Chapter Twenty-Three: The Thieves Enter the Thieves' Den
Su Yi was afraid that his bandits would accidentally expose their whereabouts, so he refused the banquet of the young owner.
The group simply had lunch in Wangjiazhuang, during which Su Yi also strictly ordered everyone not to drink, but fortunately, the bandits were loyal to him, and no one was dissatisfied because of this, and continued to move forward after being full of wine and food.
At this time, Qian Bao took the initiative to lean over, at this time he admired Su Yi a lot, originally thought that Su Yi was just a little white face who followed Scar and others to mix experience, but this time when he went down the mountain, Qian Bao asked himself if he was not as bold as Su Yi, not only dared to pretend to be an official soldier, but also talked with the young owner of Wangjiazhuang.
If the cottage wants to develop and grow, it not only needs a lot of money and food support, but also needs to constantly recruit troops and buy horses to annex other cottages.
The establishment of a long-term arms deal with Wangjiazhuang has opened up a smuggling channel, which will be of great benefit to the future development of Taohuazhai.
"King Su, the weapons and equipment brought out this time have been disposed of, why don't we go back to the cottage?"
Su Yi glanced at Qian Leopard, who was following closely behind, and smiled slightly: "What?" You're scared. ”
Qian Bao glared at the two copper bells dissatisfiedly and said, "What did King Su say!" There is nothing in the world that I Qian Leopard is afraid of, but the people in Wangjiazhuang are too talkative, and we are pretending to be the officials and soldiers of Liaodong, just afraid that it will attract the attention of others. ”
"So!" Su Yi said lightly: "Because of this, we can't go back to Peach Blossom Village, to be honest, I pretended to be a person from the Han family in Liaodong in Wangjiazhuang, and it was indeed a bit of a risk, easy to attract the attention of others, maybe someone will follow us, you say, at this time, when we go back to Peach Blossom Village, won't we expose our identity?" ”
After speaking, Su Yi glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally, he always felt that there was something strange along the way, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
"What!" Qian Leopard roared, pulled out the ghost head knife at his waist, and turned around sharply to look behind him. His movements immediately alerted the bandits around him, and they grabbed their weapons one after another.
"Don't look at it, if someone really follows us, it won't be so easy for you to find out." Su Yi frowned and continued: "Besides, this time I didn't go down the mountain just to sell armaments, but also to take these opportunities to understand the situation outside and facilitate my actions in the future. ”
"What does the king mean that we should grab a ticket and then go back?" Qian Leopard showed a surprised expression, this is the first time he has followed Su Yi down the mountain since he entered Peach Blossom Village, if he can grab a sum of money and grain to return to the village, then his reputation in Peach Blossom Village can also be improved a lot.
"You, you're thinking too much." Su Yi shouted angrily: "Grab a ticket to go back?" We are now pretending to be the officials and soldiers of Liaodong, and if we rashly rob the merchants along the way, we are afraid that we will be out of control. ”
Su Yi glanced at Qian Leopard and continued: "The robbery of the people by the official army will definitely attract the attention of Shangjun County, and when the time comes, they will send people to contact the garrison in Liaodong. ”
Qian Leopard nodded as if he didn't understand.
The sky is getting darker, and it is already winter at this time, and the weather is cold, especially in the land of Liaodong. The end of the year is approaching, and during this time, rain and snow are the most common.
Before Su Yi and the others could walk far, cold raindrops fell on their faces, like ice thorns. Then, the white snow began to fall.
Although the bandits were strong, they were also shivering with cold at the moment, the cold wind was bitter, and the snow was heavy, and everyone had to speed up their pace and run on the official road. At this time, there were fewer merchants on the official road, and only a few carriages galloped through the snowy road, which seemed a little weird.
Seeing that it was getting dark and the snow was no sign of stopping, Su Yi beckoned everyone to speed up their pace and rush forward, hoping to find a place to perch and not sleep on the streets on a snowy day.
Suddenly, seeing a manor not far ahead, Qian Bao and the others were overjoyed, if it was usual, they would definitely go in and loot it, but now King Su said that their identity is the official army of Liaodong, since they are official soldiers, can't they go over to eat and drink for nothing?
Thinking of this, the bandits ran even more happily, and a snow marathon was being staged...... Qian Leopard spread his feet and ran the fastest.
On a snowy day, all the bandits were very excited, but Su Yi suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, this place is a little remote, although there is an official road nearby, but there is no village next to it.
Being able to build a manor here and not be sacked by thieves means that the owner of the manor is either of an unusual identity or of unusual strength.
However, no matter which one is ordinary, it is not what Su Yi wants.
The gate of the village is closed, and the vermilion lacquer gate looks crystal clear on this snowy day, and the scale of this manor is not small, in terms of grandeur alone, it is far more than Wang Biao's mansion, and even Pei's mansion is just like this.
Su Yi didn't expect to see such a splendid and magnificent building in a remote place like Youzhou, and he was a little surprised for a while.
Qian Leopard didn't care so much, kicked on the door of the village, and yelled: "Is there anyone? Open the door for Lao Tzu, I'm freezing to death, damn, close your mother's door on a snowy day! ”
Bandits: "......"
"My lord, no one responded! How about we slam the door? Qian Leopard turned to look at Su Yi and asked.
"Don't be reckless!"
However, as soon as Su Yi finished drinking Qian Leopard, a clear female voice came from the manor: "Who is outside?" ”
"Lao Tzu is an official from Liaodong, open the door quickly!" When Qian Bao heard that there was a woman standing behind the door, the knock on the door was even more cheerful and rhythmic......
It wasn't long before a glimmer of light came through the crack in the door, and then the latch was heard.
A woman in a strong suit poked her head out, and a trace of obscene light flashed in Qian Leopard's triangular eyes, but unexpectedly, Su Yi stepped forward and kicked him away, clasped his fists with both hands, and said to the woman: "Han Wentao, who is waiting for Han Wentao in the Lower Liaodong Army, came to Youzhou on business, passed by here, and the heavy snow blocked the road, and he couldn't move forward, so he asked to stay overnight." ”
Damn, Su Yi feels like Tang Seng in Journey to the West at the moment, begging his father to worship his grandmother everywhere.
The woman in the power suit looked at Su Yi and the others, and did not have a frightened expression, but chuckled: "Okay, knowing that you are officers and soldiers, come in quickly." ”
When a group of bandits saw the woman open the door, they immediately rushed in.
It's just that at this moment, Su Yi inexplicably feels like he has entered a thief's den......
And the woman who walked in front of her led the way, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
