Out of professional habits, Chu Tianya fell to the ground, Xiao Fei immediately hid in the tree, Xiao Linglong dodged like a spirit fox, and Ada and Anu were dead in front of Xiao Linglong. Anu danced wildly with his fists, clanging down countless arrows - it turned out that he had already put on an elbow-length iron fist on his hand!

After a round of arrow rain, one hundred and eighty people poured out from all directions, all with bows and crossbows, swords and spears, and some of them shouted: "It must be the spies of Qingyun Castle, take it!" ”

Chu Tianya was lucky not to be injured, and at this time he got up from the ground and said loudly: "Don't misunderstand, all heroes!" I am the life and death brother of the second brother of Ma Kuoma, and I am here to find him! ”

"Second Brother Ma's brother, how could he sneakily come here at this time? Don't listen to his blackmail! ”

When Chu Tianya heard this, he had a bottom in his heart: at least the other party knew about Ma Kuo!

"If you don't believe it, you can take us to see Second Brother Ma!" Chu Tianya said loudly, "We promise not to resist!" ”

Everyone discussed the letter suspiciously for a while, and two tall men approached with knives, looked at Chu Tianya and the others carefully for a while, and said: "For the sake of safety, I have to tie you up first, and then I can take you to see Second Brother Ma!" ”

"Okay, do it, tie it up!" Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, and said to Xiao Linglong, "I have to temporarily entrust the three of them." ”

Xiao Linglong and the others didn't say much, and the four of them were tied up by these thieves and escorted forward. Xiao Fei hid in the tree, frightened, and didn't dare to come out. It wasn't until the group was completely far away that he cautiously slipped down the tree, found a secluded path and ran towards Qingyun Castle like crazy.

The thieves sent more than a dozen or twenty people to escort Chu Tianya and the other four people all the way. After walking about seven or eight miles down a hillside, the terrain was suddenly flat and cheerful, and in the night, you could vaguely see a city in front of you, like a giant beast lying prone in this deep mountain and old forest.

At this moment, the fires around the city are dazzling and shouting to kill the sky, and it is indeed a man and a horse attacking the city. Because it was two or three miles away, Chu Tianya couldn't see it too clearly. But the situation in front of him was clear at a glance -- in the makeshift stockade, thousands of people stood neatly, all armed with swords and guns, just like a regular army!

When Chu Tianya and the others were escorted in, these thieves all stared at them coldly and ferociously. Especially looking at Xiao Linglong, a stunning beauty, no one swallowed saliva without green eyes. But it can be seen that their rules are quite strict, all of them are standing honestly, and no one comes forward to tease them.

"When I arrived, this is the camp of Second Brother Ma. Wait until you confess to your face, and see if you still dare to blackmail! The thieves pushed Chu Tianya and a few people to a tent, and someone went in to report.

When he arrived here, Chu Tianya was relieved - since Ma Kuo was here, what else was he afraid of!

Xiao Linglong stood next to Chu Tianya, and then said in a low voice: "I took a look when I first came, and many of these thieves are indeed Khitans. ”

"Oh, can you see that?" Chu Tianya was surprised.

"You can't, I can." Xiao Linglong said, "After the fall of my Great Liao Kingdom, the former army and people fled in all directions. Taiyuan was originally adjacent to the Liao's Shanhou Kyushu, especially Lingqiu, Flying Fox and other places, and the people of the two countries have always privately negotiated with each other frequently. I dare to assert that after the fall of the Great Liao, many Khitans fled from the Flying Fox Pass to the south. ”

"I know the name of the Flying Fox Gukou. This is the only way to the north of the land of Jinbei, there is a famous natural danger called 'flying fox inverted horse',. Chu Tianya said curiously, "You seem to be very familiar with these places?" ”

Xiao Linglong paused and said, "I haven't been here, but I've heard a lot of rumors about this place. ”

At this time, Ada interjected in a low voice, "Our master's title is 'Flying Fox County Lord', and nominally there is also the master's fiefdom in Flying Fox County. However, it belongs to the Song Realm, so it is just a false name. ”

"Lord Flying Fox?" Chu Tianya couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Feihu? ”

Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya angrily, "What's so funny about this?" - But that's what people used to call me. ”

After the two chatted for a few words, two thieves came forward to reprimand them, so that they could not talk to each other.

At this moment, Ma Kuo strode out of the tent and shouted happily, "Brother Chu? Is my Chu brother here?! ”

"Second Brother Ma, it's the little brother!" Chu Tianya replied loudly.

"Haha! It's really my Chu brother! Ma Kuo was overjoyed and rushed over, and shouted from afar, "Bastard, don't let go of your ties?!" ”

The thieves hurriedly untied Chu Tianya and the others. Ma Kuo stepped forward and shook Chu Tianya's shoulder in surprise, "It's really you, good brother!" But I miss my brother! ”

"Yes, Second Brother Ma, it's the younger brother!" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "I'm here to introduce Second Brother Ma - this is Xiao Linglong Xiao Woman of Taihang Seven Star Mountain, and she is one of our fellow practitioners." The other two are his servants, Ada and Anu! ”

Ma Kuo glanced at Xiao Linglong and the others, and couldn't help but show surprise on his face, "What a heroic and stunning woman!" - Xiao Nuxia, Ma is disrespectful! ”

"Don't dare to be." Xiao Linglong indifferently cupped her fists and saluted back.

"Tell the story!" Ma Kuo grabbed Chu Tianya's wrist and said to Xiao Linglong, "Xiao Nuxia, please!" ”

When the group entered the tent, Ma Kuo hurriedly sent his little minions to present wine and meat, and said with a smile: "This poor mountain and remote army is marching outside, and there is really nothing to entertain. Brother Chu, Xiao Nuxia, I'm sorry! ”

"Second Brother Ma, we don't have to be so polite ourselves. The younger brother is not here to eat. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Little brother is here for a big thing!" ”

"Hey, if you don't say it, I know it." Ma Kuo patted his thigh a little annoyed, "But is it because we are besieging Qingyun Castle right now?" ”

Chu Tianya nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw that there were several bandit subordinates next to him, he stopped. Ma Kuan understood, so he blasted these people out.

"Brother Chu, I'm also very embarrassed." Ma Kuo said, "When I first came to Cha Dao, I didn't have a letter, and I couldn't say anything in the monk's cave. Fortunately, I used to be a capital eunuch and I was a bit of a background, and I had some ability to lead soldiers, so the owner of the village treated me differently - speaking of which, Ma really wants to thank the big owner of Qixing Village! ”

After that, Ma Kuo hugged his fists and bowed to Xiao Linglong, "If it weren't for the strength of the lord of your village, Ma would probably be in a dilemma and die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Second Brother Ma is too polite." Xiao Linglong replied, "If they are both anti-gold righteous people, they should be as close as family members." It's just that I don't know, why did Second Brother Ma bring troops to attack Qingyun Fort again? At this important juncture, how can our own people have internal friction? ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Ma Kuo sighed and said, "But I really can't stop it. Even if I don't bring troops, it will be someone else-Brother Chu, and after I joined the Monk Cave, the lord of Zhang Zhai and the leaders asked me to accept the name first, show some skills to show them, and give me a chair to sit on. In desperation, I had to obey the orders of the owner of Zhang Zhai, and brought hundreds of minions to level the two or three small villages under Qingyun Castle. Originally, I thought that this matter would be over, and I could also talk to Zhang Zhai about the anti-gold matter. Unexpectedly, it's okay if I don't say it, but I ...... He is determined to take Qingyun Castle in a short time! ”

Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Could it be that the master of Zhang Zhai is worried that after the Jin people go south, his own cottage will not be able to resist the Jin soldiers, so he wants to snatch Qingyun Castle as a barrier?" ”

"Brother Chu is smart, that's exactly what he means." Ma Kuo slapped his thigh a few times in a row, and shook his head in annoyance, "Blame me, blame me!" It's because I'm too stupid and not good at talking, not only did I fail to persuade Zhang Zhai to make peace with Qingyunbao, but I also took the initiative to provoke a fight between the two parties! ”

Chu Tianya's expression became more and more solemn, "According to this...... That Zhang Zhai master doesn't have the heart to resist gold? When the catastrophe was approaching, the first thing he thought of was not to abandon his previous suspicions and unite to fight against gold, but to find a strong turtle shell for himself first, and protect himself first? ”

"That's what he said," Ma Kuo said, "the enemy is at present, and he must first pacify the surrounding areas, so that he can unify the order and work together to fight against Jin." He said that it was necessary to destroy Qingyun Fort before the Jin soldiers went south and unify the eighteen villages in Xishan. At that time, all the people of the eighteen villages obeyed his orders, so as to avoid the failure of the orders and the excessive command. ”

"That's a high-sounding ......" Chu Tianya's brows furrowed deeply, and he said in a low voice, "Second Brother Ma, in your opinion, what kind of person is this Zhang Zhai master?" ”

"This ......," Ma Kuo shook his head in embarrassment, "I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know him very well, so it's really hard to say." On the surface, this person is very bold and righteous, otherwise the people in the monk cave would not obey him. But I always felt ...... This person's mind is a little wrong! ”

"After all, it's a green forest bandit who kills people and sets fires, where can the mental art go?" Chu Tianya said in a low voice, "Second Brother Ma, you only said, is it possible for him to resist Jin and save the country?" ”

"Hard to say!" Ma Kuo shook his head with a solemn expression, "The first thing in his heart is to recapture Qingyun Castle and avenge blood hatred." I can't see anything else. This person is quite a bit of a city government and scheming. ”

"That's going to be difficult...... Chu Tianya muttered, and at this time, the shouting and killing sound from Qingyun Castle became more and more tragic.

Chu Tianya was excited, and hurriedly said: "Second Brother Ma, you quickly withdraw the people first!" ”

Ma Kuo was taken aback, frowned in embarrassment, and said: "Although I am in command and use troops, I am only acting on the orders of the lord of Zhang Zhai, and I am just a puppet responsible for the deployment of troops and arranging tactics, and my subordinates have no real power. This time, I will join me on the expedition and actually take power, and there are more than a dozen large and small leaders. If I withdraw my troops, they will be angry and suspicious! ”

"Don't worry about it so much, if we delay for a moment, we will have to die a lot more, and the hatred between the Monk Cave and Qingyun Castle will deepen a little!" Chu Tianya hurriedly said, "My trip is specifically for mediating the two families to strike and rest!" The owner of Qingyun Village has a friendship with me! On his side, I'll say it myself! ”

"So that's it?" Ma Kuo gritted his teeth, "Okay, then I'll give the order, stop fighting for the time being!" Even if the owner of the village blames tomorrow, I will be scolded at most, which is better than sacrificing many lives in vain! ”

"Not really!"

Ma Kuo no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops!

This gang of bandits is not an ordinary grass bandit who robs homes and houses and fights petty troubles, and in today's words, they still practice "militarized" management. Zhai advocated that One-Eyed call himself "Marshal", and also named himself "Champion Shuai". The rules in the village are strict, like an army. In less than a moment, Ma Kuo ordered the people to sing the golden soldiers, and sure enough, the shouting and killing sound weakened a lot, and the monks and horses who were besieging the city withdrew one after another.
