Chapter 650: Bright Moon Valley
"My lord, there is Mingyue Gorge in front of you!"
"Mingyue Gorge, good name!"
"After the Mingyue Gorge, go south along the road for sixty miles to the boundary of Yi County." Yang Shan guided.
"Mingyue Gorge, Mr. Yang's darthead, is there a place near this place in Mingyue Valley?" Meng Yan asked.
"My lord, Mingyue Valley is a cottage where a group of thieves gather in the mountains and forests, the big boss is called Hua Tai Sui Qiu Liang, and there are seventy or eighty brothers below, all of whom are ruthless characters who kill people without blinking!" Yang Shandao.
"Do you guys dart from Mingyue Gorge?"
"We are taking the official road, and this side of Mingyue Gorge is too close to Mingyue Valley, so we dare not go." Yang Shandao.
"What about the cost of travel?"
"This ......," Yang Shan smiled, "As long as each of our dart bureaus passes by here, the annual toll will cost three hundred taels of silver. β
"Brother Xiaochao, how many dart bureaus are there in the capital?"
"There are about 100 of them, right?"
"How many businesses have passed through here?"
"There must be more than 30 of them."
"More than 30 families, this year is tens of thousands of taels of silver, or taken for nothing, this money is really easy to earn!" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"As the saying goes, kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and pave roads without corpses, this is % and get money quickly!"
"Mr. Yang, if you take the dart, how much will you pay for the toll and protection along the way?" Meng Yan asked.
"That's a lot, the court taxes, and the customs clearance fee for the card, miscellaneous, a year, also get three thousand taels of silver, as for the protection fee for the cottage heroes along the way. That's pretty much the same number. β
"So, how much does the dart game make in a year?"
"It's only about twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver."
"That's a third of your income?"
"This is just this way, and it costs money in other places, in fact, the silver in hand is only about 10,000 taels, and the wages of the dart master and the executioner are removed, and the disability pension is removed. Daily consumption, the dart game is actually barely making ends meet, and what is earned is hard-earned money. Yang Shan sighed.
"Your Fuwei dart game is also considered to have a name in the capital, you are all like this, aren't those little dart games worse than you?"
"In fact, the real money in the dart game is the first five, they have the strength, the government has a relationship, people only need to spend half of our cost, and there is no need to worry about the goods being robbed. Because they are powerful, the general robbers dare not provoke, and ours, the power is not big, they just extort, so they are the hardest to live, those small dart games have a small number of people and small targets. I can't take on big jobs, and I can't make a lot of money. This robber doesn't look down on him, so he lives better than us. Yang Shandao.
Any industry is the most uncomfortable in the middle, and if you want to develop and grow, you are afraid of being suppressed by the leading boss above. I'm afraid that I will be caught up by the backwards.
It's really uncomfortable.
"Mr. Yang, you said that if these copycat bandits are cleaned up, will it be easier for you to dart?"
"That's of course, we can have at least half of the cost left. These people are eating people and don't spit out bones, don't give money, we are simply unable to move an inch on this road, and this is the only way to go west to Taiyuan and Datong in Shanxi. Yang Shandao.
"Hasn't the government sent troops to encircle and suppress it?"
"Of course, the government has surrounded and suppressed, but it is useless, as soon as the officers and soldiers come, they hide in the mountains, and they can't find anyone at all, and when they come back afterwards, what can you do with them?" Yang Shan smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, let's go, let's go meet this Hua Tai Sui for a while!" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"My lord, do you want to go to Bright Moon Valley?"
"Well, these bandits must be lawless and oppressive of good people, and since this official has encountered it, he can't let it go."
"My lord, aren't we here to suppress bandits?"
"Of course this official knows, it depends on whether this flower is too old to know whether he is interested or not, otherwise, this official doesn't mind destroying Mingyue Valley." The reason why Meng Yan divided his troops into two ways was not because he wanted to confuse Dongchang, the people in Dongchang were not fools, they could judge their plans from the number of people in the team.
His real idea is to train soldiers!
The group of people under him are all newcomers who have never experienced a life-and-death battle, and they have to find an opportunity to hone them.
In actual combat, clearing these grass robbers who occupy the mountains and fall into the grass is the most suitable target.
If even the bandits of the rabble are not opponents, then what is the use, disband as soon as possible, and go home to live a stable life.
At this time, the moon valley is in the middle.
"The ...... of the Big Boss"
"Oh, please!" Hua Tai Sui's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the advice of his subordinates.
"Invite your guests in!"
Two men brought in a blindfolded young man.
Removing the masked black silk scarf, the visitor closed his eyes for a moment, adjusted to the light in the cave a little, opened his eyes, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a pair of colored silk pants, silk clothes, and a small red flower on his head on the tiger head chair.
"It's Hua Tai Sui up there?"
"Rude!"
"Hey, forget it, people are officials, we are thieves, if we can come here, even if we can give face to someone."
"It's still the big boss who understands."
"Say, what's the matter, I Mingyue Valley has nothing to do with your Dongchang?" Hua Tai Sui Qiu Liang said, "Why did you send you to see me?" β
"We want to ask the hater to do us a favor?"
"Dongchang, please ask us to help, I heard you right, right?" Qiu Liang laughed.
"No, it's a favor from the big boss, and after the matter is done, there will be a lot of thanks." The person said solemnly.
"Say, what's the deal?"
"If the big boss listens, he can't shirk it, otherwise, he won't talk about it."
"This is interesting, let's say, as long as we don't want our brothers to die, helping is just a trivial matter." Qiu Liang said, it is also a good thing to be on the list of the big tree of Dongchang, although this is also a tiger skin, at least Dongchang will not care about Mingyue Valley.
"This morning, there will be a caravan from the capital in Mingyue Gorge, they will carry a large number of supplies and horses, and the Qiu Da boss only needs to bring someone to intercept them." "When the time comes, the supplies will go to the big boss, and we will only need half of the horses." β
"Your East Factory is for us to contribute. Do you eat ready-made? β
"That's not it, we don't have enough manpower, so we found the boss of Qiu Da, if we have enough manpower, we don't need to bother you at all!"
"Then why did you offer such good terms?"
"We want those people, others are not interested. The reason why I wanted half of the horses was to take those people away. "Come humane.
"The people who can make Dongchang interested must have a great background, I want to ......"
"It's best for the big boss not to know anything, it's only good for you, no harm."
"Okay, Ben Tai Sui promises you!"
"Big boss, you have to be cautious about this?"
"I didn't hear from the guests, as long as I did. I can't excuse myself, not to mention that this is a big fat sheep? β
"How many of them are there?"
"Counting women and children, there are about a hundred people!"
"And women?" The eyes of the thieves were green.
"Women belong to us, how about it, you don't need Dongchang, right?" Qiu Liang laughed wantonly.
"Yes!"
"That's it, brothers, go down the mountain and work!" Qiu Liang stood up and yelled excitedly.
"Whoop......" The restless breath suddenly stirred.
Except for leaving a few old and weak guards at home. Hua Tai Sui took away almost all the forces that could fight in the valley.
At the entrance of Mingyue Gorge, Meng Yan and his party slowed down.
Two mountains sandwiched by a ditch. This is a natural ambush battlefield.
"My lord, there is a bad premonition under the mark!" Zhang Chong, the captain of the guard, walked ahead and said with a frown.
"My lord, this terrain is not good for us, and if someone ambushes us, we will suffer a lot of losses?"
"Brother Xiaochao. What would you do if you were in such a situation on the battlefield? β
"If you have to take this road, I will order a quick pass, and in case of an ambush, I will never fight!" Guo Xiaochao. "But if I had another choice, I wouldn't go here."
"If it is an opponent of the same strength, I have the same choice as you, but we are facing a group of rabble, there is no need to be afraid, sue sΓΉ below, keep going, and be vigilant!" Meng Yan ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Behind the team, a group of black-clothed knights followed, with about forty-five people, led by Feng Shaoyu, the head of the East Factory.
"Big stall leader, I didn't expect this surnamed Meng to be so stupid, such a dangerous place, just enter it!"
"Whether he's stupid or not, our purpose is to drag him to Datong so that we can give time over there." Feng Shaoyu said.
"Stall, do you say that this surnamed Meng will ......?"
"Just rely on Qiu Liang's waste, it's not an opponent surnamed Meng at all, wait and see, let's go and copy the old nest of Mingyue Valley!"
"The head of the stall is smart!"
The group entered the canyon, and there was nothing unusual except for the quiet, cold and somewhat infiltrating people around.
"Quack ......"
Suddenly, a burst of birds frightened, and everyone looked up to see several large birds flying overhead, with black feathers, and under the reflection, they couldn't recognize what kind of birds they were.
"My lord, there is a situation!"
"Well, everyone be careful, the shield hand comes forward!" Meng Yan waved his hand, and the shield man dismounted, quickly completed the splicing of the shield, and walked in front on foot.
Da Da Da ......
A black line galloped from the opposite side, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him, and enemies appeared in front and behind.
The whole team was stunned.
"Hahaha, it's really a fat sheep, brothers, kill Lao Tzu ......" An arrogant laugh came.
"Hua Qingfang!"
"Shoot me the one who rushes to the front!" Meng Yan sat on the horse's back and ordered coldly.
"Whoa!" Hua Qingfang bent her bow and arrows, and with a "whoosh", a black carved arrow shot at the Bright Moon Valley bandits who rushed to the front with a sharp whistling sound!
Burst!
Right in the throat, a gorgeous blood flower blooms!
The splattered blood fell on Hua Tai Sui's face Qiu Liang, and he was frightened, and a chill instantly filled his heart!
If he had been the first to run just now, wouldn't this arrow have killed him!
"First Squad, Kill!"
Meng Yan held the Heavenly Wolf Knife, pointed forward, and ordered loudly.
The first squad, which had already been ready for action, drew their war knives one after another, and the war horses under their crotches couldn't wait to rush out.
Meng Yan gave an order, and the first squad rushed into the bandit crowd like a black lightning bolt, slashing and killing with recklessness. (To be continued......) R1292
