Chapter Twenty-Three: Robbery on the Road

Two days later, in the morning light, Li Yi and his senior brother Jing Zizheng and Yang Ping followed the Yang caravan to the north.

Because this time it was with the Yang caravan, because they could easily travel in a carriage.

This is simply a matter of heaven and mind for the weak Jingzizheng.

The original plan was that he and Li Yi were going to ride to Biansai, but compared to the carriage that could lie down, the bumpy back of the horse was simply a torture.

But Li Yi insisted on horseback riding, because he had never been in contact with horseback riding in Guigumen for several years.

Therefore, he can take advantage of these ten days to learn riding skills.

And the important task of teaching Li Yi to ride a horse taught the second pot head of the Yang caravan.

This second pot head is named Xiao Derong, although the name sounds like a Dayu person, but this Xiao Derong is an authentic Wei family member.

As one of the eight tribes of the steppe, the Wei tribe is very good at riding and shooting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Wei people grew up on horseback, so their riding skills were much better than the cavalry of the Dayu Dynasty.

And Xiao Derong is actually not surnamed Xiao, Xiao De is his surname, and Xiao De is the traditional surname of the Wei tribe.

The reason why Xiao Derong joined the Yang caravan was because he had offended the nobles of the Wei family, and his whole family was dragged to death on the grassland by the nobles.

Xiao Derong was lucky not to die, but was later rescued by the Yang caravan in Biansai, and after he recovered from his injuries, he vowed to avenge his family, and from then on he officially broke away from the Wei tribe.

In order to repay his kindness, he joined the Yang caravan and became a guide and translator.

Within a few years, he was appointed by the Yang family as the second pot head of this caravan because of his merits, and he also married a new wife and gave birth to two big fat boys in the Dayu Dynasty.

Under Xiao Derong's teaching, Li Yi's riding skills have made great progress.

On the one hand, Xiao Derong taught well, and on the other hand, it was also because Li Yi was very talented in this area.

In less than two days, Li Yi could ride a horse and gallop wildly, and even do a few unconventional actions on horseback.

This made the rest of the Yang caravan envious.

Some of them had been riding horses for years, and no one dared to do these thrilling moves.

During the period when Li Yi was seriously studying horseback riding, Jing Zizheng was lying on the carriage full of goods with a scroll in his hand and reading carefully.

The people in the Yang caravan around him all expressed their incomprehension.

"I said Gongzi Jing, isn't it asking for hardship for a weak scholar like you to run to the bitter cold side?"

The head of the Yang caravan's cauldron drove the carriage and asked puzzledly.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. Although I am a scholar, I also want to contribute to the country. ”

Keiko put the book down and said with a smile.

"I heard that Jing Gongzi's brother is the military commander of the defenders of the Yuyang section in Biansai?"

Yang Ping sat in another carriage and asked curiously.

"Exactly, my brother Jing Ziyi is serving as a military commander under General Long."

"In that case, when I get to the side of the plug, I will ask Gongzi Jing to introduce me to me."

Yang Ping immediately said with a flattering face.

Jing Zizheng's face was a little stiff, he didn't expect this Yang Ping to be so good at climbing the pole.

However, it is not easy to refuse if he is now sitting in the other party's carriage.

"I don't know what the shopkeeper Yang is looking for?"

Jing Zizheng had no choice but to ask Yang Ping's purpose first, and then inform his brother in advance.

"It's nothing, it's just that this border crisis, my Yang family, as a scholar of the Dayu Dynasty, decided that in addition to helping the army transport grain and grass, the family also prepared some additional supplies for the soldiers in the border area."

Speaking of this, Jing Zizheng understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but blush.

Originally, he thought that Yang Ping was a villain who tended to cling to the powerful, but the reality was that the other party was an upright person who was dedicated to the country.

Although his appearance looks very obscene, he really can't just look at people by their appearance.

"Although the materials prepared by my Yang family are not much, they can only be distributed to the scholars through Jun Sima and General Long."

Yang Ping's face was still full of flattery, but at this time, in Jing Zizheng's opinion, he was so kind.

In this way, they walked all the way for four or five days without incident, which made everyone in the Yang caravan very happy.

You must know that the current Dayu Dynasty is full of bandits all over the country due to famine.

They used to encounter bandits on this route almost every day, and although they would eventually disperse in the face of the heavily armed Yang caravan, it annoyed everyone in the Yang caravan.

And this will seriously delay the progress of the fleet.

But this time, they didn't encounter the bandits who cut the path for four or five days, so their progress was greatly improved, and it was expected that they could reach Biansai a day or two earlier.

But sometimes things don't go their way, and just as the convoy arrives in Gunzhou, they encounter the first wave of robbers who block the road.

When he saw a group of ragged guys with various sticks and farm tools rushing down the hillside on both sides of the road, Li Yi was stunned on his horse.

After the group of bandits, to be precise, beggars, surrounded the caravan, a relatively strong-looking fellow came out of the crowd.

"You guys, listen, we in Huangfeng Village only rob things and don't kill people, so if you know each other, quickly put down your weapons and surrender quickly."

This guy's thick dialect made Li Yi and the others not understand it for a while.

This guy watched as everyone froze in place, so he angrily shouted what he had just said.

It took a while for everyone to understand what he was shouting.

However, the caravan was not frightened by his shouting, but burst into laughter.

It's really funny that this guy's accent is so funny.

Seeing that everyone in the caravan was laughing at him, this guy immediately became furious.

"You guys dare to laugh at the uncle, the uncle has to let you know how good I am."

As he spoke, the guy raised his fork and rushed towards the convoy.

Li Yi observed, and what he had in his hand was not a standard weapon, but a fork used by ordinary farmers to fork grass.

In the face of such a guy, the people in the Yang caravan didn't pay much attention.

Seeing that he was the only one rushing up, Yang Qi, the cauldron head of the Yang family's caravan, nodded at a tall young man beside him.

The man, who was a head and a half taller than Li Yi, immediately stepped forward and pulled out the saber at his waist, and his momentum suddenly increased.

The man on the opposite side held the fork but did not retreat at all, and his speed increased by a few points.

With a "bang", the seemingly inconspicuous fork slammed into the blade of the strong man's chest across his chest.

The man from the Yang caravan was knocked back several steps by the huge impact force before he stabilized his body.

Everyone in the Yang caravan who was watching couldn't help but be surprised, they really didn't expect this guy with a strange accent to have such strength.

And the bandits, armed with farm tools and sticks, will cheer.

Loud shouts echoed through the valley.

"Interesting!" Jingzi had already jumped out of the carriage at this time, half-leaning on Li Yi's horse and whispered.

"Senior brother, what did you see?" Li Yi also jumped down and asked.

"You're also a gun, do you see something?"

Keiko did not answer the rhetorical question.

"This guy doesn't seem to be good-looking, but I think he just shot like a person practicing marksmanship."

As a master of using guns, Li Yi has not encountered many opponents, but his understanding of gunsmithing under the teaching of Tai Jizi is far from being comparable to ordinary people.

"It should be good, the blow he just hit the opponent's chest, the speed and strength are not comparable to ordinary people, if it weren't for the strong man on Yang's side who is also a practitioner, I'm afraid that he would have died on the spot with just that move."

Keiko said with her arms crossed.

Although Keiko is not much interested in martial arts, and his own martial arts are not high, his vision is not ordinary under the cultivation of Taijizi.

After all, Taijizi was able to cultivate a master with a lance like An Siqi, which shows that Taijizi's own martial arts are also unfathomable.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, Jing Zizheng's vision can be imagined.

In the time of the conversation between the two, more than a dozen moves had passed the battle over there.

The man with the fork attacked fiercely and quickly, and his moves were directed to the point.

And the strong man of the Yang family was beaten back again and again, and he was in danger, but fortunately, his blade was very wide to support under the opponent's rapid attack.

"It seems that the Yang family can't hold on."

After more than a dozen moves, Li Yi found that the resistance speed of the Yang family's people was getting slower and slower, and the space he could resist was constantly compressed by that person.

According to Li Yi's prediction, if there is no accident, the people of the Yang family will be defeated in the next fifteen moves, and they will be seriously injured.

"Little Brother Li, you said that this person in my family can't hold on?"

Beads of sweat began to ooze from the forehead of the chubby Yang Ping on the side, and he didn't know if he was scared or the weather was too hot.

"Please also ask the little brother to help me Yang caravan, this Zhu Gengshi is the best martial arts in our caravan, once he is defeated, I am afraid that our goods will really be swept away by these bandits."

Yang Ping said eagerly.

Although Yang Ping didn't see Li Yi fighting against the Qiao family, he heard about the situation from Mi Yiren's mouth at that time, so he came to Li Yi for help as soon as possible.

In fact, even if Yang Ping didn't come to ask Li Yi for help, he was going to help, after all, the people of the Yang caravan were very good to him, and he didn't want the Yang caravan to lose anything.

At the same time, he didn't want to let these bandits affect their forward speed, after all, he heard Jingzi Zheng say that the situation in the border area is dangerous now.

Li Yi smiled and pulled out his red sleeve move from the horse, this time he didn't use Dingfeng Bo.

With the withdrawal of the red sleeve move, Li Yi exerted force on the soles of his feet, and a dodge was between the two.

I saw that he stretched out his hand and blocked the man's fork with a shot, and then he gently pushed Zhu Gengshi out of the battle circle.

"Brother Zhu, you can rest for a while, this guy will be dealt with by me."

Just now, Zhu Gengshi already felt that he was afraid that he was going to lose, and in the face of such an enemy, he was worried about how to deal with it, but he didn't expect Li Yi to block himself, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But thinking of the other party's fierce attack, he couldn't help but worry about Li Yi.

"Little Brother Li, be careful, this guy is not a good person."

Zhu Gengshi immediately reminded Li Yi to be careful of the other party.

"Where did this come from, I don't know where I lived, boy, quickly dodge, or don't blame my uncle, my steel fork is ruthless."

The person on the other side couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw that his opponent suddenly changed someone, but when he saw that the other party was just a young man, he couldn't help but scold.

It's just that his accent is so weird that people can hear it in a fog, and Li Yi even guessed what he meant.

"This strong man said that it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, and we don't want to be your enemy today, so please raise your noble hand and let me wait for a horse."

Li Yi still follows the Taijizi Sect of first salute and then soldier, if he can solve it without using force, it is best to solve it, and if he can't do it again, he will not suffer.

"Where did you come from so much, Lao Tzu and the other brothers just want your goods today, don't talk about those useless things."

It's just that this guy has an extremely tough attitude, and he doesn't discuss with Li Yi at all.

Saying that, this guy killed him with a steel fork, and Li Yi had no choice but to fight.

The speed of both of them was extremely fast, and as soon as the man's steel fork stabbed out, Li Yi's red sleeve move ejected.

The soft barrel of the gun instantly formed an arc under the action of inertia, and then the body of the gun quickly straightened, and the tip of the gun stabbed into the opponent's throat at a very fast speed driven by inertia.

Although Li Yi's red-sleeved move was a late move, due to the blessing of inertia, the tip of its spear was much faster than the opponent's steel fork.

Seeing that his throat was about to be stabbed by the Red Sleeves, the man immediately dodged the shot with a sideways turn.

When Li Yi and him walked sideways, Li Yi immediately turned around and used a move to return the pistol.

And that person also used the same trick, only to see that his steel fork also turned around and stabbed Li Yi's body.

But Li Yi's red sleeve move was a few points faster than the man's steel fork again, and the red sleeve move was the first to approach the other party.

The man could only roll on the spot with a lazy donkey, once again avoiding Li Yi's red sleeve move.

Li Yi missed the blow and drew the gun again, and the gun momentum changed from retract to attack, and the attack speed was extremely fast, and the action was smooth.

The man crouched on the ground and watched the spear come again, and he didn't have time to get up and roll on the spot again.

Li Yi didn't stop attacking like this several times, and the man kept rolling on the ground.

There was a cloud of dust on the ground from his clothes.

The bandits watching the battle around were all nervous, they had never seen their big boss so embarrassed in a fight.

Usually, no matter what kind of opponent they encounter, the big boss presses them to fight, but today the situation is reversed.

Seeing that Li Yi's attack was getting faster and faster, and the gun's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, he immediately turned over and retreated, rolling several times in a row before widening the distance between him and Li Yi.

Immediately, he slammed his steel fork on the ground, turned over with the steel fork, and finally stood up.

And when he got up, Li Yi's spear tip hit again.

In the face of this shot, he knew that he would not have time to draw the steel fork inserted in the ground, so he decisively gave up the steel fork.

I saw that he changed the defensive posture of retreating just now, dodged the tip of Li Yi's spear sideways, and then leaned forward and attacked Li Yi with both hands clenched into fists.

Jing Zizheng and Yang Ping couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect this guy to abandon the steel fork and attack with his fist without changing his moves.

You must know that guns are weapons that are one inch long and one inch stronger, but sometimes weapons are also one inch short and one inch dangerous.

When a long weapon encounters a short weapon, an advantage can sometimes turn into a disadvantage.
