Chapter 145

The sun gradually began to move westward, and the clouds in mid-air were reflected by the sunlight in a blood-red color, and everything in heaven and earth was also crossed with a layer of faint golden yellow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoCompared with the frozen north, although the south of the Yangtze River is a little wet and cold in winter, it does not see the cold of the north, but the official road in the mountains still seems a little cold, especially when the mountain wind blows and the surrounding snow scene, it makes people feel like they are in the north.

On the mountain road, a group of merchants were walking, this group of merchants was obviously divided into two groups, the first to sit in the carriage Zhao Shangdian opened the curtains, just a gust of mountain wind blew, the cold mountain wind made his spirit also refreshing, the saddle horse on the way immediately went halfway. Entering the mountains is the place where accidents occur most often, although the New Year has passed, but at this time, it is the time when the bandits and robbers in the mountains are rampant - the New Year has made them all poor.

He glanced around, the farmers in the fields far away from the mountain road were already packing up their belongings and preparing to go home to rest, and in the distance there were wisps of cooking smoke rising from the villages looming in the trees and mountains, and he was accompanied by a dozen or so men, three mud-legged men who were hurrying, a caravan of six foot merchants, and two young men who looked like scholars walking together.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with these people."

Zhao Shangdian quietly passed this person with defensive eyes, and comforted himself in his heart.

Zhao Shangdian, who has been a businessman for many years, is not worried about encountering bandits and robbers, sometimes, those bandits and robbers are better than the bureaus of the government, and people just want to count, even if they are bandits and robbers, they also know the trickle. I also know that I can't do things perfectly. Occasionally. Zhao Shangdian will set his eyes on the two young people who look like scholars. However, these two young men were very different from the usual scholars he was used to, in their twenties, and the bright eyes on their handsome faces showed a resolute expression. Both of them are much stronger than most readers, both of them are much stronger than most readers.

Zhao Shangdian, who was also a scholar many years ago, looked at the appearance of these two scholars, and couldn't help but recall in his heart that when he was a high-spirited teenager, he was not the same as them at that time, but it seemed to be a little different, and he didn't seem to have this kind of spirit like theirs. Especially these two young people have walked more than ten miles, but they don't see a trace of fatigue, even if they are scholars from a peasant family, I am afraid that they are sweating profusely after walking more than ten miles!

"If you don't go to the next place to stay, make friends with them......"

After thinking about it, Zhao Shangdian lifted the curtain of the carriage and lit the hookah with a foreign fire and smoked it. There's always a little bit of a hobby.

The group bent over a small mound, and not far in front of them was still a small peak. The small hills, with their characteristic topographical features of hilly terrain, stretch out into the distant twilight in the distance.

Seeing that this night was approaching, Zhao Shangdian, who had been walking this way all the year round, immediately remembered the threat of bandits, and hurriedly urged the guys:

"Let's go, let's go!"

At this time, a few mud-legged men who were walking together had already left the group from which fork in the road, only the two scholars and the footman were still with them, and the footman obviously also knew that there were bandits here, and they all drove the mules and horses to lead the way, but the two young men did not seem to know the sorrow, and pointed at the surroundings along the way, leaving them far behind the back of the group.

Just as the caravan entered the mountain road of Banfeng, a whistle sounded, and thirty or fifty men with guns and knives jumped out of the roadside woods, surrounded everyone in a circle, and the mouth of the first man burst out with a thunderous shout.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth! I've been waiting for a long time, uncle, why did you come here so hard! ”

Zhao Shangdian, who was sitting in the car, saw that the bandits were coming, and did not panic, but took the initiative to jump out of the carriage, he looked at the footmen who were calm and formed a small circle, pulled out their waist knives from the mule and horse frame, and aimed at the surrounding bandits. The merchant led by him clasped his fist at the bandits:

"Friends on the road, we are small businessmen, go south and north to make some hard money, but we also know that it is not easy for friends to make a living, in this way, everyone makes a friend, and we want to meet in the future.

The bandit leader looked at the waist knives in the hands of the merchants, but he smiled with his fists.

"Small business? If it is a small business, the uncle will naturally not talk nonsense! But a few of them are really a small business! ”

A few mud-legged men who had just been on the same road appeared next to the bandit leader:

"Big brother, I heard him talk nonsense, we have been eyeing them since Hangzhou Mansion, and their whereabouts along the way are very ghostly, hiding from the bureau, it is estimated that the mule is also a red goods, and this ticket is enough for the brothers to eat for a few years."

The words of the mud legs made Zhao Shangdian's face turn white, what is not afraid of touching such a merchant with red goods, bandits talk about the rules, but if they don't do things like killing people and taking goods, then how can they be bandits.

As soon as they heard that they had caught a fat fish, the bandits howled loudly with excitement, and the bandit leader smiled at the leading foot trader:

"Friend, hear it, the acquaintance will leave the silver and goods, and Lao Tzu will let you live, otherwise you will ......"

He replaced the following words with a skillful drawing of his gun, and in his hand was a somewhat worn six-shot revolver.

The merchant nodded helplessly under the threat of the gun:

"Brothers, let's all take out the money, it's not worth it to lose your life for money."

As he spoke, he was the first to throw away his sword and take the silver from the basket on the mule's back, and several other merchants followed suit. Seeing that a large windfall was about to arrive, all the horses, including the bandit leader, held their breath and watched their movements with wide eyes, fantasizing about the appearance of a large amount of silver, and some people were drooling.

But when they saw clearly that the merchants had taken their hands out of the baskets, all of them shuddered, and involuntarily took half a step back, and twelve brand-new shiny six-shot short guns were held in the hands of the merchants, and the bolts were wide open, and the muzzles of the black holes flashed blue light and aimed at the crowd, and everyone who was pointed at them shrank their necks in fright and retreated.

The leading merchant no longer had the previous flattery, but was replaced by a murderous aura, which even the bandits who had killed countless people began to be afraid, and only listened to the merchant who had spoken flattering to the bandit leader eloquently.

"What I just said is still counting, give the brothers 50 taels of silver as a meeting gift, and they will still be friends when they meet in the future, if we really fight, although there are few of us, you may not be able to take advantage, and the first to see King Yan must be you!"

Saying that, the commercial muzzle of the merchant pointed at the bandit leader opposite, at this time the bandit leader was already timid, he thought it was a fat sheep, who knew that it was a barbed bone, but if he retreated like this, his prestige in front of his brothers would fall sharply in the future, and if he didn't get the position of the boss well, he would have to be replaced by someone else; But if you want to stand up, looking at the other party's posture, your own life will definitely not be guaranteed.

At this moment, a shout came from afar:

"Stop! Stop! It's all your own people, you are not allowed to shoot! ”

But it was the young man who had just fallen behind, and when he saw the situation, he shouted and ran over.

As soon as the words fell, two scholars had already run in front of them, and one of them couldn't take a breath, so he hurriedly asked the bandit leader:

"What's your name? Which boss's brother is it? ”

"I, my name is Xu Dali, and I am under the banner of our Fourth Master Wei."

Xu Dali hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that the two scholars said that they had noses and eyes, they replied in a snort.

One of the scholars walked up to the merchant in a few steps and whispered something, while the other said with a slow face:

"Brother Xu, we just happened to be looking for Fourth Master Wei, and we asked Brother Xu to lead the way!"

"No!"

As soon as he heard that he had seen the fourth master, Xu Dali refused without hesitation:

"How can this lead a guest up the mountain! Absolutely not. ”

The young man who looked like a scholar was not angry, but approached and cut his mouth with Xu Dali. Zhao Shangdian, who was standing next to the carriage, looked at the scholar and the bandit, and simply couldn't believe his eyes, what's wrong? How to read and bandits stand together.

"Ouch, this is really your own people, you were sent by Tan Sanye!"

After the incision, Xu Dali immediately became excited:

"I'm vigorous, in this life, except for Wei Siye, the one I admire the most is Tan Sanye, that is, the fourth master, and the third master is also admired, if you say it earlier, what nonsense are we talking about!"

One of the scholars and the trader looked at each other, as if surprised at the speed of the change.

"Yes, we were sent by Tan Sanye, and this time we went up the mountain to give gifts to the fourth master, you see......"

Xu Dali hurriedly nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, the fourth master ordered a few days ago that the third master Tan was going to send someone, aren't we just waiting for you here......"

So the two groups of people became intimate as one, forgot the embarrassment of almost fighting just now, and chattered for a long time, but looking at this strange scene, Zhao Shangdian's heart was in his throat, should it be ......

"A few masters, I'll take you to our fourth master."

Turning to leave, the leader of the merchants shouted:

"Slow, what about them?"

As he spoke, Zhao Shangdian and several of his buddies were squeezed into a pile with one finger of his hand.

"That's easy, let me do them!"

Xu Dali spoke in a tone as relaxed as killing a chicken, and pulled out a dagger as he spoke. Seeing the bandit leader holding a knife, approaching step by step with a murderous smile on his face, Zhao Shangdian's legs suddenly became weak in fright, although he had been in business for many years, he had never encountered such an unreasonable person.

"This master, this master ......"

Just when Zhao Shangdian wanted to fight for his own life, he suddenly heard a voice coming:

"Slow, don't kill him!"
