Gao Xu, who was covered with blood, helped up the entourage, and after standing with difficulty, he took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his face clean, and his face, which was originally quite clean, began to swell, and some others did not dare to say that it was ridiculous.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he pressed the handkerchief close to his mouth, and half of his broken teeth and bloody spit appeared on it, and then he was wrapped in a ball of grass and discarded in the grass aside.

Under the crooked locust tree at the entrance of the town, Gao Xu looked back at the location of the Xiaoqing Building for the last time, this bamboo building that seemed to be out of place with the surroundings earlier, and this poor and remote house also seemed to have some similarities.

Then he turned and walked away, his back slightly rickety.

....

Halfway out of the mountain road, the disciples of Songfeng Mountain who were waiting at the mountain pass waited for the rain to be a little lighter and led the horse to meet them, and the bantam horse with all four hooves wrapped in coarse cloth did not have the risk of falling off the hooves on the slippery mountain road, and Gao Xu, who was already a little staggering, took the reins handed over by the disciples of Songfeng Mountain, turned over the horse with some difficulty, and then walked out of the green mountain.

When Qishan County is within the reach of the eye, the sky is already bright, and the short-legged pack horse that was hastily found can cope with one or two on the mountain road. When the chariot and horse dealer in that county learned that it was the lord of Songfeng Mountain who came to Qishan County, he had already consciously sent the best chariots and horses he had found to the disciples who came to Songfeng Mountain earlier, and the money was naturally nothing.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse dealership who had a good fortune was dressed in the best clothes, and personally guarded the side of the double-carriage that had led the men up and down to straighten out the carriage in the morning, and the fat shopkeeper who had a good body stood with his legs and feet a little sore, and the mountains were cold after autumn, and every fluff on his shoulders was trembling on his valuable Pikan. The shopkeeper's face, which was always full of smiles, stiffened a little, and he kept rubbing his hands and asked the disciple of Songfeng Mountain beside him:

"This brother, do you know when the mountain lord will be able to go out of the mountain? Dozens of merchants and big guys in the city have prepared a thin banquet, thinking about picking up the wind and washing the dust for the mountain lord..."

After the fat shopkeeper spoke a few words, he realized that the disciple of Songfeng Mountain did not say that he turned his head and ignored it, but he turned around and said that he owed it slightly, and did not give it to him, which is also a head and face in Qishan County. The fat shopkeeper, who is known for bullying the labor of the guys in the carriage and horse shop, didn't dare to say more, but muttered in his heart, but he was just a mud leg handle who could play some, and he didn't know what luck he had hit at this time, and he didn't know how to restrain himself.

muttering in his heart, this fat shopkeeper with excellent ability to judge the situation categorically did not dare to make anything on the surface, so he could only rub the two fat legs, and then stood on tiptoe to look at the mountain road.

Seeing the figure of the figure at the mouth of the mountain pass, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly dragged up the two fat legs, trotted towards the mountain road, but did not stand for too long, did not take a few steps out of the calf and stomach cramps, pulled up after the body was unstable, after jumping twice on one foot, the cowhide boots slipped, and fell into the puddle in front of him, and fell into the mud.

The disciple of the fat big Songfeng Mountain, who was also guarding the double carriage before, gave an undisguised mockery, and the bantam horse that Gao Xu was riding calmly passed by the fat shopkeeper who had just gotten up from the puddle, and then entered the carriage and lowered the curtain.

"Lord of the mountains, Lord of the mountains. The panting fat shopkeeper limped towards the carriage, and took out an invitation from his bosom that had not been stained by muddy water and was smeared with gold dust, "I am the shopkeeper Shen of the carriage and horse shop in the city, and the city has prepared it..."

"Get out. ”

There was a very short sound from the carriage, so short that the shopkeeper Shen of the Qishan County Carriage and Horse Dealer mistakenly thought that he had heard it wrong, but the carriage that was far away would not lie to him.

The gold-dusted invitation fell to the ground, and the paper that was still regarded as a treasure was mixed with the muddy water on the ground, and then trampled by hurried men and horses' hooves, and became the thing that any old man who picks up rotten paper disdained.

....

Gao Xu in the carriage blocked his mouth with a handkerchief, and he let go of his hand after coughing like a storm, and the handkerchief was blood-red.

The coughing was muffled by the sound of the wheels rolling, and no third person could hear it, except for the groom driving in front of him.

Gao Xu knew that Songfeng Mountain's attitude towards these merchants at this time should not be so blunt, and he himself was originally happy to pretend to talk happily with these businessmen who sent silver, after all, Songfeng Mountain at this time urgently needed as much silver as possible.

But the punch that went together was much heavier than he imagined, which made Gao Xu feel relieved for a while that his martial arts had entered the realm, and he had to deal with his injuries head-on.

Even if he is a martial artist with a strong physique, a few tricks on his head have to be carefully protected against the enemy, and Gao Xu, who has tried to see if there is still affection between himself and Yue Qingqing, got the result he wanted, but the physical condition made him anxious, and this prescription was patched up properly, and there were some cracks in the other place.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the addiction and pain of the wild incense hit Gao Xu at the same time, and Gao Xu, who was sitting cross-legged, sweated like rain, his face was fluctuating between blue, white, and red, and his face was extremely painful.

"Why bother, the incense of this gate is not a beast of prey. A long sigh came from the front of the carriage, "The spirit of the mountain lord is commendable, if you endure it really hard, you just need to let me know." ”

Gao Xu, who could only squeeze out a rolling sound from between his teeth, had green tendons on his face, and his body trembled violently, as if he had reached some critical juncture.

It's just a moment, but it seems like years of hardship for him, but it has finally passed.

The qi in his body roamed freely in a newly opened hole, Gao Xu calmed his breathing, and took off his sweat-soaked clothes, revealing a few newly healed gunshot wounds, and a large bruise next to the newly grown tender pink skin and flesh on the strong muscles, and the best gold sore medicine and the famous doctors in Songfeng County could heal the wound to such an extent in less than two months.

Gao Xu, who was dressed in a wide robe, seemed to have become the calm and calm mountain master of Songfeng Mountain, he leaned lazily on the cushion in the carriage, and said to the coachman who happened before:

"The effect of wild incense, needless to say, when Cutting Lutai sent this medicine, Gao knew that it was extremely difficult to quit after being stained with this medicine. He propped his head up with his hands, "However, if you can endure the addiction once, you can endure the second and third times, and in the long run, it will naturally be nothing." ”

The voice in front of the carriage was silent, and then sighed in a tone: "It turns out that the mountain master has the idea of borrowing the stones of other mountains to attack jade, but the villain is abrupt. ”

"The assassin who can rank among the top three in killing people in the deer cutting platform calls himself a villain to Gao, which is too prestigious. ”

"Killing can be ranked in the top three, not killing methods can be ranked in the top three, otherwise just sanitizing some rural villagers, you can become the number one assassin in the world, which is too ridiculous." The man driving the carriage laughed at himself, "The villain is not as brave as those who are amazing and glamorous in the deer cutting platform, and they dare to kill those real masters, and they will naturally die faster than those who dare to pick up soft persimmons and pinch timid goods like me." ”

"Cockroaches.... It's your name in the deer-cutting platform, right?"

"It's really scary that a cheap name can enter the ears of the lord of the mountain. Since its establishment, the name of the Assassin has been replaced by snakes and insects at the beginning of the Cutting Deer Stage, and after the death of the Assassin, it has been passed on to the next generation, and the title of cockroach has been used by more than a dozen people before him, half of them have died in old age, and it is also the leading code name in the Cutting Deer Table.

The assassins who were fortunate enough to be given this name by the blue-eyed division commander were not without experiencing dangerous killings, but they were able to turn danger into relief, and the reason why the assassin who had already used the cockroach as a life-saving talisman in his heart was able to kill people in the top three in the building He also had self-knowledge in his heart, and there were many reasons why he lived much longer than his peers.

"Cockroach is a good name. His division commander patted him on the face after naming him, "But a code name of good luck is not everything." ”

Then the Commander's sudden blow nearly broke three of his ribs, and the Assassin, who had been recuperating in bed for a month before he could get off the ground, seemed to understand what he said when he saw the Commander again.

"Don't be presumptuous, the top ten assassins in the deer cutting platform, the code name Gao is clear, the one who died on Songfeng Mountain is Yu, you are a cockroach, and the bamboo leaf green who led the team to attack the lake at night that night is a terrifying name," Gao Xu muttered, "But if the Zhang family in Qishan County chose Songfeng Mountain at that time, you Huizhou Cutting Deer Tai would not have had the opportunity to come to Jiangzhou to get a piece of the pie." ”

"Lord of the Mountain, I'm afraid it's a little late for you to say this at this time. The assassin who called the cockroach laughed, "The order to kill the Zhang family in Qishan County was issued by the Huizhou station, and it has been ascertained that the Zhang family in Qishan County has 16 relatives and relatives, and 273 disciples of the Zhang family, the lord of the high mountain, don't forget that the bandit titles of Yanyulou and Zhangjiagun are still the hats worn by your brother who served as the general of Jiangzhou. ”

"yes, it's too late to say anything, I can't go back now. ”

"Presumably, at this time, it is written that the disciples of the Zhang family attacked and killed the official army, sold illegal salt, and the official list of adulterous wives and daughters has been posted, and the people of Qishan County will probably be spurned by everyone. The cockroach driving the carriage said briskly, "Don't you want to go into the city to see the current Zhangfu? and the merchants of Qishan County seem to have a banquet to entertain before." ”

Gao Xu frowned, got up from the cushion and said, "It's okay to go to the banquet, Zhangfu will be exempted, don't lose your appetite." ”

"Gotcha. ”

As a coachman, the assassin of the deer cutting platform was familiar with driving the two-horse carriage drawn by two horses, and this cockroach who looked like an ordinary horseman showed a flattering smile to the armor guarding the gate of Qishan County, and threw a small string of copper plates early, and the carriage that Gao Xu was riding went straight into Qishan County.

There was expensive agarwood smoked in the carriage, and the disgusting blood gas outside naturally did not defile the breath of the mountain lord of Songfeng Mountain.

The carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant with the sign of Fuxianju, and all the leading figures in Qishan County, including the new magistrate, greeted the bricks and stones that were not stained with a little dust in front of the restaurant.

It should be a mix of food and wine.

The "righteous warriors" of Jiangzhou and the characters of Qishan County who came to clean up the bandits of the Zhang family raised their glasses to Gao Xu together.

Three years ago, someone here also toasted a brave ranger.

How ridiculous.
