Chapter 1236: Bandits in the rivers and lakes
Chapter 1236 Jianghu Bandits
While teaching Li Qingqing and Yi Zhuxin swordsmanship, he hurried away, and time flew by.
Because we brought an extra 100,000 taels of silver, our speed of rushing immediately slowed down, and it was no longer as fast as when Li Qingqing and I were moving forward alone.
According to my estimate, at this rate, it will take at least two and a half days to get to Luzhou City.
That night, we were not next to the villages and towns, so we could only find a ruined temple on the side of the road to rest.
In this way, two days later, the four of us entered the boundary of Luzhou.
To my surprise, unlike Huainan, which seemed to be peaceful, Luzhou looked "chaotic", and before I entered Luzhou, I saw that the small towns outside were already sparsely populated and the houses were extremely dilapidated.
And most of the people, who are dressed in clothes, are moving towards the direction of Luzhou with us.
How can there be so many displaced people?
I asked Yi Zhuxin to investigate.
Yi Zhuxin drove his horse away, and soon got the news, and came back and said: "In several areas outside the city of Luzhou, there are several bandits committing crimes, robbing houses and houses everywhere, and several neighboring affiliated counties have been occupied by bandits. These people couldn't, so they could only go to Luzhou City. ”
Oh?
Bandits?
No wonder there are so many homeless.
As the saying goes, "prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer." ”
Anyway, wars and the like, it must be the common people who suffer.
After all, the robbers were Song people, so they robbed homes and houses, so they didn't kill people or anything, but the Jin soldiers were different, those cities that were breached, many places, even the population, were also taken captive and taken as prisoners, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled.
When there are many displaced people, there will naturally be all kinds of contradictions, and fights and brawls can be seen everywhere.
Of course, in most cases, there are many people bullying fewer people, and those with more strength bullying less strength, and there are many grievances.
Compared with Li Qingqing's "scheming", Yi Zhuxin is obviously the kind of "vigorous and uninhibited" woman, who saw injustices along the way, so she took decisive action.
It's really hard for her, how did a woman with such a powerful aura refine the kind of charm of "Heavenly Demon Sound".
Although she lost her internal strength and broke a right arm, among the four of us, the coachman looked extremely strong, and she looked very "tough" at first glance, so those little gangsters and ruffians were taught a lesson by Yi Zhuxin, and they could only endure it.
After walking for half a day, I walked to Luzhou City with many displaced people.
When I looked up, I saw that the city gate was closed, and there were rows of soldiers standing at the city gate, guarding the city gate, and the people who entered the city needed to be checked one by one before they could pass.
Outside the city gate, there were already many people lining up to enter the city, all of whom looked like they were all well-nourished and unproductive.
Also queue up.
I smiled bitterly: "Looking at this posture, I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the city until tomorrow morning." ”
Li Qingqing shook his head: "No." ”
She jumped out of the carriage, walked over, and said a few words to the soldiers guarding the city over there, and soon, the soldiers greeted us a few times, and our carriage made an exception and entered Luzhou City in advance.
"Huh, how did you do that, do you know how to do it?" I wondered.
Li Qingqing smiled slightly, flipped his wrist, revealing a silver ingot: "Money can make ghosts grind." ”
All right.
It seems that no matter where it is, the program "go through the back door" is popular.
The inside of Luzhou City is also relatively chaotic, and the overall feeling is that people are panicking, and they have found several inns in a row, but they are all closed.
Fortunately, I finally found an inn, but the price was ridiculously high, about four times that of Huainan.
Sure enough, in the troubled times, the people are the most suffering.
Of course, for us, it doesn't matter if we have four times the house price, just live in some of them.
That night, I was a little worried about the silver, so I simply moved all the 100,000 taels of silver to the room, and continued to move it to the car the next day.
Li Qingqing said that if there are gold and silver things in the carriage, the marks of the wheels, the sound made when driving, and the dust raised are completely different, and if it is a robber who is used to robbing houses in the rivers and lakes, he can see it at a glance.
......
Li Qingqing and I were just starting to meditate when we heard a knock on the door.
When I opened it, it was Yi Zhuxin.
"What?" Li Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "You also want to sleep with us?"
Yi Zhuxin said that he didn't want to deal with her at all, and whispered to me: "Master, be careful, I was at the door, and I saw the marks of the Evil Tiger Gang and the Sky Eagle Gang at the same time, you need to be careful tonight." ”
The Tigers and the Aquila?
Yi Zhuxin has been wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he can recognize the marks of these two gangs at a glance.
"What is the origin of these two gangs?" I asked.
"The leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, Chongshi, is extremely fierce with a fierce tiger fist in one hand, and it is said that he is capable of opening a stele stone; Gong Luyang, the leader of the Sky Eagle Gang, is ruthless and vicious with the eagle claw skill in one hand, and his subordinates never leave a living mouth.
These two people are the two most famous bandit gangs in Luzhou, with hundreds of people each, which can be regarded as a big force. ”
All right.
We were on guard, but nothing happened that night.
The next day, we continued our journey, leaving Luzhou City and heading to Jiangcheng, which was later called Wuhu City.
But this time, it didn't go so well.
After leaving Luzhou City, when I walked for about five or six o'clock in the afternoon, I was already sleepy.
Seeing that it was getting late, I guess I would have to camp in the wild tonight.
It is still a day's journey from Jiangcheng, and it can be regarded as a place where you don't take a village in front of you and don't take a store in the back.
There was a large black forest ahead, and the road went straight through the trees.
Yi Zhuxin looked at the situation and told me, "Master, if the people of the Evil Tiger Gang and the Sky Eagle Gang want to do it, I'm afraid they will be in this forest." ”
Just as we were talking, we heard a "woo" sound in the distance!
After a few sounds, a row of arrows hit the ground, front, back, left and right, all arrows.
I looked down and saw that the tip of the arrow was not pointed, but with a piece of wood, hollow and hollow, with small holes, and the sound of the whining sound was the sound of the arrow cutting through the air.
Ringing arrows.
Since it is a ringing arrow, what comes is also a "ringing horse".
Ringing horses are bandits.
It seems that the Evil Tigers and the Aquila have done it.
Sure enough, after a few arrows were shot, from the big woods, a hundred big men quickly rushed out, one by one wrapped their heads in green cloth, wearing black clothes and black pants, big swords and long swords, silently blocking the road.
Then, behind us, the same sound of arrows was heard, and dozens of horses, diagonally rushing out, blocked the back of our carriage, blocking our retreat, and there was no sound.
For a moment, our carriage was caught between the front and back, and was surrounded inside.
A white man in his thirties walked out of the crowd in front of him and arched his hand to me: "Chongshi, the 'black tiger' of the Evil Tiger Gang, please." ”
