Chapter 56 The Peak Turns Around
The bearded man pointed his sword at Rong Xiu, but his eyes glanced at the forest in front of him, as if he was shouting to someone: "What person, come out for me!" ”
In the middle of the night, there was no response in the forest.
Rong Xiu held Yan Xiaowei firmly in his arms, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and pinched the sword in front of him with his thumb and forefinger: "Sixth brother, look at what you are doing?" If a brother is suddenly hit by someone else's hidden arrow, you don't quickly send someone to the front to investigate, but instead point a sword at your own family, what is the reason? ”
The bearded man raised the sword in his hand forward, quickly glanced at the forest in front of him, and then stared at Rong Xiu tightly: "Isn't the person who released the arrow with you?" ”
Rong Xiu's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone was light: "Sixth brother, what do you mean by this, do you suspect that I can't pass through the government?" More than a dozen people from our Qin family all died tragically under the swords of officers and soldiers, and if I hadn't traveled abroad at that time, I am afraid that I would have died in Huangquan long ago. Across the sea of blood, if I still help the government to do things, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Qin family will never turn a blind eye if they have knowledge! ”
He slowly lowered his right hand, and there was a wound in his eyes: "Haven't the big bosses already sent someone to Beijing to investigate my life experience!" Sixth brother, do you believe me with such a sword, or do you not believe in the ability of the big boss? ”
The big boss's big hat suddenly buckled on the bearded man's head, he obviously looked a little panicked, his throat swelled, and he raised his eyebrows: "The big boss's subordinates naturally didn't say anything, but Brother Qin, you have just joined our gang for less than two months, and the sixth brother has to guard against you!" This road back to our Qingyun Mountain, not to mention that I have walked hundreds of times, and I have never had an accident, but you have just joined the gang, and a brother is gone in the blink of an eye, which makes me have to doubt! ”
Rong Xiu looked sideways at the forest in front of him: "Sixth brother, when was the last time you walked this road?" ”
The bearded man was stunned for a moment and frowned: "When I went down the mountain to transport grain and grass, it should have been four months ago!" ”
Rong Xiu nodded slightly: "Sixth brother, do you know that this year's year is not good, there is a great drought in Beijing, and many Li people in the suburbs of Beijing have no crops to harvest. Without food and grass, many people fled from the villages, and took up the mountains everywhere to rob the passing merchants, and in my opinion, the man only released an arrow and disappeared, and he must have seen our identity through the pattern of chariots and horses, and gave us a warning. This place has been occupied by them for a few miles, warn us not to invade their territory! ”
The bearded man glanced at the small tuft of black canvas raised high at the front of the carriage behind him, a code that only insiders could see. In this way, it is possible that the place has been occupied by other gangs in just a few months.
He remembered the arrow on the Scarface door just now, which was indeed different from the one used in the officials, the arrow was thick and long, and the arrow was made of pig iron, and the workmanship was extremely rough, and it was obviously privately cast.
Thinking of this, he shook the hand of the sword.
Just as he was hesitating, a horse in front of the whole group suddenly turned back, and a short man rolled off the horse's back and rolled down, kneeling at the bearded man's feet.
The bearded fox glanced at him suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" ”
The man half-lowered his head, his dark face turned red, and even cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Back to the sixth brother, when I came all the way just now, the little one vaguely saw a short arrow stuck in the top of a crooked-necked tree, and the little one didn't think much about it at the time, so he hit the horse and rode over." Now that I think about it, this should be a warning from the new owner of this site! ”
The bearded man fell back in anger, and his originally fierce face became even more solemn: "I told you to take the lead and pay attention to the surrounding situation, this is how you did it for Lao Tzu?" Now that Lao Li has been hit by an arrow, what's the use of you coming over as an afterthought? ”
The man's already lowered head hung even lower, almost sticking to the ground: "It's a small momentary mistake, please punish the sixth brother!" ”
The bearded man didn't even look at him: "Can you punish Lao Li and come back to life?" Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to bother with you now, keep this account in mind first, and when I go back, I will have my own big boss to decide! ”
His eyes finally fell on the kneeling man in front of him, and suddenly shouted, "Give me down!" Don't dangle in front of my eyes! ”
The man hurriedly hid to the side.
The bearded man turned his head angrily to look at the dense forest in front of him, and cursed angrily: "This group of stunned young people shot Lao Tzu's brother to death with one arrow, so they came out to negotiate first!" Mao dared to come out to enclose the territory before he grew up, when Lao Tzu was mixing in the rivers and lakes, you didn't know which pit to squat in and play in the mud! ”
A man with a mole between his eyebrows behind him listened, and shook the sword in his hand: "That's it, it's too fucking a bully!" Sixth brother, should we send a few people up to teach them a lesson? ”
The bearded man didn't think about it, so he knocked his head with the scabbard in his hand: "Bazi, are you fucking confused?" There are only a dozen of us, and there are a group of treasures waiting to be transported back to the big boss! Just rely on a few of us to dig out people's nests, isn't this a door-to-door gift? ”
Lao Ba was unconvinced, stalked his neck, glanced at the scarred corpse by the carriage, and spewed out a thick resentment in his nose: "Then Lao Li died in vain?" ”
The bearded man glanced at him angrily: "It's because we didn't realize that it was rude to break into other people's territory first, and besides, the arrow wasn't originally aimed at him, who happened that he didn't dodge, and he can only be blamed for his bad luck!" However, we can't just forget it, when this batch of treasures is shipped back, Lao Tzu must choose a good day and lead dozens of brothers on the mountain to avenge Lao Li! ”
His rough big finger pointed to the scar on the ground: "Roll Lao Li's body in a bed, send a brother to transport it back to his hometown after returning to the mountain, and throw some silver coins!" ”
Seeing that the two people really took Lao Li's cover roll and rolled the person into a roll, they carried them into the carriage, and waved their bearded hands: "The convoy turned around!" Let's go around from the front, so as not to touch someone's mold again! ”
As soon as the words fell, the rear of the car became the front of the car, and the group turned around and continued to hurry with the dust.
Seeing that everything was back to normal, Yan Xiaoyi's heart that had been carrying it was relieved.
When the bearded man pointed at Rong Xiu's neck with a sword just now, she was really scared to death, for fear that this bearded man would rather miss one and never let one go, and attribute the blame for the commotion just now to Rong Xiu.
As he walked, the bearded man felt that his move just now was abrupt, and slowly lowered his horse's speed in front of him until he was parallel to Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi.
He laughed and touched the thick beard on the side of his mouth uncomfortably: "Brother Qin, what happened just now was that the sixth brother and I were abrupt, and I wronged you for a while, please don't take it to heart Brother Qin!" ”
Rong Xiu smiled faintly: "The sixth brother's words are serious, Qin also knows that the things transported in this line are very important, and the younger brother has just joined the gang for a long time, and it is normal for the sixth brother to suspect me." ”
"It's just", the corner of his mouth smiled: "Since a few years ago, the younger brother has secretly determined that he will never have anything to do with the officials from now on. In the future, I hope that this kind of suspicion of me and the secret communication between the official and the official will not be good! ”
The bearded man smiled, and his face was a little unbearable: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I know everything about you, and this will naturally not happen again in the future!" ”
Rong Xiu tilted his lips at him: "It's better to do this!" ”
A sudden commotion, although the twists and turns in the middle frightened a little, but on the opposite side, the situation suddenly turned around, indirectly eliminating the guardedness of this group of bandits against Rong Xiu and others, and the people who were stalking before were also eliminated by the hands of others, judging from the results, it was beneficial to Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi.
However, because the road they had traveled before was impassable, they had to take a detour, and the journey was relatively extended. As they walked, it was getting dark, and their carriages carrying prohibited ordnance could not be driven on official roads, let alone stay at the post station, so they had to sleep in the wilderness again.
The group moved skillfully, and in a short time they set up their tents and lit a bonfire in the clearing in the middle of the forest.
Perhaps in order to alleviate the hard work of the journey during the day, or to dilute the unhappiness of today's Lao Li's affairs, the group played a few hares in the forest at night to barbecue, drank wine, and began to sing and dance, and the atmosphere suddenly rose.
Yan Xiaowei was a little excited, today was her first time riding a horse, and she began to be upside down, but then her body became numb, and she thought she had adapted to it. But as soon as she suddenly got off her horse, her legs touching the ground, she realized that her whole leg was trembling. The base of the thigh seems to be worn out by the saddle, and it hurts when I walk, and the back is more like it was crushed by something, and I can't bend it!
After two bites of rabbit meat in boredom, she began to quietly twist her body to the side, trying to find a suitable sitting position to relieve some of the pain on her body.
was moving around, and suddenly a pair of big hands were stroked on her lower back, Yan Xiaoyi's body stiffened, and she quickly turned her head and grabbed the arms of the people around her: "What are you doing?" ”
Rong Xiu didn't look at her, his eyes kept falling on the crowd dancing by the bonfire in front of him: "Don't move, I'll help you press it, otherwise you will sleep at night, and it will hurt even more when you wake up the next day." ”
Even through the clothes, Yan Xiaoyi could feel the hot temperature on his palm, and massaged her spine in an orderly manner.
Perhaps sensing Yan Xiaoyi's discomfort, he suddenly raised his big palm and tickled her thin waist, Yan Xiaowei instinctively twisted her body and dodged, not attracting the attention of others, struggling with small movements, and pinching his big hand: "What are you doing, itchy to death!" ”
Rong Xiu bent his lips without a trace: "Then don't strain your body, relax, otherwise I'll press you like a stone!" ”
Yan Xiaoyan patted his hand angrily: "Who is the stone, have you ever seen such a good-looking stone?" ”
Rong Xiu raised his hand and pinched her little face, with a smile in his eyes, and whispered close to her ear: "Yo, whose little daughter-in-law is this, boasting and not ashamed!" ”
Yan Xiaoyi's eyes were full of water, and she was about to reply with a puffed out face, when she suddenly heard Ah Feng on the opposite side raise her voice: "What's the point of a group of people singing and dancing, let's play something different if we want to play in Qingyun Mountain!" How about dancing swords? ”
A group of people immediately applauded, especially the bearded man, and put the wine jug in his hand: "Ah Feng is worthy of being a woman in our Qingyun Mountain, heroic!" Tell me, who do you want to compare with, call one! ”
Ah Feng's cold eyes flashed, his eyes swept over everyone and fell on Yan Xiaoyi, and he smiled softly: "Please!" ”
