Chapter 156: Cracking Tigers and Leopards, Draining Blood and Heading South

When the big man heard this, he immediately stopped, turned around and said, "That person, what did you tell me to do?" ”

Zhao Ta smiled and said, "Come back, I have something to say to you." ”

The big man was puzzled, but walked back and said: "That person, don't worry, since it is a big cat that fights, I won't worry about it anymore, you just carry it away, I have to go elsewhere to find prey, don't delay time." ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said: "Although I killed this big worm, it was you who chased it, so it is half of you, why are you in a hurry?" ”

"That man, are you serious?" The big man was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he frowned and whispered to himself: "It doesn't seem to be the truth......

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "I said that this is the truth, where did you come from so much hesitation, this big worm has half of you." ”

Dahan also smiled: "Then I don't want to think about it, when I think of the truth, my head hurts." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him with a smile: "Look at you, you are also a hero, but what is your name?" ”

Dahan stared at the tiger on the ground, couldn't hide his joy and said: "My surname is Guan, and my name is Guan Jiu." ”

"Guan Jiu?" Zhao Ta smiled and said: "I saw that this big insect was afraid of you, so I ran away from afar, and I didn't even dare to fight, but why?" ”

Guan Jiu said: "You don't know, I Guan Jiu has a nickname, called Guan Jiulang, the cracked tiger and leopard, which is the wolf, bear, tiger and leopard in the vicinity, who sees me and runs away." ”

Zhao Ta saw him patting his chest and boasting, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Since the big worm has half of you, and you carry it down the mountain." ”

Guan Jiu said: "That's good, my family is at the foot of the mountain in the south, right that person...... What's your name? ”

Zhao Ta said: "You call me Yuan Erlang, and the one over there is the thirteenth mother of my Hun family." ”

Guan Jiu responded, stepped forward and dragged the tiger, put the two tiger claws on his shoulders, and walked down the mountain on his back.

After I don't know how long, I finally went down the mountain, only to see a small village at the foot of the mountain, there are only a dozen families in Lala, Guan Jiu walked to the door of a house with a tiger on his back, kicked open the courtyard door and said: "This is my family, you come in." ”

Zhao Ta and Xiao Niang walked in, and seeing the rough and deserted, Zhao Ta couldn't help asking, "Guan Jiulang, do you live by yourself?" ”

Guan Jiu threw the tiger into the courtyard and said, "Originally, he lived with the second uncle and the seventh uncle, but then he didn't know where to go, so I was the only one left." ”

Zhao Ta looked around and said, "Why don't you know where to go?" ”

Guan Jiu scratched his head and said: "I heard from the neighbors that the second uncle eloped with the little widow surnamed Hu at the head of the village, and the seventh uncle really didn't know, he was a little crazy, I was afraid that he didn't go up the mountain to talk nonsense, and he was taken away by the mountain god." ”

Zhao Ta smiled and said: "What you said is mysterious, but there is food on the table." ”

Guan Jiu said: "Yuan Erlang, wait a minute, wait for me to pick it up." ”

After a while, Guan Jiu invited the two of them into the house, and then brought up a large pot of game, cured meat, deer breast jerky and other things, Zhao Ta took a few out and threw them into the sky to feed the eagle, Guan Jiu was surprised when he saw it: "It turns out that I still have this big bird, but I can't hunt this thing, and my archery has never been accurate." ”

After eating, Zhao Ta pointed to the tiger in the courtyard and said, "Guan Jiu, this big insect is all for you, you can prepare some dry food and dried meat for me." ”

Guan Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to go to prepare, when the sound of horses running suddenly came from outside the village.

There is only one road in front of the village, Zhao Ta put his hand on the pergola to watch, only to see the two people and three horses covered in blood, one of them seems to be injured not lightly, Zhao Ta carefully identified, can't help but be happy in his heart, it turned out to be Huang Gu and the two.

The route of Jinzhou and Laizhou to the south was set after leaving Qingcao Gorge, that is, I was afraid that if I was attacked on the road, I would separate on the road, if Huang Gu Ouyang Bei did not have an accident, then even if I couldn't meet on the road, I would meet in the south.

At this time, Zhao Ta saw the two of them hurriedly shouting, Huang Gu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but turn the horse's head and go directly into the small courtyard.

Several people converged, and Zhao Ta saw that the extra horse was actually Chiji, and it was Huang Gu and the two who met on the road after breaking out of the encirclement, so they brought it over, but the one that Xiao Niang abandoned was missing.

This Chi Ji is one of the eight horses, the best at endurance, and his temperament is more stable than Bai Yi, Qu Huang, Hua Lu and other horses, and it is the best mount for long distances.

Zhao Ta saw Ouyang Bei's injury again, although it was not light, but it was far from fatal, so he took out the medicine from his body and bandaged him again.

Guan Jiu got a big insect, who doesn't care about the origin of Huang Gu and the two people, originally this place was Liao on one side and gold on the other, and there were always wounded soldiers passing by, so it was not strange that the village hid in the mountains to avoid military disasters.

Zhao Ta asked the two of them to eat something, and asked Guan Jiuduo to prepare dry food and dried meat, etc., if it was not enough, he would take the money to buy it from the neighbors, and then it was the matter of the horses.

After Chiji horses came back, there was still one less, and Zhao Ta asked Guan Jiudao: "Jiulang, can there be horses sold in the village?" I'm willing to buy it with a lot of money. ”

Guan Jiu thought for a while and said embarrassedly: "There is a horse in the family of the widow Hu at the head of the village, but the little widow eloped with my second uncle, and her in-laws did not wait to see me. ”

Zhao Ta smiled when he heard this: "Don't you want to see Jiulang, don't you want to see the silver money?" ”

Guan Jiu scratched his head and said: "That's right, that old woman is greedy for money, I'm afraid that there is nothing that can't be done with a lot of money." ”

Zhao Ta smiled and took out the silver taels, Guan Jiu came back with a big black horse after a short time, everyone looked at the divine horse, and asked the little widow where the horse came from.

Guan Jiudao: "The left and right are not picked up in the mountains and fields after the war, and they always want to sell for a good price, but now they get what they want." ”

Zhao Tan smiled and said, "Guan Jiulang, do you know where your second uncle went?" ”

Guan Jiudao: "But no one knows, but before my second uncle left, I said that Song Guohao in the south is good, even if he has the strength to starve, he can't starve to death, and I think eighty percent of them are running there." ”

Zhao Ta looked him up and down and said, "Jiu Lang wants to go to the Song Kingdom?" ”

Guan Jiu rubbed his hands and said: "I heard what the second uncle said, but he led the little widow to run away, and I couldn't find the way......"

Zhao Ta looked at his straightforward appearance and said with a smile: "I heard that Kaifeng City in the Song Kingdom is very lively, your second uncle may have gone there, Guan Jiulang, if you want to go to the Song Kingdom to find the second uncle, go to Kaifeng to find it, I estimate that you should be able to find it." ”

Guan Jiu clicked his eyes: "Kaifeng, I remember, I can't live here anymore, so I'll go to Kaifeng!" ”

A few people got on the horse, Zhao Ta waved his hand at Guan Jiu, Guan Jiu looked at the big insect on the ground, and hurriedly hugged his fist.

A few people kicked the dust away, and after an hour or two, they saw an intersection, only to see that the road to the west was wider, which was the road to Shangjing, and the road to the south was going straight to Jinzhou.

Restraining the horses, Zhao Ta looked at Xiao Niang and said, "Thirteen Niang wants to go back to Beijing?" ”

The little lady sat on the horse and looked at him, her eyes shining: "Yuan Erlang......"

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "This day is high and the water is far away, I don't know when I will see you again, but I can't go to Beijing, but Thirteen Niang can come to Kaifeng." ”

Xiao Niang's expression was a little gloomy, and she said: "Yuan Erlang, I wrote it down, you also have to remember to be careful all the way, don't be greedy and rash." ”

Zhao Ta jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "This Chiji is a famous horse, so I will give it to Thirteen Niang." ”

Xiao Niang panicked when she heard this: "It's not far from me to go back to Beijing, Yuan Erlang, you still have to move forward, how can I want this horse?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "The black horse is the same as the horse, and the riding is the same, but this red horse is given to you by me, and the thirteen mothers don't want to refuse." ”

Seeing Zhao Ta's firm expression, the little lady had no choice but to get off the dark horse, Zhao Ta handed over the reins in his hand, and sighed: "What is life for, the rivers and lakes are far away, Thirteen Niang, get on the horse!" ”

Watching the little lady get on the horse, Zhao Ta patted the red ji, and the horse galloped along the road, the little lady turned around at the moment, but saw that Zhao Ta was smiling and looking at her, and couldn't help but feel empty in her heart, as if all the strength in her body was taken away in an instant, and she was on the horse, and two lines of tears flowed silently.

Seeing the little lady's back gradually disappearing, Zhao Ta's expression was lonely, he laughed at himself and got on the dark horse.

Huang Gu looked at Zhao Ta and hesitated: "Childe...... Why don't you take Miss Xiao back to Tokyo? ”

Zhao Ta looked at him, didn't speak, hit the horse and walked dozens of steps, and then said: "Dugu invincible, I think your invincible name is very bad, people with this kind of name often die quickly on the battlefield, you better change your name!" ”

Huang Gu let out an "ah", his face twitched, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Ouyang Bei was lying on the horse, the corners of his mouth were about to crack with laughter, he looked at Zhao Ta in front of him, and watched his gaze gradually fall on the black horse, he glanced back at the road in the direction of Shangjing, frowned, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face......

The three of them almost non-stop, all the way to the south, on the way they also met a few Liao soldiers of about 100 people, as long as there was no kind of meeting with bows and crossbows, the three of them rushed all the way to kill.

This is a race against Yelu Dashi, and if Zhao Ta and the four people were not killed on the mountain on the border of Taizhou, then Yelu Dashi's first reaction must have been that a few people retreated to the Golden Realm.

What Zhao Ta had to do was to hurry all the way south, so that the news would arrive one step late in Yelu Dashi's hands, and when Yelu Dashi received that they were still in the Liao border and rushed south, it would take time to issue an order to transfer troops at this time, and they would rush to Jinzhou before this time and enter the sea from Jinzhou.

When you come, you go to the state, but when you go back, you can never go back to the state.

And Laizhou is close to the sea, so the defense should be tighter, and Jinzhou City is a little far from the sea, so it is better to go to the sea......

Recently, the water camp in Jinzhou City encountered a headache, they actually encountered pirates.

Jinzhou, a place like Jinzhou, which is located in the bay, can be said to have not had pirates for hundreds of years, because there are few treasures to rob in this kind of place, as a military fortress, there are not so many people themselves, and the city is also far from the sea, and the pirates will go ashore to rob the battle line will be too long.

Although the Jurchens do not attach importance to water warfare and do not have a few ships, the Jurchen army can completely force the Liao army water camp to the point that they dare not even approach the shore.

At that time, Liaodong was lost, and the water camp did not dare to fight at all, they could not shoot the Jurchen soldiers on the shore on the boat, and the Jurchen soldiers shot them very accurately, and the combat strength of each other can be seen.

And Liao and Song did not have too many water wars, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, it was even more difficult to contact at sea, and the water camp of the Liao army had long been an ornament in the past hundred years, and it was only because of the existence of Goryeo that such a military division had to be set up.

Now even if the Jurchens do not have a naval army in Liaodong, these water battalion soldiers in Jinzhou did not even dare to approach there, but they didn't want to avoid the Jurchens, but pirates came.

These pirates have seventy or eighty large sea ships, even if you add up the water camp ships in Jinzhou and Laizhou, there are not so many, and the pirates on them are several times that of the water camp soldiers.

These pirates came to the shore every once in a while to harass them, at first the Liao State Water Camp was angry, so they touched it twice, who knew that their own water army was like paper paste, not an opponent at all, not to mention defeat, but also robbed a few boats, it was a heavy loss.

From then on, even if these pirates often come to the shore to show off their might, the people of the water camp have to endure it, as long as you come to Jinzhou, then we will drive the ship to Laizhou, anyway, when Liaodong was lost, the ship also ran over like this.

But who knew that these pirates were getting more and more excessive, and in the end they even sent someone to deliver a letter, and Chiguodi opened his mouth and threatened to ask for silver, otherwise he would attack Jinzhou.

And there is nothing to be done about the Jinzhou Assassin History, but simply these pirates are just shouting, and then come over every few days to disgust the Liao Army, and they don't really attack Jinzhou, so he also suppressed the matter, and now the court situation is chaotic, if he can't even suppress the sea, I'm afraid that he will not say anything about this assassination history, and he will be guilty.

On this day, Zhao Ta and others finally came to the vicinity of Jinzhou, almost non-stop along the way, that is, they didn't do much rest at night, and after arriving here, the three horses were all gone.

As for the clothes of the three people, almost all of them were purple-red, stiff and dirty, and the smell of blood was permeated, and they didn't know how many people they had killed along the way.

That night, the three of them took advantage of the moonlight to touch into a small fishing village, which was only five miles from the sea and a few miles away from Jinzhou City.

The fishing village is not big, and there are dozens of households, and the three of them took a look at one of the more regular courtyards, then climbed over the wall to enter, and then tied up a few people in the house.

But they were two brothers, and although they were both married, they had not yet been separated, and they lived separately in the east and west houses.

The three of them found clean clothes to change into, and Zhao Ta sat on the pier with a water ladle to drink, looking at the pair of brothers with his eyes.

The two brothers and their families were tied up and thrown next to the stove, seeing Zhao Ta's eyes, they couldn't help but shrink back in fright, especially using their bodies to protect their mother-in-law and children, looking at the appearance, they would rather die by themselves than protect their families.

Zhao Ta nodded and gave Huang Gu a look, Huang Gu immediately stepped forward and put a knife on the elder brother's neck and said, "Ask you something, if you don't shout, pull out the rags in your mouth, and if you shout, you will be hacked to death." ”

The brother trembled with fright, and kept nodding, Huang Gu pulled out the thing in his mouth, and then Zhao Ta began to ask about some situations on the beach, and when he heard that there were pirates harassing him every once in a while, Zhao Ta couldn't help but smile: "What month and day is it now?" ”

The elder brother said tremblingly: "Go back...... Back to the king, after tonight, it will be the eighth day of the ninth month. ”

"The eighth day of September?" Zhao Ta nodded, relieved in his heart, before he left, he agreed with Lei Laohu that he would harass Jinzhou every 258, but now it is just in time, otherwise if he is delayed for two or three days, maybe Yelu Dashi will chase here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ta said to the two: "Rest here for one night first, and go to the beach tomorrow morning." ”
