Chapter Ninety-Five: Zhang Bandit's Big Move
Liu Yifeng knew that the "sleeping on the street" in the mouth of the shopkeeper Wang was not groundless, because they would sleep on the street if they didn't get it right today.
"Master, I have a room over there, and my deposit has been paid, so you can go there tonight." Nikantu said flatteringly: "Let's find a place to deal with it for one night." ”
It's such an exaggeration, a city that can accommodate 50,000 people, almost 20 inns, and they only found one vacant room. This was just when Ni Kantu went to check out, and he quickly threw the silver ingot on the counter to grab it.
Liu Yifeng didn't care where he slept at night, for a long time after that, they were likely to sleep in the open, and they would warm up by sleeping on the street in advance, he was just worried that it would be dangerous if there was no place to put those supplies.
After praising Ni Kantu's cleverness, Liu Yifeng asked Feng Shuo and Li Hongji, the two people with the highest combat effectiveness, to live in the inn with the fire gun, and by the way, he also brought the only horse over, and the inn had supporting facilities to take care of the horses.
"Let's go, let's get out of town."
Liu Yifeng's plan to find a place to sleep outside the city was not a whim, but a kind suggestion from others when looking for an inn during the day. There were already countless tents outside Jinshan City, and these were all people who couldn't find a place to stay in the city.
Most of them were explorers, who squandered all their savings and came to Jinshan City with the dream of getting rich, but when they ran out of entanglements, they didn't find anything of value.
They currently live outside the city, doing odd jobs every day, or expecting new merchants and other explorers to hire them.
Liu Yifeng's group knew at a glance that they were newcomers, they were neatly dressed and clean, and they were completely fresh, so they immediately surrounded them.
Jin Chengyou and Ao Bai were a little nervous, because almost all of these people were Han Chinese, and they all looked quite capable of fighting, and their temperament was very similar to Feng Shuo.
This is also a common denominator of the explorers in Dongshan Prefecture: most of them are reckless people from the Central Plains.
After the establishment of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, the Central Plains suddenly became much stricter in the management of the reckless people in the rivers and lakes, and many reckless people in the rivers and lakes who were forced by the government to do nothing either simply joined the Northern Army after the reform of the border army of the Nine Towns, or followed the commercial house to the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.
As long as these two come back alive, they are basically prosperous.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.
Whether it was the retired military leader of the Northern Army, who became a small landlord in exchange for local fields with military merits, or the person who came back from the Protectorate of Annam and became the shopkeeper of a commercial house, it made countless reckless people who were given a headache by the increasingly strict management of the government shine in their eyes and find a way out.
The appearance of Dongshan Prefecture made these reckless people sell everything they could sell without any hesitation and came to Dongshan Prefecture.
The plain where the city is located was discovered by these explorers.
"Shopkeeper, I, I'm a dart master in the Central Plains!"
"I'm from the Wu-Tang Clan!"
"Ahh
"Come on, you, I'm the senior brother of the Huashan faction!"
"I am undefeated in the West!"
"The old beggar gang has eight bags of disciples."
"Get out of the way, you're just a bowl for rice, where did you get the bag?"
"Get out of the way of me, the senior brother of the Kunlun faction is here!"
Although each of these people was dirty and looked like a beggar disciple, they were in a good state of mind. After all, Dongshan Prefecture has a lot of food and is cheap, and it is next to the long coastline, so there is a harvest when you go to catch the sea, and you will not starve to death like the Central Plains.
Liu Yifeng looked at these "beggar disciples" with some curiosity, and found a person who claimed to be a senior disciple of the Huashan faction and asked, "Are you really from the Huashan faction?" ”
Before the man could answer, the people next to him began to coax: "He bullshit Huashan faction, his hometown Dengzhou, he doesn't even know where Huashan is." ”
The "Senior Brother of the Huashan Sect" suddenly turned red and angry, and everyone laughed.
Another person also loudly dismantled the platform of the "senior brother of the Huashan faction": "He reverted to the surname Linghu, and the surname of Linghu Daxia in "The Legend of Huashan Heroes" told by Mr. Storyteller has always called himself the senior brother of the Huashan faction. ”
Liu Yifeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "The Legend of Huashan Heroes"? What is that Linghu hero called? ”
"Ling Huzhong." The man who was also surnamed Linghu said: "The shopkeeper, I am indeed not a big disciple of the Huashan faction, but they are not Wudang, Shaolin, beggars, Kunlun. ”
Immediately, everyone booed, and the man surnamed Linghu ignored them and continued: "My name is Linghu An, although I am not as powerful as Linghu Daxia, but I am also well-known in the Dengzhou territory, and I can no longer deal with ordinary two or three men." ”
After speaking, he directly took off his single clothes and exposed his upper body.
Although it will be the transition from late autumn to early winter, the temperature at night in Jinshan Castle is also around 10 degrees Celsius, and the stronger men can go without clothes at all.
Liu Yifeng looked at his body, he could only say that it was strong, smiled and said, "It's a good physique for mining." ”
Hearing this, the people surrounding Liu Yifeng immediately walked halfway.
They all came to Dongshan Prefecture as free people, not people. Although I'm very depressed now, I still don't want to do things like mining and digging mountains that only people can do.
If it was half a year ago, they didn't have a choice, but now Zhang Bandit is becoming more and more rampant, and there are more people who want to hire people to protect their own mining, and this is what they are targeting.
Ling Hu An's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he didn't want to mine. But he really can't stand eating multigrain steamed buns and boiled kelp in white water every day, he wants to eat meat and drink!
So he was ready to struggle again: "This shopkeeper, you should have just arrived in Jinshan City, I don't know that there is a big bandit in our Jinshan City, just like Liangshanbo in the Northern Song Dynasty, they occupy the mountain as the king, and go around plundering the mining firms, if you don't hire some people to protect it, there will be big problems." ”
Before Liu Yifeng could speak, Zheng Zhilong sneered, scooped up the hem of his clothes, and revealed half of the firecracker.
Most of the remaining half of them were gone at once.
This group of people has firearms, then they must know about Zhang Bandit, people don't need a dart master to come prepared, they want a mining coolie.
Ling Hu'an picked up his clothes and put them on silently, and returned to a tattered tent where he could directly see what was inside.
"Let's go." Liu Yifeng turned back to his people and said.
He has no plans to hire people right now.
However, he was very interested in the "Legend of Huashan Heroes" in the mouth of the group just now, called Ao Bai to his side, gave him a money bag after a few words, and then Ao Bai left the team with 4 people.
Everyone walked until they were a quarter of an hour away from Jinshan City, and they reached the edge of the tent area before they started camping. Countless pairs of eyes stared at them silently, and there were also two people from the trading house in the middle, who came to express goodwill.
After sending the two away, Zheng Zhilong said to Liu Yifeng with a serious expression: "Do you think what they said is true?" ”
Liu Yifeng shook his head: "I don't know. They don't have to lie, but do you think that Zhang Xianzhong is really that bold? ”
Zheng Zhilong was silent for a few seconds and shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
"In short, we are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, always leave 4 people on duty at night, I will come to the first shift, you take the second shift, and let him take the third shift when Ao Bai comes back."
Zheng Zhilong nodded, and then said a little depressedly: "I knew that I would go to the inn with Feng Shuo and them to squeeze in." ”
Obviously, he has already arrived in Jinshan City, but the reason why he still has to be so wary is what the two trading houses said when they expressed their goodwill just now. They told Liu Yifeng that Zhang Bandit was going to make a big move recently, and he had already appeared near Jinshan City some time ago.
