Devil’s Advent

The next day's lunch was indeed eaten at Sun Lianren's place. Of course, it was only eaten by Zheng Fan and Sun Lianren, because Si Niang was next to him, and he could help Zheng Fan test the poison with silver thread, but despite this, Uncle Zheng ate it well. Not much, just to make sense of it.

Sun Lianren was indeed very enthusiastic, and even took the initiative to let his concubine come out to take a nap with Uncle Zheng.

Uncle Zheng refused and continued on the road.

From what we saw and heard along the way, we can clearly see the penetration and control of the Fan family in the area from Lianhe to Mengshan.

If you dare to smuggle, you must have an official background, otherwise you will be caught and beheaded sooner or later.

Here, from the boatman to the water fortress and then to the corporal commanders, commanders, centurion commanders, and guards of the various fortresses, they basically stood on the Fan family's smuggling chain to share a share.

Those who share the same mother with you may not be as close as brothers;

But those that are related to your interests are often able to "follow each other with sincerity".

Ridiculous, yet realistic,

Uncle Zheng, as the commander-in-chief and earl of the Yan State, actually brought a troop of soldiers and horses, and was honored as a guest of honor in the territory of the Chu State.

On the next road, I walked for another two days. Because of the rugged mountain roads, it was impossible to gallop on horseback in many places, so the marching speed could not be fast.

Zheng Fan also thought about the issue of sending troops from here, but he just thought about it, just like why the Savage King insisted on the Xueguan instead of going the way of Shengle City?

It is possible to walk, but the various guarantees and efficiency of logistical supplies required by the army for combat doomed this road to be impossible to be selected as the main direction of attack.

Even Zheng Fan, a thousand people marching together sometimes seems a bit difficult, let alone more soldiers and horses, the main force comes, and nothing else, once the Chu people pinch you with an elite soldier in the front, they can directly kill your entire body. The army is stuck, making you unable to advance or retreat.

"Uncle, after passing Mengshan, you can go to Xiayong, and my Fan family is in Xiayong."

"What you mean by that is that you want Ben to visit Fan's house?"

"Since the uncle is here, how can I not entertain him? My Patriarch has already greeted him."

"hehe."

This Fan family is quite courageous. If it were an ordinary family of big merchants, it might be okay to flatter the scene a little bit, but it is impossible to have such an attitude with this kind of capital without a little courage.

Maybe from the perspective of Chu people, this kind of Chu traitor is a heinous crime, but from Zheng Fan's perspective, the Fan family is quite cute.

Such an interesting "dog", if you don't reward it with some bones, you will be a little embarrassed, and you will even be embarrassed to gnaw off the meat on the bones, so you have to give it more.

Tonight's campsite is in a horse farm, yes, a horse farm in the mountains.

Here is a depression between two mountains, a rare plain in the mountains, and there are not many horses in the racecourse, because this is a transit point of Fanjiashang Road in the Mengshan area, so it will be much more convenient to have this racecourse.

Although there were some members of the Fan family here, the Xueguan soldiers under Zheng Fan's command still camped under the command of Jin Shuke as they did a few days ago.

Surveillance around the perimeter, guarding tents in all directions, all done in a very orderly manner.

Zheng Fan was still sitting in the tent, and Siniang was serving noodles.

In this situation, there is quite a feeling that later generations of men go home and lie down on the sofa, and their daughter-in-law is busy cooking.

The experience of entering Chu in the past few days is indeed much different than originally imagined, but after entering the Xiayong land and visiting the Fan family, the next step is to officially leave the rough and rough environment, and you can gallop on horseback.

Ah Ming lifted the curtain and walked in.

He was yawning like a drug addict, and his spirits were very listless.

"My lord, San'er sent someone over to convey a message, saying that there is no sign of Chu army mobilization in Xiayong."

Zheng Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Si Niang looked at A Ming and said, "I gave you some blood at the racecourse, wait for the master to eat noodles later, do you want me to feed you?"

A Ming let out a "heh\

,"Just about to speak,

Suddenly,

He and Si Niang stared at each other at the same time,

at the same time,

The magic pill in Zheng Fan's chest also trembled suddenly.

"Buzz!"

"Lord, be careful!"

Si Niang spread out her hands, and the silk threads quickly stretched out to the top of the tent. At this moment, a huge arrow shot through the tent and came directly down.

Si Niang's silk thread did get stuck in the bed crossbow arrow that was supposed to be used when defending the city at the first time, but the arrow was actually wrapped with something. The thing cut open, and what followed was a splash of fishy liquid.

"Fire oil!"

Zheng Fan immediately shouted: "Back!"

immediately,

Zheng Fan kicked his legs on the ground, and the magic pill on his chest also exerted force at this time, and the father and son slammed back together.

The tent was not strong, and it was knocked open by Zheng Fan and rolled out.

Over there, A Ming did not hesitate to put his back in front of Si Niang, and Si Niang cut off the connection between the upper silk thread and himself, and began to back quickly.

"boom!"

The kerosene ignited directly when it met the charcoal fire in the tent, and the whole tent was instantly ignited.

As for Zheng Fan, fortunately, Si Niang blocked the arrow with an early warning, and at the same time, with the help of the magic pill, he left the "field of fire" in advance.

Siniang also escaped under the protection of A Ming. Siniang was fine, but the clothes on A Ming's back were already burning.

After coming out, A Ming immediately put his back on the ground and frantically dawdled to extinguish the flames on his body.

After extinguishing,

Ah Ming lay helpless on the ground,

Because he prefers to be shot by arrows than this kind of burn.

How easy it is to take the arrows, pull them out, one, two, three, four jingle;

But for this burn, I have to ask Si Niang to help clean out the sand, dust and clothes debris embedded in the back wound, otherwise, after the flesh grows well, my body will become a sandwich cake.

Oh, this is an absolutely horrible experience.

"There are assassins!"

"Protect Uncle!"

"Protect Uncle!"

A group of soldiers rushed over immediately, and Zheng Fan just got up, and was immediately protected by his own soldiers on the third floor.

The soldiers on the periphery quickly formed formations and headed out, with swords in the front row and crossbows in the back row with bows and arrows.

The Fan family on the other side of the racecourse was also disturbed by the noise. They came over immediately under the leadership of Fan Yongxin, but were directly stopped by the surrounding soldiers.

And here,

Si Niang scolded first:

"That trash Xue San!"

immediately,

Gritting his silver teeth,

look up,

The body leaped forward, and the whole person was actually directly attached to the cliff, and the whole person quickly climbed up by using the silk threads released from the whole body to wrap around the corners.

It is clear,

The previous bed crossbow came from a cliff!

At the same time, two people emerged from among the soldiers and followed Siniang up the cliff like spiders. They were from Tianji Pavilion.

After taking refuge in Zheng Fan, the old man of Tianji Pavilion, Zeng Shulang, led his subordinates to be in charge of the defense construction of Xuehai Customs and at the same time carried out the transformation of the siege equipment. , this time entered Chu with Zheng Fan's team.

The only one left was Zeng Shulang himself, who didn't follow.

Jin Shuke's response was a little slower than Siniang's. After all, he had to call in the sergeants, but he quickly assigned the task.

"You protect uncle, Brother Ke Yandong, you take people to the west side, and the rest follow me to the east side, the assassin is on the mountain!"

soon,

The soldiers below immediately divided into three parts,

Five hundred people stayed behind to protect Zheng Fan and be vigilant against Fan's family.

The rest were divided into two groups, led by Jin Shuke and Ke Yandong respectively, to surround and climb up the mountain from both sides.

for a while,

The voice of the armor is solemn.

...

"Niuzi, hurry up, we don't want this bed crossbow."

"Village Master, why don't you want it, this is the treasure in our village, how can you not want it, no, I have to take it back!"

"Fart, let me go, if you don't go, you won't be able to go!"

"Don't go, don't go, this bed crossbow is more attractive to me than my mother-in-law, I don't want to go, village master, take a look, is the Yangou official dead, is he dead? It should be dead, right? I guess it's almost cooked by now."

"Villager, it's not good, there is a swallow dog rushing up on the mountain road on the west side."

"Village Master, Yangou is also coming on the mountain road on the east side!"

The man known as the village master has a strong physique. Even in winter, he still only wears a strapless leather. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he immediately shouted at the subordinates who used the bed crossbow:

"Niuzi, let's go, I don't need anything, otherwise everyone will die here!"

The skinny man called Niuzi also nodded immediately, stopped picking up the bed crossbow, and said instead:

"Mother, Yangou came so fast."

Everyone did not go down the mountain from the east and west sides, but chose to continue up the mountain. The biggest feature of Mengshan here is that the mountains are connected to each other. If you can't go down this mountain, it's the same if you go down the opposite mountain.

However, just a few steps up the crowd, they suddenly heard a scream.

The village owner looked back and found that Niu Zi, who was walking at the end, was clutching his neck.

When a brother next to him wanted to reach out to grab Niuzi, he was shocked to find that Niuzi's head had left his neck and floated away.

This scene was too horrifying, because the big guys didn't see clearly how it happened.

Immediately afterwards, Si Niang's figure appeared. She had just climbed up and was obviously panting, but Si Niang's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"A man who dares to touch my wife!"

As soon as the words fell, two more silk threads shot out, piercing directly into the bodies of the two bandits in front. They didn't have armor at all, so it was very easy for the silk threads to enter.

"ah!"

"ah!"

The two bandits immediately screamed.

Immediately afterwards,

The two puppets climbed out from the wall and jumped forward without hesitation after landing, like two cheetahs.

The owner of the village is hard-hearted,

Lifting the knife, he jumped down and chopped at Siniang.

Si Niang didn't evade, and now he is following Zheng Fan, and the tide is rising. How can it be possible that he can't beat a bandit leader with his sixth-rank strength plus her demon king's experience and ability?

"Shua! Shua! Shua!"

for a while,

A series of silk threads are densely integrated in front of it.

The village owner's knife sank when he cut it down, and his strength was lost. When the village owner wanted to draw the knife, he found that he couldn't pull it out at all.

Fortunately, the village owner was quite decisive, immediately dropped the knife, and quickly retreated, avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the follow-up silk thread.

After the two guardians of Tianji Pavilion tortured and killed the two bandits with puppets, they rushed to the next target without hesitation.

There were less than twenty of these bandits in total, and they didn't light up the lights in order to hide before, so under the black light and blind fire, Siniang and two Tianji Pavilion guardians rushed in this way, and they were so scared that they lost their rules and left People began to run wildly.

But because of this delay, they were not able to run up the mountain immediately, and were blocked by Xueguan soldiers rushing from the mountain roads on the east and west sides.

Where are these bandits, these elite opponents who have been on the battlefield?

What's more, the number of people is still at an absolute disadvantage, and they were immediately cut down. If it weren't for Jin Shu, who could keep alive, there might not be a single one left.

And after the village master managed to escape Siniang's attack, he was held up by two soldiers with knives before he could take a few steps. Pressing it to the ground no matter how much it struggled, it was useless.

Since then,

Except for three or four of the assassins who were captured alive, the rest were all shot to death.

Siniang walked in front of the village owner, her eyes were full of murderous intent.

These two years,

Siniang seldom went to the front to fight, and most of the time she stayed behind to take care of money and food matters, but this did not mean that Siniang's temper had been smoothed out.

The devil is the devil after all, how could the domineering thoughts in my heart just go away?

Jin Shuke was obviously a little afraid of Si Niang at this time. After all, even if you don't look at Si Niang's strength, even if you look at the fact that she is the person next to the uncle's pillow and the identity of everyone's mistress, Jin Shu would not dare Disrespect to Si Niang;

But at this time, he still bit the bullet and reminded:

"Mr. Feng, should I leave it to the uncle for interrogation?"

Si Niang heard the words,

The sharpness in the eyes gradually faded away,

Nod slowly.

Beside Siniang, two guardians of Tianji Pavilion raised their heads. They were also wearing Xuehaiguan armor. They were no different from ordinary armored soldiers on weekdays, but at this time, they stood on the ground like two spiders. At first, his face was covered with blood, but he was still smiling flatteringly at Siniang.

...

"So, it was a group of bandits who attacked me?"

Faced with this result, Zheng Fan was a little surprised.

Si Niang, who had just finished interrogating the bandit, replied:

"Yes, my lord, the subordinate used torture. What he said should be true."

Zheng Fan knew the way the devil used torture to torture people.

Siniang added: "There is no collusion with other forces. They are pure. They know that you are from Yan, so they want to assassinate you."

"So pure?"

"If there is no accident, they should be so pure. They are bandits from Xuanfeng Village, and their nest is in Mount Meng. They should have seen our team a few days ago."

"Oh, it's interesting."

Zheng Fan shook his head. He originally thought that a certain force had attacked him. It might be from Chu State, or from Qian State. Even if he guessed a bit darker, it was not impossible that it was from Yan State.

But suddenly things became so clean, it was really uncomfortable.

A Ming, who was sitting next to Zheng Fan, spoke at this moment:

"Hey, Si Niang, can you help me with the wound on my back? It's really painful for me to control the wound not to heal now."

The wound has not been cleaned, so it has to be controlled from healing, which means that the injury has been maintained, and naturally it has to bear the pain.

And if it recovers, it will be more sour to clean up the skin later, so Ah Ming would rather bear it now.

"Si Niang, help Ah Ming with his wound, I'll go and see the assassin."

"Yes, my lord."

When Zheng Fan walked out of the tent, the sky was already bright.

Fan Yongxin asked to see him several times, but Zheng Fan refused, and even made up for it when Siniang was interrogating the prisoner.

possible,

I have really experienced a lot of battles,

I've also experienced it, right?

After all, I didn't die,

It was Ah Ming who was injured again.

So there is no disturbance in my heart, and I can fall asleep quickly.

so,

At this moment, it is already noon.

Because of the assassination last night, the security around the camp was very high, and the Fan family did not allow anyone to approach, and anyone who violated it would be killed directly.

Zheng Fan walked into the tent where the bandit leader was imprisoned,

Before I walked in, I could already see the blood stains on the tent from the outside.

After walking in, he found that the bandit village master was already lying there bloody and bloody.

In fact, the village owner is also pitiful.

When Si Niang just interrogated him,

In fact, what he said early in the morning was that "one who is wronged, one who owes money, one who has a master, one who does things, and one who is a real man, whether he can change his name or sit or change his surname." This was done by Lao Tzu, and no one else instructed him.

Then,

Siniang didn't believe it, tortured, tortured, tortured, tortured, tortured...

at last,

See there is no second answer,

The village owner was so tortured that he couldn't bear it and began to call out Grandma Feng Siniang,

Only then did Siniang confirm that the first answer he gave earlier was the real answer.

at this time,

Seeing Zheng Fan come in,

The village master opened his eyes weakly, glanced at Zheng Fan, and seemed to have guessed Zheng Fan's identity, and since Si Niang was not there, he became a little bit stiffer, pulled the corner of his mouth, and with difficulty revealed a " Disdainful" look.

"Why did you kill me?"

"Kill... Yangou."

"Presumptuous!" Jin Shu Ke, who followed Zheng Fan in, scolded.

Zheng Fan raised his hand to stop Jin Shuke, nodded, and said:

"It's still a man."

It's been a while since I entered Chu, but I didn't expect that the first crisis was brought to me by this bandit.

"How about it." Zheng Fan smiled and said, "I'll give you a happy one?"

Apparently, the village owner of Xuanfeng Village had been tortured by Siniang's methods before, but when he heard Zheng Fan's words, he had a look of relief on his face.

even,

He also said softly:

"Accept... your love."

"You're welcome."

Zheng Fan said to Jin Shuke: "Go ask the people over there at the racecourse for some wine to feed him, and then send him on his way."

"Yes, uncle."

After giving these orders,

Zheng Fan walked out of the tent, the smell of blood disappeared from his nose, and he couldn't help stretching.

At this time, Fan Yongxin shouted from the outside: "Uncle, Uncle..."

Zheng Fan waved his hand to signal the soldiers in front to let him go.

Fan Yongxin came over with two Fan family members, and immediately said:

"Uncle, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, uncle was shocked last night, the villain deserves death."

"it's okay no problem."

Since this matter has nothing to do with the Fan family, Zheng Fan didn't bother to pursue it any further. After all, the Fan family's performance along the way was very good.

"But don't worry, Uncle. This morning, the guards of the previous fortresses have dispatched troops to encircle and suppress Xuanfeng Village. The news just came that from top to bottom of Xuanfeng Village, including the old and weak, women and children, there are no chickens or dogs left. Please, uncle, calm down, calm down."

Zheng Fan heard the words,

He reached out and patted Fan Yongxin's shoulder,

Fan Yongxin was flattered and squatted down a little bit.

Zheng Fan turned around,

Glancing at the blood-stained tent;

"Ah."
