"Niutou Mountain?" Zhao Li repeated, it seems that he has heard of this name somewhere.

"Okay, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and when you should know, you'll know. Shi Yongnian sighed after speaking, and sat down cross-legged, no longer paying attention to Zhao Li.

"Niutou Mountain... Niutou Mountain..." Zhao Li casually found a tree to lean on, and searched in his mind for Zhao Goudi's memories to see if there were any relevant clues, but the result was nothing.

"Looks like I'm misremembering. Zhao Li closed his eyes and was about to take a nap, when suddenly, a fragment flashed in his mind, it was three days ago.

Steward Zhang shook his head and said: "In fact, on Niutou Mountain, fifty miles north of Zhangjiabao, there is a group of strong men, there are two hundred people, all of them are steel knives and steel guns, do you think that with one hundred and ten rough and reckless people's guards, you can keep Zhangjiabao peaceful?"

"Niutou Mountain, two hundred strongmen, steel knives and steel guns..." Zhao Li thought in his heart, seeing that this initiation ceremony was probably related to these robbers, could it be that he was going up the mountain to kill the robbers? Then he sent twenty official disciples and Steward Zhang out to protect himself? No, he decided not to be so big-faced, and he also sent a sick eldest prince out to do something? This is not like a fight with the robbers.

Zhao Li adheres to the fine tradition of thinking when he can't figure it out, and simply closes his eyes and rests.

Two hours later, the moon rises in the middle of the sky.

Woohoo Blah ·

Zhao Li, who was sitting and sleeping lightly, seemed to hear the trampling sound of a large number of horses' hooves from far and near, as well as the sound of whistles one after another, and suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

The first thing I saw was the surrounding group of Zhangjiabao disciples, who were extinguishing the bonfire, distributing horses at the same time, and some people were arranging their swords.

"Ride your horse and don't get left behind. A disciple of Zhangjiabao stuffed the reins of a horse into Zhao Li's hand and gave a vague admonition.

Zhao Li didn't ask much, anyway, he didn't have anything to tidy up, so he picked up the small baggage and gourd and rode on his horse, ready to follow and set off.

With the sound of horses' hooves and whistles outside the forest, after a while, the bonfires in the forest were extinguished, and no one was lighting torches.

"Let's go!" Steward Zhang shouted in a low voice, and together with the carriage of Grand Prince Zhang, he took the lead in walking towards the forest.

Shi Yongnian and another disciple of the Zhang family came to Zhao Li's left and right and said, "Brother Zhao, ride your horse carefully when it gets dark, and we will follow you." ”

Zhao Li looked at the two people who came to his left and right, both of them were long knives on their waists, although their tone was calm, but their hands were pressed on the handle of the knife, so they simply smiled: "Okay, there are two Lao." ”

Zhao Li followed a group of Zhangjiabao disciples to ride out of this grove on horseback, and couldn't help but look stunned.

Outside the forest is a large meadow, through the moonlight, you can see not far away, there are hundreds of horses running back and forth, in the forest heard the sound of horses' hooves and whistles is from them, what is even more frightening is that these hundreds of horses are all holding blades, reflecting a little cold light in the moonlight.

The hundred horsemen in the distance saw the carriage and the horse team in the forest coming out, and let out a long whistle, and galloped into the distance.

"Huh-" Steward Zhang, who was at the front, also blew a long whistle, and rode his horse in the direction of the hundred horsemen, and the carriage and the disciples of Zhangjiabao followed in a line.

"Who are those?" Zhao Li asked Shi Yongnian on the side, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

"When it's time to know, you'll know. Shi Yongnian's answer made Zhao Li a little familiar.

Zhao Li looked at Shi Yongnian by the moonlight, and was surprised to find that at some point, he had taken off his original clothes and changed into a black dress, and then looked back, only to see that the Zhangjiabao disciples around him were all dressed in black.

More than 20 horsemen in Zhangjiabao rode in the dark night, chasing the hundred horsemen and horses by the faint moonlight, galloping all the way for almost half an hour, only to see a little faint fire in the distance, and the hundred horsemen and horses in front suddenly slowed down and scattered the formation to the small firelight.

"Huh-huh-" Steward Zhang, who was at the front, suddenly blew two more short whistles, and more than 20 horsemen in Zhangjiabao also slowed down instantly, and then Zhao Li saw that Shi Yongnian beside him took out a black cloth and covered most of his face, only revealing his forehead and a pair of eyes.

With the encirclement of hundreds of horsemen and horses in front, the faint fire in the distance also reacted, several torches or bonfires were lit in a row, and at the same time, there was a noise from afar, Zhao Li squinted his eyes, it seemed to be a small camp.

"Brother Zhao, don't ask too much, don't talk, just look. Shi Yongnian, who was covering his face, said to Zhao Li in a commanding tone, and at the same time stepped forward to grab Zhao Li's horse's head, and controlled Zhao Li's horses to slowly move towards the hundred horsemen and small camp in front.

After a while, Zhao Li first saw the hundred horsemen and horses who had been chasing for half an hour, these people did not cover their faces, all of them were strong men, all of them were holding shiny steel knives and steel guns in their hands, and their clothes were not uniform, and they were wearing everything.

When these people saw more than 20 horsemen in Zhangjiabao, they all got out of the way, and one of them shouted to the leading steward Zhang: "The big boss is waiting for you in front." ”

More people looked at Zhao Li curiously, and some people opened their mouths and asked the accompanying disciples of Zhangjiabao, "Is this bringing new people to see the world?"

Zhao Li didn't say a word, rode on a horse and followed the team, no need to ask, Zhao Li was bright, these hundred horsemen and horses must be the robbers on Niutou Mountain.

Soon, the people of Zhangjiabao arrived not far from the small camp, and the people of Zhangjiabao dismounted one after another, only the carriage of the eldest prince did not move, Zhao Li saw that Steward Zhang approached one of the hundred horsemen, and began to talk to each other.

Looking at the small camp a hundred meters away, Zhao Li saw clearly, this was a temporary camp surrounded by several carriages, and the people inside were all up, and the noise from the camp and the cries of the women could be faintly heard.

"What is this going to do?" Zhao Li looked at Shi Yongnian, who had always been by his side, and it was obvious that the two official disciples of Zhangjiabao were not following him to protect his safety.

"Can't you guess that these people are the bandits on Niutou Mountain. Shi Yongnian was in the dark, only revealing a pair of eyes, looking at Zhao Li, and said softly: "As for what to do, you can know it immediately, let me remind you again, this is your entrance ceremony." ”
