Chapter 58: Tong Qi vs. Golden Turtle Mountain
Tong Zhibai was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Xian, how do you say this?" β
"Brother is here, although there are no mountains and rivers, but since the drought the year before last, although Lord Zheng has been exempted from agricultural taxes, there are many other poll taxes and industrial and commercial taxes, and the lives of the people of Li are still miserable, and many people can't survive so they have started to rob their homes. The younger brother has a brother named Cheng Zhigang, who fell into the grass in Jingui Mountain in Duoye County. β
After speaking, Peng Xianwu took a pen and paper, repaired a book, handed it to Tong Zhibai, and said: "Brother is here, if you are blocked by Jingui Mountain, take out the letter, and you will save a lot of trouble." β
Tong Zhibai smiled slightly, took the letter and put it in his arms, and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" β
That night, everyone drank and talked freely, and the time was about to disperse.
The next day, Tong Zhibai hurried away, bid farewell to Peng Xianwu, and hurriedly set off to Duoye County. Out of the capital boundary, the population is gradually decreasing, the hills are undulating, the forests are dense, and the roads are more rugged.
Although the cart was carrying cloth and was not very heavy, it creaked and was extremely slow on the mountain road. At noon, when they arrived at Taiping Town, everyone found an inn to stop and play sharp, and handed over the horses to the men to feed. A courier was left to guard the wagon.
When the shopkeeper saw so many people, he was really a big customer who had rarely met for many years, so he was busy and tried his best to agree. After a while, the wine and food were served, and everyone worked hard all the way, and they were already hungry, so they ate their own food as soon as they greeted them.
A black-faced man who was eating wine in the store was very surprised when he saw so many people coming, and secretly eavesdropped on everyone's conversation. When I heard that I was going to Jiangzhou to deliver goods, I couldn't help but be even more strange, how big should this be a caravan, and I wanted so many people to escort it?
The black-faced man hurriedly settled the meal money, used the excuse of going to the toilet, and secretly came to the stables to look.
Boy! Twenty or thirty horses filled the stables in a huge backyard. In a corner of the backyard, there are also six large cars parked.
It's just six big cars, and you need so many people?
What is it that is so expensive? The black-faced man was full of doubts, and saw that the guard's executioner was leaning against the wall and napping, so he dodged and hid behind a car, and when he opened the tarpaulin and looked inside, it was all some cloth.
No way! It's a bit too exciting to transport so many people to transport this bit of cloth, right?
Remove the cloth and look at it again, the exquisite Shu brocade is neatly arranged, from top to bottom, accounting for more than half of a carload of goods.
The black-faced man remained silent for the moment, covered the tarpaulin, and unconsciously walked out of the backyard of the inn and walked away.
After a while, everyone came to the backyard after eating and drinking, Tong Qi took out the packaged beef and shochu, handed them to the executioner who watched the carriage, and said, "Brother Li Sheng, I will eat some first, and the little brother will give you a few more glasses in the evening!" β
Although it is comfortable to nest in the city before the dart, it is good to be able to make a living every day, and when you come out to walk the dart, you have meat to eat and wine to drink, where will it be? Li Sheng immediately smiled and said, "I want it, I want it!" β
"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?" Tong Zhibai asked.
"No, no! At noon, I didn't see a single bird! Li Sheng replied while chewing beef.
Everyone inquired about the distance from the shop Xiaoeryi and learned that less than 20 miles ahead, it was the county seat of Duoye, and if they stayed in Duoye, they wasted nearly half a day's trip. If you rush to Panlong Town to stay, the time is just right, but you need to pass through Jingui Mountain.
The shopkeeper said: "I'm afraid that when I get to Jingui Mountain, the sun will be late, and there will be strongmen there, and the guest officer needs to be more careful." It's better to rest in advance when you go to Duoye, and then cross Golden Turtle Mountain tomorrow. β
"It's okay, thank you for your kindness!" Hearing that he was going to cross the Golden Turtle Mountain, Tong Zhibai naturally stopped worrying in his heart, and immediately beckoned everyone to go on the road.
Although the road to Puci is not as good as the road in Zizhong, but the group is strong and strong, and when the application is just handed over, everyone comes to Jingui Mountain.
But although this mountain is not very high, the forest is dense, the mountain is undulating, and it stretches endlessly from a distance. Although there is no danger to defend, it seems that it can hide 100,000 male soldiers.
The mountain roads are getting narrower and narrower, and at the narrowest point, only one large car can pass through. Turning the foot of the mountain, although the road is open, there is another mountain beam in front of you, and only one road spirals up and crosses the mountain beam.
Everyone couldn't help but be frightened when they saw this situation, if there were thieves ambushing here, it would be really a dilemma, everyone would either fight to the death or be captured. Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, and listened carefully to the surrounding movements. only
On the mountain road, the clatter of horses' hooves against gravel and the babbling of the axles of the rotation echoed through the valley for a long time.
The mountains and forests next to it were exceptionally quiet, and there wasn't even a single bird.
A forest without birds must have hidden mysteries. Everyone has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and naturally realizes that the situation is not right, there must be an ambush here!
Cang Chang Chang ......
Suddenly, a loud gong sounded. Everyone was shocked, only Tong Zhibai was smiling and very calm.
I saw a yellow-faced man and a black-faced man on the opposite side, riding a tall horse and leading seventy or eighty minions, rushing out of the bushes and blocking the road.
The yellow-faced man shouted loudly: "The caravan on the opposite side, leave the goods and get out, and this king will leave you a dog's life." β
The black-faced man held the spear in his hand and looked at everyone coldly.
Where did everyone dare to hesitate, they pulled out their spears and machetes from under the car, ready to fight.
Tong Zhibai took a closer look, except for the two leading people, the weapons on the opposite side were still like a point, and the rest of them had sticks, flat poles, and hunting forks in their hands, and they were indeed a group of bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests.
Could these thieves be Cheng Zhigang's people? That's a question to be asked.
Tong Zhi Baice took a gun, crossed the crowd, and shouted: "Whoever is on the other side, report your name!" β
The yellow-faced man replied loudly: "Grandpa I will not change his name and sit or change his surname, the people in the rivers and lakes call the yellow-faced Tai Sui Li Jie yes, and the one next to him, the people in the rivers and lakes call Daniel Zhang, the black wind fox, what's wrong?" Are you scared? β
In the Duoye area, as long as the names of the yellow-faced Tai Sui and the black wind fox are reported, it is basically fine.
The caravan all dropped its cargo and ran away.
However, the one opposite, sitting upright on his horse with a spear in hand, did not move. Li Jie and Daniel Zhang couldn't help but be angry, it seems that they don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they are about to fight Tong Zhibai with a gun.
Tong Zhibai smiled slightly and said, "May I ask if the two of you are the heroes of Golden Turtle Mountain?" β
"Don't pat yourself on the back, we're robbers!" I have to say that Li Jie's own positioning is very accurate.
"Then may I ask your leader, is it called Cheng Zhigang?"
"Hahaha, this trick is too old-fashioned!" Black Wind Fox Daniel Zhang couldn't help laughing, and continued: "The name of our eldest brother SelΓΌ Bu Cheng Zhigang, who doesn't know within a hundred miles?" It's almost not like you! If you want to see my eldest brother, you must first ask me if I agree to the spear in my hand! β
Tong Zhibai thought about it, wouldn't such a set almost make people look down on themselves, not show their skills, and pass by here in the future, either filial piety to silver, or look at people's faces, then they won't be suffocated to death?
Immediately shouted: "Are you two going up together, or are you coming one by one?" β
Li Jie rushed out of the battle with a gun and took Tong Zhibai directly.
Here Tong Qi raised his gun to meet the battle, and said: "Slaughter chickens with a knife, big brother, you are watching the battle from the sidelines!" β
Tong Zhibai said: "The seventh brother has a good grasp of proportion, and he must not hurt his life!" β
Everyone didn't know about the conversation between Peng Xianwu and Tong Zhibai, and they were very surprised when they heard this.
Tong Laoqi's bodyguards have been running around all day, he has never fought with anyone since he walked the darts, and his hands have long been itchy and unbearable, and he knows it at the moment, and he stabbed Li Jie in front of the door with a gun.
Li Jie blocked the gun horizontally, only to feel that this person's strength was amazing, and under the struggle to block, the tip of the opponent's gun was still able to pass through his shoulder, if this was a little lower, wouldn't it be a stinging heart?
Immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and was just about to shoot back, only to feel the golden wind ringing in his ears. It turned out that after Tong Qi waited for the tip of the gun to pass over his shoulder, he did not stab forward, but shook his left hand, swung the tip of the gun, and came straight to Li Jie's door sideways.
Because of the extremely close distance, Li Jie didn't have time to dodge at all, so he had to bend down and lie on the back of the horse. And Tong Qi stepped off the war horse and was rushing forward, Li Jie fell down, as if he had sent his back to Tong Qi's hands.
Black Wind Fox Daniel Zhang saw that the situation was not good, and was about to wave his gun to help, Tong Qi held the gun in his left hand, did not look at it, and stabbed out a shot in the oblique stab, straight to Daniel Zhang's throat.
This shot was fast and accurate, Daniel Zhang was about to block the frame, who knew that this was a false move, stunned, Tong Qi had lifted Li Jie's belt with his right hand, returned to the formation, and threw Li Jie at Tong Zhibai's feet.
Tong Zhibai shouted: "Tied up!" β
When Daniel Zhang saw Li Jie captured, he couldn't help but let out a strange scream, and rode forward to take Tong Qi directly. scolded in his mouth: "Return my brother, otherwise Lao Tzu will break your body into pieces today!" β
As soon as the remaining four brothers of the Tong family saw Daniel Zhang's method of shooting, they knew that another person had come to give people heads, and they did not come forward to help, but only watched the battle from the sidelines.
This Daniel Zhang is witty and changeable, small and skillful, fighting before the battle is not his strong point, but Li Jie is captured, how can he sit idly by?
When Tong Qi arrived, he stabbed the gun when he was distracted, Tong Qi dodged sideways, but the tip of the gun passed under his armpit. Tong Qi clamped his left arm and clamped Daniel Zhang's spear under his ribs.
Let him drag left and right, but he can't shake a bit. Daniel Zhang was about to abandon the gun and flee, but he heard a broken drink: "Where to go!" β
Immediately, Daniel Zhang, like Li Jie, became a prisoner.
At the beginning, the two of them were yellow-faced Tai Sui and black wind foxes, and the cowhide coaxed to blow into the sky, but who knew that neither of them could walk under the youngest gun of the people.
This face is too embarrassing!
The two of them were ashamed, they just looked down at the ground, and secretly regretted in their hearts, knowing that this was the case, it was better to hug them at the beginning, although they might not be able to win, but they would not lose so badly.
Seeing that the two leaders were captured, the minions on the opposite side didn't know what to do, after all, it was a group of rabble, how could they know whether to attack or defend in formation? The main generals are not opponents, how can this battle be fought?
The minions were about to disperse in a hurry, but they heard a break from the other side: "If you don't go back to report the news, do you have to wait here for death?" β
yes, how confused! The minions turned around and left, and some even thought that they were burdensome with weapons, so they threw aside their wooden sticks and steel forks, and ran away.
After a while, I saw a man riding a white horse, wearing a helmet and armor, holding a halberd, and carrying more than a hundred minions, galloping down the mountain.
Look at this posture, it is quite a bit of Lu Bu's style back then.
The man swung out in the middle of the road with his minions, and then shouted, "Who is so rampant that he dares to take down my brother, do you know what kind of place this is?" β
Tong Zhibai was about to answer, but he heard Tong Qi scold: "Good dogs don't get in the way, I don't care where you are!" β
"Yo, my tone is quite impulsive, I'm going to learn and learn today!"
