Chapter 175 4

Three days later, the snow will be heavy, the wind will be awearing, the mountains will be like a cluster of jade, the forest will be like silver makeup, and the land in Jeju will be frozen for thousands of miles, and thousands of miles of snow will float.

Because the Liangshan army in Yuncheng has been prepared for a long time, there is no shortage of food, two clothes, and there are few frostbite and starvation. In contrast, the wild army of Maitreya is not so lucky, because I don't know whether the weather has changed, or it is in single clothes, and there is not enough food and grass. After a heavy snow, the sky is cold and the road is slippery. Ice, many soldiers fell ill one after another due to wind and evil.

The Master Maitreya is worried about this matter. He said to whether it is necessary to open the altar at this time, let the religious people see the miracles, be down-to-earth, or open the warehouse and release grain first so that everyone can eat and drink. However, I'm worried that this can only be delayed for a while and not for a long time. After all, lack of food and clothing is not a good thing. Throughout the ages, many people have collapsed because they have no food and no clothes.

Thinking of this, he quickly called the five King Kongs of Maitreya, told them to do so, and told them to make a quick decision on this trip without delay.

The five King Kongs said in unison, "Don't worry, we have magical skills to protect the body. Measure the sick cat in the county. What are you afraid of? If we wait for us to get it, please sit in the wild and wait for the good sound."

Then, the five King Kongs swaggered and left the government office. After returning to the barracks, they ordered their men to bury the pot and make rice quickly. After eating and drinking enough, they rested for a moment. Then they ordered about 600 soldiers. Everyone had to bring a big pocket and a hemp rope, and the main general rode a horse. After leaving the city, the five-way army and horses went all the way east along the icy Zhushui River to Rencheng County at the foot of Yushan Mountain.

Three hours later, these five people came to a place 60 miles southwest of Rencheng County. The name of this place is Zengtou Village. The people in the village are the descendants of Zengzi, a native of the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although they are in a remote place, they are all knowledgeable and reasonable. For hundreds of years, they have been living a peaceful life, even when it comes to a generation of literati in the Song Dynasty. His status is unprecedented, and he does not rely on the name of his ancestors. Instead, he cherishes today's hard-won pastoral life more and more.

Unexpectedly, after the army of Maitreya passed through this place, the quiet life in Zengtou Village was broken. The reason was that when the army of Maitreya passed by the loyal and filial piety temple at the head of the village, they knocked down a virtuous old man in the village. After the old man's family found out, they encouraged the whole village to go out to stop the east and said that they wanted to judge.

You should know that in this world, you can reason with anyone, but you can't reason with the wicked.

The villagers of Zengtou Village, the army that stopped at that time, were Maitreyas dressed in officer clothes. The leading general is the confidant of Maitreya Zhenren, named Xiang Kui. He thinks he is the descendant of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, so he has always been domineering and unscrupulous. Today, I planned to pass through this place quickly and go to Ren County as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by this group of people who didn't know good or evil, which delayed a lot of time. At the critical moment of ice and snow, wasting an extra quarter of an hour will be life-threatening. So this Kui became popular. The whip in his hand rose high, fell down fiercely, and slapped on a young man who was stunned.

Then he scolded, "Get out of here for grandpa, delaying the military and state affairs, and want your heads"

This humiliated young man is not someone else, but the youngest son in Zengtou Village. Zeng An, who has been practicing the book of saints since childhood, worships his ancestor Zengzi very much. Although he knows that these people in front of him are not easy to mess with, out of a kind of scholar's belief and a noble integrity, he also has to rely on courage to learn from the appearance of his ancestors, stand up and tell the truth to others, from Zeng Zi killing pigs to Kong Rong to let pear, and also talk about the affectionate and righteous Taoyuan three brothers, saying that Uncle Liu loves the people as his son. I would rather run with the people of the whole city than leave it to the villain of Cao Cao.

This is not only that. It is also said that in ancient times, there was a clear etiquette and morality, first etiquette and then soldiers. Today, there is a Zhao official family that is benevolence and righteousness in the world. How can you, as an official, how can you not understand benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom and faith so much? If you hit people, you have to deny it? Haven't you read a book?

It's okay if Zeng An didn't say that you haven't read the book, but he said it. Who is Xiang Kui? He is the martial arts on the ground. He hates people saying that he has never read a book. Zeng An's words just hurt his self-esteem. He hated him so much that he clenched his teeth, and the blue veins on his hands burst out, and an anger went straight to his forehead.

It was really unbearable, and the murderous intention suddenly broke out of the embankment. Xiang Kui shouted loudly, and the knife fell in his hand. The knife light flashed, and a red light rushed into the air. What a big living man was split in half. Zeng An's head and half of his body fell on the snow, and a cavity of blood instantly dyed the earth under his feet red.

Zeng An was suddenly killed, and no one can stand the injustice of death. What's more, this Zengtou Village is a family. The officers and soldiers kill people in broad daylight. Is there any king's law?

In an instant, the Zengtou Village opened the pot and blew up the camp. The gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the shouts shook the sky. It seemed that a hurricane blew across the surface of the water, and in an instant there were thousands of big waves. In the blink of an eye, more than 200 people gushed out of the Zengtou Village, holding sticks, bamboo guns, bows and arrows, blocking the entrance of the village, scolding the officers and soldiers too nothing. Human nature actually killed Xiucai. Now they want the murderer to pay for his life, otherwise they will go to Beijing to sue.

Xiang Kui was angry for a moment and scolded with red eyes, "Get out of here. Are you crazy? This boy dares to block the way of the officers and soldiers. He deserves to be executed. Get out of here. Get out of here." After that, it was another whip scrushing.

Xiang Kui's words aroused more disgust from the children of the Zeng family and immediately replied, "You fart. There are still people who don't kill doctors and those who write to the story'. What's wrong with Zeng Xiaodi? You murderer, murderer, get off the horse and die quickly, or I can't wait for you."

"I can't forgive you. Grandpa is really afraid of you birds."

"You are the bird man. There is no good thing for an official. You are a wolf in sheep's clothing, a ghost who eats people and doesn't spit out bones. It's so good to die. Folks, let's catch him together, go..."

Before he said a word, someone took the lead in rushing over from Zengtou Village. Seeing that he was about to come, Xiang Kui suddenly took off two pairs of mace sticks from the saddle bridge and shouted, "On the contrary, it's all the opposite. Kill me, kill into Zengtou Village, and destroy these rebellious people."

The 600-step pawns around Xiang Kui were his cronies. With his order, these soldiers equipped with walking armor and narrow-minded soldiers rushed up and fought with the villagers of Zengtou Village.

At this time, another wave of people and horses in front of them were also killed back. This wave of people and horses was not others. It was the subordinates of Ma Sheng, the second iron hammer general of Xiang Kui's five brothers. Just now, his army crossed the east of the village, and suddenly he heard the loud shouts of gongs and drums behind him. I hurriedly sent someone to inquire. When I heard it, I realized that it was the eldest brother Xiang Kui who fought with the people of Zengtou Village. As the saying goes, fighting brothers, father and son soldiers. The eldest brother is in trouble. As a younger brother, he should take action and share the same hatred.

On this side, Xiang Kui was fighting with the strong men of Zengtou Village. Ma Sheng's men and horses were suddenly killed behind him, and the two men and horses attacked back and forth. More than 200 strong men in Zengtou Village were made dumplings in a blink of an eye. With sticks, bamboo guns and short bows, they were unable to fight against the well-equipped Maitreya army.

After a rag of incense, more than two hundred strong men were killed, and the blood flowed into a river in Zengtou Village. Since the killing has begun, there is no way to control the things behind it. The principle of cutting grass and rooting has been circulating for thousands of years. Everyone knows that Xiang Kui understands this reason and surrounds his subordinates the east-west exit of Zengjia Village and slaughter the village!

The fate of Zengjia Village came to an end at that moment. The old, young, women and children in the village were killed, the houses were burned, the grain and grass, chickens and ducks, pigs and cattle were looted, and half of the property was transported back to the field by the rear team. The remaining half were taken care of by Xiang Kui's rear army, which is the third-ranked double-gun, Zhou Huai's people.

After this incident, another hour passed. Seeing that the wind and snow did not diminish and Zengtou Village had turned into ashes, the Maitreya army had to go on the road again and went straight to the next stop, Jiaxiang Village on the west bank of Huangou.

This Jiaxiang Village is the largest village in Rencheng County. It is located in the key points of waterways and is prosperous. It is rich in carboniferous and various strange stones. In particular, it is most famous for a kind of dolomite, but the locals know very little. Even if the stone is opened and the stone is mostly used to build temples and pave roads, and is rarely used for it. As for the carboniferous, only the monks in the temple will use it.

Because the mine is in the vegetable field behind the temple, which is managed by an old monk looking at the vegetable garden. Most of the things used to make a fire and cook in the temple are mostly coal from the mine. Outsiders don't know it.

The elder host in the temple didn't want outsiders to know the secret. He just wanted to keep it and enjoy it slowly.
