After walking along the rugged mountain road for about half an hour, they saw that the mountain was getting more and more steep, so Huangfu Yingyang and Xing Zhiying had to dismount and walk.
Huangfu Yingyang paid it back, but Xing Zhiying was still tired, but after a while she started to sweat on her temples and panted slightly.
When Huangfu Yingyang saw this, he was surprised and said: "Mao Yatou, you are not like that. After all, you are also a practitioner. How come you have such a good character on this road?"
Xing Zhiying lowered her head and said shyly, "It's my fault. Brother, just leave. I can keep up."
Huangfu Yingyang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Isn't Mao Ya girl hungry? Seeing that there is no smoke in front, I guess they have already started a gang. If we don't go faster, we may have to eat leftovers."
Xing Zhiying was startled when she heard this, and couldn't help but said doubtfully: "I only vaguely saw some lights, but there was some smoke somewhere. Did brother really see it?"
Huangfu Yingyang said suddenly: "Of course, my eyesight is not comparable to yours. Look carefully in the direction in front."
Xing Zhiying looked at it for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled softly: "I did not see the smoke, but suddenly I remembered an idiom called 'looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst'. Brother, do you know what this means?"
Huangfu Yingyang laughed and said: "It seems that this giant has to be called 'looking at the smoke to stop hunger'."
"But at least I have come up with such a clever plan, Mao Ya, can't you cooperate with me?"
Xing Zhiying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and changed the subject: "Brother, isn't it strange? I heard that Master Wen was from the army and his subordinates are always very strict. So why are we all here and haven't encountered the sentry post yet?"
Huangfu Yingyang nodded and said approvingly: "As long as you are thoughtful, Mao Ya, there must be sentry posts around the village, but we haven't reached the ground yet. But I am a little strange, how do you, a young lady, know these things?
?”
Xing Zhiying smiled sweetly and said: "Of course I read the novels and playbooks. I know the words when the Green Forest Hero appears. It's called 'I opened this mountain and planted this tree. I want to pass by here and leave money to buy the road.'"
',Isn't that right?"
Huangfu Yingyang saw Xing Zhiying's beaming look, and said slowly and amusedly: "Then you didn't tell the whole story. What's more?"
Xing Zhiying was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Really? I don't remember it anymore."
Huangfu Yingyang rolled his eyes and said: "The following should be pronounced like this - 'If you say no with half a bang in your teeth, chop off your head one by one with a knife, we will kill you or bury you, and send you to Wangxiang Terrace to see you Uncle Wu. I will never leave.
Come back', do you remember it now?"
Xing Zhiying said in surprise: "There are so many more, but why do you want to see Uncle Wu? Is there any allusion?"
Huangfu Yingyang smiled and said: "This 'Wu' refers to the 'Wu' that comes out of nothing, do you understand?"
Xing Zhiying suddenly said: "Everything is in vain after death, so that's what it means. Brother has been in the world for a long time, and he is indeed well-informed."
Huangfu Ying was so angry that he couldn't laugh. He looked at Xing Zhiying and said, "Do you really think that people in the green forest need to read the opera first when they are robbing?"
Xing Zhiying said blankly: "Isn't that the rule on the green forest road?"
Huangfu Yingyang sighed and said with a smile: "You are really a young lady. Forget it, you will be robbed once one day, and you will naturally know the truth and falsehood."
Xing Zhiying was wondering, but she suddenly heard Huangfu Ying's loud voice: "Friends on the post in front of us, the two of us are here just to visit our old friends, and we don't have any ill intentions, so there is no need to fire my friend's ringing arrows again."
Xing Zhiying's heart was shocked, and then she heard a cold and solemn voice say: "Your Majesty has a good eye, I wonder which old friend you plan to visit, can you make an appointment in advance?"
Huangfu Ying raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "It turns out that I am a young friend. No wonder he doesn't recognize me. Can I invite my friend to come and meet me?"
The voice coughed and said: "Your Majesty is a guest from afar, so we should treat you with courtesy, but I believe you understand the rules."
Huangfu Yingyang stood with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly and said: "Of course, friends."
The voice said happily: "Your Majesty is indeed smart, so I'll forgive you for offending me."
While he was talking, he saw four strong men emerging from their posts, holding beef tendon ropes in their hands and approaching with a sullen expression.
Xing Zhiying was shocked and lowered her voice: "Are these people going to kidnap us?"
Huangfu Yingyang nodded slightly and said, "Mao Yatou, remember, these are the real rules on the green forest road."
At this time, four men had already approached, and the voice said solemnly: "Your Excellency, it is best not to move rashly, otherwise you will not offend me."
Huangfu Yingyang said casually: "Including friends, there are a total of seven sentries, and a total of eighteen people are pointing bows and arrows at us, right?"
The voice seemed to be stagnant, and then he said calmly for a moment: "Your Majesty does have a background, but I am limited by my responsibilities, and I dare not be negligent in the slightest, so I ask for your cooperation."
Huangfu Yingyang laughed and said: "Of course we don't want to get on bad terms with our friends, but after all, this little girl is delicate and expensive, and tying her up together would be a big disgrace, so how about asking your friends to be a little accommodating?"
The voice pondered for a moment, and then said in a serious voice: "Okay, as your Majesty has asked, my sons and gentlemen will take action."
The four men responded in unison, and tied up Huangfu Yingyang in three strokes, five divided by two. Xing Zhiying looked hesitant, frowning and said softly: "Brother, is this really what you want?"
Huangfu Yingyang smiled dryly and said: "When you do as the Romans do, it's just a formality. After all, we are here to pay homage to the mountain, not to play football."
Xing Zhiying looked helpless and could only nod her head and said: "That's a shame, big brother. Thank you for taking care of me."
At this time, a slight cough was heard on the post, and a figure stepped out majestically. This person seemed to be about twenty-one or twelve years old, with a straight nose and a square mouth, sword-shaped eyebrows and round eyes. He was both heroic and elegant. He had a bow and arrow on his back.
He wears a sword on his waist, wears a slightly faded pure white shirt, and wears tiger-head combat boots. His air is calm as he walks, showing the demeanor of a general.
Huangfu Ying looked up clearly and blurted out a cheer: "My friend is so brave, I don't know what to call him?"
The visitor cupped his fists and said calmly: "Thank you very much. I, Feng Shijun, will be appointed as the chief inspector of the front mountain of our department. I don't know if you have a high name or a surname?"
Huangfu Yingyang smiled mysteriously, but instead of answering he asked, "My friend was originally Zuo Xiaowei's guerrilla?"
Feng Shijun paused for a moment and said calmly: "Why do you say this?"
Huangfu Yingyang was about to speak, but he shook his head and said, "No, you were just a young boy at that time."
"So it is said that you are a guerrilla official. I am afraid that you have never even been on the battlefield. It seems that you borrowed these clothes, right?"
Feng Shijun seemed to be stagnant, unable to conceal his surprise and said: "Your Majesty, you really know a lot of things, and you really seem to be an old friend of mine."
Just when Huangfu Yingyang thought he had a plan, he heard Feng Shijun say in a deep voice: "In that case, please go up the mountain first, and then come to pick up this girl after confirming that she is a friend rather than an enemy. Due to my responsibilities, I have no choice but to accompany you less.
