It is winter, the cold wind is biting, the mountain road.
A caravan of about ten people could be seen in the distance.
"Cough cough cough——"
There were bouts of coughing in the carriage.
"Mr. Yang, the medicine is ready."
The young man held a bowl of dark, steaming concoction in one hand and opened the heavy windshield curtain with the other. Mr. Yang took the concoction in his mouth and blew it carefully. The concoction still burned his mouth, so Mr. Yang could only hold it.
Warm your stiff hands in the palm of your hand.
The wheel of the carriage was broken, so we had to stay here.
Yang Gong asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong?"
The young man sat down and pulled out a piece of felt to cover his legs.
He said with a hint of joy: "I'm being targeted."
Yang Gong raised his eyebrows: "Humph, a bunch of thieves."
Although he is no longer as brave as he was in the past, Mr. Yang is also a ruthless man who has killed hundreds of gangsters with his own hands, and his words are as bloodthirsty and ruthless as a ferocious wolf. According to their inquiries, the group of bandits nearby are nothing more than wearing a
A devil wearing human skin.
Ordinary bandits only seek wealth but not life. They can save their lives by handing over their property. They only target wealthy merchants. Ordinary people don't even look at them. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as "thieves have their own way."
But this litter staring at them was different.
He was not young, around 20 years old, but he acted extremely cruelly and viciously. With the weapons in his hands and the large number of people, he killed the merchants who came and went, and few people could escape from their hands alive.
Ordinary people will die violently when they encounter them. They not only want money, but also enjoy the pleasure of killing and even killing, and finally throw the inhuman corpses on the mountain road!
Young people know this clearly because a local man escaped with his life. However, although he escaped, the wounds on his hands and feet were ulcerated and rotten, and there was almost no intact human skin on his body. He died of hatred within a few days after returning.
.
How dare people go near this road?
When the young man and Mr. Yang heard about this, they laughed again and again and took a caravan of more than a dozen people to make a special trip. As a result, the wheels of the car broke down halfway and the caravan was forced to stop. It gets dark quickly in winter, so they thought about it for a while.
, and prepared to spend the night where he was.
The young man said: "We are targeting him, but it's hard to say whether he is willing to take the bait or not. These thieves are surprisingly cautious."
Mr. Yang raised his lips and mocked: "Humph, you're still young."
Obviously he doesn't take this kind of little thief lightly. If his strength is still there, he can kill this kind of unscrupulous little thief single-handedly. As for taking the bait or not, Yang Gong has not worried about it. This group of little thieves is sure
You will take the bait, sooner or later.
The concoction has cooled down a bit.
Adhering to the principle that long-term suffering is worse than short-term suffering, Mr. Yang closed his eyes and breathed out. His facial features were wrinkled with pain. He couldn't help but complain: "Ji Shou, this is too painful."
The young man smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, good medicine tastes bitter."
Yang Gong tried to say a few words about how good his body was, but when he thought about the current situation, he had no choice but to give up - in the past, when it was the coldest, he could bare his arms and dance with a knife and gun in the ice and snow without trembling, but now he can wear less clothes.
Chills.
It was also very embarrassing to catch the cold.
Mr. Yang tightly wrapped his cloak to keep out the cold, looking disappointed.
Youth is a healthy time.
The "Yang Gong" mentioned by Kang Shi was naturally Yang Duwei.
The two were ordered to go out for "fishing".
To be precise, Kang Shi was ordered to go out for "fishing". Captain Yang was not willing to be taken care of as an old, weak woman and child, so he took the initiative to ask for help. The older he got, the more stubborn he became, and he did not want to owe any favors——
Although no one said this, Captain Yang felt unhappy.
The two first focused on this group of bandits.
Because this group of bandits is so special.
Captain Yang's rich experience in suppressing bandits told him that the truly vicious bandits would change places and commit crimes on the run. It is almost impossible for them to be so cruel and squat in one place without moving. If so, there must be something fishy in them!
First of all, the bandits are also afraid of alerting the county government and send troops to suppress the bandits. How can the Caotai team go head-to-head with the righteous forces of the county government?
Secondly, even if they are really stubborn and not afraid of the county government sending troops to suppress the bandits, the bandits still have to consider the issue of income. If the common people, with their backs to the sky and their faces facing the loess, rely on God's reward for their livelihood, the bandits rely on the money bags of the merchants who come and go.
If one team comes and kills another, it is still so bloody and cruel. As time goes by, merchants would rather take the long way around and avoid this road. Saving their lives is the most important thing. If the merchants don't come, the people will be scared and stay away.
So, can I still have income?
The bandits refused to move even though they had no income...
What does this mean?
It means there is something fishy.
It shows that there is financial support behind this group of bandits!
The use of such cruel methods to allow a "lucky" escape was most likely intentional, forcing merchants and people to avoid this road. In addition, the bandits were around 20 years old, all young and strong, and the combination of various clues was very complex.
Food for thought.
in short--
It's a fat sheep!
Most likely it is still a fat sheep.
The sky was getting dark, and a strong smell of food wafted outside the car.
Li Li, who was disguised as a caravan guard, held the food table and knocked on the wooden frame of the carriage. After receiving permission, he raised the curtain and bent down to enter: "Mr. Kang, Mr. Yang."
Kang Shi said: "Thank you very much."
This meal was very simple, but a few slightly burnt pancakes and a large bowl of thick rice porridge sprinkled with minced meat were already a rare delicacy. Lili sat outside the car and had a simple meal
After a while, even the cake foam on your fingers was not wasted.
Kang Shi bent down and walked out of the carriage, and said in passing: "Li Li, you go and accompany Mr. Yang, and I'll arrange the arrangements."
Outside the carriage, the dozen or so seemingly ordinary merchant guards were actually brave warriors under Captain Yang's command.
In the battle of Xiaocheng, all the subordinate officers in Yang Duwei's account were killed, and there were only forty or fifty soldiers left. They were also the best among the best. Basically, every one of them was a brave warrior, and their strength was not changed from the second level to the fourth level.
During this period, Captain Yang fought hard for Xiaocheng to the end. He was not greedy for life, not afraid of death, and did not even care about his family. The surviving soldiers were grateful and willing to continue to follow.
However, Captain Yang's strength was gone, so he gave these people to Shen Tang for "temporary control". It was said to be "temporary control", but in fact it was no different from leaving it to her. Helping bring in new people, it was considered a place to stay, no As for being mixed up to the point of being "as exhausted as a lost dog".
As for Li Li——
Shen Tang asked him to come out to "earn military merit".
See if these "military merits" can be exchanged for military luck.
Li Li's shortcomings are too obvious. If you want to catch up, you need to work harder. Although Captain Yang doesn't understand Shen Tang's plan, he can see that Shen Tang wants to cultivate Li Li.
I am useless, but I still have the experience of going from zero cultivation to eleventh level right concubine commander, which is not something that everyone can have. With his guidance, I don’t know how many detours Lili can avoid.
Speaking of "Li Li"——
This name does sound familiar.
Captain Yang raised his eyes and secretly looked at Li Li, who was sitting at the door of the carriage with a straight posture and a look of preparation.
Even though he seemed to have been hanging out with Shen Tang for a few months, he spent most of the time alone recovering from his injuries and adjusting his mentality. This was the first time he really saw Li Li and had close contact——
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look closely, you feel more and more familiar.
"Your name is Lili?"
Li Li replied: "Back to Yang Gong, yes."
Captain Yang: "The Lili of Shan Hai Jing?"
Lili nodded.
Captain Yang's expression became a little more subtle.
Li Li also heard some other meanings.
"Mr. Yang knows about me?"
Captain Yang only said: "I am a close friend of the former county governor, and he is also his confidant. However, the city of Xin State was destroyed, Sibao County fell, and his family moved to another place. He has a pretty sister in his family..."
Li Li was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Captain Yang continued: "He once mentioned you in front of me...although they were not pleasant words..."
Over and over again, he cursed Li Li and wanted to eat the swan meat. If he was a middle-to-high-level brave warrior, that would be fine. How dare a poor commoner think of a daughter of a noble family? The key is that his own girl was also fooled by lard. They had the same heart, and accepted the death penalty. The former county governor often complained to Captain Yang in private. He made many mistakes, and it was Li Li's fault!
It's all just for fun, but what's the point? As a young widow who lives at home and has the support of her brother, she can raise a few noodles. As long as she likes it, I can buy it for her in any size.
But talking about love with someone you know is really a disgrace to your family!
Captain Yang didn't understand either.
He had never seen Li Li, and he thought that this person would be earth-shatteringly handsome, or that there might be something different about him that would attract the "poisonous spider" whose eyes are as high as his head, but when he saw the real person, he realized that there was no rumor. So outrageous.
Lili: "..."
Captain Yang said: "Work hard."
Li Li looked at Captain Yang in confusion.
Captain Yang said quietly: "If you also have daughters and sisters, you will know. Do you want her to go down for a man, or do you want that man to go up for her?"
If Fan Lili had some martial spirit back then, even if he was a low-level martial artist, with the persistence and stubbornness of the "Poisonous Spider", he and the "Poisonous Spider" might become one. However, it is useless to say this now. After all, things have passed.
After so many years, Li Li may have almost forgotten about it. Captain Yang mentioned this simply because there was no acquaintance around him to let him talk about it.
So boring.
It also means to inspire strength.
After all, knowing shame leads to courage.
Captain Yang didn't expect Li Li to answer him. He was about to close his eyes and take a nap when he heard the big man say in a very soft but unexpectedly firm voice: "I hope Madam will go up."
Captain Yang opened his eyes and looked at him: "Going up?"
Lili said: "I will catch up."
Captain Yang choked.
He muttered: "He is quite an infatuated person."
He always had an indescribable hunch that the former county magistrate would probably be worried because of Li Li.
The moon is at the zenith.
The caravan guards who were forced to stop on the mountain road were also tired. Except for those on night watch, others found a place to rest in the lee of the truck. The bonfire was burning quietly in the night wind, and from time to time, one or two people could be heard.
Sonic blast.
Li Li asked Kang Shi to go to the carriage to rest.
Leave the night watch to him.
Kang Shi was about to get up, but his movements suddenly froze, and then returned to normal in the next moment. If Lili hadn't been so close, he might not have been able to detect it. He asked, "Mr. Kang, is someone coming?"
Although Li Li's physical fitness is good and he is capable of defeating third-class hairpins before he has developed martial arts, he is an ordinary person after all. His five senses do not have enough martial arts blessings, and his range of perception is far inferior to that of brave warriors or literary scholars. Kang Shi secretly pointed out
nodded.
He patted Li Li on the shoulder: "Be careful."
Lili said: "Wei."
Rustling, rustling.
This mountain road has many potholes and is difficult to navigate, and it is located in a depression halfway up the mountain. There are dense forests and weeds on both sides, and the terrain is rugged, making it easy to hide. Li Li listened carefully and could only hear the movement of grass and leaves in the night wind.
The others seemed to be sleeping, but in fact they were secretly vigilant. Lili nervously grasped the handle of the broadsword at his waist.
How will the thief appear? Kill him directly, or secretly attack with cold arrows? Which direction will he come out from?
Veins appeared on the back of Lili's right hand holding the handle of the knife, and his Adam's apple rose and fell as he swallowed saliva.
His force is not weak, but he doesn't actually kill many people.
Just as his heartbeat in his chest was gradually speeding up, an extremely slight buzzing sound came into his ears. It was the sound of a bow string vibrating, and accompanied by a strong coldness rushing from his vest to his brain, he drew his sword with a brush,
Following the body's instinct and intuition, he chopped down the arrow with a snap.
Li Li shouted: "The enemy is attacking!"
Without him shouting, the soldiers disguised as caravan guards also jumped up. Not long after, dozens of figures shot out from the dark jungle and grass. Without saying a word or saying "I planted this tree, I drove this road."
Vulgar lines, just do it!
They look organized and disciplined, with clear division of labor, working in groups of three to five, and tacit cooperation. They don't look like bandits at all!
Li Li shouted: "You've come just in time!"
Having said that——
He aimed the knife at the person who came and chopped off his pocket.
The person who came here was not a vegetarian. He reacted quickly and avoided the fatal knife. With other companions on the side to support him, Li Li could only regretfully hold back some of his strength and kick the little thief who was trying to sneak attack.
The strength of this kick was not restrained at all.
I heard another person scream in pain and was kicked out.
"kill--"
"kill--"
Killing cries rang out on the quiet and remote mountain road.
Soon blood was seen.
Relying on the large number of people, this group of thieves targeted the carriage that was obviously Big Fish, and separated six or seven people to attack it. If they had clairvoyance, they could see inside the carriage. Captain Yang closed his eyes and listened to the carriage.
Despite the commotion outside, Kang Shi also looked calm.
How can this be the calmness that a caravan on the verge of death should have?
Kang Shi said: "Mr. Yang is very good at training his troops."
Those outside the carriage were all brought out by Captain Yang.
None of them used martial arts, and deliberately kept their hands to show off. With only their ordinary flesh and blood body and the moves they had practiced hard day and night, they were able to deal with the besieging few thieves.
You must know that although the gap between low-level martial artists and ordinary people is large, it is not so large as to be ridiculous.
If you are not careful, you may be beaten to death.
Captain Yang did not answer.
There was a clang sound.
I don't know whose knife hit the wooden frame of the carriage.
Followed by a tearing sound.
Half of the blade was almost touching Captain Yang's arm.
Looking at the knife, Kang Shi asked Captain Yang who looked calm: "Mr. Yang, do you want to take action now?"
Captain Yang said: "No need."
Not many thieves came, and their force was average.
Delay for a while and see if any big fish takes the bait.
There were more than a dozen people outside the carriage, not to mention more than a dozen people who came together. Even one of them could pick off the incoming thieves. These thieves were too weak and were not in line with the expected fat sheep.
Kangshi heard the words and stopped urging him.
Just secretly release your energy and keep an eye on the situation.
They are here to "fish" and get under the skin of the enemy, not to kill others - the enemy can be wiped out, but they can't lose one of them!
