Chapter 54(1/2)
It’s late and it’s snowing. Can I have a drink?
The clouds were overcast and it was snowing heavily.
There is a cold wind as sharp as a knife.
A group of four horses galloped in the wind and snow. Although it was freezing cold, the four people's clothes were still thin. Lao Jianghu could tell at a glance that these were outsiders.
When dusk fell, the four of them finally stopped at a mountain temple to rest.
The mountain temple is still very tidy. It seems that someone has been taking care of and cleaning it. But there is no one at this time.
Wang Heming was responsible for lighting the fire, and took the prepared dry food and clean water from the horse's back to heat it. Pang Shishi took out a few beef hams from the leather bag on the horse's back, skewered them with thin wooden branches and grilled them on the fire. It didn't take a moment.
A dinner that was simple but not too shabby was done.
Lin Yongpeng looked at the heavy snow falling outside the temple and said: "It's snowing tonight, can you have a drink?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's probably late and it's already snowing, so I should have a drink!"
Lin Yongpeng said: "It's a pity that I want to drink but I don't have any!"
Pang Shishi smiled and said, "My eldest brother does!" As he said that, he pulled out two cowhide wine bags and four small wine glasses from a saddle on the horse's back, and said, "If the wine is not enough, there is still more." Lin Yongpeng asked.
"How many wine glasses are there?" Pang Shishi said: "Exactly ten, just enough for a table!" Lin Yongpeng said: "Where is the wine?" Pang Shishi said: "Four bags, eight pounds!"
Lin Yongpeng said: "I consider myself to be a good drinker, but I can't believe that I'm not as good as Brother Feng. You actually drink wine even when traveling long distances!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled, "I'm just a drunkard."
Lin Yongpeng said: "Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about wine, which shows that wine is a good thing!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Of course!"
The wind has stopped outside the temple, but the snow has not stopped.
Four people in the temple gathered around the fire, drinking heavily!
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly said: "Someone is coming."
The other three people didn't hear any sound. They knew that Feng Jiuxiao's ears were amazing and must be accurate. Pang Shishi said: "Brother, are the people who came here in the middle of the snowy night just to take shelter from the wind and snow?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's not like that. The sound of their footsteps was obviously deliberately lowered."
Pang Shishi said: "It seems there will be something good tonight."
Wang Heming said: "They must be coming for us."
Lin Yongpeng said: "Nine times out of ten, it is the Shangguan Tiannan you mentioned who is determined to change his mind!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's strange, these people who have come here have average martial arts skills. Letting these people deal with Brother Lin is like asking for death. They are coming soon. Let's wait and see what happens! Come on, let's finish the wine in the cup!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
The four of them drank the wine at the same time. Pang Shiwu cleaned the wine vessels and put them back into the basket. The four of them still sat around the fire, stretching out their hands to keep warm. In fact, the four of them were strong and not afraid of the cold at all. It was just a matter of habit.
After a while, everyone heard the sound of footsteps. There were about seven or eight people, and their martial arts skills were indeed average.
Lin Yongpeng said softly: "Is it a bandit?"
Wang Heming said: "It's possible!"
The temple door was suddenly knocked open, and eight big men filed in. Each of them was holding a ghost-headed sword, showing their fierce appearance!
Feng Jiuxiao knew that these were pawns who had been deceived to die, so she was not in a hurry to kill these cannon fodder. She just wanted to see if there would be good things to come.
Lin Yongpeng also guessed that these were all aimed at him. With a peerless master like Feng Jiuxiao by his side, he was even more confident.
Eight big men blocked the door. One of them seemed to be the leader. He took a step forward and said sternly: "Who is Lin Yongpeng?" Lin Yongpeng said calmly: "I am!" The big man saw that although he was dressed as a civilian, he was exuding "
The domineering general's commanding attitude and determination made him more certain that the person in front of him was the target. The leading man said solemnly: "Please come with us!"
Wang Heming frowned and said: "Don't you have any brains? Do you know who you are talking to? Do you believe that you will be rectified on the spot?"
The leading man suddenly raised his head and laughed, and then suddenly changed his face and said: "Then do you know who you are talking to? Do you believe that I will kill you all? If the village leader hadn't ordered that the surnamed Lin be captured alive, we would have chopped you into pieces long ago.
Meaty!"
Pang Shiwu asked: "Then who are you?"
The leading man said proudly: "Have you ever heard of Black Wind Village?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It turns out he is from the old demon of Black Mountain."
Lin Yongpeng said: "I have lived in the army and temples for a long time. I don't know the strange people and strange things in the world, so I ask my dear brother to clarify my doubts."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Now there are five sects, Thirty-Six Peaks, Seventy-two Villages and other large and small gangs gathered in Taihang Mountain. Among them, Black Wind Village is one of the Seventy-two Villages in Taihang. They call themselves Green Forest Heroes, but they are actually bandits and robbers.
However, firstly, the terrain of the Taihang Mountains is very dangerous and difficult to attack. Every time the government troops mobilized troops, they returned with no success, and in the end they were inactive in suppressing the bandits. Secondly, the various mountain villages worked together but claimed to be in the same spirit. It was difficult for one side to support them from all sides.
, the current strength of the local government and army is no longer enough to exterminate them, so banditry is becoming increasingly rampant!"
Lin Yongpeng frowned and said solemnly: "It's strange, isn't the General in charge of the Northwest? Isn't it possible that even he is helpless?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Actually, I don't think it's surprising. Although General Lian controls Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, the main force of the army is still guarding the borders. Therefore, the comparison of the strength of one city and one pool is likely to be at a disadvantage, but these bandits and robbers have occupied
If even the generals focus on suppressing the bandits, they will still be no match for the foreign cavalry from the Western Regions!"
Lin Yongpeng said: "It seems that a loophole was taken advantage of."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "In fact, it is not difficult to destroy them. In ancient times, two peaches killed three people. If we can make these bandits and robbers kill each other, wouldn't we reap the benefits?"
Lin Yongpeng said: "The key is what can impress these people who are ignorant of etiquette and shamelessness and make them kill each other? According to the current situation, there must be someone behind the scenes to give them some advice, so that they can form a situation where they are not in conflict with each other.
It's like Lian Heng during the Warring States Period! If it's just a simple method of using money to induce him, I'm afraid it won't work!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Since they have Lianheng, let's use Hezong!"
The two of them looked at the eight big men as if they were nothing. The leading man couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, and cursed: "Two birdmen, stop fucking with each other! Hurry up and capture them!" After that, he shouted at the people behind him.
With a glance, several tough men actually took out their chains and tried to pull them on Lin Yongpeng!
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly said softly: "We are the guests invited by Mr. Lian!"
Those big men seemed to be under magic, and their feet immediately froze! Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the leading man at the same time!
The leading man squinted his eyes and looked Feng Jiuxiao up and down. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he would never dare to act rashly until he was not completely sure that what the boy in white said was false! The officers and soldiers could not stand them, but they were not the same as Lianchengban.
He can't stop them! Another awesome thing about Liancheng is that if he goes up the mountain to cause trouble for any of the mountain villages, the other mountain villages will not only not stop him, but will even take the lead on Liancheng's behalf! It is said that the entire Thirty-six Peaks and Seventy-two Villages are the masters.
There is a high probability that Zi has a friendship with Liancheng! Either he himself has been saved by him, or his relatives and friends have been saved by him. Of course, there are also people who have been taught by Mr. Lian. They dare not be presumptuous! In any case,
The whole land of Sanqin is divided into black and white, and whoever dares to speak ill of Mr. Lian is the public enemy of the entire martial arts world!
The leading man said: "How do I know whether what you say is true or false? There are countless people pretending to be Mr. Lian's relatives and friends here every day and cheating!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This place should not be far from Tongtian Gorge. Just say that someone with the surname Feng from Hengyang City is here, and they will naturally know it. Head Yuan of the Taihang Sect in Tongtian Gorge is the uncle of Young Master Lian. You must not have this relationship."
Don’t you know?”
The leading man snorted coldly, "This place is still more than a hundred miles away from Tongtian Gorge. It's freezing cold and the road is slippery. It would take three hours to go back and forth even if you ride a horse quickly. Who has the time to spare? You're like a tiger's skin."
Raise the flag! Brothers, step up!"
Feng Jiuxiao glanced at Pang Shishi helplessly. How could Pang Shishi miss such an excellent opportunity to practice his skills? He knocked down a big man at the front with one punch, and rushed into the crowd without stopping for a few steps.
Knock down all the other big men with seven punches!
Almost in the blink of an eye, all eight big men were lying on the ground in a mess.
The force of each punch is enough to crack a stone!
Every punch broke a rib!
Every big man lay on the ground and moaned!
Lin Yongpeng couldn't help but cheer: "Good work!"
Just when Wang Heming was about to take action, he saw all eight of them fall down before he could take action. He couldn't help but admire Pang Shiwu's martial arts!
Pang Shiwu clenched his fists and said to Feng Jiuxiao: "Who else would it be if I could not move forward now? The unyielding fist intention has begun to take shape, but it is a pity that the fist intention cannot be retracted and released freely!" This was his habitual conclusion, and it was also
Waiting for Feng Jiuxiao's opinion.
Feng Jiuxiao only said: "A child can be taught."
Looking at the pile lying on the ground, Lin Yongpeng said with disgust: "How to deal with it? It's really useless!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Their life or death is not important. What is important is that the fight between you and them is a lose-lose situation. Even if you successfully pass their level, you are very likely to be seriously injured. By then, you will only die in the next level."
I'm afraid that death is not far away. When the time comes, the court will receive news that General Lin was killed by bandits at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, and then the most they can do is send troops to suppress the bandits. The result will be another deadlock, and in the end it will definitely end!"
Lin Yongpeng said: "That makes sense. Does that mean that as long as I don't die, there will always be robbers coming to harass me?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "So if we want to calm down the situation behind us, the eight people here must cooperate to do one thing and report to their master that General Lin has been eliminated."
He knelt down and began to search their bodies, starting with the big man in the lead. Sure enough, he found red, yellow and blue signal fireworks!
He said to the leading man: "Tell me what these fireworks represent!" He gently patted the leading man on the shoulder, and a stream of true energy seeped into the man's meridians, "If you don't tell the truth, I will make you miserable.
Die!" The leading man felt his body was itching like thousands of ants biting him. He shouted: "If you have the guts, give me a good one! What kind of guy can you be if you use such despicable methods?"
