Chapter 7: Bandits and Beasts
At the end of the feast, everyone had eaten their fill, and began to assign tasks. In the end, Yang Lin and Zhang Qing were arranged to be spies to investigate the movements of Liangshan, and the Zou uncle and nephew went to Shandong's old nest to move people, and Wu Song and Yan Qing returned to the Daimyo's mansion without mentioning it.
As for Ning Yufei and his party.
On April 22 of the second year of Hui Zongzhenghe, in the early hours of the morning.
The three were still asleep.
Suddenly, a faint flash of fire in the distance flickered, followed by several cuckoo calls. Suddenly, torches lit up all over the mountain, and shouts and footsteps rang out in unison, and the three of them woke up, and when they came back to their senses, they were already surrounded, and several minions had their knives hanging over their heads.
Ning Yufei knows this history very well and understands that the world is chaotic, but he has to admit that his fate is in a hurry, and he has encountered two waves of strongmen in just a few days. He wasn't afraid, but worried about the other two. He turned his eyes to look at the other two, Xiao Si and Yu Lianyi were just standing very casually, and they didn't look worried! Strange! You must know that Xiao Si is very timid, in his opinion, when encountering this situation, Xiao Si will directly kneel down and surrender. What's even more strange is Yu Lianyi, you must know that if a woman with an average appearance falls into the hands of these strongmen, it is better to live than to die! Not to mention the disaster that she has overwhelmed the country and the city, does she not have the consciousness of a beauty at all?
He didn't know that Xiao Si had already regarded him as a god, so naturally he was not afraid of anything, what kind of strong man, wasn't he just an ant in front of God? As for Yu Lianyi, of course, he also relied on it.
Ning Yufei didn't know what was going on, he was a little depressed, and simply looked at the strong people who were walking towards him.
The leader is a soap-clothed man with a wide forehead and broad eyebrows, holding a short-handled broadsword, and a fierce atmosphere.
"Report to the second king, harvest a white horse, but it looks thin. A strange bag was found, and a baggage was found inside. ”
A minion hands over a baggage.
A pair of big hands with knotted muscles stretched out, pinched the corner of the burden and shook it gently, and the contents were poured out one by one, and suddenly a piece of white flowers was reflected in the firelight!
The owner of the big hand trembled, this is at least a hundred taels of snowflake silver, and there is no need to go out of the mountain for another month!
The surrounding minions shouted.
Ning Yufei was also a little sluggish. In modern times, silver is denominated in grams, and there are at least a few catties here, and if you get it in modern times, isn't it at least a hundred thousand? Besides, it is still very ornamental to put so much silver in front of you at one time. Ning Yufei also looked at it with wide eyes, and he had lost his mind. The shock of money is still very powerful.
Suddenly, he felt the soft flesh on his waist tighten, and a burst of pain hit him, almost making Ning Yufei scream. At this time, Yu Lianyi's voice sounded in his ears.
"Hmph, it turns out that you are also a money fan, a shameless person! Those are my dowry, you have to protect me, if it is less, I will ~ pinch ~ death ~ you!"
Turning her head angrily, she saw Yu Lianyi showing a pitiful expression, and her eyes were even more tearful, this kind of expression and posture was extremely charming on her, but Ning Yufei felt a chill.
The strongman leader has already put away all the money. At this time, he was in a very good mood, and he had gone to the villa at the foot of the mountain tonight, and set a date for marriage with the daughter of the old owner of the villa, and it would be tomorrow night! The day was set, and he had another meal of wine, and he took a nap to return to the village. Just as he was about to speak, he happened to see Yu Lianyi's coquettish expression, and he was stunned.
This strongman leader has occupied this Peach Blossom Mountain for several years, and there are many women who have robbed it, but none of them can compare to half of Yu Lianyi's. Seeing the shy little beauty in front of him, the strongman leader felt that the ones he had met before were not women at all! The most beautiful woman he had seen before was the daughter of Jin Taigong, that is, the woman he was about to marry.
The leader of the strongman stared at Yu Lianyi, his heart was full of * and satisfaction, if he could have such a stunning color, even if he gave me the emperor to change it, I would not change it!
The strongman leader slowly approached the trio. Yu Lianyi approached Ning Yufei, but Ning Yufei was trying to see what the woman who called herself "fairy" had any support, so she hurriedly pulled Xiao Si who was blocking the side, hid aside, and let Yu Lianyi out. Seeing this scene, the strongman leader nodded with satisfaction. Coming forward to sing, the strongman leader said.
"The lady is polite, Xiaosheng's surname is Zhou Mingtong, he is the first hero in this radius of dozens of miles, and he is known as 'Little Overlord' on the rivers and lakes, this is polite!"
's words are nondescript, and it's also a shame that he can say it.
"Hahahaha, you, you talk so funny, what kind of little student, and 'this is polite', is this going to get married or go on a blind date?"
The little minions were all coaxing, but Yu Lianyi, the heroine, suddenly burst out laughing, and the audience quieted down when she said something.
Zhou Tong was angry. He had a bad temper, although he saw a peerless beauty, but in his eyes, women were just playthings, and the result was to get bed, what method was not used? At first, he was in a good mood before he wanted to be "gentle", but he didn't expect the other party to be ignorant and sneering, and he couldn't listen to cynicism.
"All tied up, escorted back. ”
Dropping the cold voice, Zhou Tong turned around and left, his good mood was gone, and he planned to go back to sleep first.
Suddenly, a green light appeared in the mountain forest, and a few flashes came between the people, and before everyone could react, there was another flicker, and the crowd erupted into screams.
From the appearance of the green light, to the beginning of the moan, it was just the blink of an eye.
What is this? What is this speed?
When he came back to his senses, Ning Yufei found that the seven or eight little minions around him had fallen to the ground, they were curled up, moaning, and their voices were full of pain. Their bodies were covered in scratches that looked like marks from the claws of animals.
Ning Yufei and Xiao Si each picked up a big knife on the ground, back to back, and slowly moved to Yu Lianyi's side. There were less than thirty people in Zhou Tong and his entourage, and seven or eight people fell to the ground in an instant, and less than twenty people remained, looking at each other and trembling. Zhou Tong had already walked more than ten steps, and he was more than ten meters away from Ning Yufei and the others, only then did he realize that the situation was wrong. After all, it was Lao Jianghu, he reacted quickly and yelled.
"In groups of three, back to back, with a focus on defense. The enemy is fast but not very attackable, so pay attention to the key points of defense!"
Since this is the side of the mountain road, there is a large mountain forest on the left side of the mountain road, there is a big ridge on the right, and there is a flat land below.
From here, to the right, there is a field as far as the eye can see, and with the early summer sky, you can see the enemy at a glance. Therefore, Zhou Tong's eyes have been staring at the mountains and forests on the left side of the road.
However, the green light lit up again, and before everyone, including Zhou Tong and Ning Yufei, could react, a series of screams rang out one after another. After a flash of green light, seven or eight more people fell. Zhou Tong couldn't hold his breath anymore, and beckoned the rest of the people to gather together, his martial arts were not weak, and he had already seen clearly what was attacking them.
"It's a turquoise tanuki, only a foot long, it's fast, we can't run, we can only defend!"
Zhou Tong was no longer in the mood to think about beauties at this time, although he was lustful, he was very good at doing things.
Ning Yufei and the three people on the other side were not attacked, but Ning Yufei also saw the green civet cat clearly. I saw that it was about 30cm long, and it was dragging a fluffy broom tail almost the same length as its body, its bright blue eyes were shining green, and its turquoise fur was also shining. Overall, it looks like a little fox carved from turquoise crystal.
Ning Yufei was fascinated, you must know that there is no such animal in modern times. He was sure that such a perfect and lovely animal, if it were in modern times, would definitely become a woman's favorite, husband, lover or something, and he knew that once those women bloomed, they would do everything that stunned men.
Zhou Tong is not as calm and leisurely as Ning Yufei, half of the men he brought out have fallen, and the rest have no fighting spirit, he is very angry, he pulled out a soft whip from his waist, more than a foot long, and shook slightly, the long whip danced out a few waves, and ploughed a few whip marks on the ground.
Ning Yufei's eyes froze.
On the first day of this era, he was caught by the two leaders of Liangshan and almost chopped into buns, although he knew that it was a problem of the times, but he couldn't help but have a bad feeling for the heroes of Liangshan. This time, Zhou Tong directly blocked the robbery, robbed the property and robbed the sex, which made him very unhappy.
But what makes him even more unhappy is that this kind of person is written as a hero in the novel!
However, Zhou Tong in the novel does not use a whip, which shows that the real history may not be the same as described in the novel! In this case, I have to find out the real history and restore the real history, as a historian, this is the greatest happiness!
Thinking of this, Ning Yufei's heart was happy, and he had found a deeper meaning to live in this era. Originally, he just had the idea that what came would be safe, and he planned to visit various ancient capitals and record them to leave a little real historical facts for future generations, but now, he wants to revise and distort and change all the false history!
On the side of the mountain road, the green light reappeared, causing the eight people to fall down and groan again, and then disappear into the mountain forest. At this time, the people who fell at the beginning were no longer moving, and Zhou Tong carefully looked at the wounds of those people and found that they were not poisoned, but just slept. Zhou Tong frowned, knowing that the claws of this tanuki could anesthetize people, and the person with the middle claws was like being drunk. He hadn't even touched a tanuki with his whip in the attack just now, and he had never seen an animal so fast, so he would have to be wiped out like this.
Suddenly, a minion next to him stopped him.
"Second King, you see that those three people have not been attacked, could this ghost be their group?"
When Zhou Tong heard this, he saw that the three of them really did not have the slightest trace of scratches, and immediately ordered.
"Brethren, let's go and grab them and let that little thing throw a rat. ”
Saying that, a group of people started to move, and seeing them approaching, Ning Yufei and the three of them were not worried, but just paid attention to the direction of the green fox. After a few times, Ning Yufei had already decided that it was a little fox.
Zhou Tong and a group of people walked cautiously, for fear of startling the little monster out, only a foot away from them. At this time, the little fox struck again.
Looking at the fallen figures around him, Zhou Tong went crazy. He was naturally short-tempered and couldn't stand it, so how could he think he would be so aggrieved? Immediately, the long whip flew out, like a silver snake dancing wildly. From time to time, the whip slashed across the ground, or struck a fallen minion, causing a groan.
The long whip had already fallen in front of Ning Yufei, Zhou Tong was only one zhang away from him just now, and the long whip was enough to reach him. He clutched the big knife he had picked up, and stared at the silver snake flying in front of him. The internal force of the triple "Tiangang Sutra" was poured into the knife and met the whip that rushed in the face.
"Bang!"
The two collided, making a dull sound, and a gust of wind rose on the spot, blowing up the mud and sand on the ground, which looked very hazy in the gray sky.
"Pedal Pedal ~~"
Ning Yu took three steps back, and the knife in his hand was also missing.
"Neiqi!"
Yu Lianyi on the side saw it clearly, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
The green light flashed again. Ning Yufei reacted quickly, pushed Xiao Siyi aside, and when he rescued Yu Lianyi, he hesitated. He was still very suspicious of this woman, and by feeling, he felt uncomfortable every time he approached her. It was at this moment that the green light passed, and Yu Lianyi disappeared along with the green light.
There was only a faint fragrance left in the air.
Only then did the smoke and dust disappear, and Zhou Tong was scratched all over his body, and he was already asleep on the ground.
Xiao Si stood up, patted the dust on his body, and looked around for traces of the fairy. In the past few days, Yu Lianyi has always chatted with them without a match, Xiaosi is simple, and explained everything about herself, Ning Yufei didn't believe her, she was just perfunctory along the way, more slippery than a loach, and Yu Lianyi had nothing to do about it. But Xiao Si didn't treat Yu Lianyi as an outsider, and always called out the fairy long and the fairy short.
Originally, Xiao Si was very disdainful of this group of strongmen, in his opinion, that green light was the "immortal method" used by Ning Yufei, a living immortal, and as for the rest, it was Ning Yufei's own play to hide his identity.
Thinking about it like this, he felt at ease.
But Yu Lianyi is gone, and he is no longer calm, and he can't be calm.
"Boss, what about the fairy, why did you make the fairy disappear?"
Ning Yufei also began to doubt his judgment. At the last moment, if he didn't hesitate, he would definitely be able to save Yu Lianyi. However, a trace of suspicion, a trace of hesitation, made him miss this opportunity. He quickly reacted and ran towards the mountains and forests, that is, in the direction where the green light disappeared. Xiao Si hurriedly followed.
The mountains and forests are not dense, and the mountain roads are not rugged, and the two of them ran for a long time, but they did not catch the figure of the green fox. The two had already reached the mountainside. They had long since left the trail up the mountain and entered the forest. The sky was already very bright, and a small half of the sun could already be seen on the horizon.
When Ning Yufei and the two were still looking around, on the other side of the mountain, about five miles away from Ning Yufei, the green light flashed and disappeared, and the figure of the little fox was revealed for the first time, next to Yu Lianyi, who was "taken away", I saw Yu Lianyi gently stroking the little fox's head, but the little fox showed a look of enjoyment, and his expression was very humane.
This is the sunny side of the mountain, and there are few of them, mostly meadows and bushes, but not far below are dense peach trees. The mountain is called Peach Blossom Mountain, and it is named because the peach trees at the foot of the mountain are full of bright peach blossoms every spring, paving the entire mountain into a world of peach blossoms.
"Xiaobi, where is my sister?"
Yu Lianyi looked very happy, and even her voice at this time changed a little, no longer the usual coquettishness, in addition to still being crisp, but also a little magnetic.
"Squeak squeak~~~"
The little fox screamed, and at the same time stretched out his little paws and pointed towards the peach forest below, this action is even more cute!
"Great, I haven't seen my sister in a long time, let's go find her!"
"Squeak!"
The little fox jumped on her shoulder, her long nose twitched, her big mouth bent upward, and she was actually laughing!
Ning Yufei would definitely go crazy if he watched this scene, he would definitely ask, is this still a normal world?
In the depths of the peach forest, Yu Lianyi saw the beautiful shadow. The morning glow was rising, and there was still some mist in the forest, and the beauty shadow looked very hazy in the mist, and only a few figures could be outlined. But just looking at the posture, it is also like a frightening wave, graceful like a dragon, slim, well-proportioned, an increase of one point is long, a decrease of one point is short, words can no longer describe this beauty.
When the little fox saw this figure, he jumped from Yu Lianyi's shoulder to Liying's arms, and squeaked happily.
Liying also stretched out her jade hand to caress the little fox.
"Sister. ”
"How?"
The sound is like a pearl falling into a jade plate, and it is like a fairy plucking the strings outside the sky, turning into a song, and turning people gracefully.
"Sister, your feeling is really right, the blue light, so pure, is indeed the power of 'Yu'. However, he shouldn't have awakened his Gu ability yet. Isn't it a little longer, how can I say that it will take a while to awaken, what the master explained......"
"No, now is the best time, if you awaken, with the strength of the space Gu, once it grows up, I can't suppress it at all, even now, even if it succeeds, it may not be able to leave his life. Alas......"
"Sister, you are just too kind, have we ever hurt others? It's not a mermaid's flesh! Now we are burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, if we don't strengthen our strength, then when will we be able to take revenge! If it becomes a big thing, we must be informal, and besides, his kind of personality is impossible to survive in this world, so it is better to let him be freed. ”
Yu Lianyi's face was a little hideous for a while, and her voice was also cold.
"Well, I see. Then, just go according to the plan, and you tell me some details first. ”
Yu Lianyi and her sister walked to the stone table under a peach tree and began to tell about the things she had learned about Ning Yufei and Xiao Si these days and some details.
It's dawn.
Ning Yufei and Xiaosi searched for nearly two hours, walked up from the mountainside to the end, and saw a big village, but when they saw a lot of people, they didn't dare to alarm, and retreated. The two found the peach forest under the mountainside, and knew that they were weak, so they rested under the peach tree.
Xiao Si chattered about the fairy along the way, which made Ning Yufei very impatient, but when she thought that one of her thoughts had hurt her, she had to listen to it in a swallowed voice.
Suddenly, Ning Yufei's ears moved, signaling Xiao Si not to make a sound, and he heard a slight voice, like a human voice. The two of them tiptoed in the direction from which the voice came.
The two walked through a dense peach forest, turned a corner, and saw a peach blossom dock, a beauty, and a little fox as crystal as jasper in her arms playing, contrasting with each other.
Ning Yufei felt his heart flutter violently.
Yu Lianyi was the same beautiful in the past, but the feeling she brought Ning Yufei was completely different from now. Looking at her now, Ning Yufei no longer feels hairy, but truly pleasing to the eye.
"It seems that I really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and now that I have figured it out, I only feel her beauty. ”
Ning Yufei sighed in his heart, when he first came to this world, his vigilance was too strong, and he didn't want to believe it when he met anyone, it was Xiaosi, and it was also because of his low martial arts that he was relieved to let him follow him.
Looking at Xiao Si again, he was already a little shaky, as if he was drunk, and it seemed that he had hit the "fairy's * array".
"That's?"
Ning Yufei's gaze fell on the little fox.
"Oh, this is Xiaobi, we're already good friends, it's a Aoki fox. ”
"Aoki Fox? What is that? I haven't heard of it!"
"Oh, Aoki Fox is my name, because Xiaobi looks as green as Aoki, so I named it Aoki Fox, what, you are not satisfied, do you have any opinions?"
Yu Lianyi pursed her mouth.
Ning Yufei was moved again, he himself was very strange, could it be that he was really moved by her? No, he didn't feel this way before. Ning Yufei felt strange in his heart, and turned his mind to suppress his thoughts fiercely.
"No, no, you can do anything. Well, oh, by the way, the strongman just robbed your dowry, aren't you in a hurry to get it back?"
"Didn't you get it back? Didn't Xiaobi get rid of that group of people? You guys are so useless!"
Yu Lianyi's eyes widened and she said dissatisfiedly.
"That's all the money I have, and now the three of us are destitute, now, hmph, I can trust you. I haven't eaten breakfast at such a late hour, so go ahead and make it for me!"
"Do you want to eat braised fox?"
Ning Yufei said narrowly.
"Get out, get it ready!"
Yu Lian was coquettish, different from her usual calm appearance.
The little fox glared at Ning Yufei and grinned at him, and he immediately returned the color.
In the end, Ning Yufei and Xiao Si compromised and found some early-ripening mountain fruits, Ning Yufei caught a pheasant, which was made into tender barbecue by Xiao Si.
The three of them shared breakfast, ate and chatted, and Yu Lianyi recounted what happened after she was arrested
