Leaning on the soft backrest and looking at the scenery on the side of the road, Pan Long is in a good mood now.

"This is called travel!" Han Feng sighed, "We had a good time before...... Compared to that, it's miserable!"

"Come to think of it, we're a bit miserable. Pan Long said, "When I was in the caravan, I rode a horse, and when I left the caravan, I simply walked on foot, and I didn't even have to ride a horse...... I knew that we should have bought a carriage in Lantian City, even if it was a little close. ”

"It's good that I didn't buy it at the time. Han Feng said.

Pan Long smiled: "Yes, it's good that I didn't buy it." ”

In fact, they can't go to Yizhou in this carriage now. Zhongnan Mountain, which separates Yongzhou and Yizhou, is a continuous mountain range. Of course, the mountain is much gentler than Guimen Mountain, but no matter how gentle it is, it is still a lofty mountain after all.

To pass through Zhongnan Mountain, there are two roads to choose, one is to go east, take a boat at Shangluoguan, take the waterway down the Longhe River, until Luokou Pass and then go ashore, enter Zhongzhou, and then go west from Zhongzhou, from Tongtian River upstream, and finally arrive at Yizhou;

The former road is relatively convenient, whether it is the Longhe River or the Tongtian River, it requires the official ferry of the imperial court, as long as you are willing to pay, you can be peaceful on this way, and there will be no risk.

The only problem is that it costs money, and it costs a lot of money.

The latter road is more dangerous, this plank road was very reliable, but no matter how reliable the road needs to be constantly maintained and repaired, in recent years, the Great Xia Dynasty has not repaired the plank road, resulting in this road in the north of Yizhou has been damaged in many places. A few years ago, Pan Long's mother, Ren Yue, returned to her hometown for retreat, and Pan Lei's father and son went together, witnessing the old and dilapidated road on the way.

From then to now, several years have passed, and the wind and rain have been blowing year after year, and I don't know what the plank road has been damaged.

If they don't take the car, with the martial arts of Pan Long and Han Feng, even if the plank road is old and broken, they can pass without danger. But it was impossible to drive this carriage, which was wider than the usual carriage, to get there.

But even if you don't take the plank road and turn to the waterway, this car will not be able to get on the ferry.

In other words, this carriage, which was unanimously praised by Pan Long and Han Feng, was destined to be unable to follow them over the mountains and rivers, and it was destined to be unable to send them to Yizhou together.

The two sighed, but they had no choice but to agree to go a little further, and when they reached the vicinity of Zhongnan Mountain, they would find a way to sell it.

At lunchtime, Pan Long asked the coachman, "Brother Li, we want to sell this car near Zhongnan Mountain, do you have any suggestions?"

The coachman's surname is Li Mingqiang, about twenty-five or six, and he is very strong. His eyes are bright and sharp, and his movements are also very vigorous, and he knows at a glance that he is a martial artist. Pan Long estimated that his martial arts were not low, at least much more powerful than the robbers they had killed before.

Such a character, supposedly, should be the bodyguard of the carriage and horse dealer, how could he come to be a coachman?

He didn't rush to ask this privacy question, but planned to save it for later, and wait for everyone to walk on the road for a few more days and get acquainted with each other, and then ask again.

Hearing Pan Long's question, Li Qiang thought for a while and said, "At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any buyers who are willing to pay a lot of money for this car." I suggest you ask the carriage and horse shop in Wugong Town. Most of the pedestrians in the southwest of Yongzhou have to pass through Wugong Town, where they may be able to find good buyers. ”

Pan Long nodded, wrote down the incident, and thanked the other party.

That night, they came to an unnamed village, and Pan Long and Han Feng were supposed to go into the village to rest, but Li Qiang advised them not to go in, park the car outside the village, and rest in the car.

"Why? No matter how comfortable the car is, it's not as comfortable as lying in bed. Han Feng asked puzzledly.

Li Qiang hesitated for a moment and explained: "Nowadays, the ground is not very peaceful, and villages like this often have some business without capital. If we are just ordinary passers-by, as long as we are vigilant and don't eat their food, most of us will be safe with them. But we have a carriage, and this carriage is not an ordinary commodity at a glance, and the villagers must be greedy......"

"Do they dare to rob us!" Han Feng frowned, and suddenly became a little annoyed.

The people of the Northland are known for their domineering and domineering in Kyushu, and if they don't make trouble for others, others should be thankful that they dare to turn around and ask for their trouble?

If these villagers really dare to rob, then the group of robbers who sponsored them before are their example!

Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "I know that the two of you are not low in martial arts, and if you fight, most of these ordinary villagers are not your opponents." But as the so-called people are in the rivers and lakes, endure the calm for a while, and take a step back. I can not have a dispute with them, and my wife can spend the night peacefully, at least I can sleep well. ”

Pan Long frowned and asked, "If we don't enter the village, they won't come to provoke us?"

"According to the rules of the road, if we don't enter the village, we are making our words clear. If they dare to come, it is a bad rule. Unless they can kill us all, if we run away, whether we go to the city to report to the officials, or go to the green forest to find the local mountain kings, they will inevitably be severely punished. ”

“...... In other words, if we don't enter the village, they will kill us if they don't do it?"

Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Pan Long to think from this angle, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Han Feng smiled, and a murderous aura gradually rose in his smile: "In other words, if we don't enter the village tonight, but they come to kill us again, we can kill it naturally, and the whole village will not be left behind?"

Li Qiang blinked and looked at them stunned, a little at a loss.

He never thought that these two little guys, who looked like they were only half-grown children, would be so murderous.

"I've been wandering the rivers and lakes for a few years, and it's the first time I've seen a ...... like you," he muttered, and couldn't help asking, "How do the elders in your family usually teach you?"

"We are Northlanders. Pan Long replied calmly, "The rule of the Northland people is that if you come to make friends with me, then if you have a glass of wine from me, you will have half a cup of yours, but if you come to be my enemy, then even if your family is a chicken and a dog, I will kill them cleanly, and not give them the slightest chance to take revenge!"

Li Qiang suddenly realized, and the eyes that looked at the two of them immediately became a little more awe-inspiring.

"I've long heard that the people of the Northland are fierce, and even children can ride horses, shoot arrows, and wield knives to kill. I always thought it was nonsense, but now I know that the person who told me this was not joking at all!"

He sighed and said, "Don't do it yet, I'll go to the village and talk to them later." ”

"What is there to talk about, get ready tonight, just wait for them to come!" Han Feng sneered, "Just after buying this carriage, our entanglement is a little insufficient, and when we kill them all at night, a village will search carefully, and we will always be able to find some money." ”

Li Qiang shook his head again and again: "It's not proper! It's better for me to talk to them first." You can rest assured, most of the people in the world are willing to be reasonable and can be reasonable. ”

With that, he hurriedly got out of the car and rushed into the village.

Looking at his distant voice, Pan Long said, "He was frightened. ”

Han Feng shook his head again and again: "Such a big person, how can he be so daring? It's just a knife to kill people, what's so terrible? It's a shame that he has still wandered the rivers and lakes!"

(No, I think...... Perhaps his reaction was relatively normal. On the contrary, our thoughts may really be a bit abnormal. ）

Pan Long muttered a little in his heart, but he didn't say it.

"It's also good to have one less fight. He said, "It's also troublesome to kill a whole village." ”

Han Feng has always obeyed him, and since he has said so, he naturally has no objection.

After only a while, Li Qiang returned. He went empty-handed, and when he returned, he carried a burden. And behind him, there were five or six strong men accompanying him.

Pan Long and Han Feng saw that the faces of the strong men were not very kind, and they were secretly vigilant, but they did not follow out of the village, but walked into the house next to the entrance of the village, pulled out pieces of horses tied with strong hardwood, and lined up at the entrance of the village, and quickly formed a line of defense.

The two of them looked very puzzled, and did not understand what they meant.

Waiting for Li Qiang to return to the car, Han Feng hurriedly asked.

Li Qiang sighed and said, "I told them about your origins, and then they were terrified. Hurriedly sent some pancakes and bacon for us to eat on the way. ”

"Lao Li, what I'm asking is, why are they blocking the door!" Han Feng interrupted him and said unhappily.

Li Qiang glanced at him faintly: "If it's you, there are a few people at the door of the house who say they want to kill your whole family, what should you do?"

"Of course, hack him to death first!" Han Feng replied immediately.

Li Qiang sighed and covered his face with his hands.

"I'm so stupid, so stupid!"

Han Feng had to ask again, but Pan Long had completely understood and stopped him.

"Okay, I'll explain it to you. He said, "The inhabitants of the village are really bandits." So as soon as they heard that we were going to kill the whole family of the robbers, they panicked, and without saying anything, they hurriedly blocked the entrance to the village to prevent us from attacking in the middle of the night. ”

Han Feng's eyes widened: "Why did we attack them in the middle of the night? They are just bandits, and they are not specialized in robbing houses." As long as he doesn't mess with us, what do I care about what he is doing at home? I'm not a patrol in Great Xia!"

"You think so, but they don't dare to think so. Pan Long sighed, "It seems that just like Brother Qiang said, we Northland people are really notorious, just a few words, can scare the amateur robbers in this village in fear and block the gate." ”

Han Feng laughed: "That's a good feeling! We people from the Northland have face!"

Pan Long smiled and did not refute, but was secretly worried in his heart.

(Now I really have some doubts, what did the townsfolk say in the past that they said about 'chivalrous righteousness', are they true or false?
