Chapter Forty-Seven: The Death of the Child
There is Heimuzhuang on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River outside Hengzhou City, Lei Tian has been squatting here for a night, he is waiting for someone, the widow of the Zheng family.
From the time the king of Hengzhou informed the prince that he was going to come to Hengshan to worship the mountain, the boundary of Hengzhou began to be investigated. Catch fast house is responsible for understanding the current situation of the surrounding regulated businesses.
The boundaries of Hengzhou are rich in charcoal, black coal and iron. These three strategic materials supported the military command of Ma Wangye in Jiangnan West Road, and they were all controlled by the institutions directly under the Hengzhou Wang's account. But these three materials on the black market are in the hands of the Zheng family in Tanzhou.
Zheng Taigong of the Zheng family in Tanzhou is the brother of Ma Wangye before and after the saddle. The only son of the old lady served under the account of the prince of Ma, but unfortunately died young, leaving behind two old people and a pair of orphans and widows. Ma Wang Ye also specially set up a memorial arch for the widow of the Zheng family.
This widow of the Zheng family is really powerful, and she eats both black and white on the Xiangjiang waterway. She fell in love with this high-profit black three, and Heimuzhuang was the Zheng family's stronghold in Hengzhou.
The Zheng family didn't give Hengzhou a quick face at all, and Lei Tian had no choice but to come and squat in person, hoping to meet this Zheng family widow for a while. After all, this collection of black three things, just open a furnace in that ravine in Hengshan, and all kinds of cold weapons come out. And the cold weapon is now something that the king of Hengzhou wants to strictly control.
Last time in Panshi Town, Lei Tian had already met Wu Dehong. Wu Dehong's Baili Bamboo Forest is only responsible for making bamboo bows, and the arrows are provided by the Zheng family's branch. Lei Tian has arranged personnel to monitor all mining areas in Hengzhou, whether it is charcoal burning, coal mining, or iron making, and all small and medium-sized black mines have been suspended. Any increase in production by a licensed hard-core will be outlawed immediately. But the inventory of the black three is not in the grasp of the fast house. This is also where Lei Tian is anxious.
The king of Hengzhou has sent a letter to the Zheng family, hoping that the Zheng family will cooperate with the investigation. I heard that the widow of the Zheng family would rush to Heimuzhuang today, and Lei Tiancai came to wait early, but now that the sun is high, there is still no movement in Heimuzhuang.
In addition to Heimuzhuang, Lei Tian is also responsible for dealing with the various mountain gates of Hengshan, and only the disciples of the Hengshan Sect jointly supervise the security work of this mountain sacrifice trip can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So Lei Tian's time is also precious.
In the early morning, in Bishuitan, the old snake man organized a meeting to discuss the plan to kill the two. Gu Zijian and Peng San were gone, and everyone's morale was hit.
The old snake man looked at everyone with a hookah, "If you want to leave now, I don't blame you." ”
"That stinky boy, his mouth doesn't have any hair, but his temper has grown first, master, you discuss first, I'll go and bring Gu Zi back," Baili volunteered to find Gu Zijian.
"Is there anyone else leaving?" the old man looked at everyone, "Let me remind you first, Guo'er's strength is extraordinary, it is not easy to kill it, you need everyone to do this task with the confidence of death, do you have the determination?"
"Master Snake rest assured, this matter is the responsibility of my generation, and Wei Zuo obeys the master's arrangement. ”
"Listen to the master's arrangement," Zhao Dazui said.
"Master Snake, please wait a little longer, and when they come back, can we come back to discuss the matter of killing Er?" Zeng Yiqi believed that Baili would be able to bring the Guzi Sword back.
"Okay, then wait, the three men may have gone to see it, and we'll talk about it when they come back." ”
At noon, Peng San came back, he brought some food to see him early in the morning, but unfortunately he had no appetite.
Baili had nothing to say about her ability to find people, and before noon, Gu Zijian entered under her nose. Baili didn't want to say hello, so he wanted to see what he was going to do.
That night, after Gu Zijian knocked Zeng Yiqi down, he couldn't sleep. Thinking about it, he still felt that it was right to kill the Snake King, 'If you don't agree, I'll go alone', and Gu Zijian went on the road alone. Along the way, Gu Zijian was also extremely flamboyant, and there was no rest with an axe in his hand. Whether it's a tree branch or a stone, it's just chopping all the way through. Python Mountain had no way, so he cut a way.
"What are you going to do?" Baili finally couldn't help but come out and call him.
Gu Zijian saw that he was chased by Baili, and there was a trace of joy in his heart, "I'll kill the Snake King." ”
"You're going in the opposite direction!"
"What, I'm walking towards Python Mountain, don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm already in the Python Mountain Realm now, and if I go further, I'll go down the mountain," Baili was laughing when he said this, Gu Zijian was full of doubts, and he couldn't refute it, because he really didn't know where he was!
"Let's go, sister will take you back. ”
"No, I'm going to kill the Snake King. ”
"Are you a man, didn't you agree to kill your son last night?"
"I didn't say I disagreed, I'll go and kill the snake king first, and then you have to kill you, then I'll be your helper!"
"Go, small-bellied chicken intestines, if you are a man, you have to say nothing. Otherwise, how can women rely on it?"
"Of course I'm exactly what I say. ”
"Then follow me. ”
"I don't go to the pool. ”
"Where are you going to go if you don't go to Bishuitan? ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
Baili and Gu Zijian quickly found Guo'er in the corpse gang. It lies on the surface of the water racing the sun, its smooth scales glistening. From a distance, it is so beautiful and conspicuous. If you hadn't sat on it, if you hadn't played with it for a while, if you hadn't seen its smiling face, I believe no one would have dared to approach it.
After all, there was no old snake man to lead the team, and the two of them walked cautiously in front of Guo'er's head, and they didn't dare to be too pretentious. In front of him, the old man sat there smoking alone, and his eyes were red, and he was crying like that. Guo'er was lying in front of the old snake man, sleeping with his eyes closed.
"The boss is not small, why do you still cry at every turn," Baili soured him.
"Little girl, you are here, the old man has eye disease, and it is normal for him to have the habit of crying in the wind," the old man was a little embarrassed.
Gu Zijian put his hand on Guo'er's mouth, "It's so good, old man, I really don't believe what you said last night." ”
"Guzi, look at the master, if it weren't for the real situation, the master would definitely be reluctant to make such a decision. The boy is a little more mature. ”
"I just don't want to!"
The three of them sat like this, and sat until the sun set, and then reluctantly said goodbye to Guo'er.
At night, in front of the bonfire.
Zeng Yiqi smiled at Gu Zijian, "Gu Zi, you are really good." ”
"It's good to know, and in the future, you won't be an adult in front of me" Gu Zijian looked at this Zeng Yiqi, which was considered to be reconciled.
"Well, from this day on, we will be dead. In the future, everyone should not be called like this. The old man said.
"And what do we call it?"
"Call it the great basilisk," said the old man in no uncertain terms. Ginger is old and spicy, and as soon as the name is changed, everyone is much more comfortable, and it is natural to kill monsters. Except, of course, Peng San.
"Then let's talk about how to kill the big basilisk!"
"Master, tell us about the weakness of the Great Basilisk first. ”
"Yes," the old snake man blew, "this great basilisk has no weaknesses except that he is blind in his left eye. ”
