Chapter 36: Erlong Mountain

Cao Jun's opposition immediately caused a commotion among the officials.

The master also rode a horse and chased after him, and asked in a low voice: "Cao Dutou, is there anything wrong with this mountain in front of you?" ”

Cao Jun collected the map, pointed to the heavy mountains in front of him and said: "Master, you see, those two peaks are the hump of camels, called Shuangfeng Mountain, which is said to have been occupied by a group of strongmen and renamed Erlong Mountain. ”

"This mountain road passes through two peaks, if someone takes advantage of the situation to kill, how can they hold it?"

Seeing that Cao Jun said something serious, the master also looked solemn.

It was the leader of a coolie who pulled the cart and comforted: "Cao Dutou, with you in the lead, how can there be a little thief who does not open his eyes to come out to seek death, I wait for the departure, the steward has an explanation, this time for the county government to work, be sure to listen to the order and listen to the command, I wait for more than a dozen people, not to eat dry food, if necessary, I will contribute." ”

As he spoke, he flipped under the tarpaulin of the board car and pulled out a big knife.

The other coolies did the same, and they also took out large knives from the carts, one for each of them, and held them in their hands.

With that swarthy face and bare arms, there is an indescribable majesty and domineering.

Cao Jun and Master glanced at each other, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a sense of surprise that they stepped on their wallets while walking at night.

Morale is available!

Cao Jun had an idea and added another chip.

"The salary of this time, has been negotiated with your steward in advance, if this trip goes well, then everything is as before, if this trip encounters twists and turns, you need to contribute, I will also take out some reward money to share with everyone, will not let everyone contribute in vain."

"Great!"

"I listen to the orders of the head, if someone doesn't open their eyes and wants to block the road and rob, fuck the guy and fuck him directly!"

After stabilizing the morale of the team, Cao Jun ordered everyone to dismount together, condensed their voices, and quietly passed through Erlong Mountain.

And so he walked another mile or two, and the sky began to get dark.

Li Quan, who was inquiring in front, suddenly ran back with a smoke, panting and whispering: "Dutou, it's not good, there are people blocking the road ahead." ”

Everyone's worries suddenly rose to their throats.

Cao Jun walked forward quietly with Li Quan, and saw that the black pressure in the middle of the road was overwhelmed, and when he got closer, he found that it was an old tree with a thick waist, which had been cut off from the roots and lying horizontally in the middle of the road.

Blocking all paths at once.

When Cao Jun saw this scene, the luck in his heart suddenly fell short.

I took precautions, but I didn't expect to be preempted.

He took a deep breath, hugged his fists and shouted: "I don't know which way of the hero, Cao Jun of Yanggu County has passed since then, and I hope to raise my noble hand and make it convenient!" ”

"Hahaha!"

As soon as Cao Jun's words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the forest.

After a while, more than a dozen people poured out from both sides, forming a semicircle to surround Cao Jun in the middle.

The master behind was afraid that Cao's army would lose, so he also led his men and horses to rush up to support.

Two groups of men stood on the road and confronted each other.

After a while, someone lit a torch.

By the light, people on both sides were secretly looking at each other, quietly comparing the difference in strength between the two sides.

On the one side blocking the road, there were about a dozen people, with different costumes, and the weapons in their hands were also strangely shaped, some were holding half-inch thick woodcutters, some were carrying red tassel guns, and some were holding sticks.

Not like robbers, more like hunters and farmers around the area.

On the other hand, on the side of the Cao army, seven or eight officials were all in uniform cyan robes, each with a simple knife, and also led four or five horses, and the coolies who drove the cart behind were all shirtless, each with a big knife.

Whether it is the number of people or the momentum, the side that stands in the way is at a disadvantage.

After seeing the situation clearly, the officials in the rear were not afraid.

Someone came out and shouted, "Where is the stupid thief, don't sleep with your mother-in-law at home, and the scholar comes out to rob, and you don't polish your dog's eyes, weigh it, don't get out of it quickly, grandpa is happy, don't worry about you." ”

Cao Jun saw that the shouting officer was in his twenties, and he should have been instructed by his master, so he simply folded his arms and watched the changes.

One person also stood up on the side of the road, and his voice was not weak at all.

"Whew! When you come out to mix, you have to understand the rules, this Erlongshan is our family's territory, and if you want to live from here, you have to leave the money to buy the road. ”

The official replied: "Haha, I don't know how much you pay to buy the road, and say it for the grandfathers to listen to and consider it." ”

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, each party had a weapon, and the momentum was not weak, and it was not easy to get along with at first glance, so he suddenly felt a little weak, and the volume was a little weaker.

But if you come out to mix, you can lose, but you can't lose face.

This time, I had to grit my teeth and reply stiffly.

"Your men stand aside first, put down the guys, don't resist, let us check the goods, leave 10% of the goods, and don't embarrass you, otherwise, when the big leader of my family comes out, you can't eat and go around."

As soon as the words of the robbers in the road fell, some of the officials here couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In front of him was clearly a group of mud-legged people, who actually learned from the roadblock robbers and started a business.

In the past, I had only heard of wolves eating sheep, but I never thought that a lynx would dare to come out and pretend to be a leopard.

It's really a laugh out of the big teeth.

As for the big leader in their mouths, the people were not reassured.

You're all like that.

How strong can your big leader be?

I'm afraid that I don't need my family to come out, I'll wait for one person and one punch, and let the big leader of your family cry and go home to find my mother to eat.

Thinking about it like this, everyone's original nervousness gradually relaxed.

Some people even started to think carefully about looting each other.

"Cao Dutou, don't let them look through the goods."

I don't know when, the master secretly came to Cao Jun's side and reminded him in a whisper.

"I know!"

Among the three carts, two were supplies and the other car, if Cao Jun guessed correctly, was the goods looted by the magistrate from Ximen Mansion.

To say the least, there are thousands of taels of silver.

If the roadrunners know, if they can't keep it, they will blush on the spot, and they will die and lose their debts, and no one will be able to escape.

As for the mentality that everyone doesn't take this group of robbers seriously, Cao Jun doesn't dare to be sloppy, if this is Erlong Mountain, then the big leader in their mouth is afraid that he is a figure who is not easy to dismiss.

At this time, it is too early to be happy.

After such shouting from both sides, the negotiations broke down, and the people on the county government side consciously used their weapons and gathered together.

The robbers on the other side also saw that something was wrong, and immediately turned around and asked the person behind him to call for help.

"Stick your hand, go and ask the big boss to come out."

The two sides were at a stalemate.

A MOMENT LATER, SEVERAL MORE TORCHES APPEARED BEHIND THE ROBBERS, AND THE LEADER WAS BAREHEADED, NAKED AND CARRYING A ZEN STAFF.

Before anyone arrived, a loud voice came.

"You eyeless birds, you can't do some small things, disturb your grandfather's sleep, you really deserve to be beaten."

This sentence is a scolding to his own people.

The scolded person didn't dare to fight back, but he followed behind with a torch, accompanied by a no, and shouted aggrieved, "Big leader, this time it was a group of strong people who stopped me, all of them were not easy to get along with, and they spoke arrogantly, so they had to ask the big boss to come out." ”

In a few words, the big leader came to Cao Jun.
