Chapter 22: The Ranger

"Ranger?"

Mingyue also looked ahead, but saw that at the center of the riot were more than a dozen people who were divided into two groups of confrontations. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info most of them are brown cloth, all of them are young men, and there are also unkempt weak-crowned young men, all of whom have swords at their waists without exception, their eyes are wide at the moment, they look at each other viciously, their mouths are scolding, and their hands are holding the hilt of the sword, which may be unsheathed at any time.

Seeing Chang'anjun's puzzled face, Li Tan explained: "Handan women like to be charming and wealthy, and they refuse to live in peace, and Handan men are not engaged in farming. or have no fixed place to live, and travel around. Because they like to be a traitor, they sing generously and sadly all day long, and they get together to play. Therefore, it is also called a ranger. ”

He said with some amusement: "There are hundreds of rangers on the streets of Handan, these people are often upright and tough, angry, and do not give in to each other, accidentally bumping into each other on the street, or even a look, can cause a quarrel, and even draw a sword against each other, and blood splashes on the long street......"

"I see." The bright moon is clear.

From the late Spring and Autumn Period, with the destruction of the Jingtian system and the disintegration of the patriarchal clans, the social situation of "the people do not interact with each other until the old and the dead" in the early Spring and Autumn period was completely changed, and the scholar class became the mainstream of society.

Scholars are also divided into civil and military, Confucianism, law, name, vertical and horizontal and other hundreds of schools of thought are famous as scribes. In contrast, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the martial atmosphere was relatively prosperous, and a group of samurai came into being, who were a special group in the Warring States Period, rangers.

"Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, and it is really ......"

Mingyue didn't know how old Han Fei was when he said this, but this statement was really to the point, after two hundred years of development, Ranger has become an important force that those in power have to look at squarely, and they are very active in all countries.

Not only Zhaodi, but also the six countries of Shandong, Hanoi and Puyang are "good and chivalrous, and the wind of Wei is also"; Qi people are "timid in fighting and brave to hold thorns"; Zhongshan and the Yan and Dai in the north are also "Ren Xia and merge, borrowing revenge, usurping seclusion, and not avoiding the law and prohibition", and the footprints of the rangers are all over the world, and there are fewer Qin countries that strictly prohibit private fights and travelers.

Since these rangers from Lu Xiang cloth clothes in front of them all eat with the swords in their hands and mix in the rivers and lakes, what they value most is reputation and face, so they fight when they disagree and fight for the courage of the moment.

Li Tan said that if there are people in the Handan market who gather around and stop to watch, and from time to time burst out to applaud, it is most likely that the rangers are invited to duel for various reasons. This kind of private fight happens almost every day in the streets and alleys of Handan, and Li Tan is no longer surprised.

But even the most brutal ranger can't compete with the royal family!

All the way down, his Chang'an Jun's carriage drove to a very high standard, and the vehicles and pedestrians on the opposite side all hurriedly avoided, how could they stop because of these rangers?

Mingyue also wanted to test Shu Qi's guts, so she signaled to him, Shu Qi immediately got out of the car with his sword, walked to the group of people, and shouted loudly: "Bold!" You and other rangers have gathered here to make trouble and obstruct the road, but you know what the law of the land is! ”

As soon as the words ended, the rangers who were originally confronting each other turned their heads one after another, staring at Shu Qi, who was not tall, his face was cloudy, and some people even yelled at Shu Qi: "Huangkou Ruzi, the hair has not grown, and he dares to take care of Naigong's affairs!" ”

In this case, the most dangerous thing is not the two sides of the confrontation, but the people who are persuaded to fight and drive away, and they are easily killed by anger and indiscriminate blades.

"Let's go home and eat your mother's milk!"

The ranger was disrespectful, and he was going to push Shu Qi when he said it.

Shu Qi was very calm, flashed to the side gently, and took advantage of the inertia of the ranger when he pounced, lightly touched his body with his elbow, and tripped him under his feet, causing the ranger to stand unsteadily and fall to the ground.

The ranger hit the blood on his nose and cried out in pain, his companion suddenly became anxious, and with a "dang long" sound, more than ten people pulled out their swords of different lengths and pointed at Shu Qi in unison!

The Handan women who were watching were sweating for this little offspring who didn't know the danger, but Shu Qi was indifferent, although he had a sword at his waist, he didn't pull it out, and he didn't even touch it.

He greeted the fierce rangers, as well as their sharp swords, his body stood as tall as a green bamboo, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! Chang'anjun's car is here, and it will not retreat!? ”

"You!"

A ranger was enraged by this arrogant little offspring, and was about to swing his sword forward, but was stopped by the leading ranger.

"Chang'an-kun? I think I've heard of ...... somewhere."

At this time, they had the time to notice the cart behind them, as well as the black-clothed guards holding swords and crossbows, looking at them gloomily, and finally locked their eyes on the rich and noble boy who was calm and calm on the car.

"Chang'anjun...... Chang'an Jun ......"

The rangers on both sides of the conflict looked at each other, always feeling that the name was familiar, and then patted their heads and exclaimed in unison:

"Could it be that Chang'an Jun, the virtuous son who 'lives and dies for the benefit of the country, how can he avoid it because of misfortune!?"

……

"The villain has seen Chang'anjun! Chang'an Junxian's name, we have been hearing it for a long time, and we are reckless and rushing, it's really damned! Damn it! ”

The style of painting changed abruptly, and the rangers who were still vicious just now, after hearing the name of Chang'anjun, they put away their swords one after another, lined up in several rows, and waved towards Mingyue's carriage, and one by one they became polite, and said two damn sentences in a row.

"Where did you learn about me?"

Mingyue didn't make it difficult for them, but she was secretly surprised in her heart, before the crossing, Chang'anjun was not famous in Handan, and it had only been a few days since he was impressed by the dragon, why did this group of rangers seem to know?

"The deeds of Chang'an Jun who took the initiative to go to trouble for the country have spread in the streets and alleys of Handan!" So said the leader of the rangers, a tall bearded young man.

The ranger behind this person, and even the people of Handan Zhao State who were onlookers all nodded yes, saying that in the past few days, they could often hear about Chang Anjun resolutely going to Qi State as a hostage in order to save Zhao Guo's danger.

Although their group of people is unruly, but they also pay attention to chivalry and courage, help the needy, in the face of such a virtuous son, it is from the bottom of their hearts, they can't be arrogant, even the person who has just injured his nose also covers his mouth and nose, and can't help nodding his head.

"It's strange, this is a matter in the circle of ministers of the Zhao Kingdom's court, if it weren't for people's intentions to spread it, how could it be known to everyone in Handan."

Mingyue thought so in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said to them: "Since the second and third sons respect me, then I will ask one more question, why are you fighting here today?" ”

"So that Chang'anjun knows that things are like this......"

After asking, Mingyue learned that this duel that almost saw blood was because of the crowding, and one person accidentally stepped on the other's foot, which led to a quarrel and a fight between two groups of people......

What a place to be!

"Is such a small thing worth fighting for?"

Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't help but think of the "three swords" that Shu Qi said, he was dumbfounded, he cut off his neck and neck, and cut his liver and lungs. The sword of this Shuren is tantamount to cockfighting, once the life is extinct, it is useless for state affairs......

This cockfighting-like sword of the common man is talking about the heroes in the cloth in front of him, right?

He couldn't help but make a straight face: "Are you all from Zhao?" ”

The rangers said yes.

Mingyue immediately taught them a lesson: "Since they are all Zhao people, and they don't understand the language, what is not negotiable?" I once heard one thing, when Lin Xiangbang came back from the meeting of Michi, when he was troubled by General Lian, he always saw General Lian from a distance and avoided it, and the doorman asked him why. Lin Xiangbang said that he was not afraid of General Lian, but because the reason why Qin did not dare to insult Zhao was because Lian and Lin were here, and if they fought together, they would inevitably not be able to coexist, so they put the country's urgency first, and personal enmity last! It is precisely because of Xiangbang's mind to endure for the country, and General Lian's guilt that he can change his mistakes, so there is peace with Xiangbang and Zhao Guo today. ”

"I am now voluntarily going to Qi as a hostage, and it is also for the urgent needs of the country, and my personal safety is put last. But I don't want to, the second and third sons are all Zhao people, but when the Qin soldiers pressed the border, because of the small limb collision, they actually drew their swords against their compatriots, with this ability, why not make it to the Qin people!? ”

All the rangers were stunned, they didn't want the fifteen-year-old son in front of them to say a righteous and awe-inspiring word, and the surrounding Handan people also echoed it, under the pressure of public opinion, the rangers were ashamed and ashamed for a while, and they couldn't find a crack to get into.

After the heavy words were finished, Mingyue slowed down his tone again, he asked the two people who had the initial conflict to stand up, let them salute each other, apologize, this matter is over, and the two sides should not draw their swords against each other again.

Everything was happy, and before the officials and soldiers in Handan City could come over to stop the private fight, they were settled by Chang'an Jun.

Mingyue thought that she could continue to board the car and go on the road now, but who expected that the group of rangers would not leave, and the people around them became more and more around, wanting to take a look at Chang Anjun.

I don't know who got up the head, but someone among the rangers suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "What Chang'an Jun said makes sense, chivalrous, we should first take the urgency of the country and then personal enmity, we have been taught." Now Chang'an Jun wants to go to Qi for the sake of Zhao and Qi as a hostage, how can we, as Zhao people, sit idly by? In my opinion, it's better to go to Linzi with you to protect the safety of Chang'anjun, how about it? ”
