Volume 1 Chapter 26 The Trap
The sun was shining and the sky was as blue as a wash. Cheng Yi rode on the strong and powerful brown horse, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face. As long as this batch of goods is brought to Puyang City, it can bring back a batch of food for the victims in the town. When he thought of the hopeful eyes of the victims, he felt satisfied.
Three carriages followed Cheng Yi, and the huge wooden wheels made inch-deep marks on the ground. Sacks and sacks, containing heavy stones, made a grinding sound as they jolted.
"Huh?"
Cheng Yi looked up, and the originally bright sunshine didn't know when it would dissipate. The clouds cast large shadows on the ground, like fierce beasts in the void, revealing a huge and incomparably large figure.
The oncoming wind carried a hint of coldness, Cheng Yi pulled the reins, and the brown horse's huge nostrils were misty, and he snorted dissatisfied.
"Why did Mr. Cheng stop?"
The young men who were driving the carriage also stopped, and they looked at Cheng Yi's somewhat stiff figure on the horse with a look of surprise on their faces. Suddenly, as soon as they looked up, their faces turned very pale.
In the distance, shadows emerge from the wind and sand. They were dressed in the roughest robes, fluttering with the wind, and a pair of indifferent eyes cast over them, like the sharpest sword in the world to make it difficult to breathe.
"Run away if you can. ”
As soon as Cheng Yi's words fell, the young people behind him scattered like frightened birds. But when they drove again, they were no faster than the finest desert horses, and they lost their tracks in a terrible scream.
A horse walked slowly, its hair soft and slender, and at the same time bright fiery red, it looked like a sacred and inviolable beast in the wind and sand. It's such a BMW, but obediently lets a person sit on its back.
His jet-black hair was neatly combed in a neat bun on the top of his head, nestled in a delicate white jade crown, from which a pale green silk crown hung from either side of the crown, and a flowing knot was tied at the bottom of his forehead. He also wore a purple robe embroidered with green stripes, and a glossy silk cream white placket on the back. The robe was turned upside down and tucked into the white jade belt around his waist, and white deerskin boots were worn on his feet to facilitate horseback riding.
"Get on your knees. ”
"Not dead. ”
There was an intimidating aura on him, and although he lowered his head and let the broken bangs cover his eyebrows, he couldn't hide a pair of cold eyes.
"Heroes spare their lives!"
Cheng Yi dismounted, knelt down, and felt very uneasy. He couldn't figure out how he could meet these terrifying fanatics. It stands to reason that he is just transporting some ore and not valuable money, which should not arouse the covetousness of these characters. But it happened to happen, and such a coincidence made Cheng Yi feel more and more uneasy.
"Left or right?"
On the flaming horse, his whispering voice made Cheng Yi's back wet. The latter couldn't help but look up, and saw the cold and unruly eyes, the slender and long single phoenix eyes, and the two thin lips pouting with pride under the high bridge of the nose. The most striking thing is the row of tiny rainbow obsidian brow studs on his left brow bone, which shimmer as sharply as his eyes.
"Eyes?"
Noticing Cheng Yi's actions, his eyes were slightly cold, and he slowly pulled out the knife in his hand. Like a thin piece of ice rubbing against sandalwood, it made a soft sound, which could be heard in Cheng Yi's ear like a whisper of death, making his body tremble.
"Slow!"
The knife was drawn three inches away, and he looked disapprovingly at the man holding the hilt of the knife. This man is very special, with bright and deep eyes, and a sense of maturity that does not match his age.
"Break away, don't be impulsive. ”
He shook his head, and although he frowned, he had to press down the hilt of the knife.
"Third uncle, why!"
Lipo's tone was very dissatisfied, and he felt that this third uncle was too cautious. As the most frightening organization in this desert, even if he still looks unchanged in the face of thousands of horses and thousands of troops in Puyang City, will there be any incidents if he hurts an ordinary person?
"Three thousand taels is too easy, it's not easy. ”
The man named Third Uncle shook his head, his gaze fell into the distance, where the wind and sand swept to cover the sky and the sun, it was a rare storm.
"We have already collected the money from Quicksand, and the third uncle still wants to break the rules?"
"Rules?"
The man smiled and said, "Our quicksand has been able to crisscross this desert for more than ten years, not by the rules, but by the ...... here," he said, pointing to his head.
"I don't believe it. ”
Turning his head away, the third uncle is certainly cautious in doing things, but he is too worried. For him, there is no difference between killing an ordinary person and trampling an ant to death.
"No wonder the leader can't rest assured of you. ”
"Don't mention him to me!"
The eyes are dark and deep, and the whole person has an eerie and cold atmosphere. Seeing that he reacted so much, the man who told the third uncle to restrain his smile and arranged for other subordinates to take Cheng Yi down.
"Come on, don't grab it, everyone. ”
At the back door of Liu's mansion, Xiao Ling and several maids enthusiastically delivered food to the beggars who begged for food. The Puyang City area is in war almost every year, and many displaced victims will flock to the city, but there is no suitable work to do, and over time they will become beggars and beg all day long. At the end of the day, they are ordinary people who have lost their ability to survive.
Liu's mansion is very generous every time he delivers food, attracting many beggars in the vicinity. Especially in the recent period, the number of people has risen from just a dozen to more than 20 people. Fortunately, it was just to send some ordinary steamed buns and gruel, otherwise everyone would not be able to withstand such a toss if they were other businessmen.
In the confusion, a beggar took out a small envelope from his bosom and placed it in the maids' steamers. He was very small and fast, and his movements were so fast that it was difficult to notice.
"I'm so tired. ”
When the beggars dispersed, the maids stopped and slowly cleaned up. Xiao Ling was also among them, her white little face was covered with beads of sweat, and she was very careful to pack up the steamer.
"What is this?"
Seeing a letter in the steamer, Xiao Ling took it out curiously. Because the envelope was blank, she couldn't help but open it. After a while, her pretty face changed drastically, ignoring the shouts of her companions, and trotted into Liu's mansion.
Half an hour later, Liu Yang stood up from the Taishi's chair. His face was very calm, but there was like a flame burning in his heart, and the content of the letter was very brief, only writing "Cheng Yi" in two blood-red characters.
Today is the day when Cheng Yi and Zhao Jiu agreed to send the ore, but they didn't want to wait for a long time, but they only waited for such a letter. It seems that we must make a trip to the house, otherwise the ore matter will be in vain.
"Young master, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Jiu appeared outside the door, his complexion was much better, and he recovered most of his injuries after a few days of recuperation.
"Look at this letter. ”
"What!"
Zhao Jiu's eyebrows raised, and his pupils couldn't help but contract.
"It's all the fault of my subordinates!"
He fell to his knees on one knee, uneasy. I thought that I happened to encounter Yu Wenhu on the way back, but I didn't expect to contact Cheng Yi in Dagu Town, but the other party had already discovered it, otherwise it would not have been possible to have today's situation.
"It doesn't matter, you have to find a way to save Cheng Yi. ”
"I'm going to do it. ”
"Nope. ”
Zhao Jiu flashed a touch of melancholy, he looked at Liu Yang and asked in an uncertain tone, "Young Master wants to leave the mansion?"
"Never!"
Before Liu Yang could nod, he resolutely stopped it. Since the other party found out that they had some kind of connection with Cheng Yi, they would naturally try to lure out the people of the Liu Mansion, and maybe they would set a good trap and wait for the Liu Mansion to send someone to throw themselves into the net.
