Lao Zhang continued, "Besides, it's night, and the road is not easy to walk, in case something happens and a few of us fall halfway, it will be bad." ”

Hearing Lao Zhang's words, Li Baosheng waved his hand, "Lao Zhang, how can you be as powerful as you say, it's just a night trip, what's the big deal." ”

Lao Zhang shook his head, "The two poor masters, this is not the same, taking a long road is not the same as taking a short road."

If we are in the territory of Montenegro, if we encounter any accidents, we are all from the same county, and we will naturally help.

But it's different to go a long way, you enter between two counties, and if you go far, you have to go across counties.

Coupled with the sparsely populated road, there is a good chance that you will encounter some bad guys.

You didn't see everyone rushing to a long distance, they would form a group, even if there were few people, they would join forces with other caravans to hurry, just for fear that something would happen.

I think if there's nothing urgent, let's wait until tomorrow morning, right? ”

After hearing what Lao Zhang said, Li Baosheng frowned, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Lao Zhang was right, if they were in a hurry now, even if Li Baosheng hadn't walked this road, he could be sure that it would be very late to get to the next place to stay.

Along the way, although Lao Zhang didn't say it explicitly, Li Baosheng also knew very well that maybe there were bandits on the road, wouldn't it be even worse.

Huang Hanming saw Li Baosheng hesitating, and couldn't help but ask, "Li Baosheng, do you think we should go or not?" ”

Li Baosheng woke up suddenly and gritted his teeth, "Of course I went, how could I not go?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng say to go, Huang Hanming was secretly taken aback in his heart, according to his thoughts, since Lao Zhang said that the road was very dangerous, he could only wait until tomorrow to go, but he never expected that Li Baosheng still insisted on going.

"Li Baosheng, Lao Zhang said that the road will be very dangerous, aren't you afraid?"

Li Baosheng turned his head to look at Huang Hanming, and asked with a wry smile, "Huang Hanming, are you afraid?" ”

Huang Hanming hurriedly waved his hand, "How is it possible, how can I be afraid, don't forget, I'm a catcher!" ”

When he said the word "catch fast", maybe it was a psychological effect, Huang Hanming actually felt a little weak in his heart, and his courage seemed to have increased a lot.

Li Baosheng sighed, "Huang Hanming, since you're not afraid, then let's go on the road, right?" ”

Hearing that the two of them were going, Lao Zhang sighed, "The two poor masters, it's not the villain who advises you, we are really slow to travel at night, we walk for four hours during the day, I'm afraid it will take six hours at night, and even more."

If we're in a hurry now, we won't be able to get to the next place to stay.

You have to think clearly, it's not too early now, and once you set out, it's impossible to turn back. ”

Li Baosheng gritted his teeth, "Lao Zhang, don't say any more, let's hurry up, otherwise, I'm afraid the time will get later and later." ”

Lao Zhang was helpless, so he could only sigh and go to pack up the carriage and prepare to hurry.

After a tea time, Lao Zhang packed up the carriage, the three of them got into the carriage, and with Lao Zhang's shout, the horse pulling the carriage took a step and walked towards the outside of the town.

……

The carriage slowed a little in the town, and when he left the town, Lao Zhang raised his whip, and the whip made a crisp sound in the air.

Syllable!

"Drive!"

After the carriage walked for a while, Huang Hanming suddenly turned his head to look at Lao Zhang, and asked with some doubts, "Lao Zhang, you also know that the time is too late, why is the horse still walking so slowly, why don't you let the horse run?" ”

Hearing Huang Hanming's question, Lao Zhang shook his head with a wry smile, "Two poor masters, the villain told you that if you run short, you can also let the horse run fast."

But if you run a long way, you must not let the horse run fast. ”

Huang Hanming was a little strange, "Lao Zhang, why is this, the horse runs fast, the speed must be fast, and the time to arrive at the place is naturally short."

The horses in our yamen, as long as we are in a hurry, we will let the horses gallop, how fast is that? ”

Lao Zhang waved his hand, "The two poor masters, this is different, the horse in the yamen is just carrying one person, but the horse pulling the carriage, you see, we don't have goods on the car, it's just the three of us, plus 1 car, how much does it weigh if you think about it?"

Pulling so many things, if you let the horse gallop, I'm afraid you won't be able to run far, and the horse will not be able to stand it. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhang's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Huang Hanming to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"The two poor masters, of course, if you keep beating the horse with a whip, the horse will run desperately, but I'm afraid that just this trip, the horse will be tired and injured, and the horse will not work.

Two poor masters, my horse is in charge of our family's food, if it is tired, then what will our whole family do?

So, I can only be kind to it, and at best it is good for my family! ”

Hearing Lao Zhang's words, Li Baosheng couldn't help laughing, "Lao Zhang, it seems that this horse is like your family?" ”

Lao Zhang smiled and nodded, "Of course, this horse has been my companion for more than ten years." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhang's tone paused, and when he spoke again, there was a faint trace of sadness in his tone.

"It's a pity, this is already an old horse, it won't be long before I am afraid it will not work."

Seeing Lao Zhang's appearance, Huang Hanming waved his hand casually, and said with a smile, "Lao Zhang, why bother, it's just a horse, it's a big deal to change another one!" ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhang suddenly glanced back at Huang Hanming, maybe he wanted to get angry, but when he saw Huang Hanming's outfit, he remembered his identity, sighed, and said with a wry smile.

"Two poor masters, you are right, I think too much."

Next, Lao Zhang also lost the interest of talking, and silently drove the carriage forward along the official road.

Li Baosheng and Huang Hanming were lying on the car board, looking at the white clouds floating overhead, their mood was relaxed, and gradually, unconsciously, they fell asleep.

The carriage swayed, but the two were so tired that they didn't wake them up, and they were still snoring.

I don't know how long it took, Li Baosheng woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, and saw that it was already a little dark, and hurriedly sat up, only to find that the carriage had stopped.

"Poor master, you're awake, you've traveled too much, let the horses rest!"

Li Baosheng nodded, looking at the darker and darker sky, he suddenly remembered a question, and his face couldn't help but change.

"Oops, we forgot to bring food!"

Hearing this, Lao Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it's just the middle of the night, even if you're hungry, it doesn't matter." ”

Li Baosheng sighed, turned around and pushed Huang Hanming, who was still asleep, "Get up!" ”

"Oh!"

Huang Hanming opened his eyes in a daze and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, did something happen?" ”

Li Baosheng pointed to the sky, "It's getting dark, are you still sleeping?" ”

Huang Hanming muttered and sat up, "Hey, Lao Zhang, why don't we leave?" ”

Lao Zhang said with a smile while packing up the carriage, "Two poor masters, let's leave immediately." ”

Soon, the carriage started again, heading off into the distance.

Looking at the darkening sky, Huang Hanming turned his head to look at Li Baosheng, lowered his voice and asked, "Li Baosheng, are you afraid?" ”

Li Baosheng frowned, and asked with some confusion, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Huang Hanming pushed Li Baosheng, "You guy, the thief that Lao Zhang said?" ”

Speaking of this, Huang Hanming's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"I'm talking about the fact that if there are bandits waiting for us in front, are you afraid?"

Li Baosheng was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and picked up the saber placed on the car board, "Huang Hanming, with this knife in hand, what are we afraid of?"

Hmph, if you want to say you're afraid, I'm afraid they won't dare to come. ”

Huang Hanming nodded hurriedly, and also picked up his saber, "Yes, we have this guy in hand, and we are not afraid of anything." ”

Li Baosheng put down the knife, turned his head to look at Huang Hanming, and said in a low voice, "Huang Hanming, if there is really a bandit coming, when the time comes, we will arrest two or three of him, and we will definitely be tired of a lot of credit, don't you say?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Hanming shook his head with a wry smile, "Li Baosheng, to be honest, I don't recognize this merit, and I don't want to meet them." ”

Li Baosheng patted Huang Hanming on the shoulder, "Huang Hanming, with me here, what are you afraid of, let me tell you, one or two bandits, absolutely no problem, even if there are three or four, it will definitely be no problem, what are you afraid of." ”

Huang Hanming sighed, "But what if seven or eight come, what should I do?" ”

Li Baosheng patted Huang Hanming, "Really, I'm dealing with three or four, you're dealing with three or four, can't we deal with seven or eight?" ”

Huang Hanming was stunned for a moment, "But ......, but I ......." ”

Li Baosheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Huang Hanming, don't be afraid, let me tell you, if there are really seven or eight bandits, let us both catch them, maybe, the county lord will be happy and reward us as officials?" ”

Huang Hanming scratched his head, "The biggest official we catch quickly is the head catcher, do you want to take his place?" ”

Li Baosheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Huang Hanming, have you ever been to Huaishui County?" ”

Huang Hanming shook his head, "No, I've only heard of Huaishui County, but I haven't been there." ”

Li Baosheng nodded, "Do you know that there are two head catchers in Huaishui County?" ”

"What?"

Huang Hanming was taken aback, "How is this possible, how can they have two head catchers?"

We're here, but there's only one Zhang Zhutou? ”

Li Baosheng waved his hand, "Huang Hanming, because in addition to the head catcher in Huaishui County, there is also a deputy head catcher. ”

"Vice-catcher?"

Huang Hanming shook his head, "Li Baosheng, are you lying to me, why have I never heard of a deputy head catcher?" ”

Li Baosheng thought that Huang Hanming leaned in, so he said with a smile, "Huang Hanming, you don't know this, let me tell you, why are there two head catchers in Huanshui County, that's because, in addition to head catchers, there is another person who is quite powerful, and it is a bit condescending for him to be a catcher, so he specially set up a position for him to be a deputy head catcher, understand?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's words, Huang Hanming was taken aback.

"Li Baosheng, if you can set up a special position for this person to catch the head, then wouldn't this person be quite powerful."

Li Baosheng immediately nodded, "Of course, this person is so powerful that you can't even imagine it." ”

Hearing this, Huang Hanming was a little unconvinced, "Li Baosheng, you lied to me, you haven't been to Huaishui County, I'm afraid what you said is nonsense, I don't believe it?"

What kind of deputy catcher, I think it's all your imagination, right? ”

Seeing that Huang Hanming didn't believe his words, Li Baosheng was suddenly a little annoyed, "Huang Hanming, why don't you believe it, I really didn't lie to you." ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Huang Hanming to answer his words, he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the horse pulling the cart in front of him, and said loudly.

"Huang Hanming, did you see the horse pulling the cart?"

Huang Hanming glanced at the horse pulling the cart, "See, what's the matter, is the person you said running faster than the horse?" ”

Li Baosheng shook his head and sneered, "Huang Hanming, if this horse is galloping at full strength, do you dare to stand in front of it?" ”

"What?"

Huang Hanming was stunned for a moment and waved his hand, "Li Baosheng, I don't dare, if you dare, you can go and stop the horse." ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng didn't care, and a hint of admiration immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Huang Hanming, let me tell you, the deputy catcher I said can be stopped?"

"What?"

Hearing this, Huang Hanming was suddenly shocked, turned his head to look at the horse pulling the cart, and after a long while, he suddenly sneered.

"Li Baosheng, do you think that if I haven't been to Huaishui County, you can talk nonsense?"

Speaking of this, Huang Hanming's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Li Baosheng to speak, he turned his head to look at Lao Zhang, who was catching the car, and asked loudly.

"Lao Zhang, let me ask you, if your carriage is running at full strength, do you think anyone can stop it?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Poor master, don't be joking, how is this possible."

The power of a horse is so great, not to mention a human, even a horse can easily knock it away with the power of running. ”

Hearing Lao Zhang's answer, Huang Hanming was even more proud, and said with a laugh, "Li Baosheng, don't bully me for not being knowledgeable, let me tell you, this is impossible."

You look at the cavalry on the battlefield, those rushing by, charging like a sea of mountains, no one can stop them.

Li Baosheng, if you want to say that there is such a character in Jingshi, I may believe it, but if you want to say that there is such a character in a small Huaishui County, I will never believe it. ”

Li Baosheng turned his head to look at Huang Hanming, gritted his teeth and asked, "Huang Hanming, do you think I'm lying to you?" ”

Huang Hanming sneered, "Of course you are lying to me, otherwise, why did you ask me if I had been to Huaishui County at the beginning, wasn't it just to lie to me?" ”

Li Baosheng grabbed Huang Hanming's shoulders and said loudly, "Huang Hanming, why don't you believe it?" ”

Huang Hanming struggled to break free of Li Baosheng's hand, "Li Baosheng, if you want to say that it is true, then you tell me, who was hit and who was the horse, if it is reasonable and well-founded, of course I will believe it." ”

Speaking of this, Huang Hanming's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"It's just that I'm afraid you don't have such evidence, right?"
