Lu Ming

Chapter 24
As the only person in the team sitting on the sliding pole, Cao Zhenren is now complacent.

Underneath is a hard-working bearer, and next to him is an army of bandits who call in front and back.

Along the way, he desperately recalled a movie he saw when he was a child: the old bandit sitting on the sliding pole with the smoking gun, the running PLA, the mountain city in the crossfire. Unfortunately, he could not remember the name of the movie, the content of the movie and his old man The current situation is very appropriate, but this time it is not the People's Liberation Army to destroy him. Today's script is that he will go to kill the people, and his old man is now on the side of justice.

"Sir, I'm afraid I don't know that there are Taoist temples on this mountain. Hehe, Tianmu Mountain is also a blessed place for Taoism. When I'm interested, I'll take my husband to play for a few days. Maybe he can find someone with the same vein, hehe, hehe."

The style of Zhou Dazhai's speech has changed greatly in the past few days. He has suddenly transformed from a person who pays attention to temperament to a long-winded old king next door. Although Cao Chuan is not used to it, he understands that this is exactly the result he wants.

In the afternoon a few days ago, the mountain behind Pingfengzhai, the scorching warhead, the bursting fire, the loud noise, the senior officials of Pingfengzhai who were fortunate to see the power of the "Xianjia Lianzhu Fire Gun", finally put down the "beware of everything." ” mentality, and began to formally evaluate a topic: what can Xianchang bring to everyone?
In fact, someone Cao has always been very puzzled.After the others passed through with bare buttocks, within a few days, the elder brother took off his robes to give way, and the younger brother bowed his head and started all the way to victory.The old man came in a hurry. He brought salt and knives to himself, but he didn't care. This group of people always regarded him as a "dangerous tenant". It can still be seen to prevent him.

Everything changed that afternoon, and he really felt the meaning of the phrase "power comes from the barrel of a gun."Several people in Zhou Tong clearly reached a certain consensus. In the past few days, he began to inquire about his future plans. It also vaguely revealed that if the husband left his brothers in the future, whether it was not very righteous, Cao Chuan could I understand, and I am very satisfied with everyone's current attitude.

Of course, his purpose is not to be the king of the mountain. Right now, he just wants to draw a few people from Pingfengzhai to go to Hangzhou with him.Before that, it was hard to say, but if you say it, you are asking for help, and you can't do business on the pole.Now it is naturally different, the initiative is in hand, and everyone can sit down and talk about career and future together.

Hearing Zhou Tong's introduction to Taoist temples, Cao Chuan smiled and said: "The seniors in the door came out to travel and practice, some of them were incarnation shops, some were coachmen, and some were great merchants, but even those who were not Taoist priests, Taoist temples are also less popular, you Why? It's annoying to see you!"

Zhou Tong laughed: "Mr. straightforward! It turns out that all the seniors went down the mountain to experience, but the dealers and pawns did it, and I admire them."

Having said that, he glanced at Cao Chuan, and then asked inadvertently, "I don't know what your future plans are, sir, is there any place where the brothers can help?"

Cao Chuan knew that there would be such a question, he laughed, stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube handed over by Zhao Si next to him, and after drinking the mountain spring, Shi Shiran said: "I probably can't be a shopkeeper, these days are also not enough. After thinking about it, I always feel that I can't feel wronged. I still need to find a more prosperous place in the future, how about being a rich man?

Zhou Tong smiled wryly and shook his head: "Mr. at this age, it's the time when you should have made great achievements, and you have great supernatural powers. Where can you not make a piece of the country? What do the rich have to do, the emperor can do it. "

Zhou Tong said that he had sex for a while, which would feel a little inappropriate. He was thinking of saying something to remedy, when he heard Cao Chuan's voice, Shi Shiran, floating over the sliding pole: "The emperor can't do it, it's not in line with Taoism, one side Haoqiang is already at the top of his luck, let's talk about this later, let me think about it."

Zhou Tong nodded again and again, shouting back and forth, the team speeded up in vain, Cao Chuan looked back and forth on the sliding pole, and asked Zhao Si, "How long will it take to arrive?"

"Sir, there are still five miles."

This time, Pingfeng Village was really mobilized in full force. After watching the immortal demonstrate the magic weapon, Pingfeng Village took a few days to carry out the second mobilization, except for the one hundred or so people who went down the mountain in advance, not including the left-behind Lv Tent. Old and weak, today's large team has more than 180 people, which is already the entire capital of the village.

According to the plan of the Qingshitai Military Conference, the brigade set off at the fifth watch today, quickly walked the [-]-mile mountain road, rested in Hengtang Village early, recharged for the night, and dispatched all of them tomorrow morning to hit the front of Baizhuang in one breath. Broken village.

Forty miles down the mountain from Pingfeng Village is the official road, and the mountain pass is the small village Hengtang, which is regarded as the dispatched unit of Pingfeng Village.Along the east line of Hengtang, there are Baijiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, Lin'an County, and Hangzhou.

Baizhuang is less than [-] miles away from Hengtang. If the plan goes smoothly, the people from Pingfeng Village will be able to kill them in the afternoon, and they can squeeze in an afternoon to break down the village.

Cao Chuan had no opinion on the plan, he was only responsible for fire suppression.But today, he sat down with a slippery pole all the way, and he was glad that he didn't express his opinion.There are so many people in this mountain, and there are many things that he can't even consider. Today, the forty-mile mountain road alone takes most of the day, and he has to rest, drink water and eat dry food along the way.

Think about the situation in another world where the big brother sends a group letter, and the younger brothers come by taxi within 10 minutes, and then look at the calluses on the feet of these thin, short, and tough mountain people, Cao Chuan was full of emotion for a while
After four o'clock in the afternoon, I finally saw a circle of dirt on the side of the mountain road in the distance, and Hengtang arrived.

Chu Jianli brought people up to meet him from far away, and Cao Zhenren also slid down from the sliding pole with help.There was no way, my legs were numb, and it was a bit embarrassing. After that, everyone filed into the village.

There are only 21 or [-] households in Hengtang. From Cao Chuan's point of view, it is not much different from a poor mountain village in the [-]st century.There are rammed earth houses, bamboo shacks, black and thin children, and villagers with shabby clothes and bare feet.The only thing that interests him is the woman peeking out from behind the window.It's not that he's hungry, it's really the first time he's seen a woman since coming to the Ming Dynasty, so he still can't see her face clearly, but I also know that there won't be any beautiful women.

The village is not far from the official road. There is a pond outside the village, surrounded by a wall of rammed earth. Cao Chuan, surrounded by the crowd, and under the eager gazes of two rows of warriors along the road, came to the front of a large house in the middle of the village. Seeing that Zhou Tong was talking to a few old men, there were two bags of salt grains they picked up with the team at his feet.

Zhou Tong knew Cao Chuan's temper, and he didn't introduce Cao Chuan. He walked over and said, "The villagers have to contribute in these few days. Those are the elders of the clan, and they are all familiar with each other. The good salt brought by Mr. Bags, exchange some flesh and blood, and give the brothers a good meal today, and have the strength to fight tomorrow.
