In the early morning of the next day, the snow began to clear. A carriage, escorted by more than a dozen well-behaved bandits, drove in the direction of Pengcheng. Too many people will attract attention, and Chen Sheng decided to let these people enter the city in batches to reduce trouble. After Chen Sheng counted the number of people last night, he found that there were a total of thirty-six people in this group of bandits, the oldest of which was Ji Bu, who was only twenty-three years old this year, and the rest were mostly eighteen to twenty, and a few people were only a little old as Chen Shengtian Peng.

This group of bandits admired Chen Sheng's courage and martial arts skills very much, and after a few drinks, someone asked him how Chen Sheng saw through the ambush of many bandits, and how he easily solved the accomplices who copied the back road, and finally quietly lurked beside Ji Bu, subduing everyone in one fell swoop.

Chen Sheng smiled indifferently. He turned out to be a military doctor with the special forces, and this kind of ability to camouflage and stealth attacks has been more or less learned, and it is too simple to deal with these guys with the technology that is thousands of years later. It only took Chen Sheng less than ten minutes to knock out the guy hiding in the rear, and also arrested a guy and interrogated him, learned about Ji Bu's hiding place, and then touched the back of the bandits. happened to see Ji Bu commanding the fifth child, so he knew that this person was the leader of the bandits, and immediately approached quickly to subdue Ji Bu.

Chen Sheng explained the matter clearly in just a few words. But Ji Bu and the others were amazed, and it was impossible for any of them to accomplish such a thing. After listening to Chen Sheng's words, Chen Sheng's admiration increased a little more.

……

Pengcheng, also known as Zhuolu, has a more resounding ancient name called Xuzhou. When Xia Yu ruled the water, the territory of the country was divided into Kyushu, and Xuzhou was one of the Kyushu. At that time, "Xuzhou" was only the name of a natural economic region, and there was no specific subdivision of political territory. Although Pengcheng is not the seat of Surabaya County, it is located in the main place of transportation, the East China Sea in the east, the Central Plains in the west, the Jianghuai in the south, and Qilu in the north. It has always been a place where businesses gather and soldiers must fight.

The road was calm, and at noon, Peng Cheng appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Ji Bu, who was driving the carriage, turned around and shouted into the carriage: "Master, young master, Pengcheng has arrived." "Now that Ji Bu is good, he calls Wei Yi the master, and Chen Sheng and Tian Peng as the young master. Although it was a little nondescript, the three of them didn't care about it, Chen Sheng and Tian Peng were also very polite to Ji Bu, and called Ji Brother Ji when they opened their mouths, which flattered Ji Bu and didn't even dare to say it. After saying this, Ji Bu shouted to all the brothers who came down from the mountain: "Brothers, when Pengcheng arrives, cheer me up, don't be as depressed as before, afraid that others will not know that you are bandits?" Ji Bu scolded, but there was a hint of a smile in his tone.

Chen Sheng poked his head out, looked at the outline of the city in the distance, nodded, and then looked at the ragged bandits around the carriage, and frowned. The life of these bandits is also a little too cold, and in this cold and snowy place, there are still people wearing tattered summer clothes and straw sandals in their feet, and they are shivering with cold.

Chen Sheng immediately took out a money bag and handed it to Ji Bu and said, "Brother Ji, you ride into the city first, buy some clothes for the brothers, don't save money, try to make the brothers dress warmly and decently." Besides, this dress may attract the attention of the government. ”

Ji Bu thought so. My brother doesn't have to look like a homeless bandit, let alone entering the city, if he is discovered by the officers and soldiers from afar, I am afraid that some soldiers will chase after him. You're welcome, grabbed the heavy money bag, thanked Chen Sheng, parked the carriage next to a pavilion on the side of the road, then unloaded a horse, put on the saddle, and galloped quickly towards Pengcheng's place.

And the rest of the thieves didn't wait for Chen Sheng's orders, so they picked up some dry firewood from the surroundings, found an open space around the pavilion, and lit a fire to keep warm. Chen Sheng saw that the car was sluggish, so he also got out of the car with the teacher, walked to the center of the crowd and sat down, chatted and laughed with everyone, and motioned to Tian Peng to take out pieces of meat and dry food from the car and distribute them to everyone.

It was difficult for the thieves to adapt to the change of identity from the thieves to the family for a while, but fortunately, they saw that the old man and the young master were not angry, and they talked and laughed with them, without the slightest arrogance, and their hearts were much more comfortable. And gradually the people began to talk more. Chen Sheng also carefully asked these subordinates where they were in their hometown and what they did for a living before they became bandits. Naturally, the answers are varied. Among this group of subordinates, in addition to the more remote Yan country, there were originally Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Qi people. It was all because of the war that the family was displaced, and eventually there were so many people left, and finally because of Jibu, they became accomplices.

"Tuk Tuk ......" The sound of galloping horses came from the official road in the distance, and when you heard the sound, you knew that there were at least more than 20 horses. Chen Sheng stood up and looked at it, and saw a group of horses under the command of a knight with superb knights, heading in the direction of Pengcheng. Behind the herd of horses, dozens of double-wheeled carriages, which seemed to be loaded with goods, followed the knights and slowly advanced.

As the knights got closer and closer, Chen Sheng noticed that they were uniformly dressed and wore weapons. After discovering the traces of Chen Sheng and the others, these knights immediately reined in their horses and sounded the sound of an alarm.

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and thought, "What's the matter, you still treat us as bandits?" But when his group of men were still bandits yesterday, he was relieved.

The good bandits, seeing these dozens of big cars, showed a trace of fanaticism and excitement in their eyes, obviously after being used to being bandits, it is not an overnight thing for these bandits to change. Chen Sheng hurriedly coughed a few times to remind these guys, you are not thieves now, this little thought is still dead. Besides, this caravan is so well equipped that you little thieves who have pawned even the eaters can afford to provoke it?

After a while, Chen Sheng found that the convoy in the distance had stopped, but the cavalry escort turned back murderously and came towards everyone.

Chen Sheng didn't pay attention to it, knowing that the guards of the caravan were cautious and regarded themselves as bandits blocking the road and robbing them. I don't want to think about it, this place is only a few miles away from Pengcheng, where is there such a bold bandit? As long as there is a warning, the officers and soldiers will appear in an instant, and they really don't want to die?

Moments later, nearly twenty knights appeared near the pavilion, and when they saw three richly dressed men and two young men sitting in a group of ragged people, they couldn't figure out what was going on. When everyone saw these knights coming murderously, they also stood up one after another, guarding Chen Sheng and the three of them in the center.
