Rebirth: sailing a thousand times

"Oh", the knuckles of Mu Wenshen's index finger tapped on the table, his eyes swept over him like lightning, "What is Jia Geer going to do in Jingyang County?"

Gu Shaobai was almost chased to the end by him, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, Mu Qingfeng, you are too arrogant.

With a straight face, he put down the teacup, narrowed his beautiful eyes, "What am I going to do, does it have anything to do with you?"

Mu Qingfeng tapped his fingers on the table for a moment. Obviously, he didn't expect that the person who was so pleasant just now would suddenly turn cold, but soon, a strange smile flashed by.

Just as I was about to say something more, suddenly, a sound of horseshoes mixed with noisy human voices resounded over the dense forest, and the speed quickly approached from far away.

Gu Shaobai turned to where the sound came from, and after a while, at the corner of the path ahead, more than a dozen fast horses came out, screaming and neighing towards where they were, and galloped towards them.

"Ah! Bandits!" The owner of the tea stall squatted behind the big clay stove with his head in his arms, his legs trembling, apparently too frightened to stand up.

Amidst the whistle, the horse team arrived in a blink of an eye wrapped in smoke and dust.

The leading horse bandit reined in vigorously, the horse's head was raised high, then landed firmly, and then stood still.

Mu Qingfeng also pretended to be scared and sat on the ground with his head in his arms, but he had another thought in his mind. These dozen or so horses had big heads, short necks, strong physiques, broad chests and long manes, thick skins and thick hairs, and they were suddenly strangled. He is neither surprised nor deceitful, and looks calm, obviously from the "Tonghua" military horse farm at the northern foot of Lenglongling in Qilian Mountains.

It seems that this trip is really rewarding!

Mu Qingfeng was thinking for a while, and suddenly realized that Jia Fan didn't know whether he was frightened out of his wits or because he was a high-level artist, but he was sitting upright at the table, staring blankly at the bandits, very calm.

He smiled secretly, Xiao Mian, are you frightened and stupid, or is it not enough to pretend to be stupid?

The bandit leader is a thick and strong man, he squinted at Gu Shaobai, hey, this man is interesting, he looks young, handsome, well-dressed, like a young master from a rich family!

With a sound of "choking", he suddenly pulled out his waist knife, condescending on the horse, pointed the tip of the knife at Gu Shaobai, and shouted, "Who are you!"

The sound of the long knife being unsheathed was crisp and exciting in the dense forest, startling a flock of birds, and flitted across the forest tops.

Gu Shaobai's heart trembled, he raised his neck and moved away from the point of the knife, and said in his heart, Mu Qingfeng, you plague god, I'm really unlucky, follow you!Unexpectedly, you can still meet bandits!

It's not that he's not afraid, but he doesn't know what to do!

Now, the knife is up to his neck. Seeing Mu Qingfeng's cowardice, he couldn't help but feel cold. Could it be that the rumor that he cut off the heads of two enemies with one sword on the battlefield-is false, this person, Really no martial arts!

Still, know martial arts, but not that strong?

Gu Shaobai felt like crying, he stood up, and saluted respectfully, "My lord, Xiaosheng, oh... and him, just passing by... Please hold your hand high and let us go..." See Like him, no matter it's true or not, let's beg for mercy together for now!

Mu Qingfeng lowered his head, but kept staring at the knife in the bandit leader's hand from the corner of his eyes. The blade was slightly curved, but the blade was thin, with a faint blue light. A saber used by the Guards Battalion.

He roughly sorted out the clues in his mind. Half a month ago, a batch of military equipment and military pay was robbed outside Jingyang County, and none of the escorted officers and soldiers survived.

After a long investigation, I only came to one conclusion: the scene was cleaned up very cleanly, and the culprits should have suffered casualties, but all the bodies were dragged away.Judging from the hoof prints on the ground, there were more than [-] bandits in this group. They fought fiercely and were well-trained. The horses they rode were excellent, and they should not be ordinary war horses.

In addition, more than a month ago, part of the salary sent by the imperial court to the northwest to suppress disasters was also robbed in "Huoyang County", a hundred miles away, and the scene was equally tragic.

Dali Temple's repeated investigations were fruitless, and it was extremely frustrating. Because the Ministry of Punishment belonged to Prime Minister Mu Qingfeng, he had no choice but to take advantage of Mobei's birthday celebration to investigate in person.

Yesterday, Wenxin's secret guards reported to him the results of the investigation. Except for Phoenix Mountain, there are no dense forests or hills where more than 30 people can hide in a hundred miles away.

People may be able to hide in the vast sea of ​​people, but horses cannot.Since they are military horses, they must not be able to show themselves in front of others. What's more, if they plunder such large-scale armaments, they must have a place to put them.

The group of bandits entrenched in Phoenix is ​​also strange. The normal way of bandits should be to collect some reasonable money to buy roads, and then let them go, but they use such cruel methods to kill all pedestrians and merchants. Dare to go this way, isn't it self-defeating?

From this point of view, the purpose of this group of bandits is not to collect money for buying roads, but to make people turn pale and never dare to approach Phoenix Mountain again!

Thus, Mu Qingfeng came to a conclusion that there are indeed strange things on Phoenix Mountain!

The bandit leader obviously didn't notice Mu Qingfeng's cold and sly gaze under the bamboo hat, he pointed at the two with his knife upside down, "You two together?"

Gu Shaobai was about to say that it was just a chance meeting and he didn't know each other. The next second, Mu Qingfeng jumped up, threw himself at his feet, hugged his waist and groped, crying loudly, "Master, Young master, Ah Feng is so scared, will the king kill us, please...give them the money, let them let us go... woo woo woo..."

What's the situation?Gu Shaobai stood there dumbfounded, completely unable to keep up with his embarrassing rhythm!

The bandit leader waved his hand, and the people behind him got off their horses one after another and formed a semicircle, enclosing the two of them in the middle.

The bandit leader approached, stared at Gu Shaobai, turned around twice, and smirked twice, "Young master, young master, which family's young master are you from?"

Mu Qingfeng yawned again, "My master is Master Jia from Jingyang County, and this is my young master Jia Fan."

Gu Shaobai wanted to lift his foot to kick him away, but this guy's hand was too strong, he couldn't move his legs.

With a black line on his face, he thought helplessly, it's over, this time I really have to confess my life!

The bandit leader raised his chin, "Search!"

"Yes", the two young men came forward and searched Gu Shaobai and Mu Qingfeng three times, not even letting go of Gu Shaobai's little burden.

There was nothing on Mu Qingfeng's body, but a wad of bank notes was found from Gu Shaobai, which was worth 1 taels.

Gu Shaobai suddenly became angry, Mu Qingfeng, you bastard, no wonder you suddenly hugged me, so you took the opportunity to stuff the banknote on me...

In the previous life, you killed me, not me, okay!

The bandit leader weighed a thick pile of banknotes in his hand, and said with a smirk, "Master Jia, you really have a big family and a big business, and you have to bring so much money when you go out, tsk tsk, you really are a young master, You should go up the mountain and stay for two days!"

A strong young man in his twenties reminded him softly behind him, "The second master, the elder master has ordered that you are not allowed to bring idlers up the mountain."

The bandit leader glared angrily and said, "The big boss, the big boss, isn't it just bullshit if I say anything other than what the big boss says?"

Another ugly young man with a big mole on his face came over, "Second Master, don't be angry, Xiao Liu is also kind, after all, the lord told me before leaving..."

The bandit leader who is known as the second leader raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily, "Damn it, keep those things and don't let them move. What's the matter with getting some money for me? One by one, howling here, it's all right!" Why don't you go away..."

He turned his head and kicked the big man, "I'm taking care of something, tie him up the mountain for me!"

Gu Shaobai glared at Mu Qingfeng, if the gaze was real, it would be two fires that could burn him to the bone.

The latter, however, still had a frightened and frightened look, and even his legs were limp.

A few minions came over with the rope, without any explanation, they tied the two tightly, strangling Gu Shaobai almost to the point of dying.

Mu Qingfeng also shouted like a pig with a very distorted expression, "Big brothers, big brothers... Take it easy, my young master's skin is tender... Don't tie it so hard, master read it I will feel bad...Young master, young master, don't be afraid, Ah Feng...Ah Feng will protect you...Well..."

Gu Shaobai felt that his ears were quieter when he heard his mouth was gagged.

After a while, he was also blindfolded, gagged, and thrown onto the horse.There was a whistling sound in his ear, and the horse under him galloped wildly.

After running for half an hour, by the time Gu Shaobai was lifted off the horse, he was already dizzy and his hands and feet were weak.Looking at Mu Qingfeng again, this evil spirit actually passed out.

The second leader of the bandit took a look at Gu Shaobai who had just taken off the gag and vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables, and said with a grinning smile, "Master Jia, don't look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, you are better than that servant."

He turned his head and told Brother Mo Zi, "Xiao Wu, lock them up first, and feed them something to eat and drink. I'll go see Big Brother first. It's getting dark, so I won't make any fuss about it."

The road was rough, Gu Shaobai was pushed and shoved away, his wrists were tied behind him, and he almost fell several times.

The sun has not yet set, and the setting sun sheds thousands of golden lights.He squinted and looked around.

This is a large-scale cottage, one after another stone houses are built on the mountain, and they are neatly arranged row upon row on the mountain road.The air is very humid, and the mountainside is surrounded by thin clouds and mists. In the golden light, the clouds are transpiring, and the sky is vast and magnificent.

Gu Shaobai thought as he walked, if it wasn't for the bandit's den, it would really be a good place with a great view!

Mu Qingfeng didn't really faint. He was supported by two strong men. He observed the terrain through the slits of his eyes and found that the location of the village was very well chosen. There was only a narrow path leading to the gate of the village. The mountain was surrounded by dense forests. Relying on the cliff, easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Gu Shaobai and Mu Qingfeng were taken to the shady side of a dirt slope halfway up the mountain, where there was a dark hole, and the door of the hole was a wooden fence tied with wire.

The gate of the fence was wide open, and the man named Xiao Wu directed several people to push the two of them into the hole.

The sun was sinking to the west, just to illuminate the cave in the shade. The cave wall was uneven, and there were several iron rings nailed to the wall, and iron chains were hung on the iron rings. Simple cell.
