Chapter 41 – The Threat of the Four Great Sect Masters
Under the Volsung Peak.
The rolling tents were filled with constables whose hair was messy and their bodies reeked of sweat because they hadn’t bathed for days.
The two big pot stoves in the corners were cold and dry, breakfast had not been made and many people could not eat.
Su Zefeng, Yuan You Rong, Chen Jing and Yuan Moer’s group of people stood on a boulder, gazing at the peak.
Yesterday’s day-long scolding battle didn’t seem to have much effect, after all, the other party’s scolding skills weren’t weak either.
Moreover, it was also a bit too boring.
So, there is no so anymore.
The head thief Xin Zhuo was already shrewd and difficult to deal with, and with the addition of a rebel boy Murong Huo, who was not weak in martial arts, the difficulty increased all of a sudden.
Progress in rescuing the people was about equal to zero.
Su Zefeng glanced at Mr. Good Learning who was sitting on a tree branch in the distance with his eyes closed, shook his head, and asked his side: “When will Elder Murong and the people from the four great families arrive?”
Chen Jing held his injuries for the past two days to participate in the liaison matters with the Prefecture and knew it like the back of his hand: “That group of people are all experts, with their footsteps, I’m afraid they’ll be here tonight!”
The crowd looked at each other and sighed in relief, a hint of joy appeared on their faces as well.
Who would have thought that just at this time, the peak of the “small pepper” female thief that impressed everyone, suddenly stood to the edge of the peak, crossed her waist: “Hey, so that you dogs know, we decided to release Miss Su in the afternoon, the premise is that we want 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 1,000 stone of grain and grass, 300 sets of brand new clothes. Three hundred sets of brand new clothes ……”
Blah blah blah said a whole lot.
The peak below was instantly silent, countless pairs of bewildered eyes looked over, and big question marks were written all over their brains.
Even that Mr. Good Learning also opened his eyes, with a hint of doubt on his face.
Suddenly released?
Su Zefeng a group of people even feel a breath held in the heart, can not go up, can not come down, Murong family head of the group of people will soon arrive, no accident, can destroy the village of the Dragon Walled.
Now they are compromised without warning?
This is like, raised the big knife, ready to cut down, cut a lonely?
Killing mountain bandits doesn’t seem to be so enjoyable anymore.
No, we don’t agree. Let’s release it tomorrow!
This kind of words, Su Zefeng group of people of course can’t speak, so no one reply.
“Are you deaf? Hurry up and honestly go to prepare the supplies, we want it in the afternoon, we won’t let go even if we have fewer people! Hmph!”
Han Qiniang arrogantly tilted her neck and disappeared into the edge of the peak with a big swagger.
“I don’t know what kind of ghost idea they’re playing, my sister’s safety can’t be compromised, make two-handed preparations.” Su Zefeng sighed, “It’s too late to go back to the city in the afternoon, the group put together the silver.”
……
Volsung Walled City.
Huang Dagui and Bai Jianxiao each picked a flat burden, four large bamboo baskets filled with strange daily necessities.
Han Jiulang was holding Xiao Huang and carrying a large bag.
Xin Zhuo, Murong Huo and Cui Ying’er looked at the messy patterns on the muddy ground under their feet.
“Those people of my grandfather, they came from the east in the direction of the Prefecture City, closer to the Water Moon Nunnery.”
Murong Huo pointed with a stick: “So the mountain over the Water Moon Nunnery cannot be visited.”
“Then we can only go down from the peaks on the side of Water Moon Nunnery, and make a detour to the Autumn Palace Pavilion, if the Autumn Palace Pavilion doesn’t block us, we can go into the western foothills of the big mountains, that side is far away from the Prefecture City, and there are many mountains, but the disadvantage is that there is no place to settle down, and there is no food.”
Cui Ying’er frowned tightly.
In the morning Xin Zhuo told the content of Murong Huo’s flying pigeon, the people deliberated for half a day, or decided to avoid the wind for the time being, walking!
Xin Zhuo looked at Su Miao Jin who was sitting in the room, being stuffed with rags in her ears and blindfolded by Cui Ying Er, and smiled: “No need to get entangled, just walk over to the Autumn Palace Pavilion, wait for me at the designated place, let’s go to a good place, have food and drink and play!”
“Ah?”
The crowd looked blankly at their own Big Boss, is there such a place in the world?
Huang Da Gui laughed: “You won’t hit the capital, cut off the emperor’s head and sit on the emperor’s bird seat, right?”
No one paid attention to him, it was too impractical. “Da Dangjia, Sister Ying’er.” Han Qiniang returned from outside, “Are we really leaving?”
Saying this, her eyes reddened and tears ticked down, she had lived in Volsung Walled City since she was a child, and it was quite difficult to let go of the sadness of leaving home.
“Pfft!” Cui Ying’er first laughed out, “How can we leave, where can we go? Big Boss said he wants to play guerrilla, wind them up and come back!”
Han Qiniang has more tears in her eyes: “Then why did you ask them for so much grain and grass?”
Cui Ying’er flicks her forehead: “Big Boss said it’s called a delaying tactic to divert their attention from the fact that we’ve decided to run off and go guerrilla!”
Han Qiniang then breaks into a smile, wiping her tears to look at Big Boss: “Really? So what’s playing guerrilla?”
“A profound strategy to play them off!”
Xin Zhuo narrowed his eyes and waved his big hand: “You guys can set off now!”
Cui Ying’er and the others were not ambiguous and turned around, only to walk a distance and look at Xin Zhuo reluctantly: “Big Boss, will you be alright?”
“Are you kidding, how could I be alright!”
Xin Zhuo was confident beyond measure, until a group of mountain bandit subordinates gradually disappeared into the back peak, the smile on his face disappeared and he muttered to himself.
“Game on!”
He basically didn’t sleep last night and analyzed the form, staying here was not an option.
It is said that two hundred miles east of Fufeng Prefecture City, there is a Xiongfeng Mountain, on the mountain there are 10,000 fifteen years ago to conquer the Eastern Barbarians, due to the delay in the march, the general was killed by the emperor on the verge of a rebellion of the thieves.
Recently, the bandits came down from the mountain, and have been attacking the city, and will arrive at Fufeng City in a few days.
Then, the government will not have the energy to fight the mountain thieves, and by releasing Su Miaojin on his side, he can at least eliminate the hatred of the government for a short period of time.
The only thing that is a bit tricky is the upcoming experts of the four great families, but playing guerrilla with them and playing a time difference is a good choice, anyway, the mountain is so big.
He only stayed, of course, and the peak under the handover Su Miaojin, to Cui Ying’er they buy enough time to run, in addition there are some other thoughts.
Waited for about a few incense sticks of time.
He walked back to the room, removed Su Miaojin’s “earplugs” and “blindfold”, looked at the other party’s slightly bewildered eyes, and smiled: “Miss Su, you’re free!”
Happiness came too quickly, too suddenly.
Su Miao Jin was not able to accept it for a moment, and scanned the empty fortress, then looked at Xin Zhuo: “What tactics do you want to play again?”
“Saying let you go is letting you go, don’t think too badly of me.”
Xin Zhuo walked behind her, looking at her messy hair, “Sit still, beautiful up the mountain, of course, also want to send you back beautifully, I will definitely count on my words, in fact, also want to thank you, I harvested these days is good, we are also considered a friend, right?”
Friends? There are friends who sleep together? Su Miao Jin gave a faintly unnoticeable hum.
Xin Zhuo had already removed Su Miaojin’s hairpin, then smoothed out her waist-length hair, then nimbly coiled up her hair.
In his previous life, before the death of his mother, was a beautician, especially good at hair braiding, he followed the ear, learned a few hands, all kinds of hair ornaments in ancient and modern times and foreign countries in the world, originally thought of the priority of the right to choose a spouse and so on, but did not think to bring to this world.
Su Miao Jin did not know what Xin Zhuo was going to do, and did not dare to move, but soon felt Xin Zhuo’s dexterous hands in his own hair, very professional, a moment not to be infatuated.
What kind of little mountain thief is this? Knowing everything?
I don’t know how long, that little thief finally stopped, took out a heart protector copper mirror and placed it in front of her.
Mirror a little ha-ha face meaning, but can see the head of the handsome hair accessories: spirit snake bun, each side of the two sides of the braided two coiled twist pigtails, after the middle of the hair hanging down.
She was already born beautiful, this hairstyle can be said to complement, more handsome and lovely.
“After applying makeup, I whispered to my husband to ask him about the depth of his painted eyebrows.”
She inexplicably recalled a poem, and couldn’t help but freeze, this little thief really didn’t know that a man can only comb his wife’s hair?
At this time Xin Zhuo’s hand, had already reached over.
The palm of his hand was very tender and gentle, this was Su Miao Jin’s experience.
Maybe other people can’t understand what Xin Zhuo means, she understands.
Send you away!
