That Cheng Shigong lived here for a long time, in the past days of the world Chengping period, these villagers have crossed the Niangzi Pass, and the residents of Zhili to exchange property, earn a few taels of silver customs, because they are afraid that when passing through the checkpoint, they will be knocked out by the soldiers who defend the city, and fight the autumn wind, so the villagers take an extra mountain road to avoid those soldiers.

Now this Niangzi Pass is heavily guarded, and because of the pressure of the long-haired army in Zhili, it is also a rumor, so that the villagers no longer dare to use the mountain road to do small business in Zhili, after all, no matter how good the silver is, it is not as important as a small life.

Now seeing that Li Shu'er and they were in a hurry to pass the customs, Cheng Shigong remembered the mountain road that was no longer used, so he told Li Shu'er.

As soon as he heard that there was a small road to pass, Uncle Li couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised again and again, but the peach wood demon disdained this kind of sneaky move, and had to use the art of retreat to pass the level, but he couldn't stand Wei Ergou's rhetoric, and finally reluctantly agreed.

made up his mind, Uncle Li took out an ingot of about ten taels of silver to thank Cheng Shigong, but Cheng Shigong politely refused. Seeing that Cheng Shigong insisted on not accepting it, Uncle Li asked him to treat the silver as a coil and find a guide to take them to the mountain road.

Cheng Shigong was also refreshed, and after going out for a while, a man with a vulgar appearance, a bow and quiver on his waist, and a ghost-headed knife on his back was led in, and introduced him to Li Shu'er and them, saying that Mao Dayou, the only hunter in the village, knew the path on the mountain well, and could send them safely across the mountain.

Seeing that although Mao Dayou looked vulgar, but his words were very kind, Li Shu'er was very satisfied, so he beckoned Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to clean up, and after half an hour, he followed Mao Dayou and left Cheng Shigong's house.

Before leaving, Uncle Li took into account the rugged mountain road and the inconvenience of taking the green mule, so he wanted to entrust it to Cheng Shigong to send a sample, how could the green mule get along with the peach wood demon for a long time, and after being pulled by Cheng Shigong, he broke free and bit the peach wood demon's clothes.

Don't talk about rapping, but say that Uncle Li and they followed Na Mao Dayou out of the village, all the way fast, fortunately they were not disturbed by officers and soldiers all the way, and when they arrived at Hai, they had already arrived at the bottom of the Taihang Mountains far away from Niangzi Pass.

Looking up, the towering Taihang Mountain under the cover of night is steep and straight, under the white snow, the black trees are like thousands of flickering ghosts, quietly waiting for the prey to fall into the net in the wind.

"Uncle, I can only send you here, you see the sheep farm road, that is the secret road to Zhili, you just have to follow that road, about two hours later, you can reach the territory of Zhili, the villain will not pass." Na Mao Dayou pointed to a path that was faintly recognizable under the moonlight, and told Uncle Li that it was the path leading to Zhili.

"Okay, I'm tired, here are a few copper coins, don't be too little, take it to warm the bowl of wine and relieve fatigue." Uncle Li looked at Na Mao and took out a few copper coins to thank him.

That Mao Da was willing to ask for it, and after several shirks, he reluctantly accepted it, and quickly disappeared in the wind and snow when he came.

Seeing that the hairy head was gone, Uncle Li frowned and looked at the path that winded up the mountain, if he was not careful, most of them would mistakenly think that it was the beast path stepped on by the beasts in the forest.

After looking at it for a while, Uncle Li looked back at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and the Peach Wood Demon and smiled: "Okay, young masters, let's hurry." ”

Walking along the mountain road, Li Shu'er and his party soon entered the dense jungle, because the forest is dense and the trees are high, and the wind enters the forest and weakens, so the snow in the forest is not swept away, and it is very deep, and when they go down, they are knee-long. Looking around, although the moonlight was as dim as a lamp, Uncle Li and the others could still see that there were many cliffs and deep valleys on both sides of the path, and the wind swept by, making a sharp sound similar to a whistle, which showed that its depth was unfathomable, and it also made Uncle Li who was in a hurry secretly frightened, and couldn't help but be a little more careful about the road under their feet.

After walking for a while, Uncle Li and the others were so tired that they were panting like a cow, but fortunately, the green mule had very strong feet, and the peach wood demon was still walking like a fly, which attracted Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to be envious.

After walking for a while, the peach wood demon was already sleepy, Li Shu'er, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were also yawning, weak and weak, in a trance, Yang Yi felt as if there was a light in front of him and went out in a flash, and he was shocked in his heart, for fear that it was the reflection of the eyes of some beast, but when he looked at it again, there was just a deep and boundless black silence in front of him, where was there any light.

Shaking his head and driving away the drowsiness, Yang Yi secretly laughed at his suspicion and timidity, and did not mention to Li Shu'er and Wei Ergou that he was suspicious of the dark ghost, but just after a while, Yang Yi felt full of remorse for his actions at this time, which was old remorse.

Buried in his head and walked for a while, in front of him was a group of mistletoe trees, those mistletoe trees were tightly packed together, forming a shelter like a natural shack, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, who were already sweaty and wet, saw that good place, as if the monk saw the sister of Qinglou, he cheered at that time, and then sat on the snow and did not get up.

However, only a dozen seconds later, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, who just had the idea of "I won't get up if I am killed, what do you love", jumped up with a sigh of voice, and the action was smooth, in one go, without any mud and water, what happened?

It turned out that as soon as the two of them sat down, several arrows flew over their heads with a loud sound, and "Zheng Zheng" nailed to the trunk of the mistletoe tree with a loud sound.

"I'm grass, I've met a ringing horse!" Wei Ergou reacted quickly, and dragged down the peach wood demon sitting on the green mule with an obvious target and pressed it under him, while shouting in his mouth.

At that moment, Yang Yi was not slow to react, and his body shoveled Uncle Li down at a forty-five degree angle, and then also overwhelmed Uncle Li.

Uncle Li is an old man, and when he saw that the strongman in the dark was using an arrow with a whistle, he had already guessed that the strongman did not want to hurt people, but warned them not to resist first, so he pulled his neck and shouted: "Guys, we are just people passing by, no malice, can you come out and see, we can discuss everything." ”

Before Li Shu'er finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen men wearing white felt hats, half-cut leather jackets covering black short robes, and a pair of green cloud digging and inlaid tiger boots under their feet, holding carved curved bows in their hands, and long-handled Pu knives pinned to their backs, jumping out of the shadows, and glaring at Li Shu'er and the others one by one.

"Heroes and heroes, we are just passing by the journey, not the official eunuch family, the bag is shy, to say that there is no gold and silver treasure in Daguan, but there are also a few taels of broken gold and silver, if you need it, the little old man is willing to give it with both hands, and will not be stingy." As soon as he saw the dresses of those men, Uncle Li thought that he had encountered robbers who were blocking the road and robbing him, and his heart was relieved, thinking that the money would pass. However, Uncle Li quickly realized that something was wrong, because this place was too remote and inaccessible, if it was in the past in peacetime, the people in the village passed through here to do some business with the residents in the territory of Zhili, these big men were ambushed here, and it was reasonable to rob some money, but now this army is in chaos, and the villagers have not gone through here to do business for a long time.

Could it be that they are the soldiers in the Niangzi Pass, and they are ambushed here just to catch the people who use this path to secretly cross the border to Zhili? If this is the case, I don't know if I can use the silver to impress these soldiers and ask for accommodation.

Uncle Li was thinking about the way to get out in his mind, when he saw one of the men with a pale face and a cold expression speak: "Who are you, how do you know that there is a secret passage here, say, don't say that Hugh blames me for waiting for the steel knife to have no eyes!" ”

"This, this," Uncle Li's eyes narrowed, and he opened his mouth to talk nonsense, "We are the Zhili people's clan, and in the past, I would occasionally pass through here to traffic some mountain goods to Shanxi for profit, and now I am going to Shanxi Hongdong to pick up my niece, because of the impact of the war, Niangzi Pass has been sealed, there is no way, we can only risk crossing from here, it is really a last resort, and I hope that all the heroes will be merciful, and let the little old man go over, and he should be grateful." ”

Seeing that Uncle Li spoke fluently, and his words were reasonable, and he couldn't find a flaw, the man groaned slightly and said: "I'm not the strongman who kills people and oversells goods, don't panic, but we have a heavy responsibility, and we can't let you go easily, in case you are mistakenly released." Well, stay here while we go ahead and return to the captain, and then we will take care of it. ”

After that, the man left five men to guard Li Shu'er and the others, and he took the rest of the people and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

When the five men saw that Li Shu'er and the others were all dressed as ordinary villagers, with no weapons on them, and a woman, they all relaxed their guard, and lazily leaned against the trunk of the mistle tree, guarding Li Shu'er and them without a match.

At this moment, Uncle Li got up from the snow and sat down, shouted Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Taomu Demon to his side, and whispered: "Children, let me tell you a not very good news, these men in front of you are eighty percent long-haired......"

"Won't it?" After Yang Yi heard this, he was taken aback, looked at Uncle Li, lowered his voice and said, "This lady is guarded like an iron bucket, how did they come over?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, Yang Yi felt that Wei Ergou and the Peach Wood Demon threw contemptuous glances at him, and he couldn't help but blush, knowing that what he was asking was really brain-opening: since Uncle Li and they knew that they had crossed the border from here to go to Zhili, then these Taiping troops were undoubtedly going to sneak in from here to copy the back road of the Niangzi Pass guards, and then launch an attack by surprise and seize the pass.

At this moment, a man with a ruffian face walked towards the peach wood demon with a wicked smile on his face

The most lewd and cheap expression makes people see at a glance that the guy is lustful and wants to misbehave!
