The place name Funiuzhai does not exist in any official classics or documents. However, for the people of the Taihang Mountains, it is a well-known place.

There are twenty-one mountain villages in Taihang Mountains that are not subject to the rule of the imperial court. The largest and most prosperous one is Funiu Village. Funiu Village is located in the south of Shangdang County, between Taihang Pass and Yangchan Ban Road. It is a place where several mountain-crossing roads that do not belong to the eight passes of Taihang. For decades, all kinds of people who cannot go upstairs such as private salt dealers, robbers from the rivers, green forest heroes, fled tenants, etc. have gathered here, and there are also various businesses such as selling stolen goods, gambling, leading the way to sneak past checkpoints, etc., using them as a base. Over time, there have been Funiu Village, a source of abandoned people in the imperial court.

From a distance, Funiu Village stands at the top of a mountain. The peak is towering into the clouds, with steep sides, and the cliffs are almost upright, and on both sides are deep and unstoppable mountain streams. Only by passing a stone staircase with a serpentine. At the top of the mountain is a flat land of dozens of acres in size. There are many houses on the flat ground, which are unplanned and squeezed and stacked together, making Lu Yao unable to help but think of the slums of Rio de Janeiro that he saw in the movie in his previous life.

Everyone was about to move forward, and suddenly a group of people jumped out of both sides of the road, holding shovels, manure forks and other farm tools to block the way. The group of people were ragged, all of them were skinny and bone-skinned, but their eyes were extremely ferocious, like a dog.

Wang De, the guard who led the way, was not surprised. He sang: "We are the guests of the Master Zhang's village. We visited us the day before yesterday. Please let us go."

The villagers looked indifferent and silent. One of the leaders walked up to see Wang De, nodded, turned around and left. The rest of the people scattered with him, and their figures disappeared into the dense forests on both sides of the road, and soon disappeared. Without any obstacles, everyone rode their horses and walked again. After walking for about half a mile, the terrain gradually became higher, and the road bent left and right along the terrain, with a corner every ten feet. On both sides of the road, there were small pieces of farmland and some houses scattered.

Just as he was rushing, Lu Yao suddenly took the horse and turned to the side. A man in green robe stood with his hands on his shoulders, watching here coldly. This man was tall and fat, with a rebellious face, and his head was full of hair fluttering in the wind. After finding that Lu Yao looked at him, he did not avoid it. His pair of bright eyes were still scanning this side without restraint.

Wang De passed by Lu Yao and said calmly: "General Lu doesn't need to pay attention to him. This man is Xiang Fei, a Bingzhou drama thief who has recently defected to Funiu Village, and it is the most vicious."

"So it was him." Lu Yao nodded slightly. He had heard of Xiang Fei's name. This man was a famous bandit leader in Bingzhou. He had been evil in the southern counties of Bingzhou for many years, and his life was at least a hundred. Over the years, the governor's office had issued a document on the sea captives and even once called for the official army to arrest him, but he could not do anything about him.

Since Wang De spoke, Lu Yao did not want to be troubled. He brought the reins and rode his horse to catch up with the rest of the people.

Not long after leaving, a middle-aged man ran over from the front, bowed and shouted, "The distinguished guest is here! I'm not welcomed you!"

Pei Langjun shook his eyes, and Wang De immediately greeted him and bowed, "Zhang Village Master."

When the villagers blocked the road and saw the village leader greeting him, it took only half a moment. I don’t know what channel it was conveying the information. Although this Funiu Village is a place outside, the layout is not simple, so we cannot underestimate it. Lu Yao thought in his heart and looked at the person in front of him.

The leader of Zhang's village had dark skin and frosty face. His coarse cloth clothes were also patched with several different colors, and he was dressed like a farmer. However, from his walking posture, the details of his hands and shoulders, it can be seen that this person was definitely a powerful warrior who had been baptized by war.

The leader of the village Zhang laughed and said, "Mr. Wang is polite. Zhang is just a manager who welcomes and sends him off. How can he be called the leader of the village?" He lowered his voice and asked, "I just set out from me the day before yesterday, why did I return so quickly? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Wang De looked calm: "The Huns army approached Taihang, and it was difficult to pass along the passes along the way."

"Everyone is a noble person. The so-called "A thousand gold-minded body cannot sit down, be cautious." Zhang's village leader nodded repeatedly. He looked at the rest of the people and asked again: "Where are those people of Lao Su? Why did you come back by yourself..."

"The group of people named Su actually wanted to kill and rob. Are you all the people in Funiu Village doing business?" Wang De was immediately angry.

"How could this happen?" Zhang's village leader was slightly surprised.

Wang De snorted angrily: "How could this happen? Old Zhang, I should ask you this!"

"Mr. Wang, don't be upset. If Su is indeed so reckless, my Funiu Village is very strict and I will never tolerate such scum. I will report to the leader of the big village to capture Su and others and deal with it heavily!"

"There is no need to bother the Great Village Master." Wang De shook his head and said, "The sixteen people below Boss Su have already been sentenced to death. If the Lord Zhang is willing, he might as well send someone to collect the body."

"..." The leader of the village was not sure what to say for a moment. The group of "distinguished guests" in front of him came to Funiu Village a few days ago. The leader, the young man surnamed Pei, seemed to have an old age with the leader of the village. When they met, they gave him generous gifts of gold, silk and wealth, which was very generous. Now it seems that they are not only very good at their hands, but also have few tricks.

He thought about it and left it to the leader of the village to worry about it. He simply talked about him and talked about the weather today, hahaha, and so on. He let Wang De stay unwilling to forgive him, and repeatedly accused Funiuzhai of being unreasonable in his work.

The leader of the village Zhang talked to Wang De, and Pei Langjun and others stood behind him without saying a word. The leader of the village Zhang was an old man. He knew that the group of distinguished guests were very proud of their status and had no intention of making friends with the people of the wild, so he did not come to talk. He responded with Wang De for a few words, and then quickly raised his hand and rushed in.

The mountain roads after that were too dangerous, with a road that was only three feet wide. On the left was a nearly upright stone wall, and on the right was a deep valley surrounded by clouds and mist. In many places, it was impossible to open up roads, so they dug holes in the stone wall, inserted wooden stakes into the holes, and then used wooden boards to spread them across the piles to form a plank road. People walked on it, as if they were walking on the sky road.

Everyone was holding horses and moving, and they were terrified step by step. They walked carefully for half an hour before they climbed to Funiu Village.

I don't feel it when I see it from a distance at the foot of the mountain. When I climbed to the top of the peak, I saw a vast and empty world. Beneath the clouds, the blue-gray mountains seemed to be rolling, connecting to the distant sky. The long river was like a storm, traveling between the magnificent mountains, adding thousands of atmosphere.

In the past two days, everyone traveled through the poor mountains and valleys for a long time. Looking up, they looked cliffs and cliffs. At this time, they finally felt cheerful. Pei Langjun sighed: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and the Small Lu, and climbed Mount Tai and the Small World. Only then can he realize the mind and courage of his ancestors."

The leader of the village followed along the way, responding from front to back, and then climbed up. Perhaps because of the hard work of climbing the mountain, his face was covered in sweat.

Although Boss Su was unexpectedly involved, he was still polite and attentive, and brought Pei Langjun and others to the largest and only inn in Funiu Village. The inn is really large in size, with three inns, upstairs and downstairs. There are many residents in the inn, and they drink, shout loudly, and make a fuss.

Of course, Pei Langjun would not live in such a lush place. Everyone led by the master Zhang to walk through the house and reach a quiet courtyard. The courtyard is located on the edge of the top platform of the mountain. The shape of the courtyard is different from that of the usual. The courtyard door is open south, the house is located on the east and north, and there are cliffs outside the low courtyard wall on the west side. Looking from the railing, you can see a waterfall flying down from the top of the mountain, which is refreshing. Although the furnishings in the house are not luxurious, they are spotlessly clean. At the gate of the courtyard, six blue-clothed servants stood with their hands, very respectful.

"Dear guests settle down first and rest." Zhang's village leader said with a smile: "The big village leader will arrive later."

After hearing what he said, Pei Langjun suddenly snorted coldly and walked into the main house.

Seeing that Pei Langjun was unhappy, Wang De's words immediately became stern: "Zhang Village Master, don't always interrupt. Your Funiu Village guide killed money. If we hadn't been alert, a big disaster would have happened. This matter is quite serious, and someone would have to give an explanation."

The leader of the village Zhang said with a bitter face: "Why do you have to do this by Mr. Wang? Where can we care about those mountain people in Funiu Village? We are just people who are just to introduce you to your two families..."

"Hehe, the master Zhang's village made some bold statements the day before yesterday, saying that Funiu Village was the only one who was in this thousand-mile Taihang Mountain. He stomped his feet and swayed the ground. At this moment, he said that he could not control the mountain people, which was obviously perfunctory! Moreover, even if the middle-aged people were not allowed to protect them, would you dare to say that you did not have any responsibility at all?" Wang De shook his head.

This is a bit confusing. The implication is clearly that Funiuzhai has gained fame and has no faith in his words. The leader of the village suddenly stared at him and planned to refute a few words.
