Chapter 12: Golden State Iron Riders

This is the name that attracted Xiao Ziyang and made him reluctant to leave.

The Iron Riders are a well-known horse thief on the Golden State Road. The size of this group of horse thieves is not very large, the team of seven or eight hundred people is only medium on the desolate and desert Golden State Road, and there are not many masters in the meeting, and there are two reasons why this group of horse thieves is so famous. First, Cao Tianhao, the boss of the Iron Cavalry Club, is recognized as the No. 1 master of the underworld and Taoism in Jinzhou and even in the three northwestern states! Second, this group of horse thieves acted unscrupulously and did outrageous acts, and they were the most notorious horse thieves in the entire three northwestern states.

The reason why Xiao Ziyang is so sensitive to the Iron Cavalry Society is not because of their reputation, but because of an incident, something that he regretted for a long time and was condemned by his conscience!

That year, the first time Xiao Ziyang went far with Lei Genghu was to Jinzhou.

He still clearly remembers that it was dog days, and the afternoon heat on the Jinzhou Plateau was unstoppable, and they were sheltering from the scorching sun in a tea shed next to the official road.

Just when Xiao Ziyang was drowsy, a welcoming team came on the official road, this team was also shrugged by the sun, and the drummers were pulling their legs when they walked, not to mention playing musical instruments, the whole welcoming team was quiet, and the groom riding on a big green mule was also dozing off for a while.

Looking at this drowsy and joyless welcoming procession, Xiao Ziyang, who was still young at the time, couldn't help laughing.

He laughed for a while, but he couldn't laugh anymore, because at this moment, suddenly a group of horse thieves rushed out of the woods by the pipe, and rushed into the procession. They're on a killing spree!

This welcoming procession was full of ordinary people, how could they resist this group of wolf-like horse thieves? In a matter of moments, the people who were killed turned on their backs.

Xiao Ziyang grabbed the Pu knife and was about to come to the rescue, but was held down by his father-in-law and another old dart master. watched this group of people kill and disperse the wedding procession, kill the groom, and rob the bride!

Afterwards, Xiao Ziyang, who was filled with righteous indignation, learned from his father-in-law that this group of people turned out to be the strongest horse thieves on Jinzhou Road, the people of the Iron Riding Club, and the yellow-faced man who took the lead was the second leader of the Iron Riding Club.

From that day on, the miserable shouts of the welcoming team, the head of the groom flying high, the beautiful bride, the face distorted by fear and the poignant cry for help tormented Xiao Ziyang for a long time. Therefore, he was very sensitive to the Iron Knights.

Xiao Ziyang listened carefully, but he heard a news that surprised him very much, but he was very happy, this has been a disaster for Jinzhou for nearly ten years, and the Iron Riding Club that can stop children crying at night has been destroyed a few days ago!

The people around them don't know much about the details of the matter, they only know that for some reason, this Iron Cavalry Club has offended Han Mo Fort, one of the ten major sects of Xiliang, not only was the old nest copied, but Han Mo Fort also passed down the Han Mo Order, and a heavy reward was offered to capture the three leaders of the Iron Horse Club who escaped from being killed!

This news made Xiao Ziyang's mood of being ruined by these people feel better again, he first paid for the meal for a few people, and asked a few people carefully about the ins and outs of this matter.

These Jianghu people are also very bold and know everything about his problems. However, these people also know very little, and they can't ask for much useful information.

In a blink of an eye, at noon, under the greeting of the three darts heads, the Golden Knife Dart Bureau cleaned up and slowly drove out of Qingquan Town.

Five days later, the convoy arrived at Shuo'an, the capital city of Ganzhou.

Shuo'an City is nothing in the entire Xiliang Kingdom, but in the three sparsely populated northwestern states, it can be regarded as a first-class prosperity.

Shuo'an City is close to the border of Jinzhou, located in the plain, a horse and a flat river, lacking the protection of dangerous passes, and it is very important as a granary in the northwest. The walls were built very high.

Shuo'an city wall is divided into two layers inside and outside, the outer wall is four zhang high, the inner city is nine zhang high, and there is a distance of nearly 20 zhang between the two cities. At the gate of the city was built an urn city.

The convoy of the Golden Sword and Dart Bureau gradually approached the north gate, and looking at the officers and soldiers wearing Xuan armor and holding knives and guns in the distance, the dart players were quiet.

Coming to the city gate, Li Hu waved his hand, stopped the convoy, stepped forward quickly, paid the city gate tax first, and took advantage of the lack of attention, stuffed two silver pass treasures into the hands of the city gate official, and said: "Official, this car is filled with medicinal materials entrusted by Furui Hall, if you are not at ease, I will let people open the box." ”

The city gate officer glanced at Li Hu, nodded, and casually pointed to the box, ordering the officers and soldiers to come forward to check. Li Hu hurriedly ordered the executioner to open, and the officer and soldier looked at it twice, flicked the spear in his hand twice, and nodded to the city gate officer. The city gate official waved his hand and ordered the passage to be released.

Li Hu nodded and thanked the city gate officer, and the convoy slowly moved again.

The convoy passed through the urn city, passed through another city gate, and entered the city of Shuo'an.

The circumference of Shuo'an City is nearly 60 miles, and there are 300,000 people living in the city.

Entering the city gate, there is a straight avenue that is six or seven zhang wide, and there are many restaurants and shops on both sides of the avenue, and the crowd is like weaving, shoulder to shoulder.

The convoy had walked south along the road for half an hour, and when it could see the majestic state capital in the middle of the city, it turned east and turned into a street.

This street is extraordinarily prosperous, with three or four storey buildings on both sides, and gorgeous shops as high as five or six feet. Most of the people who come and go this street are also richly dressed, and it is clear that they are either rich or expensive.

Everyone in the Golden Sword and Dart Bureau was ashamed of themselves, and they hurried away, not daring to look around.

After a short time, the convoy stopped in front of a wide pharmacy, a three-story building with a width of nearly ten zhang and five gates open side by side. There is a huge plaque above a gate in the middle, on which are written in gold lacquer "Furui Hall" in three simple and simple characters.

Li Hu jumped out of the car, trotted to the door of the pharmacy, and arched towards the welcoming guy: "At the head of the Golden Knife Dart Bureau, entrusted by the Furuitang branch of Shanuchi County, I escorted a batch of medicinal materials to the general number of Shuo'an Furuitang, and troubled the second brother. ”

The guy glanced at the convoy, nodded, and turned and went into the pharmacy.

After a while, the guy came out and said to Li Hu, "Come with me." ”

He took a few more steps forward with the convoy to an alley on the side of the pharmacy and directed the convoy in.

It turned out that in the alley, there was a side door open on the wall next to the medicine shop, and a middle-aged man was waiting at the door.

The guy stepped forward and saluted the middle-aged man, "Three shopkeepers, these are the medicinal materials sent by the branch of Yamauchi County." ”

After speaking, he introduced to Li Hu again: "This is our Furui Hall's shopkeeper Li. ”

Li Hu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the shopkeeper Li, fortunately I am not dishonored, the medicinal materials are delivered safely, and the shopkeeper is troubled to check one or two." ”。

The shopkeeper Li nodded slightly and said, "Drive the car in first, don't block the road." ”
