Chapter 273: Determine the Whereabouts, See the Injustice (II)
Rows and rows are repeated. On this day, they arrived at Jiangxia, an important town on the edge of the Yangtze River. It is necessary to know that if you want to get to Lin'an, you must first cross the Yangtze River. Regardless of whether it is an off-road jeep or a container truck, after all, it is a car and not a boat, and it cannot cross the Yangtze River. Therefore, Chen Sheng and the others could only come here to look for ships and cross the river by boat.
When Jiangxia was in the Three Kingdoms, it was under the control of Jingzhou. At that time, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao appointed Huang Zu as Jiangxia Taishou. The most famous deed in Huang Zu's life is to fight with Sun Jian and shoot Sun Jian to death. However, it is "the rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes". The heroes of the Three Kingdoms have long been blown away by the rain and wind. No matter how many vicissitudes of life have been experienced in the past thousand years, Jiangxia is still Jiangxia, and it is becoming more and more prosperous. Although it is still far from the "thoroughfare of nine provinces" in later generations, the merchants and travelers from the south to the north are also shoulder to shoulder, bustling and lively.
When he was in the world of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Chen Sheng unearthed the treasures of Yang Gong and obtained several human skin masks made by Lu Miaozi, the world's most skilled craftsman. No matter how you say it, now that they are the prisoners who killed the Chincha, there will always be all kinds of inconveniences in showing their faces openly. So Chen Sheng distributed these human skin masks to everyone, and he also wore one himself. The effect is surprisingly good. Not to mention the reward graphics of the official government, even if Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing, who were already very familiar with them, stood in front of them, they would definitely not be able to identify Chen Sheng's true identity.
With the human skin mask as a cover, everyone entered the city with confidence and boldness. First went to the restaurant to taste a sumptuous Hubei cuisine. After a full meal and drink, he went to the docks to look for a boat.
On the docks, there are all kinds of large and small ships. Chen Sheng spotted one of the largest ships and was about to go over to negotiate. He hadn't taken two steps when suddenly a shirtless man with a tiger's back stretched out his hand and blocked his way. He asked in a rough voice, "Hey, who's who?" What do you want to do? ”
This man spoke in a very rude tone, and his gaze was even more uncomfortable. Chen Sheng's expression sank subconsciously, and he was very unhappy. Juque next to him immediately stepped forward with a snort and said in a deep voice: "We want to find a boat to cross the river." How, is there a problem? "He is 1.9 meters tall, and in this era, he is definitely a giant like an iron tower. Although the shirtless man is also very strong, he is only about 1.7 meters tall. was condescendingly looked down and spoke by Juque, and his arrogance disappeared by five or six points. Hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "Ask...... The problem is that there is nothing. But if you want to cross the river by boat, look elsewhere. Our ship is for cargo and not for people. ”
If the cargo ship does not carry people, then it is understandable for the other party to stop itself. Chen Sheng would not embarrass an ordinary boatman because of this trivial matter. He nodded, and turned to leave with the others. But suddenly, all of a sudden, I heard the sound of weeping from far and near. Everyone stopped to watch, only to see more than a dozen brocade-clothed men with swords and other weapons, escorting a group of women to this side.
The youngest of the women in the group was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was only about twenty-five or sixteen, and although their clothes were tattered, they were all quite beautiful. Their hands and wrists were tied, and they were strung together with a very thick piece of hemp rope, which looked like prisoners. The women walked while crying, and if anyone walked a little slowly, the brocade-clothed men next to them immediately whipped them over and scolded loudly.
The big men and the woman got closer and closer, and the direction they took was the boat that Chen Sheng and the others wanted to take before. The ship also seems to have been prepared. When he saw them approaching, he immediately lowered the planks and let the people board the boat. Chen Sheng's brows were twisted, and he asked the shirtless man in a deep voice: "Say it's a cargo ship again, not carrying people?" So why did these women go up again? ”
The shirtless man originally wanted to tell Chen Sheng not to meddle in his affairs. But I don't know why, my heart suddenly seemed to be pressed against a huge boulder, which made it difficult for him to breathe. He spat hard and said, "The goods, the goods are these women." Now the emperor's capital is Lin'an, which is becoming more and more prosperous. There are a lot of new brothels in the local area, and there is a shortage of girls. Let's find these women and transport them to Lin'an, and after training, we will sell them to those Goolan brothels. The business is very profitable. ”
"It turned out to be buying and selling people, and it was even more forced to become a prostitute?" Chen Sheng's face became even more difficult to look at. He snorted coldly, and had already made up his mind in his heart. With a wave of his hand, he immediately gave birth to an invisible energy, pushed the shirtless man away, and walked towards the group of women. Shen Luoyan and Bai Qing'er are also women themselves, so they naturally hate this kind of behavior of selling women like cattle, sheep and livestock, so they didn't have to say anything, and sped up their pace to follow Chen Sheng from behind.
Juque was focused as he walked, ready to retrieve weapons from his private storage space. His two giant knives as big as the door panels are too eye-catching, so they are usually placed in the storage space of the sect. But he didn't have been a candidate for a long time, so he wasn't too proficient in how to get things out of storage. You have to concentrate beforehand.
The group of brocade-clothed men who trafficked in human beings seemed to be very powerful and had a great background. Therefore, although there are many people on the dock, those who dare to speak out to condemn them are like very few. Those who dare to intervene, that is even less. But...... It's few, but it's not none. Chen Sheng is one of them, but he is definitely not the only one. When it was too late, a young man suddenly walked out of the crowd, and he was angry between his eyebrows, and shouted, "Hey, what's the matter with you? Treat people like cattle, sheep and livestock? That's too much, isn't it? ”
The big men and all the women were stunned. The men in brocade clothes have always been used to being domineering, and I can't imagine that someone would dare to meddle in things. As if in despair, a life-saving straw suddenly floated in front of them, and they immediately wanted to seize it desperately to change their miserable fate, so they immediately struggled and cried loudly, begging for help. Listening to their words, most of them were originally good daughters of good families, but they were forcibly taken captive.
When the young man heard the women's crying, he was even more indignant, and said in a loud voice: "It is simply unreasonable. In broad daylight, kidnapping and plundering people's daughters and forcing them to become prostitutes, do you still have a royal law in your eyes? Hurry up and release them! Otherwise, I'll have to draw my sword. As he spoke, he reached out and patted himself on the waist. Naturally, it also attracted many people on the dock, and they all focused their attention on the weapon he wore at his waist.
Chen Sheng is no exception. He casually glanced at the young man's waist, and suddenly let out a soft "huh". Said: "That sword...... It's kind of interesting. ”
When Bai Qing'er and Shen Luoyan heard the sound, they couldn't help but use their eyes to observe carefully. I saw that the sword on the young man's waist was really different. The hilt of this sword occupies about one-third of the length of the sword. The sword is slightly rounded, the scabbard is ancient, and the sword body is invisible. However, the hilt of the sword was slightly curved, and the edge was in the shape of a knife, emitting a faint glow as light as jade. At first glance, it looks like a knife and a sword, connected to each other.
Such a strange sword, when it is used, it must be combined with some strange technique in order to exert the power of the sword. And if the power of this sword can be exerted, then this person's martial arts cultivation is so high, at least it will not be weaker than the level of the Eight Great Sword Kings.
However, only Chen Sheng and Bai Qing'er can see the mystery, while Shen Luoyan and Juque can only vaguely see the general idea, but they can't say anything. As for those brocade-clothed men, with their skills that are not even as good as the terracotta warriors, it is needless to say. But despite this, they were outnumbered, and they didn't take the young boy seriously in the slightest. They have always been used to being domineering, and they are also impatient to talk to a young boy. One of them, who looked like a small leader, shouted, "Draw your sword? Bah! Is Lao Tzu afraid that you will draw your sword? Brothers, come on! Kill this kid and let him know the price of being stronger. ”
At the sound of an order, the group of brocade-clothed men immediately drew their weapons and approached the young man with a cruel smile. Ju Que looked a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, do we want to help?" ”
Chen Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "No need." This young man's martial arts are not bad. Well...... I guess it's seven or eight times stronger than you. Not to mention fifteen or sixteen people here, even if there are fifty or sixty people, he can still clean it up. Hehe, I didn't expect to meet such a master here. Interesting and interesting. In that case, let's take a look at the play first. As he spoke, he folded his arms over his chest, and he really made a posture to watch the show.
This side of the car is still talking, but the other side has already started fighting. Those brocade-clothed men obviously belong to the underworld. When people in the underworld fight, they naturally don't pay attention to fairness and justice, and they never fight alone, they all come forward to fight. But as Chen Sheng said, this young man's martial arts cultivation is very high, and he is not at the same level as those brocade-clothed men. I saw that he unfolded his flexible and agile light exercises, drilling back and forth between the crowds, taking a punch here, finding a gap there, and in a moment, he simply knocked over the fifteen or sixteen big men to the ground.
However, the young man had a good heart, and although he defeated the enemy, he did not kill him...... The brocade-clad men lay on the ground and groaned in pain, one shouting louder than the other. But as long as anyone with a discerning eye knows, their injuries are not even to the extent of breaking their muscles and bones. You just need to rest for most of the day and you can move as usual.
But despite this, it was a great shame for someone in his gang to be defeated by a little-known boy. In an instant, three men walked out of the cabin. One carried two swords at his waist, one carried two large axes, and the other carried a spear. The man with the twin swords shouted, "Who dares to come and spread wild? Don't you know that this is the ship of the Black Water Road, the cargo of the Black Water Road? The tiger flies on its head, is it too long? ”
The young man said loudly and confidently: "No matter what kind of black water or white water you are, in short, it is intolerable to abduct and sell women to force them into prostitution. I, Wang Xiaoshi, will never be too long-lived. But when I see you doing this unreasonable thing, you have to take care of it. ”
