"Big Brother Sanhua" cottage in a secret mountain range outside Kyoto, before the accident in Beijing, almost all the bandits and bandits around Kyoto have been swept away, this "Big Brother Sanhua" is then with his own little brother to hide in this cottage that no one cares about, life is also a good life, lack of money to go to the small road outside the city to rob a few businessmen who evade taxes, think of women in batches to the city Qinglou happy and happy.

However, according to the little leader, there is something wrong with their eldest brother recently, but he can't say what is wrong.

And the road to the mountain range is also a rugged mountain road, this way will take at least three days, Chu Nian didn't want to take a few secret guards, for fear that too many people will arouse the other party's vigilance, but Ming Xiu didn't let it, he only gave Chu Nian three options: "Take me, take the secret guard, don't go." ”

Ming Xiu is naturally inseparable from the capital now...... In desperation, Chu Nian had no choice but to bring a few secret guards, and only then was Ming Xiu reluctantly let go.

Along the way, the little leader walked very consciously in front to explore the way for Chu Nian and the others, and the secret guards generally moved forward in a high place, and they could still see some of the situation in front of the road, under Chu Nian's spur, the little leader walked extremely fast.

Seeing this, he saw a towering mountain, and the little leader turned his head sideways to look at Chu Nian and said, "County Lord, this is the mountain, but let's talk about it first, we will sell you the news, can you go back and report our nest when you go back to Beijing." ”

Chu Nian smiled disdainfully, this person really can only be a minion for the rest of his life, since their boss can rest assured that she is the lord of a country to come here to exchange news, and is not even afraid of someone in the dark ambush, it proves that he is simply ready not to let the tiger return to the mountain, and even more, he may be ready to break the net with Chu Nianyu.

It's just that Chu Nian doesn't remember that he offended such a person.

At this stall, I saw the little leader walking towards a path up the mountain with excitement on his face: "This way, county lord, I can finally go home......

Chu Nian followed behind the little leader alone, and just entered this mountain forest, the secret guards were afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they had already hidden, and at this moment Chu Nian looked at the little leader in some surprise and said, "Home? But just a cottage, can it still be called home? ”

There seemed to be a sour flash in the eyes of the little leader, but after a moment, he said with a smile: "Of course the Wushuang county lord will not understand, the little family was bullied by the rich because of poverty very early, and the only sister of the little one was also sold to the Qinglou by the thief, and the father and mother fell ill because of this, so he never woke up, and the little one was arrested by the thief and went to work in the house, until a few years ago, my sister secretly ran back from the Qinglou and rescued the little one, and the sister was later ......."

A trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, "Fortunately, I met my eldest brother later, and my eldest brother took me in and lived in the village, and helped me to punish the wicked man, and since then, the cottage has been my only home." ”

Chu Nian's eyes flickered slightly, but after a while, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after a while, she raised her head, looked at the little leader strangely and said, "Your sister, also dead?" ”

Speaking of his sister, the bearded face was suddenly full of loneliness and grief, and at this moment facing the slender woman in front of him, the seven-foot strong man almost cried: "I was very thin because of malnutrition, and I watched my sister being bullied by several dog thieves, and when I finally broke free, my sister was already out of breath." ”

It can be seen that the sadness on the face of this little leader at this moment is not fake, compared to his bravado before he was tortured by Chu Nian and Dark Three in turn, and the false flattery after being tortured, such sadness makes Chu Nian feel deeply when he looks at it.

At this point, I saw him rubbing his eyes, smiled and said: "County Lord, don't say this, I'll go to the village soon......" He paused in his voice, and then said with some hesitation: "Big brother has a bad temper recently, you should be careful." ”

Chu Nian nodded slowly, and saw the heavily guarded cottage not far away.

A bandit cottage, the huge wooden door is even stronger than the iron gate used to defend against foreign enemies, this wooden door is one person high, and the thickness is still unknown, for a moment, Chu Nian even wondered how they opened this gate on weekdays.

As if knowing what Chu Nian was thinking, the little leader on the side opened his mouth and said: "This is the stockade gate designed by our eldest brother later, as long as it is not the person we put in ourselves, this gate can resist thousands of people, if there are really officers and soldiers who catch it, before the officers and soldiers open this door, we can all find ways to slip away through the underground passage, how about it, county lord, amazing, right?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is also an underground passage?" ”

"Yes, a few days ago, our eldest brother ordered us to dig out, this underground passage, until the edge of the official road, there was originally a post station, and the post station was ......"

Seeing Chu Nian's suspicious look, the little leader realized that he had said too much, and immediately stopped, shaking his head again and again: "It's nothing, it's nothing, the county lord don't have to be careful, I didn't say anything." ”

Chu Nian smiled meaningfully, and then turned his eyes to look at the tightly closed door: "Then how do we get in now?" ”

The little leader searched the wooden wall by the door for a long time before he knocked lightly somewhere.

There was a muffled sound from the wall, and then, the wall was pulled apart, and a very withered face was revealed, and a pair of eyes swept over Chu Nian lifelessly, stopping at the little leader's body.

"Liu Er, did you bring people back?"

When the little leader known as Liu Er saw this person, his face was immediately full of excitement: "Yes, second brother, I followed the orders of the eldest brother and brought the Wushuang County Lord back!" ”

The man then glanced at Chu Nian lifelessly, nodded slowly, and then heard a "bang", the small window was slammed shut, and then, there was a sound of thin footsteps from inside the door, and the wooden door made an extremely heavy sound and opened towards the inside.

Suddenly, a huge courtyard appeared in front of Chu Nian's eyes, outside the door was a blank white mist, like a fairyland on earth, but inside the door was a fireworks, there were three or two women carrying children carrying laundry tubs across the courtyard of the scattered cabins, and there was an extremely empty square in the yard, on which were placed all kinds of weapons, and a few strong men were colliding with knives and guns on the square.

However, it makes people feel that something is wrong, what is wrong, Chu Nian can't say clearly, with the loud "bang" of the door behind him being closed again, Chu Nian felt that although there are fireworks in this whole cottage, it makes people feel lifeless.

Everyone has an expression on their faces, if they are serious, only Liu Er beside Chu Nian may be an outlier.

At this moment, Liu Er's face was not very good-looking, he turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's probably because I'm too tired from working these days, and my brothers are ......."

The withered man who had opened the window to talk to Liu Er before came over and nodded slowly towards Chu Nian.

"Wushuang County Lord, come with me, our eldest brother has been waiting for you."

Chu Nian glanced at Liu Er, turned around and looked at the closed door, thinking that the dark three would not be so easy to come in during the day, but it was okay to do so, there were secret guards, and it was always her turn to make a move.

Finally, you can see who the person behind Xiao Chen's is.

Chu Nian followed behind the withered man, Liu Er followed behind Chu Nian, and the three of them passed through almost the entire cottage in this way, and went around to the rear, in front of a small wooden house.

The withered man stepped forward and knocked on the closed door, "Big brother, the unequaled county lord was brought back by Liu Er. ”

There was a loud "bang" sound inside, followed by a strong man's voice: "The county lord is here?" Please come in! ”

The withered man turned his head and glanced at Chu Nian with a warning meaning, then stretched out his hand to push open the closed door, and what caught his eye was a simple wooden bed, next to the wooden bed was the stove, and further west, there was a window, and there was a table next to the window, and there was a book on the table - the words of the title were too small, Chu Nian couldn't see it clearly when he stood at the door, and he could vaguely see that it seemed to be a book on the art of war.

Next to the stove, five big and three thick men were squatting, holding a wooden stick to regulate the fire in the stove, and the black pot above was steaming, and the aroma of stewed meat came from there.

The man got up and turned around, although he was smiling, but there was no trace of anger in his thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Chu Nian's eyes sank slightly, this is not the main master.

The man smiled and said: "County Lord, sit down, don't dislike the poor, I basically don't have people here, I live alone, and I am used to it." ”

Chu Nian smiled slightly, and sat down on the edge of the bed unceremoniously, at this stall, the strong man looked at Liu Er: "Remember your work today, second child, take this kid to receive the reward." ”

The withered man answered, turned around and walked out of the door, at this moment Liu Er looked at the eldest brother he was thinking about, but his face was not very good-looking, he answered in a low voice, turned his eyes and glanced at Chu Nian with complicated eyes, and then turned around and walked out of the door.

Only Chu Nian and the strong man were left in the room, and the strong man fiddled with the stove for a while before lifting the lid of the pot and carefully tasting the soup.

"Well, it tastes good, the county lord came at the right time, there are some peach blossom brews on the village that were snatched from the rich family a few days ago, do you mind if the county lord minds having a drink with the grass people?"

Chu Nian raised his eyes, with a bit of undisguised inquiry in his eyes, but the man was always that lifeless smile, Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded lightly: "The owner of the village warmly invites, how can he not obey." ”

The man smiled, put the table by the window in the middle of the room, and someone brought in a jar of wine from outside, and the wine and food were all in place in a short time, the man invited Chu Nian to sit at the table, the wine cup of the two was full, he raised his glass and said: "Then get straight to the point, I know the news that the county lord wants, but what does the county lord plan to exchange?" ”

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't touch the wine glass, and said with a light smile: "What do I have, the owner of the village knows it clearly, so I want to ask, what does the owner of the village want from me?" ”

The owner of the village looked at Chu Nian meaningfully, and at the end, he drank all the wine in the cup, and the wine glass was put on the table with a "bang", and the force was so great that the whole table trembled.
