It happened that the subordinate Wei Shan, who was selected by Feng Zhong to go to Maling Mountain to perform the task of luring the enemy, not only met Xiang Kang, but also had some fate. It was when Xiang Kang first ran to Feng Zhong's house to eat and drink, in order to be a beggar, Xiang Kang forced him to find Huang Ni, the Feng Zhong family diner, who relied on doing odd jobs for Feng Zhong to make a living.

Since he was a rural gangster who was a stubborn countryman, Wei Shan certainly did not want to risk losing his head at any time and ran to Maling Mountain to perform such a life-and-death mission. Unfortunately, Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong both took a fancy to his eloquence, and he had experience of thieves, and he had both rewards and promises, and he was forced to go to Maling Mountain to deceive bandits to Shilingting to die.

Finally, Feng Zhong, who knew that he was not glorious, simply threatened him in jail, saying that if he did not agree, he would pursue the past. After all, he persuaded him to coax and urge him. Finally, Wei Shan was forced to accept the labour with a sad face. On the first day of the fifth month, he went north with a ragged short copper sword and a little dry food, and drilled into Maling Mountain, looking for traces of Wei Qiu, the thief of the same surname.

"Where can I find it? There are so many mountains and so many trees. I asked me to go there to find the bandits of Weiqiu? The surname Feng and Xiang. You two should be dismembered by five horses. Given such a labour to me, it would be a trick!"

Since it is known as Maling 800 miles, the area of ​​Maling Mountains is of course amazingly large. Even though the Maling Ancient Road during the Battle of Maling was still slightly traceable, the newly opened roads could penetrate the mountainous areas. However, if you want to find a Weiqiu criminal gang with only about twenty people in such a huge mountainous area, of course it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack. Without certain luck and opportunity, you can't find a target.

He was alone and cursing and wandering around the mountains for a long time. The sky was already dark, but Weiqiu and his group seemed to be non-existent, and there was no trace at all. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he was afraid of the mouths of poisonous snakes and beasts buried in the mountains. Weishan, who was still experienced in survival in the wild, could only find a cave that could barely be there, and then a bonfire was created at the entrance of the cave. He was worried about preparing to spend the night in the mountains, and then continued to look for Weiqiu and other groups the next day.

After working hard to make fire by drilling wood to make fire, Wei Shan just took out the dry food and prepared to start eating, but suddenly remembered a big thing. He quickly got up and put out the bonfire, and cursed himself: "Idiot, why am I so stupid? What if the bandits in the mountains find the fire and come over and cut me with a knife? I..."

Weishan couldn't curse anymore. At the same time, Weishan quickly stopped extinguishing the fire, because Weishan suddenly remembered another important thing - he was obviously coming into the mountain to find bandits, so he had to be afraid of being discovered by bandits? So Weishan quickly put the newly extinguished firewood on the pile of charcoal fires, carefully blowing it back, and piled up more dry grass and firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously, so that people in the mountains could clearly see where they were.

After doing it all the time, Wei Shan simply pulled his neck and shouted, "Weiqiu, Weiqiu! Brother Wei! I am here to join you. I heard the promise. I have something important to come to you! I want to join! Brother Wei! Brother Wei Wei-!"

Unfortunately, it should be because the distance was too far, Wei Shan's shouting did not receive any effect. He shouted for a long time but didn't answer. In the end, he was so tired that Wei Shan simply gave up this effort and laid Huo Jiawang into the cave he had found with his hard work, greeting Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong's deceased mother and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but the bonfire gradually went out. In the darkness, Wei Shan suddenly felt a few thick and powerful pressing on him. When Wei Shan opened his mouth to shout, another hand with a stinky smell quickly covered his mouth, and then he stuffed a piece of stitch with a smell of urine into his mouth. Then Wei Shan found himself being raised up and dragged to a tree, tied his hands back to the tree. Wei Shan struggled desperately, and kept making whine sounds in his mouth, but those who tied him ignored him, tied him up and immediately searched him, snatched away the ragged short sword he used to defend himself, and also searched away the only Qin Banliang and dry food he had on his body.

Finally, it was still at dawn that Wei Shan discovered that the ones tied him to the tree were several ragged men, each with a knife, and all had dirty faces and ferocious expressions. He looked like he was not a kind person. Wei Shan was panicked and quickly struggled to beg for mercy, but there was a linen in his mouth, and he couldn't make any decent sounds. The men ignored Wei Shan, but just ate the dry food he had snatched from Wei Shan with the spring water. Occasionally, the eyes of Wei Shan were full of mockery and contempt.

Not only that, after eating dry food, a man actually walked to Wei Shan, lifted up his pants and took out his work, and pissed on Wei Shan's thin face. Wei Shan was so scared that he jumped up quickly, fearing that he would be peed on his face, but his reaction was slow, and he was still peed. Several vicious men laughed together, and Wei Shan cursed in his heart. Of course, the main ones were Feng Zhong and Xiang Kang, who were forcing him to suffer the crime.

"The leader is here!"

At this time, a vicious man suddenly shouted, and several vicious men quickly stood up. When Wei Shan turned his head to look, he saw that there were indeed a group of ragged men walking in the depths of the mountain path. One of them was tall, wearing shabby rhinoceros leather armor, walking in front with a shiny iron knife on his waist, and was obviously the leader of the group. Wei Shan was frightened and wanted to shout for mercy, but the linen in his mouth was blocked, but he still couldn't make any decent sounds.

The leader walked straight to Wei Shan, first looked up and down Wei Shan, who was thin and slightly vulgar, and then he whispered. The vicious man who had urinated Wei Shan before understood and immediately pulled out the linen from Wei Shan's mouth. The leader then sneered and asked, "Last night, was it you, a little man, dared to call the name of this leader?"

"Are you the eldest brother Wei Qiu and Wei?" Wei Shan was smart and immediately guessed his identity from the leader's tone, Wei Qiu, the target of his trip.

With a crisp sound, the vicious man in Wei Shan had urinated before, raised his hand, first slapped Wei Shan's face heavily, and then roared: "Little Master, brother, you can call me the boss too? Call me the boss!"

"Yes, yes, leader, Wei." Wei Shan nodded and bowed, and then said to the leader Wei Qiu with a sad face: "Captain Wei, I am here to join you, but I couldn't find you yesterday in the mountains and I couldn't find you. There was no way, so I had to shout your name boldly, the little one deserves death, the little one deserves death, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Are you here to join me? Why do you want to join me?" Wei Qiu asked with a skeptical expression.

"Yes, I'm indeed here to join you, Chief Wei." Wei Shan quickly replied, "I can't get along at Shiling Pavilion. I heard that Chief, you are the king of the Maling Mountain, and all of them are delicious and delicious, so I came to join you specially. Please take it in, be a cow and horse, go to the sword mountain and go to the sea of ​​fire, and never frown."

"What did you do?" Wei Qiu asked again.

"The youngest turned out to be a diner under Feng Zhong's disciple in Dongxiang, Xiaxiang County, and relied on helping him make a meal." Wei Shan answered truthfully and said, "A few days ago, Feng Zhong asked me to buy wine in Xiaxiang City. When he came back, he broke a jar. Feng Zhong suspected that I had drunk the wine and deliberately smashed the wine jar, so he drove me out. I really had no place to go, so I had to come here to join you."

"Really?" Wei Qiu asked skeptically.

"The little one dares to swear to the sky." Wei Shan said with a sad face: "If you don't believe it, just send someone to the Shilingting Pavilion in Dongxiang. If the little one has half a lie, it will be called the little one to hit the thunder and the five thunders hit the top and be caught and bitten to death by the evil ghost."

While Wei Qiu was still skeptical, one of his subordinates suddenly stood up and said, "Chief, the young man can be a witness. This person is indeed a diner under Feng Zhong's sect. I have seen him before."

"What?" Unexpectedly, someone in the robber's nest knew him. Wei Shan couldn't help but be surprised. When he quickly looked at the robber who stood up to testify for him, Wei Shan suddenly exclaimed in a daze: "Jiang Fan? Why are you?" - It turned out that the robber who took the initiative to testify for Wei Shan was not someone else, but it was Jiang Fan, the neighbor of Xiang Kang who was punished with a shield.

Jiang Fan nodded and smiled at Wei Shan, saying to the robber leader Wei Qiu, "Chief, this person has the same surname as you, and his surname is Wei, and his name is Wei Shan."

It is indeed easier to deal with between the same surname. When the robber leader Wei Qiu suddenly smiled when he heard Wei Shan’s name and said, “I have said that you have the same surname as me. I have come and let him go. I have accepted this little master.”

Hearing Wei Qiu's orders, the robbers who had captured Wei Shan before, of course, immediately took action, untied the rope for Wei Shan. Wei Shan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Wei Qiu and Jiang Fan. Wei Qiu patted Wei Shan's shoulder and laughed and said, "Follow me, I'm so busy, I dare not say much, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

In this way, amid Weishan's continuous thanks, the spy sent by Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong successfully became a glorious member of the Malingshan robber group. However, after joining Wei Qiu's gang, Wei Shan did not rush to instigate Wei Qiu and others to go to Shilingting Pavilion to rob. Instead, following Xiang Kang's prior instructions, he tried hard to flatter his new companions while trying to integrate into Wei Qiu's gang and deceived their trust. On the next day, the third day of the fifth month, he participated in a robbery operation against past merchants.

Not to mention, perhaps Wei Shan really has a talent for robbers. Before he started, Wei Shan, who had accumulated some experience in handling cases, found that the robbers were not too heavy, and he must have run very quickly. He suggested that Wei Qiu's soldiers divide into two groups, detours to ambush in front, and run from the side. Then, as Wei Shan expected, when the passing merchant saw a bandit next to him, he immediately ran forward and crashed into the ambush circle of Wei Qiu and others. When he wanted to turn around, the robbers who had killed from the side had blocked their retreat. The passing merchant had no choice but to throw their luggage down and lose money to save their lives. Wei Qiu and his gang also successfully robbed a considerable amount of money.

After the robbery, Wei Qiu and others laughed. In fact, Wei Qiu, who had not been a robber for a long time, was also very excited. He patted Wei Shan's shoulder and kept praising him. Wei Shan also took the opportunity to say, "Chief, don't blame Xiao for being a bad person. In fact, Xiao thinks that money is too slow for us to rob, and you have to rely on luck to grab things. And after your name spreads, the past will definitely rather take a detour than take the mountain roads on Maling Mountain. If we want to grab things at that time, it will definitely be even more difficult."

"That's right." Wei Qiu nodded and said, "But there is no way. We have too few people. We can't even dare to grab the pavilion house like Juyeze Peng Yue and Mangdangshan Liu Ji. We can only come slowly and wait until there is enough people."

"Chief, why are you trying to grab the Pavilion House?" Wei Shan said strangely: "Apart from a few weapons in the Pavilion House, there are even a pitiful few food. Why are you trying to grab the Pavilion House?"

"Who should I steal?" Wei Qiu asked casually.

"Of course, it's a big family. As long as you grab any one, the gold you grab will be enough for us to eat for several years." Wei Shan made an idea and pointed to the Shilingting Pavilion in the southeast and said: "For example, the Yu family who moved to Shilingting Pavilion, his servants are mainly in Yanjiting in Ling County, but most of the money, grain and gold have been moved to Shilingting Pavilion. The male members in the family are pitifully few. We just need to touch them in quietly at night and run away. It's enough for us to eat for several years."

"Is there such a fat sheep?" Wei Qiu became interested indeed.

"Chief, if you don't believe it, you can ask Jiang Fan." Wei Shan pointed to Xiang Kang's former neighbor Jiang Fan and said, "He also knows the situation of the Yu family. If you don't believe it, you can ask him."

Wei Qiu turned his eyes to Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan understood and nodded quickly and said, "Chief, there is a new wealthy family named Yu who has moved to Shilingting. He is very rich. There are several carriages in his family. Most of the servants are still staying in Yanjiting, Ling County to see the old house. There are not many men in the family."

After saying that, Jiang Fan added mysteriously: "Also, in addition to being particularly rich, the Yu family also has two daughters who are as beautiful as immortals, one is as beautiful as the other. If we can grab one casually, we will have a good life in the future."

"It's so beautiful?" Wei Qiu was very moved.

"It's so beautiful." Jiang Fan and Wei Shan answered in unison, and then Jiang Fan said: "The little one has seen them with their own eyes. The little one dares to bet that if you are not moved after seeing the two daughters of the Yu family, the little one is willing to lose their heads to you."

The temptation of both people and wealth is placed in front of us, and even if the outlaws like Wei Qiu are not moved, Wei Qiu asked immediately, "Do you know the way to the Yu family?"

"Know." Wei Shan and Jiang Fan answered in unison again, and finally Jiang Fan added: "It's not far, it's only more than thirty miles, and it's time to get there."

"Then we will go tonight." Wei Qiu said immediately without thinking: "Get money, grab food, grab women!"

Jiang Fan and other bandits agreed, but Wei Shan felt nervous and hurriedly said, "Chief, you can't go today."

"Why?" Wei Qiu asked with his eyes squinted.

"It's not too late, it's too late." Wei Shan pointed to the sun that was gradually setting on his head, and said, "Also, I think that if I really want to rob the Yu family, it's best to be the night after tomorrow."

"Why do you need it the night after tomorrow?" Wei Qiu asked suspiciously.

"Because the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival," Wei Shan said: "Our old Chu people value the Dragon Boat Festival the most. Every household will eat rice dumplings, gather for dragon boat racing, and they will definitely have to drink and eat meat. At that time, Shilingting and the people from the Yu family will be drunk and sleep like pigs. Isn't it much more convenient for us to start a move?"

After a careful analysis, it was found that this was indeed the case. Wei Shan nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's do it the day after tomorrow. We will rest in the mountains for a day, eat and drink well and prepare, and go to Shilingting to grab money, grain and women the night after tomorrow."

Wei Shan nodded and quickly followed the bandits to call Yingming together. However, after shouting Yingming, Wei Shan couldn't help but have such an idea in his heart and said, "Why must we listen to Xiang Kang's arrangements? How good is it to let Wei Qiu go tonight? In addition to being able to grab a lot of gold, maybe I will have the chance to touch the two beauties of the Yu family?"
