Chapter 481: The True Robber is Coming
A baby is a baby! It's true! He said this kind of thing to outsiders!
Nima Di! You're a fool! Can you tell outsiders what your wife likes about other people? Hey!
If your wife knew that you were talking nonsense in front of outsiders, wouldn't she be angry with you?
Seeing that Peng Zhou dared to say anything, and his mouth was open, Yin Shu and Xia Shufeng both despised it in their hearts. looked at Peng Zhou's eyes, with the same contempt and contempt! But! also believed in Peng Zhou because of this. I'm sure he's not an impostor, maybe it's really the "Pengzi" that Lu Zi said.
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
Seeing that Peng Zhou was a little stupid, the two of them both raised their glasses and invited them to drink.
"Drink!" Peng Zhou naturally did not refuse to come, and drank the wine in one gulp.
He was big and strong, so he drank more than the average person.
People with large physiques are naturally more resistant to the acceptance and absorption of alcohol. Furthermore! He had eaten a lot by himself before, and his stomach was no longer hungry. So! More able to drink.
And also! Peng Zhou also wanted to get himself drunk so that he could get a good night's sleep.
When it is safe to do so, it is still possible to sleep with peace of mind. Furthermore! It is also inconvenient to practice cross-legged in this kind of carriage. The carriage was so jolty that you couldn't cultivate cross-legged at all. So! He chose to get drunk and then sleep in Yin Shu's bed.
Yin Shu and Xia Shufeng saw that Peng Zhou was "not refused", as long as you toasted him, he would drink it, and he regarded him as "mentally retarded" in their hearts. Doesn't it mean: well-limbed and simple-minded? This sentence is too appropriate to apply to Peng Zhou's little baby.
Whenever they saw Peng Zhou's stupid comparison, the two would look at each other and smile at each other. Of course! It's the kind that curls up at the corners of the mouth: a slight smile.
I thought: stupid! I'll drink you to death! Our Lu Zizhen : everyone recognizes friends and brothers! This kind of stupidity is more than he recognizes! What else can this kind of stupidity have besides his martial arts?
"I'm going to sleep!" The wine was almost drunk, and Peng Zhou didn't want to drink it anymore. He put the wine glass on the table, pretended to be drunk, and said to the two of them.
Under the influence of Zhuangzi's survival, he didn't want to get himself completely drunk, to the point that he didn't even know who he was. The previous heavy drinking was just for Yin Shu and Xia Shufeng to see. Drink enough, but not outright.
"You?" Xia Shufeng still wanted to irrigate him, so he was very reluctant.
"He's almost drunk! If you don't drink it, you don't drink it! Yin Shu said.
"That? That's it? β
"Forget it! If we drink again, we will get drunk ourselves! Forget it! We also have to escort the goods, or drink less alcohol to avoid accidents! Yin Shu explained.
"Good! That's the end of it! Xia Shufeng nodded. Then he asked, "So?" Where does he sleep? β
Yin Shu was on duty last night, so he was going to sleep during the day.
"Just sleep with me! I'll go sleep with you! Yin Shu said.
"This?"
"That's it!" Yin Shu decided. Then let the coachman park the carriage on the road and beckon the guards to come and move the wine, food, and table. Everything was cleaned up and the hammock was put down.
The hammock was originally bunk and could sleep two people. Today is an exception, so Peng Zhou slept alone.
Peng Zhou pretended to be drunk and let Yin Shu arrange it. Xia Shufeng stood aside, looking at him like a monkey.
"Let's go! Take care of him! After everything was arranged, Yin Shu asked an escort to stay in the carriage to accompany Peng Zhou, and then beckoned the coachman to continue on his way.
"Let's go! Go sleep with me! Xia Shufeng patted Yin Shu's shoulder and greeted.
"Let's go!" Yin Shu responded.
After such a toss, it was already half of the morning. The caravan continued to march, and in order to reach the predetermined place, the caravan did not stop at noon to rest. The people of the caravan all ate dry food and drank cold water.
"Let's work hard, in order not to have an accident, we have to leave the Taoyi territory early and go to the edge of the market. Along the way, there may be robbers! Alas! If it weren't for the delay on the road, or if the time wasn't too tight, the ghost would be willing to take the shortcut of Taoyi! Xia Shufeng urged everyone to continue on their way while complaining.
Because Taoyi is a "new city", the population is not large, so after being controlled by Wei Ran, the surrounding population is concentrated in one place, so that it is easy to manage. But! As a result, the drawbacks are revealed. That is! There were no people everywhere. Therefore! There is a place where the robbers are hiding.
Under Wei Ran's management, the scattered population of Taoyi was concentrated in the city or around the market town. Or! All concentrated in the fertile land. That's all! to facilitate management and farming. Therefore! Places where crops could not be produced, mountainous areas, low-lying river beaches, and so on, became barren areas.
Furthermore! At the end of the Warring States period, the population was already small, and Taoyi was also a battleground for soldiers, so the population was even smaller.
On both sides of the official road leading to Weiguo, Taoyi is even more barren. After leaving the city of Taoyi, there were no market towns or people for forty or fifty miles. Therefore! This area is where robbers and others are most active.
The farther away you are from the city of Taoyi, the less safe it is.
The place where Peng Zhou encountered the wolves was not far from the city of Taoyi, only about twenty miles. Right now! LΓΌ Buwei's caravan had traveled nearly a morning, almost thirty miles, and was fifty or sixty miles from Taoyi.
Not to mention that it is fifty or sixty miles away from Taoyi, it is five or six miles away, and if something happens, Taoyi can't take care of it. By the time the soldiers and horses in your city come out, the robbers have long since disappeared.
"Tss Ji! Ji! β¦β¦β
"Whew! β¦β¦β
That's at this time! Not far away, in the woods, birds flew out of the woods in panic, flying and chirping in the sky. In the nearby grass, pheasants also chirped and flapped their clumsy wings to another place.
"Everyone, be careful!" Seeing this situation, Xia Shufeng instinctively became vigilant.
Instinctively, he felt that he was in trouble.
The birds in the woods suddenly flew away, most likely hiding the horses inside. And! The soldiers and horses hid for a long time, and the birds did not notice when they came. Right now! The hidden horses moved, and the birds found out. So! The birds flew away in panic.
The pheasants in the nearby grass flew away in panic, most likely they had spotted the danger.
The people of the caravan have been walking in the Great Zhou world all year round, so they naturally have some experience. Seeing the birds in the grove flying in panic, they all felt bad. So! There was no need for Xia Shufeng to remind them, and they all instinctively pressed their hands on the weapons, ready to fight at any time.
The caravan did not stop, but simply slowed down its walking. Really! The official road turned a corner and came to the edge of the grove where the birds had just flown away. On the official road ahead, piles of branches blocked the caravan's path. Just as the caravan stopped, a dozen horsemen rushed out from both sides.
The dozen or so horseback riders were all dressed in black and dressed as samurai. Their faces were covered in black veil, revealing only their eyes. They all carried bright weapons in their hands, and the blades shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Acquaintance! Leave the wagons and horses behind! There are a lot of us, let you live. Otherwise! Die! A tall man in black at the head sat on a tall horse and shouted towards the caravan.
Xia Shufeng rushed to the front from the back, clasped his fists at the robbers and said, "We are the caravan of Lu Buwei of the Patriotic Country, and I hope you will sell your face and let us go!" We have our rules, so we will give you a great gift! β
"Generous gifts?" The robber's expression changed and he asked, "How generous is it?" β
