Two years ago, several new bandit nests rose in the rivers and lakes, robbing homes and houses, bullying the people's daughters, and doing all kinds of evil, and the government served one nest after another, but the bandit villages always sprung up one after another, which was a headache for the government.

There is a legend among the bandits, that is, the Xiangshan Cottage and their owners.

Xiangshan Cottage is located in the dangerous mountains, the road is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, all the mountain passes are ambushed by the village owner personally designed the mechanism, if anyone is uninvited, there must be no return. And the owner of the mountain village is the one mentioned in the legend and the clever green forest hero Yanba.

Yan Ba was an official in the court before becoming a bandit, and gave himself a nice name, Lin Mohong. This person is both martial and literary, and has led troops to fight many times and made great achievements, and the official is General Changfeng.

Like the generals of previous dynasties, as long as the merit is high, the master will be criticized. The same is true of Yanba, who was ruthlessly stripped of his power by the emperor after he put down all the rebellions, and let him return to his hometown and withdraw from the government and the opposition.

Yanba is in the prime of his heroic life, but he wants to return to his hometown with Prime Minister Li Cheng, who is rare in ancient times, and the government and the opposition are in a mess. Loyal people wrote a letter to ask the emperor to retract his order, but the gate lords involved in interests were obstructing it. After several days of trouble, under the ridicule of the gate lords, Yan Ba couldn't bear to throw down the talisman and walked away.

A year later, a group of bandits robbing the royal tribute always appeared on the official road. That group of bandits is strong in martial arts, good at using strange tricks, and quick and ruthless.

Some of the royal looted property was scattered to the surrounding civilians, and some were taken back to the cottage by bandits to hide.

The local government Chen County Ling really had a headache, so he personally led a team of people to go up the mountain to fight, and the whole army was wiped out halfway.

Chen Xian ordered the head of the rat to run, and in the panic, he mistakenly hit the animal trap, one leg was caught by the trap, and he was so painful that he lay on the ground and screamed like a pig.

Just when he thought he would die in the wild, he was suddenly covered from head to toe with a burlap bag, carried and left.

After a while, Chen Xianling was thrown heavily on the ground, fell and fainted with a muffled grunt.

When he woke up again, he saw a man with a full beard sitting on a large chair in tiger skin. The man was domineering, wiping a short knife with a strip of cloth on his hand.

The man glanced at the county magistrate lying on the ground and said, "Lord county magistrate, don't come unharmed."

Could it be that this person knows me? Chen Xianling could hear that the meaning of the other party's words seemed to be acquaintances.

Chen Xianling said in a straight voice: "You and other bandits, how have you ever seen it!"

"Back then, when Chen County Commander was still Vice General Chen, he delayed the distribution of grain and grass in the Battle of the Capital, causing a delay in the battle, and after returning to the Imperial City, he was demoted to a county commander, but is there such a thing?"

"Hmph, back then, the official was promoted to a deputy general, but he was framed by the villain"

"You are just Chen Guifei's uncle, and you have asked for the position of deputy general. Dare to ask Chen Xianling, can you understand the battle layout? If I remember correctly, you don't even know martial arts?" The other party seemed to know the whole thing about Chen Xianling, and the irony was overflowing.

"Who said that this official can't practice martial arts?"

"Hahaha。。。。。。 , Chen County Order, you can deceive the world, but you can't deceive me, so open your dog's eyes and see who I am."

Chen Xianling struggled to sit up, squinting his eyes and taking a closer look at the person in front of him, who was very familiar. He pondered carefully for a long time, and suddenly a figure flashed in his mind.

"Lin Mohong?"

"Hahaha" The other party looked up to the sky and laughed again, he hadn't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh and laugh.

"You despicable villain, if you hadn't written to the emperor many times to demote me, how could this official be so embarrassed now" Chen Xianling thought of something, and continued with a sly face: "I heard that General Lin was told by the emperor to return to his hometown, and now he is just a cloth cloth."

"Chen County's order is wrong, how can I be an ordinary cloth cloth, you should call me Caokou Yanba!"

"You're a rock tyrant?!"

"Exactly, my real name is Yanba, and the name you know is just a random remark I said before I entered the official."

"Your father will really name you, Yanba, the same name as the ancient gods, but now you are in the grass, you are really promising" Chen Xianling was not convinced, and seized the opportunity to sarcastically mock Yanba.

With a "whoosh", a cold light flashed, directly piercing the back of Chen County's hand. Chen Xianling raised his hand to take a look, his face changed greatly, and the short knife that Yan Ba had just wiped was pierced on the back of his hand.

The leg injury was enough for him, and now he offended the bandit leader again. Legend has it that Yan Ba is ruthless, and being pierced in his hand is only the beginning of torture, and then there will be even more strange torture waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Chen County's face was like ashes, and after foreseeing death, he was not as scared as he was when he was injured by the beast weapon just now, and howled fiercely. He numbly raised his hand to look at the pierced palm, blood dripping and dripping, and he wondered why he didn't feel pain. Could it be ...... Is it a dream?

Chen Xianling was sure that everything that happened in front of him was a dream. This would explain why his hand didn't hurt, and he smiled coldly at the thought of it, this dream was too long and too tiring, and he decided to end it all.

"Yanba, farewell" said that it was too late and that was fast, Chen Xianling took out the short knife pierced the back of his hand, regardless of the foot injury, and killed Yanba with the bloody short knife.

The sitting rock lord was a little surprised. The Chen County Ling he knew was a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and it was really rare to be so brave as he was now.

"Smack!" Yan Ba held another short knife of the same kind in his hand and blocked it casually, knocking Chen Xianling's weapon to the ground.

The process was simple and casual, and the rock lord didn't even change his sitting position. Because Yan Ba said that he knew very well that Chen Xianling did not understand martial arts, so no matter how fast Chen Xianling's movements were, in the eyes of martial arts practitioners, his movements were still very slow.

The sneak attack failed, the weapon was ruthlessly shot down, and Chen Xianling's defense line completely collapsed, and he roared as he stretched out his head to ram the wall.

Fortunately, the brothers in Xiangshanzhai were all on standby not far away, and when they saw Chen County's order looking for death, they rushed up and stopped him with a brisk step, and then tied them up and threw them on the ground.

Yan Ba got up from the chair and walked down the steps, he walked to Chen Xianling, who was full of despair, glanced at him and said, "Chen Xianling, I will let you go today, but you must promise me one thing"

"What?"

"My brother will escort you down the mountain and send you a carriage to help you get home. But when you go back, you must write to the emperor and inform Lin Mohong that he is Yanba."

"Why so"

"Don't ask"

Half a month later, wanted notices with the portrait of Yan Ba were all over the streets and alleys, and even the latrines were not spared. The reward of 1,000 gold is not a small amount, and more than two years ago, there are still people who have given their lives for that huge bounty.

The little king of Yama pretended to be "Yuan Yong" and came to the foot of the Xiangshanzhai Mountain alone with the darts, and he took out the family crest of the Yuan Family Dart Bureau from his arms and handed it to the guards at the pass.

The guard released a signal into the air, and in a moment the messenger in charge of transmitting the message appeared in the mountain, and the messenger took the family crest handed by "Yuan Yong" and quickly disappeared into the mountain road.

Back and forth, the messenger finally reappeared.

He took out a black cloth bag from his arms and put it on the head of "Yuan Yong" and led him to the first level. Then he sat down in a chair with armrests. "Yuan Yong" couldn't see the scene outside, he only felt the wind blowing in his ears, he wanted to cast a spell to see the situation outside through the cloth bag, but in this way, it would be discovered that he had mana, so he had been holding back his curiosity and did not dare to peek.

Suddenly, "Yuan Yong" was invited to get off the chair again. He was led on a part by the messenger until he came to a stop.

The moment the hood was taken off, "Yuan Yong" saw the person he was looking for - Yan Ba!

In order not to startle the snake, "Yuan Yong" obediently handed over the dart.

Yan Ba didn't take the dart from the other party's hand and didn't look at the appearance of the person who came, but even if he looked at it carefully, he wouldn't recognize the ordinary dart master of the Yuan family's dart game.

Xiao Hades took advantage of the fact that Yan Ba was looking at the dart, and took a serious look at the hand of this leather bag. When it was first captured, this skin was young, strong, and vigorous. Now he is less than ten days old, and his body is emaciated, and his face is like white paper, like a person suffering from tuberculosis. Time is short, and the little king of Yama is anxious and must get things done as soon as possible.

Iwaba carefully read the contents of the dart and fell into deep thought. After a while, he summoned a brother and told him to take the master to the guest room for a rest day, and then send him down the mountain tomorrow.

When little Yama returned to his guest room, he had a bad premonition.

From the expression he had just observed, he seemed to understand the words used by the demon clan on the dart, and seemed interested in participating in it.

The plan of the demon clan is to kill the emperor of the human race, and set off civil strife in the human court, and then spread to the entire human world to disrupt. Xiao Yama has seen the content inside, he doesn't care about the life and death of the Terran Emperor, because the life and death of this emperor are already thin, if I remember correctly, he should not be able to die of wind and cold in the spring of next year.

Now what he feared was more important, and the reputation of the entire prefecture was at stake.

Because the demon clan learned that Yanba and the emperor had formed a bond. Back then, he fought bloodily for the royal court, defeated the intruders, and finally ended up cutting power and unarmed, and the demon clan killed the emperor to vent his anger, and sent a layout map of the imperial city and a timetable for the Jinwuwei to be on duty. As long as Yan Ba agrees to make a move, the demon clan will secretly arrange for the demon world demon to help him.

Once the Terran Emperor is assassinated, the matter must be immediately reported to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Emperor will know that it was Yan Ba's doing. The underworld should not be able to eat and go around.

Thinking that this little Hades was a little angry, he couldn't wait to kill the rock tyrant with one sword, and he was a hundred.

But what a character Iwaba is.

Chen Xianling once said that the name of Yanba was the same as the name of a god of the ancient gods, and his words were indeed correct.

The rock tyrant in front of him was a green dragon that had followed the ancient emperor Fuxi, and after the emperor Fuxi returned to chaos, the gods were afraid that the green dragon would be used by people with ulterior motives, so they secretly kept it under house arrest in the underworld for tens of thousands of years without being known.

Qinglong Yanba was naturally unhappy when he was under house arrest, he was always thinking about escaping, but the prefecture was heavily guarded, and he didn't even know where the entrance and exit were. Several times he secretly probed the entrance and exit of the new ghost who had just entered the underworld, and the other party's head shook rattle.

When Hades learns that Iwaba is looking for the exit of the underworld, he tells him that no one knows about the entrance except for a few key people.

The reason for this is that there are too many ghosts who have entered the underworld to receive punishment, pulling out their tongues, putting them in the oil pot, and being punished...... The Infernal Hell, where there is no eternal rebirth, is no joke, and the ghosts who are punished here will be tormented day by day, and they will never stop living forever. If the door is open, there will always be a soul who will take risks.

There are good reasons, but Iwaba still doesn't give up. Anyway, he once followed Emperor Fuxi himself, and he was also a highly respected divine beast.

Moreover, Fu Xi was originally a kind-hearted and outstanding person, and he treated Qinglong well on weekdays, let him travel in the mountains and rivers, not to mention, but also personally took him to travel around the world, which was an eye-opener.

Unexpectedly, now he ended up like a prisoner under the stairs, and Yan Ba felt angry when he thought about it.

So he decided to start from other ways and devise an escape plan.

Hades had a son, the future heir, known as Yama the Younger. This milky little prince is not very old and full of officialdom.

Little Yama doesn't have much of a liking, and he likes to be held by his subordinates on weekdays and listen to some flattering "nonsense".

After learning about the situation for a long time, Iwaba decided to think of a trick from the mouth of the little Hades.

In order to gain the trust of the other party, Yan Ba pretended to be extremely bored in the underworld, and asked the little Yama to eat and chat, and the little Yama saw someone to accompany the wine and chat just to pass the boring days in the underworld, and gradually the two became good drinking friends who talked about everything.

More than a hundred years have passed, and the conspiracy of the rock lord is finally about to be rewarded favorably.
