Chapter 0102: The expected ambush
On the surface, Ding Yang has begun the necessary preparations.
The most inconspicuous thing is a cowhide belt around the waist.
By the way, this thing is actually not easy to get. In the Song Dynasty, the government strictly prohibited slaughtering of cows. After the death of cows, a lot of things were strategic materials except beef - such as beef tendon, cow skin, and horns.
Well, in a sense, the bullwhip can barely be considered.
Therefore, the cowhide belt Ding Yang really took a lot of talk and spent a lot of money to spend it. Only after the owner of the Lu family's old store got this through connections.
It may be inconspicuous on the surface, but the rules of street fighting a thousand years later clearly point out that the belt's combat effectiveness is good.
Ding Yang did use belts to fight on the street many times after a thousand years, and the effect was indeed great.
However, there was a steel buckle on the belt a thousand years later, but there was nothing on the belt at this time!
After Danding Yang deliberately soaked it in water and oil, the power of this belt can be imagined.
Not to mention ordinary wooden sticks, they may not be very useful even if they are replaced with machetes.
The belt is not conspicuous and it is very convenient to carry it with you. It is used as a weapon at critical moments, and Ding Yang believes it is very effective.
After becoming suspicious, Ding Yang watched Liu Er's actions coldly, more and more unreasonable things were discovered by him.
Including the compliments he gave to him every day, he was looking for praise to him almost all the time, just to make him lose his vigilance. Even Liu Er's psychological state has not really calmed down.
Ding Yang also specifically asked the waiter in the old Lu family store - the tips were given very well, and the waiter was also very helpful - these days, there were often some strange faces outside the store, and he wanted to sneak in.
Fortunately, the Lu family’s old store has no idea of the background, so those people dare not offend it openly. They are all means that they cannot be put on the table.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Ding Yang has not told the store that Liu Er is not credible. After all, Liu Er contacts him every day. What if the waiter in the store is exposed?
However, after step by step experiment these days, Ding Yang has gained more knowledge of the credibility of the Lu family's old store.
As long as it is something he puts in the guest room, no matter what it is, no one will touch it.
Once, Ding Yang even deliberately put a piece of gold in the guest room, but after he came back, the gold was still in its original place.
Since that's the case, Ding Yang was not interested in going out with more than a dozen pieces of gold every day. After wrapping it up, he put it in a wooden box under the bed. Sure enough, when he came back from the house, the gold was safe and sound.
According to Ding Yang's estimate, whether Liu Er is a person sent by those rascals or not, he will choose the opportunity to take action in the next few days.
Because Ding Yang pretended to be inadvertently, he mentioned to Liu Er that his uncle from another place was about to arrive in Tokyo. His uncle is an ordinary person, and this time he came to Tokyo to select officials.
Seeing Liu Er's surprised expression after learning the news, Ding Yang knew that the results of this news were only two: either these criminals who were secretly planning something that was not good for him would choose to stop, or they would take action as soon as possible!
If Ding Yang delayed so endlessly, he felt that his spirit could not be delayed.
Not only do I worry every day, but I also have to be careful of possible plots around me. My nerves are always so tense that even the gods can't stand it after a long time.
Sure enough, Liu Er arrived early the next day and suggested to Ding Yang that he might go to the tile on Baokangmen Street today. I heard that Huo Sijue had a new joke recently and was very popular with people around him.
Ding Yang also heard about Huo Sijue's name these days. He looked at Liu Er with a meaningful meaning and nodded in agreement.
Although Ding Yang followed Liu Er around the tile during the day, he was always secretly searching for the distribution of roads in the city and precautions. In particular, giving waiters more rewards, that would be like those who didn't say anything and say everything.
So Ding Yang already knew that although the street outside Baokang Gate was very lively, the residents in that area were mixed with dragons and snakes, and the ingredients were very complicated. Especially there were several small roads, which were always a little uneasy.
It is said that there are a few bullies with some reputation around that, and they also have their own dark rules throughout the day.
But the land price outside Baokang Gate is also cheaper, which attracts many people to live nearby.
However, there are several tea shops and hotels nearby. Although the consumption level is not high, it really attracts many lower-class people to go to consume. Overall, it is a land where people love and hate.
After Ding Yang had a rough understanding, he certainly understood what the purpose of Liu Er's eagerness to make this suggestion today is.
Humph, it seems that the fictional uncle failed to scare the other party. These people also wanted to launch an attack on him before the relatives who were officials came! However, they have been seen through by themselves. It is hard to say whether the other party's plan can succeed!
So before leaving with Liu Er, Ding Yang deliberately went back to the guest room to check his own equipment.
I won’t talk about the belt for now, but there is a short wooden stick hidden inside the sleeve.
Similarly, this is also something Ding Yang has soaked in oil in these days - the oil is shiny and very strong.
I guess one stick will definitely bring enough surprise to the other party!
Ding Yang kept smiling all the way and chatted with Liu Er like usual.
But today the two people's emotions were completely opposite. Ding Yang completely relaxed - things were finally over, but Liu Er was obviously absent-minded. His appearance of wanting to speak but stopping several times was also heartbreaking.
Ding Yang also specially left a chance for Liu Er. Even if the result is coming today, he hopes that the young man will have the opportunity to repent: "Erlang, I think you seem to have something to say, what are you hesitating about?"
Unfortunately, no matter how simple and tempting he was, Liu Er just pushed: "The official read it wrong, and the villain just missed his sister a little!"
Well, I have given you the opportunity to correct it, you don’t want to seize it.
If that's the case, let the facts speak for themselves!
No matter what the time is, you will choose the way yourself!
As expected, in the tile outside Baokang Gate today, Liu Er continued to introduce new projects to him in every way, attracting his attention and trying to distract him from time.
It seems that at least at this level, the plan formulated by Ding Yang a few days ago is still very targeted.
They are just thieves who do not have the courage to take action in broad daylight. According to this logic, it can be imagined how these people deal with him, but they just tricked him into a secluded place to beat him in a secluded place while it was too late.
At most, he relied on the fact that more people bullied less people to surround him, but Ding Yang believed that he was not good enough, could he not win or escape?
After careful observation by Ding Yang these days, people in the Song Dynasty were generally malnourished.
A man like him who is tall and strong and has outstanding physical fitness either eats food in the imperial guards or works in wealthy families. Ordinary men, even if they are rascals, may not be able to eat a full meal every time, and the nutrition must be balanced.
No wonder the powerful heroes in "Water Margin" are particularly powerful, and their physical fitness is also a great help.
Under Ding Yang's intentional indulgence, Liu Er continued to lure him. Finally, after listening to Huo Sijue's three-pointer, Ding Yang pointed at the sky in surprise: "Oh, it's so late? I'm afraid it's not safe on the way back?"
Liu Er lowered his head in shame: "The villain is also a little too anxious to see more things, but he forgot the time. He delayed the supper of the official, and the official forgives his guilt!"
"It's not for dinner or not." Ding Yang's smile was meaningful: "You also know that I beat some thugs a few days ago, and I went out late and returned early, so I was just to beware of their revenge! If it's too late today, I'm afraid the road back will be uneasy!"
"The villain knows a shortcut. Not only can he save a lot of time when going back, but few people know it. Even if there are really people who have bad intentions towards officials, they will definitely not expect you to take the shortcut and go back to the inn."
Here comes!
I guess this so-called shortcut is to take the ditch down.
It is almost certain that those obstacles must be waiting for him to fall into the trap on this shortcut that no one else can imagine.
Looking at Liu Er's tender face, Ding Yang suddenly gave Liu Er another chance to choose.
"Oh, maybe I'm suspicious these days. Otherwise, we'll go back the same way and don't take any small roads and get back in the shortest way. Although it's late, there are more people on the road. There are many people and eyes, and there are more concerns."
Sure enough, after hearing Ding Yang's words, Liu Er's expression changed immediately, and various expressions appeared alternately, which was extremely complicated.
But Liu Er struggled for a long time, but still advised Ding Yang to take a shortcut and return better.
After giving various reasons to prove the benefits of taking shortcuts, Ding Yang sighed in his heart, but he seemed to be convinced on his face.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he followed Liu Er's "advice" and decided to take a small path back to the old Lu family store.
Ding Yang, who had always carefully observed the other party, found that at the moment he agreed, Liu Er was obviously relieved and felt relieved.
Then Liu Er led the way in front, while Ding Yang pretended to follow without any abnormality.
But in private, Ding Yang had already grasped the short stick in his sleeve and quietly let Ah Huang accompany him on the side.
I followed Liu Er for a few turns, and the more I walked, the more I felt a lot more remote, and I had already arrived on a strange path.
There are also some houses around, but it is dark, and some houses can be vaguely seen with oil lamps lit in them. But the ignition light can basically be ignored.
Fortunately, the moon is still bright today, and a silver light is spreading along with you.
When he approached a area covered by large shade, Ding Yang secretly raised his vigilance: If he wanted to do it, it was probably this place!
Before he could leave his vigilance, he heard Ah Huang standing beside him suddenly stand still and shouting loudly.
At the same time, a black shadow rushed from the big tree towards Ding Yang's ears.
Chapter completed!
