"Whew!"

Suddenly, Brigadier Zhang shook off the three-edged stab.

"Poof!"

There was a strange sound in the woods next to it.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yinghan asked in surprise.

"Over the mountain." Zhang Zhun replied indifferently.

The mountain peak is also called the king cobra, is one of the most venomous snakes in the mountains, good at ambushing humans, and the snake body has a hidden color, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, especially at such a night. If you are bitten by a mountain peak, within half an hour, if there is no special medicine, you will be killed. This mountain peak tried to attack Zhang Zhun, but unfortunately Zhang Zhun's hearing was really good, and he noticed its existence early in the morning, so he attacked first and killed it.

Of course, Yang Yinghan understood what the three words Guo Shanfeng meant, and couldn't help but turn pale, and said a little nervously: "That's ...... Shall we go again during the day? ”

Zhang Zhun said proudly: "Don't panic! I'm going to open the way! ”

In the past, the three-edged thorns were pulled out again, wiped clean on the leaves, and then the snake gall was picked out with a waist knife and placed in a special bamboo tube. The bamboo tube contains spirits. The snake gall of the poisonous snake is very precious, and Zhang Zhun naturally can't waste it. An old man like Yang Kaide eats a snake gallbladder from time to time, which is very good for the body. Once you've packed up, lead the way in front.

Yang Yinghan cautiously followed him.

Along the way, it is true that poisonous snakes and poisonous insects appear from time to time. Zhang Zhun killed a total of two mountain peaks, a three-step jump, a silver snake, and a barramundi pit viper, a bamboo leaf green, and a soldering iron head. If you put all the dead snakes together, you could open a snake exhibition. All the poisonous snakes that were killed, without exception, were dug up and packed in spirits.

It took Zhang Zhun a lot of effort to clean up these poisonous snakes, and when the two came to Taohuayu, the sky was completely dark. Fortunately, when the two of them went out, they had already prepared torches. At this time, light the torch and look around for suitable herbs. It was indeed a bit troublesome to collect medicine at night, but time was precious, so they had to do it.

Fortunately, the herbs in Taohuayu are quite abundant, probably protected by those poisonous snakes, and the medicine pickers cannot come here. Panax notoginseng, Rhododendron notoginseng, Nine Anti-Sheng, Dendrobium Chinensis, Bei Axixin, Sijiqing, Banlan Root, Yanhusuo and other common Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment of bruises, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving, soothing muscles and invigorating blood can be easily found here. Therefore, even though it was already night and the light was not good, the two of them still picked enough herbs.

Looking at the stars in the sky, it was estimated that it might be too late, and the two returned the same way. Because they had picked enough herbs, both of them were in a good mood. is alone again, and the subtle feelings quietly linger in the hearts of the two. The two of them, who had been tired all day, didn't feel tired at all.

In mid-February, the moon is round and the moonlight is nice, illuminating the mountain paths. The two extinguished their torches and walked briskly in the moonlight. Because of the obstruction of poisonous snakes, Zhang Zhun was still very vigilant when he walked, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhun made a gesture, and the two squatted down quickly.

Yang Yinghan thought that he had encountered a poisonous snake again, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zhun did not attack, but quietly listened to the movements around him. Yang Yinghan listened attentively, and also heard a clanging sound in the distance, and didn't know what he was doing. Only when Zhang Zhun heard it, he knew that it was sent by the impact of the weapon.

Could it be that there was a fight in the vicinity?

"Hide here, don't move."

Zhang Zhun said in a low voice.

Yang Yinghan obediently hid in the dark behind him.

Zhang Zhun tiptoed forward two steps, looked outside, and found that there were two groups of people in front of him, who were fighting fiercely. Weapons collided with each other, and all kinds of sounds were heard endlessly.

The place where the two groups of people fought happened to be a valley, with only two exits from the north and south. If I didn't guess wrong, it should be the group of people in the middle of the valley, who were ambushed by another group of people, and there were already more than twenty corpses lying on the ground. But around the clearing, there were thirty or forty people. Even though the moonlight was very nice, they still lit a lot of torches. The glow of the blazing fire lit up the entire clearing.

Looking at their appearance, they should all be salt lords, and they are the same kind of people as Lei Laosan.

In the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone's life was not easy, selling illegal salt to make money quickly, and the profits were huge, and many people took risks and joined the ranks without hesitation. However, it is precisely because the money comes quickly and the profits are huge, so the competition is also very fierce. It is normal to disagree with each other and draw swords against each other. Otherwise, the herbs for treating bruises in the pharmacy would not have sold so well. If there is no salt lord fighting one day, it will feel wrong.

However, what surprised Zhang Zhun was that the besieged salt lord was actually a woman. What the salt lord does is a headless business, licking blood from the knife, murderous and ruthless, it stands to reason that women should never appear in this industry. However, what Zhang Zhun saw was clearly a woman. Moreover, the surrounding salt lords protected her in the middle, and at a glance she knew that she was the big leader of the salt lords.

The moonlight in the sky and the fire on the ground reflected the surroundings of the open space as if it were day, and Zhang Zhun could see everything about that woman very clearly. She was wrapped in a black fur coat, unable to see her figure. However, this woman is pretty, long, and her clothes are so expensive, she is obviously not an ordinary woman.

In terms of appearance alone, this woman is not under Yang Yinghan. Her eyes were very bright, and they were especially evident in the beating firelight. Compared with Yang Yinghan, she also has a little more charming, mature, delicate, and mysterious taste, which has a certain temptation for a psychologically mature man like Zhang Zhun.

Could it be that the people around her covet her beauty?

The salt barons who besieged her all had torches in their hands, and the constantly beating flames shook on the cheeks of the female salt baron. At this time, Zhang Zhun could see more clearly, wearing a dark green jade earring in the woman's left ear. But her right ear doesn't have any ornaments. The woman who only wears one earring is indeed a bit abrupt.

The situation was obviously very bad for the female salt lord, and most of her entourage had fallen, and now there were less than twenty people left. However, around her, there were at least forty enemies. What made Zhang Zhun feel a little admired was that despite such an unfavorable situation, the female salt lord was quite calm, she didn't look panicked at all, and there was no panicked look on her pretty cheeks.

Since it was the salt lord infighting, Zhang Zhun didn't bother to intervene, he quietly turned back.

In the situation outside, that woman is obviously out of absolute inferiority, and in less than half an hour, all the people around her will be wiped out, and she herself should not be able to escape. When the battle is over, the two can go back the way they came.

Yang Yinghan asked in a low voice, "Who is fighting with whom?" ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "The two groups of salt lords are fighting. ”

said, the outside situation, briefly said, but did not mention the woman.

Yang Yinghan didn't pay attention, and squatted silently behind him, waiting for the salt lords to end the fight.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a scream came.

It was the woman's scream.

Yang Yinghan's sympathy immediately overflowed, and he asked in surprise: "Is there a woman caught by the salt owl?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "It's not captured, the besieged salt lord is a woman." ”

Yang Yinghan immediately said: "Then you save her." ”

Zhang Zhun said disapprehantly: "Save her? She's a female salt lord, and she's still a leader! ”

Yang Yinghan said in a low voice: "She is a woman after all!" If there is no way, which woman would want to come out and be a salt lord? Besides, she doesn't have to be a bad person! If she is a bad person, how can she be besieged by others? ”

Zhang Zhun was silent.

I believe that only she can have such reasoning.

Yang Yinghan is kind-hearted and innocent, this is beyond doubt, otherwise, it would not be so simple to judge who is right and who is wrong. However, her words are not completely unreasonable, if there is no way, there should be no woman who wants to be the leader of the salt lords, after all, this is the absolute realm of men, and it is very, very, very dangerous for a woman to step in.

The reason why he didn't make the first move was because he didn't want to get involved in the battle in the salt lord, which was a battle in another realm, and it had nothing to do with his goal. However, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to sit back and watch a woman being killed under his nose, especially since Yang Yinghan has already made a request.

As for interfering in the battle between the salt lords, which might bring trouble to Yang Jiatun, Zhang Zhun was not worried at all - was he still in less trouble?

"You stay, I'll save her."

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

Yang Yinghan immediately hid back in the darkness.

Zhang Zhun took a slight breath, pulled out the three-edged thorn, and tiptoed his ex-husband over.

The salt barons besieging outside are still relatively tightly guarded, and there are salt barons every five zhang. It's just that no matter how strict their vigilance is, in front of Zhang Zhun, a real master of the Marine Corps, it will naturally have no effect at all.

Zhang Zhun quietly appeared in a dark corner where neither the moonlight nor the firelight could shine.

In front of him was a salt lord with a torch.

"Whew!"

The triangular thorn pierced the salt owl's chest almost silently.

The salt lord was killed instantly.

Zhang Zhun covered his mouth to prevent him from making any noise, and at the same time reached out and gently took the torch and stuck it on the ground, continuing to keep the fire lit.

Then, the corpse was quietly dragged into the jungle behind.

Then, slowly lurk in the darkness behind the second salt owl.

"Whew!"

The second ......

"Whew!"

Third ......

The salt lord who besieged the woman did not expect that someone would come to make trouble at this time. Their attention was focused on the middle of the valley. In fact, they have become accustomed to the idea that even if someone passes by occasionally, they will hide far away. The salt lords are fighting, who will come up to join in the fun? Feel like you're dying fast enough?

But in the world, there are people who are willing to meddle in things!
