Xu Huang's pursuit is not over yet. After all, not everyone is so afraid of death. There were many people who ran away on horseback. Xu Huang went crazy and didn't care about the small infantry. He stared at the cavalry and chased them all the way.
This pursuit led to the official road. A group of cavalry came over from a distance. They stopped many cavalrymen from the Baibo Army and were looking at Xu Huang in surprise.
Xu Huang also noticed them, and when he was about to speak, Xu Chu's voice sounded behind him.
"Gong Ming, don't be impulsive, that's one of our own." Xu Huang looked back and saw Xu Ding, Xu Chu, Chengtou and others chasing after him on horseback.
Xu Ding and Xu Chu rode past him, reined their horses to a stop in front of the group of cavalry, then turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling and said: "Ding (Chu) has seen the steward Wei." Yes, the person who came was none other than Wei. Cheng's second uncle asked Xu Ding and Xu Chu to protect Wei Cheng's Wei Min.
Wei Min looked surprised and uncertain at this time. He asked curiously: "Did you repulse the Baibo Army?" Wei Min learned that a thousand-man Baibo Army bypassed all the aristocratic families and county towns and came directly to Luliang Mountain, so he asked the county government to borrow 500 cavalry. After chasing and rescuing him all the way, he really couldn't worry about Wei Cheng.
However, they rushed all the way without stopping. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Luliang Mountain, they saw a group of Baibo troops defeated and fleeing.
Wei Min was still confused at first and did not recover. Fortunately, General Xu Ding gave a rough description of the process. First, Wei Cheng provoked the enemy generals to come forward to call for battle, and then Hua Cu and Xu Huang crushed and defeated the enemy with one move, so that the Baibo army was defeated and ran in all directions.
Wei Min and the officers brought by Wei Min were dumbfounded. Although the Baibo Army was indeed a ragtag group, they still knew the strength of several generals under the Baibo Army. Just a few days ago, they had suffered at the hands of the Baibo Army. Quite a loss.
But, why did the situation completely change when we got to you? The officer frowned slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the few Baibo Army cavalry who were captured by him. He planned to turn around and interrogate them... What kind of tricks did the second young master of the Wei family do in the mountains?
Wei Min breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Wei Cheng was safe. He first turned around and thanked the officer, and then said: "Captain Wang, Mr. Wei will not go back with you. He happened to have arrived at the border of Anyi. Wei plans to stay for a few days and then go to the county to thank Liu. The magistrate's righteousness and rush to help." The officer did not dare to talk in front of Wei Min. He hurriedly clasped his fists in return and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be, the steward Wei has a good rest. Since the young master is fine, I will stop nagging and wait for the steward. When you get to the county government office, I and your Excellency will take care of you again." Wei Min cupped his hands and watched as the officer escorted a dozen Baibo Army thieves and led his troops away.
As for the fleeing infantry of the Baibo Army, they were too lazy to pursue them. There were still Baibo troops harassing them in various parts of the county, so they couldn't afford to lose the big for the small. The officers were in a hurry to go back and defend the city, so it was inconvenient for them to stay for a long time.
After they left, Xu Ding frowned and said, "Manager Wei, I wonder what the situation is like outside?" Wei Min shook his head and said, "It's not very good. The sudden action of the Baibo Army caught the county guard by surprise. Okay. This time they were just grabbing food, not mass killing, but they are not optimistic. After tasting the sweetness once, the next round of offensive will only be more fierce." Xu Ding nodded slightly, his brows knitted together tightly.
Seeing this, Wei Min patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, these are not things we should worry about. First, take me to see Cheng'er. This kid is hiding in the mountains and has no idea what he is planning. Now even I This second uncle is also curious." Xu Ding and Xu Chu looked at each other and smiled with proud smiles on their faces.
When Wei Min saw this, he became even more curious. The group turned their horses and headed towards the mountains.
"One seventy-three, one seventy-four, one seventy-five..."
"Sir, there are less than two hundred horses in total. Except for the ones that ran away, the rest were seriously injured." Hao Dadao led the villagers to count the harvest, mainly the horses. Some discarded swords, guns and sticks were too lazy to count. .
Wei Teng nodded slightly and felt a little distressed when he looked at the horse corpses lying on the ground at the bottom of the mountain. There were about a dozen of them.
He ordered: "Let Aunt Manhua take the people down to cut the meat. Think of it as extra food for the villagers." The eyes of the villagers lit up, and many people took the initiative to ask for help.
Wei Cheng looked at them funny, and his eyes fell on the villagers of the Jiaolong Gang. Compared with the people of Haojia Village and later villagers, the Jiaolong Gang seemed a bit out of place, whether it was their clothing or their mental outlook.
Perhaps because they were latecomers, they always had an inferiority complex. Even when facing the people of Haojia Village who were ordinary people like them, they did not dare to speak loudly and behaved submissively at all times.
Wei Cheng knew that there was no way for them to integrate into the group quickly, so he thought for a while and said loudly: "Hao Niang, please remember... Xu Huang and Hua Cun, both of them have meritorious service in killing the enemy. They will be rewarded with a hundred catties of horse meat, a hundred catties of polished rice, and a bottle of fine wine." Jars and three pieces of new cloth." Hao Niang, who was standing with Cai Yan and Yu'er, was startled for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying that she had remembered it.
Others didn't react at all, they just thought it was natural. The young master always rewards those who have merit. But the villagers of the Jiaolong Gang didn't know. They all looked at each other, especially Hua Cun, who was rewarded. He was so excited that he couldn't breathe evenly. If Hua Fu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known to step forward to thank him.
Wei Cheng helped Hua Cong up and said with a smile: "I never treat those who have done something wrong, whether it is killing the enemy and doing meritorious service, or contributing to the construction of the village. As long as you are willing to work, I will not treat you badly." This is I said it to Hua Cun, but also to the Jiaolong Gang.
If you want to quickly integrate into the group, you have to work with everyone, eat together, and sleep with everyone. Over time, you will naturally become a group.
If you are always timid, don't blame others for ignoring you. The person who understands Wei Cheng best here is probably Cai Yan.
Seeing that her husband wanted to show kindness and power at the same time, she said to the women beside her: "The new children don't have winter clothes and cotton shoes to wear yet. Go back and count the numbers. Let's make the children's winter clothes and cotton shoes before the beginning of autumn." ." Similarly, she also deliberately told Hua Cun and the others.
Those villagers with children knew immediately that the new children the lady was talking about were referring to their children.
Hearing this, everyone was moved and knelt down towards Cai Yan. No matter what they suffered, the child could not suffer. Especially when I saw the children in Haojia Village dressed nicely and warmly, while their children were running around with bare buttocks and bare feet, all dirty, both the father and the mother felt uncomfortable.
Seeing this scene, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan looked at each other and smiled tacitly. At this time, Yamashita Xu Ding and the others were back.
The leader was a middle-aged man with narrowed eyes. When Cai Yan saw this, he shouted in surprise and joy: "Second uncle!"... It was night.
In the cold cellar, the stench of excrement and blood made people's heads hurt. Snap, snap... the shadow of the whip flashed, the whip hit the flesh, the swaying lights flickered with the swing of the whip, sometimes bright and dark,
"Tell me, what else did you see?"
"Excuse me, I, I really just saw these... ah... spare my life... I really don't know anything anymore." As another person was beaten to death, the sergeant in charge of the interrogation climbed to the ground and poured water with water. After cleaning off the blood on his body, he put on his leather armor and came to a large bright tent.
"General, the trial is almost over, and there is not much difference in the information obtained." In front of the hall, a man in iron armor was wiping a shiny spear. He looked up at the person who came and motioned for him to sit next to him and talk.
The sergeant cupped his fists and saluted, knelt down and said.
"The results are pretty much the same. The Wei family does have a secret armory in the mountains. From a distance, you can see thick smoke billowing on the mountain. There are no less than twenty chimneys. Furthermore, as you go up the mountain, there are pebbles everywhere. I think the daily dosage is quite large.”
"In addition, the earth evil weapon is indeed extraordinary. Han Xian just struck it with a giant ax and chopped it off his horse. Although the person holding the ax did not say it clearly, the ax must have been obtained by the Wei family. One of the most important weapons." A trace of desire flashed in the eyes of the man sitting in front of the hall, and then he frowned and said, "Have you listed the known important weapons of earth evil?" The sergeant hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Yes." The man smiled slightly. Nod,
"Say." The sergeant took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms, spread it out, and read.
"The known important weapons of the earth evil are as follows: the treasured gentian silver spear of the Wei family, the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun that once appeared near Luoyang, the sun-chasing bow that is rumored to be able to control the range, and the Yitian sword and dragon-slaying sword claimed by the Wei family Knife, among which the dragon-slaying knife was confirmed to be indeed in the hands of Mr. Wei, there was also a strange purple and gold mace, and the giant ax that killed Han Xian." The man looked solemn, and then said to himself: "A total of Seven, and five more, what kind of magic weapon are they?" The sergeant heard this, clasped his fists and said, "General, there is another one, which should be in the hands of a little girl, but it cannot be confirmed. They only said that they saw the top of the mountain from a distance. There's a little girl in red holding a red spear, but I'm not sure if it's a heavy weapon."
"Red spear?" The man frowned.
"It should be, that's the eighth item." The sergeant nodded in agreement, then raised his eyes and cupped his fists and said, "I have another guess, that Xu Huang is wearing an inner armor, and maybe he is also a demon. One of the most important weapons."
"How do you say this?" The man looked at him in surprise. The sergeant cupped his fists and said, "Among the people who were interrogated, two of them claimed that their machetes fell on Xu Huang, but they couldn't hurt him at all. They were obviously hit, but the blade only cut through the clothes at the arm, and there was still something inside. There is a piece of black clothing, but no matter what, the meat cannot be cut." The man raised his thick eyebrows: "How can there be such a magical inner armor that can be hidden under ordinary clothes?" The sergeant immediately clasped his fists and said, "This villain is just guessing. The man glanced at him, nodded, and said: "Send the news to Luoyang quickly and deliver it to my brother personally." The sergeant stood up and responded, turned around and walked out of the tent.
The man also stood up and stroked the spear in his hand. His brows sometimes wrinkled and sometimes relaxed. After a long time, he walked outside the tent, looked directly at Luliang Mountain, and murmured to himself: "Longshan Hua Cun, Longshan Xu Huang... This Wei family has a big plan. He has the twelve important weapons of Earth Fiend in his hands. Is it possible that he can't gather the twelve generals of Longshan?" At the same time.
Anyi County is still the same tile house. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang had almost spent all their money. The three of them were originally going to visit the Wei family today.
However, the sudden turmoil directly disrupted their plans. At this time, Zhang Fei was eating the only pancake and yawned weakly.
On the first day, there was still hot soup to drink, but today they were so poor that they couldn't even afford the hot soup, so they could only eat it.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu also had expressionless faces. From time to time, they would turn their attention to the men beside the campfire.
If I read it correctly, those few people were probably Baibo soldiers who were on the run. But the two of them chose to ignore it calmly. Guan Yu originally wanted to arrest him.
Liu Bei stopped him and said that if a fight broke out, innocent people might be hurt. Guan Yu nodded and could only stare at those few people helplessly.
At this time, one of those people said: "It's so awesome. That man named Xu Huang is like a god descending from heaven. Now I understand why several commanders want to grab the magic weapon. I saw it today. I am completely convinced by the power of that axe."
"Yes, I was so scared at the time. With just one strike of the ax, Han Shuai's head fell off without any warning. If it had hit me, I would have been split into two..."
"Longshan Hua Li, Longshan Xu Huang, and the rumored earth evil weapon. If the predictions are correct, the Wei family has twelve masters as powerful as them. Even if they meet the commander-in-chief, they will probably be killed." There’s nothing we can do about them.”
"It's hard to say. The commander's military strength is superior to that of Han Shuai. Although Xu Huang is very powerful, if he encounters our commander, he will probably have to run away..."
"It might have been the case before, but it's hard to say now. We have only one general in charge, and he is one of the twelve generals of Longshan. If one can't do it, just use two. If two can't do it, just three. After all, our general can't defeat four with two fists. hand."
"Hey, Chen Laosan, why do you always try to increase the prestige of others and destroy your own momentum? If you can't do it as a general, you can't do it. Come on!"
"Me?" The man shook his head and said with a dejected look: "I'd better forget it. I plan to go back to Chenliu's hometown. I finally saw it today. The imperial court is corrupt, and there are not many birds in the Baibo Army. , they all went their separate ways when they were in danger, alas..." The voices of the few people speaking were actually not loud.
But even if Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others were willing to eavesdrop, those few people would have no way of discovering them.
"The Twelve Generals of Longshan?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and narrowed his phoenix eyes. Liu Bei said thoughtfully: "It seems that this time is really in vain. If you want to get the magic weapon, you have to join the Wei family." Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei aside and whispered: "It's a pity that we are already in Jihou Work under his command, otherwise this Wei family would be a good place to go. Now that the Baibo army is causing trouble in Hedong, it is a good opportunity to make contributions." Liu Bei's expression changed, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
