Volume 2 The dust is not over, but the new path is still Chapter 4 Halfway to robbery
Tang Li looked at Wang Linchuan, who had a sincere face, and said: "It is excellent for an official to be able to serve his duties and keep his integrity, but how many of them can be like this? As the saying goes, if you always walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet; if your boss is a corrupt official and is insatiably greedy, and your subordinates come to bribe you, what should you do? Do you accept bribes and continue to bribe your superiors in order to win the eyes of your superiors and seek promotion? Or do you expose your superiors and investigate your subordinates?"
"I ...... I can't tell. Wang Linchuan covered his head and said.
"I'm really embarrassed for you, why am I talking to you children, I talk a lot today, if Wenchen doesn't love money, and Wuchen doesn't hesitate to die, maybe there will really be a peaceful day in the world, it's a pity!"
After speaking, Tang Li took the lead, and he spoke again; The two juniors are behind, I will take the first step, as for the two little guys, I will trouble the two juniors to take care of them more, I will go to the front to explore the way, in case there is an ambush. Tang finished talking and went away.
"Senior Brother Shen, you see, our journey is nearly halfway there, as long as we cross this dirt mountain, we will be able to reach the Shimen in two days, we have also gone back and forth several times in the past, and there is nothing wrong, do you think Senior Brother Tang is too careful?"
"Senior brother, this is a bad statement, be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old boat, walk non-slip, eat to prevent choking, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, it's always not wrong to be careful. ”
"Well, even if I am too careful, my senior brother is also thinking about our safety. ”
A few people were silent, just in a hurry, but they didn't expect that not long after they walked through the forest road, a person's head poked out in the grass on the side of the road.
I saw that the man's head was full of meat, and a scar was straight from the corner of the left eye to the left corner of the mouth, and there was a cloudy and misty look, which looked like he was blind, but he was a man with a scarred face.
Scarface looked at the direction where Wang Linchuan and his party had just left, and just nodded, revealing a weird smile.
It was at this moment that a flying shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, and the flying shadow came extremely fast, flying above Scarface's face in the blink of an eye.
Scarface waved his hand at the Flying Shadow, and the Flying Shadow flew down to him, resting on his shoulder, it turned out to be a handsome goshawk, its fur was brown, its four claws were as sharp as knives, its beak was like a scimitar, and its eyes were extremely sharp, and it was an air overlord.
Scarface picks up four pebbles from the ground, tears off his sleeves to wrap them, and ties them to the Hawk's Legs.
The goshawk flapped its wings and walked away, and Scarface smiled with satisfaction, and then disappeared again in the shade of grass.
Wang Linchuan's team had already walked to the center of the woods, which were overgrown with weeds and almost covered the ground.
At this time, it was the hottest time of the day, and the group was sweating and panting, and the horses were also sleepy, panting, and reluctantly walking hard.
"Everyone, we must get out of this forest before it gets dark, otherwise there will be less luck, this place is suitable for bandits to ambush, and there are wild beasts around, which is really very disadvantageous to us!" Shen Wan said, and the rest of the people couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement after looking at the terrain.
After walking a little further, a flying shadow in the sky passed over their heads, and at this moment, the mutation startled!
In the middle of the forest, a large net covered Wang Linchuan and his party without warning, and they became birds in the net.
"What's going on?"
"Quiet!" ...... The horse neighed, and people shouted one after another, and then the king of the mountain appeared, and the person who came did not have the intention of hiding his identity, but put the knife on the necks of the two adults in a few quick steps.
Wang Linchuan saw that there were a total of twelve people, all of whom were men, six of them had knives in their hands, two of them had crossbows, three of them had axes, and one of them was holding a sword.
At this time, Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua were very close, the two held hands, and they were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they didn't dare to speak, but they didn't notice that the palms of their hands were sweating at this time.
"A few of you must have been waiting here for a long time, right?
The man with the sword: "Yes, the so-called spending money to eliminate disasters, a few people might as well stay and buy road money, and this horse, we also want it!", Wang Linchuan looked at the person with the sword, only to see that his eyebrows were clear, but his sloppy appearance with his companion seemed out of place.
"Slow, we are the disciples of Wuji Gate, this time we were ordered by the master to go down the mountain to do errands, just passing by here, and please raise your noble hand and let me go back, I will wait as if I have never encountered you!" Shen Wan said again, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.
The man with the sword hesitated, and was about to say something, when suddenly, a figure rushed in front of him at a very fast speed, but everyone in the audience did not have time to see the person's face clearly.
At this time, the man with the sword was also taken aback, he hurriedly shouted to cheer for himself, and then quickly took two steps back, and slashed at the person with his sword without hesitation.
However, a strange scene appeared, only to see that the sharp sword that slashed down was caught by two fingers, and the man with the sword wanted to withdraw the sword, but he didn't expect that the sword could not shake the two fingers, and even the hand holding the sword was blue, and the forehead was even more bruised, sweaty, and his eyes were bloodshot.
At this time, everyone in the audience saw the person who came clearly, and at the same time, their hearts also mentioned that the person who came was Tang Li, who was with Wang Linchuan and others not long ago.
"Your Excellency's martial arts are strong, far inferior to below, and you are willing to admit defeat and let them go free, so good?" Seeing that there was no way to come, the man with the sword faced the humanity in front of him.
"A word is a certainty!" As soon as the words fell, Tang Li slowly withdrew his hand, his face calm, as if he was not afraid of the man with the sword attacking him at all.
The man with the sword also put away his sword, and at the same time glanced at his companion, the net covering Wang Linchuan and his party was removed by his companion, and the knife on the necks of Shen Wan and Luo Liang was also put away by his companion.
After regaining their freedom, Wang Linchuan and his party immediately came to Tang Li's side and were vigilant against the people around them.
"Don't be nervous, junior brothers, we are still safe now, it was just a misunderstanding just now, brother, right?" Tang Li first appeased Wang Linchuan and his party, and then looked at the man with the sword and said.
"Well, it's really a misunderstanding, thank you for the mercy of Brother Tai's subordinates, dare to ask Brother Tai's name?" The man with the sword barely squeezed out a meaningful smile and said embarrassedly.
Tang Li looked at the group of people who seemed to be led by the man with the sword: "You don't have to be nervous, I think you don't seem to have a good time, you can take this silver, you should make a friend, my name is Tang Li." After finishing speaking, Tang Li took out a bag from his arms and threw it at the man with the sword.
The man with the sword took the bag thrown by Tang Li in surprise, and then said, "Is Your Excellency really willing to let us go?"
"Release, why can't I let it go? You didn't hurt me and my junior brothers, you can do it yourself. ”
"In Xia Fan Forest, there are many offenses today, please Haihan, in addition, the great grace is not grateful, I will say goodbye in the next place!"
"Senior brother, why didn't you leave them behind just now, if you hand them over to the government, maybe you can get a bounty?"
"Senior brother, you are wrong, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, besides, this group of people is in rags, and they don't look like a vicious person, you see that the person who is the leader, favoritism is like a Confucian student, and even his speech is crepe, he looks like a down-and-out scholar, but for some reason, he is a fallen grass. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother. Seeing that Tang Li didn't want to pursue those people, Luo Liang had no choice but to say.
"Senior brothers, if I hadn't shown up just now, what would you have done?"
"I ...... I, because I am not good at learning, has humiliated my teacher. Luo Liang said ashamedly.
Shen Wan was ashamed and bowed his head silently, as did Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua.
Tang Li said: "Well, eat a trench, grow a wisdom, in the final analysis, or your own strength is the most important, I said earlier that I want to explore the way, in order to prevent something like this from happening, however, you are too ungrown, I just want to see how you deal with it, the result is ...... Ay. ”
Hearing Tang Li say this, several people lowered their heads, silent, and their faces turned even redder.
Fortunately, Tang Li did not continue this topic, he appeased everyone again, and took the lead again, exploring the way ahead, Wang Linchuan and the others saw Tang Li leaving, so they raised their heads, and at the same time breathed a big breath of air, just now it was too shameless.
Wang Linchuan and his entourage walked for a while, and there was no trouble along the way, and finally, several people finally walked out of the woods and headed towards Wuji Gate.
At the other end of the woods, Scarface was being punched and kicked by a group of people who were the same as Fan Forest and his party, who had just retreated. As for the reason why Scarface was punched and kicked, it was naturally because his intelligence work was not done well, which caused his companions to run into hard stubble, not to mention, and made the boss lose face.
Speaking of which, Wang Linchuan and his entourage encountered robbers, but it was just a false alarm.
After a few more days, Qingling Mountain was already far away, and it was also in these few days that several Wuji Sect disciples Tang Li seemed to be very active in hunting.
Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua were a little puzzled, and only after Shen Wan told them that although Qingling Mountain was in a remote place, there were nearly a thousand disciples.
Originally, people who practice martial arts are extraordinary, and where can birds and beasts withstand this way of eating.
Seeing that they were about to reach the top of Qingling Mountain, Tang Li and the others seized the time to catch some game, and planned to take it back, which could be regarded as a solution to their hunger, and it was cheap Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua along the way.
Although the two of them are in a wealthy family, they are accustomed to eating precious and delicious food, but they rarely eat wild meat.
Tang Li and others have superb cooking skills, and simple meat can often be full of color and taste, which makes Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua articulate and never get tired of eating, and there are more laughter after a tiring trip in the past few days, but unfortunately a wonderful trip is about to end.
Three days later, Tang Li and the others finally arrived at the foot of Qingling Mountain.
