Chapter Seventy-Nine: Heartbreaker
"What a broken door knife, it's just a nickname given by friends on the rivers and lakes, and now in order to make a living, I have to be the guard of this caravan. The friend in front of me knew my nickname, and I didn't know where it was, so I couldn't recognize it. Zhang Hai saw that this person was not a good word as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was not angry, so he continued.
"I am the third master of the Black Wind Village of this Mopan Mountain, since you have passed under our mountain this time, if you don't leave something behind, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to pass. The leader of the bandits who looked like a scribe smiled slightly, "I don't know if Brother Zhang of the Broken Door Sword wants to come to the text or martial arts?"
"What is the text, and what is the martial art?"
"If you choose martial arts, then the two of us will have a scuffle, and life and death will depend on our abilities. If we win, we will kill all of you and get all your goods, and if you win, those who survive will pass through this millstone safely. The scribe laughed.
Zhang Hai looked at the other party, although the number of people was not as good as his own, there were only about 20 people, but if he really wanted to make a move, he might not be able to win on his side. After all, although there were about fifty people in the entire convoy on his side, there were only about twenty guards, and most of them were fledglings who had not experienced much battle.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hai asked, "What about the text?"
The scribe said: "There is no need to use knives and guns in this text, you only need to leave all the goods, and then you can leave safely, and we will not stop you, and we will never harm any of you." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Hai's face couldn't help but change, the goods on this trip were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, how could he give up. Once you give up the goods, how can you explain to the trading house, I am afraid that the rest of your life will be worse than death in order to repay the debt.
Holding back the anger in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Zhang, as the head of the guard of this convoy, wants me to leave the goods behind and steal my life, which is absolutely impossible. This trip is not a valuable item, if the cottage can make way, Zhang is willing to pay a hundred taels of silver to buy the road. ”
The scribe sneered, "It's not a valuable item, are you deceiving me and don't know the details?" These dozen or so truckloads of goods are all fine silk, and the price is more than 10,000 gold, and we just want to go over for a hundred taels of silver, are we stupid?"
When Zhang Hai heard this, he secretly complained in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this group of thieves even knew the goods they were transporting, and this time it seemed that they couldn't be good.
His eyes were fixed on the scribe, and he wondered what to do about it. Since this person can know his nickname, he must also be a person in the rivers and lakes, not just a bandit leader. began to search over and over again in his heart, who was similar to him in the rivers and lakes.
If this person is not a famous master, he may be able to defeat him with his own martial arts, and in this case, he may be able to avoid a fight. And if this person is a master, I am afraid that he will not be able to win easily, and he will inevitably fight with the bandits at that time.
When Zhang Hai was thinking about how to deal with it in his heart, Li Bantou behind him was staring at the scribe with his eyes at this time, looking and looking, he felt that this person seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
Then he turned his head and asked his subordinate officials in a low voice, "Do you think this thief is a little familiar, as if you have seen it somewhere?"
The official next to him stared at the scribe carefully for a while, then nodded and replied, "It is indeed a little familiar, wait until I think about it......"
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly patted his head and blurted out: "I remember, this person seems to be the person on a wanted notice a few years ago, the murderer of the murder!"
When Li Bantou heard this, he instantly remembered that incident. A few years ago, there was a horrific tragedy in Qizhou, a famous master in Qizhou, dozens of the family of the old boxer were wiped out overnight, and none of the old women and children were spared, and the murderer was a famous master in the underworld, and he was a heart-destroying method.
At that time, the matter was in an uproar, and the government issued a wanted warrant and offered a reward for the arrest of this person, but in the end, the person seemed to disappear and never appeared again.
Li Bantou, as the head of a government servant, had also carefully read the wanted notice, so although several years had passed, he still had some impressions of the person on the wanted notice.
Thinking that the murderer of this tragedy turned out to be a thief, and he was just in front of him, Li Bantou's already ugly face became even more ugly.
He walked quickly in front of Zhang Hai and whispered the matter to the latter. As the leader of the guards, Zhang Hai must understand who the opponent in front of him is, so that he can find a way to deal with it.
Zhang Hai listened to Li Bantou's words, and also remembered the famous name of this Ke that he had heard, and he felt bitter in his heart.
This Kenai is a famous master in the underworld, I'm afraid he is not his opponent, I wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, but this plan failed, I am afraid that even my life will have to be explained here. If you knew it, you would have taken a detour and walked for more than ten days, so you wouldn't have to encounter such a killing star.
This heart-destroying method saw Zhang Hai whispering to a person dressed as an official, but he didn't think it was strange in his heart, but urged impatiently: "Literary or martial, let you choose, now give you ten breaths of time to think about it." After ten breaths, don't blame me for being ruthless, and let you all become fertilizer for the flowers and plants of this Mopan Mountain. Ten, nine......"
Li Bantou saw that this section of the river began to count down, and he was anxious, and shouted at Duan Ke: "Slow and slow, we are the servants of Linjiang Mansion, and we are sent by the prefect of my family to go on business, and now we are going to rush back to restore our lives, and we are waiting to attack the official mission in broad daylight, but do you want to rebel?"
Duan Ke sneered: "I'm waiting here to fall into the grass, what I'm doing is a rebellion, even if I cut off the heads of you eagles and dogs, what can the government do to me?"
"Attack and kill the officials, aren't you afraid that the government will send troops to encircle and suppress them?!" Li Bantou pointed at Duan Ke and shouted.
"Encirclement and suppression? It seems that the government has not come to encircle and suppress it. When the officers and men enter the mountains, they won't even be able to catch a single hair of us, so what are they afraid of? Besides, the government will really go to great lengths to go into the mountains again for the sake of a few of your petty errands, and they will not be able to encircle and suppress them again?"
Hearing this, Li Bantou had a headache, and his mind quickly thought of a way to get out, "I am waiting for this time, but to escort the family members of the prefect of my family back home, and it is naturally difficult for us to compare with the family members of the Lord of the Mansion, if you hurt the family of the prefect, do you think my family can easily let you go?"
"Let me tell you, the general of the southwest town guard is the cousin of the prefect of my family, and he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and the sky will fall apart if he stomps his feet. If you really provoke the general to send a large army to encircle and suppress you, do you think this Hengduan Mountain Range can protect you?"
Hearing this, Duan Ke secretly said in his heart that he was in trouble, if what this official said was true, if he injured the official's family, he might attract a large army to encircle and suppress him, and then there would be no place for him in the world.
It's just that this treasure worth 10,000 gold has been let go, and I am really unwilling in my heart.
