Chapter 240 Was the old thief startled when the battle was fierce? Cross the river!
Chapter 240: Are the old thief frightened when he was fighting hard back then? Cross the river!
If the Jincheng business is not moved, it will be no small part. As long as you move goods northward through the Ezhou branch, you will have documents from Zezhou Prefecture. You can transport as much as you want. In addition, the soldiers and horses in the north and south are arranged in order, and you will have a strong escort team. Not to mention that ordinary thieves who robbed families and robbed families dare not look at each other directly, even the Song and Jin soldiers who inspected river defense often detours to avoid trouble.
In order to avoid the difficulties of the Jin and Song dynasties, merchants from north to south were willing to travel with them. So after passing Xiangyang, this group of merchants gathered all the scattered soldiers and brave men from Jiangnan. Local merchants only had no less than 150 carriages to pull goods. There were also more than 30 "buses" carried by the elderly, weak, women and children. There were scouts in front of them, holding high the flag of Jincheng merchants. They opened the road more than 20 miles ago. On one side, they were sentry detectives, and they were not without the intention of showing off their power. They told all forces that Jincheng merchants had passed since then, and they all came to provoke. Relying on the titles of Jin Guoze and the prefectures of Lu, Yang Zaixing was famous everywhere, and no one dared to provoke him.
Wan Qien didn't care at first, but was surprised that this group of merchants was so powerful that they were both north and south. However, there were no less than three hundred cavalrymen with swords and guns. There were many weapons on the carriages. Judging from the appearance of this group of escorts, it was no problem for ordinary Jin army rangers. No wonder that even when they arrived in Zhuxian Town, no Jin came forward to interrogate.
Although Zhuxian Town is not crowded, the Jincheng business rules must take a break here when traveling south and north, not without the intention of remembering Yue Fei's battle back then. This is not Yang Zaixing's order, but the habits formed by the friends have never violated them. This night came to Zhuxian Town, and it was less than fifteen in August, but it was not a matter of two. Under the bright moon, nearly a thousand people were resting in the night, which was very lively, with bonfires everywhere, laughing and laughing. The Hu people from the north played and sang on their own, causing many people to come.
A few of the people of Song came from far away from the Western Regions. The shopkeepers had seen too many people, but they didn't care. However, many Song merchants were interested in seeing each other, and even Wanqie was interested in them. They sat in the car for a few days and wanted to open their eyes. But the old man quickly lost interest in these strange things. In less than half an hour, he stopped watching them and accompanied them by several servants, watching the moon alone in the quiet place of the voice. For him, he was not unfamiliar with him in his early years, but he felt a sigh of revisiting the old place.
Who would have thought that less than half a mile away from the brigade, more than ten caravans of corps suddenly appeared around him like ghosts, two of whom had their faces covered.
"This is Lord Wanqi Cheng of the Privy Council of Zezhou. You must not be rude!" The attendants were so scared that their legs trembled. They didn't know what the group of Jincheng corpses were doing, but they were still stubborn and pretended to behave like a yamen.
"Haha! Still tell me who it is! It turns out that he is the old man from Zezhou Prefecture, which is rare! Such a good mood, come to this remote place to enjoy the moon? Well, when drinking and singing, how much life is! This adult is going to Zezhou Prefecture, and he will have to drink wine in the future, but this life is hard to say very much. The boys are harsh on guard, but they are afraid that this old man will accidentally encounter wolf, insects, tigers and leopards, and hurt noble people. It is not good!" A masked sarcastic sarcastic, with a little respect in his speech, and he walked up to chat with him: "The old man is old, and I don't know that this is not a good place to play. At that time, the Song and Jin soldiers died and injured more than 10,000 heroic souls did not disperse, and evil ghosts came out everywhere. In addition, under the feet of the Jin people, they rode everywhere. No matter which one they hit, they would not have good results. At this age, it is not easy to cherish their lives. What if they are walking around?"
This was said lightly, and it was accompanied by the sound of insects and birds everywhere. The traces of people were sparse, which made people feel cold. Wan Qie had goose bumps all over his body, his lips trembled for a moment, and he couldn't speak.
"Ha! This prisoner is so bold! How dare you speak to my master like this?!" A servant who was accompanying him began to be arrogant when he saw that the group of people said nothing but practice. He took a step forward and began to criticize the masked leader: "Who are you? The one who hides your head and tail is not a hero. This time, it is under the rule of my master. He dares to act here!"
The masked leader laughed, then turned his face and said in a deep voice: "This brother reminds me that someone has forgotten, what are you afraid of when you are here?"
I didn't say much at the moment, and slowly pulled off the masked cloth, with a long red beard, but who was the thief on the road in Xiangyang?
"You-you-you-you-" Wanqie was so frightened that he finally got frightened, but he finally plucked up Yu Yong's halberd and scolded: "Are you not afraid that I will come to Zezhou Prefecture and report it in front of Yang Shenqin?"
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"
The group of corpses laughed loudly, raising the whole field. Several tricky ones laughed at the thief and said, "Uncle Wang must be careful. If this adult comes to the Yang Shenshui Site in Zezhou, he just says that the road is not well protected, wouldn't he be shining? Don't be careless! Hahaha!"
The thief stroked his beard and sneered: "Yes, Yang Shenqin had already given instructions, don't hurt the master's hair. Wang was supposed to be in charge of Ezhou, just waiting for the master to cross the river. This matter is not a small matter. If he didn't escort himself, I'm afraid there will be a mistake. Tian Xing is safe all the way, so he didn't scare the master? If there is anything wrong, please let the master go! Hehehehe!"
The last few laughs were so bad that they didn't know whether they were happy or angry. Wan Qisheng felt uneasy and did not dare to say a word. Seeing that the group of escorts were no longer in trouble, they quietly retreated. When the group of escorts saw Wan Qisheng back to the brigade, they didn't care and stopped forcing and just went with him. The next day, Li Gu crossed the river. When the Jin people saw that it was a Jincheng merchant carriage, they took the money with a smile and let it go casually. More than ten ships on the dock
The large ship with a total of more than 500 stones was waiting there for two or three days. They were all familiar with acquaintances. Wanqien got off the car and was about to get on the boat with his attendants, but several studs came up. The leader bowed and whispered: "This master is probably a distinguished guest of the Zezhou Yamen. Master Yang had already ordered that he prepare a large ship for the master, so there is no need to live with these merchants. Let's take the boat with the younger one!"
Wanqi En and others knew that this was not a place where they could sing their power, so they were not polite at the moment. They followed the escorts, but they were only a few hundred steps away. Sure enough, they saw a big ship with the flag of Jincheng merchants floating on it, but the capacity was less than 2,000 stones, and it was no problem to load hundreds of people. After getting on the boat, they immediately realized that the ship was full of caravans, and almost no merchant. Except for the managers of the merchants, there was not even half a guest on the boat. These people were very careful on the boat. If nothing unexpected happened, the thief heads were probably on the boat!
Sure enough, when I entered the main cabin, I saw that it was several meters wide, and the living room might not be so big. The furnishings were like the wealthy families on the shore. The tables and chairs were made of sandalwood, and the tea sets were nothing more than famous porcelains in the south of the Yangtze River. There were even a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which were not like the style of a warrior, but it was the atmosphere of a large mansion! Wan Qisheng was hesitant and was not sure that he was sitting in a seat. He heard a long laugh: "Hahahaha! If it weren't for such a big ship, Wang was not worried about the distinguished guest. He had to keep his eyes away from the master before he could cross the river and go north. I wonder what this master thought?"
Wanqi was in the cabin and heard the sound trembled, but saw the thief's head coming in with a brocade robe, with flowers and flowers, and was extremely rich, but it did not seem abrupt. It was probably usually worn like this, but the thief's outfit in the blue-clothed look a bit inconsistent.
Wanqi Cheng forced himself to calm down and said in a harmonious voice: "Since the hero is a kind person, when I arrive at Zezhou Prefecture, I will definitely speak kindly to Mr. Yang and dare not betray my virtue!"
The thief laughed again, but said to the heretic: "Young Master is not coming in yet, say hello to the official?"
A person outside the cabin responded softly, but refused to come in for a long time. When he came in, his face was covered with a piece of white cloth, which was not clear.
"What is this hero?" Wan Qisheng suddenly felt uneasy all over. Then he remembered that there was also a masked thief who was with this group of escorts last night. He just couldn't see it, but there was a sense of threat. After thinking about it carefully, it was not the thief who made him sleep last night, but the young man who had been masked and silent. At least from his voice, he could see that he was far younger than the thief. Moreover, the thief called him "Young Master" just now. He probably should be the son of the thief's lord. He didn't dare to be careless at the moment and stood up to ask. However, the eyebrows and eyes looked like a familiar person, and he could only remember it for a moment.
"After leaving for many years, he is as healthy as before. It's rare! Very good! Very good!" The young man knew Wan Qisheng, but he gritted his teeth when he said this, without any congratulations. It sounded very strange: "A family was young back then, and I was afraid that I wouldn't remember the appearance of the adults. But when I saw him today, he was as charming as before. This is a great blessing for my father!"
When Wanqie listened to this, he was the son of a very familiar friend in his early years, but he didn't know which one he was, so he had to bow and say, "A good nephew is so good at memorizing! I am so clumsy and can't recognize which old friend's son? I'll ask for advice from you!"
What a joke, if you want to recognize it, why not besides a masked cloth?
The young man laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Nephew? I dare not, but I dare, a certain family is very unvirtuous! As for an old friend, it can be considered a person. I wonder if the old man recognizes the appearance of a certain family?"
Now he was like a thief, slowly removing the masked cloth, revealing a handsome and handsome face. Although his childishness has not been removed, he has a little bit of beard. He has probably experienced many changes and has a different kind of vicissitudes of life flowing from his eyes. His eyes are now flashing, and he doesn't know whether it is sad or happy, but Wan Qien was shocked: "Isn't it? Isn't it!"
"Yue!——————” Wanqie Cheng was shocked and screamed: "You are a human or a ghost! What do you mean?"
