Zhu Biao said blankly: "Why is this?"

Shen Mu said: "I'm afraid of causing trouble to adults. If you have an extra 50,000 taels of silver for no reason, you will always be remembered by the villain. It's better to wait until after the spring of the next year. Regardless of whether Shen succeeds or not, where this silver comes from, there will always be a saying that it is not. ”

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Shen is thoughtful. I also responded to this matter. ”

Shen Mu said: "In this way, the villain will thank the adults for making it happen." ”

Zhu Biao smiled: "Whether it can be fulfilled or not, it is all up to you." This official is just a convenience. But there is one thing, I want to remind you, this tea shop is related to the tea bureau, but also to the imperial court. The stakes here, Boss Shen has to weigh it himself. ”

When Shen Mu heard this, he knew it. Zhu Biao meant that if he messed up, then his Shen Mu's head might move.

That night, Shen Mu took Lu Laosan and others to send the silver to the Tea Bureau for sealing. The box was sealed and sealed with wax, Zhu Biao looked at it with a happy smile, and set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

The next day, Shen Mu said goodbye to the Zhu family brothers, agreed to come back in the spring, and gave Zhu Cheng two hundred taels of silver to thank him for his recommendation.

Zhu Cheng was even more grateful, this silver was earned too quickly.

It was already afternoon. Shen Muxian ate something with Lu Laosan and others, and then the group returned to Dingzhou.

About to leave Xingzhai County, Shen Mu suddenly stopped, and said to Lu Laosan and the others: "You go first, I'll go to the tea garden myself to take a look." ”

Lu Laosan was afraid that Shen Mu would be alone and would be in trouble, so he disagreed.

Shen Mu whispered a few words in his ear, and then raised his voice: "Go, in broad daylight, are there robbers?" ”

When Lu Laosan heard this, although he didn't know what Shen Mu's whisper meant, he had to take someone to do it according to the plan.

Shen Mu rode slowly and walked along the official road for more than ten miles. Tea plantations on both sides of the hillside are all over the place, Shen Mu Zongma turned around on the mountain road again, in late autumn, there are not many tea farmers on the mountain.

The tea trees here are slightly different from other places because the white tea is fragrant, sweet and green. Therefore, most of the time for picking tea is in spring and summer, and the hair tips of the first spring are the majority, which is also the best quality. In autumn, although there will be new leaves in the tea leaves, most of the tea at this time will be yellow and black, and it is not a variety of white dew tea.

Most of the tea farmers in the tea fields are weeding or pruning tea branches at this time, and no one will pick white tea at this time, and no one wants to spoil their livelihood.

Autumn is high and cool, and the white clouds are fluttering. Occasionally, a few birds flew by, and it was quiet and comfortable in all directions.

Shen Mu turned around twice, then went to the official road, and galloped all the way.

He rode his horse all the way, without stopping, until he reached the entrance of a canyon.

Lu Laosan was waiting at the mouth of the valley on horseback, and when he saw Shen Mu arrive, he hurriedly greeted him.

Shen Mu said: "Are you ready?"

Lu Laosan said: "It's all right, just wait for Mr. Shen to come, I'm still worried." ”

Shen Mu said: "I'm fine, you go first." Listen to my whistle later, whistle and act together. ”

Lu Laosan answered, beat the horse and turned away.

Further on, the mountain road begins to get rougher.

The front is called "Xianming Stream", which is an extremely narrow place, and there are cliffs dozens of zhang high on both sides.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an immortal who wanted to taste tea and Xingzhai white tea, but was blocked by this mountain. The immortal was furious, and his palm was like a knife, and he split the mountain in half, revealing a mountain stream path that was a hundred zhang long.

This is just a legend, how can there be any Daluo immortals, if they can really split mountains and reclaim the sea, do they still need to walk?

The mountain stream was only enough for the two of them to stand side by side, Shen Mu slowed down the horses, looked at the cliffs on both sides of the hundred-zhang high, and only sighed at the magic of nature.

About to come out of the mountain stream, a messy horse's hooves sounded behind him.

Tap, tap, drive, drive.

The sound of horses' hooves and horses echoed in the mountain streams.

The corners of Shen Mu's mouth rose, he smiled coldly, and said secretly: It's just the right time.

Shen Mu crossed the exit of the mountain stream and waited for people to come.

More than a dozen horses, camels and more than a dozen men in strong suits, entered the mountain stream in a blink of an eye.

The person at the head is none other than Yu Shangyi of Lieyupo.

Yu Shangyi and others have been secretly following Shen Mu since Xingzhai County, and when they saw him out of the town, they left his entourage, although they didn't know what the reason was, but it was a good opportunity to start, how could they let it go, so they carefully followed behind, looking for an opportunity to start.

When he saw him go to the tea garden, Yu Shangyi took care of the surrounding tea farmers, and did not dare to act rashly for a while, so he had to follow from afar. Seeing Shen Mu rushing on the official road, a group of fifteen of them chased after him.

Looking at the barren mountains and mountains around it, it is inaccessible, and it is a good place to kill people.

Yu Shangyi stopped a few feet away from Shen Mu, held down the horse, smiled coldly, and said, "The person in front is Shen Mu?"

Shen Mu said: "You have been following me for so long, don't you know who I am?"

Yu Shangyi sighed in his heart, it seems that this kid knows that he is being followed. However, behind him is a hand-picked hand, Shen Mu is just a weak scholar, even if he knows what, it is not easy to chop him into minced meat.

Yu Shangyi said: "Since you have recognized the idea, how to die, pick it yourself." ”

Shen Mu said: "Don't worry, it's all a death anyway, why worry about it." I don't know what your name is, so it's a pity that you died like this. ”

Yu Shangyi said: "What you said is also right, remember, I am Yu Shangyi from Lieyupo." ”

Shen Mu said: "This name is good, it is still easy but not difficult, and it is still happy but not sad." ”

Yu Shangyi took a sip and said, "It is said that Xiucai is poor and sour, and he is still chewing words when he dies." Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you, how to die, have you figured it out. ”

Shen Mu said: "Hey, when I asked you. ”

Yu Shangyi said: "Joke, there are fifteen of us, one of you, you actually ask me? I see that your head is also broken before you die." ”

Shen Mu said: "Originally, I thought I would catch a big fish, but I didn't expect Qixingzhai to be so afraid of death, and a Chu Xiong would be fine, which made my little brother come to die." ”

Yu Shangyi said: "It's okay if you don't mention Brother Chu, you mention my brother, this time, I will definitely avenge him and kill you with a thousand knives." ”

Shen Mu shook his head, and when he saw Yu Shangyi coming with a knife, he pinched his fingers into a circle and put them in his mouth.

A whistle, crisp and loud.

At the top of the mountain stream, there was a bang.

Countless falling rocks are rolling in.

It was like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracked, the earth shook, and the surface of the earth trembled.

Yu Shangyi sat down and the horse was frightened and didn't listen to the call, and couldn't help retreating.

Retreat, where there will be a way out.

The entrance has long been blocked by falling boulders.

The stone rained down, and in the blink of an eye, the exit was also blocked.

Yu Shangyi was shocked in his heart. scolded secretly: Oops, I fell into this ambush. No wonder he kept stopping and walking, it turned out that he was just leading himself to this peerless path.

The entrance and exit were all blocked by rocks, and fifteen men hurriedly dismounted, wanting to cross the obstacle and climb out.

"Whew", a feathered arrow was fixed on the horse's back, and the horse was frightened, and then crashed into the stream.

The fifteen people in Lieyupo had to take refuge in all directions.

The horse hit the horse, and the horse startled the horse.

The mountain stream was already narrow, and it could accommodate a dozen or so horses.

When he boarded, he was knocked to the ground by his horse, and before he could stand up, his hands and feet were trampled and shattered one after another.

The screams pierced through the sky.

Shen Mu climbed onto the boulder, and beside him was Zong Ming with a bow and arrow. And Lu Laosan appeared on the boulder pile at the entrance with three men.

On the top of the cliff, there were ten more people, lifting stones. Always ready to smash down.

Yu Shangyi finally understood at this time why Shen Mu called a dozen followers to take the first step, and why Shen Mu was going around in the tea garden.

It turns out that everything is playing on itself.

No wonder Liang Er keeps telling me to be careful. It's no wonder that just a few dozen people can make Qixingzhai restless.

Shen Mu glanced at the people in the mountain stream, and said loudly: "I had no intention of wanting your lives, if you never serve Qixingzhai again, I should have never happened today." ”

Yu Shangyi took a sip and scolded: "Bah, how can a big husband be born without faith." Lao Tzu fell for your conspiracy today, if you want to kill or chop, you can just watch it. ”

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "What you want is loyalty, have you ever thought about the lives of your brothers?"

Yu Shangyi glanced back at the fourteen brothers behind him, all of them were wounded, and one was trampled to death by a chaotic horse. These people are all good hands in their own village, and they have been with them for some time. As soon as Shen Mu said this, Yu Shangyi really felt that he seemed to be wrong.

But this kind of thinking is fleeting. If it weren't for Shen Mu, they wouldn't be trapped in such a field.

Everything is because of Shen Mu, so Shen Mu must die.

That's right, he had to die.

Shen Mu was right in front of him, and there was only a man with a bow and arrow by his side.

As long as you kill Shen Mu, you will be saved, and your brothers will be saved.

Yu Shangyi clenched the saber in his hand.

His hand burst out with green tendons, Yu Shangyi suddenly shouted, his figure flashed, and he quickly ran up the boulder slope with a few arrow steps.

His movements were fast, and he was confident, how could a weak scholar like Shen Mu be able to dodge his full fight?

It's a pity that there is someone who is faster than him.

"Boom".

Yu Shangyi felt a tightness in his chest, and his breathing suddenly became difficult.

It is particularly difficult, and with each exhale, the boredom in the chest becomes heavier.

Yu Shangyi lowered his head, and at some point, a feather arrow had been inserted in his chest.

Good and accurate technique,

What a fast bow and arrow.

When Zong Ming hunts, he will first find a place with a wide field of vision and draw a bowstring.

Galloping hares, soaring pheasants, thick-skinned wild boars......

Almost every shot is a hit.

No matter how fast Yu Shangyi is, he is just a person who has practiced some fists and feet, can he be faster than those beasts?

If the hooligans want to live a long life, they need to be cautious and more vigilant, but once they lose their eyes, they need to pay for their own lives.

Yu Shangyi couldn't believe his eyes, but the blood had already dripped down the arrow and onto the stone.

His eyes began to blur and blur, and then the heavens and the earth began to spin.

It's good to be alive!
