Volume 3 The world is turbulent, and the undercurrent does not stop Chapter 558 Nanshan Town
Many of them had never experienced actual combat, and the first encounter in this Qilian Mountain also made Hu Zhengwen's men feel the real so-called life and death.
When the blood dries quickly on the wild grass and rocks in front of you, you don't know where the blood is if you don't look carefully after taking two steps.
The vultures and crows in the sky followed the breath of blood, hovering overhead, and after Hu Zhengwen led the people to evacuate a few hundred meters, they swooped down and ate the flesh on the corpse with their sharp beaks, raising their heads from time to time to look into the distance.
For others, it's more of a visual and spiritual impact, this is not as good as Ying Tianfu, this is a real war, and I don't know when I will be in a different place.
Killing the enemy is the only chance to live.
In this battle, dozens of Hu Zhengwen's men were also injured to varying degrees, eight people were killed, and the names of the deceased were registered and buried on the spot, which can be regarded as leaving a whole corpse.
After Jiang Ning and the others dismounted to worship, they reloaded their horses and headed towards Dahuang Mountain.
"Childe, just now I saw three fast horses on the southwest mountain, and a person dressed as a woman." Xu Ning said as he walked: "Along the way, there are a lot of sneaky villains. ”
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "There are more bandits than officers and soldiers here, we entered Qilian Mountain, and we didn't worship the pier, so we are naturally fat in their eyes, but this is also the purpose of my trip, they don't see blood, it is impossible to grow, only in actual combat, can we continue to hone ourselves." ”
Pang Qingyun said: "What Gongzi said is very true, if he just works behind closed doors, he really thinks that he is already invincible in the world, hehe......"
On top of this, Lin Chong is the most vocal, now Gao Yanei was killed by Jiang Ning, although Gao Yu is still alive, but finally his wife's revenge has to be avenged, and the long-standing resentment in his heart has also been alleviated a lot with this entry into Qilian Mountain.
And among these people at present, Lin Chong's martial arts are undoubtedly the highest, but if it is really a battle of life and death, he is not necessarily Huo Wenxing's opponent, this is the deviation caused by personal experience.
The group walked through the valley towards a small town as far as the eye could see.
It is said to be a small town, but it is better to say that it is a "commercial street" formed within three miles on both sides of an official road, with wine flags displayed, inns lined up, and flat-floor hotels are more or less covered with warehouses, which is also because this place is already in the northernmost part of Nanshan, and the materials are either provided on the mountain or transported from Yan'an Mansion.
"This is Deng Yuanjue's territory, although I don't know if they were sent by Deng Yuanjue just now, but he must be eyeing us now." Jiang Ning said to a few.
The three regiment leaders, Pang Qingyun and Xu Ning, followed behind Jiang Ning, and before they entered the town, Jiang Ning stopped them.
"Whether it's him or not, the result of the battle in the morning, he should already know by now, 20,000 horses, hehe, he has a lot of power in his hands......" Huo Wenxing said with a smile.
Obviously, he was also extremely jealous, they only had 1,200 people, and the pressure of twenty times was obviously beyond the gap made up by the equipment.
"Hehe, it's not like that, how many of the 20,000 people are their own descendants, and how many are superficially dependent, each has its own ideas, and it is not monolithic, otherwise, there is no need for them to cooperate with Tian Hu's side, but just eat directly, wouldn't it be better for one family to be dominant?" Lin Chong had experienced what happened to Liangshan in the end, and he saw the key point at a glance.
Jiang Ning also nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, after this town, I went out of the corridor Nanshan, and in front of it was Leng Longling, although Leng Longling also voted for Deng Yuanjue, but Zhu Shuang and Zhu Biao, the two brothers, are not good at stubble, and the wanted warrants of the two in Yan'an Mansion are still posted on the city wall, and the matter of slaughtering the village is also done by them, and there is no one left behind, which is ruthless enough." ”
"This prohibition must be implemented to the letter, if there are still offenders, it is okay to arrest two examples, it is a matter of life and death, and you must not be careless." Jiang Ning advised: "Let's not stay in the inn, go forward, and camp outside the inn on the north side, the people in the morning will not give up, and strengthen vigilance tonight." ”
The five of them got the order, Pang Qingyun took the lead in entering the town with more than a hundred logistics teams and began to purchase on a large scale, and the others, like normal merchants, passed through the town and arrived at the northernmost part of the street in the evening.
Along the way, Jiang Ning could feel that at least seven or eight people were beating their ideas, and the merchant horse teams in other inns were all planting flags, red, yellow, blue and white, and the guards were also dressed as bandits, obviously someone was learning from Cheng Jinyun's set.
A shepherd drove the sheep from the north and was caught early, and Jiang Ning also dismounted to stop the shepherd and said, "Brother, can you sell us a few of these sheep?" The price is negotiable. ”
The shepherd raised her eyes, opened her mouth to reveal a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth, and squeezed out the folds on her face like the bark of a tsubaki tree: "Not for sale." ”
Jiang Ning smiled: "I won't sell it at double the price?" ”
The shepherd shook his head, stopped paying attention to Jiang Ning, turned around and left.
The shopkeeper on the side saw that Jiang Ning was not in the store, and the hundreds of people behind him actually lit torches on the north side of his store, and they also cut it, shook their heads, turned around and walked towards the store.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning hurriedly stopped Xiao Er and stuffed it with a tael of silver: "Little brother, what are you leaving, what is delicious in the store, say hello?" ”
"Hehe, how much do you want from the guest officer?" Xiao Er touched the silver, then changed his face and pulled Jiang Ning to the north wall of the inn.
"Anyway, I have to have a hundred and ten bowls." Jiang Ning thought about it, and took out ten taels of silver from his arms: "This is the fixed money, and it will be settled after eating." ”
"Well, guest officer, you are bright." Xiao Er looked at the snowflake silver in Jiang Ning's hand, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab it.
Jiang Ning dodged it and smiled: "It's not a secret, it's the first time I'm transporting goods to the north, and some of the rules are not very clear, little brother give me some pointers?" As he spoke, he weighed the money.
Where had Xiao Er ever seen such a big silver ingot, he grabbed it in his hand, took a bite, wiped it with his cuffs, and put it in his arms before he smiled: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Jiang Ning bent down and swept around, and said in a low voice: "Those carriages and goods are all planted with flags, what does that mean?" ”
"Why don't I say you're bold enough to dare to ship goods without planting a flag? Make more noodles for you this meal, so as not to be a starving ghost on Huangquan Road. Xiao Er smiled and glanced at Jiang Ning with disdain.
Jiang Ning grabbed Xiao Er and said, "Please also ask the little brother to show me the way......"
The little two smiled: "Just now you gave a fixed money, whether this road is bright or not, it depends on the ......" said and rubbed his hands.
Jiang Ning naturally understood the meaning, Xu Ning stepped forward and took out a purse and handed it to Jiang Ning.
"Please also ask Xiao Er to give me some advice, my brother has no ability, but I don't want to die in this deep mountain......" Jiang Ning stuffed his purse into Xiao Er's hand, and there were ten taels of silver.
