After the killing, the valley slowly returned to calm, Meng Kang found a few straw mats to wrap a total of eight corpses, including the Drill Sky Eagle, and ordered them to be buried in a ravine seven or eight miles away from the old camp.

All the horse thieves were concentrated on a flat grass in front of the earthen house under Meng Kang's orders. Zhai Zhe wanted to do his best to appease the hearts of these horse thieves, no matter what kind of feelings these people had for the Diamond Sky Eagle, at least he wanted to make them feel that it was more promising to follow him.

"The Diamond Eagle is dead, I know you all have your own ideas," Zhai Zhe waved his hands, "but I want to ask everyone, what are you wandering in this grassland for?" ”

"In order to be fed and clothed, instead of dying on this grassland at will, the corpse becomes food for wild beasts!"

"These Drill Sky Eagles can't bring them, only I can give them to you!" Zhai Zhe's voice echoed in the valley, "If any of you want to avenge him, I can let you go now, and wait here for you to come back at any time to take revenge, if you want to gallop the grassland with me, then stay!" ”

"Stay!" Meng Kang shook his fist and shouted, and his image of fighting fiercely and not fearing death made him a little prestige in this horse thief.

Zhai Zhe took out a golden mask and put it on his face, shouting: "Follow me!" Oh! "That's what he has already prepared, as the second young master of Wangshun Pavilion, he still needs to hide his identity for the time being, the situation in Zhangjiakou is chaotic, and if he is not careful, he will leave someone behind.

"Oh!" The horse thieves raised their arms and shouted, whether willingly or pretendedly.

Count the one hundred and eighteen \u5 in the valley

2ooo

341 Two horse thieves, Zhai Zhe did not dare to make a big move for the time being, and ordered Meng Kang to guard the valley mouth, preparing to spend his first night in the old horse thief camp.

At night, the style is big, blowing in the mountains and forests, Zhai Zhe, Xiao Zhiyan and others almost did not sleep peacefully throughout the night, the blade has been carried closely, and the four guards are not undressed, until the bright light of the early morning shines through the window, Zhai Zhe is relieved.

The life of a horse thief was as usual, most of the people were still asleep when Zhai Zhe went out, and a few old and infirm people were preparing breakfast. The lit wood was blazing, and steam was enveloping the iron pot.

Meng Kang also returned from Taniguchi, yawning as he went, and looked like he hadn't slept well last night.

"The puppies haven't gotten up yet! Is the little brother in this valley still getting used to it? Meng Kang greeted Zhai Zhe with a big grin, maybe he didn't think Zhai Zhe would stay here forever.

Zhai Zhe shrank back and said, "It's a little cold, gather everyone over after breakfast!" ”

"Okay!"

It's really cold in the valley, and it's a place to take shelter from the icy north wind, but it also doesn't allow the sun to fully shine until mid-morning.

After a night of relief, the deterrent effect of the death of the Drill Eagle slowly dissipated, and some people looked at Zhai Zhe and the others with a strange look, they were not willing to be led by an outsider.

"Do you see that plank?" Zhai Zhe stood in the middle of the horse thief and pointed to a log card about seventy paces away from him, about the size of a small bowl, which was the target he had prepared.

"Whoever can stand here and shoot that wooden sign, the silver ingot will belong to him!" He opened the wooden box beside him, took out a silver ingot from it, and tossed it in his hand. That's twenty-five taels of silver ingots, which is almost the income of an ordinary family in the Ming Dynasty for two years.

The horse thieves whispered, and no one came forward for a long time.

"Two silver ingots!" Zhai Zhe's amplified voice, "Two silver ingots in the first one!" ”

The noise among the horse thieves has become louder.

A young man in a blue robe, a Chinese face, and a somewhat scorched head jumped out of the crowd and asked, "If I win, can I take these two silver ingots and leave the cottage?" ”

Meng Kang was furious and stood up and said, "Che Feng, you are too much!" ”

Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand to signal Meng Kang to calm his anger, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "This competition was originally only for people in the cottage, you think you can give it a try if you have this ability." Two silver ingots are nothing in my eyes, and if you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay. ”

Che Feng took off the bow on his back and pulled it first, tried the string, walked to a distance of ten steps away from Zhai Zhe, slowly opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow hit the wooden sign eighty steps away.

"Good!" Cheers erupted.

Zhai Zhe also clapped his hands, motioned to the guards around him to take out two ingots of silver, and shouted to the car wind: "It's yours!" ”

Che Feng came over and took out a leather bag and put it on his waist. All kinds of envy and jealousy were focused on him alone, and the scene quieted down suddenly, Diamond Eagle had never given such a big reward to his subordinates.

Zhai Zhe glanced down at the wooden box, and then shouted: "There are eight silver ingots, whoever wins one more will be rewarded!" Prizes are available until play. ”

There is a car in front, everyone is bolder, more and more horse thieves are eager to try, and there are constantly people who come out to try, some hit the target to take away the silver ingot, and there are also those who do not exit in everyone's laughter, and the atmosphere gradually relaxes in the laughter and scolding.

After the car wind took the silver, he retreated to the sunny hillside not far away, and watched quietly.

The horse thieves wandering in the steppe competed with the Mongols all year round, and their archery skills were indeed good, and five of the eight silver ingots were taken away in less than an hour.

Seeing that no one came up to try again, Zhai Zhe glanced at Xiao Zhiyan.

Xiao Zhiyan walked to the valley with a gold-painted longbow in his hand, and the crowd immediately quieted down, Zhang Er died in the hands of this person, and he knew that Xiao Zhiyan was going to show everyone a hand.

Xiao Zhiyan turned his back to the wooden sign and slowly moved his steps, as if he was measuring the distance. It is getting farther and farther away from the wooden card, about thirty steps away from Zhai Zhe, Xiao Zhiyan stopped, took the arrow and twisted his head to take the bow in one go, and an arrow was like a meteor catching the moon in the middle of the \u977 a hundred steps away

6 hearts.

There was silence in the valley, and everyone stood on the spot with their eyes stared.

I don't know who muttered in a low voice: "A hundred steps through Yang!" ”

"A hundred steps through Yang!" There was a roar.

The wind on the hillside reached out and scratched the scorched mess, and his face was full of disbelief.

Of course, a hundred steps through the poplar are not counted, after all, the wooden target is much larger than the poplar leaves, but Xiao Zhiyan's archery technique should also be called a magic skill.

Zhai Zhe lost no time in standing up and shouted: "We are full of talents in the cottage, why worry about not having a good future!" "The atmosphere among the horse thieves is boiling again.

First lure Shuxin with profit, and then dominate the audience with skills, there is no better time than this. Zhai Zhe immediately ordered, take out the prepared lots, and ordered the horse thieves to take out one each, and the people in the cottage were divided into ten teams, eighteen people were one team, and the six people who had just taken the silver ingots with high archery were the team members, and the rest of the teams were screened by guò strength and martial arts, and only those who could use it.

The car wind was lively in front of him on the hillside, and he also squeezed into the crowd and took a lot and returned to the same place, Zhai Zhe saw him from a distance, walked to his side, and said with a smile: "If you want to go, you don't need to draw lots, go out of the mountain now, I will never embarrass you!" ”

Che Feng fell to his knees and said, "The villain doesn't want to go anymore!" ”

Zhai Zhe hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Everyone in the cottage is a brother!" You want to stay, I can't ask for it! ”

"Are you a Mongol?" Zhai Zhe was curious about the color of his head and couldn't help but ask.

Che Feng was a little sad and said: "My father is Han Chinese, and my mother is Tumut!" All of them are dead, and the iron riders of Chahar are down! ”

The Tumut people have been sinicized for a long time, and there are many Han girls who marry Mongolians, but it is really uncommon for Mongolian women to marry Han people, which shows that Che Feng's father is also a capable person.

Zhai Zhe patted him on the shoulder and said, "You just stay by my side!" "It can be seen from the appearance of everyone when Che Feng went into battle that his status in this team is not high, and he is about to promote such a capable person.

For three days in a row, the horse thieves in the valley competed in martial arts and horsemanship, competing for the remaining positions. There is rice and meat in the valley, and occasionally you can drink a little wine, and everyone's feelings gradually subside, even if there are a few people with ghosts in their hearts, they can only hide their thoughts first.

Seeing that the situation in the cottage had been decided, Zhai Zhe ordered the four guards with him to go back to the Zhangjiakou market first. These people are all cronies of the Zhai family, it is impossible to be a horse thief, and after returning to Zhangjiakou, there is still a heavy responsibility to pass on the news to him. Besides, those are just his eldest brother Zhai Tang's cronies, and he doesn't want to stay by his side all the time.
