Chapter 0190: Looking for Uncle

In the cold winter season, every family is celebrating the New Year.

Changshan Datun in the west of Fushun is also in the midst of liveliness, there are dozens of families living in the tun, hundreds of residents, at the moment is also jubilant, happy to have a big year. This tun is a point in the Fushun border defense system of the Ming Dynasty, and the senior general stationed here is holding a wine glass in his own courtyard and shouting rudely: "Brothers, are you happy today?" ”

"Happy." In the courtyard, more than a dozen military officers and military commanders gathered around two large tables, and each one of them was full of oil. Seeing that their own head was toasted, they also stood up to congratulate each other.

Mr. Gao pulled up a person next to him and said happily: "This time everyone can have a fat year, thanks to the transaction the day before yesterday, it was so happy." This pleasure is all guided by my nephew. Come, everyone toast him. ”

Faced with a vulgar military man with vegetable juice on his beard and greasy cuffs, the young man who was pulled up was cramped and uneasy. The soldiers who were partial to the birth had no scruples, and they all raised their wine glasses and shouted around: "Young Master Ximen has a good idea, and this transaction has made a lot of money." ”

The person who was pulled up was none other than Ximen Ai, who had been making trouble for Zhou Qingfeng recently. This young man was originally caught by the horse, and wanted to let the 'thorn' possess him and approach Zhou Qingfeng for a sneak attack. didn't wait for Ximen to agree, Uncle Zhou came to the door.

fled home in a hurry, and Simon Wai learned the news that Ma Zhutou's house was on fire the next day, and the whole family was burned to death. Although he didn't understand the reason behind this, he was scared. He was worried that he would be retaliated against, and even lost his father and mother, and he hurriedly escaped from Fushun City to avoid disaster in the countryside.

Within a few days, relatives in the city sent news to Simon Ai that he had left suddenly, and that there was no one to take care of him at home. His father died of illness within two days, his mother was beaten and hanged, and the evil servants of the family stole the title deeds and bought and sold them privately, selling all the family's property.

Simon Ai was struck by lightning in this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it in his panic. He not only scolded the Zhou thief for being vicious and killing his parents, but also scolded his relatives for being despicable and robbing him of his family business. At present, he has no one to rely on, so he can only come to his uncle's house in this Changshan Fort to ask for a place to settle down - his uncle is the general manager of this Changshan Dabao, and there are twenty or thirty people under him, and dozens of military families are farming here.

When he learned that his sister and brother-in-law had been killed, he loved his nephew very much and let him live in the castle. But how can the talented people in Fushun City endure this evil breath? After Ximen mourned every day and night, he thought about revenge every day, wrote several letters to his classmates, and asked for help from the teacher in Shenyang. But all these mud cows went into the sea, and there was no movement.

Although frustrated, this time Simon did not give up because of this. He kept staring at the movements in Fushun City, ready to fight back at any time. When Zhou Qingfeng was looking for large-scale recruitment of craftsmen, he spread rumors and agitated, one would say that there were wealthy Zhou merchants in the city who gave them alms for free, and the other would say that someone would double the money for recruiting workers in winter. It attracted a lot of rural people who didn't know the truth.

When he learned that thousands of people were pouring into Fushun City, Simon laughed with joy. Because the Ming court has always been sensitive to such group incidents, it must be held accountable. But just as he was waiting to see Zhou Qingfeng cocoon himself and die, the gathering of thousands of people did not cause any chaos, and the crowd was either absorbed, shocked, or diverted.

The people who went to Fushun City were not only not disappointed, but came back and praised the benevolence of the Zhou Dong family in the west of the city, they ate a few full meals, and some even got dozens of copper coins, in short, they did not return empty-handed. In addition to praising benevolence, people also envy those recruited craftsmen who take more money, and the tide of public opinion is one-sidedly tilted towards Zhou Qingfeng, which instead triggers more capable people to take refuge.

"This week, the thief poured water with the silver, and he just deceived the foolish man and fool woman in the countryside." Simon grieved and cursed, but he couldn't make a plan and made another plan. Zhou Qingfeng integrated merchants and formed a caravan, and it was impossible to block the news. When he learned about it, he immediately conspired with his uncle and decided to grab it.

In these years, the generals and officials are so rich, but the military households are poor, and the low-level officers like the high-ranking generals can't make any oil and water. But as a local overlord or a way to make money, by making friends with some bandits and water bandits, sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils, the business of the high-ranking boss on the underworld is still excellent.

With such an uncle, Ximen Ai naturally came up with the idea to grab Zhou Qingfeng's caravan. He personally returned to Fushun to observe and inquire, and when Tan Feng escorted the caravan to Shenyang, he also followed him all the way for a long time. Waiting for Tan Feng to come back from Shenyang .......

"In addition to my nephew's good news, there is also the help of the Yang family brothers in Hutou Mountain, which makes me feel like a tiger." In front of the wine table, Mr. Gao pulled up the two of them to toast. One is stout and has a beard. One was emaciated and dressed in a green robe. After the two of them got up, they were free and easy, grabbed the wine bowl and drank it dry.

The beard showed the bottom of the bowl, and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I Yang Wei dare not say anything else, I once worshipped a famous teacher, learned a superb marksmanship, and took the head of a general in a million troops, such as probing for a bag." My eldest brother, Yang Bang, is good at arranging troops, has the power to strategize, and can make thousands of people move together, like an arm. ”

The young man groaned and smiled, and only said, 'You should not be praised like this.' A group of military men were vulgar and couldn't understand the crepe words, so they only applauded vigorously. However, the high general always knew the key to it, and explained a few words: "I heard that Tan Feng, who was a thief under the thief that week, was also a general from Xuanfu, so that a big knife in one hand could not enter the water, and the wind could not enter, and ordinary people were not opponents.

This man is also a disciple of the general, and he is very proficient in marching formations. My nephew said that the team under his control was strict and well-behaved, and that he was not a prodigal fool. I was worried in my heart, but unfortunately there was this Yang Wei Yang Zhai master, and one person rushed first on the day of the fight, and Tan Feng was tired and weak, and his hands and feet trembled.

And then there is this Yang Bang Yang Zhai master, who arranged a good formation, so that we can fight with a clear banner and command calmly. Two or three hundred people were killed like heavenly soldiers and generals, and it was so terrifying that Tan Feng's subordinates fled without their lives, and all the goods and horses escorted were thrown to me and others. even forced Tan Feng's strength to run out, and no matter how difficult it was to support, he could only flee in embarrassment. ”

What Gao General always said is interesting, the soldiers under his command only knew that there was a commotion in the fight the day before yesterday, and more than a dozen wastes waving flags and shouting died, but they didn't know what changes had taken place in the overall situation.

After the incident, several cartloads of valuable goods were plundered, and even the spirits in the bowl were all looted that day. Today, when I heard the general talk of the high-ranking generals, the soldiers also danced with their eyebrows, loudly praising how brave the Yang brothers were.

A wine feast was dispersed, and everyone went home to rest. Gao always arranged for the Yang brothers to stay, and then grabbed his nephew Ximen Ai and asked: "Child, you said that we robbed Zhou Qingfeng's goods this time, will he come to the door to find us trouble?" Uncle, I've inquired, that kid seems to have gone through the door of Master Fushun Li, and it's really hard to mess with. ”

Ximen Aizheng drank a plate of cooked edamame beans with wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle is scared when he thinks about it, but I have arranged this matter very properly, and there is no possibility of an accident." The day before yesterday, it was the men and horses of Hutou Mountain who rushed into battle, and my uncle's subordinates only took care of receiving and selling the stolen goods afterwards. Even if the Zhou thief gets the news, he has to kill the two village owners in Hutou Mountain first. But did he kill it?

Nephew, I think the Yang brothers are indeed extraordinary, their soldiers use their lives, dare to kill and fight. As soon as the two of them made a move, they beat Tan Feng to the ground. I heard that the surname Tan is still a brave man with martial arts, but he was also beaten in the chaos and fled. And apart from this Tan Feng, there is no one under the Zhou thief who can fight. That kid can help me except scream and scold in anger? ”

Gao always feels reasonable, and his heart is relaxed.

And at this moment in the west of Fushun City, Zhou Qingfeng had just ordered someone to bandage Tan Feng's wounds, and asked with a cold face what was going on, "Say, why is it so miserable?" You are also a person with cultivation, this is a master? ”

Tan Feng looked ashamed, the failure of the day before yesterday had dealt a great blow to him. He has always felt that his martial arts are extraordinary, but he is too upright to encounter setbacks in life. Fortunately, this time, he was beaten by a rabble. "The day before yesterday, I led a team to leave Shenyang, and walked to a place called Donggou Village halfway through, when I suddenly encountered a group of robbers."

In recent years, there have been many bandits, and the composition is very complex. There are also many people and bandits, and there are also officials and bandits, and if they can't be prepared, they will encounter roadblocks and robberies. Zhou Qingfeng was not surprised at all when he heard that there were robbers.

Tan Feng continued: "At the beginning, there were only more than twenty or thirty robbers, and they stood on a hillside and shot arrows at our team. I immediately brought a dozen inspectors to kill them and drive them away. ”

Zhou Qingfeng frowned when he heard this, and the caravan he sent out also had more than fifty people and more than a dozen carts. How dare twenty or thirty people come to rob?

Tan Feng said again: "I just rushed up the hillside, and those robbers who shot arrows immediately fled in all directions. I killed a few of them, only to hear my men exclaim that there was another group of robbers coming from the other direction. So I turned the horse's head and killed it again. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's brows furrowed even deeper, and the trick of attacking the east and west was clearly premeditated. If he encounters such a situation, he will first circle the cart and stick to it.

Tan Feng was obviously too strong and underestimated the enemy, and when he said this, he suddenly stopped, with a look of unwillingness and annoyance. Zhou Qingfeng had to take the initiative to ask, "And then?" You're defeated? ”

Tan Feng really nodded and said, "Yes, the subordinates are defeated, and the defeat is confused." When I went to fight the second wave of robbers, I saw that they had killed more than 200 people. I first fell for the trick of luring the enemy and stayed away from the convoy. By the time I returned, the second wave of robbers had already reached the convoy, and the people who had been left behind couldn't resist it at all, so they fled in droves on the spot. ”

More than two hundred against dozens of numbers, and winning is also deserved. But Tan Feng is a monk, why is he so embarrassed? Facing Zhou Qingfeng's puzzled eyes, Tan Feng stomped his feet and pounded the table and said: "The second wave of robbers came out in formation, all holding wooden spears, although they marched slowly, they could queue up neatly, and they were by no means a rabble.

I didn't care at the time, I was going to blast their formation with a few spells, and I would slash them in. But after I lost a flame talisman, the two hundred or so robbers panicked, and soon surrounded me again in a group. I couldn't beat them apart even after killing a dozen of them in one go, but I consumed more than half of my spiritual power, and I fled in a panic. ”

Tan Feng's cultivation of three layers of muscles and bones, and one layer of qi and blood, that is to say, he can release five spells at most. But in the actual fight, there are very few people like Zhou Qingfeng, because they are too weak, so they often fight hard until their spiritual power is exhausted. Basically, if you can't win by consuming half of it, the monk will want to retreat. Otherwise, I will be really exhausted, and I won't be able to escape if I want to.

In other words, Tan Feng put two moves nine times out of ten, and as soon as he saw that he couldn't defeat the opponent, he immediately withdrew. And it is even more impossible to expect the people who escorted the caravan to fight to the death in the face of a superior enemy.

It's just that Zhou Qingfeng was still puzzled: "Tan Feng, if you put a flame talisman, the opponent can even reorganize the team to surround you?" ”

The flame charm creates a great fire all over the land, and those in the fire will surely jump to their feet and flee. If it's not the elite, it's hard to organize again.

"yes." Tan Feng specifically mentioned one point, "At that time, my subordinates saw that the robbers with wooden spears were all wearing hair towels on their heads, and they seemed to be lined up in different colors. And at that time, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, and now in retrospect, it seems to be a whole team. This is clearly a robber pretended by an unknown official or army. ”

Wooden spears? Different colors to distinguish the queue? And the sound of gongs and drums?

Zhou Qingfeng blinked his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: Why does this combination sound so familiar? And it's been improved!
