Chapter 119: Black Talk

The five of them marched towards the wind, the night sky was as deep as ink, and large clouds were suspended low above them. After entering this forest, the Qingzhou ghost riders really disappeared in the night like ghosts, and they dismounted one after another and walked on foot.

In the forest without the sound of horses' hooves, only the incessant chirping of crickets remained, but after Qin Ke unfolded his wind vision, he could feel the sound of birds flapping their wings and passing over his head.

The bushes that no one cleared were more than a person tall, and in the darkness they seemed to be like wild beasts, and a few wolf cries gradually came from afar, and Qin Ke only felt that his heart began to feel uneasy.

On the way to Jingwu, he took the carriage of a caravan, and along the way, he also heard those merchants say that the mountains and forests here are dense, and there are many bandits hidden in them, although the officers and soldiers have launched several encirclement and suppression, but these bandits are like cunning rabbits, as long as the officers and soldiers come, they will hide in the depths of the forest, and keep them so that those officers and soldiers can be caught blind, and nothing can be found.

And after waiting for the rumors to pass, these bandits will come out again, kill people and goods, and do all kinds of evil.

At this moment, Gao Changgong was by his side, he didn't have to worry about the problem of bandits, but walking in such a place at night, he would not have to be happy and happy.

He didn't know where he was going, but Abu and Su Dingfang on his side looked so comfortable and steady.

Qin Ke knew that Abu was fearless because he followed Gao Changgong, and Su Dingfang ...... Thinking that this man of the Great Wall, who has seen life and death countless times, will not have any fear in such a place.

And what about him, why did he come? His mind seemed to be shrouded in a fog that made him unable to find his way for a while.

Gao Changgong walked in front, and Mulan beside him asked softly, "Is this here?"

"This is it. Gao Changgong approached a tall old tree, reached out and touched it, feeling a mark he was familiar with on the rough bark.

Then with a slight force of his thumb, the bark shattered like a broken piece of paper, and the mark was gone.

Qin Ke didn't know what Gao Changgong and Mulan were talking about, but not long after the two talked, he saw the depths of the forest from afar, and from the cracks in the bushes, a few fires gradually revealed.

"Someone?" Qin Ke was slightly excited in his heart, thinking that he had finally seen so much popularity in this gloomy and obscure barren mountain range......

But he suddenly realized that where would there be people in this kind of wilderness? I'm afraid it's either bandits or bandits, right?

As soon as he opened his mouth, the person on the other side noticed their existence, and immediately became vigilant, and someone shouted, "Who?"

Qin Ke didn't know how to answer, and then he heard the footsteps of countless people, and the firelight flickered in the night sky.

Following Gao Changgong in the direction of the footsteps and the firelight, they saw the appearance of the camp clearly.

The camp was rudimentary, and the walls made of wood were not so high that he could even cross them with a slight leap. The houses inside are quite neat, but they are only neat, the adobe walls, the thatched roofs are shabby, compared to Jianye City, even the oldest neighborhood can throw more than a dozen streets in this place.

Of course, Qin Ke also felt that his idea was very unreasonable, between the mountains and wilderness, where would there be such tall houses? Maybe this is from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. Accustomed to eating meat buns, he is not very willing to nibble on the dry and hard flatbread now.

"Stop!" The strong man who was wearing linen clothes and full of flesh with a torch widened his eyes and shouted at several people: "Are you friends in ligature?"

"On the ligature?" Qin Ke was stunned, not quite understanding what it meant, but thinking about it, it should be the bandit's black words, right? He looked at Abu and looked at him, obviously Abu had no idea about this sentence, but he guessed in a low voice, "It should be...... Friends on the road?"

Gao Changgong took a step forward, the night was dark, and half of his handsome face was hidden in the darkness, but Qin Ke always felt that there was a knife in his eyes: "Shoulder to shoulder, I heard that the eldest brother caught a fresh bean today, let's rub the wrong mouth." ”

Hearing this, the strong man's originally vicious expression relaxed a little, but his eyes were still vigilant, and he shouted loudly: "When did you say that you can turn people into pots?"

Gao Changgong laughed: "Shoulder to shoulder! It's the same ligature, can't you drink a mouthful of a mountain? I'm not a Buddha, what can I honor your family? Besides, I didn't come empty-handed......" He raised his hand, and a gold ingot in his palm glittered in the firelight, "This is what my eldest brother asked me to send, do you say I will enter or not?"

Although Jing Wu is rich, but now the circulation in Jianye City is mainly copper plates and broken silver, gold ingots are very rare, not to mention this gold ingot under the nose of a discerning person, you can know that the color of this gold is really good, in the hand will be a few points heavier than the gold on the market.

In the light of the fire, the orange glow of the gold ingot made the people holding the torches shake their eyes, and suddenly showed greedy eyes.

However, the big man became even more vigilant: "This gold of all color ...... Where did you come from? Who is your eldest brother?"

Gao Changgong's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Heh, it's rare, I also passed by a sea fin a few days ago, and asked us to cut it so that we can get this gift." As for my eldest brother, his surname is Miaowan, do you know?"

Hearing the words "squinting ten thousand", Dahan's expression finally relaxed, he laughed out loud, and said with annoyance: "Hey, it turned out to be Brother Yang's person." I didn't say it earlier, you see you're getting into trouble. Come on, come on, big brother is happy today......"

He greeted him, saw Gao Changgong's handsome face under the light of the fire, was stunned, and muttered, "A thief...... Looks so beautiful. ”

But he didn't think much about it, after all, he was not a good man, so he patted Gao Changgong's shoulder and said happily: "Let's go, go in and drink!"

As he spoke, the man with the torch made a way, and the man took the lead, taking Gao Changgong and the others, Gao Changgong tilted his head to look at Qin Ke with a dull expression, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Qin Ke coughed and asked reluctantly, "What do you mean by that?"

Gao Changgong folded off a blade of grass on the side of the road, put it in his mouth and said softly: "Side by side, it's brothers, fresh beans, it's the meaning of the little lady, rubbing the wrong teeth, it's saying that I'm here to eat meat." ”

probably felt that it was too troublesome to explain one word by one, so he simply said directly: "I heard that his eldest brother caught a little lady today and wanted to get married, so he came to eat meat." He said he didn't want to ask for food here, let me go. I said that it was all on the road, and I couldn't drink a sip of wine? I am not a thief, can I steal anything from your house? I took the gold ingot, and he asked me where I came from, and I said that it was a big official who was passing by a few days ago, and I robbed him. As for the surname Miaowan, Miaowan is 'Yang'. ”

Qin Ke was not a fool, of course he quickly understood, but how could there be such strange words in this world? Moreover, this kind of words actually came out of the mouth of General Jing Wu just now......

The corners of Mulan's mouth curled slightly at this time, guessing his thoughts, and sighed: "You general, you are not a good stubble." When I was home, I wandered the rivers and lakes, and I heard that he had been the king of the mountain for a few days, so what was so surprising that he could say a few black words?"

"Mountain King ......" Qin Ke and Abu were speechless, and the Mountain King Gao Changgong?

As soon as this title blurted out in front of the Jing Wu people, I was afraid that I would be beaten to the ground.

After all, in the eyes of the people of Jing Wu, Gao Changgong will always be covered with a thousand rays of light, and his feat of leading the eight thousand Qingzhou ghost horses to turn the tide has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, who would believe that he had been the king of the mountain before?

Gao Changgong glanced at Mulan helplessly, and whispered: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, so don't you expose my old background?"

As they spoke, several people had already walked through several adobe houses, and the big man held a torch and led everyone to approach the largest house, through the wide open door, you could see the fire shining inside, and countless people serving wine together, clay wine bowls raised above their heads, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

After all, the bandits are not able to understand the rhythm, but when they beat the leather drum lamely, and the scabbard hits the wooden post, they really create a bit of a festive atmosphere.

And the one sitting in the middle of the place, wearing a set of marshin groom's wedding robe that didn't fit well, but how to look at it and feel weird, think about it, this is the owner of the village.
