Chapter 416: Rest Shop
The three hundred palace character camp galloped north, the baggage was in the center, behind the palace of the family, next to Chang Yu Le Ma Road, looking back at the closed door for a long time, he suddenly felt a cold forehead.
It's snowing!
Li Tiezhu and Wu Zhongren, who were on the side, couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
The white debris between heaven and earth flew into the air, and the little eunuch was arrogant and walked up!
The horse galloped wildly, the cold wind whistled in his ears, and the snow foam hit his face, but it was difficult to resist his arrogance in his chest at this time, Wu Zhong beat the horse and barely followed, Li Tiezhu led more than ten families to be wanton and arrogant, and shouted in his mouth.
There are hares in the mountains, pheasants occasionally appear, Chang Yu takes a bow and releases arrows, his archery is small, although the hand injury has not healed but hunting some small game is not affected, it can be said that there are hundreds of shots, and they have their own horses to pick up.
"Wu Zhong, do you know how to shoot arrows?" The little eunuch gained a lot, and his face was showy.
"Not good" Wu Zhong is an honest man, although he is powerful, he can open a bow, and his arrows go sideways.
The group of people galloped wildly, sometimes hunting in the mountains, and unconsciously stuck at the end of the team for more than ten miles.
There is a river flowing into the sea in front, the river is frozen, Chang Yu Lema pointed to the other side of the mountain on the bank: "A few miles up is the Great Wall on the water, the name is a stone, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng almost fought there."
Li Tiezhu and Wu Zhong frowned, when did Li Zicheng come here, and what did he mean when he almost fought with Wu Sangui.
The little eunuch smiled but did not say a word, and crossed the river to chase the horse team.
The left mountain and the right sea are all vast in the eyes, and there is another desolate scene outside the plug, Chang Yu dozens of horses are not far away, not close to follow the rear of the brigade to enjoy the customs outside the pass.
There are obviously many fewer villages in the place they pass through than in the Guannai, and they are scattered to the extreme, or because there are often troops passing by, the villagers are used to it, and there is not much panic.
There is a shop in front, along the head of the village, a grass house, surrounded by airtight wind, hanging a sign, the word "rest" is like an earthworm coiled on the top.
Chang Yu is curious, in the bitter cold land, when the war is torn, there are few merchants who come and go, and what kind of livelihood can he make when he makes this rest shop.
"Master Jun, rest your feet, there is tea, wine and meat, it's cheap!" A rough man greeted with a smile at the door of the store.
In front of the little eunuch Lermadian, the guy looked at the dozens of big men with knives in front of him, and smiled more humbly: "Master Jun, please."
Before noon, Chang Yu was not hungry, but he did have a dry mouth all the way, so he jumped off the horse and entered the store, and there were really a lot of people at a glance.
Three or five tables were full, all of them were rough men, and those carrying baskets and bags looked like they were passing by, and when they saw people with knives coming in, these people seemed a little flustered, and they consciously gave up a table.
"Let's have a pot of tea" Chang Yu sat down and began to look at the grass shed, Wu Zhong stood sideways with a knife, and Li Tiezhu led more than ten families at the door of the store.
gave Wu Zhong a look, and Master Wu sat down obediently.
The guy brought a pot of tea: "Master Jun, do you want to order anything else?" ”
Chang Yu shook his head, and threw away the broken silver, and the man was very grateful.
Tea is naturally not a good tea, just use Chang Yu to smell it, but it can quench your thirst, poured a bowl and was just about to drink, Wu Zhong reached out and grabbed it and opened his mouth to drink.
Chang Yu was furious, this kid was getting more and more unorthodox, so he had to teach him a lesson.
Who knew that he hadn't made a move yet, but Wu Zhong made a preemptive move, lifted the table, and slashed the guy with a knife.
Chang Yu was stunned, and when he saw the customers in the store draw their knives and pounce on them, he reacted, and the grass and mud horses ......
The embroidered spring knife came out of the sheath, overturned a thief, and rolled out of the door on the spot, without opening his mouth, Li Tiezhu had already led his family to kill him.
The sound of killing in the shed suddenly rose, and before half a cup of tea, Wu Zhong took the lead in walking out with a knife, the tip of the knife dripping blood, and the murderous aura leaked sideways.
Die seven, capture four! Li Tiezhu pulled out a miserable howling man and brought it to Chang Yu.
"Who instructed it?" Chang Yu's face was expressionless.
"Master Jun, the little one doesn't have long eyes, spare your life!"
Chang Yu sneered and said nothing, and the iron pillar slashed down, splashing blood five steps.
I pressed another one, urinated, and chopped.
Another one, crazy, chopped.
The last one, gritted his teeth and spit out a mouthful of blood at Chang Yu and cut it.
"Report to the Governor, I have inquired in the village, this is a group of thieves in the horseshoe ditch in the mountains, this is one of their points, and they often calculate the merchants here." A family member came to report in a hurry.
Chang Yu sneered, he is not a merchant, even the army dares to rob? Or do these people actually know his identity at all, and they have a purpose?
Nine times out of ten, there are many thieves outside the border who are defeated and ruined, and they do all kinds of evil, but they rarely clash head-on with the army, perhaps because of their origins, and the army rarely takes the initiative to suppress bandits.
Most of these bandits are from the border army, whether they fight alone or act together, they are extremely strong, and the general family guards are not their opponents, that is, if the more than ten people in front of them are not Wu Zhong, the big master, it is not easy for the more than ten families led by Li Tiezhu to slaughter them so quickly, even if these families are all the original Jiang Jiu's family members, the force is also outstanding.
Is it accidental or inevitable, if it is inevitable, who wants to kill himself, first the unpredictable killer, and then this gang of bandits, who is the person behind it, the gang of bigwigs in the capital?
Those bigwigs can find a master like Wu Zhong, and the ghosts can naturally be driven, but their tentacles can reach the thieves' den outside the gate?
Or is it ...... Chang Yu looked due north, and the snowflakes were dancing charmingly.
"How do you know there's medicine in the tea?" The lesson from the previous car, the further north Chang Yu did not dare to be careless, and ordered the Gongzi battalion to be cautious when marching, and couldn't help but ask Wu Zhong with curiosity.
"The overseer lives deep in the palace, and he doesn't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister."
"And how did you see through their identity?" Chang Yu asked again.
"The humble once fell grass" Wu Zhong was silent for a while, the little eunuch became interested, and asked again, Master Wu was silent.
glanced at an ancient temple on the side of the road, and there were three quaint characters on the plaque, Ciyun Temple.
To the north of Ciyun Temple is to enter the mountain, more than 100 miles away from Ningyuan City, the last fortress outside the Daming Pass.
In the middle of the wind and snow mountains, the night is small, and the banner of the palace camp stretches in the wind, and the hunting sounds.
Two hundred miles outside the pass, Yanshan side, a small city next to the Bohai Sea stands, the name of the city is Ningyuan, the Qing army has returned here many times, Huang Taiji has suffered all the hardships here, and now it is the only fortress left outside the Ming Pass, Liaodong has long existed in name only.
Even Li Yutian, the last governor of Liaodong, may have applied to return to Beijing for promotion because of the touching of the scene, and became the imperial history of the right capital, leaving only Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong, to be stationed here to guard the last threshold outside the gate of the Ming Dynasty.
Ningyuan City has seen white, the black mountain in the distance is like a demon, looking at the tiger, subduing the city, a person in the city has no jade face, handsome and abnormal, wearing armor, looking at the snowflakes in his palm, looking up at the north, his face is solemn, and he looks at the south and raises his eyebrows.
The slaughter of people has entered the customs, when it is fast, it is slow, and when it is slow, it dawns to Ningyuan.
The capital is nearly a thousand miles away, and it takes three or four days to come quickly, and if it is really strong, it is still a dismount.
The dog eunuch kills people like hemp, and he hears that he is cruel and ruthless
Several generals around him muttered, all kinds of dissatisfaction on their faces, the eunuchs are all useless, they will fight a battle, they will only point fingers, they are greedy and wanton, and they finally get a prison army and an overseer.
If it weren't for the murderous and cruel viciousness, how could it be called Dongchang, this little eunuch had such a bad reputation, and he couldn't clash with him head-on.
Wu Sangui's face was expressionless, and his eyes looked at the mountains in the distance with a mysterious look.
If he knows that he is two pounds and two pennies, if he doesn't kill him, this army is in chaos, and it is very simple to find a reason, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
Heh, there was a sneer on the corner of Wu Sangui's mouth, but he didn't speak.
