Chapter 3: The First Sight of the Blade
"Drive, drive" I saw two horses, one white and one red, galloping past, and the sound of the horseman shouting had just arrived! "Hahahaha, it's really a peerless good horse, how can such a good horse fall into the hands of two dolls? You go and report to the leader, and go to Liu Zhuang to grab the horse! A big man commanded to his side
"Second Master, how do you know that they are going to Liu Zhuang?" Some people are puzzled
"Hmph, within a radius of dozens of miles, only one of them is a peaceful place, no matter where you go, you have to go to Liuzhuang sooner or later, otherwise you can't get through this place. Let's go, let's go to Liuzhuang to gather" Dahan Yin sneered,
"Yes!" The people around me hurriedly answered! At the same time, I was shocked in my heart, these two leaders are notoriously insidious and cunning, and they are ruthless. It looks like these two teenagers are going to die!
"Haha, big brother Cheng, you lost!" With a burst of laughter, I saw two figures, one red and one white, shooting arrows from a distance. "Haha, it's still Zilong, you are very good at riding, you can still be so stable on a galloping bareback, you are really a natural horseman!" Cheng Feng couldn't help but admire, and at the same time muttered in his heart, "It seems that the cavalry in the Three Kingdoms period really didn't have stirrups, I have to prepare the cavalry in advance, and the good equipment for the future generations must be born in advance."
"Brother Cheng said that he laughed, I just practiced riding and archery for a few more years." Zhao Yun smiled embarrassedly
"Zilong, there is Liu Zhuang in front, let's eat something, take a rest, take a look at the folk customs here, and then hurry" Cheng Feng said with a slight frown, for some reason, Cheng Feng always had a heavy feeling in his heart, and always felt that something big was going to happen!
"Good! Let's go, there's a store in front, let's go eat something" Zhao Yun said excitedly, after all, he was still a child, and he hadn't come out of the excitement of winning Chengfeng.
"Hehe, two little brothers, isn't it easy to eat?" A burst of sneers reached Chengfeng Zhao Yun's ears!
"What the hell, get out!" Cheng Feng shouted, and at the same time gave Zhao Yun a look, and the two quietly stood in their positions.
"I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by here, and leave the money to buy the road!" With the secret words all the way, at the intersection of the road in front, a team of people appeared, Cheng Feng fixed his eyes, there were about twenty people, led by a person dressed as a scholar, but holding a big knife in his hand, which looked a little nondescript and funny. couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, I ran into a short track, I don't know where a few heroes make a living?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, our second master has fallen in love with your horse, and those who know each other hurry up and hand it over, so as not to miss your life!" Without waiting for the scholar to speak, a big man next to him shouted!
"Hehe, two little brothers, I'm only here for the horses, if you hand them over, it will avoid a catastrophe." The first scholar said coldly
"Hmph, if you want a horse, you have to ask me if I agree to the gun in my hand!" Zhao Yun shouted, "You are a grass coward, and you are also a heinous criminal, today I will get rid of you scourges for the people" After speaking, Zhao Yun jumped on the horse with a spear and was about to come forward to fight.
"Huangkou Xiaoer, so rude, since the two of you don't listen to the good words and persuasions, you have to use some means to say that we can't wait" After the scholar finished speaking, one person knocked on the bang three times in a row, and saw hundreds of people emerging from all sides, all of them were big men, some with bows and arrows, some with knives and guns, and surrounded the two of them.
"Hehe, are you afraid of Zilong?" Cheng Feng asked with a smile, after all, Zhao Yun is young, Cheng Feng has just arrived, and the two of them have never seen this kind of formation, although the two of them have a lot of exchanges on weekdays, but they have not experienced real murder! The two couldn't help but be a little nervous!
"Hmph, don't be afraid!" Zhao Yundao, having said that, his slightly trembling hands still showed some timidity.
"Hehe, two little brothers, give you another chance, leave the horses and weapons, I won't embarrass you." The scholar sneered
"Hehe, are you stupid for us? Zilong, today you and my brother are fighting with the thief, if we are still alive, how about becoming brothers with different surnames? Cheng Feng said
"Good! Big brother," Zhao Yun responded
"Which one will come up and send him to death," Cheng Feng shouted.
"Huh! The courage is commendable, so as not to say that we people in Niutoushan bully children, since you want to die, then fulfill you, the third and fourth. You two go! I saw a man in armor say
"Yes, big brother!" With a sound, I saw two big men rushing out from the opposite side, one with a knife and the other with a gun, and went straight to Zhao Yuncheng and the two.
"Up!" Cheng Feng roared, patted the horse with a halberd, and directly met the big man who made the knife, the two horses missed, Cheng Feng took a move straight to the throat, and a move to control the enemy, stabbing the opponent under the horse with one hand, looking back, Zhao Yun also picked the opponent under the horse with a shot. The two of them met each other and couldn't help laughing!
"Humph! It seems that there are two hits. Dahan said, "I will personally slaughter you and avenge my two brothers."
"Big brother doesn't have to be so angry, use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, let's go together!" The scholar hated it!
"Everyone goes up together, whoever kills and injures each other. There are great rewards! The scholar shouted
Zhao Yuncheng glanced at each other, and at the same time rushed forward with his horse, and he invariably wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first! The two of them are fast, their martial arts are strong, the archers of the robbers have not yet reacted, the two have already killed in front of them, they can only watch each other kill, and then they feel a disturbance behind them, and then there is no then, I saw the two of them rushing into each other, the guns and halberds flying, Zhao Yun's guns are fast, and the bandits fell in a line, and five or six people were killed and injured in an instant.
"Kill!" After all, they were bandits, and after a short period of surprise, they were immediately aroused by the ferocity of blood, and they all took knives and went forward to kill. The two relied on the advantage of BMW, rampage, and killed a bloody road, in just a few breaths, the two of them suddenly rushed to the front of the scholars, Cheng Feng suddenly felt his heart jumping, felt that there was great danger, and he was cold, and couldn't help shouting, "Zilong be careful!" At this moment, the scholar and others came out behind a few people, waved out the stone, and gave it to Chengfeng, Chengfeng was hit by the stone in an instant, and couldn't help but yell a few times, at this moment, a few archers came out behind the scholar and others, and shot with a bow, straight to Chengfeng! It's too late, it's fast, Zhao Yun heard Chengfeng's reminder, so he took precautions, and when he saw that everyone was targeting Chengfeng, he couldn't help roaring, and the gun came out like a dragon, between the lightning and flint, he used the gun to pick up all the bows and arrows, and with a wave of the spear, he also flew out the remaining few stones! Cheng Feng got a chance, didn't care about anger and remorse, picked up the halberd, and killed five or six archers! Assault scholar is gone.
The scholar's face changed, he didn't expect this foolproof method to fail, and hurriedly raised his knife to fight, but unfortunately it was not Chengfeng's opponent, and he was pierced through his body by Chengfeng's halberd, and raised it high with one hand! Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to assault, killed three people in a row, and came to Chengfeng's side.
"Don't surrender yet!" Cheng Feng shouted. The bandits looked at the young man in the field, and in the sun, they saw a young man sitting on a war horse, holding a halberd carrying a person with one hand, majestic, and couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know who threw the weapon first, only to hear a ping-pong sound, and fell to his knees. Say "spare your life"!
"Stop!" Zhao Yun shouted, just as everyone surrendered, the big man in armor wanted to sneak away, and with Zhao Yun's voice, he was so frightened that he quickly dismounted and knelt aside.
"Hmph" With a sound of Cheng Feng, his hand shook, and the corpse of the second leader was thrown aside! This made everyone's hearts tremble, what a powerful young man, and at the same time looking at the corpse of the second leader, he couldn't help but hate, "Deal with them, isn't this looking for death." "At the same time, he mourns for his dead accomplices. "You clean up here, bury the body, the big boss, come with us" Cheng Feng said lightly
"Good, good!" The big boss hurried to answer! "This way, please!" The big boss led the way in front while talking, and after a while, he went to a restaurant, and saw that the two of them frowned, and the big boss hurriedly said, "Own industry, haha, own industry, we also make a living from agriculture on weekdays, and opened a few shops to make a living, haha, please, two little heroes, please!" ”
"Hmm!" Cheng Feng nodded in response!
As soon as Chengfeng Zhao Yungang sat down, he saw the big boss kneeling down in front of him and cried, "Two heroes, there are many offenses, please have a lot of two adults, spare my brothers, if the two really want to be angry, I, Wu Tiangang, am willing to fall alone!" ”
"Brother Cheng, this?" Zhao Yun is young after all, how can he have so many thoughts, this will still be reminiscing about the battle just now, hearing what the big boss said, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Feng
"Huh! How? This will know to beg for mercy. Why didn't you think of it when you blocked the road and killed people? I don't know how many innocent people you have killed! Cheng Feng said coldly
"The little hero misunderstood, we are all the children of this Liu Zhuang, and we are all children of good families, just because of the recent disasters and famines everywhere, the great virtuous master sent his disciples to develop believers everywhere, and we are only willing to protect a township here, so we spontaneously organized dozens of young adults to maintain the peace of the township!" The big leader Wu Tiangang hurriedly said
"Hmph, dare to quibble? To maintain the peace of the township, you have the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the officials of the county and county, why do you need to work, besides, how can you do this road blocking and robbery when you maintain peace! Cheng Feng shouted
"Don't be angry, little heroes!" With a quick shout, several old men came from outside
"How many people are?" Cheng Feng got up and asked
"The little old man is Liu Tong, the steward of Liu Zhuang, these are also the elders in the village, we are here to explain this matter to the little hero, and I hope that the little hero will be honorable," said an old man in the middle
"Oh! It's easy to say, a few of you can take a seat," Cheng Feng said with a smile
"I don't know what the two little heroes call them," the old man asked
"I am Chengfeng, this is my second brother Changshan Zhao Zilong, passing by here today, I happened to encounter this incident, and I also asked Liu Lao to explain the reason, and the two of us can have an explanation!" Cheng Feng said
"It's easy to say, it's hard to say this matter for this group of babies, now the Daliang Heavenly Master Sect is developing rapidly, the people are bewitched by it, deceive each other, and bring their husbands and children, raise money and bring food into the church, and do not produce, resulting in barren fields in recent years, most of the people, no food to eat, our Liu Zhuang was originally a fief of a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, but unfortunately the day is not a holiday, leave early, and rely on a few of our old people to take charge of things, Tiangang is a few of our poor children, the family is poor, no money and food to enter the church, so listen to our few organizationsWith their efforts, Liu Zhuang has not much money and food, but it is enough, and recently these stores have been opened, so Liu Zhuang is also a stable place nearby" Liu Tong said with relief
"Oh!" Cheng Feng couldn't help but glance at Wu Tiangang, who was kneeling aside, and asked again, "Then why did they do this strongman again?" ”
"Alas!" Listening to the old man sighed, "The government does not care about the development of the Daliang Virtuous Sect, and even many officers and soldiers are involved in it, they absorb a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, resulting in more and more old and weak women and children at home, plus the harvest has not been good in recent years, and there are more and more displaced people, my Liu Zhuang is considered a pure land under the protection of a few of them, and it is considered rich, so I took in a large number of displaced people, selected some young and middle-aged laborers, patrolled with them, cultivated the fields, and the days were peaceful, but it was a pity!" Half a year ago, a group of people came here, claiming to be disciples of the Great Liang Sage, and they wanted to come to my Liuzhuang to borrow food, saying that it was to help the people."
"Hehe, who doesn't know their purpose, how can they care about the life and death of the people?" An old man next to him said, "They just saw that we had food, and they came to rob things, these robbers."
"Don't talk about this," Liu Tong interrupted, "At that time, we didn't obey, and there was nothing to do, but after two months, they came with hundreds of people, all of them were big men, and they started to kill people without food, alas, we didn't want to cause this trouble, so we went to report to the official, only to find out that these were the officers and soldiers who had joined the gang, and there was no way, so we reached an agreement with them, and asked them to help them raise food, and they couldn't rob us of our things." It dragged on like this for two months, and the leader they came, called Huang Jing, was dressed as a scholar, ruthless, and was said to be the second leader in this area, and he was too vicious in his work, and all the businessmen who passed by, there was no one who was not poisoned, whether it was horses, money and food, even many female babies were robbed, alas, it was simply a common anger of people and gods! ”
"It's so hateful, it's worth killing!" Zhao Yun said hatefully
"So, today we are counting on the elimination of harm for the people?" Cheng Feng said, "However, this still can't convince me, you haven't done anything hurtful?" ”
"Little heroes, don't worry, I also know that it's hard to believe, in fact, every time you rob, Huang Jing brings his own people, Tiangang They are all responsible for the aftermath, every time they rob something, they store it, but they don't know, Tiangang already knows where they hide things, every time they go to steal a part of it, and quietly send it to everyone, so we can continue to recruit homeless people, this time we met the little hero, Tiangang They also just sent a batch of grain and dozens of catties of iron, telling us to prepare for next year's spring ploughing." Liu Tong said
"Now that the matter has come to this, if you want to kill or chop, I am willing to listen to the two of you, I Wu Tiangang swear to the sky, I have never done anything sorry for my father and fellow villagers, even if I snatched the woman, I can also save it, if the two heroes don't believe it, I have nothing to say. But please don't embarrass the others, I'll take care of everything alone! Wu Tiangang said to Cheng Feng and Zhao Yun
"Zilong, what do you think?" Cheng Feng turned his head and said to Zhao Yun
"Brother Cheng, we are just passing by here, besides, we have also killed a lot of robbers, to put it bluntly, whether they lied to us or not, it doesn't have much to do with us, anyway, we will leave immediately, if they lie to us, this place will still be the same as before in the future, if it is not for us to lie to us, kill the people of the Taiping Sect, they will not have a stable life in the future, so there is no need to worry about this matter, I think you should still think about what to do in the future, right?" Zhao Yun said
"This..." The old men on the other side all changed color, "How is this good?" Please save the people of this place! A room of old men hurriedly knelt down in front of the two!
"Everyone, please get up" The two hurriedly responded, and at the same time, Cheng Feng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but blame himself a little, "Alas, just now I promised the Heavenly Master to put the common people in the world first, and in a blink of an eye, I almost hurt the people of the place." Fortunately, there is Zilong's reminder! ”
"Elders, we will consider this matter in the long run, and please sit down!" Chengfeng arched his hand and said, "Rank, my second brother and I passed by here, everyone still calls me Chengfeng, I am not familiar with this place, please tell me about it!" After everyone sat down, Cheng Feng said
"Tiangang, you can tell you about it" Liu Tong said to Wu Tiangang who was kneeling!
"Okay, get up, don't kneel, you have to be more detailed!" Cheng Feng said to Wu Tiangang
"Yes!" Wu Tiangang stood up and said, "My Liu Zhuang is a relatively large place in this vicinity, with a population of about 5,000, no matter which road in this vicinity has to pass through here, it is a traffic point, just in the open territory, so there is a lot of land to cultivate, you can also do business, it is a good place to gather the population, it can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui!" ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Several old men responded with smiles, touching their beards quite smugly
"Hmph, the place is a good place, but unfortunately there is no danger to defend, all roads lead to Liuzhuang, if the people of the Taiping Sect are killed, they don't know which way to defend from them, and besides, there is no city here, there are more old and weak women and children than young adults, only Tianzhu Mountain can be hidden nearby, once the battle is fought, it must be a massacre!" Zhao Yun said heavily
"Yes," Wu Tiangang said, "In addition, the two of you don't know, Huang Jing, who came to rob the two of them this time, is just a second leader, as far as I know, their big leader is strong in martial arts, and he leads dozens of horsemen to pretend to be businessmen all year round, and he goes around to find out where to store food, where to train soldiers, and often kills people and arson, and robs property!" ”
"Oh, it seems that the Taiping Sect's ambitions are not small, isn't this world going to be disrupted again" Liu Tong couldn't help but worry
"Hmph, the local chicken and the dog, if you are vulnerable, even if you make a mess, it will not become a climate, but it will suffer the people of the world!" Zhao Yun said
"Hehe, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, this is the trend of the times, beyond the reach of manpower, now think about what is in front of you!" Cheng Fengdao, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, the time for the heroes to compete is coming, I should have prepared early!
"Then I don't know what to think of becoming a hero!" Liu Tong asked
"I can't talk about high opinions, there are currently three ways to go," Cheng Feng said.
"Which three?" Wu Tiangang asked excitedly
"The first one, just don't move here, build the city from now on, build a good defense, and strive to build Liu Zhuang into a city before the arrival of the Taiping Sect, prepare more rolling wood and thunder stones, and coach the villagers how to protect their hometown, but, hehe, I'm afraid that time is too late, the second one, let the villagers all move into Yuzhu Mountain, stay away from here, I hope to live a stable life!" Cheng Feng Dao
"This, with all due respect," Wu Tiangang said, "these two roads are not advisable, there are mostly old and weak women and children here, no matter what, they encounter the Taiping Sect, it is the fate of being killed, only by staying away from them can they have a chance to live, I don't know what the third way is?" ”
"The third rule is to stay away from them, everyone move, stay away from here, at least no one will recognize you, find another place to settle down!" Cheng Feng said
"Is there no other way?" Several old men couldn't help frowning and said, this is a place where they have lived all their lives. That's it!
"Let's go!" Liu Tong said categorically, everyone was stunned when he said this, "If we don't leave, we will die, we are so old, we will die if we die, so many children, you can't die here with us!" We can't be sorry for our ancestors, oh heaven, talk to the big guys, pack up, and leave tomorrow morning! The old man Liu Tong clapped his hands and said
