Madu Mountain to Pingzhou Lulongsai north of Songting Pass about more than 100 li, this is mainly the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, the brigade of men and horses walk very slowly, halfway outside the Great Wall of Dayan Mountain, a valley camped for a night, the next morning, in the middle of the hour, arrived at a tributary of the Luanhe River, a narrow dry river valley stopped.

As a robber, he did not dare to enter the customs at will, otherwise he might be slaughtered by those Tun troops as fat sheep, so the tall fat man ordered everyone to camp here, and he took a dozen or so followers and rode to Songting Pass in Pingzhou.

Zhuang Yi was very excited, rode up a withered hillside, and looked far away to the south, this is the Shendu region of another world, he has been there many times, but he has not stayed for long, and he has no impression.

In the middle of the afternoon, the tall fat man returned, and brought with him more than a hundred sergeants on horseback, who were driving dozens of wagons, on which sacks were piled up. This is obviously because someone was sent to contact before, otherwise the goods would not have come so quickly.

Zhuang Yi looked carefully and curiously, and found that many of these people all had the appearance of Hu people, they were wearing simple and rough leather armor, carrying bows and knives, and dismounted at the other end of the river valley, one of the officers was wearing a gorgeous bright light armor and an iron helmet, obviously the object of the transaction, and strode with a dozen or so personal soldiers.

They drew their swords from their waists, and very rudely opened the packages on the back of the pack horses, and after they had finished reading them, they went to inspect the horses under the guidance of the tall fat man. After a while, he ordered the sergeant to pull the war horses aside, while the tall fat man followed behind with a bitter look on his face, and the two were still entangled in the price.

The deal was successfully completed, and the sergeants drove away with their horses and goods, shouting loudly. Zhuang Yi and the others began to get busy again, loading the pack horses and wagons with food and groceries, and everyone set off again after resting for a while.

As they hurried to the valley where they had rested yesterday, it was still dark, and the men carried out their horses, wagons, and goods in the middle of the camp with torches, and set up twelve dilapidated tents, which were scattered around the quarter.

The tall fat man found a dozen people and arranged a vigil in groups of two in three directions. Zhuang Yi and Bian Wu also became one of them, and what annoyed him even more was that he still kept watch for the second half of the night. The weather in the spring and March in the north is still extremely cold at night, especially in the second half of the night, it is possible to accidentally freeze to death, which is obviously a tall fat man giving them two "small shoes".

"Let me stay in the middle of the night, yes, give a pot ......of wine," Zhuang Yi demanded. In the cold night, and in the wild, drinking alcohol can move the qi and blood without being frozen.

"No alcohol...... You won't borrow a sheepskin jacket from someone else? Why didn't you start as a sentry vigil, you are a newcomer, and you still want others to keep vigil for you? If you want to stay in the cottage to make a living, you have to be honest and abide by the rules. The tall fat man mercilessly refused.

Zhuang Yi was so annoyed that he had to reluctantly return to the camp. When I walked into the tent, more than a dozen men were sitting cross-legged on the felt carpet, surrounded by a small oil lamp, shaking the dice and gambling, and having a lot of fun.

"Go back to your tent, and don't make me sleep, for I will keep vigil tonight." Zhuang Yi said loudly.

"Hey...... Who are you! Naigong loves to stay in this tent, you can control it......" The answer to him was a fellow named Ho Da, wearing a fur hat and shaking the dice.

"Look for death!" Zhuang Yi shouted, and the accumulated anger finally found his mouth. Immediately strode forward, kicked away the crowd, reached out and grabbed the guy's collar, his hands were like a pair of iron tongs, and the eagle grabbed a chicken and lifted it up, and threw it out of the tent with a "whew". and went away like a shadow, taking advantage of the fact that the guy was thrown and couldn't find the south, south, south, north, west, and north, he lifted it up again, and opened the bow left and right with the big ear brackets, and He Da's head was beaten like a drum, swinging from side to side. When he was thrown aside by Zhuang Yi again, he howled miserably.

"You, you...... You are bold! Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly......" Several other men heard the sound and followed, and one of them trembled his lips and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"How...... Do you want to try it too? Zhuang Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

The man shuddered, turned and ran. The others gave him a cold look and turned away.

In the middle of the night, Zhuang Yi was woken up, so he had to put on another sheepskin jacket, bring weapons, and go out of the camp with Bian Wu. There are a few sparse stars scattered in the night sky, half a moon hangs in the sky, and the trees in the mountains in the distance blown by the cold wind are like the sound of waves, and it is peaceful.

"Mr. Li! Our sentry is on the other side of the camp, and the hillside is, look...... They set up a bonfire, and we went to make it. Bian Wu rubbed his eyes and said.

The two vigils were sleeping soundly, and the old man with a shiny saliva flow, Zhuang Yi kicked them awake, and the two ran away immediately.

"This is also called a sentry, those who sleep to death, if there are really bad people, they don't know how to die." Zhuang Yi scoffed.

"There won't be any villains here, near Dayan Mountain, we are all cottages......," Bian Wu said, and Kimono sat by the bonfire, stretching out his hand to bake.

Zhuang Yi also sat down with his hands and knees, looking at the jumping red flames, he was slightly distracted for a while, raised his head for a while, and asked, "Xiao Wu!" Why did you become a bandit? Have you ever thought about going back to your hometown of Hedong? ”

"Who wants to be a bandit? When I was ten years old, I came to Jizhou with my father to make a living, and then my father became the tun army of the Jizhou Xiongwu Army. Three years ago, after my father died of illness, he and An Huaixin from the same village came to the cottage, because Huaixin had a relative in the village. I'm the same everywhere, and when I make a lot of money, I'll go back and buy hundreds of acres of land and live in peace. Bian Wu thought for a moment and replied seriously.

"Boy! That's all you need to do! Do you want to be a big official, do you want to be a general? Zhuang Yi said with a smile.

"Huh? How is this possible, my ancestors are all from small families, and they have never been a big official, I just follow you, Mr., to recognize a few words, know a few numbers, how dare you think of being a big official? ”

"That's not right! You are still a child, you are a good seedling, as long as you follow me and learn to read and write, it will be different in the future. If you want to learn martial arts from me, I can also teach you, and you will definitely become a great official in the future, how about it? Interested? ”

"That's good! But you're my husband, and you're going to apprentice? ”

"Of course...... Those students are different, they don't study hard, and they will definitely lose my face in the future. And you are very sensible and smart, I can teach you all the skills, so you need to formally apprentice. Zhuang Yi teased with a smile.

"Ah...... Shall I worship now? But I didn't have a present! ”

"Haha...... Never mind! You can kowtow three times! Zhuang Yi laughed.

When Bian Wu heard this, his face was full of joy, and he immediately knelt in front of Zhuang Yi, kowtowed respectfully three times, and said loudly: "Sir, please accept the apprentice!" Is that all there is to it? ”

"Alright, alright! Boy, get up! Zhuang Yi laughed.

"Sir! A question suddenly occurred to me, I think you must have been a big official, sir, right? Bian Wu looked at Zhuang Yi curiously and asked.

"I have never been an official, but I have been a big man, that is, to let many, many people follow my orders. In fact, it's almost the same as being a big official. That's right! Don't call me Mr. in the future, you're calling me Master! Master! You know what? Zhuang Yi reached out and touched Bian Wu's head, and smiled evilly

"Oh...... Good! Master! Then you used to be the same person as Zhao Zhai, and we all obeyed his orders! ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Zhao Quanyi! He's just a little minion, I can slap him to death if I want to, he and I are not at the same level at all, and he doesn't deserve to be my opponent. It's just, I want him to die worthwhile, you don't understand......"

"Huh? What is valuable? Although Lord Zhao Zhai is not a good person, he is good to us, why do you want to kill him? Bian Wu's mouth suddenly opened wide, and he looked surprised.

"Is he really nice to you? You are just tools for his murder and robbery, what kind of life does he live, and what about you? You still don't understand...... Forget it, don't talk about it, you'll understand later. I'll sleep for a while, and you'll wake me up later. Zhuang Yi yawned and shook his head.

I also know that this era is a hierarchical society, with strict upper and lower classes, as an upper-class person, living a luxurious life, it is a matter of course, peace of mind, these are not wrong in Bian Wu's opinion. But Zhuang Yi disagrees with it from the bottom of his heart, and he is very unaccustomed to it.

I don't know how long it took, Zhuang Yi fell asleep like this, until he was woken up by Bian Wu's push, and Bian Wu's anxious cry came from his ears: "Mr. ...... Wake up, there's chaos in the camp......"

Zhuang Yi opened his eyes and saw that the sky was almost bright, and there was a dark blue color all around. The people on the other side of the camp shouted and neighed, and hundreds of fierce black knights were holding bright horizontal knives, and the people in the camp were scattered and fled, and the frightened horses were scurrying in all directions. Taken aback, Huo Di jumped up.

"Silly boy! Why don't you wake me up, come with me to kill the enemy, follow behind me, be careful......" Zhuang Yi was taken aback, and pulled Bian Wu and rushed down the hill.
