Three hundred and eighteenth town three mountain eleven
"You don't look like it's your first time killing someone. Why haven't you recovered for so long?"
Jiang Beipo noticed Wei Changpan's strange behavior in the past few days. After returning to the mountain with the escort, he wandered around Xiaoyao Mountain all day, feeling as if someone had taken away his muscles and bones. He couldn't help but feel worried, so he stopped him one afternoon and asked him.
If you understand something, even if you can't explain it a little bit, it's better to be able to speak out the words in your heart than to be alone and depressed.
There are many warriors in this world who draw their swords and see blood for the first time, and they are inevitably at a loss for a long time. What's more, if they kill all the bodyguards and horses, the blood that gathers in the gaps between the stone paving of the avenue will become a stream. If
Naturally, Jiang Beipo would not be surprised at all, but to be able to come up with such a vital move to intimidate a man when he was about to be defeated was clearly a sword skill that he had honed through hard fighting.
How can a person with such sword skills not have many lives on his hands? The reason why Jiang Beipo lured him with the position of the fifth master of Xiaoyao Mountain when they first met is because he regarded Wei Changpan as the kind of person who, despite being young, has both mind and ability.
He is a top-notch tough character. During the escapade, Wei Changpan's skills as one against two were far beyond the bottom line he had previously expected. Why is he looking like this now? Is there anything that can't be said?
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Beipo had no choice but to put his butt down on a nearby boulder that was heated by the sun. He wanted to speak but was so burned that the corners of his mouth twitched. He waited until he changed to a comfortable seat under the shade of a tree and sighed.
He said in a tone: "Such things will happen more often in the future. When grass falls on the mountain, killing people is as normal as eating and drinking..."
"What did that bodyguard do wrong? What he did was also a bodyguard's duty. After I stabbed him in the chest, he tried to stop me from going to the car." Wei Changpan's voice gradually became inaudible, "He is also a human being.
, a person who shouldn’t have died..."
"Have you ever been in battle?" Jiang Beipo suddenly asked.
"Been there."
"In a battle involving tens of millions of people, no matter whether you are a domineering warrior in a state or a county or a mediocre pawn, you will die as soon as you say you are dead. Even your corpse will not be found. Those who do not want to live will die early.
People who are alive may not be able to die a moment later."
"When you go into battle, you are no longer a human being. A drop of water in the tide or a stone in the soil are heavier than the pawns in the battle array. However, every drop of water and every stone has its own thoughts.
If thoughts, big and small, can be gathered into one place, then we are an invincible warrior. On the contrary, if our thoughts are scattered and scattered, we are a weak warrior who is vulnerable to a single blow."
The hunched Xia Ming sword shines on the frost, and the autumn wind moves the horse out of the border. After all, it is just the wishful thinking of the literati.
"Some of the people you killed on the battlefield were sons, some were fathers, and some were husbands. What crimes did they have? When Ce Xun came out, they were just helpless people who were drafted into the army. Today, the hand holding the sword to chop people's heads was not the same as yesterday.
He is also carrying a hoe, carrying a pen, and holding chopsticks to carry a bowl."
"Do these people deserve to die? In this way, no one deserves to die, but after a small war, the death of thousands of people is considered a small number..." Jiang Beipo said indifferently, "Since no one wants to die in the battle,
, then you can only draw your sword to kill each other. Your sword is faster than the escort's sword, so you are alive. He wants you to die. The person who wants you to die should not be killed. Don't you want to die?
"
Jiang Beipo considered himself not a murderous person, even though he was not bound by Yao's laws and reasons.
Xiaoyao Mountain has never killed someone for no reason. However, there was a large-scale turmoil in Xiaoyao Mountain a few months ago. The cause was a few people who came to Xiaoyao Mountain to Luocao. Their skills were outstanding in the mountains.
Willing to live under someone else's roof as a grandson, three or five people secretly discussed it and decided to take advantage of the dark and windy day to attract dozens of minions from the mountain. They would defeat several of the leaders including Jiang Beipo one by one and replace them with themselves.
This chair.
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone in a place as big as a hand like Xiaoyao Mountain. Jiang Beipo got wind of this matter when it started to take shape. Needless to say, a total of sixty-four people were arrested.
Chop it into pieces and feed it to the wild dogs on the mountain. Those mountain gangsters who used to hunt wild dogs to make pots when they were greedy stopped thinking about it after that.
"But that's not a battle formation, and we don't have to fight to the death." Wei Changpan shook his head and retorted, "We are not going to rob the escort..."
"Brother Xiao Wei, where are we? This is Xiaoyao Mountain. It is a thorn in the side of the Suzhou government. They can kill us ten times and they will never kill us only nine times. If we don't rob escorts, will food and gold and silver grow on their own?"
The legs came up to our mountain." Jiang Beipo, who seemed to be amused by his words, sneered, "Why does Brother Wei look like he is ignorant of the world now? Could it be that he has been walking blindfolded in the rivers and lakes in the past few years?
Isn’t it possible?”
"Robbing food is to survive, but robbing the goods escorted by the escort is also to survive?"
"Xiaoyao Mountain is no longer under the jurisdiction of Dayao's law. As you can see, many of the brothers on Xiaoyao Mountain lived a hungry and full life before going up the mountain. After going up the mountain, they drank heavily and ate large amounts of meat all day long.
, I'm tired of eating fine grains." Jiang Beipo looked directly into Wei Changpan's eyes and said calmly, "Hunger and cold arouse the desire to steal, and fullness and warmth lead to lust. Believe it or not, Wei Changpan, without the things captured by the escorts who went down the mountain this time, would not be able to share the spoils.
In ten days we will no longer be able to restrain those people from going down the mountain to burn, kill, and plunder?"
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
For example, the minions in Xiaoyao Mountain can fill their bellies with coarse grains today, but tomorrow they will start to think about the taste of fine grains. When they can eat fine grains every day, they will also look forward to tasting wine and meat one day.
Even though Jiang Beipo has a clear mind about this, he still can't do anything about it.
The rolling world of mortals is like a great tide, and no one is caught up in it.
"I believe what Senior Jiang said."
After hearing this, Jiang Beipo, who must have been about to give some kind words to persuade him, heard Wei Changpan speak, and for a moment he couldn't laugh or cry again.
"But if it's just to survive, why would those bodyguards have to die?"
"Those bodyguards may not have to die, but then we will never be able to take away the goods of the Wuwei Bodyguard Bureau. Without those goods to appease people's hearts, Xiaoyao Mountain will turn into a beach of loose sand the next time the government launches a campaign."
The kind-hearted Jiang Beipo seemed to be gradually losing his patience, "We, the heads of Xiaoyao Mountain, are not capable enough to compete with hundreds of people, so no matter how greedy these people on the mountain are, they are still facing a formidable enemy."
, no choice.”
"Those people gathered on this mountain because they suffered humiliation at the foot of the mountain and were unable to repay it. The strength of one of them is like a numb joint, which will break when pulled, but hundreds of people twist together and become a rope, so they can hold on.
Xiaoyao Mountain."
"Senior Jiang once said that the food in Xiaoyao Mountain was previously supplied by the nearby villages and towns at the foot of the mountain, but why did the common people risk it to the officials?
There is a risk of severe punishment from the government to send food to the mountains. Do they have relatives and friends in the mountains? No."
“In recent years, there have been so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Liuxia County and even the whole of Suzhou, so many that even I, a foreigner who has not been in Suzhou for a long time, are familiar with them. The people at the foot of the mountain are resentful of the government, and Xiaoyao Mountain is in the same boat as the government.
So those families who bring food to the mountains truly regard us as their own."
"So Jiang has always strictly ordered the brothers on the mountain to do no harm to the people in nearby villages and towns." Jiang Beipo said impatiently, "So what does this have to do with the death of those bodyguards?"
"If the government is compared to the scorching sun, then our Xiaoyao Mountain is like a small puddle. The reason why it has not been dried up by the sun is because there is a steady stream of new water coming in, so in these small puddles we have
The swimming fish will not be extinct."
Wei Changpan, who was talking to himself, did not notice the gradual change in Jiang Beipo's expression: "Those escorts from the Wuwei Escort Bureau are the water at the foot of the mountain. Although they have no intention of flowing to this puddle, they have a great impact on other water sources under the mountain. They robbed and killed one
The team escorts may have temporarily quenched Xiaoyao Mountain's thirst, but they have laid the foundation for the disaster for the place that delivers water to Xiaoyao Mountain."
All things considered, he still believed that those bodyguards did not deserve to die.
"The truth is not bad. Our fifth leader seems to be a scholar."
The head of Xiaoyaoshan who came to Wei Changpan at some unknown time patted the former on the shoulder and said seriously: "If possible, the Sa family is not willing to kill anyone. We will settle down after killing the big insect in Yanggu County."
An Wenwen would be a leader who was respected by many people, taking care of the little things of the neighbors and villagers. If he had free time, he would help his brother carry the burden of cooking cakes to the streets. When he got older and it was time to get married, he would do it by himself.
Brother, please help me choose someone who knows the hot and cold..."
Behind him, Su Qilian and a group of people who wanted to kill him were patting him on the shoulder, but Wei Changpan didn't have much fear in his heart. Perhaps Wu Erlang's sincere words that revealed his heart made people feel that in fact, this was the leader of the Xiaoyaoshan family who was said to have killed Yingye.
In fact, it wasn't that scary. The force of those big palm-leaf fan-like hands on his shoulders was neither light nor heavy, but it was solid.
"But those people forced the Sa family to take another path. In fact, there is no right or wrong. If there is, it means that there are still fewer people killed, and the killer's methods are not sharp enough, otherwise they will not be unable to protect them.
Stay brother."
"The truth is, the Sa family is not as good at speaking as the master and the second master. With this brute strength, I am still a little better than the two of them for a while." Suddenly the master of Xiaoyaoshan clenched his fists and said,
"The world is huge, and we have the biggest brothers on this mountain. Those bodyguards have killed more than a dozen brothers, so those who shouldn't have died should have died."
"The Sa family originally had a brother, but that brother was not lucky enough to live a happy life on this mountain. So everyone in Xiaoyao Mountain is a brother of the Sa family."
To enter Xiaoyao Mountain, you need to have a name certificate.
