Chapter 227: Bow to the powerful
After Zhao Kuo arrived in Qi County with more than 1,000 county soldiers, Qi Weng finally understood that in the past month or so, Chang'an Jun had collected the power of various families, but it was just a means for him to concentrate power and take away the armed forces of the various heroes.
The arrival of these county soldiers was not only a catastrophe for the group of thieves, but also like a pair of invisible hands, choking the necks of the heroes, and since then, it is impossible for them to clamp Chang'an Jun in terms of soldiers and food.
The Qi clan's idea of making Chang'anjun and the group of thieves lose both, so as to increase their own weight, also proved to be purely a pipe dream, and they realized that Chang'anjun, a powerful man, was not something that the Qi clan could handle by relying on both ends of the first rat.
As a local tycoon who speculated several times between Qin and Zhao, Qi Weng quickly made a decision, and that night, he dragged the sick body to visit Chang'an Jun in person, saying that he was willing to give a thousand stones of grain to let the county soldiers have enough food. At the same time, he also tried his best to say that the Qi family was completely on the side of Chang'anjun in this crackdown on thieves.
"But the son has orders, and he obeys them all! The old sons and grandchildren, the whole Qi family, are willing to serve the son! “
Chang'anjun praised Qi Weng's righteous deeds, saying that he was a model for the chief of Qi County, and after Qi Weng said that he wanted to officially say goodbye to the old, Chang'an Jun officially recruited Qi Mengming, the eldest son of the Qi family, to succeed him as the third elder and exempt him from forced labor.
From this day on, the people of Qi County have never seen Qi Zhongping again, and Qi Weng is vague to the outside world, saying that he went to South Korea to join the party, but there are rumors in the county that Qi Zhongping actually went to Hedong County of Qin......
No matter what the rumors are, after the Qi family completely fell to Chang'anjun, the relationship between the two sides entered the honeymoon period, with the Qi family taking the lead, and the county chiefs all trembling to show their loyalty to Chang'an Jun, so that the county soldiers were invited to enter Qi County to "deter Xiaoxiao" This point was done, from the first time he entered the county to the clear capture of the soldiers and food of the heroes, and then completely controlled the situation with the help of external forces, Mingyue spent two months......
The internal affairs have been settled, so that Qi County, regardless of whether it is high or low, is subject to the leadership of Chang'an Jun, and he only intends to use the power of the county to do one thing: suppress the group of thieves and eliminate the two evils!
However, just when Hao Chang was under pressure to pledge his allegiance, there was also a group of people on Nanxiang Zhener Mountain who were making a choice about whether to bow to the powerful......
……
The terrain of Taiyuan is complex, in addition to the Jinyang Basin and the Fenhe Valley, the surrounding mountains are undulating, the forest is multidistant, in addition to the Taihang giant vein that stands in the east, there are four big mountains, respectively, the Xiawu Mountain in the north, the Shaoyang Mountain in the west, the Huqi Mountain, and the Huo Tai Mountain in the south.
Huo Tai Mountain has many branch hills, and the northernmost is the Chener Mountain.
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the mountain belongs to the third mountain system in the north and is located 200 miles north of the main peak of Huotai Mountain. This mountain stands in the southeast of Zhaoyu Qi, is the junction between Zhao and Han, this mountain is full of pine trees and cypresses, but also contains gold, jade, it is a good place to take materials, the place of mining, since more than ten years ago by a group of Wei refugees, the remnants of the army occupied, it has become a place of thieves, the abyss of escape, began to become unapproachable.
On this day in mid-May, a group of thirty or forty people were climbing along the mountain road where outsiders could hardly find it, including fierce men with scars on their faces, and young teenagers who had not yet grown beards. Some of them wore burlap, some wore fur, and a few had rudimentary armor, but judging by the wornness, they were probably stripped from the dead men.
Of course, it is not ordinary people who can swagger freely up and down the mountain, but the bandits who occupy this place.
Behind the thieves who opened the way were men leading sheep, and carrying large bags of clothing, and jars and jars, which were trophies they had brought from the nearby villages, and among them was a man with a black sack on his head, his hands tied, and an old man with gray hair pushing and stumbling forward.
This person is the youngest of the four black-clothed people under Chang'an Jun, he was ordered to work with Lu Goujian and others to investigate the thieves in Nanxiang, which was quite effective, but when he was about to go back, he happened to hear that the thieves were dispatched to loot in a certain area.
So Post Wuxin made a bold decision, that is, to go directly to the bandits and be arrested!
Lu Goujian thought he was crazy, but the post Wuxin said that no matter how long he had been in Nanxiang, it was better to really climb the mountain to take a look, this was a rare opportunity, since those thieves claimed to be righteous thieves and did not kill innocents indiscriminately, they should not hurt his life.
So, Mail Wuxin swaggered in front of the group of thieves who robbed Zhenghuan, and was deliberately caught alive, he has not yet identified himself at the moment, and the group of thieves still thinks that he is a good family who has come to travel, and they are discussing how to deal with it along the way, whether to extort or not.
So they said threatening words all the way, thinking that this young man was going to be scared to pee, but they never thought that he was so calm, although he was covered with his head, but this person chattered in the Qixian dialect that he was not fluent in, and asked this and that along the way, which made the group of thieves annoyed.
No, when he was resting, he asked again: "Second and third sons, I have already fallen out of bruises, haven't you arrived at Ershan yet?" “
No one paid attention to him, but the young thief in front of him who was carrying a bag of clothes turned around and said, "What kind of mountain is called Sheep's Head Mountain!" ”
"Because the mountain resembles a sheep's head?" The post is covered with a sack of money, and this mountain has been observed from afar, its mountain is deep and dangerous, the rocks are steep, the mountain winds back to the stream, coiled and swirling, it is indeed a good place for a group of thieves to hide.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything now, so he could only let people lead and push him forward, but he could still judge that at first, the group of thieves should have taken him in the direction of the east, and then turned south, and heard the sound of gurgling water around him along the way, and the water flow was not small.
He knew that there was a stream called "Yinghou Shui" on the north side of the mountain, which flowed into the water to the north, and they should have followed the Yinghou Water upstream, and then went up the mountain from the path.
Then there was an endless uphill climb, with slippery dirt roads under your feet, it had rained only a few days ago, and the mountain roads were slippery, and you didn't know how many times she had slipped and fallen, and she had made her head covered in mud, which made the bandits laugh endlessly.
After they had walked for a long time, and when they had climbed another hill, the sunlight that had been shining above his head gradually disappeared, and although they could not see the situation, but by the faint change of light in front of them, they guessed that they had entered a valley, with rugged rocks at their feet, a murmuring stream in their ears, and from time to time birds skimming overhead, and wild beasts making the sound of squirping in the grass.
After arriving here, they began to meet some people often, and the group of thieves greeted the people they met, who should be bandits patrolling the mountains, and it seemed that this place was very close to the thieves' lair......
At last, they stopped in the midst of cheers and uproar, and the sacks on their heads were removed for the first time, and after squinting and getting used to it, they saw that they were indeed in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
The trees in the valley shade the sky and the sun, and many simple shacks have been erected under those mountain walls and big trees, and there are many thieves who are logging inside and outside the shacks, and there are also women with low eyebrows, washing clothes in twos and threes, and even ...... with children
These houses stretched for miles in the valley leading into the depths, where there seemed to be some caves among the vines, and the caves were still inhabited. Seeing that some of their companions had returned with a lot of clothing and food, the thieves let out a burst of cheers, and a group of children also gathered around, raising their heads and laughing.
If you didn't know that this is a thief's nest, you would think that this is an ordinary village in the countryside!
He was about to take a closer look when a group of heavily armed thieves pushed away the crowd and walked over, slapping a scar-faced thief who seemed to be a small boss with a fierce momentum, and when he arrived, he slapped the person who had untied the sack by Mail Wuxin! Then the duck-like voice sounded:
"Didn't you say you would unravel it when you got into the hole? You have turned a deaf ear to the words of the captain!? “
"The lesson of the centurion is to be ......"
It seems that these thieves still use the army system to manage the group of thieves, and the thieves who were invincible just now immediately became submissive, and he did not dare to resist the "centurion", so he poured his anger on the post Wuxin, came over and cursed, and was about to kick him and put the sack on again.
Unexpectedly, the post was untrustworthy but shrewd, causing the thief to kick in the air and almost fall to the ground!
"Hahahaha!" The thieves didn't think it was a big deal, and they all laughed.
"You!" The thief lost someone, and in a fit of rage, he clenched his fist to hit the post without letter, but he dodged it again, and tripped the thief, so that the thief grabbed the ground in front of him, and the post without letter sat on him with a relaxed expression.
At this time, the group of thieves couldn't laugh, and they suddenly found that this young man who chattered all the way had martial arts, which was not simple.
"Who are you?"
At the beckoning of the scar-faced "centurion", the group of thieves began to pick up the guys, ready to come and catch the mail without letters!
"Wait!"
You Wuxin used his strength to sit back the thief who wanted to get up, gnawed a mouthful of mud, and still had a cynical smile on his face: "I am the envoy of Chang'an Jun, and I am ordered by my son to come to see your school captain, and I hope to report it!" “
