Chapter 19 Horses step on the auspicious cloud ridge
Qi San was originally a blacksmith in Suicheng, don't look at the thin people, the farm tools he made are still well-known in Shili Eight Villages. Before the big week came, his wife and children were hot on the kang, and his life was quite rich. The night of the loss of Jincheng, he took his wife and children with a few neighboring families to flee Suicheng, wanted to flee all the way west to the capital, did not want to escape to Chudi, and was robbed by the two masters of Xiangyunling on the mountain, that night Qi San's white and tender mother-in-law let the two masters into the village to the scourge, his mother-in-law is also strong, threw down the two children that night to find a hemp rope and hanged themselves.
Qi San was not very bold when he was small, but he scolded the second master with red eyes, and he never thought that he would get a horsewhip, not to mention that even the older girl almost let the second master carry him into the village, and now every time he thinks of the second master, he is terrified when he looks at his girl's eyes.
Every day before dawn, Qi San was forced to get up and carry water to cook. The same was true today, two large buckets of water pressed on his scarred body, and it had been nearly an hour since he walked from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
If it weren't for his two girls, Qi San really wanted to go with his mother-in-law, and he didn't know when it would be a head.
Today went down the mountain a little earlier than in the past, look at the daylight, the time is still early, Qi San put down the burden on his shoulders, leaned on the cliff and took a breath.
Before he could catch his breath, suddenly a thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded from the foot of the mountain, and the soles of Qi San's feet were numb, and even the water in the wooden barrel was rippled.
Qi's three sides were like ashes, and he subconsciously wanted to pull out his legs, but his two legs still moved half a step.
Seeing the horse team getting closer and closer, Qi San closed his eyes in despair, feeling miserable.
But after a long time, Qi San was nothing different except for hearing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the strong wind blowing in front of him.
When he opened his eyes again, the four or five hundred horsemen had already passed him, carrying the smoke and dust straight up the mountain.
Maybe it was the official army that suppressed the bandits, Qi San had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he couldn't even care about the two buckets, so he picked up the flat shoulder and ran to the mountain.
These five hundred light horsemen were none other than the Sunset Mountain tribes led by Xu Hao and Qin Tian.
After dinner yesterday, Qin Tian and Xu Hao discussed for a long time and decided to start with Xiangyunling, which was angry with people and gods. Xiangyunling is located in the north of Sunset Mountain 80 miles, weekdays rampant in the township, all evil. The big boss Meng Lang is brutal by nature and likes to eat human liver. And the second master cloud ray is a hungry ghost in the color, there is no woman every night, there are countless women who are taken captive up the mountain, no one once dared to marry a daughter-in-law within a hundred miles of Fang Yuan, as long as the wind heard by the cloud ray will definitely go down the mountain to harm. The Xiangyunling led by these two people is also a very powerful bandit in Chudi, with more than 200 bandits and more than 100 horses.
When Qin Tian proposed to fight Xiangyunling, Xu Hao raised his hands in favor of removing this tumor.
Besides, the five hundred light horsemen, which are like the usual horse bandits, shouted to kill the earthquake before they arrived at the gate of the village, as if they were afraid that the bandits of Xiangyunling did not know that they were coming to sneak attack, many of the bandits had not gotten up but were woken up by them, fortunately, the gang of bandits in Xiangyunling was purely a rabble, seeing the five hundred light horsemen rushing over with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, they were already frightened, and what was even more ridiculous was that the two sentries at the gate of the village couldn't even care about calling the police, and they lost the gate of the village and fled for their lives.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are bloodless and take Xiangyunling.
To be honest, Xu Hao was still a little disappointed in his heart. Anyway, you have to symbolically resist.
When Qi San ran to the cottage out of breath, he was dumbfounded.
The usual ferocious bandits are now squatting on the ground at the gate of the village like a group of lambs to the slaughter, most of them are disheveled, and they must have woken up in their sleep and were arrested.
Qi San recognized at a glance Meng Lang and Yun Ray, who were mixed in the crowd and dressed in ordinary short clothes.
While he was in doubt, a young man in a pale green robe walked slowly towards him.
Qi San subconsciously tightened the flat burden in his hand.
The person who came was Xu Hao.
"You are also from Xiangyunling?" Xu Hao is like an uncle who cheats on children's lollipops.
"Isn't it!" Qi San nervously denied again and again.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, are you from Xiangyunling?" Xu Hao asked again.
Qi San saw clearly that the group of people who killed the mountain were by no means officers and soldiers, and he was apprehensive.
"Master, the little one was originally a blacksmith in Suicheng, and a family of four fled here, and was taken captive by the second master, and my mother-in-law was also given by the second master" Qi San whimpered and cried when he said this.
"Master?" Xu Hao smiled helplessly.
At this time, there were a group of people escorted by the Sunset Mountain, including many old and weak women and children.
"Dad!" At this time, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls in the crowd shouted excitedly when they saw Qi San. I wanted to rush over, but I was stopped.
Xu Hao waved his hand and motioned for the two girls to come over.
Qi San threw down the flat burden in his hand and hugged his two daughters in one hand, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried.
This cry made Xu Hao cry uncomfortably. In this troubled world, human life is as cheap as a dog, and there is such a bloody scene everywhere.
The three of them cried for a while, and their emotions slowly calmed down.
Qi San realized something, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Hao, and saw that Xu Hao showed no signs of anger, so his heart settled a little.
"What's your name, do you recognize the two masters of Xiangyunling?" Xu Hao asked in a low voice when he saw that the three of them were calm.
"The villain's name is Qi San, and the two masters of Xiangyunling know each other. ”
Just now, Qin Tian sent a message to ask which two were the leaders of Xiangyunling, but no one admitted it and no one dared to identify it, which shows that the two cowards of Xiangyunling have a lot of power on weekdays.
"You go and find out the two of them, what grievances do you have, I'll help you make the decision today. Xu Hao pointed to the group of Xiangyunling bandits squatting in the field.
Qi San looked at the crowd, just in time to meet Yun Ray's two fierce gazes, and couldn't help but tremble.
Avoiding the cloud ray's gaze, Qi San quietly pointed to the cloud ray with his finger.
Before Xu Hao could make a move, there were changes in the field.
I saw that the cloud ray suddenly stood up, shook his hand and shot a sleeve arrow at Qi San, and shouted at the same time: "Big brother, we fought with them." ”
Another big man in the crowd also broke out, but the soft sword in his waist was only half pulled out before Qin Tian, who was already alert, took off his hand and firmly nailed it to the ground.
It caused a burst of screams from women and children.
Besides, Xu Hao, after practicing the power of the blood moon, his spiritual sense is far from being comparable to others, and the cloud ray's hidden arrow has not yet been thrown out, he is alert, impartial, and his feet are full of force, and the speed is extremely fast towards the sleeve arrow, causing others to exclaim.
When the sleeve arrow reached the door, Xu Hao did not dodge. Luck in the right fist, a punch smashed towards the tip of the arrow, not Xu Haotuo, but after the great cause of digging a hole in the back cliff of Sunset Mountain, Xu Hao is still quite confident in the hardness of his fists.
Sure enough, the sleeve arrow broke in response, and the eyes of the surrounding sunset mountains were full of brilliance and applause.
Looking at the cloud ray again, his face was dejected, and he knew that the person who came was definitely not something he could hope for.
Xu Hao didn't stop after smashing the flying arrow in his sleeve, and his eyes flashed. Rushed to the cloud ray's feet, twisted around, and slammed the side leg into the cloud ray's face.
Suddenly, the head of the cloud ray shattered like a broken watermelon, and the whole person flew out with a handful of blood. It fell far away to the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground.
There was silence in the arena.
"Miscellaneous, you're cheap!" Xu Hao glanced at the cloud ray that was dead and couldn't die anymore.
If the fat man is present, he will have to shout that Brother Xu is mighty.
Originally, Qiu Fatzi was pestering to follow, but Xu Hao didn't agree because he thought he was cumbersome. For this reason, the fat man was depressed for a long time.
"Hehe, it's a little heavier. Sensing the abnormal atmosphere in the field, Xu Hao touched his nose in a daze.
Everyone ignored it.
But the awe of this young master in his heart skyrocketed.
At this time, the Sunset Mountain Gang's raid on Xiangyunling was nearing the end.
Full of gold and silver belongings were piled up in the center of the venue like a small mountain, and everyone who watched was dazzled, and Qin Tian's white face was full of wrinkles with a smile.
"Uncle Qin, what should you do with these people?" Xu Hao walked up to Qin Tian and asked in a low voice.
"Young Master Hao, the more treasures in Xiangyunling, the deeper their sins, don't look at them squatting on the ground now and being pitiful, but none of them have been stained with the blood of innocent people! We let them go now, and in the blink of an eye, they will go to harm the villagers, so I suggest killing them all!" Qin Tian made a gesture of cutting his throat.
After all, Qin Tian is still an iron-blooded soldier in his bones, and he can't see bandits oppressing the good.
Xu Hao nodded, but he really couldn't do anything about killing so many people at once.
"Uncle Qin, you can do it! Those villagers who were taken captive up the mountain are all poor people, you can send them down the mountain with some money. In the future, it will be up to them to create themselves, and we really can't control that much. ”
Qin Tian acted resolutely, dismissed those villagers first, and then issued a killing order, and more than 200 Xiangyunling bandits were killed in an instant. In the end, everyone set a fire and drove away with more than 100 horses from Xiangyunling.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Xu Hao saw Qi San and his two daughters looking up the mountain from time to time as if they were waiting for someone. Seeing Xu Hao and them coming down the mountain, Qi San dragged his two daughters up quickly.
When he saw Xu Haona, he bowed.
Xu Hao shouted to stop the team and dismounted to ask the reason.
It turned out that Qi San was shocked after this catastrophe, and he took his two daughters but no longer dared to move forward, seeing that Xu Hao's group was kind to the villagers, he thought that Xu Hao could take in their father and daughter, so they waited here after going down the mountain.
There is indeed a shortage of miscellaneous servants on the mountain, and besides, Qi San is a blacksmith, which is always useful, Xu Hao agreed to Qi San's request without thinking too much.
Looking at the two handsome little girls, Xu Hao really missed the days when there was Xiaocui's girl serving in Humen.
Xu Hao is evil
