Zhu Hansan was thinking about how to break through the mountain gate and capture Yan Bao. Since Yan Bao escaped back to the mountain, he was also thinking about how to escape and stop interfering in the affairs between these big guys.
As soon as he returned to the village, Yan Bao called Li Lang and Shan Niu to discuss.
"Two brothers, you all have seen what is going on in Huya Village now. The county magistrate regards us as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and with the help of fierce men like Yan Liang, he will definitely not give up. We Huya
We have to find a way to figure out where the brothers in the village should go."
Yan Bao took a sip of wine wildly, and after quenching his thirst, he said worriedly.
"Brother, you are a little too nervous. If Taishan was so easy to attack, it would have been captured years ago. Why wait until Zhu Hansan came? The food in the village is enough for us to eat for a year, and there is also plenty of wine and meat. Little brother Yi
Seeing this, we closed the mountain gate tightly, defended the mountain stronghold, and spent several months with the officers and soldiers. When they couldn't get any benefits, they naturally left."
After Shan Niu listened to Yan Bao's words, he didn't take it seriously, waved his hands and smiled.
"What's your opinion?"
As for the mountain ox, Yan Bao just went in and out without paying any attention to it.
"Brother, have you seen something wrong? If Zhu Hansan refuses to let go, we can spend money to eliminate the disaster. None of these officials are greedy. As long as we can afford the money, they will not take it.
How are we doing?"
Li Lang is a good fighter, but he is also a person who doesn't like to use his brain. Seeing Yan Bao's look, he replied nonchalantly.
"well!"
After Yan Bao heard this, he sighed sadly. Among the brothers, only Sun Hu liked to use his brain and had many clever ideas. But now that Sun Hu died in the battle, they were forced to defend the cottage. But this
After all, the solution is not a long-term solution. Yan Bao doesn't want to become cannon fodder in other people's games.
Taishan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but its advantages are often also its disadvantages. There is only one way up the mountain, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the bottom of the mountain. If they don't want to be killed on the mountain, then the only way out is to rush down the mountain.
Fight to the death with the army.
As he was thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed in Yan Bao's mind, and he whispered to the two people beside him: "Tell me, after Guo Daxian came to Luocao in Shangtai Mountain, did he send anyone to build a secret tunnel?"
"Why!"
Shanniu slapped his forehead, as if he remembered something, and quickly replied: "Brother, if you don't tell me about this, I really won't be able to remember it!"
"What's the matter? Is there really a secret passage?"
As soon as he had a little hope, Li Lang's heart suddenly became hot. At this time, even the wine in the bowl no longer smelled good. He quickly took Shan Niu's hand and asked urgently.
Even Yan Bao just said this to the doctor, but he didn't expect that looking at the appearance of the mountain ox, there might be a secret passage up Taishan. He also looked at the mountain ox nervously.
"I don't know if there is a secret passage, but in the past Guo Daxian once summoned the water-savvy brothers in the village to go to the cave behind the lobby. Strangely enough, fifty or sixty people went in, but only three or four came out.
Ten people, about twenty people disappeared without any reason, and those who came out were all wet. When the brothers outside asked what happened, they kept silent. Do you think this is strange?"
Mountain Niu lay on his back, looking mysterious and mysterious, and whispered: "Later, there was a rumor in the village that a mountain god lived in the cave, and the twenty or so people who disappeared were given to the mountain god by Guo Daxian to eat."
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Lang laughed dumbly and said: "Shanniu, you're not bragging to me, are you? Why haven't I heard of such rumors?"
"How long have you been here at the cottage?" Shanniu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "How can you know everything? I also came early, so I was lucky enough to hear some rumors, but later Guo Daxian came forward in person to tell the truth.
This matter has been suppressed, but... ever since that time, the cave has been listed as a forbidden area in the village, and is guarded all year round. No one can go near it without Guo Daxian's order."
"Haha, let's go, let's go and see what kind of place it is. It's actually said to be so magical."
Yan Bao's eyes were full of excitement. He jumped directly to the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said with a grin.
"I have nothing to do, so I will accompany you on a trip. Do you want to take some people with you?"
The sparkle in Shan Niu's honest eyes flashed away, and he spoke before Li Lang.
"If you're bringing someone with you, there's no need. Anyway, we're just walking around at home, just the two of us."
Yan Bao obviously had his own little thoughts and said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Shanniu nodded, thinking Yan Bao's words were right.
"Brother, what about me?"
Li Lang was dumbfounded when he saw this, pointed at himself and asked.
"If you have nothing to do, go to the stockade and see where the defense of the stockade needs to be strengthened."
Yan Bao thought for a moment and said.
After a while, Shan Niu led Yan Bao to a wall. At first glance, people who didn't know it thought it was a separate courtyard.
"Shanniu, have you changed your place of residence?"
Seeing several guards standing in front of the 'yard', Yan Bao asked angrily.
"Haha..." Shanniu laughed when he heard this, looked at Yan Bao with an expression that I knew he would be like this, and replied: "Brother, you don't know something. The entrance to the cave is in this courtyard.
There were more and more people in the village, so Guo Daxian had people build a wall outside the cave, but it was just to cover people's eyes and ears."
"Shanniu, what are you doing here?"
Shan Niu's laughter alerted the guards. Not long after, several guards were seen walking out of the yard. One of them asked suspiciously after seeing that it was Shan Niu and the others.
"Tie Zhu, are you still guarding this yard? I thought someone had changed!"
After Shanniu saw the man's appearance, he smiled.
"I, Yan Bao, am the current head of Huya Village."
Yan Bao took a step forward and said.
"What? Where's Brother Guo? How come it's your turn to be the boss?" Tie Zhu was stunned when he heard this, his face changed drastically, and then he looked at Shan Niu with an evil look and asked: "Shan Niu, is it possible?
Did you harm Brother Guo?"
"What did brother Tiezhu say? How could we harm the eldest master? You stay here all the year round, so there are some things you don't know. Let me explain to you. As early as half a month ago, the eldest master brought his hand
After the cavalry went down the mountain to plunder, they never came back!"
Shanniu grinned, not afraid of Tie Zhu's eyes at all, and spread his hands and explained: "But there are nearly a thousand people in the village, and we cannot be without an owner for a day, so the brothers elected the second master, Yan Bao, as the new master of our Huya Village."
"Brother Guo will never come back? How is this possible? He has more than forty cavalry? Who dares to go against our Huya Village in Anping Kingdom?"
Tie Zhu's face was full of disbelief, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if the leader is missing, we have to find someone first? How can we rashly appoint another leader?"
"You think we didn't send someone to look for him? And we found him, but it's hard to get him back. Now Guo Daxian is in jail in Jingxian County! Do you want us brothers to break into the county seat?
Can’t do it?”
Shanniu rolled his eyes and explained angrily: "You may not know yet, but the magistrate of Jing County has been replaced. The current magistrate is very stubborn and stubborn. At noon today
, our brothers also fought a battle with the army at the foot of the mountain, and killed hundreds of brothers."
"What? The government troops are coming to attack us? How many county soldiers are there in the county? Even if the county magistrate has this idea, he must have the courage to do so!"
Tie Zhu was surprised again and said with a look of disbelief.
"I'm too lazy to explain to you here, so get out of the way. The boss wants to go into the yard and take a look."
Shanniu urged impatiently.
"You want to enter the courtyard? No, Brother Guo has explained before that no one is allowed to step into this courtyard without his order."
Tie Zhu shook his head and decisively refused.
"I am the boss of the village, but I don't have the right to enter?"
Yan Bao's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy. He could tell from Tie Zhu's words that these people were all Guo Daxian's buddies. When he said these words, Yan Bao was already thinking about how to get rid of these people.
.
"As I said just now, no one is allowed in without Brother Guo's order."
Tie Zhu looked resolute and did not take a step back even though the person in front of him was his new leader.
"I said you are stupid, aren't you?"
"Hey, what are you hiding from?"
Shan Niu made a move to pat Tie Zhu on the shoulder, but Tie Zhu took a step back. After dodging Shan Niu's hand, he said sternly: "Shan Niu, do you want to use force?"
"I still want to take pictures of you!"
Shanniu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and replied angrily.
"Let's go and come back later."
Yan Bao suppressed the anger in his heart, greeted Shan Niu and turned around to leave.
After Yan Bao and the others left, a man next to Tie Zhu said worriedly: "Brother Tie Zhu, do you think what the mountain cow just said is true?"
"This matter is probably true," Tiezhu replied with an indifferent expression: "Otherwise, that boy Shanniu would not have changed his family so quickly."
"Then what should we do?"
The man asked anxiously: "Looking at Yan Bao's posture, he should have gone to call someone."
"Well, I offended Yan Bao just now, and I will definitely be controlled by him in the future. At this time, there are officers and soldiers guarding the mountain. I want to escape through a secret passage. I wonder if any of you brothers want to join me?"
Tie Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said.
"Brother Tiezhu, wherever you go, we will go."
The others didn't hesitate at all and replied directly.
"Since Brother Guo is no longer in the village, we will have nothing to gain if we continue to stay. Without further ado, we will leave to Shangtai Mountain." Tie Zhu glanced at the flowers and plants around him with nostalgia. This was the scene of his life for many years.
place, then gritted his teeth and returned to the yard first.
Just after everyone worked hard to move the boulder, when Tie Zhu saw a group of figures actually appearing in the cave, he was startled at first, and then shouted sharply: "Who are they?"
