Su Ren's eyes could kill, and Hawking huddled in the corner like a cat, begging for mercy: "Brother, I really didn't mean it. If you know this, you won't even kill me!"
Twelve Niang smiled so brightly that she startled the child in her arms and made Dong Qian want to find a hole in the ground to crawl in.
Su Ren suppressed his anger: "Tell me, what's the big deal? If you can't tell me a reason, see how I deal with you!"
"Ah! Oh! That's it. I saw that little brat Ying Guangji heading towards my eldest sister's room!" Huo Jin stood up in a hurry: "He also brought two of his people with him. He didn't know what he was going to do, so he came over quickly to tell me
Brother."
Su Ren is not an idiot. When Hawking spoke, his eyes were dazed and evasive. Normally, with Hawking's personality, if he discovered such a thing, he would immediately draw his sword and kill Ying Guangji, but now he chose to report to himself at a distance.
It’s strange that there is no problem with this.
He glared at Hawking and said, "Master Ying only has one old servant in the inn. Where can he get the manpower?"
"Uh...! The ones who just came from outside are all tall and strong, even more powerful than Lao Huang! By the way, they even have ropes with them! Maybe they want to kidnap my eldest sister. Brother, why don't you go and have a look?
"
Su Ren smiled: "What else? Do you have any weapons? Don't forget that your eldest sister also knows some martial arts."
"Yes, yes, there are weapons, look at my memory! Brother, do you want to call someone?"
"Get lost!" Su Ren shouted. Hawking wanted to speak, but Su Ren raised his foot and kicked him over: "Who taught you this? Tell me!"
"Yes, yes..." Huo Jin was startled. He had never seen Su Ren get so angry: "The Thirteenth Niang said that if you do this, you can marry the eldest sister. That Ying Guangji is not a good person at first glance.
Lao Huang said that the way that boy looked at my eldest sister was wrong. If you want to marry, marry her as soon as possible. Don’t let your eldest sister wait!"
The courtyard was quiet. Hawking's words expressed everyone's thoughts. Ever since he was first brought to Laojun Temple, everyone in Su Ren thought that Leng Yue must be his future wife. But three years passed by and Su Ren never
I mentioned this matter. I had a child with Lu Yi, and I kissed Dong Qian, but Leng Yue, who had been waiting for him for three years, became nothing.
Su Ren waved his hand: "Get out! Don't lie to me with this kind of thing again!"
"I won't leave. You haven't answered my question yet. When will I get the answer? When will I leave again!"
Su Ren wanted to get angry again, but Dong Qian held him back and said to Huo Jin with a smile: "Xiao Jinzi, let me give you an answer for him. I guarantee that there will be a sister Leng Yue in this Su family!"
"You!" Su Ren looked at Dong Qian in surprise.
Dong Qian said: "You are an excellent man. I didn't expect to have a woman by your side. Leng Yue and I are like sisters. I guarantee there will be no fire in the backyard. A man has three wives and four concubines. Counting Lu Yi, you too
It’s just three wives, don’t bring back a fourth concubine.”
"Okay, I'll tell the eldest sister to go!" Huo Jin got the approval. Not only can Leng Yue marry his eldest brother Su Ren, but his wife is not a concubine. This is very important. According to the tradition of the Han people, there is only one wife in a family.
They can be buried in ancestral graves, but concubines are not eligible. Although he didn't know where the Su family's ancestral graves were and what the difference was between being a wife and a concubine, Hawking was still very happy.
Su Ren had a new understanding of the open-mindedness of ancient women. Thinking of those women in later generations, she wished she could tie her man to the waist of her pants. His first girlfriend had to report every time she went to the toilet, and Su Ren endured it.
After half a year, we broke up because I couldn't stand it anymore.
Looking at Dong Qian, Su Ren solemnly said: "I will never let you down!"
It didn't take a stick of incense to spread the news throughout the inn, and even Ying Guangji knew it clearly. With a sigh, Ying Guangji fell on the bed and even ate his food.
The next day, the needed mules and horses were finally ready, all the goods were put on the horses, and a group of people were ready to set off. As a companion, Ying Guangji was also in the team. But everyone no longer treated him like they did a few days ago.
With a good look on his face, Ying Guangji and Lao Pu followed him at a distance and could no longer integrate into Su Ren's group.
After entering the mountains, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and there were fewer and fewer people coming and going. The long horse team soon became the target of bandits. If nothing else, the dozens of mules and horses were worth taking action.
It's just that a guard of fifty people is daunting.
Hutou, the leader of Feihu Village, received the news about the minions. He pondered for a long time and sighed: "Son, we only have the manpower we have. Even if we succeed, we will suffer heavy casualties. Maybe we won't eat the fat, but instead...
Compensate for the cottage, vultures and leopards are watching!"
"You can't just look at the fat on your lips and not eat it, right?" The second village leader immediately shouted: "That's dozens of mules and horses, as well as property. I have sent people to find out who these people are.
He is from Shu County and is known as the richest family in Shu County. He is absolutely indispensable for his wealth, not only 100,000 but also 50,000."
"Master of the Third Village, I have an idea!" The Master of the Third Village, who was hiding behind Hu Tou, interjected. This Master of the Third Village is the most thoughtful. Although his martial arts skills are not very good, he is not an ordinary person to be able to do what the leader of the Third Village can do with his resourcefulness.
"Oh? You have the most clever ideas, tell me!"
"Since we can't take down Feihu Village, why not join forces with the vultures and leopards? The three families will have a greater chance of success together. If we get it right, we can even swallow the vultures and leopards together."
The leader of the Second Village laughed strangely: "Okay, Third Brother, this is a good idea. Brother, just do it like this, wait for the right time and win it all. From now on, Feihukou will be our world."
Hutou thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's a good idea, but I'm afraid the vulture and leopard have the same idea, and it won't be good if the three fires merge."
"Don't worry, Village Master, I'll go find the Vulture and Leopard right away, and I'll definitely convince them to come and help!" The Third Village Master chuckled, "Please, the Second Village Master, please keep an eye on those people, and don't let them escape!"
The leader of the second village clapped his chest and said, "Put it on me. This Jiange Road has been a road since ancient times. If you just move your hands and feet, you can trap them in it for a few days."
Jiange is the gateway to the middle of Sichuan. It has the Jianmen Pass. This pass is located between two mountains. It is so tall that one man can pass it and no one can open it. It is another majestic pass in Shu except Yinping Pass. The population of Jiange is sparse.
There are just a few villages on the mountainside, not even a larger market town. Most of the steep mountain roads in Jiange are on the mountain roads. The roads in central Sichuan converge here, and you can only leave central Sichuan by crossing Jianmen Pass.
After walking for three full days, they were still wandering in the mountains. The villages they passed were either dilapidated or sparsely populated. Su Ren rode a white horse, broke off a branch, pointed to a gentler hillside in front of him and said: "Okay, it's not raining.
It's early, we will camp there tonight, have an early rest and continue our journey tomorrow."
Everyone took a deep breath and jumped off their horses to find a place to rest. Hawking took his guards to set up a tent, looked for water sources, and buried pots to make rice. Sleeping in the open air was fine for adults, but the children of Twelve Niangs and Thirteen Niangs couldn't bear it, and they spent the whole day
While sleeping, the two women thought they were sick. Lengjun came to Su Ren and asked him to take a look at the child.
Su Rendao: "I was going to see a doctor at that time. I must be tired. I can get some food and sleep for a night and everything will be fine."
Leng Jun glared: "How do you know without looking? You don't know how to see a doctor? Old Hu was about to die back then, and you were able to save me. You don't want to save my child, right?"
Su Ren had no choice but to pretend that the child did not have a fever or cold. After changing the words he just said into a mysterious statement, Leng Jun was satisfied and left with Twelve Niang and the child.
As soon as Leng Jun left, Su Kai came. Su Ren said quickly: "I really don't know how to see a doctor. Your child is just tired. Even adults are tired after walking for a day, let alone the child, just take a night's rest!"
Su Kai smiled and said: "I know, having lived in Bodi for so many years, I know a lot about medical skills."
"Then you still come to me?"
Su Kai winked at Su Ren and lowered his voice: "There are people following us."
"Who? Could it be..."
Su Kai shook his head: "No, Ying Guangji is from Xianyang, and his men are all from other places. The people who follow us walk like flying. They are obviously used to walking in the mountains all year round. According to my guess, it is very likely that
Bandits."
"Are there any bandits around here?"
"Yes! I found out when I was in Zitong that there are three groups of bandits on Jiange Road: Hutou, Vulture, and Leopard. The number of each family is not too many. The largest group of Hutou has a hundred or so men, and the other groups have
There are only seventy or eighty people in the family."
Su Ren smiled: "You did a good job in your homework!"
Su Kai glanced at Su Ren: "I'm not doing this for you, but for my wife and children."
"Okay, no matter who it is, can you catch them?"
Su Kai didn't answer, turned around and walked into the woods nearby. Watching Su Kai go away, Su Ren ordered Huang Shisan to find Huo Jin. Huo Jin was sweating profusely. The fifty guards he led not only had to protect Su Ren and others
, and are also responsible for the work of porters. They are still busy when others are resting, and they have to keep vigil when others are sleeping. These fifty guards work the hardest along the way.
"Guard carefully tonight, arrange more sentry posts, as far away as possible, and set up traps around the camp. Su Kai just found someone following us. Maybe there will be a fierce battle tonight."
Hawking suddenly became excited: "Don't worry, brother, I will make arrangements immediately."
After arranging for Huo Jin, Su Ren asked Huang Shisan to find Ying Guangji. After the two looked at each other for a few times, Su Ren got straight to the point: "Master Ying, you should know that my team is being targeted by bandits.
, if you don’t want to leave now, can you call your people out? As far as I know, there are three bandits on Jiange Road, most likely a combination of three bandits, the number is about 300, I need your help."
"I'm just a student on a study tour. Where did I get my subordinates from? Did Brother Su make a mistake?"
"Master Ying, let's not talk secretly. We all know what happened between you and me. Thank you for letting me go. I will definitely repay this favor!" Su Ren looked at Ying Guangji, with no murderous intent in his eyes.
Another kind of coldness. Huang Shisan’s hand has already been pressed on the hilt of the sword. (To be continued)
