Chapter 183: Bandits on Yan Mountain
Walking to the door, through the wooden door full of gaps, seeing the shining fire inside, Wang Hou couldn't help but be surprised, I really didn't expect that there were pedestrians here to hide from the wind and snow in this weather, Lu Yifan behind him took a step forward, looked the two up and down, and was about to ask, but Wang Hou had already strode over, and arched his hand: "Feng County Wang Hou, take the family to the county, want to hide from the wind and snow here, disturb." ”
Qin Feng smiled slightly: "This place should have been built by local good people to shelter from the wind and snow, saying that it was a disturbance, but it was us passers-by, and Wang Dongjia was polite." ”
Wang Hou laughed: "Meeting is fate, come here, send a pot of good wine to the two guests." ”
Lu Yifan took the wine from a guy behind him, strode up to the two of them with a smile, and handed the wine over, Qin Feng stood up, nodded with a smile, reached out to pick up the wine jug, and when his hand touched the wine jug, he was slightly stunned, looking up at Lu Yifan, the other party was still looking at him with a smile on his face.
Shaking his head secretly in his heart, he didn't move, a trace of true qi pierced through the wine jug, and the guy on the other side shook his hand slightly, as if he had been stung by a poisonous bee, and let go of his hand like lightning. Gently and skillfully took the wine jug, Qin Feng bent down and picked up a rabbit from the ground, "There is nothing to do on the road, and I beat two snow rabbits, which is also a good material for wine." ”
Seeing that the other party was acting as if nothing had happened, Lu Yifan's eyes were even more vigilant, and his hands were full of true qi to pick it up, but the other party really handed the rabbit over at random, which suddenly made him feel like a punch in the air, and it was indescribably uncomfortable.
The small movements of the two of them, looking at the comfort, lowered his head and chuckled, although his martial arts skills are not high, but his ability to see people is quite powerful, the old guy in front of him, but he is just in his early seventh, he actually dares to stretch out his hand in front of Qin Feng to compete, and Qin Feng is also benevolent, and he did not let him suffer a little.
However, Wang Hou, who didn't know anything about martial arts, didn't know why, smelling the fragrance in the air, he actually rubbed his hands and laughed: "I have wine, you have meat, why don't you just be together, your land, but the fire has been hot, old man, I can take advantage of it?" ”
"The old gentleman is serious, please sit, please sit." Qin Feng laughed, the old man in front of him was very open-minded, and he was very good at dealing with people, and in just a few words, people could have a good impression of him.
The wine brought by Wang Hou is brewed in Zhuangzi, not good, but spicy enough, but it is a good thing to resist this cold weather, and after a few sips, there is a heat spreading when the stomach is neutral, and I immediately feel much more comfortable. And Qin Feng's roasted rabbit, the condiments used in it are carefully prepared by Shu Chang, and they can't be found outside, only a few bites are tasted, which immediately makes Wang Hou full of praise, and without waiting for Qin Feng to give in, he has already torn the rabbit meat himself.
His seemingly rude behavior made the two opposites feel a lot of good feelings, but they didn't expect that there were such characters in this rural place.
"The two brothers seem to be from the south with accents? How did you come all the way to us? Lu Yifan's body on the side collapsed a little tightly, and the short fight between the two just now made him suspicious in his heart, thinking that there were bandits on Yanshan, and he was even more worried in his heart, and he made a tentative speech at the moment.
"We are from Anyang County, Chu State, and we can't survive there, so we can only come out and wander around to see if we can find a way to live." Qin Feng took a sip of wine and replied.
"Anyang County, it's really a bit far from here!" Wang Hou was taken aback: "I heard that there was a battle between the Qin State and the Chu State, and the Chu people suffered a big loss." ”
"The old gentleman is well-informed, and it is exactly like this, the western army of the Chu State has been wiped out." Qin Feng nodded, "Now Anyang County has completely become a paradise for the Qin people, and we can't stay any longer, so we can only come out and break through." ”
"Omen of troubled times!" Wang Hou sighed and said: "Anyang County can't live there, how can we have a good time here, the damn Qi people haven't called over, and now, there is no Ansheng anywhere." ”
"yes, we didn't know until we came here." Shu Chang grinned: "But it looks okay here." It's calm. ”
"What is calm there, it can barely be counted before, although it is poor, but the people are kind, it is also a paradise, and now, it is also chaotic, on this wild goose mountain, a group of thieves and bandits have gathered, robbing past merchants. Aren't you afraid that they will go down the mountain and rob them? Uncle Xu said on the side.
Qin Feng laughed: "The two of us, we have no long things, we are so poor that we are tinkling, what are those people robbing us of?" Saying this, he exchanged a look with Shu Chang, and the two of them were looking at Yanshan, where someone actually took the lead. But I was a little scared to hear you say this, but it seems that we were lucky enough to meet you, and you many strong men are armed with weapons, and those rabble of thieves are afraid and dare not touch your tiger whiskers. ”
"Don't cause trouble, don't make trouble." Wang Hou sighed and waved his hand, "We are all born and raised locally, these people can not be offended, I hope they don't trouble us." ”
"Old gentleman, there are many carriages outside, dragging grain? That's a lot. ”
"yes, grain. If the county levies cannot be delivered on time, our entire Zhuangzi will be implicated. ”
"In this season, why do you still collect grain, shouldn't it be collected after the autumn harvest?" Shu Chang asked with some curiosity.
"Who's to say it isn't? These are all levies, said to be levies for our Dayue army, but I know that these grains are eventually transported to the Qi country, and if we are defeated, we have to bear this! Wang Hou sighed, filled with righteous indignation.
Speaking of these unhappy things, the two of them were a little silent, ate a few pieces of rabbit meat, drank the old wine in the pot, Wang Hou patted his robe, and stood up: "Thank you for your rabbit meat, I am Wang Hou of Dawangzhuang, if the two brothers pass by Dawangzhuang, please go to the village as a guest." ”
Qin Feng and the others nodded.
Wang Hou and Lu Yifan returned to their own work, wrapped in robes and sat down.
The night was deep, and several fires in the house were burning vigorously, forcing the cold air out of the house, except for a few men on duty at night, the rest of the people slept very soundly around the fire, and the snoring in the house was shocking.
Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, gently stabbed Shu Chang beside him, and snorted outside the house, Shu Chang first shook his head, and saw Qin Feng's hand in front of him make a few gestures, and his heart was very surprised, the old guy surnamed Lu before also said that there were bandits on this Yan Mountain, could it be that he really came? But thinking about having Qin Feng, the big bodyguard, beside him, what is there to worry about, he rolled his eyes, turned around, turned his back to Qin Feng, and went to sleep again.
Looking at the comfortable appearance, Qin Feng was angry and funny, shook his head, closed his eyes slightly, if it was really the bandits on Yanshan, it must be for the old Mr. Wang on the opposite side, this cold winter wax moon, I am afraid that the landlord's family has no surplus grain, this old Mr. Wang has more than a dozen carriages dragging so much grain, and it is strange that those guys who occupy the mountains are not red-eyed? But there's a seventh-level cultivator on the other side, so ordinary bandits should be able to handle it, right? Or you don't need to be troubled yourself.
Sure enough, after a while, Lu Yifan on the opposite side sat up suddenly, followed by Wang Hou beside him, and whispered a few words, Wang Hou suddenly became very nervous and stood up suddenly. The guys in the house were woken up one after another, grabbed their weapons in their hands, and rushed outside.
More than a dozen carriages were crowded together, the horses that had been untied to the reins were tied to a corner, and several guys on duty at night leaned on the carriage, their heads were sleeping soundly little by little, and they didn't look the slightest bit unusual, but Lu Yifan's nervousness was not alleviated at all, he took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Is it a friend of Yanshan?" Feng County Lu Yifan is polite here, can you sell face? ”
In the wind and snow, there was a sudden sound of laughter, and the piles of snow on the ground suddenly squirmed, and dozens of people suddenly stood up in front of everyone.
"Who am I, it turned out to be Lu Yifan from Feng County, no wonder you dare to swagger and drag so much grain from my territory? Lu Yifan, do you think I should give you this face? Dozens of bandits on the opposite side were divided left and right, and a man with an iron gun swaggered out.
"Iron Gun Zou Ming!" Xu Yifan's face suddenly changed, "You, why did you become a mountain bandit?" You... You..."
"How did you become a bandit?" The man on the opposite side lifted the iron gun and slammed it to the ground, and sneered: "If you are not a mountain bandit, you have to go to be a slave for the Qi people, Lao Tzu would rather be a mountain bandit, Lu Yifan, if you know each other, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise you will blame me for being welcome." ”
Lu Yijiao's old face suddenly turned purple, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly turned to Wang Hou and said, "Dongjia, this grain, give it to them." ”
Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Wang Hou was suddenly shocked, "Old Lu, you are invited by Yao'er for a salary of one hundred taels of silver a month, how can you be like this?" You know, if the grain can't be delivered to the county on time, the people in Dawangzhuang will suffer. ”
Lu Yifan's face was gloomy: "But if we don't hand over the food to them, we will suffer immediately." The eldest lady gave a hundred taels of silver a month, but I can also sell this life to you, I am both old and young. ”
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, Lao Lu, you Jianghu people, aren't you the most talkative?" Wang Hou was furious.
Lu Yifan's old face turned red, he reached into his arms, took out a silver ticket, raised his hand and threw it to Wang Hou, "This is a hundred taels this month, and I will return it to you." Dropping the silver ticket, Lu Yifan actually lowered his head, turned around and ran into the darkness.
Seeing that Lu Yifan, who was leaning on his biggest arm, actually ran away, Wang Hou opened his mouth and couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
"Mr. Wang, although I, Zou Ming, have just arrived in Feng County, I also know your name, put down the grain, I won't embarrass you, otherwise, I will offend." In a few words, Lu Yifan was forced away, and he smiled and looked at Wang Hou proudly. (To be continued.) )
