Chapter 60 Black Devil Ridge
"Father, you should be more careful to eliminate the thieves this time. If necessary, you can ask your father to come to help you. Be sure to remember." Long Yaner stood aside and looked at Ling Tianhong, who was tidying up.
"Yan'er, don't worry, don't worry. Do you want to stay in this royal mansion or go with your husband?" Ling Tianhong looked at Long Yaner with a good smile, reached out and stroked the outline of her cheek. Every time he stroked it, there was a faint sadness in his heart, but he couldn't help touching it.
"Yan'er has never left her father-in-law. Naturally, she went with her father-in-law!" Long Yaner blinked her eyes mischievously, and a pair of flexible eyes made Ling Tianhong really want to hug her tightly.
"Okay, so I'm going out for my husband. Are you ready?" Ling Tianhong picked up the piccolo placed on ** and patted it in his hand.
Long Yaner walked to Ling Tianhong and tiptoed to tiptoe and kissed him on his lips: "Although my father-in-law is excellent in martial arts now, he should be more careful. He must ask his father to help him in times of crisis."
"My good lady, if you remember it for your husband, you can stay in your husband's arms at ease. Don't worry about it." Ling Tianhong also dropped a kiss on her lips.
Long Yaner tiptoed up and rubbed her face on his face, and then turned into a light smoke and penetrated into the piccolo in Ling Tianhong's hand.
Ling Tianhong put the Piccolo in his arms, picked up the sword on the table and put it around his waist, and then went out.
Mu Yuchen came face to face: "Big brother, are you ready? The second brother hasn't come out yet.
"Are you ready? Do you really want to go? The third brother should stay in the royal palace! We will be back soon. Ling Tianhong looked at the well-dressed Mu Zhenchen. He was the king of the future Lanqi Kingdom, and he could not make any mistakes.
"The two brothers have gone forward, and the younger brother will naturally follow. The brothers will work together to break the money. Big brother, don't talk about it again. The younger brother has made up his mind." Mu Qichen is very resolute.
"Okay! Remember to be careful and pay more attention. It's hard for Ling Tianhong to see that he is so resolute.
The two went to Langli's room together and walked into the room and saw that Langli was dressed. When Langli saw that the two were ready, he smiled and said, "The eldest brother and the third brother are ready. It seems that I'm still slow."
"No hurry, it's still early to leave." Ling Tianhong leaned against the pillar, and Mu Yuchen sat down at the table. He grabbed a dried fruit and threw it into his mouth. Then he grabbed an apple and threw it to Ling Tianhong.
Ling Tianhong took the thrown apple and played with it in his hand.
"The second brother 'Murong Kuidian' should be hidden, don't lose it." Ling Tianhong reminded him.
"Brother, don't worry, I have hidden it for many days." Langli tidied up his clothes and looked at the two of them.
"The treasure of the Murong family is really powerful. Thank you very much for your teaching. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand it all in a lifetime by relying on the Prince Yu's own understanding." Langli expected that when Prince Yu learned this Kui Dian, he could not understand the crazy appearance, and he would definitely come to him for help.
"After finishing this matter, I have to go back to the Central Plains to get ready first, and let the emperor urge Wu Kui to act in advance. It depends on you, the second brother."
"Brother, don't worry, I will take care of everything here." Langli took off the knife hanging in front of the bed: "Let's go!"
The three of them went out of the door and ran to the barracks.
King Saul found out that there were 300 horse thieves in the Black Devil Ridge, so he sent Langli and Ling Tianhong to lead 500 people to destroy them.
Yawulan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Langli and returned to the palace with an unhappy face.
In front of him is the Valley of Wolves. Langli's thought of the battle between the horse thieves and the wolves in the Valley of Wolves. That scene is still chilling and has lingering palpitations.
Ling Tianhong turned his head and asked the passer-by, "Samba, do you think we can cross the Wolf Valley before dark? You can't spend the night in it."
"As long as there is no delay, it will be able to pass through before dark." Samba rode on the horse side by side with Ling Tianhong and Langli.
Ling Tianhong turned his head and shouted at the 500 cavalry behind him, "Listen, everyone. This is the Wolf Valley. Be sure to cross it before dark, otherwise it will be a big trouble. Try your best to get there quickly and don't delay. If there is any consequences, you will bear it."
The cavalry behind "Yes" shouted in unison.
"Let's go, everyone follow closely." Ling Tianhong and Samba Kuai Ma led 500 cavalry through the valley of wolves.
The valley of wolves is full of wolves. Ling Tianhong, Langli and others have seen it last time. Now they can't be delayed every minute. They have been moving forward quickly. I'm afraid that if an unexpected delay will come, there will be another fierce battle between people and wolves.
Mu Yuchen didn't know the horror of the wolf valley. Although he didn't understand why the eldest brother and the second brother told everyone so much, he also wanted to have their own reason, so he followed them and walked quickly.
The sound of the horses' hoofs of 500 cavalry shocked the birds flying in the forest, which also shocked the small animals on the roadside, and attracted bursts of wolf howling. Although the howling sounded far away, it couldn't help but make people feel shocked.
The group of people successfully crossed the Wolf Valley before dark, and ran dozens of miles before stopping to rest for the night.
A bonfire was lit in the camp.
Ling Tianhong's three brothers roasted wild animals around the bonfire, drank wine and gnawed meat for a while before resting. The next morning, everyone got up and rushed to the Black Devil Ridge before dark.
"It's not far from the Black Devil Ridge. You can't go on the road or you will be found. Now we start to take the forest path directly close to the Black Devil Ridge. When they are sleeping soundly in the early morning, we rush to destroy them in one fell swoop." Ling Tianhong commanded everyone to follow Samba along the path.
Stop at the foot of the mountain of the Black Devil Ridge and rest on the spot. The nearby mountains overlap and overlap, looking around the peaks, surrounded by clouds and fog, and the forest is endless.
It was not until nightfall that Ling Tianhong took everyone to touch the Black Devil Ridge and ambushed near the cottage entrance to wait for the dawn.
The peaks of the Black Devil Ridge are high in the sky, and the cottage is located halfway up the mountain, with only one entrance and exit. The mountain is straight, steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the other side of the cottage is a huge cliff that stands upright, and there is no way to advance or retreat.
In the early morning, as soon as the sky was slightly white, Ling Tianhong and Mu Zhichen turned into the village and quietly cleaned up the horse thief who guarded the village gate. Opening the village door, Langli led everyone into the village and rushed straight to the houses.
The cottage suddenly shouted to kill the sky. The sleeping horse thief woke up and ran out of the door with a knife and was immediately cut to the ground. Without a column of incense, more than half of it had been killed. The corpses could be seen everywhere, and the whole cottage had been dyed red with blood.
The cottage was filled with the smell of blood, and the mountain wind blew through with bursts of blood mist.
Just because Ling Tianhong was unprepared, if he besieged these 500 people head-on, he may not be able to take down these 300 people; some were even killed in their sleep, and most of them were awakened, but they were killed without knowing what had happened.
Ling Tianhong, Lang Li and Mu Yuchen killed all the leaders in the village. The rest were struggling to death, and some directly disarmed and squatted with their heads, waiting for the disposal of Ling Tianhong and others.
The last one was cut to the ground. Ling Tianhong and others checked it and checked the number of people. Except for those who disarmed, all the others had been killed and not missed.
"How to deal with these?" Mu Yuchen pointed to more than a dozen horse thieves squatting on the ground with their heads in his arms.
At this time, a man looked up and said in panic, "Don't kill me. There is still an old mother in my family." After saying that, he couldn't help sobbing and said, "I also had no choice but to be a horse thief and beg you to spare my life."
Ling Tianhong sighed and remembered Hu Yige, who he met at Yanmenguan that day. He also had no choice but to steal because there was an old mother in the family. Now when the thief in front of him mentions that there is also an old mother at home, Ling Tianhong's heart suddenly softened.
"Why did other people become horse thieves? One by one." Langli stepped on the grinding disc on the side and pointed a knife at the horse thief squatting on the ground with his head in his hand.
"I had no food to eat because of my family's poverty, so I had to go up the mountain to become a horse thief."
"I want to support my family..."
"I was caught..."
"..."
"There is a reason for everyone. Let's believe you for a while." Langli waved the knife in his hand and looked at Ling Tianhong: "Brother, how to deal with these?"
"Let it go! Let them all go home and have a good life. No one has an orphan or a widow, and they have no choice but to make a living. Ling Tianhong glanced at the horse thief squatting on the ground: "Get up!"
Ling Tianhong took some of the seized property and gave it to more than a dozen horse thieves: "Go home and be a good life. If you commit it again, I will kill it."
The horse thieves thanked him for taking the property and went down the mountain. One of them stayed: "Can I stay? Now I don't know where to go. I want to be a good person with you.
Ling Tianhong and Langli looked at each other, and Langli then said, "Stay!" Go to the barracks to do some chores or be a soldier.
"Thank you, everyone. The little one's name is Kelang. There's still something else."
"Say it!"
"There are still a group of women caught outside in the dungeon."
"Where is the dungeon?" Ling Tianhong just turned around and didn't find a cell.
"Your excellency, come with me." Kelang led Ling Tianhong and others to a cave behind the house.
Open the wooden door and walked in. The cave was very spacious. There were rows of cells on each side of the cave, and many women were imprisoned. When the women in the cell saw them, their eyes seemed to be very indifferent, and some of them did not even raise their heads.
Ling Tianhong went all the way inside, and there were no more than 30 women imprisoned: "Who are these people? What are they doing?"
"They were all captured from all over the place, and some were robbed from human traffickers; the leader caught them for fun for the brothers." Speaking of this, Kelang's face couldn't help blushing. Ling Tianhong looked at his face and knew what it was to have fun.
I walked to the innermost room, and there was a woman with shackles lying on the ground covered with hay. Her clothes were not neat: "Why is she the only one wearing shackles?"
"This woman has a strong martial arts personality. She was afraid that she would run away, so she put on shackles. She didn't want to be taken back to the room by the three-headed tie. The woman actually abandoned the three-headed collar. After being caught back, the atmosphere of the three-headed leader tied her to ** and asked several heads to give her together... But it's miserable." Kelang looked at the woman on the ground and couldn't help sympathizing with her.
"Open all the doors of the prison and let them all go." Ling Tianhong said loudly, "Everyone sends some money to let them go home separately."
As soon as the woman in the prison heard this, she immediately came to her spirits and stood up and waited for the door to open.
Ling Tianhong opened the prison door and saw that the woman on the ground had not responded, so he went in and squatted down: "Hey, girl... Wake up... You can go home."
The person on the ground for a long time moved, sat up with his hands and raised his head.
"You... How can it be you?..." Ling Tianhong stared at the woman in front of him in surprise.
"You... Why are you here?..." The woman also stared at him in surprise.
