Pan Wudu's home.

Che Luhui and Mo Hulu stood in the back hall, waiting for Pan Wudu to come out of the inner house. From afar, I heard the voices of men and women laughing and lewd inside, which came intermittently, and it tickled people's hearts.

After a while, Pan Wudu, who had been informed, had unkempt hair, his eyes shook his steps, put on a nightgown, and slowly shook out. Pan Wudu yawned heavily, tightened his belt again, and sat down in the hall.

On the table, the teapot was full, but the lid was not closed. The tea aroma is melodious and melodious, and the smell is refreshing. Pan Wudu was rude, he didn't like to drink hot tea, and he didn't like to drink slowly, so he picked up the teapot and poured a few big sips.

Che Luhui hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Lord, the surname Gao is out of the city." ”

"Oh? Good, good. I almost forgot about it. yes, how did it go? The opportunity is rare, if you go on a business trip, you are negligent and slack, I can't spare you. ”

“…… It has been arranged. ”

Che Lu secretly slandered in his heart. The heart says that you take care of yourself and mess with women all night until dawn, and your spirit is not high, and you even forget about such important things; Instead, I was asked not to be careless, that's what I said.

Mohulu said: "However, after the surname Gao left, Han Yong immediately deployed in the barracks, put the Han barracks and Xinding with weak combat effectiveness in the innermost area, put the veterans under his original command on the periphery, and set up soldiers outside Sanzhang to patrol back and forth, and at the same time ordered that without his orders, no one should change the existing state without authorization. ”

"Hmph. Let him toss, wait for Lao Tzu to get rid of the surname Gao, and then free his hands to concoct him well. Pan Wudu's face was gloomy, he grabbed the teapot and poured a few more sips.

Mohulu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, Han Yong is also a Shen Yi Zhibing. It's a pity that I took refuge in that high mountain. We looked down on him at the beginning, and because he was not a descendant, we often excluded and suppressed him, and now, we let go of a talent for nothing......"

"Bang!"

Pan Wudu put the teapot on the table heavily, lowered his face and said, "Are you blaming Captain Bendu, short-sighted, and ignorant of talents?" ”

Mohulu didn't dare to say anything, and stepped aside.

Pan Wudu saw that Mo Hulu's face was red and white for a while, and he didn't want to embarrass this number one henchman too much, so he snorted and said, "It's nothing." When the surname Gao is removed this time, let's ask him again, if he is willing to submit to me, we will slowly use him; If you don't want to be obedient, then you can't say it, then you have no more talents, and if you don't use them for me, what's the use of keeping them? It's not a pity to kill. ”

Pan Wudu seemed to think of something again, leaned forward, and said, "The horse bandits, what price do you want?" ”

"Sixty taels of gold. Plus twenty more Shu forging. ”

"Fuck! What's the difference between this and robbing? Lao Tzu was poor and wanted to drink urine, and it was easy to have some savings in the past few years, but now he threw out so much, and he saw that he was begging for food again! ”

Pan Wudu grinned in distress, suddenly bounced up from the back of the chair, kept stomping his feet and scolding, he grabbed the teapot and wanted to pour a few sips, but found that he had been emptied, and the roarer asked people to quickly add water, and the maid outside the hall trembled and refilled the water.

Pan Wudu's irritable butt sat down again, the tea had just been added, and it was still relatively hot, so he couldn't drink it for a while. He was depressed, so he stared at the bull's eye, and said angrily: "You can give as much as people want?" Two rammed goods, not their own money, don't feel distressed, and don't save one or two for Lao Tzu! ”

"Lord, what people wanted at the beginning was eighty taels of gold, fifty horses of Shu forging!" Mohulu hurriedly answered. At the beginning, Pan Wudu said that if you should have money, you can withdraw it at will, as long as the big thing is successful; Now that they are starting to compete again, it is really helpless.

Che Lu nodded again and again, smiling in his heart. He and Mohulu actually took a kickback, if there is no oil or water, then what should they do, what is the motivation?

He was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be innocent of being wronged, "Lord, Lao Mo and I have both dried our mouths, and the spittle can be smashed into a pit when it falls on the ground, so I bargained with others, saving twenty taels of gold and thirty pieces of satin." How dare the two of us not think about my lord? ”

"Alas. That's it. Pan Wudu was still distressed, forced himself to be patient, and reluctantly smiled: "As long as things can be done, it is the final result that Lao Tzu wants, make some money, just buy medicine for his mother's horse bandits." ”

He comforted himself in his heart, and said: "You two, you have followed me for many years, you wandered together back then, and we survived together." Whether you have credit or not, I know very well in my heart, you can rest assured, Lao Tzu is a good man, and after the matter is completed, I will not treat you badly. ”

"Serve the Lord!" The two responded in unison.

The early morning winter fog has slowly faded. A few remnant stars are still hanging in the sky, unwilling to disappear. The thin dawn changed from the sky in the distance to a piece of fish belly white, and the sky was almost bright.

The birds began to chirp and had to get up early in the early winter morning to feed in order to fill their bellies and nurse their young. But this chirping sound, in the clear morning, looks vibrant, especially melodious.

Gao Yue, Li Hu and Feng Liang walked side by side on the road, chatting a few words from time to time. After walking through the official road, then turning over a small dirt slope in front of you, and walking through a section of the mountain and forest path, Bailing Village is not far away.

In the distance, the figure of Bailing Mountain was bleak, faint and shallow. It's not as clear as it is after the rain in summer, and it's not as refreshing as it is in spring and autumn, but now it's a little whitish, as if I'm afraid of the cold.

"It's been okay all the way, could it be that we're too worried?" Li Hu strode on the outside of Gao Yue, raised his sleeves, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and spoke.

Gao Yue's eyes were blazing and said: "Fang Cai, we are walking on the official road, it is not good to ambush people, you see, wait for the small dirt slope in front of you, it is a small road, there are big stones, there are trees, I estimate that Pan Wu will start, and nine times out of ten he will choose over there." Let's pay attention. ”

Li Hu straightened his body, looked at it from afar, clutched the handle of the knife tightly, raised his eyebrows and said: "Fuck it, come one, cut one, come ten, cut five pairs!" Feng Liang nodded, his footsteps did not stop, a pair of eyes back and forth, clever and alert.

The three of them fell silent and hurried away. Gao Yue was a superb archer, with excellent eyesight and hearing, and as he let go of his steps, he stared around and caught the slightest strange sound.

After walking a while, the trees on the side of the road gradually increased, and strange rocks were everywhere, some of which were only larger than half a house. Originally, there was a local name here, called the foot of the mountain. In fact, it is an extension of the foot of Bailing Mountain, so the landform is rocky and tree-like.

The three of them climbed over the small dirt slope and walked downhill, a small forest appeared in front of them, the leaves were sparse, and there was still fog in the forest, which was a little faintly hazy, and no matter how strong their eyesight was, they couldn't distinguish the reality in the depths.

And the road under his feet has become narrow and tortuous, and it has become a labyrinthine path, winding through the woods, and there is nothing on the side of the road except for strange rocks towering silently, and it seems more and more quiet.

The three of them slowed their pace, and began to look around as they walked. In this place, Gao Yue didn't walk much, but Li Hu and Feng Liang had walked a lot at the beginning, and they never felt that it was so strange and quiet as it is today.

After walking for more than ten steps, there was a sudden sound of "fluttering and pulling", Feng Liang's heart was slightly frightened, and when he raised his eyes urgently, a cuckoo with a small size fluttered its wings and flew away in a hurry.

Gao Yue suddenly stopped, his eyes like lightning, and he looked ahead. The front was quiet, the light was dim, and the mist was shrouded, and the trees were forested and secluded.

Seeing Gao Yue standing still, his face solemn and his eyes sharp, Li Hu was a little puzzled, but he felt a little nervous and uneasy. He pulled out his waist knife and yelled: "What a sneaky thing, get out!" ”

"Come on. Come. Come ......"

The echo lingered back and forth in the forest, and flocks of birds and finches were startled one after another, floating into the sky.

Feng Liang thought for a while, bent down to pick up the two rocks on the ground, and threw them into the forest one after another with a raised arm, and the sound of the stones rolling among the dead leaves on the ground could be heard in the distance.

The so-called throwing stones to ask for directions, Li Hu understood his intentions. He also picked up a bigger stone, raised his arm and threw it far away, his strength was far greater than Feng Liang, the stone drew a long arc in the air, and plunged into the depths of the mountain forest, and the sound of falling on the ground was already inaudible.

The birds in the woods, more and more, are constantly startled. The slight wind blew, and the mountain mist that lingered in the forest flowed slowly, as if there was an invisible hand, gently unveiling this mysterious light veil.

Until now, there has been no hostility, a gloomy and lonely mountain and forest scene, harmless to people and birds.

Feng Liang observed in silence for a while, felt a little more relaxed, and said softly: "Big brother, there should be no problem here, let's go further?" ”

But Gao Yue's keen instincts told him that there must be something wrong here! He did not open his mouth to answer, but tried his best to calm down, unconsciously squinting his eyes, catching the slightest abnormal movement, but his ears were disturbed by the chirping of birds and birds that kept flying from the trees in the forest, and the Lingtai suddenly lost his sight.

Wrong! Just now the stone fell on the forest ground in front of it, and in the sound of rolling among the fallen leaves, there was another kind of clattering sound, which was the sound of people running quickly and rubbing the soles of their shoes against the fallen leaves!
