Chapter 45: Snow Killing
The snow had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. It was still the first month, and there was not a single pedestrian in sight on the road, and occasionally a hare sprang out of the grass by the side of the road and hurried to another bush, leaving a circular footprint.
Song Zheng thought about the "Dark Eagle" as he walked. Judging from the conversation between the two big men, it is very likely that they belong to the Dark Eagle organization, and a casino in Michigan is an important foothold for the other party. It seems that after settling down in Michigan, you should go and investigate. If the other party was really the Dark Eagle Organization in Huang Yuandu's hands, Song Zheng wouldn't mind pulling it up and shooting the first arrow of revenge.
As he pondered, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him. Song Zheng turned around and saw two horses galloping from behind, with two big men sitting on them, wearing straw hats and cloaks. The straw hat is pressed so low that the face of the rider is not visible. Seeing the two horses rushing straight over, Song Zheng hurriedly pulled a handful of tea and hid on the side of the road. The two horses jumped over, and Song Zheng looked up, but was taken aback, because these two people were not only wearing straw hats and cloaks, but also covering their cheeks with a scarf, even if they looked up from under the horses, Song Zheng could not recognize their faces. But Song Zheng immediately decided that these were the two men who lived in the Jinshan Inn in Huangya Town, because the younger of them, the "Thirteenth Brother", had a small black mole under the side of his chin. Because of his curiosity about these two people, Song Zheng had looked at these two people from all angles, so he recognized them at once. Right now, although these two people have changed their clothes and put on makeup, they can't hide Song Zheng's eyes.
Two horses galloped past the side of the car in front of them, and startled the four horses pulling the cart, and Qiao Bo and Song Xiaosi stopped the horses one after another. Song Xiaosi also scolded, "I'm so anxious to find death, can't wait?" The two men ignored it and continued to run forward. Soon, I turned a corner from the front and disappeared. Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly, it shouldn't be for himself.
As soon as Song Zheng and his party turned the corner, they saw two black shadows in front of them, and after half a cup of tea, the black shadows came to the front. Those two big men are gone and back! The two big men rode around the two carriages, and then reined in their horses and crossed between Song Zheng and the carriages. Song Zheng grabbed Ming'er, stopped, and gently tapped the back of Ming'er's hand twice, suggesting that she should not act rashly.
At this time, a big man jumped off the horse, pulled out the matching knife on his waist, and blocked Song Zheng's way,—— it was the "thirteenth brother", and the other big man who was still sitting on the horse also drew a short knife and shouted to the front, "Listen to the carriage in front, take out the silver immediately, otherwise, this little prince's life will not be guaranteed." Although he deliberately changed his voice, Song Zheng immediately knew that it was the "Ninth Brother" who spoke.
Song Zheng understood that the other party had lost the silver, and now he was trying to loot by all means in order to make up enough money. I just went and returned, probably to check the road to see if there were any other pedestrians ahead. After finding out that there was no one before and after, I came back to start.
The two carriages in front of them suddenly stopped, and the people in the carriages got out of the carriage. When Zhu Shi saw this scene, he couldn't help but be shocked. Zhu immediately cried and was about to pounce, but Brother Jiu said loudly: "Don't come here!" Take one step further, don't blame my brother for being ruthless! As he spoke, he waved his right hand back, and the "Thirteenth Brother" stepped forward and slashed the knife in front of Song Zheng. The enemy is strong and I am weak, Song Zheng has no bottom for his new martial arts, and the other party is masked, obviously afraid of exposing himself, he should be here for money. This thought flashed through Song Zheng's mind, so he decided to wait and see. So there was a look of horror on his face, but his hand tightly grabbed Ming'er, who was about to burst out.
When Zhu heard the shout, he was so frightened that he immediately stopped and turned to look at the pale Song Jue. Song Jue opened his mouth, but he didn't even say anything. At this time, the ninth brother said: "Our brother just got some money to spend, I don't want to kill people, if we know each other, hand over all the silver." ”
Song Jue seemed to be relieved, although he was trembling, he still said loudly: "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, you dare to pull the road and rob!" I advise you to put down the butcher's knife as soon as possible, and follow me to the official, and I will intercede with the government on your behalf and spare your lives. If you are lost, you will be very good! ”
Hearing these words, Song Zheng couldn't wait to go up and strangle him to death, his eyebrows were burned, and Song Jinshi was still here "dropping his book bag", he really stayed home. Sure enough, Song Jue's words made the two big men laugh. The thirteenth brother simply lifted off his straw hat, revealing his half-covered head.
The ninth brother said: "Big official, don't talk nonsense here, believe it or not, we cut off this little boy's arm first?" Then it will be up to you to see if you will take the money. After the ninth brother finished speaking, the thirteenth brother really shook the arm on Song Zheng's side with a knife.
Song Jue was frightened by the momentum of the two big men, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't! This is the silver. As he spoke, he waved his hand to Zhu, and Zhu and Xiaoping hurriedly got into the car to get the silver. The tip of Brother Jiu's knife pointed at another carriage. Handlebar Qiao Bo hurriedly said, "Two strong men, our silver taels were stolen in Huangya Town, and we only have five taels of silver in our hands. The two strong men took it, don't harm Song Xiaogongzi's life. After speaking, he pushed Bei Leye, and Bei Leye hurriedly took out the silver from his arms, and kicked Shi Cunbao, who was also stunned, and Shi Cunbao also hurriedly took out the silver.
At this time, the exclamations of Xiaoping and Zhu came from the carriage that Song Jue was riding, and Song Zheng secretly said that it was not good. He put the sixty taels of silver in Ming'er's package, and because he had to walk on foot, Ming'er put the package in the car. Zhu and Xiaoping opened the package in a panic and must have found silver. I don't know if these two people know how to cover it up, if they take it out, it will be over.
Zhu Shi and Xiaoping's exclamations obviously alarmed everyone. Everyone's eyes were focused on the car, Song Jue was about to get in the car to check, but saw Zhu and Xiaoping get out of the car, holding a few ingots of silver in their hands, Song Zheng saw that there were no ten taels of silver ingots, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Brother Jiu said, "Give all the money to that girl and let her send it over, and no one else is allowed to approach." Bei Leye and Zhu hurriedly stuffed the silver into Xiao Ping's hand, Xiao Ping trembled and walked over to Song Zheng with the silver in her hand, and when Song Zheng saw the silver in her hand, her color suddenly changed. for the total of these pieces of silver was less than twenty taels. The two big men witnessed Song Jue rummaging through his room at the Jinshan Inn, and knew that the Zhu family had more than 20 taels of silver in his hand, plus the five taels he gave to Shi and Bei, which was 30 taels.
Song Zheng couldn't help but secretly curse a fool, I don't know if it was Zhu or Xiaoping, he deliberately concealed ten taels of silver, wanting to leave a little bit to entangle, which was self-defeating.
I saw that the ninth brother bent down on the horse, took the silver and carried it in his arms, slapped his backhand, and said loudly: "You are not honest, it seems that my brother really wants to remove one of the little boy's arms." Brother Jiu stretched out his hand and pointed his finger downward.
After the thirteenth brother received the instruction, the knife in his hand immediately swung up and slashed at Song Zheng's left arm. Song Zheng had already prepared, let go of Ming'er's hand, stepped back, pretended to stumble, and dodged. The thirteenth brother said "huh", but he didn't care, thinking that Song Xiaogongzi was frightened and happened to dodge a knife.
The thirteenth brother was about to swing the knife again, when Zhu Shi shouted over there, "Don't do it, take it immediately." The thirteenth brother couldn't help but stop, but his eyes were still fixed on Song Zheng. Song Zheng pushed Ming'er to the side and said to the thirteenth brother: "Big brother, look at how my maid looks like?" ”
The thirteenth brother subconsciously glanced at Ming'er and couldn't help but be stunned. Although she was wearing a winter robe, she couldn't hide Ming'er's proud figure, coupled with her white face and bright eyes, she immediately attracted the lustful thirteenth brother.
Song Zheng glanced forward and saw that Zhu was getting out of the carriage, holding a few large ingots of silver in his hand. Song Zheng didn't hesitate any longer, shouted "do it", then jumped forward, punched the bridge of the thirteenth brother's nose, didn't even look at it, and then went straight to the ninth brother who was still sitting on the horse.
The incident happened suddenly, the thirteenth brother was completely defenseless, Song Zheng's punch had broken the bridge of his nose, he screamed miserably, covered his face with both hands and bent down, Ming'er was not soft, pulled out the dagger from the calf, jumped forward, and then the dagger was lifted upward, from between the arms of the thirteenth brother covering his face, inserted into his throat, and the tip of the dagger was exposed from the back of his neck. The thirteenth brother's cry stopped abruptly, he raised his head, opened his eyes with great difficulty, and waved his hands to catch Ming'er, ignoring the blood foam in his mouth. Ming'er hurriedly let go of her hand and stepped back. The thirteenth brother took two steps forward and fell weakly in front of Ming'er. Ming'er hurriedly took two steps back, looking at the tragic situation of the thirteenth brother under her feet, and couldn't help retching.
When Song Zheng shouted "do it", the ninth brother turned around, and saw the scene of the thirteenth brother bending down to cover his face, and saw Ming'er pull out the dagger, and was immediately shocked. However, he couldn't care about it anymore. Because Song Zheng had already rushed in front of him, he had an extra quaint-looking short sword in his hand. The knife in Brother Jiu's hand swung back, catching up with Song Zheng's short sword, and at the same time his legs clamped the horse's belly, obviously, he wanted to use horsepower to open up the distance first, and then calmly turn around and attack.
Although Brother Jiu's idea was good, it was a pity that he ran into Song Zheng who was holding a fish intestine sword. Because both sides are very hard, the swords intersect, and with a "click", the knife breaks in response. Brother Jiu was taken aback, but he reacted quickly, and the broken knife in his hand was inserted into the horse's buttocks, obviously trying to make the horse desperately accelerate. Where did Song Zheng allow him to escape, and when the horse just jumped forward with its straight hind legs, the fish intestine sword cut the big tendon of the left horse's leg.
The horse had run two paces before falling to his knees, and because of the slippery road, the horse had slid forward five or six feet. The ninth brother who was riding on the horse was thrown in front of the horse, rolled twice on the ground, and was hit by the sliding horse, rolled again, and went straight to the place where Song Jue and the others were standing.
