"Drive, drive!" I saw two horses, one white and one red, galloping past, and the voice of the horseman shouting had just arrived! "Hahahaha, it is indeed a peerless horse. How could such a good horse fall into the hands of two kids? Go report to the leader and go to Liuzhuang to grab the horse!" the big man ordered to the side.
"Second Master, how do you know they are going to Liuzhuang?" someone asked in confusion.
"Huh, within a radius of dozens of miles, only Liuzhuang is a peaceful place. No matter where you go, you have to go to Liuzhuang sooner or later, otherwise this place will be inaccessible. Come on, let's meet at Liuzhuang too," the big man said with a sneer.
"Yes!" The people around him responded quickly! At the same time, I was shocked. These two leaders were famous for being cunning, cunning, and ruthless. It seems like these two teenagers are in trouble!
"Haha, Brother Cheng, you lose!" Along with a burst of laughter, two figures, one red and one white, were shot from a distance. "Haha, Zilong, your riding skills are amazing. You can be so stable on a galloping bareback horse. You are indeed a natural horseman!" Cheng Feng couldn't help but admire, and at the same time muttered in his heart, "It seems that there were no cavalrymen during the Three Kingdoms period." Stirrups, I have to prepare cavalry in advance, look at the good equipment of future generations will have to be produced in advance."
"Brother Cheng is joking, I just practiced riding and shooting for a few more years." Zhao Yun said with an embarrassed smile.
"Zilong, Liuzhuang is ahead. Let's eat something, take a rest, and see the folk customs here before we continue on our way." Chengfeng said with a slight frown. For some reason, Chengfeng always felt heavy in his heart. I feel like something big is going to happen!
"Okay! Let's go, there is a store in front, let's go get something to eat," Zhao Yun said excitedly. After all, he was still a child and had not yet gotten over the excitement of winning Cheng Feng.
"Haha, two brothers, isn't it easy to eat?" A burst of sneer came to Cheng Feng Zhao Yun's ears!
"Whoever is sneaking around, get out!" Cheng Feng shouted, while giving Zhao Yun a wink, the two quietly took their positions.
"I drove this road and planted this tree. I want to pass by this way and leave money to buy the road!" Following the code words along the way, a group of people appeared at the intersection of the road ahead. Cheng Feng took a closer look and saw about There were about twenty people, headed by a man dressed as a scholar, but holding a big knife in his hand, which looked a bit nondescript and ridiculous. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, it's a short track. I wonder where these good guys make a living?"
"Stop talking nonsense, our second master has taken a fancy to your horse. If you are wise, hand it over quickly, lest you lose your life!" Before the scholar could speak, a big man next to him shouted!
"Haha, you two little brothers, I'm here just for the horses. If you two hand them over, you can avoid a big disaster." The leading scholar said coldly.
"Hmph, if you want horses, you have to ask me if I will accept the gun in my hand!" Zhao Yun shouted, "You are grass bandits, and you are also heinous criminals. Today I will get rid of these scourges for the people." After saying this, Zhao Yunting The gun leaps onto the horse, and we are about to go forward to fight.
"Yellow boy, you are so rude. Since you two won't listen to my good words, I have to resort to some tricks." After the scholar finished speaking, one person banged his bangle three times, and hundreds of people appeared in all directions. The people, all of them big men, some with bows and arrows, some with swords and guns, surrounded the two people.
"Haha, are you afraid of Zilong?" Cheng Feng asked with a smile. After all, Zhao Yun was young and Cheng Feng had just arrived. Neither of them had seen such a formation. Although the two of them usually sparred with each other, there was still no real killing. Never experienced it! The two of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous!
"Huh, don't be afraid!" Zhao Yundao said, even though he said this, his slightly trembling hands still showed some timidity.
"Haha, two little brothers, I'll give you one more chance, keep the horses and weapons, I won't embarrass you." The scholar sneered.
"Haha, do you think we are stupid? Zilong, today you and I will fight against the thief. If we are still alive, how about we become brothers with different surnames?" Cheng Feng said
"Okay! Brother" Zhao Yun responded
"Whoever comes up to die?" Cheng Feng shouted.
"Ha! Your courage is commendable. Don't say that we people from Niutoushan bully children. Since you want to die, then I will grant it to you, the third and fourth children. You two go!" A man in armor said.
"Yes, brother!" With a cry, two big men rushed out from the opposite side, one with a knife and the other with a gun, and they went straight towards Zhao Yuncheng and Feng Feng.
"Up!" Cheng Feng roared. He slapped his horse and raised his halberd, and faced the big man wielding the sword directly. As soon as the two horses missed him, Cheng Feng struck directly at the throat with one move, defeated the enemy with one move, and stabbed the opponent under the horse with one hand. Looking back, Zhao Yun also shot the opponent off his horse. The two met each other and couldn't help laughing!
"Hmph! It seems that there are two times." The big man said, "I will kill you personally to avenge my two brothers."
"Brother, don't be so angry. You can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. Let's do it together!" the scholar said angrily!
"Let's all come together. Anyone who kills or injures each other will be rewarded heavily!" the scholar shouted.
Zhao Yuncheng and Feng looked at each other, and at the same time they rushed forward with their horses. They unexpectedly wanted to capture the thief first and capture the king first! The two of them were fast horses and highly skilled in martial arts. Before the robber's archer could react, the two of them were already fighting in front of them. They could only watch the other side attack. Then they felt a disturbance behind them, and then nothing happened. Only two people were seen. People rushed into each other, spears and halberds flew, Zhao Yun's spear was fast, and the bandits fell in a line. Five or six people were killed or injured in an instant. They formed a heavy halberd. Anyone who encountered them was dead or disabled, and they were wiped out in an instant!
"Kill!" After all, he was a bandit. After being briefly surprised, he was immediately aroused by the blood and started to kill with knives. Taking advantage of the BMW's advantage, the two of them ran rampant, fighting their way through life and death. In just a few breaths, the two of them rushed in front of the scholars. Cheng Feng suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, feeling that he was in great danger, and his whole body became cold. He couldn't help shouting, "Zilong, be careful!" At this moment, the scholar and others came out from behind, waved their hands and threw stones, and all of them were given to Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng was hit on the head by the stones in an instant and was bleeding. , couldn't help but roar a few times. At this moment, several archers came out from behind the scholar and others. They opened their bows and shot, taking Chengfeng directly! It was too late, but it was too soon. When Zhao Yun heard Cheng Feng's warning, he took precautions. When he saw everyone targeting Cheng Feng, he couldn't help but roar. His gun came out like a dragon. Between the lightning and flint, he used the gun to fly away all the bows and arrows. Taking advantage of the trend, he swung his spear and knocked away the remaining stones! When Cheng Feng got this chance, he ignored his anger and regret and raised his halberd, killing five or six archers! Assault scholar and left.
The scholar's face changed. He didn't expect that his many foolproof methods would fail. He hurriedly raised his sword to fight. Unfortunately, he was not Cheng Feng's opponent. Cheng Feng's halberd penetrated his body and raised one hand high! Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to attack, killing three people in a row, and came to Cheng Feng's side.
"Still not surrendering!" Cheng Feng shouted. The bandit looked at the young man in the field. Under the sun, he saw a young man sitting on a war horse, holding up a halberd with one hand. He looked majestic. He couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know who threw the weapon first. Hearing a ping-pong sound, he fell to his knees. Saying "spare my life"!
"Stop!" Zhao Yun shouted. Just as everyone was surrendering, the big man in armor wanted to sneak away. Following Zhao Yun's shout, he was so frightened that he quickly dismounted and knelt aside.
"Huh!" Cheng Feng said, shaking his hand, and the body of the second leader was thrown aside far away! This made everyone tremble in their hearts. What a powerful young man. At the same time, looking at the corpse of the second leader, they couldn't help but hate, "Aren't you looking for death if you deal with them?" At the same time, they felt sad for their dead accomplices. "Take care of this place and bury the body. Master, please come with us," Cheng Feng said calmly.
"Okay, okay!" the boss quickly responded! "Please come this way!" the big boss said as he led the way. After a while, he arrived at a restaurant. Seeing Cheng and Feng frowning, the big boss quickly said, "Our own property, haha, our own property. We also make a living by farming on weekdays. I opened a few stores to make a living, haha, please, please, two little heroes!"
"Yeah!" Cheng Feng nodded and responded!
As soon as Chengfeng Zhao Yun sat down, he saw the head of the family knelt down in front of him and cried, "Two heroes, how offended I am, please forgive me my brothers. If you two really want to vent your anger, I, Wu Tiangang, am willing to live and die alone!"
"Brother Cheng, what's this?" Zhao Yun is young after all. How can he have so many thoughts? He is still thinking about the battle just now. Hearing what the boss said, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Feng.
"Haha! What? Now you know how to beg for mercy. Why didn't you think of it when you blocked the road and killed people? I don't know how many innocent people you killed!" Cheng Feng said coldly.
"Little hero, I have misunderstood. We are all the children of Liuzhuang, and we are all children of good families. Just because there have been famines everywhere recently, the Daliang Master sent his disciples to develop followers everywhere. We are only willing to protect you here. In one village, dozens of young people spontaneously organized themselves to maintain the peace of the village!" Wu Tiangang, the leader, said quickly
"Humph, you still dare to quibble? To maintain peace in the countryside, we have the troops of the court and the servants of the county and county. Why do you need to work hard? Besides, if you maintain peace, how can you do this business of blocking roads and robbing!" Cheng Feng shouted
"Little hero, don't get angry!" Following a urgent cry, several old men came from outside.
"Who are these?" Cheng Feng stood up and asked.
"The little old man is Liu Tong, the steward of Liu Zhuang. These few are also the elders of the village. We are here to explain this matter to the little hero. We hope that the little hero will be kind to you," said an old man in the middle.
"Oh! It's easy to talk, please sit down quickly," Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"I wonder what we call these two little heroes?" the old man asked.
"I am Cheng Feng. This is my second brother Changshan Zhao Zilong. I was passing by here today and happened to come across this incident. Please ask Mr. Liu to explain the whole story so that we can have an explanation!" Cheng Feng said.
"It's easy to talk about, but this matter is difficult for this group of children. Nowadays, the Daliang Tianshi Sect is developing rapidly. The people are bewitched by it and deceive each other. They bring their husbands and children, money and food to join the sect, and do not engage in production, resulting in In the past few years, the fields have been barren and most of the people have no food to eat. Our Liuzhuang was originally a fiefdom for a descendant of Emperor Gaozu. Unfortunately, he left early because of the bad weather, so we relied on a few old people to take charge of things. Tiangang They are all children from poor families like us. Our families are poor and they don’t have much money or food to join the church. So they follow our organization and work as guards in Liuzhuang, which is a way of making a living. Thanks to their efforts, Liuzhuang doesn’t have much money or food. It's enough. Recently, these stores have been opened, so Liuzhuang can be regarded as a stable place nearby," Liu Tong said happily.
"Oh!" Cheng Feng couldn't help but glance at Wu Tiangang who was kneeling aside, and then asked, "Then why did they become such strong men again?"
"Alas!" The old man sighed, "The government does not care about the development of the Daliang Xianshi Sect, and even many officers and soldiers are involved in it. They absorb a large amount of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, resulting in more and more old and weak women and children at home. In addition, these The harvest has been bad for several years, and the number of refugees has increased. Under their protection, Liuzhuang is considered a pure land, and it is also considered wealthy, so I have taken in a large number of refugees and selected some young and middle-aged laborers to patrol and plow the fields with them. Life is peaceful, but what a pity! Half a year ago, a group of people came here, claiming to be disciples of the wise master Daliang. They wanted to come to my Liuzhuang to borrow food, saying they wanted to help the people."
"Haha, who doesn't know their purpose? How can they care about the life and death of the people?" said an old man next to him, "They just see that we have food, so they come to rob us. These are a bunch of goddamn bandits."
"Stop talking about this," Liu Tong interrupted, "We didn't obey at that time, and nothing happened. But two months later, hundreds of people came, all of them were big men. Without food, they started killing people. Alas, , we didn’t want to cause this trouble, so we went to report it to the police, only to find out that these were the officers and soldiers who had joined the gang. We had no other choice, so we made an agreement with them, asking Tiangang and the others to help them raise food, and they couldn’t steal it. Our things. After two months of delay, the leader they came over was named Huang Jing. He was dressed as a scholar and was ruthless. It was said that he was the second leader in this area. He was so ruthless in his actions that no businessman who passed by would be cruelly attacked. Horses, money and food, and even many girls and babies were taken away. Alas, it is outrageous for both humans and gods!"
"It's so abominable, it deserves to be killed!" Zhao Yun said bitterly
"So, today we have eliminated harm for the people?" Cheng Feng said, "However, this still doesn't convince me. Have you never done anything harmful to nature?"
"Don't worry, little hero. I know it's hard for people to believe. In fact, Huang Jing led his own troops every time he robbed. Tiangang and the others were responsible for the funeral affairs. They stored the things they robbed every time. But they don’t know that Tiangang has long known where they hide their things. He steals some of them every time and distributes them quietly to everyone, so we can continue to recruit refugees. This time we met the little hero, whom Tiangang and the others had just given away. A batch of grain and dozens of kilograms of iron arrived, telling us to prepare for next year's spring plowing." Liu Tong said
"Now that the matter has come to an end, I want to kill or behead you. I am willing to listen to the fate of you two. I, Wu Tiangang, swear to God that I have never done anything to disgrace my fellow villagers. Even the women who were snatched away, I saved all the women I could. If the two heroes don't believe it, I have nothing to say. But please don't embarrass others, I will bear everything by myself!" Wu Tiangang said to Cheng Feng and Zhao Yun
"Zilong, what do you think?" Cheng Feng turned to Zhao Yun and said
"Brother Cheng, we are just passing by here. Besides, we have also killed a lot of robbers. To put it bluntly, whether they lied to us or not has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we will leave soon. If they lie to us, we will This place will still be the same as before. If we hadn't lied to us and killed the Taiping Cult people, they would not have a stable life in the future, so there is no need to worry about this matter. I think you should think about what to do in the future. ?" Zhao Yun said
"This..." Several old people across the street all changed their minds, "What should we do? Please save the people here!" A room full of old people hurriedly knelt down in front of the two of them!
"Everyone, please stand up," the two of them responded hurriedly. At the same time, Cheng Feng's heart moved and he couldn't help but blame himself, "Oh, just now I promised the Heavenly Master to put the world's common people first, but in the blink of an eye, I almost harmed all the people. Fortunately, Zilong reminded me!"
"Elders, we will discuss this matter in the long run. Please sit down calmly!" Chengfeng cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, my second brother and I passed by here. You can just call me Chengfeng. Many of you are not familiar with this place. Please forgive me. Everyone, please tell me!" Cheng Feng said after everyone sat down.
"Tiangang, come and speak to the two of you," Liu Tong said to the kneeling Wu Tiangang!
"Okay, get up, stop kneeling, you have to explain in detail!" Cheng Feng said to Wu Tiangang
"Yes!" Wu Tiangang stood up and said, "Liuzhuang is a relatively large place near here, with a population of about 5,000. No matter which road is around, you must pass through here. It is an important transportation place, and it happens to be in the open area. , so there is a lot of fertile land for farming and doing business. It is a good place to gather people, and it can be regarded as a geomantic treasure!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Several old men responded with smiles, stroking their beards quite complacently.
"Humph, this place is a good place, but it's a pity that there is no danger to defend it. All roads lead to Liuzhuang. If the Taiping Sect people come to kill, they don't know which way to defend. Besides, there is no city here, and there are many old, weak, women and children. As a young man, only Tianzhu Mountain can hide nearby. Once there is a fight, it will definitely be a massacre!" Zhao Yun said seriously
"That's right," Wu Tiangang said, "Also, what you two don't know is that Huang Jing, who came to rob them this time, is just a second-in-command. As far as I know, their leader is highly skilled in martial arts and leads dozens of riders to pretend to be businessmen all year round. He went everywhere to find out where to store food and where to train troops, and he often killed people, set fires, and looted property!"
"Oh, it seems that the Taiping Sect has great ambitions. Is the world about to be disrupted again?" Liu Tong couldn't help but worry.
"Humph, you are a chicken and a dog. You are vulnerable. Even if you cause chaos, it will not become a problem. It will only cause suffering to the people of the world!" Zhao Yun said
"Haha, if the world is united for a long time, it will divide, and if it is divided for a long time, it will unite. This is the general trend, and it is beyond human control. Now let's think about the things in front of us!" Cheng Feng said, feeling a little excited in his heart. The time for the heroes to compete is coming soon, and he should have done it early. get ready!
"Then I don't know what it means to be a hero!" Liu Tong asked, cupping his hands.
"It's not a high opinion. There are three ways to go at the moment," Cheng Feng said.
"Which three?" Wu Tiangang asked excitedly
"First, stay here, build the city and defenses from now on, and strive to build Liuzhuang into a city before the arrival of the Taiping Religion. Prepare more rolling wood and thunder stones, and teach the villagers how to protect their hometown, but, haha , I’m afraid there won’t be enough time, second, let all the villagers move into Yuzhu Mountain, stay away from this place, I hope they can live a stable life!” Cheng Feng said
"With all due respect," Wu Tiangang said, "Both of these two paths are not advisable. Most of the people here are old, weak, women and children. No matter what, if they encounter the Taiping Cult, they will be killed. Only by staying away from them can they survive. opportunity, I wonder what the third way is?”
"The third rule is to stay away from them. Everyone move away and stay away from this place. At least no one will recognize you. Find another place to settle down!" Cheng Feng said
"Isn't there any other way?" Several old men couldn't help but frown. This is a place where they have lived all their lives. Just leave!
"Let's go!" Liu Tong said decisively, and everyone was stunned by these words, "If we don't leave, we will die. We are so old, and if we die, we will die. There are so many children, they can't die here with us! We can't be sorry to our ancestors, Tiangang, let's talk to the big guys, pack up, and leave tomorrow morning!" the old man Liu Tong said.
