The tall and thin man shook his head: "I didn't think about it so much, but now there is nowhere to go, who is it not for sale?" I think this Master Dong is a reliable one-"

Humpty Dumpty laughed, "What if it's unreliable? ”

"If it's unreliable?" The corners of the thin man's mouth pulled down, and his face became a little cold: "I will vote for the king, relying on our skills, where can we starve to death?" ”

Humpty Dumpty shook his head and said no more.

The two continued on their way.

Soon, you will enter the depths of the birch forest.

The birch forests are endless, seemingly endless.

In the depths of the birch forest, after the two had advanced for about two miles, they turned a corner and saw a very large ravine, which was about ten zhang deep, with a very steep slope and covered with large rocks and grass.

The two cautiously slipped out and came to the bottom of the ravine.

The ravine is like a huge gap, opening a big crack in the main peak of Liuling Mountain, and its bottom is about six or seven zhang wide, looking up, I don't know how high. At the bottom, on one side was rocky and full of boulders, and on the other side was a stream, but it was frozen and white ice.

The two of them walked along the ravine for about a hundred feet, when suddenly there was a murky sound of breaking the sky, and a stone about the size of a fist fell more than three feet in front of them, hitting the stone ground, splashing a spark, and then bouncing again. One. Root. Read. The novel opened, smashed on the ice on one side, and splashed countless pieces of broken ice.

Both of them were shocked, especially Humpty Dumpty, who was thinking about something, and was so frightened that he was angry, and he opened his mouth to scold: "Which bastard, I don't have to entertain Lao Tzu?" ”

"Ouch, it turned out to be Uncle Qiu and Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see it clearly that it was you, I almost smashed you, didn't I compensate you?"

There was a sound from the mountain wall on the left hand side of the two of them, one poking down from the mountain wall, and a loud voice.

It's just that his tone is very playful and ridiculous, so where does he really mean to apologize?

The tall and thin man and the short and fat man all looked up at the sound, and it turned out that the mountain wall was about five zhang high from the bottom, but there was a depression, not even a cave, but a deep one-zhang deep, and there were two dark green mountain pines under the depression, which just blocked the view below. If you look closely, you can find that there is a dilapidated house built with wood and stones on it, and whether it can shelter from the wind or not, the head is poking out of a hole.

Humpty Dumpty saw the appearance of the person above clearly, and immediately became furious, jumping to his feet and scolding: "Zhao Lezi, you bastard, dare to play with your grandfather?" Lao Tzu breaks your dog's legs! ”

The person above originally had a grinning smile on his face, but when he heard him say this, he immediately smiled, and spit out a mouthful of spit: "Lao Tzu is playing you, what can you do to your Lao Tzu?" The birds that came to bite me? ”

Humpty Dumpty was about to scold the tall and thin man again, he had already pulled his arm and left, and when he left, he stared at the top of the head suspiciously, and sneered: "Talking nonsense with him is so much, one day, but he must regret being born in this world!" ”

The person above swept away his viper-like cold eyes, and unconsciously a chill came from the soles of his feet, and he turned his head and didn't dare to look at him again.

Needless to say, these two people are Qiu Ping and Liu Facheng. After the two of them were sent out to Dong Ce, they threw themselves into the group of bandits in Liuling Mountain, how could this bandit have any name? It's just that the big boss has a mixed name called 'Tietaibao', so this group of bandits is called the Tietaibao of Liuleng Mountain.

It is said that this Tie Taibao is a disciple of the Shaolin layman, and he is extremely profound in his thirteen Taibao horizontal training, and he is invulnerable. There are more than 100 brothers under his hands, and they can be regarded as bullies. But it is also bullying and bullying the people, if you want to say that it comes and goes like the wind like the white pockmarked gang, and the government is right, it is absolutely undaring.

Jiangyang thieves such as Qiu Ping and Liu Facheng are also well-known figures in the Tao, and they came to defect to Tie Taibao, and Tie Taibao was naturally overjoyed. But no matter how happy you are, there is a procedure that is inevitable - to vote for your name.

The rules of the 63 provinces in the south and north of the Ming Dynasty must not be broken.

He asked the two of them to go down the mountain to Qilidian Town, which was twenty-seven miles away from Liuling Mountain, to kill the head of the Su family and the eldest son of the big family in the town, and bring the head back.

However, the Tie Taibao really valued them very much, and promised in front of the big and small leaders in the village that as long as the two of them could come back with the vote certificate, they would be the third and fourth masters. One is in charge of patrolling the mountains and guarding, and the other is in charge of taking people out to rob houses.

That's two fat differences.

And the Tie Tai Bao did this, but also had the intention of splitting the power of the two masters - before this, there were originally three masters in the village, but since the three masters were arrested by the government two months ago and their whereabouts are unknown, the authority of the two masters has become bigger and bigger, and it has gradually threatened the Tie Tai Bao.

He is like this, one is to divide power, and the other is to cultivate henchmen.

It's just that this has caused the second boss to be very dissatisfied, although he doesn't dare to oppose it in public, but it is more than enough to stumble on them and make them have a bad heart. The guy who just scolded was the subordinate of the second master.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but the two of them didn't expect that this cottage, a group of heroes, also has so many crooked ways in it.

After walking forward for more than a dozen battles, the mountain wall is at the end, and when I turn left, it is a large mountain dam. Because it is in a ravine, surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is no cold wind raging, and the temperature here is higher than outside.

At the end of the dam is a gentle slope covered with birch forests, and beyond the woods is a wooden stockade.

When they arrived, there were people patrolling the sentry, and a bandit who looked like a leader wearing a blue satin cotton robe and carrying a waist knife in his hand saw them and hurried to meet them.

He was of short stature, and he didn't know who was robbing the wide and large cotton robe, and there were many blood stains and oil stains on the empty, fine blue satin cloth hanging on him, and a big red cotton cloak hanging behind him, which was nondescript. He turned his gaze on the bulging cloth bag and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the two masters, this name has to be taken back!" ”

Qiu Ping has some means to deal with people, and he went up with a smile and pulled him through, and after a while, the two of them were very familiar with each other, and they were almost called brothers.

Liu Facheng just listened with a cold face next to him.

The leader sent someone to deliver the message, and then led the two of them to the stockade in a hurry.

This cottage is built on a six or seven foot high tooth, and only a gentle slope leads down to the entrance of the village, which has the same function as a suspension bridge. The walled wall is built of large trees mixed with earth and stone, and it is one zhang high, and people can stand on it, and it is very solid. It is said that officers and soldiers once fought here, and many people died without being defeated.

As soon as the two of them went up the gentle slope, they heard a loud laughter: "Two virtuous brothers, two virtuous brothers, really live up to my brother's expectations!" ”

As soon as the people spoke, a middle-aged man in his forties was surrounded by several minions and strode out of the door. This man is the big boss of the cottage here, Tie Taibao. It's just that the person is not as good as his name, he is not tall, only medium, and he can't see how strong he is, but his face is a little yellow, he looks a little sickly, and his steps are vain, and he is clearly hollowed out by wine.

Qiu Zhang and both of them clasped their fists and saluted: "I've seen the big boss!" ”

"Look at you two politely!" Tie Taibao stepped forward and patted them on the shoulder intimately, and said with a smile: "Brother knows that this little thing is not a problem. ”

Qiu Pingxiao's eyes were only slit: "With my brother's words, if I can't do it, brother, where will I put this face?" ”

The two of them untied the cloth bag from their waists and threw it on the ground, and two bloody human heads rolled out.

Tie Taibao stepped forward and took a closer look, nodded and said, "Yes, it's these two miscellaneous pieces!" If it weren't for the third child to let them recognize him when they were eating wine in their restaurant, and drugged the third child in the wine and turned it over, with the third child's skills, the government's waste fast hands could capture people? ”

"Third brother, fourth brother, you have avenged the third brother!" Tie Taibao suddenly took two steps back, clasped his fists and bowed to them: "Brother is here, thank you for the third child!" ”

"Eh, big brother, where did you come from?" Qiu Ping hit the snake with the stick, pinched his thigh fiercely, and suddenly his eyes were a little red: "Let's do this, it's our part!" If you say that again, it's a raw point! ”

He said with some relatives: "The third brother is already unlucky, you have to take care, our village can count on the eldest brother!" ”

A few people were polite again, then let them in, and went to the justice hall together.

In the hall, the Tie Taibao appointed the errand of the two in public, the situation is stronger than the people, and the two leaders are helpless.

The big boss is in charge of personnel, money and the treasury, the third boss Qiu Ping is in charge of patrolling the mountains, and the fourth boss Liu Facheng is in charge of stepping on plates and probing posts. As a result, the authority of the two leaders was almost divided, the right to speak was greatly reduced, and many party henchmen left him and defected to the two new leaders.

……

In the blink of an eye, three or five days have passed.

The cottage is not big, but there are only one or two hundred people, and there are more than ten miles of ground around, and soon Qiu Zhang and the others are familiar with this village.

The two of them were born as thieves, and there is nothing to say about the kung fu in their hands, and they can't talk about flying eaves and walls, but they exhale and open their hands, and their legs rush to the roof with all their might, which can still be done.

(This is not an exaggeration, the author's local area is quite martial, and there are many martial arts schools.) The mother of the principal of a martial arts school who is inconvenient to reveal her name is the successor of that series of kung fu, and when she is in her sixties and seventies, she can still jump on the roof with one lunge. are also a little scheming, in the past few days, the number of roads has been understood, and the two have quietly integrated into this gang. It was late at night.
