Chapter two hundred and eighty first encounter bandits on the road
"this…"
Ling Yun was a little hesitant and raised his head to glance at Wang Wenjing. The latter lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, looking shy and uneasy. She raised her head to glance at him slightly, then quickly lowered her head.
He didn't understand what Wang Wenjing meant, but in order to prevent her from thinking too much, he reluctantly accepted it.
"Then Ling Yun is more respectful than obeying orders!"
Chicken soup, when had he ever admitted that he liked chicken soup? He looked at the chicken soup in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
After visiting the friends on the list given to him by Li Chengyou, he immediately set off to go home, but he never thought that Wang Jinghui knew that he was in Yongzhou, and his sister happened to be visiting relatives here, so he asked him to take her back with him.
Originally, Wang Jinghui came with her, but because he had to take the provincial examination, he had to leave his sister to him and ask him to help take care of her.
Faced with the friend request, even if he was reluctant, he did not refuse in the end.
So he decided to go home and came to inform him personally. Unexpectedly, Miss Wang made chicken soup for him on a whim.
By the way, this is not the first time Wang Wenjing has brought him drinks. When he stayed at the inn, she would always come to his door from time to time and bring him food.
He had said righteously that he didn't need it, but every time she said it for the last time, and then continued to give it away.
This made him feel fishy, but he couldn't figure out why she kept giving him food and drinks.
Three days passed by in a hurry, and Ling Yun brought Wang Wenjing, her maid, Xiao Si, Xiao Yu, and Xiao He to the scene.
The journey from Yongzhou Prefecture to Anzhou Prefecture is long, and it takes about a week to drive. Ling Yun went with the caravan, so that they could take care of each other and be safer.
To follow the caravan, he had to pay two taels of silver per person, not counting the carriage. In the end, he paid nearly thirty taels in total, which was a bit painful.
If he were alone, it would only be about six or seven taels, but now he has to take care of Wang Wenjing and the people under him, so he has no choice but to hand over their money together.
When he set off, he discovered that they were not the only ones following the caravan, but there were many others.
If you think about it carefully, the caravan can make a lot of money just by leading people.
When the caravan passed by the junction of Yongzhou and Anzhou, the leader of the caravan, Li Yunhai, asked the caravan to stop and rest. The motorists also shouted, asking everyone to get out of the car, have a rest, eat something and urinate.
Naturally, Ling Yun also got out of the car, but Wang Wenjing did not get out of the car.
Speaking of which, this place is comfortable and comfortable to rest in. There is water and grass. Not only can people sit and rest, but the cattle can also rest for a while, eat some fodder and drink some water.
But one bad thing was that as soon as the caravan stopped, he felt a little restless, as if something was about to happen.
I looked around and found that there were large woods to the left and right. I thought to myself, in the deep mountains and lush forests in TV dramas, there are often some bandits shouting "I drive this road". I don't know if this exists.
I was thinking wildly and suddenly felt a little anxious. I looked around and chose a place farther away where no one went. I found a big tree and turned to the back to solve my personal problems.
Ling Yun here was speeding up, fastening his belt, wanting to return to the team quickly, but as soon as he tied the slipknot on his front feet, he suddenly heard loud shouting and even crying from men and women on the back of the caravan.
.
Listening to the hoarse voice speaking, it was really scary, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
I calmed down and listened carefully, and found that the sound was intermittent, but not cut off. I thought to myself that something had happened?
But then I thought about it, the caravan led people, there were probably forty or fifty people, how could such a short-sighted person dare to provoke such a huge caravan?
He hurried back, but he did not run straight back to the caravan. He subconsciously looked to the side and shrank behind the big tree in the grass, then carefully stretched out his neck and looked in the direction of the carriage.
He didn't know it, but he was so startled that he almost jumped out of his wits. He...they actually encountered a mountain bandit?
"You are not allowed to cry or make trouble. If someone offends labor and management, the sword in the hands of labor and management will not be merciful."
"Hurry up, hurry up, you, and you, all lie down and don't move. Take out all the valuable things on your body and put them next to you."
The caravan was surrounded by a group of masked bandits. The leading bandit carried a big knife on his shoulder, scolded and beat the people in the caravan, and soon took control of the situation.
At this moment, Zhang Yunhai, the leader of the caravan, stood up and shouted to the bandits, "I am Zhang Yunhai, the person in charge of this shipment of goods from Shengchang Trading Company in Kyoto. May I ask if this good man is from that village?
Can it be convenient?"
Zhang Yunhai introduced himself to his family, and at the same time, two hundred taels of silver notes appeared in his hand, and he skillfully handed them to the masked man.
Zhang Yunhai has followed the motorcade all these years and has never seen any battles. He has also seen a lot of bandits blocking roads and robbing people. He knows that these people are just after money, so he can deal with them easily.
But this time it was beyond his expectation. The bandit leader glanced at the two hundred taels of silver notes in his hand and said with disdain, "Bah, who do you think you are? You just want to bribe the labor and management brothers with just three hundred taels.
Are you going to send beggars away?"
Pointing at Li Yunhai, he said fiercely, "Today labor and management are letting loose. No matter what your profession is, it won't work for me. In short, you can only choose one thing, money or life."
The big man said harsh words, but he did not stop moving his hands. He reached out to take the banknote from Zhang Yunhai's hand and stuffed it into his chest.
As the saying goes: Those who eat people are soft-mouthed and those who take people are short-handed, but this masked man did not give any face, not only the money, but also the goods in front of him. He did not let go.
Zhang Yunhai lost both his wife and his troops, so he was a little angry and angry. However, facing the numerous bandits, he did not act rashly for a moment.
Zhang Yunhai did not give the order to take action, but stood there, staring at the masked man, and threatened in a low voice, "Your Excellency is so open-minded as a lion, you are not afraid that you will not be able to eat it? Don't you know that the goods below are from Shengchang Trading Company?
of?"
Unexpectedly, the masked man didn't take this trick at all. He only saw a fierce look on his face, a sinister smile, his left hand gently swiped the big knife, and threatened, "Who cares about him, the labor and management will be robbed today.
If you are trembling, do you believe that labor and management will kill you now?"
Zhang Yunhai saw that the name of the trading company could not scare him, and he couldn't help but became angry and wanted to take action.
He just looked at the numerous bandits around him, finally endured it, gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you won't regret it in the future."
