Chapter 15: Wreck in the Back Mountain

When the first rays of the sun shone on the earth, the hard-working villagers of Mananzhuang had already gotten up to start a day's work, and the old men and old ladies under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village were not to be outdone, and moved their seats and stools early to start chatting about family life. A puff of smoke and dust rose on the road at the entrance of the village, and after a while, the smoke and dust came to the front of him, and he waited for the smoke and dust to dissipate and take a look. A tall white horse, a strong man more than six feet tall, with a shining sword pinned to his waist, the man took out a token: "I am the general of the dynasty, and I am arresting the imperial court criminals!" It seems that he has fled into the nearby mountains, I wonder what strange things have happened in our Manan Village recently?" That person was Qiao Chenpei.

Several old men and old ladies were about to kneel down in a trembling manner, but Qiao Chenpei hurriedly turned over and dismounted and held them one by one. "This group of court criminals has already burned and killed several remote villages! I hope you don't know about it and don't report it!" Qiao Chenpei pinched his hands to death, he didn't like to deceive others the most, but the time was tight and the incident involved a lot, and most people just wanted to gossip and eat three bowls of rice, so the most powerful thing was to spread rumors to scare them. Sure enough, the old men were frightened, and an old man preemptively said, "I can't remember the night of the other day." In the second half of the night, the village was like a running horse, and it was very noisy outside, and my two big yellow dogs barked fiercely!"

"Who said no, my son is a hunter, I got up in the morning and looked in the village to see that a group of people did come that night and walked in a hurry, it seems that they are going to the back mountain!" This group of old men and old ladies exploded the pot with nonsense, Qiao Chenpei thought about it, Lu Ziang said that he looked at the back mountain of Manan Village, and got the information just now, and it is true that there seems to be a group of people in this back mountain, what is the reason why Lu Ziang didn't let himself tell anyone?

"General, how many people are there in this group of court criminals? You can't succeed alone? If you fail, what will they do if they turn their anger to our Manan Village?" The old man said cautiously.

"Oh! Don't worry, I'm here to spy on the information first! If I really find something, I will definitely lead a large army to destroy it, and I won't startle the snake! Don't worry about the old people, as for their numbers! I don't know if they are separated or not, and how many people here are doing something in the back mountain! Maybe they have already left the back mountain! I have to go to the back mountain to see the specific situation, I don't know which direction the back mountain is?" Qiao Chenpei said in a bit of a panic.

"Follow this main road to the end, you will see two dirt roads, go to the left and go to the Dingjiazhai next to it, go to the right along the dirt road and you can see a big lake, where you can't run a horse to go!

Qiao Chenpei said goodbye to this group of fathers and elders, rode away, and sure enough, he saw two forks in the road, walked to the right all the way to the end, and saw a big blue lake, the lake was covered with tall reeds like a person, and there was a small bridge in the lake, and the horse could not cross it. Qiao Chenpei got off the horse, tied the horse to the side of the bridge, walked up the small bridge made of wood, crossed the bridge to the opposite bank, and went up the hill along the steps made of bluestones. Qiao Chenpei drew his sword, and from time to time stroked the green weeds and thorns that grew on the road next to him, Qiao Chenpei was also confused in his heart, sure it was here? The moss on the wooden bridge and steps showed that no one had walked this road here for a long time, could it be that Lu Ziang teased me? Qiao Chenpei walked for a long time, and suddenly there was a strange sound in the grass, Qiao Chenpei threw his sword and picked up a big stone and flew towards the grass, never thought that the big stone entered the grass and was bounced out and went straight to the front door, a sword light flashed and the big stone was split in two and fell backwards. With a whoosh, a man sprang out of the grass and came to his face with one hand in a palm. Qiao Chenpei threw his sword away, and when the two of them saw their faces clearly, they both unloaded their strength, "It's you!

"I should ask! If according to the order of the hall master, it should be the general who went to the barracks to train his troops, and did not hesitate to go to this barren mountain and wilderness against the order of that master? The Ghost-faced Monk straightened his mask.

"You don't have to worry about the matter between me and the hall master, what should I do, do I need to report to you one by one?" Qiao Chenpei flicked his sword, and stared at the ghost-faced monk with a dead look.

"Didn't the hall master let the general come to help you? The ghost-faced monk came to Qiao Chenpei's ear and said softly.

"Exactly!" Qiao Chenpei was stunned for a moment, and then took advantage of the situation.

"Let's go, General, those people are on the top of the mountain!"

It seems that this person's loyalty to the general is still evident, Qiao Chenpei followed while thinking. Both of them are experts in internal strength, and their foot strength is far beyond ordinary people, and the slippery and steep bluestone mountain road is like walking on the ground, which is getting faster and faster. After a while, I saw the top of the mountain, and suddenly heard the ghost-faced monk shouting to be careful, only to see two masked people jumping out from both sides, the ghost-faced monk pushed Qiao Chenpei away, the ghost-faced monk was hit by a palm and flew out, Qiao Chenpei hurriedly took it down, the ghost-faced monk's clothes seemed to be stained with thorns, a little stinging, Qiao Chenpei frowned. Qiao Chenpei put down the ghost-faced monk, stabbed the masked man on the right with a sword, only to see that the figure twisted, and disappeared into the grass again, Qiao Chenpei turned his eyes and saw that the masked man on the left also got into the grass, and there was a sound of rustling in the grass, and the sound spread farther and farther, and the two seemed to have run away.

"You're okay!" Qiao Chenpei helped the ghost-faced monk up.

"Don't get in the way, this thief has left, let's continue on our way!" The ghost-faced monk seemed to be okay and got up.

"Why don't we go down first? If we run into a few more thieves, we won't be able to deal with it!"

"Don't you know? It's our own people on the top of the mountain!

"Ahem, then I'll go ahead!" Qiao Chenpei rushed to the front, and didn't argue with the ghost-faced monk more, before he drove himself away, he took a look at what was going on the top of the mountain. After a few steps, he walked to the top of the mountain, Qiao Chenpei's eyebrows wrinkled into a figure, and he saw that there was a rough thatched house on the top of the mountain, which seemed to be improvised, and there were several dead soldiers in Tsing Yi standing at the door. Qiao Chenpei took a closer look, there were three people in the room, a man, a woman and a girl, looking like a family. The two female dependents were squatting on the bed, and there were two dead men in Tsing Yi holding knives standing next to the bed, and the man was holding a large piece of jade jade carving something, looking at the shape of the jade, was it not a jade seal? Qiao Chenpei suddenly felt dizzy, and he was upright at the moment, and those dead soldiers in Tsing Yi were also from Junzaitang.

"General Mo Qi! Borrow a step to speak!" The ghost-faced monk had already arrived, and when he saw Qiao Chenpei's expression, he pulled the corner of his clothes and motioned for him to go outside to talk.

Qiao Chenpei followed, he didn't speak yet, and he saw a person who was very familiar, and after his eyes focused for a while, he saw it clearly, hey, isn't this one of the old men who provide information at the entrance of the village, it is the way he pointed out to him, and the old man didn't dare to look this way.

"You...."Qiao Chenpei was about to say something, but was interrupted by the ghost-faced monk.

"General, look this way!" The ghost-faced monk pointed to a dirt road that led directly to the top of the mountain and spiraled up, and he could vaguely see Mananzhuang under the mountain, Qiao Chenpei knew that he was deceived by this old man, and took a long detour, no wonder all the traces on the road showed that no one had passed by this road.

"You... Result.... What's the purpose!" Qiao Chenpei said intermittently.

"Actually, the day we came, the people in this village knew that the daily grain, rice, meat and noodles were supplied by the villagers under the mountain, and we paid a lot of money, so I told the people in the village to lead him to the deserted road if anyone came to investigate, and then came to report to us!

"You.. Finally... Who is it!" Qiao Chenpei couldn't hold the sword in his hand and fell to the ground, Qiao Chenpei thought to himself What is wrong with me, I can't hold the sword.

"General, do you know why I kept urging you to hurry just now, I'm afraid that you won't see these things, and your death will not be in vain! I can't see your stunned face, but now it seems!Hahaha! You're really comfortable! You shouldn't be able to speak now, it seems that my cartilage nail is almost effective!" The ghost-faced monk looked happy, took out a very small silver needle from his sleeve and shook it in front of him.

"You...."Qiao Chenpei thought that his dizziness and incoherent words just now were all due to his own hot blood, and he didn't take a breath, but he never thought that he had been secretly poisoned just now.

"Bang!" The ghost-faced monk clapped his hands twice, and just two masked men came out of nowhere, set up Qiao Chenpei, and walked to the back of the thatched house, on the other side of the road, there was a cliff over there!

"Go all the way!General Qiao!I'm not far away!Hahaha!" The ghost-faced monk waved his hand, and Qiao Chenpei was thrown off the smoky cliff......
