Chapter 82: The Bandits

The sky became gloomy, with a heavy lead gray, looking into the distance, the wharf was faintly visible, Ximen Qing tightened his clothes, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind was blowing on the river. But it's too early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ju An stood behind Ximenqing, rubbed his hands and said, "Master, this weather is cold, you should add some clothes, if you get a cold, it's not a trick." ā€

The word wind chill, in the Song Dynasty, can definitely make people smell the color change, because there is no special medicine, there is no relevant means of prevention and control, every winter, I don't know how many people have to die from wind cold. "You go and inform Brother Jiao Ting and tell them to pack up, and we're going to get off the boat. When you get to the dock, you first go to find a doctor to help the big brother take a look. ā€

"Brother Jisheng's buffalo-like hero, what can he have, he will raise it for a day or two."

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Ximenqing instructed, and also turned over and walked to the cabin.

In a short time, we arrived at the pier.

Ximenqing and others helped the sallow face to get off the ferry, the day before yesterday with Ximenqing's little girl Cheng Wan'er, who was competing with Ximenqing for fishing, also got off the boat here because her father was here to make a general judgment, but the two probably didn't have much to do with each other, Ximenqing only glanced at it more, and arched his hand with the guard who inquired about the news that day, and then turned around and poured into the flow of people.

This is a big wharf, one hundred and twenty steps away from the river bank, there are a few shops, the flow of people is not much, and most of them are the slender men who specialize in pulling boats, Ju An dragged a few locals and asked where the doctor was, everyone was divided into two, Ju An and Jiao Ting went to find the doctor, and Ximen Qing helped Ji Sheng to find a good looking inn to rest.

"A few errand officers are tipping or staying in the hotel."

"I'll arrange a few rooms for me first, and I'll call you after I've rested."

Seeing that they were all dressed as officials, and most of the people who followed them were tigers and bears, they didn't dare to ask more, so they only arranged for the upper room to ask Ximenqing and others to rest.

After resting in the inn for a while, when Ju An and Jiao Ting found a doctor, they took a few pills with Ji Sheng, saying that there was nothing to do, just raise them for a while. After all, he was a strong man, and he rested on the bed for an hour, and then he regained his spirit, and said in his mouth: "The straight lady is still comfortable on the shore, and it is not uncomfortable to sit on the ferry." The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, get some good wine and good meat, and in the past two days, I have only eaten some porridge in my stomach, and the birds will fade out of my mouth. ā€

The shopkeeper hurriedly came upstairs, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly picked a clean seat in the lobby and wiped it clean, and asked Ximenqing and others to sit down, "I don't know what the guest officers want to eat." The shop's signature is steamed lychee lamb chops and Yellow River carp, as well as the finest carved Liang Chun, no matter how mellow it is, a cup can be intoxicating, which is not eaten in the city of Bianzhou, Tokyo. ā€

Everyone looked at Ximenqing and waited for him to command, "What do you see me doing?" Since you are away from home, when can you lose your belly? Don't ask, man, just serve your signature dish, there are many of us, sit down at two separate tables, and eat and drink double portions. ā€

"Well, be objective, please. Wait a minute, the villain will bring you a few tea and fruits first. After that, he turned his body and shouted: "Steamed lychee lamb chops and Yellow River carp double, and then cut two catties of fat mutton, Shixin fruits and vegetables are spread, and two pots of carved beams and springs." ā€

Everyone sat down, just as they were talking, Ximenqing's eyes narrowed, and there were four vulgar men on the table next to him, wearing patched robes, tied with straw rope as a belt around his waist, wearing boxy melon hats on his heads, and carrying packages on his backs. When a few of them saw Ximenqing and the others dressed up, their faces changed slightly, one of them whispered something, and the other three dispersed.

Jiao Ting is an alert person, and secretly gave Ximen Qing a look, the packages on the backs of these men look heavy, I am afraid that there are blades hidden in them.

Ximen Qing nodded secretly, and was silent at the moment, just stared at them quietly, carefully looking at their style, and thought a little that Li Jun and the others were thieves from the mountain, and they wanted to step on the 'plate' here?

After being alert, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ximen Qing asked Ji Sheng, Jiao Ting and others to also show their blades, and they would pay attention to themselves and others, although they were not afraid, it was not good for some flies to follow around.

Xu is Ximenqing and the others' deterrence worked, and after the man stared at Ximenqing, he left in a hurry.

At this time, Cheng Wan'er's carriage passed in front of the building.

"Brother, I'm afraid they're in trouble." Jiao Ting suddenly pointed to Cheng Wan'er's carriage and said

Ximenqing looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, a few men just now quietly followed behind the carriage, Ximenqing watched the curtain of the carriage be lifted, revealing a face like a flower and jade, the girl's chin was slightly pointed, although it was green, but there was only a pure taste. Isn't this the little girl who competed with herself that day? Don't want this group of people to target them?

……………………

The cold wind was bitter, the mud road was blown white, and the dead branches of the trees on both sides of the official road were depressed, and from time to time there were broken branches to blow and break.

Three carriages and more than a dozen family members hurried by on the road, Cheng Wan'er sat in the car, a little depressed, the carriage she sat in was modified, the canopy was equipped with a soft couch, and there was a heater.

As soon as she lifted the curtain of the car, a cold wind broke in, which made Cheng Wan'er shiver, and the maid next to her hurriedly covered the curtain of the car. "Miss, it's cold outside, although it's not the middle of winter, but the cold is there, you beware of the wind chill."

Cheng Wan'er said sullenly: "We've been gone for so long, why haven't we been here." ā€

The maidservant is also strange, but now she can only comfort the young lady and say: "The road has already walked most of the way, as long as you pass the post in front, you will arrive, doesn't the young lady miss her father?" Hehe, it's also difficult, the old man loves you the most. ā€

Cheng Wan'er smiled when she heard this, it was because her father loved herself the most in the past, and this time he came to Gaotang Prefecture, and he personally called someone to pick him up, and he didn't know what was so good about this Gaotang Prefecture, although it was a cold winter, but if he could step on the snow to find plums, it would be excellent.

After thinking about it for a while, I was a little tired, and I snuggled on the soft couch, and suddenly remembered the strange person I met on the boat the day before yesterday, I didn't even have bait for fishing, and I dared to compare it to the sages, what to do Jiang Taigong, and I was not afraid of people's jokes.

Obviously dressed as an official, but he had a hot fight with a group of vulgar boatmen, and the gentleman was far away from cooking, so he did it himself, although the fish was still good, but ...... But after all, it's not the way of a gentleman. On that day, when Ximen Qing roasted up, he asked Ju An to send a few to Cheng Wan'er and others, asking them to try their own craftsmanship.

I was thinking about getting fascinated, and suddenly I heard a loud 'boom'!

The horse guard said sharply, "Who are you?" How dare you stand in our way. ā€
