Chapter 420: Bandits on the Road

The coachman smiled, and then whispered meaningfully, "Boss, the little one has already seen it, although you choose a dilapidated carriage like me, but you are actually a rich man, right?" ”

Truman paused, not speaking.

Seeing that the former did not speak, the coachman already knew that his guess was correct, he glanced at the carriage, and then said in an inaudible voice: "Also, the little one also guessed that the person in the carriage was a girl, and she looked so handsome, and she must still be a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city." ”

Previously, because he had to go out of the city and need to pass through many checkpoints, the coachman did not sit on the carriage as he does now, and the conversation between Truman and Long Jiaojiao was naturally inaudible.

So at this time, he must have guessed what he said.

Truman glanced at the coachman, and then said with a smile: "You have a bit of eyesight, the person in it is indeed a girl, and a girl like a flower, and I do have a little money." ”

"Haha."

Affirmation of the former, the coachman smiled like a master, he touched his mustache, and said slowly: "Eyesight is actually practiced, and there are many people who have seen it, and naturally you can see things that cannot be reflected in people's faces. ”

"Fortune teller?"

Truman asked silently.

It seemed that he was afraid that Truman would not believe it, and the coachman hurriedly confirmed: "Yes, my fortune telling is very accurate, so I still have some fame in Zhengcheng, if the boss doesn't believe it, find someone to ask." ”

Truman looked out of the road, and now that the carriage had left the city, there were still any people on the road.

Truman was stunned, then smiled slightly, and said, "Some famous fortune tellers don't know why they come to do this business. ”

The coachman shook his head regretfully, looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, and sighed before saying: "Alas, because my fortune telling is too accurate, it has led to the jealousy of some other fortune tellers, and they have found bandits who want to kill me. ”

Listening to the former's words, Truman smiled, and then said casually: "Since fortune telling is so accurate, why don't you calculate it for me first?" ”

The coachman pulled the horse rope with one hand and waved his hand with the other hand to refuse, "This, the small ones haven't been counted for a few years, and those related things have long been forgotten, so let's forget it." ”

Truman took out a silver ingot from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "If you can really prepare as you say, then I will give you ten taels of silver." ”

Looking at the ingot of silver, a gleam flashed in the coachman's eyes.

When his throat stirred, he said very entangledly: "Since the boss has such sincerity, the little one is disrespectful." ”

A smile appeared on Truman's face, and he looked over with great interest, waiting for his performance.

The coachman coughed, and then stretched out his sleeves, quite like a fortune teller.

He looked at Truman sideways, and only after a long time did he say: "Although the boss has a haggard face, his eyes are firm, and there is a faint trace of the sharpness of a superior, the boss is not a mortal." ”

Truman smiled and handed over the ten taels of silver.

After taking the silver, the coachman was naturally happy, and he put the silver in his hand for a long time before carefully putting it in his clothes.

"Go ahead." Truman said.

"Yes!" When he got the money, the coachman was naturally extremely respectful.

He turned his head and looked at Truman again, but after a long time, he shook his head, and he said with great pity: "Is the boss at a low point?" ”

Truman paused, then nodded.

"You can say the same thing."

The coachman continued: "It can be seen that the boss was smooth before, but today an incident happened that made all the boss's efforts come to naught. ”

"The boss is very unwilling in his heart."

Truman nodded, not denying the former's words.

The coachman tilted his head to the carriage and looked at Long Jiaojiao, who was a little exposed as the carriage swayed.

The coachman sighed and said, "Boss, is it because of her?" ”

As the former set his eyes on Long Jiaojiao's body, Truman looked at it for a while before he smiled lightly and said, "Sort of." ”

Listening to Truman's words, the coachman smiled and nodded.

He said slowly: "The boss doesn't have to feel embarrassed, life in the world, there are three categories, for the name of money and beauty, these are the pursuits that a man should have." ”

"Life is a long road, and some people can give up everything to pursue, but they can also do it."

"Pursuit?"

Hearing the former's words, Truman couldn't help laughing.

"So, you think I gave up something like that to pursue her?"

The coachman looked over with some confusion, "Isn't it?" ”

"Didn't the boss elope with the girl in the carriage?"

Truman's laughter was even louder, and he didn't shy away from it, and said directly and loudly: "Elopement? Haha, if I could, I'd rather get rid of the woman in the back. ”

Truman's voice was very loud, so Long Jiaojiao in the carriage naturally heard it.

Of course, as a person who uses kung fu, she naturally heard what they said to Truman before.

Long Jiaojiao didn't care.

With a faint smile on her face, she continued to look outside.

The coachman was even more confused.

He scratched his head, and couldn't think of a reason for it for a while.

Although he had not heard the two of them talking in front of the carriage before, the boss had entered the carriage with the woman, and had been in it for so long.

Truman looked at him and said with a smile: "You guessed accurately, and you can be regarded as living up to your reputation as a fortune teller." ”

"That's it, that's the end of my identity, why don't you guess what will happen to me in the future?"

The coachman smiled, led the horse rope and hit the thin horse, so that the speed was two points faster, and then said with a light smile: "Looking at the boss's face at this time, there is still a big thing to happen in the near future." ”

"This major event is related to the life of the boss, and if you are not careful, you are likely to die here."

Truman smiled lightly and said, "Continue?" ”

The coachman glanced around, as if he had seen a figure clearly, and then continued: "Of course, this major event is not unavoidable, if the boss had made a choice earlier, and had chosen life between life and money, he would have been able to save his life." ”

Truman slowly raised his head, looked at the newborn sunrise in front of him, and said slowly: "So, when I save my life, do I need to pay wealth?" ”

The coachman laughed, and he said: "Life and wealth are undoubtedly more valuable, as long as life is still there, with the status of the boss, it must be a very simple thing to earn money." ”

Speaking of this, the coachman's face turned slightly colder.

"No?"

Truman shook his head, "Although I am indeed as down-and-out as you say, I am not the kind of person who can easily take advantage of some people, and they will definitely pay for it." ”

With that, Truman turned his gaze to the coachman.

......

The sun rises slowly.

As time passed, it was already rising to the top in a matter of moments.

Spring is coming, summer is coming.

The sun shining brightly from above made the earth a little hot.

Since Zhengcheng came out, but five miles later, there is a trail, this trail is the road to Yangzhou City after all, and because this trail is narrow, and there are many trees on both sides, so this trail has become a place often visited by bandits.

And they often get good things here.

Right now, there is a group of bandits buried next to this road.

They wore very hidden clothes and buried their whole bodies in the weeds beside the woods.

But no matter how well they hid it, the long knife placed outside was still very dazzling in the sun's rays.

Hiding in front of the bandit was a naked man, who looked at the trail and said very unpleasantly: "What's the matter? Since the morning, there has been news that the fish has been hooked, and now that so much time has passed, how come the fortune teller dog has not brought people here. ”

Next to the big man, a very weak and petite figure said, "Boss, did he lie to us?" ”

The bandit boss snorted coldly and said, "How dare he?" ”

"But don't forget, his wife and children are still in our hands."

The thief next to him said: "But at this time, it stands to reason that it should have arrived." ”

The thief boss thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, wait a while, read his letter that he is a rich man, I hope not to disappoint me, otherwise, he will be good-looking." ”

Listening to the boss's words, a lewd glint flashed in the eyes of the weak thief next to him.

"Then, Boss, if he really betrayed us, can his wife ......?"

The boss didn't reply, and said, "I've rewarded you." ”

"Boss Xie."

......

Just a moment after the two men had spoken, a carriage slowly drove up at the end of the trail.

The weak thief came a little closer, and when he saw it first, he hurriedly said, "The boss is here, and the style of the carriage is the one of the fortune tellers." ”

The bandit boss looked over, and sure enough, he saw a carriage slowly coming.

"It's his carriage, little ones, ready."

"Wait!"

The weak bandit hurriedly stopped.

"Boss, it's a little weird, why is there no one sitting in front of the carriage, and the fortune teller is not driving the carriage in front."

The boss hesitated, and he looked at the carriage.

There was clearly something on the carriage, which could be seen by the flattened wheels.

And it was so flattened that there was at least one person on top of the small carriage.

The boss was ruthless and said, "No matter." ”

"Why don't you just cut it off."

"Yes!"

With a command from the boss.

Immediately, all the bandits jumped out of the jungle with their big knives.

There were no less than twenty bandits, and the trail was blocked in an instant.

Carrying the big knife on his shoulder, the thief boss's true anger exploded, accompanied by a loud shout,

"I opened this mountain, I opened this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave it to buy road wealth."

Hearing this, the people in the carriage couldn't help but laugh.

"Do thieves talk like this when they rob money?"

It was a woman's voice.

"Woman."

"Haha, I didn't expect this Lao Luo to not only bring money to Lao Tzu, but also a woman."

"Little ones, take it for me."

Hearing a woman's voice, the bandit naturally became restless.

Under the orders of the bandit boss, a number of bandits immediately rushed towards the carriage.

But at this moment, another voice came from the carriage.

This voice was none other than Truman, and he said coldly: "Are you sure you want to rob me?" ”

"When I get to this road, there are still people I don't dare to rob."

Speaking of this, Shi Youcai's face brought a lewd smile, and said: "Brother, the woman who spoke just now is your woman, this woman's voice is crisp and pleasant, and she is also a beauty, if you don't give up the beauty to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will let you go." ”

Hearing this, Truman in the carriage said to Long Jiaojiao beside him with a hint of a smile: "You stay, I leave, it's a good deal." ”

Shi Youcai's words before made Long Jiaojiao dislike, but at this time, listening to Chu Men's words, her face revealed a trace of murderous intent.

"Do you think it's a good deal?"

Looking at the former's annoyed face, Truman's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective." ”

Speaking of this, he looked outside and said, "You also heard it just now, this beauty, he doesn't agree." ”

"If you don't agree, then you can't help her."

After saying that, Shi Youcai snorted coldly, and then took the first step towards the carriage.

At the moment when Shi Youcai took a step, Truman spoke: "Why do you want to die like that?" ”

Truman's words were extremely vague, and Shi Youcai certainly wouldn't think it was addressed to him.

And at this moment, the door of the carriage opened, a strong wind blew, and Long Jiaojiao had already flown out of the carriage.

Although Long Jiaojiao's strength is only sixth-rank, but under the care of those ninth-rank generals all the year round, her strength is naturally not as simple as an ordinary sixth-rank.

Ordinary Seventh Rank couldn't go through a few rounds in her hands, let alone these bandits.

"Boom, boom!"

"Ahhhh

In just two incense sticks, it was already quiet outside the carriage.

Long Jiaojiao also opened the curtain and walked in in a quiet moment.

With a lift of his hand, and then a little bit of force, he straightened his slightly messy hair and sat in the car.

A series of movements, extremely chic.

Truman opened the door and looked out, and sure enough, all twenty thieves had already fallen to the ground, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

"You killed them?"

Long Jiaojiao said coldly: "I'm afraid that I will dirty my hands if I kill them." ”

"It's just that some means were used to make them ordinary people and be in a coma for two days."

Hearing the former say this, Truman was relieved.

As an official, he still believed in the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, and although these people did many evils, they were also guilty of not death.
