heavy weapon is king

Chapter 50 The Lively Shen Family Village
Ouyang Xi led the Heifengzhai brigade's chariots up the slope, and slowly entered the passage among the cliffs.

After everyone entered the dark and cool passage one after another, Nie Zheng sat on the horse and looked around quite curiously.

In the end, he was surprised to find that this narrow passage in the middle of the cliff is really a magical workmanship, which cleverly captures the good fortune of nature.

Because, this curved and upward channel is simply a small canyon.

The canyon is about hundreds of meters long, and the cliffs on both sides are as high as seven or eight feet, and in some places, they are even higher.

From the mouths of the people behind me, I learned that this precipitous canyon of "two zhangtian" is the only passage leading to the Shenjiazhai in front. It is so easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a majestic and steep natural barrier. I don't know how Shen Hongyu discovered it. of.

On the way to follow Ouyang Xi through the canyon, Nie Zheng was also surprised to find that on the top of the rocks on both sides of the canyon, there were a large number of defensive traps such as wood rolling stones, sail grass and oil barrels.

Seeing these things, Nie Zheng sighed secretly. The Shenjiazhai occupies this precipitous barrier called "Two Zhangtian". If they really encounter the enemy attacking the mountain, they can completely defend it with one man guarding the gate and no one can open it. Advantage.

The selection of the site and the construction of the village alone are several points better than that of the Heifeng Village. It is no wonder that under the leadership of Shen Hongyu, the Shenjiazhai developed the cottage to such a grand scale in just a few years .

In the precipitous canyon, after winding around for about a quarter of an hour, after the large group of horses and horses went around a bend, suddenly, the scene ahead suddenly became clear.

I only saw this section. The space in the canyon has expanded significantly. The passage in the middle, from the original width of more than two feet, slowly extends forward. When it reaches the end of the canyon, the entire canyon is actually five or six wide. Husband.

At this time, Nie Zheng sat on the horse and looked forward, only to see the end of the canyon tens of meters away.

At the end of the canyon, a huge cottage gatehouse has already been built.

The gatehouses are all made of huge stones and waist-thick logs. In the middle of the gatehouse is a giant wooden gate about two feet wide.

On the left and right sides of the gate, two wooden and stone watchtowers with a height of more than ten meters were built.

The scale of the two watchtowers is quite large. When designing and building them, the terrain of the cliffs on both sides of the canyon was cleverly used. The two watchtowers are built close to the cliff walls and built layer by layer.

However, apart from the huge gate in front of him, which shocked Nie Zheng, at the same time, the even more shocking scene was behind the huge gate.

It turned out that behind the gate tower of the canyon, there was a gentle and open slope with an upward slope.

The area of ​​the sloping land is very large, according to Nie Zheng's visual inspection, it is at least several hundred acres.

On such an open and gentle sloping land, there are buildings and courtyards built everywhere. There are no less than a thousand rooms, but it is not surprising when you think about it. There are more than 2000 people in the branch hall, plus some family members such as the old and the weak, women and children.

Such a huge population, if there are not enough houses, how can it be accommodated.

At this moment, outside the gate of the Shen family village, Nie Zheng clearly saw an elegant man dressed as a scholar in his sixties, leading hundreds of Shen family leaders, waiting respectfully at the gate of the village.

After meeting the elegant scholar, Nie Zheng immediately guessed his identity. This person is Shen Hongyu's adoptive father and also the military adviser of Shen's village, Mr. Yi Zixuan Yi.

Nie Zheng learned from Yang Feihu that before Shen Hongyu left Heifengzhai, Mr. Yi was the military adviser of Heifengzhai. Later, Shen Hongyu was driven out of Heifengzhai by Nie Zheng. Had no choice but to leave Heifengling.

In these years, the reason why Shenjiazhai was able to develop so rapidly was that apart from Shen Hongyu's strong personal ability, it was also inseparable from Yi Zixuan's assistance that day.

When the convoy of Heifengzhai was about to drive to the gate of the village, Yi Zixuan immediately led all the bandit leaders in Shenjiazhai to greet them at a fast pace, before the tall horse that Nie Zheng was riding, All the leaders of the Shen family bowed their hands respectfully and said, "Greetings to Master Nie!!"

Facing Yi Zixuan's worship, Nie Zheng didn't dare to trust him. You must know that this person is of the same generation as his father Nie Shirong, and when Nie Shirong was alive, he also respectfully called Yi Zixuan Mr. Yi Zixuan.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng got off his horse immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yi Zixuan up, saying: "Sir, please get up quickly, what can I do for you, how dare you accept such a big gift from your master? Could it be that you want to break evil by doing this?" Junior?"

Yi Zixuan smiled slightly and said, "Master Nie came to pay homage to the mountain today as the lord of the mountain. Although Yi is old, how can he rely on his old age to sell his old age and break the mountain rules left by the ancestor. Master Nie, hurry up!" Leaders, please come in, Hanzhai has already prepared a banquet, to clean up the dust for Master Nie and the Heifeng brothers, and celebrate the festive season together!"

"This junior thank you sir." Nie Zheng bowed his hand and returned the salute.

After saying that, Nie Zheng led the brigade of horses and horses from Heifeng Village and slowly drove into the Shenjia Village.

When more than 100 carts of money, food and supplies from Heifeng Village poured into Shenjiazhai in an endless stream, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Shenjiazhai.

I saw all the old, weak, women, children, and bandits running around in the huge village to tell each other that it was the uncle of Heifeng Village who not only came to pay homage to the mountain this time, but also brought a lot of money, food, materials, livestock, etc. Poultry, etc... The richness and sheer number of presents was simply dizzying.

Not a moment after Nie Zheng entered the Shenjiazhai, in the blink of an eye, he saw a large number of old, weak, children, women, and bandits pouring out of the lanes of the houses in the cottage, coming to watch.

Facing the thousands of people from Shenjiazhai who lined the road to welcome and cheer, the crowd of Heifengzhai felt a little proud and proud. They thought, Shenjiazhai always gave them gifts from Heifengling in the past, but now they are from Heifengzhai. Fortress, it is also possible to send gifts to Shenjiazhai, and the weight of the gift this time is enough to shock anyone.

The architectural planning of the entire cottage of Shenjiazhai is a bit like a small town.

In the middle of the cottage is a road about ten meters wide. On both sides of the road, there are houses of different heights and alleys arranged in order.

The road goes up obliquely, leading to the end of the cottage.

Sitting on the horse, Nie Zheng looked around and found that at the end of the cottage, there was a sloping square with a radius of nearly a kilometer. Right above the square, a large Juyi Hall was built.

It doesn't take much thinking to know that Mr. Yi's reception banquet prepared for them in Heifeng Village was held in Juyi Hall.

Nie Zheng led the troops of Heifengzhai, and headed towards Juyi Hall with their heads held high. Judging from the proud expressions of the crowd, this group of soil turtles in Heifengzhai seemed like a salty fish turned over and raised their eyebrows. .

At this moment, in Shenjiazhai, more and more members joined the ranks of welcoming cheers.

Among the welcoming crowd, there were quite a few women and children. Judging from their joyful expressions, it was estimated that many of them were relatives and family members of Heifeng Village.

Nie Zheng was sitting on the big horse, and from time to time he could hear the side of the road, the minions and urchins who had good deeds, cheering loudly, "My lord, my lord".

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng smiled amiably, and then ordered his subordinates to reward them with copper coins.

For a while, copper coins were flying all over the sky, and on both sides of the road in Shenjiazhai, countless women, children and children were looting and laughing non-stop. In short, because of the arrival of my uncle today, the whole Shenjiazhai was extremely lively.

For Nie Zheng, some people in Shenjiazhai were familiar with it, while others were unfamiliar.

But there is no doubt that almost all the members of the Shen family village have heard more or less that Master Nie of the Black Wind Village is their son-in-law of the Shen family village.

After Nie Zheng ordered his men and horses to hand over all the carriages and supplies to the hall master in charge of the logistics of the Shen family, he entered the Juyi hall in the Shen family village with the support of Yi Zixuan and others.

At noon that day, in the Juyi Hall in Shenjiazhai, the aroma of dishes was overflowing, the smell of wine was wafting, cups were being pushed in the lobby, the sound of punching and loud laughter could be heard endlessly, and the atmosphere was extremely lively...

·······························································
After the lively luncheon, Nie Zheng gave the leaders of Heifengzhai a day off and let them do whatever they like.

After all, today is the Qingfeng Festival, and this group of minions usually stay with me in Heifengling, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see their mother-in-law and children. Since they are here this time, they must give them some time to reunite with their families just work.

Otherwise, as the head of Heifengzhai, it would be a little unkind.

After the luncheon, after everyone dispersed, Yi Zixuan invited Nie Zheng to his residence to talk about the old days.

In an elegant and quiet bamboo courtyard, Yi Zixuan and Nie Zheng sat opposite each other.

After a maid served the fragrant tea, she obediently withdrew.

Looking at the slender and beautiful figure of the maid, Nie Zheng felt a little depressed in his heart, thinking, people are more angry than others!After all, I am also the head of the Heifeng Village, and I can't find a decent woman in the whole village.

And this Yi Zixuan in front of him is just a military adviser in Shenjiazhai, and his residence is served by a beautiful maid. It seems that after returning this time, he must order Fatty Fang to find him as soon as possible. A few beautiful maids came to serve him, otherwise, his life as the king of the mountain would have been a failure.

Seeing Nie Zheng's sudden silence, Yi Zixuan couldn't help asking, "Why did Young Eagle suddenly become so depressed?"

Hearing this, Nie Zheng hurriedly came to his senses, tried his best to hide the obscene thoughts in his heart, and pretended to sigh: "Why didn't you see Hongyu today?"

Yi Zixuan took a sip of his tea, and said flatly, "Since you drove her out of Heifengling last time, you haven't contacted her actively for a whole year. It's normal for a daughter's family to have some resentment in their hearts."

Nie Zheng's expression darkened, and he said, "She doesn't want to see me, does she?"

Yi Zixuan smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and asked back: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Nie Zheng shook his head, pretending to be depressed and said: "I did go too far back then, but this time I really came here sincerely and wanted to get her forgiveness. If she refuses to see me, what should I do?"

Yi Zixuan sighed softly, and said: "You are also a Yumu head, she doesn't want to come out to see you, so why don't you go to her?"

Nie Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said in a moment of frustration, "I'm afraid she still won't see me if I go to find her."

Yi Zixuan pondered for a moment, and said, "You have to tie the bell to untie it. If you don't go, how do you know she won't see you? Besides, even if she doesn't see you, it doesn't mean she doesn't want to see you, it's just that she doesn't want to see you. Just be angry, you just need to be more patient."

As soon as this remark came out, Nie Zheng immediately understood, and immediately he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yi, for your guidance. I'll go find her now."

Yi Zixuan chuckled, nodded and said: "Go, go, remember to speak softly, this girl Hongyu, you should be more aware of this than me. as irritable and impulsive."

"Well, I know that."

Just when Nie Zheng walked to the door, Yi Zixuan suddenly said: "Red Jade is in the Bamboo Forest Elegant Courtyard, the rest is up to you."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yi, for your guidance."

After finishing speaking, Nie Zheng left Yi Zixuan's small courtyard, and went straight to Shen Hongyu's residence under the guidance of the maid outside the door.

Looking at Nie Zheng's leaving back, Yi Zixuan shook his head, thinking: "These two enemies, after so many years of stalemate, are finally about to ease."

Not long after Nie Zheng left Yi Zixuan's residence, a leader of the Shen family who was in charge of scouting far away came to Yi Zixuan with a hurried expression.

When Yi Zixuan saw this person, he frowned and asked, "Luo Feng, why did you come back so early?"

Luo Feng cupped his hands, and said with a dignified expression: "Sir, just now the Black Mouse posted a letter saying that he saw a group of suspicious people appearing in the area of ​​Cangsong Ridge."

Hearing this, Yi Zixuan's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Oh, Cangsong Ridge is not far from Heifeng Ridge, did the black mouse see clearly, did the group of people leave the mountain or enter the mountain?"

"Out of the mountain, after they left Cangsong Ridge, they headed towards Huangzhou City."

"Have you seen clearly who the other party is?"

Luo Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "This subordinate has never seen it with his own eyes, and he dare not judge, but according to the carrier pigeon sent by the black mouse, among the group of suspicious people, the leader seems to be very similar to Qiu Zhan, the head of the Long Sword Sect. wave."

"Long knife door?"

Hearing this, Yi Zixuan's face sank, and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to Heifengling to see if everything is as usual there."

"Yes, sir!"

After Luo Feng got the order, he cupped his fists and left immediately.

When he walked to the door, Yi Zixuan suddenly called him.

"Wait, Luo Feng! It's better for you to go to Heifeng Ridge yourself. Remember, hurry up and get there as fast as possible. If there is anything unusual, remember to send the letter back from Feige."

"Yes, sir!……"
