heavy weapon is king

Chapter 49
Shenjiazhai is located in Qingzhu Ridge in the southeast of Heifeng Ridge, about 80 miles away from Heifeng Ridge.

If you ride a fast horse alone, you can reach it in a day at most.

However, this time Nie Zheng led a large number of convoys to cross the mountains and ridges along the way, with bumps and bumps. Therefore, under the drag of more than 100 vehicles of supplies and livestock, they walked day and night and left. After two whole days, finally on the morning of the third day, that is, the day of the Qingfeng Festival, the brigade of carriages and horses successfully entered the boundary of Qingzhuling.

When they just left Heifengling, Nie Zheng and others were still a little worried, fearing that the people from Changdaomen would ambush and attack on the road. Therefore, along the way, Nie Zheng ordered all the bandits to load all their guns and shoot them at any time. Keep vigilant so as not to be plotted by the enemy.

But after the brigade of horses and horses drove away from the boundary of Heifengling, the scouts sent out to explore the road back and forth, and found nothing unusual, which made Nie Zheng and the bandit leaders feel a little strange.

Could it be that the people from Changdaomen ran away in fright after seeing them use brutal firearms to repel the regular army in Zhoucheng last time, and dare not come to Heifengling again?
However, guesses are guesses, and doubts are doubts. Along the way, everyone's vigilance has not been relaxed for a moment.

Nie Zheng reminded everyone many times on the way, saying that the enemy usually appears when the prey is most relaxed, so no matter whether there will be an ambush on the way, everyone must maintain a nervous attitude to fight at any time.

This state of high vigilance lasted for two days. After entering the boundary of Qingzhu Ridge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their vigilance secretly.

No matter how insidious and cunning the people of Changdaomen are, they must not dare to appear within the sphere of influence of Qingzhuling.

One must know that the entire Qingzhu Ridge is the boundary of the Shenjiazhai.

No matter who it is, if it dares to cause trouble in this area without the consent of Shenjiazhai, it is crossing the line and breaking the rules of Shenjiazhai. Mess here.

You know, Shenjiazhai is one of the three most powerful forces in the Southern Tiger Nine Villages.

It was Menghu Village, which was known as the number one village of Southern Tigers. The owner of the village, Qiu Xiaotian, would go up the mountain to visit Shen Hongyu in person when he led the team through Qingzhu Ridge.

Therefore, Nie Zheng and others don't have to worry at all, the Long Sword Gate will appear in Qingzhu Ridge.

A big village like the Shenjiazhai has strong soldiers and horses, and there are many masters in the village. It may not be said how powerful it is in other places, but within the three-acre area of ​​​​our own family, it is really fearless.

Besides, near Qingzhu Ridge, it is estimated that Shen Hongyu has arranged a lot of hidden posts to patrol the mountains and let the wind go. Once an outsider with unknown details breaks in, he will be targeted soon.

Therefore, after Nie Zheng entered Qingzhu Ridge, his mentality gradually became more relaxed.

Qingzhu Ridge, as the name suggests, is full of greenery all over the mountains and plains, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of green bamboos.

Standing on a high slope, Nie Zheng looked at the sea of ​​green bamboos in front of him. Suddenly, he felt relaxed and happy, and secretly praised the wonderful scenery here, and the four seasons are spring. No wonder Shen Hongyu chose this place to set up a village.

A gust of mountain wind blew slowly, and suddenly, above the bamboo sea all over the mountains and plains, there was a faint sound of "squashing" waves, which really echoed the beautiful conception of the forest sea listening to the waves.

Just when the horses and chariots from Heifengzhai appeared near Qingzhu Ridge, in an instant, within the boundaries of Qingzhu Ridge, bursts of crisp and pleasant bamboo whistles sounded suddenly.

The whistle sounded one after another, echoing each other from a distance, and it sounded extremely joyful. Presumably, the arrival of the Heifengzhai brigade had already attracted the attention of the Shenjiazhai. Therefore, they specially used this kind of different ceremony to welcome the brothers of the Heifengzhai them.

Hearing the sound of the whistle, Nie Zheng frowned and said, "What's the meaning of this?"

At this moment, Yang Feihu did not know when he came behind him, and said with a smile: "The owner of the village has never been to Shenjiazhai, so of course he doesn't know the meaning of this whistle. ', it was specially prepared by a group of patrolling brothers from Shenjiazhai to welcome you, the village owner. In this world, except you, no one is qualified to receive the welcome ceremony of "White Bird Facing the Phoenix" at the patrolling hall of Shenjiazhai."

"Hehe, what kind of phoenix is ​​facing, the master of this village is one of the elders, if you want to face, you must also face the dragon."

Nie Zheng said in a good mood: "It seems that they have discovered our people long ago. It is estimated that before we entered Qingzhu Ridge, these Shen family scouts quickly spread the news."

Yang Feihu nodded, and said: "It is estimated that the brothers of the Shen family are very happy to learn that the village master has visited Qingzhuling this time..."

Before the words were finished, all of a sudden, the crowd could only hear a dozen scout horses rushing out of the bamboo forest in front of the road, and galloped towards the team of Heifengzhai extremely quickly.

From a distance, Nie Zheng saw Zhang Dazhuang in front of the team, warmly greeting the leader who led the team. "Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a year, and you have been promoted to the head of the Tanma Hall. It's really gratifying. I'm going to kill you hard tonight."

Ouyang Xi burst out laughing upon hearing this, "Thanks to Miss Meng's respect, I made you brothers laugh."

After saying that, Ouyang Xi waved his hand, and immediately, a dozen or so tough-looking probing horses followed closely behind him, all of them fell off their horses in unison.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was secretly moved, and marveled in his heart, this Shenjiazhai is indeed much stronger than his own Heifengzhai.

Among other things, just this group of agile scouts in front of them, their uniform dismounting movements are more than a few grades higher than Yang Feihu's gang of scouts.

After Ouyang Xi got off his horse, he led a dozen of his subordinates, and quickly came to Nie Zheng's horse, and they all bowed their hands respectfully and said, "Meet Master Nie!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers, please forgive me!" After saying that, he ordered Zhang Long who was waiting behind him: "To these brothers from the Shen family who are paying respects, reward 'Shan Hong'."

"Yes, Village Master!"

After Zhang Long received the order, he quickly distributed the strings of money wrapped in red paper to Ouyang Xi and others.

After receiving the "Mountain Red" rewarded by Master Nie, a group of detectives from the Shen family bowed again to thank them.

After saluting and receiving the red reward, Ouyang Xi said respectfully: "Knowing that Master Nie paid homage to the mountain in person, Mr. Yi specially sent a young man to welcome Master Nie into the mountain. Now I invite Master Nie to climb the mountain!"

After saying that, Ouyang Xi led more than a dozen of his men, got on the horse again, sang and drank all the way to lead the way, and led the team of Heifengzhai through the secret and dark bamboo forest, along the winding mountain Road, slowly driving towards a cloud-shrouded mountain ahead.

On the way, from time to time, hidden minions from the Shen family village wearing leather armor suddenly leaned out from both sides of the road, respectfully saluting Nie Zheng who was riding on the horse.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng also smiled back one by one, and rewarded "Shanhong" and them.

Under the guidance of Ouyang Xi, the horses and chariots of Heifengzhai passed through five hidden piles and three mountain cards. It took nearly an hour before they slowly climbed to the top of the mountain and entered a flat land. slope.

At this moment, a hundred meters in front of the slope, there is another slope that rises slowly. On both sides of the slope, there are two naturally formed cliffs, leaving a passage about two feet wide in the middle.

Beyond the cliffs, there are smooth and steep rocks. Unless you carry special climbing equipment, it is difficult to climb to the top of the mountain from both sides.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng couldn't help but secretly moved: "What a natural and steep barrier!..."
