Chapter 715: Not everyone is qualified to bow down to me.
"This motorcade is such a fat sheep!"
"Look at those female relatives, they obviously belong to wealthy families, and they rush up to the mountains to be the wives of the village. They are so beautiful!"
"Third Master, those escorts are flying the flag of the Imperial Boxing Gym in Beijing..."
"It's Mr. Zhou's face... bah!"
In the forest next to the official road, several figures were lying down, their greedy eyes focused on the long motorcade, looking over and over again.
Ten miles northwest of here, there is a place named Baishawu.
The place where boats are parked on the waterside can be called a dock. Similarly, a small fort for defense is also a dock.
This Baishawu is the latter. It is a fortress, a stronghold surrounded by earthen walls and wooden fences. It has been repelled by officers and soldiers many times and has shocked the green forests of Hebei. It has always been a key obstacle on the road to Damingfu.
This group of peepers were none other than the strongmen from Baishawu. The leader, a man with slender eyes and a green robe, was none other than the three-leader "Green Bamboo Snake" Liu Lin.
Looking at the big flag of the Imperial Boxing Hall, he was a little wary, but looking at the long motorcade, he licked his lips again and called two of his fast-footed men: "Go back to the stronghold quickly and inform the boss and
The second master, swallowing this fat sheep will be enough to keep the brothers happy for another month!"
"okay!"
The two strong men smiled happily and ran away without a trace.
However, there was still a somewhat delicate-looking subordinate who was dressed as a scholar and raised objections: "Third Master, Mr. Zhou, the head coach of the Royal Boxing Gym, has always been famous, and heroes from all walks of life want to sell him some face. Do we want to
Is it better to live in peace and quiet with some money?"
Liu Lin hesitated for a moment. According to the rules on the road, this was indeed what he should do, but after careful observation, compared to the property of the convoy, the number of escorts was obviously not enough. Thinking of the recent news he heard on the road, he gritted his teeth and said: "
It doesn’t matter, I’m afraid the Yuquan Gym has too much time to take care of itself!”
The people present were all the confidants in the village, so he spoke without any scruples: "The Yuquan Hall was targeted by the government before, and even if he died, he would lose his skin. I don't know how many years that old man Zhou Tong can live, what are you afraid of him doing?"
?”
The scholar whispered: "But Xiaosheng was investigating the news before. Lin Erlang is also coming to Hebei, and he has a close relationship with Mr. Zhou. Could this team belong to him?"
Liu Lin's expression suddenly became serious: "'Quan Yiyong' Lin Chong?"
If Zhou Tong is getting older, and with the new emperor's accession to the throne, the imperial boxing gym cannot be used in the capital, and it is far less prosperous than when the previous emperor was in power. Then he has recently become famous in the world, especially near the capital.
Yes, it is undoubtedly Lin Chong.
His various deeds showed the loyalty that is most admired by heroes in the world, and his courage that is unworthy of all men, so he gradually got this nickname.
Look at his own "green bamboo snake", which is specially used to describe someone as vicious as a snake. The gap is too big, and Liu Lin is very envious and jealous.
After hating him, the third master's brows furrowed.
Zhou Tong's long-standing prestige makes it no longer easy to offend. If Lin Chong, who is young and promising, is added to the mix, this deal will be difficult to do. He regretted it and felt that he had just been impulsive. He started to get angry and said: "
Why didn't you just say that you waited until the fourth son and the others were gone before you started making noise?"
The scholar knew that this man was moody, could kill without blinking an eye, and showed fear in his eyes, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Please calm down, Mr. San, Xiaosheng has a plan, and he may be able to do it all at once!"
Liu Lin glared and said, "Say!"
The scholar hurriedly said: "Does the third master still remember the bandits who tried to attack our fortress before?"
Liu Lin raised his eyebrows: "Escaped from the Anli Army? Of course I remember that they haven't given up yet. These hateful Qiu Ba are much more greedy than us!"
The scholar suggested: "In that case, why not bring the soldiers and bandits over and fight with the escorts of the convoy. When both of them are injured, we can take advantage of the situation and fight out!"
"At that time, even if we can't completely swallow up this fleet, we can still get a lot of property, and we can also get a reputation as a rescuer, which will make Lin Chong and Yuquan Gym grateful!"
"good!"
Liu Lin's brows suddenly widened and he praised: "Qin Xiucai, at the critical moment, you scholars are the ones who have the solution!"
Qin Xiucai said modestly: "The teacher from Xiaosheng taught me well!"
Liu Lin smiled and waved his hand: "I know, I know, you have recommended that gentleman to our brothers many times and invited people here. It's a pity that he stayed in the village and did not join me in Baishawu."
!”
Qin Xiucai sighed: "Sir, he still wants to take the imperial examination for high school. With his talent, knowledge, and intelligence, if it weren't for the stupidity of the court and unfair appointment of officials, he would have been the top scholar in high school long ago..."
The sight of Jinshi parading through the streets came to mind, and he deeply regretted why he was not one of them. Qin Xiucai suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing around his neck, giving him an indescribable cold feeling in broad daylight.
He was so excited that he thought he was wearing less clothes and wrapped himself in clothes. Then he found that everyone around him had made similar movements. Even Liu Lin, the leader who had always been brave and brave, tightened his clothes.
"Brother, this mark is so wonderful!"
At the same time, beside the motorcade, Hua Rong looked towards Lin Zhong with lightning eyes.
Li Yan had just brushed past his eyes, and a row of special marks suddenly appeared in his sight.
Each one has a green head, with poisonous snakes circling in and out of the skull's mouth. It looks eye-catching and shocking, clearly marking the bandits below.
Listening to Hua Rong's admiration, Li Yan, who was just trying his best, smiled and said: "This is a small magic called Spirit Seal Technique. It can activate a small amount of heaven and earth energy to mark the enemies within sight, which is convenient.
track."
This spell is not difficult, but if you want to expand the distance and lock on multiple targets, Li Yan couldn't do it before. He could only mark a single one within a hundred meters, which had no practical significance.
Now it is easy to pick up, and even the narrow-mindedness has arisen, coupled with the color, it looks like the Dark Mark...
You still say that you are not that person?
Such an obvious mark is like shooting at a fixed target for a marksman like Hua Rong. It is as simple as unchallenging: "Brother, let me go and capture them!"
Li Yan said: "These thieves are just outposts, not all of them. There will be a large force behind them. What do you think of the suggestion of the escort leader Wang?"
Hua Rong had obviously thought about it for a long time: "If such a long convoy is really attacked by thieves, it is really difficult for us to take care of it with our manpower alone. But if we give money, not to mention there will be many dens of thieves next, we will have to take care of it."
Take care, doing this will also encourage the thief's arrogance, and I don't want to!"
Li Yan said: "So you also agree to strike first and gain the upper hand?"
Hua Rong nodded heavily, then showed a look of expectation.
Li Yan smiled: "I think the same thing as you, but when you take action next, you must be more careful and don't let those bandits use their reputation to delay..."
Hua Rong suddenly remembered and frowned slightly: "My brother is now deeply respected in the world. It would be really difficult for these people to show this and greet him with a smile and bow down."
As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone with a smiling face, others will respect you very much, but if you just raise the butcher's knife, your reputation will be ruined and you will become a lackey of the court.
Li Yan didn't care. Not everyone was qualified to bow to him: "I don't like those gangsters, and I don't like the reputation of Green Forest."
"Every time dogs are slaughtered for justice, are there any real heroes in the green forest? There must be! But the vast majority of them are still traditional robbers and bandits, committing murder, arson, rape, humiliation and plunder, and commit all kinds of evil."
"You can't just focus on the most prominent so-called heroes and turn a blind eye to the more thieves. You can't just be praised by them and be controlled by the so-called reputation in the world and stop doing what you want to do."
After receiving an academy education, Hua Rong was convinced: "What my brother said is absolutely true. I will go with Brother Qian to investigate the situation of the thieves first, so that we can catch them all!"
Li Yan nodded, and Hua Rong rode his horse towards Shi Qian. After a while, the two fast horses left the team and headed towards the front.
Most of the people in the convoy knew nothing about this, but in the eyes of those who were interested, they knew that the war was about to begin.
The bodyguard leader, Wang Si, immediately summoned the bodyguards and gave detailed instructions before coming to Li Yan: "Mr. Lin, we are fully prepared. We also hope that Mr. Lin can appease the female family members and tell them not to panic."
Li Yan admired this person's professionalism and suggested a way to get through with the situation. However, seeing that his employer was not happy, he stopped talking and immediately turned to war preparations. He said: "Boss Wang, the intruder is probably
It’s Baishawu.”
Wang Si was not surprised: "Baishawu is the closest to here. Those strong men are certainly fierce, but we can resist them."
Li Yan asked again: "What if we add soldiers and bandits from the Anli Army?"
Wang Si's face changed: "Is this true? This matter is not trivial. The soldiers and bandits are no better than Baishawu. They are unable to suppress thieves. They cause harm to the place, but they are extremely cruel. If you are targeted by this group of bandits, you will be killed.
It’s a life-and-death battle!”
Li Yan said: "We have also received news that soldiers and bandits are roaming nearby. To be cautious, we have to be on guard."
Wang Si frowned and sighed: "We really have to guard against this group of soldiers and bandits who are more familiar with official roads. If they can't satisfy them by looting villages, they will stay near the official roads. I'll send someone to check it out first."
!”
Soon the two bodyguards changed their costumes and galloped out on horseback.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Yan came to the carriage of his mother Li.
In fact, he knew that the group of bandits should be able to be dealt with in advance, but the necessary notifications still had to be given so that everyone could be prepared. After all, there were more than one den of thieves along the way, Baishawu.
Entering the carriage, I found a maid serving her. Li had lived in Beijing for a long time and didn't go out much. She was a little dizzy from the bumpy carriage.
Li Yan took out the needle and applied a few gentle injections. Li immediately felt that the tightness in his chest was relieved a lot, and patted his hand: "Erlang, I'm fine. You have to take care of the entire convoy, so you don't have to come here often."
Li Yan said a few words of due filial piety, and then informed: "Mother, there may be some gangsters along the way. I hope you can help me calm down the female family members so that they will not be too panicked."
Mrs. Li frowned when she heard this: "When did the world become so chaotic? Can officialdom also encounter bandits?"
As she said that, she took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and emphasized: "If you really encounter bandits, you must protect your cousin's family. They trust us and went on the road together. We must give priority to them."
It’s safe and can’t be hurt by thieves!”
Li Yan said: "Please rest assured, mother, I will protect everyone."
After getting out of the carriage, he thought of Li Qingzhao, who although he could be called his cousin, was only of the same clan, and looked at the carriage over there.
With Li Yan's current five senses, he can spy on many things, but he usually blocks most of the information and is not interested in other people's privacy. Anyway, anyone who is slightly hostile to him can immediately sense it.
At this time, it was targeted and locked, and I heard two breathing sounds in the carriage, as well as the sound of quietly turning the pages of a book.
When talented women are together, they really work hard. Li Yan nodded secretly, and then rode his horse to the carriage of Li Gefei's wife Wang.
It was inconvenient for this person to go in, so he informed the situation outside the carriage. After hearing this, Wang's tone fluctuated, but she was not too nervous: "Thank you Erlang for telling me, we have servants who can resist one or two, the world is unfair now."
, I have to rely more on your bravery and the protection of your bodyguards."
Li Yan thought to himself that she was indeed the granddaughter of the prime minister, and she was indeed magnanimous. After finishing the work of appeasing him, he was about to officially take action when he saw Wang Sice approaching immediately. He couldn't help but said with joy: "Master Lin, those group of soldiers and bandits were unlucky, and they happened to meet someone like him."
The two groups of bandits who came out of Baishawu started fighting first!"
