After a period of discussion, Ye Zheng and the villagers of Niujia Village felt that if they wanted to go up the mountain to become a bandit, they first had to find a good mountain, set up camp, and settle down the old and weak women and children, and then go to the big thing of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

At this time, Ye Zheng asked everyone: "The most important thing at present is to go into the mountains and forests, find a cave with a secret and safe place to live, and let everyone stabilize first, because it won't be long before the government will send troops to arrest us, and we must solve this problem before the government finds us." ”

Hearing Ye Zheng say this, everyone nodded, and began to think about their memories, to see what places are more suitable for them to live and hide near Qingshan Town.

At this time, Niu Dafu, who is highly respected and well-informed, said: "I know that there is a stone rock peak near the black bear ditch, where the terrain is complex and secluded, and there are many huge rocks on the top of the mountain, and there are many stone caves, otherwise, let's hide there for the time being, and then set up camp again after finding a good mountain in the future?"

Ye Zheng didn't immediately express his stance when he heard this, but just asked the others to see if they had any opinions.

Niu Sanyan heard Niu Dafu mention Shi Yan Peak, and nodded again and again: "Shi Yan Peak is indeed a rare place to live for now, and there is enough water there, which is indeed suitable for us to live temporarily, I think it's okay." ”

Several other experienced hunters, they also feel that Shiyan Peak is a good place to hide, not only is there enough water, but what is more reassuring is that it is located next to the Black Bear Ditch, and it is located at the junction of Qingjiang County and Lincang County, the terrain is dangerous and rugged, if ordinary people are not very familiar with the terrain, it is difficult to find there, so if everyone hides there, it is indeed difficult for the people of the government to find them.

Ye Zheng saw that everyone agreed to go to Nashiyan Peak, and he didn't say anything at the moment, and after nodding, he asked everyone to pack up some simple and urgent materials, and prepare to move into the mountain towards Nashiyan Peak.

Just when everyone was about to leave for Shiyan Peak, suddenly, a big man came to Ye Zheng's side with the support of Niu Sanyan, saying that he had something to discuss with everyone.

Ye Zheng took a look and found that this person was covered in injuries and bloodstained clothes, he was none other than Niu Tiezhu, the eldest brother of Niu Three-eyed, Ye Zheng was curious at the moment, I don't know what this Niu Tiezhu has to say to everyone at this time, so he asked loudly.

"It turned out to be Brother Niu Tiezhu, during my time in Niujia Village, I have heard the villagers in the village mention you, I don't know what Brother Niu wants to say to everyone this time. ”

Hearing Ye Zheng's question, Niu Dafu and some other more prestigious old hunters looked at Niu Tiezhu, their eyes full of doubts, and they seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his appearance now to interrupt the migration of people in the village.

Niu Tiezhu looked at the surrounding villagers, and then stared at Ye Zheng and said, "Although I have no objection to entering the mountain to become a bandit, I don't approve of us standing on our own mountain and migrating to Shiyan Peak now." ”

Hearing him say this, Ye Zheng and the villagers were stunned for a moment, obviously a little puzzled by his opposition.

After a pause, Niu Tiezhu continued: " Everyone should know that our Qingshan is a branch of this desolate mountain range, in the nearby mountains, there are many bandits and horse bandits, no less than dozens of large and small mountain names, just these people in our Niujia Village, the old and weak, women and children have, they are weak, and they are easy to be oppressed and annexed by them, and we don't have any weapons now, except for a few kitchen knives and axes for chopping wood, basically we can't even see a decent iron blade, and if we encounter a siege by our peers and officers and soldiers, we don't even have the strength to resist, and sooner or later it will be over。 Moreover, more importantly, we now have a large group of people, who need to eat and drink, and it is difficult to sustain ourselves if we only rely on hunting in the mountains, so if we want to survive now, we must take refuge in a group of relatively powerful mountain bandits, and our life and safety will be guaranteed by joining them. ”

After hearing his words, everyone fell into deep thought.

Ye Zheng felt that Niu Tiezhu's concern was not unreasonable, and he thought for a moment and asked: "What Brother Niu said is reasonable, so what should we take refuge in the nearby mountain now? However, among the seventy people like us, there are nearly half of the old and weak women and children, and we don't know which group of mountain bandits will accept our refuge." ”

Niu Tiezhu saw that Ye Zheng agreed with his thoughts, and immediately felt very happy in his heart, and said: "Ordinary mountain bandit forces will definitely not accept our refuge, after all, there are many old and weak women and children in our Niujia Village, and accepting us will undoubtedly add a lot of burden to them for no reason, but I know that there is a place where they will definitely accept our refuge." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they couldn't help but ask in unison, "Where is it?"

"Fengmingling!"

"Ah...... It turns out that you are talking about the Feifeng Village in Fengmingling!"

Ye Zheng saw that after everyone in Niujia Village heard about this Fengmingling, they were all moved, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said in his heart What kind of place is that Fengmingling, why are everyone so surprised after hearing it, and he hurriedly asked: "What is the origin of this Feifengzhai, it actually surprised everyone so much." ”

At this time, Niu Tiezhu smiled and patiently explained: "Feifeng Village on Fengming Ridge, in the entire Cangliang Mountain Range, are famous, it is one of the three strongest mountain bandits in Cangliang Mountain, I heard that in the Feifeng Village, there are no less than 1,000 heroes, there are many warrior masters who are proficient in martial arts in the village, especially their leader Deng Sanniang, is a master of superb martial arts and superior strength, it is said that her strength has reached the peak of the fifth-level martial arts, looking at the entire Canghuang Mountain, few can be her opponents. ”

"Deng Sanniang, how can you hear this name like a woman?" Ye Zheng asked curiously.

Niu Tiezhu nodded and said: "Brother Ye is right, then Deng Sanniang is indeed a woman, and I used to hear some friends in the green forest say that Deng Sanniang is not only strong in martial arts, but also a beautiful young woman." ”

Hearing that the bandit leader was a beautiful woman, Ye Zheng's curiosity became even heavier, and he asked: "Then I am even more strange, why is a beautiful woman with a thousand charms, why do you want to be the leader of the mountain bandits who plots to rebel and kill the head?"

Hearing Ye Zheng ask this, not only him, but even many people standing next to him were very curious, looking at Niu Tiezhu with blank eyes, wanting to hear him give the answer.

Niu Tiezhu smiled and said: "It is said that Deng Sanniang was originally the daughter of the owner of a big dart bureau in Qingjiang County, because her family was persecuted by the government, and her parents died unjustly in prison, so she later killed many enemies with hatred before she fled to this desolate mountain, relying on a superb martial arts, since then she has gathered a group of outlaws on the Fengming Ridge and started a business against the imperial court. ”

Ye Zheng didn't expect that Deng Sanniang's life experience would have such a legendary and extraordinary color, and suddenly, he greatly admired her courage and ability, and immediately high-fived and praised: "What a Deng Sanniang, what a strange woman, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows! ”

"Then we are going to Fengmingling now and take refuge in that Feifeng Village?" Niu Tiezhu's eyes flickered, and he was not sure that the people of Niujia Village would agree to his suggestion, so he had to scan Ye Zheng and the others, hoping to get everyone's consent.

Ye Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and as soon as he looked up, he saw everyone in Niujia Village looking at him, and couldn't help but mutter: "I think Brother Niu's suggestion is good, whether you want to go to Feifeng Village or not, everyone has the final say." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Niu Dafu, Niu Sanyan and other villagers, and shook his head again and again: "Brother Ye, you are too polite, you saved the lives of all the people in our village, and you have said that you can call the shots if there is something, and our Niujia Village will be the first to look forward to you." ”

Ye Zheng laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful." After speaking, Ye Zheng paused, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Okay, everyone listen, we are ready to leave for Fengmingling now!"
