Chapter Eighty-Four: The Great Stone in the Heart of Man Meng Yuanzhi jumped down from a tall cypress tree and readjusted his breathing, even after he jumped from tree to tree and ran continuously in this way for half an hour, his breath was a little scattered.
In a short period of time, Zhang Cimin's head had become cold, and the coagulated blood no longer emitted a rich bloody gas.
Listening closely, there was only the sound of the cold wind howling in the mountains and forests, and there were no chasing soldiers, it seemed that Zhang Cimin's death would not be discovered until after dawn.
In front of you is a steep cliff, if you stand in the distance, you can see that the silhouette of this cliff and the main peak of Longshou Mountain just forms a roaring dragon head.
This is the origin of the name of Longshou Mountain.
Meng Yuanzhi, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped, looked up at the tall cliff and groaned for a while.
The base of the cliff is full of felled pine trees, which are piled up at the bottom of the cliff and must have been thrown from a high place.
Just this morning, he saw the soldiers throw the useless pine trees they had cut down and thrown them off the cliffs.
Coupled with the fact that Yelu Chongyuan personally supervised the soldiers to cut down trees, Meng Yuan felt that the camp of the Liao Emperor should be on this cliff.
The strange feeling of seeing Emperor Liao during the day reappeared, he slowly squatted down, carefully checked the weapons he carried, then looked up at the cliff hanging overhead, rubbed his hands, placed Zhang Cimin's head, and some useless things, and then took out a small strand of thin rope, coiled it on his body, and used a dagger to cut more than ten wooden thorns and insert them into his waist, and finally took out a pair of iron claws and put them on his hands, and then began to climb above the cliff by the faint starlight.
The cliff is very high, although there are no hundred zhang, there are still fifty or sixty zhang, the cold rock is full of cold and slippery hands, and it is very difficult for the iron claw to hook on the rock, Meng Yuanzhi has to insert the hard wooden thorns into the crevices of the rock every other zhang, used to stand and breathe.
After only half of the climb, the sweat soaked through the clothes, no wonder the Liao people did not place troops here to guard, because there was no need at all.
Meng Yuan hung straight on the mountainside, the weight of his whole body was maintained on a hook of the iron claw, and the wind on the mountainside was so strong that his body was swaying slightly with the wind.
In front of him was a huge and smooth rock, this rock protruded from the cliff wall, and when Meng Yuan climbed here, he found that he was already in a dilemma......
Four hours to run out of one hundred and twenty miles, this is a great burden for Tie Xinyuan, although the inner side of his legs will not be worn out, but it is also red and swollen, even if he stands, the pain is unbearable.
There is another person who has such a problem, that is, Wei Chiwen.
The child could only walk on his legs now, and Quack continued to harass him, making his pain increase exponentially.
In one of the camps of Nuoda, only the three of them were idlers, and the rest of the warriors did not even have a chance to remove their armor, holding longbows to monitor the herdsmen who were enclosed together.
A long rope connected ten people, and they could only watch the other herdsmen eat, and they were left shivering in the snow.
In just one day, eleven men were ready to escape, and if it weren't for the longbows and crossbows held by the samurai, they would probably have succeeded, and even then, only ten were caught, and the other guy was hit by two arrows in the back and still ran into a bush where he could not be pursued.
The old shepherd Zhang Cheng stood in front of Tie Xinyuan and said: "Catching wild horses is a very difficult job, it requires a lot of people to round up from all directions, we don't have enough manpower, the old man has already warned those ten people, they will not run again." ” Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Okay, since you are willing to be a guarantee, I should not be that wicked person, come here, loosen the ropes on those people, and if anyone runs away, cut off Zhang Cheng's son's head!"
” Zhang Cheng's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "The villain has no intention of guaranteeing, just looking at them pitiful." ” Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Look, you don't dare to guarantee that everyone is obedient, I actually don't understand, you just need to follow me to Hengshan, and after catching wild horses, you will naturally get everything you want, why do you want to risk escaping?"
” Zhang Cheng opened his mouth to speak, but Tie Xinyuan waved his hand and interrupted: "I don't need you to say it, I know the reason."
The biggest reason is that because I am very good at talking, and I have taken the risk of feeding you all full, with food in your stomach and thick clothes on your body, they naturally think that I am a young man who is a bully, how can I not run away?
I know that you came forward to talk mainly about the problem of not having enough food, which is not actually a problem, your dinner today is only half the amount of the full meal at noon, and it will continue to be in the future, and if anyone escapes, the amount of food will be reduced until you are hungry and have no strength to escape!
” "It's not fair!
We didn't run!
” Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scream when he heard that there would be less food to eat tonight.
Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Zhang Cheng, you look like you're already fifty years old this year, right?"
Tell me, how many fair things have you experienced in the fifty years you have spent?
You only think that it is unfair to you to eat less, and you have not thought that once you escape, it will be the greatest injustice to me?
Fairness must be mutual, and when you need fairness, you must take into account my fairness.
Go back, discuss with your partners, what to do is from your own point of view, if you can't be controlled by me, then, I have only one way to go, five hundred herdsmen, in the land of Daliao, there are too many such people. ” Zhang Cheng's body trembled, and after shrinking his neck to salute, he returned to the herdsmen, huddled together with some strong herdsmen and muttered.
The red willow branches are golden and fat and tender, and they taste very good, and Tie Xinyuan likes to eat them with baked soft naan cakes, and he eats them very energetically, and he doesn't even look at the herdsmen who have wandering eyes.
Wei Chiwen bit the naan in his mouth, but his eyes never left those herdsmen, and seeing that Tie Xinyuan didn't seem to care, he whispered: "They got together." ” Tie Xinyuan glanced back, stuffed the naan cake in Wei Chiwen's hand into his mouth and said, "Eat well, what do they do?"
” "Will they rebel?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"I don't have the guts, if I had the guts, they would have rebelled a hundred times in Yelu Chongyuan's pasture."
"There are few of us!"
Tie Xinyuan swallowed a large mouthful of naan with difficulty and smiled at Wei Chiwen: "There may be so many people who want to rebel, but ah, if those who want to rebel are angry now and say such a big rebellion, the biggest possibility is that they will be tied up by his companions and sent to us." ” "If I were one of them, I would have arranged a rebellion in some detail, and it would be okay to escape, forty people guarding five hundred people would have loopholes anyway."
Tie Xinyuan smiled and pulled at Wei Chiwen's head and said, "You are not only smart, but you also know how to resist, so you will never become a slave."
They are different from you, they have become a habit of being slaves, they will only run away, they will not rebel, and now their greatest desire is to hope that their masters will treat them well.
I have treated them well, they have benefited, and if anyone tries to destroy their current situation at this time, it will naturally become an enemy in the eyes of the rest. ” As soon as Tie Xinyuan's words fell, there was a miserable cry for help from the herdsmen, and Tie Xinyuan followed the prestige, only to see a few fierce herdsmen beating those who tried to escape.
The attack was very heavy, Wei Chiwen couldn't bear to turn his head, Tie Xinyuan pointed to a large handful of barbecue meat and seven or eight naan cakes on his plate, and said to Gaga: "Give these to those guys who beat and escaped the herdsmen, and tell them that if they can prevent others from escaping, they will be the leaders of these herdsmen, and they will be treated the same as ours in the future to eat and dress, and if there is anything better, they will be relieved of their status as herdsmen, so as to get wages!"

” Ga Ga smiled and walked over with a large plate, and after a while, he came to Tie Xinyuan with a few guys with raw faces.
Looking at the seven or eight shepherd slaves kneeling in front of him, Tie Xinyuan threw out a handful of silver coins and said: "Very good, maintain order, don't mess up, after Hengshan returns, you will all become rich, and no one will treat you as slaves anymore." ” Several big men thanked each other in a mess, swore to help Tie Xinyuan catch the wild horse, and promised that from now on no one would dare to run away from any more herdsmen, and after receiving Tie Xinyuan's praise again, he picked up the silver coin on the ground, carefully put it in his arms, and then returned to the herdsman with dignity.
The shepherds obediently hid in the tents according to the orders of the strong men, and after the big men beat the herdsmen who were tied together again, they locked them in the tents, and added a rope to each person's body, and then they kept vigil by the campfire while drinking a little cold wine sent by the Tiexinyuan Pai Gaga.
When the darkness covered the grassland, Tie Xinyuan didn't wait for Meng Yuanzhi, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and kept cheering himself up, Meng Yuanzhi's martial arts were so high, he would definitely be fine.
Meng Yuanzhi's body shook more and more in the wind, and he consciously let his body move completely, and the iron hook kept moving on the rock, making a creaking sound, as if he was about to break away from the rock in the next moment.
Fortunately, this situation did not occur, and when Meng Yuanzhi's body was about to be flattened, the iron claw left the rock, and his body rose into the air, and the head and feet suddenly rushed upwards and was a full zhang high.
Before the figure could fall and pause, the two iron claws pressed against the rock, bringing up a spark.
When his body fell, Meng Yuan secretly screamed that it was not good, and his hands became more and more forceful!
The body stopped, Meng Yuanzhi's body hung on the cliff again, looking down at the dark cliff below him, Meng Yuanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally crossed the big stone.
