Chapter 039: The Chen Family's Horse Gang

"In addition to portable weapons, each person should bring a bow and two pots of arrows!"

"Zhou Yong, you ride a mule!"

The head mule, that is, the leader of the caravan, must not only have a calm temperament, but also not be alarmed in danger. If you hear two wolf howls in the wild, you will be so frightened that you will run away with your hooves, for fear that disaster will come at that time.

This head mule was selected by Li Heng and Zhou Yong, two grooms.

"Put the tea bricks on it!"

In fact, in addition to tea bricks, Xu Mu also collected a lot of local goods from nearby villages. For example, it was dried animal skins, but he found that these things weighed too much, and it was not conducive to the horses running for a long time.

Besides, he didn't expect to make money from these small goods.

Two hundred tea bricks is a lot, and in addition-

Chen Jing lowered his head and looked at the small burden on his back. In this small baggage, it is the real thing that makes money. Coupled with the sale of tea bricks, Lao Ma's five hundred taels, he can earn at least nearly two thousand taels if he only calculates roughly.

This trip, how can you not go!

"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky!" Turning over and getting on the horse, Chen Jing sat down and spoke angrily.

On his left and right, including Xing Xiaojiu, five heroes with swords and bows on their backs also shouted.

In the early morning at the horse farm, the women and children in the village all walked out. When he found his relatives who were about to travel far away, he handed over the peace charm with red eyes.

"Chen Jing, be careful." Handing over the peace charm, Song Yu stood in the wind and spoke.

"It's okay, I'll be back in ten days at most." Chen Jing comforted, "Otherwise, when we go to the south in the future, we don't have to run around, buy a better house, and have a few more babies." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Song Yu tilted his head without the slightest shyness.

Chen Jing was a little stunned, stretched out his hand, and stroked the hair of his adopted daughter-in-law who was blown by the wind.

On the side, Xing Xiaojiu had already kicked away his crying son, his voice was almost crying, and he was squeezing his strength and shouting "go".

Chen Jing grabbed the reins and smiled at Song Yu.

"Song Yu, I'm leaving."

"Chen Jing, be careful all the way......"

Riding the horse and turning around, Chen Jing did not hesitate any longer, looking in the direction of Luzhou.

"Brothers, fight horses!"

The six horsemen ran not far away, passing through the intersection of Tang Village, and the fat man actually came to see him off, taking more than a dozen villagers and waving his hands from afar.

After running for more than half a mile, Chen Jing turned around again and found that the Tang Village and the racecourse behind him had turned into a vague outline until they disappeared from sight.

……

It wasn't until noon that the six horsemen went out to the official road. After walking a short distance, I came across a checkpoint.

The little cavalry captain at the sentry post, after seeing Chen Jing's horse gang, immediately looked ecstatic, and hurriedly took seven or eight people to surround him at once.

"The road is forbidden, and the ferryman needs to hand over the road silver!"

Riding on the horse, Chen Jing frowned. It's not that he hasn't inquired, but this gang of soldiers and bandits is really rotten in the mud.

Seeing this, I will be cut off again with a sum of silver.

"How much silver?"

"Thirty taels!"

Xing Xiaojiu's face was annoyed, and he wanted to touch the knife under the jacket. The few big men next to him also became cold.

Chen Jing waved his hand to stop the movements of several villagers. He slowly understood what kind of determination the great gentleman who was determined to change the Fa had made.

Just as Chen Jing was about to hand over the silver, suddenly, a curse sounded. When I looked up, I found that at some point, my old acquaintance Tian An came on horseback, waved his whip, and whipped it angrily at the little horseman.

Suddenly, the little knight screamed in pain and fell off his horse.

"Grow an eye! This is my old friend Tian An! A pair of tricks in vain! ”

"Mr. Chen." After a few curses, Tian An turned around again, got off the horse, looked at Chen Jing with a face and was a little bright.

"I've heard that Mr. Chen led people to suppress bandits, and the righteous people in the world!"

"General Tuotian's blessing, I, Chen Jing, am just lucky." Chen Jing followed and dismounted. In the bottom of my heart, there was a sense of powerlessness. He didn't expect that the news of the bandit would spread so quickly.

Yuan Siqiao knew, and this Tian An also knew.

He estimated that it was the old boy who had a big mouth and spit it out. In this situation, he doesn't want to show his head too much, he hides his clumsiness, and slowly accumulating is the king.

Tian An had already walked in front of him, and his voice became chattering again.

"I also helped you ask, can you take credit for the bandits? It's a pity that they are all shirking, and they don't even give the silver. ”

Chen Jing was not surprised, and a smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, this time you're going to run the goods?"

"Exactly." Chen Jing took out a tea brick from his horse jacket, and his voice became hoarse, "Don't hide it from General Tian, the days in Zhuangzi are going to be unbearable, the monthly salaries of the Zhuangren are all owed and not paid, and several of my horses can't eat beans, and they are hungry and thin." I can only think of some way, run some tea bricks, and send them to Luzhou. ”

Tian An sighed, "If I have a hundred taels of silver on me, I can't say that I will give you fifty taels as a charity." It's a pity that I didn't, and I'm ashamed of Mr. Chen. ”

"General Tian's heart, I Chen Jingxin understand." Chen Jing quickly stretched out his hand and slid a piece of silver with more than five taels into Tian An's robe and armor.

"Ahem......" Tian An raised his head and showed a gentle smile.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, I remembered something. Out of Ping'an Town, it's best to follow the official road, don't take the small road. The border area of Luzhou has been very fierce in recent days. ”

"Why is that?"

Tian An smiled and pointed his hand to the south.

"It's the same as Huo'er Mountain, the Luzhou border has been dispatched to the battalion army, and the checkpoints are empty, guess what will happen."

"The old bandit goes down the mountain."

"That's it. Those people don't have Mr. Chen's skills. All in all, if you remember my words, don't take a path. Of course, if I follow what I say, I want to persuade Mr. Chen to go back and not run this round of business. ”

Chen Jing was silent for a moment and shook his head.

is like morale, the first time the business of the horse gang, if it returns, how to talk about growth in the future, how to talk about the family.

"Well, this leather armor is for you." Tian An turned around, took out a thin piece of armor, and handed it to Chen Jing.

"Two days ago, I beat a group of path cutters and got it. Don't worry, this is not considered armor, and the official will not pay attention to it. ”

Da Ran has a law, and the people are not allowed to hide crossbows and armor privately. Once discovered, it is equivalent to the crime of treason.

But the leather armor in front of him is actually only half of the armor, which is a little ugly, and it is not very good to estimate the defensive power. As Tian An said, the official workshop will not count.

"Eh, thank you General Tian!" Chen Jing hurriedly took it.

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen take care all the way."

Tian An retracted his movements and looked up at Chen Jing.

"Somehow, I always feel ...... Mr. Chen may become an unspeakable person in the future. ”

"General Tian said and laughed, I'm Chen Jing, but I'm just a groom, begging for food."

Chen Jing looked calm, then turned over and got on the horse, took the five horsemen with him, and after bidding farewell to Tian An, he re-picked up the reins and galloped forward.
