Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 221 Bandit Den

This cave on the top of the mountain, where you can have a panoramic view of most of the oasis, is nearly 300 meters high and more than 1000 meters deep.Except for the flat center of the ground where you can move and walk, there are many stalactites growing in the rest of the place. The stalactites on the top of the cave are densely packed like countless sharp swords hanging above everyone's heads. The stalactites are polished into many places where you can sit, lie down, and store things. At this time, hundreds of warriors and generals in armor are making a scene while drinking wine and eating meat. There are also people holding the graceful woman up and down, the only thing that is vacant is a very wide stone couch directly in front of a row of steps, presumably it should be the throne of Empress E, and it is high enough to have a panoramic view of the entire cave .

Seeing E Niangniang leading a group of experts and unfamiliar guests, the people who were having fun here either crooked or stood up straight.

E Niangniang smiled, stepped a little, landed on the highest throne, half lying down and said: "Get to know each other slowly, now continue to eat and drink."

Everyone cheered, and a group of masters who had already fought fiercely with Fang Jie and others took Fang Jie and others to sit near Empress E, and immediately there were more than a dozen fair and tender girls with their waists twisted against a Altar wine, and a dozen big men holding a door-like wooden plate filled with meat came in one after another from the outside, and then put the half-person-high wine jar and whole cows on Weiwei In front of Fang Jie and others who were stunned, as E Niangniang grabbed a jar of wine and directed it towards everyone, everyone including Fang Jie and others picked up the jar of wine and began to drink and eat.

E Niangniang announced to everyone: "I have a happy event to tell everyone, that is, the lion tiger, a master of the Southern Barbarian coalition who killed many of our brothers, was just a few hundred miles away from Longevity Mountain. , Brother Fang Jiefang, friends of the Sword Alliance who are directly related to the Emperor Dao, kill them!"

Hearing this, the rest of the people who did not leave with E Niangniang and others were stunned for a moment, and then burst into even more enthusiastic cheers. Most of them rushed to Fang Jie and the members of the Sword League, offering a toast to each other with a bowl of wine. As a result, Fang Jie and the members of the Sword League soon became overwhelmed.

Suddenly, a well-dressed general who was not too sloppy smashed a wine bowl and said to Empress E, "Madam, since the lion and tiger have been killed, the Nanman camp is in chaos now, and there are no second-level masters." Sitting in town is the perfect time for us to counterattack!"

Hearing this, the rest of the martial artists from Longevity Mountain stopped one after another, and Fang Jie and the Sword League disciples also became quiet for some reason.

E Niangniang watched the arrival, she was silent for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "I hope General Wang will not forget that we went to the battlefield because we wanted to protect the Longevity Mountain, not to kill the Nanman. Fight in blood."

A warrior who had been following E Niangniang also said: "General Wang's pain of bereavement, we dare not say that we feel the same, but at least we and General Wang have the same hatred for Nanman. Please Wang Jianjun believe that there is no one here who is not like General Wang. Nanman is driven away, and I ask General Wang to wake up and deal with the people blocking our door."

When General Wang heard what the warrior said, he immediately yelled at the warrior with red eyes: "You mean I'm here to avenge myself?"

"No." The warrior replied, "I mean you don't want to be dazzled by hatred."

Another warrior stood up and said: "General Wang has fought in battle, so he doesn't know what to do at this time? I want to ask you, do you really think we should fight back now?"

General Wang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to give an affirmative answer, but under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he still couldn't say "yes" in the end.

The previous warrior asked: "Counterattack, what can we gain? There is a desert outside the Long Live Mountain, and we don't need to 'recover' the lost land for Lu Guo. Not to mention that even if we counterattack, we will win a big victory, or simply kill all the Nanmans." There are millions of troops, but they will be supplemented by millions of troops soon after, so what is the point of what we are doing?"

Another warrior said: "That's right. Although our Long Live Mountain is part of a country, it has been a country of its own for many years. Facing the invasion of the Nanman, we have not allowed the Nanman people to step into the Long Live Mountain, because every inch of the Long Live Mountain The land is worth fighting for our soldiers, people, and warriors, but the desert outside and the city land of the Lu Kingdom have nothing to do with us." Then he pointed to the outside of the cave and said: "Now the soldiers and people in Long Live Mountain are all In order to find a refuge, trekking thousands of miles or even thousands of miles into the desert, I don’t know how many people died, and finally some of them came to Long Live Mountain, which is the only place where they can stand. What they want is to live freely, what we want It’s the same with ours. If that’s the case, why should we use our precious lives to do things that have nothing to do with defending Long Live Mountain?”

There was a voice of approval, and General Wang remained silent with a pale face.

Seeing that everyone had said the same thing, E Niangniang sighed at this moment, and said to General Wang: "General Wang, do you know that the only hope for all those who died for the Long Live Mountain and for us is their death, in exchange for Our work includes your son, and those of us who are alive now, one day we would rather die in the face of Nanman, it is also to protect other people from living, and it should not be out of hatred."

In the silence, a martial artist brought a bowl of wine, handed it to General Wang, and said, "When you deserve to die, you die; when you deserve to live, you enjoy yourself in time. Long live the mountain."

With tears in his eyes, General Wang glanced at the warrior, then took it, drank it down, and said to the warrior, "Enjoy yourself in time, Long live the mountain!"

"Long live the mountain!" The same voice resounded throughout the cave, except for General Wang who was still wandering, everyone started drinking and eating meat again.

Fang Ju saw a group of people eating, drinking, making noise, and laughing in a messy bandit den, and then discussing war and decision-making as if they were in the court of the country, and finally returning to the whole process of eating, drinking, and drinking meat. , Realizing the coexistence of free and easy and persistence of these people, I suddenly thought of the three brothers of the gentleman family in Zhonghuangshan, and the three thieves of Loushan.

As for the fall of the enemy's ace fighter, should they gather to counterattack?He felt that if it was placed in the Jin Kingdom, the imperial city would pursue it without hesitation, while Longevity Mountain would adopt the same strategy as usual, focusing on defending Longevity Mountain.There is really no right or wrong for such a completely different attitude, it is just because the soldiers, civilians, and warriors in the imperial city are used to being hostile to Xirong, and even some people regard saving the Central Plains as their own responsibility, of course, kill as much as possible. The people in Longevity Mountain only want to protect the pure land of Longevity Mountain, and enjoy themselves in time every day. No matter what happens in Nanban, they will not rush out of Longevity Mountain and fight bloody battles.The former group gathers in the imperial city of Jin State with hatred and mission, such as Marshal Zhao who is already old but still wants to leave the mountain; while the latter group gathers in Long Live Mountain with the ideal of living freely, such as the general who eliminates the king Besides, everyone including Empress E.The attitude of the majority has become the attitude of a locality, and the attitude of the mainstream determines the external decision-making. It is such a simple matter, and he only just figured it out.

"Brother Fang." Empress E said suddenly.

Fang Jie turned his head.

Empress E pointed to the entrance of the cave.

At this time, the sun was setting outside, and the sun just slanted in, illuminating the entire cave, making every altar of wine and every person covered in gold.

E Niangniang stood up with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to Fang Jie. Suddenly, everyone in Longevity Mountain screamed like chicken blood.

"This is..." Fang Jie was puzzled.

E Niangniang maintained her posture and explained: "There is a custom in this cave. Whenever the sun illuminates the entire cave at sunset, there will be a competition until the sun goes down. I think Brother Fang will not dislike it." I am a womanizer, so reject my challenge?"

Before Fang Jie could speak, an excited man with slanted eyes stood up and said loudly: "Long Live Mountain and Jin Imperial City are both places of heroes in the Central Plains. Fang Jie and Empress E are the Overlord of the Imperial City and the Queen of Long Live Mountain. , I can watch the two of you compete, and I'm not in vain to make a trip to the world!"

Everyone booed immediately when they heard the words, even Jianmeng and others looked at Fang Jie with a smile.

Fang Jie was helpless, thinking that he was happy anyway, and losing was no big deal, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Come on." He said and walked on.

Seeing that Fang Jie was so bold, E Niangniang jumped up and came in front of Fang Jie.

At this time, the two of them were in the flattest open space in the center of the cave, and the screaming bandits all around immediately sent over to surround him.

E Niangniang looked at Fang Jie, and suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Fang is not as strong as me, and he is younger than me. In addition, he is a guest of Longevity Mountain. If we really fight, I will bully your brother Fang too much. We are not as good as us." Let’s keep it simple, one is not allowed to release treasures, two is not allowed to have offensive supernatural powers, just rely on fists and kicks to compete, what do you think of Brother Fang?"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "Yes."

The bandits heard that treasures and offensive magical powers were not allowed, and knew that the range of attack should not be very large, so they squeezed the circle around Fang Jie and E Niangniang to a small size with a "buzz".

Empress E said: "Are you ready?"

square node head.

Empress E suddenly rushed towards her like a gust of wind, her long legs whipped like a whip.Fang Jie raised one hand, and held E Niangniang's ankle with a "snap", then nimbly gave way, and with a throw, E Niangniang was thrown to the top of the cave, on the knife-like stalactites. With a kick, the whole person shot down with a "swoosh", and at the last moment when he was approaching Fang Jie, he turned over and slammed down with a long leg. As the huge force came, both feet fell into the ground below the knees, and the hard ground within a radius of 50 meters was sunken. Immediately after the other leg in the depths, E Niangniang kicked on Fang Jie's hands, bounced out, and landed on the ground. A dozen meters away, he looked at Fang Jie with a smile.

"You are not afraid of strength and reaction. It seems that the usual way to deal with you is useless." E Niangniang said, her body suddenly turned, and the thick braid on her back swept towards Fang Jie.

Fang Jie took a closer look and saw that the end of the thick braid was inlaid with a piece of dart-like iron, knowing that it was difficult to deal with, he kicked his legs immediately, rushed out from the sunken place, and dodged to the side.

E Niangniang's braid was hit empty, and a stalactite was pierced with a "pop", and then the braid was pulled back, and the stalactite was thrown towards Fang Jie.

Fang Jie had just stood still when he saw the stalactite flying towards him and punched it out, smashing the stalactite to pieces, and ushered in the braid behind the stalactite.
