Zhang Xiaohu was shocked. These two men were incredibly skilled. Especially the old man, who had snuck out from behind a boulder and grabbed him without anyone noticing.
Although the old man was not young, his eyes were fierce and menacing, making people dare not look directly at him. The old man held Zhang Xiaohu's wrist tightly, and Zhang Xiaohu could not move at all.
It was Zong Ze and Qin Wenzhi who subdued him.
Zong Ze turned his hand back and Zhang Xiaohu's long sword fell.
Before the long sword hit the ground, Qin Wenzhi caught it. With a backhand swing, Zhang Xiaohu's head fell to the ground with a "crack!"
The dozen or so people led by Zhang Xiaohu were also captured or killed by Wang Shan.
When Wang Shan ran over, he found Zhang Xiaohu's body already torn apart. Wang Shan nodded gently and said, "Thank you both for your help. May I ask who you are?"
Zong Ze said, "We shouldn't talk about this any further. I just heard this thief say that some Jin people are coming up from the back mountain."
Wang Shan was shocked: "Return to the stronghold immediately!"
Zong Ze grabbed him and said, "No, the stronghold might have been occupied by the Jin bandits by now. Listen to me."
Wang Shan turned back in surprise. Zong Ze asked, "How many people are there on your mountain?"
Wang Shan said: "There are still more than a thousand people on the mountain, and another two thousand on Camel Peak, seven miles to the east."
Zong Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Asu Miaozhao is the deputy general of Fang County. He must be going all out on the mountain right now. Send someone to Luotuo Peak and take your two thousand men to Fang County to destroy Asu Miaozhao's lair. With the rest of the men, we'll attack the mountain."
Wang Shan had fewer than 4,000 men under his command. He had left 1,000 men on the mountain and had brought over 500 men to pursue Zhang Xiaohu. The 2,000 men on Camel Peak were all old, weak, and sick, but Fang County was even more depleted of troops at this time.
Wang Shan said, "Zhang Tieniu, take your men to Luotuofeng and gather the brothers to go to Fang County. The rest of you, follow me up the mountain to rescue our brothers!"
"Big brother, be careful." It turned out that the man who had just scolded Zhang Xiaohu was Zhang Tieniu, a fellow villager of Zhang Xiaohu. After Zhangjia Village was massacred by the Jin people, the two came to the fallen grass on Black Cliff Mountain.
Zhang Xiaohu, the second-in-command of Heiya Mountain, was bewitched by the Jin people and became a traitor. He originally planned to join forces with Asu Miaozhao to kill Wang Shan and seize the top spot. By killing Wang Shan, the elderly, weak, and sick of Luotuofeng would be no longer a threat, and he could become the king of the mountain with the support of the Jin people.
However, Wang Shan's martial arts skills were too strong, so his sneak attack failed and he was chased here by Wang Shan and his men. He happened to run into Zong Ze and Qin Wenzhi, and finally got what he deserved for his evil deeds.
