please make me king

Chapter 1253

As the saying goes: poor mountains and bad waters make troublesome people.

From Taiyuan to the west, there are many mountains, which belong to the central part of the Luliang Mountains. People at that time called it Jiaoshan.

There is a saying in the later "Jiaoshan Pingkou Benmo": from Jiaoshan to the south, there are Wangshan, Guashan, and Shibi; Shixia, Lantuan, Shilou, Luya, Guancen and other mountains;
From Jiaoshan to the west, there are three cliffs, Heiheiyan Cave, Lianyin, Xiaowen, Liu Wangjun, Luliang in Yongzhou, Lishi, and Zijin in Linxian County, stretching for more than a thousand miles. Jin people collectively named it Jiaoshan.

It starts from the provincial capital of Taiyuan in the east, extends to the Yellow River in the west, touches Jiaocheng, Fenzhou, and Xiaoyi in the south, and spans Sanguan, Xin, and Dai in the north, including Yongning, Kelan, Jingle, Lin, and Lan. .

It has been a hot spot for thieves in the past dynasties, but the mountains under the jurisdiction of Jiaocheng are especially steep and full of thieves.

It is said that Song Xiance and Wukong bid farewell to Zhang Shun, and first took a boat down the Fen River to the junction of Jiaocheng and Wenshui, then abandoned the boat and changed horses, and headed west.

The two walked for more than ten miles, bypassing Kaizha Town in Wenshui, and went to Wenyukou.

Song Xiance and Wukong looked up, and there was indeed a good place to go.

I saw that the mountain is a good mountain, and the water is a good water.

The mountain is steep and steep, stretching from day to day, without seeing the edge, and there is a trail sandwiched between it; the water gurgles out of it, surging and surging.There are many weeds and grass on both sides of the road, and there are few people.

If Zhang Shun came here at this time, he would definitely open his mouth to make fun of it.

It's just that Song Xiance and Wukong are two rough people, how could they think so much?

The two of them had just reached the entrance of the mountain when they saw five or seven soldiers guarding there with knives and guns.

Seeing Song Xiance and Wukong approaching, those soldiers couldn't help stepping forward and shouting: "You man, don't come any closer. You can get in from this mountain, but you can't get out. It's better to turn around quickly!"

Seeing someone blocking him, Wukong stared at him and was about to go forward to have a good fight, but Song Xiance stretched out his hand to stop him, and then stepped forward and sang: "I'm sorry for the trouble, the poor one is a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain!" , passing by Baodi, please make it easy."

Song Xiance's so-called "Wudang Mountain" is naturally not the "South Wudang" that later generations called "Northern Shaolin", but the North Wudang located in Yongning Prefecture.

This North Wudang is just west of Jiaoshan, and now they are just east of Jiaoshan.

If the two of them want to get here, they need to climb over mountains and mountains for [-] miles along the Wenshui River Valley.

When those soldiers heard that they were the "Taoist of Wudang Mountain", their tone became much more friendly.

They couldn't help admonishing them: "You are also a local, you must know that the 'Jiaoshan bandits' are powerful. Why don't you detour to other places, so as not to lose your life in vain."

"The mountains are connected with mountains, and the road is winding. If the two of us took a detour, wouldn't it be an extra hundred miles?" Song Xiance smiled wryly.

"Please, everyone, let us go there. If someone really lost his life because of this, it's because of our fate, so we can't blame you!"

As Song Xiance said, he took out a stack of ghostly painted talismans and distributed them to everyone, saying: "The old Taoist priest is poor, and he has nothing to give to you. Only these a few safe talismans were drawn by me. I can't tell you how to return them at critical times." If it can save a few lives, I would like to ask for your convenience."

"Okay, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost, go, go!" Seeing that they couldn't persuade the two, the soldiers waved their hands impatiently and let them pass.

Not to mention how grateful Song Xiance was, the two got on their horses and walked all the way to the depths of Jiaoshan along the path of Wenshui River Valley.

Song Xiance and Wukong rode fast for three days, covering a mountain road of more than [-] miles. The mountain in front of them became more and more steep, so they had to dismount and walk.

Not long after they got off their horses and walked, they saw a mound on the bank of Wenshui in the distance, about ten feet high, with some houses on it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Xiance couldn't help but said to Wukong: "There seems to be a village in front, it's just right for the two of us to go and spend the night."

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Wukong Yigao said boldly and without fear.

Not long after, the two finally climbed up the mound and took a closer look.

This is not a village, it is the ruins of a camp fort.

It turned out that there were ruins and ruins everywhere on this mound, and there were smoky traces and blackened blood stains on these ruins.

"Tsk tsk, it's really cruel!" Song Xiance stretched out his hand to pick up a little soil, and twisted it with his hands.

"Niubi, look!" Just as Song Xiance was carefully observing the situation on the mound, he suddenly heard Wukong shout.

"You bald donkey." Song Xiance was about to retort, but when he turned his head to look, he couldn't help being surprised.

It turns out that this mound is backed by a mountain and fronted by Wenshui. It is condescending and has a wide view. It is a good place to go.

Then Song Xiance saw several riders descending Wenshui, not afraid of the steep mountain and steep terrain, galloping towards the mound.

"Do you want to be them!" Wukong made a gesture to Song Xiance, without the slightest mercy of a monk.

"It's up to me to speak, and up to you to do it!" Song Xiance frowned and said, "As long as they don't do it first, we won't do it first."

For Song Xiance, what he likes most is the "rule-abiding" opponent, and what he hates the most is the "unruly" opponent.

Thinking back to when Song Xiance dared to enter the Longtan and Tiger Caves in Yulin City back then, it was because he knew that these people were "face people", and as long as they could speak well, the matter would be half successful.

These people are different, they are "rule breakers".

If he had no one to protect him, he might have been chopped up before he found the "talker". This was one of the reasons why he asked Zhang Shun for Ji Longfeng.

"You're so brave, where did you get the fat sheep?" Not long after, the cavalry also climbed up the mound, they saw that Wukong was tall and burly, and they didn't dare to move, so they asked.

"The [-]th Battalion leader of the Rebel Army, King Shun and Fengtian Advocate President of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, North Zhili, one capital, military administration and justice, etc., under the command of the great national teacher Song Xiance and Monkey King Sun Wukong are here, ordered to come here Xuan Yu, where is Ren Liang?" Song Xiance couldn't help but proudly said.

If you don't speak up, I'm still afraid of you. As long as the old Taoist is willing to let me speak, then everything will be under control.

Song Xiance's speech was like a stand-up comic, and he bluffed the crowd all of a sudden.

"This" all the riders looked at me and I looked at you, and were dumbfounded for a moment.

"Speaking without proof, don't blame me for being cautious. If you are full of beards, wouldn't you kill us?" It took a long time for someone to react, and said hastily.

"Have you heard of Wang Gang, He Caodi, and Baowu?" Song Xiance sneered and asked.

"How many of them? They all died early!" These cavalry pawns couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing.

"Since my national teacher is here, don't you know what will happen to them?" Song Xiance said in an indifferent way.

"These few are nothing more than Li Zicheng's assistant generals under the command of 'Breakthrough General' Li Zicheng. They have no future and are not reused, so they are stranded in the mountains."

"And the 'Crossing General' Li Zicheng is just a general under the command of King Shun of my family. I wonder if your gourd king has the guts not to come to see me?"

Those cavalry pawns couldn't help but gasped, and almost pissed on the spot.

Do you know why?

It turned out that after the Shaanxi rebels crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, Ren Liang and a group of people responded to the army.

If you talk about it carefully, they are just the descendants of Wang Gang, He Caodi, Bao Wu and others.

After all, Wang Gang, He Caodi, Baowu and others died at the hands of officers and soldiers in the past two years. Ren Liang and others survived, and they never thought of a "grandpa's grandpa". How can they stand it?
