Chapter 50: The Thief Who Doesn't Measure Himself
The border town is not as important as the small city in the territory, but it is the key to military defense, and the people who are stationed here all the year round are the elite who have been in battle for a long time, how can it be broken so easily, there must be something wrong with it.
Bai Cang and the others didn't have time to think about it, because the crowd on the street was chaotic, and the shops on both sides were also panicked, and the merchants could walk away, but the shops based on this over the years could not be so free and easy, and after the people left, who knew that the store would not be yours when they came back.
The shopkeeper came to the front of the hall, and saw that Bai Cang and the others had not yet escaped, so he hesitated in his heart and said, "A few guests, now that the enemy soldiers have entered the city, we have to take shelter, if you have nowhere to hide, you can go with me first."
Nodding, Gao Shun and Gao Shun immediately agreed, "Okay, thank you store, let's go quickly" Everyone didn't care much, and followed the shopkeeper towards the backyard.
I saw that after the shopkeeper and the two little servants turned, a total of six people came to a well together with the small two account rooms, and several shopkeepers turned over and went down quickly, and the shopkeeper turned around and said to Bai Cang and the others, "Come down with me, there is a hiding place we built below."
"That's a good dare, big brother, you wait for me to see the situation" Shan Wing volunteered to be the first to turn down, grabbed the well rope with one hand, and went down in an instant, almost thirty or forty meters, only to see an arm stretched out from the side wall and swayed towards him, and he rushed in one by one.
The mountain wing glanced around, a half-human high tunnel winded in, and it was dark inside and couldn't see clearly, a small guy leaned over and said, "This master hurry up and go in, there are people in there to answer it."
Shan Yi turned around and shouted safely and turned into the tunnel, and walked about twenty meters inside, and suddenly a corner appeared, and after the corner, he found that the shopkeeper was standing in front of a wooden door to answer him, and with the introduction of the child, he saw that although it was not as large as the store above, it was not a problem to accommodate thirty or fifty people.
After a short time, Bai Cang and the others also entered one after another, and everyone sat around a group of mountain wings and praised, "I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected hiding place here, it seems that you are not completely unprepared."
The shopkeeper smiled, "The small perennial shop is here, how can the place of war not be guarded against, and it is just a temporary plan to hide for the time being, if it is not for the horse bandit clan does not occupy this for a long time, the loot will go by itself, and we will not risk our lives to stay and guard the store, it is really not comparable to our Han Mainland's rich place of peace of mind."
"Okay, don't be emotional, there are frequent people here, and there are many businessmen, your income must be much stronger than the average store in the mainland, otherwise I don't believe you will stay and take risks" Ying Shao stroked his beard and said slowly.
"What this lord said is, you seem to have a lot of knowledge, I won't hide it from you, although it is dangerous here, but there is a lot of oil and water, and the guests are in a hurry and there is little bargaining, wouldn't it be good for me to wait for a comfortable place" The shopkeeper did not hide it and told him the truth.
Everyone chatted while eating the water and food that had been prepared in the cave, and after a long time, Gao Shun asked in a deep voice, "How long do you usually have to hide here before you dare to go out?" ”。
"Based on my experience, it doesn't take a few hours for the bandits to be suppressed by the defenders, but those are small groups of foreigners who have mixed into the city, but this time the enemy soldiers break the city and I don't know how long it will take to retreat, wait a little longer to be safer, the water and dry food I use to hide here can last for more than a month, this general does not need to worry."
"I'm not worried about eating and drinking, but at this time, the bandits enter the city and I don't know what the reason is, in case there is a catastrophe, I am afraid that it will affect the land of the state, after all, I am the heavy grace of the assassin Shi, and I can't ignore it, so it's okay, I'll go out to see you waiting here, in case there is a change, it is not difficult to get out and leave with my ability" Gao Shun was worried in his heart, and he was going to go out to investigate the truth.
Bai Cang said at the moment, "Then I will go with me, it is more convenient for the head of the higher education to act alone and with multiple helpers", "Since this is the case, then I will go too, the three of us will go out together, and we will naturally act together," Shan Yi shouted unwillingly.
Gao Shun didn't want to put the two of them in danger, but he knew Bai Cang's temperament in his heart, even if he forced him to stay, he would follow him out afterwards, let alone Shanyi, so it was better to stay under his eyelids than to feel at ease.
"Well, don't stay away from me if you follow me, once something happens, running for your life is the first choice" Gao Shun nodded and reminded.
"Don't worry, head Gao, we will be careful, Mr. Ying, you two will stay, if we don't come back, you will wait a few more days before going out, in case you are scattered, you will go to the Yanmen Pass General's Mansion to find me" Bai Cangying Gao Shun instructed Ying Shao's uncle and nephew two sentences.
Ying Shao had no choice but to nod, "Young master, be careful, the little old man has no use except to dig holes in the mountains, so he won't drag the young master, you must be careful."
Gao Shun and the three of them whispered along the well, only to see that it was already night, although the sky was dark, but the moonlight tonight was excellent, and the blue light in the courtyard was unhindered.
As soon as he came out, he heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, Gao Shun turned out of the well and waved his hand to sneak into the store first, only to see that the store had been smashed and robbed at this time, and the three of them were also helpless in their hearts, it seemed that the store was going to have a lot of blood again.
The three of them sneaked to the front of the store, found a remote corner and hid and looked at the street, but half of the people on the avenue, which was still chaotic during the day, could not be seen at this time, except for the laughter and scolding from afar, as if all the people in the city had disappeared.
"Follow me to see the situation" Gao Shun was a little uneasy in his heart, and he only felt that there was something strange at this time.
Bai Cangshan Yi and the two nodded in understanding, and followed Gao Shun and quietly touched a small courtyard along the dark part of the street, and the laughter and scolding came from there.
Seeing that there were no soldiers around them, the three of them climbed over the fence and approached the sound little by little, and after cautiously walking through for a while, they finally found the person who was laughing.
I saw more than a dozen big men around a fire shouting and roasting meat, on the fire there was a roasted half-cooked fat sheep, the mutton fat dripped, splashed the flames from time to time, a child next to the fire little by little hands to cut the meat, each cut out a plate for the big men to enjoy.
These strong men looked different from the generals of the big men, all of them were majestic, with dense beards, and they were all dressed in clothes made of the fur of cattle raised, and some of them were dancing with horns and scimitars.
At this time, a leading man shouted and said, "Brothers, the world of this big man is really as the king said, there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, but there are so many treasures in this just one outside the border gate, let's kill the palace in the future and ask us to make the throne after the king, it is not an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver, and the good days of our brothers are about to come hahahaha."
Gao Shun, who was on the side, gritted his teeth in his heart when he listened, such a thief was so bold, he really made himself secretly angry, and pressed the idea of killing them who rushed out and continued to eavesdrop.
At this time, the big man was laughing when he suddenly heard a sneer coming from behind him, it turned out to be a few people in armor in the back room, the eyes of the leader were shining, and he sneered behind his hands and said, "You are really ashamed to wait, and you still want to enter the palace to seize the throne, I think you can't rush out of this Yanmen County, really when this big man has no strong soldiers in the world, don't say anything else, as long as I defend the city today, you and other bandits don't want to enter the city."
As soon as the strong men of Fanbang heard this person's words, they immediately jumped up, and one of them kicked the little boy who cut the meat to the side of the **, and the strong man led by him shouted angrily, "You Zang Ba is just a dog of the king of my family, and you dare to be arrogant with me, I think you don't want to live anymore, the brothers made them for me, and I will bear the blame of the king."
The strong men listened to the roar and rushed up, Zang Ba's body did not move, snorted coldly, only to see the Gang Qi protruding, the cloak behind him shook violently, and so more than a dozen strong men rushed to the front of the body and suddenly made a difficulty, the body turned and the palms were instantly slapped, the true power of each palm was extremely fierce, and the strong men of Fanbang had no room to fight back, and the people in the palm flew out with blood spurting blood, and in an instant, only the person who was the leader was left in the courtyard.
"Hmph, don't measure yourself, since you are looking for your own death, don't blame me for not being merciful, slaughtering them without leaving any of them" Zang Ba shook his cloak and turned back to the house, the two lieutenants pounced out the moment Zang Ba turned around, and the two against one besieged the strong man of Fanbang, and finally showed a flaw after more than 20 moves, and was slashed by a lieutenant in the neck.
"Ah~~~" screamed, the strong man retreated sharply, the deputy general allowed him to escape, and the four iron palms pasted up like a shadow, "Bang Bang Bang... The palm of the hand slapped on him, and the strong man's body was against the courtyard wall, and blood gradually flowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth, "Zang~~~Ba~~ If you dare to kill me, the king will definitely break your body ~~~~ 10,000 pieces."
"Poof" A knife light flashed and the head fell to the ground, and a young man drew a knife and turned around and said to the two lieutenants, "It's so troublesome to kill someone, just solve it with a knife, remember it in the future."
"It's the major general", the two lieutenants answered and drew their knives, stabbing all the dozen or so strong men who were wailing on the ground, and looked at the young man who was cutting meat on the side and asked, "Is this kid kept?" ”。
The young man waved his hand, "A little boy, for the sake of the Han people, spare his life" After speaking, he turned around and went back to the house.
Bai Cang saw that the deputy general also followed, except for the little boy who was still trembling in the courtyard, there was only one wreckage left, more than a dozen strong men gradually stiffened in the cold weather, the blood on the ground quickly coagulated, and a massacre ended like this.
Shaking his head secretly in his heart, he secretly said, "When the people who rob and kill are plundered and killed, it is really a quick retribution."
