The strong man took a deep look at Zhao Chengyan, and after seeing the swiftness of Zhao Chengyan's counterattack, he was still impressed in his heart. Huo Ran Wen

The warriors had a natural admiration for the strong, and said: "Three years ago, wisps of green smoke rose from the old forests in the deep mountains of Songshan, and since then, those idlers have gathered in the caves of Songshan, and from time to time they come out to knock on the bamboo poles of small traders and hawkers. ”

Zhao Chengyan said: "What does the government say? ”

The strong man shook his head: "It's not very clear, but I heard that the government has sent troops, it's all gossip, it doesn't seem to have stabbed the mountain bandits' nest, and most of the troops have been folded. ”

Wen Qi frowned: "These thieves are so powerful, don't they care about the lieutenants and lieutenants?" I thought of the little girl under the whip yesterday, and the little boy who was frightened every day.

If this is brought into the den of thieves, it will not be dead, if it is for his life, he will not go all the way to take people from Yanjun, what are these people going to do, go so far to commit murder, it seems that things are not so simple as they seem, it is incredible.

The strong man shook his head and pointed to the sky: "How can we know about the above matters, we only know that they lead troops to suppress bandits, who leads the troops, who knows this?" Anyway, the movement was quite big, and in the end, it was all over. ”

Wen Qi thought of the pair of sisters and brothers, what crime might they suffer in the future, the mountain bandits were mixed, most of them were outlaws, bachelors and rough men. There are many wolves on the mountain and there is no flesh, and after being a man for many years, I know a little bit about some shameless and adulterous immorality that cannot be heard.

Even if they are not tortured to death, they can't bear it in their hearts, but they are afraid that they will fall into the abyss of demons woven by themselves in the future, and their lives will be over.

It's not easy to be born, a good life, if you can't think about it, it's gone, what to say about the next life, it's all, I can't bear it, as long as I can get people out, I can't say anything to let them die.

looked at Zhao Chengyan with shining eyes, and tried to ask: "Brother Zhao, do you want to have a stimulus!" After all, there are some things that make your brain hot and do something that others seem to laugh at and stupid. Not everyone is willing to do it, how can you force it.

Zhao Chengyan said solemnly: "I don't want to!" This is too dangerous, what the government can't do, it must be a fierce and brutal person, if it was in the past, Yuzhi could also take this risk, but I have promised my father that I will go to the border with my father after the New Year, and now I just want to accompany Aqi to the mountains and rivers, Aqi has always wanted to go north and south?

Let's not meddle in these things, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that we are not dragons, not even snakes. ”

Wen Qi pulled Zhao Chengyan's sleeve and shook it from side to side: "It's not for you to attack the cottage and save people!" ”

Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed, he covered his lips with his sleeves, coughed, and took the opportunity to say: "Unless you promise me a major event in life." ”

Wen Qi grabbed Zhao Chengyan's sleeve and turned his back: "Forget it!" ”

Zhao Chengyan felt that his sleeves were empty, and coaxed: "Forget it, just go once, and you should practice your fists and feet." Big deal, I'll run out with you again. ”

The man on the side listened to the words of the two and looked at them like fools.

Wen Qi saw that the man was very excited when he heard it, and he didn't mind pulling another accomplice, and said, "What do you call Brother Tai, do you want to eliminate harm for the people." ”

The man glanced at Wen Qi a few times like a dead man: "I hold the child and daughter-in-law."

The days are quite comfortable, and I don't want to die. ”

In this way, Wen Qi learned from this man's mouth that the land under his feet is Xinxing County under the rule of Sanchuan County, and now this location is more than 30 miles away from Songshan Mountain in the west and more than 10 miles away from Xinxing County.

Wen Qi and Zhao Chengyan decided to settle down in the county seat first, and then discussed.

Wen Qi discussed with the man that he would like to give some silver taels to ask for a handsome horse, and the man responded to them both with shaking heads.

Wen Qi retreated to the second, willing to ask for an old horse that was not handsome. His head was still shaking in response.

The next best thing is to have a living creature that can save some leg effort.

The man was overjoyed and exchanged a little donkey for the two.

Wen Qi frowned, and discussed with the man whether he could give a mule.

The man shook his head and made a gesture to drive the two away. Wen Qi had no choice but to complain twice, and hurriedly agreed.

In this way, Wen Qi was dressed in Zhao Chengyan's big hat and sat on the little donkey.

Zhao Chengyan was dressed in Fu Chun's big hat, of course, this was the careful thinking of a certain son, leading the little donkey to the direction of the county seat.

From the back, it looks very weird, that is, a noble young talent, leading a shabby little donkey, on the donkey sits a well-dressed young man, so extravagant and so shabby concentrated on this picture, passers-by frequently look sideways.

Markets on the outskirts of the county.

On both sides of the street, the hawkers pushing the carts of melons, fruits and vegetables have their eyes fluttering around, looking around.

Wen Qi looked at the strange-looking hawkers and frowned, but he didn't think too much about it, he was attracted by a big and red apple in the car, swallowed his saliva, since he left the capital, followed King Rui, first lived in Yubo's adobe house, and his heart for any food was greatly reduced. Later, not to mention, I didn't see a single one, but at this time, if I met a long-lost relative, the familiar and sweet taste.

Jumping off the donkey, he walked to the front of the stall, picked up the apple from the fruit box to the weighing plate, and wanted to take a bite while the old man in the truck was not paying attention.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that there was a domineering and dangerous aura coming suddenly, and I subconsciously looked up.

"Old Zhangtou, I think you are tired and crooked, and you haven't paid this month's protection fee, right?"

The person who came was a man in his thirties with a chin full of green stubble, his eyes were like copper bells, and he grabbed the hand of the old man in the stall.

The old man stroked the stubble with his other hand, his eyes were full of nervousness, and he trembled: "No, didn't you just hand it over?" ”

The bearded man shouted, "Have you handed it over?" ”

With another force in his hand, he glared and said, "I don't care, then hand it over again!" ”

The old man said: "This, this, this, Brother Yan, I, I haven't opened yet!" ”

Having said that, he still groped and dug out of his arms, but didn't take anything out, trembling with his other hand Wei Wei picked up a few big and red apples from the frame and sent them to the man's arms, "Brother Yan, taste one, it's very sweet, Lao Zhang, I can't even bear to eat a bite." ”。

The bearded man let go of the old man's hand, and kicked over a frame of apples without blinking, the apples rolled to the ground, and the good apples became stumbling pieces, and a few of them also rolled down at Wen Qi's feet, picked up an apple on the ground that was missing a mouthful, and sighed.

The old man didn't care about anything else, took the frame from the car, squatted on the ground, trembling and picking up the unsightly apples on the ground, didn't even dare to whisper accountability, and kept begging for mercy.

With the thrill of the last time, Wen Qi didn't dare to be rash anymore

Shooting, doing something to fight the injustice, closed his eyes, twisted his face to the side, and didn't look at the scene of bullying that made people's hearts stop.

This twisted face made people stunned.

The vendors on both sides of the stalls, the fast-legged part pushed the cart and ran away, and there were people chasing after them with sticks.

The rest were stuck in the streets.

The gangsters are uneven in height, strong and thin, or domineering, or hanging, and a common feature that people can give up at a glance is the weapons in their hands, or clubs or farm tools such as iron hairpins, rakes, and shovels.

It seems to be ordinary and inconspicuous, and the lethality of destruction is not inferior to swords and spears.

It was just a verbal threat, but after a few words, the gangsters showed impatience.

Holding weapons in his hands, banging on the cart, threatening to collect money, some people with copper coins in their arms trembled and took them out, and after being insulted and kicked a few times, they were released. Pushing the cart and running away in a panic.

The rest of the dozens of stalls were not so lucky.

The thugs smashed with sticks and iron tools, ping pong, and the hearts of the people who vibrated loudly were pounding, and the hawkers put their hands on their heads, covered their ears tightly, and squatted on the ground, and each stick came down, and their bodies shook with it, not daring to look up.

Cracked fruits and scattered vegetable leaves rolled down the ground, and it was a mess.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Damn, don't let people live, come to collect protection money in three or two days, a bunch of mountain bandits, drag anything, I'm dead, and I won't give you another word." ”

Standing up, pushing the cart towards the nearest thugs, the cart has not moved two steps, the head has been shoveled down, the hand pushing the cart gradually lost strength, the handlebar smashed to the ground, the people also fell backwards, the vendors squatting next to the scream were frightened by the sound.

At this time, Zhao Chengyan, who was standing not far away, clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, pulled out the long sword on his waist, rushed into front of the murderer, and said: "The blue sky is white, and the murder on the street is too arrogant, and today I will let you taste the taste of fish and meat", and said and fought with more than a dozen gangsters.

Some of the vendors in the crowd also stood up and fought with the thugs.

Wen Qi only saw that the black big on his body was whirring in the autumn wind, his black hair was flying, spinning up and down, and his body was smart.

More than a dozen people attacked Zhao Chengyan's head. Zhao Chengyan flipped up, jumped to a distance of one person, stepped on the sticks in the hands of several people, turned over with the help of another one, jumped outside the encirclement, the long sword slashed outward, and several people fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this posture, the surrounding gangsters did not retreat but advanced, and their eyes showed excitement, and a nest of peaks rushed over, surrounding Zhao Chengyan in the center.

Wen Qi stared in the direction of Zhao Chengyan without blinking.

The bearded man's eyes also flashed with excitement: "Damn, I haven't seen such a bloody man for a long time." Rubbed his nose: "Don't run away, tell me to move my hands and feet", raised his feet and walked towards Zhao Chengyan, and suddenly turned his head and asked Wen Qi: "A gang?" ”

Wen Qi waved his hand, stepped back, and hurriedly shouted, "Who is he in your mouth?" I don't know. ”

Wen Qi's words fell, and the bearded man continued to walk in the direction of Zhao Chengyan, taking three or five steps.

Wen Qi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment, the bearded man casually picked up half a brick from the ground and smashed it at Wen Qi's head, shouting in his mouth: "Okay! Dare to lie to me, see if you are tired of being crooked. ”
