Chapter 16: Seven Beards

"You say...... How much money can we make on this trip? ”

Zhu Dachun was lying between the two strange beasts, covered with a roe deer skin mattress, warm and steady, his spirit recovered a lot, and he was still in the mood to speak.

Zhou Paotou turned around and smiled: "Two strange beasts, to say the least, are worth seventy or eighty taels!" ”

Zhao Lin deliberately asked, "Didn't you say that Xiong Zhen alone can be sold for sixty or seventy taels?" Why didn't you have a few more money? ”

Zhou Paotou said embarrassedly: "This ...... Brother don't be angry, the bear's skin is full of holes, which can be regarded as ruined. ”

"There are too many poisons, and we can't eat bear paws and bear meat, so we can't sell them to harm people with our conscience, right?"

Liang Song teased: "If you co-author, there will be bear bile left." ”

Zhou Paotou laughed twice, and tried to make up for it: "Yu Hao's skin is generally complete, and his fangs and mane can also be sold for money, and the two of them are together, and the money is not old or young." ”

"Not to mention anything else, just these two strange beasts swing into the village, even if it is a few decades later, as long as the names of the four of us are mentioned, who is not allowed to give a thumbs up?"

Zhu Dachun and Liang Song listened and couldn't help nodding yes, this is indeed something to be proud of.

Zhao Lin also smiled: "You are the cannon head, what you said is right." ”

Jokes aside, he is still very satisfied with this harvest, with the silver, not only can he redeem his brother, but he will not have to live a hard life in the future.

There is also the spirit of Xiong Zhen, which can be said to be an unexpected joy, and he can't hunt such a powerful beast by himself no matter what.

The four of them talked and laughed, wading through the rough bark birch forest along the way they came, and the old eagle ridge was already in sight.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the seven horses rushed out of the side of the col on the flying snow.

Immediately, the knights were all dressed in deerskin trousers with fur facing outwards and skins facing inward, cowhide swords on their feet, a saber pinned to their waists, and a spear stuck in a stirrup.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Seeing the dress of these people, Zhao Lin's heart sank, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Damn, you've got a beard!" Zhu Dachun on the raft snorted.

Zhou Paotou had no smile on his face for a long time, and whispered: "Don't talk, I'll take care of them." ”

"Appeal ......"

Seven horses held the reins in unison five zhang away from Zhao Lin and the others, and one of them held a horsewhip in his hand and said condescendingly: "Who is on the other side, report a vine!" ”

The man who spoke was in his forties, with a hooked nose and pointed mouth, three long wisps of beard, a mink hat on his head, a robe over his body, and a different dress than the other six, who appeared to be the leader.

Baoman is a mountain bandit's black language, which means to report to his home, and as soon as this person opens his mouth, he confirms the identity of the bandit.

Zhou Paotou raised his left shoulder with both hands into fists and swung back, and said: "We are nearby hunters, and we have no food to survive the winter, so we go into the mountains to fight fences." ”

Zhao Lin heard from the hunters in the village that when you meet a beard, don't hold your fists, because this action is very similar to the appearance of a flail and a lock, and the beard is the most taboo about this, so you have to follow the posture of Zhou Cannon's head.

"Don't hit the fence before the beginning of spring?"

The bearded leader glanced behind the group and snorted softly.

Zhou Paotou patted the old padded jacket on his body and laughed at himself: "It's not like life can't go on!" Dare to ask which dreadlock the hero is? ”

The bearded leader didn't speak, and rode out of the column on the left, and the rider was a man with a pair of goldfish eyes, and he only heard him raise his voice: "So that you know that the big shopkeeper of my family is a diamond leopard......

Hearing the words "Diamond Mountain Leopard", Liang Song was shocked, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Zhao Lin glanced at him sideways, thinking that the road was really narrow, but he met a beard on the way home.

Goldfish Eye thought that Liang Song was frightened by their name, but he didn't care much, and continued: "This is our Shuntian Liang in front of you, Diao Sixth Master!" ”

In order to take revenge, Liang Song has collected a lot of news about Hu Zi in recent years, and Zhao Lin has also known a little about chatting with him in the past few days.

The beard has a complete set of organizational structure, the big boss is called the big boss, and there are two shopkeepers and three shopkeepers under it, and then there are "four beams and eight pillars".

The four beams refer to the top of the sky beam, the Shuntian beam that manages the grain affairs, the Ying Tianliang who is responsible for the vigilance and the military advisor who supports the sky.

The Eight Pillars are the leaders of the more detailed division of labor such as ticket kidnapping, negotiation, intelligence, and bodyguards.

The bearded leader in front of him is Shun Tianliang, who is called the sixth master in his name, and obviously has a high status among the beards.

"It turned out to be Shuntianliang of the Diamond Mountain Leopard, and I have seen Diao Liuye and all the heroes." Zhou Paotou forced his composure and made a circle.

"What are you doing in the mountains?" Diao Liuye raised his chin and asked.

Zhou Paotou stood side by side with Zhao Lin and Liang Song, just blocking most of the beard's vision, and with the blanket on Zhu Dachun's body, they couldn't see what was on the raft for a while.

"This ......"

Zhou Paotou hesitated.

The goldfish snapped and shouted, "Get out of the way, let's see!" ”

Zhou Paotou had no choice but to give Zhao Lin and Liang Song a look, and said, "There is still a wounded person lying on the raft. ”

Liang Song stiffened his neck and didn't move, and Zhao Lin forcibly pulled him aside.

Goldfish Eye jumped off the horse, ran over in three steps and two steps, and lifted the roe deer blanket.

"This ...... Is this what you guys called? ”

Seeing the two strange beasts on the raft, the bearded people were all stunned, some surprised, some puzzled, and some with a hint of scruple in their eyes.

"Sixth master, the four of them killed Xiong Zhenzi and Yu Hao, and they have good means!"

A tall thin man next to Diao Liuye whispered.

"Fart means!"

Diao Liuye pointed to the corpses of the two strange beasts, and laughed loudly: "You stupid people have taken a closer look, these two strange beasts obviously killed each other, let them pick up the cheap." ”

The bearded men stretched out their heads to see that it was really the case, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, scare me."

"Xiong Zhenzi strangled Yu Hao, and Yu Hao bit Xiong Zhenzi to death...... Hey, that's a stroke of luck! ”

Goldfish Eye complimented: "It's still the sixth master's heart is bright, so I'll let them bluff." ”

Zhao Lin secretly observed, the beard had greed in his eyes, and he obviously had thoughts about the strange beast.

Zhou Paotou also secretly felt bad, took out a piece of silver from his arms, and handed it to the goldfish eye with a smile, "The heroes patrol the mountains hard, this is a little heart." ”

Goldfish didn't reach out to take it, but glanced back at Diao Liuye.

Diao Liuye pursed his lips and sneered, but didn't say a word.

Goldfish eyes turned around and immediately turned his face, "Get out of your mother, send the food away!" He kicked Zhou Cannon in the head.

Zhou Pao covered his stomach and took a breath, still with a smile on his face: "I don't know what the heroes want?" ”

When the bearded men heard this, they looked at each other and laughed.

Goldfish Eye was even more smiling and couldn't straighten his waist, pointing at Zhou Paotou and saying, "Okay, you ugly man, do you really don't understand or are you pretending to be stupid?" To tell you the truth, we have a crush on these two strange beasts! ”

Zhou Paotou's face changed a few times, and he didn't look at the goldfish eyes again, but said to Diao Liuye: "You don't care about the cannons, please raise your noble hand." ”

Diao Liuye's face also sank, "Don't tell me any rules, the brothers don't have meat to eat now, I have to order these two goods!" ”

Zhou Paotou sighed, so he had to retreat and said: "The sixth master really wants it, the little one doesn't dare to refuse, just ask for a little reward for my hard work, so that I don't have to wait for a wasted time." ”

"Hehe, dare to ask me for money?"

Diao Liuye's eyes were full of banter, and he turned his head and asked others: "Brothers, I don't want to give money, and I want goods, what do you say?" ”

"Haha, asking for money from Lao Tzu, I'm afraid I'm going to be blind."

"You don't want to die if you want money, right?"

"No matter how verbose it is, even you have done it together......"

Liang Song's face turned blue with anger, his lips couldn't help shaking, and he was about to have a seizure.

Zhao Lin wanted to persuade him not to be impulsive, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt the anger in his heart rushing upward, and his palm was on the handle of the axe on his waist at some point......

When you have power, you have more courage.

It's just that there is one question that he doesn't know, what kind of strength are these beards?
