Chapter Twenty-Three: Another Bandit
They were already some distance away from the river. The road south of the Yangtze River was winding, and they chased down the officers and soldiers, and they could not see the riverbank.
Qin Mu ordered the sentry posts to be arranged before and after, and the rest of the people rested on the spot.
Jia Hongxian and Fang Haoyin surrounded Qin Mu.
"It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, how could my cousin be in such danger." Jia Hongxian unceremoniously accused Fang Haoyin.
Fang Haoyin did not show weakness.
Since it has reached this point, everyone is in the same boat, what's the point of accusing each other, not to mention that there are her subordinates all around, even for the sake of the saint's face, she can't weaken her momentum.
"Hmph, sister, is there any use in saying this? If it's useless, don't mention it again, don't disturb your cousin to think about things. ”
Fang Haoyin pushed her back without being soft or hard.
The tone was blunt, but the title was accurate, giving Jia Hongxian enough face.
She also changed her name to cousin. You can't call it a brother-in-law, so how can you be considered your own man, and you can't call it an official, it's closer than Jia Hongxian, just follow her and call her.
They quarreled around Qin Mu, the guards didn't care at all, they all stared at Qin Mu, as if they were looking at immortals.
They had already seen it at night, but because it was night, and Jia Hongxian was firing at the bow of the ship, many people couldn't see it clearly. Today, they all saw Qin Mu's movements clearly.
Young Master Qin took out an iron rod, and after three sounds, that Song Jun died.
Then he threw out three unknown things, landed like a thunderbolt, and killed dozens of Song soldiers on the shore, and the rest all ran away.
Shi Bao was originally going to lead the team to rush hard, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, all the enemies were eliminated by Qin Mu.
They were also as stunned as Song Jun, and they just subconsciously followed Qin Mu.
Qin Mu stopped and stopped.
Temporarily lost all the ability to think.
Now only Qin Mu is left thinking hard.
What he can rely on is not these people, nor are they all weapons of later generations, but the map of the Great Song Dynasty. However, it would be good if the map drawn by later generations thousands of years ago could be roughly accurate, how could it go deep into the township.
The smallest administrative unit on this map is the county. And Qin Mu felt that it might not be reliable. The only reliable point should be the river, so Qin Mu must not leave the river.
Leaving the river, not only did he lose his bearings, but he didn't even know where he was. At that point, there was no other way but to die.
You have to go back to the river, but how can you get back to the river?
While he was frowning and pondering, a sentry came to report, and a pursuer came up from behind.
Pursuers? Where did it come from?
The sentry report appears to be the Song army on that ship.
Qin Mu thought for a moment, this was reasonable.
There are no cities before or after this stretch, and checkpoints are set up only because of the narrow river. Now the Song army chasing after can only be the officers and soldiers on the ship.
Good! It's good to come.
It was really Song Jun on the boat who was chasing.
The generals who led the troops had not yet figured out what was going on, and the brothers on the shore were already dead and running. Of course he has to chase it, this must be Fang La's remnants, maybe it's Fang La himself. How could he give up such a military feat, so he drove the boat to the shore, left a few brothers to guard it, and took the remaining more than 100 people ashore to chase after him.
The road on the shore is winding, but fortunately, there is only one road, so I don't have to worry about losing it.
It was hilly, and soon they were under a small slope.
I didn't run far after I got off the boat, and before the team dispersed, a group of people huddled together.
Hearing a crisp sound, the leading general fell to the ground on his back, with only the lower half of his head left, and he couldn't survive.
Then came a rain of arrows, and a constant crack.
Qin Mu led his troops to ambush here, just to catch the other party off guard.
If you dare to chase, you are in a hurry.
Intentionally fighting or not, coupled with Jia Honghong's *** bullets, every threatening point of the Song Army was cleared by her, first the officer, then the crossbowman, and then the one who wanted to run.
All were pinned down by a single gun. Qin Mu's Praetorian Guards only needed to desperately release arrows.
A one-sided killing, which ended quickly.
But in the time of a cigarette, more than 100 Song troops turned into dead corpses. This is what Shi Bao led people to clean up the battlefield.
Qin Mu couldn't give such an order, but Shi Bao didn't hesitate. How could they be taken prisoner. The Song soldiers who did not die all mended their knives, and there was not a single living mouth.
"Find a head like the Holy Father." Qin Mu gave the last order to end the ambush.
The team of forty people did not lose a single piece of skin, and they all wiped out more than 100 Song troops, such a record made Fang La's people unbelievable.
If you can do this every time you fight, why is it so difficult to fight Bianliang?
Could it be that this Young Master Qin in front of him is the real "Holy Father".
Qin Mu didn't have time to catch his breath with these people, and the time was very tight.
He brought it in to the river, and at the last turn, ordered the people to stop.
"Red line, set up positions here, and fight archers for a while." Qin Mu gave Jia Hongxian an order.
"Cousin, don't worry." Jia Hongxian is now simply a god of war. A shot *** refers to who dies, and the limelight almost overshadows the saint. Although the saintess is the one on Fang La's side, but the most practical on the battlefield, Fang Haoyin's performance just now is far worse than Jia Hongxian, after all, she is not ***.
"Okay, the rest of us listen to my orders and shout together."
It's a small turn, and if you turn around, you'll be within range of the ship's archers. Qin Mu didn't dare to assume that there was no Song Jun left behind on the ship, after all, the ship was very big, and if there were people in the cabin, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Everyone shouted together, and sure enough, a few Song soldiers came out of the cabin, and one was holding a bow and arrow in his hand.
"Rush, take the ship." Qin Mu gave an order.
A gunshot rang out, and the archer was suddenly out of action.
The guards charged together, and the Song soldiers on the ship were already stunned. How did the chasing person disappear, and the chased person came back.
Soon, the boat fell into Qin Mu's hands, and there was no room for survival.
He ordered to continue on the original small boat, sailed past the narrow waterway at the checkpoint, and then sent someone to run the Song warship sideways on the river.
This will block the pursuers from behind. With the current industrial capacity of the Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely take some time for such a leaky boat to run aground in the river. That's how he lived.
Pack everything and move on. Ahead is Jixi. After this, they will turn into a new river, Jingshui.
Jixi also had a checkpoint for the Song army.
Everyone was a little afraid. This is not just now, just a temporary checkpoint, only one boat of Song Jun.
Jixi is a city, with dozens of Song warships moored on the bank, and countless Song troops at the head of the city. It's daylight now, and the advantage of Qin Mu's night vision device is gone.
Is it still passable?
Qin Mu asked the ship to stop for inspection.
When Song Jun came up, Qin Mu said: "Check quickly, don't delay the big event." This is Fang La's head, and these captives are all important people under Fang La. ”
Qin Mu had already thought of countermeasures during the ambush war. He deliberately asked Shi Bao to find a Song army who was more like Fang La, cut off the head, keep it with lime, and then asked a few guards to change into the clothes of the Shang La army, tied it up and threw it in the cabin, pretending to be a prisoner.
Based on the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty's communications, the Song army in Jixi may not know the situation in Hangzhou. Here it is already far from the front line.
Move out of Tong Guan's big hat, put a head, and add a few prisoners, it is very likely that you can deceive it.
There is also a danger in this strategy, that is, Song Jun, who is afraid of inspection, knows this head.
However, this is a small probability event, and there is nothing risky in the world, even if you eat and are choked to death.
Sure enough, Song Jun was deceived.
Tong Guan is the commander of this time, in charge of all the armies. He caught Fang La, as well as these captives, and hurriedly sent Bianliang to ask the emperor for a reward, this kind of psychology is known to people.
Although it is a bit strange not to go to Hangzhou and Jixi, who knows where Fang La was arrested? Isn't it possible that he was arrested near Jixi?
The Song army didn't dare to stop such a big event, and Jixi rushed over without danger.
There is no checkpoint after passing Jixi.
Tong Guan never imagined that Qin Mu and they could run so far.
So I traveled all the way, passed Jing County, and finally came to the bank of the Yangtze River four days later.
Xuanzhou, Wuhu, a port of the Yangtze River.
There's no need to worry when you get here.
Wuhu merchants and travelers gathered, forty people lost their military uniforms, changed into people's clothes, hired a boat, went up the river, and then returned to the old road when they came, and took the Bianhe River into Bianliang.
By the time of Bianliang, it was almost night. When they entered the city, the gates of Bianliang were closed.
Qin Mu didn't dare to scatter them all on the shore and stay in the guest house, so he rested on the boat collectively.
Finally arrived in Bianliang, he really wanted to go to the Daguang match shop to see, but now is not the time, he has to go out of the city tomorrow, this group of people is not safe in Bianliang City.
Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
Counting the days, there is still one day before the one-month deadline given by Jinsha, and he finally lived up to his friend's trust and didn't let his cowhide blow up.
Traveling thousands of miles all the way, using knives and guns, fighting wits and courage, even if Qin Mu strengthened his body, he couldn't bear it, and when he put down all his worries in Bianliang, he quickly fell asleep.
On this night, the moon was big.
Ren Xiaoxiao was in the bathroom.
She's been very proud lately. Under the careful guidance of Steward Wu, more than a dozen families who successfully forced them to lose their last land, if they did not give her family tenants, then they would either become homeless people, or they would find something to do.
She can't manage to go to Bianliang if she wants to, but if she doesn't leave, she can only work in the Daguang Match Factory.
After several months of running-in, the production of the factory has stabilized, and the workers have adapted to the intensity of the factory.
It used to be the highest day, but now it is at most 450 Wen. Of course, this salary is not low, but it is very labor-intensive.
Despite this, the people who begged to work in the factory still squeezed their heads.
Things are always changing.
Now everything is turning in favor of the Ren family.
Ren Xiaoxiao just got the last piece of land today, she was very happy, she drank a few more drinks in the evening, maybe she got cold, she was a little upset, and she got up to go to the bathroom on the third watch.
The lights in the bathroom have long since run out of power.
The battery and solar energy can't stand her use so often.
Fortunately, she still has a lighter.
Qin Mu brought a lot of this thing, and he was not allowed to sell it outside the staff, which saved trouble, so Ren Xiaoxiao used it to play.
It's not just about playing, it's really easy to use, and it's more convenient than matches.
She went to the bathroom, lit the lighter, and it was dark all around.
The absence of lights made Ren Xiaoxiao feel a little scary.
After quickly finishing personal hygiene, I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a faint shout of killing coming from the east side of the village.
She was terrified.
What's going on in this situation? She had experienced such a night, and on the first night of her wedding she caught up with the tenants to rebel.
Ren Xiaoxiao's heart fluttered, and she hurried to the courtyard, and her voice became clearer.
"Kill, rob."
I'm afraid of something, and it's really a robber. Her legs and stomach were trembling.
Ren Xiaoxiao clenched her little fist to give herself courage, rushed into the boudoir, and slapped Xiao Tao desperately.
But Xiao Tao drank too much wine with Ren Xiaoxiao, and she slept motionless like a dead pig.
Ren Xiaoxiao couldn't wait, she rushed out of the boudoir, rushed out of the courtyard, and rushed out of the Wu family compound while shouting that there were bandits.
She must never be kept inside again. Last time, Qin Mu rescued her, but this time Brother Qin was not at home.
Ren Xiaoxiao ran wildly all the way, regardless of the chaos in the Wu family's compound.
There were bandits in the east of the village, so they could only run to the west of the village.
Fortunately, there is moonlight, and it is not too dark.
She ran out of the village with a shallow foot, and behind her there was a shout of killing.
She didn't dare to turn back, and ran all the way to the dock.
When I got here, I didn't dare to stop, and I continued to run, and in front of me was the Daguang Match Factory. At this time, there was another person there, Wu Xiaomei.
Wu Xiaomei has been living in the factory a lot lately. When the door is bolted at night, she is alone in the world.
Ren Xiaoxiao subconsciously ran here, remembering that there was a little sister Wu in the factory, she hurriedly walked through the factory, came to the gate of the factory, and slapped hard.
Wu Xiaomei had just fallen asleep, and when she heard the knock on the door, she immediately became nervous.
She was born beautiful, and she has always been careful, but she has recently become Qin Mu's maid, and her status in Wujiazhuang is very different, so no one dares to harass her, is it tonight?
But soon she heard Ren Xiaoxiao's voice, and hurriedly dressed and opened the door.
"Run, run, there are bandits in the village."
Wu Xiaomei was taken aback, and hurriedly looked towards the village, where there were already several fires, and there were still murderous cries and howls.
She immediately wanted to run with Ren Xiaoxiao, but when she looked at the factory, she was a little hesitant.
This is Brother Qin's hard work. Lost this like that?
Ren Xiaoxiao took care of this, took Wu Xiaomei's hand and came out of the factory, and continued to run west.
When is it time to take care of the factory. If you lose it, you lose it.
What if you lose your watch, Brother Qin hasn't given himself a new one.
It's important to save your life!
She doesn't care about anything else, even if Wujiazhuang falls into hell on earth.
