Volume 2 The Traveler Patrols the Four Seas Chapter 126 Chihe Village Chapter (10)
Occupying the mountains as kings and falling grass as cowards is a common occurrence in countries with imperfect social systems and insufficient dominance, and it is also a story that often appears in novels, storytelling, and even wild histories. Although this situation is inseparable from the fault of the incompetence of those in power, in reality, officials like Shuibo Liangshan forced the people to rebel, so the situation of heroes gathering together to kill the rich and help the poor for heaven is really a minority, and most of them are just apocryphal.
The so-called heroes of the green forest are just a good name, and most of them are a cover for the way of heaven, and as for the saying of killing the rich and helping the poor, it is also worth scrutinizing. For mountain bandits, killing the rich should be what they are willing to do, but it is not necessary to help the poor. Taking a step back, even if they really kill the rich and help the poor, right? If you think it's right, then you are the 'poor' in it, so you are happy to see it, but what if you are the 'rich' in the story? It hurts just to think about it, doesn't it? If I have money, I will be damned if I provoke anyone?
So in the final analysis, these mountain bandits who occupy the mountains are basically a group of people with a ruthless temperament, who are unwilling or unable to do serious work, gather together to roar the mountains and forests, do evil, and there are too few people who are associated with praise such as 'heroes'.
Jiang Ling knew through the task prompt at the beginning that he would be on the same front as the mountain bandits in this battlefield, so he naturally couldn't help but feel a pain. However, from the mouth of the village chief, I heard that these mountain bandits still talked about some rules and showed mercy to the villagers, and from the actual actions of the three masters, it was seen that these mountain bandits did have some morality at all, so I relaxed a lot.
As mentioned before, Jiang Ling doesn't think that he is a good person, or that he is not so entangled in wanting to be a good person, but at least the moral bottom line is still there, and he is in cahoots with robbers who kill people and sell goods, which really makes him embarrassed. But since the robbers in Heiyang Village are not so unbearable, he will not go to the depths, as long as he is not allowed to slaughter civilians, he can still deal with the bandit team.
You can also say that this is just a game world, and the characters in it are just data, not real people, so why play with the concept of the real world. But Jiang Ling is a person with feelings, he didn't look at the ordinary game of "Heavenly Battle Field" on the spot, whether it was data or NPCs, but what he saw with his own eyes, he understood that the people here are flesh and blood, and compared to the real world, this is just another world one dimension lower.
So Jiang Ling still has to be himself, victory or defeat is important, life and death are more important, but they are not as good as being themselves, I think this is also the main reason why Jiang Ling still remains peaceful after knowing that he has a terminal illness.
Back to the story, Jiang Ling climbed Black Sheep Mountain with the young and beautiful French girl Leia, and the burly and strong fighting nation Khernov.
As expected, just before arriving at the gate of the camp, two minions jumped out, each with a steel knife, blocking the way, and one of them drank a standard line: "Stop, who is coming!?" ”
Jiang Ling smiled slightly and took a step forward, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "At the invitation of the third master, Lu Qingshan, I have come to visit the mountain gate, and I will trouble the little brother to report it." ”
"Oh?" When the two men heard the names of the three masters, they looked at each other, and the person who spoke earlier said, "Then who are you?" ”
Jiang Ling ignored the steel knife in front of him, took a step forward, and said, "Trouble little brother to report, just tell the three masters that there are three new friends who have come to visit, and the three of us can wait here." ”
Without waiting for the man to speak, Jiang Ling stretched out his hand and handed over a silver coin.
The man took the silver coin quietly, then nodded with a smile, satisfied with Jiang Ling's "understanding of the rules", and said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go and inform the third master." ”
Jiang Ling nodded slightly, although he felt a little sorry for his only remaining silver coin, but he also knew that it was inevitable, after all, as the old saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to mess with, and the little ghost is difficult, and in this case, it is really inconvenient not to throw a "stepping stone".
In the last copy of Qianfeng Town, Jiang Ling had more than a dozen copper plates left in his pocket, and he had no money to "bribe" the shopkeeper, and he didn't even have the money to pretend to have a meal, so he didn't get much useful information. Jiang Ling, who has been taught a lesson, is naturally smart, he knows that in this game world, money should not only be spent on himself, but also some should be left in case of emergency, such as sending away these "little ghosts" who are not strong and have no decisive impact on the plot, but have a great effect.
The effect of the silver money was immediate, but after a while, the little brother trotted back, waved his hand arrogantly and said, "The third master asked me to take you over." ”
The three of them naturally followed, walked into the gate of the camp, walked through a mountain road with simple wooden steps, and came to a flat land, the size of a football field, on which sat a few houses, which was the main area of the mountain bandits' activities.
It is not easy to "cut" such a large piece of flat power on the barren mountain, and it is enough to see from this that Heiyang Village still has some ability.
The three of them followed the little brother to the edge of a bluestone house in the northeast, and there were two other people guarding the door.
The doorkeeper brought here, greeted the two, and then turned back directly, he still had to stand guard.
And the two guards were both strong men with tigers on their backs, looked at Jiang Ling and the three of them coldly, and waved to let them enter the house.
Jiang Ling was not polite, and walked into the house first.
The room is not large, about 30 square meters, with only a bed, a cupboard, and a set of tables and chairs.
And the three masters with masks were sitting at the table, with a gray mask on his face, and through the holes in his eyes, he could be seen looking at Jiang Ling and the three.
Jiang Ling clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Hello to the three masters, the three of us have suddenly arrived, I hope it didn't disturb you." ”
There was a mask in the way, so naturally he couldn't see the expression of the three masters, he didn't get up, but he also bowed slightly in return, and then said hoarsely: "I'm waiting for you to come." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Ling was a little surprised and asked, "Why did the three masters say this." ”
The third master did not answer this question directly, but said calmly: "Although the three of you claim to be dart masters, you can see that this is a lie. ”
Jiang Ling didn't admit it, after all, there was also a suspicion that the three masters were cheating on them, Jiang Ling said without affirmation or denial: "Why do you want to say that? ”
Hearing that Jiang Ling did not answer positively, but threw a question back, the three masters raised their heads and looked into Jiang Ling's eyes, and Jiang Ling naturally saw the eyes of the three masters.
It was a pair of sharp eyes in the vicissitudes of life, and the hidden edge would not make people feel unhappy, but would only make people feel a little invisible coercion.
The moment Jiang Ling saw that pair of eyes, he knew that the cleverness in his words had not been hidden from the other party.
But Lu Qingshan still opened his mouth to answer Jiang Ling's question: "I have dealt with the dart master a lot. ”
The answer was very simple, but with his eyes, it was already very convincing, Jiang Ling did not ask any more questions, which could only be self-pleased. Jiang Ling's face did not change, and he smiled slightly: "We are indeed not dart masters, but how do you know that we will definitely go up the mountain?" ”
"Since you are not a dart master, and you have such strength and talent, coming to this poor country, I think it is going to our Black Sheep Mountain." Lu Qingshan said indifferently: "What's more, the moment I saw you, I found that you didn't look at me right." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ling and Hull still didn't understand it, but Leia was slightly stunned, and then said, "You are a Nian Master?" ”
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, Jiang Ling also understood a little, as a teacher, his senses are very keen, and he can observe the details, plus this Lu Qingshan is obviously a shrewd person, it is indeed not difficult to see some clues, after all, Jiang Ling and Leaher are three young people after all, and in front of this old fox, it is inevitable to show flaws.
Jiang Ling thought for a while and said: "Indeed, I admit that we are here for the Black Sheep Village, but I hope that the three masters will not misunderstand, we are not malicious." ”
"So I'm curious, what is there in this Black Sheep Mountain that is worth your visit?" Lu Qingshan stood up, glanced at the three people in front of him, and asked indifferently, "What's more, the timing of your arrival is not good." ”
Hearing Lu Qingshan say this, Jiang Ling thought that he should know that the bandit suppression team had already sent troops to Heiyang Mountain, and Jiang Ling replied, "That's why we are here. ”
"Oh?" Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Ling and said, "Make it clear." ”
"Looks like you're well aware of the news that the bandit squad has arrived." Jiang Ling naturally thought of his words before going up the mountain, and said with ease at this time: "For Black Sheep Mountain, there will be a bloody battle about to begin. ”
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "So? ”
"We're here to help you." Jiang Ling didn't wait for him to continue to ask questions, and then said, "It can also be said that I have come to cooperate with you, because we have a common enemy. ”
Lu Qingshan was silent for a moment before he said, "Who is your enemy?" ”
"As far as I know, there are three people in the bandit team, and they are the enemies of the three of us." Jiang Ling said: "Our target is the three of them, they have not had a chance to shoot before, and now they have joined the bandit team, we are even more inconvenient to start, but after that, it is difficult to have a chance to start, so we came to Heiyang Village, hoping to temporarily stand on the same front with Heiyang Mountain, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend." ”
Lu Qingshan slowly repeated: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, there is some truth, but... How can I believe what you say? ”
"What I say is true." Judging from the content, there is no problem with what Jiang Ling said, he spread his hands and said calmly: "As a Great Nian Master, the strength of the three of us, you must also be able to see it, but it is just three earthly transformation realms, how dare you play tricks in front of you." If you mistake us for being part of the bandits, you can keep an eye on us yourself. ”
Jiang Ling had a sincere look on his face, and in his heart, he silently reviewed the story made up by the three of them before, preparing to deal with Lu Qingshan's next further questions. The content is nothing more than that the three people in the bandit team had a battle with their own side half a year ago, killed their sworn brothers, and vowed to take revenge and never die.
Although the content of the fabrication is simple, like the plot of some low-quality novels, there are no loopholes, and Jiang Ling still thinks that if he can't be fooled, he will simply try his identity as Skywalker publicly.
To the surprise of the three players, Lu Qingshan didn't continue to ask, or even ask Jiang Ling's identities, but just said, "Come with me." ”
Lu Qingshan walked out of the house, the three players followed, and the two strong men guarding the door also wanted to catch up, but the three masters just waved their hands without looking back, and the two dispersed.
Lu Qingshan walked towards the mountain with three players, and the three players followed closely behind, because they already knew that Lu Qingshan was a great master, Jiang Ling and the three of them didn't even dare to whisper, so they could only barely use their eyes to signal.
Of course, this can't be like in the movie, the male protagonist can convey a complete set of battle plans with a look at the male number two, and for three people who don't know each other very well, the eye gesture is actually useless, at most it can convey information similar to "be careful", "What is this neat", "I want to", "What do you see".
Fortunately, Jiang Ling and Leia are relatively smart, and they have some rare tacit understanding, and the message conveyed by the eyes of the two people is very simple - this three-in-command is a big problem.
