Chapter 67: Jianghu Road (6)
Zhang stood behind, looking at the scene in front of him in horror and unable to speak.
Seeing the officials and soldiers tie up Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng, he was so anxious that blood and tears rolled down, his eyes were black, and he immediately fell backwards, and fainted for a while.
Lu Lan'er hurriedly turned back from the halfway point, and suddenly let out a hoarse cry while holding her mother's body.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Mother, don't scare me. Lan'er can't live without you, mother... ”
The officers and soldiers outside the courtyard suddenly let out a sneer, and they didn't look at the mother and daughter of the Zhang family in the field, and slowly left with Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong in tow.
Fortunately, this cold and dangerous scene, like a biting cold wind, just whistled by.
These seemingly vicious officers and soldiers finally did not have a conscience and did the next step of harm to Zhang's mother and daughter.
It is said that the old beggar who ran out of the mountain stream saw that Li Qiusheng had escaped from the dangerous place under his own rescue.
He took a closer look at the surrounding environment, although there were many officers and soldiers, and his hands and feet were good, it was really not an easy task to besiege and capture himself between the mountains and forests. So the dog-beating stick in his hand swept horizontally, sold a flaw, and chased in the direction where Li Qiusheng fled as soon as he pulled out. In an instant, the pursuers behind him were thrown away without a trace.
After getting rid of the pursuers, the old beggar threw off his clothes and restored his clothes, and he was actually a heroic old man. The old man then put his hand into his mouth and whistled, and some black-clothed people with steel blades slowly appeared around him, kneeling directly in front of the old man and bowing. "The owner of the village has an edict, and his subordinates are respectfully sent."
The old man stood behind his back and said coldly. "Chen Heitou, you will lead these brothers to the three-way junction five miles away to set up an ambush. But when you see a group of officers and soldiers and servants passing by, an old man and a young man, you will immediately kill them. Remember that after you have rescued the two of them, you will return them to the north freely, and you cannot stop them, I have my own way to let them follow us. ”
Chen Heitou immediately responded, turned around and waved his hand, shouted, and led the man in black to disappear into the dense forest and mountain stream.
On the path leading to the three-way intersection of the north gate of Longscale Ancient Town, the figures are bleak, the deep forest is dense, and the grass is overgrown.
A team of officers and soldiers mixed with the servants was escorting an old man and a young man to stagger, and under the scorching wind, there seemed to be no fresh color.
Suddenly, a whistle came from the woods, and arrows were shot out one after another, and then a group of black-clothed people swarmed out, stabbing up, shouting and killing all over the sky.
Then, the two teams were even more entangled and fluttering, and they were in a mess. The neighing of the earth, the clashing of swords, the neighing of horses, were all that was left to the dust of the scorching sun and the howling of the wind.
Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng looked at this melee posture and knew that this was the best time to escape from the chaos. The two took advantage of the chaos to squeeze together, and their hearts blossomed with joy when they saw the melee in front of them. Grandma's, who understands that the people who robbed herself and Old Man Dong are here again. This time, a lively show is being staged. You can make a lot of trouble if you like it, and you can make a fuss if you like it. Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, no matter who loses or wins in the final result, anyway, we won't be head-to-headed.
When he thought about it like this, Old Man Dong's heart to escape began to multiply again. Looking up, just as he wanted to take the opportunity to find a blade to cut off the ropes tied to his body, a big man in black came straight with a knife, and he didn't let go of a fart. With a knife in hand, he stacked the guards on both sides, didn't look at it, and brought it over with a knife, cutting the ropes on Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng. Turning his head and turning around with a knife, he was entangled with the other two officers and soldiers who rushed to the face.
The two broke free from the shackles of the ropes, and Old Man Dong immediately picked up a steel knife on the ground and blocked the front to protect Li Qiusheng and fled into the woods. Although a few pursuers followed, they were blocked all the way back by the man in black.
Chen Heitou, who was still fighting in the field here, saw the two gradually fleeing away. Seeing that the time had come, he shook his hand and shouted, leading the other men in black to draw their knives and jump out of the circle, and followed him into the dense forests on both sides, and disappeared cleanly in an instant, without a trace.
There were only those soldiers who were wounded and complaining on the field, and the officers and soldiers who were still guarding against being attacked by others.
Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng got out of the trap, and walked north for two or three hours under the cover of the dense forest. It is estimated that the officers and soldiers chasing after will not be able to keep up for a while, so they leaned against the shade of the tree on the mountain side path and gasped.
The two rested for a while, and Li Qiusheng suddenly complained. "Her grandmother's, these days have been really unlucky. Either they were chased like ducks, or they were chased by people like death row prisoners. It seems that the people in this world are about to drive our grandparents and grandchildren to a dead end for those rewards. We have to think of a wonderful way to escape, lest we have not brought Dong Yanzhi back from the capital, and we will go to prison first, isn't it all over? ”
After talking at length, Li Qiusheng sat down in front of Old Man Dong with his buttocks, tilting his head to look at the dejected Old Man Dong, a pair of thief eyes dripping around.
Old Man Dong was so entangled by Li Qiusheng that he had no choice but to make a sullen voice. "Why, boy, what do you have to do? First, we don't have to be afraid, and second, we can sing all the way to the capital to pick up Yanzhi's good girl. ”
Li Qiu was so angry that he yelled, "In the past, others praised you for being well-informed, why are you cowardly now." If I had a good way to ask you, old man, would I still use it? Really, when it comes to the critical moment, you will have diarrhea. Hey, the sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes... ”
Suddenly, Old Man Dong was so angry by Li Qiusheng's sarcasm that he said angrily. "I said, boy, can you be at ease. If the sky had eyes, would it do this to the two of us? Will you do this to Dong Yanzhi's girl? You better save it, be honest, think of a way, how to go to the capital is the right way. After saying that, he closed his eyes, leaned against the roots of the tree, and slowly dozed him off.
Li Qiusheng seemed to be choked by Old Man Dong's words, and he couldn't wait to tear Old Man Dong's whole person apart. However, he finally stopped his devilish impulse and made a helpless ghost appearance at Old Man Dong. threw the broken package tied to his back and followed it back, like a flipped-over Wang Basi with his feet facing the sky, and also dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Festival.
In the middle of their sleep, an old man with a long beard and fluttering slowly crossed to them. Looking at the two of them looking embarrassed, sighing slightly, and shaking the small branch next to them, Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong woke up leisurely.
Li Qiusheng woke up with his eyes open, alertly scolded the old man, and asked if he liked to talk or not. "You, who are you? Why do you want to do something silently like a ghost? I can tell you, our two masters are the Qin criminals arrested by the imperial court, so you can stay away from our two if it's okay. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless and unjust. ”
The old man suddenly laughed and stroked the long beard under his chin. "Young man, I don't like to hear what you say. You take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, why provoke your grandfather? Isn't that far-fetched? ”
Li Qiusheng was speechless for a while, and only spit out a sentence after half a sound. "No, it's good if there isn't, our well water doesn't interfere with river water. Don't ask for yourself, I, Li Qiusheng, am not a vegetarian. After that, he didn't look at the old man, stretched his waist, turned over and fell asleep again.
Old Man Dong had been silent just now, and when he heard Li Qiusheng say this, he felt that he was a little unkind, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and he hated them very much when he saw them.
He cleared his throat and saluted, "Brother, this kid of mine is extremely stubborn and unreasonable. If there is an offense, please brother you Haihan. ”
The old man heard what Old Man Dong said, and hurriedly returned the salute. "Brother, they are all like-minded people in the rivers and lakes, and it is not unusual for young people to be reckless. But what I just heard the two of them talk about, they must have been troubled by the fact that there was no shelter in front of them. If you don't dislike it, it's rare that the little brother has a good place to go, I don't know what the two of you think. After speaking, he stood there quietly as if waiting for Old Man Dong's answer.
Li Qiusheng immediately turned around, his eyes lit up, and he poked his head out and asked urgently. "Old man, do you have a place for our grandfather? Let's listen to it, and it won't be hit. ”
The old man smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Li Qiusheng's thoughts. "Young man, don't ask if this place is good or not. You two have to agree to my conditions first, and it depends on your grandfather's intention whether you go to this good place to settle down or not. As for this place, is it good to go to Lou Shenyan? Won't you two be clear when you two see it? What's the use of saving me from saying it well, if you don't go. ”
"Ah, old man, it seems that you are trying to trick me and the old man. I advise you to die of this heart, I, Li Qiusheng, dare not say anything else, but I have learned a lot of tricks to deceive people on the streets. It's just that you've worked hard for a while, and you still want to deceive us two, no way. Li Qiusheng slowly crossed in front of the old man, and said with a smile, as if this unashamed old man really met a monkey playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and there was no way.
Old Man Dong saw that Li Qiusheng's stench came again, and hurriedly took advantage of the front to come to the round. "Brother, don't be like this kid, he has a stinky mouth, and a dead cow can blow you to the sky. If you have any advice, you might as well tell me, you can decide whether you succeed or not. The old man still smiled slightly, and sold Guan Zidao again. Brother, it's a matter of confidentiality, and you still don't know. But you two can rest assured, I definitely don't have the heart to poison the two of you. What's more, Li Qiusheng's name is already famous all over the world, if I hurt him, wouldn't it be asking for my own hardship, can the heroes of the world let me go? ”
With that, the two of them fell into deep thought, as if they were both thinking about their unknown thoughts.
Suddenly, Li Qiusheng stretched his waist next to him and smiled bitterly. "Old man, since everyone is talking so badly. Then what are we afraid of him, even if it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we have to break through. Old man, don't talk about it, let's go down with this big brother. ”
Old Man Dong was shocked for a moment, and he didn't know what to say. The old man smiled slightly, and the two turned around and led the way to the mountain stream in front of them.
Li Qiusheng was not ambiguous, and as soon as he beckoned, he pulled Old Man Dong and followed.
The three of them walked along the mountain stream path, and for a while they did not have the trouble of chasing soldiers, but they were also relaxed and smiling.
At this time, the old problem hidden in Li Qiusheng's heart was quietly revealed. He walked past Old Man Dong and walked to the old man in front of him and asked, "Old man, can I ask you a question?" Or you tell us directly, your name is Shezi. Otherwise, we always walk with you without knowing your name, and it's not a way to do it if we are not sure. After finishing speaking, he turned around again, poked half of his head and deliberately led the topic to Old Man Dong and said, "Old man, you can also tell me if this is what we are worried about." ”
Old Man Dong was entangled by Li Qiusheng like this, and he had to follow the topic down. "Brother, what this kid said is not unreasonable, and now he really hits the doubts in our hearts. If my brother can tell me honestly, then let's go to this worry, so that we won't go with you in a daze. As he spoke, he took two more steps and whispered while pulling Li Qiusheng's clothes. It's all your fame, and now that we're in such a difficult situation, isn't there one more person to have more strength? You are still suspicious of other people's intentions, and you really have yours. ”
Li Qiusheng teased unconvinced, "Old man, can you blame me for the sinister ways of this world?" I'm also a temporary long-term and a wiser, and I just have multiple hearts. I don't want the two of us to repeat the same mistakes in Peach Blossom Town, and I have to help count the money if we are sold. Old Man Dong was choked by Li Qiusheng and felt sore for a while, and he became speechless for a while but unwilling, so he had to stare at a pair of big eyes angrily, sighed and walked silently.
The old man suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Li Qiusheng, you don't have to speak in such a forced tone. Why are you suffering? Don't you just want to know my name? Why save you? Do you have a place to stay? You don't have to rush yet, I'll tell you little by little later. As he spoke, he stepped forward and looked at each other a few times, patted Old Man Dong's shoulder with one hand, and shook his head and sighed. Brother Dong has endured a lot of hardships, according to me, Li Qiusheng, this kid is too late to thank Brother Dong, so can he use words to stimulate you? Hey, this kid is really tough. Brother Dong, don't take it to heart. ”
Li Qiusheng shouted next to him, "Old man, you said so much nonsense, but you still didn't tell us what your name is?" Do you still want to fool the two of us, just to get the little reward and reward from the imperial court? you, the master won't go with you. The road is facing the sky, and each one goes aside. After that, regardless of whether Old Man Dong disagreed with his opinions and ideas, he copied the starting point and walked back.
The old man smiled slightly, looking at Li Qiusheng's cool temperament. "Boy, listen up, my name is Golden Knife, and I'm just an ordinary person."
Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong were suddenly taken aback again, and immediately fixed there and glanced at each other.
Mom, this name gives people the feeling that he is a real bandit gangster! What's wrong with the two of us? Either you meet a thief or you meet a bandit.
