Chapter Thirty-Nine: Wu Yan
Liang Mian sat on a wooden pier and scolded his subordinates for being lazy and chatting.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing over there? You don't want your share when you divide the money this month, do you? Look at your unproductive appearance, you don't work hard all day, when can you save enough money to go back to marry a wife, obviously you are a bandit, you look like a grandson, you feel annoyed when you see it." ”
He held out his finger and pointed to the outside of the camp.
"Quick, you four, go on patrol for me, and take a look at the surrounding area, otherwise there is no money, and Lao Tzu will kill you!"
He raised his hands in the air to hit people, and the few people who were chatting and farting just now fled.
They all knew that this leader was blaming them for being lazy in chatting, obviously being transferred here to guard the valley by the superiors, and they were just dissatisfied with them and angry with them. Although everyone understands it, who dares to say it? Isn't this looking for a fight?
One of them glanced at Liang Mian's metallic iron whip, which had been famous in the gang for many years with his weapons, and if this whip had been on him.
"Hiss......"
Just thinking about it, he gasped, and after seeing Liang Mian's killing methods, he now seemed to have a tingling sensation on his back. So he buried his head lower and hurriedly followed the people in front of him.
Liang Mian really wanted to scold his mother in his heart. Originally, I made a meritorious contribution last time and rewarded myself with two weeks of rest, and I originally planned to go to the Fengyue place in the town in front of me to have a good time. Every day, and there is no daughter-in-law, I care more about these short-term pleasures. If something goes wrong one day, the hob edge rolls to the neck, and you will die with a whimper, and you will not enjoy your own happiness, won't you live in vain?
The good thing is that the rewards and punishments in the gang are clear, and those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded and given holidays according to the level of meritorious service.
Three weeks of first-class merit, one hundred taels of silver;
two weeks of second-class merit, thirty taels of silver;
a week's vacation for third-class merit, ten taels of silver;
Liang Mian intercepted a team of wealthy merchants last time, ostensibly smugglers selling salt and iron, but in fact, there were two women from Tianyang hidden in the team.
When he thought about it now, his eyes lit up.
When the merchant who was the leader of the team had paid the money, he noticed a hint of unusual breath and hurriedly stopped the procession. In the pale face of the leader, he lifted the curtain of the carriage for the goods, and opened the first few sacks, revealing two high-nosed and big-eyed high-quality goods in front of him. He looked at the hot red lips and the breath under the light silk fabric, and his mouth was about to water.
The crooked melons and cracked dates in the green building in the small town, how can they be compared with a woman with this posture. And according to legend, the women of Tianyang not only have different faces from the people of Da Chu, but also due to the influence of wild folk customs, even speaking and doing things have a heroic spirit and wildness that mainland women do not have......
However, he only learned it by hearsay, and learned it while drinking with a few good brothers who often visited the kiln together. Tianyang Kingdom is already tense with Da Chu, as soon as new and old accounts accumulate, the population of the two countries is not interconnected, not only is it not connected, but it is a capital crime to cross the border, and those Qinglou guests all understand this, so occasionally there are Tianyang women who sneak to Da Chu, and their appearance is outstanding, they will become a signboard in the secret. Dancing exotic dances is already sky-high, let alone spending time with them and seeing the most powerful "kung fu" in the legend.
Therefore, even if he detained the two women, he originally wanted to bring them back to his village that night to enjoy, but I don't know which bastard leaked the news and reached the ears of the second master. This beast with a beast face and a heart will naturally not make these two women feel better, but the official level crushes people to death, and this is still the case in the officialdom, let alone in the gangs that do not follow the rules at all. Therefore, he had to obediently send the two women to the mouth of the second gang leader, although he was reluctant, but there was no way.
Fortunately, the second gang leader rewarded him with a second-class merit, although the silver is not much, but the most eye-catching thing is the two weeks of leisure time, for people like them who need to kill people every day, two weeks of leisure and comfortable life is more valuable than the thirty taels of silver. Although I can't taste the demeanor of a Tianyang woman, it's not bad, and thirty taels of silver is better than nothing, and I can make myself happy in the green building.
But when he heard that the second gang leader hadn't had time to enjoy his "tribute" that day, he went out overnight, and it seemed that he was going further north, Liang Mian was quite puzzled. What could make the second gang leader so anxious in the north, and the women couldn't even take care of it, so they went hunting in the endless wilderness? Or did they go to touch the mold of Feiyun City? He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to think about the thoughts of the big guys, as long as he lived his own little life.
However, just as he was about to go out, he learned the shocking news that the person who was guarding the valley was ...... Dead? This is something he never expected, that person is about the same strength as himself, looking at this radius of hundreds of miles, almost all the people who can kill him are in this Tiger King Gang, or in that Feiyun City.
However, Feiyun City has always ignored these bandits, and the city of Nuoda is directly managed by the Kyoto side, and is responsible for patrolling the Tianyang soldiers who flow from the Fulong Mountain Range, and does not participate in the maintenance of local atmosphere and political construction. Therefore, this made Liang Mian even more strange, I heard the attendant who came back say that it was just two ordinary horseback riders that day, and they looked like ordinary rich children, but they never thought that the leader just went up to ask for a word, and before he opened his mouth to buy road money, he was treated as the head of the man who was a little empty, and a blood hole appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and then he died.
He was shocked, isn't this kind of murder a great power that only exists in those legends or in the mouth of Mr. Shu? He was afraid that the superiors would not let him go, so that he would be the unlucky bastard, go to the valley mouth, and sit on that deadly job. I didn't expect to be afraid of anything, he was in the gang and the original person who guarded the valley mouth was similar in status and strength, naturally the best candidate, as soon as the person in front died, a letter was immediately sent to his stockade, asking him to replace him.
He was very depressed, he was comfortable as the leader of the "Liang Gang", although it was not a super gang, but under his many years of operation, the development prospects were also quite good, and then after the new one, that is, this Tiger King took the throne, he did not hesitate to sacrifice a lot of manpower to swallow all the small gangs around, but the magic is that such an obvious greed for more chewing truth was not fulfilled in the Tiger King Gang.
The tiger ate into a ball, but instead of breaking its belly with the support of some strange force, it grew strong bones and muscles......
He didn't dare to think about the conspiracy behind it, but... He also admits not letting himself be happy in the small gang, after all, his skills are not as good as others, in this wilderness of the jungle, weak things have to be swallowed up by strong things, this is an inevitable thing, but he is also a person who used to have a bit of a card in front of his brothers, and now he has to pin his head to his waist to do this kind of work, he Liang Mian is not happy enough.
Therefore, in the first few days, he was worried about whether the two-horse-like figure would appear again that day, and once he met someone with a small number of people or strange behavior, he didn't dare to provoke it, and silently let it pass. Later, after guarding for almost a week, he found that this worry was completely unnecessary, and the stupid guy before would take his own life, which should just belong to his own bad luck.
Thinking about it this way, this job is actually quite leisurely, with a bunch of people under his hands, he doesn't even need to speak for ordinary things, he just needs to think about how to pass the boring time in this wilderness. Being a bandit is the same as being an errand. He laughed so much at himself in his heart.
It's not happy.
But the people he called to patrol should have come back a long time ago, the scorching sun, those stupid people naturally couldn't stay outside for long, but it's almost an hour, what about people?
"Hey, old teeth, you take a few people to find the six sons, what are those turtle grandsons doing? He scolded at the bucktooth.
"Oh. Bucktooth replied, leading five men to the four in front.
Another half an hour passed, and not only did the four people who went to patrol in front of them not come back, but also none of the six people who went to look for them in the back. He didn't feel right, so many years of experience in the ghost gate told him: impermanence must have demons.
He was going to find out for himself.
Ten people, nearly half of his men today, because they were too nervous a few days ago, they brought too many entourages, far more than the number of guards in a camp, which made everyone complain. Now that he has relaxed his vigilance, there are only twenty-one people with him when he leaves the village, and he has suddenly risen a sense of crisis now.
He gathered five people, and was about to set off when the "business" came.
The spies ahead came to report;
A horse-drawn carriage was a mile away, heading towards the mouth of the valley.
"How many people?" asked Liang Mian habitually.
The subordinates who came to report the news looked a little strange.
"Back to the house, a ...... A groom, I don't know how many people were in the carriage. ”
Liang Mian also suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and looked at the place where the car came uneasily, and gave birth to a little retreat.
This team and the brothers... It certainly doesn't matter.
He told himself.
Obviously said that there was still a mile of land, but the carriage came so slowly, after the time of almost a stick of incense, Liang Mian was already sweating profusely, I don't know if it was because of the heat or because of nervousness, just when he wanted to go and see it for himself, the carriage came.
Watching the ordinary carriage creaking and creaking, it was pulled by two sturdy horses, and the driver did not look like a groom. Dressed in a Taoist robe, although his hair was tied behind his head with a wooden hairpin, it looked a little scattered, without the breath of fairy wind bones, but revealed a kind of weirdness.
The Taoist priest lazily waved his whip in the air, and rested his head on the carriage door in great comfort.
He finally mustered up the courage to stretch out his hand again and again.
"Stop!"
The carriage stopped, and the Taoist priest didn't even pull the reins.
"Do you know the rules?" he said, trying to keep his voice louder.
The Taoist priest seemed to be taking a nap, rubbed his eyes, woke up, glanced at Liang Mian, did not answer him, but turned his head and asked in the carriage:
"Immortal Master, what should the apprentice do?"
After speaking, there was no reply from the carriage.
After a few breaths, Liang Mian felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"It is said that your two uncles also took this road a few days ago, and if they dared to disturb them, they were killed directly. Although this is a loss of immortal demeanor, if there is really a mortal who is not long-eyed, he dares to be an annoying insect on my immortal path, and it may not be impossible to kill it. ”
Liang Mian heard that it was a clear female voice, but with a hint of laziness, as if she was tired of everything in this mortal world. At the moment, his legs and stomach were a little weak.
"I understand. The Taoist priest replied respectfully. Then he squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at the crowd.
Liang Mian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to find that his throat was as dry as fire.
The Taoist priest raised his whip to the crowd, moving gently and slowly, as if carving a painting on a walnut.
In the eyes of the people, the hand with the whip was raised higher and higher, and every inch it raised was like a hundred years.
The hand paused.
Rumble!
The chaotic footsteps of everyone joined together, and the yellow sand rolled for a while, but it only lasted for a moment, and the place where the valley mouth was originally empty was empty.
The whip raised by the Taoist priest fell on the horse's buttocks, and the two horses opened their legs and walked into the valley with a clatter.
......
Chen Feng was hiding in the narrow carriage, with Miss Wu sitting on the left, and Qingluan on the other, the second daughter's body was soft and fragrant, which made him a little dizzy. But this is all secondary, at this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, with the superb acting skills of Wu Wenjie and Zhang Sansheng, they passed the test without moving a single soldier.
Wu Wenjie helped his chest, which was somewhat large.
"It scared the hell out of me. ”
She said with some trepidation.
"Miss Wu's acting skills are really superb. Chen Feng sincerely admired.
If he is asked to play the groom or the immortal master sitting in the carriage, he will probably be seen by others at a glance, so he can only sit in the carriage, as the strongest in the group, his responsibility is to protect the two women, in case the matter is revealed, then Liang Mian will open the curtain to see, and he can wait for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow.
He was holding half a great sword in his hand, which had been broken by the Laughing Tiger's meteor hammer. In the past few days on this journey, when he was taking a break, he always saw Wu Wenjie holding it in his hand, so he asked Qingluan if there was any special origin of this sword.
Qingluan told him that the eldest young master Wu Wentian's big sword fell to the Tianyang battlefield, this one was made by the craftsman to imitate that one, since the death of the eldest young master, he has been following the eldest lady, although the quality is 108,000 miles different from the eldest young master's, but after so many years, this sword has long been entrusted with the eldest lady's strong thoughts about the eldest young master, which is naturally of great significance.
However, what only Wu Wenjie knew was that on the day the sword was broken, the back of a certain sword-wielding person was like a scene in a dream......
But that's all for later.
When Chen Feng heard about this, he thought to himself, the road is far away, and he must be able to meet many experts in weapon casting, if he can find a certain master of sword casting, even if it costs a lot of money, he must restore this broken sword.
Just when Chen Feng's mind was turning, at the mouth of the valley, the other three people walked in slowly, and took away the three horses that the group of people had no time to ride away when they fled just now, and also found two weapons in the camp, but the third was quite dissatisfied, because there was only a sledgehammer and no meteor hammer. He spun around and picked the heaviest one. Thinking that if you encounter a forged weapon later, you can add a chain to this hammer, and it will be perfect.
In addition, the meat and dry food were also slowly scavenged by the careful black panther, filled with two full bags, loaded on horseback, and walked into the valley to catch up with the carriage in front.
Liang Mian and his entourage ran for five miles in one breath before stopping, panting heavily, and glad that they had picked up a life, but suddenly a follower reported to themselves:
"There were a few people hanging from the tree in front of them, as if they were... Little Six and Old Tooth them. ”
He hurried to the woods in front of him, and the king of two rattan sheets hung his men on the road in two groups, and everyone was knocked unconscious, some were still spitting, but none of them died.
He was furious.
"Give me back!"
He has always been yin by himself, but he didn't expect to be yin by others this time, he didn't know where to vent his stomach, his steps suddenly became heavy, and he was panting in his nostrils, like a wounded cow. The rest of his men all trembled and ran after him towards the valley mouth, a distance of five miles, but it took more time to go back than to come, and it seemed that their group was a little ridiculous.
After a stick of incense, they stood inside the camp again, and when they saw the rummaged tents and baggage, Liang Mian's nose let out an angry roar.
"When... Boss. ”
The voice of a subordinate next to him was full of fear, afraid that Liang Mian, who was now extremely angry, would slap him to death.
"What's wrong. In the midst of extreme anger, the words became calm.
"Those brothers hanging on the tree, can they go back to save them?" he said, his eyes sneaking a glance at the face of the top boss.
"Save. He took a few steps forward, picked up his steel whip, and slammed it into the air in front of him.
Bang!
A loud steel whip, mixed with the sound of metal, made people chill. A few worried subordinates almost sat down in fright.
"Master!" said the messenger boy again, "your favorite black swallow...... was taken away. ”
His head buzzed and he almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately, the younger brothers behind him held him up.
"Give it to me...... Chase hard!"
He mounted another horse and ran towards the valley.
"Big brother, big brother, are those brothers still saved?"
A younger brother hurriedly followed him and asked behind him.
"Help, a bunch of waste! I'll save the fuck! If Lao Tzu's Wuyan can't chase it back, one person will be rewarded with fifty fucking lashes first!"
