We touched a small stone cliff on the riverside, and we can clearly overlook the whole picture of Zuojiang Village.

This village is built along the river, in which bamboo buildings, thatched huts are lined up one after another, and spread to the foot of the mountain in the rear, it looks larger than the scale of Xijia Village, but the layout is messy, except for a palace-like building with white walls and green tiles at the root of the mountain and a nearby steeple barn, the other parts are simply like the tribe of primitive people, old and dilapidated, and there is no order at all.

What surprised me even more was that now it's 2018, and most of the houses in this village have not yet been electrified, the lights in the houses are faint, and there are wooden braziers on the side of the road.

At this time, on a wide racecourse in front of the village, hundreds of Miao family members armed with torches and Miao knives gathered, and they did not line up, just stood in such a chaotic manner, listening to the lectures of the three small leaders riding horses in front of the team.

I wanted to hear what they were saying, but it was too late, and I heard the shouts of the torch-bearers, and then the three little leaders rushed to the wharf by the river, boarded a few wide ferries, and headed for the other side.

Gathering people late at night and crossing the river with weapons, these people are certainly not doing good deeds, but I am here to find out the news, and I am not in the mood to pay attention to what they are going to do.

After figuring out the general terrain, I knew that the target should be in that palace-like building, so I went down the stone cliff with Xie Zhijian, went around the outer wall of the stockade, and reached the location near the palace before climbing over the wall and entering.

This palace only has two entrances in front and back, and the outer wall is only more than half a person high, and the main hall behind is brightly lit, and there is the sound of music, talking and laughing, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, as if someone is putting on a feast inside.

It's a pity that it's too far away, and it is difficult to hear what the people inside are saying without spreading their senses.

But I'm still secretly glad that I came to the right time, originally I was just going to try my luck, but looking at the posture in this palace, Zuo Jiangzhai's head and brain should be in it at this time, this is definitely a good opportunity to listen to the news.

However, there were eight guards in black Miao uniforms standing guard around the main hall, and they were all carrying earthen guns, which could easily alarm them if we were not careful, and we could not do anything when the guns went off.

In desperation, we had to squat in the shadows outside the wall, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

But these guards were very conscientious, none of them took a nap, and waited for more than an hour, until two o'clock in the morning, they finally moved, and another team of guards came to change the guard.

I attached it to Xie Zhijian's ear and told him to stay here, and if something went wrong with me, let him make some noise so that I could cover my withdrawal. Then I took advantage of the change of guard to climb over the wall and enter the back door of the main hall.

Fortunately, there were no guards inside, I easily touched the side hall, the side hall should be a rest room, there was no one inside, I looked from the small window on the door, only to see that the main hall was like the layout of the palace, although it was a lot smaller, but it was also splendid.

The hall is really a banquet, high in the throne sitting a fifty miles away, dressed in a golden dress, the head of the Miao family with a fiery red turban, this person has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the complexion is not as black as the ordinary Miao man, with a thick upturned beard, between words and laughter quite magnanimous, at a glance, you can know that this person should be the owner of Zuojiang Zhai Pi Peng.

On the first place on the left is an old man in a yellow suit, at least seventy years old, with a wrinkled face, perhaps because of drinking, and his face is ruddy, but the white hair exposed from the sideburns can be seen, and the hair is obviously dyed black.

The people sitting on the table below him were also Han Chinese, and their clothes and speech were obviously incompatible with Miao Zhai.

I don't know if Pi Peng made an exception to receive these Han people with a high standard, or whether the customs and habits of the Miao family are different from those of the Han people, and arranging these people on the left is definitely worthy of being a guest.

I couldn't see who was sitting on the right side of the hall from my direction, but I heard someone say Miao language, and it should be the leader of Zuojiangzhai.

I only heard the old man on the left side say with a smile: "After King Pi unifies the three villages, even if he does not use force, the two villages on the other side will still look forward to the wind and surrender, so why rush at this moment?" ”

"What are these words, Han Protector led the crowd to help, of course Pi Peng can't be taken lightly, but because there are no mountain delicacies or seafood in the village, I can only borrow some delicacies from the other side to entertain all the distinguished guests of Taiping Road, don't worry, calculate the time, they should also come back."

When I heard this, I was shocked, it turned out that these people on the left turned out to be people from Taiping Dao, and the old man at the head was actually the protector of the Dharma?

However, I have limited knowledge of the structure of Taiping Dao, so I don't know what part of the Dharma protector this surname Han is? Is it the Guangxi General Altar, or is it from the Taiping Holy Land that has never been explored?

I don't hear his accent like a Guangxi person, but doesn't Pi Peng also speak fluent Chinese, which doesn't mean anything.

"King Pi is polite, this cooperation is mutually beneficial, if we can open up this waterway to Annam, you and I can both make money every day, and when the time comes, everything King Pi wants will naturally be at your fingertips!"

Pi Peng laughed when he heard this: "If there is a day, Pi Peng will not forget your achievements today, come, do it!" ”

His laughter really made my heart tremble.

I thought that the contradiction in Sanzhai was just an internal dispute, but I didn't expect that Taiping Dao was also involved.

What is even more unexpected is that their plan is so big!

This Longguan town is located on the border, across the river is the border of Vietnam, is the smuggling, drug trafficking, trafficking in women and children and other crimes of high incidence area, if Pi Peng can control the land of Sanzhai, it is equivalent to choking the throat of this hidden channel, and then use the state's respect for the customs and habits of ethnic minorities, as well as the preferential treatment of them, secretly colluding with the Taiping Road to do those unseemly deeds......

Pi Peng's ambition is really not small, just looking at his palace-like hall, as well as the golden suit of Miao Bumiao and Han Buhan, I know that this guy wants to be the emperor of the soil for a day or two.

I used to think that they were just looking for money and coveting the resources of Xiji, but now it seems that even if there is no Tianwu and no attractive financial resources of Xijizhai, he will have to do it sooner or later.

The most important thing is to look at their inevitable posture, even if they lose the bullfight, they will have another incident to snatch the Chi You Drum, and it is impossible to give up, they have already united Wula Village, and now with the foreign aid of Taiping Dao, how can the small Xiji Village be their opponent, a bad one, it will end up in a broken village.

But since this matter has been bumped into by Lao Tzu, of course Lao Tzu can't pretend not to see it!

No, we can't delay here any longer, we have to go back and discuss with Luo Ningfeng as soon as possible, and immediately transfer people over, the other party is overwhelming, and the three of us will definitely not be able to "serve" it.

However, just as I was about to quietly withdraw from the stall, I heard a chaotic sound outside the hall, and I saw three strong men in bloodstained clothes escorting a group of women who were tied up by flowers to the main hall, and the sound of crying and shouting rang out.

I frowned and looked at it, and saw the three strong men who led the team kneeling down on one knee: "Congratulations to King Pi for getting another village!" ”

Pi Peng smiled and stood up: "Okay! You have worked hard, and the king has written it down for you! ”

The man replied loudly: "The subordinates don't dare to take credit, it's all up to King Pi Tianwei, and the jade village is broken in one fell swoop, these girls are carefully selected by their subordinates before they are brought up, dedicated to King Pi and the distinguished guests, and the right is a little filial piety of the subordinates." ”

Pi Peng laughed and stepped off the throne, looking around the women.

Although these women were all disheveled, they looked like young and beautiful girls, and Pi Peng reached out and hooked the chin of one of the beautiful girls, and the girl was full of anger, and spat at him fiercely, and was spitting on the placket of his clothes.

The smile on Pi Peng's face disappeared and he grabbed her neck.

only heard a soft click, and the girl's neck bone was twisted and fell directly to the ground.

The other girls were so frightened that they screamed and hid back, but where could they hide when they were wearing a rope with thick fingers?

The strong man shook his hand, and then pulled them all to the ground: "Don't cry, whoever cries again will have a result with her!" ”

This voice really had a miraculous effect, and the girls bit their lips and covered their mouths one by one, and they didn't dare to make any more sounds.

Pi Peng smiled with satisfaction and patted the strong man's shoulder: "Very good, you guys go down." ”

The three of them bowed and withdrew, and Pi Peng smiled at Han Protector and said, "Han Protector thinks that these Annan women can be regarded as delicacies?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Pharaoh Han's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to stand up, and the other Taiping Dao people were all excited, staring at those weak girls, like a pack of hungry wolves staring at sheep.

At this time, I was already a little unable to suppress the fire, Pi Peng was so lawless that he crossed the line to catch a group of Vietnamese girls to cause this gang of beasts to scourge, it was really painstaking.

Although they are not Chinese, they are also human beings after all, and they are all the same age, and they fall into the hands of these Taiping Dao evildoers, and the outcome can be imagined.

I have the heart to save people, but at this time, I can't reach out at all, otherwise I can't save people, and I have to get into it.

While I was pondering the countermeasures, a slightly hoarse man's voice suddenly came from a distance outside the hall: "King Pi." ”

Although the sound is still far away, it can clearly reach the ear, making the hall suddenly quiet.

Immediately after that, I felt an astonishing aura penetrate through the entire hall, and soon enveloped the entire hall, obviously I was hiding in the side hall with bated breath, but there was a feeling of being exposed under the noses of the visitor.

My heart tightened, and I quickly withdrew my gaze, the comer was extremely strong, and if I peep again, he will definitely be able to feel my gaze.

Listening carefully, Pi Peng's tone in the hall changed slightly: "Wu Lun, why are you here too?" ”

"I heard that King Pi has some new women, I'll take a look."

Pi Peng smiled a little far-fetched: "What? You're actually interested in women, too? ”

"My Yun Gu has reached a critical time, and I am short of a batch of Gu bases, can King Pi reward them to me."

Although the man's voice was hoarse, it was always gentle, without any ups and downs, and without a trace of emotion.

"This ......," Pi Peng muttered.

And I frowned, this Wu Lun should be the Tianwu of Zuojiangzhai, Gu Ji is the hotbed for hatching Gu worms, if these women are asked by him to be Gu Ji, they can only end up being nourishment for insects.
