Chapter 4 The plank road is vast and tragic
Xiao Yigu cleaned up the remaining Liu family's good hands, and found that there were only 17 people left this time, and half of the 335 good hands he brought were gone. He looked at the bodies of the eighteen brothers who had fallen to the ground, some of them even incomplete. The eighteen brothers lived with him as usual, and after this day they closed their eyes forever.
Jiang Yun patted Xiao Yigu on the shoulder, "Everyone, get the wine!" ”
The winter snow melts, the blood does not disperse, the arrows are numerous, the swords fall in all directions, and the cold wind is bleak.
Jiang Yun held the wine bowl high, and the clear wine couldn't help shaking.
"Give the brothers a ride!" Jiang Yun held the wine bowl above his head with both hands, slowly leaned over and bowed, stared for a long time, and gently sprinkled the wine on the ground. The rest of the people also followed Jiang Yun to pay their last respects to the deceased siblings.
"Bring them up!" Jiang Yun waved his hand, and someone immediately brought the remaining bandit captives up.
"Who killed them?"
"Qingquan Village!"
"What should I do?"
"Murder pays for life!"
"Kill!"
The head fell to the ground, and blood splattered in all directions.
Zhang San, who was trembling on the side, fainted directly and couldn't move. Jiang Yun ordered someone to bring him up, and then called Xiao Yigu over.
"You take a few brothers to hide Zhang San first." After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he whispered a few more words, Xiao Yigu nodded, and took a few people to take Zhang San up the mountain to find a place to hide.
"Count the time, it's time to come." Jiang Yun's ground began to hum and vibrate.
After a busy work, the sound of vibration got closer and closer, and soon a cavalry of about thirty people appeared in front of Jiang Yun.
The leading cavalryman was about forty years old, and even though he had been fighting horses for half his life, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the scene in front of him.
More than a dozen people covered in blood and gray faces stared at him coldly, and there were more than a dozen corpses piled up in the corner, and the heads were scattered all over the ground, and the blood stained the plank road. The caravan was broken seven or eight times out of ten, and the overturned wine jar was leaking.
Adjutant General Li also stopped.
It's such a group of people, and they're still alive. Normally, when he arrived, the bandits had already looted, and all that was left were mutilated corpses and broken goods, but today this group of people actually defeated the bandits, and they still had a fierce momentum after this battle one by one.
The young man standing in front of him, although he was wearing a coarse cotton coat and his face was covered with blood, his body shape remained unchanged at all, and he was majestic and fearless.
Vice Admiral Li turned over and dismounted, "We're late.."
Jiang Yun leaned over, "In Xiayun River, thank you for coming to help." ”
Vice General Li was very embarrassed by Jiang Yun's actions, and hurriedly helped Jiang Yun, "I am Li Heng, the deputy general of Zhenyuanguan, if we come earlier, there may be fewer casualties." This is Li's responsibility. ”
"I heard that you once fought with that thief and retreated, if you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Zhao."
This Li Heng is a real person, and he doesn't have any shelves, so he hurriedly ordered the sergeant to help clean the plank road and restore the plank road traffic as soon as possible.
Jiang Yun silently made a gesture behind him that Zhao Heng didn't notice, "Brother Li, let's not hide it, this time we suffered heavy losses, and the thirty-five brothers we brought were broken in half..."
"This Qingquanzhai thief harms my big swallow people! Hateful! ”
"Brother Li, please speak here." Jiang Yun motioned to Li Heng and pulled him to the corner, "We arrested a person from Qingquan Village, and the big brother Li he said might be interested." ”
Xiao Yigu quietly brought Zhang San down, Zhang San was still fainting at this time, so Xiao Yigu took a scoop of water and splashed it directly on his face. The cold water directly stabbed Zhang San awake, and he woke up suddenly.
Li Heng glanced at Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun hurriedly clenched his fists, "It's a matter of urgency, please forgive Brother Li." ”
Li Heng waved his hand, "It's okay, let's listen to what this thief has to say." ”
After listening to what Zhang San said, Li Heng clenched his fists, "If this thief is not eliminated for a day, my people will suffer for a day!" ”
"In addition to this thief, not only can the harm of my Great Swallow people be reduced, but this is only one of them."
Li Heng heard this, "Oh? ”
"That Zhang San is also the dart master of the Yunhai Dart Bureau."
Li Heng's face changed, and Jiang Yun continued, "This time, we hired three dart masters from the Yunhai Dart Bureau, Zhang San, Zhao Si, Ma Wu, all three of them are from Qingquan Village, and Zhao Si is even the second master of Qingquan Village. ”
"More importantly, this person claims to know people in Guanzhong."
Hearing this, Li Heng frowned, this matter exceeded his expectations. He felt faintly strange that the Yunhai Dart Bureau was still receiving darts after the Liu family caravan was robbed yesterday, but he never expected that this Qingquan Village would collude with the guards of the pass, and it was even related to the Yunhai Dart Bureau in Shule City. There's a lot of netting involved.
Li Heng was about to say something, but Jiang Yun looked at him with a torch.
"Why don't you listen to me?"
"Dayan has been harming more than one year in a row, the people are not living, the small Qingquan Village has been entrenched here for a long time, looting endless people's fat and people's ointment, the people are complaining, in addition to it, not only can be expected, but also can comfort me the suffering of the border soldiers. This is one of them. The Yunhai Dart Bureau in the city is also the eyes and ears of Qingquan Village, and Shule City is inseparable. Third, and most importantly, Qingquanzhai colluded with the guards of the gate, and the people who could shelter it for so long were by no means simple people. But if you think about it, won't Qingyunzhai leave something? ”
Jiang Yun's words were so beautiful that Li Heng suddenly remembered that he had been fighting for half his life, and before he knew it, it had been twenty years, and it seemed that it was the end, but now he had a chance to rekindle his hope.
"Why?"
"Without him, Brother Li is not a thing in the pool, if he sinks, I'm afraid that my Dayan will lose a big arm." Jiang Yun smiled, "The only thing I want is the medicinal herbs that were robbed yesterday." ”
"Good! Brother Yun Xian let me admire this time! Li Heng laughed, leaned over and whispered to Yun Jiang, "I'll arrange the specific matters, but the foolish brother has a request." ”
"Say anything."
"This incident is not trivial, and I need someone I can trust."
"Yunjiang, please follow." Jiang Yun leaned over, and Li Heng patted Jiang Yun's shoulder approvingly.
After cleaning up, the plank road was restored as before, Li Heng sent a sergeant to report back to Shule and hurriedly took the sergeant back to the customs.
"Childe, can this person be trusted?" Xiao Yigu asked quietly.
"It can be trusted or not, but this Qingquan Village can only count on him." Jiang Yun looked at the direction in which Li Heng was gradually moving away, "Have you arranged the affairs of your dead brother?" ”
"It's all arranged, but there's one thing I can't figure out."
"Vice General Li took away that Zhang San, why did Gongzi let Zhao Si go before?"
"It's still early, let's go back first, and then talk to you slowly." Jiang Yun smiled, but Xiao Yigu still had a puzzled expression.
