Chapter 111 News from Mao'er Mountain
"Mao'er Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one way up and down the mountain, and it is difficult to take it by force."
Lord Chen of the county continued, "Five years ago, there was a bandit who occupied the Mao'er Mountain, and from time to time went down the mountain to make trouble, but the official led five hundred soldiers and horses, trapped them for more than a month, and then trapped them to death, and now the seven wolves in Yuzhong have hostages like Master Jia in their hands, and it is difficult to besiege them. . . ”
The boss of the Jia family said anxiously, "Then pay the money, and rescue the father first." ”
The boss of the Jia family looked at Xiang Meng and said, "Xiang Daxia, I don't know if 100,000 taels of silver is okay?" ”
Xiang Meng sighed, but he didn't have any good way.
"The 100,000 taels of silver are fine, and they have been transported back to Jiafu. But the matter in the southeast can't be delayed, and now the Shenwei Thunderbolt Battalion is still waiting for such a silver to pay the military salary, the Shenwei Thunderbolt Battalion has been delaying the military salary for a year and a half, if it is not paid, I am afraid it will be... If there is no divine power thunderbolt camp, this southeast coastal wolf will make chaos again! ”
"Humph! What is the matter of my Jia family like this, and complaining that the old lady of my family is merciful, worried about the country and the people, so I want to solve the matter of the military salary of the southeast Shenwei camp for the imperial court, but who knows that it is a bandit who has been recruited, what a good person has no reward! ”
The boss of the Jia family was very angry.
"Jia Gongzi will dissipate his anger first, and now I am already a fast horse to report this matter to the government, and I think that from time to time, there will be adults from six doors to solve it." Lord Liu, the magistrate, said soothingly.
Master Jia paid 100,000 taels to solve the problem of military salaries in the Southeast Shenwei Thunderbolt Camp, and the saints personally issued commendations.
For the sake of these 100,000 taels, the entire Taizhou Mansion also moved.
But who would have thought that those robbers played a two-handed trick and kidnapped tickets for extortion if they couldn't rob them.
The boss of the Jia family sighed angrily.
"It's the world's first god of the six doors, who catches thunder and thunder, what can I do if Lord Lei comes, my old lady can be in the hands of robbers."
Lord Liu, the prefect, and Lord Chen, the county magistrate, also sighed when they heard it.
If there is no hostage, it is really easy to solve, that is, no matter how high your martial arts are, no matter how many people you have, you can have as many court officials, and then you can take down a burst of fire and spear.
But with the hostages in hand, you can't beat them.
Looking at the two adults who shook their heads, Zhou Wuzhi couldn't hold his breath, and said anxiously, "Brother Rui, let's save it ourselves!" ”
Sharp slapped him on the head.
With his reckless character, how can he save people, even if he can beat the seven wolves in Yuzhong, there are hostages in the hands of others.
Thinking of this, Feng Rui couldn't help but glance at Xiang Meng.
Teach a group of rivers and lakes to be reckless.
For example, at that time, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Alliance killed Scarface's sixth child, and now they can still exchange him for hostages.
Well, even if you can't change Master Jia, at least you can change Zhou Wutong back.
"It's in Mao'er Mountain, but you can't let them run, it's really small... Master Jia's wandering back to Yuzhong is a big problem, and now whether he pays the money or not, he first transferred troops to surround the Mao'er Mountain! Feng Rui suggested.
Feng Rui thought viciously in his heart, if the bandits really dared to kill Zhou Wutong, then he must set fire to the mountain, so that none of the bandits like the seven wolves in Yuzhong would want to go down the mountain alive, and all of them would be buried with Zhou Wutong.
"That's right! What Feng Boy said is very true, this official wants to miss this, he should transfer troops to secretly surround that Mao'er Mountain first, and then say, it will be difficult for them to escape from our Yongjia County. ”
Master Chen got up and walked out, and the four of them followed...
Playing horses all the way, I arrived at the bottom of Mao'er Mountain before dawn.
This Mao'er Mountain is really like a cat's ear, the top is pointy, into a triangular pillar line, one side is a slope, one side is a cliff, that is, the slope is a slope and two slopes, only in the middle of the two slopes there is a path up the mountain, the slope is also very steep, it is dense trees, it is difficult to climb up quietly.
According to Chen, the only way up the mountain was to build two gatecards, and there was a natural cave near the top of the mountain, so that it became a hiding place for bandits.
"Five years ago, this official blocked this road down the mountain, the bandits had no food, and they had to go down the mountain to surrender after being hungry for more than ten days, and now I think about it, as long as the official guards here, it will be difficult for those robbers to fly!"
Master Chen pointed to a mountain road in the distance and said, but in his heart he was glad to be reminded of the sharp edge.
Regardless of whether he can save the hostages or not, as long as he sends troops to defend this mountain pass, he will definitely make the seven wolves in Yuzhong difficult to escape, so he will have no merit and no fault.
Feng Rui still paid attention to Lord Chen's little abacus in his heart, and began to carefully look at the Mao'er Mountain.
There were two stone piles on the path up the mountain, and it was pitch black, and the keycard that was supposed to be made of wood was burned to ashes.
The seven wolves in Yuzhong came in a hurry, and the door card had not yet been rebuilt.
However, there are hostages in the hands of the seven wolves in Yuzhong, even if the road is smooth, they can't be attacked.
Mao'er Mountain is only more than 100 meters high, and you can faintly see that there is a cave on the top of the mountain, and there is a faint figure flickering at the entrance of the cave.
"I think this girl can step on the treetops and sneak to the mouth of the hole. The little female thief said in a low voice in Fengrui's ear.
With the light skills of the little female thief, it is indeed possible to touch the cave.
But so what?
Not to mention that she can't beat the six wolves in Yuzhong alone, even if she alarms them, it will be bad for the hostages.
Feng Rui shook his head with a sigh.
There's really no good way, it seems that you can only pay the ransom.
I hope these bandits will talk about some credit, at least let Zhou Wutong go first.
Half a day passed like this.
The officers and soldiers led by Lord Chen did not dare to attack.
The bandits in the cave did not descend the mountain.
At noon, it was a sudden situation.
A team of people with big bags and small bags came to Mao'er Mountain.
At the head is a one-eyed dragon, also wearing a wolf skin coat, playing with a pair of big iron balls in his hand, it seems that he is also a practitioner, or a short weapon, very spirited to walk in the forefront, behind him are two cowering figures, one with an apron around his waist, looking like a chef.
With a wave of his hand, Lord Chen surrounded him.
The one-eyed dragon was not in a hurry, and released an arrow into the sky, and then looked at Lord Chen with a laugh and said, "Uncle Ben is the second one-eyed wolf in the seven wolves in Yuzhong, and he has already calculated that you people from the government will come to block the way of the uncles, hum!" But Uncle is not afraid to tell you, just bring 100,000 taels of silver quickly, otherwise Master Jia is afraid that he will have something less! ”
Hu Yiguan said that he also crossed his mouth at the mountain.
Lord Chen and the others looked up the mountain, and a big man lifted Master Jia out, and viciously held a knife and gestured at him.
Hu Yitube?
Looking at his face, he can only be nonsense.
But people didn't blow up Hu, the hostages are in hand, what can you do!
Master Chen looked at Master Jia on the mountain, so he could only let them go up the mountain.
With such a big bag and small bag, I don't know how much food I bought, and I can't do it if I want to trap them.
In the evening, smoke rose from the mouth of the cave, and it seemed that the bandits really had no intention of going down the mountain.
Feng Rui and a group of officials shivered from the cold.
On this cold day, Yu was a cat at the foot of the mountain for a day, and he was already strong without being frozen to death.
"It seems that there are masters among the seven wolves in Yuzhong, and we will be besieged and besieged for a short time even on such a cold day."
Lord Chen wiped his nose, he was besieging the bandits at the end of the summer, lukewarm, insectless and rainless, very smooth.
"They have taken the initiative, and they have occupied the right place and time."
Feng Rui dragged a cultural word.
Feng Rui touched his hairless chin, waiting stupidly at the bottom of the mountain is not a way, no choice but to ask the little female thief to go up to explore the intelligence, with the intelligence can analyze the next move.
There are dark clouds in the sky, and it looks like it's going to snow.
Fortunately, the snow last night was not heavy, and it melted before dawn, otherwise it would really affect the next action.
The little thief changed into black, quietly left the crowd, and then flew through the treetops like a butterfly.
In the starless and moonless night, a black figure has quietly touched the entrance of the cave at the top of the mountain.
Inside the cave.
Three large bonfires were blazing.
There are many bandits nesting by the bonfire at the entrance of the cave.
In the innermost bonfire, Master Jia and Zhou Wutong shrank next to each other, and the two bandits with knives next to them took turns watching.
Well, this old and young can't run without tying.
The bonfire in the middle is the largest, and there are six figures sitting around, which is six of the seven wolves in Yuzhong.
"Where did this kid run away, he won't be caught by the official, right?" The bandit who sneaked up said that he was the third oldest among the seven wolves in Yuzhong, and was known as Fan Wuying, a shadowless wolf.
"Probably not, if you are arrested and taken to the government, how can it be so calm, I saw those officials at noon with a depressed face." The second one-eyed wolf Hu said.
"That's it, if you ask such an official on a cloudy day, you will know, if you are really caught, then ask them to hand it over, hum! Now we have Master Jia in hand! "The boss with iron claws called the iron claw wolf Liu Yiyi, such a two-handed method was thought up by him, and he really kept one hand for doing things.
"That's right! I heard that Master Jia is the god of wealth among the three gods of wealth, big brother, why don't we want more? Zhu Youwen, the fourth of the seven wolves in Yuzhong, said that it was Master Jia who was tied up with Li Dahu, the fifth wolf.
Iron-clawed wolf Liu shook his head with one hand.
"This money is just a trivial matter, and the more important thing is to drag the Jia family, don't ask them to send money to the Southeast Shenwei Thunderbolt Camp in time!"
"I wonder why the eldest brother left a three-day covenant with them, it turns out that this is the reason."
The mountain wolf took a sip of broth and immediately smashed it under his feet, and then stared at the other bonfire viciously, "If you want to kill Lao Tzu, you can't do it!" ”
Around the campfire, two cowering figures were making a pot of broth.
Thinking that he was robbed by these bandits, he was terrified, and at this time he couldn't tell the difference between salt and sugar.
"Okay, fifth brother, I'm tying up two cooks on a cloudy day, passing by the small gatehouse the day before yesterday, the restaurant at the entrance of the village has good craftsmanship, and I'll tie him up on a cloudy day, hehehe, the more hostages like this, the safer I am."
The second one-eyed wolf Hu said again, "As long as we don't hand over Master Jia, those officials must be a rat trap, even if they are surrounded by the mountain, what can they do, and now it's such a cold day, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for two days." ”
"Big brother's plan is really shocking, as long as you don't hand over this old man Jia and that official errand, you don't dare to do anything. Now this old man Jia has been commended by the emperor in the Forbidden City for donating money, and he has entered the eyes of the emperor, so these local officials will be more fearful. The third shadowless wolf Fan Wuying said with a smile.
The boss iron-clawed wolf Liu waved his hand with one hand, frowned and said, "This is all under the command of others, and we are just chess pieces." I kidnapped this Jia master today, not to mention, I want to get the money from the southeast and the south, I'm afraid it's the main gang... ”
The second one-eyed wolf also waved his hand, "It's very scary, it's just that if it is done, we will be able to enter the Mobei Tongtian Sword Shrine, whether it is martial arts or divine weapons, there will be everything, maybe in the future, we can participate in the immortal road with the sword master, that is an opportunity that many peerless masters also dream of!" ”
