Chapter 57: Garbage
Green grass and blue sky, green trees and shade
On a country road, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The coachman was still the same as before, but his expression was different now than when he came.
The lean man lost the comfort he had at the beginning, and squatted cautiously on the wheel, with a frightened look on his face, and glanced at it from time to time, as if a tiger was lying on his stomach, so frightened that his muscles were tense all over his body, and he did not dare to move.
Ye Jinyan still looked at ease, pulled out a grass root out of nowhere, held it in his mouth casually, and lay in front of the carriage door while leaning on the scenery outside.
"I ask you, you answer, if there is any inaccuracy, I will send you to feed the dog."
The tone was slightly deeper
"Depressed and fed the dogs."
These words frightened the horseman's whole body, and his mind involuntarily appeared in the miserable situation of his brothers just now, goosebumps rose, his stomach seemed to start churning again, and he sat on the wheel, and a man in his twenties was about to burst into tears.
"I said, as long as you don't kill me... I said it all. ”
Ye Jinyan looked at the trembling appearance of this groom, it should indeed not be pretended, this time I will believe him.
The eyebrows are slightly closed.
"Let's talk about it, tell me first how you knew we were going to find the people of Yingzhou?"
The groom was visibly frightened, and his mouth was so hiccuped that he almost bit his tongue off, and his body was still shaking like chaff.
However, when he heard the words of this cruel Taoist who was like a demon, he didn't dare to delay, and he forced his teeth to fight and said one by one.
"Actually... In the beginning.. I'm not sure if you're going to trouble the people of Yingzhou. ”
Peeked at the Taoist, and saw that he didn't react before the groom continued.
"It's just that there are very few people who go to Hujian Xiling in these years, I have only seen some officers and soldiers in red clothes in the past few days, and it is said that many people have died inside, and this matter has made a lot of trouble in Yangzhou City two days ago, and even I have just come for less than a month to know, and it is very powerful."
The horseman's breath had become more and more even, and the speed of his speech had gradually increased
"So I think you want to go to the Tiger Sword West Ridge to investigate the matter of those red-clothed sergeants."
"Coincidentally..."
The groom looked around cautiously
"I know how they died!"
"It was killed by the group of Yingzhou people who were coiled in Hujian Ridge, I saw it with my own eyes, yes!"
The groom's eyes widened, his fists clenched as if he couldn't forget anything, and even his pitch was raised, but as if he suddenly remembered that there was a killing god sitting beside him, he suddenly lowered his voice again.
Ye Jinyan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see something in the eyes of the little groom, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Oh? Have you seen it? How did you escape from them? ”
Ye Jinyan's tone seemed to be slightly surprised, and it seemed a little incredible.
The groom looked solemn
"I'm peeking!"
"That day, I just arrived in Yangzhou, and I scraped together some money with my eldest brother, so I wanted to buy a carriage... Do some things that are a little inauthentic, but we don't have any bad intentions, and we've never killed anyone, but if you want to run a carriage, you have to know the way first, so my eldest brother sent me out. ”
The horseman's tone was full of promises, but his honest face was stunned to make a thief's eyebrows, which was really not reassuring.
But the groom himself didn't seem to realize this at all, and kept talking
"On that day, I saw that there were dozens of Yingzhou people!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand
"It's probably so tall, the legs are still a little short, a handful of small black hair, holding such an old knife, it looks vicious, those red-clothed sergeants were directly stabbed in two by them, oops, the one who died miserably!"
Xu is this groom didn't know what to say about some units of measurement, but I saw him compare his chest for a while, and then open his hands widely, not to mention the exaggeration on his mouth, which made people stunned.
And Ye Jinyan just leaned on the door of the carriage and quietly watched the performance of the groom, with a bored look on his face.
"In other words, you think that we are here to trouble those Yingzhou people because you saw those Yingzhou people kill the red-clothed sergeants in Hujian Xiling, and you think that we are here to investigate the incident about the death of the red-clothed sergeant?"
Ye Jin's tone was indifferent, and his face didn't believe him at all, just stared at him so straight that he had to lower his head deeply.
'Plop'
The groom suddenly fell to his knees
"Uncle! Just give me a way out! I really just guessed! Our brothers and their entourage were only killed by those bandits in the Twelve Serial Docks, and they had no choice but to come to this Yangzhou realm to rob and survive! I've never killed a single person! ”
"Uncle! For my sake, let me live while I have a large family to take care of! Otherwise, all of them, old and young, women and children, will starve to death on the side of the road! Please! ”
The carriage continued to run forward, and the old horse himself remembered this common path, and could travel even without a groom.
Ye Jinyan, who was leaning on the car door, narrowed his eyes slightly, even though the groom was in tears, he still didn't let go of the other party.
This guy's excuse is full of loopholes, but if it is really just an ordinary excuse, he can still let him live, but there are too many things in this statement that he shouldn't know.
This made Ye Jinyan very confused.
Is this groom really just a little bandit who came out of a small fishing village and accidentally encountered some incidents, and finally ended up with no way out, or is he a peerless actor who still refuses to let go for some reason at the last moment?
There was a slight indifference in his eyes
The groom was sweating like a ripe prawn and lying on the small wheel, the wooden wheel crunched uncomfortably by the gravity, and the old horse continued to run along the old road.
"Heh..."
Ye Jinyan suddenly chuckled, and his body lay down lazily again.
The coachman who knelt on the wheel also fell on the edge of the wheel as if he had escaped the catastrophe, panting heavily, and the two pieces of fabric on his lean body were almost completely cooked with sweat, and there was a slight strange smell.
Su Yuanjiu, who couldn't stand the bumps in the carriage and had been sleeping in the carriage, seemed to wake up, and saw Ye Jinyan, who was half lying in the carriage with his head resting on the side of her stomach, didn't say much, but shrank back to him.
Dao Nian let go completely, Ye Jinyan glanced at Su Yuanjiu, who was still a little confused, and suddenly tapped a few times on her stomach, watching her squirm and laugh.
Looking back at the groom who was unable to lie on the wheels, the corners of his mouth picked disdainfully.
"This is you, pretending to be the confidence you have until now?"
Hujian Ridge has arrived.
The path was almost entirely surrounded by two huge ridges, the lush hills flashed black shadows, and in a few moments the carriage stopped.
Around the carriage, surrounded by a group of people.
These men were slightly shorter than the southerners, with their legs bent outward, their feet on slightly wide clogs, and their bodies wrapped in a layer of cloth wrapped in pieces of armor made of bamboo and wood, the only thing that was a little striking was their knives.
At first glance, this kind of knife is no different from the horizontal knife instrument knife of the Tang Army, but if you take a closer look, you will find that the bending amplitude of this long knife is very large, so big that ordinary long knives will even break at once, but these knives are still strong.
Moreover, the blade of this long knife is extremely sharp, and just a slight unsheath makes people feel a cold flash.
Of the thirty-seven men who surrounded the carriage, only twelve were armed with such long knives, and most of the others had a blade fixed to the front of the stick, and had no armor on them, but only surrounded them with a bloody force.
The samurai at the head took off the armor from his head, revealing his shaved forehead.
Ye Jinyan squinted slightly.
The unique moon hairstyle of the Yingzhou samurai.
Look at the small potholes on the scalp, which are the result of the Japanese samurai pulling out the hair on the top of the head one by one.
You shouldn't be wrong.
The groom who had been lying on the wheels just now burst out with a speed that was completely inconsistent with the realm of condensation, and jumped off the wheels with a 'whoosh', and quickly jumped to the side of the samurai with a flattering expression.
Ye Jinyan didn't arrest him, but repeated it again.
"They, that's the confidence you pretend to be now?"
Scanning the surrounding Yingzhou people with disdain, Ye Jinyan felt that he was really worried.
The turtles from a small fishing village really can't correctly measure the difference between themselves and them.
I thought it was another big battle, and it scared me to death. ’
With a wave of his hand, the connection between the old horse and the carriage was directly disconnected, and the carriage stopped in place, motionless.
Those Yingzhou people seemed to be a little familiar when they saw this white cloth, but the guy who could be lured by that guy couldn't be a master, so they laughed wantonly, and their voices were a little noisy.
Ye Jinyan didn't care about those Yingzhou people, just looked at the horseman.
"I can feel the smell of blood on you before I get in the car."
The disdain in Ye Jinyan's eyes became more and more intense
"It is not a smell, but a fleshy aura that comes from human life, the last thing a person gives off before he dies."
"This aura on your body is very strong, so thick that it is almost half of mine..."
The horseman didn't plan to explain more, just hid behind the Yingzhou people and listened
"But my cultivation is high, and if I accidentally put an aura or something, I will crush a lot of flowers and plants, and you only have condensation, so think about it, you should have done a lot of things to slaughter villages and exterminate the clan, right?"
"As for your brothers, they are all like this, there is a yang essence that is about to be drained by the outside world, and I want to be strong. This kind of thing should be done. ”
"And you are obviously not a day or two for these Yingzhou people to do things, look at the old horse who is familiar with the road, you can see it, without you as a groom, he also knows where to go, I think it should be you bandits are notorious and inconvenient to go out and find such a backer as Yingzhou people, so in the process of robbing and doing things, you will rob yourself when you encounter the soft ones, and if you encounter the hard ones, you will hand them over to these Yingzhou people, little by little, use the notoriety of these Yingzhou people to cover up your notoriety, so that you can wash your hands and live in a few years......"
As he spoke, his tone had sunk to the bottom
The eyebrows are slanted
"That's right."
With sharpness in the eyes
"Garbage." (To be continued.) )
