Chapter 18 Starry Night

()

When a large group of people arrived, Zhuo Bufan was not surprised that the soldiers led by the four kings could quickly get the military and horses. His combat power was not enough except for bow and arrow skills. However, if you want to cheat and cheat these military and horses, it would be really not the Zhuo family army.

The old man Yanli was unconscious, but he still had to make wine and food. Fortunately, the Yan family was well-off and had enough food. As for the sake of wine and meat, there was a shortage of wine and meat, so they could only help. They wanted to pay some money from the people. However, after the people were exploited for a long time, even if they could have surplus grain, they could not afford wine and meat. As for cattle, sheep and livestock, even if they were stored in the villagers' homes, most of them were rented by the private property of these rich gentry.

The big pot of slaughtered cattle and sheep was very hot, and the hungry soldiers and gangsters who had been on the road all day quickly got to eat and drink. In the clean hall, Li Weisheng was still sleeping soundly.

Yan Shoucai was carried back to the back hall for treatment. The gentry was busy rewarding the army. Zhuo Er and the four heavenly kings came in to meet each other, and Zhuo Bufan still had some serious things to do.

"I said Mr. Li," Zhuo Bufan said kindly to Li Weisheng who was sleeping soundly: "No need to pretend, I have drunk more flower wine than you drink."

Sure enough, Li Weisheng, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and felt no sense of alcohol.

"What a boy, don't be so vulgar, okay?" Li Weisheng's attitude changed significantly. I believe that everything Zhuo Bufan did for him just now was heard.

"Damn it, aren't the Confucius and Mencius you mentioned false Taoism? I just felt that it was quite suitable for my appetite, but I didn't expect you to be gentle now." Zhuo Bufan said disapprovingly.

"Oh, that's because they are polite for the sake of etiquette, which is hypocritical and artificial. I am cultivation, from the inside out, and how can I speak in the same way?" Li Weisheng stood up, bounced the ash on his body, and said seriously.

Zhuo Bufan almost laughed, well, this kid started to brag, okay, you have some real insights, let’s talk about some serious matters first.

"Mr. Li, you said you have been in this area for many years. Do you know about Sanhezi?" Zhuo Bufan didn't look for others. Li Weisheng seemed to have done some business. Such businessmen who traveled around the countryside were much more informative than ordinary people who faced the loess every day. What's more, he was such a special guy.

"Yes, that is the main transportation route connecting the north and south. Because it is a rare flat and gentle water network area, it is difficult to defend against. Those Tartars should have to return from there, but why did the Tartars come from the east? Aren't there Haishan Pass and Dahua Army?" Li Weisheng asked strangely.

Zhuo Bufan opened his mouth, but did not say it clearly. Although he valued Li Weisheng quite much, it would be better to talk less about this matter. He didn't know how to handle the job after he went back.

"So, can you pass through Beishan? As far as I know, you can cross this mountain range and reach Sanhezi. The Tartars may have to go around for a day. In this way, our army can stop the Tartars."

"Huh? How did you know so clearly?" Li Weisheng was a little surprised. He had been wandering in this area for many years before he knew a little. However, the general seemed to know it in his heart. He was very strange. He paused and continued: "The mountain that cannot be climbed is the Yanshan Mountains. Although there are many steep places, I heard that there are paths passing by, but it is probably not possible to march."

"That's great. As long as you can pass, you can do it. Does Mr. Li know who knows how to pass here?"

"Well, there is really a man, nicknamed Shi Tou, who is not old, but he often travels between the north and the south. Sometimes, I also ask him to bring some light objects to the outside world, but I don't know if he has not yet." After being plundered and burned by the Tartars outside, who knows if this person is suffering?

Zhuo Bufan was overjoyed and quickly ordered Xing Tianhu to send people to search for the stones. At this time, it was not early, and even if he found this guide, he would probably have to travel overnight. Although he had never experienced it, Zhuo Bufan could still imagine that in this ancient times, thousands of people were walking on the dangerous mountain roads. However, success or failure was a turn for this, and he had to leave without leaving.

The troops of Xing Tianhu, who had the strongest combat power, have now become Zhuo Bufan's personal guards, guarding near Yan Laocai's house. The more than 500 Zhuo family troops who had eaten and drank first were immediately scattered into the village to find this stone. It was easy to do things, and soon, news came.

The stone came, but it was buzzed. The most overwhelming thing was that it was still a dirty rag that was made from somewhere. The stone looked like a teenager with a small buzz cut with a scalp exposed. It looked like Zhuo Bufan's predecessors. Zhuo Bufan didn't say anything, and Li Weisheng hurried over and was very angry. It seemed that he had a good relationship with this young man. Li Weisheng carefully took out the rag from Shi To's mouth, and then, there were screams and scoldings with strong local characteristics in the room.

This kid is like Li Weisheng. He is not timid when he sees the soldiers who are wearing swords and swords. However, unlike Li Weisheng, he is obviously a stubborn temper brought by his mother's womb. He is born to be fearless and not afraid, and is completely different from others who are knowledgeable and unaware of things.

Li Weisheng comforted him a lot, and Zhuo Bufan also pretended to scold the soldiers. These soldiers were very wronged. This kid was like a stone, unwilling to obey orders, so he had to tie him up and curse people all the way without any other words, which attracted the attention of the villagers, and had to stuff his mouth again to make it safe.

Shi Tou agreed to what Li Weisheng and Zhuo Bufan wanted him to do, but he put forward a condition that made everyone laugh, and the soldiers who had suffered some grievances and scolding were completely out of anger. This condition was that he wanted to join the Dahua Army and, in addition, he had to join the soldiers who tied him up with the soldiers.

Zhuo Bufan was very surprised and asked: "Brother Shitou, why do you want to join the Dahua Army and be my subordinate?"

"I killed the Tartars I raised, and I only had one sister in my family. They killed me." As he said that, the corners of Shi Tou's eyes turned red.

Everyone fell silent. The scene on the threshing ground just now reappeared. Is it full of resentment towards the Tartars and pity for these innocent people? Li Weisheng touched the stone's head, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhuo Bufan quickly continued to ask: "Then why do you have to join their team?"

"Hi, I've been kicked several times just now. I'm going to kick back!"

The room burst into laughter, and Zhuo Bufan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you away, but you don't have to join their team, just follow me as a messenger."

"Uh? Messenger? What's that errand? Uh, can you kick their ass?"

"The messenger is to convey my order to them. It's amazing. Of course, you can kick them on their butts and kick them casually, hahaha." Zhuo Bufan likes this kid a little, has a natural stubborn temper, has a simple mind, a well-developed limbs, is honest and cute, and is simply the best choice for the orderly soldiers.

Shi Tou was overjoyed, and before the tears at the corners of his eyes were wiped away, he laughed happily.

"But, stone," Zhuo Bufan changed his tone, "This messenger must be quick-legged. I still have to test whether you can be competent or not, otherwise I still can't ask you."

Shi Tou was anxious and patted his chest and said, "I am a famous Scud in all corners of the countryside. I just go back and forth in Dabei Mountain every day. If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Li, he knows it."

Zhuo Bufan smiled and said, "There is nothing to say. Now there is an important thing. If you do it well, you can naturally join our army and be a glorious People's Liberation Army soldier. Uh, the evil power and the time and space are inconsistent. You are a glorious Dahua soldier, with enough food and drink, and kicking your butts and eggs. If you can't do it well, you will go wherever you go."

Shi Tou was stunned, and asked nervously: "What's the matter?"

"Let's leave now and take us to Sanhezi before noon tomorrow."

When Shitou heard this, he was happy, "What's the matter? I can walk back and forth with my eyes closed. No problem, how many people will go?"

"all!"

"All?" Shi Tou was shocked, "This, this is impossible. You have thousands of people, oh, no, we have thousands of people, go all of them, I can't take care of them, I'm afraid there will be danger."

Zhuo Bufan gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Don't worry about the danger. Just lead the way. As long as you can take someone, you will be considered as if you can." Of course, that's what you said, what is the one who goes there? It's just that Zhuo Bufan has made up his mind to block the Tartars regardless of casualties.

Shi Tou suddenly shouted: "You, you are crazy, you will die."

No one answered again, and everyone began to get busy. The mountains were nearby, and all the horses were stored in Changpo Village. Everyone had already started to travel lightly. Even the armor was taken down, and a sword was tied behind them. Then everyone had a bow and ten arrows in their hands, and all the extra things were thrown aside. Of course, the Zhuo family army, including Zhuo Bufan, didn't know what to do, but Xing Tianhu and two hundred veterans were there.

Shi Tou finally realized that he was going to play with the real thing, and called out: "Give me two hundred people, I want to prepare something. I'm so stupid that I'll be dead."

Two hundred people were immediately transferred out, and followed the stone into the nearby forest with machetes.

Zhuo Bufan, who had already arranged it, breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. At this time, it was getting late and it was a sunny day. A few bright stars could be seen in the sky. From the reflection of the stone, we could imagine the hardships of the road ahead, but we had no choice. I hope that under this beautiful night sky, there would be fewer lonely souls who died unjustly tonight.
