Chapter 7 Change of Plan
readx;? The carriage traveled all the way west, passing through Jingtai, Tianzhu, Gulang, and stopping several times on the road, Ding Peng instructed Li Kun to rob the rich and help the poor in the local rich businessmen who had a bad reputation, and Ding Peng's response, plus Li Kun remembered Ding Peng's instructions and was absolutely not greedy, so there were no twists and turns.

In half a month, Ding Peng has accumulated more than 200 points of contribution, but every time the gold and silver treasures he won disappeared without a trace on the second day, Li Kun's eyes became more and more resentful, and he almost became a resentful woman.
Ding Peng gradually couldn't stand his resentful eyes, so he had to coax: "We are on the run now, and it is really inconvenient to carry a large bag of gold and silver, so the master will bury the things temporarily, and then take them out when we return to the Central Plains." ”
He comforted again: "Lao Li, you have done a good job these days, and I am very happy, master." In the future, as long as you follow me well and work hard, not only this money, but also a few more sets of high-grade martial arts, master, I will teach you a few more sets of high-grade martial arts, and keep you majestic in the rivers and lakes. ”
Ding Peng said the truth, but Li Kun didn't pay too much attention to it, in his cognition, if Ding Peng was really awesome, he would not be chased and killed to flee everywhere, but he finally knew the whereabouts of the treasure, and he had a little thought in his heart, just looking forward to serving this ancestor as soon as possible to reach the destination, and then begging Ding Peng to help him detoxify, and then share some of the treasure and go back to Lanzhou to be a rich man.
After passing Gulang City, we traveled for two more days and arrived at the historical city of Wuwei, which is Liangzhou.
Wuwei is located in the central part of Gansu, at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, bordering Lanzhou in the east, Jinchang in the west, Qilian Mountain in the south, and Tengger Desert in the north. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers, and Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Dunhuang are the main roads that hold the Silk Road.
After only staying in Wuwei City for one day, Ding Peng had to change his plan.
Originally, he was going to repair here for a few days, and by the way, he sent Li Kun to collect some more resources, and in the original plan, after passing Liangzhou, they would go straight to Dunhuang, and then look for a suitable sect development base near Dunhuang.
It's just that after entering the city, he sent Li Kun to inquire about the news a little, and Ding Peng noticed that something was wrong. In public places such as restaurants and teahouses, not only do many martial arts people gather, but many of the topics discussed by these Jianghu people are related to Lingshan and themselves, which is far from being comparable to the drunken chatter of Nanshan Wuyi before.
Ding Peng was frightened, and wanted to run away immediately, but reason still calmed him down, and he had to figure out what was going on before he could decide his next move.
found an inn, Ding Peng did not show up for the time being, and sent Li Kun around to inquire about the news, and soon Li Kun found out the reason.
Sure enough, the purpose of these Jianghu people is themselves. It is also a coincidence that they were originally invited by the Qilian faction to help Yang Tianlei, the head of Qilian, but before they arrived at Qilian Mountain, they heard that Yang Tianlei had solved the trouble, and Yang Tianlei also went down the mountain in person and was on his way to Liangzhou.
Yang Tianlei received an urgent letter from the Tongxin Alliance, hoping that he would help gather fellow martial artists in Gansu to pursue and intercept Ding Pengwei, a remnant of Lingshan who colluded with the Demon Sect.
Yang Tianlei's senior brother Zhu Liweng is the protector of the Tongxin Alliance, Yang Tianlei married the cousin of Ling Taixu, the leader of the Tongxin Alliance, the two families have a great friendship, after receiving the help of the Tongxin Alliance, Yang Tianlei is naturally obliged, in addition to the Pingliang Kongtong faction in Gansu, it is basically the territory of the Qilian faction, so Yang Tianlei gave an order, and those Jianghu guests gathered in Liangzhou one after another, ready to wait for Yang Tianlei to come, to discuss the demon eradication plan.
It is also to blame that Wulin has been peaceful for a long time, except for some frictions and disputes within the White Dao Alliance, there have been no major events in the rivers and lakes for many years, at this time, I heard that the Demon Sect had resurrected, and it also conspired with the Lingshan faction that had been the righteous path, and created a series of tragedies in Baoji.
Ding Peng's luck can be described as extremely poor, it can also be said to be excellent, because if he could come to Liangzhou a few days earlier, then Yang Tianlei may not have received a letter from the Tongxin Alliance, so he may have reached Dunhuang all the way. As long as you arrive in Dunhuang, the situation there is complicated, the Han people, the Hu people, the Qiang people live in a mixed manner, and there are almost no people in many places, no matter how strong the Qilian faction is, it is impossible to control it.
said that he was lucky because if he came to Liangzhou a few days later, and waited until Yang Tianlei gathered a large number of people from the rivers and lakes and set up a net, then Ding Peng ran over in a daze and ignorance, which was equivalent to throwing himself into the net, but he was afraid that the final outcome would be more auspicious.
So after knowing the truth, Ding Peng was shocked and secretly exclaimed luck, he did not hesitate, and immediately made a decision, and ordered Li Kun to prepare the car and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
The plan was also revised, and Ding Peng no longer decided to go to Dunhuang, because if Yang Tianlei was well organized, then he would never only arrange people to intercept him, but also organize first-class masters to search along the line, and Ding Peng did not have the confidence to escape the pursuit of these experienced Jianghu guests.
Let Li Kun go to the bookstore to buy a rough map of Ganqing, combined with the geographical knowledge of later generations, Ding Peng quickly decided to change the original route, turn around from Wuwei, march southwest, and quickly enter the territory of Qinghai.
When it comes to safe farming bases, Qinghai has a better advantage than Gansu, Qinghai is vast and sparsely populated, except for the densely populated area of Xining Prefecture, the west is almost uninhabited, but the advantage is also its disadvantage: there are too few people, and it is more difficult to train disciples at that time.
However, now is not the time to think about this, the immediate issue is safety, and only by ensuring one's own safety can we talk about the next step.
Ding Peng instructed the carriage to speed up, and did not stop to rest at night, and marched eighty miles in one night, and finally the horse could not support it, and although the fare had tripled, the handlebar still insisted on resting.
Ding Peng saw that the two horses were sweating profusely, and they were still steaming in such a cold weather, and knew that they couldn't rush anymore, otherwise the horses would die and they would have to run on two legs.
"Lao Li, when you get to the town in front, you must change to a good carriage, if not, increase the fare, and let you bring two more spare horses. Ding Peng told Li Kun.
Li Kun nodded and said: "Don't worry, master, the villain knows that this is an extraordinary time, and the villain will do it well if he spends more money." It's a pity that there is no shop in front of the village here, and there is no way to find a carriage and horse shop, otherwise this old guy will be replaced now. ”
The old guy was referring to the handlebar style, and the old handlebar style heard this, but pretended not to hear it, looking at Li Kun's fierce appearance, where did he dare to make trouble.
Ding Peng glanced at the silent handlebar, and suddenly his heart moved, these people still have to return to their own city after driving the car, so if Yang Tianlei sends someone to investigate the carriage and horse shop, I am afraid that he can find out his whereabouts by asking. Ding Peng never dared to underestimate those Jianghu guests, they were messing around in the rivers and lakes all day long, living a life of licking blood with knives, and they were absolutely experienced in searching, hunting, and fleeing.
Ding Peng thought for a while and said deliberately: "Lao Li, look at the arrangement, my lord I have only one request, look for the fastest carriage, we have to rush to Dunhuang City as soon as possible, if it is too late, it will be a mistake!"
Li Kun was a little confused, when he set off in front, Ding Peng obviously told him that he was going to enter Qinghai, why did he suddenly change his attention? He turned his head and saw that Ding Peng was glaring at him, and he suddenly understood, and hurriedly continued: "Master, you can relax, the villain doesn't know how many trips he has made to Dunhuang, to ensure that he arrives on time, let's change cars when we get to the town in front." ”
Ding Peng was still a little uneasy, because if the enemy really investigated the carriage and horses, he might be able to grasp enough of his route and itinerary, then it was likely to deduce his next destination, so this handlebar style has now become an unstable factor.
Kill him!
Such a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, which suddenly made Ding Peng himself startled, when did he become so murderous?
Ding Peng hurriedly dispelled this idea, he was not cruel enough to kill an innocent person casually. Besides, this handlebar style is only possible to leak his traces, and Yang Tianlei and others may not think of investigating the carriage and horses, and the investigation may not just find this coachman, everything is their own speculation.
You can't kill someone because of speculation!But if this handlebar style really leaks the news later, will you kill him if you meet him again?
Ding Peng didn't dare to pursue this answer, because the answer might be something he didn't want to see, and he vaguely noticed that his mind had changed a little bit over the years.
Ding Peng thought for a long time, and finally decided to let the handlebar style leave now, but the carriage wanted to stay, so he asked Li Kun to give the coachman a few large ingots of silver, which was enough to buy two identical carriages.
In the end, Ding Peng took out two more ingots of silver, and in the eager eyes of the coachman, he said: "Those silver are just to compensate for your carriage, these silver are for you, but you have to wait for us for half a month in the town we passed through just now, we come back from our errands, and we also need your help to drive the carriage, as long as you can do it, I will give you two more ingots of silver at that time." ”
The handlebar type took the silver, ecstatic, today is really the God of Wealth to drive, those silver to buy two carriages are enough, these silver is also enough for his family for two years, the God of Wealth also said back to give himself two ingots, this is really a noble person.
The handlebar almost knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude, nodding like pounding garlic, and couldn't say anything clearly, but he said that he would definitely wait for the two masters to come back.
Ding Peng explained clearly, no longer stayed, saw that the horse also had spirits, let Li Kun catch the car, and the two went on the road again.
The purpose of his letting the handlebar style stay was naturally not to hire when he returned again, but to delay time. If Yang Tianlei and others thought of investigating from the car and horse shop, then the coachman was still waiting in the town and could not rush back to the car dealer in time, and Yang Tianlei would not be able to grasp his accurate itinerary and route.
Of course, there is also a situation, the handlebar type took the silver directly back to Liangzhou, but this possibility is very small, for the lower-class people like the handlebar, finally have a chance to make a fortune, he can't take two ingots of silver to be satisfied, and will inevitably look forward to the other two ingots that have not yet arrived, even if he can't wait for half a month, there should be no problem for ten days and eight days, this time is enough for himself to run far.
And Ding Peng gave the handlebar silver, there is another purpose, the handlebar type got a windfall, but I am afraid that he will not easily tell others, so when Yang Tianlei investigates, the handlebar type may choose to conceal or cover up this trip in order not to involve the silver, which indirectly ensures his own safety.
Ding Peng, who was sitting in the car, was generally satisfied with this arrangement, and the only dissatisfaction was that Li Kun did not have handlebar-style skills, and he drove the carriage fast and slow, and it was very bumpy, Ding Peng comforted himself depressedly: There is no perfect thing in the world, and it is too perfect but easy to suffer.
