Chapter 9: Plan Ahead

After continuing to discuss some details, Chao Chong couldn't help asking, "Father, are you sure that Erlong Mountain did this?" Someone can't be suspicious, right? ”

Chao Gai laughed and said, "Whether it's true or not, does it matter?" ”

Zhiduoxing Wu Yong also looked at Chao Chong with a smile and said, "How are they?" What if it's not them? "Obviously, there is a meaning of the school examination. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chao Chong thought about it for a while and understood, the purpose of Chao Gai's move was to kill Liwei, as long as the purpose of Liwei was achieved, and the purpose of deterring the enemy was achieved, who would kill it?

Chao Chong smiled: "The child understands. Jianghu has never been a place where only faith and righteousness are spoken, but more about iron and blood. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said to Chao Chong: "This operation is very dangerous, but how can my son be afraid of difficulties!" Go and see your mother, and don't tell her about your actions, lest she be worried. ”

Chao Chong understood what Chao Gai meant, the so-called preparation is more about psychological preparation, including dying in battle. Reunite with your family in advance, and even if you die in battle, don't leave too many regrets.

Chao Chong was also a little ashamed, since he started practicing martial arts, Chao Chong rarely got along with his mother. In addition to the routine greetings and greetings every day, he devoted himself to martial arts training. Diligence is a reason, and the guilt of occupying someone's son's body is also a reason, every time he sees his mother's love, Chao Chong feels guilty in his heart.

But tomorrow's action is not trivial, even if Chao Chong has the golden finger to quickly recover his strength, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not die in battle. Because in the chaos of war, any accident can happen.

Therefore, we must cherish this opportunity to fulfill our filial piety.

In the evening, Chao Chong did not go to practice martial arts again, but followed Chao Gai and his mother Wang's family of three to have a leisurely dinner. Chao Chong's words also increased, saying a lot of interesting things in training, the news of Chao Sheng and Chao Yang's troubles, the three of them laughed, and they were very harmonious. After the meal, Chao Chong also gave his mother Wang a beating on the back and told a few small jokes, which made his mother laugh.

After dinner, Chao Chong went to Chao Sheng and Chao Yang to discuss the task. Only Chao Gai and his mother Wang were left in the house. Wang, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned sad, looked at Chao Gai, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xianggong, are you going to do something dangerous?" ”

Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and flatly denied: "No." You don't have to be cranky. ”

Wang said quietly: "Do you still want to hide it?" The concubine has followed you for many years, don't I understand your temperament? Every time before you go on an adventure, you will be especially gentle. It's just that I can't imagine that Chong'er is ...... this time, why even he has to go, he is still just a child! ”

Chao Gai sighed, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and gently hugged Wang in his arms and said, "The one who knows me is also a good wife!" Chong'er will be the pillar of the Chao family in the future, so I must do everything I can to train him. This is just a small test, with me by his side, he will be fine! ”

In her heart, Wang actually wanted to hear Chao Gai say to her, "You think too much". Seeing that his guess came true, his heart was even more sad, isn't it enough to endure the birth and death of his husband? Now my son is even going to fight. I couldn't help asking, "Can Chong'er not go?" ”

Chao Gai shook his head firmly and said: "If you don't go through practice, it will be difficult to become a great tool in the end!" ”

Seeing her husband's resolute attitude, Wang could only stick her head in his broad chest and weep silently.

The next day, the preparations were made, this time the Chao family was facing the dangerous terrain of Erlong Mountain, and there were four or five hundred outlaws. Therefore, the one hundred and fifty Chao clan guards were all ready for battle.

In the first step, Chao Gai ordered people to use a daytime to cordon off Dongxi Village and check strangers to prevent the spies from Erlong Mountain from listening to the news.

In the second step, Chao Gai left his personal confidant Uncle Cai behind, organized some servants, and shouted loudly on the martial arts training ground, pretending to be training.

In the third step, all the 150 guards rested during the day, prepared dry food for three days, and left the village at night after the second watch at night and went straight to Erlong Mountain. Zhiduoxing Wu Yong also traveled with the team.

Erlong Mountain is more than 100 miles away from Dongxi Village, but under Wu Yong's suggestion, it took two nights to rush to the foot of Erlong Mountain.

Chao Gai beckoned everyone to his side and began to assign tasks. Xiang Wu Yong gestured: "Pedant, you come to explain your respective tasks to everyone." ”

Wu Yong nodded and said: "Erlong Mountain has not been broken by the government for a long time, and there are three advantages, one of which is that the leader of the dragon is strong in martial arts, and he has practiced to the fullest in a golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the world. Second, the mountain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Third, five hundred outlaws, crazy and abnormal. ”

Wu Yong looked at Chao Chong, Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, and Chen Cheng in front of him, and saw that they were not frightened by this, and continued: "Although the dragon descending Rulai martial arts are strong, after being defeated in the hands of the Heavenly King three years ago, he no longer dares to step into Yuncheng half a step, and now, the Dragon Descending Rulai is still dealt with by the Heavenly King. ”

Chao Gai said: "In the past three years, he has been improving, and I am also improving, to see who is more powerful." ”

Wu Yong continued: "Three levels, my strategy is like this. Tomorrow, Tianwang, Chao Chong, Chao Yang, Chen Cheng and I, a total of five people, went up the mountain under the pretext of worshipping the mountain and explaining the misunderstanding of Huangnigang. When the other party sees that there are few of us, they will definitely agree. The dragon descended to the top of the mountain with the intention of tricking us to the top of the mountain and killing us. This is more important for us to act. Entering the first checkpoint, Chong'er excused himself for diarrhea and stayed nearby, waiting for our signal on the mountain. Entering the second level, Chao Yang excused himself to wait for the young master, stayed nearby, and waited for our signal on the mountain. Entering the third level, not far from the main hall of the Baozhu Temple, the dragon must be proud, and he refuses to greet him in person. At most, the second-class master of the village, the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, came out to greet him, and Deng Long's second-rate level was not enough to fear. At this time, Tianwang, Chen Cheng and I suddenly attacked, grabbed the third level, and sent out a flame signal, and Chong'er and Chao Yang immediately started to snatch the level. And sent a signal, Chao Sheng saw the signal at the bottom of the mountain, and immediately led the Chao Clan's escort team up the mountain to respond. The key to this mission is that we only have a few people, and we need to use the fastest speed to win the level, especially Chong'er and Chaoyang, the first time we fight, we may have to kill people, are you ready? ”

Chao Chong and Chao Yang glanced at each other and said firmly: "Ready, no mercy!" ”

Chao Gai saw that Wu Yong finished speaking, and thought for a while and said, "Pedant, don't go up the mountain, your body is too weak." Chao Gai mercilessly pointed out Wu Yong's flaws.

Wu Yong smiled and said: "Compared to the Heavenly King, I am naturally inferior, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people." And I'm dressed up for show, so I can deceive people even more. We should kill one of the opposing leaders at the first moment. And I, who is dressed as a showman, is the most suitable candidate for a sneak attack. ”

Chao Gai looked at Wu Yongliang for a long time, nodded and said: "There is no need to say much between brothers, they share weal and woe, life and death!" After speaking, he stretched out his fist to Wu Yong. Wu smiled and raised his fist to touch it. The two of them laughed knowingly.

Seeing this, Chao Chong hurriedly followed suit, stretched out his palm upward, and said to Chao Yang, Chao Sheng and Chen Cheng: "Share weal and woe, life and death!" The three of them also stretched out their palms and superimposed Chao Chong and said: "Share joys and sorrows, life and death!" After speaking, everyone looked at each other and smiled.

At dawn the next day, everything went according to plan, Chao Gai five people each brought weapons and slowly went to Erlong Mountain, before they reached the foot of the mountain, the mountain patrol minions who were responsible for investigating the news found five people and sent the news to the Baozhu Temple on the top of the mountain.

A fat monk with a face like pale gold sat on the wide first seat, listened to the report of the little minion, and frowned: "Chao Gai actually came to my Erlong Mountain in person, does he have any backhand?" ”

An ugly man with short hair and ring-eyes on the seat next to the fat monk said, "Big brother, I'm afraid of what he will do." As long as he comes up the mountain, we will surround us in all directions, and no matter how brave Chao Gai is, only five people will be consumed by us! ”

The fat monk still frowned and said, "Chao Gai, that's not an ordinary person, it's impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake." Could it be that there is some conspiracy in there? Can the news of Chao Gai's house come up from the mountain? Are you really sure that there are only five people? ”

The ugly man with short hair and ring-eyes shouted, "Big brother, you are too careful. Our spies from Yuncheng wrote that the training of the Chao family's bankers shouting and screaming in the mansion every day was no different from usual. Moreover, the younger brother who patrols the mountain has also heard about it, and there has been no large group of people around my Erlong Mountain recently. It's not that the younger brother said you, since you were defeated by Chao Gai three years ago, the eldest brother has lost a little bit of freedom. Do you want us to put aside the Buddha's clothes and pursue a happy life and enjoy a lifetime? How can you be frightened by Chao Gai! This is a godsend opportunity to let Chao cover my trap, if you miss the opportunity, you won't come again, big brother decide! ”

The fat monk hesitated for a long time, although his intuition was a little inappropriate, but he really couldn't see what the problem was, and the fat monk was defeated by Chao Gai a few years ago, and there were some shadows in his heart, and he didn't dare to deal with Chao Gai openly, and now there is a God-given opportunity to use his brothers to besiege and kill him, if he misses it, God will not tolerate it!

The fat monk finally nodded and said: "Second brother, everything is arranged by you, first trick Chao Gai into the temple, I will prepare some poisonous wine banquet, if the poisonous wine banquet does not work, kill it with knives, axes, bows and arrows, and surround and kill it!" ”

The short-haired, ring-eyed ugly man was overjoyed and said: "The world says that Chao Gai is the hero of the world, we will kill him, and who can stop the prestige of the rivers and lakes!" Our brother is famous today, big brother, wait a minute, I will go and trick Chao Gai into the cottage! With that, he trotted down the hill.

Chao Gai and his group of five people arrived at the foot of the mountain, and looked up, Erlong Mountain is a continuous mountain peak, with a radius of forty or fifty miles, and hundreds of mountains. But only the main peak of Erlong Mountain facing the plain is the most precipitous, in the plain land suddenly rises hundreds of zhang, the grass and trees on the mountain are lush and green, and there is only a steep mountain road leading to the top of the mountain. Originally, it was the villagers under the mountain who went to the Baozhu Temple to worship the Buddha to repair, and now the Baozhu Temple is occupied by the bandits, and three checkpoints have been built on the mountain road.

And even if the Baozhu Temple was captured, the mountains and forests behind the main peak of Erlong Mountain were also their way to escape. This is also one of the reasons why the government has been unable to exterminate the bandits in Erlong Mountain for several years.

Slowly walking up the rugged mountain road, but was not stopped by the bandits, until the first checkpoint, the brick and stone wall of two zhang high blocked the road, and a few minions with knives and guns on the city wall raised their bows and arrows and shouted: "Who is coming?" Stop or we're going to shoot the arrows! The other minions also took the opportunity to insult the people who came, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Chao Gai was tall, his voice was loud, his mouth was like thunder, overpowering everyone, and he said loudly: "Chao Gai of Dongxi Village came to visit Erlong Mountain, go and spread the word!" ”

Those little minions had naturally heard of Chao Gai's big name, this was a big man, and they didn't dare to insult him again, so he hurriedly said: "The great name of the Heavenly King has also heard of it, and wait a while, so I will pass it on." ”

The short-haired, ring-eyed ugly man who had been hiding in the first checkpoint house for a long time, saw Chao Gai and them coming, and did not go out immediately, but first exposed them to show his majesty. also give the eldest brother time to prepare a poisoned wine banquet.

After nearly half an hour, the ugly man with short hair and ring-eyes came out of the house, pretended to have just arrived, climbed the city wall, and said condescendingly: "It turned out to be the king of Chao Tian, under the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, who has long admired the name of the king of heaven." I don't know what the King of Heaven wants to come to my Erlong Mountain? ”

Chao Gai smiled and hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be the second master." Chao came here, but Xingshi came to ask for guilt. Chao Gai went straight to the point, and the purpose was to enter the level as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Deng Long laughed and said: "Chao Tian Wang Moufei is joking, where did my little Erlongshan offend the Heavenly King, please make it clear!" ”

Chao Gai said: "The goods of the Huangnigang Zhenyuan Dart Bureau were robbed, and some people said that they saw the big boss descending dragon Rulai appearing nearby, so they came to ask one or two. ”

Deng Long feigned anger and said: "How can this be true, who is it who slanders my eldest brother so much, who is it?" ”

Chao Gai sneered and looked at Deng Long's performance, and said: "Whether that's the case, I think it's better to confront Long Rulai face to face." If there is a misunderstanding, I will come forward to clarify the two leaders on the rivers and lakes. So I traveled lightly, only took my son Chao Chong and two family members, and specially invited Mr. Wu Yongwu Jialiang from Yuncheng to be a witness. I wonder if you can let us go up the mountain? ”

When Deng Long heard Chao Gai say that his son Chao Chong also came with him, he was immediately overjoyed, killing you, an old immortal, and even accompanying a little bastard, God help me! So he hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, don't do anything wrong, even if the ghost calls the door." Hurry up and open the gate and invite the king to enter! ”

Chao Gai gestured slightly to Chao Chong behind him, and everyone understood, and as Chao Gai entered the first level, he and Deng Long introduced each other. Deng Long was afraid that Chao Gai would be cheating, so several strong minions gathered around him, stretched out his hand and said, "Please follow me!" "Lead the way.

After walking for only ten steps, Chao Cheng suddenly sighed, and said with an unspeakable concealment on his face: "Brother Deng Long, there is a toilet nearby, I have a bad stomach in the morning, and I want to take a dip!" ”

Deng Long was secretly happy in his heart, if he could catch Chao Gai's son, if he couldn't suppress Chao Gai, he could still have a hostage to force him to comply, and someone would send him a pillow if he was really sleepy. Hurriedly said to a strong minion beside him: "People have three urgency, and they can't be delayed, so go and take Chao Gongzi to the toilet." After speaking, he patted the strong minion on the shoulder and said, "Don't slack off!" He also winked.

The strong minion understood, answered, and led Chao Chong to the so-called latrine.

Chao Gai and his party continued to climb up the second level, Chao Yang knew that the time had come for him to perform, and he arched his hand to Chao Gai: "Master, the young master hasn't caught up yet, I'll go back and see him." ”

That Deng Long hurriedly obstructed: "People have three urgency, maybe the little young master has pulled it for a while, don't worry." ”

Chao Gai said to Chao Yang: "I think Chong'er is really unwell, so you can wait here for a while." ”

Deng Long saw that his plan was not disturbed, and he was happy to see that the forces around Chao Gai were scattered. In this way, Chao Gai has only one family member and a showman by his side. Hehe, Chao Gai, you really died by yourself, you can't complain about me waiting!
