Chapter 21 Encountering Bandits
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the way of the dart master is divided into four major professions.
A pigeon explorer, specializing in finding and collecting information on the dart road, and formulating the route of the dart car.
The second is the speaker, who is responsible for the contact with the dart team, dealing with people from all over the world, contacting friends from all over the world, and persuading the bandits to give way.
The three are called the Taibao, guarding the dart car and carrying all kinds of light and dark darts, and those who are not strong in martial arts cannot serve.
Fourth, he is a shadow, dressed up as an ordinary person, secretly protects the dart team, and comes out to save the scene when there is a situation, and usually hides as deep as possible.
Among them, the shadows do the most tiring work and get the least wages...... It can be understood that the substitute off the field will only be on when needed, and the treatment with the main players must not be equal.
Ma Xingkong is really not an honest person, as soon as he hit the road, he revealed the essence of the philistine, he wanted Yu Liang to be a shadow, and made it clear that when the dart was successfully divided, he would take the lion's share.
"Yu Gongzi, after the old man finished making this dart, he prepared the golden basin to wash his hands and dry it, put the dart game out, and took his daughter back to the countryside to live for the rest of his life."
Ma Xingkong saw Yu Liang's strange expression, and explained, "Originally, if Yu Gongzi wanted to be the head of the dart, I was ready to retreat behind the scenes and let you take over the dart game, but Yu Gongzi you don't want to, the old man has no choice, his daughter Chunhua is not in the dart game, and the apprentice Zheng'er is not angry, alas, ......"
This is sincere, it is by no means a fake, Yu Liang frowned, he is the most unaccustomed to playing the emotional card with others, not to mention, the two sides only met a few days ago, and they have no friendship.
"This secret, I do it, as for how to distribute the reward after the dart is successful...... I'll talk about that later. ”
Yu Liang replied vaguely, now is definitely not the time to talk about it, Ma Xingkong saw that he did not object explicitly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said no more.
This time, all the staff of the entire Pegasus Dart Bureau were dispatched, even counting the cooking guys, a total of more than ten people, four dart cars were installed, and the group was dressed as a businessman, especially Ma Chunhua, who was forced to paint an ugly makeup, and instantly became forty years old.
The team went out day and night according to the plan, two days down, and it was really safe, I have to say, this horse and empty dart master industry for decades, although not well-known, but the professional ability is still enough, not to mention the robbery of darts along the way, even the people in the rivers and lakes are rare, but I think this route must be a thousand choices.
For Yu Liang, this kind of old driver is undoubtedly a very good teacher, and he learns from Ma Xingkong every time the dart car rests, adding a lot of experience in dart-walking.
After another day, they had reached the outskirts of Wuding County, and the nerves that had been tense began to relax...... Wuding is an important place, and Daming has stationed heavy troops here, and I believe that there are few thieves who are not eye-opening to cause trouble at such a close distance.
Seeing that it was about to be completed, the horse was anxious in the hollow, and did not want the team to go out day and night, and went directly to the road in broad daylight, and the dart car team was speeding on the official road, attracting passers-by to wait and see.
However, the sky is not beautiful, and after ten miles of rapid travel, I saw that the outline of the city wall of Wuding County was already far away, but the sky suddenly darkened, and raindrops the size of soybeans poured down.
“…… Find a place to shelter from the rain. Ma Xingkong was extremely annoyed, almost scolded, and wanted to force his way away, but the silk that was used as a camouflage on the surface of the dart car was also worth a few dollars, and it was a pity that he couldn't sell it at a price when he got wet.
Everyone hurriedly pushed the dart cart to find a place, but fortunately there was an abandoned ruined temple not far from the roadside, and they hurriedly rushed in.
As a shadow, of course, it was impossible for Yu Liang to take shelter from the rain with them, so he deliberately took a few steps behind and found a big tree where he stood dryly...... Well, being struck by lightning is a god's work.
The heavy rain poured for an hour, not weakening at all, Yu Liang was already soaked all over his body, looking around, there was no half a figure on the entire official road, and it was not interesting to hide it, and when he was about to go to the broken temple to meet, he suddenly saw a few figures in the distance.
Yu Liang immediately raised his vigilance, such a heavy rain is still on the way, unless his brain is flooded, he is silent at the moment, his body jumps, and he goes up to the branch, using the dense branches and leaves as a cover, carefully observing the movement.
After a while, those people sneakily approached, all wearing hats and coarse linen clothes, just like the farmers doing farm work nearby, but under Yu Liang's careful observation, he found that they were wearing thin-soled fast boots on their feet, and their faces suddenly sank.
These people are definitely not ordinary peasant families...... On such a muddy loess road, it is a mud pit when you go down, and the croppers feel sorry for their shoes, and most of them have to go barefoot.
What are they doing?
Seeing a few people walking and stopping, as if observing the road, Yu Liang was puzzled for a while, and suddenly was stunned and reacted.
It's the wheel prints, and they're looking at the wheel prints left by the dart cart in the past!
Every good bandit is a master of tracking, with a nose more intelligent than a dog, and can almost smell silver...... The heavier the cart, the more real money it contains.
Yu Liang frowned slightly, his heart was sparse, and using silk as a cover could not cover up the weight of the dart car, especially on this rainy day, the soil was soft, and he could tell the truth at a glance.
Those people walked all the way to the outside of the broken temple, and after confirming the whereabouts of the dart car, they retreated, Yu Liang pondered whether to solve these people with the past, hesitated again and again, and did not make a move...... He doesn't have three heads and six arms, if these buddies flee separately, can they take care of it?
After the others ran away, Yu Liang immediately jumped down from the tree and went straight to the broken temple.
Because inside, there are strangers.
The men of the dart board sat in a circle by the window near the threshold, and the dart cart was tightly guarded, while in the inner hall, there were several local farmers sheltering from the rain, and a lone young man, leaning under the Buddha statue, with a full beard, unkempt hair, and a burly figure, looking unusually strong.
Well, this man goes to play a bandit, and he doesn't need to paint makeup...... Ma Xingkong's attention was basically focused on this person, and his expression was extremely guarded.
"I'm tired of borrowing light, it's raining, I'm in a hurry." , Yu Liang is dressed as a merchant, disguising the Tianji stick as a flat pole, and his trousers are full of mud, without the slightest flaw.
"Sit down, meet as guests, come and roast the fire." Ma Xingkong's expression was grim, and he let go of half of his body, but Yu Liang didn't sit next to him, he smiled and sat down beside those local farmers, and said happily, "You croppers are also quite hard, so heavy rain is still outside to clean up the wheat that fell on the ground, and even the official road is so muddy, it's very hard." ”
How could these farmers be so familiar with him, they all responded perfunctorily, Ma Xingkong drank water absentmindedly, the bowl in his hand suddenly paused out of thin air, and suddenly got up and said, "Pack up your things and go to Wuding County immediately." ”
His expression was grim, and his face had never been so terrifying!
