Chapter 43 North Chase 5
At night, the cold wind rose slightly, Lin Mao and his entourage were afraid that these border soldiers would find out the problem of the goods, so they went down the avenue and walked along the trail to the summer realm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But what people are afraid of, they come, at this time they are resting under a sheltered slope, the wine porcelain on the fire shelf in front of them is not yet warm, a sound of horses' hooves is heard, which makes Lin Mao's heart pinch again.
"Damn, what's going on again!" He Laojiu scolded and jumped up from the felt, and the bearded man beside him immediately whistled, and those swordsmen who were resting and gnawing meat in twos and threes gathered around him.
As the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, He Laojiu and the other swordsmen were ready to attack, the bright long knife reflected the silver-white light of the bonfire, Lin Mao stood in front of the car, his body trembled slightly, as if he was shocked by this sudden pressure.
Lu Heizi stared at a pair of bull's eyes, picked up the wine bag and poured a big mouthful, let Hou pull out his waist knife, stiffened his neck and said: "Brother Lin, I'm afraid it's useless now..."
As he spoke, the sound of the rider had come to the place where Lin Mao's caravan was forty or fifty paces, and then a deep voice came: "Who is ahead?" ā
He Laojiu and these swordsmen looked at Lin Mao, Lin Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and replied loudly: "We are waiting for the Lincheng caravan, going to the north to sell goods, and rest here!" ā
After about a breath, a voice came from the opposite side again: "I don't know whether I know whether I am alive or dead, selling goods at this time, and I really fell into the eyes of money!" ā
When Lin Mao and the others heard this, although they were angry, they didn't react much before the situation was clear, in case these people were also border soldiers like in the daytime, once they choked on fire, the consequences would be difficult to say.
Knowing that Lin Mao's line is a businessman, four or five of those riders are about thirty steps forward again, and the remaining dozen or so riders are on guard in place, through the firelight of the people around them, you can see that the dozen or so riders seem to have a bright light reflected, He Laojiu tightened the reins, so that the horse was as quiet as possible, he knew that those bright lights were reflected by the heads of the crossbow arrows and arrows of the continuous crossbows, and that's it, He Laojiu felt depressed for a while, how could this meet the border army again, if they moved slightly, the dozen or so consecutive crossbows shot out at the same time, At least one of their brothers must have fallen to the ground and died.
"Da-da..."
The heavy cry and the rough snort made Lin Mao's throat tight, and when the four or five horsemen came to him, He Laojiu consciously gave up a position, and Lin Mao breathed a sigh of strength and stepped forward
The border army led by him was dressed in bright light armor, he leaned sideways and grabbed the reins, and said to Lin Mao and the others: "You say that it is a business trip, where is the voucher?" ā
Lin Mao wiped his face, and quickly took out a document stamped with the official seal of Beizhen Fort from his bag, the armor soldier nodded, and a person next to him turned over and dismounted, and Lin Mao, who came, took the document in front of him and handed it to the head armor soldier.
The armor soldier looked at the firelight for a while, and threw the document back casually, thinking that this would be the end, but the words of the armor soldier made Lin Mao's heart that had just fallen a little bit pull up again.
"You cheap greedy seeds, no matter when, you will make fortune as the root of your life, right now there is a war going on in the north, Lao Tzu and these people are chasing those dog offal all day long, and they are in danger of dying at any time, and you bastards are still in business..."
As soon as these words came out, He Laojiu and the others immediately changed their faces, and pulled out half of the knife, the armor man raised his eyebrows, and snorted heavily from his nose, and the dozen or so horsemen behind him immediately rode up with guns, and more than a dozen crossbows were set in front of Lin Mao and the others' faces, Lin Mao immediately panicked, stepped forward and knelt down.
"Master Jun, we just want to find something to eat, the world is becoming more and more difficult now, we were born as cheap businessmen, and if we don't go to business, we will starve to death!" Lin Mao turned his head in a trembling voice and waved his hand vigorously at He Laojiu and the others: "Put down the knife, put it down quickly..."
He Laojiu and these people are swordsmen, and their lives are like licking blood at the tip of a knife, looking for food in the pile of dead people, and fighting against the border army, they have no courage, but if the border army wants to deliberately cut off their way of life, then they don't mind fighting.
The leader of the armor stepped forward with a frown, stretched out his hand to whip up Lin Mao's already crying old face, and he spat heavily: "It's not just cheap bones, it's also fucking soft bones... I really don't know how many of you are raised in the country that these brothers are defending! ā
At this time, the armor soldier came up behind him, and he was not very old when he heard the voice, but he emphasized that he was calm and powerful, and he said: "Captain Zhao, since you are a businessman, you don't need to waste time here, let's chase people as soon as possible, in case those beasts are attacking the Tunjun Fort, the general blames it, we don't have any good fruit to eat!" ā
"It's really cheap, these cheap people who want money and don't want to die!"
After a quick sentence, the captain surnamed Zhao and the soldiers no longer played bad with Lin Mao, immediately turned the horse's head, with his whip and shout, this group of border army sentry riders drove to the southwest, and after they left, Lin Mao got up from the ground tremblingly, just after a while, his legs were numb, Lu Heizi had to step forward and pull him hard, so that he could stand up.
Before Lin Mao could breathe, a violent vibration sounded and He Laojiu immediately climbed into the car and leaned out to look at it, but he was scared into a cold sweat.
About a hundred and ten paces away, there was a cavalry that looked like a long dragon and followed the direction of the departure of the dozen or so border troops just now, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least several hundred people. Thinking about it now, fortunately, those armor soldiers didn't entangle with them too much just now, if that Duwei surnamed Zhao didn't plan to let them go, and they rose up to resist, they would definitely die without a place to be buried.
The night fades, the morning light, the cold fog is filled, and the slaughtered land of the Bei'an Institute is even more gloomy under the cold fog. Lin Xiu has been chasing for several days this time, but he has not yet caught up with Lin Mao's caravan, which makes him more and more uneasy, seeing that he is about to leave Bei'an, and he is getting closer and closer to the summer realm, Lin Xiu can't imagine, what should he do if Lin Mao and his party have already left the country? What if Daddy and they run into a fierce steppe barbarian? What the consequences were, he didn't dare to think about it, the only thing he could do was to gallop on this barren and populated realm, and catch up with Lin Mao before anything that might happen.
Out of the Bei'an, those obvious avenues gradually disappeared, replaced by a seemingly potholed grass road, saw a military fort in the distance, at the moment Lin Xiu ran towards the military fort, came to the fort gate, Lin Xiu dismounted, a figure poked out of the corner towers on both sides of the fort gate, and said to Lin Xiu: "What person?" Where did it come from? Do? ā
Lin Xiu raised her somewhat sour neck and replied loudly: "Big brother, I am from Lincheng, I came to the north to chase people, this time I am hungry and thirsty, and I want to beg for saliva here!" ā
