A group of extremely vicious bandits wandered onto the Jinniu Ancient Road and had a fierce fight with the Lingnan Chen family caravan. In the end, thanks to the Chen family caravan's resistance, most of the property was regained from the bandits!
In the autumn, as soon as this sudden news came out, it quickly spread throughout Hanzhong.
The magistrate of Mian County, the nearest county, heard this and immediately summoned the people from the Chen family's caravan, hoping to arrest the bandits.
But when he heard that this group of gangsters had fled deep into the mountains, the county magistrate could only look at Lin and sigh. In the end, he had to post a few reward notices on the stone walls of the mountain pass and forget about it.
Chasing bandits in the mountains? Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack? Let alone a small county magistrate, even if the governor of Hanzhong came, there was nothing he could do.
The government had no way to arrest the bandits, and the caravans that frequently entered and exited the Taurus Road immediately became uneasy.
Especially those shopkeepers who knew the Chen family caravan, after seeing their miserable situation with their own eyes, they had no doubts about the authenticity of this rumor!
Perhaps, in the past, there were people who used the name of robbers to embezzle their employer's goods.
But no matter how cruel those people were, they could only fake a few minor injuries, but now almost everyone in the Chen family caravan was injured!
They saw with their own eyes that several guys in the caravan were wrapped up like mummies and lay on the bed unable to move. Even the always arrogant shopkeeper Chen had most of his teeth knocked out!
If the play was staged so realistically just to embezzle some property, those sophisticated shopkeepers would not believe it at all!
Therefore, for a long time after that, the legend of the Taurus Thief was circulated among the merchants, and even some of the later escorts followed it and publicized it, thereby raising the price of escort transportation.
However, none of them knew that the legendary Taurus thief: Xiao Han! At this moment, I was walking tremblingly on the cliff with trembling legs, and my whole clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Who is a great thief but not a great thief?
Xiao Han just wants a road for him to walk on now, which is better than being scared half to death!
I have long heard that the road to Shu is difficult, the road to Shu is difficult! But before experiencing it personally, he never thought that the road to Shu would be so difficult!
If the Qinling Mountain Road they took before was just a winding country road, then the Jinniu Ancient Road was undoubtedly a wire rope stretched above hell.
On one side is an unreachable vertical mountain, and on the other side is an unreachable bottomless abyss. The mountain wind blows, and the weathered gravel rolls down from the stone wall. It was not until a long time later that a subtle sound of falling to the ground was barely heard. It came from under the feet. If this person fell, needless to say, he would immediately fall into a pile of dumpling stuffing.
"When can we finish this journey..." Resisting the urge to look down, Xiao Han asked Ren Qing in front of him with a trembling mouth.
Hearing this, Ren Qing raised his eyes and looked forward, shook his head and said, "It will probably take another hour."
"It will take another hour!" When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately felt like a deflated balloon.
They had been walking on this plank road hanging on the stone wall for more than an hour, and now their calves were getting cramped. If they walked for another hour, wouldn't it cost him his life?
"Master Marquis, why don't you get on the horse and sit on it while I hold the horse for you?" Xiaodong, who was following closely behind, noticed Xiao Han's fatigue and stepped forward to ask with concern.
"Get on the horse?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes, looked at the plank road less than four feet wide under his feet, and then looked at the blindfolded horses. His head immediately shook like a rattle!
Here, my own legs and feet are not trustworthy, let alone those animals! If it couldn't think about it for a moment and jumped, wouldn't it be an unjust death?
"Hey, let's go! We can't live here."
With a deep sigh, Xiao Han, helpless, held on to the mountain wall and trudged forward again.
The yellow crane cannot fly past, and the ape is trying to escape its sorrow by climbing on it!
I used to think this was an exaggeration, but now, Xiao Han finally understands Li Taibai's mood...
Don't say anything else, just look at the horses I brought with me. When they stepped on the plank road, they were too frightened to move forward. They had to blindfold their eyes and let others hold them before they walked. You can know how long this road is. Difficulties.
"Squeaky..."
Just as he was thinking about it, there was another tooth-gripping sound under his feet.
At first, Xiao Han was scared to death when he heard this sound, thinking that the plank road that had been built for countless years was about to collapse, but now, he is somewhat used to it.
Don’t tell me, that’s what the ancients were good at! That means never cutting corners! This plank road has been exposed to wind, sun, and rain for so many years, but it has managed to survive until now. Apart from occasionally making some noise to scare people, there is nothing wrong with it.
"In the beginning, how many people died in order to build this plank road? There are probably many corpses under this cliff."
Holding on to the mountain wall that still bore traces of cuts and axes, Xiao Han sneered at the legend of Wu Ding's founding of the mountain.
If such a huge project can be completed by only five people, then they must not be human beings, but gods! So since he is a god, why bother to build this plank road? Just hold the stone cow and fly to the King of Shu, don't bother with that!
The more nervous you are, the more your mind will think wildly! His thoughts flew to nowhere, and it wasn't until Ren Qing and others in front stopped that Xiao Han suddenly woke up.
"Is the walk over?" There was excitement in Xiao Han's heart. He stood on tiptoe and looked forward, only to find that it was not that they had finished walking, but that another team was coming towards them. At this moment, Ren Qing was stepping forward to say something to them.
If this were normal, Xiao Han would definitely squeeze up curiously to see the situation.
But here, forget it and let Ren Qing figure it out on his own. He just needs to stay calm and don't fall.
The negotiation with the unfamiliar caravan didn't take long. Soon, Ren Qing came back and directed everyone to lean against the mountain wall, leaving a distance of less than one meter on each side for the other party to pass through.
There is nothing to say about this. Shopkeeper Wu told Xiao Han and the others that day that this is the rule of the Golden Bull Road. The humble should avoid the noble, go and avoid the coming, and be light and avoid the important.
Since Xiao Han and the others were going away, and they didn't bring any goods with them, they naturally wanted to avoid the visitors without revealing their identities.
He pressed his body hard against the wall and watched the men driving their mules and horses past.
However, all the mules and horses were not blindfolded. Seeing that Xiao Han's horses were all blindfolded, the other party deliberately looked here a few more times, but it was just a few more looks, nothing to laugh at. mean.
"Okay! Let's go too!" After the caravan passed by, Ren Qing in front also breathed a sigh of relief: "I just asked those people, they will be there in less than half an hour. Jianmen Pass, we can take a rest there and leave again tomorrow!"
