Chapter 157: Before entering the Zheng Family Collection

Wangshan ran a dead horse, and seeing it on the plain terrain does not mean that it will arrive immediately, but the ruins of Zhengjiaji appeared in the field of vision, and everyone's mind has settled down, and they are finally about to reach their destination.

"Don't let go, everyone, Zheng Jiaji is in a mess now, and all kinds of people are fighting around, we have to be one hundred and twenty percent careful." Zhu Da shouted in the cart.

Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Li He The expressions of the three of them were very complicated, the earthen enclosure outside Zhengjiaji had not been destroyed, and it seemed that it had not been swept by the Mongolian cavalry and officers from such a distance, as if it was no different from before, and they all knew that it was over there.

No matter what Zheng Jiaji is destroyed, there are traffic arteries, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, everyone is nervous, in a hurry, on the one hand, they are in a hurry, on the other hand, they are wary of the people around them, on the outside road, experienced people know to have a partner, to walk with people who seem reliable, so that there will be a lot less trouble, the officers and soldiers and the Xiangyong and the green forest, are not willing to provoke a large number of people, Zhu Da and their four big cars are young and strong, naturally become the most willing to rely on everyone, It's just that after approaching, they are often frightened by the heads hanging on both sides of the cart, and hurriedly take a few steps back, preferring to follow behind or not to partner up, how can there be a merchant who rushes with a head.

Zhu Da ignored the opinions of passers-by, and he had been teaching his hired men how to use the spear thrower, a very primitive tool that was really simple to use, keeping the wooden spear clamped to the spear thrower, raising his arm, and swinging it straight up and down, trying not to swing his shoulders, and that was enough.

If you simply hold the spear throwing and throwing, there is no professional training, no foundation in martial arts, can not effectively control the body, often use a lot of strength to play three points, the projected wooden spear or speed is not enough, or the direction is deviated, but with the spear thrower, ten points can at least play seven points, maybe even nine points, the direction can be very different.

At this time, the hired workers had a certain sense of prohibition, two shifts, one to help the carts, and one to guard the surroundings, strictly speaking, the road was now very peaceful, and there was no danger to be seen, but they were still meticulous.

This road is already the scope of Zheng Jiaji in the past, because of the influence of Zhu Daxing's business, Zheng Jiaji also took the initiative to renovate the surrounding roads, after the Mongolian horse team entered the Kou, Zheng Jiaji was destroyed, and the surrounding roads will not be maintained, it is conceivable that they will be abandoned, but now it is very easy to use, the road surface is smooth and wide, which makes the three brothers who are familiar with Zheng Jiaji feel very bad, but because of the smooth and wide road, the hired workers basically do not need to push carts, but can spare time to learn spear throwers.

Juda's training was simple and effective, allowing the hires to throw spears with their arms and shoulders and then with spear throwers, allowing them to spot the difference for themselves.

"This wooden gun is at my disposal, I didn't even know I could throw it so far!" "As long as you don't deviate when you wave your arms, you will be straight when you throw it out!" "It's so strong, even if it's blocked by a wooden board, the opposite side can't be stopped."

The words of the hired workers were a little surprising, for them, the spear thrower was like a toy, and it gave them a little sense of accomplishment, but for the hired workers, from childhood to adulthood, humbleness, hunger, and other hardships were most of their memories, and this sense of accomplishment would be particularly impressive to them.

If the strength is about the same, you can project the wooden spear thirty paces away, but if you can ensure that there is damage, you can only do it at a distance of fifteen to twenty paces, of course, this is also related to the material of the spear itself, if it is not the pointed tip of the wooden pole but the iron blade, then it is different.

Zhu Da is so unhurriedly urging the employees to practice, this time can't expect to practice anything, but at least let them use it.

After walking forward for about half an hour, Zhu Da felt that the pain in his shoulder was relieved a lot, it would not be a big injury that hurt his muscles and bones, for people who practice martial arts, physical problems are fatal, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was about to call the next team of hired workers to come forward to practice, but found that on the right side of the second cart, a passer-by approached, this person looked nothing unusual, no different from other people on the road, but Zhu Da still saw that something was wrong.

It's one thing to dress up, it's another thing to look at the way the convoy is looking, ordinary passers-by don't observe it like that, look at the number of people in this convoy, the position of the guards, and even look at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's mounts and weapons so carefully, Zhou Qingyun also realized that something was wrong, he rode to the vicinity of Zhu Da and made a look.

At this time, the passer-by saw the heads hanging on both sides of the cart, just now he was watching from a distance, and these heads were not specially handled, if you don't look carefully, you think that the jar of water and wine will only be found when you get closer.

"Something is wrong with this person" Zhou Qingyun lowered his voice and said, then he watched the man staring at the head, an incredible look appeared on his face, and then fear, he staggered back two steps first, and then looked at Zhu Da who was sitting in the cart and Zhou Qingyun who was riding a horse next to him.

This person looked over, but he happened to meet Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's eyes, and saw that the two young people were looking at him with a smile, and there was no guard in his eyes, but it was like a hunter looking at his prey, this person's pale face did not recover, and he wanted to leave as if nothing happened, but he couldn't do it, so he followed the convoy a few steps stiffly, and then desperately squeezed out a smile on his face, stood on the side of the road and made a big gesture to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and then turned his head and left, and started running without taking a few steps.

"It's not a smooth road." Zhou Qingyun muttered, he watched this person run away, a few people scattered before and after, and no one could understand what was going on.

"Regardless of whether the Zheng family is good or bad, when they are there, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods everywhere dare not move, and the Tartars and the official army not only destroy the village and kill people, but also break the rules here, everyone is unscrupulous, otherwise how can this thief dare to fight in broad daylight on the official road." Zhu Da replied in a muffled voice.

"How long is it going to be messed up?"

"It won't be too long, there will be newcomers coming out of the Zheng family without it, maybe some handsome side has already been eyeing this side, and when the newcomers come, this rule will be established, and it will be too peaceful at that time." Zhu Da lay on the cart of goods, the sun dried the tarpaulin of the goods, and the heat spread through the clothes to the strain, making people feel very comfortable.

"I'll take a break first, you also move slowly, and when we get to Zheng Jiaji, we still have to be busy." Zhu Da said a word of advice to Zhou Qingyun and began to take care of his own recovery actions.

When there were still 100 steps away from Zhengjiaji, someone took the initiative to greet and talk, but it was to solicit business, saying that it was impossible to enter the mess in the enclosure, and if they wanted to stop and rest, they had a yard to provide, and there was a supply of fresh water to rest there, and they only needed to give twice the market price, and the rent was calculated separately, which was twice as expensive as the current price.

Strictly speaking, this is not a sky-high asking price, and the caravan has no choice when it arrives at Zhengjiaji, unless it does not consider supplementing supplies and then moving forward, and regardless of water and rent, even if it is doubled or tripled, it is not expensive to go, and the caravan is outside, leaving a lot of room for such expenses.

"Just say yes." Zhu Da had no objection to this and stopped Li He, who wanted to bargain.

The yard they went to was on the west side of the fence, Zhu Da was very impressed by this area, because Yuan Biao led them to practice martial arts, archery and riding here, along the way, I saw that most of the people in these large courtyards, and they were not refugees, they were all caravans from all over the place, and Zhu Da judged that the Mongolian horse team came and went fast, and the merchants who came from the south and north may not be able to get the exact news, and they were afraid that it was too late to change the road halfway, so they could only reluctantly cross the border.

Of course, these caravans also knew that the Mongolian horse team had left, otherwise they would not have dared to come here, and these caravans did not let down their vigilance, and they could know by looking at the heavily armed guards with a look of vigilance.

Zhu Da and they also noticed one thing, the people who led them to the various courtyards were not local to Zheng Jiaji, Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Li He were very familiar with Zheng Jiaji's businessmen and the three sects and nine streams, but these people were obviously not, Zhu Da noticed that these people were not very skilled in doing things, and they looked like bandits and temperament.

The answer was soon said by the caravan who lived in the same yard: "This group of people said that it was close to the village, and when they were in trouble, a group of people cut wood on the mountain, and when they came down the mountain, their homes were destroyed, and they had nowhere to go, so they could only come here, and they came out of one place with their hearts, and beat everyone else away, but this place was already in tatters, and they couldn't get any benefits, and it was difficult for them to fall into the grass. ”

This answer is not unexpected, it has been less than ten days since the last time I passed here, but some people instinctively realized the opportunity, chaos is only temporary after all, and finally order prevails, and if you can find a chance in this order, you can survive.

"That's how the Zheng family developed back then, if there were no officials and soldiers behind them, this group of people would be able to make a career, it's a pity." Zhu Da said to Zhou Qingyun.

For the official army, there are all kinds of risks in defeating Zheng Jiaji, but it is still difficult to win it from inside and outside, that is, they look at the interests of this place, or feel that this side must be destroyed, no matter what aspect they consider, they can't accept people other than others to master or cultivate, these characters from the village rely on instinct to act, how can they be able to defeat the wolf-like officials and soldiers, or the most elite ones, so, it's a pity, they have the ability, but there is no time and space.

"Make money and go!" Judah didn't bother too much about it.
