Chapter 55: The Descendants of Zhongshan
In the darkness of the night, there was only the light of a campfire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The flames flickered, and the bonfire crackled, reflecting the drunken faces of the fifty or sixty big men next to them even redder.
A big man stood up, holding a pottery bowl in both hands, staggered to a man wearing a tiger skin beast robe, and said respectfully, "Sixth master, junior brother Luo Guang, the ancestor is also a citizen of Zhongshan Kingdom, and later immigrated to Yan Kingdom. The younger brother has always admired the name of Da Ma Tou and came to join the Six Horse Army! Respect the sixth master! Luo Guang said with a deep bow and drank the wine.
The man in the robes of the tiger fur, with a sturdy figure and an iron armor underneath, was sitting on a wooden box, smiling and gesturing to the newcomer in front of him.
In recent years, there have been thousands of people like Luo Guang who have joined the Six Horse Army.
Luo Guang spread his hand and pointed at everyone, and said to the man in the tiger robe, "Sixth master, I, Luo Guang, am also half of the Zhongshan people, and I admire and feel sad for the ancestors of Zhongshan Country to build the country three times and destroy the country three times, I know that Da Ma Tou must have great ambitions, as long as I have a place where I Luo Guang can be used in the future, my neck blood will be splashed, and I Luo Guang will be the first to go!" ”
Everyone drank and cheered, and loudly echoed the loyalty.
Among the Six Horse Army, the descendants of the Chinese mountains were the mainstay, and there were also a lot of displaced people from other countries who joined later, and even some people from small countries such as the Dai State and the Song State were also among them.
Now that the Six Horse Army can grow so strongly, the surrounding defenders of Zhao, Wei, and Wei do not dare to risk damaging their vitality to exterminate the Six Horse Army, precisely because there are a large number of people like Luo Guang.
Thinking of this, the tiger-robed man smiled at Luo Guang and motioned for others to give Luo Guang wine.
A stream of turquoise liquid bubbling from the copper kettle into the bowl is the world-famous "Zhongshan Biqu", Zhongshan people are good at brewing wine, and move the world with the name of Biqu and Moqu.
"Sixth Master, I heard that Da Matou was the viscount of Zhongshan back then?" One of the crowd asked.
A thin man's voice replied, "Not only the viscount, when the Zhao State invaded the Zhongshan Kingdom, Da Ma Tou was still the leading general of the Zhongshan Kingdom. I heard that when tens of thousands of Zhao army dog thieves surrounded Lingshou, the capital of Zhongshan State, the head of the horse was dressed in iron armor, holding a mountain-shaped iron staff, all the hits were broken, all the attacks were trapped, the car was thrown, the people were cast, the ten thousand people were improper, and a bloody road was killed from the Zhao army, when the Zhongshan army retreated, the big horse head was a person behind the palace, which scared the courage of the Zhao army dog thieves, and no one dared to chase after him! ”
With that, the thin man smashed the pottery bowl to the ground, splashed wine, and scolded angrily, "Alas, it's a pity! King Zhao's dog thief is too shameless, when he took advantage of the Qi State to attack the Yan State, he colluded with the King of Qi and sent a large army to attack him, the military strength of Zhongshan State was not comparable to Zhao State, and under the leadership of Zhao General Lian Po, Zhongshan State was quickly captured. We must break King Zhao's dog thief into pieces! ”
There was a bang, and everyone in the heart of the wine also smashed the pottery bowl and scolded angrily.
"Sixth Master, when will Da Ma Tou take us back to Lingshou again?" Luo Guang asked, this question won the hearts of everyone, and attracted a wave of echoes.
The tiger-robed man kept smiling and silent, lying on his back on the wooden box, looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, and the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile.
The big horse head that everyone said was his eldest brother Wuqiu dove, the eldest brother was the first warrior of Zhongshan State, more than ten years ago Zhao destroyed Zhongshan Country in a battle, killing Zhao Guo was chilled.
After the defeat, the eldest brother led the five hundred old troops, occupied the mountains in the Maling area as the king, and gathered the old people who destroyed the country, and now the six horse army men, women and children have developed to nearly 10,000 people, taking advantage of the geographical advantages to firmly entrench themselves in the land of Maling.
In the past few years, various countries have fought wars every year, there have been more exiles, and there have been more newcomers to join the Six Horse Army, but the reputation of the eldest brother back then is still well-known.
The tiger-robed man grabbed the pottery bowl in his hand, drank the bowl of Biqu, and said with a smile, "Zhongshan was destroyed in the Jin State for the first time, Wu Qi's army in the Wei State for the second time, and Lian Po's army in the Zhao State for the third time. At that time, Zhongshan Wucheng was able to build the country by recuperating his strength in the Taihang Mountains, strengthening the army and enriching the people. I believe that as long as we become strong in Maling Mountain, one day, we will be able to lead our clansmen to fight back and restore the Zhongshan Kingdom again! ”
When the people heard this, their morale was greatly boosted, and the shouts and cheers spread throughout the hills.
Naturally, these words were not spoken by the man in the tiger robe himself, and whenever everyone asked this, he took out the teachings of his eldest brother Wu Qiu Gu as they were, and tried them repeatedly.
Chang Yu was lurking in the grass, only twenty paces away from the campfire, and he could hear the conversation of these people clearly.
During the year, whenever the assassination order was executed outside, Chang Yu would use the time when the order was issued to collect as much information as possible.
Because Chang Yu found that the reward objects of the Assassin Gold Order were often all kinds of people, who knew more information about the Warring States than ordinary people, and after several patchwork, he had a more thorough understanding of the world.
As for why and by whom these people were rewarded, he did not care and could not care.
The so-called poor people must have something to hate, everyone can find thousands of reasons for death, and someone is willing to pay for your death, which is already the most valuable reason. What's more, the Assassin Golden Gate never revealed the issuer of the assassination order.
The fall of the Zhongshan Kingdom is not news to Chang Yu, in fact, in one of the assassination orders he carried out last time, he learned that before the destruction of the Zhongshan Kingdom, there were rare treasures hidden in the tomb of the previous king, but this Zhongshan King Mausoleum is extremely hidden, and many people with a heart have been searching for the treasures in the tomb for many years without any clue.
After drinking enough, the man in the tiger robe beckoned to a square-faced man next to him and gave a few orders, and when the square-faced man heard this, a lewd smile appeared in his eyes, and he ran towards the carriage full of goods.
Seven or eight women who had been tied up were lying on the ground, next to the side of the carriage, weeping in low voices.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman was curled up on the ground, her hair was scattered, the light of the fire in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked, and when she looked up, she saw a square-faced man standing in front of her.
"This Nizi looks good, that's her!" The square-faced man said to the person next to him.
"Hehe, the sixth master has finished eating and you still have a share, right?" The man next to him asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, you're indispensable." The square-faced man knew that there was something in the other party's words, and replied with a lewd smile, "Come on, bring this little girl with me and let the sixth master test it." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and bent over to touch the woman on the ground.
When the woman heard this, her face was pale, her tied calves kicked wildly, her body kept rubbing under the carriage, and her mouth whimpered.
"Hehe, Xiao Nizi's figure is not bad, haha!" The square-faced man swallowed and reached out to grab the woman's thigh.
Suddenly!
A figure under the carriage jumped out and flicked lightly on the ground, and a short sword pierced directly through the throat of the square-faced man!
A sinister laugh came from the figure, "Hehe, two taels of silver are in hand!" ”
With a wave of his left hand, another short sword stabbed into the throat of a nearby horse thief.
The horse thief had already turned white from the sudden scene, and instinctively leaned back, and the short sword grazed his throat, leaving only a small wound that could not be fatal.
The thief staggered a few steps, sat down on the ground, and did not want to look twice, and got up and ran towards the campfire.
Suddenly, an arrow shadow flashed, and the horse thief fell directly to the ground, revealing half of the arrow feather on his left temple.
In less than two breaths, the two horse thieves were already dead on the spot.
The black shadow on the ground muttered to himself, "I originally wanted to show my hand, but I let this Peng Gaoyang be in the limelight again, making me very faceless in front of the three younger brothers of the Mao family......
At this time, he had already retracted the two short swords into his waist, glanced back at the frightened woman on the ground, and said with a smile, "It looks good, but it's a pity that it's not the type I like." ”
The woman glanced at the two horse thieves who were dead on the ground, and saw that Zhan Zhi did not seem to have any ill will towards her, and was relieved.
Zhan followed the woman's eyes, glanced at the horse thief in front of him, and then smiled at the woman, "Little sister, do you know how to make a good bait?" ”
When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of Zhan Wei, and the show head tapped it a few times.
"That's good, haha! Help me earn some more money. As he spoke, he dragged the two bodies under the carriage and hid them underneath, and made a boo gesture to the other women, dodging, and hid in the grass next to the carriage.
The women saw the scene of Zhan Zhi killing the two horse thieves, and although they didn't understand what was going on, there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
In less than half an hour, a tall horse thief came from the campfire.
"San'er? What the hell are you doing! The sixth master is urging! The horse thief approached and shouted.
"Huh?" Seeing that there was only a delicate woman on the ground, how could he see the shadow of the square-faced man, he was puzzled, and shouted at the woman on the ground, "Little Nizi, where is the man who just came?" ”
With a look of fear and despair on her face, the woman took a few steps back on the ground, looking at a bush ten paces away.
In the grass, the grass swayed incessantly, and the sound of rapid panting was heard.
"Hehe, San'er, you actually guarded and stole yourself?! Look at me if I don't come to catch rape on the spot! The tall horse thief smirked lewdly into the grass and strode over.
The woman saw the horse thief take two steps in the grass, and suddenly sank into the grass and did not move.
