Chapter 028: Be the first to strike
It didn't take much time, after Pharmacist Kong and they settled down, the two yacha went downstairs, sat at a dining table, and asked the shopkeeper to serve wine and food, but Pharmacist Kong didn't go downstairs, just asked people to bring the food to his room upstairs.
Soon, the meals were ready, and the two yacha ate with their heads bored, and they didn't even say a word. Li Wenjun was not able to hear any news.
After the two servants finished eating, they went upstairs.
Li Wenjun watched them walk into Pharmacist Kong's room with his own eyes, and he secretly thought that the two yacha would go over at this time, in addition to protecting the wild mountain spirits nearby, I was afraid that there was another purpose, that is, to discuss tomorrow's itinerary with Pharmacist Kong, and the most important thing was when to go out.
This point is extremely important to Li Wenjun. Only when he knew when Pharmacist Kong and the others would go out could he pinch the time, grab ahead of them, block them, and snatch the wild mountain spirits. Otherwise, if he went out late, if Pharmacist Kong and the others had already rushed to Fucheng, it would only be in vain for him to chase after him.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Wenjun sat down for a while, and he got up and left the inn under the pretense of going to the stable to see his horses. After glancing at the stables as quickly as he could, he turned and walked toward the west wall of the inn.
Carefully sticking to the base of the wall, Li Wenjun tried to overhear the movement in Pharmacist Kong's room. He was downstairs, the windows upstairs were closed, it was difficult to hear the movement upstairs, and in addition, he didn't dare to get too close to Pharmacist Kong's room, and what was even worse was that Pharmacist Kong and the others were very cautious, and the voice of conversation was very small, and after listening to it for a long time, he couldn't hear any news he wanted to hear.
Li Wenjun was secretly annoyed, but there was no way. Seeing that he really couldn't gather information, he was just about to go back to his room, when suddenly he heard footsteps coming from Pharmacist Kong's room, and listened to the sound, like the footsteps of two people, and the footsteps went straight into the next room.
Li Wenjun's heart moved, and he hurriedly put down the raised foot again, and stuck it to the base of the wall again, to see if he could hear some of the news he needed.
This time, Li Wenjun's efforts have borne fruit.
With a squeak, the window of the room of the two officials opened, and one of the officials stood by the window, looking out.
Li Wenjun hurriedly lay on the ground in horror, clinging to the corner of the wall, fortunately, it was already dark, and the official did not deliberately look at the root of the wall, but just stared at the outside of the inn gloomily.
"What are you doing? Open the window on a cold day, you're not sick, are you?" asked the yacha, who was standing in the room.
"Li Tou, after a day of bird air, I opened the window to breathe, otherwise, I have to suffocate to death. The yacha, who was standing by the window, said.
The Li Tou said, "I know you have resentment in your heart. But even if you have a grudge, you have to endure it. Escort Yeshan Jing and Kong Yaoshi to the prefect's mansion safely, but the task of the grandfather himself is to mess up this errand, be careful that the grandfather breaks your legs. β
"Li Tou, I don't understand, Pharmacist Kong is also a big man, how can he be like an old lady, he has to take a carriage, he can't ride a horse? If he rides a horse, the three of us will be able to rush to Fucheng in one day, and there is no need to rush so slowly. The wild mountain spirit is a matter of importance, and if it is sent to Fucheng one day earlier, the old lady of the prefect can take the medicine as soon as possible, and we will be less worried about it for a day. The other yacha said angrily.
Li Tou said: "Do you think that Pharmacist Confucius is the same as us, he is a big old man? People are living miracle doctors who can treat the prefect, they have status, status, and their own reserve, such decent people are all in a sedan chair and a carriage, how many such people have you seen riding horses? Didn't Pharmacist Kong say that the old lady of the prefect is not cured by her illness, and she is not bad at it, one day earlier, one day later, there is no difference. Pharmacist Kong is a red man in the eyes of the prefect, he is not in a hurry, why are you and I in a hurry?"
"Hmph, I really don't understand people like Pharmacist Kong, who value face more than anything else, and hurt our brothers and sisters. β
"You kid is less hypocritical. Do you think that if the lord could not trust us, would he leave such an important matter to us? When we arrived at the prefect's master, we offered the wild mountain spirit and then presented the letter of the county lord, and the prefect might be happy, and maybe he could reward us with 120 taels of silver. Okay, close the window quickly, we'll have to get up tomorrow when the rooster crows, don't make a mistake. β
Hearing this, Li Wenjun was secretly happy in his heart, he got all the news he wanted. In this way, he can develop some measures in a targeted manner.
Li Wenjun didn't sleep all night, in the first half of the night, he leaned on the bed with his clothes, took a slight nap, and at midnight, he felt out a rope, tied one end of the rope to the bed, and threw the other end out of the window. Then he grabbed the rope, climbed out of the house, and crept quietly to the stable.
Li Wenjun's skills were nimble, and he barely made any noise. This is thanks to the fact that during this time, he often practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall. With the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, his skills have improved rapidly, and the head of the martial arts hall said that he already has the skills to approach the third-rate masters of the rivers and lakes.
This is quite a high evaluation, as long as you reach the third-rate master Cheng dΓΉ, you can have a certain identity and status in the rivers and lakes, in the cottage or the Jianghu sect, there will be no problem to be a master of the village, the helmsman of the rudder or something.
By the hazy moonlight, Li Wenjun found the location of the horse used by the carriage of the pharmacist, and he grabbed a few handfuls of straw into the manger and mixed some croton powder into it. After that, he found the horse that the yacha was riding, painted a scoop according to the gourd, and drugged the horse.
Whether it is a person or a big animal such as a horse, it is not possible to have diarrhea immediately after eating croton, there is a process that takes a certain amount of time. Li Wenjun's pinch time was to let the three horses have diarrhea halfway, delay the trip of Pharmacist Kong and others, and weaken the combat effectiveness of the two yacha.
After taking the medicine, Li Wenjun returned to his room the same way, lay on the bed with his clothes, and fell asleep. Something was on his mind, and he didn't sleep soundly, and when he heard the rooster crow, he got up. After packing up, he came out of the guest room, took his luggage, and went downstairs, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came to greet him.
Li Wenjun asked the shopkeeper what time it was, and the shopkeeper told him that the chickens had already crowed twice, and in an hour or so, it would be dawn.
Li Wenjun unhurriedly asked the shopkeeper to prepare breakfast for him, and after he had eaten and drunk enough, he calculated the money for the house and the meal, and then rode on his horse, went out of the mule and horse shop, and chased after Pharmacist Kong.
After about half an hour of chasing, Li Wenjun appeared on the road with some mule-drawn dung. These dung are not shiny dung eggs, but a puddle of them, a total of two slips left and right, stretching, extending in the direction of Fucheng.
Li Wenjun smiled and made a plan. He flicked the reins and quickened the chase.
After another meal, Li Wenjun saw Pharmacist Kong and them, and the horses they were riding had weak legs, but they still did not skimp on their horsepower and insisted on moving forward.
The two horses had diarrhea at the same time, and even if they had no experience in the rivers and lakes, they could guess that someone should have drugged their horses. It's not that they haven't thought about defending on the spot or calling for help nearby. However, there were pros and cons to both options, and Pharmacist Kong did not agree, and at his insistence, the three of them could only continue on their journey, hoping that after dawn they would be able to reach the village in front of them, get three more cattle, and replace their horses.
Li Wenjun drove his horse to chase after him from behind, and he stopped, and they stopped on the side of the road, and the horseman turned his horse's head and looked at Li Wenjun who was galloping vigilantly.
Li Wenjun didn't plan to talk nonsense with them, talking too much and making mistakes would increase the risk of exposure, it was better to do it directly, anyway, if he didn't speak, he would snatch the wild mountain spirit.
When he was about to approach Pharmacist Kong, Li Wenjun reached into his arms, took out a paper bag, aimed it at the two yacha and smashed it.
The paper bag was simply wrapped, neither tied up, nor tightly bandaged, and when Li Wenjun made a move, before it could hit the body of the yacha, the paper bag was scattered.
Whew! A puff of pungent smoke came out of the paper packet.
This is some grass foam collected from the manger when Li Wenjun was drugged the horse, in addition to some very fine broken grass, there are also soil and other bits and pieces.
This is a trick that Li Wenjun learned from a storyteller when he listened to the storyteller. Those gangsters often use this hand, which is known as the earth cannon. The materials used in these earthen cannons are usually lime or sand, Li Wenjun did not use lime, because he was worried that if there was going to be wind, when he fired the earthen cannons, he happened to be at the downwind outlet, so he would not clean up the two yamen, but harm himself.
Facts have proved that Li Wenjun's worries are not unreasonable, and a large part of the grass foam in the two paper bags he punched out went towards the two yacha and covered their faces, and some of them let the wind blow and pounce on him. Fortunately, what blew towards him was basically grass foam, and the heavier sediment and other things in it were all hit at the two yacha.
"Bastard. The two officials were in a hurry, and hurriedly raised their sleeves to cover their faces, but their movements were still a little late, only partially blocked, and there were still a lot, so that the wind blew on their faces and rushed into their eyes.
"Phew. The two yacha rubbed their eyes as they spat out the mud and sand that had been blown into their mouths.
Li Wenjun rode his horse to the front, he pulled the reins, circled, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the two yacha again. As soon as he reached out, he grasped in his hand a stick the size of a child's arm, which hung from the side of the horse.
The reason why he uses a whistle stick instead of a knife and gun is because he can cut a branch by himself and do it himself, and if he uses a knife and gun, he has to buy it. The knives and guns sold by several knife and gun shops in Sanshan County have specific marks on them, and once they are left, this is a clue that can be traced.
