Chapter 13 Funiu Village (Part 2)
The woman was wearing a crimson-red garment and graceful figure. Looking closely at her face, she felt her tall temples were like clouds and her eyebrows were picturesque. Perhaps because she was a little anxious, some sweat oozing out from her forehead, her complexion was rosy, and she was breathing finely, as if the ripe fruits to be picked on the branches were full of a different charm.
A thud suddenly came from the yard. It turned out that He Yun was drawing water. When he saw such a beautiful woman, he was panicked and accidentally threw the bucket into the well.
The next moment, the Zhang village leader and the Qing-clad servants in the courtyard bowed together: "See the big village leader!"
The woman in red waved casually: "You guys go back."
The leader of the village, and others bent down and retreated.
The current leader of the Great Village in Funiu Village, this green forest hero who is famous in Taihang, is actually a woman.
In the past, Hu Zhe, a great man from the green forest in Bingzhou, achieved this foundation in the 800-mile Taihang Mountains with his powerful skills, but was ambushed by enemies and died with hatred. Hu Zhe only had a daughter under his knees, and was named Liu Niang before she could finish her hair. Several loyal old subordinates supported Hu Liu Niang ascended the position of the village leader.
Hu Liuniang is a heroine who is not inferior. Not only did she kill her enemies to avenge her father, but also under her control, Funiu Village is booming and has been prosperous for more than ten years. Hu Liuniang's beauty, broad means and friendship make her reputation more famous than anyone else in the Eight Hundred Li Taihang, and even Lu Yao has heard of it.
Hu Liuniang walked into the yard with a sarcastic voice, saying, "Pei Lang, you have been back in just three days... Could it be that you miss me?"
At some point, Pei Langjun stood at the door of the main house. He said with a cold face: "Hu Liuniang, don't play this trick in front of me. The guide you found to kill money has been killed by us. Without a guide, what else can I do besides returning to Funiu Village?"
"Pei Lang, don't be upset." Hu Liuniang curled her body and bowed, but her words seemed a little frivolous: "If there is no guide, I'll find it for you again. What's the matter..."
"Do I still dare to use the guide you found?" Pei Langjun frowned and slowly walked down the stairs.
Hu Liuniang asked innocently: "Why did Pei Lang say this?"
For some reason, Pei Langjun seemed to be inconsistent with the leader of the Funiu Village, and he was very angry when he spoke: "The guy named Su is a capable subordinate of your Funiu Village. How could he dare to attack Pei? How could he know it was not your Hu Liuniang's instruction?"
Hu Liuniang smiled and said, "Oh, Pei Lang suspected me..." She patted her bulging breasts: "I'm going to be sad!"
Another thud came from beside him, and He Yun accidentally dropped the bucket into the well again. For this young man with strong energy, Hu Liuniang's every move, every look, expression, and even the voice of her speech were full of temptation. This made Xue Tong unable to bear it anymore. He slapped He Yun's back of the head with a slap, staggering the young man who was fascinated by beauty.
Pei Langjun held his forehead, but felt extremely headache: "Master Hu Dazhai, can you speak seriously?"
Wang De, Wei Xuan and other guards looked at each other, intending to stand up for their master, but they had no choice.
"Oh..." Hu Liuniang sighed, "Pei Lang, you are a rich and noble family, and you don't know the suffering of us wandering souls in the mountains."
"You people who don't accept Wang Hua are the most free and easy. What are the difficulties?" Pei Langjun sneered.
"Those who live in this Taihang Mountain are all poor people who can't live outside the mountain. Since they have come up to the mountain, there is nothing left, and only a bad life is left. If you do something wrong, you can only use your life to fill it out. So Pei Lang, you deserve it, you should kill Boss Su and others, and I, Hu Liuniang, will never be said. If Pei Lang thinks this is not enough..."
In Hu Liuniang's slender hand, a sharp short knife with a faint green light appeared: "I, Hu Liuniang, have only one life, you might as well take it."
As soon as these words came out, the yard suddenly felt cold.
The Master Hu Dazhai was still the bright and radiant leader of Hu Dazhai, but this short knife reminded everyone present: There are not only warm and fragrant peach blossom barriers in Funiu Village, but also deadly swords that kill without blinking. In the depths of Taihang where the emperor is far away, the power represented by Pei Langjun is not as powerful as they imagined.
"Why should the leader of the big village be like this? My Hedong Pei family and Funiu Village have always been friendly, so we can't hurt our family's harmony because of the villain." Wang De gritted his teeth and came out to relax his cheeks.
Hu Liuniang's eyes were circulating, but she didn't take Wang De seriously. She pursed her lips and said to Pei Langjun: "Pei Lang, you have been wandering in the mountains these days. I'm afraid you don't know the changes in the situation at the foot of the mountain, right? Pei Lang learned that tens of days ago, the imperial army was defeated in Daling, and tens of thousands of heroic troops were all destroyed in one day. Ma Teng, the Japanese company, was afraid of the enemy and fled to Shandong with 20,000 military and civilians in Bingzhou. From Shangdang to the south to the emerging Bingzhou counties in the north, all of them were already surnamed Liu."
The news of the defeat of the King of the Army had been informed by Lu Yao about Pei Langjun and others. However, Sima Teng, the governor of Bingzhou, actually led the military and civilians of Bingzhou to flee. This is a new and even more unbearable bad news.
Everyone understood that the founding of the dynasty began with the former Emperor Wei emperor who named Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Leping and other counties in Bingzhou, and named Emperor Wen of Jin Duke. Therefore, Bingzhou was the foundation of the great Jin Longxing, and its political significance was extraordinary. Furthermore, Bingzhou was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its power over the border, overlooking Luoyang, and its geographical location was extremely important, and it was also produced by elite soldiers and generals. Once Bingzhou is lost, its influence will never be limited to the land of a state. In Hebei, Neiki and other places, I am afraid there will be no peace again.
The more serious problem is: Hu Liuniang and others were originally not tolerated by the abandoned people of the court, and many even had deep hatred with the court. When the court had strong control over the local area, they could only hide in the mountains and were in panic all day long. For example, the high-ranking families of the Pei family in Hedong were driven by gold and silk, and there was no difficulty. However, after the situation in Bingzhou changed drastically, the rise of the Huns and Han Kingdom provided a new trading target for Funiuzhai. Are Funiuzhai and other counterfeit villages on Taihang Mountain still willing to maintain a cooperative attitude as before?
"Very good, I understand." Pei Langjun's already fair face seemed transparent at the moment, with no blood on his face: "Since the Japanese Duke has left Shangdang, it is useless for me to stay in Bingzhou. Liu Niang, Boss Su will not be concerned about you. Please arrange another guide to lead the way, and we are going back to Luoyang."
"It's not difficult to go back to Luoyang." Hu Liuniang's short knife was still in her hand. As she fiddled with her five fingers, the short knife flew and danced between her palms, as if a blue ball of light: "But, things change quickly, but the situation has changed. Now I want to ask Pei Lang to linger here for a few days."
"What does Hu Dazhai mean?" Pei Langjun asked with a serious expression.
Hu Liuniang laughed and said, "Have Pei Lang ever heard of strange goods that are alive?"
Pei Langjun shook his head: "Pei is just an ordinary child of the Pei family in Hedong, how can he say that there is a strange product?"
"Even if Pei Lang has not disclosed his identity, I can guess a little bit. Funiuzhai and the Pei family in Hedong have not been in contact for a day. I know a little about the family background of the Pei characters such as Shu Daogong, Daoqigong, and Yimingong. I have never heard of a young talent like Pei Lang..." Hu Liuniang turned her hand and put away her short knife, and said in a whisper. Wang De, Wei Xuan and other guards immediately moved their positions silently, vaguely separating her from the periphery.
Hu Liuniang took a step back and continued: "It was the youngest sister of Duke Pei Daoqi, who married the prince of Gaomi in the early years of Yuankang. This prince of Gaomi was originally a clan and inherited the title of 5,000 marquis. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the kings of the court fought each other and were chaotic. The prince of Gaomi was promoted step by step, and now he became the ruling minister of the current dynasty and was named King of Donghai. The sister of Duke Pei Daoqi became the princess of Donghai..."
"Enough!" Pei Langjun scolded. With his shout, the guards drew their swords and made a gesture of being able to fight at any time.
Hu Liuniang quickly said: "Pei Concubine has two sons and one daughter. Both of them are mediocre people, so there is no need to say much. It is unusual for her daughter to be named the Lord of Jingling County. According to rumors, this Lord of Jingling County is not only beautiful, but also smart and capable, and is more wise and capable than a handsome man. He is capable of helping the King of Donghai. The conflict between King of Donghai and other royal kings depends on the strength of the Lord of Jingling County."
The guards quickly approached with sharp blades in their hands. Hu Liuniang stepped back step by step, and his words kept saying: "I heard that Luoyang has been in a strange and tragic way over the past few months, and the various factions have fought fiercely with each other. The King of Donghai intends to abolish the imperial guards and completely suppress the court. For this reason, he sent the most trusted county lord Jingling to come to obtain the support of the powerful Bingzhou vassal Dongying Duke... Who knew that Dongying Duke was a waste, and he lost Bingzhou so quickly, but instead left our daughter-in-law in the county lord."
When these words came to an end, Hu Liuniang's back hit the screen wall with a thud. Wang De brought four guards to fan the shape of a fan to surround her in Gaixin. These guards were elite soldiers who had been gathered for decades. They were impeccable, regardless of their personal skills or tacit understanding of cooperation. Five long swords sealed the angle of Hu Liuniang's actions, and the bright sword light only made a shadow in front of her eyes.
However, Hu Liuniang looked at her bright eyes and her expression seemed to have gained the upper hand. She chuckled a few times and said loudly: "I wonder if what I said is right? Prince Jingling?"
Pei Langjun's spirit was still cold, but a hint of flush appeared on her cheeks. I don't know how angry, how shocked, or how shy she brought about by the identity exposure. When she spoke again, her voice became much crisper: "Master Hu, I'm good at seeing."
This is to recognize what Hu Liuniang pointed out. Pei Langjun's true identity was the lord of Jingling County who was regarded as the pearl in his hand by the ruling minister of the dynasty and the Taifu. A noble man with such an identity was really rare. It would have been fine if he had been in the past, but in the current situation, if Funiuzhai captured the Jingling County Lord and presented it to the Huns, it would be very bad.
Although Funiu Village is not known for its force, they are numerous and powerful, and have steep terrain as a means. It is easy to capture Jingling County Lord and others. Unless they are in the first place, they can be exchanged for a glimmer of life by threatening the life of the Great Village Lord.
Wang De's thoughts changed sharply and immediately took action. The long sword made a violent sound of breaking the wind and slashed at Hu Liuniang's left shoulder.
He is the best guard in Sima Yue Mansion of Donghai King, and a master who is proficient in swordsmanship and fist. Otherwise, he would not have become the leader of the escort of the lord of Jingling County. Although this sword was fierce, its intention was to force Hu Liuniang to dodge to the right. Wang De's left palm was in the shape of a tiger claw, and he was ready to go, trying to defeat the enemy with one blow.
However, he underestimated Hu Liuniang after all. Seeing the long sword falling down, Hu Liuniang did not dodge. As her palms turned, a faint green light flashed, and a "chi" sound was heard. The long sword in Wang De's palm was broken into two pieces.
Hu Liuniang's short sword turned out to be a magic weapon that was cut like mud.
Wang De was surprised. The move he had prepared was completely useless. He reacted very quickly and immediately shouted: "Take it!"
Hu Liuniang has good martial arts skills and is even more powerful, and it is not easy to win. Since that's the case, only everyone will join in and strive to win quickly. Even if she is hurt by this beautiful girl like a flower in the process, she will not be able to worry about this much.
Following his order, several other guards rushed forward together.
Although Hu Liuniang held the magic weapon, she could only be an enemy at one time. These guards were proficient in the skills of joining hands and killing the enemy. The four of them approached Hu Liuniang from four angles, which immediately posed a huge threat to her.
Hu Liuniang's response strategy was very simple. She put the short knife into her sleeve and gently patted her hands. The screen wall behind her collapsed.
Amid the loud noise, thick smoke rose. Dozens of strong men walked across the broken walls and ruins with long spears and axes in hand.
"Come back!" With the order from the Lord of Jingling County, the guards quickly retreated. Since Funiu Village was prepared, if they did not retreat, they would immediately end up being dismembered by the corpse.
In the smoke and dust, Hu Liuniang sneezes two loudly. She took out a square silk handkerchief from her other sleeve, slapped her body, and said coquettishly: "Old Man Zhang! Why are you doing such a big mess? Do you want to choke me to death?"
The leader of the village held an iron vertebra in his hand and laughed a few times: "Master of the village, how do you deal with these people?"
