Section 60 Blessings and Misfortunes Accompany Master and Apprentice Share Hardships
When Zeng Roushui walked away, Lu Laosan's hand stretched out. "Mr. Shen, let's try this ginger candy first?"
Shen Mu couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw that he was a stout villain, and he was actually greedy like a child. He immediately slapped his outstretched palm and said, "Didn't you hear? This is for the big boss!"
Lu Laosan pouted and said: "Even if you eat a piece, the big boss will not necessarily be less." ”
Shen Mu couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly: "You, ......" Shen Mu ignored Lu Laosan's expectant eyes, carefully put the clothes and ginger candy in the horse bag, took out a broken silver, and said, "If you want to eat, go buy some." After all, this is Miss Zeng's intention, let's just pass it on on behalf of others, and teach others to know, it is not good after all. ”
Lu Laosan took the silver and turned it upside down, and there were two taels. His face was immediately full of smiles, and he said, "Haole, Mr. Shen, you wait for me in the shop for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”
Shen Mu said angrily: "I didn't see you, when did you become so gluttonous." ”
Lu Laosan smiled, clenched the silver in his fist, lest Shen Mu would go back again, and he would run away as soon as he slipped away.
When Lu Laosan came back, he had several burdens in his hands. Shen Mu didn't ask, he just told him to hurry up, he was always worried about the situation of the cottage, if Qixingzhai didn't act for a day, and the identity of the mysterious people was not confirmed for a day, Shen Mu would be worried for one more day.
The two of them galloped along the way they came, and when they arrived at the cottage, they suddenly found that the road ahead was lined with flags, and there was a faint large group of people and horses marching up the mountain.
Shen Mu glanced at Lu Laosan, Lu Laosan understood, and the two of them rode down the path softly, looking for a place with a wide field of vision, before stopping the horse and looking carefully.
I saw a group of officers and soldiers, marching towards the hill where the cottage is located, and a pair of white flags and flags were embroidered with several big characters with gold wire borders, "Zhennan Wangfu Left Patrol Road".
Shen Mu sighed in his heart, it seemed that the officers and soldiers had finally come. Looking at this battle, I am afraid that it is the army under the command of Murong Wangfu, but I don't know what kind of ruthless role this Zuo Xundao is.
Lu Laosan saw that there were at least three or four hundred officers and soldiers lined up neatly on the road, all of them fully armed, armor, spears, broadswords, bows and arrows flashing faintly in the winter sun. The officers and men are heroic and mighty, and the military appearance is neat, which is better than that of the Black Armor Army that day. The frightened Lu Laosan hurriedly said: "Mr. Shen, what should I do? This can't be ......"
Shen Mu's eyebrows were tightly locked, and looking at the formation, there was no doubt that he was coming towards Wulong Mountain, but he didn't know that the people who intercepted Shen Mu and the others that day were not among them.
Shen Mu said: "Let's go, let's rush back to the village as soon as possible from the path." ”
As he spoke, the horse galloped up the back mountain path.
The two entered the village from the back mountain, and the village had already become a pot of porridge. Duan Chao commanded everyone to prepare equipment to resist these thousands of troops, and when he saw Shen Mu coming back, he hurriedly pulled him aside, and rushed forward: "Brother Shen, officers and soldiers...... Officers and soldiers, fucking again. ”
Most of the people in Wulong Mountain have experienced the encirclement and suppression of the black armor army led by Juan, and it has only been half a year since the last escape, and they all say that they were bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of the well rope. This time, when I saw the officers and soldiers returning, they were already ants on a hot pot, and I didn't know what to do.
Shen Mu was also flustered in his heart. So far, the facilities in the entire cottage are not perfect, compared to the previous Wulong Mountain, there is also a city wall to resist. The current walls of the stockade have not yet been formed, and they are not at all suitable for combat.
Judging from the current situation, Wulongshan is completely unable to resist a collective charge by officers and soldiers, and the final result may be death and rout.
No, to be optimistic, it is the right way to retreat before the army begins to attack the wall.
Thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy.
Thinking of retreating, Shen Mu also shook his head, "Did you leave?" Not to mention that the army was at the bottom of the mountain, even the livelihood in the city could not be let go at all. It is completely impossible for the business of the silver village to have the opportunity to come again, and the Fuchao silver village has been in the limelight in the previous refund turmoil, and the major cottages have naturally heard of it, even if others are unmoved, it is Qixingzhai, and they will try to prevent Wulong Mountain from establishing a silver village again.
Without the support of Yinzhuang, they want to make a comeback, but I am afraid it will be a fantasy.
There is only one result of retreating, and that is to die without a place to be buried.
Shen Mu said: "Big boss, it seems that there is only one way to go at the moment. ”
Duan Chao said: "What to do, Brother Shen quickly arrange, let's do it immediately." ”
Shen Mu said: "Big boss, find someone to bring the treasure and go down the mountain with me to offer the treasure." ”
When Duan Chao heard that he was going to sacrifice coral, he was a little reluctant and said, "Brother Shen, we did everything possible to get that thing back, so let's give it away?"
Shen Mu said: "Officers and soldiers always need a reason to suppress bandits, and that treasure is the reason for officers and soldiers to strangle us." Although the baby is good, it is also a hot potato. As long as we hand it over in the name of offering treasures, there will be no reason for the officers and men to go to war with us again. These days, we don't steal or rob, we do our duty. When the officers and soldiers took the treasure, they would naturally retreat. ”
Duan Chao nodded and said, "What you said is good. But I was a little aggrieved when I thought about it, and I wanted to use it to knock on Qixingzhai, but I could only give it away for nothing. ”
Shen Mu said: "The big boss doesn't have to care too much, although he failed to humiliate Qixingzhai in front of him this time, his goal has been achieved." And we are justifiably offering treasures, no matter what, this treasure will not return to the hands of people related to Qixingzhai. In this way, the loss of Qixingzhai is not small. And we're just running for nothing. ”
Duan Chao let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, the people don't fight with the officials. Just listen to Brother Shen. ”
As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves at the gate, and I saw a school officer running forward, who was holding a military flag and riding a black horse under his seat. He stopped at the gate of the village, and shouted: "Where is Shen Mu of Wulong Mountain, my general wants to meet with you." ”
This shout was loud, causing everyone to look at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu frowned, and said secretly: "How could the leading general know my name? Could it be that the person who pretended to be the Brotherhood Alliance came that day?"
Duan Chao said: "Brother Shen, they ...... What is this going to do?"
Shen Mu said: "I don't know, it may be the group of people who ambushed us that day." ”
Duan Chao said: "If it's them, Brother Shen, you go to offer treasures, won't you become a self-throwing net?"
Pastor Shen exhaled and said, "Even so, there is only this way. Rest assured, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. Big boss, after I go, you and everyone will prepare. If I can't come back, I will quickly burn down the stockade, and how much everyone can escape will be left to fate. ”
Seeing that no one answered, the school official outside the door shouted again: "Please Shen Mu come out and answer!"
Shen Mu raised his voice and said: "Shen Mu is below, but ask the military master the name of your general." ”
The school official said, "The last general just asks Shen Mu to answer!"
Shen Mu frowned, it seems that this Longtan Tiger's Den can't be avoided today. Who was that man leading the general, why didn't he come to attack the village, but talked to himself first?
At this moment, Lu Laosan pushed Ning Han over.
Ning Han smiled at Shen Mu and said, "I'll accompany you for a while." ”
What he said was plain, but in Shen Mu's ears, it was like taking a reassuring pill.
Shen Mu's face did not change, and said: "I don't know how difficult and dangerous the front is, how dare the younger generation let the fifth uncle get into danger." ”
Ning Han smiled faintly and said, "Don't you kid want me to accompany you at this moment?"
Shen Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "If there is a fifth uncle to protect the juniors, it would be excellent." ”
On that day, Lu Laosan was able to come back alive under the siege of everyone in Moyuding. It's all thanks to Ning Han. Everyone thought that Ning Wu was just a disabled martial artist. Only Shen Mu knew that he, the fifth uncle, was a person who could take the head of the enemy general from the army.
When Duan Chao saw this situation, a sad face swam between his eyebrows. worried: "Brother Shen, why don't I go with you." ”
Shen Mu took off the clothes on his mount and handed them to Duan Chao, and said, "Big boss, this is what Miss Zeng taught Shen Mu to bring on his behalf." Please rest assured, since they have called me to answer, there must be room for discussion in this matter. It's good for the big boss to remember what I said. ”
Shen Mu pushed Ning Han's four-wheeled cart and followed the officer into the military formation.
Under the pines and cypresses, there is a small table, and a man in a military general's robe is sitting on a small stool in the square, sipping white tea.
Behind him, hundreds of sergeants lined up, waiting for orders.
When Shen Mu saw that person, he was so surprised that he almost didn't fall to the ground.
The officer was none other than Juan.
I saw that he was wearing a tiger-headed vajra helmet, a piece of silver and white armor, a red cloak behind him, and a sword pinned to his waist. Compared with when he was in Zhenjiang Mansion, it was even more majestic.
When Juan saw Shen Mu, he stood up and laughed. beckoned Shen Mu to sit in front of him, and saw him pushing a disabled person over, so he asked, "Mr. Shen, is this ......?"
Shen Mu said: "This is the next master, surnamed Ning Mingwu." ”
Juan nodded and said hello, only to see him wave, and the sergeants behind him retreated a few feet in unison and sat on the ground.
Juan saved two cups of tea and motioned for Shen Mu to take it.
Juan said: "I didn't expect it, Mr. Shen, after a few months, we will meet here again." ”
Shen Mu said: "I really didn't expect it. ”
Juan said: "The general didn't expect that the first time he was transferred to Xishan Road was still an old enemy. ”
Shen Mu said: "This is probably called not a rivalry!"
Juan said: "Since I returned from Wulong Mountain, I have been pondering Mr. Shen's words. Later, I finally understood that Mr. Shen was right, if a low-level official like us is not a low-level official, if he is not a good person, he will not be able to get ahead. Those court officials were either born into a family, or they were directly the sons of princes and generals. After thinking about it, the general asked Lord Yin for an order, and gave all the credit for the extermination of the mountain bandits to that old Wang Ba, and only begged him to write to the military department and transfer me to Xishan Road. ”
