As he spoke, Zhang Xianzhong's spirit improved a lot, and he groped out a large piece of gold from his arms, handed it to Ma Er and said: "Little brother, if you really take me to a shortcut, this general will have a big reward." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The horse's eyes were full of greed, and he took the gold and put it in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, sir, let's eat enough at our place first." ”

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand, "I can't eat it, it's too late." Let his subordinates collect the things in the house of the father and son of the horse, and said: "Give these foods of yours to the general, who will make military rations." ”

"Okay!" The horse readily agreed, and with the two large pieces of gold in his arms, what kind of dry food and dried meat were outside?

"Commander, please come with me, that secret passage is still a long way from here." The horse led the way to a hidden place.

Later, Zhang Xianzhong and his soldiers, plus Ma'er's father, set off together, and walked for about half an hour until they reached a gap in a mountain.

"This is it." The horse went down in person, and lifted the dry vine grass blocking the gap in the mountain with his hand, revealing a deep hole, "Dashuai, enter from this cave, about five hundred steps, you can cross this canyon, go directly to another path, and then walk along the path for three days, you can reach Dangyang County." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Xianzhong looked at this dark cave, a little drumming in his heart, suspicious, and said: "It's the first time I've been here, I'm afraid I'm getting lost halfway, brother, can you take us there?" ”

"Good!" After receiving Zhang Xianzhong's gold, Ma Er was very talkative, and went down the cave without giving up, and said: "Dashuai follow me, it's a little dark inside, but you can see the light when you turn around the cave." ”

Zhang Xianzhong followed him down the cave, and suddenly felt that it was slippery and difficult to stand in, so he ordered his subordinates to light torches, and saw that there was a small dark stream in the cave, the water was not big, but it was also flowing slowly.

The path of the multitude. It is a path made of slippery stones next to the creek, which may be the reason why it is not walked all year round, and there is a thick layer of wet and smelly bird droppings in it.

After walking two or three hundred steps in the cave, and then making a turn. There was a glimmer of light in front of him.

The farther I went, the brighter it became, and after walking a few hundred steps, I finally came out of this slippery cave and came to another place. It's behind a waterfall on a mountain.

"No wonder?" Zhang Xianzhong said: "No wonder no one found out. The cave was originally hidden behind a waterfall, and the terrain was very high. ”

The platform out of this cave is located halfway up the mountain, and there is a waterfall in front of it, so it is not easy to be discovered.

"Okay, Dashuai, follow this path all the way, there are many people living in front of you, you met and asked. You can get to Dangyang in three days, and if you go fast, you can reach it in two days. ”

The horse pointed to a valley that had been cripped by a creek at the foot of the mountain.

"You're not going with us?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

"No, my father and I have to go back over there, and we will leave after packing up the things over there, and with the gift of the handsome, we won't have to live in the mountains in the future!"

Get back?

That's not going to work.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't allow them to go back, in case they met Zhu Changyuan after they went back, Zhu Changyuan would come along this road again, and a hundred of them would not be enough to kill the goods, okay?

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Little brother." I'm sorry! He made a gesture of raising and dropping his knife towards Liu Wenxiu, and Liu Wenxiu really raised the knife and cut off the horse's head.

"Horses! Horses! ”

For this sudden change, the old father was unexpected, and shouted twice. glared at Zhang Xianzhong angrily, and before he could say a word, his head moved.

"Benefactor, it's not that I, Zhang Xianzhong, am treacherous, it's true, it's true, it's life-threatening." sighed. said to Liu Wenxiu: "Bury the two of him, that's right." He groped for a piece of gold from his bosom and said: "Three pieces of gold to bury together, Ben Shuai is sorry for the innocent person, if he still has the opportunity to come here in the future, come to worship again." ”

After that, the spirit is shaken, go down the mountain, and run away!

+++++++++++

Zhang Xianzhong ran away in advance, but Zhu Changyuan in the mountains was not so lucky to find a shortcut.

Fortunately, with Guo Cheng's subordinate, one made him happy in his heart, so that the journey to catch up with Zhang Xianzhong became much happier in his heart, and second, Guo Cheng is also a local no matter how he says it, although he may not know the big and small roads in the mountains, but the general direction is still clear.

Guo Cheng led the way, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, although the road is also tortuous and difficult, there is finally a place for horses, and once there is a place to stand, they are not afraid, and they can ride horses.

Riding a horse and galloping, the speed is fast, so although the road is farther than Zhang Xianzhong, but in five days, although Zhu Changyuan is difficult, he finally walked out of this big ravine.

Shennongjia, Shennongjia, is worthy of being a mountain!

Zhu Changyuan said with emotion.

However, it has not yet been settled and it has really walked out of the mountains, at most it can be regarded as walking out of the Shennongjia no man's land.

It should be said that Zhu Changyuan is still in the depths of the mountains, but fortunately, he got out of the no-man's land, arrived at the inhabited place, and casually found the name of the local village to ask, only to know that he had come to the upper reaches of the Fuzhang River.

This place belongs to Yuan'an County, and it is still seventy or eighty miles away from Yuan'an County, but since it is in the upper reaches of the Fu River, you can reach Yuan'an as long as you go down the Fu River.

"Let's go!" Losing the news of Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Changyuan's heart was very unhappy, "Go to the county seat of Yuan'an County first, and then inquire where Zhang Xianzhong went?" ”

Although he said so, there was not much hope in his heart, after all, whether Zhang Xianzhong could come out of the mountain or not, even if he was out of the mountain, it was estimated that he would not dare to shout loudly incognito.

led the army all the way to the south, because the army had all the supplies, there was no crime along the way, and some bold villagers even came to talk with Zhu Changyuan's team.

Before he arrived in Yuan'an County, which was more than ten miles away from Yuan'an, Zhu Changyuan discovered a very mysterious phenomenon: many young men gathered together in twos and threes were walking south with their luggage, and some of them were carrying weapons and food.

It's really strange, generally speaking, the ancients relocated to the land and didn't run around at will, even if they were merchants, Nima couldn't have much, right, almost met hundreds of people along the way?

"Hey! This little brother, you stop, I ask you something! Zhu Changyuan dismounted and ran to a young man who was walking south with two rusty knives, and said, "Wait a moment." ”

"General!" The young man gave a military salute and asked, "What is the matter with the adults looking for the villains?" The villain is in a hurry to go to Dangyang County to join the army? ”

Joining the army?

Zhu Changyuan wondered, could it be that there was a war in Jingnan, but it was not like ah, although the people in the south of Huguang were not rich, they could live and work in peace and contentment in the late Ming Dynasty, at least they would not encounter major floods, droughts and locust plagues.

Could it be that Zhang Xianzhong came out? Local government organizes counterinsurgency?

Thinking about it, the possibility is not very large, Zhang Xianzhong came out with dozens of people, and he used to recruit troops to beat him? Joke!

"Dare to ask the little brother, which army are you going to vote for?"

Zhu Changyuan asked very sincerely, but the young man smiled and just didn't answer. If he asks left and right, he doesn't say anything.

I had no choice but to let the man go.

When I looked back and saw a suit of armor on my body and the 200 soldiers around me, I suddenly realized: It is said that the Hubei Yankees are smart, I only saw it today, is the paralyzed person so smart?

Zhu Changyuan himself is wearing a suit of armor, not counting, but also with a troop, that person is probably afraid of saying out and defecting to others and offending himself with no good fruit to eat.

I really didn't believe in this evil, and asked several people in a row, and the results were the same, Zhu Changyuan slapped his thigh and said: Hubei people are fine, no wonder they can mix well.

Chang Yuan walked to Guo Cheng's side and said, "You don't have a military uniform on you, and you are a local, you go down secretly, walk to the side and ask, which army they are defecting to?" ”

"Yes, General!" Guo Cheng secretly got off the horse, walked to the distance and talked with those who joined the army, he didn't know, he was startled when he chatted, and hurried back to report to his boss.

Zhu Changyuan was immediately furious when he heard this: I bought a watch last year and went to Zhu Changyuan? Zhu Changyuan? Zhu Changyuan?

"Who is Zhu Changyuan?" Guo Cheng asked cautiously, seeing that the boss was so angry, he said in his heart, could this guy be the boss's enemy.

Since he followed Zhu Changyuan, he has always shouted "General" or "Divine General". He Zeng knew the name of his boss, so he asked at this time.

Zhu Changyuan was asked by him, spread his hands, and said: "Who else can it be, far away in the sky, close in front of you, Lao Tzu is Zhu Changyuan, like a fake!" ”

"Oh!" Guo Cheng suddenly realized, and then exclaimed: "The general is Zhu Changyuan, doesn't that mean, doesn't it mean that the one who is in Dangyang is recruiting troops in the name of a fake general!" ”

"Yes!"

On the one hand, Zhu Changyuan was secretly happy in his heart, and he was happy to think that he had such a great appeal, and these villagers in the mountains and wilderness all traveled through mountains and rivers after hearing the news of recruitment.

On the one hand, I also secretly hate: that blind dog, god damn, dare to steal grandpa's name to recruit soldiers, other people's grandpa catches you, catches you Lao Tzu chopped you into meat sauce!

"Let's go!" Zhu Changyuan jumped on the horse, waved the mace in his hand, and said: "Brothers, there are thieves pretending to be the name of this general to recruit soldiers in Dangyang City, brothers, work hard, follow me to make a detour to Yuan'an, attack Dangyang City directly, and arrest the guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and cut him with a thousand knives!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

After the soldiers heard the reason, they were also angry, even more angry than Zhu Changyuan.

Why? Because the gang of thieves seems to be pretending to be Zhu Changyuan, but don't forget, the most capable troops under Zhu Changyuan are these 200 people, these 200 legendary cavalry, they went all the way from the Daling River to Sun Moon Island, and the Huang Taiji who fought was in pain, and from Xiangyang to Gucheng, attacked Yun County, and broke the bamboo mountain, Zhang Xianzhong, who was killed, was terrified.

Pretending to be Zhu Changyuan, no, they are pretending to be the honor of the entire army. To be continued.
