The bandit leader gave him a cold look but did not answer.

Zhang Fei said on the side: "Big brother doesn't have to talk to him, this black-faced thief is just a shrunken turtle, I asked him for a long time just now and he didn't dare to say his name, he had the courage to be a thief but didn't dare to leave his name." ”

The bandit leader was furious and shouted: "The eldest husband will not change his name or change his surname, you will listen to it, a certain Qingzhou Guan Hai is also, I will go down to see the king of Hades in a while, and report your name as the uncle!" ”

Guanhai! Liu Ze couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, no wonder he was able to fight with Zhang Fei for more than 30 years and never lose. Unexpectedly, Guan Hai, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who besieged Beihai in the Three Kingdoms, would appear here, and Guan Yu, who had fought dozens of rounds of battles, was naturally good at martial arts, if he could ambush him, he would be able to add a fierce general in front of the tent in the future.

Liu Zelang said: "Seeing that the hero is a good martial artist, he doesn't want to serve the court, why do you want to fall into the grass here and rob the house, isn't it a pearl to cast a secret investment?" ”

Guan Hai sneered: "Serve the court? You're talking in your sleep, aren't you? If I can rob more gold and silver here, I may be able to buy an official and a half-job. Don't talk nonsense, if you are acquainted, put down your belongings, and you can let you live, if not, the sixty-four heads last month are your example. Behind him, a hundred and ten thieves shouted and cheered in unison,

Liu Ze was not afraid, and said indifferently: "Money is something outside the body, life does not bring death, it is naturally very easy and ...... for me to let go."

Guan Hai laughed when he heard this, and said, "Your Excellency is also a smart person......

Liu Ze just looked at the sword in his hand and said, "However, even if I agree, I'm afraid that this sword won't agree." ”

Guan Hai's face sank suddenly, and he shouted: "It seems that Your Excellency has eaten the scales and has an iron heart, in this case, Hugh blames Guan for being ruthless, and today next year will be your sacrifice day!" ”

"Guan Hai, I respect you as a man, and the scuffle will inevitably hurt some innocents, how about we take a gamble?" Liu Ze has a brain, and if he wants to subdue Guan Hai, it seems that he has to use a dim sum machine.

"How to bet?" Guan Hai is not willing to be weak.

"You may choose one of us to fight alone, and if you prevail, all our goods shall be yours, and all our men shall be at your disposal; If you fail, you need to quit the green forest, change your ways, and do legitimate business with me, how about it? ”

Guan Hai was also a little hesitant, he had already seen Zhang Fei's martial arts, and he tried his best to barely make a draw with others, and it was difficult to get a bargain if he continued to fight, as for Liu Ze, although he was not as majestic as Zhang Fei, but from his blazing eyes, Guan Hai felt a compelling cold, that calm, that free, and that momentum that was not angry and powerful forced him to breathe a little. However, looking at his young age, only fifteen or sixteen years old, even if his martial arts are good, his strength is insufficient, he must be better to fight.

Zhang Fei said coldly over there: "Black-faced thief, I have already seen that you don't have that species, even if you are like a bear, you dare to come out and rob the house, haha, go back to the warm quilt and hug your wife as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed here!" ”

Guan Hai was furious and said to Liu Ze: "Okay, I'll fight you alone!" If you can go 30 rounds under me, I'll lose! As he spoke, he lit up the double halberd and pulled the rack open.

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, my eldest brother can say, if we lose, let you deal with it, if you lose, what should you do?" ”

Guan Hai said proudly: "If I lose, I will be your slave from now on and serve for life." ”

Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder. "Good! The eldest husband said a word-"

"—The horse is hard to chase!" Guan Hai continued.

Zhang Fei slowly retreated behind Liu Ze and said in a low voice: "Big brother, although this guy's martial arts are not very pure, his arm strength is amazing, and the attack is very fierce, you have to deal with it carefully." ”

Liu Ze nodded, this Guan Hai may not even be second-rate when he was in the Three Kingdoms, he has studied hard and practiced hard in the past few years, and he does not dare to slack off on the way to martial arts, although he is already a big step behind Zhang Fei, but he is confident that he still has the ability to fight with Guan Hai.

He took a step forward, hugged his sword in his chest, and said, "Please!" ”

Guan Hai roared, and he was three feet high, waved his double halberd, and smashed it on Liu Ze's head like thunder. Liu Ze walked lightly, took a step back, flashed over, stabbed a sword with his backhand, Guan Hai opened it with a halberd, and the two sides went back and forth, fighting in one place.

Guan Hai is strong and heavy, the double halberd is whirring, and the moves are known for their fierceness; Liu Ze's body is light and agile, the sword is like a dragon swimming out of the water, and the sword moves are elegant and chic. The two sides fought for thirty or forty rounds without a score, and Zhang Fei had already shouted: "Black-faced thief, your cowhide has been blown out, and you have fought for thirty rounds, and if you continue to fight, you will lose, kowtow and admit defeat as soon as possible." ”

Guan Hai's face couldn't help but turn red, and he added three points of strength to his hand, and a pair of iron halberds made it like a windmill, making a fatal move, and directly taking Liu Ze's vital point.

Liu Ze knew that he was at the end of the crossbow, and he sold a flaw, Guan Hai was overjoyed, and he wanted to attack with a halberd, but he didn't expect that he was already wide open, the halberd head had not fallen, and Liu Ze's long sword was already on his neck. This sword came so fast that Guan Hai didn't even see how Liu Ze made the sword, the cold blade was on his neck, and with a slight stroke from Liu Ze, this head no longer belonged to him.

The victory or defeat was decided, Guan Hai's face was like ashes, he sighed, threw away the double halberd in his hand, pounced, knelt in front of Liu Ze, and said: "The master is above, please accept Guan Hai's worship." ”

Although Guan Hai is a reckless person, he also understands the truth of being willing to gamble and lose, and is even more grateful to Liu Ze's subordinates for showing mercy and not taking his life. "Guan Hai's life has been the master's from now on, before and after the saddle, he will be driven by everything."

Liu Ze was overjoyed, so he subdued this fierce general so easily, and hurriedly helped him up.

As for how to deal with that gang of thieves, Guan Hai had to ask Liu Ze. Liu Ze pondered for a moment, thinking that the thieves have been robbers for a long time, and it is difficult to control them, if they are all co-opted, there may be a disaster, and if they are allowed to be thieves, they can only harm the people, so it is better to give them money to let them return to their hometowns, or buy land and farm, or do some small business. Guan Hai immediately agreed.

Liu Ze instructed Jian Yong to take out some money for severance pay, Guan Hai smiled embarrassedly: "I robbed a lot of merchants here, although there is not much gold and silver money, but it is enough to distribute it to the brothers as a settlement fee, how can I let the master break the bank." So he returned to the cottage, distributed the gold and silver to his thieves, dismissed them all, and burned the cottage to the ground at the end.

Liu Ze and Zhang Fei took care of Hai and distributed all the gold and silver property to his subordinates, and he never kept a penny, seeing that he was so bold and magnificent, he also admired him very much.

Leaving Taibai Ridge, the road is more and more bumpy and difficult to travel, but there is no thief attack, but it is safe and sound, cross the Qinling Mountains, it is Hanzhong, go to Nanzheng, cross Yangping, and go straight to the Sword Pavilion.

The danger of Shu Road is nothing more than the Sword Pavilion, the cliff cliff, the ground rises, straight into the sky, the peaks and peaks are stacked, stretching for hundreds of miles, thousands of walls stand, the dangerous mountains are undulating, the dog's teeth are staggered, leaning on the sky is like a sword, the Qiao coin is interrupted, the two mountains face each other like a door, so it is called the Sword Gate. Because of its majestic mountains and steep roads, it is known as "the majestic pass of the world". Zhang Zai's "Sword Pavilion Ming": But the gate of Shu, as a solid town, is called the Sword Pavilion, the wall stands thousands of miles, the danger of the poor land, and the extreme road

Walking on the plank road, Liu Ze couldn't help but think of Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty", and couldn't help but chant loudly: "Wow! The stakes are high! The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky. Silkworms and fish, how dazed is the founding of the country! He is 48,000 years old, and he is not populated with Qinsai. There is a bird road in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei. The earth collapsed and the mountain destroyed the strong man to death, and then the ladder stone stacks were hooked together. There is a high standard of six dragons returning to the sun, and there is a return to the river with a wave and a reversal. The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb. What a plate of green mud! Hundreds of steps and nine folds linger on the rocks. He sat on his back and sighed with his hands. Ask when you will return to the west, and you can't climb the rocks. But when I saw the ancient trees of the Sad Bird, the male and the female flew around the forest. I also heard Zigui crying the night moon, and I was sad about the empty mountain. The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky! Let people listen to this. Even the peaks go to the sky and do not exceed the feet, and the dead pines hang upside down against the cliffs. The flying turbulent waterfall is noisy, and the cliff turns to the stone and thunder. The same is true of the danger, why do people who come from afar? The Sword Pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. Guards or bandits, turned into wolves and jackals. Avoid tigers in the morning and long snakes in the evening. Grinding teeth and sucking blood, killing people like numbness. Although Jincheng is cloudy, it is better to return home early. The difficulty of the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the side looks west and sighs. ”

Zhang Fei Guan Hai didn't know anything about poetry, but Jian Yong shouted: "Good poetry! Good poetry! Magnificent, unrestrained and majestic, a good sentence of Shu Dao's difficulty, difficult to go to the sky! Brother Liu, this poem will be famous through the ages. ”

Liu Ze sweated and said with a smile: "No, no, no, this poem is not written by me, but it is just passing through Shu Dao and being moved." Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning! ”

Jian Yong was a little puzzled, he was also full of poetry books, but he had never heard of this poem at all, not to mention that the aura of this poem was too great, and there was probably no masterpiece of Chinese poetry that could be compared, he couldn't help asking: "Then who wrote this poem?" Even if Qu Ping is reborn, he may not be able to endow such a masterpiece? ”

Liu Ze couldn't help but be embarrassed, he couldn't say that this was a masterpiece of the poet immortal Li Bai hundreds of years later, so he had to say vaguely: "I used to see it in ancient books, but I don't know who made it." ”

"It's hard to return to Shu, but it's not difficult to go to the sky, haven't we also come here?" Zhang Fei didn't care, and strode forward.

Liu Ze hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, this plank road is in disrepair, you need to walk slowly, and you must not step on it hard." ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Big brother is too worried, I see that this plank road is quite strong." …… What's next? ”

There was a commotion at the end of the mule team, and a man came to report that a Qin mule might be sick and couldn't walk, and fell to the ground, because the plank road was narrow, only one person and one mule could pass through Guò, so that there were several mules behind that were blocked and impassable. When Zhang Fei heard this, he strode towards the rear team. Liu Ze and Guan Hai also followed.

The mule may have been too tired, foaming at the mouth, kneeling on the front legs, when Zhang Fei walked to him, Liu Zeshang was a few feet behind him, Liu Ze took a rope in his hand, and said, "Brother Xian, take the rope and drag it." ”

"Don't be that troublesome." Zhang Fei said, slapped the mule's buttocks heavily, and the mule was in pain, so he immediately stood up, jumping and jumping in pain. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "How? Suddenly, I heard a loud rumbling noise, and my feet went limp, and I actually fell.
