Chapter 128 Thousands of miles are uninhabited
"Come on, come on, drink!"
"I've had a full meal today!"
"Haha, happy!"
Those big bags and small bags were full of rice, grain, wine and meat, and they didn't know where to grab them, and they cooked on the fire and ate happily.
Wang Xin said in a low voice: "Brother Biao, it's a mountain bandit!" ”
Zhang Biao shook his head slightly and said: "In the troubled times, mountain bandits will inevitably rise around, and most of them have robbed Qinglongdu. ”
"I heard that it has been occupied by the imperial court soldiers and horses, and the river has been blocked, let's go around the crossing and see if we can find a small boat."
With that, he was ready to leave.
At this moment, a man below was drunk, and suddenly cried: "Pity my brothers in the Qinglong Gang, if I could meet the eldest brother earlier, I wouldn't have died at the hands of the officers and soldiers..."
Zhang Biao turned around suddenly when he heard this, and without saying a word, he slammed the doors and windows, jumped down, and strode to the opposite inn.
"Someone!"
"Copy guy!"
Those mountain bandits were startled, Cang Langlang pulled out their weapons, and looked outside with a fierce face.
I saw a man wearing a bronze face standing on the street, and then a black-robed man fell in mid-air.
"It's just two people, brothers, on..."
"Don't do it!"
The mountain bandits were about to rush up, but Tian Yue's face changed greatly, and he stopped everyone with an angry roar, and then took a few steps forward, and respectfully bowed his hand: "I've seen Lord Tai Sui!" ”
"Tai Sui!"
"The Three Demons of the Capital..."
The mountain bandits looked at each other, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they all took a step back, and some of them were still trembling in their legs.
A murderous name is also a name, and sometimes it's better to make it...
Zhang Biao sighed in his heart and asked, "Who is the brother of the Qinglong Gang, come out and ask something." ”
Swish!
Everyone's eyes stared at a thin man, he swallowed his saliva, trembled and arched his hand: "Villain Li Erpole, I don't know what you want to ask?" ”
Zhang Biao didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "What happened to the Qinglong Gang?" ”
Li Erpole replied: "As soon as the officers and soldiers came, they robbed the ferry, and our Liu gang leader went to give gifts, but was beheaded by the other party, and the rest of the gang was also surrounded and suppressed. ”
Zhang Biao frowned, "What about Elder Yu?" ”
Yu Ziqing's cousin Yu Kui is the elder of the Qinglong Gang, who helped arrange the Tie and Wang families, and he came to find Yu Kui on this trip.
"Elder Yu?"
Li Erpole was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said: "Don't dare to hide it, my Qinglong Gang had infighting last year, Elder Yu left angrily, and went to Huaizhou when the snow was falling." ”
"When he leaves, will he have anyone with him?"
"Two boats of people, in addition to some of his men, there are also many old and weak women and children."
"Do you know where you went?"
"It's... The little ones don't know. ”
"Thank you."
Zhang Biao had already asked for information, and while breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he turned around and left, preparing to leave Shilipo.
"Tai Sui, slow down!"
At this moment, Tian Yue suddenly spoke.
Seeing Zhang Biao turn his head, he respectfully arched his hand and said: "Lord Tai Sui, now in troubled times, the faint monarch has no way to take power with traitorous ministers, it is the time for my generation to take advantage of the situation, why don't you stay and make a career?" ”
Zhang Biao was speechless, "Just you people?" ”
Tian Yue didn't seem to hear his ridicule, and said with a straight face: "The imperial court is going to send troops to attack Luzhou, and the war is chaotic together, and the green forests and heroes in various places will form villages to protect themselves, and they will respond to each other in the name of adults." ”
"When the imperial court is empty, we can rob the grain road and grow stronger, and even destroying the girder in one fell swoop may not be a pipe dream, the small one is willing to lead the horse for the adult!"
With that, get down on one knee, clench your fists and bow your head.
The other bandits also knelt on the ground.
"Not interested."
Zhang Biao stopped talking nonsense and left indifferently.
Seeing the figures of the two disappear from the thick fog, Tian Yue looked disappointed and slowly got up.
The mountain bandits next to them breathed a sigh of relief.
One person smiled bitterly and said: "Big brother, what did you do to provoke that fierce demon, he didn't go well, what should we do if you kill us?" ”
Tian Yue sighed, "You know a fart, with Tai Sui's support, we can be much easier, and what we just said may not be unfulfilled." ”
"No matter how fierce he is, he is still a person, and the real demons are all above the court..."
The mountain bandits also knew something about him, and one of them said carefully: "Big brother is saying, that Zhou Dalang of the Dragon Tooth Guard?" ”
"He's a fart!"
Tian Yue suddenly looked angry and scolded: "That's a cheap seed, born cheap, people are also cheap, dog-like things, don't mention it again in the future!" ”
"Humph! If this Tai Sui doesn't agree, I still have a way, I will find those guards later, cut off my head, and make a name for us! ”
"Big brother, you're still tall!"
"Big brother, what the hell is that thing?"
"A ghost woman, has become a ghost god, hum, Tai Sui has no guts, let's use the power of demons to gather momentum!"
………………
"Brother Biao, that kid is not very ambitious."
"Well, when the troubled times come, the people are displaced, and the ambitious people emerge in an endless stream, and ...... are indispensable everywhere"
After leaving Shilipo, Zhang Biao and the two chatted while walking, and unconsciously climbed over another hill.
I saw that below was a ferry, which had been built into a military fort, surrounded by hills on Wednesday, with sentry posts, and several iron locks on the river to intercept it, and a few warships parked.
Zhang Biao was a little surprised when he saw this.
It seems that at least a thousand people are stationed in this military fort, and Tian Yue and a gang of mountain bandits can steal food from it, and they really have some skills.
"Brother Biao, how is it?"
"It's not easy to get it, there is an iron lock across the river, even if you steal the boat, you can't go, let's go around and see if we can find the fishing village downstream."
Zhang Biao was in a hurry, not wanting to cause trouble, so he took Wang Xin around the mountains and went downstream along the river.
He had a face, and he walked forward in the thick fog, and his vision was not blocked, but even so, when it was about to get dark, he saw a fishing village.
Before he got closer, Zhang Biao's face sank.
The whole village was scorched and smoky, wild dogs were scurrying, eating stumps and severed arms, and the muddy ground was covered with horseshoe prints.
"It's a military horse."
Wang Xin looked at the traces of the horseshoe on the ground, and said thoughtfully: "There are quite a few people, it seems that the garrison upstream did it, no wonder those thieves were able to steal something, it turned out that the army was dispatched to slaughter the village." ”
As he spoke, a murderous aura rose in his eyes, "It's all innocent people, the people of Daliang, are these officers and soldiers crazy?" ”
"It's a scorched earth strategy."
Zhang Biao also took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There are Xuandu Taoist activities in Huaizhou, most of them have been controlled by them, and the imperial court wants to go on an expedition to Luzhou, so naturally it will not allow accidents in the rear." ”
Purr ......
At that moment, the wild dogs noticed the movement, and their eyes were red, their fangs were hideous, and their mouths were drooling.
But before he could get closer, he was covered in fur and quickly ran into the distant mountain forest.
Although Zhang Biao can restrain the qi of the whole body, Wang Xin does not have that ability, after transformation, the breath is like a demon, and it is difficult to hide the murderous aura.
"Let's go... Let's see if we can find the boat. ”
Zhang Biao took Wang Xin into the village.
As far as the eye can see, there are scorched earth stumps everywhere, emitting a pungent stench, and human heads are stuck in wooden stakes, and a group of old bustards are hovering.
"Brother Biao, look!"
Wang Xin suddenly pointed forward.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and there was a glowing ghost fire rising in the scorched earth, and then a series of figures appeared, all of them were ordinary people's clothes, each limb was mutilated, and they stood in place with their heads bowed, motionless.
Suddenly, some of them began to burn black, some of their heads rolled off, and their bodies flickered and then returned to normal.
"It's a revenant."
Zhang Biao said in a deep voice: "They are not harmful, but their obsession and fear are not gone, and they keep repeating the scene before death." ”
Having said that, his face was solemn.
The fact that the dead soul does not have the ability to travel through the spirit realm, but now appears in this world, indicating that the spiritual barrier has completely disappeared.
"When the fog comes, a group of ghosts appears, and there is no distinction between people and ghosts..."
Zhang Biao looked around, "This has become the entrance to the spirit world, maybe it will attract some powerful guys, let's hurry up and find a boat." ”
The two of them sped up and went to the river to look for it.
The fishermen's boats, which usually stop on the shore when not in use, were all burned down, except for one that drifted to the other shore and was blocked by rocks.
"Wait for me!"
Zhang Biao let out a low shout, rushed forward a few steps, jumped six or seven feet, and crossed half of the river.
When his body was about to fall, he left his left hand, his true qi moved, and the invisible hook and lock roared out, nailed to the boat, and then the spider silk suddenly contracted, dragging him to the boat.
Zhang Biao looked at the wrist guards, and the corners of his mouth showed joy.
Sure enough, it is much easier to use than the soul hook rope, and the river surface of more than ten zhang can be easily crossed, and it will not become an obstacle in the future, whether it is a lofty mountain or a deep pit in the canyon.
What he found was a canopy boat with no sails, only a shelter made of tattered mats, and could only hold the boat forward.
Fortunately, with this thing going straight downstream, it is much faster than walking.
The two of them immediately left in the boat, this place is still a little close to the barracks, it is still the entrance to the spiritual world, and they need to find a safe place to camp as soon as possible.
What they didn't notice was that not long after leaving, the deserted village was filled with the laughter of children laughing.
Then, a blood-colored flame rose and turned into a placenta-shaped giant sarcoma, and in the midst of the surge, strips of flesh flew out, sweeping away the souls of the children.
Soon, the deserted village returned to dead silence, and only the ghost fire slowly swirled......
………………
The next few days were much more peaceful.
The imperial court blocked the river, and the fog disaster fell, and the trade routes were cut off, so the Qinglong River was almost empty.
They went down the river through the vast plains, and as they went, most of the villages had been burned down, and the land was deserted for thousands of miles, as if there was only a lonely ship left in the world.
Gradually, the terrain rises abruptly along both sides of the river, high mountains appear, and the water becomes turbulent.
"It's almost time to get to Huaizhou..."
Wang Xin was a little dazed, and muttered: "If there is no accident in this world, we may still be serving in the Six Gates, and we should also be released to Huaizhou this year." ”
"I didn't expect to leave Taizhou for the first time, but it was like this..."
Zhang Biao didn't know what to say, the aura of heaven and earth was revived, and the fate of too many people changed because of this.
To be honest, those who can live are lucky.
At this moment, he got up suddenly, and pulled out the Mo Wen knife in a hurry, "There is a situation, be on alert!" ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a large number of ship debris in front of him, more and more, and corpses floating up and down......
