Chapter 66: The Three Thieves Gather
After hearing this, Chai Shaoning said: "Could it be that the gang of thieves who set the fire is Xue Xuan's subordinates? This person is not an easy person to act after making a decision, but since we know his purpose, it is not difficult to prescribe the right medicine and turn the tide of the battle." ”
As for what happened in Wudang, as early as Chai Shaoning expected it, he was not surprised, so he didn't talk about it anymore. As the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and in order to prevent Yunyang Zhenren from harming the rivers and lakes again, the two saints can put aside the interests of the gang and act decisively, which is really commendable.
Chu Xionghao listened to Chai Shaoning talk about the situation in the valley, nodded and said: "Shaoning's analysis is not wrong, the thief also knows that the fire is difficult to extinguish, so he temporarily withdraws, and after the fire is extinguished, he will come back to pick up the silver taels." ”
He Jun answered on the side: "This group of thieves can put aside their greed, not wait here, and act neatly, it is indeed not easy to be with them. Most of the people in this mountain who can have such means and are well-trained are the team of the Jin bandit Xue Jun. ”
"So the best!" Chu Jiying said hatefully: "That Xue Tuan killed the eldest brother and the second brother, we have been helpless for many years, the Heavenly Sect is here today, it should be Xue Tuan's retribution." ”
Chu Xionghao frowned slightly when he heard this. He saw that Chai Shaoning was young, even if he obtained the true inheritance of the dragon swordsmanship, his skills must be limited, and he was certainly not bad at dealing with ordinary thieves, but he was not necessarily the opponent of the Jin Bandit Xue Xuan. When her daughter saw Chai Shaoning, she poured hope into the other party, and called him by his name, and her love for Chai Shaoning was unmistakable. It's naturally good to have a good son-in-law like Chai Shaoning, but I don't know what Chai Shaoning is thinking about yet?
He Jun saw that the master was frowning, but the master was still angry, and he didn't like the closeness of the senior sister and Chai Shaoning, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Since the other party won't do it for the time being, we don't have to stay here for a long time." The mountain is high and the wind is strong, and the brothers have not slept all night, so they should first find a place to rest and recuperate, and when the fire is extinguished tomorrow, they are afraid that there will be a vicious battle. ”
"Jun'er is right. Chu Xionghao looked up at the east and said: "From here, there is a pine forest dam, I remember when I passed by the year before last, there was an old shop there, let's go there to rest, wait for the spirits to be recuperated, and tomorrow we will go to Xue Shu to recover this blood debt." ”
Everyone here went to stay under the leadership of Chu Xionghao. The fire in Qingheyu over there burned for a day and a night, and it was still not completely extinguished.
Look at the middle of the day again, a team of men and horses suddenly extinguished the embers on the side of the road and broke into the valley. The first person rode a gray horse, wearing a white silk brocade robe, a silver whip hanging from his waist, a white beard, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was only in his early forties, but he was dignified and dignified, and his temperament was outstanding.
Behind the man in white was three horses, all dressed in black, two of whom were a little older, and the other was just young.
The group entered the valley to see that there was no one around, and with a wave of his hand, a team of people pushing a cart drove straight into the valley until it reached the overturned position of the dart cart, and used the iron palladium of the farmer's grass to hook off the ashes and boulders, revealing the yellow and clear gold nuggets below.
A group of people were busy, and the spies who were in the south valley mouth suddenly ran back, shouting: "Report to the master of Xue Village, the people from the Jing Zhen Dart Bureau have broken in." ”
The middle-aged man in a white silk brocade robe was none other than Xue Jun. Hearing Minion's report, he laughed and said, "Yesterday, Chu Lao'er slipped away quickly and was not burned to a charred corpse, but after all, he still couldn't let go of this thing outside his body, and he came back to die. Cheng Quan, you are here to pack up the silver two, and the two deputy village masters will go with me to meet this spear Chu Xionghao. ”
The young man who called Cheng Quan on the side agreed, and instructed his subordinates to shovel the gold and silver with wooden shovels, put them into boxes, carry them to the car and tie them, and Xue Tuan himself led two elderly men to ride their horses straight out towards the mouth of the valley.
A group of people left, and suddenly there was a shout of killing from the other side of the valley.
Cheng Quan was taken aback, and was about to send someone to inspect it, but the minions guarding the valley mouth on that side had already rushed over crying and shouting. Someone ran a little slower, and immediately let a large hammer smash his head flat, and behind the dancing hammer there was a cloud of silver mist shrouded in a long snake-like strange man, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, brandishing a chain spear and swaying left and right, and quickly came in front of him.
Cheng Quan was shocked when he saw it, it was not someone else, it was the iron hammer Su Leopard who escaped from the sea of fire the day before yesterday and the cold-faced green-skinned Fan Huaien. Unexpectedly, these two people not only did not get burned to death, but also recovered so quickly, and led people to compete for the dart silver again.
The Iron Hammer Su Leopard was like a blazing fire, and the day before yesterday he was ambushed, and half of the men and horses were lost in the valley, how could he swallow this breath? Therefore, despite the fact that the fire wounds on his body had not healed, as soon as he found someone in the valley, he immediately led a team to rush over, vowing to repay this blood debt.
Cheng Quan saw that the other party was menacing, so he had to take off the machete from the horse. Before he was fully prepared, Su Bao's huge hammer had already smashed down on his head.
There was a loud bang on the ground, and Cheng Quan's mount couldn't withstand the huge shock force of the two fighting, and stood up with a hiss.
Cheng Quan held a knife in one hand and the reins in the other, and as soon as he stabilized the mount, Su Bao had already bent back to the horse's head and rushed over again.
The hammer and knife intersected twice, Cheng Quan's wrist was numb, he knew that he was invincible, and wanted to escape when the two horses ran away in separate directions, and went to meet Xue Wei, but the two horses made a mistake, and Su Bao's sledgehammer suddenly changed direction, and smashed back from behind.
Cheng Quan was so frightened that he didn't care about the soreness of his hands, he turned the knife back, and the blade of the machete was blocking Su Bao's hammer.
A strong force came, Cheng Quan felt that he couldn't resist, jumped up in a hurry, and flew away from the horse's back with the power of Su Bao's blow.
Cheng Quanzheng was fortunate to have escaped, the silver light flashed in front of him, and a chain gun stabbed at him like a phantom.
Cheng Quan said "ahh Finally, he reacted quickly and kicked the cold star in front of him away, but his body also lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
But this is just a dying struggle, without the war horse, Cheng Quan knew that there was no hope of escape, and watched a black shadow in front of him from small to large, covering all his vision, and was smashed into meat sauce by Su Bao's sledgehammer in the scream.
The battle ended very quickly, and Su Bao saw that the gold nuggets had been loaded into the car, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he ordered someone to push and retreat outside the valley.
Seeing that he had reached the exit of the canyon, he suddenly heard the neighing of horses from people outside the valley, and another team of people and horses rushed out and sealed the mouth of the valley tightly.
Su Bao was taken aback, apart from him and Xue Tuan, who else had the strength to dare to take the dart? He hurriedly urged the horse to look forward, and the sound of the horse's hooves came from behind him, but it was Xue Tuan who heard the news, and he didn't have time to intercept the people in the dart game, so he hurriedly returned to snatch the dart cart.
Seeing the enemy in front and back, Su Bao's brain turned very fast, and he ordered someone to throw away the dart cart and retreat to a col in the valley.
Xue Yan's horse team rushed up to protect the dart carts, and the team that came in front saw that the dart silver was approaching but was not in a hurry to grab it.
When Su Bao saw it, he regretted it in his heart. He originally intended to let the two sides fight for the dart silver, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he didn't expect the result to be that the dart silver was returned to Xue Jun's hands in vain.
Su Bao roared and was just about to lead people to rush out of the mountain pass, when the ashes behind Xue Lu's team were stepped on by the sky, and the people from Jing Zhendart Bureau rushed over.
The four teams of men and horses were crowded in this narrow valley road, and seeing that a melee was about to break out, they suddenly heard Miao Huanjin's deep voice say: "Everyone, slow down, the master of Dart Silver has arrived!"
Only then did everyone know which team was coming in front of them, but who was the owner of the dart silver in Miao Huanjin's mouth?
"Buddha Amitayus!" was sent out by internal force, and it could be heard clearly even in the chaos.
Xue Jian and Su Bao were both taken aback, and while restraining their subordinates, they looked at Miao Huanjin's team opposite.
Chu Xionghao didn't expect this situation to happen, hearing that there was a mess in front of him, there was more than one family and horses coming, and he hurriedly ordered the disciples to stop advancing and block the rear of Xue Xuan, to see how this gang of thieves could fight?
I only heard someone read aloud: "Lord Xue Zhai and Master Su Zhai, why did you hurt the harmony of the brothers for some things outside your body?
As he spoke, a long-bearded Taoist came out of the crowd and came to the open space left in front of the three teams.
This Taoist looks to be about fifty years old, with a very strange appearance, a tall and thin body, and a long man, as if he has stretched a face from the middle, and with the undeserved long beard on his upper and lower chins, he has a big hairy dongguin.
There are also two Taoist priests in their thirties beside this big donggua, although these two Taoist priests are average in appearance, but under the backdrop of this big winter melon, they immediately look elegant like immortals.
When Xue Jian saw the appearance of the person who came, he recognized it as one of the three elders of Wudang and a disciple of the Master of Wuchen: Yun Chengzi, a demon Taoist, and he couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in his heart. Even if Wudang gave birth to civil strife, but the hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, Chu Xionghao took this dart to Wudang, and it was robbed halfway, if he really started with the Taoists of Wudang, but the consequences were endless.
Thinking of this, Xue Yan didn't show a look on his face, rushed forward and hugged his fists and smiled: "It turned out that Yun Chengzi Dao Chief Immortal Crane came, and he had heard the name of Dao for a long time, and it was a great honor to see it today, I don't know how the chief thinks this matter should be solved?"
"The master of Xue Zhai is polite!" Yun Chengzi said with a smile: "Several village owners are people who understand things, and this dart silver should belong to me Wudang, but today the poor Dao has the courage to make a decision for the master, divide this dart silver into three parts, and give it to the three village masters, just as Yun Chengzi made friends, I don't know what a few people think?"
Miao Huanjin and Yun Chengzi came together, they had long known Yun Chengzi's decision, and they didn't speak, just looking at how Xue Jian and Su Bao expressed their positions?
Xue Jian heard that the other party was straight to the point, so happy, Jin Cancan 200,000 taels of gold, said that he would give it away, but he was afraid that there would be another article in it. He didn't ask questions at the moment, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief's good intentions, how dare you not obey?" After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the thieves surrounding the dart cart withdrew in a half-moon shape, seemingly giving up the dart silver, but in fact, his men and horses were closest to the convoy loaded with gold, and the dart silver was still under his control.
