Chapter 2: Encounter a battle on the way Knock down the man in black

Qian Jin touched Rhubarb's head, lifted the burden next to him, stood up and walked towards the door; Rhubarb also followed Qian Jin out, and when he arrived at the gate, Qian Jin touched Rhubarb's head, "Rhubarb, go back, take care of the master." Then he pulled Rhubarb's head back, looked back at the master sitting at the door of the dining room, pulled the burden on his shoulders, and strode out.

Along the fairly familiar carriage and horse path, Qian Jin walked quickly, planning to rush to the county seat one hundred and twenty miles away before dark, so as not to need to spend the night on the way or stay overnight in the wilderness.

The cold wind of early winter blew on his body, and Qian Jin, who was walking fast, felt that his ears were a little wooden, and his nose was a little cold, so he rubbed his ears and covered his nose from time to time, so as not to make his ears suffer from headaches and frost.

When he first went to the official road, Qian Jin found that there were more pedestrians, cars and horses, and it was no longer the only one who walked alone on the road in the countryside, but the vast majority of people walking on the official road were cars and horses, and the pedestrians were also in teams of three or five people.

"Hey, young man, where are you going?" Qian Jin shouted as he passed a group of six.

Qian Jin looked back, "The county seat." ”

"Don't go so fast, let's go together, it's not very safe on the road ahead, and if there are a lot of people, it's louder. ”

Qian Jin couldn't help but pause, "I walked through it not long ago, and I didn't find anything unsafe." ”

"Then you must have been more than a month ago, this is a month or so of what happened, the pedestrians are better, those carriages and horses are in trouble, and they are specially robbing those carriages and horses. I heard that there were a lot of deaths in this section, all of which were those who were either rich or noble. ”

"Who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing?"

"I don't know, no one has ever seen their true faces, I heard that there are more than a dozen people; every time they come out, they are masked, if they rob an official or a rich person, they must ask carefully; if they are corrupt officials and rich people who are not benevolent to the rich, they will be killed; ordinary people are generally not blocked, especially those of us who walk on two feet, even if we rob, we will not get much oil and water, at most a few entanglements, not enough for them to trouble. ”

It took two hours, Qian Jin and the group walked nearly forty miles, and listened to them talk about some anecdotes, so that the journey would not be too boring.

Qian Jin looked at the places they pointed to where robbers often haunted, where the forests were dense and the trails were all sheep's intestines, which were easy to escape after robbery, and it was difficult for the pursuers to track down.

"Thank you, everyone, for being with you all the way and taking a step ahead. Qian Jin can't go on so slowly with them, the time is approaching noon, and the journey is not halfway there, so it is really possible that he will not be able to catch up with the county seat.

When he was stepping up, there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Qian Jin gave way to the side of the road, and did not look back, but walked forward at his fixed speed.

"Boy, go with the uncle to work for Lord Wang. A horse walked forward side by side with Qian Jin, Qian Jin looked back, a beard with a full face and a beard talking to himself, there were nearly twenty horses, all sitting people, with swords, there should be a certain origin.

"I have something to do, and I have to go to the county seat to find someone to see a doctor. Qian Jin lied.

"Seeing that you can walk fast, you can become a good soldier, and maybe you can become a general in the future, come with us. ”

"I have something to do, and I have to go to the county seat to find someone to see a doctor. Qian Jin repeated the lie.

"Boy, if you want to be on an errand in the future, you can come to the state capital to find me Zhao Haoyuan. After saying that, he patted the horse and walked away with the people and horses.

Qian Jin continued to walk at a fixed speed, and the speed of forty miles per hour was basically there, and he surpassed many horse-drawn carts halfway, not to mention ox carts.

"Dangdang" and "Qiang Qiang", there was a sound of knives and guns colliding in front, occasionally accompanied by a few shouts and painful moans. Qian Jin hurriedly sped up and walked along the place where the voice came from.

In a small forest not far from the official road, there were two groups of people fighting, one of whom was Zhao Haoyuan and his entourage, who had greeted Qian Jin; Zhao Haoyuan's group was fiercely attacking a group of people in black, although the number was larger than the other party, but it seemed to be at a disadvantage. The man in black! Qian Jin suddenly became excited. Then he tiptoed to the edge of the two warring sides, and looked carefully at the man in black, there was indeed one with a musket inside! The guy was whining and yelling, and I couldn't hear what he was shouting, it should be the group of people that the master was talking about.

Qian Jin didn't carry any weapons when he came out, but he just brought a baggage, which only contained a change of clothes, a few silver tickets and some silver.

There aren't many opportunities for revenge, and I met it today. Qian Jin gradually moved closer to the battle area, to the man in black who was standing on the edge of the battle. The man in black was standing in front of a big tree, probably trying to rely on this big tree to prevent someone from attacking from behind, but in the process of commanding the battle, he gradually increased the distance between him and the big tree.

Qian Jin felt behind the big tree, looked around, there was nothing to use as a weapon, he could only grab a handful of sand from the ground, cat's waist, and slammed out from the nearest place close to the man in black; the man in black who was fighting screamed at the man in black, as if to remind this person to pay attention to his back; the man in black turned his head to look behind, and at the same time the musket was raised, Qian Jin predicted the timing very accurately, and a handful of sand flew to his face at this time; and Qian Jin had already risen into the air, stepped on the right hand holding the musket, and went straight to the neck with one kick; the neck was hit, but the right hand was not hit, the man in black staggered back a few steps, and his right hand hung downAfter Qian Jin landed on the ground, he immediately rose into the air again, kicked the head and neck of the black-clothed man on his hind legs, and felt a solid kick on the opponent's head; after landing again, Qian Jin immediately rushed up, snatched the musket of the black-clothed man, and hit the opponent's head with an elbow; at this time, the black-clothed man staggered to the ground. Qian Jin took a step forward and dislocated all the limbs of the man in black to prevent him from waking up and making a sneak attack, but at this time, the man in black was obviously in a deep coma, and he didn't turn around no matter how he got it.

The time is not long, it is not short, the rest of the black-clothed people who are fighting want to come to the rescue, there are still more than 20 people of Zhao Haoyuan are fighting less; seeing that the black-clothed people here are killed, Zhao Haoyuan and they are even more energetic, and within a moment, they will cut down all the more than a dozen black-clothed people, help the wounded, and the rest of the black-clothed people and weapons are all collected together. Qian Jin studied what was going on with the musket, opened the burden of the man in black, and tried them one by one, and the sound of "bang" startled Qian Jin himself, but he knew that he had played with the musket, and tried it again, so it turned out to be the case.

"Shaoxia, only then did he have eyes that didn't know Mount Tai, and he still looked at Haihan. Zhao Haoyuan walked over and hugged his fist at Qian Jin.

"You don't have to be polite, I also happened to take out all the strength to fight wild boars. Who are these people, and why can't I understand what they're saying?"

"These people may be Japanese people, I have heard that there are many people in the Japanese country who spy on intelligence, loot cultural relics, kill people and set fires, rape and plunder; I heard that they are elusive, and today it is a coincidence that we have met such a group of people. If it weren't for their uniform clothing, we wouldn't have been suspicious, and we were in a hurry to interrogate us, so they pulled out the guys and fought with us, and we were wounded by four muskets, otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult. ”

"Their combat effectiveness is very strong, twelve of them are against twenty-one of you, and they are still in the upper hand. ”

"That's it, these men in black are very good at kung fu, before you came, we didn't take advantage of more fights and less, after you killed their leaders, they were in chaos, and we all took them down. I'll ask the Celestial Speaker what they're doing here. ”

As a result, nothing was asked, and those people were all cut to the last breath, and they were all dead in the process of moving, and Qian Jin couldn't get any information at a glance, so he said goodbye to Zhao Haoyuan.

"Shaoxia, I don't know your name yet, can you tell me?"

"A nameless person, not a young man, just a hunter, I don't know the name. ”

"Since I don't want to tell my name, the young man will ride away, the horses of these men in black are still very good. Then he called a man to bring a horse, and a saber hung from the saddle.

Qian Jin stepped on the back of the horse and arched his hand towards Zhao Haoyuan, "Lord Zhao, farewell!"

Zhao Haoyuan also bowed his hand to Qian Jin, "Young man is easy to go." ”

After returning to the official road, Qian Jin took out the saber and looked at it, the blade emitted a cold and faint light, it should be a good knife; secretly thought that he didn't have a good weapon, but holding such a knife, it seemed a little ostentatious, and he still needed to find a weapon to take advantage of in the future, and he couldn't always go into the white blade empty-handed; but with a weapon, he needed to have a special exercise, and it seemed that this was not a simple matter, and the master had no weapons, so he suffered a big loss in that battle.

There is also a small bag on the other side, Qian Jin took it and took a look, there were silver and silver tickets in it, I don't know if it was Zhao Haoyuan They deliberately put it or it was originally those people in black, no matter what, whoever it is, since it is on the horse, it is his own. Put the pouch in your own bag and hang it in the saddle.

With the horse, Qian Jin's speed increased even more, and he ate Chinese food in a town, replenished the forage for the horse and continued to hurry.

At dusk, when Qian Jin was marching, he noticed from a distance that there was an abnormality in front of him, and there was a stumbling rope in front of him! Qian Jin lowered the horse's speed, pulled the horse rope in front of the tripping horse, glanced around on both sides, and shouted, "Friend, borrow!"

When he arrived in Binxian County, Qian Jin found an inn where he could store his horses, booked a room on the second floor, and then asked for a pound of beef and a plate of vegetables, and ate two bowls of rice. There are many people in the inn who drink, eat and chat together. Qian Jin consciously slowed down the speed of eating and listened to everyone exchange some things.
