17. [Pick-up] robbery
Qingyang County is located on the border of Huizhou County, adjacent to the river in the north, and surrounded by mountains on the other three sides. Qin slowed them to abandon the boat and go ashore after taking the official road, the first half of the road is still flat, into the boundary of Qingyang County, a will enter the mountain and a will cross the water, the two sides of the road are thick and verdant, like a maze around people dizzy.
Accidentally, Qin Slow and Huo An got lost on the winding mountain road......
Yongque's comfortable and luxurious sedan chair is gone, the shadows of the trees in the mountains are slanted, and the lively calls of the orioles soar into the sky from the canopy of the clouds, but the mountains and forests are more and more silent. The two looked at each other, Huo An stomped his feet heavily, ran a few steps forward and shouted in a soft and thin voice: "Master Yong?!! Brother Lu?? β
The shouts echoed in the mountains and forests, not even a kingfisher was alarmed, and it was silent, so quiet that people panicked.
Qin slowly looked around, blinked, took a few steps to the left, and touched the towering old pine tree; After a few more steps to the right, I bent down to look at the half-man-high boulder that was deep in the mud. She tapped on the stone, causing her to hisse and rub her reddened fingers.
Huo Anxin, who was afraid of losing Qin Slow again, was so anxious that as soon as he turned around, he saw Qin Slow lying on the stone half-squatting and half-standing, poking his head out and not knowing what he was looking at. He screamed again, rushed over and pulled the person down, and dusted it up and down: "Ancestor! There is a lot of humidity in the mountains, there are many poisonous tongues and mosquitoes, and there is nothing if the clothes are dirty, if there is anything that is not clean, the sin of the person is light, and the heavy one will lose his life! β
"It's okay," Qin Slow obediently swept it from head to toe by him, pointing to the bottom of the stone, "You see, the grass at the bottom of the stone is crushed, so it can be seen that the stone was not here originally, but was moved later." She touched the stone surface again and stretched her finger in front of Huo An, "You said that the mountain is damp, but the stone surface is dry and even retains residual heat, which shows that it has not been long since it was moved from under the sun." β
Huo An touched the stone, and it was really as she said! Can...... He looked around blankly, but there was no one in sight, and no footsteps were seen: "Hey! Who has nothing to do and put a stone here? β
Qin Slow looked around at the shadowy dense forest again, sighed, and decided to make his words more transparent: "Someone doesn't want us to go." β
Before her words fell, a rough male voice fell from the sky: "Who is coming, report your name?!" β
"Whoosh", long arrows fell like raindrops around them, shocking Huo An, who had just wanted to pull Qin slowly and running wildly, in place, not daring to move.
Suddenly, more than a dozen big men with guns or knives jumped out of the forest shadows, all of them fierce and burly, and surrounded Qin and them in an airtight airtight manner, without leakage. The leader is even more fierce, half an arm around the child's arm thick iron whip, the whip handle is held in the wrist, a double-edged long knife is pinned to the waist, and the scar face is full of tiger eyes: "Bah! Don't sign up, friends are too polite! β
I haven't heard of bandits being polite, and I don't look at what their East Factory is about! Huo An was so angry that his heart trembled, but for the time being, the other party was overwhelmed, and he still had to protect the soft and weak Qin Slow, he gritted his teeth and accompanied a smiling face: "Heroes, the little one went out with my young lady and strayed into your land, and disturbed your masters." For the sake of my two intentions, whether I can be accommodating. β
"Miss?" The leader of the bandits looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Whose young lady doesn't wait for her and runs away to the outskirts of this mountain?!" I see that you are a cunning minion, and you are not a good person! As for the little girl......"
Qin Slow, who was named, raised his head in confusion, trembled at the bandits' eyes, and hid behind Huo An in a puff of smoke.
Huo An's teeth creaked, and when he put it aside, it doesn't matter which way you go to the prince of heaven, it is too late to escape just by seeing the shadow of the embroidered spring knife, don't say that you have the courage to stop it. But right now, he is a little eunuch who is not good at martial arts, and he didn't bring any embroidered spring knives to strengthen his courage in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he was really bullied by dogs in Pingyang!
However, the people in the East Factory are indeed not good people. Huo An delayed the opportunity, secretly looking at the terrain to find a way to escape, and looking for an opportunity to release a signal. Lu Cun found that they were missing, and he would definitely find them immediately, and when this group of people saw the queen of Hades, they were afraid that they would regret robbing their way!
"Humph! It's out of tune! The bandit leader walked around them with a whip and a prey, the wind was as fast as lightning, the sound was like a thunderbolt, and a loud bang rubbed Huo An's ears and exploded, "Look at what you are wearing, you are either rich or expensive!" Say! Is it a spy sent by the government!! β
Huo An was frightened by the unsuspecting whip and weakened his legs and stomach, but fortunately he didn't fall down with a hard breath.
He was weak-minded, and the bandit leader suddenly implemented seventy or eighty percent, and his face was hideous, and he shouted like thunder: "It seems that Lao Tzu is right!" Don't work brothers, Lao Tzu has taken care of you two official dogs! β
Qin Slow was the most sorry for his life, and when he looked at the posture, he was extremely aggrieved, and hurriedly stretched out a small head from behind Huo An to justify: "This heroic man raises his noble hand!" Have you ever seen a girl in any official family? β
At the same time, a tall and thin man dressed in a little Sven appeared in the crowd: "Eighth master, wait a minute." The mouse-like triangular eyes glanced at Qin Slow's body a few times, and whispered in the bandit leader's ear.
Huo An's ears are not enough, and he probably only hears what "people are lost", "King Haihui"......
"This ......" The big man known as the eighth master hesitated for a moment, looked at Qin Slow, and withdrew his whip, "Okay, you are lucky today, and the master will intercede for you." The brothers brought them back to Lao Tzu! β
βββββββββββββ
It's hard to get out of Beijing, and I didn't take a few glances at the beautiful lakes and mountains, but I met a lot of strange people and things for Yongque.
A Qin slow was already unexpected, and now dozens of people before and after, in the daylight, the two big living people suddenly evaporated from the world?
Yongque got down from the sedan chair, and the forest road covered with forests and trees was deep and winding, and it was difficult to see the details. A half-collapsed monkey head stone tablet stands beside the road, and the handwriting on the tablet has been blurred under the wind and rain.
There are many mountains and forests in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people generally worship the mountain gods in order to protect them. As for the appearance of the mountain gods, most of the people recorded in the book are either amiable old people or gentle and charming mountain ghosts. The mountain god with a monkey face, Yongque is the first time to see it, not to mention that this monkey face is portrayed so as not to be too funny, how can there be half a god solemn?
Lu Cun led a wave of people to search for a long time, and then returned with nothing: "Overseer, I'm afraid there are ghosts in this forest." β
The ghost he said is naturally not a lonely ghost in the grave, nor a mountain ghost sheltering the mountains and forests, but a ghost made by people!
After this Qin slow disappeared, Yongque was already clear. At first, he guessed that Qin was running away slowly, but after thinking about it, if she escaped, she would definitely not take Huo An with her, and Huo An would not watch her slip away.
The shadows in the forest are full of ghosts, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a bush or a mountain beast, and the dazzling sunlight falls into it, and in a blink of an eye, it is engulfed by dense shadows, like a huge net, quietly waiting for a lost man or beast to break in.
"Overseer...... Looking for it? β
Lu Cun doesn't talk much, but his mind is secret. The forest is different, eight out of ten/nine are coming to Yongque, if you go in, you are in the middle of it.
Yongque looked at the secluded jungle and smiled: "People have set up the stage at the door of our house, if you don't go in and take a look, wouldn't it be too unappreciative?" β
The difference between Lu Cun and Qin Guan is even more significant at this moment, Qin Guan must persuade Yongque to think twice before acting, while Lu Cun immediately dispatched manpower, deployed a retreat, and prepared to enter the forest.
Rao is Jinyiwei was well-trained, and after a while, the men and horses had been arranged, but when he stepped on the forest road with Yongque, he was stopped by a group of people galloping towards him.
The comer was huge, several broad-fronted black-backed hounds opened the way, followed by the various horses and longbows, and a dragon flag embroidered with the word Hui fluttered high in the wind, which was eye-catching.
Yongque stopped and looked at the visitor with interest: "It seems that there is more than one official in our family in this play." β
In Huizhou, the Panlong can be used as the banner and the Hui character as the name, and the family of the king of Haihui, the king of the domain, is the only one, and a splendid carriage surrounded by knights with a canopy like a cloud just fulfills the identity of the comer.
The horse pulling the carriage stopped a few zhang away from Yongque, the knights dismounted, and when one person stepped forward and was about to lift the curtain, Yongque was already dressed properly, and took a step forward to go to a thousand, and waved his hands with a smile and made a big salute: "Weichen has seen His Royal Highness King Hui, I don't know that His Royal Highness is here, and I am rude to welcome him, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive the crime of disrespect." β
He preemptively struck and took the blame away, so that the people in the carriage did not know how to deal with it for a while. But the person who came also knew in his heart that how rude it was, how rude it was, how bad it was, and the only person in the world who could cure him for his Yongque sin was the master in the middle of the imperial city. Taking a step back, even that saint is afraid to act on his face in some things.
After thinking about it clearly, the people in the car didn't care about it, and besides, his trip was not to put his vassal king's score in front of this proud Dongchang factory. The curtain was raised, and a young face that seemed to be so thin that only bones were left came out of the shadows, and said weakly: "The encounter between this king and Yongchangchen was really sudden, what is the crime of the factory, please get up quickly." β
Just looking at the complexion of the body, at a glance, Yongque knew that like Qin Slow, he was a long-term sick body with insufficient years. It's just that he pursed the corners of his mouth, there are countless good medicines and miracles in the world, who knows if he is sick today and will be better tomorrow.
King Hui didn't dare to put on a score, he lowered his posture, and bowed his head very humbly: "Your Highness is lenient, and then Weichen will be bold." β
He said, but he didn't kneel down at all, just make a look. Straightening up, Yongque swept the soldiers behind King Hui, and asked extremely puzzled: "Rong Weichen asked offensively, Your Highness, what is this ......?" β
A trace of embarrassment flashed on King Hui's face, his pale face was even more pale, he covered his mouth and coughed for a while before he relieved himself and said, "This matter is really difficult to talk about......
The fiancΓ©e of the dignified vassal king was robbed by mountain bandits, isn't it an unspeakable thing?
After listening to King Hui's flickering words, Yongque Fang understood why King Hui, who was weak, would personally lead the people and horses up the mountain vigorously. After all, the abduction of his wife's room is unbearable for any man, and there is no need to endure it anymore.
King Hui obviously didn't want Yongque to interrogate this matter more, so he changed the topic: "Then why is the factory minister here?" β
Yongque suppressed deep sorrow between his eyebrows, and hesitated for a moment before he said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, this ...... The female dependents of Weichen's family also fell into the way of the mountain bandits and fell into their hands. β
