Chapter 358 Jiaolong Po at the foot of Markham Mountain

This Mu Lingwo set ridge is more than 400 miles long, more than 100 miles wide, the peaks and peaks are stacked, reckless and blue.

A canyon trail in Yuzhong, which just runs from east to west, is the Flagpole Ridge Racecourse to the west, and the east exit is on the bank of the Mudan River.

The road was so narrow that it could only accommodate two or three people at most, and the ground was so rough that it was very difficult for the horses to stumble and walk.

Everyone simply led the horse, holding the torch and walking, just like a small one-word long snake array, the snake head is the "two-headed snake" Xie Zhen, and the snake tail is the "two-tailed scorpion" Xie Bao.

At this time, it was the end of May, and everyone was wearing the leather clothes bought by Wulu, although it was in the dense forest late at night, they did not feel cold, but they hated mosquitoes and disturbed people, and they were led by the firelight, looking at the heads of people and only caring about the fluttering.

Fortunately, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao have a lot of experience, although his house is very different from the plants here, he still found some useful herbs, smashed them together, and applied them to the people and horses, so as to avoid mosquito attacks.

This night, everyone kept under their feet, and walked straight for fifty or sixty miles of mountain roads, Zhou Tong felt sorry for Wulu, and let her ride on the horse early to take a nap, and his own family took care of it, but fortunately there were many horses, and they took turns to carry her for a few miles, but it did not damage the horsepower.

When the morning dawned, everyone was walking, only to feel that there was a gap in front of them, and they saw a plain, surrounded by a group of peaks, and its scale was much larger than that of the Flagpole Mountain Horse Farm.

As far as the eye can see, the ground is full of green grass, in the center is a bright spring, hundreds of acres of fertile land have been reclaimed in all directions, there is a small village not far away, with the big wood as the wall, the bark as the top, one hundred and ten houses have been built, a group of forgetful atmosphere, but it seems to break into the peach blossom source in general.

Wu Lu rubbed his eyes and woke up, looked around, and cheered: "It's the tribe in the mountains, and go and ask them for a bowl of hot water to drink." ”

Everyone led the horses and walked away slowly, and the strong women and old women of the village were all fetching water by the spring, and when they saw everyone coming, they got up in a panic and looked frightened.

Wulu jumped off the horse, took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, we are passers-by, and we want to ask you for a bowl of hot water to drink." ”

Those people retreated one after another, but no one answered, and their bodies trembled, as if they were terrified.

Xie Zhen was puzzled: "It's strange, why are you so cowardly? ”

Meng Kang looked down at his own clothes, touched his head, and wondered: "Could it be that we are wearing Jurchen clothes and Han hairstyles, so they are suspicious?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "No, there are no Han'er in the north, they are so afraid of people, I am afraid that there are some bandits and bullies around here." ”

At this time, Shi Qian pulled Lao Cao's sleeve and signaled with his eyes, Cao Cao followed his line of sight, and saw that there was an eight or nine-year-old child behind the crowd, who was sneaking back to the village, so he waved his hand, so that Shi Qian did not have to say anything.

After a while, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and three old men who could not see their age came riding three old horses with miscellaneous hairs.

The three old men were no better, for one in the center was holding a short spear in his right hand, while his left arm was elbow-length, and the other two were holding bows and arrows.

The three old men galloped to the women and children to block them, and hurriedly looked at the crowd, and the one in the center spoke a word.

They seemed to be speaking Jurchen language, but it was extremely difficult to understand, Cao Cao and the others frowned in unison - everyone was no longer in trouble communicating with the Jurchens at this time, but this old man's words could only understand two or three percent.

Fortunately, there was also a real Jurchen Wanyan Wulu, and she could finally understand the other party's words, so she immediately translated on her behalf: "They asked us who we were and why we came here?" Then he turned to the old men and said, "We are passing guests, and we want to ...... with you Buy some hot water to drink. ”

She wanted to beg for it, but when she saw that these people were dressed in rags and shabby, she couldn't help feeling pity, and changed her words to buy them, wanting to take the opportunity to give him some money.

The old man in the center looked everyone up and down, his expression gradually eased, and he turned back and said a few words to the women and children, and after hearing this, the women and children all breathed a sigh of relief, no longer panicked, and went back to the village one after another.

Wulu frowned and said, "This old man said that we are not from the Fish Scale Army, he asked people to go back and boil some hot water and get some food." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It's some good people." Ask them who the Scales are. ”

Wu Lu asked, those old men looked angry, babbling and saying again, the three of you and I said one sentence at a time, dancing with their hands, looking very excited, the more Wu Lu listened, the more embarrassed his face became.

Zhou Tong said angrily: "What did they say? Don't you dare to be rude to you? ”

Wu Lu shook her head, bit her lip, looked a little sad, and whispered, "These people ...... Originally, they were all my Jurchen soldiers, but because they were old and seriously wounded, they could no longer go to the battlefield, so my father gave them this land and let them live here with their people......"

Cao Cao looked around, nodded and said: "This place is not small, and the surrounding products are abundant, if you are more diligent, open more fields, plus hunting, fishing, and picking some medicines and fruits, more than 1,000 people can also have enough food and clothing." ”

Wu Lu shook his head and said: "They originally had a total of fourteen veterans, and there were only more than 100 people with their families, and everyone farmed, fished and hunted, and their lives were enough...... But my father ...... The year before last, he gave a Markham Mountain not far away, along with hundreds of miles of nearby land, to the Palace of Our Lady. The Fish Scale Army was a subordinate of the Notre Dame Palace, and they often came to extort money, and every year they robbed most of the harvest of their farming, and they would kill people if they did not obey, and many of their old brothers died at the hands of these people. The women were afraid that we were the ones who thought we were the Fish Scale Army. ”

Zhou Tongqi said: "What is the Palace of Our Lady?" Is this where your mother lives? ”

Wulu glanced at him, shook his head and said, "My queen mother naturally lives with my father!" I know that the Holy Mother of Wuling is the most powerful shaman in the Jurchens, who has lived for seven or eight hundred years, has boundless power, and is married to a dragon - I originally only knew that the Palace of Our Lady was in Markham Mountain, but I didn't expect that the mountain was here. ”

The brothers looked at each other when they heard this, and Fan Rui suddenly sneered: "Seven or eight hundred years? What a big breath! The magic power of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain was shocking, and he did not live for hundreds of years. Hehe, the Jurchen tribe has not been civilized for a long time, and she is just a leftist who knows some wild fox Zen, boasting about herself, and coaxing those ignorant people to worship her. If you meet Fan, I want him to know how powerful my Central Plains monk is! ”

Thinking of Fan Rui's ability, everyone was wary and smiled: "In this way, it is good to meet this mother-in-law, you can see the methods of Brother Fan, and secondly, you can also eliminate harm for the local people." ”

At this time, the women and children came back again, holding clay pots and clay pots in their hands, and the hot water in the pots was the hot water of what kind of fruit, and the pans were cakes made of unknown materials, which looked rough but steaming.

After a night of walking, even though they have dry food, how can cold food be compared with hot food? I couldn't help but reach out to pick it up.

Cao Cao was vigilant, and said lightly: "Half of the brothers eat first, eat slowly, and after half an hour, the other half of the brothers will not be too late to eat." ”

He spoke Chinese, and those Jurchen mountain people even spoke Jurchen strangely, so naturally they couldn't understand what he meant.

Wu Lu glanced at Cao Cao and thought secretly: This martial brother is so cautious, just like my father. ”

After everyone finished eating, rested for an hour or two, and felt that most of the energy had recovered, Xu Guanzhong flipped through the map and said: "There are still thirty or forty miles, you can go out of the mountain, I will wait and walk out in one breath, find a larger boat down the Namudan River, and spend the night on the boat, which is safe." ”

Cao Cao nodded and smiled: "Guan Zhong thought carefully, that's how he acted." ”

After that, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed them to the old man with a broken arm.

The old man shook his head repeatedly, pointed to the arrows on his horse's back, and muttered something to himself.

Cao Cao looked at Wu Lu, and Wu Lu said: "He said that he asked for money but it was useless, and asked if you could give him a pot of arrows, he has lived enough, and he wants to avenge his old brother before he dies." ”

Cao Cao looked at the three crippled old men with some surprise, and frowned: "They are meritorious ministers, they have shed blood for your father, but they were bullied by the Laoshizi Fish Scale Army to such a field, why don't you go to the official mansion to report it?" ”

Wu Lu frowned, and the three old men muttered, his face turned red, and said to Cao Cao: "That Wuling Holy Mother promised my father that in ten years, I would help him train three thousand fish scale army, not afraid of guns and knives, nor afraid of flooding and fire, my father was greedy for her army, so it was useless to denounce itβ€”how could I, my father, be like this!" ”

Cao Cao shook his head secretly, thinking to himself that with three thousand invincible divisions and a few useless veterans, the former was naturally more important than the former for such a hero. This little princess is pampered, how can she understand his father's belly?

He didn't want to say it thoroughly, so he only asked: "Strange, since you are not afraid of guns and knives, you must be wearing some kind of treasure armor, what is the use of this Jurchen old man asking for arrows?" ”

Wulu asked again and said: "The armor of the Fish Scale Army is not easy to refine, and now there are only a few hundred pairs. ”

Cao Cao sighed, took two pots of arrows, and gave them to the three old men. The three old men suddenly became excited and thanked Cao Cao again and again.

Cao Cao waved his hand, but said to Xu Guanzhong: "After I go home, Guan Zhong remembers to remind my brother that when I make someone check it carefully, the brothers who have always fought for us and left with injuries are now suffering." ”

Xu Guanzhong was immediately overjoyed: "This is what the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness should do!" Brother, don't worry, I called Brother Jiasui for this matter, and the two of us will handle it personally. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "What Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness?" It's just a duty. Let's go, I'll have to hurry. ”

Everyone was about to leave, suddenly heard the noise of people, looked forward, but it was more than 100 sturdy men walking here, all with arrogant expressions, looking at their clothes, but they were Jurchens, Bohai people, and Han people.

The faces of the three old men changed, and they hurriedly climbed on their horses, pointing at those people and shouting at them.

Wu Lu hurriedly said: "Those people are the Fish Scale Army!" The old men said that the grain had been eaten up, and that the things in the field had not yet grown, so let them leave. ”

The men laughed, and one of them said loudly: "Old thing, I wanted to have fun with you, but who knew that you were lucky, so many outsiders came, these people's horses are not bad, they must have been stolen from the Flagpole Ridge Racecourse, right?" Hahaha, grandpa got these horses, let your village go today, and help bury people in a while. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Guan Zhong, can you hear me?" These guys are like gods. He knew that these people were casually planting false accusations and doing bad things, but he didn't expect to beat them upright, although they were not stealing, but they were not far off.

Xu Guanzhong also smiled and said: "It's not like a god, otherwise I should know that their lives will be cut off here today." ”

Both of them are resourceful, and as soon as they see the rampant and domineering momentum of these people, they know that it is difficult to be good, and they all have murderous intentions.

Cao Cao said to Wu Lu: "Let's tell these old men that I will help them avenge their revenge today, they have so many women and children to take care of, so let's keep their lives and live for a few more years." ”

Wu Lu was stunned for a moment, and told the three old men according to his words, and the three old men were stunned and looked at Cao Cao and the others in disbelief.

Lao Cao was too lazy to say more to the old men, so he shouted: "Brothers, I ate other people's food, and I killed all this miscellaneous to pay for cooking!" Don't leave a single mouth alive, just kill and walk! ”

These heroes were originally injustice-loving, listening to Wu Lu relay the grievances of several Jurchen old men, their hearts were already angry, and when they heard Cao Cao's order, they cheered in unison, flew on their horses one by one, each drew their blades, and went straight to those fish scale armies to kill.

It's a pity that these fish scale soldiers are all infantry, and they didn't come out to fight, they never wore armor, and their long weapons only had more than ten hunting forks, and the rest were short knives, although there were more than a hundred people, how could they stop such a big insect?

I saw that Aliqi rushed in immediately, and with a shake of the pear blossom point steel gun in his hand, he had already poked seven or eight people; Sun An followed, and the two swords turned away, like a meat grinder; Shi Qian stood on his horse and beat the slingshot indiscriminately, and he didn't know how many eyeballs were shattered; Zhou Tong is the best at this kind of battle, and his mouth is constantly shouting, and a halberd makes the murderous spirit.

There are also Xu Guanzhong, Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, and Li Jun, each of whom guards one side on horseback, and anyone who escapes will either cut him with a gun or bayonet, or bend a bow and shoot arrows, and kill him one by one.

But a stick of incense, the more than 100 people were all killed, only one escaped the fastest, desperately running back and forth, Luan Tingyu rode a jujube red horse, rolled away like a ball of fire, waved a gun and stabbed at the vest, that person was also clever, a lazy donkey rolled on the spot to avoid, heart-rending roared: "Who are you!" Our Lady of Urin will not let you go! ”

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he shouted: "Tingyu, capture him and come back!" ”

Luan Tingyu stabbed out two shots, broke the man's legs and feet, hid in a stirrup, pulled the guy's vest and lifted it, Pegasus galloped back, and threw it to the ground.

Cao Cao said coldly: "Death? Survival? ”

When the man heard this, he immediately cried and said, "Ask for life, Lao Tzu wants to live!" ”

Cao Cao said: "If you want to survive and answer me truthfully, how many people are there in your Fish Scale Army?" ”

The man cried, "There are four hundred and seventy-seven men, all of whom are chosen from among the tribes. ”

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "How can a good man deceive a miserable person? What is your invulnerable armor? ”

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know how to make it, but it is light and thin, and when I wear it on my body, I can't burn it in the fire, I can't sink in the water, and I can't get in with a knife or a gun." ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said, "That Wuling Holy Mother, what powerful people are under him?" ”

The man shook his head and said: "The old man of the Holy Mother is the most powerful, not only has the magic power to the sky, but also has excellent martial arts, and can also call her Dragon King and Husband to help, in addition, they are all fish scale troops such as us, and then there are palace attendants...... Oh yes! Our Lady also had a young apprentice called Ha Micha. ”

Cao Cao asked again carefully, and learned that the Markham Mountain, where the Holy Mother Palace is located, is more than ten miles ahead, and on the way he must pass, the Holy Mother Palace is built at the foot of the mountain, and there is a Thousand Flowers Cave on the top of the mountain, which is the place where the husband of the Holy Mother of Wuling "Dragon King" cultivates, but the appearance of the Dragon King is rarely seen.

After careful interrogation, Cao Cao said: "You answered all the questions, although I don't know the truth from the false, it is not easy to kill you, so I have to let you go." He turned back to the three Jurchen old men and said, "I have released this person, if you want to dispose of it, please take care of it." ”

The three old men suddenly showed a simple and hideous smile, each drew a short knife, dismounted and pounced on the man.

Poor guy was stabbed by Luan Tingyu and had no blade, where could he stop the three old men full of hatred, and suddenly let out bursts of screams.

Cao Cao didn't hear it, and summoned a group of brothers and said: "Unexpectedly, the palace of Our Lady of Naraush is just in the way of us. Looking at this dry person's behavior, domineering tight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to wait for a good life, then the killing will rise, these fish scale army still has more than 300 people, if you don't wear armor, it is naturally not worth mentioning, if you are wearing armor, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with, I might as well discuss a countermeasure in advance. ”

Xu Guanzhong frowned and said: "Brother, in addition to these fish scale troops, we should also take into account the ability of the Holy Mother of Wuling's own family, if she shows off her magic and has her own Brother Fan to deal with, if she recruits the Dragon King, what should she do?" ”

Cao Cao sneered: "The dragon may live in the deep sea, or live in the river!" Is a mere cave a place where dragons are hidden? If my guess is right, the so-called dragon king and Jiaolong are just nonsense, most of them are the mother-in-law who pretends to be a god and a ghost, and a big snake raised by his own family. ”

When Xie Zhen and Xie Bao heard this, his spirit was suddenly shocked, and he stepped forward and said: "Brother, if it is really a dragon, Jiao, my brother does not dare to say that he can deal with it, but if it is just a long worm, it is not my brother who boasts, with it, my brothers and I will work together, and I will not take off its skin to make boots for my brothers, and I am not worthy of being the leader of the Dengzhou hunters!" ”

Cao Cao said happily: "If your brother can deal with this guy, he has a small plan for his brother, and I would like to consult with my brothers - I might as well do this, this and this, and then this and ......."

The more the brothers listened, the more happy they became, and they couldn't help nodding their heads again and again.

Xu Guanzhong also said: "If you can do this and so, most of them will be able to do it, not only will they pass safely, but they will also be able to get hundreds of good armors!" ”

There are sub-teachings: the Palace of Our Lady at the foot of Markham Mountain, and the Wuling shaman makes magical powers. The supernatural power is invincible for days, and a hero can slay a dragon.
