Xu Zizhen smiled and moved away the knife, but the leader suddenly stood up, pinched Xu Zizhen's throat with one hand, and grabbed the knife with the other hand. This series of movements was almost as fast as lightning, but then he froze again, because
The knife was back on his neck.
The leader was finally convinced. He moved quickly, but Xu Zizhen's reaction was faster, and he seemed to have guessed that he would fight back. It was as if the knife had been waiting for him.
Xu Zizhen turned his back to Wanyan and said coldly: "Don't be so shameless."
The leader lowered his voice and said, "Where are you from?"
Xu Zizhen said stiffly: "It has nothing to do with you, just tell me whether you can leave or not."
The leader pondered for a moment and finally gave in: "Okay, brother, admit defeat."
Xu Zizhen took back the knife with a loud laugh, held the handle of the knife and handed it back. He resumed his Shandong accent, cupped his fists and said, "Then I won't give it away, everyone go on your way."
The leader took the knife and put it back into his waist. He glanced at him coldly and shouted, "Let's go."
His accomplices were very surprised, but they still took back the knife, and with a whistle they all retreated, not even taking the valuables they had gathered together.
Xu Zizhen clapped his hands and turned around, only to see Wan Yanqing and the rest of the gang looking at him as if they had seen a ghost, with their mouths wide open and their eyes straight. Xu Zizhen grinned, with a farmer's honest face: "It's okay, Shan
The thief is gone."
Le Chi came to his senses first, shivered and said: "Sanshun, what did you say to the bandit?"
Xu Zizhen said: "Oh, I told him that we had no money, and if he really pushed me hard, I would risk my life with him. He was frightened by me and left."
The guys looked at each other in confusion and opened their mouths even wider. What kind of explanation is this? The bandits were frightened and ran away after hearing this? How heartless is this?
However, Wan Yanqing's eyes shone brightly, and she looked straight at Xu Zizhen, and suddenly said excitedly: "What a handsome man, what do you call this young man? I wonder who he studied under?"
Xu Zizhen had already prepared the draft, scratched his head and said with a smile: "To the eldest lady, my name is Jin Sanshun. I have never been with any masters. I just have thick arms and courage, and I know a lot of three-legged cat kung fu."
Wan Yanqing was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Three-legged cat? That's really interesting." She looked at the corpse of the coachman lying on the snow and said, "Let's go home first."
"Yes, Miss."
Le Chi got up from the ground, directed the coachman and his crew to straighten the things that the bandits had messed up, gathered up the body of the dead coachman, and the convoy started moving again.
Deep in the forest, several pairs of eyes were looking at this place from a distance. Seeing the convoy driving away, one person couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why didn't you take advantage of the situation and kill that kid?"
That boss was the bandit leader Xu Zizhen let go just now. He looked at the back of the convoy, shook his head and said: "He didn't hurt me, so I have to be moral. Besides, this person's skills can't see through. I
He may not be his opponent." There is another thing he didn't say, that is, this person seems to know their big plan, maybe he is not the same as him, in short, this thing is weird.
No one said anything more, only one person said: "It seems that the tribulation is not so easy, and I want to make a fortune along the way."
…
After such a near miss, everyone in the convoy cheered up. This mountain road is still long, and God knows if bandits will pop up again. Everyone will be excited during the next journey.
He was more cautious than usual, making a fuss whenever there was any disturbance, and even going to the roadside to relieve himself had to be done by two or three people together.
This is really hard for Xu Zizhen. He originally planned to run away halfway, but now he can't leave even if he wants to. Just now, he said he wanted to pee, but four people, including Le Chi, asked to accompany him.
He went there and said he was worried that the group of bandits just now would follow him for revenge. Xu Zizhen racked his brains to think of a way to escape, but still couldn't find a way.
After traveling for two days, the convoy turned eastward and arrived at Hampyeong Province on the third day.
Xianping Mansion was originally the boundary of the Liao Kingdom, but now it naturally belongs to the Jurchens. Xu Zizhen was a little puzzled and asked Le Chi: "Why did you rest here? Didn't you take me to the lumberyard?"
Before Le Chi could say anything, Wan Yanqing took it over with a smile and said, "Don't rush to the lumber yard now. I have something to tell you."
Xu Zizhen pointed at his nose in astonishment: "Tell... tell me?"
Sure enough, Hongji's family had a great business and also had property in Xianping Prefecture. The convoy came to a big house to rest, the goods on the car were still placed, and Xu Zizhen was called over by Wan Yanqing.
"Sanshun, with your skills, it's not worth it to earn three taels of silver per month in a lumberyard. I have a good job now, and I would like to recommend you to give it a try. Are you interested?" Wanyanqing smiled and said,
A kind face.
Xu Zizhen cursed secretly. The old man didn't mention any three taels of silver. If Wan Yanqing didn't say anything, it seemed that he would be blackmailed by him. But no matter how much money he gave, it didn't matter to him. He was going to run away anyway.
First, he dealt with Wanyan Qing and said, "As long as it allows me to have enough food, I wonder what the young lady wants me to do?"
Wan Yanqing slowed down and said leisurely: "I would like to recommend you to... the Prime Minister's Office."
Xu Zizhen was startled: "Prime Minister?"
Wan Yanqing stretched out a finger and shook it: "It's not that the Prime Minister's Office wants someone, but that the current Holy Lord is recruiting talented people from all over the world to build an iron guard in the palace."
Xu Zizhen couldn't believe his ears. The Emperor of Jin wanted to recruit a guard in the palace? Then he was just sneaking around. If he could be admitted, wouldn't he be able to swagger into the palace to find Zhao Chang? It's better than trying to sneak away secretly.
It's good to go in.
However, there were still doubts in Wan Yanqing's words, and Xu Zizhen couldn't help but ask: "But I am from the Song Dynasty, can the emperor rest assured?"
Wanyan Qing smiled: "Isn't your hometown of Qingzhou a member of Dajin? So naturally you are also a citizen of Dajin. I think you are skilled and honest, so you may not be qualified for this job, and let's go to the palace.
Isn’t it tens of millions of times better to be a royal servant than to be in my lumber yard?”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Zizhen's reaction, and she was actually looking forward to it. This news came out from the Prime Minister's Office not long ago. Prime Minister Sa Gai was appointed by the emperor to form the internal guard. No matter who it was, as long as someone recommended it,
Let him have a look first, and then send it to the palace after passing it.
Wan Yanqing doesn't understand the quality of Kung Fu, but she is a businessman and has her own ideas. Although this Jin Sanshun is sloppy, he looks very honest, unlike those so-called anti-Jin rebels, and from the mountain road
Judging from that scene, he can subdue the thief leader in an instant, and can also persuade the thief to retreat obediently. Not only is his skill amazing, but his courage and wisdom are not simple. The Prime Minister of the country has a keen eye for people and will definitely keep him until the end of the year.
Shi Jin Sanshun can gain some face by achieving great achievements.
Xu Zizhen frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Thank you, Miss, I agree."
