Chapter 44 0042 [Songshan Ridge]

The strong man left the Xu family mansion and walked quickly towards the east gate.

I saw three figures rushing out from the alley, gathering around him.

The four of them hurried out of the city gate without saying a word.

After walking along the Huangtu Road for a while, one of them asked, "Third brother, what did the girl from the Xu family say?"

It turned out that this strong man's name was Sun Zhi, and because of his courage and strategy, he now holds the third place in Montenegro.

He is the number one general under Li Tianwang.

Sun Zhi replied: "Give us [-]%."

"Only sixty percent?"

A bald man said angrily: "Third brother, now that Mr. Xu is dead, according to me, we should get [-]%."

Sun Zhi shook his head and laughed: "That's impossible, the rabbit bites even when it's in a hurry, and they have a handle on us."

"How dare this little girl threaten us."

The bald head glanced back at the direction of the county seat, and said in a harsh tone: "Third Brother, why don't you enter the county seat and destroy the Xu family."

Hearing this, Sun Zhi said helplessly: "You scumbag, use your brain more on weekdays, don't just fight and kill. The Xu family is still useful to keep. After all, they have been partners for so many years and know each other well. If you change the family rashly, the risk is too great."

The bald head scratched his head: "But this little girl is really hateful, she only pays [-]%."

Sun Zhi didn't bother to explain any more, and asked, "Is there a mountain near here?"

"Have."

A dark-faced man said: "There is a cottage in Songshan Ridge, the head of the village is called Shi Bao, and he has some friendship with me."

"Go to Songshan Ridge!"

After Sun Zhi finished speaking, he opened his mouth and raised his tongue.

I saw a flat whistle hidden under the tongue, gently stirred it twice, and then sucked the whistle.

huh~
With the sound of a weird whistle, four horses emerged from the distant forest and galloped towards them.

The four got on their horses and ran towards Songshan Ridge.

……

……

Songshan Ridge is located in the southeast of the county. It consists of five continuous peaks. At the foot of the mountain is the official road.

On the highest mountain in the middle, there is a cottage halfway up the mountain.

The location of this cottage is extremely dangerous, only a rocky path can pass through, which is a typical example of easy defense but difficult attack.

The farmland in the cottage is criss-crossed. Looking around, you can see many farmers working in the fields.

These farmers are all fleeing from the mountains, and now they are recruited by bandits to help them cultivate the fields. Although their lives are equally difficult, they can still have a bite to eat, and they don't have to worry about being infested by wild animals.

That Shibao was a hunter in his early years, but because he couldn't stand the exorbitant taxes and the insult of the petty official, he killed the petty official in a rage and went up the mountain to become a bandit.

Because of his boldness and kung fu with guns and sticks, he quickly gathered a group of bandits who fled the house and took over the mountain as king.

Due to the frequent looting of official roads, the county town once suppressed it once a few years ago.

It's just that the terrain of the cottage is too dangerous, and finally returned without success.

After successfully resisting a siege by officers and soldiers, Shi Bao became more rampant, constantly absorbing escapees from the surrounding mountains.

Up to now, there are thousands of people in the cottage.

At this time, in a big house deep in the village, Shi Bao opened his clothes and sat reclined on a wide chair to eat wine.

After taking a sip of wine, he asked loudly, "What do those Qiu Ba say?"

The bandit below said indignantly: "The master, those gang of bandits with the army will think about it."

Hearing this, a bearded man sitting under Shi Bao said angrily, "I've been thinking about it for so many days, I think it's just to play tricks on us."

This person is the second head of the cottage, his real name is Niu Shun, because he worshiped the martial saint Guan Yu, he changed his name to Niu Yu.

Shi Bao didn't speak, his expression was uncertain.

Last month, a group of deserters came to Songshanling.

There were not many people, only a dozen of them, but they were extremely sturdy, and each had a war horse.

You can tell it's a frontier army at a glance.

Facing this group of fleeing troops, Shi Bao was extremely greedy, if he could win him over to the cottage, his fighting power would definitely increase greatly.

But in the face of his solicitation, this group of deserters declined repeatedly.

By now, Shi Bao has come to realize that people look down on him and feel that following him is a disgrace.

After pondering for a moment, he turned his head and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

The one called Mr. is a thin, middle-aged man with a light beard on his chin.

His surname was Zhang, and he used to be a storyteller in Qiancheng County. Later, he offended a big family in the county because of his outspokenness.

I couldn't get along in Qiancheng County, so I planned to come to Zi County to ask for a meal.

Unexpectedly, he was robbed on the official road, Shi Bao saw that he could speak well and could write some characters, so he was overjoyed to recruit him as an aide.

Help him make suggestions, and tell stories on weekdays to relieve boredom.

Shi Bao likes to hear him talk about Romance of the Three Kingdoms the most, and he never tires of listening to it. He often calls himself Liu Xuande.

Mr. Zhang shook the feather fan in his hand, stroked his beard and said, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

"Sir is right!"

Niu Yu agreed, and then said loudly: "Brother, I'm afraid that gang of thieves and soldiers don't have good intentions, why don't I take someone to kill them."

Shi Bao waved his hand: "Don't be reckless. Although the group of eight Qius are small, they are extremely powerful, and each of them has a horse, and they come and go like flying."

He didn't care about the death of some of his subordinates, what he envied were the dozen or so well-trained war horses.

If the group of Qiu Ba ran away on horseback, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket.

"I have a plan!"

At this moment, Mr. Zhang suddenly spoke.

Shi Bao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's your plan, sir?"

Mr. Zhang shook his feather fan lightly, with a small smile on his lips.

This posture is obviously imitating Zhuge Wuhou, but his horse face is not at all elegant, but a bit wretched.

He said confidently: "The master just needs to imitate Xiang Yu's story and hold a banquet at the Hongmen, and when those Qiuba are drunk, they can take it down in one fell swoop. At the same time, send another master to lead dozens of brothers to go down the mountain to ambush near their residence, so that those war horses have also become the possession of the master."

After hearing his plan, Shi Bao was overjoyed and said, "Wow! Mr. Zhuge Kongming is indeed alive."

"It's just mere qiuba, it will be wiped out in the blink of an eye." Mr. Zhang smiled lightly.

Restraining his smile, Shi Bao asked again: "I don't know what reason to look for?"

Mr. Zhang pondered and said: "If I remember correctly, the young master will give birth to his son in a few days. The elder master can use this excuse to hold a grand banquet and invite those Qiu Ba to go up the mountain to the banquet."

"it is good!"

Shi Bao slapped his thigh, feeling that this scheme was perfect.

"Report!"

Just at this moment, a bandit entered the hall and reported: "Da Dangjia, a few people came from outside the mountain gate, one of them is Wei Baozi, who claimed to be an old acquaintance with Dadangjia."

Wei Leopard?
Shi Bao thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Didn't he go to Montenegro to vote for Li Tianwang? Why did he come here?"

Mr. Zhang said: "I think it's because I want to be the head of the family."

Although Songshan Ridge is hundreds of miles away from Black Mountain, Li Tianwang still has to give him face.

Thinking of this, Shi Bao ordered: "Lead them in."

After a while, the four of Sun Zhi entered the hall.

Wei Baozi cupped his hands and said, "How is Master Shi?"

Shi Bao laughed loudly and said, "Thanks to my brother, I'm doing just fine. I don't know what wind brought Brother Wei here?"

"There is a small matter, I would like to ask Mr. Shi for help."

After Wei Baozi finished speaking, he introduced: "This is the third head of our Montenegro."

Montenegro's third master?
Surprised, everyone looked at Sun Zhi in unison.

Sun Zhi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Shi has long admired his name."

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Shi Bao asked anxiously, "I don't know what's the matter with the third master?"

"A certain family has an enemy named Han Er, who used to be a rogue in Linzi County, but now hides in the mountains, and wants Master Shi to help kill him."

Hearing that he helped kill a rogue, Shi Bao let go of the stone in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, why bother the third master to come to the door in person, I'll tell my brothers."

Sun Zhi said with satisfaction: "Thank you so much, a certain family Chengshi is a favor."
