Chapter 7: Hornet's Nest
Yagu, as the name suggests, is a valley.
It is not far from Wuji County, but the environment is very beautiful.
Inside the two low hills is a relatively spacious valley floor, and the hills on the left have been artificially built, with a staircase that goes up one layer at a time.
There is a small river on the hill, the small river connects to a low mountain in Wuji County, and on the edge of the hill near the small river, there is also a scenic pavilion.
On the opposite side of the hill is dense with trees.
The two hills, connected together, form a unique scenery of Wuji County.
Gu Chen slowly entered the valley with everyone, and unexpectedly found that the aura here was actually higher than outside.
They tied their horses to the side and began to pack up their things, first spreading a piece of silk cloth in the valley floor, and putting some dried fruits and cooked food on it.
Then they gather firewood, fetch water, and boil food, and each has his own duties.
Gu Chen was no exception and was arranged to pick up firewood.
When he came back from collecting firewood, he sat down on the side, and no one paid attention to him, but he was not too embarrassed.
Gu Chenle was relaxed, sitting on the side, listening to them brag and chat, but his eyes were looking at the terrain at the bottom of the valley.
Ren Xingdao glanced at Gu Chen, who was sitting on the side with a faint expression, and asked Zhen Mi, "Miss Zhen, you said this person is here to protect you?" ”
This Zhen Mi hesitated and nodded.
"Can he really fight?" Liu Tan looked amused, "I think I can beat him two by one." ”
He was huge, and when he said this, everyone didn't think it was wrong.
Xin Xianying said: "Why pretend to be puzzled, he is also a suitor, and he seems to be valued by Uncle Zhen." ”
"Miss Zhen, you have so many suitors, can your uncle value this kid?"
Zhen Mi said angrily: "Don't say it, how do I know what's going on, maybe I value him to fight." ”
Liu Tan got up instantly, "You wait, I'll go and learn the lesson, just his body, how good he can fight!" ”
"Sit down!"
Ren Xingdao said: "People are just looking for an excuse, why do you bother to debunk him?" ”
Everyone laughed, and Ren Xingdao said with a smile: "Miss, it's not that I'm talkative, with your family background and identity, there are more people chasing you, and there is no need to wronged yourself for someone who can fight." ”
"yes, what if a person can fight again? Isn't Xiang Yu very good? In the end, it was not killed by Liu Bang. Force is secondary, brains are first! ”
Wu Ziqi immediately echoed his man, looking proud.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a man carrying a wooden barrel and crawling towards her.
"Run, there's a bandit coming."
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and Ren Xingdao frowned and said, "How can there be thieves in this place?" ”
Liu Tan ran forward and asked, "How many people are there?" ”
"Seven or eight, with sticks and machetes in hand, let's hurry up."
The man said in a panic and tried to flee.
"It's only seven or eight, panic!"
Liu Tan cursed, and quickly walked to the horses with a few people and took out their respective weapons.
Now that the DPRK is corrupt and not strict with its subordinates, it is not difficult for all localities to support their own troops and possess weapons.
People like Ren Xingdao and Liu Tan almost always carry weapons with them.
One is for self-defense, and the other is for face, telling others that he is a warrior!
There were quite a few people this time, and there were four or five who had weapons.
Against seven or eight, it's not impossible to win.
Ren Xingdao only hesitated, and then let the unarmed man protect Zhen Mi and the others, and they stepped on the war horse and waited for the enemy.
Gu Chen didn't have any weapons, so he naturally stayed with Zhen Mi and the others.
It didn't take long for seven or eight robbers and bandits, armed with crude weapons, to run over.
Ren Xingdao immediately shouted: "Stop! ”
The group of bandits was really frightened by him, stunned, and the bandits led by him said loudly: "Boy, leave the money on your body if you know each other, otherwise you will blame us for being polite!" ”
"What the fuck are you, get out of here while I'm not angry!"
Liu Tan waved the weapon in his hand and scolded loudly.
He is strong and strong, and he looks quite intimidating, if he were an ordinary person, he might be bluffed, but this is a group of robbers.
After discussing in a low voice for a while, everyone immediately separated and began to slowly surround them.
Determining the number of opponents, Ren Xingdao made up his mind, pulled the reins, and took the lead in rushing forward.
"Kill!"
Liu Tan shouted, led the remaining three, and killed the others.
Five against eight, the advantage in numbers, does not seem to work at this moment.
Everyone on Ren Xingdao's side has practiced martial arts, and there are brave bandits on the bandits, and after a few strokes, this group of people is scattered.
"Hahaha, with this bit of force, I dare to be a bandit, I really don't know what to say."
Liu Tan laughed, just now he slashed three people and beat two people away, which can be described as extremely majestic.
"Xingdao, you're amazing. It was so powerful just now. ”
Wu Ziqi saw that it was safe, and was the first to rush up, hugging Ren Xingdao and boasting.
Ren Xingdao waved his hand, and said indifferently: "A group of little minions, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"A false alarm."
Sun Wu said: "It scared me just now, when did Yagu ever have such a thing?" ”
Ren Xingdao said lightly: "Now the world is chaotic, and there will be many such things in the future." ”
The danger dissipated, and in addition to continuing to prepare food, Ren Xingdao, who had previously commanded the operation, was surrounded by everyone, and became the brightest star.
Liu Tan nodded: "I have also heard, now there is chaos outside, there are uprisings everywhere, and our Han is in chaos." ”
"But this is also an opportunity, if it is an ordinary time, no matter how capable we are, we can only be petty officials, but in this troubled world, if we are lucky, maybe we can be a marquis and pay homage."
A group of people listened silently, nodding their heads from time to time.
There are even some girls with gold stars in their eyes, obviously impressed by Ren Xingdao's demeanor.
glanced at Gu Chen, who was sitting outside the crowd, looking around.
He added: "In troubled times, the most important thing is to enrich yourself and learn more, otherwise it will be difficult to become a talent with only martial arts and enthusiasm." ”
He meant something, how could everyone not see it, and they all looked at Gu Chen for a while, their eyes were full of disdain.
"That's right, some people rely on their martial arts skills, and they don't know how to fool Uncle Zhen, so they think they can't do it. A thug at best. ”
Wu Ziqi looked at Gu Chen with a sneering face, and almost didn't say his name directly.
Gu Chen frowned, and suddenly got up and walked in front of Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi was stunned and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"There may be danger here, we should go back."
As soon as he said this, he immediately stabbed the hornet's nest.
Wu Ziqi jumped up directly and shouted, "Boy, what do you mean?" ”
"Aren't you here to protect Miss Zhen? How did you hide from the women's pile just now? ”
Liu Tan said sarcastically and looked at him with disdain.
