Of course, these single gangsters were all the work of the Qing court. They guarded the main roads entering the city and randomly tested various suspicious characters. This shows Dorgon's caution.
This place is still ten miles away from Jinzhou, so it is so strict. Once it gets closer, it will be even more dangerous. This puts Chang Yu under pressure.
There is Xiaoling River in the west of Jinzhou City. Although it is small in name, it is a big river. There are docks on both sides of the river. It is also a prosperous place outside the city. There are many people passing by here to rest and tiptoe. Over time, it has become a market town. Food, drink and entertainment are all available.
However, it was cold and the river was frozen at this time, so travelers did not need to cross the river by boat. The pier was also much deserted, but there were many travelers stopping here to make a living, and there were shops in the city buying all kinds of goods here. There are also those who have moved into the city late and find a cheap Datong store here to spend the night.
When Chang Yu arrived at the pier, it was still early, but he was not in a hurry to cross the river into the city, so he and Wang Zhengnan walked around the pier and inquired about prices. There were leather collectors and mountain goods collectors here, and many people were not interested. They were willing to go all the way to the city and spend a day, so they thought the prices were pretty much the same and sold them here. However, after shopping around and rejecting several enthusiastic buyers because the prices were not suitable, they decided that it would be better to go to the city and sell them. Price.
The sheepherder's group of sheep were particularly popular, and several buyers gathered around him to bargain. However, the sheepherder was hesitant, saying that they had traveled dozens of miles to get to the last step, and they could sell more when they entered the city.
The buyer poured cold water on him. The market situation in the city is almost the same as here. You may not make a move immediately when you enter the city. You have to stay in the city for a night and have to eat and drink. The sheep is also out of scale. Besides, the soldier in the city says he is in love. Looking for trouble...
But the sheepherder was determined to go to the city, and the buyer was helpless and cursed.
On the contrary, no one cared about the woodcutter, there were too many firewood sellers, and they had to go into the city, so the woodcutter rested at the pier for a while and then carried firewood across the river and went into the city first.
The swordsman was wandering around the pier with a fierce look on his face, and everyone avoided him. I heard that he was going to the city, but some people advised him not to go. There were many military men in the city. If he saw him leading the gang, he would definitely cause trouble, and he might lose his head. There it is.
Although the swordsman looked disdainful, he was still beating a drum in his heart, wandering around the dock, hesitant.
After crossing the Xiaoling River, there are still a few miles to Jinzhou City. There are a lot less people here, and most of them are people leaving the city. Because entering the city at this point, it will be a little late and it will get dark. Once the city gate is closed, it will be dark. You have to spend the night in the city. Those who are rich can find a place to stay for one night. Those who have no money or are unwilling to spend money have to sleep on the street. Summer is okay, but sleeping on the street in this winter is so difficult. The taste is not pleasant.
Chang Yu rested on the roadside and looked at Jinzhou City in the distance. He felt a little lost for a moment. Wang Zhengnan looked a little solemn as he watched the swordsman approaching slowly not far away.
"Are you going in like this?" Chang Yu asked Wuzhong when he saw no one around.
"I'm not that Monkey King who can change seventy-two. Why don't you go in like this?" Wuzhong's expression no longer looked carefree. Chang Yu bit his lips: "You might be targeted if you go in this time. ”.
"What, could it be that you have changed your mind again?" Wuzhong stopped and glanced at the sheepherder in front, seeing him driving the sheep towards the city gate.
"You must not attract attention when you go in. If you don't go in, I will have no helpers, so I will be in a bit of a dilemma." Chang Yu frowned, and Wang Zhengnan said: "How about you hide the knife..."
"If I don't have a sword, I'm like a horse without hooves. I can't help but become a burden. Besides, I can't throw away this sword given by the emperor..." As he was talking, he suddenly heard an exclamation, and several people Following the sound, I saw several people running toward Jinzhou City. The first person was covering his left rib with one hand and holding a knife precariously in the other. Not far behind, several big men were holding weapons and were chasing after them, shouting: "Don't let that guy escape..." …”
A few people were stunned and didn't know why. Other travelers on the road were frightened and gave way.
There was a snap, and the sheepherder not far away swung his whip hard. Several people were startled, and they knew something was wrong. But at this moment, the man in front had already rushed to Chang Yu's side, and the people behind him also caught up. He slashed at the man with a knife. Hearing the sound, the man rolled on the spot. He returned his knife and looked at the leg of the man behind him. The man behind him was accidentally hit in the ankle by him and fell to the ground in pain. He screamed, but he shouted: "Stay alive, stay alive..."
The man who was being chased escaped from the knife and injured the opponent, but he was so injured that he couldn't get up for a while. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by several other big men: "You damn man, you really know how to run." , I will give you a good time if I surrender now. If you resist again, you will suffer in a while."
"Traitor, lackey." The injured man knelt on one knee, covering the wound with one hand and holding a knife in the other to confront several people. He cursed viciously: "I was born a Han but served the Tatars. I'm afraid I won't be able to see my ancestors even if I die." ".
"Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you whether you will surrender." Those people's faces were ashen and unmoved.
"Anyway, I only have one life. I lived and died in a dignified manner, worthy of my ancestors. If you have the ability, come and take it." The injured man sneered, and those few people suddenly became angry; "If you don't eat the toast of a fool, you will have to drink wine as a penalty." After saying this, They waved their swords and attacked, but the injured man couldn't stand it alone. He was slashed several times in the blink of an eye. He was covered in blood but would rather die than surrender: "If you have the ability, kill me with one knife."
What a beautiful thought, seeing that the man had no power to resist, one of the people in the siege kicked the knife out of his hand, reached out and picked it up: "I have tens of millions..." Before he could finish his words, there was a scream, His arm was chopped off with a knife.
The remaining people were shocked and before they could react, they saw the two hunters who were just watching the excitement on the roadside suddenly swung their swords and killed them: "It turns out that there is someone to help you..."
"Take your mother out of the way. I've seen injustice on the road." Chang Yu roared and slashed at the person in front of him with his knife. Although the person was panicked, he was not confused. He was also a good hand and could block Chang Yu's several knives. However, he didn't want to be attacked. Wang Zhengnan, who was fighting with others next to him, cut off his neck with a knife from the side. Chang Yu also took advantage of the situation and killed a guy who sneaked up on Wang Zhengnan with a cross.
Two of them were killed in the blink of an eye, and the remaining three were shocked and asked: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?"
"I know you are a dead man!" A shout came from behind. Wuzhong cut off the river with a knife, chopped one person open, and cut off half of the other person's head with a backhand knife. Yes, he killed two people in the blink of an eye. Then he glanced at Chang Yu: "This is how you use a knife."
"Don't be pretentious, they've all run away!" Chang Yu cursed angrily, and ran after the remaining person. Wang Zhengnan threw a knife from behind, hitting the person in the back!
Kill people, kill people...
Everything happened too fast. The pedestrians on the road recovered and fled in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, all the few pedestrians were gone.
"Who are you?" The dying man stared at Chang Yu and trembled all over.
"Good guy" Chang Yu glanced at him and knew he couldn't save him: "Who are you?"
The man raised his left hand tremblingly and made a gesture on his chest. The sheepherd came running from a distance, looked at it and shouted: "One of our own!"
When the man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "The Tatars gathered their troops..." Before he could finish his words, he fell down and died.
"What are the Tatars gathering their troops for?" Chang Yu was startled, but Wuzhong grabbed him and said, "Don't do anything else yet. It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Let's go quickly."
"We can't go to Jinzhou City." Wang Zhengnan also quickly packed up his belongings and urged him to leave quickly. This place is so close to Jinzhou City, and there will be large groups of troops coming at any time. If you want to leave later, you won't be able to leave.
Walk? Chang Yu sneered: "How far can we go now, and can we lose it?"
Then... a few people looked at him.
