When the group left the city, they headed northwest, and after a short time, they left the official road and went up the mountain to walk the mountain road. It was only after entering the mountain that Jiang Wen and Zhu Quan clearly felt Li Shen's nervousness, and the two of them were surprised, so they saw Li Shen trembling and asked: "Isn't it good for us to walk along the official road?" Why do you have to go up the mountain to copy the road, I have heard that many people and many mountains have horse bandits occupying the mountain as kings, why don't we send it?"

The two didn't expect to dream of such a ruthless weirdo, but their courage was surprising, Zhu Quan smiled and explained seriously: "Horse bandits have been king in the mountains for a long time, but horse bandits mostly set up ambushes on both sides of the official road, and we will not meet them when we take these remote roads." ”

"Why?" Jiang Wen said with interest. "The official road has a wide field of vision, which is conducive to the ambush and arrangement of the horse bandits, especially to prevent the design of officers and soldiers. Zhu Quan said leisurely. "Officers and soldiers designed?" asked Li Shen.

"Well, it's officers and soldiers. The independence of local finances and taxes has led to a very uncomfortable life for the bandits, you know why. Local finances and taxes are independent, and all the income from the government soldiers is returned to the locality. Therefore, the government has become the last yellow finch on this chain. They often design horse bandits, catch live mouths, and raid thieves' nests!"

"It's okay to take the money to do things, don't be so complaining!" Jiang Wen patted Zhu Quan on the shoulder and smiled. "In the absence of sparing, they do not recommend making cameo appearances as mountain bandits, which is why the dart bureau always has to prepare some protection money when passing the customs, don't be too serious! There is no difference between officers and soldiers and bandits here. Zhu Quan said coldly.

Although, Zhu Quan swore that the probability of encountering Mafang on the mountain road was very low, and the route was very safe. But Li Shen was still nervous and trembling, as if he couldn't accept the oppressive atmosphere in the car, Li Shen walked out of the car, sat outside the car, sat with the coachman, and chatted with each other. Looking at the scenery outside the car, Li Shen exhaled heavily, although he knew that Zhu Quan was the truth, and also understood that there were two people safe in the convoy, but he still couldn't control his fear of the horse bandits.

This visceral fear stemmed from Li Shen's childhood, when Li Shen's family was not wealthy. The old man took Li Shen's family of three to that projectile city, just to make the family of three more comfortable. However, when passing by the forest road, it happened.

Twenty or thirty bandits rushed out from both sides of the road, but the dozen or so convoys seemed to be controlled by the bandits without any decent resistance. After those who resisted were wantonly slashed and slaughtered by a few vicious horse bandits, the rest of the people, although their hearts were full of anger and grief, and their trembling bodies also revealed their fear, and they still longed to live, so the rest did not resist too much. Quietly waiting for the disposition of the horse bandit leader.

The leader stepped out of the crowd, walked in front of several people, trampled on the corpse of the resistance, and said nonchalantly: "What are we doing, you should be clear." Put the valuable things over there, and if there are enough of them, you will be safe. If that's not enough, you'll have to do something else. ”

The group numbly took out those valuable things from their bodies, they knew the meaning of Ma Fang, and they could only hope that these things on their bodies could be handed over in exchange for their personal freedom. It's just that the more desperate everyone becomes, looking at the horse bandits' gradually frowning brows, the young Li Xianling family understands that the possibility of wanting to leave safely is already very good.

Seeing that the things that everyone took out were becoming more and more trivial, the horse bandit impatiently interrupted everyone's movements, and said: "It's far away, why do you still come out to wander around with this little belongings?" Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, the quality of your daughters is good, leave the others and leave the rest of the luggage behind." ”

The rest of the people looked at each other, and the people who lived for the rest of the robbery didn't care that the robbers wanted the female dependents of the family, so they packed up the rest of the softness, bypassed a kind of horse bandits, nodded and said goodbye flatteringly, and then walked away. A female dependent in the family was driven into the car by horse bandits, and although Li Shen, who was still young, knew that his mother was going to leave him, he was crazy to catch up with the carriage and was stopped by the young Li County Order.

Since then, Li Shen has planted a deep fear of horse bandits in his heart, and has also had a huge estrangement from his father. It can be that Li Shen is not interested in male rao, but a kind of torture in disguise, and it is also atonement. Tightening the clothes on his body, Li Shen looked up at the somewhat gloomy qi and said to himself: "Today's qi is really bad, I always feel that something is going to happen!"

Looking at the increasingly gloomy atmosphere and the dense and gloomy woods, Li Shen shook his head to dispel the uneasiness in his heart, got up to say goodbye to the coachman, and was about to enter the carriage. "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road!"

Li Shen's figure when he returned to the carriage suddenly stopped, and then he trembled involuntarily. A few scattered figures rushed out from both sides of the road, blocking the way. The leader of the bandits was holding a weed in his mouth, and his eyes were greedily staring at the carriage, as if a hungry wolf had found its prey.

The coachman is also calm, he has not seen many winds and waves for so many years, and these people have not been able to set off any big storms and waves for them. Instead of stopping, the coachman whipped his horse, intending to crash directly into it, and several people on the opposite side were also a little flustered when they saw the carriage coming straight towards him. When the carriage approached, a few people hurriedly avoided the carriage, and the two carriages rushed by, although the four strong men were not the generals of the monks, but they were indeed not mediocre among ordinary people.

The four men who escorted the carriage knocked down a few stinky fish and shrimp, and the car continued to drive without stopping. Li Shen clenched his fists and silently got into the carriage. The corners of the coachman's mouth set off a slight arc, obviously a little disdainful of Li Shen's previous performance. Li Shen, who got into the carriage, sighed, knowing that he had behaved badly just now, and he didn't say anything, digesting his dissatisfaction with himself sullenly. Zhu Quan shook his head, obviously he was aware of everything outside, and he was also a little disappointed with Li Shen's performance.

But he didn't want anything, after all, why should a rich second son ask too much. Since Jiang Wen can afford him, let him contact Jiang Wen himself. It's just that when I think that I may have to continue to contact this person in the next few days, I can't help but feel a little estranged in my heart.

To tell the truth, the performance of the coachman is much better than that of Li Shen, if he wants to choose one person from the two to be his partner, Zhu Quan would rather choose the coachman, but after all, Jiang Wen is the meaning of this trip, and everything is based on Jiang Wen's requirements as the highest criterion. Since Jiang Wen is optimistic about Li Shen and wants him to be his partner, Zhu Quan naturally won't talk too much to do more.
