Chapter 30: Highway Robbery
In other words, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and during this period of time, Su Yu has consciously played the word flattery to the fullest, and no one can beat it.
Since the crisp bone, Su Yu couldn't, so he could only lie down for a day and a night before he got out of bed and started to walk, so dozens of people under the mountain of the entire General's Mansion, especially the old couple of the Xiao family, when they looked at Su Yu, they all cast an ambiguous and extremely understanding look, and Su Yu's entire back was a little unconscious, swishing in the cool breeze.
But Xiao Yi is okay, although he often makes some verbal teasing with Su Yu, but in the end, he didn't take advantage of the danger and jumped a step into the thunder pool.
That Liang Hong's father-in-law and Liang's father-in-law are estimated to have been looking for her all over the capital, but he didn't say that he would move the territory of the General's Mansion, besides, Su Yu felt that Liang Hong, even if she was a scholar who knew her here, she might not be able to predict that she would hide in the General's Mansion.
The reason why Su Yu has not left after waiting for so many days is because he has lost his martial arts at this time, and he is powerless, and it is a little difficult to escape Liang Hong's search, and secondly, the little overlord Xiao Yi said that he is going to Bingzhou to do some things in the past few days, and he can pick her up along the way.
Su Yu also felt that it was good to enjoy the shade with her back against the big tree, and Xiao Yi had also played hooligans to take advantage of her in the end, and it was okay for her to take advantage of him a little.
Besides, according to the spy of the rich man, the scholar should be in Bingzhou, so it was a coincidence that the two of them happened to be on the way.
When they got into the carriage and were about to leave, the old man and the old lady of the Xiao family still took Su Yu's hand, and told them a lot of things about the safety of the tire, and the horseman who drove the car was cautious and walked around the place where there was a pit.
Whenever this situation is encountered, Su Yu doesn't want to deceive the two old men, and when he wants to explain, Xiao Yi will always come over at the right time, smile and obey and respond: "I know, I know." ”
Su Yu thought that on the way to Bingzhou, he still needed Xiao Yi's help, so he also squinted his eyes and smiled like Xiao Yi, and nodded pretendingly.
When I went out of the city gate, there were several officers and soldiers standing at the city gate, not far from the officers and soldiers, and a few people in the costumes of the eunuch's palace, standing there from time to time checking the vehicles coming and going.
After the carriage approached, Su Yu subconsciously held his breath, listening to the eunuch who was checking slowly approaching, and was about to open the curtain, but heard Zicheng outside the carriage scolding: "Bold minion!" Don't look at whose carriage this is, is it something you can see? ”
The person who was going to interrogate didn't know why at first, but when a person next to him came over and muttered a few words in the man's ear, he immediately put away the arrogant expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Oh, the villain has just joined the company for only half a month, and he has little knowledge, so he has disturbed the nobles of the General's Mansion, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Seeing that this person changed his attitude, Zicheng didn't dwell on it, went down the steps, and reprimanded: "In the future, remember more and wipe your eyes away!" “
"Yes, yes!" The man nodded and stepped aside.
The road was awayed, and the driver waved his whip, and the horse unsheathed his hooves and led the carriage out of the city gate.
Out of the city gate, Su Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he saw Xiao Yi in the car who was about to smile or not, he silently gave him a roll of his eyes.
Xiao Yi accepted it calmly and said to Su Yu: "Don't worry, it's a big deal to say that he shocked me and chopped him up, and we can go out of the city, then Liang Hong will definitely not dare to pursue it." ”
If someone else said this, Su Yu would definitely laugh off his big teeth, but when this came out of the mouth of the little overlord Xiao Yi, Su Yu felt that it was extremely possible, because it is said that before, there was a powerful son of the capital, when he suppressed the people, the blood from the beating stained the boots of the little overlord, and as soon as the long sword of the little overlord came out, he was sent to the palace of Hades in an instant.
Liang Hong and Wei Tong, who were in power in Beijing, would not offend the old general Xiao family because of the death of such an insignificant person under their hands, if the Xiao family has been staying out of the matter like this in the current situation, then no one will rashly do anything to them. Xiao Yi is "notorious", and it is not uncommon for him to kill such a small minion like a shrimp in his temper now.
So Su Yu didn't think it was ridiculous when he heard his idea, he just nodded, and praised against his will: "This plan is very high!"
Xiao Yi was so smart, he also heard the true meaning of Su Yu's heart, smiled, and responded cheekily: "Madame has won the award." ”
Every now and then, Xiao Yi's wife would always knock back the thousands of sarcastic and contemptuous words in Su Yu's stomach, and then silently close his mouth.
The carriage traveled all day, and when the sky was getting dark, Zicheng rode over and asked, "Master, there is a small town five miles ahead, should we continue to walk forward, or ......?"
Xiao Yi didn't think about it, and said directly: "Stay!" After a day of traveling, Yu'er was also tired. ”
Although Su Yu also wanted to continue to hurry and find the scholar quickly, but now it is different from the past, after being hit by the crisp bone, although he recovered for two days, he walked freely, but his physical strength was not as good as before, and after sitting in the carriage for a day, he was tired and sore, and even a little drowsy. Now that she suddenly heard Xiao Yi's careful and considerate words, Su Yu felt that there was a warm current in her heart, and now that she was adrift, there was still someone who cared about her so carefully.
"Yes, master."
Zicheng got the order, and was just about to urge the horse to move forward, but suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in the forest in front of him, and then several big men with large bodies blocked the road, waving knives and shouting: "Hey! The carriage in front of you listens, I drove this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave ...... Uh, leave ......"
The sturdy reckless man didn't seem to have read any books, and halfway through a few sentences of jargon, he scratched his head and couldn't remember anything, so he stomped his feet in place in a hurry.
Su Yu in the carriage heard that he had met a colleague, so he hurriedly answered: "Stay and buy road money!" ”
The big man slapped his head violently, waved a big knife and said, "Yes, it is to leave to buy road money!" Wait, hand me over the money. ”
Su Yu was a little sleepy just now, but now he was suddenly aroused by this big man, he poked his head out of the car window, looked at the faint figure of the big man and said, "I don't know how much silver this hero wants to rob?" ”
The big man seemed to be the backbone, and when the other few looked at him, the big man thought about it carefully and said, "Hand it all over!" Yes, hand it all over! ”
A few people on the side thought this was a very good idea, and shouted in agreement: "Hand it over, hand it over!" ”
Su Yu looked, according to experience, this group of people who blocked the road and robbed were also novices, although they shouted fiercely one by one, they lacked the murderous aura of the outlaw bandits.
Zicheng in front of the carriage calmly held the lantern, Su Yu looked through the light, and saw that the people were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and there was a lot of dirt on their shoes and trousers.
Su Yu shook his head and said, "Disperse!" Let's all go home! Even if you don't live a rich life, it's at least better than dying on the edge of a knife. ”
The leader didn't listen, seeing that they hadn't handed over the money, he was about to step forward with the big knife, but just took a step, but saw a flash of cold light, and the scimitar in Zicheng's hand had come out of his hand, and it was quickly inserted into the instep of the man's foot. The big man didn't have any martial arts foundation, he only relied on brute force to play tricks, and now he only blinked his eyes, and his feet had been pierced by someone, and the pain only trembled to his heart and liver, so he howled, fell to the ground and rolled with his feet.
This sudden change, frightened together with several people with trembling legs and stomachs, standing in place not knowing how to move, after a while, or a lean to see some doorways, threw the knife in his hand aside, and knelt down with an ordinary voice and said: "Passing nobles, we are all men from some poor families, now the levy is too onerous, just relying on growing grain can not fill the stomach of the old and young in the family, forced to helpless, only embarked on this road!" ”
As he spoke, the man who spoke knelt a few steps forward, supported the man who was rolling on the ground and said: "This big cow has just added a kid to his family, which is a happy thing, but his daughter-in-law is weak and sick after giving birth, and she can't even make up the money for medical treatment and medicine, and she lost her life in vain. ”
Su Yu took pity and was about to speak, but when he heard Zicheng outside the carriage, he seemed to be used to seeing such a scene, and said: "Now the people are living in hardship, but if everyone blocks the road and robs like you, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire!" ”
The people who blocked the way knew that they were at a loss, and they were not habitual offenders, and the first time they did this kind of thing, when they heard someone say this, they fell to their knees with a puff and pleaded: "O nobleman! We were also forced to make this decision! ”
Su Yu quietly looked at this group of men who were kneeling and crying, and suddenly remembered that when Qingyun Village was robbed, the people were not living, and it was also such a scene, her homeland was so beautiful, and suddenly there was a catastrophe of soldiers and bandits, resulting in the dispersion of wealth and people, and the misery was unspeakable, and several of their brothers were also scattered in all directions, not knowing whether it was good or bad.
Su Yu withdrew his head from the car window, looked at Xiao Yi, and thought about asking for a favor for these people, let them go, but before he could speak, he saw Xiao Yi leaning against the car wall, quietly closed his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, Zicheng has followed me for many years and knows how to deal with it." ”
If others said this, Su Yu could still put his mind at ease, but as soon as this little overlord said it, Su Yu was shocked, leaned over and asked, "Are you going to cut it too?" ”
