Chapter 120: Suppressing the Bandit Army

After leaving Fanfang District, Ding Li was no longer dragged by Liu Sheng to continue to wander around the city, since lunch, Liu Sheng has been thinking about when to bring Xia Qing back to the mansion, and Ding Li is also thinking about the batch of goods that the Cao family docked in Fuxu Port four days later, until now Ding Li has not received specific news from Uncle Fu.

After some consideration, Ding Li still decided to go to Fuxu Town in person, but what gave Ding Li a headache was the Zhang family sisters and brothers in Fuxu Town, and how to say goodbye to Liu Sheng. However, in the end, it was to Ding Li's surprise, Liu Sheng, who had already been mentally prepared, did not say anything to obstruct him, but very calmly told Ding Li to pay attention to safety, and when Ding Li left the next morning, he also went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and even filled a pastry for Ding Li and his fellow sunspots, which were also made by himself.

Leaving his mansion, Ding Li also went to Zhang's mansion, which was not far away, and picked out two hard crossbows and two Tang knives from the arsenal where Zhang Wu took him last time.

Kuroko didn't reply, but used his actual actions to let Ding Li know the answer, and walked around the arsenal at a gallop, his hands were obviously not enough, because there were three hard bows on his back alone, and even the armor-piercing arrows specially made of fine iron were carried by Kuroko in two pots.

However, Heizi didn't even look at the extremely precious Qin crossbow, which didn't surprise Ding Li, as a full-time killer, although the crossbow used in the sneak attack was not necessarily the upper level of the best, it must be extremely handy, which was very important for sneak attack assassination.

When leaving the arsenal, Kuroko smiled embarrassedly and said to Ding Li: "Brother Li, I'll go out in a while, or please call two people to send these back to the house first." ”

"What? You take so much, not to take it on the road, but to send it home? "Ding Li was surprised now, although Kuroko took a lot, but the two of them brought four mounts, so it was not difficult to bring the 'trophies' on Kuroko's body together.

"Hey, hey. These are good things, I didn't expect so many hidden goods in the second master's mansion! Kuroko grinned, but nodded very seriously, but Ding Li hurriedly jumped to the side, exclaiming and refusing: "Don't!" I want to send you to find someone to deliver it yourself, I don't want my second brother to think that I am taking advantage of his absence to bring you to occupy his hidden goods! ”

As he spoke, Ding Li suddenly turned around, raised his head at the corner of the huge arsenal, and then proposed to the sunspot with a serious face: "Sunspot! Look at that, if we take that one to Fuxu Town, no one will dare to beat us along the way! ”

"Really?" Heizi glanced at Ding Li suspiciously, slowly turned around with a pile of 'trophies', and was immediately stunned, and then turned his head to look at Ding Li suspiciously, and asked uncertainly: "Li, Brother Li, you mean that, the bed crossbow?" ”

"Hahaha! I'm kidding you, let's go! Ding Li laughed twice, raised his hand and patted Kuroko's shoulder, shook his head towards the door, and strode away.

"That's right!" But Kuroko seriously turned his head again to look at the crossbow a few times, and then shook his head and sighed with regret: "It's just that there are too few people, if there are two more people, I can really dismantle this thing and take it away!" ”

Before leaving, Heizi repeatedly told the two people who sent the weapons to be careful, and also told the other party to send them to Xu Hong by hand, so that Xu Hong could keep them for himself temporarily.

"Boom! Boom! Boom.. ”

In the early morning, the streets are a little deserted, and the rhythmic drumming from the drum tower is very exciting, as if to wake up the city that has been sleeping all night in a short time. With the sound of drums through the streets and alleys, the four city gates on duty generals have also done the alternation, the soldiers on duty at night have dragged their tired bodies away, a team of energetic soldiers have just finished the task of quickly taking over the task of their companions, the four city gates also seem to have been awakened by the drums that have covered the whole city, squeak and slowly open, will be slightly dim city gate hole suddenly illuminated.

A group of caravans that got up early to go to Fuxu Town also lined up neatly, and after being inspected and interrogated by the guards in turn, they drove the convoy out of the city one after another. Ding Li and Kuroko didn't want to target too much, they just led their mounts in the queue and went out of the city with the flow, but they didn't go far from the city, and even Ding Li just stood in the comfortable morning light and closed his eyes for less than half a minute, when he heard someone behind him shouting his name.

"Brother Li! Brother Li, is Brother Li in front? ”

Hearing this, Heizi immediately turned around vigilantly pulling the reins of the mount, but Ding Li slowly opened his eyes unhurriedly, and then turned around with a smile, because the sound in his ears was very familiar, it was Li Shan, the big dart head of the Miao dart game that he met a few days ago.

Li Shan, who was trotting on foot, saw Ding Li who turned around, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he arched his hand towards Ding Li as he ran: "Brother Li, it's really you!" I saw you in the city just now, but the guards in the city strictly prohibit making noise, so I have to wait until I come out and call you again! ”

"Brother Li! Why did you start to force Brother Li again, didn't you see each other for half a month, and there was a separation between you and me? Ding Li threw away the reins in his hand, strode over to Li Shan, returned the salute with the same smile, and then said with a straight face pretending to be unhappy.

"Hahaha! Get used to it, get used to it! Out of the way! Li Shan also laughed heartily, waved his hand, and then changed his name when he spoke, and suddenly the relationship between the two became much closer: "Ali, where are you going?" Coming out of this south gate early in the morning, could it be that you are going to Fuxu Town? ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Ding Li to answer, Li Shan enthusiastically turned around and pointed to the caravan that still had half of the convoy left in the city gate cave, and then sent an invitation to Ding Li: "Ali, you might as well go together!" This trip also happens to be the goods of Zhang's Chamber of Commerce, and there are many of us, and in recent times, the road to Fuxu Town is really not smooth, so it is good to take care of it! ”

"Oh? Really? Ding Li replied casually, raised his eyes and looked at the convoy behind Li Shan, in addition to the dart flag of the Miao dart bureau, there was also the flag of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and the entire convoy was indeed large enough, there were more than thirty trucks alone, and the scale of the personnel was indeed as large as Li Shan said, and there were nearly 100 drivers and handymen accompanying him.

"Ali, the young owner of the Zhang family personally named this trip, there are forty-six brothers in our dart bureau, and the Zhang Chamber of Commerce also sent thirty people to help!" Li Shan pointed to the convoy behind him that had not yet completely left the city, briefly explained to Ding Li, and suddenly took a step forward, leaned over and smiled low to Ding Li and continued to add: "This is thanks to Ali, you helped last time, now that you have taken the big boat of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, not only those dart bureaus in Fuxu Town dare not beat our ideas, but even the brothers who have been busy in the past half a month of business can't sleep a full night!" ”

Saying that, Li Shan took a step back, pointed to his slightly swollen dark circles, and proved to Ding Li with a wry smile: "See? I've been seven or eight days in a row, and one day is no more than three hours off! ”

"Hahaha! Brother Li, you can really laugh! This business is good, so why don't you hurry up and make more money! Ding Li smiled and waved his hand, but his eyes stayed on the mounts of the dart masters on both sides of the convoy, and asked with a frowning and puzzled: "Brother Li, you, why are you equipped with crossbows?" Or is it in plain sight? Can this also pass the cross-examination? ”

"Hey, hey! Isn't that also your credit? Li Shan smiled mysteriously, took out a folded paper from his arms a little proudly, and pulled Ding Li to explain in detail while unfolding it: "See? The Great Seal of the Jiedu House! It is all the help of the Zhang family and the last time General Yang, the road has not been smooth recently, our Miao dart bureau is now not just a group of dart masters, by the degree of the degree of Li Da valued, specially made an exception to equip us with thirty short crossbows, and has planned to choose the right time to select some people to be incorporated into General Yang's command, if you encounter the wandering thieves and bandits along the way, you can also go to light gong mile! ”

Ding Li was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that in just over half a month, Zhang Mingzhi and Yang Hongwen were not idle, and what was even more unexpected was that he had inadvertently pulled the strings at the beginning, and let Miao's dart game use it so well: "Oh? Under the command of General Yang, wouldn't it become the personal guard of Jiedu Mansion in the future? That's a good job! Generally, you don't have to work hard, there are still a lot of money, and there are many opportunities for promotion! ”

"No, that's not it! We haven't had a chance to become the guards of the Jiedu Mansion yet! Li Shan shook his head, but his face did not show any loneliness, and he was even more excited, his eyes were full of yearning, and he turned his head and glanced at the convoy that had completely left the city, and then continued to explain to Ding Li: "However, thank you very much, Ali!" Because General Yang is not in Jiedu Mansion now, but under the order of Li Jiedu, he is preparing to build a thousand-person bandit army in the near future, and it is precisely like this that General Yang spoke for us in front of Li Jiedu, and he can give a quota of thirty people! You must know that to suppress bandits is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and there is much less danger in suppressing bandits than going to the battlefield, and the chances of meritorious service and promotion are actually greater! ”

"Indeed, after all, it is only a thief army wandering on the battlefield in the east, if it is well-trained, it will not flow here!" Ding Li smiled and nodded, Li Shan's analysis was indeed good, although he was risking casualties, but the future was indeed much better.

Seeing that the convoy had begun to officially march, Li Shan said to Ding Li: "Ali, let's go, say while walking, this time there are many people and heavy goods, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time on the road, so it is better to delay some time, so as not to get to Fuxu Town after the sky is dark!" ”

"Well, good!" Ding Li nodded, just turned around and grabbed Li Shan, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, come, introduce a friend to you!" ”

"Heizi, come here, let me introduce you, this is Brother Li Shan Li of the Miao Dart Bureau! Now he often escorts caravans to our Zhang Chamber of Commerce! Ding Li beckoned to the sunspot who was taking care of the mount behind, and introduced the two to each other with a smile: "Brother Li, this is the sunspot!" ”

"Brother Li, don't come unharmed!" To Ding Li's surprise, Heizi looked at Li Shan with a meaningful smile, but he gave his hand very politely.

Seeing this, Li Shan hurriedly smiled and hugged his fists in return, but after seeing the sunspot clearly, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You, you are a sunspot crossbow?" ”
