On the mountain road leading to Kaifeng Mansion, Chen Ran and Zheng Darttou advanced with the dart team.

The team was very short, Chen Ran and Zheng Darthead were both wearing strong suits, Chen Ran was riding a horse, and Zheng Darthead was riding a donkey. He was followed by three men pulling mule carts.

Chen Ran's horse is the face of the dart game, and Zheng Dart's donkey is to save money.

The mule carts in the back were loaded with goods and built on linen, which were all silk cloth entrusted to them by their employers to be sent to Kaifeng Province.

The mule cart is very old, and it squeaks as it walks along the mountain road.

"The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are sophisticated. You must understand this truth. ”

Zheng Dart held a cigarette pouch in his hand, and while competing with the stubborn donkey that stepped down, he taught Chen Ran earnestly: "It stands to reason that if we go to the dart, we will pass by a sect, go up to give some gifts, and make a point, and this road will go smoothly in the future, which is a common thing for us to walk the dart."

But there are some sects, you really can't make friends with people. For example, the Shaolin Temple is a big faction, we are really too far wrong with them.

The biggest dart game in our town, the Pegasus dart game, you know. Their chief dart leader, Ma Ruliang, is known as the multi-armed boxing champion. Don't say it's in our Erlang Town. Even the entire Zhongzhou is famous. His mentor was also a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple. Under such a relationship, he wanted to make friends with Shaolin Temple, but he couldn't get on the list. You said that you rushed to Shaolin Temple, and you still want to enter the mountain gate, can you please go? ”

Chen Ran sighed and said, "Uncle Zheng, along the way, you have told me about this eight hundred times. ”

"I just want to tell you, it's a fluke that you can walk down Shaomu Mountain this time, and you must not be so willful in the future. Let's just go honest and make friends with some local gentry and green forest bandits, and it's enough for us to survive......"

Chen Ran didn't want to listen to Zheng Dart's nagging, so he changed the topic and said, "Uncle Zheng, how much money can we make on this trip." ”

Zheng Dangtou already knew about this kind of business matter, and said eloquently: "When we came out of Luoyang City, we brought silk cloth and five thousand taels of silver. According to the commission, you can probably get two hundred taels. When they arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the semicolon of the employer, Boss Xue, would send some mountain goods and cotton cloth back. It's about a hundred taels. This time back and forth, the net profit was three hundred taels. Excluding our round-trip travel expenses and accommodation and accommodation, there are probably about two hundred and fifty taels left. ”

"Sounds like it's okay." Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction.

In order to obtain energy points, he used to take about twenty taels of medicine every month. He originally thought that this kind of expense was quite a loser, and it was not easy for his father to support himself.

But now that he can earn two hundred and fifty taels on this trip, Chen Ran suddenly felt that he was still too conservative before, and it seems that the medicine supplement in the future will be doubled.

If you eat it doubled, maybe the energy points will already be enough for the points required by the Yi Jin Sutra.

However, I heard Zheng Dangtou continue: "These two hundred and fifty taels are just accounts on the surface. In fact, it may be less than fifty taels in your hand, and you may even lose money. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Chen Ran was a little puzzled.

Zheng Dangtou sighed lightly and said, "Shaodongjia, do you know how many mountains and how many waterways you have to pass through from Luoyang to Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Ran shook his head.

"Out of Luoyang, through Dengfeng Shaolin, through Micheng, arrived at Zheng County, to Zhongmu. Finally, there is the opening of the seal. During this period, you have to pass through five mountains and dangerous beaches, all of which are occupied by forces, and whenever you pass through one place, you must prepare silver to pay for it. The minimum is twenty taels, and the maximum is fifty taels. Zheng Dart's tone was full of helplessness.

"Good fellows." When Chen Ran heard this, he was suddenly a little stunned: "Then our two hundred and fifty taels of profits are not enough to fight those bandits?" ”

Zheng Dangtou said: "There are some mountains where we often have filial piety during the New Year's holidays, and they will not beat our ideas." Some weak hills won't provoke our dart game. I'm afraid, those new bandits who have just gained momentum and don't follow the rules have annoyed them, and maybe even the goods they have guaranteed will be swallowed by you. ”

"Then according to Uncle Zheng's statement, let's keep a fart dart, and if we accidentally fold the goods in, we have to pay the employer." Chen Ran didn't have a good airway.

Zheng Dangtou shook his head and said: "It's still the same sentence, the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are sophisticated." Bandit fires and that kind of situation are still rare. Most of the dart games only need to have a good relationship with those bandits, just as they are the level of tax extraction. Therefore, the young owner should remember that the most important thing for us to eat this bowl of rice is not to practice martial arts, but to do a good job in the favor of the three rivers and five mountains, which is more important than anything else. ”

When Chen Ran heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zheng, I don't agree with your words. What if they practiced martial arts to the point that the strength of these bandits was completely crushed? Wouldn't that be able to solve them all once and for all? ”

Zheng Dangtou turned his head, looked at Chen Ran with caring eyes, and said: "There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in these mountains. Which dart game can take them all? The monks of Shaolin Temple are about the same. But they are so decent and look at the entire rivers and lakes, who will care about these mountain bandits? This kind of thing must not be said again in the future. ”

The two men chatted casually, and the convoy moved slowly.

When he reached a mountain road, Zheng Dangtou on the side suddenly whispered: "Shaodong, this place has reached the scope of Qinglong Village. That Dazhai advocates that the dragon is a horizontal kung fu, and you need to be careful. ”

Chen Ran looked at the lofty mountains in front of him, only to see that the mountain roads were dangerous and the dense forests were long, and it was indeed a very dangerous place.

"This Qinglong Zhai Zhang Long, do you have a relationship with us?" Chen Ran said softly.

saw Zheng Dart head shook his head, and said in a low voice: "He thinks that our Changlin Dart Bureau is not qualified enough, and he doesn't have a friendship with us." If you are unlucky, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, it is estimated that you will have to send out fifty taels of tolls. ”

"Fifty taels?!" Chen Ran was suddenly a little surprised.

TNND。

It's too dark, isn't it?

After entering the mountain road, Zheng Darttou and the five guys behind him all woke up, holding the waist knife in their right hand, and their thumbs buckled at the hilt, ready at any time.

As the team slowly marched, they turned a corner, and suddenly saw about seven or eight men in strong suits surrounding a carriage on the mountain road not far away.

Not far from the carriage, a man in a fancy costume lay on the ground, his body stiffened, and there was a pool of blood underneath, apparently dead.

Next to the corpse, a woman was holding a doll and crying bitterly, Jiang Qing noticed that the doll was also full of blood, and she didn't cry when she was hugged tightly by her mother, obviously she was also more than lucky.

And the big men around the carriage, led by a tall man, dressed in an azure forged robe, looked very gorgeous, but his hair was messy, his beard was as messy as weeds, and there was a line of boss's scars on his cheeks, and his overall temperament was vulgar, which was extremely incommensurate with the clothes he was wearing.

The big men gathered around the carriage, watching the woman cry so sadly, with flirtatious and teasing smiles on their faces.

Obviously, this was the scene of a crime where mountain bandits robbed money and killed people. The victim should be a family of three, and the current survivor is only one woman.

Zheng Dangtou turned his head and whispered to Chen Ran: "Shaodong, the bearded man in front of you is the Zhai Zhulong. ”

At this time, the bandit leader named Zhang Long had already noticed the arrival of Chen Ran and his party, and shouted: "Hey, in front, whose team is it?" ”

"Luoyang City Chen's family, Changxing Dart Bureau." Zheng Dart head greeted loudly.

He gently patted Chen Ran's shoulder, signaling him to rest assured, and then stepped forward, holding the cigarette pouch in one hand, and arched his hand: "Lao Zheng, in the Xia Changxing Dart Bureau, I have seen Zhang Da in charge." ”

The dragon squinted at Zheng Dart's head, rubbed the two big golden galls in his hand, and said: "Lao Tzu easily doesn't go down the mountain, and when you get off the mountain, you will meet your Changxing Dart Bureau, but there is a fate." ”

"Yes, yes. It's really fateful. Zheng Dangtou stepped forward and said with a smile: "The owner often says that Zhang Da is a brave man, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

As he spoke, Zheng Dangtou took out a silver ingot of fifty taels from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Long's hand.

Zhang Long threw away the ingots in his hand and grinned: "It's also sensible." Let's go over, don't disturb Lao Tzu's interest. ”

With a wave of his hand, he asked the bandits to make way for the dart team.
