Chapter 197: Outwitting the Bandits

"You, you have a kind, I didn't expect you to be so insidious, it's really a good seedling, as long as you promise to join me Qingfeng Mountain, I will let her go." As he spoke, he put the knife on Zheng Ting's neck.

Zheng Ting has become very calm now, as if she is no longer afraid of the bandits, biting her little lip and not saying a word, but her eyes have been staring at Mao Xiaoshan.

Mao Xiaoshan smiled: "What do you want me to do?" Look at me, I can't save you. ”

And at this time, suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves from the distant mountains, and they were all holding torches, like a long dragon, two people in a row, walking towards Mao Xiaoshan, the bandit leader didn't look good, the officers and soldiers came, if that's the case, we really can't go, the officers and soldiers are not better than the family, the family has to care about the safety of their eldest lady, the officers and soldiers can't care about these, the officers and soldiers have long hated the people of Qingfeng Mountain, and they can finally catch them, and there is a leader in the middle, they are not desperate, if they really have to wait for the officers and soldiers to arrive, They can't leave if they want to, and the bandit leader knows this better than anyone else.

Mao Xiaoshan also saw the torch, smiled and glanced at the bandit leader, but didn't say anything, at this time, all the family members surrounded the four of them, and it was not easy to rush out from that side, and many of the family members were also riding horses, and it seemed that Zheng Jiazhuang's horses were all ridden.

At this time, the ranks of the official army were getting closer and closer to them, and the bandit leader was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Mao Xiaoshan saw that it was almost time, and smiled: "How is it?" Figured it out? If you don't let them go, you won't have a chance. ”

The bandit leader looked at the three people behind him, and the bandit with a mole on his face said: "Big brother, let it go, you see that the official army is getting closer and closer, and it is really impossible to let the official army surround us." ”

The other two also hurried to respond; Everyone is afraid of death, and the bandits are no exception, the bandit leader saw that there was only this way to go, and glanced at Mao Xiaoshan: "Okay! I'm going to sell you a favor and hope you keep your promise. As he spoke, he escorted Miss Zheng to Mao Xiaoshan.

Mao Xiaoshan was very smart and knew what he wanted to do, so he let the family flash a way, the three thieves slapped their horses and rushed out, and the bandit leader saw that they were far away, and glanced at Mao Xiaoshan: "Then, he threw Zheng Ting towards Mao Xiaoshan." ”

Mao Xiaoshan had already prepared for the accident, and he was still holding a dart in his hand, when he saw that he threw Zheng Ting over, the dart was forgotten, a little on his toes, more than two meters long, and he caught Zheng Ting steadily, Mao Xiaoshan and others stood firm and wanted to chase the thief, but the thief had already run away, and Mao Xiaoshan was angry: "Alas! Let them run. ”

At this time, a family member came with two fires and said to Mao Xiaoshan: "Brother Mao, Brother Mao, they are gone, we don't need to lift it again!" ”

Mao Xiaoshan laughed: "Big brother has worked hard, don't lift it, let's go back quickly, don't let the thieves come back and chase it back." Saying that a family leader led a horse, Mao Xiaoshan hugged Zheng Ting and rode on the horse, so you can't walk back in the dignified lady! Besides, she can't walk now, she is frightened, her legs are weak, and she has the strength to walk.

It turned out that when the family came, they didn't arrive, but only one came, so Mao Xiaoshan heard the words of the family to report to the official, so he came up with a way, pretending to be an official and soldier, what if there are few people? Let one person carry two torches, so that it will become two people, and let one family member go to stop the family member behind him, and pass on Mao Xiaoshan's words, Mao Xiaoshan is a martial artist in Zhuangzi, and everyone listens to him very much, so they do it.

Mao Xiaoshan also told them not to get too close, just turn around not far away, which scared the thieves away.

That's why Mao Xiaoshan hugged her, Mao Xiaoshan still treated her as a child, Zheng Ting was lying in Mao Xiaoshan's arms, motionless, Mao Xiaoshan knew that Zheng Ting was frightened, and smiled: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"I, I'm fine! Brother Mao, thank you! Zheng Ting whispered.

"Don't, don't call me big brother, I can't stand it, I'm just a martial artist, it's within my duty to protect you and the outside." Mao Xiaoshan hurriedly said.

"I have to thank you no matter what, you will be my big brother in the future." said that Zheng Ting didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and lay in Mao Xiaoshan's arms.

After a while, under the protection of the family, Mao Xiaoshan and Zheng Ting returned to Zhengjiazhuang, just arrived at the entrance of the village, Zheng Yuanwai greeted him, saw Mao Xiaoshan, and said with a smile: "Mao, Master Mao, it seems that the old man has not looked away, if it wasn't for the fact that I invited you to come to my house as a martial artist, the little girl may be in danger." ”

Mao Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "Outside, look at what your old man said, if you hadn't taken it in, I would still be suffering outside." ”

The two of them were polite, Zheng Yuanwai held a banquet in the inner house to thank Mao Xiaoshan, Mao Xiaoshan couldn't refuse, so he had to go, Zheng Yuanwai also told the tent that all the families had rewards, which made the families in the courtyard happy.

Zhengjiazhuang is under the management of Zheng Yuan, it is not fast to get the table of wine and food, and after a while, the wine and food are put on the table, Zheng Yuan and Xiao Mao Xiao sat down before and after, and also found two older people to accompany them, Zheng Yuanwai said before the banquet: "Master Mao, I respect you for this first glass of wine, if it weren't for you, my daughter would not be able to come back today." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and handed it to Mao Xiaoshan.

Mao Xiaoshan is not stupid, he dared to drink this glass of wine, and hurriedly said: "Outside, you still call me Xiaoshan!" It's also a little more intimate. As he spoke, he saw the glass of wine and said: "Outside, I can't drink a glass of wine, I can save the eldest lady, that's everyone's credit, I, I'm just learning to speak." ”

When Zheng Yuanwai heard this, he couldn't help but appreciate it, thinking to himself, he is a talent that can be created, this person is not arrogant, and he also knows etiquette, which is rare, and looked at Mao Xiaoshan with a smile: "That's it, that's Tingting to give you a cup." He glanced back.

I saw a maid enter the inner room, and after a while, Zheng Ting and her mother came out together, Zheng Ting's mother looked like a virtuous person, and after seeing Mao Xiaoshan, she walked to Zheng Yuanwai's side: "Old man, is this the hero of Zheng our daughter?" ”

Zheng Yuanwai nodded: "It's him, don't look at him as a discipline, but Shentong Taoluo, if he hadn't let the family pretend to be a suspicious soldier just now, I'm afraid our daughter would still be in the hands of the bandits?" ”

Mao Xiaoshan hurriedly waved his hand: "You praised it!" ”

At this time, Zheng Ting also walked over with a red face, and Zheng Yuanwai hurriedly said: "Tingting, your life-saving benefactor is here, why don't you toast a glass of wine." ”

Zheng Ting's mother is virtuous, and the daughter she taught is also very sensible, nodded, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine, and brought it to Mao Xiaoshan: "Engong, I salute you." ”

Mao Xiaoshan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say once his face was over, Zheng Yuanwai said: "You have to drink this glass of wine no matter how incoherent." ”

Mao Xiaoshan had no choice but to drink, and then Zheng Ting poured another cup and said: "People say that good things come in pairs, and Engong should drink two cups." ”

The two of them smiled and said: "Yes, yes, good things come in pairs, one drink is orderly, and another drink." Mao Xiaoshan had no choice but to drink another drink, and Zheng Yuanwai saw that his daughter was so sensible, so he stroked his beard and smiled.

As soon as Mao Xiaoshan put down the wine glass, Zheng Ting poured another glass: "Engong, this third glass of wine is my tribute to you for my father and mother, you must drink it!" ”

Mao Xiaoshan thought to himself, this eldest lady really has a lot of eyes, if you say more, I have to get drunk, so I had to look at Zheng Yuanwai with pleading eyes, Zheng Yuanwai smiled: "Drink, I respected you just now, you don't drink, now my daughter respects, you should drink it!" ”

Mao Xiaoshan thought to himself, just drink it, drink this cup more, and you won't be able to die, and the third cup will be down as soon as you raise your neck.

Zheng Ting just wanted to pour it again, but Mao Xiaoshan hurriedly grabbed the wine glass: "No, you can't drink it anymore, I'll be drunk if I drink it again." ”

An old man who accompanied him said: "How much do you drink, you have made a great contribution today, you should drink more." ”

Mao Xiaozi thought to himself, talking to them about something else, it was pure nonsense, I had to scare them, then it would work, Mao Xiaoshan said: "Outside, it's not that I don't drink, I have to patrol the night later, what if I get drunk and the thieves come again?" ”

This is really useful for a mountain pass, Zheng Yuanwai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you can't drink anymore, let's eat more food, you are tired all night, eat more food." As he spoke, he moved the plate towards Mao Xiaoshan.

Mao Xiaoshan was relieved, Zheng Ting glanced at Mao Xiaoshan affectionately: "Engong, you use it slowly." ”

Mao Xiaoshan smiled: "Miss, don't always open your mouth for a favor and close your mouth for a grace father, it sounds very awkward, can you change it, such as calling the eldest brother or something." ”

Zheng Yuanwai was also very happy today, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, call the eldest brother." ”

Zheng Ting smiled slightly and said softly: "Big brother! "Saying that I will give Mao Xiaoshan a blessing; Mao Xiaoshan was flattered and frightened, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, big ......, sister, please get up." ”

Zheng Ting's face flushed, smiled slightly and went back to the inner room with her mother, Mao Xiaoshan thought, today is really good, I recognized a sister, and in the future, who dares to look down on me in this courtyard, it is really proud.

The four of them drank a little more, and Mao Xiaoshan was also very happy, so he drank more, and by the time the banquet was over, it was almost dawn, and the thieves should not come.

Mao Xiaoshan didn't wake up until noon the next day, Mao Xiaoshan just wanted to go to the ground, and a maid came in outside, so frightened that Mao Xiaoshan hurriedly got into the quilt again, and said in a hurry: "You, you are the maid in the inner courtyard, right?" Why did you get to my house? ”

I saw this maid smile slightly: "My big hero, you are awake, look at the one who scares you, even the bandits are not afraid, how can you be afraid of me, afraid of being like this, am I more powerful than the bandits?" ”

Mao Xiaoshan smiled slightly and scratched his head: "Sister maid, you, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" ”

"I don't understand this, you have made a great contribution and saved the eldest lady, in order to take care of you, let me take care of you, you don't have to be like them in the future, just teach them to practice martial arts." The maid explained.

"Oh, thank you, Sister Maid."

"That's this kind of people, it's ugly, my name is Zheng Hong, you can call me Xiaohong in the future!" The maid said with a smile.

Mao Xiaoshan also smiled, it was indeed inappropriate to scream like that, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know how to applaud, so although you scream, don't be angry." ”

"Yo, I dare to be angry with you as a hero! If that's the case, the whole village will not be able to eat me, and even the eldest lady and the staff will not be able to spare me. As he spoke, he took out two clean clothes and handed them to Mao Xiaoshan: "I washed your clothes for you in the morning, they have dried, you can put them on!" ”

Mao Xiaoshan blushed and smiled: "Thank you!" Took the clothes, but Mao Xiaoshan didn't wear them, Xiaohong glanced at him, covered her mouth and smiled: "A dignified hero who fights bandits will be shy, it's really laughing to death, okay, I don't look at you, you wear clothes!" He walked out.

Mao Xiaoshan was relieved, and hurriedly put on his clothes, for fear that Xiaohong would wear them in for a while, and after a while, Mao Xiaoshan was dressed neatly, Xiaohong gave him face wash, and mouthwash, and lunch for him, which made Mao Xiaoshan very uncomfortable.
