Chapter 1030: The Road Encounters an Ambush
The day of the Suizhou Lion Dance Conference is approaching, Shi Jintao and his apprentices also brought all their things and set off on the road!
When Shi Jintao took his apprentices to participate in the lion dance conference last year, because Shi Jintao's only son Shi Chengdong was poisoned on the road, his morale was greatly affected. Although in the final game, even Shi Jintao personally went into battle, but still did not achieve the expected results.
Shi Jintao listened to Long Xingche's advice this time, made all preparations, and cooked by himself on the road, and never went out to buy food. When I was sleeping and resting, I also let a few people take turns paying attention to the movements around them.
In order to be on the safe side, Long Xing Chejue decided to take people with Fu Wenjing to follow Shi Jintao and them and protect them secretly. He wanted to see if the people who hurt Shi Jintao when he went to participate in the lion dance competition every year would make a move this year!
After agreeing to Fu Wenjing's funding of the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe, Long Xingche also sent someone to investigate the lion dance industry.
In fact, the situation that Shi Jintao encountered when he went to participate in the lion dance competition was just one example of the lion dance troupe of the entire Chen Kingdom participating in the lion king competition. Those "caring people" who destroy the morale of other lion dance troupes, and then make it impossible for them to achieve good results in the competition and win the lion king, are nothing more than money!
Because, if you win the competition in the lion dance conference, it is not only an affirmation of the lion dance skills, but also 10,000 taels of silver can be obtained!
As the old saying goes, "people die for money, birds die for food", and there are "people have left their names, and geese have left their voices". If you can win the title of the lion king of the lion dance conference, then the value of this lion dance troupe will also rise, and when you are invited by others to perform, you will get a more generous reward!
Therefore, winning the lion king competition is a matter of fame and fortune for those lion dance troupes who come to participate!
At noon, Shi Jintao and his apprentices had already walked nearly half the way since they set off at noon yesterday. When they were a little tired, they sat down in the woods to rest, set up the pot and began to cook.
Weizhou and Suizhou are adjacent states, where Shi Jintao and others live, close to Suizhou, if you ride a fast horse, you can run back and forth a day. However, the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe has to pull the props that they need to use when participating in the lion dance conference, so if they can't go fast, they will need to travel for more than a day.
Shi Jintao had carefully calculated the time, and when it was almost dark, they would be able to reach Suizhou City.
Long Xingche saw the curling smoke and the fragrance wafting from not far away, and took a bite of the jerky angrily: "They are setting up pots one by one and cooking, but we are not only responsible for protecting them, but we can only watch!" ”
Fu Wenjing looked at Long Xingche looking at the smoke rising in the distance, and was in a very unhappy mood, so she persuaded: "Your Majesty, although you are a human being, you also have to suffer hardships!" Don't you find this experience interesting? ”
"Why do you find it interesting? Do you know who I am? Now it's reduced to following someone else! After another mouthful of dried meat, Long Xingche took the kettle given to him by Fu Wenjing and drank it!
"Attention, everyone, there's someone next to you!"
Long Xingche was drinking water. But suddenly I heard a sharp whistle coming from Shi Jintao's team, and the people of the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe reminded everyone to pay attention to the danger!
Long Xingche stood up and came to the high place, and saw a group of black-clothed people in the woods surrounding the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe: "Although I have sent the government to issue a notice, it is not allowed to destroy the lion dance conference casually. But it seems that those people are still committing crimes against the wind, you go down and help them! ”
"Yes!"
Xia Zhiyu led the plainclothes guards to fly down from the high place where they were, and fought against the men in black with the Flying Lion Dance Troupe.
The gang of men in black, when they attacked the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe, they didn't expect them to have foreign aid, so they were caught off guard by Xia Zhiyu and others who came to help. And their kung fu is not as good as Xia Zhiyu!
The purpose of the man in black is just to frustrate the spirit of the flying lion dance troupe, of course, if he can hurt a few people, it will be even better!
As a result, the actual situation today completely disrupted the thoughts of the man in black. Although they resisted hard, they were still injured by Xia Zhiyu and the plainclothes guards because of the great disparity in kung fu!
"Let's go!"
Among the men in black, a man's voice sounded, and after he gave the order, the men in black each covered their injured positions and quickly ran out of the woods.
"Poor Kou Mo Chase!"
Long Xingche saw that Xia Zhiyu was about to lead someone to catch up again, so he stood on a high place to stop it.
After the man in black left, Shi Jintao hurriedly led his apprentices to Xia Zhiyu's side and arched his hand: "Thank you for your help, your master and servant have helped you many times, I really don't know how to repay it!" ”
Xia Zhiyu hurriedly replied: "Master Shi, you are polite!" ”
At this time, Shi Jintao saw Long Xingche coming down the slope, and hurriedly bowed: "Young Master Long!" We're bothering you again this time. ”
"Master!"
Xia Zhiyu and the other plainclothes guards stood behind Long Xingche very well.
"Master Shi, you are too polite, we also want to go to Suizhou to watch the lion dance competition, but we just helped a little along the way!" Fu Wenjing also walked over with Jiayi in her arms.
Shi Jintao looked at Princess Jiayi's well-behaved and cute appearance, and said guiltily: "You still have such a young child, but you still have to protect us, I am really very moved!" ”
Long Xingche looked at Shi Jintao's apprentices and was very relieved: "If you say too many polite words, it will seem rusty." Now that we have met together, how about we walk together for the next journey? ”
Shi Jintao looked at the carriage of their flying lion dance troupe pulling a few lion dancers, and said very apologetically: "We are dragging so many things and walking slowly, as long as the son doesn't feel annoyed!" ”
"Where! Where! We also have a lot of people, each other! I still have a baby! Long Xingche hugged Princess Jiayi from Fu Wenjing's arms and smiled.
Because the lion dance troupe was ambushed just now while they were eating, Shi Jintao and the others ate their lunch quickly, and after cleaning up, they rushed to Suizhou with Long Xingche and others.
Maybe it was because Long Xingche asked Xia Zhiyu and others to save the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe, which shocked those who wanted to be unfavorable to the Feiteng Lion Dance Troupe, so the next journey has been smooth, and I haven't even seen a single extra bird!
In front of Suizhou Fuyuan Qianzhuang
Long Xingche suggested that Shi Jintao, who had just entered Suizhou City with them: "Master Shi, next to this money village is the Yuelai Inn, why don't you live here." There are three more days to go until the lion dance competition, and you can live next to us with your apprentices, and if something happens, you can take care of it somewhat! ”
Shi Jintao said a little embarrassed: "It doesn't matter where we live? Just worried that something will trouble you! ”
