In the dark woods, there was a little fire in the distance, and the masked man who took the lead waved his hand to stop everyone, drew out the steel knife at his waist, and looked ahead intently.

It turned out that this person was none other than Ding Hong, who took Zhuang Ding, the tenant of Dingjiazhuang, to block the way of this group of masked people.

"It seems that Senior Brother is really clever? I expected you to come to Dingjiazhuang tonight, and you still wore a scarf and didn't dare to see anyone? Go ahead! Who instructed you to be so ruthless? Ding Hong staggered over and asked, pointing to the masked man who took the lead.

"Give me brothers! There are not many of them, since they forced me to break the rules, let's go on a killing spree! The masked man waved his right hand, and the crowd followed him and slashed at him with their weapons.

I saw that this man in black was fighting with Ding Hong, obviously these were not wine bags and rice bags, compared to these Zhuang Ding tenants, they immediately had some difficulty in parrying.

"Just with a dozen or so of you farmers, you still want to block the uncle's way, and you don't weigh two taels of cotton spinning, it's just a dead end." The black-clothed masked man waved the steel knife in his hand and kept slashing at Ding Hong.

"These guys are really powerful, let's retreat!" Ding Hong waved the tenant Zhuang Ding, got out of the way, and retreated to the side.

The black-clad masked man had no intention of chasing, so he took his men with him, turned around and ran into the depths of the woods.

"Little master! We obviously have other people, why did we only arrange these ten or so people, you deliberately let them go back, right? The soybean watched the black-clothed masked man run away, and asked with some puzzlement.

"Hahaha! You'll naturally understand later, let's take a path! Walk! Ding Hong took the tenant Zhuang Ding and turned around and walked towards the path in the woods beside him.

I saw this black-clothed masked man running all the way, obviously the encirclement of Ding Hong and others did not arouse their suspicion, and then went to the Sunset Valley outside the woods.

This Sunset Valley is often troubled, so the merchants and people in this vicinity will generally take a detour, as for what is going on here? No one dared to go and find out.

I saw a head poking out from the top of the canyon, staring intently at the group of people, and after recognizing the black-clothed masked man, he took out a torch from behind the big rock and waved it three times at the top of the opposite slope.

I saw that at the mouth of this sunset valley, a team of mountain village husbands rushed out, led by a middle-aged woman, this person is the valley owner Ouyang Xiuzhong!

"Big boss! We have already succeeded, and it is estimated that this Ding Wenjun, this child, will naturally compromise with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court and lend the grain and grass of Dingjiazhuang a few more times. The black-clothed masked man looked at Ouyang Xiuzhong coming, and then bent down and hugged his fists and said.

"Thank you Brother Zhou Xian, and you have worked hard for all the brothers, if it weren't for this chaos, I wouldn't have accepted the requirements of this court, and now I only want to protect myself, so I have to be sorry for Master Ding of Dingjiazhuang, I'm tired! Hurry back to the camp and rest! The middle-aged woman was a little helpless, and waved her hand to welcome the group of masked people into the Sunset Valley.

When they had gone, a pair of eyes saw all this in the woods opposite, and they turned back and went deeper into the woods behind.

I saw dozens of people in this forest, led by the two brothers Ding Hong and Ding Ran! Zhuang Ding, who was exploring the way, whispered in his ear: "That's right! This group of masked men is the same as the people of Sunset Valley, how to deal with it now? ”

"Stand down! It just doesn't make sense! This Sunset Valley has nothing to do with my Dingjiazhuang, and it actually poisoned the people in my village one after another, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, this blood debt must be recovered. Ding Ran pulled out the sword at his waist and waved his hand to his tenant Zhuang Dingyan.

Ding Hong stepped forward to stop his cousin Ding Ran, waved his hand and shook his head and said: "I think this matter is not so simple, if they intend to harm the eldest uncle, they will not let this cauliflower snake without poisonous juice be released, I think let's go to the theory first, salute first and then soldier!" How about you look at this? ”

"They won't be able to run anyway! Just let them live for a few more hours, soybeans, you go to Qinghualing to move troops to help, I'll see what tricks this Ouyang mother-in-law can play? Ding Ran turned around and said to the soybean.

Ding Ran arranged for everyone to wait outside, and he and Ding Hong ran towards the outside of the woods, only to see that the secret whistle on the top of the Sunset Valley had already waved torches to report to the brothers in the valley behind.

As soon as Ding Hong and the others arrived at the mouth of the valley, they saw this group of people and horses coming out, holding torches and steel knives, blocking their way.

"Who's coming? Coming to my Sunset Valley in the middle of the night, what do you want? I saw the leader of the mountain, waving the steel knife in his hand and asked.

"Well said, well said! The two of us are from Dingjiazhuang, and we came to visit the lord of Ouyang Valley, and we will pass it on our behalf! Ding Hong looked at the mountain leader who took the lead, bent down and hugged his fists and said.

"What's this? Are you really from Nading's house? Wait here first, I'll go in and pass the word, you can see carefully, this is full of my brothers from Sunset Valley, everyone had better follow the rules, otherwise don't blame us for being polite. The leader summoned his men, whispered in his ear, and then turned and went into the valley.

In less than half a moment, I saw this Ouyang Xiuzhong come to this valley mouth, looked at Ding Hong and the others, and then hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that it is really the two young masters of the Ding family?" In the middle of the night, I thought that this subordinate was talking nonsense, and I didn't expect to really welcome two distinguished guests, so please come inside! ”

Ding Hong and the others followed behind Ouyang Xiuzhong and walked towards the Sunset Valley, only to see the towering cliffs on both sides, and a fish-intestine path in the middle, extending all the way forward.

The narrow path finally came to an end, and I saw the green grassy lawn everywhere outside the exit, and the faint candlelight shining through the trees opposite.

Ouyang Xiuzhong pointed to the woods, turned his head and said to Ding Hong and the others: "In front of me is the camp of my Sunset Valley, all of them are the people who have fled around here, and the place is very simple, I hope you will be more considerate." ”

"We're just here to find someone, not to come to you, as long as you say it properly and get away, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." Ding Ran muttered in his mouth, and Ding Hong shook his head and waved his hand to stop him.

The two of them followed Ouyang Xiuzhong, all the way along the sunset valley, only to see that the narrow road finally came to an end, and when they looked back at the top of the stone wall, they saw their heads poking out from time to time.

I saw that the outside suddenly opened up, the ground was full of green grass, and on the half-slope of this terraced field, rows of thatched houses came into view.

"This is their big village in Sunset Valley, it seems that there are still a lot of people! I'll see what she has to say later. Ding Ran looked at the thatched houses around him and said with some disdain.

This Ouyang Xiuzhong took Ding Hong and the others up the stone steps, only to see the moonlight shining on the thatched house, which looked a little quiet.

Suddenly, a person burst out of the thatched house on the roof, watching Ouyang Xiu come forward, he was about to come over to say hello, but when he saw Ding Hong and the others, he quickly turned around and went into the house......
