Chapter 60 Seven Miles Wisdom Deceives Bandits
The next morning, when the sky was bright, Xu Xiao woke up Song Che and signaled that it was time to go.
"The scouts of the coalition army have reported that the Suzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army have met at Guankou yesterday afternoon, and they carried out a landing raid that night, but the effect is very small, and now they have camped on the other side of the river to confront the Feiyun gang." Xu Xiao said.
Song Che stretched his waist and heard the good news early in the morning, "Let the scouts report back, pay attention to the fire meteors in the sky when the ugly hour arrives tonight, but when you see the signal, you will launch a fierce attack." ”
"Okay."
"This is about to enter the mountain, if you go together in a group, it is too eye-catching, you can ask the soldiers to form groups of three or five, in short, scattered, you must pretend to be a little."
Song Che pushed his wheelbarrow and took the lead with Xu Xiao and a dozen other soldiers, in order to prevent Wang Si from changing in battle, Zheng Sui personally escorted him to hide in the team.
The team of displaced people, in twos and threes, bustling, marched into Qili Mountain.
Four or five miles into the mountain, a dense green forest, perhaps has not been trampled on for a long time, and the weeds have spread out of the mountain road.
After walking three or four miles further, suddenly a post station was located on the side of the road, and Song Che picked up a telescope to look at it - the post station was very dilapidated, without a flag, and a few horses were vaguely visible, indicating that there were people inside.
The post station is often set up by the official family to provide food and accommodation for business travelers, and the bandits of Qilishan are entrenched, who dares to ask for business here?
"How's it going?" Xu Xiao asked.
Song Che said: "Most of the bandits occupied the post station and blocked the road to rob. ”
Xu Xiao said angrily: "This is not just robbery, it is clearly a robbery, these bandits really regard themselves as the emperor of the soil!" ”
"You can just get over it later, if they block the way and ask, first see what I can do, if I really can't hold it, then kill him quickly," Song Che said, and said: "If you pass the word, if you see me coughing, let the leader of the team cough too." ”
"Cough?" Xu Xiao was puzzled.
Song Che said with a smile: "This is a suspicious plan, follow the learning, and you will definitely be able to pass the test safely." ”
Xu Xiao didn't ask any more questions, and passed the words one by one.
After a while, the procession of displaced people passed by the post station, and everyone lowered their heads and hurriedly quickened their pace.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, there was a shout from the post station.
Then, seven or eight men walked out with knives, and they looked vicious, and at a glance they were gangsters who blocked the road and robbed.
"Where are you from?" A bearded bandit questioned loudly, apparently he was the leader of the gang.
Song Che was calm, and said with a smile: "Back to Haohan, we are fleeing from the coast, borrowing the road to pass through this mountain, I hope you can make it convenient and let us go?"
The bandits didn't look at Song Che and the others much, but walked around a few wheelbarrows, "What are these?" ”
Song Che said: "It's all old clothes and quilts, which are worthless. ”
"Huh...... I've seen a lot of people hiding their money under their luggage. The bearded bandit beckoned to his men, "Search for me!" Let's see if there's something hidden under their covers! ”
The bandits began to pull the wheelbarrow.
The soldiers' weapons are hidden under the car, and if they are turned out, they will not be exposed?
Song Che clenched the electric baton in his sleeve, Xu Xiao and the soldiers were also ready to move, if there was really a change, they would strike first.
But fortunately, the clothes were pressed enough, and the bandits were impatient, so they rummaged through a few pieces and stopped, "Brother Dao, they are all rags, nothing valuable." ”
"It's really bad luck, I met a group of poor bastards early in the morning, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu!" The bearded man saw that he had lost his value, and he no longer made it difficult.
Song Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pushing the wheelbarrow and about to leave, but who expected that the beard suddenly turned back at this time: "Wait a minute!" ”
Song Che frowned, "What's the matter with the hero?" ”
This time, the bearded man began to look at Song Che, and asked suspiciously: "I have seen a lot of displaced people, it is the first time that so many people have fled together, and most of the displaced people have fled from the north to Jiangnan, why are you running to Jiangxi?" ”
"Alas!" Song Che sighed heavily, and approached the bearded man to complain: "The heroes don't know, it is everyone who runs to Jiangnan that causes the outbreak of the plague in Jiangnan, we ...... Ahem! cough cough cough !! ”
He covered his mouth and coughed violently, and said: "In order not to be infected with the plague, we decided to transfer to Jiangxi, this team originally had more than 1,000 people, but those old and weak women and children were thin-skinned, and most of them died of illness on the road, we ...... Ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”
He coughed violently a few more times, and when he spread out his palm, there was an extra mouthful of blood in his palm.
Xu Xiao immediately understood, and also covered his mouth and coughed violently, and the soldiers followed suit.
"Good man, I'm almost out of breath, ...... Help me! Song Che made an upside-down appearance and pounced on the bandits.
The bandits were horrified and hurriedly retreated, "Damn, it's still a bunch of tuberculosis ghosts, get out of the way!" ”
"I just turned over their quilts, I need to hurry up and wash them!"
Seven or eight bandits ran back to the post station in a puff of smoke and closed the gate tightly.
Song Che took a sip of blood foam, smiled coldly to himself, pushed up the wheelbarrow, and stumbled forward.
It was only when he was far away from the post station that he resumed his pace.
At this time, Xu Xiao stepped forward and said, "It turns out that you let us cough along with it in order to pretend to be an infectious disease...... Hey, is that blood in your mouth real or fake? ”
Song Che slowly spit out his tongue that had been bitten by himself, "What do you say?" ”
Xu Xiao admired, "Sometimes a river of blood may not necessarily win the war, Brother Song only used the tip of his tongue to turn the danger into a disaster, high, really high." ”
"Don't be a sycophant, call Wang Si quickly, and the way ahead is divided." Song Che said with a smile.
Now that I have walked through the jungle, my vision suddenly opens up, and there are two roads in front of me, a road with a gentle slope, and a winding path.
After a while, Xu Xiao brought Wang Si over.
"Aunt Song, my good aunt, you can do well, give the antidote to the villain, the villain has only felt unbearable abdominal pain since last night, is it that your poison has attacked in advance?" Wang Sidang knelt at Song Che's feet and begged bitterly.
It's no wonder that after eating a piece of mud, my stomach doesn't hurt.
"Don't worry, a day of death is a day of death, no more than a quarter of an hour, no less than a quarter of an hour," Song Che pointed to the forked road ahead: "As long as you can take us to the West Slope Tiger Leaping Cliff, the antidote will be given to you, why don't you hurry up and show the way?" ”
Wang Si rubbed his stomach and stood up, and said weakly: "The avenue is the downhill road to Jiangxi, and you can go to the tiger leaping cliff on the west slope by taking the trail......
"How far away? How long does it take? Song Che asked.
Wang Si said: "The distance is not far, only twelve or thirteen miles, but the trail is rugged and difficult, and it takes at least two hours. ”
Song Che looked around with a telescope again, and after confirming that there were no eyes across the mountain, he raised his arms and greeted the soldiers: "Everyone put the swords on their backs, eat and drink enough, let's enter the mountain from the path!" ”
The soldiers took out their swords from under their clothes, and took out dry food and water to eat as they walked. Song Che was still pushing the wheelbarrow.
"Brother Song, why don't you abandon the car and push it into the mountain."
"I said that my car, from beginning to end, from the inside to the outside, is a baby, do you believe it or not?"
"Faith!" Xu Xiao grabbed the wheelbarrow and pushed it towards the trail.
