Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The place name of Funiuzhai does not exist in any official classics and documents. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) However, for the people of the Taihang Mountains, this is a place of great fame.
There are 21 cottages in Taihang Mountain, which are not subject to the control of the imperial court, and the largest and most prosperous is the barberry village. Funiu Village is located in the south of Shangdang County, between Taihang Pass and Yangjihan Road, and is the place where several mountain roads that do not belong to Taihang Bacheng converge. For decades, all kinds of undignified characters such as smuggler salt dealers, river and ocean thieves, green forest heroes, fugitive tenants, etc., have gathered and scattered here, and there are all kinds of businesses such as selling stolen goods, gathering gambling, leading the way to sneak over the checkpoint and so on to take it as a base, and over time, there is Funiu Village, the source of the abandoned people of the imperial court.
From a distance, the barberry village stands on the top of a mountain peak. The mountain is steep on all sides, with almost upright cliffs and bottomless streams on both sides, which can only be climbed by a stone staircase that leads to Guò. At the top of the mountain peak is a flat land with a radius of tens of acres. There are many houses on the flat ground, which are unplanned, squeezed and stacked on top of each other, and 6 Haruka can't help but think of the slums of Rio de Janeiro that he saw in the movies in his previous life.
As the crowd was about to move forward, a group of people suddenly jumped out on both sides of the road, holding shovels, dung forks and other farm tools to block the way. This group of people were ragged, all skinny and skinny, but their eyes were extremely vicious, like fierce dogs.
Wang De, the guard who led the way first, was not surprised. He raised his voice and said: "We are the guests of the master of Zhang Zhai, and I came to visit the day before yesterday. Ladies and gentlemen, please let me go. ”
The villagers were indifferent and silent. One of them stepped forward and looked at Wang De, nodded, and turned to leave. The rest of the people scattered immediately after him, and their figures disappeared into the dense forest on both sides of the road, and soon disappeared. There was no hindrance, and the people rode their horses again. After about half a mile ahead, the terrain gradually rose, and the road bends left and right along the terrain, and every dozen zhang is a corner. On both sides of the road, small patches of farmland and some houses are scattered.
While he was in a hurry, 6 Yao suddenly took the horse and turned sideways. A man in a green robe stood with his hands folded over his shoulders, looking at this place with cold eyes. This man was tall and fat, with a rebellious face, and his hair fluttering in the wind. After looking at him from afar, he did not shy away, and a pair of shining eyes still scanned this side unscrupulously.
Wang De passed by 6 Yao and said indifferently: "General 6 doesn't need to pay attention to him. This person is Xiang Fei, a thief from Bingzhou who has recently taken refuge in Funiu Village, and he is the most vicious. ”
"It turned out to be him." 6 Haruka nodded slightly. I have long heard of the name of this fly, this person is a well-known bandit leader in Bingzhou, who has been evil in the southern counties of Bingzhou for many years, and there are more than 100 lives under his hands. Over the past few years, the Assassin Mansion has captured documents in Guanghai, and even once called on the officials and soldiers to arrest him, but he had no choice but to get him.
Since Wang De said, 6 Yao does not want to be troublesome. He took the reins with him and steered his horse to catch up with the rest of the people.
After walking for a short time, I saw a middle-aged man running from the front, waving from a long distance, shouting: "Your guest is here!" There is a loss in the next place! ”
Pei Langjun glanced at him, and Wang De immediately greeted him and arched his hand: "Master Zhangzhai." ”
From the villagers blocking the road, I saw that the owner of the village greeted him, and it was only half a quarter of time before and after, and I don't know what channel was used to transmit the information. Although this barberry village is a place outside the country, the layout is not simple, and it cannot be underestimated. 6 Haruka thought secretly in his heart, and looked at the person in front of him.
Zhang Zhaizhu had dark skin, his face was full of weather, and his coarse cloth clothes were covered with several patches of different colors, and he was dressed like a farmer. However, from the details of his walking posture, hands and shoulders, it can be seen that this man is definitely a strong warrior who has been baptized by war.
The owner of Zhang Zhai laughed and said: "Mr. Wang is polite, Zhang is just a steward who ushered in and sent him, where can he be called the owner of the village." He lowered his voice and asked, "I just came out of my place the day before yesterday, why did you return so quickly?" Could it be that there is something wrong? ”
Wang De had a calm face: "The Xiongnu army is approaching Taihang, and it is difficult to pass through the passes along the way. ”
"You are all nobles, the so-called daughter body can't sit down, it's better to be cautious." Master Zhang Zhai nodded again and again. He looked at the rest of the people and asked, "Where are those people in Lao Su?" How do you get y'all back......"
"The group of people surnamed Su actually wanted to kill people and sell goods halfway through. Are you people in Barberry Village doing things like this? Wang De was immediately furious.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Zhai was slightly startled.
Wang De snorted angrily: "How can there be such a thing? Zhang Lao'er, I should ask you this! ”
"Mr. Wang, don't worry. If that Su is really so reckless, my Funiu Village has strict rules, and I will never tolerate such scum. I immediately reported to the owner of Dazhai, captured Su and others, and dealt with them heavily! ”
"There is no need to bother the owner of the village." Wang De shook his head and said: "Sixteen people below Boss Su have all been subdued. If the owner of Zhang Zhai has a heart, he might as well send someone to collect the corpse. ”
"......" Zhang Zhai didn't know what to say for a while. The group of "distinguished guests" in front of them came to Funiu Village a few days ago, and their leader, that is, the young man surnamed Pei, seemed to have an old relationship with the owner of the village, and he gave him gold and silk when he met, which was very generous. Now it seems that they are not only very powerful, but also have few spicy means.
He thought about it, this matter should be left to the owner of Dazhai to worry about, so he simply talked about him left and right, talked about today's weather hahaha and the like, let Wang De not forgive, and repeatedly accused Funiu Village of not doing things authentically.
Zhang Zhai Zhu and Wang De talked, Pei Langjun and the others only stood in the back and did not make a sound. The owner of Zhang Zhai is an old Jianghu, and he knows that this team of distinguished guests is very proud of their identity, and they have no intention of making friends with the reckless people, so they don't come to talk. He made peace with Wang Deying for a few words, and then hurriedly raised his hand and entered the guest.
The trail was too treacherous, no more than three feet wide, with nearly upright rock walls on the left and mist-shrouded valleys on the right. In many places, it is really impossible to open up roads, so they dig holes in the stone walls, insert wooden stakes into the holes, and then use wooden planks to lay them horizontally on the piles to form a plank road. People walk on it, as if walking on the road of heaven.
Everyone led their horses and moved around, and every step was frightened. Walked cautiously for half an hour before boarding the Funiu Village.
At the foot of the mountain, I don't think I feel it from a distance, but when I climb to the top of the peak and look around, I see a vast empty world, and under the stacking of clouds, the blue-gray mountain seems to be rolling waves, and it has been connected to the distant sky. And the long river is like practice, running through the magnificent mountains, adding thousands of weather.
In the past two days, everyone has walked through the poor mountains and deep valleys for a long time, and when they look up, they are all cliffs and cliffs, and at this time they finally feel cheerful. Pei Langjun sighed: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world. Only at this time can we appreciate the courage of the sages. ”
Zhang Zhai Lord accompanied along the way, taking care of the front and back, and also boarded up at this time. Probably because of the hard work of mountain climbing, the face is full of hot sweat.
Although there was an accident with Boss Su, he was still polite and courteous, and took Pei Langjun and others all the way to the largest and only inn in Funiu Village. The scale of this inn is not small, three into three, upstairs and downstairs. There were quite a few inhabitants in the inn, and they were drinking and shouting loudly, and they were very noisy.
Of course, Pei Langjun would not live in such a pickled place. Under the guidance of Zhang Zhai, everyone walked through the hall and arrived at a quiet courtyard. The courtyard is located on the edge of the hilltop platform, and the courtyard is different from usual, with the gate opening due south, the houses on the east and north sides, and the low courtyard wall on the west side is beyond the cliffs. Looking out from the railing, you can see a waterfall flying down from the top of the mountain, which is refreshing. The furnishings in the house are not luxurious, but they are spotlessly clean. At the gate of the courtyard, six servants in Tsing Yi stood with their hands tied, very respectful.
"Distinguished guests, settle down first, rest your legs and feet." Zhang Zhai said with a smile: "The big village master will arrive later." ”
Hearing him say this, Pei Langjun suddenly snorted coldly and walked into the main room by himself.
Seeing that Pei Langjun looked unhappy, Wang De's words immediately became three points stern: "Master Zhangzhai, you have to always interrupt." Your guide in the barberry village sought money and killed him, if we hadn't been vigilant, he would have almost had a big disaster. This matter is not trivial, and someone has to give an explanation. ”
Master Zhang Zhai said with a bitter face: "Why should Mr. Wang be like this. Where can we manage those mountain people in Funiu Village? We're just going to be middle-aged and introduce you two to each other......"
"Hehe, the master of Zhang Zhai still had some bold words the day before yesterday, saying that the barberry village said one thing in this thousand miles of Taihang Mountain, stomped the foot of the mountain and shook the ground, but at this moment he said that he could not control the mountain people, which was obviously perfunctory! What's more, even if the Chinese are not sure, do you dare to say that you don't have a little responsibility? Wang De shook his head.
This is a bit rushed, and the implication is clearly that the barberry village has a false reputation, and it is not credible. Zhang Zhai's eyes suddenly widened, and he was going to refute two sentences.
Suddenly, I heard a silver bell-like laughter outside the courtyard gate: "I'm late, I'm late!" Pei Jia...... Pei Jialangjun must not be blamed! As he spoke, a woman turned out from behind the wall.
