Chapter 175: Hard and Soft

Guan Dadao and a group of brothers are entrenched in Shilizi Mountain, and there are more than 100 people on the mountain, including the old and weak, women and children, but there are only more than 60 brothers who can carry knives and cut people.

Don't see the scale of 100 people, but in this area, which is already the largest bandit den, it's not that Guan Dadao doesn't want to become bigger and stronger, but he just needs money and food if he wants to recruit troops and buy horses!

Although robbing the rich and helping the poor sounds good, in fact, they are all careless about human life, and don't want to live an upright life in this life, so it's not that you are forced to be helpless, you really can't live, who wants to go up the mountain to be a bandit!

Guan Dadao knew that some of his brothers had moved their minds because of the bewitchment of the White Lotus Sect, and wanted to go to Cangzhou to join the rebels.

His brothers are all some five big and three rough reckless men, and a few girls of the White Lotus Sect moved their minds as soon as they said it, but Guan Dadao is not an ordinary person, he has taken the imperial examination before he fell into the grass, and he is a child who has read and read, and knows more than those brothers under him.

Since ancient times, the emperor has been the foundation laid by the uprising, and heroes are born in troubled times, who has the ability to be the emperor, this is not wrong, but Guan Dadao sees more.

Although Cangzhou is in chaos because of the catastrophe, as long as the Qingqi Kingdom has the Protector and the King of Qi, it will not be chaotic, and the refugees in Cangzhou who have revolted will not be able to turn the sky upside down no matter how much trouble they make, and it is simply a dream to overthrow the emperor Lao'er.

So Guan Dadao never took the boastful words of the White Lotus Sect to heart, he didn't have the luxury of hoping to be a king and a feudal territory, he was a small bandit leader, and it would be good to be able to live in peace and live to old age.

He can stabilize his heart, but those brothers under him can't stabilize it, and today's incident shocked Guan Dadao's heart.

"I think you are also a smart person, and I believe you when you say that you are a righteous bandit who robs the rich and helps the poor, because no matter how bad a bandit who can support women and children is, he will not be able to conceive anywhere." Jiang Yuanliu said seriously.

Guan Dadao looked stunned, blurted out and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"The clothes on your body are patched, fine and dense stitches, not perfunctory sewn together, as well as knees and elbows, all carefully sewn with leather, which is resistant to wear and tear and can protect the knee joints, it can be seen that there are women in your bandit den."

And this woman is very good to Guan Dadao and his gang of bandits, her clothes are carefully sewn, and she is definitely not forced to sew indiscriminately, which shows that this gang of bandits does not know that there are women in the mountains, and they treat these women well.

Jiang Yuanliu said a few words in Song Yuanshu's ear, and then pointed out the location of several people with his hand, Song Yuanshu did not hesitate to solve these people with a knife, the sharp knife wiped his neck, blood spurted out, and the warm blood steamed out of white mist in the cold air.

Seeing this, Guan Dadao couldn't help but shudder, he never expected that the thin and weak woman in front of him would be so ruthless.

"You...... What the hell are you going to do! Guan Dadao's voice was trembling.

"I'm just protecting myself, those people just now looked wandering, will your brothers on the mountain change into clean clothes when they come out to rob the house? There are no patches for either one, the shoes are just stained with some dust, you say there is something wrong with it. ”

Hearing Jiang Yuanliu's words, Guan Dadao was completely convinced, he carefully looked at the people who were killed, and then nodded: "It's really not my brother on the mountain, it's the person who mixed in." ”

Jiang Yuanliu smiled faintly, "To tell you the truth, this convoy is in the name of Xuanwu Marquis to go to Cangzhou for disaster relief, and now the emperor has issued an order to praise the righteous deeds, I know that you are forced to be helpless, if you escort the convoy to Cangzhou, I will definitely play the emperor and give you a chance to reform yourself." ”

"To put it mildly, even being a beggar in the capital is better than you falling into the grass on the mountains to do it, if you don't believe it, you can also wait for the convoy to arrive in Cangzhou safely, and each of you can get a reward."

With both soft and hard methods, these bandits were completely convinced, Guan Dadao selected twenty people, and then said to Jiang Yuanliu: "Miss Jiang, I won't tell you, this Shilizi Mountain is a well-known bandit mountain, in addition to us, there are more than ten bandit dens of all sizes, if there are no people left in the mountain, then our wives and children are afraid that they will all be killed." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Yuanliu agreed directly, and glanced at Guan Dadao, this is a talent, the idea in her heart is to leave twenty bandits, although she said that these bandits were poisoned, which scared them, and then used the reward as a carrot. Jiang Yue.

But it is inevitable that some people will be careful, so it is just right to leave twenty bandits, no more, no less, and the dart master can deal with them.

It seems that this Guan Dadao is very likely to have guessed what she was thinking, but it may also be blind, so she has to take a closer look at it next.

After dealing with this, Jiang Yuanliu returned to the carriage and breathed a long sigh.

"Miss, take a sip of tea to suppress the shock." Teng Zhuyue worriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Yuanliu, his eyes were full of admiration for Jiang Yuanliu, in the fight just now, Jiang Yuanliu was like an invincible god of war.

Jiang Yuanliu hurriedly drank a cup of tea, but he picked up the teapot and drank it bitterly, and only after drinking a pot of tea did he recover, "It's really scared to death, Mrs. Xuanwu Hou hurt me!" ”

It is impossible for Mrs. Xuanwu Hou Hou not to know that Shilizi Mountain is a bandit's nest, but she gave her the guards of Xuanwu Hou Hou's Mansion and more than 20 dart masters hired outside, didn't this push her into the fire pit.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Yuanliu felt that something was wrong, and Mrs. Xuanwu Hou had no reason to harm her!

After all, if she died, her father would definitely avenge her, an elderly protector, the only daughter died, and the protector who held the military power went crazy, but no one wanted to see it.

"Tsk, I see." Jiang Yuanliu's eyes were as deep as the sea, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, what he encountered today was probably another temptation, but he didn't know who the person behind the calculation was.

Jiang Yuanliu pinched his chin and thought about it, "I'm afraid that the calculating people are not just one party, the White Lotus Sect has the shadow of the previous dynasty, these noble ladies in the capital have already raised a lot of disaster relief food and medicines, and sent them twice, Cangzhou is all grateful, and it has ruined the good things of the White Lotus Sect." ”

Therefore, the White Lotus Sect colluded with bandits to intercept and kill the convoy, in order to prevent disaster relief food from appearing in Cangzhou, so as to gather more desperate people to rebel against the imperial court.

"Miss Jiang, most of the drivers who drove the car were killed and injured, what should be done?"

Just as Jiang Yuanliu was thinking, Song Yuanshu's clean and clear voice came from outside the carriage, because of Jiang Yuanliu's performance just now, Song Yuanshu had already regarded Jiang Yuanliu as the backbone of the team.

"Let Guan Dadao arrange, find Wu Zhenhai to borrow some clothes for Guan Dadao's subordinates to change into, and let them catch the car." Jiang Yuanliu said lightly.

The reason why she left those bandits was not because of her kindness, nor because of a whim, but because she saw that the coachmen who were driving the car were dead, so she had to make this decision.

"Miss Jiang is smart!" Song Yuanshu's eyes lit up.

Turning his head, Song Yuanshu couldn't help but sigh with his companions, "Miss Jiang is really far-sighted, just now I was dissatisfied with Miss Jiang leaving those troubles, but now it seems that it is really clever, if you let the dart master drive the car, the convoy will have no protection, and it is just right to leave those bandits!" ”

"Miss Jiang, Miss Yangtze River is short, Song Yuanshu, don't be delusional, which Miss Jiang is not what you can think of!" The companion scoffed.

Song Yuanshu's face turned red, and then his eyes darkened, he knew that his identity was humble, even if his father was the chief housekeeper of the Marquis Xuanwu Mansion, but compared to the daughter of the Protector's Mansion, it was really a heaven and an underground.

"You are talking nonsense, I just admire Miss Jiang's strategy!" Song Yuanshu hurriedly retorted loudly, he didn't want to let Jiang Yuanliu be ridiculed because of himself.

Jiang Yuanliu faintly heard the conversation outside the carriage, but she didn't pay attention to it, but took out a map from her arms and looked at it carefully.

"We are here, there must be a lot of bandits hidden in the mountains, and this time the convoy has thirty wagons, and it is a great fortune wherever it is, and the wealth is moving, and the troubles must be continuous."

Jiang Yuanliu lowered her eyes, she felt very guilty about her recklessness, in order to send Zhao Jinhuai out of the capital, she recklessly boarded the convoy, but she didn't know that she fell into the trap of someone with a heart.

She knew that some people doubted herself, but she didn't know that because of her identity as the only daughter of the protector, but also because of her medical skills, and because of her relationship with the eldest princess Zhao Yuluo, this is the source of jealousy.

In the past, she thought that as long as she stayed away from the circle of the powerful, she would be able to avoid me and me, but since Yuan Xiwen's incident, she has completely understood that no matter how far she hides, she will not be able to escape those conspiracies and calculations.

If you want to survive in the quagmire of the capital and live well, you can't shrink into a corner, and you have to fight wits and courage with those people!

Therefore, even if he fell into other people's calculations, Jiang Yuanliu was not discouraged, but cheered up and thought about countermeasures.

"Even if you arrive in Cangzhou, there are many dangers, month by month, the back and personal affairs will be hard for you, if necessary, you leave me alone, and flee immediately." Jiang Yuanliu looked at Teng Zhuyue with a solemn expression.

"Miss Defend to the Death." Teng Zhuyue's eyes burned and refused, her mission was to protect Jiang Yuanliu.

Jiang Yuanliu sighed, "I know you want to protect me, but if you stay in Qingshan, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood, if you encounter danger, you will immediately retreat strategically and find a chance to save me again!" ”

Of course she won't die, she can't do it if she dies selflessly.

It's just that Jiang Yuanliu knows very well that his identity is the source of danger and a talisman to save his life, and the daughter of the living protector is much better than the dead.

Therefore, Jiang Yuanliu expected that he would not be able to die for a while.
