Chapter 117: On All Sides

When Han Feng and Zhan Fan took Song Bin and a group of mountain bandits to the pirate base camp, the pirates on the shore of Muzhou Lake were arguing fiercely about something. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Han Feng and Zhan Fan probably never dreamed that these pirates were blushing and thick-necked, and they were actually trying to deal with the two of them.

This black thing was placed on the countertop surrounded by everyone, and if Han Feng was present, he would definitely exclaim in surprise.

"Fire Thunder!"

Not far away, in a small forest, a young girl stepped on the cold pebbles, allowing the ankle-shallow stream to flow slowly on the instep of her foot. She was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, and she looked like a fairy in the forest, and she sat on a large rock, and kept kicking her little white lotus feet in the water, as if she did not look at the thousands of pirates entrenched in the lower reaches of the mountain stream.

It would be ordinary for that firm and proud gaze to appear in Zhan Fan's eyes, but this little girl is clearly delicate and invincible, and it seems that a little wind can blow her away, but I don't know where she got her confidence and fearlessness.

"Mingxi, you're disobedient again. An old man's voice came from the forest, and the girl giggled without looking back.

"Look, they drink my footwash every day, isn't that good?"

Her laughter fell, and another low whistle came from the forest. The whistling sound sounded like a monster about to come out of its cage from a distance, but up close it was just a tiger yawning.

However, several pirates who were fetching water at the mouth of the stream could not help but change their faces when they heard this sound. Several people poured some water into the water hyacinth they brought with them in a panic, and they didn't even care to see if the gourd was full, so they pushed me and ran to the camp.

Along the way, they muttered and spoke, and in and out of their words, they all complained that the current leader had set up camp and had no eyesight. Since the sound of this monster came from the mountains and forests, at first the pirates had the courage to send dozens of people into the mountains, but they never returned.

It took two or three hundred pirates to disappear before they learned to be obedient, and even the leader of the pirates stayed away from the mountains and forests, and gave a military order to avoid them. But the pirates always wondered why the leader didn't order the withdrawal of the monster that ate people and did not spit out bones in the mountains and forests.

Yunxiao Mountain is in the southwest of Rutong Town, and Muzhou Lake and Rutong Town are just at the corner. However, no matter how rampant the pirates in Muzhou Lake are, no matter how arrogant the mountain bandits in Tongzhen are, no one has ever had the idea of fighting Yunxiao Mountain.

Yunxiao Mountain is thousands of feet high, the top of the mountain can not be seen in the haze, the world is rumored to live on the top of the mountain with immortals, there is the ability to swallow the sun and the moon, and roar the heaven and the earth.

Every year, people from all over the world come to Yunxiao Mountain to worship gods and immortals, hoping that they can be liberated. These people are either pious or utilitarian, some drag their families with their mouths, some are alone, some walk barefoot for thousands of miles and have blood marks all the way, and some are full of cocoons every step of the way. However, no matter how miserable and pitiful the people at the bottom of the mountain were, and no matter how many carts of gold and silver they had, the gods on the top of the mountain never showed their faces.

In normal days, the gods don't care about anything, but when the mountain bandits and pirates are raging, the people regard the gods as the only hope. There is no shortage of people crying and wailing under the clouds, and there is no shortage of people who are desperate to death, but the gods are still high above and do not care about the world.

What began as awe turned to anger, and the worshippers were no longer focused on how to live their lives, but instead spent appeasing their anger.

Hundreds of thousands of people rushed into the Sky Mountain. When they entered the mountain, they were not hindered by the obstacles they imagined, and this success allowed them to rush to the first peak regardless of life and death.

Standing on Liantian Peak and looking into the distance, you can see the legendary immortal residence. It was a few small cottages built on the cliff of the second highest peak, Pantianfeng. The smoke curls behind the grass hut, and there is a bird's nest under the beams, which is not different from the ordinary farmer's dwelling.

The grass house is small, the mountain peak is huge, the grass house is not easy to see, but I don't know if it is because of the location of the construction or some other strangeness, when they see the grass house, everyone does not remember to pay attention to the far more majestic and magnificent Tianfeng than Liantian Peak.

And the urge to easily see the abode of the gods made these people run even more frantically, and many even forgot that there was a terrifying cliff under their feet.

As the saying goes, "Look at the mountain and walk the dead", this sentence is just exaggerated elsewhere, but it has become true here in Yunxiao Mountain.

The vast majority of people died on the way to the summit. Tired or hungry, but more often than not, the cause of death is unknown. It is not until the dead make the living feel the wrath of the gods, and until the living turn their heads wisely to leave, that the clouds and gloom that permeate the peak of the sky will disperse in a trance, and they will no longer take people's lives for no reason.

The living go satisfied, full of spirit and grief, and come back discouraged, full of distress and incomprehension.

Some people wrote this sorrow, confusion and hatred into a poem, and gradually sang it.

"Look at the clouds and peaks far away, or there are immortals on the top of the night. The empty house leaves the swallow rank and green grass, and does not pity the miserable years in the world. ”

At this time, it was a girl with a goose egg face who whispered this poem softly. Looking at the new corpses under the Climbing Sky Peak, she sighed lightly, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, and carefully sprinkled the yellow medicinal powder in the bottle on the corpse.

After a few corpses were clean, she stood up and looked up at the sky, frowning.

"Senior brother, where did you go after you went down the mountain?"

"Shizi, the Marquis of Qinghe, please go into the city for a while. ”

"Pushed it for me. ”

Since he garrisoned the army next to Qinghe City, this is the fourth time that Zhan Kang has refused the kind invitation of Ouyang Marquis of Qinghe City, and even Yao Guping feels a little unreasonable.

In any case, even if the identity of the prince is noble, the identity of the Marquis of Ouyang is not so humble that it is unbearable. What's more, Marquis Ouyang is finally the elder of the prince, and it is the fault of the prince to say this about running away from marriage.

Ouyang Hou Ye took the initiative to show favor to the prince three or four times, regardless of his previous suspicions, but the prince was so faceless...... With Yao Guping's understanding of "Ye Si", this is really not something he would do if he is good at dancing with long sleeves.

What makes Yao Guping even more difficult to understand is Zhan Kang's attitude towards the mountain bandits.

Don't fight, don't chase, don't disturb. No surrounding, no recruitment, no escape.

This is the "six noes" principle set by Zhan Kang.

Since the army arrived at Qinghe City, the surrounding mountain bandits have been scattered, and the crisis in Qinghe City has been temporarily alleviated.

He seemed to be waiting for something, but no one could guess what he was waiting for.

Meng Xianxian asked Zhan Kang more than a dozen times a day, Zhan Kang would be annoyed with her at first, but since he knew that Yan Shiyi was married, he was much depressed and ignored everything.

Meng Xianxian was afraid of his status as a son at first, but after a few days, he completely forgot Zhan Kang's unattainable identity, and dared to lose his temper with him, and even tugged and pulled. She shouted the word "Brother Ye" like a soul every day, shouting so that everyone in the entire army knew it, but Zhan Kang never said a word from beginning to end, and he never even looked at him.

Sometimes, Yao Guping looked at it coldly, almost thinking that the prince was disheartened, because Yan Shiyi's matter had become a living dead. But he clearly saw that when the scouts reported the battle every day, although Zhan Kang had a look of indifference, his gaze changed slightly.

He accurately judged whether the news was good or bad, good or harmful.

This shrewdness hidden under his dejected exterior made Yao Guping tremble, and he did not dare to neglect his military orders a little, and because of this, the garrison of the Windy City Huadu has always maintained a normal and calm appearance.

It's just that Yao Guping believes that Zhan Kang knows about the matter of the mountain bandits, but he doesn't dare to expect him to be able to easily settle his marriage with Ouyang Xiaomei. Fortunately, Marquis Ouyang never mentioned it, and the people of the entire Qinghe City seemed to have forgotten this great shame, and everyone focused on Zhan Kang's great grace of leading troops thousands of miles away to save them.

And the dramatic change that Yao Guping didn't expect also happened like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Meng Xianxian has been in the army for nearly twenty days, and everyone is used to her straightforwardness and spiciness, and they are all used to the fact that the prince really has nothing to do with her, but at this moment, early one morning, Zhan Kang actually walked out of Meng Xianxian's tent.

According to the do-gooders, Shizi was disheveled, his eyes were black, but his demeanor was complacent, and it was obvious that he had not slept well after overworking all night. And several soldiers next to Miss Meng's tent all showed a fear of being killed when asked about it, and then finally one of them did not resist the questioning of the good deeds, and spit out the truth that "the prince broke into Miss Meng's tent in the middle of the night the night before, and the two tossed for a long time, and Miss Meng seemed to shout a few times".

Although most people don't believe that the prince will be good with other girls under the nose of Qinghe City, the fact that Meng Xianxian was "ordered" by the prince to move to his own account the next night is still clearly in front of him and cannot be questioned.

But what most people don't know is that on the day Meng Xianxian lived in Zhan Kang's big tent, someone from the north of Huadu in Windy City married to Futao City on a boat, and at the same time, the south gate was opened, and five thousand newborn horses entered the horse farm of Dingkun Mountain neatly.

In the middle of the night, the stars in the dome were so bright that even the moon looked dim.

Stargazing every night has become Han Feng's habit. The autumn night was cold, but he was not afraid of the cold, but he was lying in the open air in the wilderness, just in time to see the stars in the sky.

Before killing the fifty pirates who had surrendered that day, they forced them to ask where the pirates' base camp was in Lake Mushu and how many pirates there were.

Four thousand people is just a number for most people, but Han Feng knows what four thousand people represent.

That represents a piece of human heads, even those who can't be killed, and the heads that can't be cut off. Even Zhan Fan would feel chilled in the face of four thousand enemies.

The night was deeper, and most of the bandits slept, as did the villagers. The snoring echoed in the valley, and strangely enough, the snoring was intertwined, and it was not noisy that people could not sleep peacefully, but felt a little sleepy.

After all, Village Chief You was not worried that these mountain bandits would go to Muzhou Lake to die, so he said that he had gathered a hundred young people with the two villages on the side to add to them. Looking at those young and ignorant teenagers, Han Feng had mixed feelings in his heart. These young men had no idea what they were doing, and with the simplest of wishes - not to let others come to my village, they did not hesitate to embark on a path from which they would probably never return.

However, even the most vigorous young people can be homesick and scared at night.

I don't know which one couldn't sleep and sang a ballad in a low voice, the ballad was like a nursery rhyme, but Han Feng felt very familiar when he listened to it.

“...... The imperial capital is high, and the imperial capital is good...... Green Grass ...... Catching insects, flying kites......"
