings, and at that time women in the world are not casual, I heard that Princess Wei is very good men, maybe I will have a chance to ......"

"Hey, it's still the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, I heard that no, the Qin Wangzheng has reformed the court, and the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries have been abolished......"

"What? How can you govern the country without the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries? Many people paused in confusion to look at a man dressed as a scribe who had just spoken.

"A few days ago, I went to Wancheng with Duke Ran to inquire about the news, and I heard that the people in the foot house said that the Marquis of Qinghe restructured the court, abolished the three princes and nine kings, and placed the three provinces and six ministries ......"

"The three provinces and six departments are even ghosts ......"

"Snap"

Just as a group of people were eating and chatting around the fire, suddenly a shakuhachi-long wooden stick fell from the sky next to the fire, and rolled to the feet of one of the guys, and there seemed to be blue smoke coming out of the stick.
