Chapter 74: Encountering Robbers on the Road
"What kind of monster is this? Can you still talk? A catcher asked in a trembling voice while holding a knife.
"A few quick brothers, this is not a monster, it is a camel that my father brought back from trading in the Western Regions, just like the cattle we usually raise at home, they are domestic animals used for transportation. It wasn't him who was talking, it was my brother who was playing with him. Qingqing walked up to a few catchers and explained with a smile, gesturing to the camel with his hand behind his back to tell him to stop making a sound.
"Brother, you still haven't come out to apologize?" Qingqing shouted at Zhang Xiang in the tavern, and Zhang Xiang immediately understood and nodded and came out with a fist to salute a few catchers.
"Catch my brother, hug my fists, my little brother is naughty by nature, I couldn't help but tease a few people just now, I'm really sorry." Zhang Xiang's words were earnest, and several catchers did not continue to embarrass him, and after a few glances at the camels, they left the tavern to continue patrolling.
Qingqing looked at the camel and gave him a warning look, and the camel lowered his head and stopped losing his temper.
"Brother, do you understand this Yunyong? I feel like it's okay here, at least those catchers won't bully people. Qingqing sat back at the table just now and chatted with Zhang Xiang, and Xiao Er came over to serve the food and heard more words.
"None of the arresters or garrison soldiers in any part of Yunyong City dare to oppress the people, because our county lord is honest and honest, and once it is confirmed, anyone who uses his power to bully others will be severely punished." Xiao Er talked about their county lord with admiration and reverence, it seems that there are still honest officials in this feudal society.
"Little brother, how do you get to this county office?" Qingqing was very interested in this county master, and for a while forgot the purpose of taking his master and Zhang Xiang out.
"This is the westernmost town of our Yunyong, and you can walk more than a hundred miles east from here to the central town where the county government is located, which is much more prosperous than here." After Xiao Er finished speaking, he left to serve drinks and food to the other guests.
Qingqing, who was full of food and drink, saw the camel standing under the eaves of the tavern with a sad face, like an angry child.
"I'll take the time to sew new cloaks at night, so don't lose my temper." Qingqing smoothed the hair on his neck, now this guy's life is better, the hair is much softer and no more split, and it feels as smooth as satin.
"Humph!" Under the eaves, after the surprised stares of passers-by and the pointing and pointing of others, the camel's heart was full of resentment, and he raised his head high to see clearly.
I walked more than 3,000 meters east of the town, and there were dense woods on both sides, many of which were still green saplings, unlike pines and cypresses, I don't know what kind of species was still so green in this late autumn.
Qingqing looked at the trees on both sides, inexplicably a little uneasy, she pulled Yin Jiangzi beside her and walked vigilantly, but at a distance of fifty meters, there was a movement on both sides, and Qingqing made a defensive posture.
"Brother, camels beware of ambushes on both sides!" As soon as Qingqing's words fell, a big fishing net fell from the sky to catch the camel and Zhang Xiang, Qingqing took off the golden needle and turned it into a sword, and his hair instantly changed color.
"Who?" Qingqing guarded Yin Jiangzi and asked the woods on both sides, and half of the personnel on this side had been caught before anyone appeared, which showed that this was a veteran who should often intercept passers-by here.
Four or five masked men dressed in ordinary clothes came out of the woods on either side with large knives.
"If you want to die, you will leave the plate behind! If you ask for money, you will leave your life behind! "There was a person who deliberately pinched his throat to speak, and Qingqing squinted at them, and suddenly she noticed that the words "Guanfu" were engraved on the knives of these people. Qingqing had a guess in her heart that she needed to confirm.
"I heard that the county lord of Yunyong City is very honest, if he knows that there are robbers in his territory, those arresters will quickly wipe out all of you." Qingqingyun looked at them lightly, and said very casually, they looked at Qingqing pondering the meaning of her words.
"What nonsense? Wouldn't it be enough to kill them all? Someone shouted impatiently, and rushed over with a knife to cut it down.
