Chapter 123: Unexpected
Only Feng Jian and Cheng Yousheng rode horses in the team, and the two drove to the carriage where the three girls were riding, Feng Jian ordered Pan Zhaoying to slow down the car, and then asked Su Su in the carriage to take out five taels of silver and hand it to Cheng Yousheng, so that he could buy food.
Five taels of silver is 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan of Huaxia coins in later generations, and five taels of silver is more than enough to buy some steamed buns and steamed buns and other meals in the market town in front of you.
Cheng Yousheng took the silver tael, turned the horse's head and headed towards the nearby market, Feng Jian saw that the three women in the carriage showed a little uneasiness, so he planned to comfort the three of them a few words.
Xiao Hairpin was straightforward, and when he saw Feng Jian coming to him, he hurriedly asked: "Brother Feng, Xiao Hairpin saw that there were many people looking inside the carriage, and they didn't look like good people, isn't it peaceful outside?" ”
Su Su was beside the silver box, at this moment she hugged the silver box tightly with both hands, and looked at Feng Jian with bright eyes, which meant that no one would want to take the silver box away from her, in Su Su's mind, the matter entrusted by Feng Jian was the top priority!
Among the three, Chen Lilan was the most calm, and although his cold eyes looked a little anxious, he still looked at Feng Jian calmly.
The expressions of the three of them fell into Feng Jian's eyes one by one, and they naturally had another emotion in their hearts.
Feng Jian said with a smile: "This place is close to a densely populated place, and a small group of bandits dare to commit murder casually, and a large group of bandits have nowhere to hide their whereabouts. Therefore, although some people peep, no thief dares to do anything to us. ”
The little hairpin patted his little chest and said: "Brother Feng said that no thief dares to use his brains, and the little hairpin is relieved!" Miss, Sister Su Su, don't you say! ”
Su Su let go of the silver box with both hands, and said with pride in his tone: "Of course, even those bandits who don't have long eyes dare to come and fight bad ideas." Is our Huluyan Earthquake Mountain Camp an ornament! How strong the Sow Ridge bandits are, they are not the same as being defeated by the Earthquake Mountain Camp! ”
Chen Lilan said lightly: "Since it is the commander who personally escorts the little girl back. Naturally, everything has been arranged, so let's not speculate on the three of us. So as not to make a mess for others! ”
Feng Jian squinted his eyes and stared at the face covered by the veil, as if relieved and swearing, and said softly: "This place is still twenty miles away from Pingdu City, Miss Chen, please rest assured, I, Feng Jian, will risk my life, and I will not let the thieves hurt you!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the three women suddenly changed dramatically, and the little hairpin looked at her young lady with a happy face; Su Su's face suddenly turned pale, and his bright eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist. Both hands subconsciously hugged the silver box; And the jade face under Chen Lilan's veil suddenly turned crimson, and her beautiful eyes looked at Feng Jian in surprise.
Then his eyes quickly turned to Su Su, and when he saw Su Su's pale face, he sighed secretly: "Please be respectful to the commander, the little girl just wants to go home and reunite with her family a moment earlier at this time." ”
After Feng Jian said this, he felt that he was reckless, and when he saw Su Su's dripping expression, he suddenly felt a little guilty, and hurriedly remedied: "Of course Su'er is the same, no one can hurt you with me Feng Jian." ”
Su Su's teardrops seemed to be broken. He nodded in a choked voice and said, "Su'er understands that Feng Jian will not leave me alone...... Woo...... Feng Jian, you don't have to worry, Sister Lilan and Xiao Hairpin are both Su'er's sisters! He covered his mouth as he spoke.
Feng Jian's eyes moistened suddenly, the kindness, virtuousness, and dedication of women in this era are all reflected in Su Su, and this woman is tolerant of her infatuation. How can I let her down!
Xiao Hairpin grabbed Su Su's arm and said, "Sister Su Su, as long as you don't dislike it, Xiao Hairpin is willing to be a sister to you." ”
Chen Lilan's clear eyes looked at Su Su apologetically. patted her arm lightly and said, "Su'er, you said that we will always be good sisters." I remember my sister, and my sister is willing to be a good sister with you! ”
After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head to Feng Jian and said, "The commander is still leading the way, Lilan is now like an arrow!" ”
Feng Jian looked at Su Su, and then at Chen Lilan, feeling that the two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, he rubbed his red nose blown by the cold wind and said: "Okay, Miss Lilan, Su'er, you are all seated, let's speed up, this commander will go to the front to take a look." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Pan Zhaoying, who seemed to be concentrating on driving the carriage, and said, "Pan Fatty! ”
The scene just now was completely taken into Pan Zhaoying's eyes, and he admired the commander very much in his heart, it seemed that this Miss Chen was quite affectionate to the commander, it was really incredible! If the commander really becomes the uncle of the Pingdu Zhizhou family, hehe...... The old and young of Huluyan followed suit......
Hearing the commander's shout, Pan Zhaoying was thrilled and hurriedly said, "The villain is here, the commander, please command." ”
Feng Jian grinned at Pan Zhaoying and said, "The fat man sped up the carriage, we need to rush to Pingdu City as soon as possible!" ”
Pan Zhaoying was excited, and hurriedly shook the horsewhip and said, "The villain obeys the order!" Boom, drive ......"
Feng Jian turned his horse's head and walked forward, this area should be safe, ordinary thieves would not choose a densely populated place to rob.
About a stick of incense, the whole team walked to the vicinity of Xiaohuakou Zhangjiaji, and saw Cheng Yousheng carrying a big burden and holding a horse to wait on the side of the road.
Next to the official road are some local grocery vendors, and occasionally bursts of firecrackers can be heard in the distance, and some farmers who are rushing to the market are lively and watching from afar.
Most of these hawkers who dare to set up stalls next to the official road are scoundrels who often do some forced buying and selling.
At the beginning, I saw that Cheng Yousheng was immediately hanging a big bag of food, and a few hawkers had a bit of a sense of stepping forward to snatch it, and when they saw this man on horseback with a waist knife in his hand with a fierce look, these people immediately became honest, and wanted to hit each other's ideas, but the other party's knife was not long-sighted!
Some sharp-eyed hawkers suddenly found that there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages on the road in the distance, which seemed to be horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods, and these people all felt that the opportunity had come, if this was a team of merchants who were trafficking in foreign goods, they could see if they could buy a batch of them and traffic them back.
These small traders gathered together, noisily towards the Huluyan people, before they got close to the convoy, they saw more than 20 men with knives and guns running out of the convoy, it seems that these small traders take a step further, these big men will be mercilessly hit with knives and guns in their hands.
The small traders were frightened, and a few bold ones tried to shout to each other, but no one paid attention to them on the other side, and more than twenty guards walked forward in unison with their swords, and more than a dozen carts followed unhurriedly behind.
In the end, these hawkers, who were planning to buy and sell, had no choice but to disperse and make way for the team to travel south.
Feng Jian motioned for Cheng Yousheng to get on the horse and leave the area where the market was located first.
Cheng Yousheng understood, put the burden in his hand on his back, turned around and got on the horse and followed the team towards the south.
In the bazaar, people of all ages speculated that this was a merchant who came from, and they didn't know what valuable goods they were carrying.
Some of the harborers in the bazaar began to look at each other, each with their own ideas!
There are many people in this bazaar, and if there are really people with evil intentions to besiege and rob the convoy, it is very easy to deal with the more than 20 people in the earthquake camp.
Therefore, Feng Jian urged everyone to quickly pass through Xiaohuakou Zhangjiaji to avoid being intercepted in this crowded place.
After walking out of the two-mile road in Xiaohuakou Market Town, the construction of the official road in front of him began to be relatively wide, Feng Jian looked around, and saw that it was surrounded by a plain, and the fields were full of withered yellow weeds, and there should be no thieves to hide here.
"Huh" Feng Jian pulled the reins of the horse, turned his head and ordered: "Everyone can rest here for a while, eat some steamed buns and buns to pad hunger, and then we are on the road." ”
Behind him, both the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion and the driver who drove the car breathed a sigh of relief, the inexplicable fast rush just now seemed to be a false alarm!
Neither Feng Jian nor the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion noticed that there was a drainage ditch more than half a person deep next to the mountain road, and the Tibetans in it could not be seen standing on the road at all.
If Xu Yannian or Zhao Shougang and other cautious people were here, they would definitely pay attention and remind Feng Jian and the others to send someone to investigate the surroundings first to ensure that they were safe before they could stop to eat and rest!
The task of escorting and probing this time was originally Cheng Yousheng's business, but now he is carrying a large burden to eat, waiting to be assigned to everyone. Now he can only follow Feng Jian around and is preparing to distribute food.
Feng Jian reined in his horse, turned his head and instructed Cheng Yousheng: "First distribute the food to everyone, let everyone eat it quickly and then hurry, and the food of the three people in the carriage will be sent to them by the commander." ”
Cheng Yousheng immediately dismounted and opened the big baggage, only to see that inside the baggage was a large pile of steaming meat buns and steamed buns.
Cheng Yousheng shouted: "The two squad leaders came to get the food, and the rest of the soldiers temporarily stopped to stay on guard. Fan Li, Bao Feng, you two come over to pick up the handlebar style of the car and take away the food ......"
Feng inspected the process, Yousheng handed over a bag of steamed buns and buns, turned the horse's head and headed towards the carriage of Chen Lilan and the others.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Feng Jian saw many figures emerging on both sides of the road, and Feng Jian was suddenly excited. Not good! There were bandits in ambush in the ditches on both sides of the road, and there were quite a few of them, and Feng Jian broke out in a cold sweat!
Feng Jian didn't have time to think about it before he shouted loudly: "All on guard, there are thieves!" After speaking, he threw away the steamed bun in his hand, ran back to Cheng Yousheng with the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Hurry up and get on the horse, you have encountered a bandit ambush!" If the situation is critical, you immediately rush out on horseback and go to Zhou Donkey to come to support. ”
Cheng Yousheng didn't say a word, put aside the food and turned around and stepped onto the war horse, and the two team leaders who came over to receive things by Cheng Yousheng's side did not wait for Feng Zhen's orders, and immediately turned around and ran back to their respective teams.
I saw the thieves hiding on both sides of the ditch hulala rushing to the road, these thieves were about more than 100 people, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to surround Feng Jian and the others, even people and carriages.
One of the thieves shouted: "Brothers, don't stop, go up and scatter them, and kill those who resist directly." The thieves on both sides of the mountain road shouted, brandishing their motley weapons and began to rush towards the Hulu Rock team.
The width of the road is limited, and once these more than 100 thieves rush to the road, it will be difficult for more than 20 people in the Zhenshan Battalion to withstand the siege of more than 100 people on the other side.
