Ma Yuan is reluctant to show the ugliness of giving in easily, and he can still maintain his sanity and insist on patience. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lai Yong'er has a taciturn temperament, maintains a cold image, is used to being alone, and often dives, adapts to the underwater closed darkness, and has a stronger endurance to endure loneliness.

However, Helian Jinming, who grew up freely in the vast grassland and was accustomed to a crowded and lively life, couldn't resist, beckoned people to let him out, but no one responded, as the darkness and terror became more and more serious, he immediately panicked and became angry, groped to the door, hammered and yelled 'let me out', and then beat the door in a gaffe and scolded Zhao Yue in his native language against the darkness and death.......

finally looked forward to dawn, the three pythons were exhausted, and they couldn't eat the delicious breakfast, and they didn't have the heart to take a look, and they were ruthlessly taken away if they didn't eat. The three of them were very sleepy but did not dare to sleep, for fear that the dungeon would collapse, and even more afraid that they would not be able to sleep at night and stare at the boundless horror. After staying up all night, the three of them softened, and hurriedly shouted at the people who delivered breakfast.

OK. They were finally released on this day.

As for the other three pythons who tasted the dungeon first, Wang Bochao, who seemed to be the most courageous and not afraid of death, was the first to soften, and as soon as he entered the dungeon again, he panicked and made an answer choice, but he was still locked up. The brave Huang Fuxiong followed suit and became the second person. There is nothing to be ashamed of being soft to Cangzhao. The scheming Zhou Xing gritted his teeth and insisted, and finally became a chicken.

When the six pythons reunited in the sun, they all felt that they had returned to the world from hell, and they were all colorless.

The conceited iron man Helian Jinming and Wang Bochao were tearful, and they seemed to have been greatly wronged.

Among the two who can resist the most, Zhou Xing's face is as pale as paper, his eyes are blank, and like Ma Yuan, his legs seem to be unable to support his body.......

The six pythons were held to walk, and when they saw the vicious uncle and nephew of Zou Yuan and Zou Run, and heard the cold voice asking Zhao Yue again for the answer to that question, the six of them all hurriedly chose to be brothers.

To hell with the pirate king or something, let it go.

The six pythons didn't want to see the hell, and they refused to be unyielding anymore when they were killed, so they were escorted back to the dungeon for so-called quiet consideration. Rather than sit in a dungeon, they would rather have Liso beheaded.

This experience made the six pythons deeply realize the preciousness of life, righteousness, and the preciousness of brothers uniting to care for and support each other for a lifetime.

In this life, six brothers can marry Jin Lan, this is fate, and it is also a god-given luck. Just to have brothers who have a good temper to drink and live happily together, and when they die, there are brothers who are sad and tearful, funerals and nostalgia, and I don't want those who kill righteous brothers when they have to do it, grab the army and seize power, and become kings, and live a noble but lonely life.

Besides, he is essentially a martial artist, and he may not be the material that governs the country when he is the king, even if he really does, he will try his best to govern the country all day long, things are complicated, and he is annoyed every day, and that kind of day may not really be so beautiful. It is difficult to deal with literati who are only full of knowledge and statecraft, but are also full of power and cunning. No matter how hard the old man fights and kills, how can he compare to those who study and ponder all day long.

In the past, when I was an officer, a farmer, and a warrior of the grassland, I had enough of the hardships of those literati, and I had already tasted enough. Or is it just a simple martial artist who leads the troops to fight, and he comes easily, and he is more comfortable and happy.

Most importantly, there is nothing more terrible than dying silently and alone in some no-man's corner of the world.

In the future, even if you don't run away on the battlefield, you will never leave your brother behind. Death is also to die together, to be ghosts in company. This was the speechless common voice of the six pythons at that time.

This kind of torture forced out of the epiphany of life made the six pythons especially cherish the cronies who are willing to follow him to death, and he also thinks more about his cronies in case of trouble. Now, in Zhaozhuang, there seems to be hope of escaping, but for the sake of his own life and the lives of the loyal brothers he followed, Ma Yuan did not dare to gamble easily.

In addition, the six pythons have always had unresolved doubts in their hearts.

Now that the pirates are here, the area around Dengzhou is busy transferring millions of anti-thief soldiers and civilians. Then why did Cangzhao's little sea boat dare to escort people across the sea and come to Cangzhou safely and smoothly?

The six pythons sailed north on the sea, and for the first time saw the terrible depths of the sea and the terrible Yellow River turbidity dragon that lost its temper.

No matter how roaring the Yellow River is, it is also a river, you can see the edge, and there is hope to go ashore.

At least Ma Yuan and Lai Yong'er are confident that they can swim to the shore with their superb water skills and strong physical strength to swim to the shore and survive if they capsize in the angry churning Yellow River.

But the vast sea, not to mention the terrible kind of torn heaven and earth upside down when angry, only the boundless and boundless forest blue calm sea water that does not know how to see the land and hope of life in the south, south, south, and northwest, once the boat capsizes and falls into the sea, it can make people collapse.

People are not fish, no matter how high their ability in the water is, they can't even count as bean sprouts at the mouth of the sea.

For the first time, the six pythons realized how naïve and ridiculous their ambitious plans to expedition to the sea were, and how hasty the decision to lead the people overseas to claim the king was at that time.

On the sea route, they didn't see if the people they had brought to the East China Sea were being picked up, and they didn't see the pirate ship that they imagined was covering the sea.

Didn't see a single one.

They didn't know that the Cangzhao family's ship had telecommunications to communicate at any time, and they didn't know that when their hearts were not really attached, Xiao Liu Tong, who escorted them north, would not let them notice the relationship between Cangzhao and the pirates, and had already contacted the naval commander Li Jun in advance, sailed on the sea, flexibly adjusted the route, and stayed away from the coast of Dengzhou, so naturally they could not see the immigration scene, nor could they meet the pirate ship. But the six pythons suspected that Cangzhao was in collusion with the pirates.

This thought surprised the six pythons, and they startled themselves. It feels ridiculous, impossible.

But, why didn't the pirates go to the mining city to rescue themselves?

Could it be that Steward Liu said that pirates should not be ambitious?

If Cangzhao and the pirates are in collusion or even in a gang at all, then his ambition is a big joke and a complete miscalculation. The good thing is that it fell into the hands of Cangzhao, which may be a kind of luck, just like Steward Liu said confidently, following Cangzhao is definitely the right choice and the right path.

It's just that no one has answered this doubt. I can only ponder in my heart.

When they went to the city, the group looked at the lush grasslands outside the city and the wide East River flowing quietly, and found that Cangzhao breeding cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. were not as many as legends and imagined. What is strange is that there are many different kinds of dogs here, the big ones are the size of a calf, fierce and powerful, and it is easy to knock down a strong man, and some of them look and feel like white-haired wolves. These terrible dogs are faithful to help herd or play with carefree children.

Could it be that the magical Cangzhao relied on these dogs that the Song people had not seen elsewhere to do early warning patrols and initial defense?

Look at the city wall at the foot is only about two zhang high (Song Zhang 2.4 meters), although it is a peculiar shape of the fortress, the city wall is covered with many large and small protrusions for placing cattle and sheep or looking at the house of the people, the protrusion is a plane, there is a completely closed fortress that is not big or high without knowing what to lock, but the overall feeling is not obvious defensive advantages or differences from the common Great Song Dynasty.

Look at the city again.

At first glance, there are rows of three-story brick buildings, higher than the city walls, arranged irregularly, looking like a mysterious palace, but it is also a somewhat special residential castle.

The people on the Zhuangzi don't feel too much, although they all seem to be very energetic, but how can such a residential castle resist the onslaught of the Liao army?

The more I felt that Zhao Zhuang was not as strong as he imagined, and the defense was strong, which did not match Zhao Zhuang's indestructible legendary record of winning hundreds of battles, but the six pythons did not dare to underestimate this place in confusion.

Because the facts speak louder than anything else.

The fact that Cangzhao resisted Liao and wiped out all those who dared to invade was not a year or two ago, and no one could deny the power of Zhaozhuang Castle.

If you want to escape, you don't need to break into the city gate, the two-zhang high city wall, as long as you use clothes to form a rope, it doesn't need to be long, plus the height of the person, from the city to the bottom, the person grabs the end of the rope, and the ground outside the city is not much high, you can easily jump off and escape.

But Ma Yuan and Zhou Xing, the two backbones of the strategy, are just in the eyes.

Zhaozhuang is sandwiched between the two rivers on the highlands, and is located in the area where the terrain of Cangzhou protrudes to the sea, which is prosperous, but it is actually in a remote place, far away from the prosperous and prosperous place of Cangzhou. For the people of Zhaozhuang, it is indeed easy to distinguish between insiders and outsiders, and even friends and enemies.

Over here

Outside the east city is a cement flat land seven or eight hundred meters away, there is no mud in the rain and snow, and the soil will not be washed away by the rain layer by layer, which is also the drying ground for the harvest season; To the east is a large slope of pasture grass that is thousands of meters long, and the East River, which is not deep but several miles wide, has a drop of several tens of meters; Further east is the long slope of the riverbank, and then a piece of high ground slightly lower than that of Zhaozhuang, above which are vast fields, in which some small villages are faintly visible; Further east is the wild primeval forests infested with wild beasts to the East Sea.

Outside the west city is also a piece of concrete flat land, but it is only three or four hundred meters wide, and then there is a large river ditch with a small flow but wide and deep.

The width of the ditch in this area is more than ten meters at the narrowest point, and the lowest depth is five or six meters, and the ditch gang is also reinforced by a thick embankment built with stones and cement to prevent the embankment from breaking down step by step when the flood is going to eventually erode to Zhaozhuang. This causes the cement ditch to be hard, smooth and steep, not to mention people falling into it, even monkeys are afraid that they can't get up.

In the south of the city, the terrain sandwiched between the two rivers is long and narrow, the terrain is gradually reduced, the west river ditch is also gradually becoming submerged, but the amount of water is also getting bigger and bigger, the bridge is still a natural obstacle that people and horses can not pass, running to the south is the extremely deep reservoir at the foot of the mountain, and it is the sea that climbs over the mountain ridge that is not high or big.

In the north of the city, the six pythons that just came are also familiar with it, and they came from the north.

It was a field that gradually widened from Zhaozhuang to the north as the two rivers moved away. Near Zhaozhuang is not grass nor long sand, gravel hills, hard land is pasture, and then north is not high but vast mountains and primeval forests, I don't know how many wild beasts live in the meantime, when walking the forest road, listen to the roar of wild beasts to seep people. To the north is the sea.

Zhaozhuang Wharf is on the seaside here, which is a bay blocked by highlands in the north and south, but the natural sheltered harbor is not big. The marina castle is also very small.

When the six pythons came, they only saw a relatively large sea ship docked alone in the bay. There weren't many guards in the castle either. It seems that the Cangzhao Sea Ship does not maintain some scale as the legend and imagination suggest. The maritime forces also seem to be very small and negligible. The once powerful Cangzhao Haihang has been constantly attacked by the imperial court and pirates, and it has declined. It seems that it is indeed too taken for granted to forcibly borrow the Cangzhao sea ship to go to sea and claim the king, even if Cangzhao bows his head and submits, there is no boat. The six pythons were in a good mood at that time, and they were not ashamed and depressed.

At present, what the six pythons realize is that in terms of the geographical location and situation of Zhaozhuang, in the peaceful and prosperous era, it definitely belongs to the happy and quiet land of beautiful scenery and away from the disturbance of outsiders and the government, but in the troubled times or wars, if it becomes an eye-catching target, then it is a Jedi, and it definitely belongs to the trapped and dead place in feng shui.

The northeast, south, and south sides of this place are actually seas, and there are no boats, which is a dead end; There may not be a way out of the boat available.

The sea is so unpredictable that the devil knows when it will turn around. Storms and waves await to devour people, and when you escape from the sea in a critical situation, you just happen to encounter it?

Only the west is connected to the land of Cangzhou, which is the way out, but once Zhaozhuang is in danger, the enemy must be killed from the west, and fleeing west is just to meet the enemy.

After the six pythons visited and inquired, they generally understood the geography of Zhaozhuang, and the idea of escaping was even weaker.

Where can you run away?

The sea on three sides is the dead end, to the west?

It can only take a few stone arch bridges on the West River.

But even if you can escape the people of Zhao Zhuang at a glance, it is easy to detect the escape in time, what if you enter the hinterland of Cangzhou?

The Great Song Dynasty has long said that Cangzhou is the Cangzhou of Cangzhao, not the local government.

The people here are all Wei Cang, Zhao Ma, and the first to look forward.

Whenever the government issued a new decree, whether it was a policy of the central court or a decision made by the local bureaucrats on a whim or whim, the locals would first ask the officials who came down to urge it: "What do we Hou Ye mean by this?" ”

The capable masters of the Hou Ye and the Cangzhao family naturally would not easily express their attitude towards the decrees of the imperial court or the government. The important people in charge of the Cangzhao family will not casually express any opinions on the government's actions, and they will not easily express their comments on whether the policy orders are good or bad, right or wrong. The people of Cangzhou never expected the Cangzhao family to clearly indicate the matter, they only looked at and listened to the attitudes or statements of the workers or tenant farmers who worked for Cangzhao, and this was the basis. If the children of the Cangzhao family who are ignorant and pee and play with mud shake their heads and say that it is not good, it is also the basis for Cangzhao's attitude. The locals will rightly resist the government's unacceptable behavior of the people.

If the local government wants to implement any new decrees, without the clear nod and support of the Cangzhao people, even if it may be beneficial to the people, it will be difficult to implement them smoothly.

The locals only believe in the wisdom of Cangzhao, and the officials who are not from the Cangzhao department of the government are stupid and unwilling to trust.

In particular, the people in Yanshan, where Cangzhao is located, and the neighboring Qingchi and other counties are full of response to Cangzhao. Whoever Cangzhao wants to catch, I'm afraid he doesn't have to take action in person, the people and warriors everywhere are all active catchers. The six pythons are the criminals that the imperial court focuses on arresting, and the current Cangzhou government and Cangzhao do not deal with each other, but the arrest will not be relaxed.

The key is that Cangzhou has no decent mountains except for Yanshan, and there is no place to hide. This is not a place for wandering gangsters to hide, let alone a place where a group of felons can hide and escape. Escaped from Zhaozhuang, but how to escape Cangzhou?

This is a real Jedi Death.
