Chapter 481: Superfluous People
After the two girls each bought a sachet, the old and the five young left the stall and walked forward.
Just in front of the stall, Qi Huangwu stood at the outermost end, and at this time he was at the forefront.
Qi Huang Wusheng is tall and big, with dark skin, since more than a year ago, with the Xi Weiyu, Yunzhang and a few juniors to experience the same experience, more and more contaminated with the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, with a golden hairband instead of the crown, a thick but fluffy long hair easily stands against the wind, will always pull him a few points taller.
There is no Taoist temperament all over his body, but he is more like a Buddhist leader.
It's just that this head with a burly body like a mountain has a delicate and honest face, and he is easy to be moody.
Therefore, it is very easy for the chief instructor to look down on it and relax their vigilance.
Only those close to you know that this tiger seems to be flamboyant and wild, but in fact, it can maintain enough patience in front of each gorgeous rose to catch the dangerous killing opportunities hidden in it.
The six of them seemed to walk aimlessly, until they stopped at a candy blowing booth that was also surrounded by a large number of people.
Qi Huangwu chose a very particular position for their group, not only can you watch the skills of the candy blowers, but also look back on the road a little sideways, and you can also catch a glimpse of the scene at the sachet stall.
Qi Huangsu smiled casually: "It seems that the junior brother is very interested in the girl's things?"
Qi Huangwu didn't deny it, and said, "Well, it's too fast, those hands." ”
Qi Huangsu stroked his beard, recalled what he had just seen, and said: "While embroidering the sachets, while beckoning the guests to receive and pay the silver taels, the sachet bags on the stall were bought one after another, but they have always been placed with twelve, exactly one for each zodiac." ”
Qi Huangwu said: "Even if you keep staring at her hand, you can't see how fast she embroiders, but as long as a kind of zodiac sachet bag is bought on the stall, she can make up the sachet bag of that zodiac in a blink of an eye." ”
Qi Huangsu was puzzled: "Blind eyes?"
After speaking, he shook his head again and again.
The delicately embroidered sachet bag in the hands of the two girls cannot be faked.
The posture of the zodiac is embroidered according to their personal intentions, and it is by no means prepared in advance.
Listening to the conversation between the two uncles, Yun Zhang also found the problem, and said: "Four embroidery needles on both hands, it is difficult for ordinary women to control. ”
Woman in a black skirt.
Embroidered hands.
Sleeping giant.
Shattering and reorganizing the scenes he saw in his mind, Qi Huangwu crossed his arms and bowed his head slightly to affirm: "Those hands can control more needles." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts, almost waiting with bated breath for Qi Huangwu's next analysis.
"Xiaoyu, I remember you once said that there are actually not only fourteen of the fourteen evildoers in the rivers and lakes?"
Xi Weiyu froze for a while, Shui Ling's eyes seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and he blinked several times, and every time he blinked, the fear in his eyes increased.
However, after a few moments, the stubbornness that came from nowhere swept away those fears.
Xi whisper's mood swings come and go quickly.
Outsiders saw it or didn't care about it, but the five people on the side saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts.
A year and a half ago, the scene of the verge of collapse of the Yuntian Temple was still vivid in the minds of the six people, and Xiweiyu, who had experienced more related things, was undoubtedly the person who fell into the deepest self-blame in the entire Yuntianguan.
That experience was unprecedented for the little witch who was always pampered at that time.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, time has not been able to dilute the memory of that experience.
After coming to the rivers and lakes to practice, Xi Weiyu paid special attention to the types of people who intended to be unfavorable to her and Yun Tianguan.
Among them is the category of people represented by Shen Bian, the Fourteen Wicked People.
The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the number of people who have done many evils is innumerable, and the reason why the fourteen wicked people can be called this title is that people are frightened when they hear it, and they change color when they talk about it, in addition to the many evil deeds they have committed, because they are all people with strong martial arts.
The fourteen wicked men refer to fourteen wicked men, but there are more than fourteen.
Just because there is a wicked person, there will always be another person by his side, and they will be inseparable.
Everyone followed Qi Huangwu's line of sight and looked at the sachet stall again.
I saw that a foot away directly behind the stall, there was a giant man whose face was covered by a fan lying on the ground, sleeping with his mouth open.
If you don't observe it carefully, I'm afraid you will only treat it as an idle person, and it will not be associated with the woman in the dark skirt in front of you.
Xi whispered and relieved his mind and said, "There are fifteen of the fourteen wicked people, because there will always be a cowherd by the Weaver Girl's side." ”
The fourteen wicked people are strong in martial arts, so there is no one in their eyes, coupled with their eccentric temperament, most of them are loners, and many people in the rivers and lakes only hear their names and do not know their faces.
When they don't show anything unusual about ordinary people, they are mixed in the streets and alleys, and it is really difficult to be recognized.
The reason why Qi Huangwu was able to confirm the identities of the two, in addition to the characteristics of the two, was that he was sure that ten days ago, even seven days ago, they had never seen a stall embroidering incense sachets on the street!
Yun Longkui was obviously frightened by the name of the Fourteen Wicked Ones, and the last sugar gourd on the wooden skewer in his hand was eaten unintentionally, and he said, "Why did they come here?"
No one answered her, in fact, Yun Longkui had the answer in her own heart.
Of course, the Weaver Girl Cowherd will not come to sell sachets for no reason, but just to kill time.
The reason why wicked people are evil is nothing more than the words profit and desire.
There is no big Buddha who does not move, only the desire to fail to cut the other party's vital interests, Shen Bian and the merry man ventured into Cangwu Mountain is a good example.
For a while, the old and five young people were full of sorrow.
The Weaver Girl Cowherd appeared here, and the six of them were not unable to fight.
It's just that if someone can invite the Fourteen Wicked Ones, does it also mean that there will be more strong people gathered?
......
......
In the bamboo forest.
One man and one horse slowly traveled north.
Affected by the unhealed eyes, Jiang Yichen's walking speed is not fast.
According to the old uncle's letter, as well as the information he received from the head of Pinghai County of the Daoyi League, the father and daughter of the Niu family, who he wanted to answer, set off from Jinzhou City to the south of Yaogu more than half a month ago, and there were some twists and turns in Luzhou, and they were stranded until yesterday before they returned to the road.
He started from Pinghai County and passed through Dongting County, which was Yancheng County.
At least half a day in advance, the other party can arrive at the destination Baiju Town to familiarize yourself with the local situation.
Planning and preparing in advance has become Jiang Yichen's habit.
With his understanding of the old man, the old man will never let him go to the scene without a purpose, since he is asked to go to pick up people, he will definitely make the best use of people.
But he knows better that he is a "superfluous person", or that he is an unplanned guarantee.
The leading party in this matter is Tingyu Pavilion, and the Moral Alliance is more cooperative, Luo Piaoling's arrangement and layout can never be underestimated, but the old man is still doubly careful, presumably he will suffer a lot of resistance.
The source of resistance does not need Jiang Yichen to dig deeper now.
What he should be concerned about is where the resistance will be.
Judging from the reaction of the imperial court to this matter, resistance can only appear in places that the imperial court cannot see, otherwise it will be against the imperial court.
So where is the place where the imperial court can't see?
Or is it a place where the imperial court will turn a blind eye?
After the Hundred Flowers Conference, the imperial court raised its eyebrows, but it was difficult to create troops from scratch, and local control was extremely limited, which was why the imperial court did not take advantage of the situation to suppress the major rivers and lakes.
As far as Pinghai County is concerned, its territory is so vast that the imperial court could not control it in the past, and now it is difficult to deter the whole county even if there are elite troops stationed.
If you want to block the father and daughter of the Niu family, Pinghai County is very suitable.
However, Pinghai County is not far from Jiangning County, Jiangning County is the base camp of Tingyu Pavilion and the Daoyi League, under the watchful eye of the imperial court, stretching out his hand too far, and even making a big move, it will be a taboo of the imperial court, but it is not too much to lean over and sweep the snow in front of the door.
Although the distance of Pinghai County is more than 50 miles, it is not short, but it can be safe.
To the north of Pinghai County is Dongting County, and further north, that is, Yancheng County.
The combined territory of Dongting County and Yancheng County is not as large as the huge Pinghai County.
The Yamen's military strength is also half a catty and eight taels, and it is more than enough to control Xixi Town and Tinghu Town, which are in their respective territories, but it is difficult to take care of the entire county.
From Baiju Town, the southernmost part of Yancheng County, to Caoyan Town, the northernmost part of Dongting County, it is a vacancy that cannot be seen by the imperial court.
This vacancy is very small, and the short thirty-mile road is only a drop in the bucket of the entire Zhongzhou.
This gap is huge, and thirty miles is enough to swallow up hundreds of lives!
This is where the biggest resistance comes in.
Along the way, Jiang Yichen has figured out the key, and his mood will be more relaxed, so that he still has the leisure to walk in this bamboo forest.
Suddenly, in the bamboo forest ahead, the wind was fierce, and the birds and beasts were scattered.
Instead of stopping, the horses turned their heads to go.
Jiang Yichen stroked the horse's neck, and it was difficult to make it easy.
Suddenly, even he felt suffocated!
