Chapter 3 Niutou Mountain

It seems that the world is constantly changing. It was almost noon, Yan Tao was about to beckon everyone to set up camp and set up a stove to make a fire for cooking, but he found a simple shed on the side of the road in front of him. Looking at the hanging in front of the door, it is obviously a roadside restaurant.

Yan Tao was overjoyed in his heart, and he saved trouble for lunch. The order came to the front, and the group stopped in front of the restaurant.

There were too many people to accommodate under the sheds, and the shopkeepers erected rudimentary dining tables and benches with planks and wooden squares on the roadside.

Anyway, there are generally no cars, horses and pedestrians on the road, and Xiao Er is beckoning everyone to sit down and drink water.

When he walked up to the entourage of the victim, the entourage pointed to the mountain not far in front of him and asked Xiao Er: "Little brother, is that the Niutou Mountain that people here say?"

"Yes, guest officer, do you see how much that mountain looks like a bull's head?" replied Xiao Er.

"It's really like, there's no strong man on this mountain, right?" he asked casually.

Xiao Er paused and asked, "Listening to the accent, the guest officer is not a local, and he doesn't often walk here, right?"

"I came from the capital and passed through here a few years ago. The retinue of the subject replied.

"No wonder, in this peaceful and prosperous world, there will be a strong man in Lang Lang Qiankun? Besides, as for you people, if you are strong and strong, even strong people will hide away from you. "Xiao Er is obviously a person who can speak well.

"What the little brother said was that I just asked casually. He agreed.

After a while, the owner of the incident glanced at Yan Tao and took the lead to go outside the shed. Yan Tao followed, walked to a no-man's land, and stopped with him.

When Yan Tao came closer, he whispered: "Yan Lao Dart, divide people into two shifts to eat, especially the main personnel." ”

**Yan Tao of the lake certainly knows what is going on, "Is there a horse's foot exposed?"

"I asked in the village I passed before, in recent years, a group of strongmen have gathered on Niutou Mountain, and the restaurant is at the foot of the mountain, how could Xiao Er not know? There are not many of them, and when we eat in two shifts, they don't dare to act rashly. ”

"Do you know how many of them there are?" Yan Tao asked.

"The appearance of more than ten people. The attendant replied.

"If that's the case, can you lure the snake out of the hole? Yan Tao asked again.

The attendant thought for a moment and nodded.

The victim had been living in a shallow place all the way, and this would be in the car he was in without showing his head, and the car was parked under the shade of a large tree next to the restaurant shed. The attendant put his head into the curtain of the door and said a few words.

Yan Tao then whispered to Lei Zizhen, Yan Laishun and several dart masters.

Yan Tao also felt more and more that he missed the dart last time, and Fu Shengdi's suspicions were not unreasonable. It's not very far from its own territory, and the black and white have sent people to say hello, and if you dare to start with the dart game, maybe it has something to do with the last dart. Because if you miss the dart again this time, the dart game will fall into a place of no return, that is, if you want to break the dart game, you should not miss this rare opportunity.

Although the dart game could not stand the wind and rain at this time, Yan Tao still did not want to let go of this opportunity. A few of his own masters and apprentices, dealing with more than a dozen thieves, should be foolproof.

There are many people and the store is small, the reception capacity is limited, and the dishes are not very rich, but the amount of dishes is still very large. After the dishes were served, Xiao Er thought very thoughtfully, saying that he noticed someone in the car and brought a square plate to deliver the food. The entourage of the victim took it very politely and sent it himself.

When he came back from delivering food, he glanced at Yan Tao, who nodded in understanding.

Along the way, except for some alcohol at night, everyone can't drink alcohol at other times.

Dart walkers also have the ability to eat very quickly. Just like the army, the other party will come over without eating a few bites of food when marching and fighting, and if you don't eat quickly, you can only march hungry.

The effort was not great, and the people in the dart game began to stagger. Some people leaned on the table, some people fell to the ground, and Yan Tao and others also lay on the table.

I heard a whistle, and quickly rushed through the back door of the restaurant to a group of people, all with weapons in their hands.

One of the leaders shouted: "Brothers, we have become rich, hurry up and tie everyone up." Be careful not to harm people's lives, we only want money, not lives. ”

As soon as the strongman leader's words fell, he heard a sneer: "A good one only wants money, not life, it seems that you can still be saved." It was Yan Tao who spoke.

Before the strongmen could react to what was going on, they were already surrounded by groups.

"What's going on? He San, how did you get TAMA, didn't you say that it was foolproof?"

"Boss, I obviously saw that they all ate and fell?" He San, that is, the diligent shopkeeper, said with a sad face.

"We have started the word, and the brethren have moved ,......"

"Don't tie your hands yet. Yan Tao said, and before the strongman leader could make a move, he had already twisted his arm. The machete in the hand of the strongman leader was taken off, and the man fell to his knees because of the twisted arm.

Yan Tao hooked the machete that the strongman leader fell to the ground with his toes, caught it neatly with his empty hand, and then pressed the knife on the neck of the strongman leader.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, "If you want to live, ask your people to put down the guy in their hands." Yan Tao said in a deep voice.

The strongman looked back and forth, left and right, and shouted helplessly: "Put down the guy, let go of the guy!" and turned to Yan Tao as he spoke: "Hero spare life! Hero spare life! We have eyes that don't know Mount Tai." ”

Listening to the words of the leader, the strongmen dropped their weapons one after another and gave up resistance.

Yan Tao ordered these people to be tied up, and the ropes brought by the strong people themselves came in handy.

The strongmen were tied together with ropes, tied together, and assigned a few people to watch. Lei Zizhen pointed the tip of his knife at the person called He San by the leader of the strongmen, that is, the former shopkeeper.

"WANGBADAN, WHAT KIND OF MEDICINE DID YOU ORDER? HONESTLY!" ASKED LEIZI IN A SHARP VOICE

"Uncle, it's just ordinary sweat medicine. He San was so frightened that his pants were wet.

"Is there an antidote?" the tip of the knife was already in the flesh, but it hadn't pierced the flesh yet.

"No, no, it's okay, I'll wake up in a while. As he spoke, someone had woken up and was looking at the scene in a daze, not knowing what was going on?

Lei Zizhen was relieved when he saw the rear, he beckoned someone to help the person who fell to the ground up, and organized people to go to the back room to cook by themselves, and clean up the messy meals and dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Seeing that there were still a lot of steamed buns in the back kitchen, Lei Zizhen asked He San if he had been poisoned? He San shook his head vigorously and denied. Lei Zizhen was not at ease, so he took a steamed bun and put it on He San's mouth with his hand and let him eat it. He San didn't dare not eat it, and devoured a steamed bun. After a while, seeing that He San didn't have anything, Lei Zizhen picked one up by himself, ate it, and worked so hard until now, Lei Zizhen still hadn't eaten a mouthful of food. Yan Laishun and others also picked up the steamed buns and ate them.

Yan Tao took the strongman leader aside, and didn't know what to ask. After asking for a long time, he brought the strongman leader back and threw him in the pile. Yan Tao took He San aside again, asked for a long time, and finally threw it back. Then I asked a few more, but this time it didn't take much effort to ask.

Then, Yan Tao called the entourage of the victim to the side, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing the master coming over, Lei Zizhen greeted the master and asked in a low voice, "Master, have you found anything?" Yan Tao shook his head. "Does it have anything to do with the last dart?" Lei Zizhen also thought of the last dart.

"It's okay, it's just a bunch of petty thieves. Yan Tao's tone was flat.

"The little thief has such guts, wouldn't he?" asked Lei Zizhen.

"I thought the same thing, but I couldn't believe it. I haven't even heard much about our dart game, and we haven't been here for a long time to commit crimes in other places. ”

After listening to the master's words, Lei Zizhen nodded.

Soon, the dishes fried by the dart bureau were served on the table, and Yan Tao beckoned the people who had not eaten to come over to eat. The victim's entourage sent a copy to the victim's car, and when he came back, he was pulled to his side by Yan Tao.

Yan Tao said to everyone that this time we were able to have no danger, thanks to the keen eyes of the guest officer. The entourage was unusually low-key, and hurriedly said that he knew that Yan Lao Dart had already noticed it, but he just wanted to catch it.

After eating and preparing to leave, Lei Zizhen asked Yan Tao, are those captured strongmen sent to the government?

Yan Tao thought for a while and said: "It is better to settle the grievances than to tie the knot, we are darts, we often come and go on this road, it is better to have fewer grudges." After all, they only want money and do not kill people, and they are not considered to be a great evil. We are not a government, and it is not our business to reward the good and punish the evil. Although we beg for a living on the head of a knife, we are still businessmen after all, and we pay attention to harmony and make money. If you have to be forgiving and forgiving, let's let it go. ”

After listening to the master's words, Lei Zizhen didn't say anything more. Before leaving, he loosened the ties of all the strongmen.

Yan Tao said to the leader of the strongman, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, here is not relying on the village or the store, with a few brothers, run an inn seriously, there are not many customers can also operate some mountain goods to make up for it. Even if it is the way to survive, it can also provide convenience for people who come and go, so why not do it? The leader of the strongman is grateful for his kindness, and swears to Tianming that he will take his brothers to change their minds and become new people.

Yan Tao knew that most of these words were not credible, but all he could do was to say what he said, the so-called dedication.

It is always a good thing to persuade others to follow the right path. Although he was conspired upon, Yan Tao still told Lei Zizhen to settle the meal bill. The leader of the strongman was flushed, and he didn't accept it, so Yan Tao didn't force it anymore.

When they broke up, the strongman leader saw off the dart team on the side of the road and said to Yan Tao: "Old dart master, the integrity of the dart bureau is thin and cloudy, I have written it down, but if there is anything to order, my brothers and I will do our best to drive." ”

Yan Tao felt his sincerity and said that the drive was not enough, and the people of the dart bureau passed by here again, but asked for more convenience.

The leader of the strongman said that it was for sure, and you can rest assured that you can eat and live here when you pass by. As long as he and his brethren are there, this will always be the place for the Honest Dart Game to stay.

After experiencing this danger, Yan Tao and everyone were more cautious about the next trip. It also further confirms the overall situation that Yan Tao determined at the beginning that there are big roads and not small roads, and that he will stay in large market towns as much as possible during the day and night.

Yan Tao was fully prepared for the dangers of the journey, but the next trip was surprisingly smooth. More than a month later, more than 2,000 miles of travel, the team of the dart bureau has gone out of the Meridian Valley of Nanshan to enter the Meridian Ancient Road, the trip has come to an end, and the road has been safe.

Not only did nothing happen, but even a small thing didn't happen. It is inevitable that someone will get sick after a long journey, but no one of them will get sick along the way.

Most of the time on the road, Yan Tao rode a horse with the retinue of the victim, and Yan Tao became more and more trusting and even relying on this entourage. Like Fu Sheng, his own think tank, when he encounters something, the first thing that comes to mind is this entourage and asks for his opinion.

And he could clearly feel that his entourage was also honest and knowledgeable to him.
