It was late at night again, and Tang Zhong was driving the carriage. He turned around and glanced at the young Taoist priest who was sleeping on the carriage behind him, feeling secretly worried.
Tang Zhong is the old butler of the Tang family. He is fifty-seven years old this year. He has worked in the Tang family since he was a child and has worked hard all his life. Tang Jie was raised by him.
But today he felt that his master had some problems with his IQ, so a Taoist priest came casually and said a few words, and the master arranged for all the family members to follow him.
He said he was going to Tingfeng Village to bring back the robbed food...
It's not that easy!
He has also heard of the name of the Living Divine Lord, but as a housekeeper, he still feels that the master is a bit hasty.
Is it possible for such a little Taoist priest, whose hair is not fully grown, to do it?
Ancient times are no better than modern times, and modern people distrust each other too much.
In ancient times, having a good reputation could indeed accomplish a lot.
For example, in the Water Margin and the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, if some famous heroes and heroes are registered, they will indeed gain the unconditional trust of many people.
For example, Xiao Mengchang and Qin Qiong in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wu Song and Song Jiang in Water Margin, etc. When they were in trouble, as soon as they signed up, many people would give money with both hands.
Be it simple or kind.
Zhang Qingyuan is very lucky that he has the reputation of a living god in Tangshan County, otherwise it would not be so easy to convince Tang Jie.
A journey of more than a hundred miles would take more than a day to drive.
When they arrived ten miles away from Shaozi Mountain, Tang Zhong stopped the carriage.
"Taoist Priest Qingyuan, we can only send you here. Going further is the territory of Tingfeng Village."
Zhang Qingyuan nodded, "You guys wait for me here."
"You have a good trip."
Tang Zhong bowed and said.
Zhang Qingyuan was stunned and glanced at him in surprise. Why is this old man so tough to speak?
Without thinking too much, Zhang Qingyuan went straight to Tingfeng Village with his sword in hand without looking back.
Keep walking along the path and slowly walk into Shaozi Mountain.
As soon as we entered the mountain, before we walked a few steps, we heard someone talking in front of us.
With one step, he climbed into the clouds with one move. He jumped up and stood on a tree branch four or five feet above the ground.
Looking along the sound, I saw three people in front of me.
Two men in black were surrounded by a wealthy young man.
The young master was dressed in cloud satin and brocade clothes, with lightly parted lips and handsome facial features. When the folding fan swings, it is difficult to hide the noble air.
The two men in black clothes beside him, with light steps and swords in their hands, guarded the young master on the left and right.
The young master is only twenty years old. Although he is irresistibly noble, he is full of foul words and is incompatible with his temperament.
“Damn it, I said anyone would dare to rob such a cottage, but it turns out there’s someone behind it.
Lao Wu, you still said you were a master, why didn't you do it just now? "
The person on the left side of the young master hurriedly leaned over and said: "Reporting to the young master, there are many masters in the village. Although we are not afraid of them, young master, you are worth a thousand gold, and I am afraid that a fight will break out, so I will not be able to take care of you."
If they hurt you, we are responsible. "
The two men were breathing steadily. The man speaking was a strong man, and the man on the right was relatively cold.
The young master glanced at Lao Wu and said angrily: "When this young master returns home, he will definitely send someone to destroy these bandits."
Just after he finished speaking, he added: "No, I can't wait any longer. Lao Qi, you will go up the mountain tonight and leave no one behind!"
After hearing this, the person on the right just responded lightly: "Yes."
"Damn it, I only carry so little money when I go out, just that little money! Two carts of food were robbed by these goddamn bandits before I even saw the victims.
It's all your fault, Old Five. What bad idea did you come up with? I said I would personally escort you, but you had to find some kind of escort agency, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened! "
"Yes, yes, the young master taught me a lesson."
Listening to their conversation, Zhang Qingyuan was a little puzzled.
The two people around him knew by feel that their strength was not inferior to his own.
But they are so careful about this young master. Who is he?
Just as he was thinking, the five and seven men below suddenly stopped and protected the young master one after another.
"What's wrong?"
The rich man who was chattering away looked confused and said impatiently: "What's wrong?"
I saw the two of them patrolling back and forth, looking around. Lao Wu said: "Who is this sacred person? I hope you can show up and see me. Don't be sneaky."
Discovered?
Zhang Qingyuan was also shocked. He held his breath and could be discovered even though he was hiding so secretly. This shows the high level of martial arts of these two people.
Jumping to the ground, the two men immediately drew their swords when they saw Zhang Qingyuan.
When the rich man saw Zhang Qingyuan on the ground, he was a little dazed. Then he raised his head and scanned the heights to see if there was anyone else.
After searching for a long time and finding nothing, he put his hands on their shoulders and said confidently to Zhang Qingyuan: "Hey, little Taoist priest, where are you from and why are you blocking our way."
His tone was frivolous, and he deserved a beating even more than himself.
Eh?
Why do I think of myself?
Lao Wu Lao Qi held his sword and looked at Zhang Qingyuan cautiously, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Zhang Qingyuan curled his lips and said, "Let me tell you first, I didn't mean to stop you. I came here to ask for food. When I heard you scolding Xianjie, I thought you were from the village, so I hid."
"You want food?" The rich man became even more confused and asked, "They even robbed the food from the temple?"
Zhang Qingyuan glanced at him and thought to himself, what the hell kind of brain circuit is this?
"It's not from me, it's from a Confucian businessman."
"What does robbing Confucian businessmen have to do with you?"
"I'm here to help him get it back. Now there are disaster victims all over the place. Finally, a Confucian businessman sells cheap grain. All his family's wealth is invested in this grain. Before it can be transported home, it was robbed by these bandits. What do you think?"
The young master looked Zhang Qingyuan up and down and said in surprise: "It's just you, can you do it?"
Who are you looking down on? Zhang Qingyuan said calmly: "Why not?"
"Let me tell you, there is someone behind this bandit, otherwise we would have killed him just now." The rich man pointed behind him.
The tone is wild and full of confidence.
But looking at his two guards, Zhang Qingyuan didn't feel that he was talking nonsense.
It can also be heard from their conversation just now that his two guards are not unable to kill these bandits, but they are afraid that something unexpected will happen to the young master.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyuan asked: "Do you know who is behind them?"
He sighed: "I just found out that behind these bandits is Longmen. Do you know about Longmen?"
Zhang Qingyuan nodded: "I heard a little bit."
Longmen is a gang in the martial arts world. The leader of the gang, Longwang, is known as the Grandmaster. He is quite famous in the martial arts world and possesses a fierce and domineering martial arts style.
The young master said angrily: "Longmen is trying to make a fortune for the country. These damn gangs rely on their own power to trap bandits big and small in Kaifeng, rob grain trucks, and sell them to grain merchants at high prices.
Tingfeng Village is the largest village nearby. Now the third leader of Longmen, Long Jun, is in the village with a group of Longmen masters. Longjun’s martial arts is not low. Although he is under the master, his martial arts skills are not bad.
I also had two carts of food robbed by them. I went in and asked for it, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't give it to me. Damn it, there were three hundred bandits inside, plus a dozen Longmen masters, it was very difficult to deal with them. "
Hearing this, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but look solemn.
Although he is usually a bit self-righteous, at critical moments he is still somewhat self-aware.
If they were just bandits, they wouldn't be anything to fear. They were just a bunch of rabble.
But if you add the dragon gate masters, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you.
Why don't martial arts masters dare to encounter the army? Because once there are too many people, in the human sea tactic, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, when the number of people reaches a certain number, you can be dragged to death.
In addition, the army and military formations make it even more difficult to fight.
Of course bandits and the army cannot be compared, but when the number of people increases, you will be exhausted.
And now there are not only many people in the village, but also mainly those Longmen masters.
Seeing Zhang Qingyuan's frown, the young master mocked, "Do you still dare to brag now?"
Zhang Qingyuan smiled and turned his eyes to the young master. The young master understood instantly.
"You don't want me to help, do you?"
"Don't you want to get your two carts of grain back?"
"I may not be a match myself, but the two guards around you should be enough."
"No, we can't leave the young master." Lao Wu said immediately.
The young master looked at Zhang Qingyuan and asked, "Is one enough for you?"
Zhang Qingyuan looked at Lao Qi...
