An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"How to accomplish all the results in one battle?" Ji Jian frowned slightly and asked calmly.

"The strength of horse thieves is better than riding skills. In the wilderness, even ten times the thieves can't stop them. If there are no horses, one horse thieves and three young men are enough to deal with them." Ji Changhe also imitated his father and looked at the white horizon outside the window. , said in a deep voice.

"Horse thieves, horse thieves, if they have no horses, they are ordinary thieves and are naturally easy to deal with. But how can we make them have no horses?" Ji Jian frowned.

"Use the trick!" Ji Changhe smiled slightly and said confidently: "If we really want to capture Changle Town, the horse thieves will definitely come out in force. We might as well ask Uncle Zheng to send people to sue for peace at that time, and introduce the horse thieves into the town to entertain them. We can hide in secret When an ambush is laid, even if the horse thieves are vigilant and refuse to dismount, the horses will not be able to run away in the town. Once the horses are frightened, chaos will inevitably arise. At that time, I will lead all the young men in the town to fight from both sides, and we will be able to eliminate these disasters. "

Ji Jian nodded slightly and sighed slightly, "The plan is a good one, but it is also a dangerous one. You can't come forward, I will arrange it myself. You should pay attention to the movements of the horse thieves. If this plan fails, you will take your sister and leave Changle Town immediately. !”

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Fu woke up. His head was still a little dazed. It took a while before the feeling slowly faded away.

Opening his eyes and looking around, Xu Fu found himself in an old low house, surrounded by neatly piled firewood. A rusty iron chain as thick as a thumb was locked on his wrist, and the other end was buried in the ground at an unknown depth. .

"What's going on?" Xu Fu tried his best to recall what happened last night, eating rabbits, entering a restaurant, catching horse thieves, then sleeping on a comfortable bed, and then...

"Could it be that I scared away the fox and Zheng Quan took revenge?" Xu Fusi thought about it. He had just arrived in Changle Town, and it seemed that he had offended Mr. Zheng.

With a creak, the door of the wooden house opened, and what Xu Fu saw was none other than Zheng Quan, which confirmed Xu Fu's idea.

"Isn't it just a fox? Are you too stingy?" Xu Fu curled his lips disdainfully. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another person walking in behind Zheng Quan. This person was much taller than Zheng Quan. He stood almost straight. It was about to hit the roof of the woodshed. A scar was drawn from the center of his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth. After entering the house, he looked at Xu Fu with a ferocious smile.

"It's you!" Xu Fu was deeply impressed by the person in front of him. Isn't it the horse thief he captured last night?

"I didn't expect it, uncle, I am indeed very valuable, but it's a pity that you lost your life to take it!" As soon as the man spoke, Xu Fu smelled a strong smell of alcohol lees.

"Kill this boy to death and drink with his heart and soul!" Seeing Xu Fu's appearance at this time, the horse thief was in a good mood. After saying this viciously, he walked out of the woodshed laughing.

"Yes." Zheng Quan didn't have the arrogance of last night at this time. He followed Scar Horse Thief obediently. He just glanced at Xu Fu with some schadenfreude before going out.

Xu Fu was confused. Why did the captured horse thief let go and became a distinguished guest? He, the hero who caught the horse thief, did not receive the reward, but became a prisoner.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw someone walking in with a food box. He came to Xu Fu, opened the food box, and took out a large bowl of rice, a cooked chicken, a plate of sauced meat, and a plate of vegetables. , and finally brought out a large bowl of soup.

"Eat well and go on the road." The man left the woodshed without saying a word.

"On the road? On what road? Do you really want to drink with my heart?" Xu Fu was stunned for a while, and then he felt relieved. Today is different from the past. He is no longer the cowherd boy who can be manipulated at will. What's so good about it? Scared!

"Eat first and then talk about it." Xu Fu didn't feel very hungry at first, but when he saw the food in front of him, his stomach suddenly felt empty, as if he hadn't eaten all day, and he didn't know where all the food he had eaten yesterday had gone.

Xu Fu ate the food with big mouthfuls, and the chains rattled. Although it was a little cold, to Xu Fu a few days ago, this was a delicacy that he might not have eaten even during the Chinese New Year. He had only eaten a few delicacies, and he was still Don't be so quick to become cunning.

In less than a stick of incense, there was only a pile of clean chicken bones in front of him, and only a chicken paw was left in Xu Fu's hand and gnawed slowly.

Xu Fu stood up and stretched. His other hand grabbed the iron chain locked in his hand. He lifted it with a little force. He wanted to try to see if he could break the iron chain. Unexpectedly, the ground under his feet became loose. , and with more force, a stone lock two feet long and one foot wide was pulled out from the soil.

Xu Fu picked up the stone lock and weighed it. It was not heavy and seemed pretty good to hold for self-defense. Xu Fu threw the stone lock towards the door. With a "pop" sound, the wooden door broke into several pieces. He pulled it again and the stone lock was broken again. Fly back.

Xu Fu's face was filled with surprise. The stone lock and iron chain worked surprisingly well.

With a chicken paw in one hand and a stone lock in the other, Xu Fu walked out of the woodshed in a grand manner.

As soon as he went out, he saw two people holding knives and staring at him warily. The breaking of the door just now was a bit scary, but these two people didn't dare to act rashly.

Xu Fu threw the stone lock and easily knocked the two of them unconscious. Under Xu Fu's extraordinary strength, the two of them had no power to fight back.

"Let's find out what's going on first!" Xu Fu gnawed on the chicken feet and climbed over the wall out of the yard. Before he could figure out his position, Xu Fu heard the sound of horse hooves and hurriedly ran over.

Xu Fu wrapped the chain around his arm, quickly climbed up to a roof, lay on it and looked down. I saw a lot of people standing on both sides of the rather spacious street, seeming to welcome the few people on horseback.

"Which one is Ji Jian?" A tall, thin, white-faced man shouted immediately.

"That's it." A middle-aged man with a good appearance stepped forward and answered with his hands in hand.

"Mr. Ji, King Liu of Matishan is so polite." The man bowed his hand casually on the horse.

"Brother Wang is polite, but I wonder where the leader of the Zhu clan is? Ji has prepared a small amount of wine, and hopes that the leader of the Zhu clan and the other brothers will show their respect." Ji Jian asked respectfully.

"The gang leader values ​​brotherhood most. He originally wanted to massacre the town and rescue the people. Fortunately, Mr. Ji's people arrived in time!" Wang Liu said this in an understatement, talking about killing people as if they were swatting a fly to death. , many people felt that the soles of their feet became weak when they heard this.

"Brother Wang, can you help spread the word that Ji has hosted a banquet to entertain the brothers in Matishan? This can be regarded as an apology to the leader of the Zhu clan." Ji Jian said again.

"It would be easy for the gang leader to come, but I'm afraid it would be difficult to leave." Wang Liu sneered.

"What did Brother Wang say?" Ji Jian's face changed drastically.

"Master Ji is not as down-to-earth as Master Zheng!" Wang Liu saw the commotion among the people in front of him, and his eyes became cold, "If Master Zheng hadn't reminded us, our gang leader might have fallen into your trap. ."

"What did Brother Wang say? There must be some misunderstanding!" Ji Jian's heart was already cold and he was about to explain.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. I'm just here to give you a message. From now on, each household in Changle Town will be given four taels of silver per month. They will be sent to Horseshoe Mountain on the first day of every month. If you lose a penny, we will settle the old account with the new account. Count together!" Wang Liu turned his horse around, glanced at the people accompanying him, and shouted loudly: "Where's Lao Ba? Why haven't you come here yet?"

"coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the scarred horse thief walking drunkenly from the side, and there was another person behind him leading the horse and carrying the knife.

"If we leave, I have to go back to find the gang leader to recover my life!" Wang Liu said.

"Wait a minute, I haven't killed that kid yet!" Scar Horse Thief shouted loudly, "I want that... that kid's heart and soul to drink."

"Your Majesty, your heart and soul are being retrieved, or your servants are afraid of dirtying your horse, so they dare not send it to you until it is clean." Zheng Quan leaned out from the side and bowed.

"Zheng Quan, you guys..."

Now that this plan was ruined by the Zheng family and his son, Ji Jian was struck by lightning. After hearing Zheng Quan's words, he felt a surge of energy and blood. He stumbled and almost fell down. Fortunately, someone behind him quickly supported him.

"Uncle Ji, there is no need to offend the kings because of an outsider. Our Zheng family... Ouch!" Zheng Quan said with peace of mind. Just as he was about to take this opportunity to express his loyalty, he suddenly let out a scream.

Everyone was puzzled, and even the horse thief was shocked.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Quan's entourage hurriedly stepped forward.

Zheng Quan screamed loudly like a cramp: "My butt! My butt!"

When everyone heard this, they saw that there was indeed something stuck in Zheng Quan's butt. A follower hurriedly reached out and pulled it out from Zheng Quan's butt, which made Zheng Quan howl more ferociously and everyone frowned. This Zheng Quan usually always Together with Ji Changhe, he is known as the "Double Show of Changle". Now, at first glance, he is just a spoiled young man.

"bone?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after seeing the foreign object in the follower's hand. Bones can actually be used as hidden weapons?

"Who?" Wang Liu, who was on the horse, suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted sternly. Everyone looked around and started talking.

"No need to look for it, it's here!" Xu Fu climbed down from the roof in front of everyone's astonished eyes. After staring for a while, he already understood the whole story. Ji Jian originally wanted to trick the horse thief leader into killing him, but he was told the secret. Now he can only let the horse thief lion speak freely.

"You're not dead yet?" The scarred horse thief on the side saw this and wanted to get his knife. Unfortunately, he drank a little too much and stumbled, falling directly on the person carrying him.

"Tie him up and take him back." Wang Liu looked at Xu Fu and saw that although he was thin, he could carry the huge stone lock effortlessly. He was obviously quite capable. No wonder Lao Ba suffered a loss.

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell Mr. Ji. Our gang leader heard that your wife is a rare beauty and is willing to take her as his concubine. After this is done, the Ji family and Matishan will be in-laws, so there will be no need for any future benefits. Say more. The leader of the gang also said that if his wife is not seen on the mountain within three days, our gang leader will personally lead the brothers from Matishan to come here to marry us. We hope Master Ji will make arrangements as soon as possible. Wang Liu is here to congratulate Master Ji first. "After Wang Liu finished speaking, he sneered a few times and led several horse thieves away.

Xu Fu, whose hands and feet were tied tightly, was placed on the horse by a horse thief. With the weight of Xu Fu and Shi Suo, the horse underneath him was obviously extremely struggling, and he fell at the end of the cavalry team.

The journey was bumpy, and Xu Fu almost vomited out the meal he had just eaten. He finally made it to Horseshoe Mountain, where he was pulled off the horse.

The horse was taken away, the rope on Xu Fu's feet was untied, and the two horse thieves pushed and pulled him towards the mountain.

In front of him was a winding mountain road, rugged and bumpy. Every dangerous point was guarded. Everyone greeted Wang Liu when they saw him. It seemed that Wang Liu's status in this village was not low.

After turning a few corners, it suddenly opened up. There was a large open space hidden halfway up the mountain. There were more than a dozen thatched huts standing on the open space. The one in the middle was larger than the others. There was a plaque hanging on it that read "Hundred Horse Hall" Three large gilded characters.

Everyone else dispersed here, leaving only the scar-faced horse thief looking at Xu Fu, while Wang Liu entered the Hundred Horse Hall by himself.

After a while, Wang Liu led a tall and mighty middle-aged man out of the hall. I saw that this man was half a head taller than Xu Fu. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was dressed in a strong suit and looked very powerful. He had a vague air of calmness and self-power.

The man walked up to him and looked at Xu Fu expressionlessly.

"This is the leader of my Hundred Horse Gang, leader Zhu San Dao Zhu." Wang Liu introduced from the side.

Xu Fu was not surprised. Looking at Wang Liu's respectful look, he knew that the man in front of him had a high status in the mountain.

"I heard that you have some tricks. Our gang leader cherishes your talents and allows you to join our Hundred Horse Gang. Please thank the gang leader quickly." Wang Liu said sternly.

"Join the Hundred Horse Gang?" Xu Fu was shocked again.

"Gang leader, we can't accept this kid." The scar-faced horse thief was even more surprised than Xu Fu. Hearing Wang Liu's words, he hurriedly shouted.

"We are all brothers from now on, and the previous grudges will naturally be wiped out." Wang Liu said coldly, while Zhu Sandao nodded slightly.

The scarred horse thief glared at Xu Fu fiercely, turned around and walked towards a thatched hut.

"Are you Baima helping to take care of the food? I have a big appetite." Xu Fu asked in a low voice.

"Enough with the wine and meat!" Wang Liu laughed a few times, thinking that Xu Fu had come down, he hurriedly untied Xu Fu's hands and led Xu Fu to a house.

Xu Fu saw the gang leader returning to the hall minding his own business without saying a word. Could he be mute?

Wang Liu led Xu Fu into a thatched house. As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the aroma of meat. He saw a sheep cooking in a big pot and two people in the house were busy steaming steamed buns.

Seeing Wang Liu come in, the two of them stopped what they were doing and saluted Wang Liu.

"This is the new brother. No matter when he comes in the future, he must be fed." Wang Liu looked at the pot and continued: "The meat is almost ready. Let's start with a leg of lamb."

The two of them did not dare to neglect, so they quickly dragged the cooked sheep to the chopping board, cut off a hind leg and brought it to them.

"You're welcome, brother. You eat first while I go do some errands!" When Wang Liu saw Xu Fu's appearance, he knew that this man was really greedy. He became less wary of Xu Fu, got up and left. kitchen.

When Xu Fu saw Wang Liu leaving, he grabbed the mutton leg bone and gnawed it cleanly in a short time.

Xu Fuba smacked his lips, still not finished.

Before he could say anything, another leg of lamb was brought to him. When Xu Fu saw the two cooks smiling, he was not polite and wolfed down the lamb again. Xu Fu didn't feel the heat of the lamb that had just come out of the pot. He just thought his mouth was too small and wanted to eat the whole leg of lamb at once. Pop it into your mouth.

The two cooks saw that Xu Fu had finished another leg of lamb. They stayed for a moment and then simply carried the whole sheep to the table in front of Xu Fu. One of them used a knife to dismantle the mutton bones and mutton for Xu Fu, and the other brought the steamed buns. Mutton soup and several plates of ready-made cold dishes.

Xu Fu was overjoyed. He had steamed buns in one hand, meat in one hand, and a mouthful of broth. It was really a pleasure to eat such a sufficient meal.

Unfortunately, the fun only lasted for a while. Looking at the sheep bones piled up like a hill, Xu Fu patted his belly with great satisfaction.

"Although it's delicious, you must have eaten too much!" Xu Fu was a little embarrassed at first, but then he thought about it and realized that it belongs to horse thieves anyway. Moreover, my grandma has always said that being able to eat is a blessing, and now I am really worthy of my name.

However, his luck seemed a bit scary. The two cooks looked at him in surprise at first, but now they have turned into panic. Xu Fu glanced at them, almost scaring them to their knees, as if Xu Fu would eat them too. As if.

"Stinky boy, get out of here!"

Xu Fu was about to show his kindness to the two cooks when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, and the voice sounded a bit familiar.

Zhengchou had no reason to fall out, so the opportunity came to his door.
