Chapter 8: The Seven Clever Spirits Command the Messenger to the East (4)
The four of them continued on their way, and all the villages along the way were sacked, and the worst houses in the village were all destroyed, and there was not a single person left, except wild dogs searching for the corpses of the dead in the rubble, full of devastation and miserable sight. Zhu Xinqi, the www.biquge.info of the pen & fun & pavilion, said: "These tragedies were not done by Sun Deshuang alone, and now you still say that those minions are not guilty of death?" Pang Mingyang looked at it silently and said: "What the girl said is that none of those thieves have any good things, and we can kill one when we see one." Shen Jun also agreed: "That's exactly how it should be. ”
When the sun was about to set, I entered the boundary of Jianyun Mountain, and I saw a protruding mountain peak standing like a sword in the distance, and the outline of three or four cottages could be vaguely seen in the forest, and the cottage on the top of the mountain was the most conspicuous and large-scale. Pang Mingyang used his eyesight, and after observing it, he said: "The thieves filled the road up the mountain with boulders, leaving only a steep path to the top of the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder they can defeat the officers and troops many times." Shen Jun said: "The place where the girl is detained must be in Dazhai on the top of the mountain, we must go up the mountain to rescue, but how can we not be discovered?" Nangong Yu said: "We can't think of a way to break our heads here, so it's better to ask them." ”
The three of them followed his gaze, and saw two minions walking along the dirt road, talking and laughing, looking like they were patrolling. The four of them hid behind the long grass, Pang Mingyang said, "Miss Zhu, do you want to try your skills?" Zhu Xinqi smiled: "It's exactly what I want." As he spoke, he stepped out of the grass with his sword and came into contact with the two minions.
The thief soldiers suddenly saw such a big beauty, they were all stunned, one of them was stunned, and said with a wicked smile: "Where is the girl?" Zhu Xinqi said angrily: "Where is your helper?" The thief soldier smiled and said: "You heard that the helper is recruiting the lady of the village, but the helper has been fascinated by the messenger of the East China Sea, and he may not be waiting to see you, you see how I am, follow me and promise to let you eat and drink without worry." The minions next to him argued: "All good things will be taken from you, I am worse than you, if you want to follow me." The man scolded before: "you, you have a mother-in-law and rob me! ”
Zhu Xinqi's little face sank, and the cold light of the long sword came out of the sheath, and it pierced into the heart of the minion soldier at once, snorted, and fell to the ground and died. The other minion was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped two steps away and exclaimed, "You... You killed him?" Only then did he realize that the beautiful woman was still carrying a sword. Some men ignore other things when they see their beautiful faces, so this kind of person often ends badly.
Zhu Xinqi didn't answer, the long sword turned into a cold light and stabbed out, and the minions hurriedly drew their knives, but before the knife came out of the sheath, his wrist was already hit by the sword, and the sword light stabbed him in the neck again. Pang Mingyang hurriedly said: "Stay alive!" Zhu Xinqi's sword light immediately skewed, pierced into the arm of the minion soldier, and hit his acupoint with the scabbard. Zhu Xinqi put the sword back into its sheath and said, "Come out, such a weak opponent can't try any sword moves." ”
After the three of them walked out, Shen Jun said: "It's not that the opponent is weak, it's that the junior sister's swordsmanship is clever." Pang Mingyang squatted in front of the minions and asked, "How many women are you imprisoned on the mountain, and where are they held?" The minions didn't dare to lie, and said, "There are more than 100 women in total, all in the dungeon of Dazhai on the top of the mountain. Pang Mingyang said: "How many minions are there on your mountain, where is your helper?" Pang Mingyang said: "Hunting?" The minion explained: "Hunting is the meaning of robbery, and the gang leader led people to attack Tianping Town, which is forty miles away, and is expected to come back tonight." Shen Jun scolded: "There is another ghost town, you bandits really deserve death." The minions panicked: "It's all the idea of the gang leader, no matter the villain's business, the villain has not been in the gang for a long time, and the fat difference in hunting is not my turn." ”
Nangong Yu said: "What did you say about the East China Sea envoy just now, who is that?" The minion soldier said: "The villain only knows that the East China Sea envoy is here to talk to the helper, and it is a woman, and the helper has a good impression of her, and this time I went hunting to find some rare things to please her, and I don't know the rest." Shen Jun couldn't ask anything when he saw it, and said, "What to do with him?" Zhu Xinqi said: "Kill him." The minions burst into tears of fright and begged for mercy. Pang Mingyang glanced at Nangong Yu and asked, "What about the opinion of the third junior brother?" Nangong Yu asked the minion soldier: "That person said just now that you have a family, but is it true?" The minion soldier cried: "Really, the villain has a wife and children, and an old mother who needs to be honored. Nangong Yu sighed: "As long as he is no longer a bandit, let it go." The minions hurriedly said: "The villain swore not to do evil again, and from now on he will keep his wife, children and mother at home and farm the land, and never come out again." Zhu Xinqi frowned and said: "Do you believe this kind of nonsense?" Nangong Yu said: "The purpose of our killing thief is to no longer have a wife and disperse, this person is a young family, who will support his wife and children if he kills?" Zhu Xinqi glanced at Nangong Yu and said, "You are kind-hearted." Nangong Yu said: "Please call the shots, senior brother." Pang Mingyang said: "The third junior brother is right, if there is one less bad person in the world, one more loving father and filial son is also a merit." After saying that, he explained the acupoint for him and said, "Let's go, don't do evil in the future." The minions thanked him a few times and ran away.
Zhu Xinqi said: "What should I do now? Why don't we take advantage of Sun Deshuang's absence in the cottage and we will go up the mountain to save people?" Shen Jun said: "Didn't you hear that the minion soldier said that Sun Deshuang would come back tonight? Even if everything goes well and the people are rescued from the mountain, what if we happen to run into them? The bandits have horses again, where can we hide with a group of women?" Nangong Yu said: "I have a way, I don't know if it's appropriate?" Pang Mingyang said: "Third junior brother, please speak." Nangong Yu said: "Sun Deshuang and they are back with a full load, people are sleepy and tired, and they will definitely relax their vigilance at the foot of their own mountain, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of, as long as we take Sun Deshuang, no matter how many minions there are, they will throw a rat trap and force him to release the hostages, and no one will dare to stop us." Pang Mingyang said: "This plan is feasible, what do you think?" Shen Zhu and the others also nodded in agreement,
The next thing is to choose the ambush site, they walked out to the east for a while, and saw that there was no hill to hide nearby, but the elm trees beside the road were luxuriant, and the elm money was as dense as stars, and it was difficult to find a person hidden in the canopy. After making up their minds, the four of them began to go up the tree, Pang Mingyang and Shen Jun hid together, and Nangong Yu and Zhu Xinqi hid on the other side.
