Chapter 5 Leave the money to buy the road
Seeing this, the black and fat man named Ziqi immediately said, "You don't know how powerful the wolves are. It's getting late at this time, and as soon as the wolves come out, we can't resist it, and you still have your daughters, which is becoming more and more inconvenient. ”
Seeing that he looked serious, everyone didn't want to laugh at them anymore, so they hurriedly packed up their things and got on the horse, but they diluted the tension just now.
Fang Zhun couldn't help but lean in front of Xiaoyu and carefully considered and asked, "In the early years, I taught you the breathing method, and you seemed to practice it very well. ”
Xiaoyu was embarrassed for a while, blushed and said, "I haven't practiced much." ”
Fang Zhun couldn't help but be stunned: "I heard you roaring just now, your breath is long, and your voice is vast, I thought it was ........"
"Oh, this, although I didn't practice it specifically, I usually remembered it outside, just, oh, it's all according to what you taught......." Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly. I thought to myself, Brother Fang specially taught some kind of clever exercises, but he was lazy and didn't practice well.
Since the people on both sides are together, they have to communicate with each other's names, the black fat man's surname is Lu Ming, Ruifeng's character is Ziqi, the thin bamboo pole's surname is Chen's name, Zheyu's character is Heming, and the Baijing scholar's surname is Tang Ming, Chenghao's character is Luanyi.
Xiaoyu and Chen Peng still had to walk in front, and the fifth brother and the starling brother both put bows and arrows on their horses and followed them. The second brother and Sun Haoran took a few brothers to protect Xiao Xia's car and followed closely behind, Xia Xiucai simply rode a horse, and asked the second sister-in-law to take the child and squeeze in a car with Xiao Xia's wife and Mrs. Lu.
Fang Jian led a few people to follow the group. The scholars and the master and servant of Zhang Xiangcheng felt a lot more relieved when they saw this situation, and they didn't dare to put it behind at this time, so they walked in front and followed closely by the fifth brother and the starling brother.
The second brother was still not at ease, and he put out a big flag, the gray-yellow flag was embroidered with a jet-black swallow, a bright red neck, half-covering a snow-white belly, and he was slightly folding his wings and seemed to raise his head like the sky. When the twenty or so brothers walked along the road, they would shout loudly, "Swallow turn back!"
Xiaoyu walked the horse and asked Chen Peng: "Brother Chen, don't those robbers dare to come to rob when they hear that we are Yanziwei?"
Chen Peng shook his fat head: "That's nature." Hearing Swallow Wai, the most powerful robbers will turn back. ”
"What if it's not amazing?"
"It's not awesome, then not only do you have to turn back, but you also have to leave us money to buy the road. ”
Xiaoyu was immediately attracted by the road money: "Yes, we are better than them, and if we encounter robbers in the future, let them leave us the road money." ”
Luan Yi saw that there were still a few wooden sticks on the loaded car, thinking that it was for everyone to prepare for self-defense, so he drew one and gestured a few times, and felt that it was easy to put it on the horse.
Behind them, the fat black man named Ziqi chatted with the fifth brother: "Brother Xia is really an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, not like us and others are useless scholars." ”
Fifth Brother Xia shook his head when he heard this: "I have only studied with my brother for a few days, where can I be regarded as a martial artist, but it is a pity for the three of them, if I don't fight, I am afraid that he will already be an important minister of the court." ”
The man named Luan Yi shook his head and sighed: "Alas, there will be gains and losses, and there will be gains and losses." In the past, a few of us just thought: 'Learn literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family.' 'Now, alas, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering. ”
The group chatted and walked like this, and when it was getting late, they saw the outline of the city wall faintly visible in front of them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xiaoyu and Chen Peng had to fight horses to enter the city to arrange an inn. Xiaoyu was even more proud, and when she had dinner, she praised her second brother, Chen Peng and Fang Zhun as immortal heroes. Rao is Chen Peng and Fang Zhun are old and serious, and they have been running for so many years, and they are also flattered by Xiaoyu.
It's just that the second brother inquired and came back, and the road ahead was getting worse and worse, there was no city nearby, and the nearest one would take three days to arrive. In the past three days, they can only stay at the post station, and for a while, Ziqi, Heming, and Luan Yi did not dare to hold on to the three scholars, and the master and servant of Zhang Xiangcheng discussed with the second brother to go together.
Seeing that they had finished discussing, Xiaoyu followed the second brother into the fifth brother's room. As soon as he closed the door, Xiaoyu sneakily pinched his throat and said, "These three scholars have a problem, sneaky." I deliberately praised you just now, and that Zhang Xiangcheng was fine. Did you see it, Ziqi showed disdain several times. ”
The fifth brother saw that she was like a weasel stealing food, and she couldn't help but say that others were sneaky. Even the second brother couldn't help laughing and said: "If you meet halfway, you must have something to hide, but you praise people like this, don't talk about them, even I can't sit still." ”
The fifth brother also laughed when he heard this, and then pinched his throat and said in a small voice like Xiaoyu: "I heard that King Yi has built a lot of cities, and there is a lack of capable officials, so he is making a list to attract talents everywhere." ”
Xiaoyu stroked her chin and nodded, and looked at the fifth brother thoughtfully. The fifth brother raised his eyebrows and looked back with a grin.
After a night like this, the Xia family's team set off again, and the journey was smooth, and they stayed in the post station at night. The Xia family brothers connected Ziqi, Luan Yi and Heming all felt that the mountains in this area were steep, which was quite suitable for mountain bandits to set up camp. A few people gathered around the map and discussed for a long time, and they also had some considerations.
The next morning, I set out from the post station, and in the afternoon, when people were sleepy and horses were tired, I saw three people riding tall horses on the road from a distance, and stopped in the middle of the road.
Xiao Yu hurriedly glanced back at the second brother, and saw that the second brother was looking behind not far away, so he settled down and walked towards the three people after Chen Peng. Seeing this, Luan Yi also picked up the wooden stick in his hand, looked up and saw the second brother and Fang Zhun standing in front of the team left and right, followed behind Fang Zhun with a little groan, Heming and Ziqi looked at each other, and also urged the horse to take a stick and protect the back of the team.
Xiao Xia Pozi saw that the car stopped suddenly, and the sound of horses' hooves on both sides kept going back and forth, and she vaguely heard Second Brother Xia whispering to remind everyone to be careful. I couldn't help but lift the curtain a little and look out, and saw Xiaoyu staggering towards the three people. Although he knew that the second brother and the fifth brother must be careful to protect him, he still couldn't help but feel nervous. After looking closely, I felt that Xiaoyu's horse was walking quite strangely, but Xiao Xia didn't ride a horse often, and she couldn't say anything wrong for a while.
However, the three people who stopped in the middle of the road were startled when they saw Xiaoyu walking slowly, and the horses under their crotches involuntarily took a few steps backwards. If it weren't for the one who started to stabilize his mind and immediately pull the reins of the horse, there might have been some kind of joke.
Mrs. Lu saw that Xiao Xia's expression was erratic, as if she was smiling but not smiling, as if she was angry but not angry, and she also opened the curtain curiously and looked out. After looking at it for a long time, she was surprised and said: "Why did Xiaoyu's horse walk, so, that, that" As soon as she said this, even Xia Er's sister-in-law leaned over to see: "Mother!
Xiao Xia Pozi frowned and shook her head and said: "She is a moth, and I don't know when it happened, but she trained a good horse to look like this." ”
It turned out that the horse walked with its front leg and its hind leg: the left leg in front and the right leg in the back together, and then the right leg in front and the left leg in the back together.
The horse walks strangely: the front leg and the back leg of the left side step together, and then the front leg and the back leg of the right side step together. It looks like a person who can't walk forward well, and has to walk sideways like a crab. At first glance, it already feels very weird, but when you think about it, it becomes more and more weird. No wonder the mounts of the three men who stood in the way were forced back two paces, and the horses were more stimulated than men when they saw this.
Xiaoyu rode a horse, stood still in front of the three of them with a smile, and said loudly with his fists folded: "The three heroes have worked hard!"
These three people had come prepared, and at this time, they should have shouted vigorously: "Leave the money to buy the road!" Don't be afraid of being startled by Xiaoyu's ghostly riding skills, the look of surprise on his face has not faded. However, because Chen Peng was walking with Xiaoyu, he didn't know what was wrong, and he still wondered in his heart when he saw the three of them changing their faces and colors.
Xiaoyu didn't wait for them to speak, and first politely arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of a few big brothers running so far." I don't know how many big brothers have high names?"
The three of them looked at each other for a while, and they still said first: "Lao Tzu's surname is Zhang." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Zhang, and the younger brother was polite. Xiaoyu said and arched his hand on the horseback diligently, then turned around and waved his hand to the person behind, and someone came out with silver. Xiao Yu said politely with a smile: "A little silver tael, take it to buy some refreshments for the brothers." ”
At this time, the three of them came to their senses, remembered that they had come out to rob this time, and shouted in unison: "I want to buy a road for so much silver." ”
Xiaoyu shrugged back in fright, and the horse under her crotch seemed to know what she meant, and also took two steps back. Xiaoyu rubbed her ears and said apologetically: "Oh, I'm still very young! I can hear it, I don't need to shout so loudly." ”
After that, he stroked his nose and asked, "Didn't you call it to your brothers, for fear that they won't be able to believe you?"
"Nonsense! Our brothers are all blood alliances, not seeking to live together, but to die together. ”
Xiaoyu's eyes immediately widened and said, "So many silver taels, you are alive to buy some delicious food, good clothes, how good." Why do you want to die together? ”
The man choked, paused and said, "Let your adults come out and speak." ”
Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, just count when you speak." In the next time, I came out to explore the rivers and lakes in order to make a name for myself. ”
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
But the one in the middle squinted his eyes and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, are you our brother called Hanako?
Xiaoyu scratched her forehead and said, "Silver, of course there is still it." It's just like this, the brothers on the road know that our swallow is the most righteous and righteous. ”
Chen Peng looked around as Xiao Yu watched them. If it was normal, it would have been a fight. The swallow flag in their hands was not bought with money, it was made by ordinary brothers. It's just that this time is unusual, in the end, with the second brother's family, it always doesn't look good to fight. It would be best if we could solve them for a little money.
