Chapter 105: Dongling Pass
Guan Yu wanted to throw himself into Hebei, but the carriages and horses went east, and the east of Xudu was Luoyang. This would have been the opposite of the other, but Guan Yu was delicate, and he was also worried that someone would intercept him, so he would not go west so he would go east. Therefore, my group headed east.
On the second day, they came to a pass called Dongling Pass. Before going to the pass, I found that the investigation was very tight, and I didn't know if it had anything to do with Guan Yu. While I was watching, several soldiers stopped me and waited, and a man who looked like an officer looked at my group with a wary look in his eyes. Walk to the sedan chair, stare left and right, and immediately use a knife to open the sedan curtain. Guan Yu's eyes changed color, and he looked like he was about to have a seizure. Lin Zhennan stepped forward with a smile and said, "General Zhou, it's me who is old and decaying." ”
The officer's attitude improved, and he said, "It turns out that it is the Lin Gang Master! You are a salt seller, who is sitting in this sedan chair?"
Lin Zhennan was stunned and said, "Don't hide it from the general, it's my daughter sitting in this sedan chair." ”
The officer smiled and said, "Your old boy wants to fool me again, isn't the little lady riding on the horse in front of you your daughter?"
Lin Zhennan never expected that Lin Nirong was already quite famous, and many people in the rivers and lakes already knew her, but now she was exposed. Lin Zhennan was not panicked, and said: "The general is really sharp-eyed! This is not my own daughter, just a righteous daughter, but his daughter." As he spoke, he pointed to Yu Long.
Yu Long was stunned when he saw this, and immediately reacted: "Master Jun, this is my daughter, and I want to marry my daughter today." ”
The officer suddenly became angry and said, "Nonsense! Didn't you just marry your daughter last month?" It turns out that this officer guarding the city is not a straw bag, and he has been very closely checked in the past, and he knows all the gangs well. Characters like Lin Zhennan and Yu Long are naturally very attentive, and today the two lied, but they were caught by him. As soon as I saw that this was not foolish, I clenched the handle of the knife, and waited for Lin Zhennan to attack, and then went up and cut off the officer's head with a knife!
Lin Zhennan's face changed, he coughed lightly, and took out a money bag from his arms, about ten taels of silver. Secretly stuffed it to the officer, and said with a wink: "Let's not mention this." ”
The officer understood and said with a smile: "The two masters, this is a happy event for you, I won't delay, let's get through the customs quickly." ”
That's when I let out a long breath. The group quickened their pace and entered Dongling Pass. It was getting late, and they didn't see any pursuers after walking this way, so everyone let down their vigilance. Lin Zhennan proposed to rest in this Dongling Pass for a night, especially the two female dependents in the car, who were already exhausted, and they had recovered their spirits to hurry tomorrow.
Guan Yu's heart was also quite comfortable, and he stroked his beard and smiled. The road was expected to be extremely dangerous, but it was also smooth. If this continues, it will be possible to reach the boundary of Jizhou in less than half a month. Along the way, when Lin Nirong saw me, her face turned red and she didn't speak, but just rode a horse to my side. I don't think so, it's just that along the way, Lin Zhennan's apprentice Xiao Dashi glared at me angrily, but I really didn't know where to offend him.
Guan Yu and I drank a lot of wine that night and went to bed early. I slept until midnight, but I heard the noise of people outside, as if it were daytime. I was sleepy-eyed, and I didn't know what was going on, I wanted to bury my head in the quilt and fall asleep again, but at this moment, I heard a low voice say: "Duan Daxia, come and see!"
I don't know when she actually came to my room, and I blame me for being so arrogant, maybe I forgot to close the door at night. I hurriedly got up, only to see Lin Nirong standing at the window, her face pale, and the torches outside the inn were shining like day. We were startled and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Nirong said: "I don't know, I guess the enemy came to the door." ”
We meant to live in the middle of the city, so that the crumbs who hid in the shadows and couldn't see the light would have scruples. Who knows, it was caught in an urn. At this time, I could only hear a person outside shouting: "Yu Long, you come out for me, our grievances are over here today!"
As soon as I heard someone call for battle, it turned out to be the enemy of Yu Long, the second master, and my heart quieted down. Leaning on the window and looking out, I saw six or seven people standing in front of the crowd, not riding horses. There are one-eyed, crutches, and women's clothes, and so on. This heart secretly left a god: this is probably the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan" called by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of Yu Longjin's last trip to walk the rivers and lakes before washing his hands and avenge this revenge. The rivers and lakes have their own unwritten rules, and there are generally three rules, the first golden rule is that several generations of hatred can be avenged by children and grandchildren, but generally do not harm wives and daughters, creating a tragedy of annihilation; Therefore, the matter of apprenticeship is almost the top priority in the rivers and lakes, and it is not inferior to the scholars and crowns in the Shilin; the third is that once the retreat ceremony is completed, the golden basin has been placed, and the water in the bowl has been poured, then the ordinary grievances and grievances will be invalidated, and from then on, you can laugh at the rivers and lakes, and the grievances and grievances are all yesterday.
I was silently recalling the master's teachings in my heart, but I heard a person shouting loudly: "But Guan Yu is in the house? I am Kong Xiu, the guard of Dongling! You are treacherously going to take refuge in Yuan Shao, how can I not know, and come out quickly to die!" As soon as these words came out, people were desperate, and they felt five thunders hit the top, and they didn't know when someone saw the flaw.
I only heard Lin Zhennan say loudly in the room: "Master Kong, in Xia Lin Zhennan." We are the Wuhu Gang, and there is no one in my gang called Guan Yu, maybe the adults are mistaken, and please withdraw the soldiers and horses, come to the inn to talk, and also testify for us. ”
Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and his words are thoughtful, which not only saves Kong Xiu's face, but also leaves room for turnaround, so that he will not start a fight as soon as he gets started.
Kong Xiu, who was sitting on the horse with an indifferent expression, did not appreciate it, and said slowly: "Catch the bandits, and the idle people will retreat on their own." ”
I could see it clearly, he made a gesture quietly, and immediately a vote of military horses came to surround the inn, about three thousand soldiers. In a certain room in the inn, a man with a rough voice immediately shouted with all his might: "Grandpa was blocked here by you today, and grandpa is overturned in the gutter! But grandpa, I have more than a dozen good brothers in the Wuhu Gang who can change their lives here, and whoever dares to come up to seek death, grandpa is considered a hero! Do you want to go up together, or come one by one!"
But it was Yu Long, the deputy gang leader. Although these two masters didn't know what was going on, he was shrewd, since there was an enemy to seek revenge, he would deal with the revenge first, and then talk about the affairs of the government, and the moment it dragged on. Against two thousand soldiers, this is not fun, no matter how high the martial arts of the people in the house are, it is impossible to carry the female dependents to retreat.
Most of the Wuhu Gang members stood by the window to watch the play, originally thinking that they could pick themselves out, and they also thought that there was a good show of soldiers and bandits to enjoy, but they never thought about hearing these words, and the gang almost sprayed a mouthful of blood on the window. The deputy gang leader is also too confused, what is the problem at this time? Waiting for the officers and soldiers to catch the bandit Guan Yu first, and treat those monsters with more enemies and fewer enemies? Quasi-one-eyed people become blind people, and sit in wheelchairs on crutches...... But now, if this shout annoys the officers and soldiers, how can it be good?
At that moment, the gang members of the Wuhu Gang scolded: "Guan Yu, this bastard bandit, which way is it? Get out and die!" Several impatient young gangsters raised their knives and followed the sound to slaughter the turtle son who crawled out of the pool for not knowing which pool.
Before he went out, Lin Zhennan came to gather everyone into the three houses next door, and no one was allowed to make a move. I only heard Lin Zhennan say: "Brothers, the dart we are guarding this trip is this General Guan Yu, I am afraid that you will know about it in advance, so I did not say it to you." For a while, everyone didn't even dare to come out. If it's just a provocation and fight between gangs, none of them are afraid, but the cavalry and armor outside the inn are really terrifying, they are lucky to survive, and as soon as the big hat of killing officials and soldiers is buckled afterwards, can the Wuhu Gang still gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes?
Although Yu Long repeatedly asked, he wanted to force the people outside the door to fight alone. But there was no sound outside the door, and the silence before the big war was the most terrifying.
Suddenly, I suddenly felt the knife wind blowing in my face, I was shocked, my body leaned back, and a blade broke through the door, and I could even clearly see a trace of the blade only an inch away from my face!
I was furious: If this knife goes a little further, won't Lao Tzu have to gasp with his mouth in the future?
