Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"It doesn't matter!" Luo Qiuze said with a smile: "Anyway, if you skin me now, it won't be long before the Tang people come to skin you, and it won't be too late for a few days!"

"Asshole, you dare to scare us with Tang people! I'm going to skin you now!" Pukuhe was furious and was about to step forward, but Cui Wu raised his hand: "Don't worry, I did hear something about it recently. I want to hear what he has to say about the news from the Tang Dynasty! Luo Qiuze, tell me your purpose of coming here today? "

"It's very simple. The great general of the Tang Dynasty has ousted King Jin Famin of Silla and replaced him with a puppet. Next, he will send troops to Liaodong to attack Qi Si Biyu, and this is where the Tang Dynasty's troops must pass. ." Luo Qiuze pointed at the bottom of his feet: "I came here today just to save my own skin, and by the way, I also want to save yours!"

"Are you so kind-hearted?" Pukuhe sneered: "We have fought with each other a lot in the past, and we have forged a lot of hatred!"

"You're right!" Luo Qiuze nodded: "I originally thought so too. If I could peel off your skin to save mine, I would definitely do it. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Tang people, you guys There is no difference between a bandit and me. He will take off your skin, and he will probably take off mine too, so I came to find you!"

There was a stir from the surrounding bandits, but no one protested this time. The reason was very simple. Each of them had personally experienced the virtues of the Tang army. The armies of Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo would burn, kill and loot, but they would not do it all at once. Move the entire village of people thousands of miles away. This may have been much more terrifying than burning, killing, and looting at the time. After all, the main purpose of the Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo armies was to expand their territory, and there was still a lower limit to the territory they could occupy.

"Then tell me your idea first?" Cui Wu asked.

"There are two ways. Either we voluntarily surrender to the Tang people from the beginning. Anyway, the Tang people may not like the poor mountains and rivers in this land. It's just that the army is passing by and we don't want our luggage to be attacked and looted. As long as we voluntarily surrender, the Tang people should also They won’t do anything to us!”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Cui Wu shook his head: "Not to mention what we will eat if we don't rob, there are more than just us begging for food in this mountain. Even if we don't rob, there will be others who will. People in the Tang Dynasty can't tell who is who. !”

"Yes, so there is another way!" Luo Qiuze said: "Everyone has made an alliance with blood and pretended to surrender to the Tang people. When they pass by, they will kill them without leaving a trace, so that they will never dare to come again!"

"Are you crazy? Even Silla and Goguryeo couldn't defeat the Tang people, but you dare to attack the Tang people!" Pukuhe was surprised.

"If it were flat ground, we would definitely not be opponents of the Tang people, but in this mountainous area, it would be different!" Luo Qiuze said: "Besides, as you just said, there is no way to prevent others from attacking the Tang people. When the time comes, the Tang people will retaliate. , and I can’t tell who did it, so instead of being implicated by others, it’s better to do it myself!”

After listening to Luo Qiuze's analysis, the bandits looked at each other in confusion, and no one spoke. After a while, someone nodded and said: "You are right, and this is the only way. Then why do you say that blood is used as an alliance?"

"Let's choose the place here! The time is only ten days! The more people, the better! Then, I'll bother you guys to worry more about it!" Luo Qiuze said with a smile.

"Okay, it's settled! Ten days later, it's still the same place, let's meet together!" If these bandits were still a little suspicious before, now that they heard that the blood alliance is here, all the original suspicions are gone. .

The two of them were strangely silent on the way back, and the cold wind blew past the roadside, making a rustling sound. After walking about ten miles, Gaosheji asked, "What's your plan? Why did you say you wanted to set up an ambush to attack the Tang people?"

"As you just saw, the bandits went their own way, and no one could control anyone. Moreover, when the army passed by in the spring of the following year, no one had any food left at home. No matter how good they promised now, they would be starving to death and robbing one another. Given the choice before them, what do you think they will choose? If the army is robbed, it will definitely be me who will be punished. Instead of causing trouble then, why not just attack now and clean up the situation and save trouble!"

"Start first? Do you want to attack these bandits?"

"Taking the opportunity of forming a blood alliance, kill all their leaders first. The snake will have no leader, and then it will be convenient!"

"Then why do you want to set up the gathering base there? Why not set it up in your mountain city?" Gao Sheji said anxiously: "This mountain is their territory. How can it be so easy to kill them all together?"

"You have also seen that these bandits are very wary. If I said that I would go to the city to make a blood alliance, I'm afraid not many people would come!" Luo Qiuze sighed helplessly: "We can only make alliances at the location. Put it in the mountains first so that more people can come!"

"What's the use of just having people here?" Gao Sheji asked: "On someone else's land, you can't ambush soldiers and horses at all. It's good if you don't get killed by someone else's plan. You still want to plot against others!"

"You don't have to worry about this!" Luo Qiuze showed a proud smile: "I have already made up my mind, so you don't have to worry, everything is at my disposal!"

----------------

Ten days later, the alliance meeting place.

The drums were pounding, pounding, pounding, making Gao Yannian dizzy. From the big stone beside him, the sounds of reed flutes, horns, and gayageum came simultaneously, but the most disturbing thing was the sound of the leather drum, which made his skin crawl all over. Miscellaneous tunes echoed at the meeting place, and the bandit leaders were eating, drinking, and making noises. Could it be that these guys are all deaf? How could they tolerate such bad music? They simply locked a few bears and wolves in cages, and the roars they made were so loud. It sounds better than this music. Gao Yannian drank the watered rice wine while looking coldly at the unkempt guys in the field.

There were many more people participating in the alliance than expected, and even exceeded the number of stools originally prepared, so some temporary wooden stakes and stones had to be brought in to replace them. Fortunately, the wine and food prepared were sufficient. Bandits who often fight each other for prey, territory and trophies huddle together. Since there are many people and few seats, many people will inevitably bump into their neighbors when raising their cups.

Gao Yannian sat between the two bandits. He was fed up with the smell of these two men, especially the one on the left, who was a complete drunkard - which was okay, there were few of these bandits who were not addicted to alcohol. But what this guy drank quickly emanated from his armpits. This terrible smell made Gao Yannian nauseous. He had to pinch his nose to prevent himself from being fainted.

The dishes on the table were extremely crude - in order to make a blood alliance, the bandits slaughtered a cow, a horse, three sheep and a pig. The internal organs, blood, meat and bones of these animals were not wasted at all. The cook prepared these The stuff was put together with a lot of radishes, dried vegetables, and mushrooms to make a big stew. Due to the lack of condiments and his cooking skills, Gao Yannian felt his stomach really churn after taking a few bites. Damn it, how could these guys eat so enthusiastically? He thought to himself.

Since he couldn't eat or drink, Gao Yannian could only look at his father at the "main table". He could see that Gao Sheji's expression was a little unnatural, but he still accepted the toasts from every bandit at the table. This must have been a terrible feeling.

"You eat very little!" the bandit on the left laughed, and the smell emanating from his mouth was even more terrifying.

Gao Yannian forced a smile and said, "I'm already full!" "That's all?" The bandit laughed and said, "No wonder you are so thin. Looking at your fair face, you must be a woman, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to touch Gao Yannian's face frivolously. Gao Yannian pushed his hand away angrily: "Of course I'm a man. I'm thin because I'm only fourteen years old!"

"Fourteen years old?" The bandit said with a smile: "I look different from you when I am fourteen years old! Don't be embarrassed, our brothers will take good care of you!" As he said that, he touched Gao Yannian's cheek with his right hand. It caused a roar of laughter from the bandits at the same table.

Gao Yannian could no longer endure the other party's teasing. He grabbed the bandit's right hand like lightning and twisted it in the opposite direction. With a shrill scream, the bandit fell to the ground and hugged his twisted right hand. My wrist was rolling on the ground in pain.

"I'm calling you a dog's claws!" Gao Yannian stood up, took two steps back, and cautiously held the handle of the knife at his waist. However, what surprised him was that the bandits at the same table did not rise up to attack him. Instead, they applauded Gao Yannian for his agility and laughed at the bandit who was rolling on the ground in pain.

"Good boy, good skills!"

"Hey, did you encounter a hard problem this time? You deserve it!"

"They are right, you are born with a dog's paw, how can a human hand be like this!"

Seeing everyone's performance, Gao Yannian also put away his guard. He walked to the bandit, squatted down and held his wrist with one hand and his palm with the other. He pulled and pushed hard. With a scream, the bandit dislocated. The right wrist returned to its original shape.

"You go back and get some herbal medicine to apply on it, then fix it with a splint, and rest for ten days or so!" Gao Yannian said coldly: "Remember this lesson, if it happens again next time, it won't be just one hand! "

The bandit did not dare to speak and ran away in a crawl. The bandits at the same table warmly invited Gao Yannian to come back.

"Good boy, I didn't realize that you are so innocent. Come on, come on, sit down and talk!"

"Yes, I just didn't see that guy's wrist clearly and it broke, and then I didn't see his wrist clearly and it healed again! Is this a good thing?"

"You are so young, where did you learn this skill?"

Facing the various smells coming towards his face, Gao Yannian subconsciously wanted to cover his nose. He stretched out his hand and put it away again. He smiled bitterly and said: "This is what my friend's teacher taught me. In fact, it's nothing. It's just a bit of cleverness. As long as you use it correctly, it’s not difficult!”

"My friend's teacher! It's difficult for those who don't know how to do it, but it's not difficult for those who can master it! To have such ability at such a young age is amazing, amazing!" A bearded bandit raised his thumb.

Gao Yannian was about to say a few words of humility when he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him. He turned around subconsciously and saw Luo Qiuze falling to the ground at some point. Gao Sheji held him in his arms. There was a look of horror on his face, and he was shouting something. He quickly pushed away the others and rushed to his father's side.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Come on, bring some plant ashes and some water!" Gaosheji shouted, "Someone has poisoned the food and drink!"

As if to confirm the cry of the chicken in the high house, another bandit at the same table suddenly covered his stomach, turned over and fell, shouting: "Wine, water, cough cough cough, water, I want water..." He His words were interrupted by a violent cough.

"Quickly, bring water!" There were shouts one after another from the table. More and more bandits turned pale. They covered their stomachs and rolled on the ground in pain, praying for something to quench their thirst. Many people began to vomit, more people were short of breath, their eyes were bulging, and their veins were exposed. Some people reached out to scratch their throats, and their fingernails dug bloody marks on their skin, but to no avail. Dogs barked, women howled, and people shouted meaningless suggestions to each other. Half of the people stood up, some pushed over to get a better look, and some slipped around.

"Bastard, someone poisoned the wine and food!" someone shouted.

"Yes, who, which bastard poisoned the drink?"

“Who provided the food and wine?”

"It's true that we provided wine and food, but our leader was the first to be poisoned and fell down. If we poisoned him, how could he be poisoned?" Gao Sheji replied loudly.

Accompanied by the shouting was the sound of swords being drawn out of their sheaths. This seemed to be a signal. More and more people drew their weapons and looked at the people around them fiercely. A few minutes ago, they drank together and made a blood alliance. Companions became mortal enemies.

Finally, the first scream sounded, and someone stabbed the neighbor's stomach with a dagger. It was like a spark falling on dry firewood soaked in fish oil, and scarlet flames suddenly jumped up. The bandits who were not poisoned brandished their weapons, stepped on the corpses on the ground and the living people who were about to become corpses, and fought with each other. Whenever someone fell, they saw swords rising and falling, tables being overturned, cups, wooden spoons, wine pots, random stews, and pottery bowls flying everywhere. Wine and blood mixed together and seeped into the soil of the venue.

Gao Yannian felt as if there was a fire burning on his back. He didn't know what to do. He looked at his father blankly, but found that Gao Sheji was surprisingly calm.

"I'll hold on to Uncle Luo, you open the way, let's get out!" Gao Sheji shouted loudly. He easily helped Luo Qiuze up from the ground, put his arm on his shoulder, and put one on his shoulder. He put his hand around the other person's waist and pulled out a knife with one hand. Gao Yannian quickly pulled out the steel knife and rushed in front of the two of them to clear the way.

Happy Christmas Eve to everyone.

By the way, I beg for votes, subscriptions, and rewards. I haven’t recommended it for several months. It’s really miserable!
