Chapter 20 The mountain rain is coming

Wuyin is a county at the junction of Nanyang and Runan County, and there is Biyang in the north, but Zhao Yun did not detour to the south this time.

In the folk, there have been many stories of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, who fought against Chu in Wuyin during the Qin and Han dynasties.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, two years after the first two years, Emperor Liu Xuanyi enshrined Li Yi, a meritorious general who had made a crusade against Wang Mang, as the king of Wuyin, and he ate thousands of households.

During the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuyu enshrined Cen Peng, the general of the Southern Army, as the Marquis of Wuyin.

During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Nanyang County Taishou summoned Xinchen to Wuyin to inspect and organize the construction of the Ma Renpi Water Conservancy Project here.

This county Taishou, who regards the people as children, attaches great importance to prosperity and prosperity, shares weal and woe with the people, is deeply loved by the people, and is respected as a summoning father by the people of Wuyin.

Later generations will be more than 100 years later in the Eastern Han Dynasty Jianwu period another Nanyang County Taishou Du poem, the people respect him as Du mother, and together, collectively called Zhao Father Du Mother.

As a result, the parent official became the honorific title of the people to the state and county officials in the old days, and the original source came from Wuyin.

This is the first county governance after Runan County out of Funiu Mountain, located in a military fortress, since ancient times for the soldiers to fight for the place.

The current Wuyin City, with a radius of about two square kilometers, is surrounded by high walls and deep walls, impregnable, only two city gates in the east and west, and no moat.

The bandits in the surrounding mountains are rampant, and the people are fierce, and there is no strong city.

At this time, a man wearing a hat with a difficult face rode into the east gate on a donkey.

"One money!" There were two guards at the gate of the city, and the spears in their hands were a little rusty, and when the short man spoke, the tall man next to him couldn't help but froze.

In his senses, this veteran usually has a high throat and a big voice, shouting five and drinking, talking seven and eight, and repeating verbosity.

At this moment, the language is concise, and he stares at the distant mountains without squinting.

The hat man was silent, dug in his sleeve for a long time, and finally found a silver bean and threw it over.

The short man took it respectfully.

"I haven't looked for your money yet!" He flickered in the basket in front of him.

"I'm not looking for it!" The hat-bearer walked very fast, and all he could see was the short tail of the donkey dangling back and forth.

"Brother Tiezi, why are you so behaving today?" The tall man admired it too much, so he hurried to learn from it.

"Let's learn a little," the short man squinted, "If it weren't for the fact that your cousin Da Niu and I have a good relationship, I would never say anything to ordinary people." ”

"Brother Tiezi is right, I'm going to have a treat at night." The tall man is also very clever: "Just go to Yan Zhao flavor, eh, the Shi Laohan noodle restaurant on the left." ”

"In our business, you must pay attention to your identity." Brother Tiezi didn't care about the quality of the hotel, and opened the conversation.

"On weekdays, when those mountain people enter the city, it's just a melon and melon side dish. It's difficult, and you don't have to buy food for the next day or even days. We are their heavens. ”

"When you see mules and horses entering the city, no one dares to return the mouth if you open your mouth for ten dollars. A load plus two dollars, you can also get some vegetables. ”

"The one just now is not a good match at first glance, either rich or powerful."

"You see, do things according to the rules, won't I make money?"

As he spoke, he tucked the silver beans into his sleeve without missing a trace.

Before he could continue to speak, a horse staggered over, and the rider struck the horse at the gate of the city.

"One money!" The tall man was anxious and shouted at the back of the man on horseback.

The other party didn't look back at all, and continued to run wildly through the street.

"Hey!" Before the tall man's mouth could say anything, he was covered by Brother Tiezi.

"You want to die?" He rebuked in a low voice: "His father is a horse archer, our immediate boss. ”

"Remember, don't provoke a rider, whether it's a good horse or a colt. Horses can easily cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which is not something we can provoke. ”

Zhang Gouwa's face changed color, my obedient, God is pitiful, he has grown so big, he has never even seen a thousand dollars.

Don't look at the small place of Wuyin, Yanzhao flavor also has a store, of course, the scale is certainly not as large as some county towns, but it is a unique building in the local area.

If you have been to many places and consumed in Yanzhao flavor everywhere, then you will find that the name of the private room is different.

In ordinary cities, the names start with the desolation of the Xuanhuang universe of heaven and earth, and the big deal is Tianzi No. 1 and No. 2, and so on.

In Gangneung, a gathering place of literati and ink writers, it was changed to a more elegant pavilion.

In the capital Luoyang, it is inclusive, elegant and vulgar, and the two ways of calling are parallel.

At noon, the hotel is at its busiest, and the guests are overcrowded. Then. The donkey-rider arrived.

In the rainy season, it is normal to wear a hat and a robe, and no one cares about him.

The man went straight to the counter: "Take me to the No. 1 room of Tianzi!" ”

Before the shopkeeper could speak, a small second urn next to him, five big and three thick, said angrily: "Sir, please come with me!" ”

Tianzi No. 1 is located on the far left of the third floor, and by the window, the entire county town can be seen at a glance.

There was a strong man in the room who was feasting, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the man in the hat entering, and continued to eat and drink.

The man took off his hat, opened the door again, and looked left and right alertly, and a female waitress not far away bowed and saluted: "What does Mr. need?" ”

"If we don't tell us, don't let people disturb us!" The hated man waved his hand.

Closing the door, we can see his face clearly, with fair skin, raised eyebrows, and between the two eyebrows, there is a visible scar.

The strong man took a sip of soup with satisfaction, sighed, took out an idle chopstick, broke it, and got a bamboo stick to pick his teeth.

"I said, surnamed Yuan, are you tired!" He spat and spat and damaged his gums when he picked his teeth, and there were blood streaks in the saliva.

"Every time we meet, it's mysterious," he cynically pointed to the remaining scraps, "let's eat something first." ”

Seeing Scar, he didn't think he was embarrassed, and picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start.

"Don't!" The strong man stopped: "I'm kidding you!" Wuyin is my old territory, and I will call two more signature dishes to catch the wind for you, so as not to be called stingy. ”

"Not necessarily!" Scar had already filled a bowl of rice, scooped a few spoonfuls of soup with a wooden spoon, and ate it, and his speech was slurred.

The strong man's eyes flashed, and he instantly returned to the state of a reckless man.

Scar ate quickly, and in a few moments, four bowls of rice were served with some soup.

"Tell me, what's the big business this time?" The strong man was dissatisfied: "Last time your information was wrong, we had to fold several brothers to take it." ”

"Over the mountain wind, if you say that, you are not a son of man." Scar hiccups comfortably: "Last time, we were only responsible for providing information, and we didn't charge a penny. ”

"Why?" Guo Shanfeng's eyes glared: "Those are all brothers who fought with their lives, you don't say that we will do that business as well." ”

He is the largest village owner in Funiu Mountain, and even if he doesn't go out on weekdays, other cottages will be offered when they have a harvest.

Yuzhou is prosperous, Jingzhou is rich, and there are many merchants who cross Funiu Mountain to do business between the two places.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and the Green Forest Army passed through here, and later fought bloodily, and Emperor Guangwu successfully ascended the throne.

Naturally, he wanted to exterminate the opposition faction, and the Green Forest Army, which had fought together together, was also wiped out and disappeared into the long river of history.

However, there were always some soldiers who escaped and occupied the mountain as the king in the Funiu Mountains, not obeying the orders of the imperial court.

First, when the regime was first established, there were many opposition forces in various places. Second, Liu Xiu was originally born in the green forest, and he was more tolerant of the original soldiers.

In addition, the scale of the bandits is small, and the harm is negligible, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Their approach is similar to that of Zhang Yan later, they also farm in the mountains on weekdays, and only come out to rob when the year is not good.

If the harm was great, it is estimated that it would have been destroyed long ago, and Liu Xiu's descendants still know very well about the remnants of the heroes of the green forest who were spared by their ancestors.

Since Emperor Huan, there has been no time for peace in the world.

Natural disasters continue, man-made disasters are even worse, there is a year of rain in Funiu Mountain, and these strongmen have started the old business of their ancestors again.

It is said that it is easy to go from thrift to abundance, and it is difficult to go from abundance to thrift. Shouting on the road with weapons, the caravan obediently pays for it, and from time to time there is some extra income such as grain and jerky.

Such days are more comfortable than facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, and many people no longer farm the land and specialize in robbing roads for a living.

At the beginning, there were more than 10 cottages in the entire Funiu Mountains, and no one was convinced until the appearance of the mountain wind.

His original surname is Guo, and he has more strength than others when he is young, and he is like walking on flat ground in the mountains and forests, like the wind crossing the mountains.

Over time, no one called the name anymore.

There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames, and there are really two brushes for the mountain wind.

He read some books when he was a child, and his vision was broader than that of other bandits, and he knew the truth of fishing in the dry water, but he did not force the passing merchants too much.

Once, a group of merchants passed by the boundary of the mountain wind, and there was a well-behaved little lady in the team.

On weekdays, the goose plucked the feathers of the mountain wind cottage, and it was politely released.

I never thought of another person's territory, the other party not only plundered all the goods, but also robbed the little lady to the cottage.

As soon as the caravan personnel who fled back said that they were in a hurry to cross the mountain, they led the people of the cottage and slaughtered the village directly, not even letting go of the newborn child.

Of course, there is no bloody drama of heroes saving beauty, the little lady is unbearable, and they have committed suicide when they go to the mountain wind.

This time, let the mountain breeze taste the sweetness, because the cottages of all sizes came to give gifts.

He was also unequivocal and set rules for everyone, and all passing caravans were only for money and not for life.

If any village collects money for road purchases, the other village is not allowed to collect road money repeatedly. Each time the income is divided equally according to the size of the force.

On the surface, this is the case, but secretly the mountain wind swallows the whole caravan, and that is because there is too much money.

The Yuan family, as the emperor of Runan County, has long coveted Funiu Mountain, and they have also sent a team to occupy the mountain here as the king and kill the prestige of the hostile forces.

At that time, the leader sent was the scar in front of him, but his face was white.

Scar was cut by Chen Zhi after fighting with Chen Zhi's brother in Runan City.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was born in the Yuan family, I don't know how he died.

The Yuan family is a strong dragon, and the bandits in Funiu Mountain are the head snakes, but in the end, the strong dragons still haven't fought the head snakes, so for the sake of the Yuan family, let them go.

As for the cottage, don't even think about it, the mountain wind promises that every time the Yuan family provides information about a large caravan, you can get some money.

Scar Titus was depressed, frustrated at Funiu Mountain, and almost expelled in the city.

Shameful and courageous, he no longer carried knives and guns all day long, turned around and worked behind the scenes, specializing in the intelligence work of other families in Runan and even Yuzhou.

Of course, secretly he didn't let go of his martial arts, and he practiced diligently all the time.

Du Chun was killed in the school field, and the retaliation he prepared was denied by the above.

is just a captain, there is no need for the Yuan family to turn against the Zhao family.

Everyone else can bear it, but Scar can't, his flat wife is Du Chun's own sister.

This time, the family handed over the tomb to others.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the chickens flew and the eggs were beaten, and the guards didn't even find the corpse.

It must be said that the long-term intelligence work has given Scar an unusual intuition, and he believes that Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi were involved in this incident.

I didn't wait for the report, I secretly ran to Wuyin alone, and before I came, the carrier pigeon contacted and met in the county seat.

"What?" The mountain wind was incredulous: "More than two hundred horses? ”

Seeing Scar nodding slowly, his breathing was a little short.

The northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are boating, not that southerners don't like horses, it's because there are no channels.

On the same journey, one is running on land, and the other is in the water and even uses the strength to eat milk to cut down the boat, do you see how fast it is?

How easy it is to ride a horse, with a whip on the horse's back, you can run away, and you don't need to do it yourself.

If he had a horse in his cottage, he would take down all the dancing yin or something if he was annoyed, and he imagined in his mind how to pace in the lobby.

"Of course, if we don't have the ability to eat it, we'll think of other ways." Scar looked calm and took a sip from his teacup.

"You wait!" Guofeng stood up angrily: "I immediately asked the brothers of each village to wait day and night, and snatched these two hundred horses." ”

"That's a hundred knights, horses like the wind, and before you can stop people, they have already run away." Scar continues to agitate.

"You're kidding me!" The eyes of the mountain wind widened: "As long as they don't want to break their legs on the mountain road, try to run?" ”

Seeing that the other party was leaving, Scar stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait, it's too much, this time Yuan will take action in person, and he won't take a penny." You go back first, and Yuan will arrive later. ”

The mountain wind hurriedly hugged his fists and left.

"Hmph, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao!" Scar's hand squeezed and cooed, "Look where you can escape!" ”

The window thudged and was blown open by the wind.

Outside the window, the black clouds are low and the mountain rain is coming.
