Chapter 4 Immortal Mountain (3)
"The only thing I'm worried about right now is Miss Wan'er." Mo Li suddenly felt a little melancholy.
Thinking of the little lady in the carriage, Zhang Ziyun and Meng Ping were silent for a while. Since they reached the mountain, they have been separated, and I don't know what happened to this little lady.
Night.
There was a wolf howl in a certain yard, and Tao Yaoyao, who passed by the yard, stopped, and she was holding a delicate bamboo tube with carved patterns in her hand, and a bamboo pipe stretched out from the bamboo tube and was bitten in her mouth. Hearing this somewhat miserable howl, Tao Yao's lazy eyes drooped a little, let go of the bamboo tube in his mouth, and said to the maid next to him: "Go in and see, what is Zhao Xiangyao crying." ”
The maid hurriedly entered the courtyard and hurried out, "It's the little lady I brought up the day before yesterday, and I hurt the second master." ”
The maid's words were concise, but Tao Xiaoxiao already understood the meaning.
"Let Zhao Xiangyao get out." A little gloom crawled on Taoyao's fair face.
After a while, Zhao Xiangyao ran out, with a painful look on his face, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Boss, what are you calling me for?" ”
"Let that little lady go." The sound of peach blossoms wafted through the ethereal night sky.
"Why?" Zhao Xiangyao had a bitter face, "I haven't even started this yet, this little lady is very powerful!" ”
"I'll get you an aunt another day, get married seriously, and always behave like this, dirty my eyes." Tao Yaoyao took a sip of water from the bamboo tube and said lightly.
Zhao Xiangyao was stunned, and then roared like a child, "I don't have a family!" ”
"Roaring at what?" Tao Yaoyao glanced at Zhao Xiangyao, and her voice became cold, "Then take care of your thing." ”
After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
"You don't need this thing, what's the point of caring about it." Zhao Xiangyao lowered his head and muttered.
Tao Yao didn't look back, "Then chop." ”
Zhao Xiangyao looked at the back of Tao Yaoyao gradually moving away, his eyes turned red, and he roared half-loudly: "Don't chop!" ”
No one paid any attention to him.
Only the maid beside Tao Yaoyao sounded the laughter of silver bells.
Zhao Xiangyao's nose twitched a few times, as if he had been greatly wronged, and then waved his hand to greet people, and said angrily: "Let that girl go to the second master!" ”
"The big boss, the second boss, those birds are making trouble again!" Tao Yaoyao hadn't gone far yet, and a minion ran over, "I said I wanted to see the big boss and the second boss, and I shouted for more than half an hour, so I'm annoying!" ”
"The eldest and second master are also what they want to see?" Zhao Xiangyao's inexplicable anger shifted to this minion's head, "Let them shut up, and chop their hands if they shout again!" ”
"This, it's ......" The minion got the order and turned around to leave.
"Wait." Tao Xiaoxiao turned around and walked over with his long legs, "Go and see." ”
Zhao Xiangyao hurriedly followed.
The room where Zhang Ziyun and the others were held was quite remote, and it was even darker at night, with only a few unaccompanied lanterns lit alone.
"Where did everyone die?" When he arrived at the courtyard, he didn't see the sentry outside the courtyard, and Zhao Xiangyao was angry again.
"They were all here just now." The little minion who reported the news said, and walked out to take a look.
"No need to look for it, they all went back to sleep." In the darkness, several figures appeared from all sides, and it was Zhang Ziyun and the others.
The mountain wind blows, and the robes dance lightly.
Tao Yaoyao's eyes lowered a little.
Zhao Xiangyao was stunned for a moment, walked forward with his back hunched, then rolled up his sleeves, and was furious, "It's all fucking waste, a few living dead can't look at it, they deserve to die." But so what, you think you'll be able to run away with a few minions? Dream on! ”
Mo Li looked at Zhao Xiangyao who was approaching, and smiled calmly, "We didn't want to run." But later, you don't even want to run. ”
Zhao Xiangyao was stunned by Mo Li, then looked up to the sky and laughed, turned back to Tao Yaoyao with a pale face and said: "Boss, I said a long time ago, there are two practitioners here, it's best to pick the tendons and tendons, it's okay for you to say it." But now, let me abolish them for you! ”
As he spoke, the figure flashed, and it was already in front of Mo Li, and grabbed him by the throat. Mo Li hurriedly retreated, and Meng Ping swept at the same time. Zhao Xiangyao sneered, turned his gesture, slapped Meng Ping's leg, and punched him straight to the door. Meng Ping raised his elbow, blocking Zhao Xiangyao's move, and at the same time, he followed with his fist. The two of you come and go, and they fight together in an instant.
Mo Li and Zhang Ziyun forced Tao Yaoyao, who was protected by three or five minions, "Fight quickly, it's not good for us to drag it down." ”
After the two finished speaking, they met a few minions who pounced.
The battle in the field was in full swing, but Tao Xiaoyao still had that lazy look, and the bamboo pipe in his mouth made a "bang" sound. The maid reminded her: "Big boss, the water is dry." ”
Tao Yaoyao handed her the bamboo tube, "Fill it up next time." ”
"Yes." The maid nodded, but said in her heart: Every time I fill it, it is because you drink too much water every day.
Tao Yaoyao raised her head slightly and looked at the middle-aged man who came over, "It seems that you are the opponent sent to me?" So, come on. ”
Zhang Ziyun and Mo Li were very excited when they saw the middle-aged man punching Tao Xiaoxiao. As soon as the expert kung fu made a move, he knew if there was one, and he had thought that this martial artist who had been following General Li all the year round must be extraordinary, but as soon as they saw him make a move, the two immediately realized that they had underestimated him before.
"It's done!" Mo Li wanted to shout.
The army marched into the Immortal Mountain.
Worried about the safety of Mo Li and the others, Li Congjing's army led the army in a hurry all the way, but fortunately, all the cavalry he brought this time did not fall behind.
At the front of the team, side by side with Li Congjing, there was an old man.
"Elder Wang, the envoy doesn't understand you, this army has entered the mountains to suppress bandits, you are a scribe, what are you doing here?" Li Congjing saw that Wang Buqi was bumpy all the way, and he was obviously a little unbearable, so he asked. If Wang Buqi is to show himself, Li Congjing doesn't believe it, because this old man doesn't rely on the old and sell the old on weekdays, but he is very arrogant.
"The heroes of the Immortal Mountain are all brave men, and the subordinate officials are also afraid that under the intensification of contradictions, the generals will kill too much. After all, these people are excellent soldiers. The subordinate presided over the recruitment of troops this time, and he had to come. Wang Buqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Besides, the lower official is also familiar with this immortal mountain, and he can provide some help for the general." ”
Li Congjing thought to himself, if you don't throw yourself down, you have helped me a lot.
However, when he arrived at Immortal Mountain, Li Congjing was still a little shocked.
The place where the fairy mountain stands is naturally on the mountain, and the terrain will not be bad, but at the foot of the mountain, it is a peaceful and busy scene.
A small river flows quietly from a distance, the water of the river is clear, and in this flat place washes out a large area of fertile land, and another stream joins the small river from the other side, which makes this place an extremely rare small alluvial plain, which is thousands of acres at a cursory glance. The farmland is full of crops that are growing well, the farmers are busy, and there are children coming and going, and chickens and dogs smell each other. In the small village, smoke curls from the cooking.
The small bridge and flowing water are like a paradise.
"The rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and not only that, but it's also very well protected, and the people live and work in peace. Big brother, it seems that the bandits of this Immortal Mountain are not useless! Li Shaocheng looked at the prospect in front of him, and his eyes were rarely soft.
"You're right." Li Congjing said, "Elder Wang's words are not all about me. ”
Li Congjing and Li Shaocheng became brothers according to the previous agreement after the Qimen Dading, and Li Shaocheng called Li Congjing "big brother" - although he was actually older than Li Congjing.
"Elder Wang, you said earlier that you are quite familiar with the Immortal Mountain, what is there to teach the envoy now?" Li Congjing put away his thoughts and asked Wang Buqi beside him.
However, Wang Buqi was already looking at the paradise in front of him, in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Congjing shouted several times in a row, and Wang Buqi came back to his senses, "Don't blame the general for a momentary gaffe." ”
Li Congjing smiled and said no more, only saying in his heart that the scene of "peaceful and prosperous" in front of him aroused some feelings of this scholar.
An avenue is at the foot of Li Congjing, passing through farmland to the foot of a mountain opposite.
The melodious bell rang in the mountains, and the peasants in the fields heard the sound and pulled out of the fields and rushed back to the village. Their village was built at the foot of the mountain, with a wall outside, an arrow tower and other fortifications, and the hill where the Shenxian Mountain Cottage is located, which is integrated.
A group of men and horses rushed down from the mountain and entered the village.
In the blink of an eye, the houses were closed.
The figure swayed, the fortifications were stuffed with the corresponding manpower, and on the arrow tower, the archer's arrow was wound.
The horses were carried outside the gate of the village and stood on either side of the only avenue.
A team of uniformly dressed men and horses did not hurry or slow out of the village.
The flag flutters, and the sword is sharp.
The leader rode a purple coat, brown tight-fitting leather armor, carried a horizontal knife at his waist, held a long lance, and his long hair fluttered.
She rode her horse down the dirt avenue, unable to see her expression.
The Hundred Battles Army asked whether to form an offensive formation, Li Congjing remained motionless, as if thinking about something, and then slapped his horse forward.
The two horsemen broke away from their respective horses and marched in the opposite direction.
The river wind pressed the heads of the crops.
He saw her cold and delicate countenance, with an eye patch, and her long hair was lightly raised, languid and wild.
She saw that his eyebrows were calm and his expression was not moving, but there was a sharp aura on his body that could not be concealed.
The two stopped five paces apart.
"You're going to attack the village?" Tao Yaoyao's lips opened lightly, and her eyes were unusually sharp.
An easy-going smile hooked up at the corner of Li Congjing's mouth, "I'll redeem people." ”
"What ransom?" Tao Yaoyao frowned lightly.
"Six hundred and hundred soldiers." Li Congjing said.
Tao Yaoyao's eyelids pulled down, "It turns out that you want to rob people." ”
"Ransom and rob, it's the same." Li Congjing said.
Tao Yaoyao tilted her head slightly, looked at Li Congjing, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a slight arc, "It seems that you and I have no choice?" ”
"There is only war." Li Congjing said.
"Come on, then!" Tao said.
The two turned their horses' heads around and returned to their subordinate positions.
From beginning to end, he didn't ask what happened to Zhang Ziyun and the others.
She didn't say anything, why do you want to trouble the Immortal Mountain.
In this world, the king is defeated and defeated. The winner lives, and the loser dies. It doesn't matter who you are, whether you're a man or a woman.
