Chapter 136: No Remorse
Mu Yanzhao walked around the courtyard for a long time, and finally entered the house. Forrest gump
Shui Bo was half-lying on the couch, closing his eyes to recuperate, and only then did he open his eyes when he heard the movement.
Mu Qi walked to him and sat down, picked up a golden orange from the table, peeled off the skin, stuffed one petal into his mouth, and stuffed another petal for Shui Bo to eat.
Shui Bo had an orange in his mouth and said vaguely: "I heard that ninety percent of the civil and military officials in the imperial court are subordinate to your Qing Dynasty?" ”
Mu Qi smiled and nodded.
Shui Bo sighed, raised his remaining arm, looked at the slender pale fingers, and sighed: "It's not strange. The so-called righteousness of the monarch and the ministers is not just a requirement for his subordinates, the king has no benevolence and righteousness, how can he force the loyalty of the officials? ”
If he was just an ordinary official, he would not hesitate to abandon the broken ship of the Feng Dynasty, no matter how you look at it, the Mu family will not be worse than the Feng Dynasty when he is in charge of the world.
However, he is a water wave, but he - "The emperor's uncle has borne the world, but he has never failed me, so everyone in the world can bear him, but I can't bear him!" ”
Mu Yanzhao smiled: "I know...... You've done your best. ”
Shui Bo's gaze softened, turned his head, and quietly looked at Mu Qi's bright and clear eyes from beginning to end: "I've been thinking about it all the past few days, thinking about a lot of things in the past...... Do you remember when we first met? ”
"I went to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady of Chuzhou Thorn Shi, and you were there at that time."
"Wrong, sooner. I don't know if you have the impression that you once met a group of bandits in Jiangxia Sunjiazhuang? However, you have encountered bandits many times, so I'm afraid you won't be impressed. ”
Mu Yanzhao was stunned. Suddenly, he said, "How come?" No matter how many bandits I met, that time was the first time I worked so hard. At that time, he returned to Yazhou from Jiangxia. I was so tired that I was sick for half a month. But now that I think about it, I still think it's worth it, the big leader of the bandits back then has now become his very important subordinate, and Sun Darttou has been saddle for him for more than ten years, and he has worked hard to run around, which is really not easy.
It's just that I don't remember what happened to the water waves in there, but it was - Feibai did him a big favor!
That year. Mu Yanzhao was only twelve years old, and gradually officially took over the responsibilities of his master, at that time. Although the Yazhou Mu family is also an old family, it is still a little embarrassed in terms of money.
The Mu family and Jiangxia's Cheng family talked about a business, and now that I think about it, in fact, that little bit of leather business is really not important, but at that time, the Mu family was very short of silver, even if it was a small business, it needed to be valued. In order to show solemnity, Mu Qigongzi personally delivered the goods and picked the Yongcheng Dart Bureau in Yazhou to escort him.
The Mu family's business name, more than ten years ago, was not particularly large. That is, a medium-sized firm. It's just a little more decent than a small business, Yongcheng Dart Bureau. But it is Yazhou and even Quandafeng, the famous dart bureau, to do this small business, of course, there is no need to spend a lot of money on the dart bureau, just look at the face of the Mu family, and send more than a dozen dart masters and more than a dozen horses.
All the way to the Jiangxia ground without hurrying or slow.
An old and serious dart head of the Yongcheng Dart Bureau suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, the situation is a little wrong, you avoid it and retreat to the back." ”
Ordinary business travelers, when they talked about bandit Qiangliang, they trembled with fear, but Mu Yanzhao was not afraid of bandits.
Although he is young, he has been trained by his master for many years, just traveling with the Mu family's business, he has encountered seven or eight bandit robberies, and he understands in his heart that real bandits are rare, and most of them give darts to the situation, especially those with hard signboards like Yongcheng Dart Bureau.
Bandits robbed, but also just for money, generally pick soft persimmons to pinch, encounter hard stubble, there are many evacuators, after all, desperately fighting, is to rob the goods in the end, not enough to hurt the cost of medicine, why bother?
The trade routes they are taking now are all traveled by a large number of caravans, which are considered familiar roads, although there are occasional bandits blocking the road and robbing, but there are very few bandits who are really eager to kill, otherwise, there will be no trade routes here.
The dart master commanded the caravan to form a circle and protect the dart cart in the center. //..
Mu Yanzhao retreated into the protective circle in an orderly manner.
Yongcheng Dart Bureau, don't look at only a dozen dart divisions, but can enter this kind of big dart game, all of them are veterans, experienced, it hardly took long, a group of dart divisions, already armed with weapons, slowly dispersed, some people pressed the formation, some people rushed all the way to the front of the dart team, covering each other, neat formation.
The big guy was just getting ready, and someone on the side of the road suddenly shouted: "Go! ”
The black pressure rushed out of the roadside jungle one by one!
As soon as these people rushed out, Mu Yanzhao was startled, not because of how brave they were, and not just for the hundreds of heads, which were several times more than the caravan's guards combined.
It's because this group of people really doesn't look like bandits!
Except for the leaders of the group, who have a strong aura and are about to be born in the army, the others are all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and their clothes are not covered.
There were no swords in his hands, but sticks, iron forks, scissors, kitchen knives, bricks, and rolling pins. This is not surprising, nowadays iron tools are all controlled products, where do ordinary people go to find swords and weapons.
But there were indeed a lot of people, and besides, this group of people was probably hungry, their eyes were red, and they rushed up without fear of death, and they were about to break into the first line of defense.
One by one, they shouted and shouted: "Chong, I can't live anyway, it's better to fight to catch a handful than to starve to death." ”
A group of bandits, with a tragic and desperate face, but they were obviously determined not to retreat or leave.
Such a person who is forced to a desperate situation because of life is more of a headache than a serious robber.
Even a group of dart masters in the Yongcheng Dart Bureau who are used to seeing the scene, their faces are not very good, there are too many bandits in this group, and their dart masters are also flesh and blood, not copper walls and iron walls, one person let more than a dozen people surround them, even if they are all huā fist embroidered legs, they can't stand it.
After all, this group of dart masters is not really a master of the rivers and lakes, and they are just ordinary people who have been trained for a while.
was rushed by the bandits' momentum, and the dart master couldn't help but weaken his legs.
An old dart master in the lead couldn't help but walk up to Mu Yanzhao and said in a low voice, "Lang Jun." We can't fight the enemy, so it's better to give them the goods. ”
Mu Yanzhao nodded: "These goods." We don't want it. Startled the horse, give them the dart cart. ”
No matter how important the goods are, they are not more important than human lives, there are too many bandits, and they can't let the dart master and the guards take their lives to fill it, he gave an order, several guards rushed over, and stabbed the horses pulling the dart cart, and the six horses were startled and neighed. trotted all the way and rushed into the bandits.
These people are going to rob money, where can they really let the goods escape. The bandit leader picked up the kitchen knife, even chopped and sharpened, and soon cut the hemp rope on the container, split the box, and the goods fell down with a gurgle, and the leather inside rolled off!
The leading bandit was stunned and stunned. There was a deep sense of disappointment on his face, not only him, but also the other bandits, who were also very disappointed.
One of the little bandits, who was only about a teenager, was about to shed tears: "Why is it not food?" ”
In these troubled times. The people of Lebanese. Where will you need these leathers, tiger skins. Mink fur is worth a thousand gold, and no matter how good it is, in their eyes, it is not as good as grains and grains, and it is not as good as the silver of white huāhuā. Because they have no way, no time, and no ability to get rid of these things as quickly as possible, they can't exchange them for urgently needed living supplies.
