Chapter 17: Encountering Bandits
Early in the morning, outside Suiyang City, Daozuo, Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan said goodbye.
Huang Chengyan followed the great power in the division and played a circle of soy sauce in Xuzhou. Now, Xuzhou is over, and he is preparing to take a walk around the four states of Qingyan and Xuyu, meet friends, and find some opportunities by the way.
Yesterday, he was about to leave the city and go to Taishan County, but he unexpectedly met his prospective son-in-law, so he was delayed in Suiyang City all night.
Early this morning, bidding farewell to Zhuge Liang, Huang Chengyan sat on the back of the little donkey and continued his journey to Mount Tai.
However, before leaving, Huang Chengyan was still on the back of the donkey and said loudly: "Virtuous son-in-law, your filial piety is almost over, right?" Since the filial piety period is over, at the end of the year, hurry up and marry Yueying's girl, but it's okay but a matter of my old man's heart! ”
What else can Zhuge Liang say, he can only bow to his head!
There are still about two months to go, and the three brothers of the Zhuge family will be filial piety to their uncle for one year before it expires.
Zhuge Liang remembered that in his previous life, he married Sister Huang at about the end of next year.
It's not that he Zhuge Liang deliberately delays, but that the young and the young are orderly, and there is a difference between inside and outside.
If the eldest brother Zhuge Jin does not have a marriage contract, it is not a good etiquette for him Zhuge Liang to marry first; Now that the elder brother Zhuge Jin also has a marriage contract, he has concluded that there is no reason for the younger brother to marry first, which is the order of the young and the old.
Brother Zhuge Jin has indeed had a marriage contract with the Bu family for a long time.
Bu's family, originally a big clan in Huaiyin, Xuzhou, moved his family to Qu'a, Wu County to settle in order to escape the war in Xuzhou. Zhuge Jin traveled to study when he was a teenager, and became friends with the Bu family's Bu Qi, and after coming and going, he had a marriage contract with the daughter of the Bu family.
In my memory, the eldest brother went to Wu County to marry the Bu family after the spring of next year, and took root in Jiangdong.
Therefore, if Zhuge Liang wants to marry Sister Huang as soon as possible, he must first marry his eldest brother Zhuge Jin and Bu's family.
In his previous life, because of Zhuge Liang's "serious illness", the eldest brother's marriage was delayed until the beginning of spring next year.
In this life, Zhuge Liang is ready to urge his eldest brother to let him get married early.
As for the eldest brother, after getting married, will he still stay in Jiangdong to serve like he did in his previous life?
This is a personal fate, and Zhuge Liang is not good at interfering too much!
……
After bidding farewell to his father-in-law, Zhuge Liang got on an ox cart, followed behind a small caravan, and slowly walked along the gallop road to Xuchang.
To go from Suiyang City to Xuchang, you must pass through Mangdang Mountain, which is said to have been infested by bandits.
On the ox cart, Lu Qiling was sullen, and her face was not very good-looking.
Yesterday evening, when she saw Zhuge Liang calling the old man "father-in-law", Lu Da Lori was depressed. She didn't know why this depression came from, but Huang Chengyan, who was a fairy wind and a bone at that time, didn't dare to pretend to be colored.
In fact, when Lu Qiling sees the monk now, she will have palpitations.
In the few days she was imprisoned in Xuzhou, she Lu Qiling was not very honest. But Cao Cao has a strategist named Guo Jia under his command, and that bastard often uses spells to ban her dantian, making her Lu Qiling have a lot of strength, but she can't play a few points!
Now, although the ban in the dantian has been lifted, the awe of the monk has penetrated into the heart of Lu Da Lori.
"What's wrong with you, why don't you feel like you're happy since last night?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Qiling's face and asked puzzled.
For the mind of the big Lori, even if he is a human in the third life, Zhuge Liang can't understand it.
Lu Qiling's inquiry about Zhuge Liang was only counted as an answer with a "hum".
The girl's mind is understood only by herself. Zhuge Liang is a handsome and talented young man, which is very in line with the girl's Huaichun. Moreover, Zhuge Liang rescued her from Cao Cao's hands again, which made Lu Qiling have a good impression.
After only a few days of getting along, Lu Qiling's girlish feelings were hazy and heartwarming.
It's a pity that the girl has some longing, but she didn't expect Zhuge Liang to have a marriage contract, so it's no wonder that Lu Qiling's mood can be good!
After receiving a pair of white eyes, Zhuge Liang no longer paid attention to Lu Qiling, and silently pondered how to take advantage of the past two years to lay out in advance, so that when Liu Bei came in the future, he would give him a starting point.
In this life, Zhuge Liang is not ready to let Liu Bei wait for the opportunity in Xinye Town!
……
In the ox cart, the atmosphere fell silent, but Lu Qiling was even more depressed.
That guy didn't even come to coax her!
was sulking, suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the car, and there was a faint sound of weapons fighting, of course, screams were also indispensable.
These voices are naturally not unfamiliar to Lu Da Lori.
In an instant, as if injected with hormones, Lu Qiling jumped off the ox cart at once.
Zhuge Liang, who was in contemplation, didn't need to hear the movement outside at first, but Lu Qiling suddenly jumped out of the ox cart, but it also woke him up from his contemplation. So, Zhuge Liang also jumped off the ox cart and took a look.
Actually, you don't need to look at it, Zhuge Liang also knows what's going on.
The ox cart had followed the small caravan and had been at the foot of Mangdang Mountain for a long time, and naturally encountered the legendary bandits.
There will be dense forests in the high mountains, and bandits in the deep forests.
In this chaotic year, the people who can't survive, as well as those who have been scattered, are naturally the kings of the mountains and gather in the mountains and forests. Among them, there are often some awesome warriors who also like to occupy the mountain as the king.
Although Mangdang Mountain is not very far from Xuchang, it is also active in a group of robbers.
Cao Cao was busy attacking the city at this time, and he couldn't spare his hands to deal with these robbers, so he could only let it go. Anyway, as long as these robbers don't die too much, Cao Cao will also turn a blind eye.
Right now, the caravan collided with the bandits in Mangdang Mountain.
I don't know whose family this caravan is, but there are only a dozen wagons of goods, but there are more than thirty escorts accompanying it.
Among them, there are actually two warriors!
Although the strength of those two warriors is not very good, it is like entering a no-man's land in a group of robber minions, and those screams are made by those robber minions who have been cut down.
"Weak explosion!"
Lu Qiling has followed Zhuge Liang in the past few days, and she has learned a few new words, and then she opened her mouth to come to such a one.
In fact, whether it is those robbers or those two warrior guards, in Lu Da Lori's opinion, they are all very good.
However, although the two warrior guards are dish, they seem to be invincible to the bandit minions.
The robbers were killed crying and crying for their mothers, and they scattered and fled, and at the foot of the mountain in the rear, the bandit leader finally couldn't stand it.
"Oh, thief, Hugh is presumptuous, your grandfather will come to meet you!"
With that, the leader of the robbers, wielding his broadsword, rode straight at the two warrior guards to kill them.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
Although the leader of the robbers was a young man, his martial arts were very outstanding. The two warrior guards looked very awesome in the bandit minions just now, but under the sword of this young man, they were staggered. The two of them couldn't beat the young robber!
Soon, after thirty or fifty battles, the two warrior guards hung up the lottery.
If there is no accident, at most twenty or thirty times, these two warrior guards will definitely be cut down by the young robber.
……
"Something interesting!"
Next to the ox cart, Lu Qiling muttered vigorously.
The big Lori, who is already very violent, must be happy to see the hunt at this time.
What's more, from last night to the current depression, there must be a way to vent, right?
In Lu Qiling's view, a hearty fight is the best way to vent.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's handsome and free appearance, Lu Qiling is really not easy to fight with him, and she is embarrassed to do it.
Now, there happens to be a robber with good strength in front of her, and Lu Qiling is very eager to try.
"Are you sure?" Zhuge Liang asked softly.
Lu Qiling's eagerness to try, Zhuge Liang naturally saw it, and he didn't want to restrain her temperament. Besides, there is only one road at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, if they don't send this group of robbers away quickly, they are afraid that they will be delayed at the foot of the mountain today.
"Of course no problem!"
Lu Qiling responded excitedly, and was ready to rush over.
"Alas, wait!" Zhuge Liang grabbed Lu Qiling and said with a wry smile: "What about weapons and mounts?" ”
The leader of the robbers has a war horse under his crotch, and in his hand is a fine iron broadsword.
And Lu Qiling, who was about to kill, was bare-handed, and she didn't even have a mount.
As a martial artist, Lu Qiling originally had special weapons and mounts, and even a set of exquisite armor.
It's a pity that in the few days when he was captured, these equipment naturally became Cao Cao's trophies.
After Zhuge Liang rescued her, he only lifted the ban on her in the dantian, and as for weapons, armor and mounts, Zhuge Liang couldn't help her. With Zhuge Liang's financial resources, he can't afford to buy that outfit for Lu Qiling for the time being.
Hearing this, Lu Qiling pursed her lips and was a little deflated.
If it were those two warrior guards, Lu Qiling would be able to teach them how to be human beings with her bare hands + foot combat. However, if she wants to fight the bandit leader, she Lu Qiling must have a weapon at hand, and she must have a mount.
It must be known that in terms of the strength of the warrior alone, the strength of the bandit leader is only one line worse than her Lu Qiling!
……
Seeing Lu Qiling's discouragement, Zhuge Liang pulled her, walked forward dozens of steps, and found the caravan principal.
"Your subordinates are afraid that they are going to be defeated?" Zhuge Liang's sentence was asked casually, but it was a fact.
If it weren't for the bandit leader's intention to leave the war horse, he only needed to cut off the mounts of the two of them, and they would have become ghosts under the knife long ago.
The caravan leader was an old man who was nearly fifty years old, and although he was anxious, he was quite calm. Seeing Zhuge Liang's handsome and free appearance, there was a burst of appreciation in his eyes, and he didn't mind what Zhuge Liang said.
"I don't know what advice the little brother has?"
The old man felt that Zhuge Liang suddenly asked at this time, there must be a way to solve these problems of bandits.
It's just that Zhuge Liang's appearance and this outfit are definitely not suitable for going up to fight, and as for the female doll beside him, the caravan owner didn't care.
"Borrow a spear and a mount!"
Zhuge Liang was not verbose, and directly explained his intentions.
If you continue to ramble on it, I'm afraid that the two warrior guards in the caravan will really become ghosts under the sword.
