Chapter 27 The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Ma Yun carefully checked the vicinity of the iron hanging basket and made sure that there were no thieves lurking, so he let Ling'er and the old man enter the hanging basket and put the two down.
The old man's next move made him completely relieved. I saw the old man walk into the crowd and take out a small bottle, and everyone took turns to put the small bottle under their noses and smell it. At the same time, the old man took out the medicine box and began to bandage those who had been wounded by arrows. It didn't take long for everyone to move a lot faster, and there were already people who could carry or support others, and it seemed that the poison that had been dispersed had been resolved.
"Shaoxia, I have more than forty brothers here who are not injured, so I will send them up to guard. ”
"That's very good, there is General Lao Tong. The thieves in the Black Wind Village are nowhere to be seen, and I don't know whether they have escaped or hidden. ”
With the help of General Tong's soldiers, Ma Yun took the energy to come to the cave where Qin Ming and they were imprisoned.
Qin Ming saw him coming from afar, and shouted excitedly, "Little brother, you are too fierce!"
"Brother Qin smiled, this is the key, you will untie the shackles for them, and then go back and remove the poison of the soft tendons on your body. ”
It turned out that they were afraid of resisting, and everyone's food was put into the soft tendons, and General Tong's gang was escorted out, and the rest were locked in the cave. Ma Yun looked at the arm-thick iron fence at the entrance of the cave, and wanted to cut them off with a short sword, but turned around and thought, this iron fence may still be useful, or use a mechanism to open it.
He turned to look for the minion who had been knocked unconscious by him, and wanted to ask him where the mechanism was, but when he looked around, the minion had been hit by several arrows, and when he walked over to see it, he was already dead of anger. There is really a providence in the dark, and this minion finally died in the chaos of arrows.
Two days later, in the stone cave of the highest mountain peak in Heifeng Village, a group of people were talking and laughing inside. Among them, sitting at the top is a young man with deep eyes and a thin face, not who Ma Yun is. Below, there are General Tong, the doctor Uncle Zhang, Qin Ming, Ling'er and others, and the scholar and the ugly woman who fell into the pit are also listed.
Seeing General Tong standing up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, he first saluted everyone, and finally turned to look at Ma Yun, "I, Tong Guanshan, am here to toast Shaoxia for a glass first, and thank Shaoxia for saving our brother's life." "He drank all the wine in the cup, and poured another glass,
"This second cup I salute those brothers who have died, I Tongguanshan am sorry for them!"
"This third cup is dedicated to my brothers who were born and died, and who almost lost their lives because I was confused. He drank it all and poured another glass.
"This fourth glass of wine is a toast to all of you here, we will be friends from now on, and we will have a place to find my Tongguan Mountain in the future!"
Next, Qin Ming and the others also got up to toast each other and spent a dangerous time together, and the relationship between everyone was extremely harmonious.
It is said that after Tong Guanshan and his men were freed two days ago, they immediately reorganized the troops, divided the dozens of uninjured subordinates into two groups, and carefully searched the entire cottage.
There are a lot of dark posts on the mountain road outside the cottage that did not escape, Ma Yun shot to wipe them all out, so far Ma Yun and they are anti-guest-oriented, the cottage is completely occupied, and the mountain road is guarded, anyone who wants to attack from the mountain Unless there is a skill like Ma Yun, otherwise the mountain road is narrow and rugged, it is really a man who can not open it, no wonder this black wind village can do evil for many years but is unharmed.
Ma Yun remembered the words of Comrade Lenin: "The fortress is the easiest to break through from the inside", the mountain road of this black wind village is full of crossbow arrows, mixed with poisonous water and poisonous gas, that is, he is now using the power of the "rejuvenation formula", and if he wants to rush up, he will inevitably be poisoned and injured.
When searching for the thieves in the village, many people were detained, and the ugly woman and the middle-aged scholar were imprisoned in the same room. A group of women were also found, all of whom had been plundered to the mountains for the enjoyment of the thieves.
In addition, several men who were locked up in the valley floor secret room were found, led by a dark and thin middle-aged man, and the rest of the men were his apprentices. But they were plundered to the mountains to smelt weapons, and the ore they dug up was refined into weapons.
After occupying Heifeng Village, Ma Yun and Tong Guanshan had a detailed conversation and figured out the origin of this person. It turned out that this Tongguan Mountain was the commander of the palace guard of the city lord of Tong'an City.
After more than a year in this other world, Ma Yun has a general understanding of the situation in this other world. There are nine states in this Longyuan continent, of which Jiaozhou is the most southwestern state, bordering the Manggu Mountains to the west and Wujiang to the south. The current rule of Kyushu is the Daikei Dynasty, and each state is governed by an appointed governor. There are about more than ten cities in each state, Jiaozhou is sparsely populated, there are only eight cities, the southwesternmost is Jiayuan City, more than 300 miles to the north is Tong'an City, Jiaozhou Prefecture is the lord of Ke City, and governs the remaining seven cities.
The general trend of the world, divide and alternate, divide for a long time must be together, and a long time must be divided, the Dajing Dynasty has ruled Kyushu for more than 300 years, and now it is gradually declining, now in addition to the three states of merger, Yan and Yong, the rest of the states have been in turmoil, either the state herd raised troops, or the kings raised troops, and even the city lords had raised troops. After repeated scuffles, the people were struggling to make a living, and bandits were rampant.
King Lu of Jiaozhou, the elder brother of the emperor of the dynasty, has been in Jiaozhou for more than ten years, and after some careful management, the city lords of Zhu Ti, Yue Jun and Qianwei near the fief have become their own people. Seeing that the time was ripe, under the pretext of a banquet, he invited the governor of Jiaozhou and the other city lords of the four cities to the mansion and imprisoned them. Then he led the army of the three cities and began to attack the remaining five cities.
The city lord of Jiayuan City did not go to the banquet because he was ill before leaving, and the rebels of King Lu first falsely spread the news that Tong'an City was attacked, and Jiayuan City originally had 10,000 soldiers and sent 7,000 to the rescue, but the whole army was wiped out in an ambush, and then Ma Yun knew, Jiayuan City was surrounded by rebels for Yue Xu, and was finally breached.
As for Tong'an City, he also fell into a strategy, received a call for help from Jiayuan City, and the general who defended the city led his troops to come to the rescue, but he was also ambushed halfway. King Lu's rebels spent two months conquering two cities. Because it is the main city of Jiaozhou, there are 30,000 troops stationed all year round, plus the support of the other two cities behind it, it is still barely supported, this is the battle situation before Tong Guanshan was captured, and now it has been more than four months, and it is unknown whether the city of Qike has been captured.
Besides, this Tong Guanshan, as the commander of the Tong'an City Lord's Mansion Guard, has 300 personal soldiers under his command, specializing in guarding the city lord, and the Tong'an City Lord also brought him and his personal soldiers when he went to the banquet. After the city lord of Tong'an was imprisoned, he led his subordinates to fight a bloody battle, and he could have fought a bloody way, but the city lord had a cowardly personality and ordered him and the guards to abandon their weapons and surrender.
This Tong Guanshan was a foolish and loyal man, so he obeyed the order and became a prisoner with his subordinates. Soon after, he and a hundred of his guards were escorted to this Black Wind Village to work as coolies.
Ma Yun asked about his plans, Tong'an City was breached, the city lord was imprisoned, the guards were all taken prisoner, and he didn't know where to go for a while, and the hundred guards who came here with him had already killed a few people before Ma Yun made a move, and then more than a dozen people were killed by arrows in the attack, and now there are less than eighty people, of which more than 20 are injured. It's better to rest for a while in this Black Wind Village and see the situation.
Ma Yun also happens to have this intention, this Black Wind Village is rich in resources, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is a good place. The coolies who were mining and the people who were plundered up the mountain asked them to go down the mountain to find their relatives, but most of them no longer knew where their relatives were, so they decided to stay, and only a dozen people left, and suddenly there were more than 300 people in the village.
Heifeng Village has been evil for many years, has been besieged by the official army for a year and has not run out of food, all because of the usual rich storage, when searching the village, a cave grain was found in the belly of another mountain peak, Tongguan Mountain preliminarily estimated, those grains are 1,000 stones, a stone of grain is about 100 catties, enough for 200 people to eat for a day, these 500 stones of grain is about enough for everyone on the mountain to eat for two years, this is not counting fruits and wild things.
At the same time, when interrogating those arrested minions, they confessed that there was a treasure secret room in the main cave, and the key to the secret room was only owned by the master of Dazhai. Ma Yun really found the mechanism, and looking at the appearance of the mechanism, it seemed that it needed a round thing to activate. As for where the master of the village went, the minions only knew that the master of the village had something to do and took a dozen brothers down the mountain, and he didn't know anything else.
But Ma Yun and Tong Guanshan both thought of a key point: this Black Wind Zhai must have something to do with King Lu. As prisoners of war of King Lu, Tong Guanshan was sent to the camp of robbers to work as coolies, and the ore dug up and the weapons made by smelting were also to be given to King Lu. The few people who were searched out of the secret room at the bottom of the valley were the smelting masters escorted by King Lu.
The dark and thin middle-aged man, who called himself Gao Tang, was a disciple of Tiangongmen. was threatened by King Lu with the lives of more than a dozen relatives and forced him to come here to smelt weapons. In desperation, he brought a few disciples here.
When asked why he had to be asked to smelt weapons, Ma Yun knew the difference in this ore. The ore that Ma Yun and the others dug is called black iron ore, which is different from ordinary iron ore, and the weapons smelted from this black iron ore are sharper, and the armor made is stronger. At the same time, this black iron ore is more difficult to smelt, and it is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to melt it. King Lu took great pains to find a Tiangong Sect who was proficient in smelting.
When he knew that the shackles and locks were also from Gao Tang's hands, Ma Yun praised Gao Tang's mechanism skills endlessly, and also had a new understanding of the toughness of the black iron, because the shackles were simply smelted from black iron.
For more than half a year, Gao Tang built day and night, and only then did he and his apprentices build five hundred big knives. Ma Yun looked at the big knife that emitted cold light in the cave, a little happy and a little helpless. Because these five hundred big swords Gao Tang had just finished smelting, and was about to send them to King Lu together, who expected that before they could be sent, something like this happened in Heifeng Village.
Now that these big knives are all owned by Ma Yun, it is a hot potato, and King Lu will soon find out about it, and he will definitely send troops to snatch it when the time comes.
"To give or not to give? Of course you can't give it! The terrain of this Black Wind Village is so dangerous, Hao Zhao's 3,000 people can defend the lonely city under Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops, and my 100 people only need to hold a dangerous road to block thousands of troops!" Thinking of this, Ma Yun's eyes showed a strange light.
