Chapter 538 There are still eight people who want to rob the birthday
At this moment, I saw another caravan coming from the south, about sixty people. One of them was riding a horse. A man with thin eyebrows, long eyes, and prominent cheekbones saw many people gathered in the pergola in front.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked over with his head stretched out, and shouted: "Are you a bad guy?"
When the tea shop owner took a look at the man, he showed a slightly disgusted look. He thought to himself: This guy wandered from Jingxi Road to Shandong. I have also heard that he seems to have done some deeds that undermine the loyalty of the people.
It’s just that King Chao Tian loves to get to know the heroes in the world, but if someone comes to seek refuge with him, no matter whether they are good or bad, he will stay in the village. Moreover, his helpers are indeed very brave, and they are all people who have wanted to earn a fortune.
If this matter is to be accomplished, a few of them cannot be left out...
This tea shopkeeper who cleverly tried to outwit the birth date was certainly not an ordinary person who only made a living selling herbal tea in Futian. He was a person from Dongxi Village in Yuncheng, Jeju, and was called Zhiduoxing Wu Yong.
But it is said that Wu Yong had known Chao Gai, the king of pagodas, since he was a child, and he was not willing to just be a tutor in the countryside teaching people how to read and write. A few months ago, when the red-haired ghost Liu Tang and Yunlong Gongsun Sheng came to Dongyang successively.
After Chao Gai's village in Xicun wanted to invite Chao Gai to rob the birthday card together, Wu Yong also happily joined the gang. He always prided himself on being knowledgeable and resourceful, but he also knew that the time had come for him to show off his abilities.
Youdao is a hundred-footed insect, dead but not stiff. The leading brother of Xiaofu in Bianjing, Xiaojiaji in Damingfu, Bosi in Mizhou City, etc., has a reputation in the world that is far better than that of Ren Xia, King Chao Gai and Chao Tianwang.
Although Xiao Tang had already been killed in Liaodong, he still had many capable and extravagant stewards to help him in various businesses. Therefore, in order to earn this birthday card, one must make a good plan...
.
When Wu Yong heard that Xiao's bodyguard company had more people to escort the birthday party, he weighed the sparsely populated area around Huangnigang, the dangerous roads and rugged roads, and the fact that he was walking in such hot weather. Even a man who was made of iron would not be able to cope with the shortage of water.
In this situation, who doesn’t feel as miserable as a thirsty lung?
It is easy for the hungry to eat and for the thirsty to drink, not to mention the iced tea that can immediately quench their thirst under the scorching sun? Although the Mongolian sweat medicine used in the Tao is usually paired with muddy wine, relying on the wine's color
, the smell of alcohol was used to cover up the color and taste of the Mongolian sweat medicine itself. However, Wu used bitter tea that can promote fluid production and quench thirst as a substitute...
Even though the group escorting the birthday card was still on the defensive, Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and others who were disguised as jujube sellers going to Bianjing, as well as the two people who were also disguised as merchants, took the lead in eating some tea.
, the group of people who first called the bodyguards had no doubt that he was there. Then he and Bai Sheng used a blind trick in front of everyone. In this extremely hot weather and unbearable thirst, how could these bodyguards and coachmen not die?
Taking a big gulp of tea mixed with sweat medicine?
Even if there are still some people in this group of bodyguards who will not fall into the trap... Wu Yong was thinking in his heart, and smiled at his accomplice who was also pretending to be a merchant: "This official is joking, I
I only sell tea here with a few companions in the village and earn a small amount of money. These are either merchants from Haozhou who sell dates to Tokyo, or nobles who escort escorts, in broad daylight, where do these bad guys come from? "
Wu Yong just said that, and he thought in his heart: At that time, the two men from the west of Beijing and the helper found from the border of Qingzhou will take action... One hundred thousand gold and jewelry shells, It was very important to make money from it. There were many dealers above Chao Tianwang's house, and none of them could use it. The two men from the west of Beijing had to gather Chao Tianwang to help them, and gathered some people on the border of Jezhou and Puzhou to make moneyless things. In order to do the trick, Tama had turned over most of the escorts. With their skills and manpower, it would not be difficult to seize the birthday card.
The accomplice who was also pretending to be a merchant laughed after hearing this and said: "They say that strongmen often appear and rob merchants on the road ahead. How can you be so bold and dare to set up a pergola here to make tea and make a living?"
Wu Yong gave a fake smile and waved the palm leaf fan in his hand while saying: "I have been setting up a stall here for some time, and I have seen a lot of merchants and pedestrians passing by, but I haven't seen any bad guys come to rob and cut the path. Even if it is true, this small business does not have much wealth, and this day's livelihood is worth buying peace of mind."
However, although Wu Yong, who had all his accomplices and agencies, sang along and entered the pavilion with a burly man, Wu Yong, Bai Sheng and a few helpers fished some cooling tea from a large bucket and sold it to Yu. The group of people sipped tea to cool off the heat. The group pretending to be jujube sellers also catered to them. But Yang Lin, on his side, had already winked at Shi Xiu, Xue Yong, and Shi Yong. And he pursed his lips towards the big man with the cinnabar marks on his temples.
Shi Xiu saw clearly that the appearance of the rough man Yang Lin meant was very consistent with the red-haired ghost Liu Tang mentioned by Lu Zhishen who had gone to Erlongshan Dazhai to persuade him to earn the birthday gift together, and with the red-haired ghost Liu Tang mentioned by Xiao Tang. The pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank, and he turned towards Xue Yong hurriedly. Shi Yong secretly signaled to be calm and calm.
It was just that Xie Du was watching two groups of merchants sipping ice-cold tea at the pergola. Their hearts were already itching. In this scorching hot weather, they only drank a few mouthfuls of warm water. What can we do? Xie Duguan immediately said to Yang Lin: "Boss, we are very hot and thirsty, and there is no place to ask for water or food on the hillside. Why not buy some herbal tea to relieve the heat? It will be better." Don’t you have the strength to go on the road?”
Some of the bodyguards escorting the birthday party, including Xiang Yong, were also interested and were trying to collect some money to buy tea. However, Shi Xiu suddenly raised his hand and looked at Xie Duguan, who suddenly He smiled and said: "Everyone respects the elders. The two Yuhou are also officials who stayed in Xianggong's mansion. If they want to drink tea, they should drink it first. We brothers are just scumbags working for Master Zhongshu." Hey, you might as well eat it later."
Xie Duguan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Why did Shi Xiu, who had always been cold-faced all the way, treat me so courteously and courteously as if he were a different person? Ah, yes, Zhemo was listening at this time. So Yang Lin's advice, now do you know it's a promotion?
Seeing Shi Xiu being so respectful, Xie Duguan said a few more polite words, but Shi Xiu insisted on asking Xie Duguan and the two Yu Hou who stayed behind to drink first. Seeing Shi Xiu's persistence, Xie Duguan and the two Yu Hous drank first. Hou thanked him with a smile, and hurriedly went to find Wu Yong. Bai Sheng bought ice tea to relieve the heat.
Wu Yong, who thought his plan was all right, was slightly startled. He smiled and asked Shi Xiu and others, "Why do you guests buy some ice tea in this hot day?"
However, Shi Xiu's pair of tricks stared at Wu Yong coldly, and said playfully: "Don't be busy now. After the three ministers have had tea, it won't be too late for us to eat again."
Seeing Shi Xiu's stern gaze, Wu Yong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he wondered in his heart: How is this possible? No one born with a mortal body would be able to endure such hot and unbearable weather, not to mention that Bai Sheng and I just took the ladle. There is iced tea in the bucket, and there is nothing wrong with the method of stirring the sweat medicine into the tea. How could this man see through my plan!?
Shi Xiu smiled coldly again and asked Wu Yong: "Shopkeeper, in this hot and scorching summer day, there are no homes nearby, and there are rumors that strong men are coming to cut paths... It is said that you have an ice collection cellar. Bing should be from a wealthy family, so why do you have to hawk here? Don't you worry about the danger? "
It seems that this guy is just suspicious, but he may not have seen through my good plan... Wu Yong's expression was as usual, he waved the cattail leaf fan lightly in his hand, and said with a smile: "Who are the big families like me? But they are all The helper in the former town's remaining members' house, thanks to the kindness of the master, allowed us to hide some ice and make a small living. Although this place is remote, it is a must-pass road from south to north. In recent days, we have also heard that some bad people are rampant. .... It’s just to earn a few cents, and you have to accept the hard work.”
Shi Xiu secretly snorted and said to himself: This guy is very calm! On the side, Xie Duguan and a Yu Houguan were anxiously pouring iced tea into their mouths, and the two of them suddenly stopped. It felt as if a cool nectar had entered their organs and extinguished the poisonous and unbearable heat in their bodies.
However, the other waiting officer was a little more careful. He only drank half a sip of tea before he noticed that Shi Yong and Xue Yong, who were guarding the birthday card, drank in a low voice to quell the thirst of the escort team. They also wanted to buy ice tea to relieve the heat. The escorts were hot. Then Yu Hou vaguely noticed that the vendors selling dates on the other side, as well as the new group of merchants who had just arrived here, seemed to have gradually serious expressions...
Yu Hou realized something was wrong, so he put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and stopped drinking. As time passed slowly, Shi Xiu, Yang Lin and others were still sitting in the carriage, looking coldly at the tea in the pergola. The shopkeeper, and the two groups of vendors next to him...
After a while, Xie Duguan also noticed that something was wrong. He asked: "Manager Shi, why are you..." But as soon as he said the words, he felt dizzy and light-headed! Along with that, The two Yu Hous suddenly collapsed on the ground like a ball of mud!
"That's right! That's right!"
This sentence came from Shi Xiu's mouth.
More than a dozen people from the two groups of merchants who had looked so amiable just now stood up immediately, and their hands reached for the weapons beside them. The tea shopkeeper in the pergola had a sinking look on his face, and there was a bit of unwillingness in his eyes. , and still a little confused.
Shi Xiuchuo picked up the Mo Dao in his hand and jumped down from the carriage. He looked at the man with the cinnabar marks on his temples and glared at him and said in a solemn voice: "This hero must be able to Is he the red-haired ghost Liu Tang from Dongluzhou?"
Liu Tang was startled, then he raised his sword, pointed at Shi Xiu and shouted: "You thief, how do you know grandpa's name!?"
At this time, the handsome and majestic man next to him hurriedly grabbed Liu Tang and persuaded him: "Brother Liu Tang, don't worry, let's see what he says!"
There was a hint of ferocity in the corner of Shi Xiu's mouth, and he looked at the big man again and said: "This must be the Chao Gai Chao Tianwang of Dongxi Village, Jeju, who is praised by people in the world, right? But I don't know who is the king.
Wu Xuexue? And the Taoist Priest Yiqing from Erxian Mountain in Jizhou, the hero named Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng, must be here too, right?"
