Chapter 34: The Way
The man's voice was unusually hoarse, like a blunt object grinding on a stone.
Wu Dart Tou hurriedly put the knife back into the sheath and saluted: "Yes, it is this Bai family." ”
"Third brother, how could the Bai family take such a path? Lie to us! The beard changed his arrogance just now, honestly put away the knife, and jumped off the horse.
The man who was called the third brother didn't look at his beard, and his eyes still stopped on the carriage: "Dare to ask which young lady of the Bai family is in the carriage?" ”
Qiu Yue nervously grabbed Bai Qiao's sleeve.
Bai Qiao raised his hand and clasped Qiu Yue's hand, making Qiu Yue calm down a lot, Qiu Yue bit her lip and plucked up the courage to reply: "My young lady is the eldest girl of the Bai family. ”
The man was silent, but took a few steps out of the way: "Let the big guy get out of the way and let go." ”
Such a pleasure, Wu Dart Tou never thought of it. He himself still suspected the purpose of this mountain bandit leader, and was ready to draw his knife at any time, but at this time, when he saw him, he let him go, and hurriedly bowed his hand, and then feared to change his mind, and urged the horse to start again.
The beard was stunned for a moment, and he reached out to stop the car, with an anxious face: "Third brother!" I don't know if it's true or not! They say that the lady of the General's Mansion is the Miss of the General's Mansion? I also said I was ......"
"Fourth!"
"Third brother! All right! Even if it's a young lady from the General's Mansion, we still have to eat, we don't stop people, can we leave some silver? What a meat! ”
The third brother shook his head, extremely firm.
The bearded man continued unwillingly: "We have eaten all the things from the sea, and the big guys want to eat meat." ”
"What are our rules?"
The bearded man said honestly: "Only rob money and not life." ”
The third brother glanced at his beard, took a few steps back, and got out of the way.
The beard scratched his head, and reluctantly withdrew the hand that was stopping: "Let's go!" Damn! Don't hurry up and go! Let Lao Tzu see it next time, Lao Tzu will rob you of the basin and clean it! "It's not easy to rob someone, it's still a general's mansion! It's a, just let it go!
With the permission of the third brother, Wu Dart didn't dare to slow down at all, and left with the carriage.
For this kind of release, it is not like being afraid of the power of the Bai family, but more like someone who knows the Bai family. Did the Bai family even know the mountain bandits? No, they said they were coming from the sea, and these people were not mountain bandits, they were pirates. The pirates actually ran to the hinterland of Dachu? Bai Qiao was suspicious, raised his hand and lifted the corner of the door curtain to look out.
Under the light of the torches, the man was blind in one eye and covered with a black cloth, leaving only one eye outside. The figure is thin and tall, the face is cold, and the eyes are also overlooked.
Oh, it looks like this.
The man didn't expect the curtain to be lifted, but he also looked over, and when he saw the people in the carriage looking out, his eyes deepened a little.
Bai Qiao lowered the curtain at random.
The man turned his head and said something to the beard.
The beard is extremely unwilling, but it should still be lowered.
The bandits behind him extinguished their torches and disappeared into the night as they had come.
With the appearance of these mountain bandits, Wu Darttou did not dare to slow down at all, and rushed all the way to the low mountains.
"Miss, it's a small town ahead, let's find an inn to rest for the night."
Bai Qiao said: "Okay. ”
It is said that there is only one street in the town, and the old inns on the street are still lit. The coachman stopped the carriage, Bishui took the lead in getting out, the carriage shook dizzy and nauseous, Bishui found a place to retch, and retched for a long time. Xia Shuang's little face was still pale, but she didn't dare to forget the rules and helped Bai Qiao out of the car.
Over there, Wu Darttou had already entered the inn and booked a room.
"Miss rest for the night, let's go tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Bai Qiao didn't ask much, and went upstairs into the house. Qiu Yue asked for some water and wiped her hands and face. After everything was cleaned up, he patted his chest: "Miss, there are really mountain bandits!" It's scary! ”
"It's not a bandit, it's a pirate." Bai Qiao corrected.
It's just that the mountain bandits are okay to say, at least they are only entrenched in one side, and the imperial court can send troops to exterminate them. Pirates are different, thousands of miles at sea, even if the imperial court sends troops, they may not be able to find them. Moreover, there are many cargo ships on the sea, and you can get 10,000 gold by intercepting one, which is much richer than mountain bandits. Give up that advantageous condition and come here for what?
"Pirates? How does Miss know it's a pirate? Xia Shuang was also startled and exclaimed.
"He said he came at sea."
"What are the pirates doing here!"
"I don't know." Bai Qiao shook his head.
Bi Shui thought less, and when he heard this, he was scared, and the others didn't have any effect, but Xia Shuang thought more, knowing that it was not simple.
The bed in the inn is not small, it was a bunk before, and the four of them were tired all day, so they fell asleep quickly.
Wu Darttou didn't book a room, they were used to sleeping in the open all year round, even if the inn in the town was cheap, it always cost a fee, so they simply rested in the shed in the corner of the inn's courtyard for a night.
Wu Darttou squinted, and his heart was very uneasy. In recent years, Dachu has devoted himself to conquering the frontier, and troops have been transferred to the frontier, and there is a shortage of troops in the interior of Dachu. I didn't think Guotai Min'an was concerned before, but now I don't even know that the pirates have entered the hinterland.
"Brother Wu, is our Da Chu so messy?" A group of people were sitting around talking about the day. They are all people who walk the rivers and lakes, and they are quite sensitive to this matter.
"Mountain bandits are rampant, and pirates have entered our place! The imperial court only knows about conscription! ”
"Isn't the imperial court a bandit? Do you say the court knows? ”
It's hard to say. Who knows if the court knows it!
"Why don't we go to Gangneung Mansion and tell the state government that they can send troops to suppress these pirates! It's not a good thing for these pirates to come in! ”
Wu Dart shook his head: "Do you think they look like we are going to dart for a long time?" ”
"You're saying the pirate came all the way to it with a purpose! Then what are you doing in Gangneung Province! Xiao Gao was startled.
"It's hard to say. Or maybe it's just passing through. Wu Darttou thought for a while and said: "You see that he didn't rob a penny today, which means that he doesn't want to alarm the state capital, not necessarily because he is afraid of the general's mansion." ”
Xiao Gao nodded hurriedly.
That one-eyed blind is a murderer!
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it, the more I think about it, the more fucked I am, go to sleep, and make the money for this trip first."
"yes, sleep, sleep!" It's real when you make money!
Early the next morning, Bai Qiao got up early in the morning, and when the four of them arrived at the courtyard of the inn, the head of the dart and the people of the dart bureau had already packed up, and the carriage was also set.
"Miss, let's go." Wu Darttou saw Bai Qiao and shouted politely.
"Our young lady hasn't eaten yet, let's eat something first."
After eating noodles at a small restaurant on the side of the street, the group continued on their way. After yesterday's low mountains, the road ahead was better, so I hurried during the day and rested at night, and it was already four days later when I arrived at Gangneung Province.
