Chapter 343: Encountering Robbers on the Road
(From the beginning of the second volume, please support everyone~)
"Miss, the front is the junction of Liancheng and Linqin City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Are we going to go into Linqin City to have a look and renovate it by the way? Ran Lan saw the towering defensive tower from afar.
The spire is jet black, and it is a trace of smoke and fire. Looking over from the main road, it is shaded by dense trees.
Yuan Shanjia came out of the carriage, looked at the guard tower arranged in Linqin City, and shook his head, "Let's go directly to Jidan City from the fork." There is no need to pass through Linqin City, the entire city of Linqin City has been blocked and burned, there must be nothing left, and there is no place to stay, we better hurry up and wait until we get to Jidan City to have a good rest. ”
They didn't have a good rest all the way, even if they passed through Liancheng, they didn't enter the urban area of Liancheng, and walked directly through the outer paths.
When I settle down in the middle, most of them camp in the wilderness, and occasionally come across some villages to spend the night.
Even the Xihefang on the other side of Liancheng escorted the prepared food and medicinal materials directly to the avenue in the direction of Linqin City and fought with them.
Because Yuan Shanjia was in a hurry to reach his destination, he was in a hurry on the road, and the journey that originally took almost a month was compressed into half a month.
Everyone was a little tired, especially the people who escorted the grain and grass and were in charge of the guards.
It's been five or six days since they last settled in the village.
In such a hot weather, I haven't taken a shower for five or six days, and the sour taste on my body can be imagined.
Yuan Shanjia sat in the carriage along the way, as if he was sitting in a steamer, and sometimes it was so hot that the whole person turned red.
In order to hurry, even at noon on the hottest day, they only did little rest and continued to set off. Everyone was tanned and peeled, and it was darkened.
The person driving this time was Uncle Yun. When Yuan Shanjia went to Yundu, Uncle Yun had been staying in Jiezhou, which borders Yundu, and a month ago he got the news that Yuan Shanjia was going to the west, so he rushed to Liancheng to make peace with Yuan Shanjia.
"Come on, everyone! After this section, they entered the territory of Jidan City. Strive to reach Jidan City by this time tomorrow and get a good rest! Uncle Yun saw that everyone's energy was a little lacking, and he used his internal force to spread the sound far away.
"When you arrive at the place, everyone will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"
When the guards heard this amount, their whole people were excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes suddenly turned red!
Fifty taels! With these fifty taels, plus twenty taels of commission, this trip will make a lot of money. It's enough to buy a small house in Liancheng!
Their blood surged, and in an instant, infinite motivation was born. The so-called money is touching, who doesn't like money? And it's twice as much as the commission!
"Stop!" Suddenly, Uncle Yun felt that there was something wrong with the voices around him.
There was no sound of insects chirping here. Although the weather is a little hot, those insects are not as afraid of heat as humans, and it is impossible that there is no sound of insects at all!
"Beware of ambushes!" Uncle Yun looked around vigilantly and whispered.
As an old Jianghu, Uncle Yun couldn't help but suspect that there was an ambush around.
His ears moved, making out the sounds in the air.
There was indeed no sound of insects chirping in the vicinity.
His eyes were sharp as they looked at the grass and trees around him, and there was one place on his right that was lower than the others, and the grass next to it was tangled and very irregular.
There is also the bush on the left, where the traces of broken branches are fresh.
He had a plan in his heart right now.
One by one, the guards drew their shiny knives, surrounded the grain and grass of the four carriages, as well as the carriage of Yuan Shanjia, and watched vigilantly.
They are very convinced of Uncle Yun. encountered a lot of robbers along the way, and Uncle Yun didn't say that he missed it! They were all talking in private, saying that he didn't have eyes in the sky, so they judged so accurately every time.
But this is just a joke, and they also know that it is precisely because of Uncle Yun's ability that they have avoided a lot of trouble along the way.
"Be careful!" Uncle Yun's eyes looked into the depths of the woods again, and he couldn't help but shout loudly. It seems that there are a lot of people this time. His expression became a little solemn.
Let's hope not the ones who rioted. Otherwise, with their numbers, there may be casualties.
This trip, not counting the secret guards, Yuan Shanjia brought thirty-five guards, and they were in groups of five to protect the carriage.
Thirty-five people heard Uncle Yun's warning, and their eyes showed a fierce look. There are even those who don't have long eyes to come up and challenge the knives of the masters, it seems that they are really impatient.
Along the way, most of the robbers encountered were rabble. It is a team of refugees from the surrounding villages who have been affected by drought early.
There was nothing but a larger-than-average body of strength and uneven farm tools. So it's always been very easy to deal with.
However, there are also some bandits who come down from the mountains, because of the drought, it is difficult to find the target of plunder on the mountain road, and the villages below the mountain are also half a mouthful of food, so they have to focus on the official road.
They firmly believe that the imperial court will definitely send grain, so they are ready to do a big job, so that their stockade can survive this disaster.
This time, people should not be ordinary people.
If it were those ordinary people, at this time, they would have already "rushed!" "The ground has escaped, it is impossible to be so ambushed.
Therefore, they are ruthless, but they are not impulsive people, and they are more vigilant one by one.
"We are the ones who went to Jidan City to relieve the disaster, I don't know which heroes are here? Please make it easy for us to come over. Uncle Yun sat on the edge of the car and clenched his fists around.
However, his hand was tightly gripping the horse's reins, and he did not dare to relax easily.
The sun shone on the earth without interruption, and the spots of light in the woods gently shifted their positions.
There was a stalemate for half an hour, but still no one came out, and there was no movement in the grass.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on the foreheads of the guards, dripping into their eyes, but they did not blink.
They don't relax easily because they don't move.
As the people of Qingyutang, they are also top-notch players, and they are not at all patient.
Yuan Shanjia sat in the car, lifted a small corner of the curtain, and kept an eye on the situation outside.
Seeing that Uncle Yun had been talking for a long time, but no one came out, she couldn't help frowning.
Who is in ambush, patience is really not small. In such a hot weather, I didn't move at all. If Uncle Yun hadn't found out, it is estimated that this time he would have entered the ambush circle.
She looked down on the road and noticed a few flashes of light.
She touched her eyes, looked closely, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It's wire!
When she looked closely, she saw that there were thin ravines in the ground, and there must have been iron wires buried in them. In some places, the dirt is blown away by the wind, which reflects the light in the sun.
These wires are certainly not buried for fun. If there are chariots and horses. As soon as the wires are pulled, the horses will be frightened and even tripped, and since they are ambushed with the wires, they will certainly not be soft-hearted.
Yuan Shanjia's eyes narrowed. Now that these people have achieved this level, then I don't need to be soft-hearted!
These people have to be intimidated! Otherwise, there will be a fierce battle today! And these people have not come out for a long time, they must have gone to call for reinforcements!
She knocked on the body, Uncle Yun looked at his ears and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what do you command?" ”
"Uncle Yun, a quick victory, I suspect that they are stalling for time and waiting for the arrival of the large army."
Uncle Yun was dumbfounded, and he understood as soon as he heard it. "The old slave knows, miss."
Since you don't move, then force you to move! I don't believe you've been shot with a bow and arrow!
Uncle Yun beckoned to the captain of the guard, asking him to come closer and whisper quietly.
"Big Tiger! Two Tigers! Army! Get on the bow and arrow! Three inches under the big tree on the right, and the third one in the bush on the left! Fifth" The captain of the guard waved his hand at the three behind him.
Brush! Brush! Brush!
It took less than three breaths for the three of them to shoot arrows with bows, and the people who were lying in ambush in the grass did not react at all, and they were hit by the arrows.
"Ahh The screams were incessant. But no one jumped out. It's just that the grass is shaking, and someone is changing positions.
"Shoot again!" Qi Li sneered, thinking that he could dodge it in this way?
You must know that the three big tigers are famous archers in Liancheng Qingyuntang. This time, in order to prevent accidents, they were specially brought in.
The most powerful thing about these three people is not the fixed-point target, but the moving point. Even if it is a tiger that moves at high speed, they can not say that they can be killed with a single arrow, but they can also ensure that they can shoot to the vital point.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Damn it!"
Continuous screams rang out.
But those people still didn't come out.
Uncle Yun frowned, it seems that he is a hard stubble!
"Come out! Otherwise, keep shooting! Qi Li drove a few steps forward and shouted into the dense bushes.
At the same time, the three big tigers put their arrows on their bows and aimed them at the bushes, and the silver arrows turned around, reflecting the cold cold light.
The ambush man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but the leader was even happier.
The higher the strength of these people, the more valuable this batch of goods is! You can't just give up!
The leader spat out a mouthful of saliva and thought fiercely:! Fight! However, these people knew at a glance that they had strong force and that they had to outwit them. Drag until the boss comes, and this time it's earned!
He gave his military advisor a look, and rolled out of the bushes with a pretended fart, followed by three honest-looking men.
A few men were thin and thin, hungry and cowering, no different from refugees. There were two arrows stuck in each of his bodies, and the blood kept flowing down.
"We're not bad people! We were just looking for something to eat over there, but we didn't expect to get lost in the forest. Please go around us! "He portrays a man who is desperate without food.
And his knees trembled, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
He kowtowed as he cursed fiercely in his heart.
"Humph! Now that the uncle is kowtowing to you, it will be regarded as a worship for you in advance! (To be continued.) )
