Shanxi, one reason is because it is located in the west of the Taihang Mountains, and the other reason is because nearly eighty percent of its land is mountainous, so it is named.

'Da Da Da Da'

The sound of horses' hooves, from far to near, but only hear its sound, do not see its shape, if it is elsewhere, people will definitely feel strange, but in this Shanxi, people have been accustomed to it, because there are too many mountains in Shanxi, so the roads here are rugged mountain roads, straight avenues are very rare here.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw a large team of people with torches, coming from a distance, one carriage after another, one after another, adding up to nearly a thousand carriages, plus the surrounding escorts, there were at least more than 3,000 people, but, what is strange is that so many people, it is very strange that there are not many voices coming out, if you let the timid people see it, maybe you think you are seeing a ghost?

"Fourth uncle, you said that we should not rush during the day, we have to wait until the middle of the night, just in this weather, we can freeze into popsicles when we pee, what do you say is this!" Inside the convoy, on top of a carriage, a young man who looked to be in his twenties and had a pale face asked.

"Drive, drive, drive,"

Hearing the young man's words, the old man next to him, curled up, wearing a sheepskin jacket, looking like a peasant, while driving the carriage, said, "Mengsi, you are already in your twenties, and you are about to start a family, why are you still not growing up, you look at your brother, although he is the eldest grandson of the Huang family, but he has not started to go out to study since he was more than ten years old, this study is three years, in three years, he has not even entered the house, and now he is just in his thirties, Your father has already handed over most of the Huang family's family business to him to take care of, you say, if this continues, what will you do in the future, are you really eating at home and waiting for death? ”

The old man who spoke, although he looked like an old farmer, but in fact, he was indeed one of the eight great families of Jin Shang, the younger brother of Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang family, Huang Yunfei, don't look at Huang Yunfei's unsightly appearance, but those who are familiar with the Huang family know that for so many years, Huang Yunfa has presided over the overall situation inside, Huang Yunfei is outside, and he does things in person, the Huang family has this kind of achievement, and Huang Yunfei has a lot of credit.

And the young man beside him is Huang Yunfa's youngest son, Huang Mengsi, said to be the youngest son, in fact, it is also his second son, in addition to the eldest son Huang Mengqi, the two sons behind him died at an early age, so, for this young son, Huang Yunfa can be said to be pampered, this time, it is also because Huang Mengsi committed an accident at home, in desperation, in order to let him have a long experience, he arranged for him to follow Huang Yunfei to the customs to send this batch of grain.

"Hmph, fourth uncle, you don't know what I look like, how can I compare with my eldest brother, and I'm not the one who does business, so I don't want anything else, when the time comes, I can eat a bite of food at home, it's better than a few brothers from the Tian family, hey, by the way, fourth uncle, you haven't said it yet, why do we want to leave at night, what, with the prestige of our Huang family, on this one acre and three points of land in Shanxi, do you need to be afraid of others?" Huang Mengsi said while rubbing his hands.

"Hey, Mengsi, you have never come out, you don't know anything about the outside, if it was before, although the official army is very strict, but with the reputation of our eight families, to be honest, you really don't have to worry about anything, but now it's different, the world is in chaos, Li Chuang's chaotic thieves have already occupied Xi'an City, and I don't know when they will hit this Shanxi, so, recently, the mountain kings in this Shanxi have also jumped out, I heard that there are hundreds of thieves in Luliang, and they dare to attack the county seat, What if you're not careful? Huang Yunfei said with a sigh.

"Snort, I thought what was the matter, just such a little thing, I still wish to meet some bandits, bandits, not to mention anything else, just say that the five hundred Qing soldiers who followed behind, not to mention those thieves, even if it is a Ming official army with tens of thousands, it is estimated that they will not dare to do anything with us." Huang Mengsi said disdainfully.

"That being said, but be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, after all, we are still Han people, although we do business with them for the sake of profit, but this reputation is not very good, there have been people in the court to sue us before, if it weren't for our wide range of people, plus heavy bribes, maybe it has already been raided by the imperial court.

Therefore, recently, everyone in the Eight Families has been very cautious, if it weren't for the Manchurian regent Dolgon, who forced us to raise these grains, our Huang family would really not be willing to do this business. Huang Yunfei said with a sigh

"Brother Shi, this is where you are going to ambush, but it's big night, do you think the Huang family still needs to be so sneaky in transporting food, hey, it's such a cold day, it's strange to go back this night of freezing and not getting sick?" On a hill, Feng Laohu kept stomping his feet and said.

After some negotiation with Shi Lei, Feng Laohu finally decided to do this vote with Shi Lei, anyway, until now, if you don't do it, you will die, if you do, you will not necessarily die.

But Feng Laohu didn't expect that Shi Lei would pull him here at night, saying that he was going to grab the Huang family's grain here.

At the beginning, Feng Laohu thought that Shi Lei was joking, you know, in this place in Shanxi, with the power of the Eight Families, they don't need to be so sneaky at all, when the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were at their most intense, the Eight Families sent food to the Manchus, and it was not so secretive.

However, in response to Feng Laohu's questioning, Shi Lei swore to him that the Huang family would definitely take this road to transport food tonight, and in desperation, Feng Laohu could only accompany him to stand up.

In the middle of the night in Layue, it was a little light to say that the dripping water turned into ice, and just when Feng Laohu really couldn't hold on, he suddenly saw a figure running quickly, and then, he whispered beside them, "Come, my lord, come, come, obediently, what a long convoy, it looks like a fire dragon." ”

Hearing this voice, the person who had been frozen to some wood suddenly became a spirit, and then Shi Lei and Feng Laohu issued an order to prepare, this time, although he could not lead too many people, Shi Lei still brought two thousand people, one thousand of them were trained veterans, and one thousand of Chitu's people, and Feng Laohu also brought a team of one thousand people, although the number was not large, but they were all veterans who had seen blood.

The cold wind is cold, and such weather is unacceptable for people like Huang Yunfei who often come out to do errands, not to mention the pampered young master like Huang Mengsi, although he is wearing two thick leather jackets, Huang Mengsi still feels that the bones all over his body have been frozen numb, but he wants to sleep again, so painful, it makes him regret it in his heart.

Just when he was so cold that his teeth were trembling, he suddenly heard a shout, "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass here, leave it to buy road money." ”

As soon as such a classic four-sentence limerick poem came out, Huang Mengsi, who was originally in pain, suddenly became excited, and then looked up and saw a person standing there with a torch on the top of a hillside not far away, because the distance was a little far away, and the light of the torch was limited, so they couldn't see clearly, but from a distance, that person's figure was still very tall.

Sure enough, with this shout, the convoy that was moving quickly stopped in an instant, everyone looked at that figure, there were some less experienced people, and even had a disdainful smile on their faces, they all thought that this person was crazy, otherwise how could he dare to come here to rob alone?

However, experienced people are just the opposite, because they know that it is not the Raptors who are not the river, since people dare to come to rob, then they are sure to see it, especially seeing that their convoy is so large and people dare to stand up, then it can be seen how sufficient the confidence is.

As the leader of this grain transportation, no matter what the people below want, if they encounter this kind of thing, of course, Huang Yunfei will come forward to deal with it.

Sure enough, I saw Huang Yunfei get off the grain truck, and then walked briskly to the bottom of the hillside, and after bowing his hand, he shouted, "People take Yangguan Road, ghosts walk on the single-plank bridge, this brother, in the next is Huang Yunlong of the Huang family in Qi County, today I passed through your place, there is a lot of offense, and please see the face of the Huang family to understand a lot, of course, meeting is fate, here is a special one hundred taels of silver tickets, please brother tea, if you wait until Huang returns, there is another thanks." After finishing speaking, Huang Yunfei took out a half-tael silver ticket from his arms, put it on the ground, pressed it with a stone, and looked at the roadblocker.

"Xiangqi, what's going on ahead, why did the convoy stop, is there any trouble?" Just as Huang Yunlong was negotiating, behind the convoy, a general dressed in armor asked.

Hearing the general's question, a Manchurian cavalryman smiled and said, "Master Zige, there is nothing wrong, there is just a little thief blocking the way, and it will be solved quickly." ”

"There are robbers, so why didn't anyone inform us and let us prepare for battle." Ziggy asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's just a thief, let them solve it by themselves, let's not interfere, you know, before coming, Lord Duoduo said, don't easily reveal our whereabouts." Xiangqi said.

"Okay, you know the Han people best, just do what you say, but you have to know the significance of this batch of grain to our Qing Dynasty, so this batch of grain must not have an accident, otherwise, not only you and me, but even our family members will be reduced to slaves, so it's better to be careful in everything." Ziggy nodded.
