Chapter 33: Seven Soldiers
They went over to the bridge, got off it, and turned along the dirt path over a field of bushes and weeds, and in front of them was a large deserted field covered with thick gravel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang He's eyes lit up, and he saw a few people standing next to a tall salt purlin pile at the edge of the field, looking at their mannerisms and movements, it was obvious that they had all been in the army before.
Yang He counted, there were indeed seven people, and they were talking about something next to the salt purlin pile at this time.
Yang He looked closely, and the seven people seemed to be divided into two groups, one of which seemed to be three brothers, the leader was wearing a scarf, wearing a long blue and red body armor, a gunpowder lead bag, carrying a waist knife, and a head knife pinned to his waist.
In his hand he held a bird's gun, and under the handguard of the mouth was a sword, three-edged, quite sharp, as if it was locked with a bolt.
Seeing that this person was about twenty-four or five years old, with a steady demeanor, and listening to the voice, Yang He guessed that this was the person who was previously called "Brother Gong".
Beside him stood two men, both of them wearing folded scarves, one about twenty-one or two years old, and the other twenty-two or three years old, with a red hat hanging from the back of their necks, and a sword at their waist, and also a firearm in their hands, and the same firearm was inlaid with a sword.
Yang He's eyes were slightly cold, and the firearms in the hands of the two of them were like arquebuses and three-eyed guns, "This is ...... Winged Tiger? ”
Seeing that they were wearing short armor and also had gunpowder lead bags on their bodies, they were somewhat similar to the appearance of "Brother Gong", and they might be the brothers of this bird's gun.
Opposite them was a group of four people, two archers dressed as archers, one was about twenty-three or four years old, listening to the voice, it seemed to be the "Hu Dalang", and the other would be younger, both of them had waist knives and double inserts.
The other man seemed to be a sword and shield soldier, with a leather shield in his hand and a javelin bag behind him, and six or seven sharp javelins in it.
The last man had a palladium in his hand and a quiver behind him, which contained some arrows, like rockets.
Seeing that several of them were talking, at this time it was the palladium hand that said: "Brother Sun, I will buy you another fifty rockets, do you still have the goods?" ”
That "Brother Sun" is the firearms soldier who is about twenty-one or two years old, he is handsome, with a little shyness in his expression, he said embarrassedly: "It is not easy to make rockets, and saltpeter is even more difficult to find, Brother Zeng, the price you offer is low." ”
The palladium hand smiled and said, "Brother has been short of money recently, so what is the original price?" ”
The "Brother Sun" was just embarrassed, the twenty-two or three-year-old firearms soldier next to him looked rough and arrogant, and seemed to be a hot-tempered person, he shouted: "I once met, you are a flamboyant mouthful, I know that you found a cellar in the abandoned village, and the silver alone costs dozens of taels, but you are here to entertain my brother?" ”
The palladium hand was not angry, but just smiled and said: "They are all brothers who have worked together in the battalion, so it is cheaper." ”
The "Brother Gong" suddenly said: "The price will be increased by 30%, if you are willing, you will come to the temple in five days to get it, and if you don't want it, you can just do it." ”
He puffed his palladium hand and said, "Deal." ”
As they were talking, there was a noise in the weeds beside them, and a dark shadow came out of the bushes and weeds, and fled quickly towards the edge of the field.
Several people shouted in surprise at the same time: "There are wolves." ”
They were about to make a move, when suddenly a javelin was thrown like lightning, with a sharp sound of wind.
But it was the sword and shield soldier, he wore a red hat and a cloak, silent, with a cold expression, but at this time he was like a rabbit.
"Whoosh!"
The javelin was extremely fast, and the wolf was accurately hit by the javelin, even though it ran fast.
With a whistling javelin, the javelin pierced through the wolf's skull, and with a terrible wolf howl, the wolf rolled to the ground and rolled several times on the barren field.
Yang He's eyes narrowed, this sword and shield soldier is very skilled.
……
Seeing that the wolf did not move, only blood flowed from the wound, and his body occasionally convulsed.
The sword and shield soldier strode over to pick up his harvest.
"Xianggong, that's our wolf."
Han Guan'er said suddenly.
"Who?"
The seven soldiers over there turned around suddenly, and with a "bang", the three "Gong Ge'er" violently raised the bird guns and winged tiger guns in their hands, and the two archers quickly took out the double inserts from their bodies.
The sword and shield soldier paused, and the leather shield was raised in front of him, and a javelin appeared in his right hand.
The palladium hand quietly took an arrow out of the quiver behind his back.
In an instant, all seven of them were on alert.
Han Daxia glanced at Han Guan'er reproachfully, Yang He shook his head at him, he rode out on his horse, "trampling", the sound of horses' hooves.
Han Daxia and Han Guan'er hurriedly followed beside him, Han Guan'er pulled out his waist knife with a wary expression, and Han Daxia even took out his bow and put an arrow on it.
The seven people who were on guard were all stunned when they saw them riding out, and then when they saw Yang He immediately, their eyes lit up, and their expressions were obviously relaxed.
Yang He stopped his horse not far from them, and said lightly: "I am Yang He, who are you waiting for?" ”
Yang He obviously saw the change in their expressions, and the seven soldiers were all in awe, and the faces of the three "Brother Gong" were even more awe-inspiring, and the firearms they were holding lowered unconsciously.
The momentum of the four soldiers next to him was also obviously a little shorter, and the color of vigilance was greatly weakened.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Yang He's heart was relieved, the identity of this scholar is still useful, and Han Daxia's father and son had a proud look on their faces, their leader is a scholar, and he is a talent at a young age, and he is also riding a horse.
Then the three of them looked at each other, and then looked at Yang He for a while, and saw "Brother Gong" handing the bird gun in his hand to the rough-looking firearms soldier next to him, he solemnly clenched his fists and saluted Yang He: "It turned out to be Yang Xianggong, and the villain was disrespectful." ”
He pointed to the two firearms soldiers next to him and said, "This is my brother Zhang Chujing and Zhang Chuxun." ”
Yang He groaned: "Zhang Chugong? ”
I saw a strange look on Zhang Zhujing and Zhang Zhuxun's faces, obviously thinking of something else.
A few soldiers next to him couldn't help laughing, only Zhang Chugong looked slightly embarrassed.
Yang He's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Respectful and humble, flattering, beyond the convention, beyond the scope, different, Ling Zun was quite meaningful when he took the name." ”
Zhang Chugong's face showed an excited look, and he said repeatedly: "Xianggong is right, that's the truth. ”
He saw Yang Hece on the horse, the war horse was as red as fire, he wore a dark red cloak, wore a royal blue soft-footed head, and immediately had a strong bow and saber, looking forward to the radiant looks, talking calmly, elegant and heroic, all kinds of demeanor and temperament are heartbreaking.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is a scholar, wise and majestic, but I regret that none of my brothers have ever read.
A few soldiers next to him have put away their weapons, and some are also impressed, worthy of being scholars, they will say.
Every time Zhang Gong reported his name, ordinary people only thought of convenient internal emergencies, thatched toilets and thatched houses and other indecent things, but he could say a profound truth.
They also saluted Yang He, the palladium hand claimed to have met him, the sword and shield hand claimed to be Chen Qiuao, and the young man of the two archers seemed to have a timid personality, afraid of seeing the living, and always hid behind the elders, but also hugged his fists and saluted, calling himself Hu Yiyi.
Only the archer who seemed to be "Hu Dalang" muttered sourly: "What's so great about Xiucai, Lao Tzu has also read books." ”
