147. Counting in the count
Foggy Mountains,
Sanshanzhai,
In front of the huge gate, a group of mountain bandits are patrolling.
In the distance, there was the sound of footsteps.
Everyone was immediately startled and subconsciously became vigilant.
"Who!?"
"Stop!"
A bandit leader condescended and snorted coldly.
Shen Du and the three walked out of the forest, and Xu Chong said coldly: "We are here to do business!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
However, they also saw that these three people didn't seem to be easy to mess with, so they didn't make a rash move.
The bandit leader glanced at the three of them and said in a loud voice: "Wait! ”
After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left, and soon ran into the cottage.
A group of mountain bandits stared at Shen Du and the three of them vigilantly.
After a while, two figures came out of the cottage, one of them was the previous bandit leader, and the other beside him was a middle-aged man in a white robe, who looked to be in his forties, holding an iron fan in his hand.
The person who came is the three masters of these three cottages, "Iron Feather Fan" Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei secretly looked at the eyes of the three people, stayed on Shen Du for a moment, his heart tightened, and he arched his hand: "Our village master is invited!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned to the bandits around him to open the gate of the wall.
Shen Du and the three of them followed into the village.
Shen Du casually glanced at the layout around him.
This bandit cottage looks simple, but the surrounding buildings are well arranged, and there are even traps, and the strength of these bandits is not weak.
It is worthy of being the top three bandit villages in this foggy mountain.
The three of them entered the Juyi Hall in the center of the cottage.
In the spacious hall, there are eight chairs, and at the top is a yellow flower wood Taishi chair covered with white tiger skin.
On the Taishi's chair, there was a burly man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, more than two meters tall, with a face full of anger, and a giant axe with cold light in his hand.
And beside him sat two petite beauties.
When Shen Du and the three of them came in, the figure on the chair was munching on a leg of mutton.
Several people in the hall raised their eyes in unison, their eyes playful.
Zhang Wei took the initiative to explain: "This is our big boss!" ”
He Sanshan glanced up at Shen Du and the others, and said coldly: "Say it, what business!" ”
"It's been so long, and it's the first time someone has boarded our three cottages to do business."
Shen Du smiled and said, "Rob and kill a few people." ”
"Oh?" He Sanshan put down the leg of mutton, stroked the beauty beside him with his big hand, and sneered: "It seems that it is not simple, right?" ”
"I don't think the three of you look like ordinary people, let us rob and kill, this identity should not be simple."
Among the three, it was obvious that the one in charge was the one in charge, but it was this person who made him faintly unable to see through.
Shen Du chuckled: "About two days later, there will be a team of people from the capital of Yan Kingdom under this foggy mountain, and the Great Master He only needs to leave them." ”
The smile on He Sanshan's face gradually disappeared, and a fierce aura came to his face.
"Friend, this is no small matter."
Although they are engaged in the business of robbing houses, this business is not easy to do.
Yan State officials, needless to say, there will be no fewer guards around them, and these guards are all hard stubble.
Shen Du didn't say much, just stretched out his hand to Qi Shengjiang on the side.
Qi Shengjiang immediately unwrapped the package on his back and handed it to Shen Du.
Shen Du took the package and then threw it to He Sanshan.
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
The surrounding people immediately shouted, and some even picked up weapons.
Shen Du said lightly: "Two Zhen School martial arts, five first-class martial arts, plus 100,000 taels, I don't know what the price is?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the previous few people suddenly looked shocked, and a trace of obvious greed flashed in their eyes.
He Sanshan looked at the package on the ground, and a playful smile appeared on his face: "Your Excellency is generous." ”
"Is this a vendetta against those people?"
One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, and as for the martial arts of the town faction martial arts, it is even less.
For these people, these martial arts secrets are more important than silver.
100,000 taels can't buy a town school, and having money doesn't mean that others will sell it.
A hint of intent flashed in He Sanshan's eyes.
But......
He Sanshan sat back again, looked at Shen Du with a playful look in his eyes, and said quietly: "Your Excellency, you should also know that this matter is not so easy to handle, this is a big crime of losing your head." ”
"At this price, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"
Xu Chong frowned, this is slaughtering them as fat sheep?
Xu Chong was about to speak, but Shen Du raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's better to say a number if you are in charge of Heda, right?" ”
"Haha!"
He Sanshan laughed loudly and said loudly: "Since my friend is a cheerful person, then He doesn't want much." ”
"Add another 200,000 taels, plus one town school martial arts, five first-class martial arts, what is the price?"
"Not too much, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Du nodded calmly and said, "200,000 taels can be given to you now, but the martial arts you want will be exchanged for the head of the imperial history after the matter is completed." ”
He Sanshan thought for a while, nodded and agreed.
"Good!"
"Deal!"
Shen Du arched his hand and smiled: "Happy cooperation!" ”
"Then I'll take my leave first."
He Sanshan said with a smile: "Third child, send these friends." ”
Zhang Wei got up and stepped down, stretched out his hand and signaled, "Three, please come with me." ”
Seeing Shen Du and the three of them leave, He Sanshan immediately set his eyes on the package and ordered the bandit minions on the side to bring it up.
Looking at the contents of the package, He Sanshan smiled with satisfaction.
"Windfall!"
"Big brother, do you really want to do this business?"
"If you move them, you will attract people from the court afterwards......"
The next person in the hall hesitated.
They have been safe and sound all these years, and it is also because they rarely move those big forces and people in the court.
He Sanshan sneered: "What are you afraid of, kill someone, let's hide in the mountains, this foggy mountain is so big, they can't find it all the time." ”
The duck in his mouth, how could he give up so easily!
Not to mention that it is just an official, even if the third-grade officials of the imperial court come, he will cut it down.
The crowd didn't say much more, because the benefits were really big enough for them to take the risk.
As for the pursuit of the Dayan Imperial Court, they are all a group of outlaws who pin their heads to their belts to beg for a living, and with today and no tomorrow, they still pay more attention to the immediate interests.
……
Leaving the three cottages, the three of them walked towards the bottom of the mountain, Xu Chong hesitated: "My lord, deal with those guys, we will be enough." ”
"Why bother looking for these bandits in the Foggy Mountains, spending a sum of money in vain."
Shen Du smiled softly and said lightly: "If you are doing a show, you naturally have to do a full set." ”
"Since he died at the hands of mountain bandits, he naturally has to look like he died at the hands of mountain bandits."
Shen Du looked at Qi Shengjiang and asked, "What happened to the people who tracked down the remnants of the Changyou family?" ”
Qi Shengjiang said respectfully: "I am already sending people to keep an eye on it, the rumor has been released, presumably they will soon go to Taizhou to meet this imperial historian." ”
Xu Chong's face was full of surprise, and he was surprised: "Since you have discovered the remnants of the two families, why don't you just capture them?" ”
Qi Shengjiang glanced at Xu Chong and shook his head strangely.
With this brain, it is estimated that it is difficult to explain clearly.
Xu Chong glared at Qi Shengjiang with a disgruntled face, he has a great brain?
However, he also knew that he was far inferior to a few of them in terms of conspiracy and trickery, so he was very interested in not asking more.
Shen Du smiled softly, turned over and rode on the red dragon horse, and said calmly: "The flying pigeon sent a message, notify the chief rudder, and find a way to pass the news to Yuan Su." ”
With the strength of the remnants of the Chang You family, it is simply wishful thinking to seek revenge on themselves, and they themselves know this very well.
If they want revenge, they can only look for foreign aid, and this official from the capital is their only hope.
Now Taizhou is full of people from the Six Gates, and even if they want to find Yushi, they have no chance, so after learning about this, they will inevitably wait on the road that the two states must pass.
He deliberately put the news out in order to lure them there.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to lure Yuan Su out of Taizhou City.
……
Taizhou, six doors rudder.
Yuan Su sat in the room, drinking sullen wine alone, his face gloomy.
What happened in Taizhou recently was completely unexpected for him.
"Shen Du!!"
Yuan Su gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, slapping his palm on the table, his eyes were red, full of killing intent.
When did he suffer such humiliation!
I want him to be a general arrester, an inspector in the capital, but he is so aggrieved.
"I'm going to make you die a bad death!"
Yuan Su took the wine glass and drank it all, and was about to continue pouring the wine, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and a henchman walked in with an anxious look.
"My lord, something happened."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Su looked at him coldly, his eyes like a hungry wolf.
The person who came was startled and said in a low voice: "Big ...... People, just got the news that the remnants of the Changyou family are preparing to attack and kill the imperial history from the capital. ”
"Huh?" Yuan Su frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "How did they get the news?" ”
"What are they doing attacking and killing Yushi?"
The visitor shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, but it's ...... Now it is rumored outside that it is your order to destroy the Chang family and the You family. ”
"You cooperated with them in the past to lure them to take the initiative so that we could gather evidence of their rebellion."
"What!?"
Yuan Su's face changed suddenly, and the anger in his heart instantly appeared.
He knew very well that he had never done such a thing.
"Not good!"
Yuan Su's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is definitely done by that Shen Du. ”
"He deliberately released the news, which made the people of Chang You's two families resentful, thinking that I did it, and he clearly wanted to set up the blame!"
If Yushi is really dead, then he will inevitably be held responsible, and even those people may attack and kill Yushi in his name.
No matter what the truth of this matter is, he will not be able to get rid of it at that time.
"Maniac!"
Yuan Su scolded angrily and said in a deep voice: "Gather everyone and go with me." ”
That guy must be trying to attack and kill the imperial history of the capital.
If it was before, he might not have believed it, but what happened during this period of time made him deeply realize that Shen Du was a complete madman.
He must meet Yushi before those people, otherwise once Yushi in Beijing dies, the case of Taizhou's assassination death will no longer be investigated.
Yuan Su led a group of henchmen and hurriedly rode out of the city.
Not long after Yuan Su left, Liang Ying quickly came to the backyard and released a carrier pigeon.
……
Taizhou,
On the official road, Gao Shixing and his party from the capital were slowly moving forward.
Along the way, the dragoon forbidden army opened the way, which greatly satisfied Gao Shixing's vanity.
In the capital of Yan Kingdom, he, the imperial history of the imperial history platform, has to bow his head when he sees anyone, and when he walks on the road, any one of them is a high-ranking official above the fourth grade, or he is a relative of the emperor, but since he left Beijing, he has passed by various state capitals along the way, and those thorn histories have been grandly received.
Of course, he didn't get any less benefits along the way.
Although his target this time is Taizhou, as the imperial history, he already has the responsibility of hearing the wind and doing things, as long as he returns to Beijing to participate in a book, it will inevitably affect the merits of these assassins.
No one wants a stain on their resume.
Gao Shixing lifted the curtain, looked outside, and frowned: "How long will it take to get to Taizhou?" ”
He stopped and stopped along the way, and socialized many times, which was delayed for too long.
A guard dressed as a Jianghu person next to him immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Hui, there are about three hours to enter Taizhou." ”
Gao Shixing looked up at the dim sky and asked, "Is there a post station near here?" ”
He didn't want to travel in the middle of the night.
The guard was about to reply, when a sharp sound broke through the air in the dense forest ahead.
A steel arrow shot out of the forest, piercing the eyebrows of one of the guards, splattering blood, and falling from his horse.
Gao Shixing's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly hid back in the carriage.
The next moment, dense arrows shot out of the forest, almost forming a rain of arrows.
Although the power of these arrows is average, far from being comparable to the special crossbow arrows of the six doors, under such a dense attack, the power is still huge.
"Not good!"
"Alert!"
The face of the leader of the dragoon forbidden army in front of him changed drastically, and he drew his sword and swung the arrows that came at him.
"Dingding!"
Although the crowd reacted promptly, many people were shot off their horses.
All the dragoon forbidden soldiers instantly became vigilant, holding weapons and showing a posture of vigilance.
"Haha!"
"There are no more post stations, but there are a few pits buried in you."
The rough voice echoed throughout the mountains and forests like a bell.
As the words fell, the sonorous sound of the blades coming out of the sheath in the dense forest came, and dense bandits appeared from the mountains and forests.
He Sanshan dragged a huge battle axe and rode a tall horse out of the forest, exuding a strong evil aura all over his body.
The leader of the Dragoon Forbidden Army shouted angrily: "Bold, we are court officials, you dare to rob and kill court officials?!" ”
"Do you know that this is a great sin for the Nine Clans!"
He Sanshan glanced at everyone, then plucked out his ears and sneered: "It's you dog officials who killed." ”
Zhu Jiu Clan?
They don't have any nine clans.
The three cottages can be entrenched in this foggy mountain for so long, and naturally they will not be simple ordinary bandits.
Although they were facing the Dragoon Forbidden Army, they didn't have much fear.
What's more, there are only 100 dragoons in this place, and they have thousands of men and horses, and they really have an advantage.
"Kill them, brethren!"
He Sanshan wielded a giant axe, pulled the reins, and led a group of people to rush forward quickly.
In an instant, the two sides met together and fought fiercely.
The number of bandits under He Sanshan is quite a lot, but the combat effectiveness of these more than 100 dragoons forbidden army is also extremely strong, if it is not for He Sanshan himself, the losses will be heavy.
Several guards came to Gao Shixing's carriage and said urgently: "Master Gao, I will escort you out first." ”
"Good!"
"Quick, let's go!"
After all, Gao Shixing is a civil official who has lived in the capital for a long time, and when he has seen such a bloody scene, he has long been frightened.
Now I heard what the guards said, and I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
A group of people escorted Gao Shixing's carriage and began to break through, but they were quickly stopped in the face of the dense bandits around them.
At this moment, another group of people appeared in the forest in the distance.
Looking at the scene in the field, the group of people was also taken aback and looked stunned.
"What's going on?"
The person who opened his mouth was a descendant of the Chang family, Chang Ping.
The Changyou family has left their bloodlines and branches in various parts of Taizhou over the years.
After the accident at Chang's house, these people quickly went into hiding.
It's just that they ignored the ability of the Nighthawk agents of the Six Gates, and they had already been targeted a few days ago.
Originally, they planned to go away and go to Qianguo, but then they heard that Jingzhong had sent Yushi to come, so they planned to take a risk.
If the revenge of exterminating the clan is not avenged, they will not be able to sleep and eat.
But now the scene in front of me is beyond everyone's expectations.
Chang Pingxuan saw the carriage in the distance, and suddenly said: "That should be the carriage of the imperial history, quickly, save people!" ”
If this imperial history dies, this last hope will be gone.
As he spoke, he led a group of people forward.
However, the dragoons thought they were fellow bandits, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly intervened to stop them.
Chang Ping hurriedly shouted: "We are here to save people......"
But his words were not believed by the Dragoon Forbidden Army.
They also did not dare to guarantee whether these people were disguised by bandits.
He Sanshan sneered: "Another group of people who are not afraid of death!" ”
"Kill them for Lao Tzu!"
For a while, the scene became extremely chaotic, and several parties were completely killed together.
