Cang Lang was very handsome. If he wasn't wearing a robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a gray wolf-skin mat sitting under his buttocks, anyone who looked at him would have thought it was a woman. Such a person, was
People are accustomed to the name "Cang Lang", which shows that this person is very unusual.
The word "Cang Lang" first appeared in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", meaning cyan. Later, after various evolutions, the meaning has changed a lot, including the meaning of praise, referring to the toughest and best fighting wolf among the wolves.
Generally speaking, it refers to the alpha wolf. The people of Qingfeng Mountain gave the name Canglang to a bandit leader, which shows how popular Canglang is.
Canglang rarely gets angry. Since he is handsome, he usually gives people a feeling of weakness. But today, Canglang's face is so dark that it's scary, especially those eyes. As long as he stares at you for a while, he will immediately
You can feel the deep chill.
"Old dog, who is framing us?" Cang Lang asked in a deep voice a wretched man kneeling below. He was Cang Lang's confidant, responsible for inquiring about information, and he opened a wine shop in a small town at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
"Some people say that those people came from the newly built Jiangsu city in the west. I also visited the place where those people were robbed. Five people died. They were all killed by one arrow. They were all hit in the same location.
Throat, that man's arrow skills are amazingly accurate."
"Jiangsu City? Is there anyone with such good archery skills there?"
The old dog nodded quickly: "Yes, he is still a half-year-old child. His father is Li Guang, the imperial guard."
"How much did those people loot?"
"It's about eight hundred gold. Our minions can clearly see that there are forty-three large carts in total, and most of them are filled with money. It may be higher than what I said."
"Eight hundred gold is indeed a lot of money. The guards of those caravans are really not that good. They killed people and took things away. King Huainan was humiliated this time. Haha, but they took things away.
I won't let you go any further. Tell the brothers to keep an eye on Jiangsu City. As long as a caravan comes out, they will rob it for me. I won't stop until I get eight hundred gold! This filthy guy can't do it.
Bai Zai."
"No!" The old dog chuckled twice: "We don't need to give orders from the village master. The nearby people will keep an eye on us. As long as someone from Jiangsu City crosses the border, they will know it immediately."
Cang Lang's expression softened a lot, and he picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine: "Interesting, isn't it said that Jiangsu City is just a group of merchants? When did soldiers stationed there?"
The old dog said quickly: "A few days ago, a group of people came from Lu'an. They said they were the envoys of the King of Hengshan. They were the boys who defeated the Yue people in Kuaiji. Their name was Su Ren. Li Guang's son was his subordinate and came to Jiangsu City.
It has been a while, but I have been leading people to hunt crocodiles in the swamps all day long, and have never crossed the line, so we just..."
"Su Ren! I would like to meet this man. Regardless of personal hatred, I admire him very much. Ten thousand soldiers can defeat the Yue people. He is a man."
"This man is an official. I heard that he has a close relationship with the emperor."
"No wonder!"
Cang Lang and Old Dog were talking when a man suddenly broke in from outside the door. The guy rolled and crawled in. He rolled twice on the ground. His nose and face were swollen immediately, and blood flowed from his mouth. He didn't care about his face.
With blood and mud on his face, he clasped his fists and saluted the Canglang, his voice trembling as he spoke: "Report, report, village leader, down the mountain, down the mountain..."
"Speak well!" Canglang glanced at Minion and smiled, but Minion knew that if he didn't speak well, his life might not be saved.
He swallowed his saliva and took a few breaths: "Report to the leader of the village, a group of soldiers and horses came down from the mountain. There were quite a few people. The general who led him has killed six of us in a row. The leader of the eighth village was also..."
"Tell me, what's wrong with Lao Ba?"
"The leader of the Eighth Village was captured alive. The man made arrogant words and wanted to capture you, the leader of the village. His skin and muscles were cramped, and he also said..."
"What else can you say?" Canglang had already frowned, which meant that he was very angry.
The minions quickly put their heads on the ground, not daring to look at Canglang's face: "They also said that you, the leader of the village, are a hypocrite, you are a real woman!"
"Pa!" A good-looking man is said to be a real woman. No matter how good his temper is, he will lose his temper. Canglang smashed the wine glass in his hand and stood up with a cry: "Send the order, order the people and horses, I want to meet in person."
That boy!"
A person who had been sitting in the corner said calmly: "Why is the leader of the village so anxious? I think this is just Su Ren's strategy. They can't attack our Qingyun Mountain with a small number of people, so they used this trick to lure the leader of the village down the mountain."
Fighting."
The person who spoke was Cang Lang's military advisor. Because he was missing one ear, he was known as the One-Eared Wolf. When Cang Lang was still a school captain, this man was a disciple of Cang Lang's family, and he had never left Cang Lang for so many years.
According to what he said, he is an imperfect person, and Canglang is already satisfied if he can look up to him, so he has always worked conscientiously without leaving Canglang. Qingyun Mountain's current situation is probably due to this person.
No one knows what this person's last name is, and no one knows his origins. The whole village calls him "strategist". Even Cang Lang calls him "strategist." This man is respected beyond anyone's imagination.
"Yes!" Cang Lang nodded: "What the military advisor said makes sense, then ignore him!"
The one-eared wolf shook his head: "Since they have already come to the door and captured the eight village masters, there is no reason to ignore them. The village master should go down the mountain to greet him in person."
"Welcome?" Cang Lang said, "Why?"
"I have heard about Su Ren. He was originally a merchant in Shu County. With his wisdom and courage, he traveled across Shu, opened up trade routes in Yelang and Qiang areas, and single-handedly persuaded the Yuanshan bandits. Only in this way did he win the appreciation of the imperial court. Now,
With 10,000 soldiers from the county to annihilate the Yue people, both in terms of reputation and influence in the court, the village leader doesn't want to see this person?"
"What the military advisor means is..."
"Although Qingyun Mountain is good, it is not a long-term solution. When the village leader killed Shangguan for rebellion, it was really helpless. Doesn't the village master have other ideas after so many years?"
The old dog understood the meaning of the one-eared wolf's words: "Military advisor, what will happen to our family members if we submit to the imperial court? Liu An will not let them go!"
"Old thief Liu An, I must kill him with my own hands!" Cang Lang gritted his teeth, with a blush on his pink face.
The one-eared wolf said: "Don't worry, village leader, Su Ren will definitely have a way to save his family."
"Master of the village, I still feel something is wrong!" The old dog hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Our family members were detained by Liu An in Shouchun. Su Ren was just an envoy. This time Su Ren robbed Huainan merchants under our banner.
, we have offended Liu An, if we cooperate with Su Ren again, what if..., brothers have followed the leader of the village through life and death for so many years, you can't watch your brothers' family members being slaughtered by Liu An!"
The one-eared wolf looked at the old dog and then at the gray wolf. He said nothing and drank tea calmly.
"The village master...!"
Cang Lang raised his hand, turned his face and said, "Do as the military advisor says!"
"Master!" The old dog looked very anxious. Cang Lang didn't give the old dog a chance and signaled the messenger to go down and make arrangements. He took a deep breath, shook his robe, and strode towards the door. Did the old dog see Cang Lang?
He paid attention to him and kowtowed to the one-eared wolf: "Commander, just be kind and let the brothers' families go?"
The one-eared wolf smiled slightly: "I said Su Ren had a solution, so of course everything will be fine!" He ignored the old dog and slowly got up and went to the backyard with the help of the child, leaving the old dog sitting blankly on his forehead.
In the lobby.
Hawking was riding a black horse, holding a halberd in his hand, calling for battle back and forth at the mountain pass. His murderous look just now had frightened the bandits. They huddled behind the wooden fence and watched quietly. No one dared to show their head, and
No one dared to shoot arrows. Of the people on the opposite side, one would kill someone on sight, and another would dart through the air. As long as they dared to show their shadow, they would most likely be shot dead.
"Hahaha! They all say how powerful the Green Wolf of Qingyun Mountain is. Is it just like this when we see it today? There is no man in Qingyun Mountain for such a big man. Are they all turned into women by your female village leader?"
Hawking's screams and curses were so loud that they could be heard from far away. Han Qing shook his head and sighed, standing behind Su Ren. He was a descendant of the Han family and naturally knew a lot about battle formations and tactics, but he had never seen a battle like this.
All the soldiers and horses were lined up at the mountain pass, and Huo Jin, a fool, stepped forward to scold the formation. Fortunately, there were only bandits on the opposite side, and fortunately he had Li Gan here, otherwise Huo Jin was so close to the mountain stronghold, and with just a burst of arrows, he would be instantly killed.
You can become a hedgehog.
"Sir, is it almost done? I've been scolding him for an hour, and there's no movement from the wolf. Is he not coming out?" Shi Bao raised his head and looked at the sky.
Su Ren was leaning on the grass, with a teapot and teacups in front of him, lazily like a woman. Looking at Hawking in front of him, Su Ren smiled and said: "Don't worry, there's still some time before dark, just wait."
"Sir, why did you do this to Cang Lang? If you want me to tell you, just attack and catch him."
Han Qingdao: "Although Canglang is a bandit, he has great prestige in the hearts of the people nearby. Besides, it is a bad idea for us to attack the mountain stronghold with so few people."
"What if the boy doesn't come out?"
"He will come out, don't worry!" Su Ren smiled mysteriously, as if the old god was here: "Even if he doesn't want to come out, someone will let him come out."
The village door suddenly opened, and a thick voice suddenly came from behind the village wall: "People outside, listen, my village chief wants to see Su Zhonglang!"
Su Ren winked at Shi Bao: "What did I say?"
Shi Bao looked in disbelief and was stunned. Su Ren said: "Why are you still standing there? Let Xiao Jinzi come back and let's meet this wolf."
There was no horse, so Canglang sat on a sliding pole, and was carried out of the village by four strong men, with only one little boy following behind him. Canglang was a bit brave, after all, he was a school captain, and
He was not intimidated by Su Ren's formation.
Su Ren stood a stone's throw away and waited for Cang Lang. Someone had set up the tables and chairs and put on teacups and teapots. The aroma of freshly brewed tea filled the air, which was particularly fresh. Cang Lang looked at the twenty-year-old man in front of him.
The young man who was in his early years didn't find anything special, so he snorted coldly: "Are you Su Ren?"
"Bold!" Huang Shisan grabbed the hilt of the sword and glared at Canglang.
Su Ren stretched out his hand and put it on Huang Shisan's wrist: "That's right, have you disappointed Mrs. Beigong?" (To be continued)
