Gaoxiang Pavilion is the governance of Gaoxiang, even if it has experienced the scourge of the Yellow Turban, it still belongs to the big pavilion with a population of more than 3,000, Fanyang Pavilion used to be a big pavilion, the population was nearly 10,000 at the peak, but now it is still slightly inferior, only more than 1,000 people, among which women and children are old and weak account for the vast majority.
This is also the reason why Cheng Wucheng Ji and other pavilion guards were afraid to rescue before, and even a big pavilion like Gaoxiang Pavilion dared to attack, which shows how strong the power of this gang of thieves is.
From afar, you can hear the chaotic shouts of this Gaoxiang Pavilion everywhere, and the lights are bright, disturbing a quiet night like a day and a day.
How powerful are these bandits? turned the entire Gaoxiang Pavilion upside down.
The people of Fanyang Pavilion were flustered in their hearts, and their footsteps suddenly slowed down.
"Slow down ......" Deng Hu, who was walking in front, suddenly paused and listened attentively.
Everyone suddenly panicked even more, and many people retreated and began to cringe.
"Brother Deng, what's wrong?" Gao Heng in the crowd squeezed forward and asked about the situation. Deng Hu frowned and explained: "The voice over there in Gaoxiang Pavilion is very chaotic, but there is no shouting of killing, which is strange......"
"Could it be that the bandits have been driven away?" Gao Heng listened carefully and found that there was indeed no sound of fighting.
"Maybe, in a certain opinion, I still went to Gaoxiang Pavilion to know what happened." Deng Hu responded.
"Maybe what I saw before was not a beacon fire, but it was not necessarily a water." Chen Da muttered. Cheng Wucheng Ji and the others next to him thought that there was indeed this possibility, and suddenly their courage returned, straightened their chests, and continued to march towards Gaoxiang Pavilion with a savior attitude.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, I finally arrived at Gaoxiang Pavilion.
Gao Heng raised his eyes and looked around, and found that many houses in the pavilion were on fire, and the residents of the entire Gaoxiang Pavilion were in a mess like headless flies, some were busy carrying water to fight the fire, some were anxious to search for relatives and friends, and some were holding hoes, sticks and other weapons shouting where the thief is, you push me, scattered and disorganized.
"What about you? Where is the wandering pavilion chief begging for thieves? Deng Hu casually grabbed a passer-by who ran by in a hurry and asked questions repeatedly.
The passer-by seemed to be stunned by the question, and it took a while to react: "You went to the county seat to eat and drink, and the husband heard that he was hacked to death by thieves with a knife with the pavilion chief, and he was seriously injured and carried back, and now I don't know whether he is alive or dead." ”
Gao Heng sighed, no wonder there were so many villagers in such a township pavilion, there was no order, it turned out that there was no one with prestige in the leader.
"What about the three elders?" Deng Hu asked again.
In the Han and Han Dynasty systems, the township set up three elders to educate and educate, set up a husband to hear lawsuits and collect taxes and levies, and set up a wanderer to inspect each pavilion to prohibit thieves. Although the third elder has no real power, he is a respected elder after all, and with him in his appearance, he can at least calm people's hearts.
"The third elder is also on fire in his own house, so he's busy." The passer-by glanced at Deng Hu carefully, and asked in surprise: "You, are you Deng Hu of Fanyang Pavilion?" ”
"No, who else?" Deng Hu replied angrily, he was originally here to rescue, but he didn't expect that Gaoxiang Pavilion was in such a situation, he was just a pavilion chief in the neighboring pavilion, but he couldn't subdue so many people in Gaoxiang Pavilion.
"Where are the bandits now?" Gao Heng looked at it, and he couldn't find any suspicious people nearby.
"What about Liu Laoweng's house, which has the most fire over there, the thief who killed the heavens, burned my brother-in-law's house as soon as he came, not to mention, I have to hurry up to help my sister put out the fire......" The passerby pointed in a direction casually, and then hurried away.
Looking in the direction, it seems to be a very large manor, and the fire is the most dazzling.
"Brother Deng, this person from Gaoxiang Pavilion is afraid that he can't count on it." Looking at the crowd who were hurriedly fighting the fire, Gao Heng shook his head, "Most of these thieves have planned it a long time ago, and while you are away, they first killed the husband and the pavilion chief with a swift momentum, so that Gao Xiangting has no one in charge, and the dragons are leaderless." Then set fires everywhere, so that everyone is busy fighting the fire, and there is no time to think about anything else, so that the bandits can buy time to plunder the big houses. ”
"Folks, a certain is Deng Hu of Fanyang Pavilion, but someone is willing to go to Liu Laoweng's house with him to kill the thief?" Deng Hu shouted five or six times in a row in the Gaoxiang Pavilion, but he didn't get a response. Originally, a few people holding hoes and sticks were somewhat moved, but when they saw that the other party was actually from Fanyang Pavilion, they shrank back again.
"There is such a big thing in Gaoxiang Pavilion, these people are still only caring about themselves." Chen was so angry that he shouted.
"Yes, in vain we rushed here as soon as we saw the fire, and they themselves were robbed, and they didn't care about it." Cheng Wu pursed his lips, "I wouldn't have come if I had known." ”
Deng Hu turned his head and glared at him, and then looked at the people in Fanyang Pavilion: "Liu Laoweng is old, and everyone can't pay it back after borrowing Lizi Qian Qingmiao, and I haven't seen Liu Laoweng forced to come to the door to ask for it, and he always has a little more time, just for this favor, the people of Gaoxiang Pavilion don't think about Liu Laoweng's goodness, but we can't be ungrateful." ”
"Yes, the people in Gaoxiang Pavilion are all white-eyed wolves, but the masters of our Fanyang Pavilion are all bloody righteous men, if they don't save them, let's save them!" Chen Da let go of his voice and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the nearby Gaoxiang Pavilion.
Gao Heng's heart moved, and he whispered a few words in Cheng Wuchengji's ear.
Cheng Wu understood and shouted loudly: "Yes, the people in Gaoxiang Pavilion have not planted, all of them are shrunken turtles, unlike our masters of Fanyang Pavilion, who stand up to the sky!" ”
Cheng Ji also said in a timely manner: "Yes, when I fought for water in the last year, I was brave and tight, but now I have been robbed, and I am afraid of death, I bah, I am sorry!" ”
"Fanyang Pavilion's miscellaneous pieces, who do you say is the bag?" A big man with black eyelids, who was a little stronger than Chen Da, walked over with a few followers and squeezed through the crowd.
"It's about you Gaoxiang Pavilion, everyone is afraid of thieves like tigers!" Gao Heng stood up and faced each other-for-tat.
"Wow, a hundred miles away, Yingyin Wuxiang, who doesn't know that my Gaoxiang Pavilion is the first big pavilion, and my Pang Hai Pang Saburo is the first good man in Gaoxiang, and Zhuzian dares to insult me!" The black-faced man was furious and drew his sword at each other.
"Pang Hai, you dare?" Deng Hu stopped in front of Gao Heng, "This is Gao Gongzi who came to study in the Xun clan in this county, and kindly rushed to rescue Gao Xiangting, do you dare to mess around?" ”
"Hmph, just a few bandits, and they also need you to rush over in Fanyang Pavilion?" The black-faced man Pang Hai is a famous ranger in the vicinity, and he relies on his own strength, and he actually looks down on the people of Fanyang Pavilion. However, when he saw the ring-headed knife in Deng Hu's hand, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, since that's the case, but I don't know where Brother Tai is, so that the bandits are so rampant, and they kill many people in a row?" Seeing that the eyes of everyone in Gao Xiangting gathered, Gao Heng smiled secretly, the method of agitation was really useful, and it suddenly attracted such a stupid big man.
"So-and-so just had a drink with someone in Dongyuan, and he just rushed over......" Pang Hai was dumbfounded, humming and discouraging.
Gao Heng sneered and deliberately interrupted: "In other words, you haven't even seen the shadow of the thief?" ”
Pang Hai's black face suddenly turned black and red, and he asked unconvinced: "So what, didn't you see this strangely dressed kid?" ”
"That's it, you dare to laugh at the big brother ......"
"Fanyang Pavilion, listen up, the thieves can't meet my eldest brother, that's their luck."
"If you touch it, Brother Dang will hit the ground running, see one cut one, see two kill a pair!"
Several of Pang Hai's followers helped out and coaxed.
"The best man in Gaoxiang is right, so do you dare to bet with me?" Gao Heng shouted.
"Why don't you dare!" Pang Hai glared at Gao Heng, his voice was like a bell, full of anger, "Say it quickly, what are you betting on?" ”
"Just bet on the bandits this time, who killed the most!" Gao Heng slowly said his true intentions, "If I win, you will be my follower for three days." ”
"What if you lose?"
"If I lose, I will apologize to you in front of everyone, and then write a poem for you, praising your name and praising your heroism." Gao Heng said confidently.
"No, if the poems you write don't make sense, wouldn't Pang die at a loss?" Pang Hai didn't do it.
"And what do you want?" Gao Heng frowned, if Pang Haiti's conditions were too harsh, he would not agree.
A hint of cunning flashed in Pang Hai's eyes: "Hmph, the kid surnamed Gao, that's it, if the poem you wrote for a certain person can spread the world, not only does you not want to apologize, but also gives you a generous bonus, but if you don't write well......" I wanted to mention a condition that humiliated Gao Heng, but thinking of Deng Hu saying that the other party was a scholar who traveled to study, Pang Hai didn't dare to go too far, so he had to say stupidly: "Then you have to wash the clothes for a certain person for three days." ”
"It's a deal!" Gao Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can rest assured that you will never break your promise." Pang Hai turned around, pointed to the manor of Liu Laoweng's family in the distance and shouted: "Brothers, killing thieves is at this time, don't let Fanyang Pavilion underestimate the man of my Gaoxiang Pavilion!" ”
Although Pang Hai is only a country ranger, he seems to be quite famous in Gaoxiang Pavilion, and when he left, there were hundreds of young people behind him.
Deng Hu laughed and patted Gao Heng on the shoulder: "Ha, Gao Gongzi still has a way, and now he has a greater grasp of dealing with thieves." After speaking, he also rushed forward with the people of Fanyang Pavilion.
Liu Laoweng's manor is quite far away, and it seems that it is not far away when looking at the firelight, but in fact it is nearly two miles away.
When everyone arrived, they only saw fires in many places in the huge manor, the gate was cracked into several pieces, and the sound of "crackling" fire was in the ears, and the smoke was filled. Broken swords and clubs can be found along the road, as well as many corpses and bloodstains, and the shouts of killing can be seen everywhere, so you can imagine the fierceness of the battle between the two sides.
"The thief is arrogant, and Gaoxiang Pang Hai is here." Pang Hai rushed all the way and took the lead.
"A certain Xixiang Deng Hu, the thief took his life." Deng Hu is also unwilling to be the queen.
Turning over a corner, several big men in the courtyard tied yellow scarves suddenly rushed out, obviously the number of people was very different, but they were not afraid, and pounced with a big knife that was still dripping blood.
Although there are many villagers, they are far inferior to fierceness, and in just a few breaths, these yellow turbans have continuously slashed more than a dozen people like sheep in a flock, and at least five people have died.
"Huh!" Deng Hu drank coldly and greeted a yellow scarf in front of him.
The yellow turban man smiled and slashed his head. The ring knife in Deng Hu's hand suddenly lit up strangely, as if it was a touch of silver, and the fierce force actually cut the big knife in the hand of the yellow turban man in two, and the residual momentum did not stop, and by the way, he was split in half diagonally from his shoulder.
A large puddle of blood shot from the corpse almost drenched Deng Hu in blood.
The power of a knife is so strong. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
