Lin Fengsheng saw that the time was ripe, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, what is there to be embarrassed about, it is really not enough to compete with the righteous army with Huyangzhai alone, so let's get through this difficulty first." The heroes of Ailao Mountain are also kind, so you can agree. ”

Mei Ruoxue said: "Exactly, Brother Liu, it doesn't hurt anyway, you might as well agree." ”

Zhang Zhaokui listened to the help and persuasion of the two knights of the Jade Dragon Sword Sect, and his heart was both grateful and secretly happy, and he also echoed it.

Liu Chengwu patted the case and said: "Okay, since the two distinguished guests have said so, the surname Liu is better than obeying his fate." Brother Zhang, how to deploy the specific matters?"

Zhang Zhaokui said happily: "Brother Liu really understands current affairs, my eldest brother means to ask Brother Liu to go to Ailao Mountain with his younger brother immediately, and he will personally discuss the big plan with you." ”

Liu Chengwu said with a sad face: "I'm afraid this won't work, the two distinguished guests of the Jade Dragon Sword Sect came to my Huyang Village, how can I be lazy, as the lord of a village, I really can't leave." ”

Lin Fengsheng was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a big deal, Brother Liu is at his own convenience." My brother and sister are leaving. ”

Zhang Zhaokui saw that Mei Ruoxue helped Liu Chengwu with good swordsmanship, and Liu Chengwu obeyed the two of them, and he was quite stammering in his heart, and thought: "The Jade Dragon Sword Sect has Tubo and Mongolia as backers, and its strength should not be underestimated. ”

At the moment, he smiled and said: "Our eldest brother likes to make friends on the rivers and lakes the most, if the two of you don't dislike it, how about going to Ailao Mountain together?"

Lin Fengsheng said: "My junior sister and I have made friends with the green forest heroes of Weichu, and now we have only visited Brother Liu's family, and we need to visit other cottages. Brother Zhang's kindness can only be understood. ”

Zhang Zhaokui said: "This is better, among the heroes of the green forest, I am the most powerful in Ailao Mountain, and most of the other mountains have already attached to us, as long as the two of you convince my eldest brother, then the purpose of this trip will be achieved." ”

Mei Ruoxue said: "Yes, senior brother, I heard that the area around Weichu belongs to the most heroes in the green forests of Ailao Mountain, so why don't we go and take a look." ”

Zhang Zhaokui said: "Yes, yes, the girl is really insightful, don't shirk the two of you." If the two of them are willing to deign to come, the eldest brother must be overjoyed. ”

Lin Fengsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Since Brother Zhang is so hospitable, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." It's just that there is something important to do, so I can only send my sister to talk to Brother Ling. ”

Zhang Zhaokui said: "It's okay, it's best if the two of you come at the same time, if Meng Daxia is really inconvenient to go, then it's inconvenient to be reluctant." ”

It turned out that this was exactly the strategy set by Lin Fengsheng to capture and indulge. On the way here, he heard the thin man surnamed Liu talking with the big man surnamed Lai, and learned that the cottage of Zhang Jieba's gang of bandits was very secretive, and the terrain was dangerous, and it was difficult to enter without guidance, so if he wanted to know the situation inside, he had to find ways to blend in.

And it is very difficult for outsiders to get involved, and when he was thinking hard about the plan, Zhang Zhaokui once again came to invite Liu Chengwu to join the gang, so he ordered Liu Chengwu to plan and cooperate with himself to act in a play, first pretending not to be allowed to move, and then asking Mei Ruoxue to pretend to be a member of the Jade Dragon Sword Sect to show his martial arts.

The Jade Dragon Sword Sect has already attached itself to Tubo, so it is logical to say that they were assigned by the Tubo people, and it is logical to come to snare the heroes of the green forest in the Weichu area. And saying that the theft of food and salary was done by himself, which is not only unsubstantiated, but also can make the Ailao Mountain bandits grateful to Dade, once the other party has a heart to please, he can take advantage of the situation to blend into Ailao Mountain.

It's just that he had met with the thin man surnamed Liu, and if he went in person, he would inevitably find out his identity, although the person had also seen Mei Ruoxue at that time, but Mei Ruoxue's face was injured and covered with a black veil, so he had never seen Mei Ruoxue's appearance, and with Liu Chengwu accompanying him, it was not very dangerous.

Therefore, he excused himself and let Mei Ruoxue go with them alone, and then followed him secretly, and if there was any change in the meantime, he could also protect him secretly.

Zhang Zhaokui was overjoyed, everyone chatted for a while, ate some wine and meat, and then set off for Ailao Mountain. When he came to the fork in the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, Lin Fengsheng said that he had something to do to go to Weichu Mansion, so he turned back, and Mei Ruoxue followed Zhang Zhaokui and Liu Chengwu and his party to continue to move forward.

Lin Fengsheng walked back for about a mile, then turned around and followed, far behind everyone.

Jiming Mountain is not far from Ailao Mountain, and the undulating mountains of Ailao Mountain have been in sight for a day. However, Baicaoling, where Zhang Jieba and other bandits are entrenched, is located at the southern end of the mountain range, and it is still a few days away. On that day, everyone rested in a small town called Menggu, and Lin Fengsheng waited for them to invest in the inn, and then they also invested in an inn opposite.

In the next two days, Lin Fengsheng followed behind everyone without leaving, and Zhang Zhaokui and the others bowed their heads to Mei Ruoxue very respectfully. Not only did he not have the slightest suspicion, but he also valued it very much, and Lin Fengsheng was even more relieved.

At this time, we have entered the mountain road, and there are no towns along the way, except for the occasional encounter with a few sparsely populated villages. Zhang Zhaokui and others wantonly looted food in the farmhouse, and their behavior was very brutal, but fortunately no human life was harmed.

Lin Fengsheng frowned when he saw it in secret, but it was inconvenient to stop it, so he had to wait for everyone to leave and give some silver taels to compensate.

After another day, there were collapsed houses everywhere, and there were traces of being burned by fire, which was done by Zhang Stammering and a gang of bandits. Lin Fengsheng secretly gritted his teeth, and his heart to severely punish the culprit was even stronger. This place is close to Baicaoling, and the villagers have almost fled to other places, leaving only some lonely old and sick people.

At noon, I arrived at a densely populated town, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians, and small traders and vendors were hawking along the streets, which was quite a bit of life, compared to the miserable scene seen along the way, it could be described as a heaven and an underground.

The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the local products and goods cannot be bought and sold every day, so the market will be opened every three or five days, and the local people call it "Street Heaven". Today is the day of the local street.

When Lin Fengsheng arrived, more than half an hour had passed since Mei Ruoxue and Zhang Zhaokui and their entourage, thinking that the bandits respected their cousin so much, so they didn't follow too closely if there was no danger. I sat down at a noodle stall on the side of the street and asked for a bowl of lo noodles to eat.

Opposite is a coffin shop, from time to time someone brings out brand new coffins, and business can be described as very prosperous. But who will come to buy the coffin, since some people are happy and some are worried, the boss is full of spring breeze, and the customers are sad and miserable. Lin Fengsheng saw that the tide in the center of his eyes was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The person who ran the noodle stall was a thin middle-aged woman, who lowered her voice and asked, "The little minister is from out of town, right?"

Lin Fengsheng nodded, remained silent, and lowered his head to eat noodles.

The woman also sighed and said, "It is much easier to make money from the dead than it is for the living. Is the little minister going to the south?"

Lin Fengsheng said: "Yes, I don't know if I will meet villains on the road ahead?"

The woman said: "The world is so chaotic, you scholars should not come out and walk around." From here to the south, you have to cross the Ailao Mountain, where is the bandit's lair, and there is no other way in the mountain, so it is better not to venture out of the mountain. ”

Lin Fengsheng was grateful in his heart, nodded and said, "It seems that there are few bandits here, is there someone sheltering them?"

The woman said: "It's good to have someone sheltered...... her eyes looked around, and said in a low voice: "Many shops here have something to do with those bandits in Ailao Mountain, well, the coffin shop opposite is opened by a relative of the bandit leader Zhang stammering, after they burned, killed and looted, the coffin shop didn't know how many coffins they had to sell, alas, how could they rob their own people......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.

I saw a big man with a frank chest coming over, and said in a loud voice: "Hey, the noodle seller, want two bowls of noodles, add more hats, hurry up!" Yunnan usually adds some well-cooked meat seasonings on top of the noodles, mostly beef and mutton, pork, chicken, and is commonly known as wearing hats.

The woman trembled and said yes, and in a hurry, the big man couldn't stop urging viciously. Lin Fengsheng saw that this person was so arrogant, and couldn't help but look at him twice.

The big man scolded: "Little rabbit cub, what do you see, if you don't accept it, come and practice!"

Lin Fengsheng was not afraid, snorted and ate noodles by himself, no longer looking at the big man. In anger, he wanted to punish him, but he was afraid that after he left, these cruel people would anger the woman, so he had to give up.

The big man was very angry, and he made a gesture to fight. The woman hurriedly said, "Uncle, your face is ready." This is the nephew of the slut, who is a scholar, and the uncle has a lot of them, so don't be like him. ”

Dahan said unsettledly: "This kid owes discipline, and there is no one in his eyes, you have to discipline and discipline well." He muttered a bowl of noodles in one hand and walked across the street into the coffin shop opposite.
