Chapter 53: Mountain Bandits
Uncle Liu said that Zhou Tiantian's legs would definitely not be saved, so he could only treat his trauma and wait until he arrived in the next city, and then boil some decoction for him, so as to save his life.
The next city was Yicheng, and it was already dark when the caravan arrived, so Ling Husu took the prescription given by Uncle Liu and bought the medicinal materials before the medicine shop closed.
The caravan was stationed at the inn at the entrance of the city, and it was able to leave the city quickly at dawn the next day.
Ling Hu Su returned to the guest room and took a bath immediately, Li Jing was very considerate, knowing that Ling Hu Su did not have a change of clothes, so he immediately sent someone to buy a set.
This is a set of somewhat swaggering colored phoenix tail skirts, which are good-looking and good-looking, but they are too glamorous.
Ling Husu had no choice but to put it on, not to mention, it was very comfortable to wear.
"Linghu girl, let's go down to eat......"
Ling Hu Su pushed the door open, interrupting the rest of Li Jing's words, he stared at Ling Hu Su in a daze, unable to speak for a while.
"What's wrong? Let's go, go down and eat. ”
Linghu Su swept past Li Jing, leaving a gust of fragrant wind.
"Really, really a fairy." Li Jing looked at the back of Ling Husu leaving, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The inn was almost contracted by caravans, and the entrance of the city was not a prosperous area, and most of the merchants who stayed there.
As soon as Ling Hu Su appeared, the noisy first floor immediately quieted down, and everyone stared at him with their eyes, and their pupils were really made of stone, motionless.
Li Jing walked down the stairs and coughed twice before interrupting the silence.
"May I ask who this girl is?"
Someone in the caravan asked, it was a big man with a round waist and thick shoulders, the caravan's guard.
Linghu Su didn't reply, and sat at the only empty table in the corner.
Li Jing walked towards Linghu Su and explained: "This is Miss Linghu, her eyes are turned for me, and she is embarrassed." ”
When the boss spoke, the men turned their eyes away, and although they were not looking right, they could squint.
Ling Husu subconsciously wanted to blast Li Jing away, but when he remembered that he was under the eaves, he could only bow his head slightly, smile and say nothing.
"Since Miss Linghu is a martial arts person, may I ask who your faction is?"
"Demon Gate!"
"Ahh Li Jing was shocked.
Linghu Su said again: "Just kidding, it's the Cangyue faction, and Nangong Yin is my senior brother." ”
Li Jing patted his chest, Fang Cai really scared him, the deterrent power of the demon gate is second only to the ghost.
"The girl should be a survivor of the Heavenly Sword Castle incident! I've heard of some of them, Heavenly Sword Castle was slaughtered by the Demon Gate, and all the sects were calculated by the Demon Gate, and there were heavy casualties. The government conducted a large-scale investigation the day before yesterday, and I don't know what the results will be. ”
"May I ask my senior brother, are they safe?"
"They are all safe, the Demon Sect has retreated for some reason, and now they have returned to the sect."
"That's good, thank you Brother Li for telling me."
The caravan had already ordered, and at this time it was served one after another.
The food is good, it seems that the Li family is rich and very good to his subordinates.
"Does the girl drink?"
Ling Hu Su handed the cup over, and after Li Jing poured the wine, Ling Hu Su took it up and toasted him, Li Jing was flattered, his neck tilted, and he drank it in one gulp.
The riot caused by Linghu Su gradually subsided, and the room full of people began to drink and eat, chat and brag.
"Do you know, King Han has entered the capital."
"Of course I know, King An and King Ji are also on the way to the capital, alas, I don't know what chaos will happen. When we do business, we are most afraid of national chaos. ”
When Ling Husu heard it, he said, "What are they doing in the capital, could it be that something happened to the old emperor?" ”
King Han is Chen Yi, King An is Chen Xu, and King Ji is Chen Yun.
Li Jing knew a lot, and when he heard the words, he replied: "It seems that Your Majesty is sick, and all the princes have entered the capital one after another, I'm afraid it will ......."
Linghu Su was shocked and asked, "Old Emperor...... How did Your Majesty get sick? ”
"After all, at such an old age, it's normal to be sick. Alas, business is hard to do! ”
This meal was very unpleasant, seeing that Ling Husu was worried and absent-minded, Li Jing didn't talk much.
After the meal, Ling Husu went back to the room to rest, and Zhou naturally had someone to take care of him, so he didn't need to worry about it.
After thinking about it for a night, and following the caravan the next day, Zhou naturally saw that Ling Husu had something on his mind, so he asked what happened.
"My father is sick, but I don't want to go back, I'm afraid that if I go back, I won't be able to come out again."
Ling Husu wanted to go back to see them, but once he went back, he would be involved in various disputes and it would be difficult to get out, and it would definitely be better to be at ease at this time.
Zhou naturally lay on the carriage carrying the goods, and Ling Husu rode a horse to follow alongside.
"Go with your heart! Besides, Chen Ze is not so easy to die, your brothers can rush to the capital in a leisurely manner, Chen Ze must be a minor illness, if it is a major illness, how can he be so leisurely. ”
"That's right, whatever, anyway, I can't reach it, I have more important things."
The caravan marched towards Weiguo, probably arriving in Tancheng by this evening, which was the destination of Linghu Su, but not the destination of the caravan.
At noon, the caravan was resting on the side of the road, and there were hillsides on both sides, and suddenly the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Li Jing's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "There are mountain bandits, everyone is ready to fight." ”
The caravan is not chaotic, the guards are assembled, they look very experienced, and they should have dealt with many bandits.
A group of bandits rushed down the hill and confronted the guards, and among them came a strong man with a large knife, who had a large chest and exposed breasts, and was strong.
"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road."
Ling Hu Su sneered, he didn't expect the mountain bandit boss to say these words, it was really ingenious, even interesting.
Li Jing looked serious and asked: "May I ask who is the surname of the eldest brother, who is the boss behind him, brother, I often walk this way, why haven't I seen it in the past." ”
It is very common to meet mountain bandits in business, and the Li family caravan travels back and forth between Chen Wei and the two countries all the year round, and they are familiar with the mountain bandits, so if the two sides are offensive, they will pass over as much as they want, and they will not interfere.
But the mountain bandit in front of him has never been seen before.
The mountain bandit boss scolded loudly: "What are you, worthy of knowing my boss?" Acquaintances, leave the goods, get out! ”
Li Jing Ninja was angry and said, "Brother, don't you know the rules on the road? ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't need to know, anyway, I will set the rules of this road, either leave the goods behind, or leave both people and goods."
Li Jing became more and more calm, and said: "Since we don't follow the rules, we can only do one game, heh, just a group of rabble?" ”
Li Jing's escort drew their swords and put on the defensive, protecting the goods.
The mountain bandit boss shouted: "Brothers, rush, whoever grabbed it." ”
With the boss's orders and promises, the group of ragged mountain bandits rushed towards the caravan crying wolf.
The captain of the guard asked Li Jing: "May I ask Childe, how to deal with it?" ”
"Kill, don't leave your hands."
Li Jing judged the situation and knew that he couldn't keep his hands, otherwise, they might be the ones who died. Even if they offended the person behind the bandits, it didn't matter, anyway, they broke the rules first.
The two sides collided together, and the advantages and disadvantages were immediately apparent.
Although there are few people in the escort team, they are all one as ten, and they can deal with the five scum of the mountain bandits, and they can be captured without effort.
All of a sudden, the screams were endless, almost all of them were the screams of the mountain bandits.
