Passing through the mountain roads of Taihang Mountains, Yu Yi felt familiar with the geographical environment. Due to the temperature, some poisonous insects and beasts had long disappeared. In order to cross the Taihang Mountains as quickly as possible, Yu Yi used all his abilities and ran quickly among the mountain roads, striving to get there. Arrive at the nearest village to rest before dark. After all, the temperature on the mountain is too low at night and it is difficult to survive. When it was almost dark, they finally arrived near Maocheng. Yuyi found a place to stay and planned to spend the night.
As he walked further, his popularity became higher and higher. Yu Yi thought of the girl he had saved from the bandits before, and the patriarchal Su family. He didn't know what was going on, so he decided to disturb her. .
Arriving near Su's house in Maocheng, Yu Yi found that the door of Su's house was closed and there was no one there at night, so he couldn't ask. Yu Yi had to go to the inn in Maocheng, preparing to make tips here, and at the same time, he would also ask some questions if he had the opportunity. information.
Maocheng is a relatively small place and is very close to the Taihang Mountains. The number of people in the inn is not large. Occasionally, a few people come to have a meal and then leave. It is rare to encounter a group of merchants.
All this made Yu Yi very disappointed. When he finished eating and was about to go to rest, a group of about ten people came in suddenly. They were menacing. The leader was holding a machete and shouted: "Boy, come out quickly, we have to take over this place!"
At this time, only Yu Yi was preparing to retreat. The waiter glanced at Yu Yi with a troubled expression. Yu Yi shook his head and prepared to leave.
However, the big man refused to give in and said: "Didn't I say that we would reserve the venue? Why is there still someone there?"
The waiter apologized quickly and said in a low voice: "He just finished eating and was about to leave."
The big man was obviously dissatisfied, but he couldn't refute him. He suddenly got angry and said, "Who asked him to eat here? You are unlucky to see us today." After saying this, he slapped the waiter on the face, and the waiter covered his face. His face was sullen, struggling in pain.
The innkeeper knew that the visitor was not a good person, so he quickly came out to smooth things over. Even though he said good things, he failed to persuade them. In the end, he had no choice but to promise that if they came to eat in the future, they would be free of charge, and at the same time he would not let them come back again, so he gave up.
Yu Yi stood aside, extremely dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of this group of people, but he did not want to cause trouble. Now that the conflict has been resolved, he should not cause trouble again. So he was going to rest upstairs. When he reached the second floor, he heard these people chatting. Yuyi became interested and eavesdropped in the dark.
It turned out that this group of people was a group of bandits, who were bandits in Maocheng in the past. After they were wiped out, a new force was formed. This force was already very weak and had been operating near Maocheng. Because of the destruction they carried out, It's so small that the officers and soldiers are too lazy to take care of it.
"Hey, I thought about how huge our bandit group was back then, and the officers and soldiers had to take a detour when they came. I didn't expect that it would be like this now. It's such a pity!"
The big man at the head sighed.
An elegant young man sitting next to him said: "Brother, don't panic. It's already an era where heroes are vying for the throne. There will definitely be a big battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the Central Plains. By then we can also establish our own power."
After hearing these words, Yu Yi's expression became solemn. He didn't expect that there were such people with lofty ideals among the bandits. It seemed that heroes really didn't care where they were born.
The big man said: "Hey, I don't have much idea about establishing a force. I just want to restore the prosperity of our bandits."
The elegant young man said: "This is the same as establishing a force. Now Maocheng is already under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction. Once he and Cao Cao start working together, we can gather the old bandits and realize the wish of big brother."
The big man said: "Brother Sikong Xuan, I feel very lucky to be your eldest brother. You have given me many ideas and I have nothing to offer in return. Now I just have something I can reward you with."
The elegant young man was a little confused and said: "Brother Huang Qiang, I am not advising you for rewards. If you say so, you are looking down on me."
The big man smiled and said: "You are not married yet. As the eldest brother, I should consider your life-long affairs." After saying this, Huang Qiang clapped his hands before Sikong Xuan could refuse, and soon two bandits came with a sack.
Sikong Xuan felt the way the two were carrying it and knew that the contents of the sack were obviously not light, so he asked, "What is this?"
Huang Qiang looked very mysterious and said, "Take it apart and see for yourself!"
So Sikong Xuan stood up slowly and walked in the direction of the sack. When he walked to the side, a sound suddenly came from inside the sack, and bumps suddenly appeared on the outside of the sack, which startled Sikong Xuan.
Sikong Xuan looked at Huang Qiang and fell into a state of hesitation. Huang Qiang urged: "Don't worry, big brother won't harm you. Just untie the sack."
So Sikong Xuan went to untie the sack, and a woman came out, her mouth gagged with cloth.
"This is this?" Sikong Xuan looked very confused after seeing the woman.
"How about marrying her to you? This is a very beautiful woman!" Huang Qiang smiled.
Sikong Xuan walked to the front and took a look quietly, and found that although the woman had a dirty face, she was also a rare beauty. She seemed to have something to say and kept moaning.
So Huang Qiang pulled out the cloth that blocked her mouth. The woman took a few breaths and cursed: "You are so brave. General Zhang Xiu of Wancheng is my nephew. How dare you Aren't you afraid of death if you kidnap us?"
Wancheng is far away from Maocheng. None of these people have heard of Zhang Xiu's name, so they burst out laughing. Huang Qiang pointed at the woman and said, "I have never heard of General Zhang Xiu."
The woman was unwilling to give in and said again: "You always know about the Prime Minister Cao Cao in Xudu. Let me go quickly and I can spare your lives."
Huang Qiang was a frog in the well. He only knew about the one-third-acre field in Maocheng. He didn't know who Cao Cao was. But Sikong Xuan, who had some knowledge, said: "Brother, if she really has something to do with Cao Cao, then we really can't Touch her."
"Why?" Huang Qiang asked.
"Cao Cao is a local warlord who has occupied most of the Central Plains and is very powerful. If he defeats Yuan Shao in the future, he will..." Sikong Xuan analyzed.
The woman thought that the other party was intimidated by her, and said somewhat proudly: "My little brother is very knowledgeable. Please advise your elder brother, otherwise you won't even know what happened if you lose your head!"
Huang Qiang thought for a while and said: "The decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will not come to an end within a few years. By then, this woman has married your brother and you will be your wife. If you have a few children with her, she will not go." Tell Cao Cao." After saying this, he stared at the woman with lustful eyes.
