Chapter 16 Three Miles in One Day
The emperor Lao'er died, and it had no effect on them in Tong'an, just like the old man next door died, what should they do. As usual, they asked the tree for advice on horsemanship, and galloped on the post road. When everyone was having fun, Gao Cheng exclaimed: "Hey, look, it's a little red flag again!" ”
Everyone stopped, the sound of horses' hooves as fast as raindrops, and the little red dots moving quickly, exactly the same as yesterday's scene.
"Let's compare with his eight-hundred-mile rush to see how fast our mules can run." The tree proposed loudly, and everyone was idle and had nothing to do, and they all drank it.
As soon as the little red flag galloped past, everyone cheered and chased after them. The messenger glanced back, and a group of bandits, wielding knives and guns in broad daylight, chased after him. They are trying to rob the holy decree, and it seems that the fierce and arrogant folk wind of Hesu is really not blowing. The messenger waved his whip and rode the dust, and everyone sighed with admiration, the horse is a horse after all, and the mule is a mule after all.
"This was an eight-hundred-mile rush yesterday, and the emperor Lao'er died. Today, there is another 800-mile expeditious, could it be that the new emperor is also dead? "The mosquitoes started joking again.
"Today's is not an eight-hundred-mile expedited, it's a five-hundred-mile expedited." Cui Yiwu corrected his younger brother's mistakes.
"How do you know it's five hundred miles, not eight hundred miles?" Straw Bale felt that yesterday's flags were exactly the same as today's, and he couldn't figure out the difference.
"The flag says Five Hundred Miles." Yiwu said expressionlessly.
"It seems that Braille is still useful." Straw bag muttered to himself, when his father asked him to study, he disdained it and retorted to his father, don't you also know a word in Douda, what's the use of being literate in our Weibo Town?
"Another little red flag!" Orange screamed in surprise, he was tossed by the little red flag yesterday, and since then he has been staring at the end of the post road, always on guard.
"This time, we can't let him go over so casually, we will surround him in sections this time, just like Tian Hunting." The tree shouted loudly, and the smile on his face was gloomy and high-pitched, like a wolf locking a sheep.
The crowd scattered in all directions, spreading their nets, waiting for the prey to burrow into their pockets. As soon as the little red flag entered the encirclement, Fat Lai followed closely from behind, cutting off his retreat; Cui Yiwen and Cui Yiwu outflanked from the right side; Zhen Shu, Zhu Xiyi and Liu Xi intercepted in front; The rest of the men lay in ambush in the woods on the left side of the road, and when the messenger was forced into the woods, his horse could not be of any use. Seeing that someone intercepted, the messenger shouted loudly: "The official business of the court, the one who blocks it is dead!" After saying that, he pulled out his waist knife and rushed straight forward, without slowing down at all, without fear. The three of them looked at each other, why was there such a desperate messenger, and they didn't know whether they should draw their swords or not. After a moment's hesitation, the messenger leaped out of the encirclement, rode his horse galloping, and sailed away again.
"I said Xiaoshu, what are you three doing, ah, just let him pass easily?" Cui Yiwen counted them down, and it took so much effort to let him run away effortlessly.
"I didn't expect him to rush straight over and pull out his knife."
"What are you cowardly, don't you have a knife too? Can you still be afraid of him? Are you a gentleman? "The mosquito is teasing him here, didn't you propose to ask for Tian Hunting Messenger, in the end, you yourself will be the first to coax, such a good opportunity, but you have to be humiliated.
"I ......" Shu Shushu was speechless for a while, but he was unwilling to be humiliated, and muttered: "You have a seed, next time you will be up." ”
"I'll go up, I'll go up, let you see what a man is." The mosquito readily agreed, and did not forget to taunt him again. Besides, these 800-mile urgent messengers don't come every day, and today I have run two times a day, so it is impossible to have a third.
Everyone guarded the post road, waiting for the third messenger with their eyes in pain, the sun was three poles, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and the little red flag was still not seen.
"I said, little tree, you would have to treat us to a good meal at noon, and if you hadn't let the messenger go, we wouldn't have waited here in the sun." Mosquitoes joke about the tree, a rare opportunity for revenge, you have to make good use of it, you can't waste it.
"I'll please, I'll please, go, go to the Fenglai Inn in front, there is enough wine and meat." Zhen Shushu can't stand the cynicism of Mosquito Ziwen, and if he doesn't have some blood, he won't let himself go today.
The mosquito will not be polite to him, and the big fish and meat will order a full table. Zhen Shushu actually asked for two jars of Longquan wine from Weizhou, as if it wasn't his money. Although this wine is not expensive, it is still a little turbid, but it is extremely spicy, and outsiders laugh and say, "Don't laugh at the farmer's spicy wine, you can drink three bowls of it is ruthless", which shows the great momentum.
As soon as the roast chicken was served, the skinny monkey had to reach out and tear the fat chicken thigh. He stopped the tree and said that when he first came to your land, he was fortunate to be able to meet everyone, so he had to do a bowl with everyone first. A bowl of spicy wine in my stomach, I didn't feel anything at first, and before I sat down, my throat was like a fire, and then my stomach was hot.
As soon as the skinny monkey's ass touched the seat, he reached out and tore the chicken leg again. Zhu Xiyi grabbed the thin monkey, and the thin monkey had to retract his hand. Zhu Xiyi clenched his fists and said with a smile on his face: "Coming here, getting along with everyone for so many days, there is nothing to repay, do it first for respect." After saying that, they drank it all, and everyone had to drink another bowl.
After two bowls of wine, the thin monkey only felt that his stomach was on fire, and he hurriedly reached out to scoop up the chicken legs, and he had to quickly pad them. This time, it was Liu Yan's turn to hold the thin monkey and said with a smile: "Brother Monkey, don't worry, my two brothers have drunk with everyone, but you can't help but drink my bowl, come, I will also give you a bowl!" After that, he drank it all again.
Everyone looked at each other, and they only now understood that these three Shatuo people were not at ease at all, knowing that they were not strong enough to drink, and they were still pouring them here vigorously. Tong An stopped everyone and made a look, and everyone understood and sat down one after another.
Tong An smiled and said: "This wine is almost full, and I haven't eaten a table of food yet, so I will eat some first, otherwise I won't be able to eat it for a while." After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks to add vegetables, and the thin monkey couldn't wait to tear the chicken legs.
"Little Red Flag!" Orange shouted, then hesitated: "Do you see if that is a little red flag?" I look a little blind. Two bowls of orange wine in his stomach, the world was spinning at this moment, and he was not sure whether this was a real little red flag in front of him, or his own hallucination.
"It's the little red flag!" The thin monkey had sharp eyes, and when he glanced at it, he screamed excitedly, and bent down to pick up the weapons and horsewhips at his feet, and no longer bothered with the chicken legs on the table.
