Chapter 18: Encountering Robbers on the Road

Lu Su's face was embarrassed: "Thanks to General Xu's appreciation, I am sincerely afraid, but my grandmother is still alive, and now she is old, Su Li should do her best to provide for her old age." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xu Jue was a little disappointed when he heard this: "Since this is the case, I will not be reluctant, in the future, Zijing will respect all difficulties, even if he is looking for Xu!" ”

Lu Su arched his hand: "Of course, it's not too early now, it's better for the two of you to dine in our house, and it's not too late to rest for a day and then go on the road." ”

At this time, Li Kui, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly laughed and said: "This is very good, my stomach has already starved to death!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Su noticed the black man behind Xu Jue, and said in surprise: "The strong man is born so majestic, he is definitely not a human being!" ”

Xu Jue smiled and said apologetically: "This person has a stubborn temperament and is not polite, if there is anything abrupt, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, I love to make friends with heroes and heroes, I don't know this brother's surname?" Lu Su smiled and looked at Li Kui loyally, which made people feel very warm.

"My name is Li Kui, Mr. Lu, don't worry about so much, it's okay to eat quickly?"

"Hahaha, I didn't think it through." Lu Su laughed loudly, and then invited the three of them into the manor, and the good students entertained them.

During the banquet, Lu Su was naturally shocked by Li Kui's eating appearance and amount of food, and shouted "Strong man!" ”。

After the reception, Lu Su sent one hundred and ten family members with a lot of money and food to go to Chaisang with Xu Qi and others, and gave some coils.

After Xu Jue went on the road, he couldn't stop admiring in his heart: "Zijing is really heroic!" ”

Originally, it could be reached in three or four days, but because there was an escort team, Xu Jue chose another road with many eyes, so the speed was a lot slower.

After walking for five days, he finally entered the territory of Jiujiang County, and when passing by a valley, Zhou Yu suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”

Everyone stopped, and Xu Qi wondered: "Why did Gongjin shout to stop?" ”

Zhou Yu looked around, his face full of vigilance: "Lord, you see, there are few people here, although there are official roads, the terrain is rugged, and there are many trees, I am afraid that there will be robbers, I am waiting to escort so much money and food, I am afraid that we will be targeted, without further ado, we should hurry as soon as possible." ”

Xu Qi listened to this and then paid attention to the surroundings, as Zhou Yu said, and the color of the mountains and rocks here is very peculiar, mostly red and yellow, there are many forests, which is quite suitable for ambush soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are cottages on the mountain.

"But does anyone know where this place is going to be?" Xu Qi asked loudly.

"Lord Hui, this place is called Xiasheng Valley, named after the color of the mountain rock, and it is said that this place is formed by the colorful stones left behind by Nuwa Niangniang after refining the stone." A Lu Su family member replied.

Xu Jue laughed in his heart: This is obviously the Danxia landform, which has a relationship with myths and stories, and it can be regarded as the ancients who had literary talents, so they gave it such an elegant name.

In order to comfort everyone, Xu Qi said loudly: "If it is still early today, and there is an official road here, there must not be any robbers who are so rampant and dare to rob the road in broad daylight, everyone just follow me." ”

After speaking, he immediately led the way, although he comforted everyone, but he was looking around, carefully guarding the surroundings, after all, this time is different from the past, public security has long become a big problem, and there must be and there are not a few robbers.

After walking for nearly a mile, two or three hundred people suddenly jumped out of the forest on both sides, led by two people, one black and one white, one strong and one thin, only to hear the black strong man shout: "You merchants have met grandpa, I count you unlucky, leave something to spare you from death, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Xu Jue secretly said in his heart that it was not good, seeing that he would be able to reach Chaisang in half a day's journey, but he encountered a robber at the last moment, and he was lightly armed and fast, with only a sword with him; Although Zhou Yu is proficient in swordsmanship, he is still young, how can he be a strong thief's opponent?

The remaining 100 people are all family members, how can they withstand the vicious robbers? Although there is Li Kui, a killing god, but two fists are invincible to four hands, and the heroes can't stand many people, and the two leaders don't seem to be ordinary people, so they must have some martial arts.

Xu Jue saw that he would definitely not be able to fight hard, so he wanted to maneuver: "We are just traders, transporting goods to Chaisang for sale, and please ask the two kings to raise their noble hands and let us go." ”

The black man laughed: "How can there be any reason to let go of the fat sheep in your hand? Again, hand over something or leave your life! ”

At this time, Li Kui was angry, but he was not a fool, and he didn't do anything when he saw a lot of people, so he pointed at Xu Qi and shouted: "You don't inquire about who this is?" He is the famous Xu Jue and Xu Boyu! ”

The two bandit leaders laughed dumbly when they heard this: "Just this little white face? Who are you bluffing, you sunny! Xu Taishou is not good in Chaisang, but he came here? Looking at the appearance of this little white face, I'm afraid that I haven't been weaned when I calm down the yellow scarf! ”

After speaking, they looked at each other and laughed insolently.

The hundreds of thieves behind him also laughed together, and suddenly the laughter roared into the mountains and forests, startling the birds to fly high and stay away from here.

Li Kui was furious: "Wow, brother, these two thieves are very disrespectful, look at me and cut off their heads!" With that, he rushed forward.

When the black man heard what Li Kui said, he also said angrily: "Grandpa, I'm not scared!" Dancing with a big knife, he fought with Li Kui, and fought for thirty or forty rounds without winning or losing.

The white thin man next to him saw that the big black man couldn't win, so he also swung his knife and rushed to Li Kui to help fight, and fought for more than ten rounds.

Xu Qi was worried that Li Kui would lose, so he dismounted and danced his sword to intercept the white thin man and fight, reducing Li Kui's pressure.

A few days ago, I learned swordsmanship with the martial arts master Zhou Dong, although I was not handy, but I was very talented, and I was also presentable, and the basic moves were still good, and I could fight with this white thin man.

Xu Qi commented in his heart that this white thin man was at most a second-rate general.

The man who fought with Li Kui did not have the help of his comrades, and did not fall into the disadvantage, but after dozens of rounds of vicious fighting, it was obvious that some of them could not be defeated, and it was a little difficult to parry, and there were many dangers.

Just when the four of them were fighting, Zhou Yu suddenly said, "May I ask if the two of you are Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin?" ”

The four people who caught the other people and fought each other dispersed, and the black man was relieved, panting in confusion: "How do you know the names of the two of us?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "I have long heard that there are two heroes in Jiujiang, called 'Hei Zhoutai, Bai Gongyi', these two people occupy the mountain as the king, rob the rich and help the poor, I think they are the two." ”

Zhou Yu didn't know if he guessed correctly, so he guessed blindly, but he didn't want to guess correctly.

Seeing that the two were silent, Zhou Yu then asked: "Why did the two of you fall into the grass, why don't you join the army to serve the country and make a contribution?" ”

That Zhou Tai's eyes were full of regret: "I and Gongyi are fellow villagers, I don't want the Yellow Turban to be in turmoil, and my family members are all dying in the turmoil. Jiang Qin next to him also shook his head and sighed when he heard this.

Zhou Yu saw that the two of them were shaken, and continued to induce: "Since the two of you want to join the army, why don't you vote for Chai Sang to guard Xu Jue?" This person is benevolent and loves the people, and the two of them will definitely be used for their skills. ”

Zhou Tai sighed: "Now we have been reduced to thieves, since ancient times, officials and thieves have not been separated, even if General Xu Lixian is a corporal, he must not be able to tolerate people like us who are guilty." ”

Zhou Yu laughed and said: "The strong man is too worried, General Xu Jue is not a person who attaches importance to his background, I can't hide it, I am a member of General Xu Jue, this is Xu Jue Xu Boyu." After speaking, he pointed to Xu Qi.

And Xu Jue was also pleasantly surprised after knowing the identities of the two, and he didn't expect that these two were famous generals in Eastern Wu, so he laughed loudly: "What a 'black and white', it's really good!" ”

Then he saluted: "It's Xu Qi below." ”

Zhou Tai Jiang Qin knelt on the ground with a "plop" when he heard this: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he just offended the adult, he really deserves death, and I hope the adult will forgive the sin!" ”

Xu Jue helped the two of them up and said in a harmonious voice: "Since the two of you have the heart to serve the country, come to me to build a meritorious career; Although the two are thieves, they are not extremely vicious, but righteous thieves, and the two of them have some strengths, if they come to vote, they will be reused! ”

Zhou Tai Jiang Qin knelt down and kowtowed when he heard this: "We will swear to serve the country and follow the general!" ”

Xu Jue helped the two of them up again and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" I'm glad to have two generals! ”

Zhou Tai arched his hand and said: "Lord, please wait a minute, I have hoarded a lot of money and food in the village, I am willing to sacrifice it to the lord, and let me and Gongyi go to burn down the cottage, and then come back to life!" ”

Immediately shouted: "There are those who are willing to join the army with us, those who are willing to join me, and those who are unwilling to disperse." ”

The two or three hundred people said in unison, "May you follow the king!" ”

So the two of them transported money and grain to burn the cottage, and took the two or three hundred people left in the village, a total of more than 600 people, to surrender to Xu Qi, and put on countless money and grain, and marched to Chaisang with Xu Qi and others.
