Chapter 2, Section 2, Barricade and Robbery 204
Walking out for less than a few miles, I heard the sound of fighting, screaming, and scolding at the corner of the intersection in front of me, which was very lively.
How could there be such a sound in such a wilderness, could it be that there was an accident in front of it, and there were really bandits. Everyone hurried to their own hands and urged their horses to hurry forward.
After turning a few corners, I saw a group of people beating around the narrow intersection in front of me, and another group of people were watching the battle from behind. The two sides are fighting fiercely.
Ren Tianqi urged the horse to come to a distance of ten zhang from the people who were fighting, raised his hand to stop everyone, and immediately watched.
Tian Mu Zuo Tianbao had already flown off his horse and stopped in front of Ren Tianqi's horse with a knife and stick.
Gong Mingquan immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, I'll take a look." ”
Ren Tianqi nodded and said softly: "If you can not cause trouble, you won't make trouble, it's important to hurry up." ”
Gong Ming nodded, grabbed Qing Que's sword and stepped forward.
The other party saw that more than a dozen people suddenly came here, and more than a dozen people came up in the morning, each holding knives, guns and sticks to block the way, and a few people actually carried a rope with a flat pole, which turned out to be a gang of bandits.
Gong Ming stopped his horse, hugged his fists on the horse, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, those who are on the way down, passing by the treasure land, please raise your noble hands and make it convenient." ”
A small leader came on the other side, holding a machete in his hand, and shouted, "Hey, I said boy, are you in the same group as those two?"
Gong Ming stretched his neck to look at the place where the fight was fighting, but he couldn't see anything, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this master is not a gang, they are them, and we are us." As long as the master can raise his noble hand, it is easy to say anything below. With that, Gong Ming lightly flew off the horse, led the horse with a sword, and stood with a smile.
Seeing that Gong Ming's skills were far superior to his own, the leader was busy looking at Gong Ming up and down, and saw that everyone behind him was cold-eyed, with a sword in his hand, he couldn't help but shrink his head, coughed dryly, and said: "Hey, are you still practicing the family, look at your kid's skills are not bad, and he can speak, okay, master, I am very talkative." Since you, a brother who is a quick talker, let's not tell lies, and when I turn around and tell us that we are in charge, collect a few dollars, and I will let you wait, how about it?"
Gong Ming said with a smile: "This dare is good, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony." Please also ask the master as soon as possible. ”
Then he turned back and said a few words to the others, and flew back, and said a few words to the man on horseback.
The man on the horse came quickly, a lean man in his forties, with long sword eyebrows and eyes, a red nose and a red mouth, dressed in fine clothes, with a belt around his waist, and a long goose feather fan in his hand, waving it leisurely, and a long sword in the saddle.
I saw this person sitting upright on the horse, carefully looked at everyone, leaned over and whispered a few words to the previous little leader.
The little leader nodded again and again, and said loudly: "My family leader said, it's rare for you to be sensible and reasonable, and things will be easy to do." You have eleven men and thirteen horses, and you will either leave three hundred taels of silver, or two hundred and fifty pieces of silver, and two horses. ”
Gong Ming hurriedly bowed to the head of the house, and said with a smile: "I'm in a hurry to travel, this horse is important, it must not be given, then there is only silver, how can I wait to go out for a long time, there is not much silver left, and I have to rush for a few days to go, and the food and accommodation of these dozen people will cost a lot, I think, this master can - whether -----?"
The master leaned over and whispered a few words.
The little leader craned his neck and said loudly: "No, our master has seen that you are sensible and reasonable, and he has never asked for more, three hundred taels is not a lot." You didn't see the two in front of you, and you asked for a hundred silver, which was already cheap. But there are still too many of them, and they don't pull out a dime, so they don't want to be trapped here, they must be caught back and happily eaten alive. Bring the money quickly, lest the same fate befall you. ”
Gong Ming bowed his hand again and again, turned around and came to the front of everyone, and said in a low voice: "Master, do you think you should give it or not?"
Ren Tianqi said: "Give, save trouble, even the two trapped in front of me are also given, how to say that it is also two lives, just think we are doing something good." ”
Gong Ming smiled: "Master, why are you kind again." Beware of those who have good intentions and are not rewarded. ”
Tian Muzuo said: "Master, people like this can't let it go like this." Didn't the third master tell me not to be a good person, and if I gave money, wouldn't it be a show of wealth?"
Ren Tianqi shook his hand and said, "No, it's important to hurry, go early and return early, and don't cause trouble." ”
A pro-soldier had already taken a money bag and handed it to Gong Ming.
Gong Ming took the money, snorted coldly, and scolded secretly: "The official has sent money to the thief, is there any reason for this!"
Ren Tianqi smiled: "Go quickly, don't instigate." ”
Gong Ming turned around and came back, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the next master said, I will do what your family leader says, but there must be one condition." ”
The little leader was taken aback and said angrily: "Jokes, there are still those who dare to make conditions with our grandfather, you don't want to live, do you?"
Immediately, the man sneered, and everyone under his command also burst into laughter.
The man pressed his hand and said a few more words to the little leader. The little leader stepped forward and said, "Today our lord is happy, and I don't care about you." What are the conditions? ”
Gong Ming hugged his fist at the horse and said with a smile: "The master, our grandfather said, please raise your noble hand and let go of the two over there, and my grandfather will come out of the money." Please also forgive people where they are in charge, and in any case, they are two lives. ”
Immediately, the man pouted and smiled: "Cheng, Cheng, let go, it's okay to let them go, no, but their share has to be double, double." ”
The little leader shouted, "My grandfather said, I want two hundred taels of silver, I want it." ”
The man immediately saw that the little leader was also stammering, and he started with a whip, and scolded with a smile: "You, you bastard, dare, dare to learn from Lao Tzu and me." ”
The little leader scurried with his head in his hands, and the people below laughed again.
Gong Ming said with a smile: "Cheng, here are two hundred taels of silver, and four hundred taels of silver tickets, all of which will be given to the master." With that, Gong Ming shook his hand and shook the silver bag and went straight to the person on the horse. The man took it, shook it in his hand, and smiled and waved his hand behind him. Then I saw a man shouting loudly: "Brothers, there is an order in charge of the house, let those two dog mongrels go, and let them live." ”
The besieging strongmen dispersed with a bang and were about to stop, when they heard someone in the crowd scolding loudly: "The thief who entered the mother and turned the sky upside down, dared to ask Lao Tzu for the passage money." Come if you want, leave if you want, no way, grandpa hasn't played enough, let's watch the fight. ”
After a few screams, I saw that some of the bandits were knocked to the ground.
When the strong men saw this, they surrounded each other, and the two sides fought.
Gong Ming turned over and said with a smile: "Two heroes, don't make any more trouble, my grandfather has already paid the toll money for you, let's go." Why bother to fight any longer, in the end, you will suffer less. ”
One of the people in the crowd shouted: "Thank you for this kind man, my brothers' affairs can be settled by themselves, everyone please go on the road." ”
Another person shouted: "Lao Tzu's business, blame you for the bird thing, take off your pants and fart, this is too much." ”
Gong Ming smiled, turned around and hugged his fist at the strongmen, and slowly urged the horse over. The crowd behind also passed cautiously.
Just as Ren Tianqi walked past the fighting crowd, he unintentionally turned his head to look at the fighting crowd, but he didn't see anything, and urged the horse to walk by.
I heard a person in the crowd shouting: "Stop, I won't play with you anymore, brother, come with me." ”
After a few ping-pong sounds, I saw several more strong men flying up among the strong men, and two big men flew out of the crowd and rushed straight to Ren Tianqi.
The pro-soldiers behind the broken back are all masters in the army, with clear eyes and quick hands, how can they allow people to come close to the general. The two of them had already thrown off their horses, slashed out angrily with their knives, and stabbed with their spears.
Ren Tianqi heard the sound in his ears, his feet were on the belly of the horse, he jumped out vertically before riding, drew the sword with his right hand, and the spotted bamboo sword slashed out diagonally.
The person who came suddenly saw the knife and gun stabbing him, and he turned around in the air, and stood on the side of the road at his feet, not knowing what to do.
When the strong men next to them saw this, they laughed and stepped forward to watch.
The previous little leader stepped forward, took a knife and said with a smile: "Look at you two dogs, you have blinded your heart to lard, and now the world is really corrupt, and it is difficult for good people to do it." A few masters have been kind in vain, such scum might as well be handed over to us to catch and eat alive. ”
Ren Tianqi and the others were also furious, and Tianbao Bao was on the ground and attacked the two people with knives and sticks.
