Chapter Ninety-Six: A Gamble with Hibiki Horses

Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng climbed the Yanyin Mountain located in the east of Jinan Prefecture, Yanyin Mountain is not high, and the mountain road is not rugged and steep, it is said that it is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and it should not become a place for bandits to set up camp. The place where the bandits are stationed should either be towering into the clouds, and ordinary officers and soldiers dare not invade, or there are natural lake barriers, etc., which are not available in these swallow-winged mountains.

However, there is an advantage here, there is a natural deep pool in the back mountain, there is a large amount of water in the deep pool, and the mountain road in the back mountain is a cave, but a cliff, unless it is a martial arts master, it is difficult for ordinary officers and soldiers to attack from this mountain road. This is equivalent to a natural barrier, and it is also in line with the routine of bandits, but this is not found until you have to go around the mountain, and you can't see it at all if you usually walk more than the mountain.

The other two sides of the mountain road are almost in the shape of a cliff, although it looks normal at the bottom of the mountain, it is not as steep as the back mountain, but it is also difficult to march, in fact, you can walk if you want to go, but it affects the combat and low grade, not to mention, not to mention the extravagant style of hard-working officers and soldiers, just roll the stone and the wood can be forced down naturally, so there is only one reason to lead to the mountain.

As long as you concentrate your forces and weapons to defend a mountain, you can do it in one place. If the officers and soldiers surround the mountain, they can also use ropes to go down the mountain, but the people under the mountain are not good at using ropes to go up the mountain. At the same time, the deep pool under the mountain also ensures that the water source is sufficient, in short, it is a place of long-term stability.

After Lu Bing went up the mountain, he found that on a flat land, thirty-six wooden chairs were placed symmetrically. There were a group of men sitting on the wooden chairs, and only one empty seat was vacant. There is also a large dragon chair in the center, covered with a yellow and black tiger skin. A tall and mighty man sat on his seat. There is also a thin old man beside the big man, who is a military advisor who gives advice at a glance, but his expression is peaceful, his eyebrows are low, and he is a strategist who is well versed in the golden mean.

Hong Yishan hugged Lu Bing's fist, and then walked quickly to the big man's side. Sitting down on the second chair on the left, this position was vacant just now, and it seems that his status is not low to be able to sit so far forward.

Everyone looked at the young and excessive Lu Bing for a while. The chief scoop spoke at this time, only to see him hug his fists and greet the two of them: "Brother Lu, Brother Duan, I, Cai Longyu, have been polite to the two of you." Come and take a seat. Take a seat, come on, set up a knife door!"

The minions on both sides shouted: "Yes! Immediately distributed two rows, with steel knives against each other, set up the knife door, the steel knife composed of layers of knife door cold light, the knife is still wearing iron rings, the mountain wind hangs a rattling sound. It's like the conjuring song of Hades. If there is a weak and timid person, he will not be able to walk through this door, and the slightest mistake will definitely be cut by a thousand knives. At the same time, if the knife holder is broken, the blade is slightly biased, then it will be too late to say anything, of course, without Cai Longyu's words, no one dares to do this, but I don't know what Cai Longyu means now.

Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng walked into the knife door without the slightest hesitation, and as soon as the front foot stepped away, the steel knife on the back foot fell, sticking to the hem of the clothes and the back of the head, and they would be cut if they hesitated for half a step. But Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng walked calmly, not in a hurry, not in time, and talked and laughed freely, which was really admirable, and the horses present applauded, and sincerely admired Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng's heroic actions. Of course, others don't know that these two people are really masters of art and bold, in their opinion, the fast knife door seems to be in slow motion, it is slowly falling, not to mention dodging, even if it is possible to drill three times under the knife.

The two of them walked calmly in front of Cai Longyu and hugged their fists and said, "I've seen the chief scoop handle." ”

"What a boldness, what a guts, Brother Lu is nicknamed the God of Killing, and Brother Duan is the beloved disciple of the old predecessors of Wudang Bao Danyangzi, and he really deserves his reputation when I see it today. Some people say that those who are capable are bold, but I Cai someone thinks that only those who are bold have the ability to reach the sky, and they can't even have the courage to do anything, and they can't learn anything. You don't have to call me the chief scoop, shoulder to shoulder brothers, you are not from our green forest, just call me Brother Cai when you see me in the future. Cai Longyu said.

Lu Bing hugged his fists and said: "Then I will call you Brother Cai with the right to climb high, the younger brother is here to ask, why did the eldest brother rob the younger brother's silver taels?" ”

"Hehe, straight to the point? Why? We should have robbed ah, we are ringing horses, robbing the road is our livelihood, otherwise what do we eat, brothers, do you say yes! Cai Longyu raised his voice, and everyone in the audience replied that they were coaxed repeatedly.

Duan Qingfeng said coldly: "That robbery is a robbery, we admit that it is, why did we send someone to spread the word and report the number." If this is the rule of the ringing horse on the boundary of Shandong, it is okay, we are giving you the silver, or redeeming it, but you leave the last sentence, saying that if you want to return the silver, let your master Lu come to talk, let the owner go up the mountain, according to the rule. Brother Cai, is there such a thing? ”

"It's true, since you can see it, let's talk openly and honestly, I did this this time to lure you Lu Bing to come, so that we can discuss it together." Cai Longyu said.

Lu Bing nodded: "Now I understand, why are you ambushed on the road, and why do you gather the heroes of the 36th Road, Brother Cai, you have one purpose, to show off my strength to me, so that I can talk to you calmly, or be forced to accept your conditions." Is this the case, if so, then just say it directly, it's all gentlemen, there is no need to say that twisting clichΓ©. ”

Cai Longyu laughed and said: "Happy, then I'll say it directly, that's right, I just want you to know my ability and strength!" Brother Lu, since your business opened, we have not caused you any trouble. I have to give you a chatter about the reason, everyone admires you for being a good man, killing the god Lu Bing took his life out with a knife, and saw blood seal his throat. At the same time, you rectify corrupt officials, repay virtue with grievances against people in the martial arts, and do not blame the past in your previous life, and we have all heard of these deeds. I have to admit that because of your identity, you are a close confidant of the emperor, although you have resigned now, but you are also a noble, and we are a little afraid to touch you, which is also a big reason. Combining all of the above. That's why we didn't rob you once. ”

"Now it's not good, your Lu Ye's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are people doing business with you everywhere. Some people even think that it is safer for Yang's money to exchange silver taels. Specially and Shenjia money village joint ticket, out of the Shandong boundary and then exchange, what we grabbed is just an empty piece of paper, you are the money bank, you should know the rules of the money bank, not everyone can exchange the ticket. In doing so, you have blocked our way of life and forced us to a dead end. Our brothers all eat the money on the road. Even if we respect you no matter how much we respect you, we still have to live, and we always have something to do with your money, whether we rob it or not. So this is not a matter of doing anything, and you will rob your silver cart. Cai Longyu said.

Lu Bing nodded, hugged his fists and bowed in a square and said: "Thank you brothers and brothers for your love, so that I, Lu Bing, have been safe and sound this year, and Lu has thanked me here." It's just that" Lu Bing turned to look at Cai Longyu and asked, "Brother Cai, you mean that you want to keep this batch of silver." As compensation for the first half of the year. Or do you have other plans? ”

"Brother, didn't you say this to slap you Brother Cai in the face, if I really want to rob it, do I still need to discuss it with you, just don't give it back to you, what do you like, if you want to go or die, can you bear me? Brothers. Sensei said it was you, it was Qi Jingtong who lived from your house a few days ago. In the past, the general officers and men of the Shandong garrison army were not necessarily able to deal with us when they were transferred to the troops and horses they led before. Cai Longyu may have misunderstood Lu Bing's words, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, he was already a rough man, and he was a little impatient when he spoke, and there was also a hint of gunpowder.

Lu Bing smiled, ignoring Duan Qingfeng's hints, and snorted coldly: "It's okay if you don't mention Qi Jingtong, I think about it when I mention it, if you have the ability to go according to the Japanese and follow our own people to shout and fart." ”

"Let your mother stink!" Cai Longyu raised his knife and scolded: "When Lao Tzu fought the Japanese Invaders, you were still muddy, I know that you took those Southern Barbarians to kill a lot of Japanese Criminals, but Lao Tzu killed no less than you." Why do you think Shandong is so peaceful, is it possible that you really think that this dog brain really thinks that it is the role of officers and soldiers, let it go! If there was no Lao Tzu, the Japanese would have come in a long time ago, where can Qi Jingtong stop it, if I didn't help him contain it, we would have fought more than the officers and soldiers against the Japanese......"

Lu Bing didn't laugh angrily, he could see that Cai Longyu really took his brothers to fight a few battles with the Japanese Kou, so he would be so angry when others erased his merits and sense of existence.

Lu Bing also wanted to speak and apologize, and then continue to talk, but he didn't expect Cai Longyu to also have a quick temper, and his temperament was no smaller than Lu Bing's, so he said at this moment: "Okay, Lao Tzu won't talk to you, surround them for me, don't let them go, see if Lao Tzu has the strength to fight with the widows." You are powerful enough to go to the state capital, right? It's your Lu Bing's base camp there, and now Lao Tzu will serve it, see if you still argue with Lao Tzu! Let you know how powerful Lao Tzu is, if you don't eat good food, you can't discuss it, you have to be strong! ”

Cai Longyu turned around and walked away as he spoke, and a group of minions hurriedly rushed up to surround Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng, Duan Qingfeng looked at Lu Bing, Nunu signaled whether to capture the thief and capture the king first to hold Cai Longyu hostage, Lu Bing shook his head slightly and said softly: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

After Cai Longyu explained and turned his head to look at Lu Bing angrily, Lu Bing said: "You said that you will serve it, and you should be opened by your family when you are the Dengzhou Mansion." Since you want me to lose my heart, then I'll see how you fought against the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Mansion and how you won. Boss Cai, I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat, don't let me starve to death before I admit defeat and convince me, this will damage your prestige. ”

"Okay, bring them food, take the best and let them eat, and let them be convinced to die when they leave, so that you will die blindly! Lu Bing, Lu Bing, you're not bold, you're half-tone, half-tone! Cai Longyu was a little angry, he had never seen such a person who was not afraid of himself, and calm, even if the two people in front of him had fallen into the tiger's den in Longtan, and were held by a group of wolf-like horses with knives, but they were still very calm.

This made Cai Longyu feel more and more frightened and inexplicably panicked, because he understood that Lu Bing was not an arrogant person until now, and only when they could turn a blind eye to themselves, or even feel the slightest danger, would they be like this, otherwise they would definitely strike first, which is a common rule of survival in any industry. Could it be that Lu Bing had another plan, Cai Longyu's fright was behind the secret thinking and sorrow, the old military master beside him whispered a few words in his ear, Cai Longyu nodded, and then explained a few little minions to go down the mountain.
