The strong light shone on Xia Benyu's eyelids, forcing him to open his eyes. It turned out that the carriage where he was hiding had been moved away, and the whole person was exposed to broad daylight. Mr. Xia traveled north and south and met countless people, but the robber was still the first time he encountered it, and he was really inexperienced, and he didn't know what to say or do at all, so he had to curl up and crawl on the ground, and it was best to be ignored by those people.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and the robbers are not blind.

Xia Benyu and his entourage were brought to the leader of the robbers, and several more surviving merchants were arrested one after another and asked them to identify each other. At this time, who dared to play with the King of the Mountain, Xia Benyu, as the "leader" of the caravan, was the first to be recognized. However, there are two businessmen with rich life experience who know that the robbers are asking for a ransom for identification. That would probably save a life – for the time being.

"Well, are you willing to join us to eat and drink spicy food, or do you want to be guests in the Hades Palace?" The king of the mountain was in the prime of life, and he had already worn his pity to the brink, and no one dared to take his words as a joke. Besides, he is nearly a foot tall, like an iron tower, and when he speaks, his chest resonates, and his voice reaches Lixu, like thunder. Such a character, if it is in romance, it is an evil general who chases the tiger and crosses the stream; In the Water Margin, that is a heroic hero!

It's a pity that this master is not a chivalrous man who walks for heaven.

Among the drivers and guards, most of them are heroes who do not suffer immediate losses, and they have agreed to join the gang. There are also a few people who have listened to their mother's words since they were children, and they refuse to do things that hurt the heavens and reason, and would rather die than fall into the grass. So these people became the former's vote, and their heads were cut off by their former companions.

The merchants were terrified when they saw it, and they didn't dare to perfunctory about these villains. They all reported their net worth, and they were willing to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy a life. Xia Benyu was especially worried that he had taken on the false name of "leader", and he had no benefit. But people think that he is the big man among the merchants, and the amount of ransom will naturally go to a higher level.

"Great boss, the brothers have discovered something strange." A little minion ran over and shouted.

The giant bandit chief glared at the minion, and said angrily: "What's wrong! ”

"Boss, you see. There are signs of clouds and mountains. As he spoke, he took a piece of flower cloth and handed it to the giant bandit chief.

The giant man took a look, and sure enough, he saw a stick figure mountain in the corner, and there were a few lines of clouds and mist halfway up the mountain. Although the painting is simple, it is very expressive to the viewer, and anyone can see at a glance that it is a high mountain towering into the sky.

The giant man held the canvas in the palm of his hand, and when he turned his head, he was already laughing, and said, "It's really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple." The family doesn't recognize the family anymore. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Which one is a friend of Liaohaixing, and please come over for a drink. It's true, if you put the banner out, why did you cause such a misunderstanding? ”

The phrase "friend of Liaohaixing" can be understood in two ways. One is a person from "Liaohaixing", and the other is an acquaintance who has a relationship with Liaohaixing. Xia Benyu admits that he has a good relationship with Liao Haixing, but he is not sure what this bandit chief means. If someone is looking for someone from Liaohaixing, and they stand up rashly, wouldn't it become a hypocrisy? There are such concerns. So Xia Benyu followed the others, squatting in the crowd and turning his head to visit: to see if Gu Shui Sheng had secretly sent someone to protect him.

After the giant man shouted. Seeing that no one stood up, he said loudly: "I opened a cabinet in Liaodong to do business, and Liaohai Xingjing water does not violate the river water, today is a misunderstanding, as long as the brother stands up, half of the red goods will be returned according to the rules." ”

There was still no one in the crowd moving.

The giant man laughed dryly. Try to make yourself look kinder, and say, "What is there to worry about?" You Liaohaixing is very powerful, who dares to provoke you who are doing business on this side? But the brethren had to eat, and according to the old rule, they had to keep half of the red goods. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare mess around. ”

A middle-aged man stood up trembling in the crowd and arched his hand towards the giant man: "The big boss." The small one is quite familiar with Liaohaixing, and the cloth is exactly the small one. ”

The giant man still kept smiling and asked, "Do you know what this cloud mountain mark means?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned and shook his head like a wobble.

The little minions behind him raised their feet and kicked him up, kicked him to the ground, and sneered: "I don't know this, dare to say that I am familiar with Liao Haixing?" ”

Xia Benyu's eyelids jumped, and he said secretly: I am also familiar with Liaohaixing, but what do they mean by the mark of Yunshan?

The giant man threw the flower cloth to the minion, waved his big hand, and said, "It's okay, go, go back to the village!" ”

The minions cheered, and the new minions did their labor, and roared away like a whirlwind and clouds. This bandit with Mongol, Jurchen, and Han Chinese has a good appetite and refuses to let go of anything. When the group left, only a dead body remained.

Xia Benyu was tied to the first one, staggering behind the butt of the bandit chief. As long as he looked up, he could see a thin Mongolian horse carrying this evil spirit, as if it would scatter its skeleton at any time, quite a bit of a feeling that he was also a fallen person at the end of the world.

The robbers' village was deep in the forest, not far from the post road, but it had been walking for most of the day. Just look at this road is rugged and difficult, the mountains and forests are dense, as if there are countless roads, but in a blink of an eye, there is no road at all. With such terrain, most officers and soldiers will not bother to come to encircle and suppress.

The stockade was walled with wooden fences, a trench was dug and a drawbridge was erected. When the bandits guarding the village saw their accomplices returning, they lowered the drawbridge with a whistle, and immediately the village was filled with cheers.

Xia Benyu only felt that he had walked into the monster cave, and all these people in front of him were like monsters with green faces and fangs, so frightened that he hooked his head and shrunk his neck, and did not dare to look at it, for fear of seeing the "roasted whole person" strung on a sharp wooden stake.

The bandit chief arranged a few words in a loud voice, and brought a group of his men to eat, drink and have fun. The meat tickets were led into a shack where the stench was terrible. Even if he is a man beaten with fine iron, if he is locked up here for two days, he will be smoked into rusty slag. Even the robbers themselves couldn't stand it, so they locked the meat ticket in and locked the door and left, not worrying about them escaping.

In fact, there is nowhere to escape.

A few acquaintances helped each other untie the ropes, and found that there was a latrine in the shack, which is why it stinked like this. A group of people have not suffered before, but they have never suffered such hardships, and they gathered in the corner, discussing whether they would be torn up if the ransom came.

Xia Benyu still had a trace of persistence, but suddenly heard someone say: "Our family in the capital is better." If the home is in Jiangnan, and the ransom is sent thousands of miles away, I am afraid that the bones will be blackened. ”

When Xia Benyu heard this, two turbid tears suddenly rolled down, and he deeply regretted that he was so obsessed with money that he didn't listen to Gu Shuisheng's advice.
