Jinniu Mountain is not a mountain, to be precise, it is not a peak, but a mountain range with dozens of peaks in a radius of tens of kilometers. It is bordered by Xinyang to the south and the Huaihe River to the north. It can eat both mountains and water.
This kind of feng shui treasure land naturally attracted many green forest heroes to come here to make a fortune. At its peak, there were at least seven or eight heroes who established villages in Jinniu Mountain. The big ones numbered 180 people, and the small ones numbered more than ten.
Everyone makes money, and although the forces in the mountain have been living in peace for many years, until three years ago a group of people suddenly entered the mountain. They first visited Huangtu Village, the most powerful place in the mountain, and told the boss that they would stay in Jinniu Mountain. To make a fortune in a village, he asked several forces in the mountains, led by Huangtu Village, to give him some capital.
What he doesn't need is much, just a thousand taels of silver, twenty horses and some clothes and women.
Good guy, the people from Huangtu Village saw that this group was small in number, but their tone was not small, so they immediately gave it... a knife!
Unexpectedly, this group of only eleven people totaled, but it only took less than half an hour to level the Huangtu Village. Except for the women, all 146 people in the village were killed!
After becoming famous in the first battle, this group of people spread the word that if anyone in the mountain stockade does not come to worship within three days, they will not be spared!
Some people do not believe in evil, while others watch tigers fighting.
In less than three months, all the villages in the mountains were uprooted, either slaughtered, or had no knowledge and left for other places, or they surrendered to this group of people.
This group of people is Jin Big Beard, nicknamed the Bull Demon King.
Now he is the only group of bandits and the only copycat in Jinniu Mountain.
Many people wondered how Jin Dabeard's group could be so brave. With only a dozen or so men, they wiped out all the villages in the mountains in three months. Later, there were rumors that they were defeated, and everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder they were so powerful!
The heroes who gathered in the mountains and forests usually bullied the weak and frightened the ordinary people, but when they met those professional soldiers who crawled out from the dead, that was not enough at all.
It's just that although many people know that this golden bearded man was a soldier, few know what kind of soldier they are.
Thief soldiers.
It is said that he followed Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but they were probably small bosses from the hills below. It is said that they were separated during the war one year. When they were desperate, they turned into bandits. This was also the only way out for many defeated troops. and the best ways out and preferred popular careers.
Although Jin Big Beard was born in the bandit army, he was still not something that the rabble in the mountains could stop. In just three months, he conquered the entire Jinniu Mountain at the cost of only four people dying in battle. The seven people who survived are now Shijiazhai. The seven heads of the family.
In three years, the village has grown from less than twenty people to eighty-seven people. This is not a big force, but it is Jin Dabeard's intention to control the people and horses in an area that does not attract attention.
People who have been soldiers always have some knowledge. A big tree attracts the wind!
Moreover, there are too many people, which not only attracts the wind, but also cannot support them.
Big Beard Jin rarely goes down to the mountains to fight in person anymore. He has his brothers working hard to do things like robbing caravans, kidnapping big families, and he is happy to raise birds and vegetables in the mountains. Soothe the children.
Yes, he still has a wife.
Of course, he was not married by the matchmaker, but he had robbed the daughter of a rich man. After being plundered and humiliated on the mountain, the woman was of course looking for death and survival, but she couldn't bear the man's many tricks and used both soft and hard tactics, so the woman accepted her fate and stayed in the mountain to be the prime minister. Her husband raised her children, and even helped persuade other women who were plundered into the mountains.
Although there are not many people in Shijiazhai, it occupies a large area. There are dozens of houses in the village. In addition to the largest Juyi Hall, there is also Jin Dabeard's private residence. Each of his six brothers also has a private residence and a private residence. Madam, the rest is the dormitories for the minions, and of course there are granaries, canteens, pig pens, sheep pens, stables, etc. It can be said that everything is available.
The so-called Juyi Hall is actually the place where the thieves on the mountain usually eat, drink and have fun. To put it bluntly, it is the activity center on the mountain. They eat, gamble money, chat... Every day, it is always crowded and lively no matter early in the morning or at night.
When Gu Changyu and Jiang Fa entered the village, it was time for dinner. The thieves were all gathering together to eat. Some were in the Juyi Hall, while others were squatting and chatting at random places outside the hall.
The mountain breeze was blowing and the beef was blowing, and when I was feeling very comfortable eating, I suddenly heard the constant barking below. The few thieves sitting outside the hall were confused. There were dogs in the village, but they rarely barked, except for every time they plundered from the bottom of the mountain. They only call for a few days when they are new.
Is it possible...
Although the thieves were confused, they didn't think too much. After all, it was impossible for thieves to eat in this den where no officers and soldiers came. Leopards are not brave enough to eat, so they just looked over there a few times and then continued. Grilled rice.
But suddenly someone shouted murder!
Still female.
Although the Juyi Hall was full of people, it was still relatively quiet outside, so the call was heard by everyone outside the hall and heard clearly.
only……
Killed someone?
The thieves outside the hall were shocked but still very confused. They stood up and looked over there. Some of them were holding bowls and looking over there to see what happened.
But at this moment, the person walking in the front suddenly tilted his head and fell to the ground. The bowl fell to pieces.
Everyone was shocked, and then realized that he had been hacked to death.
Jiang Fa was the first to pounce and slashed three of them in the blink of an eye. The remaining thieves finally came to their senses, crying like ghosts and wolves, howling like birds and beasts scattering, some hid in the dark, and some hurriedly ran into the hall: "Killing, killing, there are thieves." The killing is coming..."
Dozens of thieves were chatting and eating in the hall. When they heard the loud shouts, their expressions changed drastically. They even asked who were coming to kill, whether they were officers or soldiers, how many people...
At this moment, Jiang Fa and Chang Yu had already rushed in, killing everyone they saw. The thieves were so panicked that they fled in all directions. They had no psychological preparation for the sudden incident and had nothing to resist. Seeing the ferociousness of the two men, they had to flee in a hurry. , those who had no time to escape had to use the dishes, chopsticks or tables and chairs at hand to throw them at the two...
There were endless screams in the Juyi Hall, and blood flowed like a river.
Chang Yu held a knife in his hand and killed with every step. Jiang Fa wandered around to intercept the thieves who were trying to escape.
In a private house not far from Juyi Hall, Jin Dabeard was having dinner with his family. He rarely went to Juyi Hall to eat and drink with his subordinates because he felt it was noisy.
There was a banging sound on the door outside, and Big Beard Jin frowned, who could be so unruly? Just as he was about to start shouting, people outside were already shouting: "Master, Master, someone is coming to the village..." …”
Golden Beard, who was about to open the door, was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly returned to the meeting room to get his weapons and asked, "Officers and soldiers or Green Forest Road, how many people are there?"
“I don’t know where they came from, there were only two people.”
What the hell, two people?
Jin Dabeard was so angry that he opened the door and kicked the subordinate far away. He looked in the direction of the Juyi Hall, but he heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping over there. You are a bunch of trash. Two people will kill you. Such a bear, let me go and see what he has.
