Chapter 15: Horse Bandits

The old monk seems to be light and slow in his steps, but it is difficult to keep up with this speed, every time Zhao Xu is about to touch the old monk, he will touch the air, and the old monk will seize the opportunity to knock on the skull, knocking Zhao Xu's brain buzzing......

Six months later, Zhao Xu successfully formed a dantian under the guidance of the old monk, simply packed up and said goodbye to the old monk, and continued to the east, reaching Wucheng.

......

"Master, the third young master has already left the temple and walked east, very smoothly. ”

In the courtyard of the old man Zhao in Zhaojia Village, the old servant who had served the old man for half his life reported Zhao Xu's news.

The rickety old man's name is Su Qin, he has followed the old man Zhao since the generation of Zhao Xu's grandfather, more than half a hundred years old, diligent, loyal, running around all the year round, doing things for the old man, in Zhao Xu's memory, this old man has only seen twice, once is the grandfather passed away, at that time Zhao Xu learned to walk, the old man also hugged him, the second time was the third aunt died of illness, when Zhao Xu saw the old man again, he knew who the old man was.

"Old slave, I've seen the third young master. ”

The old man with a kind face saluted a half-sized doll, but it frightened Zhao Xu, and he didn't know what to do, the old man straightened Zhao Xu's clothes and left, and he never saw him again.

"Hmm...... That old monk saved me a lot of things, and after forming a dantian, there is no need to protect it anymore, let's withdraw everyone, the west is the key ......"

Old Man Zhao squinted his eyes and lay down on the chair and fell asleep.

Su Qin left quietly, and the matter in the west could not be delayed.

......

At the end of June, Zhao Xu continued eastward...

Walking on the official road, under the scorching sun, carrying a small burden, walking slowly.

The sun is just right, but the mood is not very good......

Before leaving, the damn old monk took all the money on Zhao Xu's body like wool, leaving two silver coins......

It is said that he has lived in the monastery for a year, but he can't eat and drink in vain, and he has to pay for food......

I didn't take two steps when I turned my head, and I was dragged again, and the incense money was ...... Nima ......

Alas... How can this be done...... There are so many places to spend money on tuition and living expenses......

Moreover, the cost of a city as big as Wucheng must be large, and the two silver coins make Zhao Xu feel bottomless, and he has no confidence to walk, so he has to find a way to earn some money......

Climbing over a mountain, crossing a river, the deserted area made Zhao Xu crazy, no one listened to him, and he talked to himself.

Eat, drink, and sleep all rely on nature, eat wild fruits, fish and hunt, Zhao Xu has done it, so he can eat some meat, unlike the temple, there is no meat at all for a whole year, Zhao Xu used to be in his hometown when Zhao Xu had no interest in meat, I feel that the meat is not fragrant, and it tastes greasy and troublesome, but now I am like a monk for a year, and I am about to vomit when I eat.

Looking at the endless prairie in front of him, Zhao Xu stared at a lamb, this sheep is the best in this flock, the meat is not old and the wool is clean, clean up, the point is that this sheep's vigilance is too low, stupid, other sheep will look up to see if there is any danger after eating two mouthfuls of grass, this sheep is simply a foodie, after bowing his head, he has been gnawing without raising his head, which makes Zhao Xu like it very much.

The cat slowly approached, pulled out the knife, and waited for the opportunity to move......

It's closer...... A little closer......

It is now, Zhao Xu rushed out, the distance of ten steps was instantaneous, the knife fell, and the throat was cut instantly, Zhao Xu pressed it to the ground with his body and waited for the blood to dry, the sheep was struggling frantically, but Zhao Xu was very calm, no pressure, if you let it go and let it run around, it would be troublesome, it could escape while sprinkling blood, and it couldn't stop running for a few kilometers......

Dragged to the river to clean up Lisuo, the roast mutton is really fragrant, plus the ingredients he has prepared, tsk, Zhao Xu's saliva has not been roasted all over the ground, this can't be blamed on Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu hadn't eaten anything before he crossed the mountain, and he was hungry......

Zhao Xu, who was holding the leg of mutton and gnawing on it, looked up to the south, there was movement, many carriages, and he didn't pay attention to it after a few glances, it was just a caravan, and it was not a big problem......

Lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the leg of mutton, and when the caravan passed by, Zhao Xu looked up again, it was very long......

Feng Ziqi, the car is a variety of objects, very miscellaneous, in the middle of the caravan is a carriage pulled by two white horses, very different, pulling people do not pull goods, and the carriage is very luxurious, the entourage intentionally or unintentionally approached here, and finally there is a carriage that pulls goods is also a little different, all boxes, maybe money, there is a man with cold eyes driving the horse, just when Zhao Xu looked at the past, the man also looked over, the two sides looked at each other, the eyes were cold, the breath was very strong, different from the guards who were guarding the carriage in front, one looked at the past and knew that it was some shows, the eyes were scary, as if to say to you, "If you come close, I'll you".

And the last man's feeling was completely different, his eyes were cold and calm, he looked at Zhao Xu like looking at an object, he didn't care what Zhao Xu would do, in his eyes, the weak were not threatening, as long as he was willing, he could be pinched to death at any time, what else to talk about?

Very strong, but Zhao Xu is confident that his opponent will not lose, let alone die, the difference between the two is in experience and experience, and that person must have killed people and seen blood, it is very troublesome......

As for why you have the confidence not to lose, hehe, it's not a joke to practice with the old monk, both offensive and defensive, but the moves are too simple, but the victory is in the effective attack power is high and fast, the world's martial arts, only fast and not broken, only strong and not urging, in the hands of the old monk is not less beaten, rough skin and thick flesh to resist beating, and Zhao Xu's reaction ability is very fast, almost instinctive, but there is no experience in life and death, it is easy to suffer when fighting with that man, but you have to try it if you have the opportunity, you have to see what level you are.

The dust raised by the carriage after passing by made Zhao Xu a little annoyed, and he choked to death, and my meat is all soil, how can I eat it......

The ground shook, Zhao Xu looked up violently in the direction he came from, and he didn't know what appeared, horse bandits? A large group of people galloped on horseback, dressed in black, covering their faces with gauze, holding the reins in one hand, weapons in the other, all kinds of weapons, everything, while running wildly, shouting, very excited, straight to the caravan that had just passed not far away, thinking that it was robbery......

Zhao Xu threw down the uneaten mutton and began to run wildly, found a place with lush grass and lay down, hide it first, don't meddle in your business......

Zhao Xu probe observes.

Seeing this, the caravan did not drive the horses to flee quickly, but stopped on the spot, the personnel approached, and those guards drove the horses to line up to resist the enemy, the number was far less than the horse bandits, but it looked quite stylish, the equipment was good, and the horses were also first-class good horses.

And Zhao Xu has been looking for that man among those people, and no one is used to seeing the last carriage he is responsible for, and others don't know where to go.

The horse bandits rushed wildly, did not attack directly, but surrounded the caravan, kept turning in circles, and the scene of human voices and horses was very chaotic......

One of the bandits drove his horse out of the circle, pointed his spear at the caravan guards, and grinned.

"Hmph, acquaintances, leave things, people, get out!"

An old man in the caravan greeted him and said with a smile: "Heroes, heroes, if you have something to discuss, I am willing to buy this passage money with 100 gold, okay?"

The old man dressed up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, he looked very nervous, obviously he didn't sweat, Zhao Xu could see it clearly......

The old man's appearance made the leader very useful, and he laughed very proudly.

"Count you as you know, as the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, old man, you are a person who understands"

The leader of the horse bandits stretched out his hand and hooked it, the meaning was obvious, take the money out and talk about it, and the horse bandits who drove the horses around the caravan were also shouting.

The old man beckoned back, and then someone on the side carried out a wooden box and placed it between the two sides.

Some of the bandits dismounted to check that it was correct, and the leader of the bandits whistled, and the bandits were quiet.

"Hahahaha, so, please!Hahaha, we're destined to meet again!"

The bandits got out of the way, but had no intention of leaving.

And the guards of the caravan were scattered around the carriage, not daring to relax at all, and the old man was still thanking the leader of the horse bandits, with a smile on his face, and it was a great luck to be able to solve this matter with a hundred gold coins.

It is better not to use the sword, not to be injured or to die.
