Chapter 15: It's Good to Be Rich
In order to successfully get the Niu Beast Beads, the Yuezhou Han family did not hesitate to spend a lot of time to send his son-in-law Han Xiaoqing out of the horse, which was bound to win. Han Xiaoqing originally had two strategies: outwitting and forcibly seizing, but now Ji Yinghan is willing to go, but he can't ask for it.
Old Xu Cai is obsessed with his mind and wants to go together. Ji Ying's face turned green with anger, and he grabbed his right arm holding the treasure bottle and pinched it hard, so painful that he grinned his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Looking for death, don't go on the right path, go to the tiger's den in Longtan!" When you arrive in Yuezhou, life and death are unpredictable, and you still want to get ten thousand gold? ”
Lao Xu was frightened, and timidly secretly aimed at Han Xiaoqing, only to see that the son was looking forward to himself, and his tail was about to reach the sky, and he couldn't help muttering again: "The dignified Han family, just ten thousand gold, it should not kill people, right?" Ji Yinghan patted the place where the beads were hidden on his waist, and said very calmly: "A few people who came in just now are not good, they are not ordinary family members, most of them are killers invited by the Han family, even if I don't lose my skills, I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat him." Han Dagongzi left me two lives, just because he was afraid that he would force people too much and destroy people. ”
That's right, it's easy to subdue Ji and Xu, but what Han Xiaoqing is afraid of is that Ji Yinghanyu will die and destroy the beast beads.
Lao Xu nodded thoughtfully, and his gratitude arose, Ji Yinghan was gone, and his little life was saved. It's just been a year together, and the two gradually have a relationship, but they didn't expect to be separated in this situation, and it is sad to think of this.
"Master Chivalrous must take care! After the matter is over, please return quickly. ”
Ji Yinghan groped in his arms, and then poured all the golden beans he had saved in a year into the treasure bottle, there were twenty or thirty of them, and the tinkling sound was endless. This time to eat, wear, live and travel has Han Xiaoqing to take care of, there is no need to bring the money, besides, if the money is not brought to death, it is better to leave it to Lao Xu.
Han Xiaoqing smiled and said goodbye to the two. Soon the samurai outside the house entered the house to report, and the carriage and horses were ready, just waiting to go.
"Brother Yinghan, my sister's life is in danger, let's go on the road overnight."
Han Xiaoqing "sincerely invited", Ji Yinghan was "gracious", and before leaving, he did not forget to comfort Lao Xu, and said: "At least in January, more in March, I will go back when I go." Lao Xu thought that it might be difficult to see each other again, and he couldn't help choking up: "Little Lao'er is waiting here for the chivalrous master......" Ji Yinghan pressed lightly on his shoulder and strode out of the door.
The moon shines brightly, and the moonlight is bright. Outside the house, more than 20 horsemen saw the master come out, and they jumped on horseback, each holding a torch, divided into two columns, and protected Ji Yinghan and Han Xiaoqing in the center. Ji Yinghan rode on his left and right, both dressed in night clothes, carrying long swords, his eyes did not leave, and he followed each other closely.
Don't look at Han Xiaoqing's pampered appearance of a noble son, but he is surprisingly superb in riding, he whips his horse, is full of spirit, and looks back and says: "I went to Yuezhou for five hundred miles, Brother Yinghan worked hard!" ”
At the sound of an order, the whole team set off.
The fast horses went south along the official road, and the torches illuminated both sides of the road. Although there are many guards, Kuangzhou borders Beihu, and there are bandits in the territory, so it is really dangerous to travel at night. Ji Yinghan secretly thought to himself that if he was attacked along the way, he could escape by taking advantage of the chaos.
I have to say that Ji Yinghan greatly underestimated the strength and determination of the Han family.
The horse team traveled about thirty miles, and the leading samurai passed backwards, and the front had reached the Chengshan Station. According to the national system, the official road is set up with a small post every 50 miles, and a large post is set up at a hundred miles. Chengshanyi obviously belongs to a small post, with no more than five horses, no more than three houses, and the houses are dilapidated and have long been in disrepair.
The lanterns were hung high in front of the post, and a team of post guards stood solemnly in full armor, waiting for a long time. The leading post officer's voice was loud: "Hu Lang, the head of Chengshan Station, greets Han Gongzi." On this occasion, Han Xiaoqing didn't have to make a sound, the leading warrior casually threw out a bag of golden beans, and also shouted loudly: "Brothers work hard, Han Gongzi has a reward!" The post officer took the golden bean and led all the post guards to thank him in unison.
The team did not stop and walked away. Han Xiaoqing spent 300 gold to buy off the Chengshan Post Officer, and ordered a group of post guards to work all night, guarding both sides of the official road from the wine shop to the Chengshan Station, so that no bandits dared to make trouble and harass.
After passing the mountain post, the next station post guard continues to guard, there will be a figure on both sides of the official road not more than a mile, and the horse team will greet loudly when they see it from afar. No matter how daring the bandits were, they would not dare to mess with this team.
The next stop is the Bahshan Station, which is a large post with a wall on the outside and a tower on the inside, just like a small city. The horse team galloped through the central road of the post station, and the post guards on both sides greeted in unison.
Han Xiaoqing was silent, and the leading warrior threw out a few bags of golden beans and said comfortingly: "All brothers work hard, Han Gongzi has a reward!" Ji Yinghan was an eye-opener. Money can make ghosts grind, and the money of the Han family can make the post officials and postmen of the empire bow their heads and serve willingly.
When they arrived at the Baht Mountain Station, the horses under the crotches of everyone had galloped out of the hundreds, and the horsepower was gradually lacking, so they changed to the good horses that had been prepared and continued to gallop.
Out of the baht mountain post, the terrain changes steeply. The official road narrows, winds into the mountains, and further on, the danger increases. There are many bandits in the mountains and mountains nearby, and business travelers are often plundered, in fact, there is still a big road to Yuezhou, but Han Xiaoqing is in a hurry, so he took a shortcut.
At this time, the sky has been bright, the white mist in the ridge is swirling, the bushes are thick, and there are occasional birds wandering, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, such as entering a fairyland. This ridge is nameless, relatively gentle, the horse team crosses the mountains and mountains, and the warriors hold bows in their hands, and they dare not be careless.
Han Xiaoqing showed a rare hint of melancholy. It turns out that this ridge is the territory of the Silver Gun Society, although it has been contacted in advance, but after all, the people in the rivers and lakes are different from the imperial officials and soldiers, their way of acting is unpredictable, and they may not really do things after receiving money. The Silver Spear Club is a small sect, and there are only a few hundred gangs, but it is difficult for the strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and it is difficult for the Han family to gain the upper hand if it really does it on other people's territory.
The fog cleared slightly, and the horse team entered the first line of the sky. After a line of heaven and then down the ridge, the field of vision is extremely wide, and there is no danger of being attacked.
The rock walls on both sides of the first line of heaven are about ten zhang high, and there is no grass. Han Xiaoqing personally pressed the formation in front, and the horse team moved forward slowly, for fear of making a little abnormal noise. A dense layer of sweat leached out of the forehead of the leading samurai, listening to the wind and discerning the sound, there were thirty or forty people on the rock wall, if they attacked from a high position, their own side would be in danger.
The wind is loud, and the grass and trees are soldiers. There was a slight loud noise on the rock wall, and everyone drew their bows and arrows and pointed at each other from afar. Han Xiaoqing was very decisive, and strictly ordered all the warriors to put away their bows and arrows and not to raise their heads, and sure enough, there was no movement on the rock wall after that.
Grandma's, the world is sinister, the Han family beware of the Silver Gun Club, why don't the Silver Gun Club beware of the Han family!
When the first line of heaven was about to emerge, a cold male voice came from the rock wall, and the voice was soft and terrifying, which made people shudder.
"Han Gongzi walks slowly, and the silver gun will ask Han Master Jin An."
Han Xiaoqing used his arm strength to shoot a delicate small box onto the rock wall, and someone on it caught it steadily. After a while, the male voice continued to sound: "Han Gongzi is generous, and the silver gun will laugh." Han Xiaoqing finally relieved himself and responded happily: "Thanks to the care of my predecessors today, Xiaoqing remembers it. ”
The wind was blowing on the rock wall, and the people and horses of the Silver Spear Society were scattered in an instant.
