In fact, there is not much preparation for moving, except for some belongings of the people themselves, the most important thing is the gold and silver worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. According to the agreement between Wang Kunjun and Zhong Yuanwai, on the first day of December, Zhong Shiwen came to Yuxu Palace with five carriages and six or seven horses. After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they began to deploy the vehicles. The number of cars on which something should be placed, the number of cars on which someone should sit or the number of horses that someone should ride, are all arranged one by one. After tossing all morning, after confirming that there was nothing missing, everyone went to lunch steadily.

On the second day of December, although the sky was a little gloomy, all the people in the Yuxu Palace still got up early and began to prepare for the move step by step. You Yuan and the four members of the committee opened the door of the temporary warehouse, and according to the arrangement of the previous day, the people carried the gold and silver inside and the various equipment from modern times sealed inside to the car one by one. For the sake of secrecy, everything was loaded by the traverser himself. And in the process of loading the car, those coachmen of the Zhong family and the little Taoist children of the Yuxu Palace were arranged to rest or do their homework to ensure that they were not present.

And Yu Xuzi, Zhong Shiwen and Qingchen, who were fortunate enough to stay at the scene, had no interest in those yellow and white things. They were concerned about the strange objects they couldn't name and couldn't understand their purpose. The items they had never heard of and seen made them a little fascinated by them, and they didn't even notice the fluttering snowflakes falling.

Yuxuzi didn't notice that it was already snowing, and the people who were working hard didn't pay much attention to the scattered snowflakes at first. It wasn't until the scattered small snow particles turned into large snowflakes that they attracted everyone's attention. Yu Xuzi looked up at the sky, which was more gloomy than when he first got up, and the snowflakes that were fluttering, and said to Wang Kunjun with some worry: "Senior brother, looking at the sky, the snow is estimated to be unstoppable for a while, I'm afraid your trip today will be affected." ”

When Wang Kunjun heard this, he also stopped, looked up, and replied worriedly: "What the senior brother said is extremely true. The heavy snow that fell a few days ago has not yet cleared, and this is another one, but I am afraid that the road into the city will be difficult to pass. If the snow doesn't stop this afternoon, maybe our move will be postponed. ”

Zhang Weixin next to him comforted: "This may be providence, God feels that we have a deep affection for our senior brother and wants us to stay for a few more days." Actually, it doesn't matter if we're a few days early or a few days late. At most, when the snow is a little lighter, I will send a skilled rider to the two houses to inform them, so that they will not be in a hurry. ”

Now this situation has to be resigned to fate, who let there be no weather forecast in this era. Seeing that the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, everyone stopped what they were doing and went back to the room to hide from the snow. As for the things that have already been carried into the car, put them in the car for the time being, and if the snow is still heavy in the afternoon, then you can take the things down again.

To the disappointment of the traversers, not only did the snowflakes not stop, but after they had lunch, they became heavier and heavier, which can really be called goose feather snow. If we continue like this, not only will we not be able to leave today, but I am afraid that there will be no hope for three or four days. At this point, everyone is not in a hurry. Considering that everyone's riding skills are basically very poor, the reason why I say basically is because the Mongolian Muttel riding skills are still very good, but because he hasn't left the Yuxu Palace since he crossed the battle, he doesn't know the road at all, so Zuihou still set off from the dust and snow, and went to the two houses to inform the news of the change in the moving time here. Others sprang into action again, removing the luggage that had worked so hard to carry to the car in the morning.

It's just that it's easy to move this thing up, but it's hard to move it down. At this time, the snow on the ground is already very thick, and it is inevitable that everyone will slip under their feet when moving things, especially those who have not participated in the practice of martial arts, and they will walk unsteadily and fall on their heels more than once. Every time someone falls, it will attract a burst of laughter from everyone, and it will also make people feel comfortable and happy.

Among them, the worst one was Song Feiyang, who was carrying a wooden box containing five hundred taels of silver, and he was originally walking well. Later, I saw Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei falling to the ground because they didn't cooperate well when they were carrying, and hahadaxiao, who was in schadenfreude, turned out to be very happy and sad, and he slipped under his feet and fell on his back with his face facing the sky. The box on his shoulder was also thrown on the ground, and it fell to pieces, and the silver ingots inside rolled to the ground. Seeing him fall to the ground and grinning his teeth, everyone burst into laughter, and Zhao Dawei even shouted, "Let you laugh at others, you will suffer retribution." ”

However, it is estimated that this time Seinfeld fell not lightly, and this guy fell to the ground for half a day and didn't get up. Everyone hurriedly stopped laughing at him, and stepped forward to ask him if he really broke it. Lin Xiaoyu rubbed him a few times, and saw that he was in a lot of pain, so she suggested that he be sent to Yu Xuzi immediately, she felt that she was much more experienced in dealing with this kind of bruises and injuries than Yu Xuzi. Zuihou or Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei walked over to help him up, and then limped to find Yu Xuzi for treatment.

After a while, Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei came back and told everyone that Xiao Song was nothing serious, but this fall was more serious, and he stumbled his waist, and Yu Xuzi was massaging him, and it would be fine in a while. Knowing that Seinfeld was fine, everyone was relieved and continued to do the work at hand. The silver ingots that had been scattered on the ground were also collected and found in new boxes to be contained.

After working for a long time, I finally moved everything back to the warehouse. The vehicles and horses were also settled, and everyone went to Yu Xuzi to see Song Feiyang's situation, and saw that he had no major problems under Yu Xuzi's treatment, so Fan and Zhao helped him back to his room to rest. The others went back to their rooms to rest and chat, hoping that the snow would stop sooner so that they could finish moving as soon as possible.

God seemed to be deliberately trying to oppose the crossers, and the heavy snow fell all night until the next morning. After waking up, the people who crossed the house, looking at the thick snow on the roof and the ground, knew that they would not be able to move in the short term. Fortunately, everyone is not in a hurry at this time, anyway, the two houses will not run away from them, and it doesn't matter if they move early or late. Not only that, but the white snow aroused everyone's childlike interest, and they ran to the courtyard to build snowmen and have snowball fights. It's a lot of fun. ,

Just when the people were having fun in the Yuxu Palace, in the Juyi Dividing Hall of the Five Tiger Villages in Xiayunling, more than 20 miles away from here, Wei Caisi Wei of the Five Tiger Villages, who was in charge of the Five Tiger Villages, was sitting on the wide tiger skin chair, listening carefully to the reports of his subordinates to him on the situation he had found yesterday. There is also a chair on his left and right, and his two sworn brothers, Liu Wanbao and Wu Xinji, are also listening attentively to every word of the spy at this time.

On the opposite side of the three, a long, thin, withered, somewhat wet spy stood in the middle of the hall in a formal manner, reporting in a slightly hoarse voice. I heard him say: "The big boss, his subordinates can see it clearly." Among the luggage carried by those Taoist priests were many wooden boxes, and the weight was not light. One of the Taoist priests accidentally fell in the process of moving the box, and the box in his hand was broken, and all that rolled out of it were large pieces of silver ingots. The subordinates estimated that the box of ingots was at least five hundred taels. And there were at least a hundred such chests, and they would have cost fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, the other big and small leaders standing in the hall immediately came to their senses, some began to talk to each other, and some looked eager. Although Wei Caisi, who was sitting on it, did not speak, nor did he show any expression, Liu Wanbao, the second master sitting next to him, saw the light of greed in the eyes of his eldest brother. His heart couldn't help but sink, he knew the meaning of his eldest brother very well - his eldest brother was really tempted by this deal, and all the persuasion work he had done before was probably in vain.

The reason why this Liu Er's boss did not agree to do this deal was not because he found out in his conscience and didn't want to do this kind of hurtful thing anymore. He had done a lot of robbing villages and robbing merchants before, and this time he persuaded his eldest brother to give up this business because he was afraid of the strength of these Taoist priests.

At the beginning, Shi Feibao, the younger brother of the "Liangxiang Tiger", and Ding Hechang, who had only been in the cottage for a short time, came to report this financial route to them, and he persuaded his eldest brother to think twice. One is that those bull noses are by no means idle, Shi Feihu was folded in their hands at the beginning - he never believed the statement that Shi Feihu died at the hands of the county government to catch Kuai. Second, although this Shi Feibao himself has never talked about it, he has received news from other sources that Shi Feihu was killed by those bull noses with Taoist magic weapons. According to rumors, that kind of magic weapon is huge, killing people more than 100 steps away is invisible, there is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it, no matter how high your martial arts are, there is only one way to die. Although the legend is not without exaggeration, it is by no means groundless and fabricated at will. It was precisely because of these concerns that he expressed his opposition to Shi Feibao's first speech to his eldest brother, believing that Shi and Ding's statements were mostly speculative and not credible. You should act safely, and you can't easily make enemies of the Jade Void Palace. At that time, the eldest brother also nodded in agreement, saying that he would think twice.

What Liu Wanbao didn't expect was that the eldest brother didn't really give up this idea. On the surface, he did not accept Shi and Ding's suggestion to go down the mountain immediately, but secretly sent the "grass flying" who was responsible for stepping on the plate and exploring the news to the Yuxu Palace to find out. And the situation brought back by this "flying on the grass" is tantamount to the holy decree of sending troops to his eldest brother, and the temptation of tens of thousands of gold and silver treasures to him is likely to exceed the fear of the other party's strength. Liu Wanbao knew very well that it would be quite difficult for him to persuade him to change his mind at this time.

Thinking of this, he had to find a way to understand the details of the other party, hoping to find new reasons to dissuade the eldest brother. So, he asked "Flying on the Grass": "You really see clearly, there are really as many as 50,000 or 60,000?" ”

The "flying on the grass" saw the question of the second master, and hurriedly hugged his fist to Liu Wanbao and saluted: "Back to the second master, the small one is true." The little one dares to vouch for his own head, only more than this number, not less than this number. ”

Liu Wanbao nodded, and asked again, "Have you found out how many Taoist priests there are in the Jade Void Palace?" In your judgment, how many of these people are good at martial arts? ”

"Flying on the grass" thought for a moment and said: "Back to the second master, the small one has probably counted, and the Taoist priests in the Yuxu Palace should be more than fifty. According to Xiao's judgment, nine out of ten of them will be martial arts, and the level is not low. ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Wanbao frowned and thought: There are more than 50 people, more than 40 of them know martial arts, and the level is not low, this is a difficult opponent. Although there are more than 500 minions on his side, there are not many who really have some kung fu, and they usually rely mainly on winning with more. This time, I want them to deal with opponents with strong martial arts, I don't know if these minions dare to risk their lives. If they are cowardly in the face of the enemy, it is not a question of whether they can get rich or not, and if they don't do it, they may have to lose all their possessions.

Thinking of these possible consequences, Liu Wanbao gritted his teeth, and finally clenched his fist to his eldest brother and said, "Big brother, little brother thinks it's ......"

But Wei Caisi obviously knew very well what he was going to say, so before he could say the following words, he had already raised his hand to stop him and said, "Now that the truth has been discovered, then the fat on the side of his mouth can't let him run away." Those Taoist priests may have some skills, but there is nothing to fear. Not only does our side have an absolute advantage in numbers, but it is also an unintentional attack that is unintentional, and it is difficult to resist those bulls' noses in a hurry. I have thought about this matter again and again, and now I have made up my mind, and I have made up my mind for this transaction of the Jade Void Palace. ”

After speaking, he paused, and seeing that Liu Wanbao did not insist on dissuasion, he ordered: "There was a heavy snowfall yesterday, and those bull noses must not leave the Jade Void Palace before the snow melts, this is our opportunity." The brothers had a good day's rest and a good night's sleep. Tomorrow afternoon, except for 200 people left to guard the cottage, everyone else will go to Yuxu Palace with me. Let's attack after dark and take him by surprise. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the leaders below, and continued: "After this deal is done, I, Wei Caisi, will not treat everyone badly, and when the time comes, it will be absolutely indispensable to reward meritorious deeds." And with these tens of thousands of gold and silver, we can enjoy happiness in the cottage comfortably this winter, and we don't have to brave the wind and snow to do those business that don't have much oil and water. ”,

As soon as these words came out, all the leaders below were overjoyed, and they all expressed their loyalty and fighting spirit, and they were very happy. Shi Feibao and Ding Youchang, the initiators of this incident, were even more overjoyed, and they couldn't wait for Wei Caisi to send troops to destroy those bull noses now.

At this time, a small leader asked while being happy: "Big boss, since these bull noses will leave the Jade Void Palace in a few days, why don't we wait for them to start on the road after they leave the Taoist Temple?" At that time, they didn't have a house as a barrier, wouldn't it be easier for us to get it? ”

Wei Caisi waved his hand and said, "This method is not appropriate. Although their defense ability will be reduced after they leave the Taoist temple, because they are carrying a huge amount of money, their security will be higher, which is not conducive to our surprise attack. Besides, our cottage is far away from the Yuxu Palace and the official road into the city, if you want to rob and kill on the road, you must ambush in advance. And in the past few days of heavy snowfall, they will naturally delay the time of moving, and we can't get accurate information about when they will leave the Taoist temple, and how to ambush in advance when the time comes. We can't just pull people down the mountain to guard it now, so that we don't have to kill those cow noses, and we will have to freeze to death, so it's better to take advantage of them in the Taoist temple. ”

When the little leader heard this, he knew that he had thought things too poorly, so he didn't talk much.

Wu Xinji, who had not spoken, opened his mouth at this time, and said lazily: "Big brother, who are you going to leave to guard the cottage this time?" ”

As soon as Wei Caisi heard what he said, he already understood what he meant. This kid is afraid that those bull-nosed martial arts in the Jade Void Palace are strong, and it will be dangerous to go, so he wants to stay in the cottage. Looking at the listless appearance of this youngest brother-in-law, I felt a little annoyed with him, but after all, he was his brother, and he had promised the third brother to take good care of him, and it was not easy to save his face as a subordinate. Therefore, he suppressed the disgust in his heart and replied: "The stockade is naturally guarded by your fourth brother, and it will be fine." ”

Wu Xinji obviously didn't see the eldest brother's dissatisfaction with him, but instead had a disapproving expression and said: "The eldest brother said this differently, the fourth brother is bedridden now, how can he keep this cottage." ”

As soon as he said this, the disgust in Wei Caisi's heart turned into annoyance, and he said in his heart, if it wasn't for your kid who was greedy for life and afraid of death a few days ago and fled without a fight, how could the fourth brother be seriously injured by the enemy and still be bedridden. However, anger is anger, but now is not the time to vent, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "In the opinion of the fifth brother, who should be left to protect the cottage?" ”

Wu Xinji was waiting for his words, and hurriedly continued: "This cottage is still guarded by the younger brother." The eldest brother and the second brother just go down the mountain to make a fortune, and the younger brother will keep this cottage tight. ”

Wei Caisi saw that he really had this plan, and he couldn't hold back the fire a little, so he wanted to attack on the spot. At this time, Liu Wanbao, the second master, saw that the eldest brother was about to get angry, so he hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Big brother, the big thing is important, I think let the fifth brother guard the village." In addition, I will leave Erxing and Xiaoliu behind to assist the fifth brother, what does the eldest brother think? ”

Although Wei Caisi wanted to teach his fifth brother a lesson, he finally accepted Liu Wanbao's suggestion, after all, at this time, the disagreement between the brothers would greatly damage the morale of his subordinates. Wu Xinji didn't realize that the second brother was helping him at all, but was a little dissatisfied with him leaving two henchmen, thinking that the second brother didn't believe in his ability, so he wanted to argue a few more words. As a result, just as he was about to speak, he was choked back by Wei Caisi's sentence "It's so decided". Although this guy was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to openly reason with his eldest brother, so he had to reluctantly accept it.
