Chapter 162: Fat Master, I am the Ancestor of Thieves
The horse team walked along the official road for another two days, covering more than 300 miles on plains, and did not encounter any trouble. Although Tang Jiu Sheng said that there might be dangers in the future, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yu
Shuang still breathed a sigh of relief. After all, after walking a thousand miles, he would reach Yong'an. With the horse team's current speed, it would not be a problem to walk a hundred and fifty miles in a day.
Before the group of people left Luochen County, the official road ahead had already begun to become rugged. This mountain road did not look short. Tang Jiusheng asked the villagers living nearby and they said that there were more than a hundred miles of rugged mountain road.
Tang Jiusheng was obviously not as optimistic as Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang because the mountain road was the most suitable place for an ambush, especially if a horse team was on the mountain road. If the enemy blocked both ends, the risk factor would definitely be extremely high.
Tang Jiusheng rode to the front of the team and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Fat brother, you must be careful. You also know that the Ye Tong we caught is the Crazy Eagle. We accidentally stung a big trap. We must be careful on the road ahead.
There will be trouble. The enemy cannot allow us to take the Mad Eagle to the capital and hand it over to the emperor, otherwise the danger to them will be great!"
The fat man shook his head, "If the emperor knew that the killer Kuang Ying who was about to assassinate him was still alive, would he jump up? He might not even be able to save Yang Jingzhong's head, right?"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Yang Jingzhong's head will not be moved. Although the emperor competes with him for power, relatively speaking, he still trusts him more. After all, without Yang Jingzhong, the emperor's head would have been chopped off by Queen Wang. Moreover,
Putting such a killer in Dongwei as his economic envoy would put a lot of pressure on Yang Jingzhong. If this person tried to assassinate the emperor again, or used Dongwei to do something ulterior, Yang Jingzhong would be in a lot of trouble.
Small."
The fat man chuckled and said: "Old Tang, you guys are full of evil ideas! Fatty, I won't think so much. If you ask me to rush to the front and charge into the battle, there is absolutely no problem.
If you mention the twists and turns in your stomach, you might as well kill me! Old Tang, according to your analysis, what kind of killer will Luo Yu Pavilion send to deal with us this time?"
Tang Jiusheng scratched his head, "Fat brother, let me tell you the truth. Now that the little beggar is gone, there are advantages and disadvantages for us. The first disadvantage is that there are only two first-class masters, me and Sister Shui. The advantage is that iron
Dun is not here, I don’t need to allocate manpower to protect him. Now you are also the main thug, especially if you are clearing the way in front, you have to be more careful! The few girls on our side are really good at fighting and protecting themselves!
"
The fat man smiled nonchalantly and said: "It's okay, Fatty, I have liked fighting since I was a child. I have only lost twice, but once I lost to you!" Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but
He burst out laughing. It was at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion that Tang Jiusheng competed with the little fat man. He spanked the little fat man and made him cry. In the end, it was Tang Jiusheng who used a few bunches of candied haws to coax the foodie.
Tang Jiusheng patted the fat man on the shoulder again, "Brother, the front is completely left to you! The responsibility is heavy, you must bear it. If necessary, I will ask Yue'er and the others to support you! Don't count on He Chunju.
Okay, the few people under him are useless. It might be possible to deal with one or two thieves. But if something happens, we have to protect him! Okay, brother, I'm going back to the middle of the team. You must double the amount when you go up the mountain road.
careful!"
The fat man agreed readily, and Tang Jiusheng turned his horse around and returned to the middle of the team. He also ordered Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue to protect the person named He, and also said hello to the Su family and his daughter. If there was any danger,
You must protect the mad eagle in the carriage behind. If you want to overturn the situation in the capital, it will be a key witness. The Su family father and daughter nodded, slowly slowed down, and stayed within three feet of the carriage, secretly on guard.
Tang Jiusheng thought for a while, and called Song Yulan over, telling her about the possible dangers and asking her to stay with Shui Ruyue at the critical moment. Song Yulan's martial arts level was at the fourth level, slightly lower than Ximen Yushuang, and she could
It's good to protect yourself. The enemies sent by the enemy must be experts. Song Yulan cannot be allowed to take risks.
Tang Jiusheng was also beating a drum in his heart. If it was just him, he wouldn't be afraid at all. He would just run away if he couldn't fight. But now he didn't know where the enemy would start from, nor the size of the enemy. Tang Jiusheng suddenly wanted to have an army of his own.
Guards, a capable team like the Blood Shadow of Pingxi Prince's Palace and Yang Jingzhong's East Guards. Tang Jiu Sheng vowed to build such a team in the future.
The horse team began to officially enter the mountain road. There were obviously fewer pedestrians on the mountain road. Although it was an official road, it was actually in the wilderness. Tang Jiusheng squinted his eyes while riding on the horse, with a drowsy expression. In fact, it was already a wilderness.
He was very energetic, but he believed that the enemy would not make any big moves right away as soon as he entered the mountain road.
I heard from villagers before that this big mountain is called Qilan Mountain. Bandits occasionally appear, but they are all small groups. Tang Jiusheng did not take the bandits to heart. He is now most afraid of the elusive Luoyu Pavilion and Wanshouju. Noon
By that time, everyone had walked more than 40 miles on the mountain road. They stopped their carriages and cooked some noodles on a slightly wider roadside. Tang Jiusheng helped Kuang Ying out of the car and let him eat some noodles.
After lunch, everyone continued to move forward, and after walking for more than 20 miles, fog began to form in the mountains. It was obviously daytime, but there was a feeling of heavy dusk. Everyone became alert and said nothing.
Laughing, in addition to the waves of pine trees, there is only the sound of horse hooves and wheels. It is so quiet.
I feel a little nervous.
The fat man was walking in front, when suddenly there was a gong sound at the corner of the mountain road ahead, and a group of bandits came out and blocked the way. The bandits headed by them were more than eight feet tall, with big eyes, big noses, and big mouths.
He has a bearded face and a fierce look. He rides a bad horse, wears an old suit of armor, and holds a mace in his hand. He looks majestic.
The fat man raised the sledgehammer in his right hand high, and the cavalry behind him gradually stopped rhythmically. Tang Jiusheng saw from a distance that it was just a group of bandits, so he didn't take it too seriously, but he still turned around and told the Su family and his daughter.
, asking them to be extra careful about the carriage behind them, as it was the enemy's plan. The father and daughter agreed, each carrying weapons, and surrounded the carriage where Mad Eagle was riding.
The fat man swung the sledgehammer and said with a playful smile: "What, big man, are you paying for the road? Let me tell you, the fat man is the grandfather of thieves and the ancestor of thieves. If you come to intercept the fat man, you are seeking death and will be punished by the gods.
You were struck by lightning! If you are sensible and pay a few hundred taels of silver to me, Fatty, I will beg you for mercy and save you from being struck by lightning a few times!"
The tall man wielding the mace looked the fat man up and down and smiled coldly, "Little fat man, do you know who I am, grandpa? Do you dare to say such big words? Grandpa, I am Xiao Cheng, the leader of the second village of Qilan Mountain Fire Dragon Village.
A friend on the green forest road gave me a nickname for Grandpa, which means he will live forever! Boy, if you have a beautiful woman and gold and silver, please donate it as soon as possible. Grandpa, I may consider letting you live!"
The fat man laughed loudly, "My son! Fatty has never heard of the nickname of a nobody like you. Well, since you dare to call yourself Tai Sui, you must have some trouble, so let me know how to call you Taisui!"
The bandit Xiao Cheng smiled ferociously, urged his horse forward, swung his mace, and smashed it on the head with a roar. When the fat man saw the bandit charging over, he was not polite. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs and charged forward.
He swung the sledgehammer in his right hand to hit the bandit's mace. Xiao Cheng had seen the fat man carrying a pair of huge hammers, and suspected that they were made of paper. It was impossible for ordinary people to use such a big pair of hammers to lift the capital.
It can't be lifted, let alone a weapon?
As soon as the two horses went wrong, the fat man knocked Xiao Cheng's mace into the air with a hammer. Xiao Cheng was shocked, his arms were numb, and before he could react, the fat man's hammer with his left hand arrived early and knocked Xiao Cheng down from the horse.
, what he saw was lifeless. The bad horse ran a dozen steps further before stopping and spinning on the roadside.
The fat man laughed loudly, "To live a life of Tai Sui right away? Even the bones will be broken now!" The fat man was laughing, and suddenly, a shadow flew down from a tree by the forest like lightning, and a sword went straight to the fat man's back.
