Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 136 Departure
Meng Li looked at this eldest lady and showed a wry smile, he forgot that this eldest lady's Lao Tzu, but relying on the Jianjing documents of Shuizhen's hands and eyes, let alone say that it is a horse, even if it is a Xizhou war horse that is listed as one of the three major horse breeds in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it can be brought to you.
However, Mo said that Meng Li didn't think of it, and even if he did, he wouldn't do it.
When you go out and support yourself, if you can let go of the remnants of your father's generation, it is better to put them down. This can not only reduce the pressure of parents, but also better exercise yourself, why not?
Meng Li said: "Actually, I think this donkey cart is quite good. The style of the rivers and lakes, the shape of the waves, we who practice martial arts should be informal, and this donkey cart can highlight the temperament of the rivers and lakes more easily when we meet them. ”
Meng Li's words made it clear that he was fooling Miss Bu. But Miss Bu, who is arrogant and quite kind at heart, is a master who eats soft rather than hard. Nodding his head, he said, "You're right." We people in the rivers and lakes should live spontaneously, if I blindly pursue the carriage, the pattern will be small. ”
Wang Ergou asked tentatively, "That eldest young master, we are ...... now"
"Go, go now, this donkey cart, this big and small...... The eldest young master is seated today. ”
With a wave of his slender hand, Bu Yu jumped into the carriage with a sense of arrogance, and plunged his feet directly into the straw spread on the body, like a general commanding the chariot to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Not to mention, the soft straw is still quite comfortable to step on!
This eldest lady was fooled into the car like this?
When Wang Ergou saw this scene, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, if he wasn't afraid of causing the eldest lady's unhappiness, he resisted the impulse, so he didn't smile and bent over. With a whip in his hand, he shouted, "Come on, let's go!"
Southern Tang Dynasty, the fourteenth year of Chongwu, the fifth day of the fourth month.
On this day, Meng Li left the town for the first time.
From the water town to the Jieshui city, you need to bypass a group of mountains called the Kaolan Mountains, and then cross the Huai River to diverge. It was a journey of thousands of miles, and with the strength of the donkey cart, it took about ten days to stop and go.
Ten days, in this era when the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and sometimes it is even necessary to open mountains and build bridges when encountering water, it is not a short time.
All the way forward, five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
For the three of Meng Li, who traveled far for the first time, what they saw and heard along the way was a rare and novel experience. In just five days, there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
They all say that they are considered to be Jianghu children, but what is considered Jianghu children, this point needs to be understood by each other.
Before leaving the water town, they had more or less heard the sinister stories of the rivers and lakes from the mouths of those adults who claimed to have come from them, so that they were all careful along the way.
Fortunately, in the past five days, they have encountered not many situations, except for a wild bull and beast in a wooded road, which caused them a little trouble, and then a group of self-righteous robbers.
However, most of the robbers are some down-and-out homeless people who have never practiced their true qi, at most they have learned one or two tricks to strengthen their bodies, and because they can't eat enough, they have started to rob their homes and houses, relying on the strength of the crowd to bully some ordinary people who also have no true qi.
How could a person like this be the opponent of Meng Li's three!
Therefore, when they noticed the martial arts methods of Meng Li and the others, they were immediately frightened and fled, which also made the three Meng Li, who looked at each other, feel the unevenness at the bottom of the rivers and lakes for the first time.
On this day, Meng Li and the three of them walked along the official road into the detour area of the Kaolan Mountains.
Meng Li, who had not been mentioned beforehand, did not know that in this Kaolan Mountains, which is famous for rampant banditry, there are a total of eleven bandit forces in the form of alliances, and on a peak in the south of the mountain range, there is a huge natural cave, this cave has now been artificially repaired, and five of them live here, and these five people are the subordinates of Liang Cause.
Zhu Ge, the fourth forging cultivator, is the existence of this small bandit force second only to Liangyin in strength and prestige, and is usually named the second leader by people.
Liang Yin also trusts this second master who has a lifelong friendship, so that every time he is away, all the affairs of the group are handled by Zhu Ge.
It turns out that Zhu Ge is indeed a talent, and during the absence of good causes, he managed the affairs of the bandit group in an orderly manner.
However, the right of no one to supervise will grow with the passage of time, and the dead Liang Cause never imagined that his once most trusted subordinate would now have two hearts for him, not only wanting to dominate his bandits, but also giving birth to the idea of leading everyone to change the court.
Tick...... Tick......
In the huge cave, the atmosphere is a little solemn, and only the sound of stalactites dripping can be heard.
Zhu Ge looked at the other four people sitting across from him and asked in a deep voice, "Have you all thought about what I said?"
The four people sitting opposite Zhu Ge looked at each other, and one of them was a thin black man and said: "Guo Si's bandit group is indeed stronger than us, but Liang had a lot of conflicts with them because of the problem of sharing the spoils because of the boss last year, do you think Guo Si will really give us a good face when we go over?"
Hearing the words of the thin black man, a man with a gloomy face echoed: "That's right, Guo Si is now a six-forging martial artist, how can he possibly look down on our group of little minions? ”
Zhu Ge laughed and said: "You can rest assured about this, Guo Da is in charge, I have personally contacted him, and he promises to treat us well and give us a certain amount of autonomy." I'll reveal another secret to you, soon there will be a big operation in charge of Guo, as long as this operation can be successful, we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, and we will never have to live this kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and only the man with a gloomy expression said angrily: "I still don't agree, this bandit is the boss of Liangyin, and we are not qualified to help him make a decision." ”
"Good cause?" Zhu Ge sneered, "It's been three months, do you think he can still come back? Don't forget who the person he went to find in the town of Leaning Water is, and if he encounters such a demon, his life may be long gone." ”
The gloomy man clasped his hands on his shoulders and snorted coldly: "No matter what you say, I will not agree, if you want me to change my mind, unless you cut me to death." ”
"Alright, I'll send you back to the West now. ”
The gloomy man didn't expect that the brother who had always called him a brother would really shoot at him, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ge had already pulled out the long knife in his hand and slashed him down, cutting him down in a pool of blood. Before he died, the man's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhu Ge took out a piece of white silk snatched from his arms, wiped the blood off the long knife, and looked coldly at the other three: "Who else disagrees?"
Facing Zhu Ge's cold eyes, the three of them shook their heads at the same time.
"Well, that's it, and tomorrow you and I will move to the hill ahead. ”
"This ......" The thin black man looked hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he was forced by Zhu Ge's obscenity, and he stopped talking.
Zhu Ge smiled: "What's the point, everyone is still good brothers!"
The thin black man said worriedly: "Zhu Dangjia, although the good cause may have died, but we don't have exact news after all, if he is not dead, what if he is found in the future?"
"Do you think he dare?" Zhu Ge sneered and said: "Liangyin is only in the realm of five forgings at most now, and Guo Dangjia's side is not only himself a six-forging realm, but also a five-forging Zhang Heng, you also saw when we had a conflict with Guo Dangjia last year, Guo Dangjia did not make a move, and Li Heng alone has made Liangyin helpless." ”
The thin black man nodded, relieved, "That's just as well." ”
Smack!
Zhu Ge suddenly clapped his hands and said solemnly: "Okay, prepare today, and accompany me to find Boss Guo in a while." ”
The Kaolan Mountains are far more vast than Meng Li imagined, like a moat, between the water town and the boundary water city.
Circumnavigating the Kaulan Mountains is a great test of patience. The view is blocked by the mountains, and all you can see are rocks and weeds, which is fine for a short time, but after a long time, it makes people feel a little bored.
Miss Bu lay lazily on the donkey cart, rubbing a straw in her hand and yawning boredly.
"Oh, it's boring!"
Meng Li, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed and pranayama, opened his eyes after hearing her complaint.
From the time of luck to the end of work, the breath that was held in his stomach was slowly spit out.
Bu Yu saw Meng Li's eyes open, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he sat up straight and complained, "You masochist!"
