Chapter 18 Verbal Sword

At the foot of Yuezhao Mountain, two minions stood straight like javelins, motionless, guarding the mountain gate. Don't look at this as a cottage where a group of thieves gather, but there are many mountain rules, and the implementation is even more meticulous, which is not much better than the army.

From time to time, the two minions looked at the road around them, paying attention to the wind and grass, but they were quite dutiful.

Suddenly, one of the minions' eyes narrowed, as if he had found something, pushed down his brother beside him, and raised his hand to the end of the road.

There, two figures flew by, and the speed was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for them to fly near the mountain gate.

This kind of lightning-fast skill is definitely not something that ordinary martial artists can have, and the two minions were shocked, and hurriedly cheered up, and held the blades in their hands tighter.

In a few moments, two figures stopped in front of the mountain gate, a young man with a sword and a beast of unknown origin. In the young man's hand, he carried a bloody cloth bag that smelled uncomfortably bloody.

It's Zhao Zheng and Bao!

"This little brother, dare to ask the name of the honorable person, what is the purpose of coming to this Yuezhao Mountain?" One of the minions asked politely. I had seen Zhao Zheng's supreme light skills before, how could he dare to be presumptuous.

"I'm just a nobody, not worth mentioning. The reason why I came here is to ask to see your Dazhai lord Zou Tianjin, and I ask you to go up and say hello. When you are in the ceremony, you remember to tell him that his wife Lu Xingyue is in my hands, lest he put on a big shelf and refuse to see me. Zhao Zheng said lightly.

"What?" The minion gasped, "The eldest lady is in your hand?" ”

"This has nothing to do with you, you just have to report as I say, and please move faster, if you swallow slowly, I will rush up by myself." Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said impatiently.

The stakes are very high, and Zhao Zheng's strength is quite good, the two minions did not dare to slack off, leaving one to look at Zhao Zheng, and the other ran up the mountain to report the news. The two mountain guards were obviously also martial arts, and the people who went up the mountain were extremely fast, and soon disappeared on the mountain road.

The rest of the people looked at Zhao Zheng and Ah Bao with strange expressions, especially after a few more glances at Ah Bao, probably wondering what kind of beast this was.

It didn't take long for there to be movement on the mountain road again, and a strong man with a tall figure flew down and landed at the foot of the mountain. This man is a strong man, tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back, with yellow hair, a leopard's head and eyes, and he is very strong. On his back is a "Yue Yue convenient chain shovel", this weapon is relatively rare, it is one of the five elements of the twenty-four road outside the weapon, the overall shape is like a shovel, connected by an iron rod, the head is the size of a basin, the end is extremely sharp, blowing hair and breaking hair is not a problem.

The strong man landed silently, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zheng, and shouted: "Bah! What is the origin of your little rabbit cub, why do you want to speak wildly, claiming to have captured the eldest lady of Benshan. ”

Zhao Zheng was also looking at the strong man, and recognized the identity of the strong man at first sight, this person's name is Lu Bao, nicknamed "The Little Demon King of the Mixed World", he is the second master of Yuezhao Mountain, he has the strength of the Eight Heavens, and he is not an easy person. If the timid person sees this menacing Lu Leopard, he is afraid that he will be scared to death.

"Lu Bao, don't yell in front of me, I know what you are. If you don't want your eldest lady to have an accident, just obediently retreat and let me go to see your big village master. If you're messing around with me here, don't blame me for being sinister. Zhao Zheng calmly threatened.

"Good boy, you dare to come here to spread wild, it's really angry with me, see me shoot you to death with a shovel first, and then lift your head to see the master of the village." Lu Bao's surname was like a fire, and he was furious, and he wanted to do it.

At this moment, a cheer came from the middle of the mountain: "Lu Leopard, and slow down!" The outsider is a guest, so please ask this little brother to go up the mountain to talk about it first. ”

The voice was loud, it turned out to be made by Zou Tianjin, the owner of the big village, and it was obvious that the minions had reached Zhao Zheng's words to his ears, so that he did not dare to slack off.

Lu Bao is a rough man, and he admires Zou Tianjin, the master of the village who is very civil, and after hearing this order, he forcibly suppressed his anger. He snorted heavily, flew back to the mountain, and before leaving, he dropped a sentence: "Little rabbit, if you have a kind, come up the mountain, and see that I don't eat you alive." ”

Zhao Zheng didn't care, he didn't bother to fight with Lu Bao, raised his hand and patted Ah Bao's hairy head melon, picked up the "gift" in his hand, strode up the steps, and walked up the mountain.

This moonlight mountain is majestic and precipitous, the mountain road is not short, on both sides of the mountain road, there are a lot of buildings built, as well as some "rolling wood stones". It can be seen that this is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is no second-rate master to help attack the mountain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed.

Zhao Zheng observed the situation on the mountain as he walked, remembering what he saw and heard in his heart, so that he could explore this place at night in the future. Although he was a human being in two lives, he was no stranger to this place, but the reality was a little different.

Halfway through, a minion who had been ordered greeted Zhao Zheng and led him to the top of the mountain, as for Zou Tianjin, Lu Bao and others, there was no trace, presumably they went to the top of the mountain first.

Under the guidance of the minions, Zhao Zheng finally arrived at the top of the mountain, where there is a square dug out by hand, and a righteous hall was built on the square, and a big flag with the words "Heaven and Earth Careless" was erected at the door of the hall, so it was not arrogant.

The big banner standing on Shuibo Liang Mountain reads "Walk for Heaven", while the big banner here reads "Heaven and Earth don't care", which shows the gap between the two in terms of ideological realm.

Zhao Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to these details, and strode into the righteous hall.

Sure enough, Zou Tianjin, Lu Bao and others all stayed in this righteous hall, waiting for Zhao Zheng to send him to the door. Zhao Zheng kept arresting Lu Xingyue, Zou Tianjin and the others naturally didn't give Zhao Zheng a look, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was solemn, overwhelming.

Zhao Zheng glanced at the situation in the hall, mainly taking a few more glances at the village owners opposite.

There are a total of five village owners in Yuezhao Mountain, and four village owners are present at this time, but only one is missing. The four owners of the village who were present were Danqing, the master of the big village. Zou Tianjin, the second village master mixed the world of the little devil. Lu Leopard, Sanzhai main thunderbolt. Wu Hao, Wuzhai master Xiao Zhuge . Chang Youcai.

As for the absent village owner, it is the four village owners, this person's surname is quite strange, very different from ordinary people, and it is normal to be absent.

The people who can occupy a place on Yuezhao Mountain are not ordinary people. Zou Tianjin, the owner of Dazhai, has a splendid chest, reads poetry and books, and is a very talented person. Lu Bao, the master of the second village, has outstanding martial arts and can be regarded as Zou Tianjin's right-hand man. Wu Chao, the master of Sanzhai, is proficient in mechanism ambush, Qimen Dunjia, and the rolling wood and stones on the mountain and many traps are all designed and built by him, and he has made great contributions. The strength of the four village masters is stronger than that of Zhilu Leopard, but the surname Ge is too strange and unbearable. Wuzhai Zhuchang is talented and civil, but he is not very good in both aspects, his stomach is full of bad water, and he often gives Zou Tianjin some bad ideas, which is a bit of a dog-headed military advisor.

Zhao Zheng wants to bring down Yuezhao Mountain, the main thing to deal with is these five people, as long as these five people are eradicated, Yuezhao Mountain will not be attacked, and the rabble under the five people is not to be afraid at all.

On the first seat at the end of the hall, Zou Tianjin squinted his eyes as cold as a knife, staring at Zhao Zheng and the blood-stained cloth bag, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Zheng. After a moment of silence, he broke his calm and said slowly: "I heard that you caught the?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Zhengdao.

"What can you prove?"

"I have a small gift here, not a tribute, but I hope to accept it with a smile. When you see this gift, you will understand that what I said is true. Zhao Zheng threw the cloth bag in his hand to the ground at random, and then flicked his fingers and used internal force to cut through the cloth bag.

Seeing Zhao Zheng's action, Na Lu Leopard immediately frowned, his eyes widened, and he obviously saw some doorways on Zhao Zheng's body.

The cloth bag fell to the ground and spread out, revealing the fresh human head wrapped inside!

The eyes of the human head, containing pain and horror, were staring at Zou Tianjin's face.

Several gasps rang out in the hall, and several people left their seats in shock, apparently not expecting the so-called gift to be a human head.

Immediately afterwards, someone recognized the identity of the head and pointed out the person's name. This is this thief who accompanied Lu Xingyue down the mountain before, and his head can directly prove that Lu Xingyue fell into the hands of Zhao Zheng.

Several of the surrounding bandits were angry, and they were about to capture Zhao Zheng, and the atmosphere became even more tense. Especially the Nalu leopard, he even grabbed the moon convenient chain shovel in his hand.

Zhao Zheng was not afraid of danger, and looked coldly at those bandits who were making a move.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Zou Tianjin stopped and shouted: "Everyone calm down, don't be in a hurry, now the matter is still unclear, if you do it rashly, aren't you afraid of killing my wife?" ”

Zou Tianjin Ping said that he was prestigious, and after drinking, the restless people retreated to their original positions, looking at Zhao Zheng with unkind expressions.

"Little brother, since everything has been done, let's report Wan'er." Zou Tianjin said in a deep voice.

"I'm not here to make friends with you bandits, so why bother to make a name. You don't have to play with me all these twists and turns, let's get down to business. Zhao Zheng said lightly.

"You don't want to report your name, do you want to make a fool of yourself here?" Zou Tianjin's words broke through the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Even if you are incognito, you can't scare me, if you have the ability to threaten me, you would have done it directly, how could you climb this mountain road obediently." ”

"I'm not playing tricks, the reason why I don't want to say my name is just that I don't want my name to be said by you, and if someone like you says my name, it will make my name dirty."

"Hehe, what a pair of sharp teeth, it seems that the person who captured my wife is not an ordinary person. It's just that I don't know why you want to arrest the because she offended you? ”

"She didn't offend me, I just couldn't get used to what she did, so I took her down."

"She went down the mountain this time to help me deal with the county order of Jiyuan County. You said that you couldn't get used to what she did, you must have seen the process of her doing things in the county office. This kind of idle matter, ordinary people don't care, and they don't have the ability to manage it. You meddled in this matter, and you also captured the lowly, you must be a nosy and capable young man, and his strength is at least above the Seven Heavens. Also, if I'm not mistaken, my cheap one is ten times ** locked up in Jiyuan County at this time, and if I want to save her, I have to send someone over there. Zou Tianjin was like an outsider, calmly analyzing the current situation, and speaking the truth.

Zhao Zheng changed color slightly, he never expected Zou Tianjin to guess so much, which made him fall into passivity to a certain extent. He has hostages in his hands, and in this negotiation, he should have the upper hand and the initiative, so how could he let the other party lead the way.

"Your lady is in our hands, I advise you not to act rashly, if you want her to return to you safely, make a deal with me." Zhao Zheng interrupted.

"If I'm not bad, you shouldn't have any helpers around you, probably just those people from Far Away County, otherwise, you wouldn't have come here alone. With those cats and dogs in the Yamen of Jiyuan County, it is not so easy to trap the cheap. In the same way, it shouldn't be difficult for me to get rid of the scumbag. Zou Tianjin further analyzed.

"Oh? Listening to your tone, I don't want to negotiate with me anymore, but I have the intention of forcibly rescuing Lu Xingyue. Zhao Zheng said coldly.

"Hehe, it's because we're negotiating that I'm talking about these things, if I don't sort out the situation of both the enemy and us, won't I suffer a big loss in the negotiation?" Zou Tianjin sneered three times and teased, "Is it difficult, do you think that if you catch the cheap, you can let me cast a rat trap and be at your mercy?" If you really think so, you would be naΓ―ve. ”

"If you have this attitude, it seems that there is no need for us to talk any further, you can continue to reason according to your train of thought, or you can continue to do what you want, and I will not accompany you." Zhao Zheng clenched his fists, "Farewell." ”

"Slow!" Zou Tianjin broke off and shouted to Zhao Zheng, "Don't be angry, you have to continue to talk about what you should talk about, since you will come here specially, you must have some schemes, if you leave directly, wouldn't you have to come for nothing." ”

Zhao Zheng didn't really want to leave, he just scared Zou Tianjin, and stopped at the moment.

"Although Shaoxia refuses to report his name, based on your appearance and the strength you show, I have already guessed your identity. You are young, with a sword hanging at your waist, a sword box on your back, and a rare bird and beast like Pixiu by your side, there is only one young man who can match you on the rivers and lakes. Zou Tianjin asked tentatively, "You should be Zhao Zheng, right?" ”

Zhao Zheng didn't report his name, but he didn't expect to be recognized, the matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide it anymore, he nodded slightly at Zou Tianjin and admitted the matter.

"Hehe, no wonder you dare to meddle in the affairs of our Yuezhao Mountain, it turns out that you have no fear. Behind you, with the support of the Taishan faction, it is indeed scary. However, I have to warn you in advance that our Yuezhao Mountain is not a simple cottage, and it is also supported by other big forces. If you go against us, you won't be able to bargain. I advise you, it's better to stop as soon as possible, so as not to get into trouble and cause fire [***]! Zou Tianjin sneered and threatened.

"I will give you these words as they are. If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and it is natural for you to send people around to do evil in this way, and if you continue like this, you will have to arouse the anger of the people. When the time comes, people of insight in the rivers and lakes will attack it, even if you have a few backers, it will be useless, and no one will be able to keep your little Langya Ridge Yuezhao Mountain! Zhao Zheng said aggressively.

"I do this, naturally I have my purpose, I don't need you to meddle in my affairs, and I don't need you to be a yellow-haired boy to talk to me here." Zou Tianjin leaned back and sat more comfortably, "Okay, I've figured out your details, and I don't have to beat around the bush anymore." What is your purpose, what do you want to do with me, just say it. ”

Zhao Zheng didn't expect to persuade Zou Tianjin in a few words, in the end, he still had to fight with the other party according to the hole cards in his hand, he took a deep breath and said bluntly: "I thought about the content of the transaction before I came, it is very simple, you promised not to send people to disturb the surrounding people for half a month, and after half a month, I will naturally hand over Lu Xingyue and several other thieves to you intact." ”

"You're going to let me stay for half a month?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, this period is a little too long, I can't accept it. Half a month's time is too variable, if it is delayed for so long, I am afraid that you have already found all the brothers and sisters of the Taishan faction, which is too disadvantageous to me. At most, I can promise you not to disturb the people around you for five days, and after five days, you will return to me with a few brothers from the mountains. ”

"Five days is too short for me to accept." Zhao Zheng groaned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Let's take a step back and set the date for seven days, how about it?" ”

"Seven days......" Zou Tianjin thought for a while and nodded, "Okay." Seven days is seven days, I sell Taishan pie for a thin noodle, I promise you. ”

"The matter is settled, I hope you don't break your word. Within seven days, Yuezhao Mountain is not allowed to hurt the surrounding people at all, if you abide by the agreement, I will let Lu Xingyue and the others come back after seven days. ”

"Okay, the gentleman is quick to say, and I will definitely abide by this agreement." Zou Tianjin squinted at Zhao Zheng and advised, "In the past seven days, I hope you can control those cats and dogs in the yamen, let them take care of the cheap ones, but don't treat her slowly." ”

"Don't worry, three meals a day are indispensable for her." Zhao Zheng assured.

"Zhao Zheng, apart from this matter, do you have anything else to talk to me about?" Zou Tianjin asked.

"There's nothing else to do, but before I leave, I want to give you four words."

"What four words?" Zou Tianjin raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"Do it yourself!"

Zhao Zheng dropped these four words, called Ah Bao beside him, and walked out of the justice hall without looking back.

Zou Tianjin stared at Zhao Zheng's back, his pupils narrowed to the size of a pinpoint. (To be continued.) )
