Traveling along the way, although Zhao Kuangyin intentionally or unintentionally wanted him to join the Great Zhou Kingdom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But Ling Tianyun said a perfunctory word, it was not that he didn't want to join the Great Zhou Kingdom, but after all, he was burdened with a heavy hatred, and when the revenge of his grandfather and all the relatives who died in the Feng family was not avenged, he had no other thoughts. His whole mind is that he must slash those murderers who are doing evil in the Feng family, especially those Khitan masters. Xiao Yujing and Yelu Wuji and Xiao Tianye were both included in the list of must-kill by him, and he would only consider the others if he repaid the blood feud with his own hands.

And Zhao Kuangyin was not reluctant, his extraordinary conversation also opened Ling Tianyun's eyes, and at the same time, he also knew the environment of the Han State's neighbor Great Zhou, which also made him yearn for it. Compared with the barren Han Kingdom, the Great Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains was even more prosperous and powerful.

The two talked very happily, they were both from military backgrounds, they must have some common words, and they were roughly similar in temperament, both were heroic. Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun were ten years older, but Zhao Kuangyin insisted on being commensurate with Ling Tianyun's peers and calling himself the elder brother, while Ling Tianyun called himself the younger brother.

It also took them a lot of time to climb the Wutai Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles from Daizhou. But along the way, Ling Tianyun, who had been a scout in the military camp, keenly found that they had been secretly followed, but the figure and concealment methods of the person who were following were extremely clever, although they felt it, but they didn't even see the figure of the person who was being followed. So they walked cautiously along the way, and it was not until they encountered this rabble of bandits that they felt that the feeling of being followed was gone. But they didn't think that it was the spies sent by the bandits to follow them, otherwise, where would there be such a rabble of bandits.

Ling Tianyun faintly felt that this matter was not so simple, and that group of people had a certain purpose when they came to Wutai Mountain. Wutai Mountain is the holy land of Buddhism, and the Songshan Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains is equally famous, and the group of uninvited guests came to the holy land of Buddhism, but they don't know what kind of deed. For Ling Tianyun, who had dealt with the Khitans for many years, although this matter revealed an unusually strange touch, they were also in a situation now, and they had no energy to be distracted at all.

The two galloped all the way, and the horses they sat down raised layers of flying dust, which instantly filled the official road.

But he said that the big leader of the horse took the lead and led the thieves straight to his lair, but he had a belly of anger in his heart. The anger rushed from the bottom of his heart to his head like a raging fire. And he didn't care about the mud-covered follower Ma San who followed closely behind, and the rabble of accomplices and brothers behind him, although they were a little unbearable in appearance, but their foot strength and body skills were also agile. The speed of climbing the mountain is not as fast as the speed of descending.

Behind him was a scrawny horse that followed the strangely dressed bandits, and the horse, in addition to being scrawny, had almost lost its hair. The horse's fur was bare, and its mottled and variegated body had no luster at all. The horse followed the rabble of bandits in three leaps, and its speed did not lag behind the swift bandits who climbed the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, in a simple cottage, several bandits dressed in cloth fell softly in front of the village, and the sentry post was empty. A wooden bridge above a trench traverses the gully a few feet wide, and under the wooden bridge is a cloud of smoke, and the bottom of the strange rocky gully can be faintly seen.

Ma Chenghui led the thieves from the wooden bridge to the gate of the cottage made of thick wood, and found that the thieves who fell to the ground softly, and couldn't help but be angry, and hurriedly sent people to check the breath of the thieves who fell to the ground. And he couldn't care so much about himself, so he stepped into the gate of the cottage with his feet.

However, as soon as he entered the gate, he was immediately shocked, and the brothers who had remained in the cottage fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. The unexplained anger rushed straight to his head, and he picked up the ghost head knife and rushed inside. Then he rushed into the cottage, but he stopped abruptly. A few messy footsteps behind him were the bandits who followed closely, he didn't look back, and no one reported to him, but his heart sank. Knowing that his brothers were unlucky, it seemed that these people who had not yet shown up had come prepared.

As soon as his heart tightened, the leader of Ma Da immediately stabilized, and he had survived many winds and waves he had seen, and at this time, although he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, he had to force himself to calm down. Carrying the ghost head knife, he slowly walked towards the caves, and his hands couldn't help but hold the ghost head knife, and his heart was steady for a while.

There was silence all around, except for the cold wind that blew from the top of the mountain. The dead trees around the cottage swayed slightly, as if surrounded by strong soldiers on all sides. I don't know how much dense sweat appeared on his forehead, and the leader of the horse waved his hand, signaling the brothers after entering the village not to act rashly, while he walked cautiously towards his cave.

A strong uneasiness surged into his heart, Ma Chenghui had never felt so strongly, and his throat had long been dry because of that strong uneasiness. But before he approached his cave, he heard a few steady footsteps coming from the cave.

And he was even more shocked in his heart, and subconsciously took a few steps back, and the ghost head knife in his hand was raised.

I saw several burly men walking out of the cave, dressed in leather suits, a total of five people. A fishy smell of goat's milk poured out of the cave, each wearing a felt-fur hat on his head. Their appearance was different from that of ordinary people in the vicinity, with a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes, those eyes glowed like eagles, and the beard on their faces was even more fierce.

"Khitans", the first thought that flashed through Ma Chenghui's mind, he didn't expect that there would be five Khitans who came to his village at this time. The five Khitans exuded a strong bloody aura, which was mixed with the fishy smell of goat's milk, gushing out a strange aura, making Ma Chenghui suddenly feel suffocated. When the eyes of the five Khitans fell on him, he felt a chill all over his body, as if he was being targeted by five fierce beasts.

The intense uneasiness that swelled up in his heart became even stronger with the appearance of the five Khitans, and he gently bit his chapped lips. The leader of the bandits forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and he didn't know that his back was already soaked, and when the cold wind blew, he suddenly felt a feeling of ice on his body, and his whole body felt like he had fallen into the ice.

"You're the boss of this cottage?" One of the Khitans asked Ma Chenghui, who was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, with endless majesty in his tone, a lofty posture, and a palpitating cold glint in his eyes. It made the frightened leader of Ma Da even more uneasy.

"Yes, Lao Tzu exactly, I don't know what the five of you have to do in my cottage, the five came uninvited, and they hurt Lao Tzu's brother, it's too immoral."

Although layers of uneasiness surged in his heart, the leader of Ma Da, who had seen some of the world, still didn't want to lose face in front of his brothers, so he replied with his chest held high. The tone is even more aggressive, and this momentum cannot be weaker than the other party. He knew that these five Khitans must not be ordinary people, but he still felt that arrogance. Even if you are embarrassed, you can't lose momentum, which is what he often said in front of his brothers.

"With a broken cottage like you, I don't know how many I won. You rabble have not yet been put in our eyes. This time to your cottage is one thing, I want you to cooperate with us, and live together, or die otherwise. It's as simple as that, if you don't cooperate, then there is only one end, death. ”

Another Khitan couldn't help frowning when he saw the momentum of the big leader of the horse without showing weakness, and his tone was even more fierce and domineering. The other Khitans stood silent, but their eagle-eyed eyes radiated a chilling light. In their hands, they all held a saber shaped like a crescent, and even the sheath was shaped like a crescent, and from the sheathed scimitar there was a chilling bloody aura.

"You are Khitans, and you must have something to do when you come to the territory of my Han Kingdom. Lao Tzu is a thief, living on the tip of the knife, I don't know what kind of cooperation you are talking about. How to cooperate, Lao Tzu is also in a good mood, I want to hear what you say about the cooperation method. ”

Ma Chenghui knew that they must not look down on their own small cottage, but since they came here, they have something to ask for, and the so-called cooperation must be something for themselves. Thinking of this, his heart calmed down slightly, since the other party has something to ask for, then there is no danger to his small cottage for the time being, and his brothers and his own lives are also safe for the time being. That's why he asked the other party so confidently, he originally lived a bloody life like a knife, but as for why he was favored by the other party, he didn't understand at all.

"It's very simple, you can find out the mysterious bandit den in this Wutai Mountain, and you should have seen the two pedestrians just now. As long as you want to keep them in that Taiping Town for an extra day or two, our cooperation will be successful. As for the reward, I will not disappoint you. ”

The Khitan who had begun to speak spoke again, and the four Khitans beside him retreated behind him, intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously, this Khitan should be their leader, and after the Khitan finished speaking, a cold glint appeared from his eyes and stabbed straight into Ma Chenghui's eyes.

As soon as he came into contact with the eyes of the Khitans, Ma Chenghui was stunned, and he almost opened his mouth to sign, but there was a violent sting in his mind, and he forced back the words he was about to open his mouth to agree. This is one of his old problems, sometimes it happens often, sometimes it happens suddenly, and he doesn't know what the problem is, he can only call it a headache.

"There are so many cottages nearby, why did you find us?" , a tingling pain in his brain suddenly made him sober up, and he was even more frightened, he didn't expect that the Khitan on the other side would have any magic to control himself. secretly made a decision in his heart, he didn't believe that there would be any pie in the sky, and it happened to be cheaper for him.

"It's very simple, you are the most unpopular group of bandits, and thieves like you can do these two things well without making people suspicious. It's best to find a way to get close to the two pedestrians you've just met, see what kind of people they meet up with when they get to Taiping, and then report back to us. ”

"Yes, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll promise you. However, this reward, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, is it better to give half of it first", he had already made a decision in his heart, and Ma Chenghui readily agreed. He had already made a decision in his heart, it was better to conspire with the Khitans than with the tiger. There is also an unspeakable pain in his heart, which is related to the Khitans. Although he is a bandit, he has robbed and killed people, but he hates the Khitans even more. If it weren't for the sale of the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and if there were no fierce Khitans, he would probably have become a rich man at this time, enjoying the immortal life of three wives and four concubines. But all this has changed, and he has become an unruly bandit leader in this Wutai Mountain.
