Section 17 Clever Schemes Sing the Empty City

When he arrived at the foot of Wulong Mountain, Chu Xiong first sent a whistle to explore the way, and he led everyone to slow down their horses. The sentinel went for a moment, and then he returned with his horse, saying that the village in Wulong Mountain was very quiet, and only a few rooms were lit with lights, and I think most of them were asleep. After the man finished speaking, he took out a small wooden plank and said, "There is this plank standing in the middle of the road up the mountain, and I saw that there were words on it, but I didn't know it, so I pulled it out." ”

Wang Jie took the plank, and someone handed a torch to illuminate it. Under the firelight, the board was pasted with white paper, and a few block letters were written.

Persuade Er and others not to go up the mountain - Duan Chao.

Chu Xiong said: "What does this mean?"

Wang Jie sneered and said, "Brother Chu, we have let go of words before, and we will come to destroy the village today." There are eighteen people on the mountain, and they know that they are not defeated by us. Duan Chao's actions were just tricks, trying to scare us into retreating. ”

Chu Xiong said: "This guy wanted to use a word, so he scared us away, and he also underestimated us, brothers, guys, rush up with us." ”

Everyone roared, rode their horses and whips, and went straight to the gate of the stockade.

The stockade was surrounded by a jagged fence, through which two lights could be seen, and as the sentinel said, most of the people should have fallen asleep at this time.

On the night of the murderous night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was no wonder that these people in Wulong Mountain had cast the wrong child.

Chu Xiong made someone pry open the walled door, and when the man arrived at the walled door, he found that there was also a piece of paper pasted on the walled door, and the ink was written on the paper, so he tore off the paper, and the walled door automatically shook open.

Wang Jie took the blank paper and read: There is an ambush in the stockade, don't come in-Duan Chao.

Chu Xiong heard this, and scolded loudly: "His grandmother is a ball, this guy is also arrogant, brothers, rush." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but speak, and led the brothers into the village as quickly as possible.

Chu Xiong raised his horse and whipped and said: "Brothers, slip a little, see someone cut off their heads, we will be rewarded." ”

When the people at the top of the mill heard that there was a reward, they rode to each room with a lot of horses, wanting to cut off the head of the person and receive the reward. Unexpectedly, when the horse was a few feet close to the door of the house, suddenly the horse's legs sank, and before he had time to react, he was planted into the trap with the horses.

In the blink of an eye, people turned on their backs, and I don't know how many people fell into the night. I only heard the neighing of horses and the screams of the terrible people. Chu Xiong rushed behind, and when he saw the people and horses in front of him suddenly disappear, he suddenly knew that he was in an ambush, and hurriedly reined in the horse, fortunately he rode well, and the horse was a good horse when he sat down. The brothers on either side of him were not so lucky, and fell into the pit one after another.

There was a cry in the stockade, Chu Xiong didn't dare to rescue, and hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat.

Outside the stockade, more than a dozen torches suddenly lit up, and more than a dozen rockets were fired in succession in the light of the fire. The rocket was not fired at the panicked Mojiding crowd, but at the piles of dry firewood beside the fence. The dry firewood had already been poured with oil, and when they saw the flames, they burst into flames, and the fires broke out in all directions, illuminating the night sky like day, blocking the retreat of Chu Xiong and others. For a while, I don't know how many people were ambushed outside the village.

A few of the grinders retreated too quickly, and their bodies were led by the fire, and they rolled on the spot. Chu Xiong hurriedly made people take off their clothes and put out the fire to rescue.

There was chaos in the stockade, and there were screams, noises, and screams. Noises and scolding came and went. It was like opening a martial arts show, crackling, gongs and drums reaching the sky.

In the firelight, there were many figures, colliding in all directions. In the pit, the horse and the man were crowded together, the horse was frightened, stepped on the person, the person was in pain, and came to beat the horse again. These potholes are narrow, crowded with people and horses, and they are inserted by bamboo sticks, and the flesh and blood are blurred, and they are miserable.

Chu Xiong looked at the raging fire, and suddenly felt very annoyed, everyone left a paper to tell him that there was an ambush here, but he didn't believe it, so many brothers who followed his birth and death suffered, and today I am afraid that I will die here.

The shooters outside the village finished shooting the rocket, and said in unison: "The big boss of my family said that this is a meeting gift for you, I don't want your life today, if you dare to do it again, you will be really welcome next time." ”

When Chu Xiong heard this, he made up his mind, and when he looked at the fire in the village, sure enough, only the front door was blazing, and on the road behind the mountain, there was no spark. Chu Xiong guessed that this should be the people of Wulong Mountain who did not dare to provoke Qixingzhai, so they just did the dismount.

When even beckoned to everyone, rescued the brother who fell into the trap.

Those who were pulled up, although they were rescued, were mostly stabbed by bamboo thorns, and they were crying out. As for the horses in the pit, they were frightened, and they would not be able to pull them up for a while.

The people who grinded the top were frightened, lest they lose their lives, where would they dare to stay here for a long time. A group of people or two people and a horse, or simply walked with both legs, and escaped with Chu Xiong on the back mountain path.

As for that Wang Jie's treacherous mind, when he saw the people rushing in, he always fell at the end of the line, and he didn't hurt his fur. At this time, after falling into Chu Xiong's brigade, he drooped his head, thinking about how to face this "righteous brother" who stood up for himself.

Chu Xiong was not so good-tempered, and when he found Wang Jie, he scolded him bitterly, and sprinkled all the fire in his stomach on Wang Jie. Wang Jie knew that it was difficult to shirk, so he scolded him for a while. Seeing that he was scolding, he said slowly: "Brother Chu." If you want to blame this thing, you can blame Wulong Mountain for these go-offs who are too treacherous, let's be careless, and we will get on the road. ”

Chu Xiong also knew that this matter was all because he was too careless, if he was cautious and sent someone to test the truth first, he would not have injured so many brothers. It's not good to say anything at the moment, but I just scolded Duan Chao and others.

The forest in the back mountain is dense, the mountain road is narrow, and a team of people and horses at the top of the mill are depressed, and there is no majesty on the road when they come, and they are high-spirited. When I arrived at the fork in the road, I suddenly saw a torch stuck in the tree in front of me, and under the firelight, there was another blank piece of paper.

Arrows were drawn on the white paper, and four words were written where the arrows pointed: Take this road...

Chu Xiong said angrily: "His grandmother is a ball, here again!"

Wang Jie's head is also bigger, two years ago, when he heard the name of Wulong Mountain, he made a special inquiry. Although he Duan Chao is powerful, he is not such a careful person, why has this person been so thoughtful and terrible in the past two years.

Chu Xiong said: "Brother Wang, where do you think we should go now?"

Wang Jie said: "We just suffered a loss, we can't believe this, but we can't believe it all." I thought it would be better to send someone to explore the way first. ”

Chu Xiong nodded and said, "That's all it takes." So four people were arranged to go to explore the road from the left and right sides of the fork in the road in two teams.

After waiting for a while, the two men on the left reported that there was a burning fire on the side of the mountain road, and that the road was full of thorns, and the road was very difficult. The two men pointed to by the arrows reported that there were no traps in the way.

Chu Xiong said: "I think they still have some tricks." Then he led the people toward the arrows and pointed to the road.

After walking for about half an hour, there was another fork in the road, and there was also a note on the tree at the fork in the road, on which arrows were still drawn, but this time there was no writing.

Chu Xiong scolded, and was very helpless, so he had to send someone to investigate.

After four or five intersections, it was the same, and there was indeed no trap in the direction of the arrow.

It's just that when I go back and forth like this, when I get out of the back mountain bypass road, the sky is already a touch of fish white.

The people who were grinding the top were already exhausted and lifeless after this torture. When we return to the foot of the Moyuding Mountain, where the stockade is located. Then I saw a wooden board stuck in the middle of the road, and the board was pasted with paper.

Two words on the book: Thank you!

Chu Xiong was dazed for a while, looking at this handwriting, it should be from the hand of one person. However, he ran to attack and kill their cottage, why did this person leave a thank you message at the door of his cottage?

Wang Jie felt very strange when he was fighting on the road in the back mountain, why did these people from Wulong Mountain do this? It was not until he saw the word "thank you" that he suddenly realized: "Ouch." Not good. We've been tricked again..."

Chu Xiong was puzzled: "Aren't we doing well right now, where did we get a plan!"

Wang Jie said: "Hey, it's too late to say more, Brother Chu, let's go back to the cottage quickly......" Before his words fell, the people had already spurred their horses and rushed to the Moyuding village.

Chu Xiong saw Wang Jie's panicked appearance, and he couldn't care about the brother behind him, so he hurriedly hit his horse to catch up. After a while, there was a ghost crying wolf howl on the top of the grinding machine, and the brothers who were left behind didn't know what was happening, but they could only hear that the voice should be from the big boss.

Chu Xiong's cry echoed among the mountains and forests. "...... My money...... My jewels......"

The words were divided into two ends, on the official road outside Dingzhou City, Hou Cheng hummed a small song and set up a carriage, and there were five red lacquered wooden boxes piled on the carriage. In front of him were Lu Laosan and others, riding a high-headed horse, their eyebrows were open, talking and laughing! Behind the carriage were Duan Chao and Shen Mu riding side by side.

As long as Shen Mu has time in the past few months, he has followed Ma Linzi to learn to ride a horse, and although he can't be regarded as superb in riding at this time, he can also control it freely.

Duan Chao was in a very good mood, and in the past few months, he had never been so happy as he was today.

Duan Chao hummed a tune, the tune was a fishing song in Zhenjiang Mansion. Humming a song, Duan Chao said: "Brother Shen, you are really powerful, we got so much gold, silver and jewelry without much effort, and by the way, we repaired those people, comfortable, really comfortable." ”

Shen Mu was not so easy, although he used a set of serial schemes, he first trapped the people who were grinding in the cottage, frustrated their sharpness, and became frightened birds. Then they were led to the back mountain path to delay time. Together with Duan Chao and others, he looted all the treasures in the grinding top with lightning speed. When Chu Xiong returned to the village and saw that the money he had accumulated so hard was gone, how could he not go crazy! As for the people who stayed in Wulong Mountain to light the firewood, they were only four members of the bow team. Everyone is a good archer, and according to Shen Mu's instructions, they prepared more torches. In a panic, how did Chu Xiong know that there were only four people at the gate of the village.
