Chapter 506: Five Horse Gangs
readx;
The forests of the two realms stretch for thousands of miles from north to south, the terrain is uneven, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel, among which there are both lofty mountains and deep valleys, and there are a few sayings circulating here, but it has become the best interpretation of the forests of the two realms. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The forests of the two realms become one domain, and one domain is difficult for thousands of miles.
The north and south stretch from east to west, and there is no chaos in the east and west
It is difficult to find a road on a sunny day, and a thunderstorm is a heavy day.
The four directions and six roads are not divided, and it is difficult to circle in February and August.
It can be seen from this that in addition to the high mountains and the steep terrain in the forests of the Two Realms, there is no fixed road to be found, and the road that people have stepped on today may be covered by new moss and weeds after a night of rain, so it is very easy for people walking in the forest to confuse various directions, so that they are trapped in the forest of the Two Realms and it is difficult to get out. There is no winter in the forests of the two realms, it is humid and hot all year round, and there is light rain, and the sun is not seen once for almost ten days and half a month, and the weather is completely different between the mountains and mountains. In addition, there are towering trees everywhere that several people hug, and under the moisture of the rain, the branches and leaves are luxuriant and cover the sky, and even at night, it is impossible to distinguish the direction of the twenty-eight stars, and even a bright moon cannot be found.
Most of the bandit gangs in the forests of the two realms are divided by mountains and ruled by valleys. Each does its own business and feeds its own people. Although there is an intersection with each other, but the influence is not great, so there will naturally be an uneven situation of strength, some gangs are getting bigger and richer, but some bandits are barely able to make ends meet, and even difficult to protect themselves. Things such as annexation, alliance, extermination, and land grabbing happen from time to time, after all, how many of the bandits who can gain a foothold in the forests of the two realms by blocking the road and robbing are good at stubble?
Legend has it that there are dozens of big gangs, more than 100 small gangs, thousands of gangs and thieves, and thousands of rabbles in the forests of the two realms. In fact, this only shows from the side that there are very many bandits in the forests of the two realms, but there are not really so many bandits.
It is in such a complex forest of the two realms, the 'Five Horse Gang' can definitely be regarded as a well-known bandit, in the two realms of the forest, if the five horse gang only recognizes themselves as the second, then I am afraid that no one dares to stand up and say that they are the first. There are more than 1,000 gangs gathered in the Five Horse Gang, not to mention anything else, there are only a handful of people who can compete with it in the Two Realms Forest in terms of numbers, not to mention that the Five Horse Gang has always been known for its ferocity and cruelty, not only among the caravans, but also among the bandits in the Two Realms Forest.
The leader of the Five Horse Gang is nicknamed "Fast Horse and One Knife", and he is known as the Five Masters. His real name was 'Zheng Xiaowu', and he later changed his name to "Zheng Xiaowu" because his name was too stingy. However, in the forest of the two realms, in front of Zheng Xiaowu, the people who called him by his name broke their fingers, and there were not many of them.
Zheng Xiaowu's family is the son of a stone merchant in the border town of 'Black Stone Town', south of the forests of the Two Realms, and the Zheng family is a native of the spirit family. Blackstone Town is named because it is rich in a kind of 'black stone' that specializes in jade carving, so eight of the ten families in Blackstone Town are engaged in stone business, and their main purpose is to transport the mined black stone to the spiritual realm and even the holy realm to sell and sell it for a living, and the Zheng family is no exception.
The Zheng family has five children, two boys and three girls. Fathers and mothers are rough people who work, so they don't know how to name them, so Zheng Boss, Zheng Lao's second, Zheng Lao's third, Zheng Xiaosi, and Zheng Xiaowu's are ranked in order according to their seniority, and they can't distinguish between men and women from their names, among which Zheng Boss is a boy, and the second, third, and fourth are girls, that is, Zheng Xiaowu's elder brother and three sisters. was originally an ordinary family, but because of a disaster forty years ago, the Zheng family's life was completely changed.
Forty years ago, the old man of the Zheng family escorted a large number of stones to the Golden Gate Pass of the Holy Land with his wife and children as before, but when he passed through the forests of the two realms, he was looted by the five waves of thieves. When the desperate Old Man Zheng escaped death with his family and planned to return to Blackstone Town, he was unlucky to encounter the sixth wave of thieves. And after the sixth wave of thieves learned that they were penniless, they were angry and directly robbed people, and in front of the old man of the Zheng family and his two sons, the thieves took turns to rape Mrs. Zheng and the three daughters of the Zheng family, the youngest Zheng Xiaofang was only nine years old, and the four daughters of the Zheng family were abused to death by this group of mountain bandits who lost their conscience, and finally they killed Master Zheng and Zheng Boss in a row, Zheng Xiaowu should have died in that catastrophe, but the will of heaven is often so elusive, the knife of the bandit leader slashed Zheng Xiaowu's face, from his eyebrows directly to his chin, almost splitting his head in half, but on the third day after the mountain bandits left, Zheng Xiaowu, who passed out, miraculously came back to life, and he was only seven years old when he escaped death
Since that year, Zheng Xiaowu has never stepped out of the Two Realms Forest for a full forty years. No one knew how the young and ignorant Zheng Xiaowu survived in the Forest of the Two Realms. I only know that ten years later, a brave young man suddenly came out of the Two Realms Forest, and this person crisscrossed the Two Realms Forest with one sword and one horse. This person is young but cultivates in order to attain, and his methods are even more ruthless. This knife will be killed when it is unsheathed and bloody. This horse, the mountains and deep valleys can be as flat as the ground, and the abyss also dares to leap and take off. Zheng Xiaowu single-handedly wiped out many time-honored gangs, and then founded the Five Horse Gang at the age of seventeen in the mixed forest of the two realms, and it is said that the Five Horse Gang originally followed Zheng Xiaowu There were only four brothers, plus he happened to be exactly five people. Therefore, the Five Horse Gang has both the origin of Zheng Xiaowu's name and the meaning of the original five brothers.
Since then, the Five Horse Gang has been out of control, expanding its power step by step in the forest of the two realms, and after another ten years, the five horse gang has completely occupied a strong position in the forest of the two realms, and no one dares to recognize the first. The throne of this dragon head has been sitting for a full twenty years, and Zheng Xiaowu has gradually changed from the original junior fifth and fifth brother to the 'fifth master' of today's Megatron Two Realms Forest.
And the unwritten rules that circulate in the Two Realms Forest today, such as robbing money is only fifty percent, a caravan passing through the Two Realms Forest cannot be robbed more than three times at a time, and there are only robberies of wealth without trying to die, etc., are actually set by Zheng Xiaowu. Although Zheng Xiaowu has never officially stood up and announced anything, he has truly changed the laws of survival of the Two Realms Forest for so many years.
Although the murder is famous, in the minds of people inside and outside the Two Realms Forest, Zheng Xiaowu is an out-and-out true man.
The location of the Five Horse Gang is in the hinterland of the forest of the two realms, it is a feng shui treasure land surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water, Zheng Xiaowu's cottage looks more like a village from a distance, and the brothers in the gang are in front of their respective bamboo buildings when they are fine, they burn fires, cook, do laundry, and occasionally feed horses and livestock, and their lives are quite happy.
Today's weather is stuffy, just after noon but the sky is cloudy like evening, as if there is a rainstorm gathered in the black clouds in the air, but it can't come down for a long time, there is no need to do anything to sit there, the sweat all over the body is like no money whirring down, the brothers in the village are bare-chested and jump down the river to fish and frolic, of course, some of the people who are responsible for standing guard are holding the sweat of the four necks, and walking back and forth in and out of the village with swords.
If it were a weekday, most of the brothers in the village would go out in groups to 'do a few deals' under Zheng Xiaowu's arrangement. But today, Zheng Xiaowu made an exception to let the brothers rest in the stockade. Why? Because today there is a very special guest in the village, and this person has brought a big deal.
At this moment, Zheng Xiaowu and this guest were talking secretly on the second-floor bamboo building in the deepest part of the village.
Due to the humidity and stuffiness, snakes, insects, rats and ants are abundant, so most of the dwellings in the forests of the two realms are two-story bamboo buildings, of which the second floor is relatively dry and cool, so it is used for people, and the first floor is used as a horse shed and a cowshed. Zheng Xiaowu himself is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, so the bamboo building he lives in is no different from the bamboo building where other gangs live, it looks so simple from a distance, and it can even be described as simple.
The second floor of the bamboo building is divided into three rooms, with the left and right wings sleeping, and the middle one is barely a hall. At this moment, there is a huge copper basin in the middle of the hall, and in the copper basin is actually full of pieces of ice lumps, and the whole hall looks quite cool under the action of ice lumps. And Zheng Xiaowu and the guest are sitting on both sides of this copper basin at the moment, Zheng Xiaowu is sitting on a bamboo mat, and under the guest's buttocks is sitting a small wooden stool.
Black hair shawl, thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight nose and wide mouth, big shoulders and round waist, these four words are the best description of Zheng Xiaowu's image. His skin is slightly dark, and his facial features are fairly upright, but the scar on his face that falls from the center of his eyebrows to his chin is particularly eye-catching. Forty years have passed, but the scar still looks shocking and haunting today.
The guest sitting opposite Zheng Xiaowu was a typical profiteer, dressed in glossy clothes, wearing non-gold and jade around his neck, wrists, and fingers, and a gold silk belt full of rare jade pendants was wrapped around his waist
。 Mung bean eyebrows, rat eyes, a small, pointed nose and a chattering mouth, the two glittering gold teeth in the mouth are particularly disgusting.
This person has been coming to the Five Horse Gang for half an hour, and in this half an hour, Zheng Xiaowu only asked, "What does the person mean by coming?" and this person has been talking about it until now.
"Mr. Wei!" Finally, Zheng Xiaowu seemed to be a little impatient when he listened, and couldn't help but interrupt this person's words, this person's name is Wei Bao. Zheng Xiaowu respected him before calling him Mr. Wei, Zheng Xiaowu's voice was the same as others, as bright as a bell but as deep as a mountain, "I already understand what you mean, but you should also know my rules, only rob money and not seek life!"
"Fifth Master, you are the master of the Two Realms Forest, this rule is not all set by you alone, besides, the rule is that the dead are alive!" Wei Bao said with a smirk on his face, "Even if you kill someone, I think no one in the two realms of the forest will dare to say that you are not, do you say that this is the reason!"
"Since your young lady can afford to produce so many golden shells, why can't she find a master who kills for her?" Zheng Xiaowu asked quite puzzledly, "A life is 10,000 golden shells, and the person I want to kill at this price is definitely not an ordinary person, right?" I don't know who your master, Miss Yufeng, is, but I have already heard of Lu Yifan of the Sacred Realm Soul Sect that you are going to deal with. If you want to kill him, it's not as easy as you say!"
"Easy things won't bother you, Fifth Master, aren't they?" Wei Bao nodded and smiled, "As long as Fifth Master is willing to agree to this matter, I guarantee that you will earn more in this transaction than in ten years! With the reputation of Zheng Wuye of the Two Realms Forest, in fact, I don't have any problem at all even if I give it to you! Think about it, Lu Yifan of the Soul Sect is just one of them, and there are still many other groups of people who have come from the Sacred Domain? Our Miss Yufeng said that in this month, as long as you go from the Sacred Domain to the Two Realms Forest, you will be killed, and no one will be spared, and if you kill one, we will give you one person's money. The more you kill, the more you earn. If you kill someone from the Soul Sect, I can count 20,000 gold shells for you, and if you kill Lu Yifan and his cronies, I can count 30,000 gold shells for you! What do you think?"
"Joke!" Zheng Xiaowu suddenly sneered, "Do you think that the fifth master and I lack your money? When have you ever heard that the fifth master is doing things for money?"
"That's that!" Wei Bao kowtowed again and again, "The fifth master is rich and generous, but the villain is vulgar, and I hope that the fifth master will not be surprised." ”
While the two were talking, I saw a maid in a cyan robe slowly walking up from downstairs with a pot of new tea, her fair complexion, slender figure, tender skin, and the woman's bare white and small jade feet, which made Wei Bao's eyes straighten for a while. Ever since the maid appeared on the second floor, Wei Bao's eyes had never left her for half a minute.
"The Fifth Master's Five Horse Gang is really outstanding! The man is mighty and strong, and the woman is like a fairy, I really envy me!
"Mr. Wei is overrated!" Zheng Xiaowu glanced at Wei Bao's eyes full of evil light with a little disgust, but said lightly, "I still say the same thing, the Two Realms Forest has the rules of the Two Realms Forest, and I can't break the rules here even if I am one of them." It's okay to rob money, but it's not okay to kill people rashly, it's not moral!"
"Fifth Master, what you are doing is blocking the road and robbing it, which is originally a morally discordant thing, so why ...... it"
"Huh?"
Before Wei Bao could finish speaking, Zheng Xiaowu's eyes suddenly widened, and Wei Bao was so frightened that he hurriedly swallowed back the words that followed.
"Fifth Master, this is a casual transaction of millions of golden shells, you can think about it clearly
Wei Bao hurriedly changed his words, "My young lady respects the Fifth Master's personality and knows that the forests of these two realms are the land of your Fifth Master, so she sent the little one to ask you for help." If you insist on refusing, then my young lady will find a large number of masters to come again, and then won't it be even more disturbing to the rules of the two realms of forests?
Hearing Wei Bao's words, Zheng Xiaowu couldn't help frowning, although Wei Bao's words were rude, they were not without some truth. Don't say that it is 10,000 gold shells to kill one person, even if it is 10,000 silver shells to kill one person, the masters who rush to do it are everywhere, once a large number of masters pour into the forest of the two realms, the situation will definitely get out of control at that time, not only can you not talk about any rules, but the five horse gangs will also be implicated. After all, the Five Horse Gang is at best just bandits in the mountains, and if they really meet a large number of foreign masters, it is really not good to say who dies or who lives.
"Who do you want to kill?" After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Xiaowu finally let go, only to see him frowning slightly and looking at Wei Bao, and asked faintly, "I feel that your young lady actually wants to kill just one person, but she herself can't tell where this person is, so she will cast a net on a large scale." And if my expectations are good, there is a high probability that this person should be by the side of Lu Yifan of the Soul Sect, right?"
"This ......" Hearing Zheng Xiaowu's words, Wei Bao couldn't help but hesitate, then nodded with a wry smile, "There are some things I shouldn't have said, but since the fifth master has already guessed it, then it doesn't hurt for me to tell the fifth master! Yes, there is actually only one person our young lady wants to kill, and this person is by the side of Lu Yifan, the sect leader of the Soul Sect, but for some reason, it is inconvenient for my young lady to say it too clearly, and it is inconvenient to do it herself, so I want to ask the fifth master for help!"
"Since that's the case, don't kill innocents in vain!" Zheng Xiaowu said in a deep voice, "Find out this person, I will solve it for your young lady!
"Money is not a problem!" Wei Bao happily agreed, "It's just that it is really difficult to find this person, although it is rumored that Lu Yifan of the Soul Sect personally led two thousand Soul Sect disciples from the Holy Realm, but in fact, it is not known whether the real Lu Yifan is in this team!"
"That's why you want to kill all the people from the Holy Realm, leaving not a single one?" Zheng Xiaowu asked with a sneer.
"There's no way to do it!" Wei Bao said helplessly, "Miss has a life, this person must not live to the Spirit Realm!"
"In addition to knowing that this person may be by Lu Yifan's side, what other clues are there?" Zheng Xiaowu asked loudly, "It's impossible for me to kill all the people!"
"And ...... And ......" Wei Bao suddenly flashed a gleam in his eyes after thinking for a moment, and then exclaimed excitedly, "There are also treasures sent by the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, and I think they are also by Lu Yifan's side! As long as you find this batch of treasures and kill all the people who escorted the treasures, I believe it will not be wrong!"
"The treasure sent to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet......" Zheng Xiaowu repeated to himself as he pondered, "It sounds a little interesting, it's more interesting than your one million golden shells!"
"I understand what the fifth master means, after the matter is completed, all these treasures will belong to the fifth master, and we will not take a penny!" Wei Bao agreed 'generously', "Not only that, after the matter is completed, my young lady will also help the fifth master to check up and down in the Five Domains Alliance, and ensure that no one will investigate this matter!" Wei Bao also smiled evilly at Zheng Xiaowu and squeezed his eyes.
"Check the carriages and horses of the people who come and go one by one, and then find out who to deal with!" Zheng Xiaowu said faintly, "In this way, those who have nothing to do can be released, and it is not too late to take action if there is a problem!" After that, the corners of Zheng Xiaowu's mouth suddenly raised a satisfied smile.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means!" Wei Bao nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, "What does the fifth master ......mean?"
"Go back and tell your family Miss Yufeng, I took over this deal from the Five Horse Gang!"
......
