Zhou Yi went to Liuhang Peak for only one purpose, that is, to let Wu Ye send the Nine Dragons Jade Xiao back to Wuxiang Mountain, only in this way can this disaster be prevented, otherwise, there will be no way to talk about the peace of the rivers and lakes, and Baihe Mountain will inevitably be affected by Yue Zhong.

The six hanging peaks are on the west side between Baihe Mountain and Wuxiang Mountain, and it is only two days' journey from Baihe Mountain. When Zhou Yi set off, he only thought that he wanted Wu Ye to return the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, but it was indeed not easy for him to give up this treasure that he had exchanged for his life. As he walked, he thought, the two days seemed like a blink of an eye.

At noon the next day, Zhou Yi passed by a market and saw a group of people watching the excitement around this shadow puppet stage, squeezing into the crowd, and saw a middle-aged man beating a girl with a leather whip.

Zhou Yi stepped forward to stop it, and the man said: "I beat my own child, what does it matter to you!"

As soon as the girl saw someone coming out to speak, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and she crawled behind Zhou Yi, trembling all over her body and not daring to speak.

Zhou Yi looked at the man's face full of meat, broad arms and round waist, he really didn't look like a showman, and then looked at the scars on the girl's body, it was hard to believe that they were father and daughter.

But when he looked behind the man, four men in the same clothes were staring at him angrily, all with sinister eyebrows and bad intentions. Zhou Yi knew that he couldn't stand out, although there were many onlookers around, but they were all watching the excitement, in this era of war and chaos, the people only wanted to protect themselves.

"I bought this girl," Zhou Yi pretended to be cynical, and then took out a gold ingot from his waist and threw it at the man, "The gold belongs to you, and this girl belongs to me, how about it?"

The onlookers exclaimed, and the man's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the gold and kept weighing it, and then looked at the people around him, and said with a wicked smile: "Okay, this child is really pitiful to sleep with me, if you really take her, I have nothing to say." ”

When the girl heard this, she knelt down on her knees in front of Zhou Yi and kowtowed to him. Zhou Yi was afraid that the man would regret it, so he picked up the girl and walked out.

"What's your name, is he really your father?"

"I have been abducted and sold since I was a child, and I don't have a name, they all call me magpie, and the person just now is not my father, I bought it for two taels of silver. ”

The magpie whispered, but he didn't dare to stop, and pulled Zhou Yi to walk quickly into the distance. Seeing that no one was coming, she whispered to Zhou Yi again: "I'll tell you the truth, don't look at them now that they are singing, they are all stealing chickens and dogs behind their backs, and the man in charge has even killed people!"

"Really?"

Zhou Yi immediately stopped, and his thin face revealed a cold air.

When the magpie saw Zhou Yi's strange expression, he felt bad, "Even if it's true, you can't go back to recruit them!"

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said: "What I hate the most is the people who bully the weak and the people!"

When he turned around, he suddenly saw that the five men were not far behind him. The magpie was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he pulled Zhou Yi and wanted to run.

"Since they are looking for death, I will give them a ride. Zhou Yi stopped the magpie behind him and walked towards the men by himself.

The five big men surrounded Zhou Yi, "Little brother, it's not easy for us to run the rivers and lakes, this child is just a piece of gold, and we will inevitably suffer too much." ”

"Take it!"

Zhou Yi untied a money bag from his waist and threw it at the big man, "There is only one piece of gold, I originally came out to do errands for our master, and the rest of the scattered silver will be given to you." ”

The man took the money bag, and the other four people also gathered around, all with golden eyes shining brightly.

"But I have one condition," Zhou Yi said coldly, "If you can do what I asked, there will be a heavy reward next, if not, these are my private money, I won't buy this girl." ”

When the five big men heard that there was still money to earn, they hurriedly nodded and smiled, "Master, we don't know Taishan, as long as you tell us, we can do anything!"

"That's good," Zhou Yi squinted slightly, and looked the five people up and down, "My hostess has a hobby, that is, watching plays, and it will be her birthday in a few days. ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly took his words: "Let's do it, my brothers have been running the rivers and lakes for many years, and they have survived by relying on these livelihoods, if the master doesn't believe it, the brothers can give the master an ugly look now!"

Zhou Yi sighed as a difficulty: "If it weren't for the fact that my wife's birthday was approaching and I couldn't make a difference, I really wouldn't look down on you! ”

When the five people heard this, they surrounded Zhou Yi and saluted, as if they had caught a god of wealth.

"However, you can't smash the act," Zhou Yi said with a serious face, "I know best what kind of drama Madame likes to watch, and when you go up the mountain, you will act according to my arrangement, as long as you don't make mistakes, after the deed is completed, each person will give you five ingots of gold!"

The man had a smile on his face, and the five of them nodded their heads one after another.

Zhou Yi had other plans in his heart, he had already thought of a plan to use the hands of these five people to deter Wu Ye and let him return the jade flute.

==***==

Six hanging peaks, the mountain is dangerous and the road is rugged, the forest is gloomy and cold, it is a place where even the robbers will be frightened by it.

Along the way, Zhou Yi saw people going up and down the mountain one after another, including farmers who delivered firewood and rice, and merchants who sold cloth, which did not make those robbers flinch.

Before going up the mountain, they lived in an inn, and Zhou Yi took the opportunity to choreograph a shadow puppet show for them, telling the story of a man who was originally kind-hearted, after being bewitched, he stole the treasures that the family had treasured for many years, and went to the mountains to live in danger, and the man's second brother came to ask for the crime, and was killed by him by mistake. This is exactly the same as the fact that Wu Ye stole the Nine Dragons Jade Flute and killed Wu Guang. It's just that at the end, Zhou Yi added a scene of treasure hunting for them in the rivers and lakes.

Later, when the elders of the family learned that someone was going to the mountains to snatch the treasure, they went to the mountains to meet the man and persuaded him to return to Zhao and apologize for his crimes. The man did not listen to the advice and was eventually murdered. ”

Zhou Yi was still apprehensive in his heart, such a move might not be able to deter Wu Ye, or it would not be enough to shake his greedy heart to occupy the jade flute. Thinking of the evil deeds of this gang of robbers, who have disregarded human life, if they do not take advantage of the mechanism to stop them, it will be the innocent people in that area who will suffer in the future.

So, Zhou Yi deliberately said to the magpie: "My master has no children in his life, and no one will inherit this huge inheritance, so the hostess has spent extravagantly over the years, and it all depends on his family's great business." ”

Although Zhou Yi's voice was small, it was not far from them, and the five robbers were red-eyed when they heard it, and their eyes were expressive to each other, as if they were going to take the opportunity to rob them.

"Dare to ask the master," a robber came to Zhou Yi with a smile, "I have never heard of any big families on this mountain, I don't know who your master is?"

Hearing him ask, Zhou Yi didn't feel strange, although the Six Hanging Peaks were occupied by Wu Ye, but he also promised Yu Guangling back then, Yu Guangling in order to ensure the safety of the Nine Dragons Jade Xiao, Yu Guangling personally went to the Six Hanging Peaks, reprimanded Wu Ye, and asked him to keep a low profile, so it is reasonable for this side of the rivers and lakes not to know that he is the king of the mountain here.

This made Zhou Yi feel relieved.

"A person who was an official in his early years and later retired from the rivers and lakes. Zhou Yi replied.

"No wonder he spends a lot of money, it turned out to be a dog official...... one of the robbers said angrily, just because Zhou Yi called him 'master', after saying the word 'dog official', he quickly shut up, nodded and smiled at Zhou Yi, "Master forgive us, we are used to running the rivers and lakes, and we are used to those officials who fish and meat the people...... , so when it comes to this official...... Hey, your master must be a clean official!"

Zhou Yi was shocked when he saw him like this, "You and I are both people in the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't hurt to say something." There is a saying that 'it is difficult to keep your shoes wet when standing by the river', my master has been an official for many years, and I don't believe it when it comes to absolute Qingming. Since it is said that a few people have traveled the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that this resentment of the officials and the people will be more experienced than ordinary people?"

When the man heard Zhou Yi say sincerely, he also let go of the mustard and let out a long sigh, looking extremely sad.

"If we can live and work in peace and contentment, why should our brothers wander all over the world? It is all the government that forcibly levies taxes, and in the year of the great drought, the people can hardly even meet their own rations, and where can they get the extra food for him! At that time, my mother was seriously ill, and I hoped that she would have a full meal before she died," the man also became resolute, "so I broke into the official office at night and robbed him of the imperial grain!"

Zhou Yi stayed there in a daze, his eyes flashing with bright candles, "I didn't expect that the hero was a filial son!"

The man shook his head, "Since then, the government has sent out sea fishing documents, and I have never returned to my mother." As he spoke, the man turned his gaze to the magpie on the side, "It's all because of that dog official, so I haven't even been able to see her old man for the last time!

The magpie turned pale with fright, and hurriedly hid behind Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked back at the magpie, obviously she didn't tell herself the truth, but it was inappropriate to question at this time, she was originally unpredictable in life and death, in order to survive, it was reasonable to make up some lies for Zhou Yi to save her.

Zhou Yi clasped his fists, "A good man should know the truth that one person does things and one person does things, she is like this, please look at my thin face, let her live." ”

The man was still indignant, but Zhou Yi stood in front of the magpie, and the leather whip he was holding tightly in his hand was finally taken back.

"Since Hao Han is willing to sell this favor, I will also return the gift to you. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yi wrote a note, put in a bag, and handed it to the man, "My master has a good personality, if the performance is not good, I am afraid that it will cause you to suffer, and you can take out this bag and give it to him at that time, so that you can keep you safe and sound." ”

The man took the bag and was about to open it to see, but then stopped and smiled at Zhou Yi: "Since it is a clever plan, it naturally can't be opened casually." ”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and bowed.

==***==

At dusk, Zhou Yi sneaked out quietly under the pretext of stopping a farmer who went up the mountain to deliver vegetables on the road, he claimed to be a scholar who came here to play, because he had no entanglement and nowhere to stay, so he asked the farmer to give him some change. In return, Zhou Yi helped him pick vegetables up the mountain.

On the way, Zhou Yi took the opportunity to ask the six hanging peaks about the manpower, horses, and farmers in great detail.

Zhou Yi asked again: "Does anyone on this mountain like to watch dramas?"

The farmer shook his head and smiled: "The old man who lives here is a martial arts man, his wife died early, and he only has a daughter under his knees, so no one in his family should watch the play." ”

"How old is this young lady?"

The farmer stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "About fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is also a martial arts rider, a young man who reads military books, and has a strong temperament!"

When Zhou Yi heard this, he wanted to go up to the six hanging peaks, and he needed to start with this girl.

"Since she has been studying martial arts since she was a child, presumably this martial master also raised her as a son," Speaking of this, Zhou Yi bowed to the farmer, "Although the younger generation is a scholar, he has long admired the demeanor of a handsome general on the battlefield, and I am fortunate to be here today, I hope to see the heroic appearance of this girl!"

The farmer smiled: "Since ancient times, heroes love beauty, I think you have other intentions!"

Zhou Yi smiled with him, scratched his head, and pretended to be embarrassed, "Please help me, old man!"

"There is a saying that 'women don't let women have eyebrows', she is a girl who practices martial arts, I am afraid that your majesty is not enough, and it is difficult to impress her. ”

"That depends on what kind of talent she meets!" Zhou Yi looked at the top of the secluded mountain and smiled coldly.
