[0131 The Pursuers Follow]

When the time was about to end, that is, at six o'clock in the morning, when it was almost seven o'clock, the second master of the old Lin Zi Gang and the new third master Hou San, led people to the main road and the small road leading to Funingwei respectively.

The teams of the two people arrived almost at the same time, because although the main road was far away from the old forest cottage, compared to the small road, the two teams took different routes when they set off from the cottage, and the people who took the big road knew that the distance was a little farther and the speed was faster, so they arrived almost at the same time.

At this time, Wei Bao's team, and Wang Zhankui's porter's team, who was preparing to set off at the same time as him, were still undispatched in the inn in Haiyang Town. Wei Bao's plan is to set off on time, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning.

In ancient times, there were no clocks, but Wei Bao carried his mobile phone with him to check the time, and the people of the Ming Dynasty already had a complete set of techniques for mastering the time, which was not much different from the standard time.

Hou San's team of 20 handmaidens went to the main road, and angrily led a group of footmen who were tied up and covered to meet Chang Wuye on the small road. Hou San didn't bother to wait for Wei Bao to come, after arresting people during the day yesterday, he waited for Wei Bao's team at the outpost, who knew that after waiting for more than two hours, he didn't even wait for a ghost. Thinking that Wei Bao must be the same as yesterday, he sent a group of porters to fool them every few hours.

Everyone has horses, but the speed of horses in the jungle is not fast, and it took Hou San another half an hour to meet Chang Wuye.

After the two discussed, they decided not to wait, and went back to the cottage first.

In fact, whether it is the big boss of the old Lin Zi Gang Zhen Tianbei, or the second master of the family and the current third master Hou San, the three of them know very well what Wei Bao's intention is to play tricks like this? Just to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and break through the level when they are tired and careless.

Chang Wuye originally had to wait a little longer, mainly because Hou San was not happy, Hou San and the big boss Zhentianbei were not very intimate, and felt that Zhentianbei couldn't look down on him, and after Tan's injury this time, it should have been a natural thing to let himself take the position to replace Tan's madman, but Hou San felt that Zhentianbei had not announced it explicitly until now, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and he was unwilling to work too hard for Zhentianbei, he felt that the big master of the cottage was Zhentianbei, and everything in the cottage was Zhentianbei.

At this time, when it was almost time, Wei Bao's team and Wang Zhankui's team set off from Haiyang Town. If Chang Wuye and Hou San's centaurs can stay where they are, like yesterday, wait for an hour or two more, they will be effective today, and they will definitely be able to collide with Wei Bao!

It's not that Wei Bao's calculations are accurate, in fact, the chance of him and the Silks Gang team meeting is very small, unless they are particularly unlucky, they will happen to collide together, Wei Bao's luck has always been okay.

Wei Bao and Wang Zhankui went out of Haiyang Town and were about to part ways, and the two rode side by side.

Although none of the four porters who went in front of him came back, Wang Zhankui was still a tough guy and left without hesitation.

"If you are caught by the Silk Gang, I will definitely try to rescue you, spend money, and fight hard!" Wei Bao said to Wang Zhankui. Wei Bao is not hypocritical, although these porters come to do things for themselves because of their heavy money and temptation, but after all, they are all poor people, otherwise they would not have taken this trip in such bad weather and such a dangerous environment. If they die for it, Wei Bao knows he will feel guilty.

"Thank you, Master Wei! Wei Gongzi is the most righteous proprietor I have ever met, and he is so generous to porters like us. Wang Zhankui arched his hand and said happily and sincerely.

Wei Bao said solemnly: "It's over!" Take care all the way! ”

"Wei Gongzi, take care!" After Wang Zhankui finished speaking, he remembered something, he left the silver at the counter of the inn, and let the inn keep it on his behalf, if they can come back, the money will be useful, if they die in the hands of the silk helper, the money is just something outside their body for them, eighty percent of the innkeeper wants to be cheap, the innkeeper has no friendship with them, it is not worth it: "The 50 taels of silver given by the son and a little loose silver that we brought with us, I put it on the inn cabinet, Childe, if we can't come back, please take the silver away, most of the porters have no family, A small number of people with small families asked the son to divide the silver and give it to their families. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it! Visible every day! Wei Bo swore an oath. No matter how greedy you are, you can't be greedy for the little money that the porters have earned with their lives.

"You can trust Wei Gongzi's character. Take care, Childe! After Wang Zhankui finished speaking, he set off with the team.

Wei Bao looked at Wang Zhankui's back, nodded and said, "A good man!" ”

Lin Wenbiao also said: "It's good, it can be seen that he is a loyal and righteous person." ”

"Drive!" Wei Bao nodded, and also took his entourage and carriage on the road.

When Wei Bao and his party approached the checkpoint set up by the Silk Gang, Lin Wenbiao reminded: "Childe, the checkpoint is not far ahead. ”

In fact, Wei Bao thought about letting Lin Wenbiao go over and design three silk sentry posts alone, and Lin Wenbiao also thought about this problem, but neither side raised it.

If Lin Wenbiao went to design the three lockworm sentry posts, it was actually extremely simple, because the three locks didn't know that Lin Wenbiao had gone out of the cottage with Tan Madman and Bai Yougen, Lin Wenbiao casually found an excuse, just said that Tan Madman had died, Bai Yougen left, he returned to the cottage alone, and the three lockworm guards would definitely not suspect it, and then he could easily subdue the three lockworm posts.

But Lin Wenbiao can't do such a thing, people who have been rolling on the rivers and lakes all the year round value the word righteousness, and it is okay to help Wei Bao, but directly attack the previous brothers, the nature is different.

Wei Bao was originally waiting for Lin Wenbiao to take the initiative, but Lin Wenbiao never brought it up, so Wei Bao guessed that Lin Wenbiao was unwilling, so there was no possibility of talking to Lin Wenbiao about this kind of action.

Three locks, in fact, Wei Bao didn't pay too much attention to it, because he was the first to go to social places, and in this dangerous situation, he usually hid in the middle or behind, and did not come out, and no one knew him, nine people against three people, there must be a chance to sneak attack.

"Let's go!" Wei Bao replied to Lin Wenbiao, which was equivalent to giving an order to everyone, and he did not hesitate at all.

"Yes, Childe." Everyone said yes in unison and continued on their way.

Lin Wenbiao said: "Childe, I'll cover my face, it's best not to let the Silkworm Gang know that Brother Tan and I have taken refuge in Childe, it won't do Childe any good." ”

Wei Bao nodded: "You think very thoughtfully, you may not be able to kill three people in a row, in case there is a lock that escapes through the net, it will definitely send back the news that you have taken refuge in me, they know very little about my situation, and after I have the three of you, I know a lot about the situation of Zhentianbei Cottage, this is our biggest advantage." ”

Madman Tan nodded and said, "Not bad." Then they covered their mouths and noses with a black cloth, revealing only their two eyes, and those of them, who were accustomed to making braids, had several of them on their bodies at all times, both to cover their faces and to use as a first-aid cloth to bandage their wounds.

Wei Bao deliberately took two steps behind, drove his horse to the back of the line, lit a cigarette at the same time, and checked the two revolvers hidden in his sleeve, everything was ready!

Although he has only done this kind of thing twice, Wei Bao seems to be very talented in this regard, not only can he shoot the gun accurately without a teacher, but now he is not nervous, and he seems to have the natural potential to be a killer.

Smoking a cigarette at this time is not so much nervous, but rather exciting!

There are a total of three guards in the sentry, one person who is responsible for checking the road stays on the side of the road, and the other two people are resting in the hidden shack located two hundred steps behind.

The sentry in charge of inspecting the road saw a large group of tall horses and two carriages, and secretly thought that the main owner had arrived, so he did not dare to come down rashly, but took the lead in blowing the whistle.

The sound of the whistle was unusually sharp in the mountains, piercing the sky.

Lin Wenbiao turned back to Wei Bao and said, "They have already discovered us, and the people watching the road are greeting the two people in the shack." ”

Wei Bao nodded, his eyes were open, and he had secretly held the revolver in his hand!

The sentry who was watching the road did not dare to lean over and yelled: "Stop! He didn't draw his sword, but stood directly on a small hill with his bow and arrows, the reason why he chose this place is not only conducive to blocking passers-by, but also conducive to retreating, it is a good terrain.

Because they were civilians, Wei Bao's people did not bring self-defense weapons, all of them were wooden sticks, and even Lin Wenbiao did not bring knives and bows.

Being yelled at by the sentry of the silk sentry, Wei Bao and all the entourages stopped, this is what Wei Bao had ordered before, don't resist, everything is waiting for his order!

Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou and Wei Bao's entourage all looked at Wei Bao nervously, and everyone held short sticks in their hands.

"Listen to them!" Wei Bao said softly.

The other two locks in the shack had already run over with bows and arrows, standing behind the side of the talker, forming a three-point wrap posture, and not standing together.

This makes Wei Bao more admirable for the locks, Lin Wenbiao is right, the locks are smarter than ordinary people, although they can't go through any militarized training, but this is equivalent to automatically standing in a skirmisher line, if you want to hit three locks in a row, it's completely impossible, because the farthest locks are 30 meters away from him, can he be sure is one thing, he shoots people continuously, after firing a shot, the other two locks will stand in place and let him continue to beat himself? I'm sure I'm going to run!

They must be led to the side and look for opportunities! Wei Bao secretly wondered.

"Report the number!" The handmaiden who spoke before said loudly.

"We are the foot shop hired by Boss Wu Shien Wu of Shanhaiguan! Our Boss Wu is a member of Wu Sanfeng and Wu Dagongzi, and he is friends with your big boss Zhentianbei, are you from Lao Linzi? Fan replied loudly, these were the answers that Wei Bao had made with him before.

The handmaiden who spoke frowned, Wu Shien? Haven't you heard of it, isn't it Wei Bao? I exchanged glances with the other two dreadlocks standing in the distance! The other two lockeds asked him to ask.

"What are you shipping? Where is it going to be shipped? Let people take the road and bring it over! The handmaiden said loudly, the bow and arrow in his hand were not put down, and the other two handkerchiefs were still sitting ready to launch the bow and arrow at any time, facing Wei Bao and his party, of course, the three of them could not trace everyone, but they were outflanked, and condescending, really shooting, Wei Bao and the others would be very passive.

"What kind of guide do we need to go to Funingwei? If you don't believe it, come and see! The wagon was full of charcoal! "Fan's head is also clever, casual is nonsense, he has discussed the specific details with Wei Bao before, in short, he wants to lure the three of them to his side, Fan Tou knows that the closer Gongzi's 'secret weapon' is, the more sure and powerful it is.

When the three lockers heard that the car was pulling charcoal, not leather goods, they relaxed a little, and the two distant locks got closer, so that the locks who had been talking on the hill were closest to the mountain to check, and the two of them continued to monitor with bows and arrows.

The current situation is not surprising that Wei Bao expected it before, but he was secretly anxious about the 'experienced way' of the locks, and there were actually two people who never came, seeing that the distance between the two locks was about 25 meters, and they didn't stand together, after killing the nearest locks first, and then trying to kill the two locks in a row, it was quite difficult! If you don't hit it once, with the physical fitness and familiarity of the dreadlocks with the terrain, it will definitely be farther and more difficult to shoot again!

The handkerchief on the hill bag collected the bow and arrows, put it on his back, and pulled out his long knife down, very vigilant.

Fan said loudly: "We are all friends, we have good wine in the car, take a few jars to try it?" ”

Fan's head is a bit of a drawback, it's okay not to say it, as soon as he said it, the handmaiden with the knife became more vigilant, and he didn't lean over, and went down the mountain bag, about ten meters away from Wei Bao and the others: "Pull the carriage over, let me see what is inside!" Fast! ”

"It's all charcoal, hehe. said that it was a friend, why is my brother so nervous? Fan said with a big smile. He has a relaxed mouth, but his brain is already sweating profusely, after all, he is not from a 'professional' background, and he is inevitably afraid at such a moment.

Seeing that Fan's big head seemed to have an incorrect expression, the handmaiden with the knife looked at Wei Bao and the others suspiciously, and instinctively took two steps back.

Wei Bao saw that the other party would not give himself a chance to kill at close range no matter what, so he raised his hand directly! Smack! Take the knife and fall to the ground!

This shot, Wei Bao is very sure, and does not stop, 2 seconds later, because he only uses a revolver, he can hold the handle of the gun with both hands to shoot to increase accuracy, and snap another shot! Hit the head of a dyed man in the distance with exceptional accuracy!

This marksmanship was accurate, and even Wei Bao himself was stunned, but he didn't have time to rejoice, aiming and shooting the last lock.

It takes 2 seconds to kill one, and it is actually still 2 seconds to kill two people, because the time is not counted until the first person is killed, and it takes nearly 4 seconds to aim at the third person! The third person was slow to react, and when he saw his two companions fall to the ground one after another, he instinctively shot an arrow and jumped backwards and retreated!

The people around Wei Bao didn't expect Wei Bao's secret weapon to be so powerful! It was too late to see Wei Gongzi's secret weapon, and shouted in Wei Bao: "Don't let him run away!" After that, everyone rode their horses in pursuit!

Wei Bao personally rode a horse to the small hill where the handmaiden with the knife had stood before, and saw that the fleeing handmaiden had entered the dense forest in an instant, and secretly said that it was a pity! Hurriedly yelled: "I can't catch up!" It's important to hurry! ”

War horses enter the woods, unless they have high riding skills, they can be about the same speed as those who walk, not to mention that Wei Bao's subordinates can only ride horses, far from being able to ride horses, and are good at riding.

If the riding skills are divided into five ranks, these people are all in the fifth class, and Lin Wenbiao is only the second class at most, and it is not the first class.

"Yes, listen to Childe, don't chase it, it's important to hurry!" Lin Wenbiao also loudly echoed Wei Bao's order.

Everyone turned their horses' heads and returned, saying that this place was good for the lock to escape.

"Now we are less than 30 miles away from Funingwei, as long as the large number of silk horses is not nearby, it will be difficult for them to catch up with us! Gotta get out of here. Lin Wenbiao said to Wei Bao: "Son, it will be safe when you arrive in Funingwei." ”

"Let's go!" Wei Bao nodded, urging the war horse under his crotch to launch and take the lead.

No one hit the bow and arrow that the lock fired in a hurry just now, but the force was so great that it shot into the edge of the carriage, Fan pulled out the arrow twice in his head, but he didn't pull it out, and said, "This lock is so strong, it actually shoots so deep?" ”

"This person is just an ordinary character, and to be able to be a lock, you must be able to draw a hard bow, not everyone can eat this bowl of rice." Lin Wenbiao went up and pulled out the arrow at once, and handed it to Fan's head.

Fan's big head was playing with it in his hand while riding a horse, and he was amazed: "Amazing." ”

Lin Wenbiao went to search the bodies of the two killed locks, and handed over the scattered silver taels and two pigeons found from them to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao nodded to Lin Wenbiao, praised with his eyes, and secretly thought that it was good for Lin Wenbiao not to hide things privately, "Give it to Deputy Steward Liu." Will you use this pigeon? ”

"Yes, Childe. I will use these pigeons, but these are trained pigeons, they know the place, and it will take time to train other places. Lin Wenbiao said, "These pigeons are extremely precious. You can't practice it without half a year, and it's very difficult to raise. ”

Wei Bao nodded, in modern times, I remember watching TV once saw a lot of friends who were addicted to raising pigeons, it seems that the number of this part of the people is still very large, and the secret way is indeed a very interesting thing, "You keep the pigeon, and when the time comes, we will also make a network of flying pigeons." ”

Lin Wenbiao didn't know what the Internet meant, but he could probably guess: "Yes, Childe." ”

Seeing that Wei Bao and the others did not chase after him, the fleeing silk saw that Wei Bao and the others did not chase after him, and sat under the tree and gasped a few times, almost scaring his courage just now! I don't understand what kind of secret weapon the person who sent the secret weapon? It's too domineering! Hurriedly took out a pigeon from his bosom, tied a mark to the pigeon's feet, and released the message!

At this time, the second master of the old Lin Zi Gang and the third master Hou San had just returned to the cottage with people, and they were very irritable in the middle of the morning, and after saying a few words to the big boss Zhentianbei, they went back to sleep.

Zhentianbei successively received the news from the big road and the small road, he first looked at the news of the small road, but did not expect Wei Bao to let a group of porters come to deceive people empty-handed, and then looked at the news of the big road, thinking that it was still the same as the small road, when he took off the mark tied to the pigeon's feet, he was immediately startled and stood up all of a sudden.

I didn't expect that two brothers died, and they were rushed over by Wei Bao, and there were only 9 people on the other side!

"Come and find the second and third masters!" The stakes are very high, and they must be discussed with their subordinates, and Zhentianbei can't take care of Chang Wuye and Hou San since noon yesterday, they have already run twice in vain, and they are angry.

The subordinates hurriedly went to shout, Chang Wuye and Hou San had just fallen asleep and were called up, they were all full of anger, especially Hou San, who was summoned by the big boss, and he couldn't help but talk, scolding and scolding all the way, and didn't stop until the door of the tiger hall.

"Big boss, what's the matter? Wei Bao asked the porter to lure us to fetch people again? Hou San chattered non-stop: "If you don't go, just let the sentry open the killing ring, and all the porters called by Wei Bao will be killed." ”

Zhentianbei heard Hou San come over and scolded all the way just now, all of which were saying that he was soft-hearted and would not be in charge, his face was blue with anger, and he didn't talk to Hou San, and only when Chang Wuye came over did he give the mark to Chang Wuye.

Chang Wuye was shocked: "Two brothers died? Wei Bao has a total of 9 people, and he has already rushed over? Still with two truckloads of goods? ”

Earthquake Heaven North nodded, "What should I do now?" ”

"Chase! I didn't say anything, I'll take Hou San and others from the mountain road to the avenue to chase after me, they can't run fast with two truckloads of goods! They can catch up before they enter Funingwei! Even if they run fast, as long as they don't enter Funingwei and continue to hurry, we can intercept and kill halfway from Funingwei to Lulong. Chang Wuye said.

"Good! If you can catch it alive, it's the best if you can't catch it alive, so take the lead and come back, I want to ask for credit from Master Wu! Zhentianbei slapped his face.

"Don't worry!" Chang Wuye and Hou San hugged their fists at the same time and agreed, this time Hou San no longer complained, the death of Lao Linzi is a big deal, the cottage has been at least five years old, and no one has died because someone rushed to the checkpoint. Because of the support of the Wu family behind the old forest cottage, the people on the official side will not go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, and the green forests nearby are the only ones they can do. Now that the two brothers have died, everyone is full of anger in their hearts, and they want to kill Wei Bao and then hurry up.

Wei Bao and the others rushed to Funingwei from the starting point, and it took more than an hour, which was because they had good horses.

From the time Lao Linzi Cottage received the news to the time he set off, the mountain road turned to the avenue to chase Wei Bao and the others, and it was almost an hour, because they were all fast horses, everyone didn't need to take extra things, just carry weapons with them, and set off without much preparation.

"Childe, they can catch up with us in an hour at the earliest, we can't do it at this speed!" Lin Wenbiao said while riding a horse with two people and helping to push the carriage: "I originally thought that there were good horses that could run faster, but this kind of horse is used to pull goods, which is similar to ordinary horses!" Why don't you go first, let's rush to Funingwei to meet Childe as soon as possible! ”

Wei Bao said decisively: "Let's go!" Don't say it, it's a big deal to wait for the locks to chase after us, let's throw away the carriage and run, it's still too late! No matter how valuable things are, they are all outside the body! ”

Lin Wenbiao knew that the two carriages were full of high-quality furs, including precious tiger skins and bear skins, which were transported to the customs and were at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

When everyone heard Wei Bao say this, they were also in a desperate hurry, pushing the carriage with all their might, and they were all sweating in a hurry.

Originally, everyone had to persuade Wei Bao to take the first step, they would swear to protect the goods to Funingwei to meet Wei Bao, now these words needless to say, Wei Bao himself is here, it is more convenient to control the timing of whether to abandon the goods and run away, such a valuable goods, others really can't be the master, when the time comes to delay a little, it is estimated that the goods have not been saved, and everyone has become a ghost under the knife of the locks.

Wei Bao is relatively calm, although he also helps with the cart, but he is not impatient, it's not that he has changed his personality, and he doesn't value money seriously, but after being reborn, it does make Wei Bao's insight go to a higher level, how to say that he now has certain assets, and there are a bunch of medium bosses who follow him! Human life is more important than property, and this kind of truth can still be understood.

But Wei Bao was also a little anxious, mainly not worried about the loss of goods, but worried that because of the loss of goods, he would lose this opportunity to go to Hejian Mansion to open up a trade route!

As a modern person, Wei Bao's business insight is naturally higher than that of people of this era, and he deeply understands the importance of the platform! The market of Shanhaiwei is too small, and the market of the entire Yongping Mansion is still too small.

You have good goods, but you don't have customers, no matter how good the goods are, you can't sell them for a price, what's the use? So the platform is far more important than the commodity!

Just like in modern times, with the development of the Internet, many businesses don't even need capital, and women can make money by twisting their butts a few times in live broadcasts, and even tens of millions of dollars a year, where would people dare to think about this ten or twenty years ago? Not to mention the people of the Ming Dynasty.

When Fu Ningwei's city wall was in sight, Wei Bao breathed a sigh of relief, "Hurry up, there is Fu Ningwei in front, I have already seen it!" ”

"Childe! Oh no! The Silkworm Gang is catching up! As soon as Wei Bao's words fell, Lin Wenbiao came to say this.

Wei Bao was startled, hurriedly looked back, and saw nothing! "Where?"

"I already hear the sound of horses' hooves, and in the blink of an eye, the silk should catch up with us before we reach Funingwei! To Funingwei, there is at least a stick of incense! Lin Wenbiao said urgently.

Wei Bao's nervous atrium was pounding, and his heart seemed to be about to pop out.
