C92 The Foot of the Mountain Was in Trouble

A large group of bodyguards followed behind Dugu Xin. He had been very busy recently because a batch of goods from the Nalan family had been hijacked near the Cold Mountain Temple. It was said that the hijacking group was a new group of bandits. They didn't know the rules of the Gusu City, so it didn't matter if they didn't know the rules. They could teach you.

Dugu Xin was used to being a hands-off manager. He had always been at ease with the Escort Office. Although the bodyguards under him didn't have any outstanding figures, the bandits along the way were all afraid of the big flag they were holding, Dugu.

Not to mention the Gusu, even the entire Jiang Zhe region was well known for its name. However, today was different from the past. This group of bandits said that they wouldn't give him face, so they didn't give him face.

This was the second time. The last time they had passed by, if they had not been on guard, they would have succeeded. However, they didn't make any big movements the last time. This time, it was different. This time, the Dugu family had lost dozens of good horses, and more than a dozen of their brothers were killed. Even the chief bodyguard, Zhang Qing, was captured and brought to the mountain.

It was really like a tiger's head touching the earth. Dugu Xin's mouth was itching, and he wished he could just bite the two rows of teeth in his mouth into pieces. However, it was useless even if he bit the teeth into pieces. After all, this was a matter of the martial arts world. The matters of the martial arts world needed to be solved by the rules of the martial arts world.

Although the Dugu family had opened the Escort Office, Dugu Xin was not a businessman. He would never know how to use money to settle anything. He felt that other than the knife in his hand, nothing else was reliable.

So while he was riding, he also held the steel knife. When the horse reached the bottom of the mountain, Dugu Xin ordered a group of people to lead the horse to a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain. The farmer happily led the group to his own yard.

The courtyard was very large, enough to accommodate a dozen horses drinking water and eating grass at the same time. It seemed that there were many different guests here. The farmer's house was an old man in his early sixties. The old man skillfully drove the horses to the grass shed, then walked into the kitchen. After a while, he also brought out more than ten bowls of tea one by one.

"Old man, let me ask you, this mountain has been peaceful recently. " Dugu Xin was very satisfied with the old man's behavior. He drank the water and asked while throwing a silver ingot over.

The old man smiled and pointed at the mountain road. " I have lived here for my entire life. I have met many customers and merchants. Usually, this mountain is considered quiet. Only these few days, an unknown king of a mountain came and said that he wanted to contract the entire mountain. This isn't right. A few days ago, there were people who came over to collect money from this old man. "

"Oh? Old man, do you know where these people came from?" Dugu Xin asked.

The old man shook his head. " I don't know about that. However, life in the mountains is the same for everyone. After King Zhang left, King Zhao came again. Who knows? This King seems to be a bit different this time. He seems to be a saber user!"

Dugu Xin almost jumped up when he heard the word saber user. He slammed the table and said angrily, This king seems to be a bit different. He seems to be a saber user! " This is really an f * cking disgrace to saber users. How can a bandit like this be considered a saber user?"

The old man was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back and nodded. " Yes, yes, yes, this guy is not worthy of being a Blade Master. The blade artists in Gusu City are all thinking for the sake of us common people. Especially that blade artist from the Dugu family. He's the one who helps the world. He's not like them. "

When Dugu Xin heard this, he could not help but feel happy. " What? Old man, you have also heard of the swordsman from the Dugu family?"

"Look at what this old man said. Who doesn't know about the reputation of the Dugu family? It's said that the entire Gusu is now ruled by the Dugu family. " The old man clapped his hands and said.

Dugu Xin expressed his satisfaction. Seeing that the sky had already darkened and there were no decent families of wine around, he smiled and said, " To tell you the truth, we are the blade artists of Dugu family.

The old man was shocked. " Really? You can't lie to the old man. The old man doesn't go out often. So, his eyes aren't good. I can't tell who is better and who is worse. "

Everyone burst into laughter. " Old man, don't worry. We are indeed the blade artists of Dugu family. This man is even more incredible. He is the young master of Dugu family. "

The old man widened his eyes and said with a smile, What?" Aiyaya, this is really amazing. Grandpa Dugu being able to personally come to my lousy place today is truly killing me. "

" Hai, it's just a bit of an undeserved reputation. Old man, it's already late today. I wonder if it's convenient for you to let us stay here for the night? " As soon as Dugu Xin finished speaking, the old man waved his hand continuously.

The old man waved his hand and said, Yes. " No way. How can I have so many honored guests living in my thatched shed? I'm not afraid of losing my life. "

Dugu Xin said with a smile. " Elder, you don't have to worry. We are all people in the martial arts world. We are not that delicate. We just need to lie in a random place for a night. "

The old man still wanted to decline, but Dugu Xin had already walked into the grass shed. " Hmm, I think this place is not bad. Brothers. We'll stay here tonight. What do you think? "

Everyone responded in unison, and the old man narrowed his eyes. " Since that's the case, we'll listen to you. However, you have to keep warm tonight. It's cold in the mountain. "

At this time, someone interrupted: " If a pot of wine were to come at this time, it would be worth it no matter how cold it is. "

The old man quickly said: What?" Oh my, this old man is right. I'll bring the wine for everyone right now. "

Not long after the old man left, There was someone who had Zhang Qing's son. Zhang Jun reminded. " Yes. "

Dugu Xin nodded, but someone immediately objected. " Hey, you don't know how hungry our brothers are, do you? Besides, Don't tell me this old man has a big wine jar at home? I just want to drink some wine at night to resist the cold. "

Dugu Xin also nodded, and Zhang Jun no longer insisted. " That's true. Don't freeze your brothers. It's not a bad idea to drink some wine. "

When the old man walked back, he already had two jugs in his hands. Before he arrived, the fragrance of the wine had already spread to everyone's nose.

One of them said with a smile: " Aiya, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore. Such a fragrant wine, it's practically taking my life "

Another person reproached: " If I had known, I wouldn't have drank so much water. How good would it be to save your stomach and drink this wine? "

The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Hey, it's all wild wine brewed by the mountain people. Don't let everyone laugh at it. Speaking of which, this wine hasn't been opened for more than ten years. "

Dugu Xin smiled and said, " The craftsmanship of the old man is definitely not comparable to those who open hotels outside the mountain. Before this wine has been opened, we are already intoxicated. Not to mention drinking it when it's opened. "

At this time, Zhang Jun walked forward to take a jar of wine. He suddenly realized that the lid of the jar had moved slightly. Usually, this kind of situation would not occur if the bottle was not opened.

Zhang Jun's expression suddenly became very ugly. He suddenly grabbed the old man's clothes and said, "Why is there a sign of the jar opening? Didn't it say that it hasn't been opened for more than ten years? "

The old man was so scared that his face turned ashen. " This, this, this was opened by me just now. "

Zhang Jun furiously said: " Why didn't you open it before us? Why did you open it first? Could it be that you did something to this wine?"

The old man stared at Zhang Jun in shock, then said: What?" This is really unfair to me. This wine has been hidden for more than ten years and has yet to be opened. Naturally, I want to see if this wine can still be drunk. Little brother, I'm about to be strangled to death by you. "

Dugu Xin waved his hand and said. " Sigh, Zhang Jun, don't be so paranoid. What kind of tricks can an old man have? You should quickly come over and drink. "

Zhang Jun looked at the old man sternly. His expression gradually eased up. " Looks like I was wrong. I'm really sorry, old man. " After saying that, Zhang Jun stood alone not far away, staring blankly.

Someone walked up and comforted the old man. Old man, don't be angry. This child is pitiful. His father was caught by bandits a few days ago. He was so anxious that he did such a foolish thing. "

The old man nodded and smiled. " Hey, what a poor child. " After saying that, he went forward and poured a bowl of wine. He walked to Zhang Jun's side and said, " Little brother, don't be sad. Come, drink a bowl of wine to warm your body. "

Zhang Jun turned his head to look at the old man. The old man hurriedly smiled and said, " What's wrong? He even felt that there was something wrong with this wine. Then I'll accompany you to drink a bowl. " As he spoke, he drank the whole night.

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: " The old man is really sorry. Sigh, it's all my fault for being reckless and ignorant. Please don't be so calculative with me. " As he spoke, he took the wine from the old man's hand and drained it in one gulp.

In the middle of the night, Just as the old man said, the night in the mountain was really a bit cold. Even if everyone drank a lot of wine, it wouldn't have any effect at all.

Especially Dugu Xin. He suddenly felt his whole body trembling. He had truly woken up from the cold. At this time, a burst of noise suddenly came from the courtyard, as if someone was talking.

"We agreed to knock them all down. Just give me a hundred taels of silver. Hurry up and take the money. " This was clearly the voice of the old man during the day.

"I knew you were a money-grubber. Take it and take it. It'll be enough for you to die. " Another person said.

The old man took the silver and weighed it in his hand. He smiled and said: "Alright, I'll leave this to you. "

Another person asked, "How's the weight of your medicine? Don't wake me up in the middle of the night. "

The old man scolded: " F * ck you, my medicine is enough to make a hundred big men sleep for three days and three nights, these ten people are nothing"

Dugu Xin did not drink much during the day because his injuries had not fully healed, so it was inappropriate for him to drink too much. He did not expect to wake up at this moment. So it was not because he was frozen. It was because the drug had started acting up, causing the wounds on his body to hurt again.

When he heard these words, the anger in his heart had already reached his throat. He was only a step away from killing the people outside. He was just about to get up when suddenly, his shoulder was pressed down by someone. It was Zhang Jun.

"What about you?" Dugu Xin was about to ask when Zhang Jun shook his head and indicated for him to keep his voice down. "I didn't drink that glass of wine at all. I knew this guy didn't have good intentions. It seems that it is true. "

"You knew about it long ago? Then why didn't you say so earlier? What do you think we should do now? " Dugu Xin said anxiously.

Zhang Jun sighed. " Everyone wouldn't believe me even if I told them. Even I'm just guessing. I see that the old man's waist is sometimes bent and sometimes he can stand up straight. And his posture of holding the wine is definitely not the same. It's an ordinary farmer, but a swordsman "

Dugu Xin smiled. " You're amazing. Why didn't I notice you? It seems like a tiger father doesn't have a son. You are also a talent. "

Zhang Jun shook his head and said," That is because something happened to my father. I absolutely cannot let my guard down. How can my two moves of saber techniques enter your eyes? "

Zhang Jun's words suddenly reminded Dugu Xin. It turned out that he used to think that a person was talented. He was talking about this person's blade technique. As long as the blade technique was outstanding, He would look at all of them in a different light. As for a person like Zhang Jun who had average saber techniques but was full of wisdom, he couldn't even be bothered to look at him.

Dugu Xin nodded and said in shame, Yes. " It seems that I was wrong in the past. You can rest assured from now on. As long as you continue to work in Dugu family, I promise you that I won't let you suffer any losses. "

"Who is it?!" Someone suddenly shouted from outside. Zhang Jun quickly pushed Dugu Xin down and pretended to be the king. Who is it?!" Yes!"

That old man was also shocked for a moment before he suddenly reacted. What?" Hey, you're talking in your dreams. Just relax and bring them up the mountain. Nothing will happen to them. Besides, Isn't your king very powerful? Will these guys be able to handle him?"

That person said, " That's our King's saber technique. In my opinion, there aren't many people in the entire Gusu who can compare with him. Not to mention Dugu Xin, even his father is here. I think he will suffer. Our king is finding it troublesome. That's why he's here. . . "

The old man smiled. " The old man smiled and said, Alright, alright. Hurry up and instruct your men to carry him. "

Dugu Xin still wanted to move, but Zhang Jun whispered, " Since we can't find their lair, we might as well play along and let them take us there by themselves. I think they must think that we've all been knocked out, so they won't be too wary. "

Dugu Xin nodded and said, Yes. " We will definitely be able to break out of the mountain after we rescue Escort Zhang. "

As expected, the group of people were very confident in them. Even the rope that tied them up was loose. It didn't seem to matter. It seemed that this was not the first time this old man had committed a crime. He had probably used this method many times and had a good reputation in the industry.

Dugu Xin closed his eyes, but he was feeling ashamed in his heart. " If I can get through this safely, I must be more careful in the future. Sigh, Zhang Jun is a genius. He is not any worse than his father. I will take good care of him when I have the chance in the future. "

The mountain path was rugged and uneven. Although they all had their eyes closed, But would Zhang Junhe, Dugu Xin, also squinted his eyes to look at the surrounding mountains? It could be said to be a marvelous work of art. In just a few short days, The mountain path here was already well-built, especially the few large caves that entered the mountain. After being modified by them, it had become an easy to defend and difficult to attack military land. It seemed that this new Mountain King was definitely not an ordinary person.
