Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 2 The Redeemer
In the evening, the sound of approaching footsteps, like the arrival of Shura, made the atmosphere in the prison tense again.

Everyone lowered their heads, as if thinking of something at the same time, each of them secretly tightened their chests and closed their buttocks.

Wen Renjun in the corner was not idle either, this time she learned a lesson, she stretched out her hand to smear some mud on the rock wall, and smeared it on Wen Renshu's face.

"Fourth sister offended, don't move."

Wen Renshu was disgusted in her heart, but she knew what was at stake, so she stiffened her body and let Wen Renjun smear it.

After Wen Renjun wiped it off, he wanted to use it on his face again, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, so he turned around and went into the dark river to clean his hands.

At this moment, the cell door opened, and that tall and heroic figure entered.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts jumped, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

But a big hand passed over them and directly pulled out Wen Renshu, who was covered in mud from the inside, so quickly that no one could react.

The wide sleeves wiped the mud-covered face, revealing the snow-white and beautiful face.

Dongyi Mountain Lord laughed out loud, as if he was a little complacent, and glanced at Wen Renjun who was stunned in the corner.

"Why should the orb be covered with dust, and how much can it cover?"

He laughed at her "plot" as if it had failed, and approached Wen Renshu as he spoke, Wen Renshu screamed uncontrollably, desperately trying to break free from that big hand, but was hugged even tighter.

Amidst the panic, Wen Renjun in the corner couldn't bear it any longer, and swished out.

"My lord, I, I haven't finished my "Shan Hai Jing" yesterday!"

Anyway, Tigers look down on her, so she is safe.

But in fact, the fierce tiger really looked down on her.

Lord Dongyi snorted, and pulled the pale-faced Wen Renshu to go outside, "Speaking so badly, who will be patient to listen?"

Wen Renjun didn't have the slightest sense of being slapped in the face, and rushed forward persistently: "Then I will also talk about "Legend of the Immortals", "The Story of Ten Continents", "Book of Yi Zhou", "Xiaoyaoyou"..."

Dongyi Shanjun waved his hand: "Go away, stop talking about this nonsense, and leave it to the sage to listen to."

The thin man also came up to help hold Wen Renjun back: "Hey little girl, why are you so thick-skinned, you are addicted to being with our boss, don't you, don't pester you wishful thinking, don't you see that our boss looks down on you?"

Wen Renjun didn't give up, his small body burst out with astonishing strength, and continued to pounce on Dongyi Mountain Monarch, "Then, then I can cook, plant flowers, sew clothes... I can do everything!"

She was dragged to the ground, rushed to the prison door like a rock, hugged Dongyi Tiger's thigh, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I can play chess!"

At this moment, Dongyi Mountain Lord finally stopped. He lowered his head and looked at Wen Renjun strangely: "Do you know how to play chess?" Then he added: "How is it going?"

Wen Renjun raised his head at his feet, and before he could speak, Sun Mengyin behind him rushed to say: "It's a great job, the female disciples in the entire Zhuxiu Academy can't compare to her, and our female teachers are willing to bow down!" , saying that she is the capital city with the best chess skills, and the child prodigy is born again!"

This is probably the first time that Sun Mengyin has praised Renjun like this, and even boasted so disgustingly, but Wen Renjun can't care about so much anymore, because Dongyishan Lord suddenly let go of Wen Renshu, and grabbed it. up her.

"Okay, it's you."

Wen Renjun was swept away like a thin willow by the gust of wind again. In the cell, Zhao Qinghe turned pale and looked at Sun Mengyin: "You, you are wrong."

Sun Mengyin was comforting Wen Renshu, who was still in shock, and turned her head to spit: "Hey, what's wrong, she's a concubine anyway, it's only natural to keep the real lady."

Zhao Qinghe's face became even paler, and he pointed at her tremblingly: "You, you..."

"What about me, you stutter and have the guts to yell at me?" Sun Mengyin glared at her fiercely: "Don't think that you will be able to stand up with that damn girl supporting you, you see she can do it this time." Can't come back and talk about it!"

The skinny man outside the door couldn't hear it anymore, he patted the cell door, and shouted angrily: "What are you arguing about, a bunch of blind, ignorant bitches! Let me tell you, our boss is a peerless handsome man. There is no one in Qingzhou who is more handsome than him, he is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see flowers, and birds will fall down when they see them, like that... Fat Crane, don’t you think so?”

The fat man on the opposite side nodded seriously: "The boss is a handsome man, the reincarnated Pan An."

The thin man slapped his thigh, and he was instantly in awe: "Yes, that's the word... Yes, you are becoming more and more knowledgeable."

The atmosphere in the cell became more solemn, and some people even choked up. The girls hugged their knees worriedly, and fear enveloped them again. Zhao Qinghe put his hands together and prayed secretly: "Ah Jun...you must be fine."

Wen Renjun returned to the cell early the next morning, carrying an exquisite food box as usual.

She was fully dressed and did not appear to be humiliated, but her whole body seemed extremely tired, with two circles of bruises under her eyes, she handed the food box to everyone, waved her hand, and leaned against the corner to rest.

Everyone gathered around to inquire about the situation, and she sighed: "Chess idiot, I met a chess idiot, who played all night and didn't let me sleep."

"I really can't tell... how is he playing chess?"

Wen Renjun recalled the battle situation last night, and sighed again: "The difference between cloud and mud."

Sun Mengyin in the crowd couldn't help but sneered: "I'm too boastful, without a trace of modesty." As if she wasn't the one who praised the rebirth of the child prodigy yesterday.

Some people took it for granted: "Mountain wild man, just come down to play, it's normal to be inferior to Ah Jun."

"No." Wen Renjun looked at the crowd, word by word: "I am mud, he is cloud."

After finishing speaking, there was a long silence in the cell, as strange as death.

This time he didn't even want to sigh anymore, Wen Renjun covered his face, feeling extremely ashamed: "23 games of chess, I didn't win any of them, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed Gong Xue."

The thin man outside the prison saw that the situation in the prison was not right, bumped his arm against the fat man, and asked, "What are they talking about, why can't I understand it, what are you talking about?"

The fat man was extremely calm, and he didn't even lift his eyelids: "I'm saying that the boss is very powerful."

The thin man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: "Of course the boss is amazing, the boss is the world's most handsome man with great powers and indomitable spirit..."

If at the beginning all the young ladies thought that Wen Renjun was exaggerating, then soon afterward, they all believed it, because Shengdu finally came to redeem someone, and they really saw what ruthless crushing is. .

The rules of redeeming people are very weird. It is said that Dongyi Mountain Lord made it himself. It is so weird that it seems to be deliberately making things difficult for people.

This time, a total of sixteen female princes were arrested in Zhuxiu Academy. They followed the academy's practice and traveled with their female Fu Sifang to study in early spring, but they did not expect to fall into the hands of the gangsters when they passed by Dongyi Mountain.

The female Fu was sent back to Shengdu with a message to ask the academy to redeem people. Sixteen female disciples had to be redeemed by sixteen male disciples. One male redeemed one female. For the ransom, go alone, and if the stipulated time limit is exceeded, no amount of money can be redeemed.

This matter has not been spread in Shengdu. They are all famous families with heads and faces. The reputation of the young ladies is more important than anything else. In order to preserve the reputation of loving daughters, the families have almost tacitly reached a unified tacit agreement, and they only act in secret , I hope to quietly redeem my daughter as soon as possible, and prevent the news of being robbed by mountain bandits from being publicized.

But it is not difficult to ask for money, but it is a bit of a headache to ask for "people".

If you want to redeem a female student, you must first find a male student who is willing to enter the tiger's den. If this is an ordinary school, it may not be a big problem, but this is Zhuxiu Academy, which is a palace school. Randomly picking out a male student will have a lot of background First of all, a group of royal relatives and relatives must be removed. It is impossible to let the son of the Tian family risk himself, and the rest is not easy to move.

Even if he can convince the male disciple himself, it is not easy to convince the family behind him. They are all noble sons in the palm of their hands. They all have a future in the future. Mountain of thieves?
Where are the sixteen male students invited here? It is clear that they want to use various relationships, but they are torturing sixteen aristocratic families!

As a result, the upper class in Shengdu began to work secretly, and the contacts they made on weekdays, or the deep friendship they had made for many years, came in handy at this time.

There was an undercurrent surging, even the relationship of "stealing people", the first male student had already brought the palace school jade card, and rushed to Qingzhou non-stop, arriving at the foot of Dongyi Mountain.

He is none other than Sun Zuoyang, son of Minister of War Sun Runing and Sun Mengyin's elder brother.

Sun Zuoyang always felt humiliated when he obeyed the bandits' words and went up to the mountain to redeem people. He was young and energetic, and he couldn't figure out why he had to swallow his anger and let a small bandit village manipulate him.

"What are you doing with so many tricks? Why don't you capture Dongyi Mountain in one fell swoop and rescue my sister and the others together?"

As soon as he said this, the scheming Minister of the Ministry of War shook his head, looked at his bloody son and sighed: "Zuo Yang, you are still too young."

He took a sip of tea, put down the cup, looked directly at Ai'er's puzzled eyes, and said slowly: "The Qingzhou area is not as simple as you think, it borders the Di clan."

Qingzhou is a place on the border of Daliang. The problem of banditry has been around for a long time, and the forces are intertwined. The imperial court has never really suppressed it for a hundred years.

One is that bandits are rampant and cannot be suppressed.

Second, it cannot be suppressed.

The first one can still be cured with a little hard work, but the second one is the key.

Qingzhou is the place where Daliang and the Di people meet. The Di people grew up among wolves, and they are extremely fierce. From time to time, they enter the city to disturb the people, burn, kill and loot, bringing endless suffering to the local people. The Qingzhou government is helpless.

And the people of the Di tribe have always been bloodthirsty and good at fighting. No one wants to mess with this mad wolf unless it is absolutely necessary, let alone the young saint in Daliang today, who is good at writing but not good at martial arts. The most common trick used by emperors throughout the ages——

checks and balances.

In other words, it is necessary to use fierce tigers to control evil wolves, to fight poison with poison, and to control fierceness with fierceness.

The government of Qingzhou did not dare to confront the Di people head-on, but the big and small bandit villages in Dongyi Mountain were different.

There was only one piece of pastry in total, but half of it was divided by the people of the Di people. How could they be reconciled? When it comes to fierceness, they are not wolves, but they are even more fierce than wolves!

In a sense, the local gangsters in Dongyi Mountain restrained the Di people from outside and kept Qingzhou in a balanced state for the time being. It's not too good, and it's not too bad. At least the current emperor doesn't want this bowl of water to be turbulent for the time being. , poured all over the place.

Especially after the eighteen bandit villages all surrendered to the legendary Dongyi Mountain Lord, this force became even bigger and more regular, and it seemed to be the best gun against the Di people. It's for peace of mind.

"Now do you understand? In addition to trying to preserve your sister's reputation, this meaning is deeper. Some things can't be touched, and even if you want to touch it, it's not up to you to take the lead. You don't care about anything. , bear with it for now, and bring him back safely."

Until he was blindfolded and taken all the way up the mountain by the bandits, Sun Zuoyang still kept echoing his father's words in his head.

He felt very aggrieved, even if he understood all the truth, he still felt aggrieved like never before.

This aggrieved feeling reached its peak when he saw the thinner sister in the cell and the timid figure next to her.

The cave is huge, and separated by a prison, the girls in the prison looked at Sun Zuoyang with tears in their eyes, while the Dongyi Mountain Monarch outside the prison leaned on his seat, looking lazy and dismissive, as if he did not put Sun Zuoyang in his eyes .

Sun Zuoyang was simmering with anger in his heart, and waited until the gangsters finished counting the ransom, then asked Dongyi Mountain Lord with a cold face: "Can I take someone away?"

The messy beard covered the entire face, only revealing a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, smiling like cat and mouse: "Of course...it can't be done."

Sun Zuoyang was instantly ignited: "What do you mean?"

But Dongyi Mountain Lord avoided answering, and changed the subject: "Speaking of Mr. Sun, which one of the palace schools do you learn best?"

Sun Zuoyang clenched his fists, holding back his words, and after a long time he said firmly: "Horseback hunting, swords, guns and sticks, anything can be done."

"It turns out that he is the son of a Lian family. It's no wonder that he is indeed the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War."

Lord Dongyi clapped his hands, "Bring it up."

Several bandits immediately brought a row of weapons forward, and they flashed them in front of Sun Zuoyang.

"Choose one, make gestures with me, and let me experience the style of Zhuxiu Academy."

Only then did Sun Zuoyang notice that in the huge cave, there are not only weapon racks prepared long ago, but also various desks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones at the back. I am afraid that he is good at poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and so on. The tiger will also immediately let people lift things up and "make gestures" with him.

This is really unheard of, not only Sun Zuoyang was stunned, but all the girls in the cell looked at each other, confused, only Sun Mengyin clung to the iron prison railing and shouted excitedly: "Brother, you Just compare with him, let him see how powerful you are, and kill the majesty of this stinking thief!"

The thin man at the prison door slammed the iron bars a few times: "Shut up, bitch, we'll see how your elder brother cries and begs for mercy later!"

In the arena, Sun Zuoyang had already picked up a long spear, his eyes turned around Sun Mengyin, and then imperceptibly fell on a thin and beautiful figure behind her.

Blood gradually surged in his chest, he withdrew his thousands of thoughts, and looked at Dongyi Mountain Lord coldly.

"Before I came, someone said that you are a gun that cannot be touched, and told me not to be troublesome, but since you are the tiger who proposed it, then I have to come and break it, please!"

Following the sound of drinking, Dongyi Mountain Lord also raised his lips and smiled, stood up and brought out a long sword lightly, and faced the long spear head-on, the two sides were on the verge of fighting.

Sun Zuoyang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and in this respect, he is a first-class palace student, and almost no one can surpass him. At the moment when he accepted the challenge, he thought that God had heard his heart and specially gave him a chance. Let him let out a bad breath.

But soon he knew that he was wrong.

It was probably a faster fight than everyone imagined, because before ten moves were made, there was a sound of metal impact, and the dancing long sword directly picked out the silver gun, filling the room While exclaiming, the silver gun was inserted into the ground with a "buzz", and after shaking it a few times, it stood firmly in front of everyone's eyes full of sarcasm.

In the next moment, the long sword rested on Sun Zuoyang's neck, with a very teasing and lazy look.

"You lost, Mr. Sun."

Sun Zuoyang was forced to half kneel on the ground due to the force on his shoulders, his handsome face turned pale.

Lord Dongyi looked down at him lazily from a high position, and there was a hint of coldness in his drawn-out laugh: "It's really a great Zhuxiu Academy."

He swayed his sword, and picked it at Sun Zuoyang's waist, a palace learning jade tablet flew into the air, and landed in his hand.

Startled, Sun Zuoyang raised his head and wanted to struggle, but was firmly suppressed by the long sword.

Dongyi Shanjun twirled the jade tablet with his fingertips, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Thanks to Mr. Sun, I have been taught today. The disciples of Zhuxiu Academy are very good, and the plaque is also very beautiful."

As he spoke, he fiddled with his hand again, looked at Sun Zuoyang with a smile, and said in a cold tone, "It would be great to use it as firewood, I guess Mr. Sun won't mind?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and threw it behind him, and threw it into the raging furnace without even looking at it.

All the girls in the prison exclaimed.

"you!"

Sun Zuoyang's veins were even more violent, his face was flushed and he was about to go to grab the jade tablet, but the long sword on his shoulder pressed him down, making it impossible for him to move.

The jade plaque was crackling in the furnace, like a humiliating slap in the face, it not only slapped Sun Zuoyang hard on the face, but also hit the hearts of all the disciples of Zhuxiu Academy.

Everyone in the cell was staring at the stove. There was already a girl biting her lips, with tears in her eyes.

In the whole cave, Dongyi Mountain Monarch was the only one who enjoyed it immensely. Hearing the sound of the jade tablet being devoured and melted, he let out a long breath, smiled, and retracted his long sword.

"Okay, the sign is left, let someone redeem it."

The thin man opened the cell door, and looked triumphantly at the pale Sun Mengyin: "How about it, I'm right, who is our boss, that's..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Mengyin had rushed out of the door a few steps, and threw himself into the arms of Sun Zuoyang who was coming forward.

"Brother, it's okay, I don't blame you, you must be too tired to come all the way to save me, so you didn't..."

Sun Zuoyang hugged his younger sister's hand tightly, and interrupted her: "Don't talk about it, you lose, you lose. There is no shame in being inferior to others. Let's go."

His voice was low, as if he had exhausted all his strength in the fight just now, and his whole body was covered with a gray shadow, which made all the young men in the prison feel heartbroken.

But Sun Mengyin seemed to think of something, and went back to the prison, hugged Wen Renshu, who was full of tears and was full of reluctance, "Shu'er, I'll go first, don't be afraid, your family will definitely come soon I have redeemed you, you have to take care of yourself..."

She leaned into Wen Renshu's ear and whispered: "Sacrifice your cheap younger sister if necessary, after all, you are the first lady of Wenren's mansion, and the most important thing, understand?"

The voice was so low that only Wen Renshu could hear her. She froze and didn't speak, but nodded, hugging Sun Mengyin and crying even more sadly.

All of a sudden, the other young ladies also came forward one after another to say goodbye, sobbing and sobbing, more worried about when they would be redeemed like Sun Mengyin, and leave this dark and dark place.

In the midst of grief and sorrow, Sun Zuoyang also entered the cell at some point. He looked around and found the girl who made him miss him in the outermost periphery.

Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, he walked forward imperceptibly, stopped gently beside the figure, bowed his head and said: "Junior Sister Qinghe, don't be afraid, I will definitely find a way to rescue you, just wait for me... "

The figure trembled and didn't look back, but the palms trembled slightly, thinking that he was hallucinating.

The words that rang in my ears were so fast that they were so fleeting, so fast that no one noticed it, and even the person who heard it couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until the Sun brothers and sisters left the cell that Zhao Qinghe had the courage to turn his head and stare at Sun Zuoyang's back, with a red nose, like a dazed little white rabbit.

She didn't know how long she looked at it, and suddenly pulled Wen Renjun beside her, her tone was in a trance: "Ah Jun, pinch me, it seems like I had a dream just now?"

Wen Renjun saw her staring at the direction where the Sun brothers and sisters disappeared, with straight eyes, and suspected that she was in a daze for a moment, so he couldn't help pressing her shoulders, feeling sad, and wanted to wake her up with great distress: "Qinghe, you Don't do this, we will be redeemed too, we will!"
