On the post road, a caravan marched with difficulty.

Yesterday there was a heavy rain, the ground was very muddy, and people and cars were walking slowly.

The forester wiped the sweat on his forehead and encouraged the guys: "Lin also knows that the big guys are hard, everyone work harder, we will soon arrive in Tongren County, and when we get to the place, Lin will pay everyone seven more days' wages." ”

A guy struggled to push the car stuck in the mud, and laughed loudly: "Outside the forester, he is a righteous man." Don't worry, the big guy will work hard. ”

Everyone responded and pushed the cart out of the mud with all their might.

The forester rode on a donkey and laughed happily.

This forester's name is Lin Luyao, and he is the forester that Hong Baichuan and his son talked about.

This forester is a very great businessman, when he was young, he was a small merchant who walked through the streets, and later saved some money, and began to open a grocery store, the grocery store business is not very profitable, but steady, the forester outside the steady money for a few years, then invested all the capital, opened a winery.

The winery was a lucrative business, but at that time, the forester was still a solid businessman with a little family background, and he was not a big family. Until one day, Lin Luyao went to Huling to visit his friend Hong Baichuan, and passed by a sorghum field on the way, Lin Luyao folded a sorghum to eat.

This sorghum is grain, but the sorghum stalks are rich in sugar, which is equivalent to an alternative sugar cane. In some places, sorghum stalks are used to squeeze sugar, and the so-called sorghum syrup is made from it. Lin Luyao originally wanted to chew a sorghum stalk, but when he took a bite, he unexpectedly found that there were a large number of small insects in the sorghum stalk.

If it is a different person, scolding and throwing away this sorghum stalk, it will be okay, but Lin Luyao is a shrewd person, and he immediately realized that the production of sorghum will be reduced this year. And sorghum. It was the main raw material for sake brewing during the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Luyao didn't say a word, and immediately went home, he didn't go to Huling'er, and when he returned to Tongren, he took out all his savings and bought a large number of sorghum. During the autumn harvest of that year, the production of sorghum was greatly reduced, and the price of grain exploded, so Lin Luyao not only stockpiled a large amount of raw materials for his winery, but also sold sorghum at a high price, thus making a fortune. He became one of the richest businessmen in Tongren County, and he was also quite famous in Tongren Mansion.

Nowadays, the business of the forester is not only limited to the winery, this time to the Central Plains is trafficked is a batch of high-quality silk, this batch of freight to Tongren County, can be sold at that time, can also be transported to Guiyang Mansion, the profit doubled not only, so the forester personally followed.

On the road ahead, there is a place where two low mountains meet. The low hill is full of low shrubs, dense and green.

There is also a gentle slope of about a few hundred paces between the low mountain shrubs and the ground avenue, with sparse trees and half-yellow turf. If you get closer, you will notice that some of the turf has obvious traces of being shoveled, because there are traces of round or square dirt around some of the turf.

A man on a donkey overtook the caravan outside the forester and drove between the two low mountains. Singing the mountain song leisurely: "Mom and Dad gave me a piece of land, it has been wasted for seventeen, eighteen or nine years, who will open up the wasteland tonight." Keep plowshares breaking ......"

The mountain song is a song sung by the people of the mountains and wilderness in their leisure time to relieve their boredom, bold and rough, this person pinched his voice and learned to sing with a woman's thin voice, and enjoyed himself in the wilderness, but there was nothing to be ashamed of.

A piece of turf with dirt around it moved, and a human head poked out from below, looked around vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "Cheer up, here comes the idea!" ”

There was a chorus under the surrounding turf: "Yes, boss!" ”

Look at the human head that poked out, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a beard under his chin, it was the dragon master who had dealt with Zhao Wenyuan, and the famous number one thief in the surrounding counties, Long Lingyun, who had more than 200 brothers under his command.

The man who rode the donkey and sang the mountain song did not seem to be giving them a message, and sang a mountain song leisurely and then disappeared, but just went down the road and gradually turned the mountain bend. But as soon as his figure disappeared into the corner of the mountain, the song came from afar

"Seven catties of wool iron and eight catties of steel, tonight I will come to open up the wasteland, dig down nine inches and ten inches, and plant seedlings on the thatch."

Long Lingyun frowned, and said to himself: "Damn, there are people on the other side?" ”

At this time, a piece of turf moved, and a human head also drilled out from underneath, and asked, "Big brother, it seems that there are people on the other side, can we still move?" ”

Long Lingyun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "There shouldn't be many people coming from the other side, otherwise it would not be a reminder to pray for the sixth child, but a warning." The fat sheep outside the forester can't just let it go and act according to the original plan. ”

"Good!" The man agreed, and the head retracted under the earth, but the corner of a hunting bow faintly appeared on the turf, and the corner of the hunting bow was exposed in the distance, and no one would notice it at all, and even if anyone could see it, they would think it was a tree root.

Long Lingyun got a message from Zhao Wenyuan in advance, not only did he clearly know how many cars there were outside the forester, what kind of goods were on board, and how much they were worth, but also the number of people and weapons equipped with them were also clear, so he made careful arrangements in advance.

Because it was discovered that this batch of goods was silk, domineering means such as fire attack and bamboo guns were first excluded, and because it was discovered that the silk was packed in boxes, and the boxes were placed in boxcars, and nearly thirty guards were wearing melee weapons such as waist knives, so Long Lingyun deliberately chose this place, and was equipped with a large number of crossbow arrows, intending to use a long attack first to solve the opponent's main combat power and solve the battle quickly.

Now although he knew that there were people coming from the other side of the mountain pass, since Qi Lao Liu signaled that there were not many people and he could continue to do it, he refused to give up this big deal.

At the foot of the mountain, Qi Lao Liu rode a donkey and avoided the side of the road with a humming chirp. The mountain road was already narrow, and there were eight knights on the opposite side guarding a carriage, and he would not give way, so the two sides could not pass at the same time.

A gorgeous light car, driving unhurriedly, a long wheel with a wide axle and big wheels, a carriage with peacock blue painted flowers, and the four horses pulling the car are all majestic jujube horses, and the eyes of the sixth man suddenly lit up: "Look at this posture, it must be a fat sheep!" ”

But the glimmer of light was only a faint flicker, and then it disappeared in his slightly yellowed eyes, and a knight on a tall horse glanced at him with a broad-brimmed sunhat with a horsewhip.

Qi Lao Liu, dressed in a two-piece coat full of wind and dust, put a yellow-colored coat on his shoulders, smiled at him humbly, and grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth, and the knight turned his head disdainfully.

Qi Lao Liu's eyes glanced at the gorgeous light car again, the velvet curtain hung lightly, and he couldn't see the situation inside, but it was foreseeable that with such a pomp, it must be a noble-born person, maybe carrying expensive treasures with him.

The chariot and horse passed in front of him, and the old man lifted the reins and rode on the donkey to continue on the road.

The eight knights who escorted the carriage walked leisurely, allowing the horses to gallop lightly, and the handlebar-like whip was also inserted into the latch of the wheel, and the four horses naturally galloped merrily along the road.

One of the knights raised his head, glanced around with an alert gaze, and reminded the others: "Everyone, there are two mountains in front of us, let's be careful." ”

A knight couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Zhao, it's the first time you've followed Miss out, right?" On the entire ground in Guizhou, who dares to touch our Tian family? ”

The knight who had spoken out earlier reminded his face turned slightly red, and said, "Brother Chen, we came out this time, but we didn't use the banner of the Tian family. ”

Brother Chen said proudly: "So what? If there is really a small robbery, rely on Chen's 'chaotic cloak' knife technique to discipline him if he has no return! ”

Brother Chen said, patting the saber on his waist. At this time, they saw a convoy facing them, and it was slowly approaching them, judging from the appearance of the team, it should be a business team.

This dirt road is the official road from Huxian to Tongren, it is said to be the official road, it has been in disrepair for a long time, it has long been potholes, and the road is not wide, it can only accommodate a big car, plus the horses supported by the left and right are passed through guò.

Because the two sides are grasslands that slowly extend to the hillside, in fact, the two cars are staggered, and each of them is rolling half of the grass, and they are also staggered, but Brother Chen's group of people escorted the light car and went straight forward, without any intention of giving way.

These people have a good kung fu, but they have no experience in the rivers and lakes, they are just the guardians of the wealthy families, and they are the teachers and apprentices who have served the Tian family from generation to generation, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty, but kung fu can usually only be demonstrated in the school martial arts field, and there is almost no chance of seeing blood.

When they go out, they only play the banner of the Tian family, and the role they play is just a guard of honor. Jianghu is just a phrase they often talk about, this is a group of tigers with no experience in the wild.

The two sides gradually met in this place between the two mountains, seeing that the other party did not mean to give way, the forester was a little annoyed in his heart, the other party only had a light car, the rest of the people were on horseback, it was easy to avoid the grass, and his convoy would be troublesome if it avoided.

This road is difficult to walk after the rain, and it is even more difficult to avoid the grass, once it falls into the mud, it is very difficult to pull it out, but the forester is a businessman, and he pays attention to the harmony and wealth, and he sees that the other party is not small, and he wants to come to the usual day, but he does not dare to offend, so he has to order the convoy to avoid the grass on the side.

The men were angry, and led the carriages and horses to the grass with shouts and drinks, and deliberately let them wait on the road, and the two teams were staggered, and the road was muddy, and there was chaos on the board.

The master of the dragon quietly poked his head out from under the turf, observed such a scene, and couldn't help but laugh: "God really help me!" He immediately lifted the turf, jumped out of the hole, and shouted, "Do it! ”

:Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets!.
