Chapter 44: Beidou Cottage
Everyone suddenly became nervous, and looked at Butu's gaze, and sure enough, in the dense and dense woods, there were faintly many people and horses walking quietly, and they saw that these horses were dressed like the green forest figures of the Wuthering Mountains, they carried swords and swords, spears and spears, and cats bent over, and their steps were light, as if they were outflanking a flat open space in the woods.

Jiang Shuyuan hurriedly whispered to everyone, "Everyone, quickly dismount and order someone to lead the horses to the side, so as not to alarm those people, and see who they are?"
Everyone dismounted one after another, and Meng Di ordered someone to lead all the horses to a distance and hide, everyone crouched down among the rocks in the ridge valley and quietly observed the movement in the woods, Jian Nanhong's eyes were sharp, and he shouted in a low voice, "It's not good, it's the people and horses of the North Taihang Mountain Leaning on the Tianzhai, the fire-eyed yin and yang monkeys, and the rattlesnakes that stir up the forest are among them." β
Butu answered, "The people and horses of Yitianzhai are quietly ambushing here, there must be some conspiracy, and it must be unfavorable to Beidou Village." β
Jiang Shuyuan snorted coldly and said, "Don't panic, let's wait and see what tricks Yitianzhai has, if Beidou Village is in danger, it's not too late for us to come to the rescue." β
Many people and horses in Yitianzhai quietly ambushed around the woods, leaving only a few people and horses to stay in the open space of Pingao, as if waiting for the people of Beidou Village, this side of Pingao is the main road to Beidou Village, Jiang Shuyuan, Jian Nanhong They are not familiar with the terrain path, they deviated from the road, and when they go to the mountain range next to the Pingao clearing, if they take the right road, they will meet with the people and horses of Yitianzhai.
These horses are really the people and horses of the North Taihang Mountain Yitianzhai, the five heroes of the sky are standing in the middle of the Pingao clearing, a few minions stay aside, in fact, this Pingao open space is called Woma Ling, for the main passage to the main peak of Taihang Mountain, there is a huge flat land outside the Woma Ridge, which is tall and steep in the mountain, very dangerous.
The second village master of the five heroes of Yitian is the "fire-eyed yin and yang monkey" Gou Su, the fourth village master is "blood butterfly" Qiao Siniang, the fifth village master is "stirring the forest rattlesnake" Guan Taiyuan, Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shu wishes they know, the other two village owners they don't know, a stout man, round waist and broad shoulders, tall and mighty, full of cheeks and sideburns, murderous, but the top of the head is slightly bald, the loose hair is a little curly, brownish yellow, holding a spear more than six feet long, this person is the head of the five heroes of Yitian' Golden Retriever 'Sealed Tiger, another five big and three thick, muscles stiff, eyes showing fierce light, unkempt sideburns, a heavy ghost head single knife in his hand, he is the third of the five male 'ghost knife pangolin' Niu Meng, both of them are open and green, bare chest, chest dense with a layer of murderous cover gall hair, fierce and intimidating.
About half an hour later, the main peak behind the mountain sounded a rapid sound of horses' hooves, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen male horses stayed in front of the five heroes of the sky, the riders have stepped off the carved saddle, the leader is the three leaders of the Beidou Zhai Beidou three heroes of the head of the 'shaking lion' Gu Shangwu, thirteen leopards are also behind it, there is another man, the tiger body Huaiwu, the tendons are solid, the swallow forehead is full, thick eyebrows and round eyes, the divine light is shining, the strong clothes are biased, and he is holding a stainless steel survey fork of water grinding black light, he is the second master of the three heroes of the Big Dipper' Patrol Mountain Taibao' Hao Yunpeng, the Beidou Sanjie dismounted and stopped, and their subordinates immediately led all the mounts and horses to the back.
The two sides are tense, stalemate and opposite, which also forms a sharp contrast, the five heroes of Yitian are strange, fierce and savage, the three heroes of the Beidou are mighty and arrogant, and the heroic spirit is soaring, and the stalemate is momentary, and the leader of the Beidou Village, Gu Shangwu, arches his hands and hugs his fists; β
Feng Xuanhu, the leader of Yitianzhai, "Hey, hey," laughed twice, and also hugged his fists and saluted back;" The three main owners of Beidou Village came according to the agreement, and it was really refreshing, borrowing the treasure of Guizhai to speak, and the Ming people did not do dark things, and the purpose of the brother's visit this time has been detailed in the letter, in a word, that is, we want to join forces with Guizhai to form an alliance and jointly seek hegemony. β
Gu Shangwu shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Gu someone is short-sighted, ignorant and slow, there is a mountain foothold that is already sufficient, there is no other non-share, the good intentions of the lord of the village Gu have thanked him." β
Gou Su took the opportunity to stand up and said, "The ancient village master is a person who understands people, and it must not be a thing in the pool, do you want to lie dormant in the grass for a lifetime, and spend the remnants of the body, in fact, as long as the two of us are in the cottage alliance, the capital and silver fees are sent to the village, and the village can recruit troops and buy horses, enrich the army, and then the two of us will be strong and strong, and go west to take Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province, and enter the Hebei Jizhong Plain in the east, and win the Central Plains after the deer. β
Gu Shangwu glanced at him with slanted eyes, and suddenly laughed, his voice vibrated Siye, and after laughing, he snorted coldly, "If the master of Gou Erzhai talks about it again, someone Gu will also be indifferent, there is a way that is different, and there is no conspiratorship," After speaking, he no longer bothered with him, and turned to Fengxuan Hudao;"If the owner of the village is willing to appreciate his face, please talk about the cottage, Gu someone has a big bowl of wine and a big bowl of meat hospitality, if he refuses to appreciate his face, Gu someone will say goodbye, and there will be a period later." β
How could Gou Su stand the contempt of Gu Shangwu, he was angry, and said in a strange tone: "The surname Gu, do you really not accept the sincere good intentions of our village? You are arrogant, self-proclaimed and high-minded, disdain to be in the company of our village, you just look down on our village?"
Gu Shangwu smiled frankly and replied, "What do you think about Gou Erzhai, that's the matter of your second village master, Gu doesn't mean that, besides, let's gather together in the mountains and forests around the neighbors, we are already together, but Guizhai has great ambitions and wants to make a difference, and I am content with the status quo and have no ambitions." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop-" Gou Su screamed, seeing Gu Shangwu stop and turn around, he had a somewhat smug look on his face, and continued with compassion, "Since the master of the ancient village has come here, he will go back to the cottage!"
Gu Shangwu stopped, turned his head to look at him, and sneered, "The second master of Gou wants to threaten Gu?"
The thirteen leopards also couldn't help but sneer beside him, "The leper monkey is really a toad yawning, what a big breath, the leopard master is so scared!"
Gou Su's blood-red eyes rolled up, looked at the sky and continued, "If the ancient village master agrees to the alliance at this time, it will be treated as if nothing happened, and Gou's previous conditions must be fulfilled, otherwise the three village owners are afraid that they will be thrown here, and at the same time, the people and horses of our village will immediately capture the Beidou Peak of Guizhai, and the sovereign of the ancient village will weigh the pros and cons?"
Gu Shangwu raised his eyebrows, his lion's eyes breathed fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that Guizhai's delusion of wanting to annex our village has never stopped, surnamed Gou, you have not settled the account with you for setting up a scam in Luoyang City to frame the owner of this village, what the hell are you making here today? It seems that the account should be settled well," Speaking of this, he suddenly turned to Fengxuan Tiger Dao; " The owner of the village, the owner of the village has always respected you as a man, and we two villages coexist, but also formed a natural angle of leaning on the momentum, the official army only has scruples, Guizhai has repeatedly calculated the owner of the village and the village, what is the reason? The owner of the village should take a sentence to come out and say. β
Feng Xuanhu smiled treacherously, and bowed his hand and said, "The subordinates are reckless, inconsiderate, offending the ancient village master, Feng is here to apologize for the crime, the ancient village master does not have to be with them in general, in fact, Feng is also very admiring the ancient village master, my second brother's words are not false at all, the words are ugly, what a big deal, Feng is naturally worried about the ancient village owner, as long as our two villages work together to form an alliance, we can ensure that the village is rich for life." β
Gu Shangwu Zhenyan sternly refused: "The matter of the alliance is not to be discussed, and it is easy to say that it is easy to say that the grievances of the owner of the village are not investigated, but the main owner of the village affirms that it is not that the village is afraid of Guizhai, but from the perspective of the overall situation, I don't want our two villages to lose and be injured, and the officials and soldiers will benefit from the fisherman, so I will say it all and say goodbye!"
Gou Su gave Niu Meng a look, Niu Meng understood, took a few steps forward, shook the ghost head single knife in his hand, and roared, "If you want to go back to the village, leave your life!" He is nicknamed 'Ghost Knife Pangolin', his horizontal flesh is rough and thick, as strong as pangolin scale armor, and a ghost head and a single knife haunt the motter bush, vertical and horizontal Taihang green forest, the ghost of the knife road is fleeting, insidious and strange, violent by nature, Ru Mao drinks blood, Taihang Mountain heard his name, even children dare not cry at night.
As soon as he jumped out and roared, he also angered Hao Yunpeng, the owner of the second village of Beidou Village, the 'Patrol Mountain Taibao', and at that moment Hao Yunpeng also waved the Sky Patrol Fork in his hand to meet Niu Meng's ghost head single knife, and scolded angrily in his mouth, "Da Manniu, can you keep the masters? Hao Ye has long wanted to teach you a lesson. β
The survey fork is about six feet long, cast by iron and steel, the weight is heavy, the front end of the fork has two sharp teeth, there are two rings hanging from the junction of the tooth and the fork rod, and it dances up to 'jingle', it is a heavy weapon in the eighteen kinds of weapons, the ghost head is three feet and four inches with a single knife, and the front end of the blade is charming, eerie and terrifying, the fork and knife collide, the spark flashes, the sound cracks and deafnesses, and the two fierce men are murderous, and each has the ability to live his life.
Seeing this, Gu Shangwu also pulled out the single knife of the glaive from his back, the cold light swam, and he did not answer, and rose up more and more vertically and went straight to the sealing tiger, the sealing tiger rotated and moved away, avoiding the knife momentum of the split, shaking the spear in his hand, the red tassel floated away, and went straight to Gu Shangwuzha, his long-haired shovel is also a heavy weapon, up to eight feet, the spear shaft is cast in cooked copper, and the front end is decorated with red tassels as an ornament, the spear edge is one foot long and twisted by a python, but it is made of steel, the whole spear is heavy and sharp, extremely powerful, and the long-range killing power is particularly strong.
The thirteen leopards also pulled out a pair of heavenly painting halberds from behind their backs, and shouted at the 'Forest Stirring Rattlesnake' Guan Taiyuan, "Fart rotten tail snake, come out quickly, the leopard master is going to break your little arms and legs today." β
Guan Taiyuan was so angry that he screamed, and immediately waved the serpentine wind cone to fight with the thirteen leopards.
The six village owners are fighting together, only to see the light of the weapons flying, colliding from time to time, sparks splashing, the collision of weapons and the shouting sound of each other ups and downs, constantly strong wind blowing, air waves are wildly discharged, the dust is flying, the sky is full of weapons flashing, the cold light is dazzling, and it is impossible to tell who is who.
Jiang Shuyuan in the woods on the opposite mountain ridge, Jian Nanhong and the others saw that the two sides had already started to move, Jiang Shuyuan immediately instructed Meng Didao, "In Xia and Jian Gongzi went to help the three masters of Beidou Village, Meng Brother Tai and everyone went to the surrounding woods to inspect the people in ambush in Yitianzhai, and found that the archers immediately and quickly killed, so as not to catch the hidden arrows of the brothers of Beidou Village later. β
Meng Di immediately took Butu, Qu Ling'er and everyone else quietly touched down the cliff wall and entered the woods.
The Sky Survey Fork is mighty and brave, wide open and closed, and the momentum is like a rainbow, but the ghost head single knife is soft and treacherous, dangerous and vicious, compared with the amount of teaching, the Sky Survey Fork is a little urgent and not flexible enough, if it is entangled for a long time, it is a heavy weapon after all, it consumes too much strength out of thin air, and it cannot account for the slightest convenience of the ghost head single knife, only afraid that the strength of the inner element will be exhausted, and it will be defeated by the ghost head single knife crazy counterattack, and the spear of the sealed tiger is also a heavy weapon, blindly stabbing and killing, although the killing in front of you is powerful, but how can it be as light and flexible as the glaive single knife, and the fight will definitely be exhausted in the inner element, and the strength is exhausted and defeated under the single knife of the glaive, which happens to be with the survey fork, the ghost head single-handedly encountered the opposite.
The two Fang Tian painting halberds of the thirteen leopards covered Guan Taiyuan like a sudden wind and rain, and the three roads up and down were beaten violently, and Guan Taiyuan was gradually unable to withstand the onslaught of the other party, and the flaws were revealed, and the thirteen leopards hated him very much that he injured his eldest brother with a poison feeding weapon in Luoyang City, and almost took the life of the eldest brother, so he shot desperately, and when he saw him fall down, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and did not give him half a chance to breathe.
Seeing that the fifth brother was in danger, the beautiful fourth mother next to her immediately pulled out two mandarin duck butterfly yues, and with a coquettish sound, she rushed far away, and pounced on the back of the thirteen leopards, attacking in an attempt to reduce the pressure on Guan Taiyuan.
The thirteen leopards were attacked by the two of them, and due to the situation, they had to weaken their attacks, and they didn't dare to approach Guan Taiyuan too much, but he scolded unrelentingly, "Sao Po Niang, why are you attacking the back of the leopard master's ass again, you seem to be unable to get along with the leopard master's ass, and you are not afraid of the leopard master's fart smell, there is a kind of come to the front of the leopard master, and see the leopard master's Fang Tian painting halberd does not mess with you." β
Gou Su stood by and watched the fight in the field, seeing that the two sides were fighting fiercely and were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, a treacherous smile flashed on his thin cheeks, and he suddenly pursed his lips and let out a whistling sound, the whistling sound was dry and cracking, which was both ugly and extremely harsh, and it was really like a monkey crying an ape.
As his whistling sounded, the woods ' Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' rushed out of a group of people, the first one was particularly outstanding, as light as Feihong floated straight into the fighting arena, and at the same time flashed a cold blue Xuan, this is a sword light, this sword light appeared, immediately the light of the weapons in the air was reined in, a young warrior with a long figure, long hair hanging down, a blue complexion, eyes like electricity, holding a wide and heavy long sword standing proudly in the field, the sword aura is imminent, Yitian Sixiong and the Big Dipper Sanjie were shocked by his sword to the side, the blue-faced warrior is in the Heavenly Demon Mystery Palace'Blue-faced Cloud Dragon' Situ Shangying, the wide long sword in his hand is also the dragon tongue Qingfeng heavy sword in the martial arts strange three-edged heavy sword.
The people behind Situ Shangying were Li Feiyan, Yan Ba of Taihu Yanshui Village, Cao Wu, Mo Xiaochun, the three owners of the village, Qiu Xiaotian, the lord of Eryu Island of Tongtian Island in Liaodong, the thunderbolt hammer of the Spirit Snake Zhenjun Gate, the flower-faced leopard and others, this group of people converged with the four heroes of Yitian and immediately surrounded the three heroes of the Big Dipper.
Gu Shangwu will have the dragon tongue Qingfeng heavy sword, knowing its power, only this heavy sword can hit the three masters of the Big Dipper, not to mention that there are many other masters around him, he knows that Yitian Wuxiong has set a trap again, and invited the underworld master to help him, today I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the catastrophe, and the face is slightly cold at the moment, and he said in a loud voice; β
"That's right," Gou Su laughed twice, shook his head and said, "Those who know the times are Junjie, the owner of the ancient village should remember the lives of thousands of people and horses in the cottage, and promise the alliance at this time, it's not too late, our village and our friends must treat Guizhai as guests, otherwise the jade of Beidou Village will be burned!"
Gu Shangwu's round eyes glared angrily, and a round of glaive single-knife calmly and unhurriedly: "If you want the owner of this village to be with you and other rats and jackals, the sky will fall down, and the master of this village will lie six feet horizontally, and he will be a good man after 20 years!"
Li Feiyan urged, "Brother Situ, why don't you do it yet?"
Situ Shangying gritted his teeth, waved the dragon tongue Qingfeng heavy sword, and his true qi was filled with sword leaves, and the heavy sword carried the momentum of wind and thunder, bringing up gusts of whistling wind, and slashed the three heroes of the Big Dipper obliquely.
The sword was in mid-air, the cold light was pressing, and the murderous aura was overflowing, but I didn't expect a white shadow to flash in mid-air, and at the same time, a cold sword light was drawn up, and there was a line of light green essence flame in the cold sword light, which flashed away, like an electric shock in the sky, blazing and dazzling, all the people were stimulated by its strong blazing and almost closed their eyes, a soft sword as thin as a wing feather stiffly held the heavy sword, and the sparks were shot, which was strange to say, but the heavy sword was blocked back, but the soft sword stood firmly in the field.
Situ Shangying staggered back seven or eight steps before stabilizing his body, only to feel that his chest was swollen and cracked, his breathing was heavy, he looked at people carefully, and couldn't help but gasp, the one who came was the Nanxiu Fenggongzi among the four princes, he just wanted to use a sword to give the Beidou Sanjie a dismount, so with enough inner Yuan true qi and strength, he didn't expect to kill a Nanxiu prince in the sky, and only a sword to block himself, but the true qi emitted from the soft sword was several times stronger than himself, this young man became more and more subtle and deep, and he was not his opponent at allγ
A gray shadow suddenly appeared in the air, accompanied by the buzzing sound of bees piercing the eardrums in the air, the cold flashed, and the two-line hidden weapon broke through the wind and attacked Li Feiyan directly, although Li Feiyan was confused by the buzzing sound of the bees, and it was difficult to argue the direction and angle of the hidden weapon, but he was worthy of being the master of the White Tiger Hall of the Demon Palace, his eyes were fast, and he had a big rotation to avoid the attacking hidden weapon, staring at the open space where he was standing just now, but there were two bee scorpion king darts.
The white shadow and the gray shadow were Jian Nanhong and Jiang Shu, who rushed from the side of the mountain to rescue the Three Heroes of the Big Dipper, the two of them settled down and stood in front of the Three Heroes of the Big Dipper, the thirteen leopards had already recognized the two, they were excited, they rushed forward and grabbed the arms of the two, and shouted, "It's Jian Gongzi and Jiang Daxia!"
Li Feiyan avoided the bee scorpion king dart, but he was also shocked into a cold sweat, judging the situation, although he knew that the martial arts of Nanxiu Gongzi and the prodigal son were powerful, but he thought that his side was powerful, so he stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and was about to draw out the long sword and call everyone to outflank him, mainly to take advantage of this chaos to hit the three heroes of the Beidou hard, leaving room for the five heroes of Yitian to invade the Beidou Village.
Suddenly, there was a miserable cry from the depths around the jungle, and Li Feiyan secretly shouted, "Oh no, I was surrounded by the other party." Immediately let go of the hilt of the sword, and instead took out two thunderbolt shotgun bombs from his bosom, the fire knife flint ignited the core, and quickly threw it on the ground, and there was an explosion of 'bang', and the smoke was dense and thick all around, filling the surroundings, Li Feiyan screamed;
Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shu was willing to retreat with the Beidou Sanjie to avoid the smoke, and did not chase after him, after a while, the mountain wind blew strongly, blowing the smoke away, Meng Di and others also caught up from the woods to meet with the Beidou Sanjie, Gu Shangwu witnessed the benefactor coming, overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Hao Yunpeng to introduce everyone to everyone, and introduced Hao Yunpeng to everyone one by one.
Everyone was happy for a while, and then packed up and stepped on the horses, and followed the three heroes of the Beidou straight to the main peak of the Beidou.
The main peak of the Beidou is thousands of cliffs, the cliff Cui Wei, there is only one road winding up the mountain to the peak, walk through half of the mountain, you will see the clouds and smoke, the fog is heavy, the air begins to thin down, along the way but see the sentry pass is strong, the checkpoint is rigorous, the green forest athletes who guard the checkpoint sentry pass are full of energy, the main peak of the Beidou is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After arriving at the top of the main peak, the peak has already laid down a layer of white thin snow, and it is another snow-white scene, the cottage houses are all built with huge round wood, the wall of the cottage is also made of round wood to make a fence, there are tribulus thorns and antlers piled up outside, there is only one road leading to the gate of the cottage, the whole cottage is full of swords and guns, the flag is fluttering, it is arranged in an orderly manner, just like a well-trained army camp.
Entering the gate of the cottage, everyone turned over and dismounted, all marveled at the majestic danger of the Beidou Peak and the thriving scale of the cottage, and the thirteen leopards immediately summoned the big and small leaders to line up in a square to welcome the distinguished guests.
Juyi Hall is located in a stone cave on the mountain wall, the stone cave is wide and wide, the lighting is very strong, it is naturally muddy, there are three huge stone chairs directly above, covered with tiger skin, it seems to be the chair of the three village masters, the following two rows of left and right are twenty or thirty lacquered chairs, probably for the leaders of each battalion or the guests to sit, the four corners of the hall are covered with beast-shaped iron furnaces, burning charcoal fire, very ambiguous.
Everyone walked into the Juyi Hall under the support of the heroes of Beidou Village, and the guests noticed that the upper wall behind the three tiger skin stone chairs was carved with a dragon and flying eagle pattern, which was exactly the same as the tattoo pattern on the body of Mengdi, which was the golden dragon logo of the Mongolian royal family, Gu Shangwu and the thirteen leopards pushed Mengdi to the tiger skin stone chair in the middle and sat down, and then knelt down with many leaders, bowed deeply, and after worshipping, everyone sat down as the guest of honor, and the soldiers offered fragrant tea to everyone.
Thirteen leopards specially went to the barracks under the kitchen, ordered to kill cattle and slaughter sheep, because the benefactor is the Mongolian steppe people, so more cattle and mutton are treated according to Mongolian customs, not long after, the big long table is full of large plates of beef, the whole roast sheep, and is equipped with pheasant, muntjac, roe deer and other game and pine mushrooms, mushrooms, silver filaments and other mountain delicacies to assist, large altar wine, big wine bowl, rich and prosperous, the atmosphere is strong, thirteen leopards also ordered the whole village to drink heartily, the ceremony of welcoming the guests in Beidou Village is warm and bold, and the guests should be drunk for the wind and dust.
After the beginning of the reception banquet, after several rounds of ceremonial wine, the three lords of Beidou Village began to toast to the guests frequently, the big bowl of wine and wine to the bowl dry, the wine beads splashed, Jiao sucked the whale swallowed, the tiger drank the leopard to drink, the passion was overflowing, not long after, the leaders of the battalions also came to toast, shouting, the wine jar of the big altar was empty, and the soldiers were too busy pouring wine.
This kind of drinking scene is so heroic and wonderful, Jian Nanhong has already drunk red-faced, seeing that the situation is not right, she hurriedly and quietly pulled Qu Ling'er's clothes, indicating that she would find an excuse to slip away with herself, Qu Ling'er was already drunk and dazed, where would she listen to him, she originally grew up in a green forest cottage, and naturally liked this kind of lively scene, Jian Nanhong was helpless, so she had to find a convenient excuse to sneak out of the righteous hall to hide for a while.
Mengdi, Ruolin, and Butu are all children of the desert grassland, the son of Tianjiao, with a strong physique, all of them are massive, but this wine is also drunk, among the many guests, except for Jian Nanhong, who deliberately avoided drinking and did not get drunk, there is another person who seems to be drunk but not drunk, and has never stopped the bowl, that is, Jiang Shuyuan, the rest of the people have been drunk, and fell asleep, the three owners and leaders of the Beidou Village are also drunk with a large number of people, and the hospitality and boldness of the Beidou Village have to make people intoxicated.
Hebei Province Hebei Province three miles outside the city there is a luxury manor, high wall green tile, building terrace pavilion, scale and section ratio, vast, there is a pair of mighty huge bluestone lions in front of the manor gate, three layers of stacked eaves, black lacquer gate, the monster copper ring, a golden plaque on the gate 'Dragon Villa', the first big gang in Hebei Province Dragon Gang General Altar is located here.
A four-horse carriage with expensive carvings and decorations galloped close to the gate of the manor and stopped, the curtain was lifted, and two middle-aged men walked down, their hair was tightly bunned, brown and yellow wide clothes, and their clothes were distinct, and the two middle-aged men got off the car and stood respectfully on the side, and after a while, the carriage slowly walked down two people, one was fat and strong, round and big-eared, the other was as thin as firewood, with hanging eyebrows and eyes, and there was a long-lasting ulceration and abscess on the forehead, the two of them looked tired, lazy and slack, both of them were dressed in dark blue clothes and trousers, but the left shoulder of the two people to the chest and under the ribs were sewn with a row of small patches, and the fat and strong men were nine patches, the abscess skinny man is seven tonics.
When the middle-aged man saw the two of them getting out of the car, he hurriedly waved his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said in a low voice, "Two distinguished guests, the Dragon Villa has arrived, please!"
The strong man and the thin man looked up at the gate of the villa, and praised in their mouths, "Magnificent and courageous, Brother Tu has really improved over the years." "In fact, these two people are the first son of the beggar gang, and the sewing and mending on their bodies is a sign of their status and rank in the beggar gang, the strong man is the first son of nine bags, in addition to the gang leader, he has the highest prestige in the beggar gang, and the thin man is the first son of seven bags, and he can also call a hundred and rule over tens of thousands of people.
The two of them walked up the steps of the gate with a grin, and Zhuang Ding, who was standing at the gate, saw that the middle-aged man who got off the car before was humble to these two people, and knew that it must be a distinguished guest in the village, so he quickly shook the big knife in his arms, and the iron ring on the big knife made a 'whoosh' sound, which was regarded as etiquette.
Tu Zhuang is still tall and strong, pale golden skin, thick eyebrows, beard, beard, fierce and proud, his left and right are still two delicate and foxy, tight and narrow jackets, short skirts and wide pants, one red and one green 'neon red',' Green Shadow 'Concubine Ji, among the many concubines behind her, there is a woman with beautiful eyes, pink jade with spring, gorgeous brocade clothes, bright jewelry, particularly conspicuous, she is the widow of Gongsun Shaojie of Luoyang City, Henan Province, Gongsun Shaojie, after his death, he took refuge in Tu Zhuangmen, Tu Zhuang was overjoyed, accepted as a concubine, and loved it.
Tu Zhuang stepped forward and grabbed the strong man, and shouted with joy, "Good brother, I haven't seen each other for so many years, I heard that you are also doing well in the beggar gang, and you have been promoted to the elder of the nine bags, congratulations!"
The strong man's name is Gu Xingfeng, the head of the four elders in the nine bags of disciples of the Beidi Beggars Gang, because the gang leader has traveled thousands of mountains for many years, has been a wild crane in the clouds, occasionally comes to the gang once or twice, the dispatch and distribution of affairs in the gang are Gu Xingfeng's acting as the gang leader, his prestige in the beggar gang is second only to the gang leader, the beggar gang is all over the south and north and sixty-three provinces, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, the head of the gang with a large number of people in the world, so it is divided into two major altars in the north and south, Gu Xingfeng is the deacon elder of the beggar gang in the north and the earth, acting as the gang leader, presiding over affairs, his name is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, the thin man is called Wu Qi, nickname'Rotten Head Snake', who is also a disciple of Seven Bags in the Beggar Gang, is Gu Xingfeng's direct confidant, this person is gloomy and capable, and scheming, so Gu Xingfeng often takes this person with him, and at the moment, Gu Xingfeng also exclaimed, "Brother Tu, after a few years, you are still so heroic and free, which is really envious of my brother." β
Compared with the Dragon Gang, people are dressed in brocade clothes, and there are groups of concubines, living in the flowers all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, how happy and comfortable! Gu Xingfeng Mo Ming felt a chill and low self-esteem.
Tu Zhuang took Gu Xingfeng's hand and said affectionately, "I finally invited my brother here, let's catch up with the old days today and get drunk." After speaking, he instructed the housekeeper, "Brother Gu has been a good friend of the gang leader for many years, and he is like a brother and sister, and he has a banquet in Linzhou. β
The housekeeper received the order, but he only retired, and went straight to arrange the banquet.
Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi and Tu Zhuang and many concubines talked and laughed together, through the front hall wing, and through the inner courtyard of the middle hall, and finally out of the back garden of the inner courtyard, came to a river bank, there was already a large painting boat waiting here, the slaves on the painting boat picked up everyone on the painting boat, the boat began to row to the opposite bank, Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi watched the scenery on both sides of the river on the boat, this is the Fuyang River connecting the Ziya River, the river water is clear and thorough, the water plants on the bank are swaying, there are many pelicans, white cranes, red-billed geese wandering leisurely on the bank to feed, there are cormorants on the river, water ducks are playing in the water and fishing, a natural scenery of the fields outside the worldγ
The boat docked at the ferry head of the water pavilion on the opposite bank, and everyone walked up to the water pavilion platform at the ferry, and saw that the pavilions and pavilions of these pavilion corridors were carved beams and painted buildings, painted with lacquer, and the three words 'water Linzhou' were written in front of the middle of the pavilion, which was strong and elegant, Gu Xingfeng and Wu Qi were dazzled, completely dumbfounded, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Tu, this huge manor and water port is your homestead?"
"Of course," Tu Zhuang stroked his beard with his hand and laughed, "In fact, the Beggar Gang of millions is the largest gang in the world, and the brother is in the position of the acting gang leader, and he looks down on the martial arts and the rivers and lakes. β
Gu Xingfeng blinked his eyes and sighed, "Although the eldest brother is mixed in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that this wealth can only be enjoyed by being a second- or third-grade official, how dare the brother be delusional?"
Tu Zhuang patted him on the shoulder and boasted, "If the brother likes it, the eldest brother will buy you a mansion like this within a year, and it will be more magnificent than this, and it will also match you with more than ten concubines and concubines, so that you can enjoy what it means to be drunk and drunk." β
Everyone walked into the room of the pavilion corridor while laughing, the four walls and floors of the room are all inlaid with pear wood, red sandalwood tables and chairs, dusty, there are bonsai flowers of various shapes in the corner, the incense sticks are slow burning, filled with a strong Canaan fragrance, which makes people feel more comfortable, the housekeeper greeted him and whispered respectfully, "Respected guests, the hot fragrant bath is ready, please use it slowly." After speaking, he clapped twice with his palm.
With the sound of his palms, the inner sliding door in the room was pushed open, bringing out a wave of hot air, and the bathtub must have been prepared inside, and four delicate women with bare chests and arms came out, with half-hanging temples, tender skin, sultry, and couldn't help but say, four women stepped forward, and the two of them set up one, and pushed Gu Xingfeng and Wu Qi into the inner room, Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi was a little flattered, and everyone was a little embarrassed.
Waiting for Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi walked out of the room after the hot bath, completely changed a person, the hair knot was neatly combed, the placket was bright and dazzling, and the spirit was refreshed, it turned out that their placket was changed to brand new from the inside to the outside, although the color of the placket, the style and even the sewn muffler are the same, but the fabric is different, this is the first-class Suzhou Juan silk silk satin fabric, it seems that Tu Zhuang has been prepared for the reception of the two of them.
There is a table of exquisite mountain and sea dishes and famous wine on the table in the room, those concubines are no longer in the room, I don't know when they left, only Tu Zhuang sat quietly at the table and waited for the two of them, Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi was no longer formal, he stepped forward and sat down at will, and the guest and host poured wine and toasted.
After a few lines of wine, Tu Zhuang Zhenyan said: "Life is a life, the grass and trees are autumn, it's not that the leader of this gang is talking about brothers, the big husband is vigorous and stands up to the sky, but he also has to squander and enjoy it, like a brother who is tight, with long hands and short clothes, similar to an ascetic, what is the use of nine bags of disciples? β
Wu Qi drank the wine in the cup in one breath and complained, "Gang Master Tu is right, it's just that our business is full of drudgery, despised by others, weathering the wind and rain all day long, walking the streets and alleys, stretching out his hand to beg for food in the eyes of others, never riding a majestic horse, let alone eating a decent meal like today, bitter, confused and confused!"
Gu Xingfeng also sighed heavily, and said, "There are also sources of wealth in our gang, but there are too many rules and precepts, and you can't be extravagant. β
Tu Zhuang sneered, picked up his wine glass and saluted Gu Xingfengdao, "Brother is in the position of acting as the leader of the gang, he should think about his brothers, and sometimes he should also let the brothers relax, is this also called clear punishment, otherwise how to make brothers work hard? The system precepts are in your hands, can you change them and be more flexible." β
Gu Xingfeng picked up the wine glass, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stopped the wine glass, and pleaded, "By all means, these rules and precepts are inherited from the gang masters of the past generations, if the brother changes them at will, it will be to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and although the gang leader is an old man, he does not ask much about the affairs of the gang, but in his bones, he is naturally jealous and hateful, upright and strict, the brother has followed his old man for so many years, and he has been born to die and fought hard in the rivers and lakes, but he only does a registered disciple of his old man, and even a formal apprentice refuses to accept it. β
"It's not fair, it's so unfair that old man. Tu Zhuang shook his head and shouted again and again, he poured wine for Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi and himself, and said to Gu Xingfeng, "Drink this glass of wine, this gang leader will tell you a secret." β
The three of them drank to the wine, and Tu Zhuang wiped his lips and said solemnly; Brother, you have made great efforts for the beggar gang, nine deaths, before sitting in today's position, your gang leader is very unfair to you, originally this is the door of your gang, this gang leader is inconvenient to ask, but with you and I decades of children open crotch pants this friendship, this gang leader will hold grievances for you, and also have the ability to help you, to tell you the truth, your old gang leader has recently received an apprentice, and will soon bring him to your Beidi General Tan Shenze County, declare his apprentice as the new leader of the beggar gang......"
Gu Xingfeng and Wu Qi's eyes widened, they glanced at each other, they didn't seem to believe Tu Zhuang's words, Gu Xingfeng turned to Tu Zhuang with a heavy mind and asked, "I only heard that his old man has recently accepted an apprentice, haven't you heard that he is going to be appointed as the new gang leader?"
"Alas," Tu Zhuang continued, "Brother, why are you so confused? If it is announced at the general altar and the iron hammer is decided, who will dare to refute it? That kid is a new member of the beggar gang, how can he be, without leaving a drop of blood or sweat, how can he be the leader of the gang? Where does the carefree old man put you great heroes?"
Wu Qi suddenly slapped the table, rolled his eyes, and said in a strange voice, "That kid wants to be the new gang leader, Wu Qi is the first to disagree! The gang leader is also eccentric, Brother Gu works hard for the affairs of the gang, gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and in the end he is kicked away, which is really chilling!"
Gu Xingfeng was silent, but the expression on his face was blue and white for a while, and it was clear that he was doing fierce thinking in his heart.
Tu Zhuang looked at his face and looked at the color, and further forced Gu Xingfeng Dao to do so, "The gang leader got reliable news, just in the past two days, the old man and the apprentice are about to arrive in Shenze County, if the brother doesn't believe it, you can intercept his master and apprentice, and ask the old man in person, for the sake of today, the plan is not to let the old man announce his decision in the general altar of your gang, otherwise the consequences will be irreparable, and he will intercept and kill his master and apprentice halfway, and he will not know it, and he will naturally ascend to the position of the gang leader." β
Gu Xingfeng's face was like ashes when he heard this, cold sweat trickled down, and he muttered to himself, "If you want your brother to murder the gang leader, then it is a crime committed by the master, and the crime cannot be punished?" His expression was extremely painful, and his whole body trembled slightly, if the former was true, he had done his best for the beggar gang, and he had done his best for so many years, and when he bowed his head in front of a strange child, how would he balance his mentality? If he did the latter, he was a little afraid to think about the result...... But he had to make a choice.
Wu Qi's eyes gurgled and turned, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Gu, just do what Gang Master Tu says, sit back and wait to die, it's better to fight, the two of us are poor and call Huazi a bad life, maybe we can make a fortune with Gang Master Tu." β
Gu Xingfeng's eyebrows and the corners of his mouth trembled violently, he didn't speak, and he still hesitated, but it could be seen that Wu Qi's words made him shake a little.
Tu Zhuang struck while the iron was hot and encouraged: "Brother Wu's words are too refreshing, Brother Gu should also show some courage, and constantly suffer from it, is it not poisonous and not a husband! β
The three of them really didn't talk about it anymore, drank a big glass, and only talked about some old things from their childhood, which caused the two of them to reminisce infinitely, laughing and complaining, after the banquet, the four women who had served Gu Xingfeng before, Wu Qi's four women took the two of them on the painting boat with heavy makeup, like glue.
In the evening, in the room of the pavilion of the promenade, the giant candle is bright, and the table is still rich in delicacies from the mountains and seas, but there are two more guests, one is Sai Zhuge and the other is Cailing people, Gu Xingfeng heard that Sai Zhuge is not only the righteous brother of the Black Lion Flame Village, the lord of the Shandong Green Forest Alliance, but also the current liaison envoy of the Qing Empire in China and China, and personally received the warrant of the regent of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and saw that although he was wrinkled, he was calm and leisurely, and he looked resourceful, Avoiding retreat, Gu Xingfeng and Wu Qi were a little excited, and seemed to see hope.
After the cups were pushed one after another, and after toasting each other several times, the atmosphere relaxed, and Sai Zhuge clapped his hands and ordered his subordinates to present six thousand taels of silver to Gu Xingfeng and Wu Qi respectively, and talked eloquently; The small gift to the two as a tea allowance expenses, the mountain people will not be able to mobilize silver two to let the Tu gang master to buy a luxury manor for the two, the right to make the two temporarily settle down to recuperate, this time hand in hand with the alliance, the mountain people will be on behalf of the Heavenly Demon Mystery Palace and the Qing Empire to welcome the two, the two also understand that the Ming Dynasty has been eaten by ants and insects, is about to collapse, when the Qing Empire's Eight Banners Iron Cavalry across the Central Plains of China, the two are the founding heroes of a new dynasty, the world, the mountain people naturally play the Ming Jun, especially for the two of them to build the beggar king's mansion, and the general's marshal's mansion is the same magnificent, the first of the martial arts rivers and lakes, the glory is prominent, hereditary wealthγ β
Listening to Gu Xingfeng's words, Wu Qi and the others were a little fluttering, but only chattered, and toasted back to Sai Zhuge back, while the wine was hot, Sai Zhuge hurriedly said a set of action steps to steal the leader of the beggar gang, Gu Xingfeng, Wu Qi heard it with open eyes, but for the sake of glory and wealth, the two still nodded and agreed.
