Carrying the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 67: Things in Lingzhou
To the north of Liangzhou and south of Yanbei is Lingzhou.
Outside Yanbei City is the land of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and Liangzhou City is the last barrier to enter Zhongzhou. The journey from Yanbei City to Liangzhou City is originally a flat area, but it is precisely because of the addition of Lingzhou's hundreds of miles of mountains that it becomes possible.
The three cities of Yanbei, Liangzhou and Lingzhou were at the horns of each other and became Qiyun's barrier city against the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Lingzhou City is built in these mountains. In winter, clouds and mist surround Lingzhou City, making Lingzhou City hide in it. In the spring and autumn, Lingzhou is among the mountains, and the leaves are lush, making this city surrounded by mountains.
The city surrounded by mountains is more hidden. If Yanbei is not lost, this place is a bridge city connecting the two states. If Yanbei is lost, this place will become the last line of defense to protect Qiyun.
At that time, the Jin army marched south to Zhao. If Zhao Chi, the king of Zhao at that time, had capable generals, he would have only needed more than ten thousand soldiers to hide in the Baili Mountains of Lingzhou and ambush the Jin army. Zong Yan's hundred thousand cavalry could have been defeated in vain.
Why did Qi Lin and Gu Jianyi use the ambush strategy in Wugui Mountain outside Liangzhou City?
It is precisely because of the unique terrain of Lingzhou that since ancient times, the heroes of the green forest have often chosen to rob the roads and plunder money here. And the city of Lingzhou has naturally become a gathering and trading place for these people from the green forest. Whether it is Tianying
, Zhao State, and now Qi Yun State, have all sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress bandits in Lingzhou, but unfortunately, the mountains in Lingzhou stretch for hundreds of miles, not to mention the annihilation, even the repeated searches of the mountains cannot find these green forests.
trace.
Once they came and went, the government no longer cared about these green forests. As long as they did not do anything rebellious, they would just let them go. As a result, some green forests in the northern border of Qiyun poured into the mountains of Lingzhou.
, as fish and dragons mingled, there was a fight. After a bloody storm, the green forests in Lingzhou gradually formed three peaks and eighteen villages, and they jointly controlled the green forests in Lingzhou.
Whether they are escorts from the escort bureau or merchants transporting goods, they have to be extremely careful if they want to pass through Lingzhou. The Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages in Lingzhou also abide by the moral principles of the world. Regardless of whether they are escorts or merchants, as long as they pay homage to the mountain gate,
You can safely cross Lingzhou and enter the territory of Liangzhou.
After the Green Forest War that year, the three Green Forest leaders in Lingzhou gathered in Xiaolou Peak in the mountains of Lingzhou. Lord Shen, who was elected by all the Green Forests, was the leader of the three peaks. He distributed gold and silver to the leaders. All the Green Forest leaders fell down.
Also feel at ease.
Over the years, although the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages have occasionally fought with each other, it was under the mediation of the Shen Village Master that the fights would soon subside. Just when the people in the Lingzhou Green Forest were living a pleasant life, a group of people passing by
The mysterious man changed the tranquility of the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages.
A few days ago, the little leader who was patrolling the mountains of Lingzhou discovered that on a trail heading to Lingzhou City, a team of about twenty or thirty people was heading towards Lingzhou City in the mountains.
I remember that when I left the village, I inquired about it and found that no one had visited the mountain recently.
The little boss secretly thought: "Instead of paying homage to the mountain gate, I just thought about our Xique Peak. Come on, I have been losing money to Lao Liu's group recently, taking their money, and looking for Lao Liu's group to make money."
go."
According to the rules of the green forest in Lingzhou, if the merchants and escort agencies worship the mountain gate, then Lord Shen Feng will naturally distribute the money to each village at the beginning of the month. If there are no worshipers, whose territory they pass by will naturally belong to whom. But Shen Feng
There are rules when it comes to controlling a building. If you take property, you can't hurt people's lives.
Although most of the property from the robbery still had to be handed over to the village, the small bosses would naturally withhold some of the property privately. As the leader of the village, he turned a blind eye to these things.
He took his three or five brothers and turned down the slope. Several of them blocked the way of this group of people with single swords in their hands.
The little leader and his brothers held their heads high and were about to say the cliche phrase "I drive this road" when they saw a cold light flash in the leader's hand. The brothers around him didn't even say a word.
Blood was spattered on the spot and he died.
Looking at the corpses of several brothers, the little leader's face turned pale. He knew that he had encountered a tough situation today, so he knelt down and begged for mercy.
The leader had a sinister look in his eyes and was dressed in a black short-sleeved jacket. All the people accompanying him were dressed in the same way. The leader stared at the little leader kneeling on the ground and said, "I ask, you answer. If there is even the slightest hesitation, you lie."
I will go to the underworld and travel with your brothers."
The little leader shook his head like chaff and kowtowed.
The man walked to the corpses in the green forest, pulled out a short knife from their bodies, wiped some of the blood, and asked: "Lingzhou is deep in the forest and sparsely populated, how dare you lead these few people to rob the road?"
"The little one is just a small figure in the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages. There are rules in the green forests of Lingzhou. As long as all passing merchants and escorts pay money to worship the mountain, no one will be in trouble." The little boss didn't dare to raise his head. He just thought he was the fastest to win.
Answer the person's questions at a fast pace.
"Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages? Tell me." The man narrowed his eyes and wiped the blood on the dagger that had just killed a group of minions.
"There were originally many people in Lingzhou Green Forest, each doing their own thing, but since Shen Yulou came to Xiaoloufeng, it took him a few months to conquer all the green forests in Lingzhou, leaving only Xiaoloufeng, Xiquefeng and Donglai.
There are a total of eighteen villages in the three peaks."
"Oh? So, the troops from these three peaks are all taking orders from Shen Yulou?"
"Returning to the uncle, the villain is a leader on the West Que Peak. Although Shen Yulou used force to force the people of the Eighteen Villages to act according to his rules. Although everyone is afraid of his martial arts, my leader Hu Village is not convinced.
He... But I heard that Song Shu from Donglai Peak admires Shen Yulou very much, so our village leader had no choice but to follow Shen Yulou's rules."
"Since you said that Shen Yulou is very skilled in martial arts, why would it be easier for him not to destroy your Xique Peak?" The man seemed to be interested and asked with great interest.
"It's just because the owner of my village is a distant cousin...and the escort head of the escort agency in Lingzhou City, he is the one who started the trend of businessmen and escorts in Lingzhou. Maybe it's because of this that Shen Yulou didn't
Take action against me, Xique Peak." In order to save his life, the little boss revealed all the confidential information he had accidentally learned.
The man put several short knives into his pocket, turned back and whispered to the two men with black and white faces: "You two go into Lingzhou City first, look for the man named Liu, and tell him that I, Chi Qianren, have taken a liking to these three peaks.
In the Eighteen Villages, I asked Liu, the man named Liu, to come here to discuss. Then he quickly went to Liangzhou. Although my senior brother who was full of morals accepted the order from Mo Zhe, he has not come to join us. If you two
Now he will shirk it again and go and arrest my beautiful junior sister. She is my senior brother’s heart, and I won’t be afraid of him not being able to obey him by then.”
The person with the black and white face was none other than the two judges Yin and Yang who later had their hands crippled by Gu Xiao and died under the escort of Su Mei Xingchen. And this leader was Chi Qian who betrayed Chi Tianya Momen and became a dead soldier in the world.
blade.
Since Chi Qianren and the Mohists who had been reduced to dead soldiers had obtained Liu Piaopiao's letter and the Mohist's order seal, I thought that with this thing, even if Chi Tianya was the master's personal successor, when he accomplished the task,
The man surnamed Liu gave the Mohist order to him, and the people of Chi Tianya would have to obey the order from now on.
Seeing that the two judges Yin and Yang had received their orders and set off towards Lingzhou. Turning around, Chi Qianren looked at the trembling little leader and said: "If you don't want to die, take me to Xique Peak." After saying this, he said to him again.
The man next to me holding a pipe said: "Poet and pot, you stay here until the man surnamed Liu comes and looks for the mark we left to find me."
Given the chance to survive, the little leader didn't care about many other things. He hurriedly climbed up and led Chi Qianren and the others through the mountains and forests toward the Xique Peak Mountain Village.

But in Lingzhou City, after Liu Piaopiao and Fei Wei burned down Liuzhuang, they drove a carriage all the way to Lingzhou City. Before entering the city, they also encountered those Lingzhou green forests, but what happened to these two people's martial arts skills?
The robbers were able to resist, and even after losing several lives, no one dared to stop these two from going to Lingzhou.
After arriving in Lingzhou City, they found a private house and the two settled Liu Yi. Under Fei Wei's urging, Liu Piaopiao finally took out the Mo Zhe's order and sent out a letter calling for the dead.
Before his eyes, he solemnly stamped his seal with the ink order.
Fei Wei also wrote a handwritten letter, detailing the affairs of Liuzhuang according to the plan he had discussed with Liu Piaopiao before, and sent it to Jindaomen. The two of them each had their own secrets, and they were anxious for several days, until finally they received the letter written by the master of the sect.
Tell the two of them that although it is a pity that Liuzhuang was burned down, the matters on their shoulders are more important. As for Liu Gao, he will meet Gao Lian and tell them personally, so that they can work hard to complete the interception and killing.
, don’t be distracted.
Fei and Liu were relieved after receiving Wang Yan's autographed letter. Especially Liu Piaopiao, who finally got rid of the control of Liu Gao's Yasha. If he acted according to his own plan, he would subdue the group of dead soldiers and then Fei Wei.
This ugly guy is over, and now it's time to take control of your own destiny.
When he is completely out of the control of the Golden Knife Sect and becomes a powerful force, he will go to look for the girl in green clothes and Naquan Tuoguang to avenge his son's disfigurement, serious injury, and dementia.
After Liu Yi woke up, he learned that his mother was dead, that he was disfigured and disabled, and that something had happened in Liuzhuang. How could the young man with fine clothes and fine food from a young age be able to withstand such stimulation, and turned into a stupid person, facing the house all day long?
The water tank in the courtyard murmured to itself, even going to the toilet required help.
Although Liu Piaopiao was a vicious murderer of his wife, he had loved his son very much since he was a child. Now seeing his son become like this. With Fei Wei urging him all day long, Liu Piaopiao could only suppress the hatred in his heart and carry out the interception and killing mission.
Making preparations.
Judge Yin and Yang entered Lingzhou City and found Liu and Fei according to the summoned letter. He informed Liu and Fei about Chi Qianren going to conquer the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages outside Lingzhou City, and then turned directly to Liang.
He left Liangzhou. Later, the incident of Yuelai Tower in Liangzhou happened.
Liu Piaopiao had summoned the Chi Qianren group under the order of Mo Zhe to pretend to be the Northern Jin Dynasty knights and plunder the people to make money. Now she wanted to control these people for her own use in order to escape from the Golden Sword Sect. Unexpectedly, Chi Qianren did not listen to the summons.
I went alone to the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages outside the city.
Fei Wei was even more worried. Liuzhuang was destroyed and Liu Gao died. If there was another mistake in this interception, how would he return to the Golden Knife Gate to recover. Although Liu Fei and Liu had their own thoughts, they heard that Chi Qianren's men
Judge Yin and Yang said this, and the two of them looked at each other and made up their minds to go to the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages outside Lingzhou City.
Liu Piaopiao hired several people to take care of Liu Yi, who was already suffering from dementia.
After discussing with Fei Wei, the two quickly left the city and headed towards the place mentioned by Judge Yin and Yang.
——
At Xique Peak, Hutou Village, the leader of Hutou Village looked at the group of people outside the village gate carrying his subordinates like chickens. His cloudy eyes turned and he said: "Come to my Hutou Village.
What's the matter?"
Chi Qianren walked out from the crowd with his hands behind his back, and said to the towering village gate: "I'm here to help Master Hu capture the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages."
Then the sword flashed in his hand, and the head of the little leader who betrayed Hutou Village fell to the ground. The leader picked up the bloody head, smiled at the leader of Hu Village on the gate of Gaogao Village, and said: "This traitor's head
