How could such a person, who had irreplaceable talents and endured hardships that ordinary people could endure, be willing to be inferior to others for a long time? No wonder the master wanted to throw him into such a miserable place.
Thinking of this, the visitor started to beat him up again, and his tone became more and more unkind, and he said sharply and harshly: "Don't think that since the sky is high and the emperor is far away here, and the master can't see it, you can slack off. The master is very discerning. Your heart is bright. If you do your job well, sir, you may not have a chance to turn around."
Although the words were high-sounding, he didn't think so in his heart. He felt that it would be easier to die and end such a scourge once and for all.
Even if Xue Shou could bear to have a green prairie on his head, after hearing these strange words, he just wanted to get angry and hit someone. He looked directly at the person with eyes that almost burst out of fire, and took a deep breath. , full of anger ready to burst out, his tone was as cold as a knife: "I don't need you to worry about my affairs."
"You can take care of yourself." The visitor was furious when he heard this, snorted coldly, and walked away.
The sky is dim, the mountains are empty, and the birds are sitting on the green canopy of trees, chirping high and low, the sound is clear and sweet.
It was foggy in the mountains in the morning. This stretch of mountains was wet and hazy. Most of the mountains were covered in the vast white mist, and only a few outlines and distant mountain tops could be seen.
Han Changmu only rested for an hour. When he was half asleep, he heard the door knock. He sat up alertly, rubbed his forehead and called out.
Wang Xian had been busy all night, and he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face. His temples and bun were all soaked by the mist, and there were a few green leaves in his hair. He thought the mountain road was particularly muddy and difficult to walk, and the hem of his clothes was hooked by thorns. There were several big cuts and a pair of leather boots were stained with mud.
Before entering the door, he took a deep breath, walked into the room and saluted: "My lord."
Han Changmu glanced at Wang Xian while cruising up and down, and his eyes paused on his muddy leather boots. He lifted off the quilt and got off the bed, and said calmly: "How's it going?"
It was very cold and humid in the mountains, and the humidity was heavy. I didn't feel it when I was covered with a quilt. Once I lifted the quilt, the damp smell lingered.
Han Changmu frowned in disgust and reached for his coat.
Seeing this, Wang Xian hurried forward, took the azure coat first, and helped Han Changmu put it on. He said in a low voice: "I followed the traces left by Mr. Shaoyin and Mr. Cheng Qi and found it. Sure enough, As the secret sentry here confessed, there were four traps and two secret sentries along the way. Yingfen finally lost his trace in front of a mountain wall. He did not act without permission, but he kept people watching."
Han Changmu nodded slightly, finished his description, turned around and asked, "The mountain wall is the cave where they confessed?"
Wang Xian nodded and said, "It's that cave. I checked it carefully and found the marks left by Yao Canjun and General Cheng Qi on the mountain wall."
Han Changmu pondered for a moment: "Besides that mountain wall, is there any other way up the mountain?"
Wang Xiandao: "Yes, Beizhi took people to investigate carefully, but no powder or other signs were found. Beizhi thought that Yao Canjun and others did not take another way up the mountain."
Han Changmu thought: "Tell the guards to use the morning food and burn two sticks of incense before setting off."
The sky gradually became brighter, the fog in the mountains gradually disappeared, and a thin layer of white frost hung on the rocks, grass and trees.
The sun gradually rose, and as soon as the warm sunshine shone, the layer of frost disappeared in an instant.
.
A group of people came out of the small courtyard, leaving three people in the courtyard to pretend to be water bandits, while the remaining people changed their disguises.
After the disguise, Han Changmu was no longer noble, but a completely different person. He had a beard, a dark complexion, and a face full of flesh. He looked like a rough man. He was wearing a pale azure shorts with patches piled on top of each other, and the word "poor" was written on each patch.
The long bow on his back was polished to a polished finish, and there was a quiver tied to his leg. They were all items used by ordinary hunters, without any trace of the Interior Guard. On his feet were a pair of worn leather boots.
He looked exactly like the impoverished Orion described in the book.
The dozen or so internal guards who followed Han Changmu didn't know what method they used. After just two sticks of incense, they all became sallow and thin, with numb and vicissitudes of expression.
At first glance, they look like a group of poor people who haven't had enough to eat.
This group of poor people, who make people shy away from them at a glance, rushed towards the mountain without any concealment of their whereabouts.
The sleeves and hem of the clothes passed among the branches, sweeping away a few green leaves, making a slight rustling sound.
The mountain road was extremely difficult to navigate, so the guards kept hunting a few rabbits to carry on their backs as they walked. They could get away with water bandits and satisfy their appetites when they were hungry, killing two birds with one stone.
Han Changmu also carried a rabbit on his back, and drops of blood fell down, dyeing the snow-white fur mottled with scarlet. The blood beads scattered on the ground, swayed on the tips of the leaves, slid down and seeped into the soil.
Following Wang Xian's previous night exploration route, the group of people walked deep into the mountains by cleverly avoiding several traps.
They had just waded through a mountain stream, and the clear stream water soaked the worn shoe uppers. Everyone found a place where the sun was warm and sat on the ground. They took off their leather boots, stretched their feet into the sun, and dried the damp torn footwear that exposed the toes. .
The footwear had just been half-dried in the sun, when a heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the grass not far away. Before everyone could recover, four black figures jumped out from the grass in front of everyone, bringing with them a wave of shock. blast.
Everyone screamed and stood up in a hurry, cringing and crowding together, looking at the four water bandits in front of them with vigilance.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this mountain can't be climbed?" The water bandit glared fiercely and slashed his sword in front of him, making a clattering sound.
Everyone hunched their shoulders and slumped down, looking at each other with frightened expressions. No one spoke first.
The water bandit became impatient and made a swishing sound with the big knife in his hand. The sound was as rough as gravel grinding the ground: "Speak, if you don't speak, I will kill you!!"
Wang Xian shivered fiercely and turned to look at Han Changmu.
Han Changmu raised his eyes, glanced at Wang Xian quickly, and nodded imperceptibly.
Wang Xian took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said tremblingly: "I, we, we are hunters at the foot of the mountain. Thinking that spring has begun, we come up the mountain to catch some living animals." Before he finished speaking, he made a pop and knelt down. On the ground, trembling with fear, almost crying: "Hero, spare your life, spare your life, we, we didn't know we couldn't climb this mountain."
Han Changmu twitched the corner of his mouth, Wang Xian really looked like a coward.
When Wang Xian knelt down like this, everyone around him was too frightened and knelt down all over the ground.
The water bandit was obviously attracted by everyone's behavior
Confused by the cowardly look, they looked at each other and burst out laughing. They slapped Wang Xian on the face with the back of the knife and cursed and taunted him: "You are as brave as a rat and want to go up the mountain to hunt wild animals. You are sending it to your doorstep." Let wild animals eat something meaty?"
Wang Xian knelt on the ground, his trembling hands pressed deeply into the mud, stained with dirt.
He lowered his head, as if he was extremely frightened, and was trembling and unable to speak.
The water bandit held a big knife, laughed triumphantly, and shouted arrogantly: "For the sake of you being as timid as a mouse, grandpa, I will spare your lives, and get out of here."
Everyone looked at each other, as if they were frightened, and no one dared to take a step first.
"What, you don't want to leave? You want to die!!" With a bang, the water bandit stabbed the big knife heavily into the ground, splashing choking dust.
The group of people trembled, quickly got up from the ground, patted the dirt on their bodies, and rolled away.
Just two steps out, I heard a sharp shout: "Wait!"
Wang Xian paused, feeling ominous, and moved his body, but did not dare to turn around.
The water bandit walked over slowly with a knife in hand. The tip of the knife dragged on the ground, making a soft clang sound and leaving a shallow knife mark.
The tip of the knife picked the rabbit on Wang Xian's back, and the half-dead rabbit struggled twice.
The water bandit laughed wildly: "Stay the rabbit, get out!"
It turned out that he just wanted a rabbit. Wang Xian breathed a long sigh of relief, hurriedly untied the rabbit, threw it to the ground, and ran away.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, untied the rabbit and threw it to the ground, and then slowly dispersed with lingering fear. Seeing that the water bandit picked up the rabbit, he really didn't catch up with him, so everyone ran away, just because they were worried about their parents. With two missing legs, he runs too slowly.
The water bandit laughed arrogantly from behind, his laughter was wild and arrogant, and spread far and wide.
Not long after Han Changmu and his group walked out, several short muffled hums sounded from behind them. They were extremely low-pitched and did not spread too far.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, stopped, and stopped walking. They all found a place where the sun was warm and sat on the ground.
Not long after, four water bandits ran over panting, carrying big knives in their hands. There was a loud clatter as they ran, and they stood in front of Han Changmu with their hands tied: "Sir, I have asked, all four of them are from Qingyun Village. The secret whistle, just like the secret whistle in the small courtyard, was originally an ordinary villager. They just took a share of the money from Qingyun Village and started spying again. They had never been to the village and did not know the way up the mountain. , I only know that the cave is the only way up the mountain. There is a very powerful secret whistle at each entrance of the cave. There are six water bandits, and they are also equipped with sounding arrows. If there is anything abnormal, the secret whistle will release the sounding arrows to warn the village. "
Han Changmu looked the four of them up and down, and realized that the method was improvised. The clothes of the four water bandits looked somewhat inappropriate when worn on the four inner guards.
As for the head of the inner guard who was responsible for answering, the water bandit's clothes were narrow and small on his body, with his hands and feet exposed, and he looked very cramped.
He turned around and looked around, pointed at a thin inner guard and said, "Come here and change clothes with him."
The two guards who were named were a little surprised. They came together at a loss. When they looked at each other, they laughed. The guard wearing water bandit clothes was tall and big. With those clothes on, as long as he didn't Silly, everyone knew it was stolen.
