The mountain bandits were very unaccustomed to the arrogant attitude of the comers, and stared at the two horses greedily, and one of them couldn't help but say: "No matter who comes to us, you have to leave something behind when you come to our Wusheling Ridge." You two horses are good, obediently get off the horse and bring it to me! ”

The cloaked man sprang down from his horse, and two short blades flashed out of his sleeves, and flew in front of the open bandit, one slashing a bloody streak on his forehead and the other against his throat.

This sudden attack caught everyone off guard, and the people standing on the ground subconsciously retreated backwards, and the hijacked mountain bandits were even more stunned.

Dai Wang quickly lifted the longbow, wound the bow, and aimed at the cloak man who was suddenly in trouble: "I am Dai Wang, put the knife down!" ”

The round-faced man showed a sinister smile: "I'm Long Bo, and I want to talk to you." ”

"If you have anything to say, talk about it here."

Long Bo glanced at these mountain bandits and shook his head: "I just want to talk to you alone. ”

Dai Wang hesitated for a moment, and then instructed the bandits around him: "You pack up and go back to the cave." ”

The mountain leopard came to his side and whispered hesitantly: "These two people are suspicious, I am afraid that they are arrested by the officials of the imperial court, I think it is better not to believe them." ”

"It's okay, just two people can't hold me, you go into the cave, I want to see what they have to talk to me."

The mountain leopard nodded hesitantly, and immediately commanded these mountain bandits: "Come back to the cave with me." ”

Qiu'e still sat on the edge of the stone platform, as if she hadn't heard their instructions. Dai Wang turned his head and spoke to her: "Qiu'e, you also go back." ”

"No, I'm going to hear what he has to say, too."

Women usually have a strong sixth sense, and she anticipates the purpose of the two men and stubbornly insists on staying outside.

"Go back."

"I don't." She threw down the tanned skin in her hand and looked at Dai Wang resolutely, then at Long Bo and the Cloaked Man with alarm.

Long Bo clasped his hands on his chest and pursed his lips, nodded and smiled: "Since you are a very important person, of course you can stay and listen." ”

Dai Wang put away the longbow and carried it behind him, and walked quickly to the ground from the slope of the stone path out of the cave, and Qiu'e always followed him closely, as if he was afraid of losing him.

Long Bo also jumped off his horse, and when they stood face to face, he realized that the Cloaked Man was a strange woman, with short hair like a nun and a bearded demeanor. Qiu'e was wearing an ordinary long skirt inside, with a half-arm made of deerskin on the outside, she looked at the woman opposite with a cold and fierce look, but she didn't retreat at all, and greeted each other with the same look.

Dai Wang stared at Long Bo and said suspiciously, "Where do I seem to have seen you?" ”

Long Bo crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "If you become one of us, I will tell you who I am." Dai Wang, you are the Shule Town Army, the left brigade and the right team of the third regiment under the original Shule cavalry battalion, and the team is Dai Wang. ”

Dai Wang was suspicious, and his right hand tightly clenched the horizontal knife hanging from his waist: "Even you know this, you must be prepared, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, Dai Wang doesn't mind leaving the two." ”

The cloak woman pressed the short knife to the sleeve of her right arm, and said coldly in the air, "You can try." ”

"Fish intestines." Long Bo stopped the woman and said, "We came to Mr. Dai to discuss business." ”

He paced slowly beside Dai Wang, and said lightly: "Dai Wang, you are a soldier of the Long March for 20 years in the old calendar, who has been fighting for the imperial court in Anxi for 12 years, and you are scarred and your right foot tendon is broken and you can't travel far. This repatriation can live a comfortable life when he returns to his hometown to work as a farmer. But unexpectedly, the big family in the county, Zhang, raped your niece and soaked her in a dung pit, and your brother went to look for it, but was killed in the county prison by Zhang's collusion with the county order, and even the eldest sister-in-law and two young nephews were forced to die in the ancestral house by them. You avenged your brother's whole family, killed the Zhang family and his wife, and killed the Changsong County Order, so that you fell to the point where you are a bandit in the mountains today. ”

The past reappeared vividly as yesterday, Dai Wang's anger accumulated in his chest, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, and said with an indifferent expression:

"You don't have to say any more nonsense, just say your purpose."

Long Bo opened his arms and said loudly, "Do you think you can take revenge by killing the county order and the Zhang family?" Who is responsible for all this? There are some things you probably don't know, Changsong County Commander is not learned and unskilled, where did he buy his officials? That's right, it was the Zhang family who paid for it to go to Chang'an and bought it from some officials in the imperial court. ”

"The imperial court to which you used to be loyal was sold to the Zhang family a county order, so that he could do whatever he wanted. And all this happened right under the nose of the emperor, who indirectly killed your brother and sister-in-law, and he turned you into a bandit! ”

Qiu'e realized the danger in these words, and hurriedly stopped her: "Dai Lang, don't listen to him!" ”

The fish intestine took a step forward, raised the short knife and approached Qiu'e's neck.

Dai Wang said in a deep voice: "Don't touch her! Qiu'e, don't interject! He turned his head to look at Long Bo and said, "You can go on." ”

A bewitching smile appeared on the corner of Long Bo's mouth, and he put the bone in his hand on the ground, and continued to whisper: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, even if you don't want to believe it, it still happened." What can we do? These high-ranking emperors and prime ministers, they treat us as ants and mayflies on the ground! Let it fish and meat, let it be oppressed? I, Long Bo, want to show them that grasshoppers can not only knock down trees! You can also kill the real dragon! ”

Qiu'e's shoulders trembled, and she looked at the two people in front of her in disbelief. Dai Wang's pupils contracted, thinking that this person must be crazy, but Long Bo's face was firm and persistent without jokes, so that he understood this person's madness.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case, but I will not follow you." Dai Wang is not afraid of death, but I don't understand, what can I do if I kill the saint, and soon a new saint will sit up, is there a difference between the old emperor and the new emperor. Will there be fewer grievances in the world? Can millions of people live better? How can this change? ”

"Of course there is a change! As long as we succeed, history will remember this moment, and other emperors will remember it! I want the so-called saints to leave a mark of shame in the history books. A group of people have gathered around me, you are the last one I want to recruit, as long as you nod and agree, we will immediately go to Chang'an to complete our big business. ”

"How? Join us, and your deep hatred can be truly avenged. ”

Qiu'e wanted to stop by speaking, but the fish intestine showed a fierce look and stretched the short knife on her chest again.

Dai Wang shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Dai Wang has a disability and can't go with you." But rest assured, I'm not going to tell anyone about our conversation today. ”

Long Bo spread his hands and smiled sarcastically, "Do you think you can hide from it like this?" You killed the county commander and killed the Zhang family, how could the imperial court let you go as a heinous bandit? Now you can have a chance to breathe, just because of the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, the assassin of Liangzhou, and the governor of Liangzhou have stepped down. They don't dare to use the Chishui Army privately, so you can survive for a few months, and when the imperial court sends a new Jiedu envoy to take office, they will inevitably send troops to Wusheling to arrest you, and then it will be your death. ”

"Being hunted and killed by the imperial court is my Dai Wang's life, and I don't need you Long Bo to worry about it."

"Hahaha, that's right, you don't need me to worry about it, since it's all a death, why can't you die a vigorous death? Why do you want to die aggrievedly under the knife of the executioner of the imperial court, instead of pulling the emperor as a cushion to go to the underworld together, we let the emperor and Li Linfu be buried together! Wouldn't it be a pleasure! ”

At this moment, Dai Wang's heart seemed to be moved, and he was like a dying man waiting to die in the pine forest these days. Since you have lived like this, why can't you just have a happy time?

He turned his head to look at Qiu'e, but Qiu'e closed her eyes tightly and shook her head, as if she was unwilling to let him go down this desperate road.

It's a pity that he has no choice of path, no matter how life goes, it will be a dead end.

Dai Wang nodded approvingly: "I have never been to Chang'an, but this time I must go." “

"Dai Lang!" Qiu'e cried out sadly.

The corners of Long Bo's mouth tugged at the corner of his mouth, he could predict Dai Wang's determination, there was no suspense in this matter itself.

"Okay, you go back and prepare, we are waiting for you here, I can guarantee that this trip will make your life more glorious than ever."

Qiu'e squatted on the ground with her face in her arms, as if she was crying, but she didn't make a sound. Dai Liulang dragged her up from the ground and whispered, "I have saved a sum of money for you, you can start a new life anywhere you want, I'm leaving."
