Chapter 299: Change

On this occasion, when the undercurrent of Guangzhou City is surging, the forces of all parties are treacherous, far away in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, hundreds of miles away, on Kongtong Mountain, but it is quiet, very peaceful, like the legendary peach blossom source, and the situation in the outside world is very different.

In the past, near Kongtong Mountain, there were rogues everywhere, bandits were rampant, robbing the past merchants, doing the evil things of killing people and goods, within a radius of dozens of miles, it can be said that it is a forbidden place in this area of Ganzhou, and few people visit. Only those who are from other lands, the victims of the disaster who have been displaced here, will pass through this place, and they will not know the dangers of this place.

However, what is surprising is that in the past three months, there have been few people who have been robbed in this area of Kongtong Mountain. It is the early autumn season, those thieves and green forests are dormant, ready to hibernate, Kongtong Mountain is calm and a little weird in a radius of dozens of miles, which makes people can't believe it.

In a trance, this situation has a feeling that the night before the storm is quiet, which makes people feel bottomless and unsure.

Halfway up Kongtong Mountain, in a relatively flat place, a group of people are busy working. The costumes of these men were the same as they were during the Qing Dynasty, but their hairstyles were very different, and none of the men wore braids. There are many such scenes, which abound in Kongtong Mountain and several nearby mountain ranges.

Looking down from the mountain, I came to the place where Yang Lin established the first base, the Kongtong Mountain base, and it was the Kongtong Army headed by Huo Xiong who was stationed. Looking everywhere, except for Yang Lin's soldiers, no one else, whether it was an adult or a child, all the men had flat heads or long hair, and none of them had braids.

In short, the people in the stockade, except for the soldiers who can go down the mountain, if anyone else goes down the mountain, they can easily be arrested by the government and regarded as anti-Qing elements. In any case, for some reason, the average person on the mountain will not go down Kongtong Mountain.

In the whole cottage, there are soldiers patrolling and standing guard, guarding various strategic places and places in and out. Ordinary people, women are weaving, men are building houses, weaving fences, sheep are grazing on the hillside, and the sound of chickens and pigs is constantly singing, which complements the bleating of sheep.

In this era of war, there are swarming rebel armies everywhere, and there is rarely a happy land for the people, a place to recuperate. This area of Kongtong Mountain is definitely a realistic version of the peach blossom source, everyone is sunrise and sunset, no longer panic about the suffering of corrupt officials and cool officials, no longer worry about the attack of bandits.

Unlike the Peach Blossom Spring, all the people in Kongtong Mountain are soldiers, and military drills will be conducted every once in a while. Take up arms, you are a warrior; When it comes to farming, it's the common people.

Therefore, although the establishment of this Kongtong Mountain base area has only been a few months, the sense of unity is very strong, and this hard-won habitat is particularly cherished.

In the hall of righteousness, Zhang San sat aside, and Huo Xiong was pacing back and forth, with a look of bitterness and an idle expression. At a glance, you can know that Huo Xiong is a bold person, a person who can't be trapped in one place, and now is the time when he is very depressed, and he is bored.

"Head Huo, don't walk back and forth like this anymore, it makes my eyes glaze. Come, sit for a while, take a break"

As soon as Zhang San's words ended, Huo Xiong turned around abruptly, looked directly at Zhang San, and asked with some force: "Old Zhang, tell me the truth, are there any bandits or bullies nearby?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang San looked like a bitter gourd face, and said helplessly: "My Grand Master, my Grandpa Huo, you just let it go, be honest for a while, okay?" Look at it, most of the mining in the back mountains were caught by you, and the bandits who cleaned up were also controlled by us. ”

"I don't dare to say anything else, but I dare to guarantee one thing. Within a radius of ten miles, all the bandits of a small scale have been defeated by you, and the security near our Kongtong Mountain is even better than that of the capital, all of which are your credit! Settle down for a while, okay, Uncle Huo?! ”

Speaking of these, Huo Xiong was endlessly proud, and he smiled, exuding the meaning of whole-body health. However, these days, he has always stayed in these mountains, and his range of activities is so large, and he has nothing to do all day long, so anxious that Huo Xiong scratches his head.

At this time, Huo Xiong suddenly patted his head, as if he remembered something, and exclaimed: "Hey, Lao Zhang, we have refined a lot of iron materials recently, and we can almost send them to the young master." Otherwise, I will take a group of people to Guangzhou Mansion and be responsible for sending these things, and the young master of the province will urgently use no iron materials. ”

Zhang San rolled his eyes, revealing a painful expression, he didn't know how many times he had repeated what he said, but he had to repeat it over and over again, looking so helpless.

"Uncle Huo, my ancestor, don't even think about this matter, have you forgotten the division of labor that the young master gave us? Those confessed? You are in charge of the defense of the Kongtong Mountain base area, and I am in charge of the trivial matters of life. As for the transportation of iron, I have already made arrangements, and I will send someone there in the next few days. When the time comes, don't forget to arrange some soldiers to escort this batch of iron materials, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if I agree with you to escort this batch of iron materials to Guangzhou Mansion. However, if the young master sees that it is you who escorts the iron materials, it is estimated that he ...... The result won't be very good~, do you still want to go to Guangzhou Mansion? Dare to see the young master? ”

Hearing Zhang San's profound last words, Huo Xiong suddenly felt a cleverness, and his heart beat a drum, and he really had no bottom.

Huo Xiong also knew that it was impossible for the matter of escorting iron materials to fall on him. As the commander of the Kongtong Army, Yang Lin solemnly instructed him when he left, and he couldn't help but leave this Kongtong Mountain. Therefore, the words just now are purely addictive and just talking.

Seeing the look of disappointment on Huo Xiong's face, Zhang San smiled slightly, a touch of bad intentions flashed away, giving people a sense of mischief, and said meaningfully: "Captain Huo, if you are really too bored and feel that there is nothing to do, you can take our brothers around Kongtong Mountain, take a walk in some small counties, and take a look, just take a break and pass the time." ”

"In this chaotic era, there is no peace anywhere, in some small towns or villages, there will always be some bullies, some bad landlords, people who do evil, maybe you can meet one or two, your old man can punish the evil and promote the good, by the way to earn some silver taels, it is also a robbery of the rich and help the poor!"

Hearing this, Huo Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a crystal light, and he couldn't help but smash his mouth and make a slight thought.

After a while, Huo Xiong regained his previous appearance, looked indifferent, and pretended to be angry and said: "Zhang San, you are very dishonest, this place in Ganzhou is sparsely populated, coupled with the notoriety left by Kongtong Mountain for a long time, there are rampant bandits nearby, there are almost no mountain villages and towns in the vicinity of dozens of miles, the whole ****** is barren land, steep mountains, where do you let me go?" Where to rob the rich and help the poor? ”

Then, without waiting for Zhang San to speak, he waved his sleeves as if he was very angry, turned around and left, leaving a sentence like a child, and walked in a tiger's style.

"This is what you said, within a radius of ten miles, I can walk freely, and do some chivalrous deeds, punish evil and promote good. Well, I'll go out and patrol the neighborhood for the next two days......"

Zhang San was stunned for a while, he didn't react for a while, but his mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were stunned as he watched Yang Lin leave, confused for a while, I don't know what kind of trouble this Huo Tuanchang is making trouble? Knowing that there are few people within a radius of dozens of miles, he still wants to go out? (To be continued.) )
