Great Wei Nengchen

Cobbler Zhang Ji closed his eyes without saying a word, obviously he didn't have much interest in this so-called young master, or maybe he already figured it out, the way of the Yellow Turban Army would not work.

"I have been living in seclusion for several years, and I have no desire to compete for the throne." The blacksmith stood up, after a little thought, he took out a two-and-a-half-foot-long short knife and handed it to the chinchilla. He recently made a new short knife, which is extremely sharp. , Bring it to the young master, I hope it can help him!

The ground squirrel took a look and saw that the black cork scabbard was unpretentious, inlaid with two iron rings, and there was a mighty bull's head pattern on the handle, which was the exclusive logo of the blacksmith, and two red seal script inscriptions "Pojun" on it !Pull out the blade and look, the two-foot-long blade is made of the best wrought iron, the cold light is shining everywhere, surrounded by a faint blue light, it is indeed extremely sharp, "

The ground squirrel wanted to continue persuading, but seeing the murderous intent in Zhang Cobbler's eyes that suddenly opened, he was so frightened that he swallowed the rest of the words in his stomach. He was completely clear about the fear of this military adviser. Clear.

"Thank you, Commander Niu Qu, for your generosity. It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time. The villain will leave. I will cross the river and go to Qingzhou tomorrow morning." Seeing the cobbler's attitude, he knew that the two had no intention of going out of the mountain, so the squirrel had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

"Okay, let's go, be careful all the way."

After leaving the cobbler's house, the ground mouse quickly went to the outskirts of the town to join his horse dealers. The northern night in late autumn was already cold. A group of his men were roasting dry food around the fire, and some rough men were taking turns drinking wine in leather bags. Dispel the cold.Seeing the ground squirrel coming out, the old Zhengtou, who was the guide of the horse team, stood up with a young boy;

The young man is eight feet tall, with a thick back and a hulking waist, but with a baby face, he doesn't look very old. Although he walks behind, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is the master of the room.

"How's it going?"

"Reporting to the young master, they are disheartened and do not want to go out of the mountain."

"Oh? So they don't want to assist me, Zhang Yan?"

"Shuai Niu Qu entrusted me with a magical weapon, hoping to help the young master accomplish great things;" said the squirrel, and handed the 'broken saber' to the young man with both hands.

"Shh!" sounded.

The precious sword was unsheathed, and a cold light pierced people's eyes...

"It really is a rare treasured sword, but it's a pity that the fierce general "Niu Wudi" who was on the battlefield back then lost his ambition!"

The little one will invite you again tomorrow?

Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, cross the river tomorrow and return!

promise!

The fire was slowly extinguished, and the exhausted horse dealers spread thick sheepskins on the ground, fell asleep, and soon snored everywhere, only a few guys on duty at night were still trying to keep their spirits up...

In the second half of the night, dark clouds slowly covered the moon, and suddenly a group of small black shadows ran out from among the horses, looked around vigilantly, and jumped over the ropes of the horses, and then it was like a gust of wind. Disappeared in the night...

Early the next morning, all the horse dealers woke up, packed their luggage, counted the livestock, and were about to get up. A guy ran over to the ground mouse and said, "Boss, a pony disappeared last night."

"That horse?"

"I just picked up that horse halfway!"

The ground squirrel recalled, it turned out that the horse team encountered wild wolves chasing a group of wild horses on the way, and a lost pony ran to his own horse team in a panic to seek shelter, and waited for the crowd to shoot back the wolves with bows and crossbows; I brought it into the Great Wall together, and I thought I could sell it for some money, but I lost it here.

"Forget it, a horse is not worth a lot of money. Get up, cross the river, and return to Qingzhou."

12. Chapter 12 The Arrogant Vegetable Thief

"Who stole my vegetables?" On Crouching Tiger Mountain, beside the vegetable field behind the small Taoist temple, Xiao Yi shouted angrily.

Except for practicing martial arts and sleeping late, Xiao Yi spent almost all of his remaining time on growing vegetables. This vegetable field was opened up by the veteran "Chuchenzi".

After Xiao Yi came here, he carried out a large-scale expansion of the vegetable garden based on the principle of 'do it yourself, have enough food and clothing'; now the size of the vegetable garden is quite considerable, not only enough to meet the needs of the two masters and apprentices, but also often pull out vegetables. Give some to the people down the mountain; growing vegetables and inspecting the vegetable fields has become one of Xiao Yi's daily homework, and it is also one of the few pleasures since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because the weather is getting colder, in order to store enough vegetables for the winter, Xiao Yi planted a large amount of cabbage in the vegetable garden, watering, fertilizing, and deworming... He took care of it hard, and looked at the good growth of the cabbage every day. The mood is happy.But when Xiao Yi came to the vegetable field this morning, he was surprised to find that the entire row of cabbage was gone. To be precise, someone had stolen it, or more accurately, the cabbage heart had been stolen, leaving a large piece of cabbage clapper scattered All over the place, as if laughing at him as a vegetable grower...

This is simply stealing the fruit of his own labor; when he was in college, in order to protect the vegetables on his QQ account from being stolen, Xiao Yi set the alarm in the middle of the night every night and got up on time to collect the vegetables. Lost a cabbage, and now, looking at the whole cabbage stolen by someone, how can you not be angry?

The little Taoist was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

After carefully inspecting the crime scene, the fence of the vegetable garden was not damaged in any way, and there were no strange human footprints on the ground. Except for the cabbage clappers on the ground, the sand seemed to be rolled by something; except for a few black hairs, there was nothing else. Nothing stays.

In the evening, Xiao Yi told Daniu and Ma Liu about the throwing of vegetables, and the three discussed it. Usually, there were few people walking around on the mountain. Even if there were woodcutters and herbal pickers going up the mountain, they would not steal from the Taoist temple. Chinese cabbage.And the fence of the vegetable field was not damaged at all, which vetoed the possibility of a wild animal breaking in...

Before the three of them could discuss something, the next day, Xiao Yi discovered that another bed of cabbage was lost...

This is not bad, the little Taoist broke out completely, and raised the catching of vegetable thieves to a strategic level, the old gentleman broke ground!Taoist stealing food in front of the door!Is it tolerable?What can't be tolerated!

After research, the three energetic teenagers unanimously decided to guard in the middle of the night and catch the vegetable thief.

After dinner, after reciting the mantra of pure heart, after the old Taoist went back to the house to rest, the three of them changed into black night clothes, took swords, guns and sticks, prepared ropes, and quietly came to the edge of the vegetable field, secretly laying in ambush, waiting for the vegetable thieves door-to-door...

Catching thieves is much more interesting than growing vegetables!

The first watch, the second watch, the third watch...; the enthusiasm and patience of several people continued to wear away with the passage of time. The howling of wolves from time to time on the mountain makes people feel terrified...

At five o'clock, the three of them were feeling drowsy and couldn't help but go to Zhou Gong to report the time; Xiao Yi, who was exceptionally sensitive in vision and hearing, suddenly felt something running towards him, and saw a mass of people in the hazy night. The black creature ran out of the vegetable field extremely quickly, then jumped in, and then there was a soft chewing sound from inside.

The vegetable thief finally came, and when he found the situation, Xiao Yi hurriedly slapped Daniel and Ma Liu awake, and the three of them crept towards the vegetable field slowly...

"Crack!" During the siege, Da Niu accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground. The thing inside seemed to be very alert. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he leaped out of the fence and disappeared into the night like a gust of wind. ... Only three people were left stunned in the cold wind...

"See what it is?"

"It's too dark, but it doesn't look like a human being. The one with four legs should be a beast!"

"What grass-eating beast can run so fast? Like a gust of wind! Can it jump so high?"

"Could it be a monster that ran out from the deep mountains?" Daniel said with some fear.

………………

Back at the Taoist temple, the three of them had a heated discussion. Daniel insisted that the mandrill and ghosts in the mountains had become spirits, and asked the old Taoist "Chuchenzi" to help him open the altar and subdue the demons!

Ma Liu thought it was a kind of animal like wild sheep, but he couldn't make a reasonable explanation for why the wild sheep could run so fast and easily cross high fences.

Xiao Yi kept silent all the time, just touched his chin, thinking quietly, even though he was wearing Taoist robes, he was still a staunch atheist, taking ten thousand steps back, even if there were monsters, ha ha!Isn't catching monsters more interesting than catching thieves?

What is the scariest thing in the world is not beasts or ghosts, but emptiness and loneliness; entertainment activities in ancient times were scarce, but now that there are such fun things, how can Xiao Yi give up easily, as the saying goes: Fighting is endless joy! Fighting the earth is endless joy! Fighting monsters is even more joyful!"

After dawn, Xiao Yi went to inspect the surroundings of the vegetable field carefully. Within a radius of several hundred meters, he didn't even miss a single footprint. Then he repeatedly looked at the teeth left on the eaten cabbage. Yin, came back with a confident smile on his small face, revealing two deep dimples, as if he was holding a wisdom pearl.

Outsmart the strong, capture the weak alive!After learning the lesson from the previous failure, Xiao Yi made a new tactical arrangement - soil work.

The three of them worked together and dug several large pits on the side of the vegetable field where the cabbage grew best. They were three meters long, wide and deep, with a small mouth and a big belly. Any focus, that's not enough, Xiao Yi dug a few more small pits at the bottom of the pit, poured a few buckets of water into the pits, turned the inside into a piece of mud, and threw messy hemp rope into the muddy water... In this way, the vegetable thief fell in, his feet were covered with mud, his legs were wrapped with hemp rope, and the walls were smooth sloped walls, absolutely impossible to escape.

Finally, carefully set up the trap with thin dry branches, cover it with leaves, sprinkle a layer of floating soil, put a few pieces of cabbage clappers that were scattered before, and cover a few obvious big footprints with your own boots. To dispel the suspicion of vegetable thieves, Xiao Yi specially found some poop from wild animals on the mountain and put them on the floating soil...

After setting up the trap, he dug an extremely concealed hiding hole 50 meters away from the upwind of the vegetable field. After all this was done, Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction, and Daniel and Ma Liu looked at Xiao Yi with nothing but admiration. , there is still a trace of fear, how many monsters can come up with such an airtight tactic, "a big pit with a small pit, there is still water in the pit, and a rope in the water" is really more cunning than a fox, if one day Enemy with Xiao Yi? ...

In the future, the two famous generals 'Niutou' and 'Horse Face' who will cross the battlefield will always carry out all the strategic deployments of 'Wuyouhou Xiaoyi', without a doubt, because they firmly believe that the deployment of Lord Hou will be absolutely perfect. is impeccable...

Forty years later, when the Tai Historian of the Great Wei Dynasty wanted to write a biography for Xiao Yi, he asked Niu and Ma, "Marquis of Wuchou" fought countless battles in his life, which battle was the most classic?When is the deployment most successful?

The two answered in unison: "Cabbage."
