Chapter 114: Robbery and Killing
Liaodong in early spring is still cold, the snow on the ground has not melted, and the road on the road is also very difficult to walk. If it is not a very important matter, few people will walk on the road at this time, after all, there are many bandits on the road after years of war.
In the west of Shenyang, there is a very dangerous place called Hulu Valley. Because there are cliffs on both sides, it has become the only access road, and at the mouth of the valley, the middle of the valley and the exit are very narrow, and it looks like an upside-down gourd, so this place is called the gourd valley.
The morning sun has just risen, and the sun has not yet shone into the gourd valley, which seems a little dark, but it is also very quiet. It's just the arrival of a group of people that broke the tranquility here, and the birds and beasts in the mountains are boiling.
"We quickly passed through the gourd valley and waited for the group of turtle grandchildren at the exit in front!" The group were all dressed in night clothes, with masked scarves over their faces and knives behind their backs. Everyone sat upright on their horses, their eyes shining fiercely, and under the beckoning of the leader, the pair quickly rushed through the gourd valley.
The group of people gradually fell silent, and the gourd valley gradually quieted down, as if these people had never appeared.
I don't know how long it took, a group of people came again to break the tranquility of the gourd valley, compared to the previous group of people, this time the people were more like visiting the mountains and rivers. Seven people and seven horses walked leisurely on the road, obviously not in a hurry.
Lightly beating the horse, glancing at the man next to him, Wei Zhongxian said slowly: "Wang stall, this errand is done beautifully, after returning to Beijing, the godfather will definitely have a heavy reward." ”
"Thanks to Grandpa Wei's wisdom, I will have to rely on Grandpa Wei more in the future!" Wang Stalltou hugged his fist at Wei Zhongxian, although he looked down on him in his heart, but he couldn't see it at all, but was full of flattery.
"Well said, well said. Let's see that the head of the Wang stall is good, and he will definitely have a lot to do in the future. Squinting his eyes slightly, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said loudly. Glancing at the terrain in front of him, Wei Zhongxian gently pulled his horse.
Looking around for some unknown reasons, Wang asked blankly, "Father-in-law Wei, why don't you leave?" ”
"The terrain here is dangerous, and if we encounter bandits, we will be very dangerous." Wei Zhongxian still knows a little about Liaodong, there are many bandits here, you must be careful, otherwise your life will be gone
Pulling the reins of the horse, Wang Stalltou laughed a few times, and then said: "Father-in-law Wei, you don't know this, although the terrain here is dangerous, there will be no bandits." ”
"Why is that?" Glancing curiously at Wang's stall head, Wei Zhongxian asked. After all, the terrain here is dangerous and it is the main road to Shenyang, if you do something here to rob the house, it is very safe.
"This place is called Hulu Valley, which is the throat road to Shenyang in the west, and there were indeed bandits in the past, and there are quite a few! However, in recent years, Liaodong has not been peaceful and has always been at war, so it has become a very important location. Sometimes the war is tight, there will be garrisons here, and those bandits have long since run away. Those who don't run have been exterminated, after all, this place cannot fall into the hands of bandits.
Nodding slowly, since it is safe, it doesn't matter, but Wei Zhongxian still said to Wang Stall: "Let's send someone to take a look!" It's always a good idea to be careful. ”
"Grandpa Wei is really wise", turned around and beckoned to a person, and Wang said, "You go and take a look!" Although he was quite disappreciative in his heart, but Wei Zhongxian's meaning, Wang Stalltou still didn't dare to disobey.
There was not much time, and the man came back and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Go back to Grandpa Wei, there is no one here." ”
"Let's go!" Gently rubbing his forehead, I don't know why, Wei Zhongxian always felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
The speed of the group was not fast, and they walked forward slowly, and Wei Zhongxian was in the middle of this group of people, constantly looking around. However, there seemed to be nothing going on, and nothing happened when these people walked to the middle of the valley, which made Wei Zhongxian feel a lot more relieved.
Wang Duantou glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and was quite disdainful in his heart, this is really a eunuch, he is so bold, I really don't know why the overseer values him so much? Is it because he is a eunuch?
Just when Wang Duantou wanted to say something, he suddenly heard a "boom", and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Someone shoots an arrow", subconsciously passed. As soon as he tilted his body, the feather arrow flew close to his body.
The person behind Wang Stall's head didn't have such good skills, and before he could react, the flying feather arrow had already penetrated his chest. The man's body shook on the horse, and he fell, and finally looked at Wei Zhongxian, his eyes full of resentment. If he can speak at this time, he must say a word to Wei Zhongxian, you are really a crow's mouth.
With the sound of a bowstring, the sound of a bowstring continued to sound in the valley, and the people around Wei Zhongxian kept falling down their horses. At this time, Wang Duantou had already pulled out the knife behind him, constantly striking the feather arrows, and at the same time stretched out his hand to turn Wei Zhongxian on the horse and hide behind a dead horse.
"I don't know which brother it is? Why is it so difficult? At this time, although Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, his body was still trembling, but Wang Duantou was quite bold, with a knife in his hand, and asked loudly.
But the valley was quiet again, and no one appeared or spoke, only the neighing of the fallen horses. Wang didn't dare to get up, so he had to pull Wei Zhongxian to lie there like that, at this time, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, if I want to run at this time, I will definitely be shot into a hedgehog.
I don't know how long later, the sound of horses' hooves came to mind in the valley, and what made the king different was that the sound of horses' hooves did not come from the opposite side, but from behind. and Wei Zhongxian glanced at each other, both of them saw a trace of joy in each other's eyes, since they didn't come from the same direction, they didn't think that these people were in a group, it seemed that they really shouldn't die!
In a short time, a pair of centaurs appeared in the valley, not many people, only four or five people. But everyone rode horses, and they all carried bows and arrows and knives, and each had a musket on their horses.
The leader is a man in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking sven. Seeing this scene in front of him, the man in white didn't seem surprised, turned over and dismounted and came to Wei Zhongxian's side.
"It's really a mountain that doesn't turn around, I really didn't expect to meet two here, we are really fateful!" Gently opened the folding fan and fanned it slowly, and the smile on the face of the man in white was very kind.
