Chapter 55: Robbery and Murder (2)
The yellow monkey does not know his real name. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Yes, in this world, who has no name or surname? But when Chen Xianda, the general manager, found the yellow monkey in the middle of the ruins, only a puppet monkey accompanied him. The people who traveled with him all advised that it was not easy for a poor soldier to support himself, so how could he raise a four or five-year-old child? Chen Xianda thought about it for a night, and the next day he found a family surnamed Huang to entrust the child to go, before leaving, the family asked Chen Xianda to name the child, Chen Xianda said, then call it Yellow Monkey.
As for the adoptive father who was seriously ill later, and just after the age of Chengding, the yellow monkey joined the army as a battalion soldier, and was transferred to Chen Xianda's subordinates - the former general was already a hundred households, and he still recognized the yellow monkey at a glance, and because of this incense, he was mentioned as a personal soldier. After a few battles in Liaodong, the yellow monkey was less than twenty and was a serious veteran of eight hundred. Later, Chen Xianda asked to be transferred back to Sichuan, when Huang Monkey's adoptive father and adoptive mother had died, and he followed Chen Xianda from the cold Liaodong to the strange Sichuan thousands of miles away - this was ten years ago.
He and Chen Mingjiang were born and died together. In the matter of fighting, Chen Mingjiang believes in the yellow monkey more than he believes in himself, just because he goes back and forth between life and death, there is no need to be disturbed, just bring the smell, but if the yellow monkey smells a little, he can get around it ten miles and eight miles away.
"Mingjiang, this road can't be taken." The yellow monkey grabbed Chen Mingjiang's horse reins and calmly told him: "The taste in it is wrong." β
Chen Mingjiang raised an arm, and there was no need to shout to stop, and the soldiers immediately stopped in silence and surrounded the carriage. He and the yellow monkey jumped off the horse one after the other - here in a low valley of a mountain col, a few feet under the feet is a gurgling stream, behind the surrounding hills, and turn here and walk forward half a mile, is a deep valley, as if it has been fiercely split mountain road, on both sides of the steep to slow mountain wall, overgrown with trees, the mountain road is not more than three miles long, only one zhang wide, although not very dangerous, but for the convoy carrying heavy luggage, this road, is not so easy to walk.
"We also took this path when we came." Chen Mingjiang crossed his arms and looked at the seemingly ordinary mountain road, under the rare clear sky, the flowers and trees were gorgeous, and the stream was around, and there was really no danger in existence.
"It doesn't taste right." The yellow monkey opened his mouth flatly, and he couldn't say what the danger was - especially since they didn't deliberately cover up their identities, just to avoid being too high-profile and attracting impeachment for Chen Xianda, they just changed their mandarin duck robes, but they should have a lot of weapons, and some knowledgeable people should know that this team is mostly high-ranking officials and big families.
"Send someone to investigate." After Chen Mingjiang finished speaking concisely, he called two scouts to explain: "Explore the inside, especially on both sides of the mountain road, be careful of thieves ambushing." After speaking, he turned his head and asked the yellow monkey, "How is this?" β
"I can't tell." The yellow monkey frowned, he habitually rubbed the handle of his beloved long knife, and the cold texture of the metal calmed him down as always. "We don't know each other around here, but it doesn't taste right, it's really wrong." He muttered to himself a few times, thought about it again, and suggested to Chen Mingjiang: "This is my idea - let the brothers of the bow hang those strong bows on the strings, and the rest of the people will wear armor and unsheath their swords and guns, and Mingjiang will go to tell his wife to take precautions." β
Chen Mingjiang glanced at the yellow monkey deeply, and then turned around and commanded one after another in a loud voice: "Brothers, listen to the order: put on the battle!" He hurried to the carriage again, bowed down and clasped his fists and whispered: "Mother-in-law, I am afraid that the road ahead will be a little troublesome, and you and your sister will protect yourself." β
Chen's calm and powerful voice came out through the shield of the car curtain: "Mingjiang let it go!" I'll take care of it! β
The convoy came to life in an instantβthe soldiers silently opened the clumsy wooden boxes in their luggage, a pair of thick jackets and iron-length armor were exposed in the skylight, and some of the boxes were filled with deliberately blackened eight-petal hats, which cost less than half a column of incense, and fifty people helped each other, and they were all draped together; Chen Mingjiang also ordered the wooden box to be unloaded, the box board was nailed to both sides of the carriage, and some soldiers soaked the quilt in water and draped it over the horses pulling the cart.
When they had done this, they sat down cross-legged, more than fifty people, and there was no sound except for breathing and the occasional cough. Even the horses, at most, are just impatient to stand and bend their front hooves to dig the ground. They are like dormant beasts with their teeth and claws, waiting for an order, and the snow bright minions can tear apart every enemy who dares to stand in front of them!
They are pro-soldiers and generals, and among the ordinary battalion soldiers, only one of the ten people has this honor, and they are full of meat and meat every day, and they have leisure time to boil up their strength and compete in force. On the battlefield, the main general of the guard, charging forward, is a real battleman! In Liaodong, only these people can compete with the Jurchen Tartars' pro-soldiers, often with hundreds of soldiers in a battalion and countless money and food, so they can get dozens of elites!
Chen Mingjiang tightly tied his helmet to his chin, and checked his whole body, he glanced at the yellow monkey, the latter nodded slightly, he also nodded, no need to make a gesture, just turn over and get on the horse! Taking this as a signal, the soldiers sitting on the ground immediately got up, and the sound of iron pieces colliding and rubbing against each other rolled and hit the eardrums, stabbing people with a burst of tooth soreness!
The two scouts who went to investigate returned one after another, and the older one hugged his fist at Chen Mingjiang on the horse, and said: "The villain and others have investigated carefully, but they have not found any ambush, and there is no trace of anyone on the cliffs on both sides!" β
"Got it." Chen Mingjiang bowed slightly, motioned for the two to return to the team, and then said to the yellow monkey: "How?" I'm afraid you're being too careful this time. β
"I hope so." The yellow monkey tightened his waist, his face was still calm, and he was not surprised by the results of the scout's probing, but said plainly: "There is nothing wrong with being careful." β
Chen Mingjiang shook his head, he had never been helpless about this always sensitive friend. Refocusing his attention, he raised his right arm and slammed into the void as he shouted, "Go!" β
Deng Xiaobao lowered his eyebrows, and drank water without a sip on his face without much expression. The 100th person has been waiting for several hours from dawn to the present in this unventilated tunnel. But the brother in charge of seeing changed two or three groups of people, but he still didn't wait for the news of the target's arrival. There were already bandits who couldn't stay up, dozed off with their weapons, and snored loudly for a while. Lin Dahu had to wander in the middle of the team, and when he found someone who was about to fall asleep, he hit him with the back of a knife, until he jumped up.
"Leopard Head, how long do we have to wait?" Lin Dahu squeezed to Deng Xiaobao's side, and complained to him with a bitter face: "Murder and robbery, I didn't say it, the brothers are all good hands, but if you have to be patient, it's really difficult for the brothers!" The immortals are sweltering and hot, how long will they have to wait? β
Deng Xiaobao glanced sideways at this somewhat reckless subordinate without saying a word. Seeing Lin Dahu bow his head to avoid his gaze, he turned back, stared at the cowhide water bladder in his hand, and said lightly: "The two of them have a big car, a lot of luggage, and they travel with their mother-in-law and rich families, do you think they are as unparticular as those poor ghosts?" This is another mountain road, so it's not surprising that it walks slowly. Calculate the time, it's half an hour or so, you tell me brothers, be vigilant! Pull the strain, I can't spare him! β
"Listen to the master!" Lin Dahu agreed without saying anything, he passed the word, rubbed to Deng Xiaobao's side again, and asked with a hippie smile: "Before this, didn't we say that we were going to ambush in the mountain road?" Why did the leopard head find such a pickled place again? It's too breathless, and it smells of raw earth, isn't it good for us to be there on the mountain road? There is only one way left and right, as long as you go in, you can't get out of it! β
"That road is too dangerous." Deng Xiaobao replied slowly: "If you are a little precautionary, you must send someone in to check it out first." There are many miscellaneous trees on the mountains on both sides, and more than a dozen people can still say, how can we hide this hundred-year-old Dingkou there?! Speaking of this, he also had a smug face: "But here is different, they came out nervously and carefully all the way, all the way safe, how much can that idea of precaution be left?" All they want is for them to relax! When the time comes, it doesn't take much effort to wipe out this team! β
Lin Dahu's eyes widened, obviously impressed by Deng Xiaobao's cleverness, and he complimented vigorously: "Leopard head!" This is the Zhuge military master, and the next life is nothing more than that! It's really brilliant! He gave a thumbs up and said: "The leopard head is worthy of being the shopkeeper's henchman, this method is really first-class and clever!" β
"That's it!" Deng Xiaobao listened to Lin Dahu's boasting for a long time, and his heart was very proud, but he refused to show half a point on his face, and only shouted: "Now don't talk about it, polish the brothers with knives and guns, go out for a while, and teach the brothers to be careful of ambushes" He ordered in an orderly manner: "Look at my eyes, make those ten crossbows first, and stare at the horses!" Brothers with bows go up again, this time to shoot people! Don't skimp on long arrows! After two rounds, let's surround it again, this time, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu can't escape Lao Tzu's hand! β
As he was talking, the sentry brother ran over breathlessly all the way, and when he saw Deng Xiaobao from a distance, he knelt down and hissed: "Leopard head!" People are coming! But it doesn't look right! β
"Isn't that right?" Deng Xiaobao grabbed his collar and picked him up from the ground, and asked in a rough voice: "Gua Wazi explain it clearly to Lao Tzu!" β
"I watched it for a long time with the second child of the same week, and I felt like wearing armor! It's not like an ordinary person! The bandit who reported the news didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the previous discovery to Deng Xiaobao: "It's not like an ordinary person, Zhou Laoer's eyes are sharp, and he sees that he is wearing a helmet, like, like," he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued tremblingly in Deng Xiaobao's eyes like a knife: "Officers and soldiers! β
