Chapter 027: Sending Darts South
Tianxing spent a few days eating white rice in the dart bureau, and then sent the darts with the dart masters, and the money that Weiyuan dart bureau gave him was not much, of course, Tianxing was not here. The dart masters have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and their martial arts are not high, but they can always return home safely, which shows that they have a lot of experience, and these are also what Tianxing, a rookie, needs to learn.
June is over, and the heat is even better. Tianxing greeted him with another bodyguard trip, and it is also the legendary "dark dart", the destination is the Lin'an Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and the person who went to Lin'an with Tianxing is still an acquaintance, that is, the old Zhou who has a relationship with Tianxing in the broken temple, called Zhou Liang.
The delivery of the dart bureau is nothing more than divided into two categories, one is called a bright dart and the other is a dark dart. The so-called dart is to put out the carriage and horses, show the flag, but everything that can be seen, all know that this is the dart board in the delivery of goods. Another kind of dark dart is more particular, or even the dart board does not know what it is sending, this thing is often unsightly, or the dart board person disguises himself and secretly sends things away, this thing is generally not big, but it is expensive and tight.
The dark dart that Tianxing wants to send this time is the latter, and the goods are a statue of mutton fat and white jade Guanyin, about a foot high, the whole body is as white as milk, and the end is extraordinary. Tianxing doesn't know how much this Buddha statue is worth, but it is obviously not a bargain to make Du Zhenshan choose a dark dart carefully. Du Zhenshan didn't expect that his own pair of children had received two things from Tianxing, each of which was far more valuable than this Buddha statue, and the treasures on Tianxing, as a guard, were even more expensive!
Tianxing disguised himself and became a rich young master who went out to play, and as for his bare head, he glued a wig with gelatin. Only then did Tianxing know that glue had long existed in ancient China, which was made of animal fur and bones, which was not worse than the later chemical glue, and it was also very environmentally friendly.
Tianxing is already a good skin, heroic, although the real handsome guy dares to challenge any hairstyle, even if there is no hair! But Tianxing wears a hood, undoubtedly more shiny, I don't know how many girls and young women have attracted the attention of young women along the way. And Zhou Liang is an entourage dressed as Tianxing, and he can't help but be poorly dressed, and he does it alone.
Since it was a dark dart, naturally it couldn't be fanfare, so there were only two of them in the group. And Tianxing, as the "young master", naturally has to sit on the horse, and the follower Zhou Liang can only lead the horse on foot.
"Lao Zhou, there is no one around, you can go to the Rest Meeting, you are here to work all the way, I can't help it. Walking on the official road, seeing that there was no one around, Tianxing felt that he couldn't go when he rode on a horse, so he persuaded Lao Zhou to come up and sit at the meeting.
Zhou Liang said resolutely: "Young Master Xue doesn't know, the most important thing for us to catch the dart is these details, if I sit on the horse at this moment, others will not be suspicious when they see it? Besides, Old Zhou, I have rough skin and thick meat, this kind of thing is commonplace, Young Master Xue doesn't have to care." ”
Seeing that Lao Zhou was so persistent, Tianxing turned over and jumped off the horse: "I'm tired of sitting on this 'young master', come down and walk for a while, it shouldn't attract attention!"
Lao Zhou knew that Tianxing was to accompany him, and his heart was moved: "Young Master Xue, your body is expensive, how can you compare with me, a rough person, go up quickly!"
Tianxing smiled and said: "I'm just a vulgar monk, no father and no mother, no car and no house, Jin Gui is a fart! If Lao Zhou is persuading me, then he looks down on his brother!" Zhou Liang smiled, shook his head and stopped talking.
The two of them did not travel quickly, and it took several days to get to Zhumadian. Zhumadian is the main traffic point since ancient times, and it used to be the post horse station between Suiping and Minggang, so it is called Zhumadian.
Zhou Liang took Tianxing into an inn, ready to rest for the night again. The two opened a guest room, asked for food, and chatted casually.
Lao Zhou seems to be very good at this, and he keeps talking: "The most important thing in this dart line is the reputation of the dart game and the morality of the rivers and lakes." Xue Shao, you think, the dart has to pass through three mountains and five mountains all the way, there are countless rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many strongmen and thieves there are in these places. Even if a dart game is full of masters and countless strong people, it has to fight every time it crosses a mountain, and it can't stand it. Therefore, the dart game often has to make good friends with various mountains, so that it can be worry-free all the way. If you run into some wild bandits, this is when the game needs to be used. ”
Tianxing nodded, the dart bureau can ensure a safe journey by spending some money and food on the bandits, and the thieves only need to wave their flags and shout without sacrificing their lives to fight, they can eat meat in a big way, and the two sides are mutually beneficial.
Lao Zhou said: "The most taboo of darts is to take unfamiliar routes, because you don't know the strongmen on these mountains, so each dart game has its own fixed sphere of influence, if it exceeds its own range, we often no longer deliver." There is also this store, and the ones we are looking for are all old and familiar stores, so that we can eat and live at ease, and we are not afraid of being harmed. ”
Speaking of this, Lao Zhou said in a low voice: "Xue Shao, look at this store, it has been trading for decades, and the shopkeeper is also an old man." If this inn is still there one day, but the shopkeeper Xiao Er has changed, the store will no longer be able to live. ”
Tianxingdao: "If you don't meet the old store one day, can you only sleep in the mountains?"
"Yes, that's how they are. It's hard to expand your reputation, but it's only a matter of time before you want to ruin it, so it's always right to be careful. ”
Tianxing couldn't help but think of his previous life, when he bought something to celebrate Singles' Day, but the courier was very weak, and when the things arrived, he forgot to buy something! Seeing that people in this era even used their lives to maintain their reputation, Tianxing was in awe of them.
Zhou Liang was already tired after a day of travel, and he went to sleep after talking again, while Tianxing was a thunderous meditation and cultivation.
The night was already dark, and Tianxing was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the room, and Tianxing didn't care about it. It's just that after a while, there was a strange fragrance in the room, Tianxing was in a hurry, isn't this a decades-old shop, why do you still want to make money and kill people?
Tianxing is full of miraculous skills, and his physique is different from ordinary people, so he is naturally not afraid of this little drug, and he is lying on the bed and pretending to be unconscious, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.
After only a few moments, the voice of the shopkeeper was heard: "These two guys should have passed out, you go and tie them up!"
Then two people pushed the door in lightly, and Tianxing's eyesight was excellent, and he saw that these two people had no knives in their hands, only long ropes. Tianxing didn't move, and the two of them only thought that he was unconscious, tied up Tianxing and Zhou Liang, and didn't grope for the luggage package, and carried it out directly.
Tianxing was even more curious in his heart, isn't this a murder for money, wouldn't it be easy to kill it directly, what do you do if the rope is tied?
