Chapter 10: Infiltration

Baili Fei unfolds a map.

What is drawn on it is the terrain of the Chilin Mountains.

"The terrain of Chilin Ridge is steep, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one way in and out, and there are many traps set by bandits along the way. ”

"If you can enter the mountain through this road, you should be able to see a cottage, built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is also a strong crossbow arranged to shoot a cow through within a thousand steps. ”

"Last time, the Yamen organized 500 people to come to attack, but they were killed by the 100 bandits, suffered heavy losses, and returned in embarrassment. ”

"In addition, the bandit leader Guan Chao, his nine-song serial ghost head knife, is a treasure knife made of cold iron, with sharp blades and strong momentum. Even if you enter the iron state, you may be injured by it, so you must not be unguarded. ”

As he spoke, Baili Fei untied a simple long sword from his waist and handed it over, Shen Lian caught it, and his hand fell down, which was unexpectedly heavy.

"This sword is called chasing the wind, since my master passed it to me, it has followed me all my life, the sword is three feet three inches long, weighs nine catties and nine taels, sharpens iron like mud, blows hair and breaks hair, ranks sixth in the weapon spectrum, and today I will give it to you to kill the thief. Baili Fei had a solemn expression.

Shen Lian's face changed, and he hurriedly picked up the Wind Chasing Sword with both hands, and his heart was filled with emotion.

He spent 10,000 taels to learn from Baili Fei, but this wind chasing sword was worth more than 100,000 taels.

Baili Fei was really kind to him.

"Senior, rest assured, I will cut off Guan Chao's head to repay the grace of the sword!" Shen Lian held the sword and shook it to the end, and then strode towards the mountain.

Crossing a forest of redwoods, he entered a ravine in a short time.

The mountain road ahead became more and more rugged and narrow, and cliffs appeared on both sides, as if two giant hands were slowly closing in the middle.

As depicted on the map, it is an excellent place to ambush.

As long as you place a boulder on the edge of the cliff and push it gently, even if there are thousands of troops and horses below, you will cry and mourn here.

And the fact is also the same, on the top of the cliff, you can see large stones everywhere, occasionally small stones are blown down by the wind, hitting the rock wall to make a thunderclap sound, people can't help but be highly vigilant.

"If you are a husband, you can't open it, that's what you're talking about. Shen Lian glanced up and squinted.

At that moment, five people suddenly appeared in the grass.

They were all dressed in brown leather armor and animal fur, with disheveled hair and hateful faces, and they surrounded him.

"Who?"

The two men standing in front of him were armed with knives, and the last three were armed with bows and arrows, drawing their bows and filling them.

Shen Lian looked at the person a little and asked him.

Burly and strong, bald-headed, one-eyed, and eight feet tall, that is, one meter eight or nine.

The muscles of his body bulged everywhere like toast, and he carried a thick-backed machete in his hand, and his body faintly exuded the ferocity of a beast.

"I am a little red in the Central Plains, and I am good friends with the owner of your family, I am here to visit, and you will report it quickly. Shen Lian looked arrogant and said calmly.

"The Central Plains is a little red, who?"

"I haven't heard of it. ”

"What should I do?"

"What to do, take it down first. ”

"What if he's really a friend of the owner?"

The five thieves were talking and uncertain, and the bald and one-eyed man hesitated for a while, then turned his head to the person next to him: "Don't quarrel, Butcher Lin, you go to the village and ask the owner of the village." ”

The man turned around to leave, but Shen Lian suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute." ”

He took out a gold-rimmed greeting sticker from his bosom, and there were silver tickets of one hundred taels in it, ten of them, one thousand taels!

The eyes of the five thieves lit up in an instant.

"This is a prayer sticker, give it to your owner for me. ”

"Good ......"

Butcher Lin licked his lips, took the sticker, felt a little hot, and stared at the silver tickets for a long time before running into the depths of the canyon.

The other four people are a little relaxed, the other party is here to send money, a shot is a thousand taels, such a good thing is rare, maybe it is really a good friend of the owner of the village, where do you dare to offend.

After a while, Butcher Lin ran back and said, "The owner of the village is invited." ”

Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind!

Shen Lian didn't plan to attack from the beginning, but chose to throw money to open the way, and when he saw Guan Chao, he captured the thief first and caught them off guard.

Even if these thieves wanted to break their heads, it was impossible to think that someone would dare to enter the tiger's den alone.

Under the guidance of Butcher Lin, after a short time, Shen Lian passed through the canyon and saw a stone village built on a rocky mountain standing in front of him.

The entire stone village is surrounded by a high stone wall like a castle tower, on which a row of mechanical crossbows are installed, and the bows and arrows are all two-meter-long heavy arrows, which are extremely penetrating.

Such a defense can be described as an impregnable wall, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian couldn't help but feel a little stunned, no wonder five hundred officers and soldiers couldn't capture this bandit village.

Through the gate and up the stairs, Shen Lian walked into a hall.

The layout of the hall is simple, and the innermost wall is a tiger skin throne facing south from the north, which is divided into two rows of seats, similar to the emperor's previous court.

At this moment, on the throne of the tiger skin, there was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, aged about forty, and I saw him sitting on his lap, pressing on the tiger's head with one hand, holding Shen Lian's worship sticker with the other, staring at Shen Lian with cold eyes, and a penetrating chill was reflected in his eyes.

This is naturally Guan Chao, a murder and robbery criminal wanted by the imperial court with a reward of 150,000 taels!

There are eight people in each of the two columns under Guan Chao's seat.

These sixteen people, each of whom is fierce, looked Shen Lian up and down with hideous faces, and some people looked at Shen Lian with undisguised lust, looking at Shen Lian with the demeanor of the son like a flower girl.

"Are you a little red in the Central Plains?" Guan Chao stared at Shen Lian and grinned, "I don't remember that I had a friend like you." ”

Shen Lian took a few steps forward, untied the thick velvet coat inlaid with gold and jade on his body, revealing a martial arts suit, with a wind-chasing sword crutch in front of him, and said with a smile: "The main god of the Guanzhai village has seen the head but not the tail, and the little brother has taken the liberty to visit, in order to see you, he has to use a little trick, not intentionally teasing, please don't blame." ”

"Oh, then who are you?" Guan Chao's gaze flashed on the Wind Chasing Sword.

Shen Lian said: "I am a businessman, whoever gives me money, I will kill whoever I want." ”

"Killer?!"

Guan Chao's eyes widened, faintly revealing a look of vigilance, "Are you here to kill anyone?"

Shen Lian smiled and shook his head: "The master of the village is brave and invincible, and the fierce generals under the seat are like clouds, where do I dare to be presumptuous here." To tell the truth, I came this time because I have a big business to discuss with the owner of the village and seek common prosperity. ”

Guan Chao squinted slightly and did not speak.

Shen Lian continued: "Not long ago, I received an order for business, and someone offered me 100,000 taels to kill a person, and the target was Wang Fugui, the eldest son of the Wang family, of the four major families in Snow Ridge City.

However, there are special requirements for the method of death, it cannot be assassination and death, it cannot be death by accident, it must be encountered by robbers on the road, and death must be under the knife of robbers. ”

Guan Chao understood: "You want me to help you kill someone?"

Shen Lian nodded: "After the matter is completed, the bounty will be seventy-three points, how about it?"

Guan Chao sneered and sneered: "People want us to kill, and we have to bear the crime, but you have to take away 30,000 taels, there is such a cheap good thing in the world?"

Shen Lian smiled indifferently: "How much does the owner of the village want?"

"I want ninety thousand taels!"

"Eighty thousand!

"Ninety thousand, not one less, it's us who work hard. ”

“...... Alright!"

Shen Lian was silent for a few seconds, and agreed with a little unhappiness.

Guan Chao was proud and laughed: "When will you do it, how will you do it?"

"Two days later, Wang Fugui will leave Xueling City, accompanied by about ten followers, they will pass through the main road near Chilin Ridge, you just need to set up an ambush in advance, and hack him to death. ”

"It's easy!"

"The Wang family also has masters, just in case, I hope that the owner of the village will personally work hard, and I will also assist from the side.

After the deed is completed, I will stay in the village until someone sends 90,000 taels and then leave, I don't know what the village thinks?"

"Well said, well said!"

It wasn't until this moment that Guan Chao relaxed and exposed his coarse side.

In fact, in this ancient world, there is no network world, informatization has not developed, and people's hearts are still relatively simple, a bit like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, some people are not stupid, and they are very smart, but they are fooled.

It's done! Shen Lian exhaled slightly and successfully infiltrated the cottage.

"The Bewitchment Guan is successful, and you get 1 Bewitchment Value. A wonderful voice sounded, making Shen Lian couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Come on, set up a banquet, I want to drink three hundred cups with the Central Plains!" Guan Chao raised his arms excitedly.

Soon, a grand feast was set up.

The food on the table was all game, wild boar, wild deer, hares, etc., and wine.

Seventy or eighty people in the cottage gathered together, eating meat and drinking a lot, which was very lively.

In a short time, several trembling young girls were driven out and asked to dance for fun, and if they did not dance well, they would be whipped over, and their screams would provoke bursts of laughter, which would only make the thieves more excited and presumptuous.

One of the girls, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, seemed to move stiffly to and fro, tears had long since dried up, and there was only a dim glint of despair in her eyes.

"Come on, come on, a little red, I'll toast you again. Guan Chao kept pouring wine for Shen Lian, drinking one bowl after another.

"I also toast the lord of the village. The owner of the village will enjoy the blessings of the immortals forever, and the longevity will be with the sky!"

Shen Lian kept complimenting and gulping down, his alcohol consumption was not bad, and he could fight with anyone, but he found that after the wine entered his throat and intestines, it was quickly refined into vitality by the two Gus, and he almost didn't get drunk when he drank it.

Think about it, wine is made from whole grains, and it can enter the blood circulation without digestion, and it is naturally converted into vitality faster than food.

"Medicine and Wine ......" Shen Lian's aura moved, and he suddenly thought of a good way to refine his vitality.

Then!

There was a sudden silence around them.

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, and then saw that all the thieves were looking in one direction.

He turned his head to look, and suddenly saw a woman dressed up, this woman is extremely beautiful, the figure is extremely material, convex and backward, skin as white as snow, looking forward to life, even more beautiful than Li Chengcheng, the flower of the drunken flower building, fascinated by the person.

"Meet Madame!"

All the bandits bowed their heads in unison.

Damn! It turned out to be Mrs. Zhai, Guan Chao is very glamorous. Shen Lian couldn't help but pout.
