Chapter 17: The Realm of Rigidity (3)
Niu San shook his head and said, "I just know the names of these thirteen murderers, and I don't know any more." ”
As he was saying this, a sharp-faced man in front of him seemed to hear the two of them discussing the matter of the Shicheng bandits, and turned his head and said mysteriously: "I know about this." ”
Fang Ling looked up and saw that this sharp-faced man was the person who was watching iron ore with Qiu Yi the day before yesterday, named Wu Zhongyuan.
Niu San suddenly said curiously: "Brother Ang, then you hurry up and talk about it." ”
Wu Zhongyuan touched his chin and said leisurely, "This is also hearsay, but it is estimated that it is not groundless, I heard that the thieves in Shicheng have a connection with Cai Guo, and the finances they have grabbed can be transported to the border between the two countries directly through the canyon, and there are not many border towns on the border? ”
"I see, but isn't it treason to sell these things to enemy countries?" said Niu San with a frown.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled and said: "These people are all wanted by the imperial court, so how can they care if they are treason or not." ”
Fang Ling nodded secretly when he heard this, Wu Zhongyuan's words also made some sense, but they sent the stolen materials to the enemy country, which was indeed too hateful, if this tumor was not removed, I am afraid that it would be difficult to secure peace in the fiefdom.
During the two-day trip, everyone chatted along the way, don't look at the cottages of Niu San and others, but they know a lot about the situation of each village in the Misty Mountains.
Fang Ling didn't deliberately ask anything, but as soon as these people chatted, they couldn't help but talk about the affairs of each village, and all the way down, Fang Ling mastered the situation in Misty Mountain a lot.
For the comfort of everyone riding on horseback, Xi Ling'er obviously had to be wronged a lot, and from time to time she kicked the box angrily, which made Fang Ling hurriedly whisper to comfort her a few times, except for when she wanted to relieve herself, only at night when everyone was asleep and pretended to be a small relief, she could be released to move for a while.
Two days later, in the afternoon, the group finally arrived at Tiger Leaping Cliff.
This Tiger Leaping Cliff is actually a small valley, a waterfall on the valley rushes down from above, gathers into a pool of water below, flows down both sides to the distance, there is a huge stone that lives like a tiger on the cliff, so it is named Tiger Leaping Cliff.
On the edge of the pond, there are two avenues, one to the west and one to the east, connecting the intricate mountain roads, which can lead to the surrounding counties and townships, and can also lead to the mountains in the distance.
Fang Ling stepped off the horse, and just about to say goodbye to everyone, Qiu Yi suddenly stopped his horse, stretched out his hand to stop everyone from advancing, and shouted at the same time: "What person?"
As soon as these words fell, I saw a group of people and horses coming out of the mountain road, and when they saw this group, everyone's faces changed sharply.
The leader was a fat man, not only was he as fat as a ball, but he was also very tall, his head was shaved and smooth, his skin was copper, as if he had been smeared with a layer of oil, and a string of white bones hung around his neck, but the most attractive thing was his weapon, which was a thick white bone with a thick bowl, two meters long.
Beside him, four men with large knives appeared, each with an evil smile on their faces.
