Chapter 43 Thousands of Miles to Find Relatives Rolling Python Mountain Lord
The western frontier of the Wei State, rolling Mang Mountain. k update
In a dock fort in the mountains, the mountain advocate is half-lying on the couch, he is about forty years old, dignified, black hair and beautiful beard, although his cheeks are thin, his complexion is dull, it can be seen that he is seriously ill, but his eyes are still majestic and bright.
He first glanced at his five sons standing in front of the bed, and when he saw that they were submissive and did not dare to look up, he couldn't help but look disappointed.
He slowly looked away again, and cast his eyes on the two middle-aged men who were about the same age as himself not far away, sighed, and said, "Brother Liang Wu, Brother Qian Tong, you have been on my mountain for twenty years, right?"
Liang Wu was stunned, and then remembered something, and sighed: "Yes, Dutong led the brothers up the mountain in Yongtai for three years, and now it has been exactly twenty years. ”
Zhang Zhan nodded.
When he was seven years old, he was kidnapped by a group of strongmen and sold to the western frontier, and later because of pity for a dying old Taoist, he gave him a sip of water to drink, but not that old Taoist gave him a martial arts scripture, so as to practice a lifetime of good martial arts.
At the age of fourteen, he enlisted in the army, and in only six years, he accumulated military merits and rose to the capital, and then because the Shangguan was killed in battle, he was afraid that he would be punished for going back, so he led more than 300 troops to attack the mountain at night, and after exterminating it, he set up a camp on this rolling mountain and occupied the mountain as the king.
As luck would have it, they found a fertile basin in the middle of the mountain that could support tens of thousands of people, and in ecstasy, they began to gather the displaced people.
For decades, Hu Min fought endlessly with many feudal feudal domains in the frontier, and more and more displaced people came to him, and his shili became bigger and bigger, not only built a camp in the mountains, but also built more than a dozen dock forts under the mountain, farmed and collected taxes, cast armor and weapons, strong bows and crossbows, and purchased horses.
Now he has more than 100,000 people, 8,000 soldiers, armor and horses, and it is a rare big shili within a radius of hundreds of miles. But now, all this can't resist the disease.
Zhang Zhan sighed: "I'm old. ”
Liang Wu hurriedly said: "Dutong Fang is only forty years old, how can he say that he is old?"
Zhang Zhan said in a deep voice: "Liang Wu, you remember, if I die, you will preside over all the things on the mountain." ”
Liang Wu was shocked and lost his voice: "Dutong, how can you say this, this is just a small illness, just recuperate for a while, how can you talk about life and death lightly?"
Zhang Zhan laughed at himself and said: "I know my own affairs, and this time I am terminally ill, and I will definitely die soon." ”
Team Liang wanted to say something again, his lips just moved, but Zhang Zhan stretched out his hand to stop him, he was saying something, when he suddenly heard a cry, Zhang Zhan frowned, knowing that it was his useless sons, his heart suddenly became bored, and shouted angrily: "Cry, cry, I break his leg!"
He has been killing and taking away for more than 20 years, and his sons immediately stopped crying in this anger, and they were all silent.
When another middle-aged man in front of the bed saw it, his heart palpitated, and his eyes showed a bit of complexity.
After scolding, Zhang Zhan seemed to feel a little struggling, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then turned to Liang Wuyan and said: "Brother Liang, you have also seen that my sons are all unsuccessful, if you don't come to take over this mountain, who else can now? The hard work of the old brothers over the years cannot be wasted." ”
Liang Wu shook his head resolutely and said: "That's not possible, the eldest nephew is still learning martial arts in the Lingqiao Dao Palace, and he should take over the foundation laid by Dutong." ”
The eldest nephew he said in his mouth is Zhang Zhan's eldest son, Zhang Chunde, because Zhang Zhan received the great grace of the Taoist priest when he was young, so he was quite in awe of the Taoist, this son was sent to the Lingqiao Dao Gongwu by him since he was a child, and he only came back once the year before last, although he was only nineteen years old, but he fought with his bare hands, but no one in the mountains was his opponent, and he was able to fight with a spear, and he was able to defeat hundreds of people, and the brave and martial arts were abnormal, and the younger generation in the Rolling Python Mountain was extremely convinced of him. ..., Zhang Zhan suddenly turned his head sideways and asked the fierce man who had never spoken, and said, "Brother Qian Tong, what do you see?"
Qian Tong was suddenly asked, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural, he coughed, and said: "Dechun is brave and strong, and he should take over this foundation." ”
Zhang Zhan said in a deep voice: "Young people are rough, where can they convince the public?"
Liang Wu said loudly: "Dutong, what are you talking about? If you let your eldest nephew take over, who dares to have crooked thoughts, I, Liang Wu, will be the first to not let him go! ”
Qian Tong's eyelids jumped, although he seemed to be nothing, but there was a slight coldness in his eyes.
Zhang Zhan sighed: "Then let's talk about it in two days, you go out first, and I will have a few words with the children." ”
Liang Wu and Qian informed him that he had something to say to his family in private, so they both arched their hands and retreated.
After they left, Zhang Zhan's eyes turned, zuihou landed on a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, showed a smile, and said, "Lingyu, you come here, everyone else goes." ”
His sons were all born to concubines, and their personalities were cowardly, and when they heard this, they walked out as if they had been pardoned, and only the girl came up, sat on the bed, and held her father's hand, and she only felt that the usually strong and warm hand was now weak and soft, and it was cold, and she couldn't help but be gloomy for a while, and said, "Daddy." ”
Zhang Zhan grabbed her wrist back, and the latter only felt pain in her wrist, but he didn't dare to pull it out.
Zhang Zhan's eyes were full of majesty, and he said in a low voice: "Ling'er, listen to me, someone wants to harm your father, you go out of the mountain tonight, go to find your eldest brother, and let him come back overnight." ”
He was originally physically strong, and he also had the art of practicing qi in a superficial way, cold and heat did not invade, and all kinds of diseases did not arise, this evil disease came inexplicably, so he suspected that he had fallen into the evil way, but he was not sure who was going to harm him, so he tried it, although he had a little bottom in his heart, but he did not dare to take risks, so he asked this brave daughter to go down the mountain to pick up the eldest son back.
Zhang Lingyu was stunned and said, "Daddy, I ......"
Zhang Zhan said undoubtedly: "Don't ask, just do it, if you can't find him before dawn, you must not go back to the mountain, and he will avenge me in the future, go!"
Zhang Lingyu hesitated, bit his lower lip, and said, "Yes, Daddy." ”
After Qian Tong returned to his house, he sat silently for a long time, then got up and went to the back hall, pushed the door and entered, there was a Taoist sitting on the futon, this person had a pointed chin and thin eyes like slits, sitting there, I couldn't see whether he was open or closed.
Qian Tong asked with a gloomy face, "When will he die?"
A trace of light flashed in the eyes of the Taoist, and he said: "It won't be long before I have been poisoned by my 'Dissipation of the Yuan', and at most tomorrow night, I will definitely die, didn't you say that you are not in a hurry?"
Qian Tong's face changed for a while, and he sighed: "The tiger is not invincible, Zhang Zhan is seriously ill, and his life is short, but I tried around, but no one dared to make any abnormal moves." ”
The Taoist said: "If you want him to die early, it's simple." ”
Qian Tong was a little moved, hesitated for a while, then forcibly suppressed this thought, and said: "No, if he dies suddenly, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Liang Wu and those old brothers, and now is not a good time to do it." ”
At this time, a middle-aged woman with a fat face hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, master, something ...... something."
Qian Tong glanced at her and said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"Zhang Lingyu went down the mountain half an hour ago. ”
"It's going down the hill, it's going down, what's ......"
Qian Tongcai was only halfway through speaking, but he reflected, his face suddenly changed, he stood up, and said, "It's not good! Send someone to chase after you!"
The middle-aged woman pouted and said, "That little lady is riding a green shadow fast horse in the castle, this horse is a tribute from Yu Mianguo, where can I catch up?", Qian Tong showed a gaze that wanted to eat people, and said sharply: "I told you to stare at Zhang Zhan's backyard, why did you find out at this moment?"
The middle-aged woman was so shocked that she took two steps back, covered her chest with her hands and said: "What are you yelling, that little lady walks through a secret waterway, if it weren't for the slave family who has eyeliner outside the mountain, I don't know that she has left the castle." ”
Qian Tong had green muscles on his forehead, walked back and forth irritably, and said to himself: "When she goes down the mountain at this time, she must be going to call that Zhang Chunde back, this little beast is strong in martial arts, if I wait for him to come back, won't I have lost all my previous achievements?"
The man said firmly: "Why should the Lord of Qianshan be impatient, it is not worth it in the eyes of the poor Dao." ”
"Oh, what is the plan of Daoist Hu?"
Hu Daoren said coldly: "Let's see if I perform a technique, I can take the life of this Ling'er thousands of miles away." ”
Qian Tong was suspicious, why did this nonsense man have to come to the mountains to take people's lives thousands of miles away? But now he can only live as a horse as a Sima doctor, so he said: "Can this be done? Then ask the Taoist chief to do it." ”
Hu Daoren smiled, and there were words in his mouth.
He didn't have the ability to take people's lives thousands of miles away, but he had done things in the stables at this time, especially a few horses, and just a mantra would make him mad and throw people off, which was just a small skill, but he had to exaggerate it as much as possible in his words, so that others would fear him.
But Qian Tong was still not at ease, thought about it, his face turned hideous, and said: "Zhang Zhan must be suspicious of me, and now that he can't control so much, let's do it!"
He turned his head, clenched his fists and said, "Daoist Hu, it's all up to you!"
The Taoist haha smiled, stood up, and said: "Lord Qianshan, it should have been like this a long time ago, do it early, why bother so much, who do you want to kill, just talk to the poor Dao, ensure that no one is missed, and all of them will be over." ”
Qian Tong heard him call himself the master of the mountain, and the heat in his heart jumped up a little, his eyes were fierce, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his palm, and said: "Daoist Hu, if this matter is successful, I will never break my promise, and I will offer five hundred boys and girls for you to make alchemy every year!"
Hu Daoren's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "Lord Qianshan, a word is a certainty! Okay, the poor Dao will cast a spell." ”
After Zhang Ling'er went down the mountain, he galloped all the way, but he couldn't see the road ahead clearly at night, and he couldn't gallop as hard as he could.
After all, she was just a little girl, her heart was anxious and restless, this distraction, there was nothing else, suddenly, the horse under her trembled, suddenly neighed, closed her hooves and shrugged, and volleyed her whole person out of the air.
Zhang Ling'er's face was pale, if this fall was implemented, she would be half-crippled if she didn't die, just when she felt that she was never lucky, her arm was supported by a soft force, and she stood firmly on the ground.
As soon as she looked up, she saw a young Taoist standing in front of her, looking at his appearance, but he was vaguely familiar, Zhang Ling'er's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but call out in surprise: "Big brother, but you, hurry, go and save Daddy, Daddy is going to be killed by bad people." ”
The man's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "Don't be impatient with your niece, there is a poor way, who can ruin his life?"
