Chapter 1194: Strange People in the Rivers and Lakes
Under the darkness of the night, torches scattered everywhere on the mountain road flickered, and the sound of killing shouts and screams and the sound of weapons clashing broke the silence of the mountain.
The two groups of people fought fiercely for their lives.
Chunxiang and his party of twelve people, five were caught in the net, and although the remaining seven were all top players, they couldn't stand the strength of the other party, and a few people had just been injured and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and at the same time, they had to protect Chunxiang and others in the net, and in a blink of an eye, a few people hung up.
Spell one is one!
The seven of them surrounded Chunxiang and a few people side by side to win time for them to untie the net, and the thief saw that the other party was so fierce and knew that if the five were relieved, wouldn't it be more difficult, and the man with the ghost-headed knife shouted: "Hack them to death, otherwise we won't be able to live in peace."
The thieves screamed and shouted around, and in a blink of an eye, two of the seven people fell, and the remaining five people struggled to support, even so there was a gap in the defense, and several people in the net pocket Chunxiang were also cut a few times, but they also cut a hole in the net rope, and several people desperately drilled out.
"They're coming out, hack them to death," the thieves shouted, and someone threw torches over to burn Chunxiang to death.
"Master Jun...... Oh, what a hero! ”
When the fight was raging, the beggar chased after him, and he was not afraid to see the thief, and went straight to it.
"Where's the madman, get out of here!" Hearing the movement, the thief looked back and found that it was an unkempt and crazy beggar, and he couldn't help but scold.
The beggar smiled, raised the dog stick and sent it forward, and snorted through its throat, and the others were shocked, and they were about to shout and were smashed by one of its sticks, and then the beggar picked up a knife and killed the thief, and the knife fell in an instant to cut over four or five people, and the incident suddenly attacked from behind, the thief was in chaos, and fled in panic, but it relieved the siege of the East Factory, and several people took the opportunity to crawl out of the net, and pounced on the guy.
It's a long story, in fact, from the beggar running to cutting down a few people in the blink of an eye, but the situation was reversed, and the ghost head knife man threw a torch at the beggar and scolded: "It's you evil beggar again, last time you killed my two brothers and let you escape, ...... today."
Before he finished speaking, he screamed, but he was hit by a steel fork thrown by the beggar, and the thieves hurried to check that he had no intention of fighting, but Chunxiang went crazy, swinging his knife and slashing, and he was so angry in his heart that he naturally wanted to kill a few people to vent.
"The wind is tight, and the thieves are crowded, but they don't want to meet a group of deadly, and the leader is injured and wants to retreat, fleeing towards the wilderness by the roadside."
If you want to leave, how can it be so easy, Chunxiang hated these thieves very much, and with a wave of his hand, he turned over and led his men to chase after him, the beggar frowned, and shouted: "Poor Kou Mo chase."
But Chunxiang couldn't manage so much, and chased the thief for miles in the wilderness.
"Thank you for your help, please bear with me for the rudeness before" When Chunxiang and the others came back, the beggar was sitting on the stone on the side of the road smoking dry tobacco, and at this time it was known that this person was not a beggar but a strange man
The beggar smiled, knocked the cigarette pot on the stone a few times, and then inserted it: "What kind of righteous man is not a righteous man, a few military masters have given me some dry food, and it is appropriate to make some effort."
Chunxiang smiled: "If there is no righteous man to help, I am afraid that we are already in a different place at this time, this life-saving grace is not something that some dry food can compensate, and the righteous man will be repaid in the future" Everyone nodded and agreed.
The beggar shook his head and smiled: "I have seen many good players in the south and north, but first-class good players like the military master are rare, even if I don't make a move, it may not be what will happen, you are not an ordinary military master."
Chunxiang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If there is no righteous man to help, he will always pay a painful price, but I really don't hide that we are from the Dongchang Yamen, and I ask the righteous man to leave a name."
The beggar was shocked when he heard the name of Dongchang, and raised his eyebrows: "No wonder you are so ruthless, no wonder there are so many good hands, since you are the errand of Dongchang, can you allow me to inquire about something?" ”。
If others were so verbose, Chunxiang would have been impatient for a long time, but there was a life-saving benefactor in front of him, so he hurriedly said: "Although the righteous man asks, if it is not a confidential matter, he will know everything."
The beggar brushed his forehead hair, and everyone saw his appearance clearly, about thirty years old, with a righteous face: "The overseer of Wendongchang is a civil and military all-rounder, good at using soldiers, and has fought with the thief army and the Tartars in the north, and his invincible battle is true?" ”
"How can this be fake" Chunxiang did not answer, and he preemptively said: "When the factory governor was in the palace, he had the reputation of being the first in the imperial city, and he was even more proficient around him.
"Since the overseer is fighting so badly, why don't you go south to suppress the bandits now that the bandit army in the south is in turmoil?" The beggar was slightly agitated.
"It's coming, it's ...... at this time" was interrupted by Chunxiang coughing lightly, and hurriedly shut up, although this beggar has the grace to save his life, but the way is still unknown, who knows if they are the thief army's fine work deliberately sang a double reed to set information.
The beggar was also a person with eyesight, and he was suspected of knowing that his identity was unknown, so he said: "In Xia Wuzhen, he has a small name in Suzhou Mansion and is definitely not a fellow party of the thief army, so you can rest assured."
"It turned out to be Wu Xiashi" Chunxiang saw that people were so open, and let go of a little vigilance: "Whether to use soldiers or when to use soldiers is a matter decided by the imperial court, we don't know, we can't say it, and I ask Wu Xiashi to forgive me."
Wu Zhen nodded: "It's abrupt" and said: "If you have a chance, can you introduce the overseer of the East Factory to you?" ”
Chunxiang smiled: "The celebrities of the East Factory have changed their color when they hear about it, and the Grand Overseer has been arranged by the world to exist like a demon, isn't Wu Xia Shi afraid?" ”
Wu Zhen laughed: "If the rumors are true, this Dongchang Governor should be a good man with a big heart who stands up to the sky, and he is definitely not a treacherous person...... So what's there to be afraid of? ”
"Just by virtue of Wu Xiashi's words, you can have a relationship with the Overseer," Chunxiang said and frowned slightly: "It's just that we have official business, and the whereabouts of the Overseer are uncertain...... In this way, if Wu Xia Shi has time, he can go to Nanjing, maybe he can meet him."
"I was going to Nanjing, Wu Zhen hurriedly said: "I went to Xu Huai a while ago to travel in this mountain road and met this group of thieves to do evil, and with the help of the outnumbered people and fled, this return trip is hesitating to take a detour, which coincides with the military masters on the way, to be honest, it is actually your military masters who have helped a lot."
Chunxiang and the others laughed when they heard this, chatted with Wu Zhen for a while, bandaged their wounds and continued to hurry, until they went out of the mountain road in the early morning, and agreed to meet them in Nanjing.
This person should be a wonder man in the rivers and lakes, and he will definitely be introduced to the eldest brother in the future, Chunxiang and Wu Zhen chatted all the way, seeing that he talked well, had a wide range of experience and helped each other, and liked it very much.
Chunxiang didn't know that this Wu Zhen was indeed a character, and Chang Yu would definitely be surprised if he was here, because he was the descendant disciple of Shi Jingyan, a famous martial arts master in the late Ming Dynasty.
Shi Jingyan is the founder of the Shijia gun and good at swordsmanship, rich experience in military combat from the military, but unfortunately he died at this time, but he received two disciples in Kunshan in Chongzhen six years, that is, ten years ago, Wu Zhen and Lu Shiyi, but Lu Shiyi is famous for his articles, but Wu Zhen passed down his martial arts mantle and carried it forward, leaving a lot of martial arts masterpieces.
This Wu Zhen has the ability to Taicang people after entering Kunshan, living a poor life and often sending people under the fence, the character is arrogant and self-explanatory, but he is studious and inquisitive, and likes to travel, and he has been walking around the rivers and lakes for a long time and his whereabouts are mysterious, and later generations called him "strange man".
This kind of person is exactly what Chang Yu wants.
