Chapter 176: Being targeted
My words, Dexiu felt contradictory, but acceptable, after all, if I had a way, of course he would not stop his brother's happiness, but there was a way in advance.
That night, Pingle and Du Lin arrived, and when they saw Du Lin's more than 300 brothers, I was very happy and said: "Welcome everyone to the small kingdom, a new city will be built here, I hope you will work harder, and after the small kingdom is established, I Zhao Yan will definitely reward everyone." ”
"Good!"
The brothers in Qingfeng Village cheered, and they did not have any doubts about my words, because at the beginning, when there was a problem in Duzhongguan, they were the ones who witnessed everything with their own eyes, they witnessed the defeat of a dead city turn into victory, and when they worked in Duzaiguan, they received their wages every month and never defaulted, so they had no reason to doubt.
And the wages I give are also very generous, they are all from poor families, such a good salary, how can they complain, so as long as I am in need, they will refuse.
Even if there is no reward, they are willing to follow it with a decent salary alone.
"Then let's get to work after two days of rest!"
"Lord Zhao Yan, there is no need to rest anymore, we are all rough people, we don't feel tired at all for these jobs, so there is no need to rest." One of the brothers said.
"Yes, yes, we're not tired, we don't need to rest!"
As soon as the brother said that, everyone said so, looking at them one by one in good spirits, I smiled slightly: "Even so, but you don't want to rest, people don't need to rest if they are not tired, rest is just to work in a better state, and it can make people relax, so everyone listens to me, rest for two days and then start working." ”
Hearing my insistence, Du Lin came out and said: "Since this is the kindness of the county lord, everyone should stop refusing and just decide!" ”
Durin said in a word, and the matter was decided, but it was a very small matter, but I didn't want to, and the next day there was an accident.
On this day, several brothers in Qinglinzhai took advantage of the rest, thinking that they had never been to the Chu State, and they wanted to get a handwritten message with Sun Wucheng, thinking of going to the inner city of the Chu State, and by the way, seeing if there were anything that needed to be bought, and buying them back together.
But it just so happened that I also wanted to go to the Chu country that day, so I asked them to enter the city with me, but after entering the city, we went separately.
But not long after the brother of Qinglinzhai entered the city, he was targeted.
It turned out that when they were shopping, one of the brothers accidentally dropped the money bag on the ground, and the money was exposed, and their pockets were bulging.
After buying something for a while, they found a teahouse and were going to rest there, but as soon as they sat down, two men walked in and stood beside them.
"Brother, look at your face, aren't you a local?"
Hearing this, a brother in Qinglinzhai did not hide it, after all, they had an edict, and now the four countries had also signed an alliance, thinking that even if they said it, it would be nothing, so they said to the man: "We are from the state of Zhao Duzhongguan, because there are familiar people in the state of Chu, and we came in with his edict." ”
"Oh, the people of Zhao Kingdom!" The man hooked his lips meaningfully: "So, you are our enemies?" In this case, do you have to pay some protection money to enter the city of our Chu State? Otherwise, your situation in the Chu State is very dangerous. ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone knew that it was blackmail, blackmail, and threats, and these two were not good birds.
So at that moment, the brothers in Qinglinzhai were angry.
"Hmph, just because you two want to scavenge money from us? Grandpa, when I was a bandit in the mountains, you didn't even know where it was! ”
"Even if you don't ask who we are, you want to rob us of our things."
Hearing this, the two not only did not have the slightest fear, but laughed arrogantly: "Listen, everyone, these people are extremely vicious bandits!" They have not stolen their money from the hands of the common people, and you say, should they give some blood? ”
On the side, the lively crowd pointed at the brothers in Qinglinzhai, and some even shouted: "Yes, what good people can there be in the bandits." ”
"It's just, pick them all up."
"The thieves of the Zhao State actually ran to our Chu State, isn't this looking for death?"
"You deserve to be dead, and you're not a good person anyway."
"You...... You are unreasonable. "The brothers in Qinglinzhai are mad.
Since following Zhao Yan, they haven't done those immoral things, and the money on their bodies is earned by their own hard work and hard work, why do they despise them so much because they were bandits before?
They've long since rehabilitated themselves, okay?
They are also upright men now, and they rely on their skills to eat.
"What do we talk about with the bandits? Brothers, come out, we have to make these bandits look good. As soon as the man shouted, several more people ran in from outside the door.
At this time, the brothers of Qinglinzhai knew that these people must have been premeditated and had been eyeing them a long time ago.
"What should I do?" Qinglin Zhai said one of the things.
"What else can I do, hit the north!" The other brother also said, and as he spoke, he whispered to a relatively thin young man: "You will find a chance to leave in a while and go to Lord Zhao Yan." ”
The young man also seemed to know that in other people's land, anything could happen, and they had all been bandits before, and they were at a loss for this, so they couldn't fight hard, if something really happened, they had to find Zhao Yan, in Chu State, only Zhao Yan could cover them now.
So, the men and horses on both sides fought, and the brothers of Qinglinzhai also kept creating opportunities for him in order to let the young man escape while he was in chaos.
Most of these brothers in Qinglinzhai have been trained by Zhao Yan, and their skills are not too bad, but there are many people on the other side, and they are also a group of troublesome opponents when entangled, but fortunately, the young man still found a chance to run away first.
"Big brother, ran one, do you want to chase it?"
The man glanced at him coldly, and suddenly pulled out a dagger, waved his hand and flew towards the young man, who was immediately stabbed in the leg, but he only screamed in a muffled voice, and immediately fled with pain.
"Still running? Big brother, I'll chase it! ”
"Forget it, it's just a stinky boy, his hair hasn't grown, and he doesn't have much money on him, so he ran away, don't we still have these fat sheep in our hands? That's enough for us to eat. The man smiled grimly.
"Big brother is wise!"
The man who brought it immediately said doggedly.
Later, everything was according to what the brothers of Qinglinzhai thought, they were outnumbered, or they were captured.
"You're a bunch of bandits." A brother in Qinglinzhai said angrily.
"What's wrong with us being bandits? Aren't you also bandits? ”
One of the brothers in Qinglinzhai snorted coldly: "That was before, we didn't do this kind of thing a year ago, and now we are all under the subordinates of Lord Zhao Yan, I will take you or let us go, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but after a while, he said sarcastically: "I, just with you cowards, can you be that Zhao Yan's subordinates?" You bandits, why did she accept you? Do you think we're going to let you go? I want to see if the legendary Zhao Yan County Lord will appear at that time, and whether he will come to save you minions. ”
The man obviously didn't believe it, and with his cynicism, the people around the man also laughed constantly, and they all snorted all over the place, saying that they were something, and it was impossible for them to get into Zhao Yan's eyes.
All in all, it's all negative and hurtful words.
The brothers of Qinglinzhai knew that it was useless for them to talk too much, and they could only pray now that the young man would find Zhao Yan soon.
"What's going on? Noisy. ”
At this moment, the general who walked in outside the door, the general was dressed in military uniform, and he looked like a soldier, and he should be a general guarding the city.
As soon as he looked at the people, the man not only did not have a trace of panic, but said with a smile: "Uncle, these people are thieves of Zhao State, they have a lot of ill-gotten gains, and they dare to pretend to be the subordinates of Zhao Yan's county lord, and they should be punished." ”
Hearing this, those brothers in Qinglinzhai finally knew why the man in front of him was so lawless, this bastard was simply bullying, even if something really happened, that bastard still had an uncle to support him, of course, he was also reckless in the city, and he didn't take anyone in his eyes, so he dared to directly rob them.
As soon as he heard that there were many ill-gotten gains, the general's eyes suddenly lit up, but on the surface he still pretended to be serious and said: "Bold and arrogant, not to mention robbing the people's fat and ointment, and daring to pretend to be a subordinate of the county lord of Zhao Yan, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be beheaded at noon tomorrow." ”
"Your uncle and nephew are a nest of snakes and rats, you wait for me, and when the county lord arrives, it will be beneficial to you." The brothers of Qinglinzhai said indignantly.
However, the uncle and nephew had long been blinded by money, how could they care about what they said, and in their eyes, since they were just a group of thieves, what qualifications did they have to have a relationship with Zhao Yan, so the words of those brothers in Qinglinzhai were directly treated as farts and didn't take it seriously at all.
At this moment, the young man dragged an injured leg, dripping blood all the way, but he did not stop because of this, but searched anxiously all the way.
"Have you ever seen a richly dressed, probably tall, and very thin woman? She was accompanied by two maids with swords. ”
The woman who asked looked at the blood dripping from him and shook her head in fear: "No, no, I didn't see it." ”
With that, the woman had already panicked away.
Hearing this, the young man could only walk forward and continue to ask all the way, until he reached the third street, and he finally knew from the mouth of an uncle that Zhao Yan seemed to have gone to a teahouse.
So, looking for the direction that the uncle said, the young man walked towards the teahouse, but he didn't want to, the second child in the teahouse didn't let him in at all when he saw him like this.
"Go, go, you're covered in blood, don't bring bad luck to our store, and this is where people like you can come? Hurry up and get out, if you don't leave, I'm going to report to the police. ”
