Not to mention anything else, since they stepped into the boundary of Zhongzhou along the way, the bandits they encountered, in two or three days, there were at least four or five waves, and every time the bandits appeared, they were very arrogant, and they did not take the local government in their eyes at all.

This is very strange, in the past, even if the bandits in various states sneered at the local government and said some arrogant words, they really encountered the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and they all slipped away.

But the several waves of bandits encountered this time were all fearless, and even said that the local government could not protect itself.

At first, Su Qi Anquan was a wild talk, but after solving several waves of bandits, as he went deeper into the boundary of Zhongzhou, he could obviously feel a chaotic order.

Even after passing through several counties, the soldiers defending the city closed the gates and forbade them to pass before evening, which was unbelievable in the past.

Unless something big happens, the gates couldn't have been closed so early.

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and he secretly guessed that if he wanted to know the cause and effect, he had to enter Qinghe County and see King Yu to understand the recent situation in Zhongzhou.

The three groups of caravans kept a certain distance, walked out of a county town, and walked on an official road, which was the first time since the breakthrough in the suburbs of Beijing.

Before I didn't take the official road, I was mainly afraid of attracting people's eyes and ears and attracting attention, but now I have entered the boundary of Zhongzhou, and the end of this road is Qinghe County.

Naturally, it is not as tense as before, and it is still necessary to relax the nerves properly.

According to Su Qi'an's estimate, at most, it will take about half an hour to reach Qinghe County, and everyone walks on the official road, and the tense nerves are temporarily relieved.

As time passed, half an hour passed in a flash, and seeing that he was about to arrive in Qinghe County, suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow shot at the end of the road.

Its target was not a single person, but it was stunned to stick to the ground in front of the caravan-led horse.

The arrow feathers swayed, and everyone in the caravan tensed up again, and quickly formed a circle, looking ahead with a solemn face, and their hands had already touched the carriage of goods in the middle.

As long as Su Qi'an gives an order, they will not hesitate to draw their weapons and fight immediately.

Under the gaze of everyone, after a while, at the end of the road, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a team of burly men of about ten people, riding horses, galloped over.

These big men stopped at a distance of about thirty paces from the front of the caravan, and at the same time, dozens of people sprang out of the surrounding forests, each armed with bows and crossbows, aiming at the caravan.

A big man on horseback looked at the caravan in front of him condescendingly, showed a playful look, and laughed.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that there would be a caravan at this time, and I dared to take the official road, and my courage was not ordinary."

"It seems that God can't bear me to go home empty-handed and send me a big meal, since it was delivered to the door, how can there be any reason not to, brothers, do you say it?"

"That's right! The big meal delivered to the door is naturally going to be received, and the meat can be opened again tonight. ”

In the forest, a burst of laughter sounded in an instant, looking at Su Qi'an's caravan, it was like meat on their lips, ready to be obtained at any time.

Su Qi'an stood in place, his eyes flashing, he knew that he had encountered a group of bandits again this time, and the reason why he didn't do it cleanly like before, was mainly because this group of bandits was obviously different from the previous encounters.

Not only riding military horses, but even bows and crossbows, although the previous bandits, there were also a lot of guys, but they were definitely not as well-equipped as the gang in front of them.

When have you ever heard that bandits have the weapons of an army? It's absolutely impossible.

Even if there are some profound mountains and some private goods, there is absolutely no need to rob passing caravans, which is too luxurious.

And this group of people is relatively smart, they seem to know that the caravan in the middle is the core, and the striker led by Tong Zhan did not ambush, but waited until Su Qi'an and they entered the ambush circle before making a move.

These people don't look like ordinary bandits.

Now that he has met him, Su Qi'an naturally wants to ask for clarification, and by the way, learn about some recent situations in Zhongzhou.

Su Qi'an did not rush to let his subordinates send a signal to let Tong Zhan return to defense, but turned his head and gestured to one of his subordinates.

The subordinates instantly understood, immediately changed their faces, showed a frightened look, trotted all the way forward, and hugged their fists at the big man who was the first to block.

"I don't know which mountain you are on, we are just a small business, and I hope that you can let us go, of course, we will not let you run in vain, this is a hard fee for your lords, you have a lot of them, and you can raise your noble hands."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of money from his sleeve robe, and just wanted to step forward to signal, but the big man led by him sneered.

"Hmph, you want to send us away with this money? Are you sending someone to ask for food, why do you look down on us? ”

The subordinates waved their hands again and again, and just wanted to explain, but were interrupted by the leader of the big man, "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Ben is in a good mood today, get fucking out of Lao Tzu, drop the goods, if you are twittering, don't blame the uncle for being polite." ”

In an instant, a fierce aura rushed to his face, causing his subordinates to retreat again and again.

"Don't be like this, you're just running errands, if we really lose the goods, we can't explain to the shopkeeper, and I hope you will raise your noble hands..."

"The owner, don't talk nonsense with them, just tie them up, look at the scale of their goods, presumably the shopkeeper behind them has some financial resources, and directly use it as a meat ticket, maybe you can make another profit."

A subordinate on the side, listening to the crooked words, said directly.

This suggestion made the leader of the big man's eyes flash, smiled, and nodded, "Well, your kid's idea is good, just do what you want." ”

Then he turned his eyes and said coldly, "Boy, since you don't want to leave, then don't go, give the uncle a meat ticket, maybe I can save your life." ”

"Brothers, do it directly, those who dare to resist will be killed."

In an instant, half of the crossbowmen in the forest put away their bows, drew their broadswords from their waists, and were about to jump down, rushing over to tie up the caravan's men and horses.

For them, it's just a small caravan, and there's no need to use a bow and crossbow to take them down, just draw a knife and rush out, just this kind of momentum can scare them to death.

The eyes of the people gathered around the caravan flashed, ready for battle at any time, and at the same time, the subordinate who showed a frightened look changed his face and suddenly shouted a loud reprimand.

"You... You bandits, you are so bold, you are robbing on the official road, are you not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the government! ”

"Our shopkeeper is close friends with the county magistrate here, and if you do this, you will not be afraid of being wiped out!"

"I advise you to turn back in time, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

The reprimand of his subordinates did not anger the bandits, but made the leader of the big man stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing, with a thick irony in the laughter.

"Hahaha, brothers, did you all hear it, this kid said that we are afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the government, what kind of funny joke is this."

"Haha, it's not, the boss, these people know that they are from other states at a glance, I'm afraid they don't know what happened in Zhongzhou, and they are laughing to death."

After the leader of the big man laughed uncontrollably, his smile retracted, and he suddenly said coldly, "Brothers, tell this kid what our identities are." ”

"We are the local officers and soldiers!" Everyone in the forest suddenly shouted loudly in unison.

His hand was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he stammered a little, "This... How is this possible! Are you local officers and soldiers? If you go up the mountain to be a bandit, aren't you afraid that people's heads will fall to the ground? ”

"Hmph, head on the ground? It seems that you are really an out-of-state caravan, and you don't know anything about Zhongzhou. ”

"In this case, before you become meat tickets, Uncle Ben will be merciful and kind-hearted to talk to you."

The leader said in a calm tone, "Don't talk about us, in Zhongzhou, this is basically the norm, since I became a bandit, I have found the true meaning of life, I am not bound by all kinds of rules and regulations, I can do whatever I want, with whose fist is big!" ”

"This feeling is really cool, this is the prosperous era we are looking forward to, I think it won't be long, not to mention Zhongzhou, the whole Daliang has to be like this."

"As long as the strength is strong enough, don't talk about the government, Lao Tzu is the government, it's the heaven here, hahaha, boy, after so much verbosity, do you want to be caught obediently, or do you want to die, you choose."

The leader of the big man looked smiling, and he didn't look anxious about the caravan in front of him, as if it was just a piece of meat on his lips, and it was just a thought on his mind to be taken down.

Su Qi'an, who was standing in the middle, had a solemn face, as he guessed, there was a civil strife in Zhongzhou, as for how serious it was, it seemed that it was even more serious than he imagined.

Although the leader said a lot, he did not mention the real cause of the turmoil in Zhongzhou, but understated it.

When he said this, either because of his identity, he was far from knowing about other counties, or he was hiding something.

But Su Qi'an believes in the former more, if as he said, they are just local county soldiers, and they are in the grass, with their strength, they should not know the deeper insider.

And from the conversation, Su Qi'an could feel that there was a strong dissatisfaction in this person's words, and he looked similar to those imprisoned ruffians.

Even if there is no sudden outbreak of the Zhongzhou turmoil, most of this person must have gone up the mountain to become a bandit and do things like killing people and goods.

People like this will always pop up in the hundreds of counties in Daliang.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the turmoil in Zhongzhou is not as bad as this person said, I feel that it is an exaggeration, not to mention anything else, from the beginning of stepping into the boundary of Zhongzhou, the several counties and counties that have been experienced, although there is some chaos, but at least there has been no local officers and soldiers going up the mountain to become bandits.

Therefore, to what extent the turmoil in Zhongzhou has reached, it is difficult to know the whole picture based on the words of this person's family.

understand, it's about the same, these people don't have much value, Su Qi'an sighed, and his eyes signaled that he was just about to let a group of subordinates take action to exterminate these so-called officers and soldiers who went up the mountain in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, the ground in the distance trembled faintly, and it seemed that a large number of people were coming quickly.
