Anyone who can pay 10,000 copper coins to buy the life of a patrol inspector will naturally have the courage and ability to kill an archer without anyone noticing.
Han Qing knew that the longer he talked to Zhang Hui at this moment, the greater the danger he would bring to the other party. So without further ado, he jumped on his mount and galloped away with Dou Rong.
However, when passing the level, his body still "accidentally" tilted and he dropped a purse full of small silver beans on the ground.
In the Song Dynasty, silver was not a currency in circulation. It was only used to pay taxes to the government or to settle large amounts between businesses.
But the small silver beans, which weigh about two cents each, are standard hard currency.
Whether you use it to reward juniors or bribe your boss, it is very popular.
The archer Zhang Hui and others began to pick up the purse, but they didn't take it seriously. When they saw clearly what was inside, they suddenly felt that they had deserved it.
However, if he wanted to catch up and return it to Han Qing, it would be too late? He could only point his back and secretly raise his thumb.
But in Han Qing's heart, the kindness Zhang Hui and others had towards her could not be measured by dozens of silver beans.
Although the other party did not remind him that his next destination was not Chang'an. However, he did not expect that in the eyes of some people, his head was already so valuable!
In the Song Dynasty, prices were not high. People on Yongxing Military Road were relatively poor and prices were even lower.
One ounce of gold is enough to buy an acre of farmland, and five ounces of gold can buy a good horse or the five-year right to use a yellow-flowered girl.
10,000 yuan. As long as the news spreads, I don't know how many "heroes" will be looking for him all over the world with blue eyes.
If the archer Zhang Hui had malicious intentions just now, even if he could not bring his brothers to capture him, it would still be enough to injure one of him or Dou Rong.
If Zhang Hui sells the whereabouts of him and Dou Rong to the group of people who put a bounty on him, even if they don't get 10,000 hangings, it will be easy to get a few hundred hangings!
In addition, Zhang Hui's actions just now reminded him in time.
It's not that he and Dou Rong are getting safer as they get further and further away from Ding'an County.
Ordinary people would not recognize him as Han Qing, but experienced officials and "heroes" who are eager to make a fortune have many ways to grasp the key characteristics of him and Dou Rong through the traces left in the past.
For example, the bay horse and the big black horse, the young men and women traveling together, and the approximate height and items carried with them...
And those "heroes" who are eager to make a fortune will definitely not worry about accidental arrest and accidental killing. Whenever they see young men and women traveling together, they will be surrounded. Sooner or later, there will be a chance, and it happens to be him and Dou Rong who are surrounded!
"No, the two of us need to make more preparations!" When the gratitude in his heart gradually faded, Han Qing immediately realized that he could not rush on the road while waiting for others to chase him.
Based on his and Dou Rong's current skills, if they encounter enemy troops, it is obviously the best strategy for him to stay behind and Dou Rong to escape first.
However, after experiencing life and death last time, Han Qing clearly knew that there was no need to mention such words.
Therefore, he simply planned his future strategy against the enemy according to the pattern that the two of them would always fight side by side.
And as the old saying goes, the most important thing in the world is to be serious.
When Han Qing carefully thought about the specialties of himself and Dou Rong, and considered how to cooperate with each other to bring out these specialties, many strange but simple weapons quickly appeared in his mind.
This is the benefit of living in the 21st century.
Having experienced the era of information explosion, Han Qing knew the general appearance and working principle of many simple and practical tools, even if he did not know how to make them.
In addition, after all, he had served in the military and received some professional training. And when he was a shady divorce counselor, he had a lot of bad feelings in his stomach.
The combination of various favorable conditions has led to the emergence of many "black technologies" that the world has never thought of.
People in the Song Dynasty mainly relied on farming. After the autumn harvest, male laborers would also work as part-time workers or hunt and chop wood to supplement their family income.
Therefore, Han Qing did not have to worry about finding carpenters and blacksmiths in the villages along the way to Huashan.
He spent enough copper coins and was willing to patiently explain his thoughts over and over. Of course, the blacksmiths and carpenters were willing to provide convenience to this young man who looked sunny, spoke kindly, and was generous.
As a result, three days later, when they boarded the boat crossing the Wei River, the two of them had a few more ingenious little things in their luggage.
"This is called a four-legged nail. No matter how you throw it, three feet will be down and one foot will be up. If someone is chasing you, just throw it behind the war horse!"
"This is called a sling. It needs to be used in combination with these jars. You can follow it thirty steps away and hit someone on the head. When the jar hits the ground, lime powder will come out."
"These two are blowing needles. They are not very powerful and can only be used to plot against others. The advantage is that no one else knows them and will only use them as sticks. You hide them under your cloak and take them out at the critical moment.
Just put it on your horse or blow it on your face, and it will have miraculous effects."
"This is called a boomerang, also called a boomerang. It's also used to harm the opponent's horse. You can practice it in a place where no one is around, and when necessary, throw it at the opponent's horse's neck."
"If it misses the target, it will fly back on its own. But be careful not to use your fingers to grab the blade embedded in it."
"I made this with rag strips, and it was filled with sawdust and lime powder. You can use a throwing knife to hit people or horses on the head in the same way."
…
Anyway, there was nothing to do in the cabin, and there was no need to worry about the ears on the partition wall. Han Qing simply took the time to start training Dou Rong on the use of "new weapons".
Dou Rong had never heard of these weapons before, let alone seen them.
Therefore, the girl watched his demonstration and nodded in admiration, her eyes unknowingly filled with admiration.
As for the danger that the two of them are about to face, the girl has long forgotten about it.
If we don’t take danger seriously, danger will come quietly when we least expect it.
On the evening of the third day after crossing the Wei River, Han Qing and Dou Rong were preparing to find a remote village to stay. Suddenly, they heard several shrill whistles coming from in front of their house, "Zhik".
——squeak——squeak squeak——”
"Be careful! Follow the countermeasures I discussed with you and choose plan No. 1!" Han Qing quickly made a decision without even turning his head.
Immediately, he quickly leaned over, picked up a modified silk waistcoat from the back of the spare mule, and put it on himself. Following that, he quickly grabbed the sling and the linen bag for the jars.
Dou Rong, on the other hand, followed suit and quickly covered his upper body with a silk waistcoat with pockets sewn all over. At the same time, he slowed down his mount, trailing him by half a horse's length.
The two of them went from walking side by side to one behind the other.
On the mountain road not far away, more than twenty figures quickly emerged.
In the lead were four strong men on horseback, two holding guns and two holding knives.
Following closely behind them were nineteen minions, either holding bows, shields or straw ropes, blocking the way forward.
