Chapter 71: Freemasonry

The summer breeze is blowing, the acacia flowers are blooming, and in a place in the territory of Shiguo, Jin Buchang is sitting in a carriage and has been staggering for ten days.

This time, Jin Buchang pulled 70 carts of grain, which came from the Yue Kingdom from the waterway to Shigang, the largest river port in Shiguo, and mobilized 70 carts with three horses to go to Panshi City.

The land of Shiguo is barren and the food is not sufficient, which is also the reason why it has elite iron horses, but it cannot go on expeditions. The transportation of grain is extremely troublesome, it often takes thousands of miles, and there is no profit, no big merchant is willing to do this business, and all countries except Lingzhu are also officially forbidden to sell grain to Shiguo.

However, the Jinge Chamber of Commerce has started this business in the past ten years, and the price is fair, and if there is no money to buy it, it can be returned to the grain after the grain is harvested, as long as it is paid an additional 10% of the grain as interest.

Naturally, no one in Shiguo welcomes this business, and what makes Shiguo's government like it is that the Jinge Chamber of Commerce also sells weapons, which is a blessing for Shiguo, which lacks iron ore, so that half of the rice shops and weapons stores in Shiguo are opened by Jinge Chamber of Commerce, and there are no less than 100 shops in the country, which is not counting the transactions in the sporadic market.

And the two major specialties of Shiguo, war horses and silver, inadvertently flowed to Yueguo.

In today's Shiguo, the grain is levied by the government in large quantities, and it is the time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, many people rely on the grain of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce, and the complaining people not only have to face the extortion of the cool officials and heavy taxes, but also have to face the lawless thieves.

Those petty thieves hid when they encountered officers and soldiers, and robbed villagers when they met them, so that the people were overwhelmed, and they had to organize their own arms, and the weapons of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce had a market again.

Under such circumstances, the government saw that no one starved to death, and the people were prevalent in martial arts, and they felt that it was a good thing to govern the country by force, and they wished to make the people suffer more.

When these news came to Emperor Li Hongfu of Shiguo, he naturally heard all the good news, and he was even more bent on attacking Yangguo, completely ignoring the suffering of the people of Shiguo.

Before coming to Shiguo this time, Uncle Jiang took it seriously and made Jin Buchang think about his lack of martial arts every night.

The kung fu of the Shenwu Sect is mainly based on weapons, and among all kinds of weapons, long knives and whips are the mainstay, and the swordsmanship is average, but it is enough to learn to be eighty years old.

Jin Buchang recalled his martial arts in the car, sighed, and thought: "The martial arts in the world are as vast as smoke, and the fierce martial arts are especially the majority, and the Qingfeng Kung Fu in Qingxuan is almost all fierce, and Qingyunzhang is known as fierce and unmatched, and he is the best in the world, but he is not born strong, and he can't endure hardships, and he can't calm down and practice, so he can't learn it." But learning some swordsmanship to defeat the strong with skill can still kick the thief's ass. "

I thought again, "Joke, I think so, is it because Ba is looking forward to taking martial arts?, it's enough to have this kung fu, don't just practice kung fu but forget what to do with kung fu." ”

Jin Buchang comforted himself, and began to think of the task given to him by his family, but there was no specific news about this mission, only relying on the shops in Shiguo to investigate, but how difficult it is to find out this kind of secret in Shiguo, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The convoy is about to arrive at Niu Mountain, Jin does not change and is not safe, this Niu Mountain is vast compared to the other mountainous areas of Shiguo, and the trees are luxuriant, and it takes two days to walk on the mountain road before you can get out.

There are also some mountain people in this mountain, who can also live by planting some herbs and buckwheat. But lately, there have been a group of horse thieves in the mountains, more than 300 people, which has made the people's lives uneasy, and food and money are often extorted.

He brought many masters of the Shenwu Gate this time, not only He Yong, He Meng, He Gang, but also the masters of the entire Shenwu Gate Iron Department, the Shenwu Gate is divided into six parts: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead, with gold as the highest, with elders above, and the hall below, and the courtyard under the hall.

There are nearly one hundred and twenty masters in this iron department, and it turns out that there are no less than two hundred people from various academies in Shiguo, of course, what these people are doing is not something that Jin Buchang can know. Jin Buchang is worried that if the horse thief comes to make trouble, the iron department will make a move, and a few more people will die, I don't know if it will have an impact on the future business.

For these horse thieves, the Jinge Chamber of Commerce already knew through the local state capital that these people had strict orders and clear hierarchies, and it was obvious that the leader was indeed a number one.

And this group of horse thieves is quite strange, all tied red and black noodles as a letter, every day tomorrow will kneel to the east to worship, called the king of Tianhuo, the holy lord of water lotus, worship is very pious, not so much a horse thief, but a military religious organization.

Since the grain convoy entered Niushan, the horse thieves have also been uneasy. Looking at the grain convoy that is three or four miles long, there are no robbers who are not tempted, but for the banner of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce, there are no robbers who do not have a headache.

On the second day, the horse thieves hiding in the woods appeared, but the horses were not needed in this mountain road, and some of the horse thieves stood on the mountainside, and some stood on the mountain road, holding knives and guns, and drawing their bows and arrows.

Jin Buchang took the Iron Ministry, and the head of the Iron Horse Court walked up.

"Boy, report your name!" shouted one of the horse thieves.

"The second son of the Jin Ge Chamber of Commerce will not change it. "Jin Buchang is calm and unhurried, Jin Buchang doesn't pay attention to these pony thieves at all, just thinking that the other party will not die.

The horse thieves looked at each other.

Guan Chunqiu, who was simple by nature, didn't want to have many disputes, so he walked to the side of the mountain road, took a five-foot-long iron rod and slashed out at a tree, and the thick trunk of the bowl was interrupted and fell to the ground, which was regarded as answering the question of the horse thief.

The carriage of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce stretched for three or four miles on the mountain road, stopped in front and also stopped behind, and a few people from the Iron Department jumped up the hillside, and when they saw that there were no rolling stones and firearms on the mountain, they all returned to their original positions, some people sat on the ground, ate something, and there were even seven or eight people who supported the dice, and only a dozen people in the first few cars shook their heads and walked up.

Guan Chunqiu said: "We are here to deliver grain, do we understand the rules, the thieves did not hijack the grain truck, everyone dispersed." ”

At this time, three people came out of the horse thieves opposite, two in black and one in red, both of whom looked like they were in their thirties.

One of the black-clothed men said, "Shen Quan, in the Lower Freemasonry, today I just want to borrow some food, and I will return it in the future, and the interest is easy to say." ”

Another man in black said, "My name is Sun Liu, and I don't have anything else today, just to do business." ”

This Sun Liu looked smarter than Shen Quan, and he didn't say his name.

Guan Chunqiu walked forward with a stick and only said, "We don't do this business of yours." ”

Sun Liu's face changed and stepped forward and said, "It's rude!" As he spoke, several flying knives flew out of his clothes and stabbed straight at Guan Chunqiu.

At this time, Guan Chunqiu shouted, the iron rod was pulled out, the strong wind rose sharply, and the flying knife was scattered by the stick wind, but it did not fall to the ground, and flew along Guan Chunqiu's stick wind, and it was still attacking.

Jin Buchang was shocked, thinking to himself, is this a sword control technique?

But seeing that Guan Chunqiu was not in a hurry, the iron rod blocked the nearest flying knife, the flying knife was about to fly, but the iron rod was around the back of the flying knife, and then the iron rod swept again, knocking other flying knives away, and the knife was hung on the iron rod, it turned out that there were transparent thin lines behind these flying knives, which were controlled by Sun Liu. But seeing Sun Liu wave his hand again, a few more flying knives flew out, and at this time, Jin Buchang could also see that these knives were wrapped around his and Shen Quan's fingers, and just now two people were attacking. It's just that Shen Quan pretended not to move.

The other people in the Shenwu Sect also understood it, and they all thought in their hearts what kind of fighting method this was, the skills of these two people will not be low, they must be people with internal qi, so it is better to use a flying knife to take a knife directly.

Guan Chunqiu tried his best, but he couldn't sweep the flying knife down, and he didn't have a chance to entangle the thin thread behind the flying knife.

Suddenly, someone behind him shouted: "Don't care about the flying knife, deal with me." ”

This sentence woke up Guan Chunqiu, he shouted, the iron rod opened, swept away the flying knives in the sky, and rushed towards Sun Liu.

All of a sudden, these knives fell behind him, if the other party used the imperial sword, Guan Chunqiu would be attacked if he let go of his back, but the other two had no ability to turn the flying knife around, so they could only withdraw the blade.

The two glanced at each other and concentrated the flying knives in front of them, Guan Chunqiu swept with a stick again, wanting to knock down the flying knives, but only heard a few clanging sounds, the iron rod was entangled in the wire, and just wanted to withdraw the iron rod, but it was taken away by the two of them.

In a hurry, he was kicked back by Sun Liuyi, and when he stood up, he was already covered in soil.

Jin Bu changed his heart and said that this stone country horse thief has such a high level of kung fu, it seems that it is not easy to kick the thief's ass.

He Yong, He Meng, and He Gang just arrived at this time, and when they saw Guan Chunqiu standing on the ground with a red face, they all smiled.

Shen Quan squatted down, threw Guan Chunqiu's iron rod aside, wrapped it around the iron rod and took the flying knife back.

The person who reminded Guan Chunqiu just now walked out at this time, it was Lu Youxi, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Iron, who was already in his fifties, with small eyes, and a person who seemed to be honest and responsible, smiled at the two, beckoned, and took out a black umbrella, Sun Liu and Shen Quan moved their hands together, and the flying knife flew out again.

Suddenly, I saw Lu Youxi's black umbrella spinning in the air, and suddenly a whirlwind was like a wheel, and the flying knives flew away in all directions, ding to the ground. It turned out that the black umbrella was made of fine iron with a masked edge, like a knife, and the blade wire was cut off. Sun Liu and Shen Quan retreated in surprise and retreated to the side of the man in red. Lu Youxi put the umbrella away, still smiling.

Jin Buchang came up again at this time, "I said, what Freemasonic brothers, there are more than 100 dart masters here, and your best kung fu is nothing more than that, or you disband, how about you save a fight?"

The Freemasons looked at the man in red, listening to his commands.

The man in red was still calm, and said to Jin Buchanglang, "Everyone in the world knows that the Shiguo court is tyrannical and unreasonable, and only when people in the world rise together can we save the people." My Freemasonry was established three thousand years ago, the King of Tianhuo and the Holy Lord of the Water Lotus Puji world, and the peace of the world is all tied to this. Hundreds of religious armies have been built. ”

Having said this, everyone in the Shenwu Sect couldn't help but laugh. But the man in red was unmoved, and continued, "The Heavenly Fire Ming King has 10,000 sect troops in the Stone Kingdom, and he can be described as the savior of the people in the world. There is a way that the army cannot go without food for a day, and since my army belongs to the king of Tianhuo, the things of the world are used by the people of the world, and today I just borrow some food to save the people. He said sincerely, and the horse thieves behind him nodded one after another, all praising the Heavenly Fire King and the Water Lotus Holy Lord.

Jin Buchang didn't want to cause any trouble, after listening to what the man in red said, he just wanted to come forward and beat him, there are many cults in the world, and they are despised by martial arts people.

"So, robbing the people is still for their good?" Guan Chunqiu shouted from the side.

The three brothers He Yong, He Meng, and He Gang had the patience to rush forward with their weapons.

Jin Bu changed his heart and said, "It seems that talking some big nonsense is more hateful than scolding!"

Dozens of people on the opposite side collapsed at the touch of a touch, and the Shenwumen people were about to chase after them, but a few boulders fell from the mountain to block the way, and red smoke came out of the mountain road where the chamber of commerce convoy was located behind them, the smoke smelled spicy, and after inhaling, the internal organs hurt.

The crowd didn't know if it was poisonous, and the horse team couldn't retreat, so they could only run up the hill. The smoke was so strange that it did not dissipate for a long time, and when they returned to the mountain road, they saw that there was nothing serious about the horses, but that some of the grain on the carriage had been taken away.

I think these horse thieves hid in the cliff wall under the mountain road, hooked the grain into the valley with hooks, and looked down again, there was no shadow.

Shenwumen was very angry when he suffered this secret loss, but Jin Buchang, the bitter master who had lost his money, was not unhappy, he only felt that this stone country was more interesting.
