Chapter 235: The road is uneven
When Tian Bule woke up, Huang Li had already woken up early, her body was completely exposed to the air, and the sunlight from outside shone in, like an angel bathed in the sun. Huang Li was looking at him without blinking, and when he saw Tian Bule open his eyes, he lowered his head in shame and buried it in Tian Bule's broad chest.
Tian Bule reached out and patted her pink buttocks, and quipped: "I was so crazy last night, why am I so shy today?
Huang Li pinched his arm and made a seductive greasy sound: "Obviously, you seduced me first and told me that joke." The bad people can't sleep all night, you are really a bird~beast!"
The two of them were grinding their ears and temples like this, and Tian Bule's * got up uncontrollably again. Huang Li also immediately sensed Tian Bule's reaction, and said with shame: "Childe, people really can't serve you." ”
Tian Bule smiled evilly and whispered a few words in her ear.
Huang Li's face suddenly turned red like a blooming peony, and then he stretched out his hand tremblingly and held it on his firm place. By the time Tian Bule walked out of the wooden house with Huang Li refreshed, Huang Li had not yet freed himself from the shame just now.
The sun was shining outside, and the jungle was alive again. The white mist shrouded the mountains and forests, like a beautiful white veil, adding a bit of mystery to the whole jungle.
Tian Bule took the yellow bird down the mountain, because the horse was taken, and the two could only walk on foot. The deeper you go, the deeper you go, the more dilapidated it becomes, and the road is covered with stumps and leaves. Tian Bule didn't dare to take it lightly, that black python might be somewhere in the jungle waiting for revenge.
Along the way, Huang Li held his arm, his face full of joy, and he was not afraid of the danger he faced. Tian Bule couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, making his women feel that safety is the least responsibility of men.
Strangely, until the sun set on this day, Tian Bule did not notice that the black python was tracking their shadow.
The next day, Huang Li's body recovered a lot, and the two of them traveled much faster. Until they passed through the jungle, they never encountered a black python again.
When Tian Bule and Huang Li walked out of the mountain forest, there was a sudden feeling of enlightenment in front of them. The tall mountains are gone, and dense woods line the road, with rolling hills and endless green meadows to be seen from time to time. The condescending Tian Bule saw that more than a dozen roads crossed in front of him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, which means that he will definitely be able to meet some people in the back, and maybe he can buy two horses that can travel. It's just that he is walking with his feet, it is too slow, and he must rush back to Linzi as soon as possible now.
The two were walking in the jungle when suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of them. Tian Bule pulled the yellow bird and rushed over, only to see a group of masked strongmen on horseback attacking a group of panicked men and women with big knives, axes and other weapons. The merchants were protected by a group of samurai in black armor with spears and clubs in their hands, who were not afraid to resist in the face of the siege of strong men on horseback. One of the samurai, a man in a scarf and plain clothes, commanded the crowd, while another tall, man dressed in a samurai uniform held a pair of axes in his hands, invincible in the face of the masked strongmen. Although those strong men are outnumbered, they are still in order under the leadership of the two.
Tian Bule has been flustered for the past two days, and his hands are a little itchy when he sees the fight. He first let Huang Li hide, and then flew away, came to a few feet away from the battlefield, and said loudly: "Good dogs don't get in the way, uncle is going over now, you group of people hurry up!"
A masked man with the appearance of a leader rode out of the battle circle on horseback and said angrily: "Where did you come from, boy? Get out of here immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu Li Hu will slash you with a knife." ”
Tian Bule said deliberately: "Judging by your tone, you must not be a good person, forget it, I am also passing by." At the moment, there is nothing entangled in my son's body, as long as you obediently give me a few dozen taels of gold plus a good horse, I promise that I will not see it, and I will not go to the government to report you. ”
"Haha!"
Li Hu laughed a lot, covered his stomach and said with a smile: "Our Pegasus Gang has always robbed others, and no one has ever dared to rob them. You've lived enough!" With that, he suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards Tian Bule with a machete.
Tian Bule waited for the man to gallop on horseback with a calm face, and when he came to his own foot away, suddenly his body came to the top of the horse thief Li Hu. Before Li Hu could react, Tian Bule had already kicked him in the right shoulder. Li Hu snorted miserably, the machete in his hand was taken off, and at the same time, his body was crooked, and he fell from the horse to the ground.
Tian Bule took the opportunity to ride on the horse, laughed and said, "Boy, you are really well-behaved, take the initiative to send a horse to this son." For the sake of your obedience, your dog's life will be kept for the time being. ”
The fight between the two finally alarmed the two sides in the fierce fight. The two parties stopped in unison, and Li Hu, who was defeated by Tian Bule, returned to the middle of the horse thieves with a disgraced face.
Li Hu rode a horse again, he really couldn't see through Tian Bule, seeing that he was not panicked, he suddenly remembered that this person came out of the opposite mountain forest, thinking of the terrible existence in the opposite mountain forest, his heart was shocked, and he said loudly: "Today's luck is not good, brothers withdraw!" He gave an order, and these horse thieves immediately rode into the woods.
Tian Bule patted his horse and came to the group of people who had survived the catastrophe, and the young man who had commanded everyone to resist the horse thieves just now said gratefully: "I am opening my ears! Thank you for saving the strong man! Dare to ask the strong man's name?"
Hearing this name, Tian Bule felt a little familiar, but he didn't continue to think about it, paused, and said, "My name is Tian Long." The so-called "pulling out a knife to help each other when the road is uneven" is a trivial matter. What was the origin of the Pegasus gang just now?"
Zhang Er sighed and said, "This is the disaster of the horse thief who has been plagued by Qi for a long time. Forty years ago, the State of Qi was defeated by the Five Nations Alliance, and the then King of Qi was killed, and the State of Qi was leaderless for a while. There were thieves in the territory of Qi all of a sudden, and although Tian Dan defeated the Yan army and restored the prestige of Qi State, the ferocity of these horse thieves had been cultivated. They usually worked as farmers, and when they had the opportunity, they went around robbing merchants and wealthy households. The Pegasus Gang is just one of the more powerful horse thieves in the vicinity. ”
Tian Bule said: "Listening to Brother Zhang's accent, it seems to be from Wei. ”
Zhang Er said with a smile: "Brother Tian is right, I am a native of Daliang of Wei State, and I opened a guard hall in Daliang of Wei State with my brother Chen Yu. This time, it was to escort this group of merchants to Dafang City of Qi State. As he spoke, he pointed to the man with two axes on his back, and Chen Yu smiled at Tian Bule.
The guard hall was a private armed force in the Warring States period, which was equivalent to the dart game of later generations. During the Warring States Period, wars broke out everywhere, thieves swarmed, and at the same time, with the development of iron tools, the economies of various countries developed rapidly, and commercial trade was frequent. This gave rise to the formation of a guard house, which charged a fee for the protection of the caravan. This is a fast channel for many poor warriors to "make a fortune", and often one escort is enough for them to live without worry for several years. Of course, there are also indispensable dangers.
"Zhang Er, Chen Yu?"
When Tian Bule heard Zhang Er's introduction, two people suddenly thought of him in his mind. Seeing that the two people in front of them are heroic, calm and wise, they already have the demeanor of wise men in the future.
