The sun gradually slanted, and the front yard of Zhu's mansion finally recovered a bit of cleanliness after sending off those martial arts practitioners.

At this time, three quarters have passed, and it is time for the people who stayed behind to set off for Red Copper Mountain.

Before setting off, a young woman with a beautiful appearance and gentle temperament came out from the inner courtyard, and called Zhu Fugui who was about to step over the threshold with some worry: "Brother Gui."

Zhu Fugui, who was walking in front of everyone, hurriedly turned back when he heard the words, and apologized to everyone, and quickly came to the woman, held up her catkin and asked in concern: "Why did you come out?"

The woman lifted the corner of her skirt to apologize to everyone, then turned to Zhu Fugui, frowned slightly, looked at him and asked worriedly: "Brother Gui, if it's really dangerous, then Fengguanxia's Mei Niang doesn't matter, it's not worth it for you." Take the risk yourself."

It turns out that this gentle and dignified beautiful woman is Li Meiniang, Zhu Fugui's soon-to-be fiancée.

Naturally, Zhu Fugui was not willing to let her worry so much, he patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly: "Meiniang doesn't need to worry, with so many heroes protecting me, I will be fine."

After persuading her softly for quite a while, Li Meiniang finally felt relieved and smiled shyly at the crowd. When she saw Ding Minjun, the only woman in the crowd, her eyes lit up and she walked towards her .

Xu Shi felt close to her as a woman, and she was no longer as reserved as before, and asked softly, "May I ask this lady's name?"

Ding Minjun didn't know what she was going to do, so he said, "Ding Minjun."

Since she decided to leave the sect, she has never reported the name of the Emei School.

"So it's Nv Xia Ding." Li Meiniang looked at her, and suddenly saluted her, solemnly said: "Brother Gui doesn't know martial arts, this trip may be dangerous, I hope Nv Xia Ding can keep him safe."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to other fellow martial artists and said, "The same is entrusted to all of you."

Everyone quickly waved their hands and said a few polite words.

Ding Minjun raised his eyebrows calmly, and accepted the request: "Okay."

Now that she has received Zhu Fugui's reward, she will naturally keep him safe.

When they set off, Li Meiniang chased them all the way to the gate of the house, until they could no longer see their backs, then returned to the inner house in a state of anxiety with the help of the maid.

……

Half an hour later, a group of people came to the commercial road at the foot of Red Copper Mountain.

This red copper mountain is located at the junction of Fenyang and Pingyao, and it is the only place to pass through when entering Fenyang. Since ancient times, there have been thieves and bandits who have built villages and forts on the mountain, specializing in robbing pedestrians and traders in the aisles.But a few years ago, ever since the original group of bandits was annihilated and robbed the village by another group from outside, there had been no bandits on the road below the Red Copper Mountain for a long time. As for the passing merchants, and strange to say, they neither killed or injured people, nor robbed gold and silver, but only robbed food.

Zhu Fugui guessed that there might be some reason for this. This time, so many martial artists were invited to protect him, and it was also because he planned to go up the mountain to meet the leader of the cottage in person. It is best that both parties can negotiate a satisfactory solution. Otherwise, every time the grain crosses the mountain road, it will be robbed. How will he do business in the future?

Walking halfway, there was a sound of horseshoes at the end of the mountain road. Everyone took out their weapons and surrounded Zhu Fugui to raise their vigilance. After a while, they saw a man wearing a rough jacket galloping towards him.When the man saw them, he tightened the reins suddenly, got off his horse and ran towards them in a staggered manner. He was so anxious that he started to fight: "Master Zhu! Master Zhu! Something is wrong!"

When Zhu Fugui saw the person coming, he quickly stopped the martial arts people who were about to make a move, and said to them: "This is Zhu Wen, the servant of my house who is in charge of delivering the goods this time, and he is not a villain." After hearing Zhu Wen's words, he immediately His face changed, and he asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Zhu Wen wiped his face, and said in shame: "Master Zhu, I owe you what you entrusted, and all the goods were robbed by those gangsters on the mountain just now!"

"What?!" Zhu Fugui was startled and angry, closed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any casualties?"

Zhu Wen shook his head and said, "That's not true, but the food and the dowry for my wife are—"

Zhu Fugui stretched out his hand to stop him with a sullen face. Seeing this, Zhu Wen quickly shut his mouth tightly, his honest face full of annoyance and self-blame.

Now that the matter was over, they had no choice but to divert to the Red Copper Mountain to meet the gangsters for a while.

Zhu Fugui bowed his hands solemnly to the group of martial artists and said: "Next, I will trouble everyone to go up the mountain with Zhu."

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists to return the salute, chattering all over the place: "Hey, Mr. Zhu is being polite."

"It's just a hands-on effort!"

"We ate and drank Master Zhu's, this is nothing more than a matter of duty."

"That's the truth!"

……

So the group of people went through the mountain road to the gate of the cottage occupied by the bandits. The name of the village is very simple and straightforward, it is called Red Copper Village.However, when they got there, everyone immediately noticed something unusual.

This cottage houses are flying with flags, guard towers stand on both sides, and several rows of wooden fences with sharp cones are densely placed in front of the gate. The guards in rattan armor stand upright with knives and guns, looking extremely well-trained , It doesn't look like a bandit who robbed a house, but more like an army hiding here.

Everyone was full of suspicion, but they could not help but strengthen their guard even more.

The guards were extremely vigilant, and before they approached, someone shouted: "Who is here?!", and came to check fiercely.

Seeing their unfriendly expressions, the martial arts people protecting Zhu Fugui showed their weapons one after another. The guard's expression changed immediately when he saw them, and he stepped back two steps, shouting "enemy attack", and set up the pistol in his hand.

Following the call of the other party, a large group of big men armed with various weapons poured out of the stockade in an orderly manner, and confronted the martial arts practitioners who came to the door from outside.

If it was just an ordinary bandit, it would be impossible to be so well-trained.

Zhu Fugui had also realized the abnormality, and patted the martial arts figures who were guarding him with swords beside him, signaling them to be calm and calm, and took the initiative to break the deadlock by taking a step forward without fear: "Under Zhu Fugui, Nai Fen The owner of Zhu's Rice Shop in Yangcheng..."

"Surname Zhu?"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a slight commotion among the murderous gangsters on the opposite side. The two leaders looked at each other in dismay, and the big knife in their hands dropped slightly unconsciously, losing three points of determination.

Zhu Fugui narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly aware that perhaps things were not as bad as imagined.He saw one of the leading big men on the opposite side wink at the subordinates who followed him, and the man ran into the stockade quickly after receiving the order, as if to report the situation.

Not long after, a big man with a beard walked out quickly following the person who reported the news, and the gangsters on the opposite side separated from the middle to the two sides in an orderly manner, making way for the big man so that he could come to the front.

I saw him stand still in front of Zhu Fugui, cupping his big fists to greet him, his face full of temples and cheeks was full of guilt, and he kept saying: "This must be Mr. Zhu, I misunderstood, I don't understand." It's a misunderstanding!"

Zhu Fugui didn't know who he was, but judging from the appearance of other people in the village with him as the leader, he presumably was the head of the family, so he bowed his hands and said: "I don't know what to call this good man?"

Ding Minjun was refreshed when he saw the appearance of the big bearded man clearly, and he was surprised to find that this big man was actually Chang Yuchun who was rescued from the Mongols by her and Ximen Wujue earlier!

Chang Yuchun said to Zhu Fugui: "I am the master here, Chang Yuchun." After saying that, he inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced around, never expecting to find her in the crowd, and immediately stared blankly, surprised Ran said: "This... Ding Nvxia?!"

Following his call, all the people present turned their gazes to the only woman among them.

Ding Minjun met their scrutiny without changing his expression, raised his willow eyebrows slightly, and nodded towards Chang Yuchun from a distance.

Seeing that they seemed to know each other, Zhu Fugui quickly invited her over and asked, "Could it be that you two are old acquaintances?"

"Naturally." Before Ding Minjun could speak, Chang Yuchun patted his chest hard at him, and said loudly, "My surname Chang was saved by Nvxia Ding!"

Zhu Fugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, since this is the case, then things will take a turn for the better.He also secretly thought that if this matter can be successfully concluded, he would have to pay Nvxia Ding a lot of money.

Chang Yuchun seemed to have finally realized that this is not a place to talk, and quickly invited them into the village to talk: "Boss Zhu, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to do that looting thing, it's really... oh, And come in with me, and then share it with you in detail."

Zhu Fugui looked at Ding Minjun nonchalantly, seeing her nod her head slightly, he felt relieved, cupped his hands at Chang Yuchun and said, "If that's the case, it's better for Zhu to be respectful than obey his orders."

So the group was invited to the Red Copper Village.

……

In the lobby, Chang Yuchun sat on a large chair covered with colorful tiger skins, Zhu Fugui sat in the first place under his left hand, followed by Ding Minjun who was next to him, and the rest of the accompanying martial arts figures followed in turn , and sitting opposite are several other masters in the Red Copper Village.

After everyone was seated, Chang Yuchun turned his head and gave some instructions to the standing subordinate. After the other party nodded and left, he clasped his fists again to apologize to Zhu Fugui, and explained vaguely: "Half a month ago, in the village Suddenly a big fire broke out, and all the grain and grass stored in the granary were burned up, and there was not enough grain to buy for a while. The brothers in the village had been hungry for several days, so they had no choice but to do it Stopped Master Zhu’s passing goods.” Speaking of this, he hastily added: “I’m not doing that kind of robbery, this batch of food was originally intended to be bought with money, but there was no way to do it because there was not enough money. It wasn't until today that we finally got it all together. Because it was inconvenient for me to enter the city, I originally planned to let the brother who was in charge of delivering the goods today take it back together, but who knew that the big brother would order people to resist us as soon as he saw us. It's too late to explain it to him in detail, so this..."

Now that the words have come to this point, the next ones can be understood even if you don’t need to say them.Due to various considerations, Zhu Fugui didn't show any abnormality, because he knew that even if the other party really robbed him hard, he might have to suffer this hidden loss. Now that the other party has taken the initiative to take a step back, it's another He apologized face to face and expressed his willingness to pay for the purchase, so naturally he had no choice but to readily agree.

What's more, just now he noticed that the Chang Dazhao used the word "grain and grass" in his words.

Grain and grass are not ordinary food, usually only when marching and fighting. Now it seems that there may be a deeper reason for this. These things are not something that he, a small businessman, can get involved in. Even if it was for the sake of prudence and safety, he couldn't go any further, not to mention that according to what the other party said, he planned to buy food legitimately, but firstly, the money was not in place, and secondly, the situation was urgent, so he had to forcibly withhold it first. the goods.

Other things are easy to talk about, that is, the set of Fengguan Xiapei and the dowry, he has to go back, this is also the main purpose of his coming in person this time.Just as he was thinking about how to bring up this matter, Chang Yuchun, who was at the top, spoke again, assuring him: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, except for the food, I have not moved any other goods, and even the seals are still intact." Stick it on the box, and it must be returned as it is.”

This is really in the right place, Zhu Fugui's face beamed with joy, he cupped his hands and said: "Then I would like to thank Master Chang."

"Master Zhu is serious." Chang Yuchun waved his hands embarrassingly, and said in shame, "Oh, this matter is indeed unreasonable on our side."

Having said that, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, extremely helpless.

The author has something to say: I didn't expect that Ximen Wujue's popularity was unexpectedly high, so let me explain a little bit here: I'm not cool, but there is indeed no such person as "Ximen Wujue".

And about Ximen Chuuxue, please pay attention to the timeline (knock on the blackboard), how old Ximen Chuuxue is at this time, who said that a son must be his own?

In addition, due to the needs of the plot, Chang Yuchun's age is slightly increased here. He is currently about 20 years old, which is about the same as when the original novel first appeared.

Don't look at people with beards all over their faces, they are really just adults.
