Chapter 389: The Master Stepped on the Point
The master was silent.
"Okay......" Shan Xue'er gritted her teeth and said: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been forced to leave the original cottage!" ”
The master returned the sword to the sheath and said, "I owe you me, and I will return it to you now." ”
"How can you pay it back, what do you take, do you take your life back?"
The grandfather put the long sword on the table, "As long as you don't kill people anymore and stop being a ringing horse, you can kill me." ”
"It's late, it's late!" Shan Xue'er's eyes were red.
The master was puzzled and asked, "Then what do you want, can't I give you my life?" ”
Shan Xue'er looked at the sword on the table, her eyes flashing, "If you really want to atone for your sins, go and help me kill someone!" ”
The grandfather's heart jumped, and he asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" ”
Shan Xue'er didn't answer directly, and said: "If you have the ability to sneak into my cottage, you must also have a way to sneak into his cottage!" ”
The master asked again: "Who is it, is it also a ringing horse?" ”
Shan Xue'er replied: "It's Xiangma, a person who is more hateful than you!" ”
"Good!" When the master heard that it was a ringing horse, he agreed: "Don't say a ringing horse, even if it is the head of the emperor's old son, I can take it for you!" ”
Hearing this, Shan Xue'er's angry face softened slightly, "If you can really take off his head and give it to me, you and I will write off all the grievances!" ”
The master reached out and took back the long sword on the table, "Say, the name of the ringing horse, where is their cottage?" ”
Shan Xueer said: "His name is Wang Tiandi, and he is the master of Malingzhai. ”
"What?" When the master heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, he heard the barbarian people say this name in Yinsi, and several barbarian people were sent by him.
The master hurriedly asked, "What do you have with Wang Tiandi?" ”
Shan Xue'er's face looked a little unnatural, "You don't need to know, as long as you can bring his head, I won't let people hunt you down in the future." ”
The master asked again: "Where is Malingzhai located?" ”
Shan Xue'er replied: "It is a hundred miles southeast of here, you will know as soon as you inquire there, but you had better stay incognito." ”
"Why?" The master asked, "Is it because he wants to kill me too?" ”
Shan Xue'er suddenly showed a hint of surprise, "How do you know that he wants to kill you?" ”
The master sneered: "A year ago, he sent a few barbarians to our village, and I killed them all, even if you don't say it, I will find him sooner or later!" ”
"It's ghostly!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Shan Xue'er glanced at the grandfather coldly, "You don't ask, it has nothing to do with you!" ”
The master looked at Shan Xue'er's face suspiciously, her face was still delicate, but she was a little more mature and vicissitudes, she seemed to have suffered a lot of hardships and grievances over the years, and she was dressed in red, and she looked very angry.
"What do you see, don't leave yet!"
The master nodded slightly, "Take care of yourself." ”
"Don't bother!"
The master opened the door, and saw men and women outside surrounded the door, holding swords, waiting for the battle, and in the house, Shan Xue'er's voice came: "He is not Liu Niandao, let him go!" ”
The master left the cottage, walked out of the forest, and came to the bottom of the mountain, but the horses were gone, it should be when Shan Xueer led people to search for him, and snatched the horses to the cottage.
The master has the heart to go back, but after thinking about it, it's just a horse, and if you go back, you have to look too stingy, so you can find a place to buy another one after dawn.
The master walked along the road towards the south, but after walking not far, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the speed was quite fast.
When the man came closer, the master took a look and realized that it was the ringing horse that led the way for him before.
Xiangma threw the reins of the other horse to the grandfather and said, "This is the best horse in our cottage, and our master gave it to you." ”
The master took the reins of the horse, turned over on the horse, and hugged the horse with a fist, "Thank you for being in charge on my behalf." ”
Xiangma said coldly: "Xie is not necessary, our big boss said, if you can't take the head of Wang Tiandi, we will continue to kill the surname Liu!" After that, Xiangma didn't wait for the master to answer, beat the horse and whipped it, and returned the same way.
The master looked at the back of Xiangma in the distance, and couldn't understand what grievances Shan Xue'er and Wang Tiandi had.
Two days later, the grandfather came to a place called Maling, which seemed to be the boundary of Heze and was under the jurisdiction of Caozhou Prefecture.
In front of him is a dilapidated small county town, with a dilapidated earthen city wall, no city gates, and no officers and soldiers. There are traces of arrows and stabs on the city wall, as well as traces of swords and spears, and there are thousands of holes, as if they have gone through countless wars.
The grandfather led the horse into the county seat and found an inn in the city, but there were no people in the inn and the business was bleak.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the master asked Xiao Er to prepare a guest room by himself, and then asked for two dishes and a jar of wine, and let Xiao Er send him into the guest room.
In the guest room, the master did not let Xiao Er leave, and threw Xiao Er a silver ingot, and Xiao Er was immediately happy.
The master said to him: "The silver is not given to you for free, you have to answer me a few questions honestly." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly nodded, "This master, if you have anything to ask, since the opening of the small shop, the little one has never seen you so generous!" ”
The grandfather asked, "Do you know Malingzhai?" ”
After a sentence, Xiao Er's face suddenly changed color, "This master, you, what are you asking Ma Lingzhai for?" ”
The grandfather said: "I asked you, if you know, just say." ”
Xiao Er hesitated for a moment and said: "Maling Village is five miles away from the county seat, it used to be a village, and now it ...... It has become a Xiangma cottage. ”
The master nodded, and asked again, "Have you heard of Wang Tiandi?" ”
Xiao Er's face changed again, "That's their big boss, killing people without blinking, no one in the city doesn't know." ”
"How many people are there in their cottage?"
Xiao Er replied: "There are hundreds of people, in addition to Wang Tiandi, there are also Hu Tianba's second master, Liu Tianhe's third master, Zhou Tianshan's fourth master, Chen Tianxia's fifth master, and a military advisor Zhang Tianshi...... In addition to them, there are also the four King Kongs, the eight mountain patrols, and the sixty-two spies, all of whom are strong in martial arts, killing people and goods, and the government does not dare to provoke them. ”
When the master heard this, he couldn't help frowning, the formation of this cottage was afraid that he couldn't deal with it alone. After thinking about it, he didn't come to level the cottage, as long as he could sneak in, find Wang Tiandi's residence, and take his head.
At this time, Xiao Er asked, "This master, do you have anything else to ask?" ”
The master waved his hand and threw a silver ingot to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er retired happily.
After eating, the grandfather bought a shabby old farmer's clothes in the county seat, bought a medicine bag and a small shovel for collecting medicine, dressed as a medicine farmer collecting medicine, and walked to Maling Village, five miles away.
This is also a tall earthen hill, and the surrounding area is also full of woods, so the grandfather got into it and pretended to collect medicine in the forest.
There are no herbs in the Heze area, but there are still some common rehmannia roots, wolfberries, grass roots, etc., and there are some rare herbs, but the master doesn't know it, so he just dug up some ordinary herbs to fill the number, and he didn't mean to pick medicine, but to step on it. I want to see what Maling Cottage looks like and how to sneak in.
Malingzhai is different from Shan Xue'er's cottage, it is larger than Shan Xue'er's cottage, and there is a circle of earthen city walls around, and there are people patrolling back and forth on the city wall, which looks like a city with several earth emperors living in it.
The master circled around the cottage, the two doors in front and back of the whole cottage, except for entering through the door, the rest of the place must be used to kick the wall hook to go up, and after going up, it will definitely alarm the guards on the city wall.
The master summed it up in his heart, turned around and left, and soon returned to the inn.
Stayed overnight at the inn, and the next day, the grandfather bought a satin gown and a pair of brand-new riding boots in the city, and dressed himself like a rich boy.
Subsequently, the grandfather rode a horse, lazily passing through Maling Village, next to the forest below Maling Village, there was a small road, and the grandfather deliberately strangled the horse, walking more slowly, looking careless.
After a while, seven or eight people came out of the forest and blocked the way of the master, and when the master saw this, he turned around and wanted to go back.
"Do you still want to go?" One of them shouted, "Keep the money on your body, and the grandfathers will reward you with a dog's life." ”
The master looked at these people and asked unhurriedly, "Who are you, Ringing Horses?" ”
These people immediately laughed, "It turned out to be a chick, it seems that he doesn't understand the rules, yes, the grandfathers are the ringing horses, the ringing horses of the well-known Maling cottage!" ”
Listening to the tone of pride, the grandfather asked again, "What do you want to do?" ”
The men laughed again, "What do you say we want to do, leave the silver and the horses...... And your garment. ”
The master turned over and dismounted, took out the silver taels from his words, threw them to the loud horse who spoke, and then threw the whip over as well.
"Good boy, know the current affairs, take off your clothes."
The master said, "If I give you the clothes, can you call me in?" ”
"What?" The horses were stunned for a moment, and the master immediately said: "Master, I have tasted everything from the mountains and seas, flowers and wine, but I have never tasted the taste of being a ringing horse." ”
When all the ringing horses heard this, they were a little dumbfounded, robbing countless people, and no one had ever taken the initiative to ask to be a ringing horse, looking like a rich kid who didn't worry about eating and drinking.
One person said: "Boy, being a ringing horse is not a trick, take off your clothes and go to your mother for milk!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the ringing horses immediately laughed, and the master also laughed, and said: "If you don't let the master and me join the gang, don't want to take away anything with the silver and horses!" ”
"Yo, this son, you have a good breath, wow, you just came out of your mother's belly and walked the rivers and lakes."
The grandfather straightened his face, took off his robe, and the horses shouted: "That's right, listen to the grandfathers honestly, and the grandfathers will let you live." ”
The master strangled his belt and glanced at everyone coldly, "Which of you goes first?" ”
