On the more remote dirt road north of Qingzhou, a caravan of seven or eight mule carts struggled listlessly under the scorching sun.

The mule carts are all high-van trucks that imitate the Zhao family business vehicles that are popular in the Great Song Dynasty, which can carry a lot of things, and are not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow eroding goods.

It's just that this caravan seems to be short of financial resources, and the roof of the carriage is all curved reed mats, and the front and back are covered by cloth curtains. The carriage was stuffed with a lot of cargo, and looking at the struggling appearance of the mule pulling the cart, it was obvious that the cargo was heavy. Occasionally, the wind blew and lifted the corner of the curtain behind the car, revealing something that looked like cloth.

This is the team cloth merchant.

More than 20 shirtless men wearing straw hats, some riding in the wheel to catch the car, some holding knives to guard the car, all sweating profusely, sweating thin clothes, walking panting, but the feet refused to slow down at all.

There were two people riding on horseback, which should be the head of the group.

The person on the horse in front of him was fat, with a big belly, in his thirties but white and beardless, it seemed that the skin and flesh were so thick that he couldn't even get out of his beard, and the fat face exposed under the straw hat was naturally smiling, although he was also shirtless, but he was dressed a lot of magnanimously, as if he was a businessman or a shopkeeper.

The man in the back horse seems to be the guard of the fat man, the straw hat is pressed very low, as if he has been wilted by the scorching sun, his hair is dizzy and swaying on the horse, it is difficult to see the true face, his body is smashed, his bare muscles are raised, the steel knife is hung on his waist, and the pole long weapon is hung on the wing ring of the victory hook, and the head of the weapon is covered by cloth, I don't know the specifics.

It was the hottest time of the year, and near noon, the sun was scorching in the sky, and the ground was steaming. The birds are too lazy to fly. Only the Zhizhi on the roadside tree is singing, showing that it is not afraid of the scorching heat.

The man on foot couldn't walk. A man in the car came down to change him to catch a car and drink water.

The group looked out for each other and kept running.

But the more they hurried, the more accidents happened.

Suddenly, dozens of men burst out of the woods in front of them, each armed with a knife and a gun. And a few bows and arrows.

A horse ran out of the forest, and immediately a person wore a beard, a cross-horned iron head, a hundred flowers and green soapy robes, a black oil and gold armor, and a red silk shirt. Ride a yellow-maned horse with a large gun in your hand.

Needless to say, this is a robber roadblock.

The languishing man of the caravan immediately glared at him and took his knife, revealing a murderous aura.

The fat boss was still smiling, raised his straw hat, and asked softly, "Where is this?" ”

Immediately, the king of the mountain laughed, "Tell you to make you die." This is Jiming Mountain, and this king is the god king of Zhenshan on the list. What else is not understood. This king is kind enough to tell you about it. ”

The minions laughed when they heard the king say something funny.

The fat boss sighed, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the territory of the flower knife general." ”

As he spoke, a pair of small eyes suddenly revealed a fierce and vicious cold light, and his fat face turned into a satisfied face. Prove that he is not a businessman who makes money amiably, but a strongman who dares to commit murder.

However, he did not draw his sword and rush forward, but flanked his horse to give way to the man behind him.

The guards stepped forward to pick up their long weapons in one hand and raise their straw hats in the other hand to carefully look at Wang Dengbang. A strange and grim smile appeared on his face, and he said inexplicable words: "It's better for you to come." ”

He pulled the hood off his weapon. Revealing the shape of a halberd knife, he shook the halberd with one hand.

Wang Dengbang took a look, "It turned out to be a Lian family." What's wrong? Do you still want to practice with your grandfather? ”

One of his subordinates taunted, "I'm talking about that man." You can see Luo. This is the second master of our Jiming Mountain. If you don't want to die, you can do less, and obediently leave the goods behind. If you have the virtue of a good life, I will let you go. ”

The guard ignored the little leader. Stared at Wang Dengbang and said, "The number of brothers under my command is smaller than yours, but all of them are good at killing. If you want to take away my goods, in my opinion, your subordinates don't have to fight, and it won't be much cheaper to really beat your subordinates. In order to avoid more casualties. Only you and I compete according to our abilities. If you win, the goods will naturally belong to you. We left honestly. If you lose, it's a friendship. What do you think? ”

"You're pretty confident. It turns out that you are the Lord. Wang Dengbang looked at his opponent again.

The halberd knife (single crescent) is difficult to make, and few make it good. Those who dare to use halberds to break out are either handsome fancy straw bales, or powerful masters.

The man sat on his horse as steady as Mount Tai, exuding a majestic and fierce aura, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying light. I'm afraid it's not just lip service.

Wang Dengbang had a contemptuous expression on his face, but he was already careful in his heart.

"Good. And this king will promise you. ”

"Before you die, you will repay 10,000 yuan, and this king will understand who he killed today."

The man's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and he shook his halberd and drank lightly: "If you are lucky enough not to die, you will know who your grandfather is." ”

As he spoke, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse scurried forward, and the halberd pierced the king like lightning.

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one.

It's a good hand. Wang Dengbang's mind was spinning, and the big gun was in a hurry to fight back.

The two fought on a dirt road.

The man spoke big, but it only took a moment to reveal the essence of mediocrity.

After a few more fights, Wang Dengbang breathed a sigh of relief, this person just has the strength to handle it, and the frame is scary, but after all, he is a paper tiger, and he is destined to be the soul of this king's gun. Today's good deal is done.

On a hot day, you sweat when you don't move, and when you move, you sweat like an oar, your throat smokes, and it's really not cool to fight. He was in good spirits, wanting to finish it early, and the big gun seemed to be as fast as possible.

The man parried, his face still calm, but it was difficult to hide the incompetence that was becoming more and more apparent.

Wang Dengbang only felt that with more strength, the next shot would result the other party, and the pursuit would be tighter. During the struggle, the two unknowingly left the truck and moved farther and farther away.

When he left about four or five hundred meters, the man's eyes suddenly flashed, and the halberd knife in his hand suddenly changed to a different person, as fierce as a vicious python.

Wang Dengbang was taken aback and realized that he had been fooled, but he didn't know what this man meant by leading him away from the truck.

Could it be that he thinks that the twenty or so people under his command can keep the goods in the powerful Jiming Mountain territory?

The opponent is fierce, a halberd is as tight as a halberd, the moves are exquisite, and if he is not careful, he may be inserted into a hole, he has no time to think about it, and fights bravely.

After killing thirty or forty he, Wang Dengbang was deflated. This person is definitely a tiger general, and although his pistol skills are good, he is not enough to see this person at all.

He felt a chill in his heart and wanted to lose with a false shot and go to find reinforcements.

The man saw that he understood, and the afterburner halberd flew the gun and knocked Wang Dengbang off the horse with his backhand.

The tip of his halberd touched Wang Dengbang's throat and shouted, "Don't move." I will not kill you, but I will have something to discuss with you. ”

Wang Dengbang was scared to death, and when he heard this, he suddenly had hope, "You"

As soon as the voice came out, he trembled so hoarse that he startled himself.

Afraid that this man would despise himself for killing with a halberd, he quickly cleared his throat and calmed his emotions before asking, "Who are you?" I don't know each other, what do you still need to discuss with me, a thief? ”

The man put away his halberd and hung it up, jumped off his horse, and motioned for the king to climb the list.

"It's too hot, let's go under the tree."

Wang Dengbang hesitated for a moment, but still led the horse to follow.

This person is too powerful, and he will definitely not be able to escape if he wants to. He was also curious.

The man took off his straw hat and fanned the wind, looking at Wang Dengbang, with a smile on his face.

"My surname is Zhu, my name is 10,000 years, I am from Tai'an County, and now I have been killed by the dog official."

It turned out that this person was the second uncle of the Zhu family's three heroes who were not at home when the government was arrested.

On the same day, Miao Heitian's wanted document was sent to Tai'an County.

Tai'an County's honorable name is Wu Chang, the capital people's family, was originally the former dog-headed military division in Gao Ya, a person belonging to the Gao Yu department, took Gao Yu's door to get this county to loot the land, the locals called the impermanence ghost, and the prefect Miao Heitian only recognized money, and was overjoyed to get a wanted warrant at that time.

The brothers who wish Wannian Zhu Yongqing are also thousands of acres of fertile land and a large family with a wide range of money.

Wu Changgui coveted it early and tried to make his fortune, so he inquired about the background relationship between the two brothers clearly. Knowing that he didn't have a hand to protect him, he was about to make an excuse to start, and he didn't want the opportunity to fall from the sky. Since they and Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang are brothers and relatives, and they should be raided and destroyed by the rebellion, he can take the opportunity to take the fat of the Tai'an Zhujia family.

But it is said that this pair of Zhu brothers all have a skill, and it is difficult for a hundred and eight men to get close, and there are dozens of fierce guards in the village, which is not easy to deal with.

Wu Chang was afraid that it would not be helpful to rely on these people in the county who could only bully the cowardly people, and he was also afraid that the local arrest and the local old household Zhu family would inevitably have an affair and expose the rumors of arrest, and he would run away to commit gold and silver treasures, so he ordered the county lieutenant Kong Hou to lead the troops to arrest him under the legitimate pretext of arresting the relatives of the thieves.

Kong Hou is a local, very familiar with the Zhu brothers, understand their martial arts, do not make the plan difficult to succeed, on the impermanence of the ghost to offer a plan, in the evening, with the county soldiers and militia quietly surrounded Zhujiazhuang, let the county bow horse head Liu Guang led the team to ambush the soldiers outside. He took a few military center belly experts, and entered the village on the grounds that he wanted to make friends with the Zhu family brothers and ask for a glass of water and wine by the way.

He was greeted by Zhu Yongqing, the young owner of the second village, who was uninformed and defenseless.

Kong Hou took advantage of Zhu Yongqing's graciously leading the way in front of him, and suddenly attacked, so that he tried his best to penetrate Zhu Yongqing's heart with a sharp knife from behind.

Seeing Zhu Yongqing's face full of confusion and anger and trying to turn his eyes to himself, he sneered and explained: "I can't complain that Kong is insidious. It's really your nephew, known as Sanjie, who rebelled against the court, and your family is a traitor. This official is for the sake of the imperial court, and he has to use this vicious method to clean up you, the head of the bandits. ”

As soon as the sharp knife ended Zhu Yongqing's life, he kicked the corpse away, and shouted at the frightened Zhu family's doorman: "Zhu family rebelled." Follow the rebellion, and those who resist exterminate the three tribes. Put down your arms and surrender, and when you return to the county government to prove that you are not guilty, you will be free, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. ”

The Zhu brothers are rich people but their families are very rich, and they can't rely on the income of thousands of acres of land alone.

This situation is quite common in today's Great Song Dynasty. (To be continued......)
