Chapter 384: The Road Meets the Rogues

Walking all the way and stopping all the way, the speed of the march naturally cannot be fast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

By the afternoon of the third day, they were still about 80 miles away from Taiyuan City.

At this time, it snowed like goose feathers, and the north wind blew. The cold is secondary, the main thing is that there is no line of sight, and the front is all white, so it is easy to get lost.

It was also a coincidence that after walking for a while, I saw an inn on the side of the road at a fork in the mountain.

This inn was originally a post station, and since the abolition of the post station, the owner bought it from the imperial court and made it into an inn.

The post station is not small, but it is still difficult to accommodate more than 1,000 people. But it doesn't matter, these big coarse people are very improvised, saying that they can block the wind and snow, and it is warm to squeeze it.

There were sixteen rooms left in the inn, and an average of sixty or seventy people were crammed into one room, almost not filling the room.

In the end, the innkeeper was so good at talking that he persuaded a hundred people to squeeze into the lobby downstairs to eat.

So the lobby was also packed.

There were originally a dozen or so guests eating in the lobby, and when these hundred or so people came, they couldn't eat, because many people's butts were about to squeeze on the table.

But these dozen or so people are not resilient at all, and they are still very happy.

After the heavy snow stopped, the weather cleared.

The Jianghe Gang and the Jinyi Guards regrouped and prepared to go.

Qin Shuhuai apologized and gave the boss twenty taels of silver. When the boss saw that although these people were all big and coarse, they were all disciplined and neat after the assembly, and he knew that they were not ordinary people. What's more, many of them were still dressed as brocade guards, so they didn't dare to accept the twenty taels of silver, and in the end they only received two taels.

Just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man led by a middle-aged man who had eaten in the lobby walked up.

Pulling Li Jingting's sleeve, he asked, "How many officials are Jinyi Guards?"

Li Jingting nodded, "Exactly, what's the matter?"

The man said with little confidence, "Official, under Zhang Desheng, I want to ask the official, can you ...... Take us on the road?"

"Why?"

Zhang Desheng immediately said, "Official, more than ten miles ahead, there is a Huangsha Gang. Recently, there is often a group of rogues there, led by what is called Shalihu, this gang of rogues is murderous, very murderous. We are merchants in Jinzhong, and we have bought some leather goods outside at this time, and we are worried about how to get over. Now it's okay, with the official of your brocade guard, we won't be afraid. ”

Li Jingting said strangely, "This place is only more than 80 miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, what kind of rogue dares to be so bold to entrench here?"

Zhang Desheng smiled bitterly, "Official, don't you know, the current rogue is not afraid of heaven and earth. They said that being a thief is a good deal, happy and comfortable. As long as Governor Yang He is here, the court will not treat us badly. Not to mention that it is 80 miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, even if it is eight miles, they dare to haunt. ”

Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

In the face of the official army, the current rogues can run as long as they can, surrender if they can't escape, surrender anyway, surrender without killing, and give money and food for resettlement.

The officers and soldiers are willing to do the same. In this way, after the rogues are caught up, they will not resist desperately, and all of them will surrender obediently, and they will not die if they have a record, how good is it?

This kind of strange tacit understanding between officials and bandits, the last pit is the common people.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said to Li Jingting, "Lao Li, take them." ”

Li Jingting nodded and said to the man, "Then you can follow us." ”

"Hey, okay, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Zhang Desheng smiled happily and thanked him busily.

Everyone set off.

The dozen or so merchants walked in front with Qin Shuhuai, Meng Hu, Lai San'er, Chen Jing, Zhang Xiao and others with three carts of goods, while Li Jingting walked behind with Jinyiwei and Jianghe Gang disciples.

After walking for a while, the more Zhang Desheng looked at it, the more wrong it became.

What about those officials and those thousands of heroes? Why did they fall farther and farther away?

Ouch, the figure is gone!

He hurriedly said to Qin Shuhuai, "This little brother, are we walking too fast? You see that the brothers behind have not followed. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "It's okay, they may have some other things, so they will delay for a while." ”

Zhang Desheng suddenly became nervous, "Little brother, a few steps ahead will be Huangshagang! Just a few of us, if we run into the sand tigers, it will not be a joke! Let, let's not go, let's wait for the brothers who will follow." ”

At this time, Lai San'er smiled at Zhang Desheng and said, "Don't worry." With a few of us here, no matter how many rogues come, we are not afraid. ”

"This brother, youβ€”don't be kidding. Really, I'm not lying to you at all, this sand tiger is very vicious!"

"It's okay, we're pretty cruel too. Lai San'er said gloomily.

Zhang Desheng's neck was cold, and he wondered who these people were?

As he spoke, several black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon in front of him.

It's the cavalry of the Rogues!

Zhang Desheng and some other businessmen turned pale immediately.

Lai San smiled at Qin Shuhuai and said, "Helper, they're really here." ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "It seems that you are lucky." ”

Zhang Desheng was completely stunned, was he lucky to meet a rogue?

If you think it's good, then you can deal with it yourself, let's save our lives.

So he shouted, "The rogues are coming, everyone run with me!"

As he spoke, he immediately jumped up and ran backwards.

Unfortunately, he immediately froze again.

Because there were also a dozen rogues on horseback behind them.

Not only in the back, but also on the left and right.

Zhang Desheng collapsed to the ground.

"Phew!"

More than fifty rogue gangsters on horseback surrounded Qin Shuhuai and the others.

One of them, holding a sabre in his hand, said to them, "Hand over all the valuable things on you, and you may not die." ”

Zhang Desheng and a few businessmen quickly took out all the valuable things if they were granted amnesty.

But Qin Shuhuai and the others remained motionless, and looked at these horse thieves with a smile.

The first rogue pointed at Qin Shuhuai with a knife and said, "What do you see?"

"What are you doing?" Qin Shuhuai replied imposingly.

The rogue, furious, shouted, "Look for death!"

Then a knife slashed down.

Qin Shuhuai didn't dodge or dodge, and reached out and directly pinched the blade of the saber.

The man felt that the blade seemed to be stuck in a crack in a boulder, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.

Frightened and frightened.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "You are the Sand Tiger?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a gust of wind rise on the flat ground, and the snow on the ground fluttered one after another.

In the snowflakes in the sky, a sturdy man in a tiger skin coat quietly arrived.

Then, these rogues shouted in unison, "The golden sands are out of the tiger together, and the tiger roars in the mountains and forests!"

The expression is very serious.

Lai San'er, Meng Hu and the others burst out laughing.

Qin Shuhuai also shook his head and smiled.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Liukou had a major characteristic, that is, they loved to imitate the one hundred and eight generals in the Water Margin and gave themselves nicknames. What are the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Zijin Liang King for his own use, and the king of mixed heaven. This is still understandable, and there are some inexplicable, such as the sweeping king, this Qin Shuhuai has always been very puzzling. Hey, can you sweep the floor in style?

This sand tiger not only has a nickname, but also "has poetry for praise", which is also amazing!

The sand tiger is dressed in a tiger skin coat and tiger leather boots, but it is majestic.

said coldly, "Grandpa is a sand tiger, the kid is looking for me?"

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Looking for you." ”

"Good!" the Sand Tiger sneered, "you wouldn't have died." But now, you have to die!"

"Why?"

"Because everyone who has seen me must die!"

Qin Shuhuai laughed, "Lai San'er, tell him, what is my nickname." ”
