Seventy-eighth: Meet the bandits again
The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance near from the official road, a group of people, four horses, a carriage, one person on each of the three horses, and a horse pulling the carriage.
Two of the three were dressed in strong suits, with bows and arrows on their horses, and one wearing a white gown.
This group of people is Zhang Tie's family, and the two people wearing strong suits are Zhang Tie and Zhang Sanmad, and as for the white robes, it is naturally Zhang Shun.
However, Zhang Shun's caftan is not an ordinary caftan outfit, and the system is equipped with [Jia Xufu], the front room of the carriage (the small place where the carriage is driven) sits Zhang Xiaohua's mother and daughter, and the cargo box behind the car contains the luggage of Zhang Tie's family.
After Zhang Tie came back, he handed over the money for medicinal materials to Deng Jiaotou, and sold the captured horses to the Deng family, and the money was divided among the dart masters, as for the loss of the horses, it was natural to collect a certain fee from Zhang Tie and others, but Zhang Tie and others still made money.
A few days after returning home, Zhang Tie asked Deng Wei for a leave of absence, preparing to escort Zhang Shun and others to Biancheng County, although Zhang Tie had not been on leave for a long time, but Deng Wei still approved.
Who called Zhang Tie different from the past, not only did his brother become a county parent official, but he himself was also a rare master of the dart game.
decided that Zhang Tie was not destined to be in the pool, so if he could make friends now, he would try his best to make friends, and they knew about the bandits.
Seeing that the sun on the horizon was already halfway up the mountain, Zhang Tie said to Zhang Sanmad: "Dad, in another hour, the sun will set, let's find a place to rest first." ”
Zhang Sanmad first looked at the sky, then at Zhang Xiaohua who was listless in the carriage, and nodded at Zhang Tie, "Okay, let's find a place first, and then get something delicious." ”
The group continued to walk for half an hour, and finally came to a small shed before dark.
Coincidentally, this small shed is where Zhang Tie, Liu Yi and others are sheltering from the rain, and it has been more than a month, and there is still some firewood in it.
He stopped the wagon, tied the horse that pulled it to a post, and began to gather firewood.
Except for the carriage that pulled the cart, which was a war horse captured by Zhang Tie last time, the other horses were all system horses, and they didn't need to be managed, they would all stay where they were, and they would only consume a bag of grain in the inventory every day.
A bag of grain is enough for a strong man to eat for a day, and the price only needs less than one system coin, and forty or fifty can buy fifty grain bags.
After collecting firewood, setting up a pot, washing rice directly for cooking, and as for the wine dishes, it is naturally ready-made air-dried meat, chicken and wine.
The five people who were full of food and drink, except for Zhang Tie's vigil, all lay on the ground and rested, and they all fell asleep after a while.
Late at night, Zhang Tie, who was in a daze, suddenly stood up, pulled out the broken army on his waist, and gently shook Zhang San's crazy calf.
"Daddy! There is a case! ”
With a soft scream, except for Zhang Xiaohua, the other three woke up instantly.
Zhang Sanmad got up and asked first, "What's the situation?" ”
While asking, he didn't forget to pull out a big knife first, which was the broken army that Zhang Tie had used before.
"I don't know, but there are two dozen black dots coming from the road we came."
Zhang Tie was also puzzled, he just saw the existence of black dots on the map, and it was gradually approaching, which woke up Zhang Sanmad and the others.
Zhang Tie's mother also woke up Zhang Xiaohua, who was still sleeping, and took out her weapon, following Zhang San crazy for so long, Zhang Tie's mother also learned some martial arts more or less.
"Qingcheng Sword Technique" has naturally been given to Zhang Sanmad.
Several men extinguished the fire, collected the horses, pulled the carriage down into the woods, and squatted in the woods, quietly observing the direction of the black dots.
Soon, Zhang Tie and the others heard a slight sound of horses' hooves, and then, more than twenty people riding gray horses and holding torches came from a distance, all of them were wearing gray leather armor, long knives hanging from their waists, and bows and arrows were carried on their backs.
The gray horses are very robust, and the eyes of the horses are also bright, and at first glance they are not ordinary horses, but war horses.
In addition to the people sitting on the horses, there are also many cloth bags hanging on both sides, bulging.
Seeing the outfits of these people, Zhang Tie instantly thought of who these people were, bandits.
At this time, the bandits were all very anxious, and they didn't pay much attention to the surroundings at all, and directly drove the war horse past Zhang Tie and the others.
Looking at the bandits in the distance, Zhang Tie's face was suspicious, "The bandits are so late, they are still coming out to act, and looking at the situation just now, they are completely in a hurry, and they are still putting things away immediately, it doesn't look like they are going to rob at all." ”
"Something right away! Don't! ”
A flash of lightning flashed, and Zhang Tie immediately had an opinion in his heart, "This should be transporting the looted materials, and depending on the direction they are heading, it should be going to Beicheng, sure enough, the bandits are not just simple bandits, they are tools to make money for others." ”
When the bandits were completely far away, Zhang Sanmad looked at Zhang Tie, and then at the gray war horse pulling the cart, thoughtfully.
When there were no more black spots on the map, Zhang Sanmad put the frightening wind back into the knife, came to Zhang Tie, and said, "Tie Dan'er, is this the bandit you talked about last time?" Sure enough, it's elite, it's not simple! ”
"Yes, yes."
Zhang Tie looked at Zhang San with a suspicious expression, nodded, and the two looked at each other speechlessly, thinking about something, only the two of them knew it.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Zhang Sanmad and the others had already gotten up and started to make breakfast, while Zhang Tie was resting on the side.
For breakfast, I made air-dried meat porridge, accompanied by a little pickled vegetables, and several people ate it very fragrantly, and Zhang Xiaohua even ate it to support her stomach.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Tie and the others continued to go on the road, but this time on the road, they were much stricter than yesterday, and Zhang Tie would look at the small map from time to time, for fear of meeting the bandits again.
Moving forward cautiously all the way, at noon, Zhang Tie and others came to the capital of Yan again safely ~ Beicheng.
At this time, the northern city was still very lively, the carriages at the gate of the city were coming in and out, and the farmers carrying the burdens shouted the goods they were selling, a peaceful drawing.
After lining up and paying the money, Zhang Tie led the horse to lead the way in front, and the target was the "High School" inn that he had made an appointment with Liu Yi and others.
In Beicheng, you can't ride a horse, only special things, special people can ride horses and walk on the streets of Beicheng.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the "High School" inn, Zhang Tie saw Liu Yi and others sitting in the hall, not only Liu Yi and Zhang Long, but also Luo Long and Luo Fei, as well as several people with their backs to Zhang Tie.
Liu Yi in the house saw Zhang Tie, hurriedly got up, and first said to the shopkeeper who was standing at the top of the stairs: "Little Er, go outside and lead the horse for someone." ”
Then he opened his arms and walked towards Zhang Tie and the others, "Brother Zhang, Master Zhang, I can count you as you, I thought you forgot!" ”
"Brother Liu, Brother Luo, Brother Long, long time no see." Several people greeted each other and hugged each other.
Zhang Tie pointed to Zhang Sanmad and the others and introduced them one by one.
Liu Yi also introduced the other 3 people he brought this time.
Just as Luo Long was about to introduce the people he had brought, Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment when he saw one of them who turned around.
"It's you?!"
