Chapter 520 Rough
"Xiang'er, when will your wayward temper change? Liangzhou is not a place to play, while the caravan has not gone far, you hurry up and go back to Chang'an for me! ”
"Brother-in-law, you can take me there, I promise not to cause trouble for you, you let me go east, I will never go west! I've left letters to my parents and them, and I didn't sneak out this time. Liu Xiang'er tugged at Song Che's sleeve, opening her big pleading eyes,
"If you take me this time, I'll forget about that night......"
"Boss Song, it's rare that Miss Liu is so interested in doing business, so you can bring her with you, she is the same age as Dina, and she happens to be a companion along the way." Tang Hulu persuaded aloud on the side.
Song Che scolded in his heart, you are fucking embarrassed to persuade people, I don't want to take your daughter with me. Now that she has been away from Chang'an for a long time, if she is sent back, she will have to send someone to escort her, and with this girl's character, she will definitely not stay in Chang'an honestly.
Song Che let out a long sigh and finally nodded. Liu Xianger cheered, pedaled the wheel, and climbed onto the roof of the truck.
"Go to the Western Regions, go to the Western Regions...... I hope this journey can be as innocent as her.
"Keep going!" …… The caravan marched all the way to the northwest along the official road, passing through Fengxiang, Weizhou and Lanzhou, crossing the Luohe, Weishui and Yellow Rivers, crossing the Loess Plateau, the whole journey of more than 1,800 miles, and finally arrived at the most important economic lifeline in the northwest, the Hexi Corridor.
Almost everyone was dark, except for the warm sun in May, and the wind and dust that had not had time to clean.
In the past month and a half, Song Che has taken a total of three baths, and he has become sloppy and used to it, and he has become less sophisticated.
However, this group of female swordsmen would rather be thirsty and have dry throats, but also reserve water, and apply a white jade paste every night.
"Brother-in-law, how long will it take for us to get to Xiliang City?" Liu Xiang'er sat cross-legged on the truck, holding her cheeks with both hands, facing the endless loess, she had lost her original excitement.
"It's almost time, we have entered the boundary of Liangzhou, and we can reach Xiliang City in two or three days at most." Liangzhou, as the name suggests, is a desolate and barbaric place, and the Gobi and desert on the left are representatives
"Waste", the prairie on the right represents
"Cool", and the people who live here represent
"Barbarism". And it is precisely because of the perennial war, desolation and barbarism here that many gangsters who have committed crimes will come here to take refuge.
The government and the army are thinking about how to protect the frontier, and they have no time to manage the criminals in this land, and they can't manage it.
"Stop! Don't run! Chase! "Seven or eight men with machetes were chasing a man with a disheveled head.
The caravan avoided itself. It's not surprising that you've seen a lot of this. There are too many criminals in Liangzhou, and the government has no jurisdiction over it, so it can only post notices to offer rewards, and a robber's head can often be worth hundreds of taels of silver, and over time, a large number of bounty hunters have been derived.
It's better to say that they are bounty hunters than to be more like gangsters. As they walked along the road, they compared the portraits and identified their targets, and if there were unlucky passers-by who looked like the wanted criminals in the paintings, most of them would be hacked to death with knives, and then their heads would be cut off and they would receive a reward from the government.
"Hey, businessman, don't come here yet, lest I splash your blood!" These bounty hunters, though they may seem to be vicious, are very moral, and never offend passing merchants except for their penchant for cutting people for money.
Song Che temporarily halted the caravan and waited until they were done cutting it down. See the seven or eight bounty hunters, catch up with the man with the cape, and surround him in the middle of the avenue.
"Horse bandit boy, I think you should be obediently tied up, the government said that the bounty for catching alive is three hundred taels, and the dead are only given two hundred taels, anyway, you can't run away today, how about giving the brothers a rich and rich?" The leader of the hunters spoke with his knife raised.
Although the man's face was covered by messy hair, his eyes were very sharp, and he was not flustered at all in the face of being besieged.
He was dressed in leather clothes, and his outfit didn't look like a Liang person. Liangzhou is located on the border, Liang people, Qiang people, Hu people, miscellaneous people have, stealing, blinding, abducting, cheating, robbing, robbing, smuggling, many as cattle hair.
"You recognize the wrong person, I'm just an ordinary passerby, not a horse bandit!" The man tried his best to defend himself.
The leader of the hunters held up the portrait and compared it with the man's return. Song Che used a telescope and glanced at the portrait curiously, it was painted like a ghost, except for the fact that the cloak was the same as that of a man, other conveniences were not touched at all, it is estimated that the person who painted this portrait has never seen the true appearance of the horse bandit, right?
The man who was besieged, if he went out this morning to comb his hair, would definitely not be cut off.
"You fucking don't quibble, you're exactly like this portrait, you're a horse bandit!" The hunter leader put the portrait in his arms and said: "Two hundred taels is two hundred taels, the brothers haven't opened for a long time, and today is off to a good start!" ”
"Hack him!" Bounty hunters flocked to it. In addition to being rude, they don't seem to have any very good martial arts, and they only hack people to death with knives.
The man was different, facing a machete, he dodged with ease, and even hit a few with his fists.
But two fists were invincible to four hands, and the man still fell to the upper hand, and was finally kicked to the ground, and he was about to be hacked to death with a knife-
"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, shattering the sky. The bounty hunters' knives came to an abrupt halt, and they all looked back at the man who shot the gun.
Song Che blew the gunsmoke, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brothers, it's wrong, it's wrong......" The hunter leader glared: "Businessman, do you want to grab a job?" ”
"No, no, no," Song Che shook his head and explained, "This man is not a horse bandit, even if you hack him to death, you will not receive a reward." The real horse bandit was hacked to death yesterday! ”
"What!" The leader of the hunter stepped forward and grabbed Song Che's collar and spitted, "How do you know that he was hacked to death?" Who hacked him to death!? Song Che covered his nose to block the bad breath and said: "My caravan only took this road from south to north, and I saw several groups of bounty hunters looking for horse bandits along the way, among them there was a seven and a half feet tall, quite strong, with a big beard, oh yes, he still seems to have some pockmarks on his face, he hacked the horse bandits to death, I saw it with my own eyes, it is true!" "Seven and a half feet is average height.
Growing strong also abounds. Men in the Northwest all grow beards. If you have been exposed to wind and dust for a long time, your skin will definitely not be good.
rough places, do rough things, tell rough lies, deceive rough people. The hunter leader squeezed his eyebrows, fell into thought, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "Fuck it, it must be Wang Er Mazi, the eighth lamb of Wang Bazi, who robbed Lao Tzu's business!" ”
