It is still cold in Liaodong in early spring, the snow on the ground has not yet melted, and the roads are very difficult to walk. If it is not very important, few people will walk on the roads at this time. After all, there have been wars for many years, and there are no bandits on the roads.

few.

In the west of Shenyang City, there is a very dangerous place called Calabash Valley. Because there are cliffs on both sides, this is the only access road. The valley entrance, the center and the exit are all very narrow, and it looks like

It looks like an inverted gourd, so this place is called Gourd Valley.

The morning sun has just risen, and the sun has not yet shone into the Calabash Valley. It seems a little dark here, but it is also very peaceful. However, the arrival of a group of people broke the tranquility here, and the birds and beasts in the mountains became excited.

"We passed through Calabash Valley quickly and waited for the group of turtles at the exit in front!" This group of people were all wearing night clothes, their faces were covered with masks, and they all had knives on their backs. Everyone was carrying a knife.

Sitting on the horse, with a fierce look in their eyes, under the call of the leader, the pair of horses quickly rushed through the Calabash Valley.

This group of people gradually became silent, and the Hulu Valley gradually became quiet, as if these people had never appeared before.

I don’t know how long it took, but a group of people came again and broke the tranquility of Hulu Valley. Compared with the previous group of people, this time the people were more like visiting mountains and rivers. Seven people and seven horses were leisurely on the road.

As he walked, he was obviously not in a hurry.

After lightly slapping the horse and looking at the man beside him, Wei Zhongxian said slowly: "Prince Wang, you did a great job this time. After you return to Beijing, your godfather will definitely give you a generous reward."

"Thanks to Eunuch Wei for being wise, I will have to rely more on Eunuch Wei for support in the future!" Wang Baotou hugged Wei Zhongxian. Although he looked down on him in his heart, his face could not see it at all. Instead, he was full of flattery.

.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. We think that the king's stall is very good, and he will definitely have a lot of potential in the future." Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and said loudly. After taking a look at the terrain in front, Wei Zhongxian gently pulled him.

own horse.

Looking around with some confusion, Wang Taotou asked blankly: "Eunuch Wei, why don't you leave?"

"The terrain here is dangerous. If we encounter bandits, we will be in great danger." Wei Zhongxian still knows something about Liaodong. There are so many bandits here, so we must be careful, otherwise our lives will be lost.

Pulling the horse's reins, Wang Shitou laughed a few times and continued: "Eunuch Wei, you don't know this. Although the terrain here is dangerous, there will be no bandits."

"Why is this?" Wei Zhongxian asked with a curious look at Wang Stall. After all, the terrain here is dangerous and it is the main road to Shenyang. If you do anything to rob someone's house here, it is very safe.

"The place here is called Hulu Valley, which is the choke point leading to Shenyang from the west. There were indeed bandits in the past, and there were quite a few of them! However, in recent years, Liaodong has not been peaceful and there are always wars, so this place has become a very important place.

Location. Sometimes when the war is tight, there will be troops stationed here, and the bandits will have run away long ago. Those who did not run away will also be wiped out. After all, this place cannot fall into the hands of bandits.

He nodded slowly. Since it was safe, it didn't matter. However, Wei Zhongxian still said to Mr. Wang: "It's better to send someone to take a look! It's always right to be careful."

"Eunuch Wei is really wise." He turned around and waved to someone, and Wang Baotou said, "Go and have a look!" Although he was quite disapproving of it, Wang Baotou still did not dare to disobey Wei Zhongxian's wishes.

After a short time, the man came back and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Go back to Eunuch Wei, there is no one here."

"Then let's go!" He gently rubbed his forehead. For some reason, Wei Zhongxian always felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

The speed of the group was not very fast, and they were walking forward slowly. Wei Zhongxian was in the middle of the group, constantly looking around. However, it seemed that nothing happened, and nothing happened when these people walked to the middle of the valley.

This made Wei Zhongxian feel relieved a lot.

The king glanced at Wei Zhongxian with disdain in his heart. This is really a eunuch. He is so timid. I really don't know why the governor values ​​him so highly. Is it because he is a eunuch?

Just when Wang Taotou was about to say something, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "Someone is shooting an arrow." He subconsciously went over. He tilted his body and the arrow flew close to his body.

past.

The man behind Wang Shitou was no longer so skilled. Before he could react, the flying arrow had already penetrated his chest. The man's body swayed on his horse, and then

He fell down, and finally looked at Wei Zhongxian with eyes full of resentment. If he could speak at this time, he would definitely say to Wei Zhongxian, you are really a crow's mouth.

With the sound of bowstrings, the sound of bowstrings continued to be heard in the valley, and the people around Wei Zhongxian kept falling off their horses. At this time, Wang Staotou had already pulled out the knife behind him, and kept shooting the feathers and arrows, while reaching out to lift the horse.

Wei Zhongxian turned around and hid behind a dead horse.

"I don't know which brother you are from? Why are you so embarrassed?" Although Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth at this time, his body was still trembling. However, the king's boss was quite courageous. He held the knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

But the valley became quiet again. No one appeared or spoke. Only the fallen horses kept neighing. Wang Stall didn't dare to get up, so he had to pull Wei Zhongxian and lie there.

, I am a fish, if I run away at this time, I will definitely be shot like a hedgehog.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of horse hooves came to mind in the valley. What made Wang Staotou different was that the sound of horse hooves did not come from the opposite side, but from behind. He and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other, and both of them saw a hint of joy in the other's eyes.

Since they didn’t come from the same direction, I guess these people didn’t come in the same group. It seemed like they really didn’t deserve to die!

Not long ago, a pair of people and horses appeared in the valley. There were not many people, only four or five people. However, everyone was riding a horse, carrying a bow, arrow and knife, and each person also had a musket hung on his horse.

The leader was a young man in white, holding a folding fan in his hand. He looked very polite. Seeing the scene in front of him, the young man in white didn't seem surprised. He got off his horse and came to the side of Wei Zhongxian and Wei Zhongxian.
