Chapter 116: Jointed Black Talk
The tall bandit leader took the money bag and poured it out, sneering slightly, "Cut, treat us as Hanako!" Passing over Sun Qian, the bandit leader stared straight at the war horses under the guards' crotches, his eyes were shining.
"Big brother, they're all good horses!" A thief-eyed guy stepped forward and whispered to the bandit leader.
The bandit leader smiled and nodded, "Leave the horses behind, and I'll let you live." Otherwise, I'll kill you! ”
Sun Qian shook his head regretfully, turned around and said to Guan Ping, who had already beaten the horse behind him: "I can't do it!" It's up to you! ”
Guan Ping smiled slightly, "Don't worry!" Sir, please go back to the car and rest in peace! Leave it to us here! After saying that, he waved his hand back, and the guards behind rushed forward in a puff of smoke, forming a tall human wall in front of the carriage.
Seeing that the caravan was about to resist, the bandit leader smiled slightly and waved his hand back: "Rush to Lao Tzu and kill them all!" ”
It's really "raise your arms and shout, and the clouds will respond!" The bandits babbled with sharp weapons and rushed forward with the boss. That momentum is almost catching up with the regular army!
"Puff~Puff~Puff~"
Life is like chocolate, you never know what will happen in the next moment? The bandits would never have dreamed that there would be such a powerful guy in the hands of this group of ordinary dressed guys!
The dozens of people who rushed up in an instant were all hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the one who fell behind, and the bandit leader who rushed to the front was directly shot into a bloody hedgehog. The death was horrifying. The bandits, who had not died from the arrow, fell to the ground and groaned.
Guan Ping sneered, took out the blade from his waist and jumped off the horse. The guards behind followed suit, their blades glowing with a chilling glow in their eyes.
"Puff~Puff~Puff~" A sharp blade was inserted into the atrium, and blood gushed out. After a while, there was no more groaning on the ground.
"Don't leave your mouth alive!" I don't know when Sun Qian stood behind Guan Ping, startling Guan Ping. Sun Qian was a thin little old man. But the well-defined face can still see the handsomeness of his youth. The beard is gray and neatly trimmed. The breeze blows, and the beard trembles slightly.
"Don't worry! Mr! Guaranteed to keep them dead! ”
"Oops! I said, why don't you go on without changing your clothes! Look at the blood of this body, how will you enter the city? Sun Qian saw that Guan Ping had a lot of blood splattered on his body.
Guan Ping smiled embarrassedly, "I'll change it in a while!" Change it in a while! ”
"General, come and see!" One of the guards suddenly shouted.
Guan Ping and Sun Qian hurriedly ran over, and the guards handed them a yellow gilded bronze plaque engraved with seven large characters "General Weidangkou of Yangzhou". Everyone was taken aback when they saw this!
"It's Cao Jun's people! Still a general! What's going on? Have we been discovered! Sun Gan was shocked. He shook his head. "No, if we are exposed, Cao Jun can intercept and kill us in a righteous and bright way, why hide your head and show your tail like this?"
"Their target is not us! It's a business trip in the past! I don't know when Mi Zhu and Young Master Zhuge stood behind Sun Gan.
Sun Qian turned around, "What does Zizhong mean?" ”
Mi Zhu took the bronze medal, smiled slightly, and stuffed the bronze medal into his arms. "It is nothing new for officers and soldiers to disguise themselves as bandits and rob passing merchants. When I was young, I also encountered it when I was a businessman with my father. These people should be the officers and soldiers of the nearby Yangzhou Guard. ”
"I see! It's really hateful that these soldiers and ruffians are doing the things of robbers while they are holding the country's money! "Sun Qian is a Confucian student, although he has followed Liu Bei in the troubled times for many years, but it is still difficult to get rid of the scholarly spirit in his bones.
Mi Zhu understood Sun Qian, smiled slightly, and was noncommittal. Turning to Guan Ping, he said, "Virtuous nephew, let the guards clean up the scene and leave here as soon as possible!" If these people dare to do this, I am afraid that they will be approved by the upper peak, and once the nearby officers and soldiers find out that they have been killed, we will be in danger! ”
"Nuo~" Guan Ping took the order and left.
The guards dragged the bandits into the nearby woods and buried them. Cleaned up the blood on the ground and changed the clothes that had been splattered with blood. After everything was in order, he continued to gallop towards Hefei.
In a place ten miles away from Hefei, the official road began to become paved with hard bluestone slabs. At this time, the financial resources of the imperial court were limited, and official roads paved with bluestone slabs would only appear in some places close to the city or on more important military routes.
However, the carriage will travel much more smoothly on this part of the journey.
"Sir, there's a checkpoint ahead!" Sun Qian reminded in a low voice.
Mi Zhu stuck his head out of the car, and saw that there was indeed a sentry post not far ahead, and Cao Jun's soldiers were checking pedestrians. "What's going on? It is still several miles away from Hefei City, so how can there be a checkpoint here? Could it be that something big is happening in Hefei? ”
"I don't know! It's better to be careful! The date agreed with Su Weng is today, right? ”
"Yes! However, the agreed location is in the Fuxing wine shop in the city! ”
"Yes!" Sun Qian nodded. "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Let's go~"
The convoy slowly moved towards the checkpoint.
"Parking~ Talking about you!" The sentry stopped the carriage. An officer dressed as a colonel stepped forward, raised the curtain of the car, and saw a rich fat old man holding a child of six or seven years old. The child stared at himself with a pair of frightened eyes, looking like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
"What do you guys do?" The officer asked.
"Master Jun, you've worked hard!" As Sun Qian spoke, he quietly stuffed a piece of horseshoe gold into the school official's hand. "We are all former merchants, going out and mingling. Please also ask the military master to make it convenient! ”
"Ah~ Hahaha, of course, of course, it's not easy to go out! Let's go! Let's go! "When the school official's gold is in hand, everything is naturally negotiable. At this time, the world was in chaos, and the soldiers ate food just to eat for a mixed meal. In the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a piece of horseshoe gold was worth no less than a BMW car today. How could the school officer not be overjoyed.
Sun Qian thanked him repeatedly, jumped into the carriage, and the convoy passed the checkpoint smoothly.
"What's going on?" Mi Zhu asked through the curtain.
"Inquire clearly! It is said that since the last Jiangdong Army besieged Hefei, the defenders of Hefei have suffered a great injury. Bandits in the neighborhood are active again. Some time ago, they actually besieged Hefei City. Therefore, Liu Fu ordered to strengthen the vigilance and inspect the past merchants! to prevent the robbers from infiltrating the city. ”
"I see! It seems that the last time the military division feinted to attack Hefei, it dealt a great blow to the military strength of the Cao army's eastern front! But that's fine, the more chaotic Hefei City is, the more convenient it is for us to act! Mi Zhu nodded and smiled after hearing this.
"The person in front is Mr. Jiangdong Xia Chengxia's convoy?" Mi Zhu went north this time under the pseudonym "Xia Cheng".
"Exactly!" Sun Qian knew that the person who had come to the joint had arrived, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.
The person who came was dressed in a plain long shirt, looking like he was in his thirties, with a long beard and a narrow forehead, and some prominent cheekbones. Standing in front of the car, he saluted, "Did my master bring the Wujun crab that he wanted?" ”
"It's the middle of winter, and the crabs are gone! I brought a few sea fish, I don't know if your master likes it? ”
"Sea fish? Long or flattened? ”
"It is neither long nor flat, it is round!"
Hearing Sun Gan's words, the person who came smiled and nodded, stepped forward, and whispered: "The wind is too tight, the joint location has been changed temporarily!" Please come with me! ”
Sun Qian nodded, jumped into the carriage with the comers, and the convoy slowly drove into Hefei City.
