Stable days are always not too long, and people can't be comfortable. When the big guys in the eighteen villages were working, a whistle sounded, and I saw the long-legged general quickly run into the village from the hillside outside the village and said loudly and hurriedly to everyone: The group of strongmen in Liujian Fort is here again, this time about five or six miles away, more than ten horsemen, followed by a small team, that is a team of eagles and dogs, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty people, stop and go, about half an hour or so. When Du Heng, the owner of the village, heard this, he immediately called Xiao Liuzi and a few stewards, and everyone discussed together.

"Let's just follow what the little scholar said, we are ready to prepare!" When the long-haired Taoist heard that he was going to prepare, he immediately got up and left. Xiao Liuzi waved his hand and said, Wait a minute! Carefully analyzing the current situation with everyone, the number of strongmen in that group has been determined, and they can generally act according to the original strategy, but there are eagles and dogs in this team, so we must do a good job of protective nets and tripping ropes, etc., so as not to hurt our own people's .......

Hearing Xiao Liuzi's order like this, everyone scattered around and prepared the things they had already prepared. At the same time, they had laid an ambush in advance in the woods on the hillside in front of the wall, just waiting for the arrival of the group of strongmen in Liujian Fort.

Xiao Liuzi and the four stewards who were in charge of the battle gathered again and said: I will go up the tree first, hide it, and fight the outcropping and the flying eagle, and you will act according to the plan. Looking at this battle, there should be no problem, after all, we are a team of seventy or eighty idle people and other martial artists who deal with them forty or fifty people, and we can probably be called evenly matched. Not long after the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard. With a few eagles and howling dogs, Xiao Liuzi could already see the leader standing on the tree. Xiao Liuzi hurriedly said to the people below: Wait a minute, mix the horse's legs first and then ...... charge.

Sure enough, the warriors of Liujian Fort ran forward along the road, and when they were less than half a mile away from the Eighteen Villages, a resolute man suddenly pulled up the stumbling rope. I only heard plop, plop, plop, plop! pulled down three big horses one after another, and the people under them saw it and quickly stopped their horses. The people behind also stopped suddenly, and just naturally formed a long snake array. The thin monk and the Tibetan god were overjoyed when they saw such a familiar scene on the mountain road that they had often practiced recently, and immediately informed the men in their team to pick up the bamboo poles with sharp spikes and rush down. In an instant, the long snake array was crumpled into pieces, and then the long-haired Dao Chang and the flower tongue immediately rushed forward with their team, and without saying a word, they knocked out the weapons in their hands with three strikes and five divisions. The eagle sparrow was flying wildly, the yellow dog was barking, and the leading martial artist had to come back to his senses and reorganize everyone to gather together to resist. Standing on the branches, the little six sons saw clearly, and when they saw that they were showing signs of counterattack, he took up his bow and arrows and shot at the horses and dogs of those who were shouting loudly.

He was really a well-trained martial artist, and soon someone discovered where he was hiding, and immediately drove the eagle to attack him. Xiao Liuzi calmly raised his hand with an arrow and shot down the rushing falcon. When this group of strongmen saw that there were actually sharpshooters here, they could pay it back, so they should flee quickly! I don't know which daredevils said the word "Sa", as soon as the martial artists of Liujian Fort heard someone shouting to withdraw, they hurriedly hugged their heads and ran back one by one, regardless of what other people were, and ran back along the road by themselves, thinking that this time they really shouldn't have come, but hated that their parents had lost two legs. Who knew that today's rabbits were so powerful, and when the team of men and horses galloped for nearly two or three miles, someone looked back and saw that no one was chasing them, so they stopped and gasped for breath. After all, it was a trained team, and the leader asked everyone to check their bodies and utensils and equipment, and it was okay! Except for the lack of eagles, dogs, horses, and weapons, there was no damage to the body, and there were not many casualties; As soon as everyone was combined, now they had to walk to the castle dejectedly and honestly return to their lives.

Xiao Liuzi watched this group of strongmen flee far away, and hurriedly whistled and didn't chase after him. As the saying goes: the poor Kou Mo chases, not to mention that his team has not undergone any training, and the garrison commanders also rushed out of the stockade with the whistle, and drove weapons, horses, yellow dogs, etc. into their own stockade. At this time, everyone was already gathered from all directions, and when they saw the little gentleman, they hurriedly lifted him up and cheered and celebrated. Du Heng, the owner of the village, watched everyone win the battle, so he followed their wishes and did not interrupt to continue to be happy. After waiting for this excitement to end, everyone gathered together again in the tent hall, and the lord of Du Zhai looked at the brothers in the hall and said: "Good! Good! It is only because we have received the relief and help of the little gentleman here that we have won today's victory." Come on, first of all, I will give Mr. Xiao a bowl of wine. As soon as the hot wine was drunk, the lord of Du Zhai said: Now that he has won the battle, he also asked the little gentleman to say, what should I do now?

Xiao Liuzi calmed down, cleared his throat and said: I watched the battle just now, I watched it carefully on the branches, and everyone cooperated very well. It's just that this battle is won, and the reputation of the eighteen villages is bound to be great outside, and I am afraid that in the future, not only the strongmen of Liujian Fort will come to harass, but also the strongmen of other Dazhai will come to harass everyone. Therefore, at this time, it is imperative to make a serious 800 walled gate and city wall, and of course, at the same time, to make arrangements for various defenses and outposts. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it is necessary to open up the wasteland and transform the fertile land to cope with the disaster year. The livestock caught this time should not be killed, and can be mixed and bred with their own livestock in case of emergency. Otherwise, eating and drinking will be a problem in the future as the team grows larger and larger. I have been walking from Mobei, and I have seen a lot of idle people and homeless people along the way, if there are such people who pass by here on weekdays, they can be contained to ...... prestige.

Listening to Mr. Lala's miscellaneous words, everyone's ears were about to become calloused. When I was upset, I only heard Bingzhong's words turn around, and Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and I will definitely rush home, and it is impossible to keep the New Year with everyone. Disturbing everyone so much today, I will say goodbye. In this hall, as soon as they heard that the little gentleman was leaving, everyone suddenly fell silent. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, we all knew that Mr. Xiao was going to leave, but no one thought that he would leave so soon. Just finished this victory and was about to leave, which made people feel a little sad and sad. is still the owner of the village, Du Heng immediately settled down and said: Since Mr. Xiao is leaving, we will not keep him, and we must not affect Mr. Xiao's future because of our own selfishness. If Brother Jingxuan does not abandon us and other mountain and wild horses, I think that this village will become stronger in the future, and it can also be used as another foundation for Mr. Xiao to settle down. I'm going to worship Mr. Xiao as a copycat military advisor today, I don't know if you are willing?

As soon as the big guys heard what the owner of the village said, their hearts suddenly opened up, their emotions were excited, and they applauded again and again. At that moment, everyone worshiped Xiao Liuzi as a military advisor one by one. Xiao Liuzi thought to himself, this was good, and he wanted to take this opportunity to escape quickly, but he was pulled deeper and deeper by them. I could only smile indifferently like this, and thought to myself, let him go!

At noon the next day, after eating Zhuangxing wine, I discussed the journey with the owner of Du Zhai and others. As soon as you take the waterway, you can reach it in one day at the earliest, but our cottage is not yet open to the waterway, and we don't see the docking. One is to take the dry road, which is the official road, and it takes about two or three days to arrive, but you must pass through Liujian Fort. Just because I have just fought against Liujian Fort, the wind will definitely be very tight, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, it is best to walk around. Therefore, everyone suggested that if you take the dry road, you should take the mountain road that winds around the mountains, but the days will be longer for a day or two; Today is already the nineteenth day of the lunar month, if he gallops on a horse, he can rush home when he is young, even if there is a delay on the way, the time to return home is very generous. Everyone prepared dry food for Bingzhong, and when they said goodbye to you, they rode their horses along the mountain road and rushed back.

Turning over Lijiapo, Bingzhong saw a small hill standing in front of him from a distance on the horse, I can't say how steep it is, but the mountain is very beautiful. Walking forward, something flashed in his eyes in a trance, and he immediately looked at it, and it turned out that there was a dilapidated mountain gate not far away. The shining place is the plaque on the mountain gate. So, the horse came to the mountain gate, and looked at the three big characters vaguely written on it: Dingyang Temple. It's just that the old and disrepaired gold paint has peeled off, and when Zhang Bingzhong was hesitating whether to go in, the mountain gate opened slightly, stretched out a small bald head, and said to the little sixth son: The donor is invited, and the abbot of my house said that there is a guest here. When Xiao Liuzi was wondering and hesitating, the novice in front of the door said again: Please go to the guest room to talk about it.

As the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe, and Xiao Liuzi did not hesitate to dismount and tie the reins, and followed Xiao Shami to the mountain gate. As soon as he walked into the guest room, he saw an old monk sitting there looking at him with a smile. I saw that this monk was dressed in a hundred monk's robes, but he was not sloppy. His face was wrinkled, his white beard hung under his chin, and a string of ebony beads in his hand had been twisted and oily, but when he saw a pair of porcelain tea sets on the table, he pointed with his hand at will, "Please sit down, tired for a while, rest and rest here with me, and eat a bowl of tea." ”

When Xiao Liuzi just wanted to ask the old monk how he knew about my arrival, the old man didn't allow him to talk, and said to himself. "I don't keep you much, but I'll just talk to you for a word or two, and if you want to, stay with me for the night, and if you don't want to go home. ”

Xiao Liuzi nodded in praise, put down his luggage and sat in front of the old monk and slowly tasted tea, quietly listening to the old monk talking to himself. "The donor has a relationship with our temple, and the elders of the previous generation once said to me when they were alive that there will be a noble person passing by here this year, and they should be diligent in receiving them to make good connections. The glory of our temple may be favored by this person, and if it can be blessed, this temple will set a ...... for the gentleman to make incense. "The old monk Xu hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and as soon as he meets Xiao Liuzi, he speaks and always talks eloquently. Bingzhong was thinking in his heart that this old monk could nag better than himself. After waiting for the tea, the old monk finally finished talking to himself. Bingzhong hurriedly thanked and said good, thinking that he was going to hurry home and prepare to leave. Unexpectedly, the old monk raised his hand to stop him, and took out a bag from his arms to give to the little sixth son. When Xiao Liuzi was about to open it, he saw that the old man was still nagging in his mouth: "Little donor, slow down, don't worry, be sure to bring this bag with you, this is a gift from my family to the guest officer." If he encounters a desperate situation in his year, he can open it and take a look, and he will definitely be able to guide the guest officer to the way out. In addition, the old man also had a side to tell the guest officer, and the guest officer must remember to remember.

"The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, and the dragon dives in a thousand pages. When you meet gold, you stop, you live when you encounter wood, you win when you meet water, you win when you meet fire, and you are the ancestor when you meet earth. I saw that after the old monk finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, and no longer paid attention to the little six sons. When Zhang Bingzhong saw this, he had no choice but to thank him and turn around and leave. He said goodbye to the little novice, untied the reins but did not mount his horse. At this time, Bingzhong's mind was full of the verses, although there were five elements, but the meaning was unknown, which was quite annoying. When I wanted to open the bag in my arms, the old monk's words echoed in my ears at this moment, and we must wait until we are desperate to be effective. In desperation, Bingzhong could only endure this boundless curiosity. There was always no result, so he walked and turned over and rode forward.

Along the way, over this Dingyang Mountain, but also around the mountain for nearly a hundred miles, want to rush home in one go, it is really a bit of a bit of a dastard. Thinking of this horse, I couldn't stand this toss, and the sky gradually fell into the night, so I had to find a shop to fight. Fortunately, there is a temple in the middle of the mountain in front of it, and there must be houses around it. After a short time, Xiao Liuzi found a farmer's family and lived in a scattered manner. In the winter night, the moon is cold and the stars are scarce, Xiao Liuzi paced in the yard of the farmhouse by the faint moonlight, although it has been a long time, but in his current mind, it is still the inexplicable piece that echoes the ...... again.
