Fu hurriedly pulled the pedestrian to ask what it was, it turned out that there was a section of the hillside ten miles away, on one side was a steep riverbank, last night's heavy rain, the hillside mud and rocks sliding, the road was washed away dozens of zhang, this official road can not go through, to notify the government to send someone to repair it quickly.

Zhou Xuan was dumbfounded, this road repair was at least ten days and half a month, and asked: "This is going to Jiangzhou, but there is another way?" ”

The man said, "In addition to the waterway, you can take the Guiya Mountain, where there is a remote mountain road that can bypass the previous section." "We're going to hurry.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Wait a minute, do you know the way to take Guiya Mountain?" ”

The man nodded and said, "The people from Suijiazhuang over there, how can they not know the road of Guiya Mountain." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "That's right, I'll hire you, a tael of silver, and you take us to Guiya Mountain." ”

The man said happily: "Very good, I am on the way to Yongxiu to visit relatives, let's go." ”

This person said that his surname was Sui, and the people of Suijiazhuang naturally had the surname Sui, and he just said that he was Xiaosui.

Xiao Sui also wore a hat and a robe, got into the car and sat next to the coachman Lao Yang.

Lao Yang asked, "Can the carriage of Ghost Tooth Mountain pass?" ”

Xiao Sui said: "It's okay, it's just a little bumpy." ”

Everyone was relieved, and according to the small instructions, they made a big circle from the left side and walked towards the mountains and tombs.

The rain was still dripping, and at noon, the group rested for a while in a small forest, ate some food, fed the horses some bean feed, and continued on their way, to bypass the Guiya Mountain before dark, and rush to Shizuitou to stay overnight. According to Xiao Sui, here to Shizuitou is thirty miles of road, of which twenty miles is a mountain road, usually more than an hour to walk, this rainy day may take some more time.

The group meandered through the narrow mountain road, about ten miles, and Xiao Sui said, "I'm sorry, but let's go down to the side of the road for convenience." "Jump out of the carriage. Dig into the bushes on the side of the road.

Zhou Xuan: They waited for a while. I didn't see Xiao Sui come out. Rifles shouted a few times, but no one answered.

After all, the three idiot and the four idiot brothers have been licking blood all year round, and they immediately became alert, and the two of them guarded the front and back of the carriage one after the other.

Zhou Xuan also felt that something was wrong, and looked around, wow, the two mountains are sandwiched. There is a small road in the middle, the terrain is extremely treacherous, if the generals in the Three Kingdoms are lured into this terrain by the enemy, then there is only one dead end, or ten thousand arrows, or rolling wood and stones, or fire attack, or flooding. In short, it's a whimper!

Laifu was still shouting in a straight voice: "Xiao Sui-Xiao Sui-"

Zhou Xuan said: "No need to call. Dismount and stand between the horse and the cart—"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the hooves of horses at both ends of the mountain road, and dozens of people came. The way to and from is blocked.

Lao Yang exclaimed: "Bandit! ”

In the area of Guiya Mountain, there were small groups of bandits in the early years, but in recent years, I have not heard of any thieves, although there are many mountains in this area, the mountains are not high, the forests are not deep, and it is easy for officers and soldiers to suppress them.

The two groups of people at both ends of the mountain road approached violently, both riding horses, not wearing hats, bare-headed in the rain, their heads scattered, black bands on their foreheads, their faces were also painted black, only the whites of their eyes and teeth were shining, and they were murderous with steel spears and broadswords in their hands.

One of the thieves heard Lao Yang's exclamation, and hurriedly responded: "That's right, grandpa is a bandit, robbing money, beauty, and territory, hurry up and hand over the beauty and silver to grandpa, and leave you all corpses, otherwise, cut into meat sauce." ”

Yang Xiaofeng poked her head out of the car window with a shocked expression.

Laifu said in horror: "Why are the thieves so ruthless now, my brother Wangcai was robbed by a lone thief last year, and he was spared by handing over the eight hundred wen on his body, this-"

The thief laughed and said, "Those are all unsuccessful thieves, and a large number of thieves like Grandpa naturally leave no chickens and dogs wherever they pass." ”

Zhou Xuan looked at the three idiots and the four idiots, the two cousins were all sneering, their hands were not pressed on the handle of the knife, they were riding on the saddle and hugging their arms and sneering, not taking these thieves in their eyes at all.

Zhou Xuan had confidence, waved his hand at Yang Xiaofeng, signaled not to be afraid, and said with a smile: "You bandits are new recruits, why don't you look like thieves, but like officers and soldiers!" ”

There were more than 30 people in the two gangs of thieves, and they were all stunned when they heard Zhou Xuandi's words, and the bandit who talked a lot asked: "We are new recruits, what's wrong with the new recruits, we kill people more ruthlessly, brothers, give it to me, cut this kid, this kid is the most hateful!" ”

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, all bandits, you don't seem to understand the rules of bandits, how can bandits be like this?" ”

The bandit shouted: "The rule of the bandit is to kill people and kill goods!" Kill! Kill!

Zhou Xuan said categorically: "Wrong! There are rules in every line, and thieves also have rules for thieves, don't you all know how to sing those two lines? ”

"Sing what?" The thieves asked in unison.

Zhou Xuan said: "I want to sing about robbery - I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from here, leave ,—— buy road money, can you sing?" Come, I'll teach you, all of you sing together, and get ready—"

Two thieves looked at each other and muttered, "There is also this rule, this sings quite rhyming, why don't you learn it first?" ”

After all, such stupid bandits are a minority, and most of them roar: "We don't buy road money, we want your lives." ”

Zhou Xuan put away his smiling face and asked coldly: "The knives and guns in your hands are all brought out by the arsenal, let's see if there is a steel seal of the Zhennan Protectorate on the weapon?" ”

All the thieves were shocked together, and the black ink on their faces was washed by the rain at this time, revealing their flesh color, and they couldn't hide their panic, looked at each other, and shouted: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! All of them looked like they were accustomed to fighting, their legs were clenched on the horse's belly, and they waved knives and guns in their hands, rushing towards Zhou Xuan and others from both ends of the mountain road.

The three idiots asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, kill or stay?" ”

Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Keep one." "At this time, there is no soft-heartedness, if it weren't for the fact that he accepted a master of swordsmanship like Sanzhi as a sword slave by mistake, then he might really die on this ghost tooth mountain road today, the corpse will be smashed, and Laifu will also die, and the master and servant will not return as soon as they go to Hongzhou, and his two little wives in Jiangzhou will never wait for him to come back!

The third idiot turned his head and said, "Fourth brother, you deal with that head." "The black iron sword on his back" "Then out of the sheath, the whole person bounced off the horse's back like a projectile, jumped into the group of bandits, the toes of the toes were a little on the head of a bandit, the black iron sword cut under the footboard, the other hand grabbed the bandit's head, and with a leap of strength, the thief's head was separated from the body, and the neck cavity spurted blood.

The three idiots jumped on the heads of the thieves like this, cutting off the heads of the five thieves one after another like harvesting rice, and the five heads were intertwined and intertwined, carrying them in their hands, and blood was splattering, like blood rain in the air.

The more than ten thieves at this end were extremely frightened, and they didn't dare to step forward anymore, and they danced wildly to the sky one by one, protecting their brains, and preventing the three idiots from settling down, but it was useless, and the weapons in their hands were knocked away in one round, and the moment their heads left their necks and rose into the air, they could still maintain their five senses, and they could see their neck cavity spurting blood-

The four thieves rolled off the saddle and clutched their heads with both hands.

The three idiots flew to the ground, this time they didn't cut their heads, three swords, stabbed three people to death, only one was left, kicked him in the waist and eye, sealed the ** road, threw the six heads in his hand on the ground, and walked back with the remaining thief.

At this time, the four idiots had also killed all the eleven thieves on the way, he was very simple, they were all a sword through the throat, not as cruel as the three idiots, cut off the head and carry it in the hand to feel heavy.

Zhou Xuan was also thrilled, and for the first time felt the iron-blooded cruelty of the three idiots and the four idiot brothers.

"Master, ask this guy."

The three idiots threw the only remaining bandit in front of the carriage, and the thief's face was completely bloodless, his lips were trembling, and his teeth were rattling.

Zhou Xuan settled down and asked, "Did Wei Jue send you?" ”

The thief was so frightened that his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't speak, but just nodded.

The four idiots took the weapons of the bandits, and there was no word about the Zhennan Metropolitan Protectorate, so it seems that the people who handled this matter were still very careful.

There is nothing to ask anymore, Zhou Xuan frowned, he didn't expect Wei Jue to be so ruthless, he was going to put him to death, what should he do now? Of course, you can't go back to Hongzhou to reason with a Jiedu envoy Gongzi who has a heavy army, or take this witness back to Jiangzhou and tell Uncle Lin to see how this matter is handled? After all, it's too much at stake!

The four idiots said angrily: "It's really that Wei Jue!" Zhou Xuan, you pay me 10,000 taels of silver, and I'll help you kill him. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Ah, our relationship is like this, and we can talk about money!" ”

The four idiots said: "The thieves have rules, and we rangers also have rules, and if you don't pay, you won't kill." ”

"Then you didn't kill eleven just now!"

"That's not counting, that's self-defense, these people want to kill me too."

Zhou Xuan thought for a while and said, "Wei Jue won't kill first, this person will die in my hands sooner or later, and going to assassinate him now will make his father suspect us and your senior brothers." ”

The four idiots think about it and say no more.

Lao Yang trembled and said: "I'm scared to death, where are you going, it's all corpses!" ”
