For the first time, Gao Jie felt that the feeling of reappearing in the light and seeing the light was so beautiful, so surprising and exciting, although this group of people were all people who had practiced martial arts for many years and were determined, but at this moment they couldn't help but feel fluctuating.

After Xiong Zhaoqi rushed out of the hole, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and roared in the sky, venting his long-suppressed fear and depression.

At this moment, it was almost dusk, and it turned out that nearly three and a half hours had passed from the time they entered the cave to the time they came out of the mountain. The feeling of helplessness of navigating a cramped, stuffy space for a long time, full of uncertainty about the road ahead and not knowing where the end is, is truly maddening. However, after experiencing it for the first time, I believe that the next time they go on this stone cave trip, it will be much better, at least they have the bottom of their hearts, and they will no longer feel so hopeless and unknown.

Wang Rui sat on a mountain rock, looked back at the black cave entrance, and said with deep feelings: "When I first walked through this stone cave, I was six years old, I remember that time I cried because I was scared, and then I fell asleep when I was tired of crying, and I was basically carried through the stone cave by my father!"

Ji Longfeng asked, "Why don't you take the avenue?"

Wang Rui said gloomily: "At that time, the relationship between our Jurchen and the Ming Dynasty was good and bad, and the border jurisdiction was very strict, my father was still an ordinary trader at that time, in order to let my younger brother and I receive a good Han education and learn the superior martial arts of the Central Plains, we sent our two brothers to the Central Plains from this stone cave, and entrusted it to a friend that my grandfather met when he was doing business, that is, our teacher. After that, my father became the lord of Tulum, and my brother and I followed his guards through the cave to visit his old man. ”

Everyone knew Wang Rui's life experience, and they didn't want to mention his sadness, so they didn't continue to ask.

Luo Sigong walked up to Xiong Zhaoqi, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zhaoqi, this time is good, it is very rare to be able to persist tenaciously, I believe that after this test, your will will be more determined!"

Xiong Zhaoqi had already recovered his strength at this time, and when he remembered the scene when he was about to collapse before, he couldn't help but blush on his face.

After a quarter of an hour's rest, they set out again.

After passing through the Longevity Mountain, there is a vacuum, where the villages and towns are almost uninhabited, full of wilderness and weeds, and the appearance of devastation after the war. Gao Jie and the others traveled all the way for about half an hour, but they didn't see a single person.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and everyone was so hungry that they gurgled and screamed, and they still couldn't see the place to eat, so they had to turn out the big cakes they carried in their bags, and they didn't care about the cold and unpalatable, and filled their stomachs like they did in a stone cave at noon.

Seeing that he had come to a black mountain again, Wang Rui said loudly: "Bypass this mountain, and you will soon arrive at Guangning City, everyone work hard!"

Seeing that although the mountain was high, it did not occupy a large area, and it was estimated that it would take half an hour to go around along the foot of the mountain, and the morale increased greatly, and the sense of exhaustion decreased slightly, so they urged the horses to gallop together.

After walking for about half a mile, they heard the sound of a gong ringing gold, and countless torches suddenly lit up in the mountains and forests in front of them, dotted with stars, and quickly rushed towards their group.

"Be careful! I'm afraid we're in the hands of bandits!" Luo Sigong frowned slightly, but his tone was very calm.

When encountering bandits in such a three-way place, the big guys did not feel strange, let alone afraid, and with the skills of their group, they could not tell who would rob whom! Therefore, everyone only raised their vigilance slightly, and did not panic.

In a matter of moments, a group of about 100 men blocked them at the foot of the mountain, the only passage.

This group of people, dressed in the clothes of ordinary Ming people, clothes of all kinds, messy, tattered, at first sight is a group of rabble, but their heads are all wrapped in turbans, under the light of torches, showing that they are all white. There were three people at the head, all riding horses, the middle man had a big waist and a round waist, and he was about forty years old, and he was about forty years old, and the two of them fell slightly, about thirty years old, each carrying a short knife, and their heads were also wrapped in white turbans.

When Gao Jie saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart: "I've heard of the Yellow Turban Army and the Red Turban Army, but now I saw the White Turban Army, could it be that these guys are trying to see a bad opportunity, just in case of accidents, so that they can raise the white flag and surrender?"

The man who was the leader urged him to step forward and shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to fight here, and leave it to buy road money!"

When Dahan shouted this slogan with no new ideas, Gao Jie also pronounced it word for word with his shout, which immediately caused Ji Longfeng and the others to laugh.

Seeing that this group of people was not only not afraid, but also laughed insolently, the big man suddenly became angry, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted coldly: "It seems that you guys who don't know whether to live or die really don't want to live anymore!"

Luo Sigong stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop, Wang Ruice immediately took a few steps forward, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what you are doing to stop us and others?"

Seeing that Wang Rui was majestic and one size bigger than himself, the big man couldn't help but gasp, and only replied after a while: "You reckless man asked a strange question, haven't you ever seen a robbery?"

Wang Rui smiled slightly and said: "Now that Daming and Dajin are waiting for each other, maybe they will meet each other at any time, and a group of people like you dare to rob here?!

The big man was stunned, and then said: "I can't survive, so naturally I can only fight!

Wang Rui continued to ask: "Are you from the Ming Dynasty or from the Jin Kingdom?"

Dahan said: "Naturally, he is a man of the Ming Dynasty." Alas, I said, why are you asking me what I am doing?! Tell me, who are you, where are you going, where are you going?"

Wang Rui smiled again: "What are you doing with these robbers?"

The big man was stunned again, yes, what's the use of robbing asking these things, just rob it, then the leader on his left shouted angrily: "Boy, dare to tease the king of my family, look at the knife!"

Wang Rui didn't dodge, his face didn't change, and he raised his right arm to meet the short knife. In the night sky, only a crisp sound of "dang" was heard, and the short knife of the leader came out of his hand, flew high, and was shocked by Wang Rui in one move. Under the light of the torch, everyone saw clearly that Wang Rui was wearing a metal arm guard on his right forearm, which wrapped the entire forearm, so he didn't even use a weapon, and directly blocked the knife with the arm guard.

The little leader's arm was numb from the shock, and he couldn't lift the slightest strength, and his crotch couldn't bear the huge force, and he neighed and retreated again and again, quite embarrassed.

The big man led by him was surprised in his heart, knowing that this tower-like strong man was born with divine power and was invincible, and he was about to call his subordinates to besiege, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind Gao Jie and others, and soon, another horse team appeared in everyone's sight.

When the horse team came to the place where the two sides confronted, Gao Jie's eyes narrowed, and he found an acquaintance among them.

The leader of this horse team was a fat old man with gray hair and beard, dressed in satin, and he knew at a glance that he was a rich and noble person, he had a smile on his face, and he didn't look at Gao Jie and the others, so he walked between them, came to the big leader of the bandits, hugged his fists and smiled: "General Huang, meet again!"

When the big man saw this fat old man, he hesitated for a moment, and then he also smiled and said: "It turned out that it was the king's shopkeeper, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon! You are really diligent in running business, no wonder you can make a fortune!"

The fat old man smiled and said: "Where, where, thanks to General Huang's care, Wang's business journey is smooth, and while there has been no war recently, he will hurry up and run again after going back!" As he spoke, he approached the big man and stuffed him with a silver ticket without a trace.

The big man didn't look at the denomination of the silver ticket, and laughed loudly: "With the support of a giant like the king's shopkeeper, we can be fed and clothed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are our food and clothing parents!

The shopkeeper smiled and said to the big man: "Thank you, General Huang, Wang has taken his leave!" After that, he waved to his horse team behind him and wanted to leave.

At this time, I heard Gao Jie shouting: "Oh, isn't this Wang Chengming's shopkeeper?!"

Wang Chengming took advantage of the light of the torch, looked at it for a while, and recognized the young man in front of him, and immediately smiled and hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be the high son of Pang Ji Firm, alas, it is indeed too coincidental!"

It turned out that this fat old man was none other than Wang Chengming, the head of Wang Ji Firm, the second-ranked giant in Puzhou, Shanxi. The first time Gao Jie and Wang Chengming met was in the Hongluan Hall of the Gujia Casino, when Gao Jie beat him and another Puzhou giant businessman, Wu Siyuan, and humiliated the deacon Qingyun of the Gujia Casino. Later, when the Pang Ji firm opened, Gao Jie specially invited all the officials and wealthy businessmen in Puzhou to attend, including this Wang Chengming, and after learning that Gao Jie had a deep background and extraordinary strength, Wang Chengming and other Puzhou giants were all human spirits, so they naturally made friends and frequently showed goodwill. Before Gao Jie left Puzhou, not only Wang became famous, but also the ancient family, which had a lot of festivals before, also went into harmony with Pang Ji Firm, and they were like a family.

Gao Jie had suspicions when he saw this group of robbers, these people seemed to be untidy and scattered, but in fact, they were all strong and strong, and they did not look like ordinary bandits composed of a group of homeless people, after he told Luo Sigong and Zong Qing the suspicions, the two of them also nodded in agreement, so they let Wang Rui step forward to test it, and they carefully observed in the back. Later, when Wang Chengming's horse team appeared, and heard him shouting "General Huang" again and again, Gao Jie confirmed his thoughts, and immediately had an idea, and when Wang Chengming and others were about to leave, they immediately went out to greet him.

After Wang Chengming and Gao Jie exchanged pleasantries, he suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but ask nervously in a low voice: "Gao Gongzi, who are you?"

Gao Jie squeezed his eyes at him and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, we are all for a common purpose, so we don't need to be picky, right?"

When Wang Chengming heard this, he smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes! It's all here, what else can I do for it! Everyone gets rich, everyone gets rich!"

At this time, the big man named "General Huang" also came to them, and asked Wang Chengming suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Wang, do you know these people?!"

Wang Chengming hurriedly replied: "General Wang, this is Gao Gongzi, one of the shopkeepers of our famous Pang Ji firm in Puzhou, and our firms are all in the same city, so we are naturally very familiar with each other!"

When the "General Huang" heard this, his face became calmer, and he bowed his hand to Gao Jie: "It turns out that you are also big merchants from Puzhou, and the last general Huang Debiao is rude!"

Gao Jie pretended to be puzzled and looked at Wang Chengming suspiciously, Wang Chengming hurriedly introduced when he saw this: "General Huang is a guerrilla general in charge of patrolling the front line of the Dajin Kingdom, and the card is set up here to strictly prevent the fine work from mixing into the Dajin Kingdom, but he has always treated us merchants with courtesy, so I am grateful for waiting for a good life!"

Gao Jie "suddenly realized", and hurriedly smiled and said: "It turned out to be General Huang, the boy Gao Jie is polite!" After speaking, he bullied Huang Debiao, put his arm on his shoulder, and privately stuffed a silver ticket to him. So, in the stunned eyes of Ji Longfeng and the others, they saw the big leader of the bandits and Gao Jie, who were still tense just now, hooking their shoulders and backs, and they became like brothers in an instant.
