Chapter 6: The Deserted Town Crisis
Xiao Jiang and his party were walking on the way to the "deserted town", but the carriage suddenly stopped.
Xiao Jiang realized that something was wrong and asked what was going on, and one person reported to Xiao Jiang: "Xiao Gongzi, a man wanted to see Gongzi and was stopped by the guards."
Xiao Jiang frowned, opened the curtain, and saw a middle-aged man.
It was straight and handsome, with a long flowing beard, and was dressed in an ordinary gray cloth robe, with a weathered face and an unusually sharp look.
At this time, he was clasping his hands into fists, half-kneeling on the ground, and saying in his mouth: "There is something to ask for below, to see the son."
Xiao Jiang looked at the man, and already had some guesses in his heart.
In his thirties, he is a soldier on the battlefield, and his position is not low, at least he is a general or something, it seems that he does not look like a killer.
Xiao Jiang said to the guard: "It's okay, let him in"
After the man came in, he looked straight at Xiao Jiang, and happened to meet Xiao Jiang's line of sight.
Xiao Jiang smiled evilly and said, "I don't know what this brother is doing when he comes to me?"
The man hugged his fists and replied: "In the Yang clan in the lower imperial capital, I want to go to the "deserted town", but I don't want to meet bandits on the road, there are not many families, it is difficult to defeat the bandits, I hope that the prince wants to help and protect my safety."
People in the imperial capital, Xiao Jiang was a little shocked, this imperial capital is where the capital of the Song Dynasty is located, and the people in the imperial capital are either rich or expensive, how can they be afraid of bandits and robbers.
Xiao Jiang frowned, a few days ago, their group also asked passers-by that this road leading to the "deserted town" was indeed rampant with bandits and robbers, and this person's words and deeds did not seem to be fake.
Xiao Jiang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, but there must be a price for everything, so ............"
The man laughed and said, "Of course, of course, after the matter is completed, I am willing to present ten thousand taels of gold and two martial arts cheats to express my gratitude."
Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and thought: This imperial capital is worthy of being wealthy, although it is a bit dangerous, but it is really so-called, if you have a cheap advantage, you are a bastard, so the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is feasible.
Fortunately, when I came, I knew that the road was dangerous, so I brought a few more guards from the Iron Mansion, otherwise there would be this fate.
Xiao Jiang smiled and said: "Yes, I want to help, brother, lead the way."
The man, with a dignified face, did not smile, and said, "Thank you, Son, that is leading the way."
Xiao Jiang said: "Under the surname Xiao, the name Jiang, the brother does not need to be called by the son, so as not to be born"
"By the way, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"
The man replied: "Under the surname Yang, the name is Ping"
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "I am older than me, if Brother Tai does not dislike it, then it will be called Brother Tai, Brother Yang."
Yang Ping replied: "How could it be?
Soon, Xiao Jiang and the others saw the person they wanted to protect.
Yang Ping walked straight to the sedan chair, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Miss Yu, my subordinates have found help, it is this young master."
Xiao Jiang was stunned, it turned out to be a woman, and he suddenly became interested.
I saw that a pair of tender hands as white as jade slowly opened the sedan curtain, and the woman's appearance was also in full view.
A pair of clear and bright peach blossom eyes, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, white and flawless skin slightly glowing red, a pair of cherry mouths are very moving, young is already a beautiful embryo, long hair after the return.
The woman slowly stepped down from the sedan chair, came to Xiao Jiang, bowed down, saluted, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for wanting to help, the little woman is grateful."
Xiao Jiang endured Brother Zhu's appearance and replied: "The girl is serious, and I like to be Ximen Qing the most."
The woman was puzzled and said, "What is the son talking about? The little woman doesn't understand, what is Ximenqing?"
Xiao Jiang realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Ximenqing means a good person who is willing to help." ”
The woman, with a light smile, said, "Oh, that's what it means, that son is Ximen Qingluo"
Xiao Jiang was very embarrassed, but he couldn't help it, he lied, and he wanted to go to the garden with tears in his eyes, and said, "Yes, yes."
In order to break the embarrassment, Xiao Jiang asked: "In Xia Xiaojiang, I don't know what to call Miss?"
The woman smiled and said, "The little woman's surname is Yang, and her name is Rou."
Xiao Jiang understood that it was not yet a heart-to-heart talk, and when he was flirting with his sister, he asked Yang Ping, "Brother Yang, I don't know what the situation is now?"
Yang Ping replied: "The situation is a bit of a crisis, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, and there are several masters in this evil wolf gang."
"Evil Wolf Gang?" Xiao Jiang wondered.
Yang Ping explained: "This evil wolf gang, the biggest bandit in this area, their strength is not because of the large number of people, but because there is a hidden strong force behind them."
seemed to be afraid that Xiao Jiang and the others would retreat, and continued: "But don't worry, Xiao Gongzi only needs to ensure that I and others arrive safely in the "deserted town", and the follow-up will not be for Xiao Gongzi."
Xiao Jiang originally thought it would be difficult to do, but when he heard this, it was feasible, although it was a bit difficult to get into trouble with the Evil Wolf Gang, but Xiao Jiang was not afraid, he might have to stay in Langhuan Blessed Land for ten days and a month, and at that time, he would not be the same Xiao Jiang as before.
Xiao Jiang smiled and said to Yang Rou: "Miss Yang, this deal is done."
Yang Rou heard Xiao Jiang agree, and said excitedly: "Then thank you Xiao Gongzi, when will we leave."
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "Let's go now, in case you have too many dreams at night."
In this way, Xiao Jiang and others joined another group, and the team grew a lot.
At this time, Yang Rou asked Yang Ping, "Brother, is this person reliable?"
Yang Ping smiled and said, "No problem, I have checked it myself, and this person does not know martial arts."
When Yang Rou heard this, although she had some doubts, she didn't say anything more.
Two days passed on the way to the "deserted town", Xiao Jiang was very strange, two days passed, this group of people did not move, suspicious, suspicious, very suspicious.
Xiao Jiang felt that he had to do something, so he called his own guard chief, this person's name was Mu Yang, and he was the only second-rate master among the guards.
Xiao Jiang instructed Mu Yang: "Brother Mu, you lead a team of people and follow behind us, we will go first, and you will ambush this gang of robbers."
After Mu Yang responded, he began to act, and then Xiao Jiang called again, another guard chief, this person's name is Zhang Sheng, and his cultivation is slightly weaker than Mu Yang.
Xiao Jiang instructed Zhang Sheng: "Brother Zhang, you call the two brothers to explore the way"
Zhang Shengying also began to act.
Xiao Jiang felt that everything was almost ready, and he only owed the east wind, so he sent the gang of robbers to throw themselves into the net.
Xiao Jiang thought to himself, this game has killed billions of brain cells, but for the sake of beauty, it is worth it, Xiao Jiang felt tired, and began to rest.
Xiao Jiang is idle, but the Yang brothers and sisters are not, Yang Ping is afraid that these robbers will make a surprise attack, and then they will be active and passive.
When the Yang brothers and sisters saw Xiao Jiang, they didn't care about the danger of this gang of robbers at all, and even went to the point of sleeping.
Both of them thought, is it right or wrong to give their lives to such a person?
But despite thinking so, Yang Ping still did not let down his vigilance at all.
And so, two more days passed, and on this day, it soon became dark.
Xiao Jiang was still eating fruit in the sedan chair, thinking about how to conquer Yang Rou's heart.
Zhang Sheng hurriedly walked towards Xiao Jiang.
Zhang Sheng clenched his fists and said to Xiao Jiang: "Childe, there is a situation"
Xiao Jiang jumped up and said, "Made, it really made me wait, it's finally here."
Xiao Jiang said to Zhang Sheng: "Okay, Brother Zhang, prepare immediately and give this gang of robbers a big surprise."
Zhang Sheng replied: "Yes, Childe" After speaking, Zhang Sheng ran to prepare.
At this time, the Yang brothers and sisters found that four or five days had passed, and the gang of robbers had not yet moved, and they had already relaxed their vigilance.
Xiao Jiang and the others, because it was getting late, began to rest in place.
At this time, an arrow flew over, hitting one of the guards, Yang Ping immediately stood up and shouted: "Prepare for battle!"
Yang Ping looked around vigilantly, Yang Rou had already been escorted to a safe place.
Xiao Jiang was unusually calm in the face of all this.
Yang Ping looked around, but he didn't find this gang of robbers, arrows flew one after another, and Yang Ping's guards were dead and wounded.
Yang Ping found that something was wrong, if he continued like this, he would definitely die, he saw that Xiao Jiang was unusually calm, thinking that he had a way, so he asked, but the result was indeed coming, and Xiao Jiang had no choice.
Soon, the number of guards shrank, and the gang of robbers felt that it was almost over, and they stopped shooting.
At this time, a man with a group of people walked over slowly, followed by a classic line: I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass here, leave to buy road money.
Xiao Jiang suddenly just wanted to give a roll of his eyes, you have laid so many mats, just give me this.
The leader said, "Give me all your money and the woman, and I may consider letting you go."
Yang Ping said viciously: "Impossible, today, even if I die, I will protect Miss"
"If you want to take Miss, then step over my corpse"
Xiao Jiang just wanted to say: Real man, cow! I was touched by you.
The leader smiled and said, "Okay, I know, you're a tough guy, but that's fun, hit me until he can't get up."
Yang Rou came over at this time and said, "Don't, don't touch my brother, I'll go with you"
Xiao Jiang thought to himself: Well, it's almost, this point is just right, and the hero should come out.
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "This big brother, don't be impulsive, you have something to say."
The leader said, "Who are you? with them?"
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "In Xia Xiaojiang, I am not the same person as them."
The leader said, "Since it's not a group of people......"
Xiao Jiang pretended to be happy and asked, "Will you let me go?"
But the leader smiled and said, "Of course, let's kill together."
"Why? I'm not in the same group as them, and besides, I won't tell the government."
"Hehe, yes, but I prefer the dead, because they never snitch, hahaha"
Xiao Jiang thought to himself: He is worthy of being a robber, and his words are really not counted.
Xiao Jiang looked at the sky, almost, Mu Yang was almost here, and he was almost able to turn his face.
Yang Ping was taken out by several bandits, and he was supposed to be executed, Yang Rou thought he was going to die, but his face was already pale and trembling.
Xiao Jiang walked over with a smile and slapped the leading robber directly, at this time the air seemed to condense, Yang Ping, Yang Rou, and the gang of robbers looked at Xiao Jiang with their eyes open.
The leading robber also seemed to be stunned, and after a while, he came to his senses, and the anger in his heart burned brightly.
I have never dared to do this to him, not now, and not in the future, the leading robber, with a cruel smile on his face, said: "This kid, leave it to me, I will kill him myself"
Xiao Jiang was unmoved, and still said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, otherwise whoever dies may not be sure."
Saying this, the robber was even more angry, and with a wave of his knife, he wanted to kill Xiao Jiang, he seemed to have seen Xiao Jiang die under his knife.
At this time, a man shouted from a distance: "Thief, don't hurt my son-in-law", and said a punching bag big fist arrived, the face of the robber.
Then, needless to say, I also knew that the robber was directly sent out by Mu Yang's punch.
That's right, the person who came was Mu Yang sent by Xiao Jiang before, the reason why Xiao Jiang sent Mu Yang was to prevent this gang of robbers from escaping, what he wanted was to catch them all.
Mu Yang didn't care about the life or death of the robber, walked up to Xiao Jiang, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "It is the responsibility of his subordinates to make the son frightened."
Xiao Jiang pulled Mu Yang up and said, "Brother Mu is serious, it's too late for me to thank you, if you hadn't come out in time, I might have died."
"Okay, then the next step is to clean up this gang of bandits, Mu Yang, Yang Sheng?"
"Subordinates are in".
"Kill them all, and leave only the life of the leader."
"Yes, my subordinates are commanded"
Then there was a bloody storm, the sound of killing rushed to the sky, Mu Yang, Yang Sheng deserved to be second-rate masters.
The two of them were like two wolves entering the flock, and everywhere they went, they fisted and fought to the flesh, and soon the two ended the battle.
Xiao Jiang smiled and walked over slowly, helping the Yang brothers and sisters.
At this time, Xiao Jiang had been promoted to an unfathomable and resourceful image in the eyes of the Yang brothers and sisters.
The Yang siblings no longer have the previous distrust and suspicion.
Yang Ping was about to thank him, but was stopped by Xiao Jiang and said, "If you want to thank you, then you don't have to, why don't you think about this."
Xiao Jiang pointed at the leading robber, and the robber had long lost his previous majesty, and his whole person was trembling.
Xiao Jiang looked at the robber and said with a smile: "As long as you tell the truth, I can consider letting you go"
When the robber heard this, he immediately became excited and said, "Really?"
"Of course, I'm a good boy and I like to tell the truth. ”
The robber actually believed it and said, "Okay, then you ask"
"Who sent you?"
"I don't know, I'm just taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others"
"At that time, the man was masked, and he couldn't see his face clearly."
"Well, did the one who sent you say anything to you?"
"Yes, he said that as long as the woman's life is lived, others can get rid of it, and when it is done, give us money and power"
When Xiao Jiang heard this, he realized that this was the same as he thought, this was a conspiracy with a purpose and a goal.
The robber said, "I have already told you everything I know, you can let me go."
Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, of course you can", as he spoke, Xiao Jiang snatched the sword from Mu Yang's hand and waved the sword. The robber fell to the ground, his eyes full of unwillingness and doubt.
Xiao Jiang smiled and said: "I said to let you go, but haven't you heard that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself?"
When Yang Ping saw Xiao Jiang's approach, he felt that he had re-acquainted himself with Xiao Jiang.
Young, ruthless, witty, calm, calm, this young man has a bright future.
After Xiao Jiang killed the robber, he returned to his sedan chair to rest with no one else.
Xiao Jiang was in the sedan chair, but he was not calm, this was the first time in his life that he killed someone, and he still had some resistance in his heart, but Xiao Jiang quickly adapted to it.
In a world where people eat people, mercy is cruelty to themselves, and this kind of person can't survive more than three episodes in this kind of world.
The next day, Xiao Jiang got up early and saw the busy figures of the Yang brothers and sisters.
Yang Ping saw that after Xiao Jiang got up, he walked over, greeted the smiling face, and chatted with Xiao Jiang for a while.
In this way, two days later, Xiao Jiang and others arrived at the destination "Deserted Town".
After entering the "deserted town", I found that the scene here is simply the opposite of the town's name.
After Xiao Jiang saw it, he thought: It's still a "deserted town", who thinks about the name of the town, be lazy, look at this scene, it's not much to call it a "noisy town".
Xiao Jiang escorted the Yang brothers and sisters to the town mayor's mansion, and the task was completed.
Xiao Jiang saw that when the mayor saw the Yang brothers and sisters, he flattered him, so he almost pasted his old face to it.
Xiao Jiang seemed to see something from it, but he didn't say anything more.
Yang Rou, with a light smile, said: "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for escorting you all the way, this is the benefit promised to Xiao Gongzi."
As he spoke, he gave Xiao Jiang 10,000 taels of gold and two cheats.
Xiao Jiang didn't rush to look at it, and said, "Thank you, Miss Yang."
Xiao Jiang was about to leave, but Yang Rou said, "Young Master Xiao, wait, I don't know when we can meet again next time?"
Xiao Jiang said with a smile: "If we meet by fate, I will go to the imperial capital sooner or later", after speaking, Xiao Jiang turned around and left.
Yang Rou was left alone and thought: he said. If there is fate, we will meet, that is to say, we have fate, right......
Xiao Jiang walked chicly, but he didn't know that in the future, he dug a big hole for himself.
