At the foot of Yuezhao Mountain, two minions stood as straight as javelins, motionless, guarding the mountain gate. Even though this was just a mountain village where thieves gathered, there were many rules in the mountain, and they were even more meticulous in their execution.
The army is no less generous.
The two minions looked at the surrounding roads from time to time, paying attention to the wind and grass, which was quite conscientious.
Suddenly, one of the minions narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered something. He pushed the brother next to him and raised his hand to point to the end of the road.
There, two figures flew over at extremely fast speeds. It didn't take long before they flew close to the mountain gate.
This kind of lightning-fast light skill is definitely not something ordinary warriors can possess. The two minions were shocked and quickly cheered up, holding the weapons in their hands tighter.
After a while, two figures stopped in front of the mountain gate. They were a young man with a sword and a beast of unknown origin. In the hands of the young man, he was holding a bloody bag, which exuded an uncomfortable blood.
smell.
It is Zhao Zheng and Abao!
"This little brother, may I ask your name, what is the purpose of coming to Yuezhao Mountain?" One of the gangsters asked politely. He had seen Zhao Zheng's extremely light kung fu before, how dare he dare to be so presumptuous.
"I'm just an unknown soldier, not worth mentioning. The reason why I came here is to ask to see your Dazhai leader Zou Tianjin, and I also ask you to go up and report it. When you report it, remember to say to him,
I have his wife, Lu Xingyue, in my hands to prevent him from acting like the leader of the village and refusing to see me." Zhao Zheng said calmly.
"What?" The minions gasped. "Is the eldest lady in your hands?"
"This has nothing to do with you. You just have to report it as I say. Please move faster. If you take your time, I will rush up myself." Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said impatiently.
The matter was of great importance, and the strength shown by Zhao Zheng was quite impressive, so the two minions did not dare to neglect it. One person was left to watch Zhao Zheng, while the other ran up the mountain to report the news. The two minions guarding the mountain were obviously
He also had martial arts skills, and the person who went up the mountain moved very quickly and quickly disappeared on the mountain road.
The remaining man looked at Zhao Zheng and A Bao with strange expressions, especially looking at A Bao a few times, probably wondering what kind of beast this was.
Not long after, there was movement again on the mountain road. A strong man with an arrogant figure flew down and landed at the foot of the mountain. This man was a strong man, tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back, and had yellow hair.
The leopard's head is ringed with eyes, and he is very tough. On his back is a "Sun and Moon Convenient Chain Shovel". This weapon is relatively rare. It is one of the five elements of weapons outside the Twenty-Four Road. The overall shape is like
The shovel is connected by an iron rod. The head is as big as a basin and the end is extremely sharp, making it easy to blow and break hair.
The strong man fell to the ground silently, looked up at Zhao Zheng, and yelled: "Hey! Where did you come from, you little bastard, why are you making such arrogant remarks? Claiming to have captured the eldest lady of this mountain."
Zhao Zheng was also sizing up the strong man, and recognized the identity of the strong man at first sight. His name was Lu Bao, nicknamed "The Little Demon King", he was the second village leader of Yuezhao Mountain, and he had the eighth level of heaven.
His strength is not something that comes easily. If a timid person saw this menacing Lu Bao, he would be scared to death.
"Lu Bao, don't yell in front of me, I know your worth well. If you don't want your eldest lady to have an accident, just step aside and let me see your village master. If you are here
If you mess around with me here, don't blame me for being evil." Zhao Zheng threatened calmly.
"Good boy, you dare to come here and act wild. I'm really angry. I'll beat you to death with a shovel first, and then I will take your head to see the leader of the village."
I just want to take action.
At this critical moment, a shout came down from halfway up the mountain: "Lu Bao, wait a minute! We are a guest. Please invite this little brother up the mountain to talk first."
The loud voice was originally made by Zou Tianjin, the leader of the big village. Apparently, the minions had conveyed Zhao Zheng's words to his ears, so that he did not dare to neglect them.
Lu Bao was a rough man, and he usually admired Zou Tianjin the most for his literary and military skills. After hearing this order, he suppressed his anger. He snorted heavily, flew back to the mountain, and threw it before leaving.
The next sentence came: "Little bastard, if you have the guts, come up to the mountain and see if I don't eat you alive."
Zhao Zheng didn't take it seriously and was too lazy to argue with Lu Bao. He raised his hand and patted Abao's furry head. He took the "gift" in his hand and strode up the steps to climb the mountain.
This Yuezhao Mountain is majestic and steep, and the mountain road is not short. On both sides of the mountain road, there are many buildings and some "rolling logs and stones". It can be seen that this is a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there are no second-rate experts,
I'm afraid it won't be possible to help attack the mountain.
Zhao Zheng observed the situation on the mountain while walking, and remembered what he saw and heard so that he could explore this place at night in the future. Although he was a man of two generations and was no stranger to this place, the reality was still somewhat different.
On the way, some subordinates who had received the order met Zhao Zheng and led him to the top of the mountain. As for Zou Tianjin, Lu Bao and others, there was no trace. They must have reached the top of the mountain first.
Under the guidance of his subordinates, Zhao Zheng finally arrived at the top of the mountain. There was an artificially excavated square. A Juyi Hall was built on the square. At the door of the hall was a large sign with the four words "Heaven and Earth Don't Care".
Flag, so not arrogant.
The big flag erected on Shuibo Liangshan said "Practice for heaven", but the big flag here said "Heaven and earth have no regard". From this, we can see the difference in the ideological realm between the two.
.
Zhao Zheng didn't want to pay much attention to these details and strode into the Juyi Hall.
As expected, Zou Tianjin, Lu Bao and others were all staying in the Juyi Hall, waiting for Zhao Zheng to come to the door. Zhao Zheng kept saying that he had captured Lu Xingyue, so Zou Tianjin and others naturally would not look at Zhao Zhenghao's face. The atmosphere in the entire hall was
The killing was so overwhelming that one could hardly breathe.
Zhao Zheng scanned the situation in the palace, mainly looking at the village masters opposite.
There are five village masters in Yuezhao Mountain. At this time, four village masters have arrived, but one is missing. The four village masters present are the master of Dazhai Miaoshou Danqing, Zou Tianjin, and the master of the second village, the little devil Lu.
Leopard, the leader of the third village is the Thunderbolt Hand. Wu Nao, the leader of the fifth village is Xiao Zhuge. He is prosperous and talented.
As for the absent village leader, he is the fourth village master. This person has a rather weird personality and is very different from ordinary people. His absence is normal.
Anyone who can occupy a place on Yuezhao Mountain is not an ordinary person. Zou Tianjin, the leader of Dazhai, has a beautiful chest and is well-read in poetry and books. He is a very talented person. Before falling into a bandit, he once served as a scholar. The second village
Zhu Lu Bao has excellent martial arts and can be regarded as Zou Tianjin's right-hand man. Wu Nao, the leader of the third village, is proficient in traps and ambush, Qimen Dunjia, the rolling logs and stones on the mountain, and many traps. He designed and built them all, and he has made great contributions. The leader of the fourth village is
He is stronger than Lu Bao, but his personality is too weird to be useful. The leader of Wuzhai, Chang, is talented in both civil and martial arts. But he is not very good in both aspects. He is full of bad ideas and often gives Zou Tianjin some bad ideas, which is a bit of a fool.
The feeling of a military advisor.
Zhao Zheng wanted to bring down Yuezhao Mountain, and he mainly dealt with these five people. As long as these five people were eradicated, Yuezhao Mountain would be defeated without any attack. The mob below the five people was nothing to be afraid of.
On the first seat at the end of the hall, Zou Tianjin squinted his eyes as cold as a knife, staring at Zhao Zheng and the blood-stained cloth bag, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Zheng. After pondering for a moment, he broke the calm and said slowly: "
I heard you caught a bitch?"
"That's right." Zhao Zhengdao.
"What can be proved?"
"I have a small gift here. It's not a sign of respect, but I hope you'll accept it. When you see this gift, you will naturally understand that what I said is true." Zhao Zheng casually threw the bag in his hand to the ground. Then he flicked it
With his fingers, he used his internal force to cut open the bag.
Seeing Zhao Zheng's action, Nalu Bao immediately frowned and widened his eyes, obviously seeing something about Zhao Zheng.
The bag fell to the ground and spread out, revealing the fresh heads wrapped inside!
The human head's eyes, which contained pain and fear, were staring at Zou Tianjin's face.
Several gasps of air rang out in the hall. Several people left the table in shock, obviously not expecting that the so-called gift turned out to be a human head.
Immediately afterwards, some people recognized the identity of the head one after another and named the person. This was the bandit who had accompanied Lu Xingyue down the mountain before. His head could directly prove that Lu Xingyue fell into the hands of Zhao Zheng.
Several of the surrounding bandits became angry and prepared to capture Zhao Zheng. The atmosphere became even more tense. Especially Nalu Bao, who grabbed the Sun and Moon Convenient Chain Shovel in his hands.
Zhao Zheng was not afraid in the face of danger and looked coldly at the bandits who were making moves.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Zou Tianjin shouted in time: "Calm down, everyone, don't rush to take action. Things are not clear yet. If you take action rashly, aren't you afraid of killing my wife Yazhai?"
Zou Tianjin always had great authority, but after he stopped drinking, the agitated people all retreated to their original positions and looked at Zhao Zheng with unkind expressions.
"Little brother, since everything has been done, let's repay him with ten thousand yuan." Zou Tianjin said in a deep voice.
"I didn't come here to make friends with you bandits, so why bother giving me my name? You don't need to play around with me, let's talk about business." Zhao Zheng said calmly.
"You don't want to tell me your name, are you trying to make a mystery here?" Zou Tianjin revealed the secret and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Even if you remain anonymous, you can't scare me. If you have the ability to threaten me,
I have already taken action directly, how can I climb this mountain road obediently?"
"I'm not trying to be mysterious. The reason why I don't want to say my name is because I don't want my name to be spoken by you. If someone like you says my name, my name will be dirty."
"Haha, you are so sharp-tongued. It seems that the person who captured my wife Yazhai is not just an ordinary person. I just don't know why you wanted to capture my wife. Is it because she offended you?"
"She didn't offend me. I just couldn't stand what she did, so I captured her."
"She came down this time to help me deal with the magistrate of Jiyuan County. You said you couldn't understand what she did. You must have seen her doing things in the county government. Most people don't do such noisy things.
I don't have the ability to take care of it. You intervened in this matter and captured the bitch. You must be a nosy and capable young man, and your strength is at least above the seventh heaven. Also, if I hadn't
If you guess wrong, my bitch is most likely being imprisoned in a faraway county. If I want to save her, I have to send someone there." Zou Tianjin was like an outsider, calmly analyzing the situation.
The situation is very clear.
Zhao Zheng changed his color slightly. He never expected that Zou Tianjin could guess so much, which made him passive to a certain extent. He had hostages in hand, and he should have the upper hand in this negotiation. He should take the initiative, how could he let the other party
Lead the way by the nose.
"Your wife is in our hands. We advise you not to act rashly. If you want her to return to you safely, make a deal with me." Zhao Zheng interrupted.
"If my prediction is correct, there should be no helpers around you, probably only the people from Jiyuan County. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here alone. With the cats and dogs in Jiyuan County's Yamen, you want to trap them
It's not that easy to be a bitch. Likewise, it shouldn't be difficult for me to rescue a bitch." Zou Tianjin further analyzed.
"Oh? From your tone, you don't want to have a good negotiation with me, but you want to forcefully rescue Lu Xingyue." Zhao Zhenghan said.
"Haha, it's precisely because we are negotiating. That's why I say these things. If I don't sort out the situation between the enemy and ourselves clearly, won't I suffer a big loss in the negotiation?" Zou Tianjin sneered three times and teased, "Is it possible?
, do you think that by catching the bitch, you can make me take advantage of you and let you control me? If you really think so, you are too naive."
"If you have this attitude, it seems that there is no need for us to continue talking. You can continue to infer according to your thinking, or you can continue to do what you want to do, but I will not accompany you." Zhao Zhengyi
Holding fists, "Goodbye."
"Slow down!" Zou Tianjin shouted and stopped Zhao Zheng, "Young hero, don't be angry, we still have to continue talking. Since you came here specially, you must have a plan. If you leave directly, wouldn't you?
Come here for free."
Zhao Zheng didn't really want to leave, he just wanted to scare Zou Tianjin. He stopped immediately.
"Although the young hero refuses to give me his name, based on your appearance and the strength you have shown, I have already guessed your identity. You are young, with a sharp sword hanging on your waist and a sword case on your back.
, and with a rare bird and beast like Pixiu by your side, there is only one young hero in the world who can compete with you." Zou Tianjin asked tentatively, "You should be Zhao Zheng, right?"
Zhao Zheng did not give his name, but he did not expect to be recognized. Now that the matter was over, there was no need to be secretive anymore. He nodded slightly towards Zou Tianjin and admitted the matter.
"Haha, no wonder you dare to interfere in the affairs of our Yuezhao Mountain. It turns out that you are confident. Behind you, you have the support of the Taishan Sect, which is really scary. However, I have to remind you in advance that our Yuezhao Mountain is not a simple one.
Shanzhai is also backed by other big forces. If you go against us, you won't get any benefits. Let me advise you, it's better to stop as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble and causing trouble!" Zou Tianjin threatened with a sneer.
"These few words, I give them to you intact. Anyone who commits injustice will be punished by death. You send people everywhere to commit evil, which is not tolerated by heaven. If you continue like this, you will definitely arouse public anger. By then, there will be people in the world.
People with knowledge gather together to attack, even if you have a few backers, it will be useless, no one can protect your little Langya Ridge Yuezhao Mountain!" Zhao Zheng said fiercely.
"I naturally have my own purpose for doing this. I don't need you to meddle in other people's business, and I don't need you, a yellow-haired boy, to talk to me here." Zou Tianjin leaned back and made his body more comfortable. "
Okay, I’ve figured out your details, and there’s no need to beat around the bush anymore. Tell me directly what your purpose is and what kind of deal you want to do with me.”
Zhao Zheng didn't expect to convince Zou Tianjin with just a few words. In the end, he still had to fight with the opponent based on the cards he had in hand. He took a deep breath and said bluntly: "I thought about the content of the transaction before I came here. It's very simple. You
Promise not to send people to harass the surrounding people for half a month, and after half a month I will naturally hand over Lu Xingyue and several other bandits intact to you."
"You want me to stand still for half a month?"
"Exactly."
"Haha, this deadline is a bit too long, I can't accept it. Half a month's time is too variable. If you delay it for so long, I'm afraid you have already called in all the brothers from the Taishan sect, which is too much for me.
It’s not good. The most I can do is promise you not to harass the people around you within five days. After five days, you will return my wife and a few brothers from the mountain to me.”
"Five days is too short, and I can't accept it either." Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "How about we each take a step back and set the date as seven days?"
"Seven days..." Zou Tianjin thought for a moment, nodded, "Okay. Seven days, seven days. I'll sell the Taishan pie for every penny, I promise you."
"The matter is settled like this. I hope you won't break your promise. Within seven days, Yuezhao Mountain is not allowed to harm the surrounding people in the slightest. If you abide by the agreement, I will let Lu Xingyue and others come back after seven days."
"Okay, I will definitely abide by this agreement." Zou Tianjin squinted at Zhao Zheng and warned, "In these seven days, I hope you can control the cats and dogs in the yamen and let them take good care of my wife.
, don’t wait too long on her.”
"Don't worry, she is indispensable for three meals a day." Zhao Zheng assured.
"Zhao Zheng, besides this matter, do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?" Zou Tianjin asked.
"I don't have anything else to do, but before I leave, I want to give you four words."
"Which four words?" Zou Tianjin raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"Take care of yourself!"
Zhao Zheng dropped these four words, called Abao beside him, and walked out of the Juyi Hall without looking back.
Zou Tianjin stared at Zhao Zheng's back, his pupils narrowed to the size of a pinhead.
