My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77
"Brother Xu, that bald man said that the Jiaolong Gang is in front of him."

After driving for half a day, Xu Chu and his party finally arrived at their destination.

However, to everyone's surprise, the location of the Flood Dragon Gang turned out to be an ordinary-looking small fishing village.

Xu Chu frowned slightly, and immediately shouted: "Everyone dismount and be on guard."

He walked up to the members of the Flood Dragon Gang at the back, frowned and said, "Is this what you call the Flood Dragon Gang?"

The head of the family smiled awkwardly: "Yes, no, we usually make a living by fishing. Later, we felt that fishing had no future, so we followed the example of the yellow scarf thieves and robbed it. There are more than 200 people in the village, and everyone agrees. , I didn't force them to become water bandits."

Xu Chu nodded. In fact, this kind of thing is not surprising to him. There are many people who can't live a life. Some people keep their duty, but more people choose another way.

You can't simply say who is right and who is wrong. Everyone has only one purpose, and that is to live.

If you want to blame, blame this world.

Xu Chu looked at Xu Huang who was on the side, and said, "Brother Gongming, you bring ten people in, and call the people from their village who can talk to you to exchange hostages. Let's take away the gold and jade that you want, and forget about the rest. "

Xu Huang let out a long sigh, and clasped his fists in response, "Okay..."

The process of exchanging hostages went smoothly. Originally, the purpose of Xu Chu and the others was to wipe out the so-called Jiaolong Gang, but looking at the orphans and widows in the village, the whole group fell silent.

Xu Huang and Le Jin even gave away the steamed buns they brought to eat on the road. The children were so pitiful. They were naked, covered in mud, and skinny. They were obviously caused by long-term malnutrition. .

Some people wonder, those gold and jade articles are worthless, why not pawn them for food?

The head of the family immediately gave the answer. They also went to the county to change, but they were caught directly, not to mention a few lives, and almost brought disaster to the village.

Over time, although they robbed everything, except for the food and clothes they robbed, other things were useless to them. The so-called: food is tasteless, but it is a pity to discard it. Generally speaking, it is those flashy gold and jade articles. .

What made everyone speechless was that some villagers even used the jade pot as a urinal, which made them feel sick for a while. If Wei Cheng hadn't ordered it, they really didn't want to touch that urinal.

Seeing Xu Chu and the others leave with big and small bags, the bald head and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

The head of the family sighed, looked back at the elders in the village, and told the whole story of himself and others.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, if you can't play hard, you finally kicked the iron board. Fortunately, the other party spared their lives and only took away some useless things.Otherwise, he would not dare to raise his head to face his fellow villagers.

The big head is called silver carp, and it is one of the most common big fish in the Yellow River.

The people in this village are composed of refugees who fled from various places. They have various surnames, but it is not important anymore. The children here are generally named after the fish in the big river, which represents the villagers' expectation for a good harvest. hope.

The silver carp is the tallest and the most ruthless of the younger generation in the village, so he was elected to be the so-called head of the village, but he is actually just a small gangster recognized by others.

Knowing what happened to them, the old people in the village sighed for a while. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the children. eat.

Hua Chuan followed his old father back home.

As soon as she entered the door, the little girl asked timidly, "Brother, do you still have steamed buns?"

The silver carp froze for a moment, looked at the old father beside him, and the old father also looked at the little daughter curiously: "What is a steamed bun?"

The little girl licked her lips and said aggrievedly: "Xiao Liu and the others all got steamed buns, but I didn't have one. I want to eat steamed buns too."

The silver carp frowned slightly, looked at the children chasing and playing in the village, and saw that they were holding food similar to steamed cakes in their hands.

He is no stranger to that thing. When they were tied up in Haojia Village, a villager gave them steamed buns and water, one steamed bun for each person.It was probably the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life, and he immediately devoured it. Last night, he even dreamed about steamed buns. In his dream, he saw a mountain made of steamed buns. No matter how he ate them, the steamed buns would never decrease. , very happy.

The old father next to him frowned and said: "It seems that those people gave it to you. My son, we don't want to eat it. Dad will cook fish soup for you."

The little girl pursed her mouth, not very happy.

Seeing this, the silver carp didn't know what to do.

···
Xu Chu and his party returned to Haojia Village smoothly.

Before handing over the gold and jade to Wei Ting, he specially asked everyone to clean the things, especially the urinal.

Wei Cheng was drying herbs in the shabby room. Hearing that Xu Chu and others had returned safely, he immediately came to the village.

From a distance, I saw Xu Chu and others walking towards him with large and small bags on their backs. Xu Chu threw the burden on the ground and made the sound of gold and iron.

"Young master, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. I brought back a total of 67 gold wares, 33 jade wares, and some worthless items. I thought they looked good, so I brought them back together."

Others also put their burdens in front of Wei Cheng one after another, and as the burdens were spread out, a large pile of gold, silver and jade objects were revealed.

Wei Cheng immediately sent someone to ask Mr. Jin to come and have a look.

While waiting for Mr. Jin to come over, Xu Chu and Xu Huang shared what they had seen and heard along the way.

Knowing that the so-called Jiaolong Gang turned out to be a dilapidated small fishing village, Wei Cheng also let out a long sigh without saying too much.

He is not a saint. There are so many people suffering in this world. If he sees and helps each other, when will he be a leader?

The only thing Wei Cheng can do is to take care of the present.

Not long after, Mr. Jin came with his disciples and grandchildren, and made an evaluation of these gold, silver and jade wares. To their surprise, besides the gold, silver and jade wares, they also found two coral statues and a round of giant clams inside.

Wei Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Hao Zhao to take the corals and giant clams to the shabby room and put them away.

"My lord, if you refine all of them, you should be able to make seven sets of gold ornaments, and these jades, although the texture is average, can be used as accessories if you carve them with a little precision." After reading it, Elder Jin and Wei Cheng said .

Wei Cheng nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, then I will trouble Mr. Jin, and I will leave these matters to you in the future."

Elder Jin clasped his hands, and brought his disciples and grandchildren to move the things into the shabby room. He planned to refine the gold and silver into cakes first, to see how much gold was actually contained, and then make a subdivision plan to make rational use of it as much as possible.

Watching Mr. Jin and his party go uphill, Wei Cheng looked back at Xu Chu and said, "I have something to do, you can help me out."

Xu Chu clasped his fists in response.

Wei Cheng looked at Xu Huang and said, "You should go together too. Go back to Wei Shi with Zhongkang, deliver a letter for me, and tell Wei Shi the information you know about the Baibo Army, so that they can have a better understanding." Prepare."

Xu Huang also cupped his fists in response.

Wei Cheng said: "It's okay if the Baibo army goes straight to Luoyang. If they dare to harass the villagers in Hedong, they may go to war. We can't be alone at that time. Your weapons... By the way, Xu Huang, what kind of weapons do you want? ?”

Xu Huang was startled for a moment, then bowed overjoyed: "My lord, I, I am good at using a sky-opening axe."

Wei Cheng had expected it a long time ago, but he still pretended to ponder and said: "I have a Pangu ax handle, the handle is five feet three inches long, the blade is two feet one inch wide, and weighs eighty catties. The whole body is made of ancient stainless steel. Can you make it move?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, "Taigu Jinggang?" It was Le Jin's voice.

Xu Chu also exclaimed: "Pangu axe, is it one of Tiangang's divine weapons?"

Xu Huang and Yue Jin still don't know what Tiangang Shenbing is, because Wei only released the news of the Disha 72 heavy weapon.

Hearing the explanation from Xu Chu and others at this time, Xu Huang's breathing was obviously a little short.

It turns out that this Disha 72 heavy weapon is not the most powerful, and there are 36 Tiangang magic weapons on it, each of which has the ability to destroy the world, and Wei Cheng has the rootless fire among the 36 Tiangang magic weapons in his hand. Amazing!

Wei Cheng tried his best to show a calm expression, and after Xu Chu and others explained, he said with a smile: "Although the Pangu ax is not a divine weapon of Tiangang, it ranks very high among the heavy weapons of the earth evil. Among the twelve heavy weapons I got Among them, it ranks second, higher than Zhongkang's Dragon Slaying Saber."

To the outside world, he has always advertised that he only has twelve heavy weapons. As for the existence of other heavy weapons, let the outsiders guess.

Wei Cheng just didn't want to take all the 'benefits' for himself, otherwise it would be easy to be jealous and cause unnecessary troubles.

Xu Huang was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he hurriedly knelt down towards Wei Cheng, and saluted respectfully.

"My lord, with such a powerful weapon, Huang is ashamed to accept it, but if you don't give up, Huang's life will be yours from now on. If you have an order, there will be mountains of knives and seas of fire, and Huang will dare to take the Pangu axe Let's go."

Wei Cheng nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Xu Huang's statement.

Then, he looked at the envious Le Jin, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, wait until your shoulder injury is healed. Now you should obediently recuperate in the village."

When Le Jin heard this, he hurriedly followed Xu Huang's example and half-kneeled to show his loyalty.

Wei Cheng helped the two of them up, and said bluntly: "If you want to thank you, you can thank yourself. If you hadn't touched me by your kind deed of distributing the steamed buns to those children, I would never have agreed with you so quickly. Two."

Xu Huang and Le Jin were taken aback when they heard the words, and then they clasped their fists at Wei Cheng again and saluted.

They would never have imagined that an unintentional act of theirs would actually fulfill their desire to obtain the magic weapon in disguise.

On the other hand, it also shows a point. They can get Wei Cheng's approval, which shows that Wei Cheng is also a kind-hearted person. They are willing to follow such a lord.

···
Anyi County.

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang found a cottage and planned to spend the night here tonight.

The three of them didn't have much to spend, and they ordered a can of hot soup (hot water), more than thirty pancakes, and a handful of green onions, which was a meal.

While eating the cake, Zhang Fei would mention the team he met in the morning from time to time.

Especially Xu Chu, who impressed him very deeply.

He is a combative person. In order to fight Guan Yu, he did not hesitate to use a stone mill to kill the well.It was also that time when I met Liu Bei by chance and coincidence, and there was a bridge where the three brothers drank and ate meat to express their heartfelt feelings and became sworn brothers after drinking.

"Second brother, can you beat that guy?" Zhang Fei asked with a smile.

Guan Yu broke off a piece of the handle, rubbed off the fine sand inside, threw it into his mouth, and replied, "How do you know if you haven't fought before, and the man is carrying a short bow with ox horns on his back. He must be of average strength in melee combat, but it is another man." ..."

Thinking of Xu Huang, Guan Yu couldn't help squinting his small eyes, and said, "If there is a chance, I would like to get acquainted."

A look of surprise flashed across Liu Bei's face, who was eating cake next to him. It was the first time he had seen Guan Yu interested in a stranger.

The three chatted while eating, and the voices were not loud.

Naturally, you will hear some noisy noises around you.

At this time, the Washe is not the inn in everyone's impression. There are also boxes like Tianzihao. All kinds of smells.

It's autumn now, and it's still quite cold at night. The location closer to the bonfire is usually a gathering place for green forest people.

At this time, after a man drank a bowl of wine, he said sadly: "At that time, I was only one foot away from the top of the cliff, but that one foot distance ruined my chance of obtaining the magic weapon. If God gave me a chance , I must..."

"Damn it, can you stop bragging, you obviously fell down after climbing about a foot, if it didn't happen to land on the haystack, you still have your life to talk about the mountains with us here now?"

The others burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Someone asked, "Then have you seen the magic soldier?"

The two men looked at each other in blank dismay, they hadn't seen each other before, but at this situation, they couldn't help but want to brag about it.

The man raised his head and said: "That's not true, you were not there, and you didn't see the power of the dragon-slaying sword. With just a light wave, the thigh-thick tree was cut off at the middle, and the cut surface was smooth and light, and the insects and ants stood on it." Can slip."

"Wow, is it really that sharp?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask him."

The other man coughed lightly in embarrassment, and with a longing look on his back, he said leisurely: "The Supreme Master of the Wulin, the sword and dragon slaying, commands the world, no one dares not to obey, brother Liu's words are absolutely true, you can see the demeanor of a magic weapon , this life is enough!"

After the two said this, and many people also heard about Wei Cheng's test and corroborated each other, they were somewhat convinced by what they said.

Liu, Guan and Zhang, who were sitting not far away, frowned slightly. Zhang Fei looked back at Guan Yu and asked, "Second Brother, can you cut down the tree that is as thick as your thigh?"

Guan Yu shook his head, Nian Xu said: "Ordinary weapons are definitely not enough, not to mention cutting it with one knife, even three or five knives can't do it, unless it is an axe, but the axe needs at least ten blows, and more Don't talk about knives."

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows thickly, looked at the two men who were talking, and remembered the words of that businessman from the Wei family.

If he could get the sharp blade of this magical weapon... Zhang Fei couldn't help but imagine the heroic scene of himself carrying the Dragon Slaying Saber and killing seven in and seven out of the chaotic army.

But Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other with a trace of dignity in each other's eyes.
