It was dark early in the mountains, and at dusk, the remnants of the sun seemed to be brilliant in the sky for only a short moment, and then they were swallowed up by the endless darkness, and the endless undulating mountains immediately fell into a dark and gloomy night.

The cold evening breeze blew across the deep cliffs, and the wind was mixed with high and low whistles, and the pale white mist filled up from the bottom of the cliffs, obscuring the mountains opposite and the water bandit villages hidden in the mountains.

There is no light on the edge of the cliff, under the dim moonlight, the shadows are faintly visible swaying and staggering, the night wind blows through the clothes, the hunting sounds, the number of people is obviously quite a lot, all of them are dressed in dark narrow night clothes, the soft sword is wrapped around the waist, the breath is astringent, only faintly revealing a little murderous awe-inspiring cold, and the moonlight of Liangjin reflects each other.

Han Changdui stepped on a boulder on the edge of the cliff with one foot, the vast night dew soaked the hem of his clothes that rose and fell in the wind, and the dots of water quickly turned into deep and cold dark flowers.

He held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and his eyes pierced through the fog like a torch and landed on the opposite side of the cliff.

His eyebrows were frowning, it was getting late, the fog in the mountain was thick, and it was dark on the opposite side, without any lights, even if there was a clairvoyant mirror transformed by Yao Qi, the distance was much farther than the ordinary clairvoyant, but he still couldn't clearly see the situation in the opposite mountain.

He squinted, laughed, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, when he came, he checked the details of this group of Qingyunzhai water bandits, decades ago they were just a nest of rabble, living in no fixed place, drifting around on the Jialing River.

Most of the water bandits who have become large-scale are to choose a foothold in the rapids and rapids, build water villages, and resist the attack of the imperial court or peers.

But the water bandits in Qingyun Village obviously did not take the ordinary road, I don't know which master was instructed, and actually built a cottage in the hidden place of this lofty mountain, and the water bandits retreated as mountain bandits.

"My lord, I've asked for it." Wang Xian hurriedly walked to Han Changdu's side, stood with his hands tied, he changed his clothes, and his hair was combed again, but he still couldn't hide the thick bloody atmosphere, which made him honest, a little more murderous out of thin air.

Han Changdui spit out a word without replying: "Say." ”

Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "These people are also water bandits in Qingyun Village, one of them is still the leader of the village, and he is under the orders of Li Changming, the second master in the cottage, they confessed that they did send a boatload of girls a few days ago, and they were sent directly into the village, and they have not been sent out in the past few days, this is their confession, and there is a way to enter the cottage." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few pages of paper, held them in both hands and handed them to Han Changdu.

Han Changwan took the pages and read them carefully, these water bandits have been stationed here all the year round, and they have not stayed in the cottage for a few days, and they don't know much about the situation in the village, if there is no person who is familiar with the situation in the cottage, and Gu Chen's news can't come out, the internal guards are so rashly mixed into the cottage, they are live targets, not only can they not get in touch with Gu Chen and them smoothly, find out the situation of the cottage, and even self-protection is a problem.

He pondered for a moment, and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell the internal guards to hide on the spot, you personally go and pick a few smart internal guards who are good at camouflage and concealment, once there are water bandits who want to enter the cottage in the next few days, they will replace the water bandits and enter the village."

Lurk. ”

Wang Xianying claimed: "Yes, the lowly position has left the flag-playing bandits, and the internal guards have replaced several other bandits, which must be foolproof." ”

Han Changdui folded the confession and put it in his sleeve, stepped on the boulder again, and held the clairvoyant mirror to look into the distance, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.

According to the confessions of these water bandits, it seems that there is only one way up the mountain, and the water bandits on this side of the cliff will wave the flag, and the water bandits on the other side of the cliff will shake the ropeway up, and the people will be sent to the opposite cliff by the hanging basket on the ropeway, and then the water bandits will carefully search behind them before they can enter the cottage.

The water bandits who control the cableway on the other side of the cliff are the most elite and best water bandits in the cottage, and they have laid down several long-range and powerful bows and crossbows on the edge of the cliff, and once they find something strange about the people on the cableway, they will shoot them immediately without hesitation.

In this case, he was not sure that without the leadership of the water bandits, he would attack the gate of the cottage from this ropeway.

Just as Han Changdui stared at the other side of the cliff and was at a loss, the two of them came from the bottom of the mountain, tearing through the night, and finally the horses stopped outside the small farm yard halfway up the mountain.

The two turned over and dismounted, and just rushed to the outside of the chai door, before they had time to knock on the door, a sudden sound of swords suddenly sounded around them, and the sharp cold light surrounded the two, and the killing aura was instantly solemn and thick.

Seeing this, one of the two hurriedly took out a sign from his sleeve, shook it in front of everyone's eyes, and shouted: "The order of the internal security secretary is here!" Take me to the envoy quickly! ”

The group of internal guards who gathered around looked at each other, they didn't know the two people in front of them, but they knew that the sign in the person's hand was the token of the internal security envoy.

The guards glanced at each other and put away their long swords, but out of caution, they didn't mean to take the two of them up the mountain.

The man with the token in his hand stepped forward and continued with a solemn expression: "Below is Jin Yu, the head of Lord Han's mansion. He glanced back with a jealous expression, and said solemnly: "This is Lord Qiu Fuqiu, the commander of the left guard of the Yulin Army, who came to see the envoy by holy order. ”

When the internal guards heard this, their faces changed, they glanced at each other, and the internal guards led by them came out of the crowd and saluted respectfully: "It turned out to be Chief Jin, and the lord has left here and entered the mountain." He hesitantly glanced at the man who was wrapped in a long dark cloak, and couldn't even see his face clearly: "There are many dangers in the mountain, why don't you let Chief Jin and Commander Qiu rest here now, and send someone into the mountain to ask the envoy to come back." ”

Hearing this, Jin Yu subconsciously turned his head to look at Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu was wrapped in a floor-dragging cloak, with a hood on his head and face, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and his whole body was wrapped in a gloomy ghostly aura, which was very uncomfortable.

He noticed Jin Yu's gaze, but he still didn't speak, only shook his head very faintly.

Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "No need, the stakes are very high, and we can't delay, there is a labor captain who arranged for someone to take us into the mountain." ”

The internal guard led by him was a little embarrassed, his face sank, and he said as usual in an instant: "Yes, what Mr. Jin said is very true, and this will be arranged." ”

The night is getting deeper, the surroundings are silent, and there are few idle people walking back and forth in the deep mountain village, and the footsteps of ups and downs are patrolling back and forth

The bandits were gone.

There are no lights on the path in the whole cottage, and it is dark from a distance, and the lamps carried by the water bandits patrolling back and forth emit a faint light, like dots of fireflies scattered among the lush grass and trees.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the light was like a bean, and a faint green smoke curled and spread over the jumping flames.

Li Changming and Dou Weiqi sat opposite each other in front of the dining table, on which there were simple four dishes of wine, and the wanton aroma of wine overflowed from the opened wine jar.

Li Changming's face was already flushed, his eyes were drunk, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hands shook and fell on the dining table.

He didn't pick it up, he took a sip of wine from the wine cup and drank it, drunken mouth, and spit out the scorching smell of wine: "Third child, you said, caught such a big fish, but the eldest brother hid it from us, what did he want to do?" ”

Dou Weiqi blinked: "How could the eldest brother deliberately hide it from us, I'm afraid that there are too many things, and there are some who forget it for a while." ”

"Fart!!" Li Changming "snapped", slapped the food table heavily, his scarlet eyes widened, and he muttered and scolded: "Fart, the third child, you will please both sides, you are a wall grass, what did he forget, he just wanted to swallow it privately, he is a man with a son!" He, he. ”

Li Changming was so excited that his face turned red, and the loud "pop" of the food table kept coming: "He has a son!" You and I don't! With such a big family business that we have worked so hard to build, we have to cheapen his turtle son! ”

Dou Weiqi was speechless when he heard this, and pursed his lips.

It seems that if the two of them have a son, they can rob the family business with Zhao Yingrong.

Not to mention that they have no children or daughters, even if they have a son and a half daughter, it is impossible for this water bandit den to belong to the two of them.

Zhao Yingrong doesn't have only one son, but he has a group of sons.

Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle with father and son, people from father to son are a large group, looking at it is cold, he doesn't dare to fight hard.

However, most of their group are not enough, but one Zhao Fusheng, although he has more eyes and deeper scheming, he is not a cause for concern if the foundation is shallow.

Therefore, to deal with Zhao Yingrong's father and son, it is better to fight with open fire than to play with conspiracy.

If there was no Xue Shou beside him to get in the way, he would have already played with Zhao Yingrong's father and son in the palm of his hand.

It's just that Dou Weiqi would never say this to Li Changming.

Li Changming is a person, who is the second fool in the village, in fact, he is the one who can count the big fools in the cottage, and he always feels that he is both wise and brave, his body size and skills are obviously the life of a thug, but he wants to learn conspiracy and conspiracy from others, and stretches his neck to make people calculate and instigate.

It's also a strange flower in people's stupidity and unknowing.

Seeing that Dou Weiqi lowered his head and was silent, just blindly drinking, Li Changming suddenly became angry, glared at Dou Weiqi viciously, and scolded and scolded: "Third child, don't you have a fucking long mouth, you will pretend to be dead and be a good person, do you think that if you are like this, the boss of the eldest brother's family will be able to spare you?" I'm telling you, he's not a good thing, and if he's in power, how can he let us two old guys step on his head? ”
