Chapter 209: The Bandits Are Coming
In the pre-Qin period, the hundred schools of thought would carry out big debates in various academic palaces and advocate their own doctrines, but since the Qin unified the six countries, the people of the country have stopped debating, because no matter how good you can speak, it is useless, everyone believes in the knife handle, saying that it doesn't matter if you don't matter, you will be eliminated physically. No matter how hard it is, it will not work, and in the end, it will still have to come out of the barrel of a gun.
When the language is not spoken, you are the master of the language, and when the words are spoken, you are the slave of the language, and you are responsible for it. Therefore, the ancient Chinese admired "simplicity" and "sayings", and if a person is evaluated as "good at argumentation", it is by no means a good reputation.
For some reason, when the Chinese people mention the debate, their first reaction is "sophistry", such as Gongsun Long's "white horses are not horses", or the ethereal talk of the Jin Dynasty.
This is really a bit biased and does not conform to the consistent spirit of "moderation" of the Chinese people. Just as when you say "freedom", you immediately think of killing and setting fire to freedom, and you also put forward the specious argument that "your freedom is the unfreedom of others".
Therefore, in Han culture, there is either "rhetoric" or "sophistry", anyway, there is no concept of "logic", which is a transliteration of words, a foreign product.
Even in judicial prison, there is no need for logic and reasoning, do you need a reason to sentence the death penalty and the baht nine clans? "Belly slander" and "unwarranted" are not enough!
If it weren't for these three scholars insulting Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Long wouldn't have bothered to waste saliva with them. He also ate and drank enough, and no longer bothered with them, like the shopkeeper asked for two rooms, one for him and Lu Zhishen, one for Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang and Lu Fang, and the two rooms were next door.
But soon he regretted it, Lu Zhishen snored like thunder, he tossed and turned in bed, and couldn't sleep at all.
He decided to reopen a room, so he put on his boots, pushed the door out, closed it again, and went downstairs.
At this time, about the second watch, the night was very cold, the shopkeeper and the guys went to sleep, there was a glass lamp in the lobby, and there was only one guy on duty, put the table together, spread the cover on the table, and sleep with his head in his arms.
Zhu Long was about to call him, when he suddenly heard a whisper from behind the stairs, and listened carefully with bated breath.
I only heard one person: "The owners of the village will enter the town tonight, but there are not many fat sheep in the store tonight!" A poor scholar and five big men have no goods, only those three scholars have brought a lot of goods, and I don't know how many village owners are dissatisfied. ”
"I can't care so much, I don't want to be a buddy here anymore, I'm called and drunk every day, I can't stand this bird's anger!"
"What's the matter, when I left, I cut down the bird's shopkeeper with a knife, and burned down this urine shop, so I won't have it."
"Great idea! Let's go out the back door and greet a few village owners! ”
……
Zhu Long didn't expect that there were bandits in the store, he decided to follow to have a look, but he didn't have a knife on his body, and he wanted to go upstairs to get it, but he was afraid that it would be too late, so he had to follow the two black shadows empty-handed, out of the small door behind the stairs, through the courtyard, and then out through the back door next to a row of small houses.
There are many houses, alleys and forks in the road, and the two bandits are very familiar with the road, and Zhu Long almost lost them when they turned around.
Suddenly, I came to the exit of the town, the two spies were hiding in the shadow of the big tree on the side of the road, and Zhu Long was hiding behind the corner of a house.
After an hour, Zhu Long's hands and feet froze, and suddenly a group of figures ran over from outside the town, about a hundred people.
"The big village master, the second village master, the third village master, the six village masters, you are here, please come with the small one!" The two thieves nodded their heads.
"Quick! Lead the way! ”
The night was dark, and Zhu Long couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but he felt that there was a figure that was somewhat familiar.
After the thieves left, Zhu Long came out of the back of the house and ran all the way down the street, preparing to take a shortcut back to the inn. But he was not familiar with the town, and it was dark at night, so he couldn't even see the plaque on the door, so he couldn't find the inn.
He was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, and scolded himself for being a fool.
He still knew the general direction, and walked around the area, pricking up his ears to listen.
Finally, he saw a glimmer of fire coming out of a house - the bandits had succeeded! They started setting fires!
He hurriedly rushed over and slammed the inn door hard, but the door was so strong that it couldn't be opened for a while.
"Open the door! Open the door! There are bandits! It's on fire! He banged on the door, but there was a scream from inside.
He was even more anxious, very worried about Lu Zhishen and the others, and suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper helped them lead the horse through the courtyard door next to him, and hurriedly ran over, the courtyard wall was more than a zhang high, about four meters. Zhu Long ran up, grabbed the wall with both hands, and flipped in.
The courtyard was full of bandits, and when they saw Zhu Long coming in from outside the wall, they were all stunned, stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and they all rushed over with knives and guns.
Although Zhu Long is brave, but against so many bandits with his bare hands, he will definitely die under the chaotic knife, looking left and right, and saw a wooden pillar behind the door, one foot in diameter and one zhang long.
Zhu Long picked up the wooden pillar, twisted his waist, moved under his feet, his body rotated like a spinning top, and the wooden pillar swept away like a windmill, and the bandits who rushed up swept away.
"Come on!" A broad-robed man rushed over with a sword, but before he could get close, suddenly with a flick of his hand, a meteor hammer went straight to Zhulong and attacked!
Zhu Long suddenly took off the wooden pillar and pushed it in the direction of the big man, the wooden pillar hit the meteor hammer, and then ran towards the big man, the big man hurriedly dodged, but he couldn't dodge it and was hit on the shoulder.
"Brother!" A bandit head
^0^ Remember for a second
The leader shouted eagerly, carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd rushed over, the minions set fire to the building, the fire was already burning very strong, through the light of the fire, Zhu Long and the bandit leader both saw each other's appearances clearly, and they were all surprised.
"Zhulong?"
"Guo Sheng?"
It turned out that this bandit holding Fang Tian's halberd turned out to be Guo Sheng, who had defected.
Guo Sheng was very jealous of Zhu Long, and hurriedly picked up the man in the wide robe and said, "Brother, let's go quickly!" ”
"Brother, avenge me!" The man in the wide robe was not convinced.
"He's Zhulong!"
"Huh?" The broad-robed man was taken aback and said, "Quickly retreat!" ”
After that, the broad-robed man and Guo Sheng ran away from the back door with the minions in the courtyard, and when Zhu Long looked at the stable, the war horses of himself and others and the carriages of the scholars were taken away.
Zhu Long can't take care of the horse, he just wants to save people now!
He rushed into the inn, where the tables, chairs, and benches were on fire, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol, apparently the thieves had broken the wine in the inn and set it on fire.
The man on duty fell in a pool of blood on the ground, the fire had already burned on him, Zhu Long pulled him into the courtyard, and he found that the shopkeeper and the men had come out of the row of houses in the back, fetching water to put out the fire.
Zhu Long rushed into the inn again, stepped on the burning stairs, went up to the second floor, and found that there was a fight in the corridor, and more than a dozen bandits were blocked at the end of the corridor by Lu Zhishen, Bian Xiang and others, and they were abused miserably. And Shi Wengong and Lu Fang were looking for Zhu Long from room to room, their faces full of anxiety.
"I'm here!" Zhu Long said loudly. Lu Fang and the others were immediately overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Long ordered: "Leave them alone, let's go quickly, there's a fire below!" ”
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, everyone also knows that the fire and smoke below have come up, if it weren't for looking for him, Lu Zhishen and the others would have rushed down a long time ago.
The three scholars and their entourage all came out of the room, they had already heard the movement outside, and they were too frightened to come out, and they hurriedly came out when they heard Zhu Long say that it was hot!
"Let's go! Come on! The scholar surnamed Zhou urged loudly, and as soon as he ran to the staircase, he was blocked back by the fire.
"Jump!" Zhu Long shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes! We jumped off the building! They went into a room, opened the window, and the servants jumped down first, then the three scholars jumped cautiously, and the servants caught them below.
In fact, I don't blame them for being timid, the building is still quite tall, from the window to the ground is close to two feet, more than five meters high.
"Leave them alone, let's jump too!" Zhu Long said loudly.
There were still four or five minions left, but the flames had already reached the second floor, and the floor under their feet was also wooden, so it was really not suitable to stay for long.
Lu Zhishen glared at the minions fiercely, put down the cruel words and said, "If you have the ability, don't come down!" ”
After that, they followed Zhu Long into the room next to them, and were the first to step on the windowsill and jump down.
Then sweep away the clutter next to you and keep watch on the side.
Bian Xiang and Shi Wengong then jumped down, Zhu Long was about to jump, suddenly a little girl's scream sounded outside, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly rushed out, and the five bandit minions rushed into the room at the end of the corridor.
This room faces the street, the window is directly open to the street, these minions were threatened by Lu Zhishen, they didn't dare to jump into the backyard, they could only jump into the street to escape.
But I didn't expect that there was someone in this house, and when I banged on the door, a little girl's screams came from inside.
They knocked open the door and found a middle-aged scribe and a little girl standing in the corner, sword in both hands, pointing at the bandits, and protecting the little girl behind them.
The bandits were bloodthirsty and brutal, and they were not in a hurry to flee for their lives, but they rushed up to slash and kill the father and daughter, in their opinion, it was like pinching two ants to death, it didn't make much sense, but they got used to it.
The scribe resisted desperately, where was the opponent of a few bandits, but the protector was eager and dared to fight to the death, and only supported a few rounds.
A figure rushed in, like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, rushed behind the bandits, carrying a chair in his hand, and slammed it on his wheel!
Bang!
A thief's head blossomed and fell to the ground, the chair was also torn apart, and Zhu Long held two chair handles in his hands.
The thieves were shocked, and when they turned around, Zhu Long had already inserted two chair handles into their stomachs, then let go, hurriedly retreated, and grabbed a basin stand casually.
But he didn't need it, Lu Fang rushed in, drew his knife and slashed, and the remaining two thieves quickly solved it!
Smoke billowed in the corridor, Zhu Long glanced out the window, this place is facing the street, compared to the backyard, there are a few more steps in height, Zhu Long and Lu Fang have no problem, but the middle-aged scribe and the little girl are obviously not good.
"Thank you two for saving lives!" The middle-aged scribe stepped forward to thank him.
"It's not enough to worry about it!" Zhu Long pointed out the window and asked, "Can you jump?" ”
The middle-aged scribe picked up a "rope" from the bed, it turned out that when Lu Zhishen and the thieves were fighting at the door of his room just now, he was blocked in the room and could not escape, so he tore the sheets and made an escape rope.
Zhu Long was not verbose, and said to Lu Fang: "You jump down first, and follow them below!" ”
Lu Fang didn't say a word, stepped on the chair, stood on the windowsill, threw Fang Tian's halberd down first, and then jumped down by himself.
"This brother, I'm pulling the sheets, please hold on to the sheets with both hands and slide down slowly!" Zhu Long said to the middle-aged scribe.
The middle-aged scribe shook his head and said, "Put my daughter down first!" ”
"No way!" Zhu Long vetoed: "The sheet is only one zhang, not long enough, I will put it down one zhang and add it."
^0^ Remember for a second
With your feet not too high off the ground, you can jump! But Ling Yuan can't do it, after I put it in Yizhang, I have to let go, you have to continue below. ”
"Good!" The middle-aged scribe nodded helplessly, touched his daughter's head, and comforted: "Jing'er, don't be afraid, Dad will go down first, and I will pick you up below!" ”
The little girl was very sensible, nodded vigorously, and said with concern: "Dad, you have to be careful!" ”
Zhu Long saw such a cute and sensible little girl, and suddenly wanted Lin Chuman to give birth to a daughter for himself.
Zhu Long grabbed the end of the bed sheet and hung it outside, and the middle-aged scribe grabbed the bed sheet and slowly slipped down
Zhu Long put the sheet up, tied it around the little girl's waist, and told him to hold on to the sheet with both hands, seeing that the little girl's face was white and seemed to be very nervous, he comforted: "Little sister, don't be afraid, your father and uncle will pick you up below!" ”
"With Daddy here, I'm not afraid!" The little girl opened her eyes and pretended to be strong.
"That's good! What's your name? ”
"My name is Wen Jing!"
"Wen Jing, good name, Wen Wen Jing good girl!"
"It's a smell of heard!" The little girl corrected seriously.
"That's even better, although my ears smell a lot of sounds, but my heart is still calm, I don't like things and don't feel sorry for myself, if I can do it, it will be amazing!"
The little girl covered her mouth and smiled: "My father said the same thing, my uncle is the same as what my father said, you must be a very learned person!" ”
Zhu Long touched his nose, and asked his soul in his heart: Am I knowledgeable?
"Hold on" Zhu Long slowly put down the little girl Wen Jing, but the sheet was not long enough, and it was still a foot high from the ground, and the sheet came to an end, and Lu Fang and the middle-aged scribe raised their arms, which was still a little close.
But there were many neighbors who came to help put out the fire, and more than a dozen people were below, Zhu Long let go, and the little girl was caught steadily.
Zhu Long looked at the corpses in the room, and threw them from the window one by one, and the people below screamed in fright.
Then Zhu Long stood on the windowsill, jumped up, spread his arms, swung in the air, the phoenix puffed up his clothes, like a big bird with wings spread, he landed on tiptoes, bent his knees, squatted, and the impact of the landing was all dissolved, and then stood up calmly.
The middle-aged scribe walked over quickly, bowed to him deeply, and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving the lives of Wen Huanzhang and the little girl, dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?" ”
"You, are you Wen Huanzhang?" Zhu Long was taken aback.
Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
