Chapter 123: Taurus Guard
A group of officers and soldiers escorting the Qin prisoners and looking for them to buy food?
This is not normal by any means.
The people of the government take the official road, and there are post stations to answer them along the way, not to mention that there must be people in advance along the way to escort such a big matter as the Qin prisoners.
In fact, if it weren't for the large number of dart masters in their team, this group of lifters would still be qualified to live in the official post.
The main reason is that Zhu Wei is just a showman, even if he is the son of the prefect of Suzhou, it is very troublesome to stay in the official post all the way, so he will spend money to hire a dart bureau to escort him, and there will be a situation of sleeping in the wilderness.
An imperial army like Zuo Qianhu shouldn't have met them in the barren mountains and mountains.
Zhu Wei was not very smart, but he also felt that the situation was a little wrong, and motioned for Zhang Long to go and negotiate.
Zhang Long is an old Jianghu and a soldier, and he knows these doorways very well, so he came out in front of Zuo Qianhu and said politely: "Lord Qianhu is polite, it's a good thing to have one more friend when you go out, but I don't know how many people there are on your side?" ”
Zhang Long said as he quietly observed Zuo Wanli.
Looking at the dress, he is indeed an official.
The soft armor on his body, the official boots under his feet, and the hanging ornament on his waist, etc., all kinds of details show that this Qianhu Lord is not fake. But whether it was Zuo Wanli or the cavalry behind him, all of them showed tired expressions, as if they had been running day and night for several days.
Do you need to be in such a hurry to escort the prisoners?
In such a hurry, even the iron-beaten men could not stand it, and it was impossible for the Qin prisoners locked in the prison car to survive to go to Beijing.
"Thank you for this strong man, we only need the rations of fifteen people." Zuo Wanli said.
Hearing this number, Zhang Long frowned.
Fifteen people is not a lot, and the total number of people in their convoy is only forty. In this place where there is no village and no store, the rations of a dozen people are taken out at once, and they may starve.
Zhang Long saw that Zuo Wanli spoke very politely, so he discussed: "Lord Qianhu, we didn't bring too many rations when we went out, and we could only make up ten people at most, please forgive me." ”
But as soon as Zhang Long's voice fell, there was a burst of shouts from behind Zuo Wanli: "Boldly Diao Min, Taurus Wei does things, you also dare to push three and four, do you want the whole family to be beheaded?!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the dart masters became nervous.
If they could, they really didn't want to get into an argument with the Taurus people.
The rations for fifteen people, it is not impossible to endure it.
Just when Zhang Long was about to open his mouth to agree, Zhu Wei said loudly: "What about Taurus, my father is the prefect of Suzhou." Why, you Taurus can still behead my Zhu family?! ”
Zhang Long couldn't wait to turn around and block Zhu Wei's mouth, and when he said this, it would make a big fuss.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Wei finished speaking, the group of Taurus guards pulled out the long knives on their waists.
The young Taurus Wei who made a threat just now waved his long knife and said to Zhu Wei: "Suzhou prefect? There are many prefects who died in the Taurus Guard, and there are not many more. ”
Seeing that he was about to make a move, Zuo Wanli waved the horsewhip in his hand and made a loud noise.
"Cao Tian, there's no place for you to speak here." Zuo Wanli said to his subordinates.
But this Jin Niu Wei named Cao Tian not only did not shut up, but said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Qianhu, the brothers ran thousands of miles and died more than 20 people before they caught the Qin criminals. Have we had more than half a complaint along the way? Now the brothers can't hold it anymore, we will all die if we don't eat, you want me to shut up for the sake of this group of people?! ”
Cao Tian's words seemed to resonate with the other Taurus Guards, isn't it just to be an official in these years to be a prestige, and it is already a rare mercy for them not to kill people directly.
This group of Diao people still don't know what to do, Taurus Wei is a secret agent department licensed by the imperial power, and has the right to cut first and then play. Against the Taurus Guard, it is also in vain to kill these people.
Zuo Wanli belongs to the outliers in Taurus, he doesn't like to tie up with his boss, and he doesn't like to oppress the good, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't still be a thousand households with his ability, and he should have been promoted early.
But no matter how unhappy Zuo Wanli is, it is difficult to go against the wishes of everyone.
They were indeed very tired, not only from the fatigue of escorting the Qin prisoners, but also because they encountered unusual things on the road, so they hurried day and night and missed the official post where they were resting.
Today's Taurus Guards are sleepy and lacking, and the resentment caused by thousands of miles of travel and heavy losses has also reached its peak, if Zuo Wanli forcibly suppresses it again, I am afraid that Cao Tian will mutini on the spot.
Zuo Wanli was helpless, so he could only say to Zhang Long: "I'm sorry, we have traveled a long way, and we really can't hold it anymore, so please ask a few people to make it convenient." ”
Zhang Long really wanted to get off the donkey and give them something to eat, but Zhang Long also knew the character of his young master. This person says that what is good is assertive, and what he says is unpleasant is stubbornness, and he will not change what he thinks is right.
Zhu Wei usually doesn't bully others, but he definitely can't allow others to bully him.
If Zhang Long is given a little time and discussed with Bao Zheng, there should be a way to convince Zhu Wei. As a result, Taurus Wei came up aggressively, how could Zhu Wei agree.
Sure enough, Zhu Wei said loudly: "If you want to eat, you can, let the person with the mole on my head just now apologize to me, otherwise, don't want a grain of rice!" ”
There is an obvious black mole on Cao Tian's eyebrows, and Zhu Wei is talking about him.
"You're looking for death!" Cao Tian raised the long knife in his hand, and it seemed that he was about to rush over and cut Zhu Wei in two.
Speaking of which, it seems that it can't end without fighting.
Zhang Long and Zuo Wanli are very helpless, obviously something that can be discussed, just because no one is willing to suffer a loss, the result is desperate, why bother?
However, Zhang Long still had a little hope, and he turned his head to look at the center of the wooden shed.
In this situation, only that Dao Ran Holy Monk could stop this senseless fight.
Dao Ran Holy Monk not only has high prestige, but also has great magical powers, and the monsters in Suzhou City of the Blood Sacrifice have all been beaten away by Dao Ran, how can a mere mortal be his opponent.
If Dao Ran made a move, this group of Taurus guards would be suppressed without even having a chance to resist, and then everyone's blood and light would be spared.
Zhang Long thought expectantly: "Daoran Holy Monk, let's make a move, just like we taught our two brothers at the beginning, and educate this group of Taurus Guards fiercely." ”
But when Zhang Long found Dao Ran, he found that Dao Ran didn't look this way at all, but looked to the west with strange eyes.
West, what's there?
With this doubt, Zhang Long also turned his head and looked to the west.
At first, nothing was noticed, but soon, everyone heard a roar.
"It's a bear blind!"
Someone shouted loudly.
In the wilderness, what beast is the most terrible, not tigers or wolves, but bears.
This thing has rough skin and thick meat, unlike tigers that will give up after missing a hit, and as long as they provoke a bear, they are often endless.
Wild bears are much larger than tigers, and if you don't set a trap in advance, you will definitely be killed if you encounter a wild bear.
Therefore, hearing the cry of the wild bear, everyone became nervous, this thing does not matter what the prefect of the Taurus Guard, under the rampage, anyone may die.
Those who have bows and arrows have already drawn their bows and arrows, but they don't have strong bows and crossbows, so I'm afraid they can only cause some skin injuries.
Just when everyone was extremely nervous, they saw a scene that they would never forget.
A giant bear like a mountain of meat galloped out of the forest, and it was about as tall as a Taurus on a horse.
With such a huge size, isn't this bear about to become a sperm?
Such a behemoth charged, and no one could stop it at all.
Zuo Wanli was about to order his men to disperse so as not to be rammed by the giant bear, but he soon realized that something was wrong.
This bear seems to have a person riding on it.
A figure is riding on the neck of a giant bear. Because the difference in size is too large and the sky is dark, it is difficult to find without careful observation.
Zuo Qianhu's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw that the woman in green clothes riding on the giant bear seemed to be petite and exquisite, but her left hand grabbed the fur tightly, and she actually pulled the bear's head high, and her right hand clenched into a fist and smashed it on the huge bear's head.
Punch after punch, the blind bear was beaten to the point of blood soaring, and kept screaming.
"I'll let you rob me of a mouse! I'll let you rob me of the mouse! ”
The woman in green clothes on the giant bear scolded fiercely, her fists getting harder and harder each time, and as a result, the giant bear like a mountain of flesh fell to the ground before it could rush far.
The inertia generated during the previous wild run carried the body of the giant bear and slid forward, just between the Taurus and the convoy.
At this time, everyone saw clearly that the giant bear's head had been deflated by a large chunk, and the seven orifices of the giant bear were bleeding, and he was actually hammered to death by this woman with her fist.
Everyone in Taurus looked at the woman in Tsing Yi with shocked expressions and thought, "Is this still a fucking human?!" ”
