Chapter 253: Choosing the Mountain Path
Yu Yi dared to be so arrogant, naturally he had this confidence, I saw him take out his bronze halberd, and then picked up the halberds placed there one by one.
He held the halberd in the armory shop in his left hand and the bronze halberd in his right hand, and with his internal strength, he used the tip of the bronze halberd to slash the halberd body of the halberd, and then he put the halberd back in its place.
"Haha, you see, he is a liar, the halberd is safe and sound, he loses the bet, so take his head!"
There was a guy in the armory shop who saw that Yu Yi had put the complete halberd in place, thinking that Yu Yi was poor in donkey skills, so he wanted to come up to fulfill the gambling contract.
"Do you want to kill me like this, I'm afraid it's not that easy, don't worry, you look at that halberd."
Yu Yi smiled and made his own suggestion.
The guy thought that he could have saved some face by directly fulfilling the gambling contract, but now he must expose it in person, which is also caused by Yuyi.
The man walked quickly, but his hand began to tremble when he touched it, and then, in full view of everyone, he picked it up, yes, a halberd broken in two.
This time it was the man's turn to be speechless, but he didn't expect that it was he who was slapped in the face, but the shopkeeper relieved him, saying, "Don't be complacent, I have several more behind me." ”
Yuyi nodded, and continued to walk towards the other halberds, this time he no longer held them with his left hand, but leaned them against a corner, and then jumped up violently, gathering the gravity of the whole body and the attack power of internal strength, and slashed at the halberd, all of which cut off the halberd on the spot.
Some onlookers couldn't help but let out a sound of praise, and some even applauded.
I thought that I could end all this smoothly, but when it came to the last yellow iron halberd, Yu Yi didn't work according to the previous method, Yu Yi thought it was cutting the wrong position, so he repeated the previous action again, and there was still no response.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already seen some clues, looked at Yuyi's forehead and kept oozing small beads of sweat, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be too arrogant, I can take a step back from this bet, I won't take your head, you are only allowed to kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, and then call me grandpa, how about giving up at this time." ”
Yu Yi knew that the method of cutting off with a bronze halberd had failed, but he was still a little unwilling, and slowly walked in front of the shopkeeper and looked straight at him.
Seeing this, the guy sneered: "Aren't you very powerful, hurry up and kowtow to our boss to admit your mistakes, maybe he will be soft-hearted and let you go." ”
The corners of Yuyi's mouth curled slightly, and he moved forward with one hand, pushing the guy in front of him away, and said, "That's not necessarily!" ”
Then Yu Yi concentrated his internal strength into his right hand, and then pulled out a knife from his body and shot it in the direction of the halberd body of the yellow iron halberd, of course, he didn't stop, after this action, he jumped into the air again, and another flying knife shot out, falling to the ground, and a flying knife.
The three throwing knives flew out one after another, and they all shot at the place where Yuyi had slashed with the bronze halberd, and finally broke the yellow iron halberd.
Huang Tie's halberd was broken, and Yuyi was naturally the winner, and the surrounding residents naturally admired it when they saw such a scene.
The shopkeeper also changed his previous attitude, he knew that the young man standing in front of him should not be underestimated, if he really tried to stop him, he was afraid that he would be destroyed here.
However, Yu Yi was still not satisfied with his performance, he walked over to the yellow iron halberd that had been cut, squatted down to observe it, then put the knife away, and turned to leave.
At this time, the residents in front of the armory shop all gave way, and there was no contempt in their eyes.
The shopkeeper wanted to catch up and learn about the material of the bronze halberd and knife in the young man's hand, but he was afraid of humiliating him again, so he still left by Yuyi.
When I returned to the inn, I had dinner, during which I found that many people were looking at him, and some people even pointed at him, and Yu Yi knew that this was the effect of the spread of the armory shop.
The people sitting at the table next to Yu Yi were talking about other things, and through their chats, Yu Yi learned that these two people were businessmen, and they came to Huguan to purchase weapons, and now whether it is the imperial army or the gold army, the purchase of weapons is very important, and the businessmen will of course make a fortune.
Their subsequent conversation allowed Yuyi to further understand the situation of the bandits, it turned out that the bandits in this part of Taihang Mountain were zoned, and the bandits in Jiguan were only a small part, belonging to the southern district, and the one in Huguan belonged to the western district, in addition to the northern and eastern districts, the force in the eastern district was the most huge, and the total number of bandits exceeded more than 5,000 people.
Before the Yellow Turban Army did not revolt, Shangdang County sent the imperial court army to the mountain to exterminate several times, but it did not hurt its vitality, and then Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to revolt, and the first battle directly attacked Youzhou, Shangdang County was far from Youzhou, and the imperial court sent all its troops to the front line, and the matter of exterminating the bandits in Taihang Mountain has been shelved since then.
These bandits are also very smart, they use the name of the Yellow Turban Army to rob and kill.
Speaking of the bandits, Yu Yi remembered the tragic death of the innocent old man, and he was angry for a while, he secretly swore in his heart that if he didn't kill this group of harmful bandits, he would not be a man.
However, after all, the scale and number of bandits are not small, and they are distributed all over the Taihang Mountain, and it is obviously not possible to rely on his own strength, so he thought of his base camp, that is, Daoxiang Village, where there is a well-trained Tang Lin army, and the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while.
In order to further determine the location of the mountain road, so as to quickly cross the Taihang Mountain and reach Maocheng, Yuyi took the initiative to go up and talk to the merchants.
During the conversation, it was learned that there are two roads to Maocheng, one is to go east from Huguan, slip down the small river, and can reach the Wei army, which is Handan in the north, and there is a mountain road, you need to continue along Huguan, and at the next fork, you can find it, and the mountain road is Maocheng.
However, the merchant deliberately reminded that although the waterway is much slower, the safety is high enough, and although the mountain road also exists, few people will go to it, because the road is rugged, some places are very narrow, and there will be some fierce beasts, which can easily lose their lives.
Yu Yi bowed down and went away, lying on the bed mountain, he flipped through the "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" obtained in the tomb, and found that the knowledge system in it was very comprehensive, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a miscellaneous family, especially the last few methods of practicing qi, which gave Yu Yi a new understanding.
Should you choose a waterway or a mountain road?
The merchant has analyzed the pros and cons clearly, and most of the time for Zhang Jiao to invade Youzhou has passed, and time is unaffordable, so Yuyi decided to take the mountain road, because it can save a lot of time.
On the second day, Yuyi packed up his things and continued to the north of Huguan, this time walking in a folded line, needing to go around a big mountain, the road was full of weeds and trees, and there was a swamp, and there were a few times accidentally standing in the swamp, but fortunately he reacted quickly and pulled his feet out in time.
The difficulties on the road are more complicated than Yu Yi imagined.
