Volume 3 Vertical and Horizontal Donglu Chapter 168 Attracting Bandits
In the dilapidated houses, a group of big men formed a circle.
"Big brother, since those birdmen came, there are fewer passers-by in this vicinity, and if this continues, everyone will drink the northwest wind!"
"Yes, the brethren haven't smelled meat in a long time. Why don't we run away? ”
"A good man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, big brother!"
This group of men said a word to me, and complained to the eldest brother led by you. The man at the head was not strong, and even a little thin, but he was extremely righteous, and all the brothers respected him.
"It's really not a way to go on like this, you say, where are we going?" The eldest brother who took the lead asked everyone what they thought.
The men came up with ideas, some said to go to Nanhuai, some said to go to Dingliao, and there were different opinions, but the same thing was: Donglu really can't stay!
While everyone was discussing, a young man came running outside the door, about thirteen or fourteen years old: "Big brother, big brother, come to trade." One man and one woman! ”
The eldest brother stood up with a "rubbing", and the bench was overturned to the ground: "There are old melons?" More or less? ”
"Huh? Old melon? The boy scratched his head, not understanding.
A strong man next to him slapped him on the back of the head: "It's silver, why can't you remember it!" ”
"Ah, there is! Yes! I took a look at it, and there are a lot of silver tickets! The little boy hurriedly reported.
"Let's go!"
The eldest brother waved his arms, and dozens of men inside and outside the house were overjoyed when they heard this, and everyone followed behind the eldest brother with a smile, just two people, and a lot of silver tickets, which was simply a free gift.
On the official road not far away, Guan Chenzi and Xue Mang kept their distance, and the two of them almost occupied the official road on the left and right, if it weren't for the Taoist robe on Guan Chenzi's body that was too conspicuous, the two of them looked like a little couple who were angry.
"Are you coming?" Guan Chenzi asked Xue Mang.
Xue Mang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Here we are, there are dozens of them." ”
"That's good." Guan Chenzi nodded.
"Senior Sister Guanchenzi, although Zhenyang Mountain does not specialize in numerology, but also knows some gossip techniques, you don't do divination on weekdays?" Xue Mang asked curiously.
Guan Chenzi chuckled and said, "Since it has long been doomed, what's the use of cultivating?" If not... What's the use of repairing? ”
Xue Mang was dumbfounded, and then smiled bitterly: "Haha, senior sister, I can't talk about you, Zhenyang Mountain is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..."
Guan Chenzi's smile suddenly fell: "Here, this is the third batch today." ”
"Well, the more people, the better, senior sister, let's go, let them follow, and then go to the next one!"
Xue Mang and Guan Chenzi performed light skills, and the next moment, they were already a hundred steps away.
"Big brother, these little two are running too fast, they haven't crossed this fork just now, why did they run to the front in this instant?" The little boy scratched his head.
The eldest brother who took the lead turned his head back, and the younger brother understood, patted the horse and rushed back, and after a while, he patted the horse and rushed back: "Big brother, that's right, the people of the Tiger Roar Gang are following behind!" ”
"Hmph, I knew that! Half a month to produce such a piece of fat, the neighborhood must be staring at it! Chase, don't let the duck fly to the beak! After the eldest brother finished speaking, the horse took the lead in chasing out, and a group of younger brothers followed behind.
Yi Xiaodao's clever plan at night was to "lure" the tiger to devour the wolf, so that Xue Mang and Guan Chenzi deliberately revealed their money near Richeng, and induced the surrounding bandits to take action, leading all the bandits to Richeng, causing riots, and finally fishing in troubled waters again.
Xue Mang was also worried that Yi Xiaodao's "all the belongings" were too shabby, and the nearby mountain kings couldn't look down on it, who knew that because of Wanyanzong, the people of Richeng could escape and go, and the nearby bandits had already broken off, and at this time, they didn't care about the meat and meat, and they rushed over.
Xue Mang and Guan Chenzi attracted bandits everywhere outside the city, but Yi Xiaodao was alone, and he came to the outside of the city early in the morning.
Richeng was no longer guarded, and when the county officials fled, they took with them a large number of yamen soldiers, and the rest were unwilling to leave their homeland, so they left the yamen and went home one after another.
Yi Xiaodao found a hat in a family outside the city, put it on his head, rolled up his trouser legs, stepped on a foot of mud, pretended to be a farmer, and walked towards the city humming a song.
"Little doll, what are you doing here? Where's your mom and dad? As soon as Yi Xiaodao entered Richeng, he saw a little girl about six or seven years old, biting her fingers and standing by the door.
"There's an uncle... Gave me sugar and let me be here... et al. The little girl was a little shy, but she still answered Yi Xiaodao's question.
Yi Xiaodao smiled kindly: "Who are you waiting for?" Go home, how dangerous it is to be out there alone. ”
The little girl tilted her head and said in a milky voice, "Wait... Well... It's called Yi Xiaodao. ”
Yi Xiaodao's smile suddenly froze on his face, he was stunned for a moment, squatted down and asked, "Wait for Yi Xiaodao?" What are you waiting for him to do? ”
The little girl looked at Yi Xiaodao and didn't speak, Yi Xiaodao took out a bag of dry food from his arms, grabbed a big cake and said to the little girl: "You tell my brother, is it okay for my brother to give you a cake?" ”
The little girl took her fingers out of her mouth, tried to reach out and retracted them, and wiped them on her clothes: "Good! That uncle asked me to say to Yi Xiaodao, 'Go back quickly, don't suffer from unwarranted disasters'!" After speaking, his eyes were fixed on the big cake in Yi Xiaodao's hand.
Yi Xiaodao muttered to himself: "Hurry up and go back, don't suffer from unwarranted disasters..."
"Brother, cake," said the little girl timidly.
Yi Xiaodao came back to his senses at this time, handed the flatbread to the little girl, and smiled softly: "Go home quickly, I am Yi Xiaodao, and your words have been brought." ”
The little girl looked up at Yi Xiaodao, her big eyes blinked, and when she saw that Yi Xiaodao didn't seem to be lying, she nodded her head vigorously: "Hmm!" I'm gone, brother! ”
Yi Xiaodao looked at the little girl who was jumping and running away, and hesitated in his heart.
"You knew I was coming? These sects that specialize in occult arts are really good at pretending to be ghosts, are they really there something wrong or do they want me to retreat? ”
Yi Xiaodao stood alone by the city gate and pondered for a long time, but he didn't have a clue, but fortunately, there were no pedestrians at the city gate at this time, and he was not obtrusive.
"No matter what, you can't be scared back by someone else's words." Yi Xiaodao stiffened his head and walked towards the middle of the city.
After walking for a while, there were more pedestrians on the street, but compared to the city gate, it was still very few for other towns.
"Excuse me... Where is the yamen? Yi Xiaodao stopped a man with a hoe.
"Yamen? Why are you going there? The county commander is gone. The man said that he was about to leave.
Yi Xiaodao stopped the man again, and asked knowingly: "Big brother, why is this county commander not here?" I came to find the county commander to comment.,I live outside the city.,It's a little biased.,So I don't know the situation in the city.。 A few days ago, a lot of people came to Zhuangzi, forced us to work, and beat people, I came to sue the official! ”
"Sue the officer? Oh, you can't sue this official! Those are the people of Wanyanzong, and the county commander was driven away by them, and you still sue the official? The man smiled contemptuously, not knowing whether to laugh at the incompetence of the county order or at the "ignorance" of Yi Xiaodao.
"The county commander has driven away? Who is this Wanyan Sect helping? Yi Xiaodao asked in surprise.
"What kind of platform are they going to build, saying that it is for us to live a good life, but they are not paid for their work, and they also rob all the food in the city, and they say that it is distributed uniformly, isn't this nonsense? My family's forty catties of grain were handed over, and they were exchanged for twenty catties, where do you say this will let me go..."The man suddenly kept silent and left in a hurry.
Yi Xiaodao was puzzled, and an old man wearing a simple linen dress and carrying a sword behind him walked quickly to Yi Xiaodao's side: "Yi Xiaodao? ”
Yi Xiaodao saw that the old man was carrying a sword behind his back, and he broke himself in one mouthful, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly: "No, I'm a farmer from an unknown Zhuangzi outside the city, I..."
"Heh, you're not Yi Xiaodao, how do you know that Yi Xiaodao is a personal name?" The old man pointed out the flaw in Yi Xiaodao's words.
Yi Xiaodao saw that he couldn't hide it, grabbed the hat on his head and threw it at the old man, turned around and ran away.
The old man flicked his sleeves lightly, and the hat was brushed aside by the old man before he got close: "Hmph, what a cunning boy!" See what else you can do? ”
Yi Xiaodao was afraid that the old man would chase after him, so he ran from the city to the city gate in one breath, holding on to the sign on the side of the city and panting: "It's so dangerous, I was almost caught..."
"If I really want to arrest you, you won't be able to get to this city gate, Wanyanzong Douqin, send off Master Yi." On the city wall, a middle-aged woman dressed in red, her appearance is also pretty, and her charm is still there, sitting cross-legged on the wall, overlooking Yi Xiaodao under the city gate.
Yi Xiaodao saw that he was completely exposed, and he was immediately deflated. The news was not found at all, and his whereabouts were still well known to the other party, and he was chased around like a street rat.
"The heroine is so good-looking, let's discuss, don't lock the dragon qi, okay?" Yi Xiaodao raised his head and asked.
"Don't worry about what you shouldn't be doing." Dou Qin replied coldly.
Yi Xiaodao still didn't give up: "Dragon qi is this thing, yes, no one can tell, but heaven and earth are generated, there must be a reason, manpower can't go against the sky!" Going against the sky is not in line with the purpose of your sect, isn't it..."
Dou Qin seemed to have received an order a long time ago not to make a move on Yi Xiaodao, no matter how Yi Xiaodao chattered, he just ignored it, and his eyebrows were wrinkled deeper and deeper.
Yi Xiaodao raised his head and chattered for a long time, seeing that the woman didn't care, he had no choice but to rub his sore neck, and muttered: "It's really playing the piano to the cow..."
Dou Qin noticed that Yi Xiaodao was leaving, so Xiu Mei stretched out, stood up on the city wall, glanced at Richeng, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he walked down the stairs down the city wall.
As soon as he walked down the city wall, he saw Yi Xiaodao running towards the city shouting: "It's over, it's over!" How did I forget this stubble, woman, run! ”
Dou Qin saw Yi Xiaodao rushing wildly, and before he could stop him, he passed by him, and ran away with a smoke.
"This kid... What kind of wind is pumped? Dou Qin was puzzled, and was about to get up to chase after him, but he heard the horses' hooves outside the city.
Dou Qin looked back at the outside of the city, the black pressure was overwhelming, rushing from a distance, all kinds of horses, all kinds of decorations, and even a few of them were shirtless.
"This is..."Dou Qin took a closer look, only to find that these were all gangsters in the neighborhood, and there were many people she still knew...
"Stop!" Dou Qin flew back to the city wall, "What are you doing here!?" ”
In response to Dou Qin, he shouted and scolded: "Big guy chase me, don't let this piece of fat run away!" ”
"You're too unkind to kill the whales! Relying on the strength of the crowd, these two people also want to rob? ”
"The wolves aren't a good thing either! And put horse nails on the road! Today there is you without me! ”
This large group of bandits shouted at each other to rush to the gate of Sun City, and in front of the group of bandits, a man and a woman were carrying light skills and trying their best to hurry.
"How can you attract so many!" Guan Chenzi said angrily.
"Yi Daren's whole body belongings... It's too valuable..."Xue Mang smiled bitterly.
