Chapter 326 Once entering the gate is as deep as the sea
(Second update, there will be another update in the evening.)
The three horses arrived at the mountainside, hundreds of steps away from the pass. The bows and arrows on the pass rained down like raindrops. Although the distance was still far and the arrows only landed fifty steps ahead, the meaning of the rain of arrows was natural.
It was not intended to kill, but to warn them not to come near.
Su Jin strengthened his judgment. The bandits were a little nervous. There was no need for the three of them to panic. Since they had such a reaction, it showed that they had a guilty conscience. It was also possible that the bandit leader had given the order.
They are on guard and always on guard.
Ma Han scolded: "The gangsters who are straight women are as courageous as mice. They will shoot arrows from such a distance and throw away their nainai people."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Have you never heard of the term rat gall bandits? They are bandits after all, and they are forbidden by morality and justice, so they are naturally afraid of them."
Chao Chao said: "Master, what should I do?"
Su Jin said: "Shout and explain your intention."
Wang Chao promised to ride his horse forward, and with his hands in a trumpet, he shouted loudly towards the mountain: "Listen, bandits on the mountain, Mr. Su Jinsu, the special envoy of grain affairs of the Song Dynasty, has come to pay a visit. Don't shoot arrows, and go and report back quickly."
Your village master, we have no hostility!"
After shouting several times, the arrows gradually stopped sparsely, and one of the gangsters also shouted: "What a special envoy, my village leader is busy drinking and eating meat, and has no time to deal with you dog officials."
Chao Chao shouted loudly: "I advise you to go back to your village owner. This matter is related to the safety of your village and the village owner. If you don't report it, you can't afford it."
There was silence on the mountain for a while, and then the man shouted again: "Don't be so alarmist, our copycat village is very good, do you want to be so cruel?"
Wang Chao cursed angrily, and when he was about to speak again, Su Jin smiled and said, "Okay, didn't you see someone running down the ridge and running up the mountain? They were going to deliver a message. What kind of master have these little minions done?"
The three of them got off their horses and sat on the mound to wait. About half an hour later, they saw several figures coming down the mountain from a distance. They were dressed and decorated differently from ordinary bandits. It seemed that the village owners came down to check in person.
Sure enough, when those few people came to the pass, one of them shouted loudly down: "Who is coming? What's the point of stationing troops at the foot of my Bagong Mountain and not fighting, but coming to harass me endlessly?"
Su Jin stepped forward and said: "I have ordered the food envoy Su Jin to come to pay homage to Guizhai. There are some important things that I have to discuss with the leader of Guizhai." Ainai, are you swatting flies in your ears? My family
Is your name a taboo that you, a thief and a bastard like you, just call randomly?"
As soon as the gangsters on the mountain heard Ma Han shouting and cursing, they immediately yelled and cursed loudly. For a while, obscene words were flying all over the place and they were noisy.
Su Jin said with a stern face: "Ma Han, if you keep talking, go back and talk so much. What are you doing? From now on, neither of you say a word. If it ruins my big thing, can you bear the responsibility?"
Ma Han was so shocked that he shut up quickly. When the young master is friendly, he can be called brother and sister, but when it comes to doing serious things, he will not give face to anyone. The majesty on his body can make people goosebumps all over. He is indeed too talkative.
It's fragmentary, no wonder the young master reprimanded himself.
Su Jin stepped forward, clasped his hands and said loudly: "This envoy is Su Jin. I don't know if I have any advice."
On the mountain pass, Qiu Dabao was startled and asked hurriedly: "Are you from Su Jinsu, a junior official in Luzhou?"
Su Jin was also shocked. Could it be that he still had acquaintances in the bandits' den? His social relationship was not that complicated. When did he have acquaintances who became bandits?
The two men were startled, and a lot of people on the mountain and down the mountain stared at each other. The bandits thought: Could it be that the second master has friends who are officials? This is strange. It is said that the second master more than ten years ago He is the little leader of the bandits in Dashu Mountain in Luzhou. He has been working as a bandit for more than ten years and can be called a career. But now he has something to do with the government. Who can he talk to about this matter?
Shen Yaozu looked at Qiu Dabao coldly and said, "Second head of the family, what's going on?"
Qiu Dabao said hurriedly: "It's a long story. This Su Jin is the son of a Luzhou merchant. When I was following the Black Seventh boss in the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, this Su Xiaoguan was a thorn in the side of the Chamber of Commerce. , I’m really blushing to say that, we played so many tricks overtly and covertly, but in the end, this guy got away, and in the end, the Black Seventh boss was killed by that ruthless Tang Jiyuan, my little brother came to join you. I told you all this at the time; it's just that later I heard that Su Xiaoguan went to Yingtian Academy to study, and how he suddenly transformed into some kind of special envoy, it's so confusing."
Shen Yaozu vaguely remembered that Qiu Dabao did say such a thing when he defected to him a few months ago, but he didn't mention this Su Jin. It seemed that this Su Jin was not a simple person.
"It's Luzhou Su Jin. May I ask which friend on the mountain is familiar with me?" Su Jin's voice from the bottom of the mountain came through.
Shen Yaozu pulled Qiu Dabao aside and asked quietly: "What on earth is this Su Jin here for? Do you know?"
Qiu Dabao vaguely felt that Shen Yaozu was doubting him, and hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't know this. I know Su Jin, but Su Jin doesn't know me. I didn't even meet him when I was in Luzhou." But how do you know the purpose of his coming?"
Shen Yaozu felt that he was a little out of control, and he quickly put on a smile and said: "That's right, you are not acquaintances, just acquaintances. You really don't know his purpose. I am too impatient and I really can't figure out where he is. Lu, I feel a little panicked."
Qiu Dabao hurriedly said: "Brother, his name is the special food envoy appointed by the imperial court, which means it is related to food. Maybe the batch of food we intercepted belongs to him."
"He wants food? Is he dreaming?" Shen Yaozu scolded.
"Brother, I think it's better for me to let him come up and listen to what he has to say. Do you think the three of them entered my mountain stronghold with bare hands and turned the world upside down? Besides, so many officers and soldiers suddenly came at the foot of the mountain. They came up. Shan, if we have no choice, we can take a few hostages on hand. From the way this guy sounds, he is an official, so he may have some weight."
Shen Yaozu's eyes were moving around, hesitating, and he said angrily: "Let them come up?"
Qiu Dabao knew that he couldn't talk anymore. Shen Yaozu was already a little suspicious of him. He once again advocated for Su Jin to go up the mountain. He was afraid that the suspicious Shen Yaozu would fall out in the blink of an eye, thinking that he was really with Su Jin. What does Jin have to do with it?
"The elder brother makes his own decision, and the younger brother only follows his lead."
Shen Yaozu frowned and thought hard, then suddenly laughed and said: "Let him up, let him up. Brother, I haven't had fun for a long time. I just happened to have fun with the food envoy. You are right, he can play. If you don't allow any tricks, it will make me, the hero of Bagong Mountain, timid and afraid of getting into trouble."
Shen Yaozu waved his hand and said: "Come here, open the pass and let them come up."
The soldiers quickly opened the two wooden doors several feet wide at the pass and shouted: "My village master has an order. You can go up the mountain, but you are not allowed to carry weapons."
Su Jin was overjoyed, raised his hands and said, "I don't have any weapons with me, so don't worry."
Then he motioned to Wang Chao Ma Han to do the same as him, raised his hands high so that the bandits could see clearly, and walked slowly towards the pass.
The moment they approached the wooden gate of the pass, forty or fifty bandits poured out from inside, instantly surrounding Su Jin and others. The tips of their knives and spears were circled and pointed at the three of them. Someone shouted: "Search them."
Three or four gangsters rushed forward and searched Su Jin and others from top to bottom. When one of the gangsters touched a hard object in Su Jin's arms, he asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "It's not a sword anyway, it's a brand."
The guy stretched out his hand and took it out. Su Jin sneered: "I'm not trying to scare you. If you dare to take out this sign today, your village master will just cut you into pieces without me doing it. This sign Except for your village leader, anyone who looks at it will die."
The gangster spat: "What a bird thing, I don't believe it."
Su Jin smiled and said nothing. The gangster was cruel, but when his hand touched the uneven patterns on the brand, he just squeezed it twice and did not dare to take it out.
Su Jin chuckled softly and said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Brother, you have a bright future."
After the three people were searched, a group of minions shouted and escorted the three people into the pass. As the wooden gate of the pass slowly closed, the hearts of Li Chong, Yan Biyun and others who were paying close attention to everything in the officer camp were hanging. .
Rou Niang couldn't bear it anymore, she let out a cry and burst into tears.dd
