Chapter 3: The East Gate (6 B)

Taking the opportunity of Wang Ermao and the minions to talk nonsense, Cheng Mingzhen quietly observed the details of the bandits. The bandit team that came to attack Guantao was very large, and the tattered tents were spread out one after another, stretching for more than ten miles. What is surprising is that on the periphery of such a huge camp, it is rare to see the necessary defensive weapons in the army, such as deer and horse; Occasionally, a few sections of wooden fence sprang up near the camp, so thin as an old lady's front teeth that the cavalry could rush in without dismounting.

In the shadow between the tents, the bandits squatted together in groups east and west to enjoy the shade. Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao were surrounded by a group of minions and approached the main gate of the camp, the bandits were stunned, and then turned their heads sideways, each busy with the matter at hand. One of them was carrying a stone and pounding a "collected" iron pot, apparently ready to be broken into pieces so that it could be taken away in a package. Others sharpened their knives, rubbing their fingers against the blade from time to time to test whether the blade was sharp enough. Near the whetstone, a sheep not much bigger than a rabbit was tethered, bleating at the weeds on the ground while "bleating"; More people are looking for ways to have fun, making chess pieces out of stones and broken bones, and drawing squares on the ground to bet on winning or losing. Occasionally, someone loses but refuses to admit it, and the winner chases the loser for a stone. The people around them take the initiative to make a way so that both the beater and the beaten can play to their due level, temporarily relieving everyone's boredom.

"If I bring someone to set fire at night...... Cheng Mingzhen frowned. The enemy army was in such confusion that a well-prepared night attack was enough to solve the danger of the pavilion. It's a pity that no one in the city was willing to support his battle plan in the morning, and now, he has come to the enemy camp, and no one in the city is willing to take the initiative to take risks.

"What's the matter, you don't like the atmosphere we have here?" A middle-aged bandit walking beside the two teenagers was very sensitive, and when he saw Cheng Mingzhen frowning, he immediately lowered his face and asked.

"No, I didn't expect you to have so many soldiers! I knew that there were so many people coming, and I didn't dare to fight anything in the city last night. Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly smiled and responded in a flattering tone.

"It's good to know that you're scared. After a while, I met Zhang Dawang, be honest, don't put your stinky shelf as a scholar! What's so great about reading for a few days, if Lao Tzu's family had money, he would have gone to Beijing to see the emperor early! The middle-aged bandit's impression of Wang Ermao was much better than Cheng Mingzhen's, and he glanced at him with pricked up his eyes and continued to scold.

"That's, that's. How dare Cheng put on a shelf. Cheng just hasn't seen any big scenes, and he is a little stunned! "Lowering his head once is also low, lowering his head twice is also low, Cheng Mingzhen didn't dare to fight back, and he was obedient to all grievances.

After a few words, he found a place for his people, and the middle-aged bandit was secretly proud in his heart. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to play a few more words, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and several war horses quickly rushed out of the camp.

Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao were sandwiched in the middle of the team by the minions, and there was no way to hide. Seeing that the horse's hooves with the big mouth of the bowl were about to step on the door of the head, "Phew! The rider who led the team shouted loudly and forced the war horse to stand up.

"Looking for death, walking without eyes!" Without waiting for Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao to recover from the shock, the cavalrymen who almost injured their own people rushed to scold first.

It's strange to say that the bandits who were almost trampled on by the war horse were very reasonable in Cheng Mingzhen's opinion, but they didn't dare to fight back at all. While bowing his head to get out of the way, he apologized and said, "Auntie, don't be angry. We didn't hear your Luan ringtone! "Don't remember the villain, the adults of the seven masters, we are holding the envoy of the enemy army, so I didn't notice your old man!"

"Cut it directly. What are you doing in the camp, do you think we have too much rations to eat? The rider who led the team was used to running amok and gave a sharp order.

"Seven masters, the two countries will not fight each other!" The little leader of the bandits who escorted Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao was still a little bold, arched his hand, and responded loudly.

"Bullshit, that two countries! We are heroes in the green forest, we come and go without a trace, where did we come from? The rider who led the team pumped into the air and asked in a crisp voice.

Cheng Mingzhen had long noticed that the bandit leader in front of him, known as the Seven Masters, was a woman, but he didn't expect that the women in the rogue were more vicious than men. In order to save himself, he had to take a few steps forward, and hugged his fist to the other party with a smile, "I've seen the seven masters, and I'm waiting for the county order to send a letter to Leader Zhang." If the Seven Masters can let the two of us die after meeting the big leader, Cheng will be grateful! ”

"Who needs your gratitude for a dead man!" The female bandit pointed a horsewhip at Cheng Mingzhen's forehead and laughed loudly. As soon as the words fell, she quickly frowned again and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you?" Just in time, save me from looking for you under the city walls! ”

Cheng Mingzhen was stupidly asked by the other party's headless words, and quietly stepped back, and asked with a smile: "Do you recognize the seven masters?" Cheng really didn't expect it! Please forgive Cheng for being clumsy......"

"Come on. Sour! Wouldn't it be nice to talk? It's like drinking vinegar! The female bandit on horseback pouted slightly, and the expression on her face was contemptuous. I haven't seen you before. Don't be close to it. Today, when you shot Hao Laodao, I was under the city wall. He was injured in the thigh by your arrow, and he returned to the camp with all his strength, and it is estimated that he will not recover at all in ten days and half a month. That's why I'm bringing people to you for trouble! Hehe, it's good if you're here, I won't bully you with too many people, just shoot an arrow at your thigh, and then never owe each other. ”

"Seven masters!" When the small leader of the bandits who escorted Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. "Since he is here, do you want Zhang Da to meet him first, and then you will dispose of it. Otherwise, the big boss will ask, and the small one really can't afford it! ”

"Uncle Plop, look at your little bit of interest! It's a big man, I'm afraid of everything! If the big boss knows how many whips he can whip you, can he still kill you? The corners of the female bandit's mouth curled, and she sneered at the bandit leader.

"It's not you who dares to be whipped!" The little bandit leader known as Uncle Plop muttered softly.

"What did you say?" The female bandit frowned, and the leather whip in her hand was immediately raised high. "Kind of repeat again!"

The leader of the little bandit did not dare to answer, and his body was huddled in a ball, but he blocked the female bandit's horse head. I'd rather be beaten than let the female bandits hurt two teenagers. Seeing him acting like this, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't bear it. After a few steps to the side, he smiled at the female bandit's horsewhip and said, "Don't be angry first. Isn't it just an arrow, Cheng Mou let you shoot it. At that time, the distance was about eighty paces, and Cheng was standing here waiting, asking the seventh master to draw the bow eighty paces away! ”

"Okay, you're kind enough!" The female bandit immediately shook her horse's head, rubbed past the little bandit leader, and ran eighty paces away. Turning, she cleanly removed her horned bow from behind her saddle and put on her feathered arrow. The fingers were slightly loose, and a little black light rushed straight to Cheng Xiaojiu with the sound of the wind.

These few actions were very crisp, and the bandits had no time to stop them, so they had to flee with their heads in their hands, and at the same time secretly felt sorry for the young man in their hearts. The archery of the seven-master cuckoo is learned from the fifth master Hao Laodao, and it is not difficult to shoot a big living person from eighty steps away. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in this army, and a hole in the thigh may not bleed to death on the spot, but whether or not he can survive afterwards depends on the destiny of heaven.

said that it was too late, it was fast, seeing that the feather arrow was coming, Wang Ermao didn't care if he could block it or not, so he pounced in front of his good friend. Cheng Mingzhen wanted to push him away anymore, it was too late, and he watched Wumang fly in, and shot into his good friend's pants with a "snap".

"Ermao!" Cheng Ming screamed loudly, and his heart hurt more than if he was shot. One hand held the other hand, and the other hand quickly pulled out the feather arrow, and before the fingers could touch the place, the black arrow shaft had fallen softly on its own. If you look closely, where is the arrow on the shaft, it is clearly a wooden stick with a sudden light, and there is a faint trace of blood on the top.

"Ouch my mother, it hurts me to death!" Wang Ermao only reacted at this time and cried out in pain. The fingers couldn't wait to cover the wound, but no more blood was covered. The hot sensation runs down the thighs and only rushes to the brain.

"Thank you Seven!" Cheng Mingzhen immediately understood what the other party meant, and pulled up Wang Ermao, who was still in a cold sweat, to thank the female bandit.

"You two are righteous!" The female bandit was also taken aback by the scene just now, and couldn't help but smile at Wang Ermao, who was grinning with his teeth, and praised loudly. After praising it, she neatly took the reins of the horse again, urged the mount to rush to the top of the heads of the two teenagers, pointed at the leather whip, and raised her eyebrows: "But this is just to seek justice for Hao Laodao." You little white-faced and wicked, you have hurt so many of our brothers this morning, and you don't want to escape with a word of surrender! This city full of young and old, anyone can let go, but you can't let go. ”

"Seven masters, you say, you say he is the head of the soldiers guarding the city?" didn't wait for Cheng Mingzhen to reply, Uncle Putong, who had been talking and laughing with him all the way just now, stammered and asked the female bandit.

"Or maybe he's a cunning man. If I hadn't happened to see it, you would have been tricked into selling by him today, and you would have to count the money for him! The female bandit took the horse around for half a circle and replied with a sneer.

Several bandits were startled and instinctively ducked a few steps back. Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen's expression was still as usual, the anger in his heart immediately stopped fighting, and he rushed forward and counted down with a scolding and said, "You little bastard is too lacking in virtue." So many brothers have died at your hands, and you dare to come to the camp as a lobbyist. You don't have to do it at home, you will take care of you now! ”

"Go away. You who don't have eyes. Killing an unarmed man at the gate of his own camp doesn't he feel like he has fallen off the shelf? The female bandit waved her whip again, whipping the minions one by one to grin. All went to Wang Mazi to get the board, and each person gave twenty strokes. It is forbidden to evade concealment. Next time, if you don't have eyes, I'll gouge out all your eyes! ”

The minions did not dare to return their mouths, and sighed and dispersed. The female bandit turned her face to Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao, and the corners of her mouth smiled faintly, "Come in with me, I'll take you to find Uncle Zhang." If he wants to dig out your heart and soul to pay tribute to your brothers, I will propose to give you a good time! ”
