Langzhou is the border of Daliang, and the forefront of the border is Chongbeiguan, known as the gateway of Langzhou.
This time Gu Sinian and the others went to the city affiliated with Chongbeiguan:
Youtun City.
If there is a right, then there is a left. The two garrison towns are stuck on the east and west wings of Chongbeiguan, forming the horns of each other, and together they form the Langzhou border defense.
Even though Youtun City and Fengchuan County are both under the jurisdiction of Langzhou, in fact the border area is vast and sparsely populated, and the vast territory is far beyond that of the Central Plains Prefecture and County.
It is a full two hundred miles from Fengchuan to Youtun City. The next hundred miles are almost all yellow sand and deserted.
At the dawn of spring, there is no trace of greenery, and a feeling of desolation and desolation hits our faces.
The two hundred miles were enough for Gu Sinian and the others to walk for several days while pushing dozens of large and small flatbed trucks, as well as several ox carts.
Gu Sinian didn't have high requirements for this gang of people that Zeng Lingchuan talked about, as long as he got to Youtun City on time and didn't cause any trouble.
It's scary as hell. On the second night of camping in the wild, two groups of people started fighting, and it was an ugly scene.
A group of farm men and ordinary people headed by a blacksmith signed up to go to the front line just to earn a living;
On one side are the prisoners in the prison, and there is strength in numbers.
The reason for the conflict between the two gangs is also very simple. The blacksmith is too edible.
Bowl after bowl, one person can feed several people. The prisoners thought that the blacksmith had eaten their food, and they complained and made trouble.
Naturally, the other people couldn't stand these prisoners, and they all sided with the blacksmith.
"Hit him, beat him!"
"Damn, a group of prisoners can turn the world upside down!"
"You arrogant guy, I want to see how capable you are!"
"Bang bang!"
Beside the bonfire, two figures were fighting each other, with fists to the flesh. One of them was the blacksmith.
There were two groups of people nearby who were clearly engaged in a verbal spat, and were ready to fight if they disagreed.
Gu Sinian stopped Zeng Lingchuan and others who were trying to start a fight, and watched with interest.
Wu Xiang whispered from the side:
"That guy's name is Lin Yihuai. He was caught selling illegal salt and was almost sentenced to death by the government.
It was only two months after I got it, and it was a thorn in my side. "
"Selling illegal salt is a serious crime."
Gu Sinian said in surprise:
“But he also has the ability to be a thorn.
Look, the blacksmith is much stronger than him, but this guy still has a chance to fight back. "
Judging from the scene, the blacksmith naturally had the upper hand, but Lin Yihuai was not ready to surrender and resisted fiercely.
In fact, Lin Yihuai's body was already considered strong among the crowd. Unfortunately, his opponent was a strong man like a blacksmith, so he gradually became at a disadvantage with every blow.
"Plop~"
"Ouch~"
Finally, the blacksmith seized an opportunity and threw Lin Yihuai to his back with a back throw. The two of them decided the winner.
"Humph, is that all you have?"
The blacksmith looked at him condescendingly, twisted his neck, and said disdainfully:
"Come again if you don't accept it!"
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
Lin Yihuai's eyes widened with anger, and he wanted to rush up and bite him a few times.
"Let's see who dares to move again!"
Gu Sinian, who had been watching the excitement, finally stood up and shouted expressionlessly:
"Getting together to fight and delaying the delivery of food is a serious crime of beheading!
Which of you can afford it? "
Gu Sinian's cold shout frightened everyone, but Lin Yihuai still shouted angrily:
"Master Gu, everything must be reasonable, right?
Is it fair that he eats the food of three people by himself and leaves us with nothing to eat? "
"Yes, he eats so much! It's not fair!"
"He's finished eating, and we're left hungry!"
With Lin Yihuai taking the lead, a group of prisoners started shouting.
Gu Sinian, who is slightly thin and has a scholarly appearance, is not convinced by the public and lacks prestige in their eyes.
"Fuck your shit!"
The blacksmith angrily said:
“I can eat as much as I like, and the county government doesn’t stipulate that everyone can only eat so much!
If you are not convinced, come up and I will practice with him! "
"Yes, come up if you don't agree!"
"A bunch of prisoners, none of them good!"
The blacksmith's side also had no shortage of people to help him, and there was a lot of curses and spittle flying from both sides.
"Don't make any noise!"
Gu Sinian drank coldly and looked at Lin Yihuai:
"You just said fairness? Okay, I will talk to you about fairness!
Before setting off, he did more work loading the grain bags into the truck than the three or five of you. Do you admit it?
The team pushed the cart along the way, and you all took turns, but he was alone from morning to night without rest, and never said a word about tiredness.
It’s not that I am biased towards him, but I would say it’s fair for him to eat enough for three people because he has a lot of work to do.
what about you!
Who is working hard and who is lazy, don’t you know? "
Prisoner No. 10 suddenly became silent and his face turned red.
They all see the work done by the blacksmith, who dares to compare with this pervert.
Although Lin Yihuai, the one who took the lead in provoking the trouble, gritted his teeth and remained silent, it could be seen that he was still not convinced and felt that he had suffered a loss.
Gu Sinian then spoke:
"Don't you like to fight? I'll give you a chance to fight with me!
If you beat me, you can eat as much as you like from now on, and no one else can control it!
If you can't beat me, just be obedient! "
As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of people watching were all stunned.
Why would this Mr. Gu, who is weak in culture and culture, dare to say such a thing?
But Qin Xi, Zeng Lingchuan and others were watching the show with their chests crossed. They knew Gu Sinian's skills.
Gu Si Nian took a step forward and shouted:
"They are all men who piss themselves in the wind, spitting and nailing each other. If you have any dissatisfaction, don't keep it in your heart.
Dare you say a word! "
"Master Gu, I'm coming!"
The blacksmith stood up first, rolled up his sleeves and said:
"If I hurt you, you can't blame me, right?"
"Haha, that's not a bad tone."
Gu Sinian slightly bent his legs, stretched out his stance, and clapped his hands:
"Come on! Try it!"
"Then Master Gu, you have to be careful, I'm coming!"
The blacksmith was straight-tempered and showed no signs of shyness. He rushed out in one swift step.
His sturdy body was like a mountain, smashing into Gu Sinian with great pressure.
He stretched his hands forward at the same time, wrapping around Gu Sinian's left and right sides, and wanted to give him a hug.
However, he was obviously afraid of hurting Gu Sinian, so he didn't use all his strength.
Just when everyone thought that Gu Sinian would collapse at the first touch, Master Dianshi turned his body slightly, moved his left foot back, turned his right hand to grasp the blacksmith's wrist, and lifted him onto his back.
Taking advantage of the force, he threw him over his shoulder.
The blacksmith's expression changed drastically, and he flew out uncontrollably. He never expected that Gu Sinian's arms would be so strong.
"Plop~"
"Hiss~"
When the blacksmith's heavy body fell to the ground, the whole audience gasped.
Darling, this Mr. Gu is really beyond his appearance~
Knocking down such a big guy with just one move?
The blacksmith who patted his butt and stood up didn't seem to feel the pain, but said honestly:
"Master Gu, you are amazing!"
"Ha ha!"
Gu Sinian laughed loudly:
"Come again, don't hold back!"
"okay!"
The blacksmith stepped forward again, this time he really used all his strength.
"Hey!"
"Bang bang!"
The intertwining figures and fierce shouts stunned everyone, and Lin Yihuai's expression changed.
They didn't expect that the silent Gu Sinian could fight the blacksmith vigorously, with strong skills and ruthless moves.
If the blacksmith hadn't been too strong, he would have been knocked down by him again.
In fact, Master Gu has reached a state of exhaustion, and both his pace and punching speed are weakening.
But he really wanted to try his blacksmith skills, and he also wanted to know where his limits were.
"drink!"
"Sir, be careful!"
Just when Gu Sinian was stunned, the blacksmith leaned over and approached him.
He grabbed Gu Sinian's thigh with one hand and lifted it up, directly carrying Gu Sinian on his shoulders.
"drink!"
The blacksmith, such a big man, just held Gu Sinian in circles like he was carrying a chicken.
"Hey hey hey~"
Gu Sinian was completely at his wits end now, shouting uncontrollably.
The blacksmith was also upright. After spinning twice, he let go and threw Gu Sinian out:
"Plop~"
"Ouch~"
"grown ups!"
Qin Xi and others who were watching the excitement were startled and exclaimed. They hurried forward and helped Gu Sinian up, who was grinning in pain:
"Sir, are you okay?"
The blacksmith was stunned on the spot, at a loss:
"Gu, Mr. Gu, I, I didn't mean it, it was just smooth..."
"Hahaha! It's okay."
Gu Sinian said straightforwardly:
"I throw you once, you throw me once, we are even, hahaha!"
Gu Sinian didn't mean to blame at all, and he didn't act like an official. He immediately won the favor of many people.
"He won. According to the agreement, from now on, he will earn whatever he eats based on his own ability. No one can complain!"
Gu Sinian looked around the whole place:
"Does anyone else want to come out to practice?"
The whole place was silent.
Finally, Gu Sinian's eyes stopped on Lin Yihuai.
Lin Yihuai gritted his teeth and finally smiled bitterly:
"Sir, I accept it.
What just happened was that we were wrong. "
If at the beginning, he had the courage to fight Gu Sinian, but after seeing Gu Sinian's skills, he understood that even if he went up, he would be defeated in disgrace.
Have you ever seen such a big blacksmith struggling to deal with Gu Sinian?
"Very good, anyone who dares to admit his mistake is a man!"
Gu Sinian raised his voice and said:
"You know what the frontline and border areas are even if I don't tell you.
From now on, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, no prisoners! Farmers, we are all the same strong men!
Internal strife will only harm others and yourself. If you don’t want to die, take more care of the brothers around you!
Understand! "
"clear!"
A series of cheers rang out from the crowd. The fight just now was enough to help Gu Sinian establish a certain prestige.
It seemed that the blacksmith had won, but in fact Gu Sinian also impressed everyone.
"Okay, let's all disperse."
Gu Sinian lost his momentum and waved his hand:
"Have a good rest and continue your journey tomorrow morning."
Everyone dispersed in twos and threes, while Qin Xi secretly gave a thumbs up:
"What a trick. Now those prisoners won't dare to look down on you anymore~"
Qin Xi is a bandit leader. He understands the importance of being a leader and must be able to convince the crowd!
"hey-hey."
Gu Sinian smiled knowingly:
"Let's rest too~"
"good!"
"Da da~"
Just when Gu Sinian was about to find a place to take a nap, there was a strange noise in the distant night.
"Da da~"
Not only Gu Sinian, but also Zeng Lingchuan and others heard the noise and all turned to look around.
"Da da~"
"Horse hooves!"
Zeng Lingchuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he roared:
"Cavalry, Beiyan Cavalry!"
