Volume 3 Chapter 51 Up the Mountain
Zhou Qian paused, and then said,
"I heard them say that there is a group of mountain bandits in the mountains of Lucheng, and they will often go to the homes of merchants in Lucheng to rob, yesterday I heard from the people in the city that their second boss is called Zhou Tai, and I suspect that he may be my younger brother."
"Your brother?"
Yang Fan had never learned about Zhou Qian's family situation, so naturally he didn't know that Zhou Qian actually had a younger brother.
"Does your brother play games too? Did he come into this world too? ”
Zhou Qian glanced at Yang Fan with a complicated expression and said,
"I don't know if he's been here or not, but he also plays the fairy game, and I suspect he's just like me, and he's also entered this world."
Yang Fan nodded thoughtfully, and continued,
"No problem, your brother is my brother-in-law, if it's really him, I will definitely let him return to you."
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Qian's face, and she looked at Yang Fan with a happy face.
Yang Fan laughed twice, but the expression on his face froze.
Zhou Qian noticed Yang Fan's abnormality and asked again,
"You, are you worried about anything, if it's difficult, don't force it."
Yang Fan's expression became complicated, but after thinking about it, he still took out Li Yuan's alliance letter and the marriage letter for his next marriage.
Yang Fan didn't speak, but just put these things in front of Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian took the letter in Yang Fan's hand, first glanced at the alliance book, looked at the contents of the book, and said with a smile,
"Isn't it a good thing that you have formed an alliance with Li Shimin and their army, why are you unhappy!"
However, when she saw the following content, Zhou Qian's expression suddenly dimmed, and then she picked up the marriage letter, but she didn't open it for a long time.
She tilted her gaze to the side, and there was no look on her face.
Yang Fan paused and said first,
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this, Li Yuan was afraid that I would have bad intentions, so he actually took his daughter as a hostage, I ......"
Zhou Qian still didn't speak, but from her expression, you could see at a glance what she was thinking!
Yes, what woman would want to share her man with others.
"Forget it, I won't conclude this alliance, forgive him Li Yuan, no matter how many people there are, I won't be afraid of him!"
Yang Fan sighed and said it anyway.
Zhou Qian's body twitched, and finally spoke,
"The battlefield is not a matter of affection between children and daughters, it is not something we can control, I don't mind sharing you with other women, as long as you have me in your heart, I will be content."
Zhou Qian said duplicitously, no one could understand the sadness in her heart.
Yang Fan didn't understand anything, but he still said,
"Don't worry, Li Yuan and I are only temporarily allied, and it is not clear how it will be in the later stage, not to mention that I heard that Li Yuan's youngest daughter Li Weiyang is only 16 years old, I want to make this marriage agreement for the time being, and I will find a way to cancel it later, you believe me!"
Yang Fan said what he thought in his heart, and Zhou Qian smiled, but did not speak.
She knows that with the passage of time, her face will never be as good as a budding flower bag, and there are very few men who can truly be loyal.
……
The next morning, Yang Fan got up early, ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses in the lieutenant's camp, and took Zhou Qian to Mount Tai in Lucheng!
Mount Tai is famous and Taiyue is one of the five mountains,
It is also regarded as the paradise of "straight to the emperor's seat", and has become the sacred mountain that the people worship in the past dynasties and sacrifices to the emperor, there is an ancient saying, "Mount Tai is safe, and the four seas are safe".
Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, there have been several emperors in turn to climb Mount Tai to seal Zen or worship, the mountain left more than 20 ancient buildings, more than 2,200 stone inscriptions, it can be seen how important the status of Mount Tai in people's minds is.
Mount Tai mountains are stacked on top of each other, at this time in the city of Lu near Mount Tai, thousands of soldiers and horses are marching towards the mountain.
Along the mountain road, you can see the pavilion temple built at the top of the mountain, taking advantage of this mountaineering road, Yang Fan took the opportunity to take a good look at Confucius's favorite Dongyue first mountain.
However, just as the army was halfway up the mountain, a group of mountain bandits wearing red turbans and coarse linen clothes rushed down!
There are a lot of mountain bandits, there will be so many, Yang Fan thought that there were only a few hundred people, so he symbolically brought 5,000 people over to strengthen the force, but he didn't expect it to be far beyond his budget, Yang Fan roughly estimated that the number of these mountain bandits was at least more than 2,000 people.
However, in the mountains and forests, Yang Fan did not deliberately arrange troops, but walked up the mountain in a long serpentine shape, and suddenly encountered so many mountain bandits to attack, and he couldn't dodge it immediately.
"Brothers, kill me!"
The mountain bandits roared and swarmed from top to bottom, but even if they occupied the upper hand, they were all stragglers, and they couldn't compete with the elite soldiers led by Yang Fan at all.
Suddenly, the two men and horses clashed together, and everywhere you could see the light of swords and swords, as well as the sound of shouting and shouting and screaming.
Suddenly, a guy wearing a green turban, similar to the leader of a mountain bandit, the man had big shoulders and a round waist, but he was not tall, and he was holding a large mountain axe in his hand, but the mountain axe was actually double-sided, and there were many striped lines, which looked more like a totemic pattern.
Suddenly the man shouted at the top of his voice,
"I planted this tree, I opened this road, you officers and soldiers want to go up the mountain, pay the money to buy the road first, otherwise don't blame me Cheng Biting Jin for being unkind to you!"
Hearing the leader say this, Yang Fan was instantly surprised, and hurriedly commanded those subordinates,
"Don't hurt this person, it's better to capture me alive!"
Yang Fan never thought that he would meet the famous Cheng Yanjin here, and he wondered a little in his heart, shouldn't this product be in Wagangzhai, why did he go to Lucheng to become a mountain bandit again?
However, Yang Fan didn't realize that although those mountain bandits were uneven, most of the mountain bandits were still well-trained, and these mountain bandits were robbers on the surface, but in fact, they were probably soldiers before.
"Young master, this thief is so powerful, we are at a disadvantage now, it's not a way to fight like this, do you want me to go to the city and bring some rescuers?"
It was Yang Fan's newly acquired Lucheng defender, Wu Jiancheng, Wu Jiancheng and Cheng Yanjin fought for a while just now, but it was obvious that the other party's physical strength was much stronger than Wu Jiancheng, so he had to retreat.
Yang Fan waved his hand and said,
"There's no need, it's just two thousand mountain bandits, so many of me can still be afraid that I can't beat him, who has a gun and spear, borrow me to use it, I'll meet this guy!"
Wu Jiancheng didn't guess that Yang Fan also knew marksmanship, originally thought that Yang Fan just knew a little bit of tactics and strategies, and immediately nodded with relief at this moment,
"Okay young master, I'll get it for you!"
