Chapter 042: The Unjustified Disaster Beggars Help
After leaving the city, Zhao Yu dismounted and let the horse run away on its own.
He only made an illusion of a long way away, and in those days, except for the Mongols and the Jianghu people, ordinary people rarely owned horses. Riding a horse is too conspicuous, especially this place is not far from Fangjiabao, and it is not as solid as Anbu as a car.
There is the tomb of King Hua in the north of Mu County, and the person who is buried is Zhao Defang, the son of Song Taizu, King Qin. This grandson-in-law of Taizu, who is known as a virtuous king in wild history, actually died young, and most of the folk legends were made up by memorials. In the Song Dynasty, Taizu passed on the throne to Taizong, as for Gaozong's southward crossing without heirs, the emperor returned to the Taizu lineage, that is, Zhao Defang's lineage, and Zhao Yu was the descendant of this virtuous king.
Last year, Zhao Yu traveled around the Central Plains, Zhao Yu had come to worship his ancestors, so he was no stranger to the geographical path near the left of Mu County, and knew that there was a village near the tomb of King Hua, and he was going to go there to rest for a night.
Walking into the village, Zhao Yu found that the place had already been empty, and he didn't feel lost. If it weren't for the chaotic times when the war was scarce and the vitality was cut off, who would be willing to leave the homeland where he grew up!
The village is dilapidated, not a place to stay, Zhao Yu rushed to the tomb of King Hua in the dark to pay respects. It was late at night, but he didn't feel any sleep, so he continued along the country road.
When Zhao Yu was approaching, he was about to walk into the woods when he climbed over a mound when he suddenly heard a gust of wind in his ears. His heart tightened, and he was about to make a move, but a large knotted net came to cover his head. The sudden change occurred, and Zhao Yu retreated sharply, but unexpectedly, his ankles were tightly tied by ropes buried in the soil. Then there was a strong pull on the rope, he exhaled and broke the rope, and saw several torches lit up a few feet away, and in the firelight, I couldn't see how many figures were shaking, it turned out that she had unconsciously gone deep into an ambush!
A canopy of black shadows came in front of him, and the sound of breaking the air was terrible, full of strength. In the dark, he couldn't see the enemy clearly, Zhao Yu could only deal with it carefully, rushing close to the ground, but his feet were in the air, and his body fell down!
The trap was more than deep, and several sharpened wooden spears were inserted at the bottom, and in a hurry, Zhao Yu quickly swung his palms to split the wooden spears and crashed into the bottom of the pit. He stood up and was about to jump out, but there was a noise of footsteps on the ground, and he did not dare to move rashly, and he held a flying knife in each hand, and the sword had already been left outside the pit.
After a while, several large nets covered the hole, and the entrance of the cave was brightly lit. The vision turned from dark to bright, and Zhao Yu's vision was completely lost for a while, and he couldn't help but get anxious. This series of traps is calculated by heart and unintentional, and his experience in the rivers and lakes is still shallow after all, and he fell into danger.
"Hey, what's a doll?"
A surprised voice sounded at the entrance of the cave, and then another voice sounded: "No matter what it is, it's not a good way to travel late at night! Everyone quickly fetch stones and smash him to death!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's heart was shocked, the pit was so narrow that it was difficult to move, no matter how exquisite his martial arts were, how could he avoid the stones that fell from above! He raised his arm, and was about to shoot a few people with a flying knife, when he suddenly heard another person shouting: "Let's move slowly!"
"Old man Chu, what is the matter with you? If we delay for a minute, we will be in danger again, and the Huashan faction will chase and kill ...... like a ghost with hanging boots."
The old man shouted: "How can I not know this, I just don't want to hurt the innocent by mistake!"
After that, he poked his head out and shouted, "Is there a little Saburo in the pit?
Zhao Yu's mind turned sharply, and he hurriedly responded, he didn't want to be buried alive by stones.
Immediately, I heard the old man breathe a sigh of relief, and scolded in a low voice: "You reckless men, you don't even ask a question, and you almost hurt the innocent! Xiao Saburo was brought up by me since he was a child, and he fell in Luoyang City when he fled, but fortunately he finally caught up. Why don't you release people out of here!"
Someone asked: "Old man Chu, do you recognize it clearly? Don't be dizzy and be deceived in two or three sentences! How can I not remember what kind of protégé you have?"
The old man Chu snorted dissatisfiedly: "Old man, I am more shrewd than you Lao Tzu, I have more than 100 protégés, do you have to know all of them?
Zhao Yu got out of the hole, and there were still many doubts in his heart. Only then did he realize that it was a group of ragged beggars who had set a trap and attacked him, and these beggars were full of spirits, and they did not have the usual thin and thin faces. The old man Chu was about fifty years old, and his hair was white, so he stepped forward and slapped Zhao Yu on the head, and scolded angrily: "The bastard boy doesn't listen to the teaching, if you follow me closely, you don't listen, this almost death will always teach you a lesson!"
Zhao Yu was full of anger and was about to attack, but when he saw that the old man Chu turned his back to everyone and looked at him, he moved his heart and hugged his head and begged for mercy.
A man in his thirties among the beggars came out and said, "It turned out that there was a misunderstanding, everyone hurry back to rest, and continue to hurry tomorrow!"
The beggars scolded and walked into the shadows, and no one paid attention to Zhao Yu.
There were twists and turns out of thin air, Zhao Yu was full of doubts, and was about to ask a question, when an object suddenly was stuffed into his hand, which was the short sword he had left behind. Then I heard the old man Chu whisper in his ear: "The villains all worship Mingzun, so they are offended." Don't ask, come with me first. ”
After Zhao Yu heard this, he knew why this old man spoke to save him. His sword was given by Wu Jincao of the Ming Sect, and the scabbard had a flame mark unique to the Ming Sect. That old man Chu must have mistaken himself for a member of the Mingjiao because of this. He didn't explain, and followed Chu Laohan to the hiding place.
After walking more than ten steps, Zhao Yu clarified his encounter a little. From the fact that the disciples of Huashan were about to kill themselves as soon as they saw their faces, to the traps laid by the beggars by mistake, it turned out to be a dispute between Huashan and the beggar gang, but he was accidentally injured twice when he happened to be, and it was really unfavorable!
Not long after, Chu Laohan led Zhao Yu into a ruined corner and sat down, only then did he pinch Mingjiao's unique gesture to greet Zhao Yu, and said: "Those traps just now are all to deal with the pursuers of the Huashan faction, but unfortunately you broke in, little brother." I don't know which one the little brother worships in the church?"
Zhao Yu wrapped the sword into the bark of the tree again and said, "This sword was given to me by Wu Jincao, the deputy flag envoy of the Ruijin Banner. By the way, will you arouse the suspicion of others if you help me like this?"
"It turned out to be the brother of Rui Jinqi, no wonder the little brother is so skilled!" Chu Laohan said solemnly, and said: "I am all old people in the gang, and I am carrying six bags now." Besides, these people are all put together all the way, and no one can see through the details without asking in detail. ”
Zhao Yu did not explain Chu Laohan's misunderstanding, and said: "You beggar gang, what kind of grudge do you have with the Huashan faction, how can you meet and die?"
Old Man Chu sighed and whispered: "It's not because of a robbery on the bank of the Yellow River more than two months ago, the Jinyang Dart Bureau killed three dart masters, two of whom were disciples of the Huashan faction. Huashan sent to chase and kill, somehow pointed the spearhead at our beggar gang, the two sides could not get along, drowning in a few battles and mutual damage, Liangzi also became deeper and deeper. Ten days ago, Xian Yutong, the head of Huashan, personally took action, and we were overwhelmed, and we were chased all the way from Luoyang to this point, alas, ......"
Zhao Yu saw that this old man Chu was depressed, and couldn't help asking: "If there is a misunderstanding, why don't you talk openly and honestly? ”
Chu Laohan shook his head and said: "The most important thing is that at the moment, our beggar gang can't wash away the suspicion, it turns out that someone at the scene of the fight deliberately left the mark of our beggar gang Fengwentang, but the seven bags of disciples in Luoyang City who are in charge of Fengwentang are missing again, and there is no news from this gang for many days." The Huashan faction decided that the gang had betrayed the information and colluded with the bandits to rob the silver ......."
Zhao Yu frowned and said: "This is not a false accusation and killing people, it is time to work together to find out the truth, so why is the Huashan faction so confused?"
Chu Laohan sighed: "Although it is a false accusation, the means are ruthless. The Jinyang Dart Bureau's dart journey is confidential, but our beggar gang Fengwentang is the most well-informed in the rivers and lakes. To be honest, now I'm starting to wonder if those seven bags of disciples themselves were greedy and colluded with the bandits, and they couldn't hide afterwards. ”
It turned out that there was such a reason, Zhao Yu nodded and didn't ask any more, but he was a little curious about the beggar gang Fengwentang. He had heard of the imperial history in the court, but he didn't know that there were such organizations in the rivers and lakes. The beggar gang disciples are all over the country, which is a unique advantage, and the beggar gang uses it to collect information and sell it, which is a good livelihood for a million profits. However, this time it caused such a big trouble, but there is still bitterness that I can't say, which shows that those bandits are really extraordinary.
After skipping this matter, Zhao Yu was puzzled again: "You are a disciple of the Beggar Gang, but you have entered the Ming Sect, so nothing will happen?"
Chu Laohan nodded and said: "Not only the villain, but many brothers in the gang believe in the bright and unblemished teachings of the people of the world, which is no secret in the gang, as long as it is not publicized, no one will care." ”
Hearing this answer, Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately thought that the doctrine of Mingjiao watching and helping each other was extremely popular with the people at the bottom, and Xu Du in the beggar gang was extremely poor, and it was common for such a phenomenon to occur. It's just that even the number one gang in the rivers and lakes, such as the Beggar Gang, is soaked in, and the potential of Mingjiao is far beyond his imagination.
Nothing was said all night.
At dawn on the second day, the beggars fled again. Zhao Yu wanted to leave, but he was afraid that he would be affected by the old man Chu who came to the rescue last night, so he was ready to follow a distance, and then leave quietly.
At noon, the beggars arrived at a ferry and were about to find a boat to cross the river, when smoke and dust suddenly rose from behind. Everyone's faces tightened, and they held the sticks in their hands to form a defensive formation, and the old man Chu protected Zhao Yu behind him, and whispered: "If there is a crisis later, the little brother will flee for his life." ”
Zhao Yu didn't answer him, he only held the sword wrapped in the bark, he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the beggars, but he couldn't leave the old man Chu who saved him once.
A moment later, a group of knights rushed into everyone's field of vision, and a six-bag beggar shouted: "The Huashan faction is chasing, everyone is fighting to kill the enemy, don't fall into the name of my beggar gang!"
The fan-wielding person who took the lead in the chasing soldiers was the head of the Huashan faction, the god of the machine. He swept away the beggars with his eyes, and sneered: "You group of gutless thieves finally have no way to escape! You beggars are in vain to call the number one gang in the rivers and lakes, and they actually collude with the demon sect and demons, and the world despises them!"
Zhao Yu and Chu Laohan looked at each other in amazement, looking surprised, thinking that their identities had been revealed.
