Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Chapter 348: Precarious too

Views:

Before Madam Xue could regain her senses, she heard the screams of the villainous bandits, and instantly collapsed.

Seeing them fleeing in panic and panic, as if they had seen a ghost, Xue Zhu was full of doubts.

"Run!"

"...It was them, two old monsters who seemed to be young, who killed Master Shengliantan Luo and General Zheng."

"How can you admit that you're wrong? You've seen a few people who look like this? You're still two together, don't run and wait to die? Do you have two heads, or do you think your necks are harder than the old man with bones?"

These scattered and chaotic shouts came into the ears, and the ink carp suddenly realized, and then went dumbfounded.

It turned out that the reputation of myself and Meng Qi had spread to Yongzhou. Although there were not many people who had actually met, their physical features seemed to be "passed on" on the rogue and Lulin Road, and they also added the altar to eliminate the holy lotus in time. The great achievements of the scum of the rivers and lakes.

But surprise is surprise, one cannot let go. Rogues bring disaster to the Quartet, killing more people.

"Brother Meng."

Mo Li greeted him, but Meng Qi made the move without him needing to say anything.

The main reason for speaking out was to show Xue Zhu that the one who appeared behind was his fellow traveler.

Xue Zhu slowly put down the knife, and the groomsmen in the caravan were relieved because the bandits and thieves were gone, and then everyone stared at the menacing group of people before blinking and silent.

They were tapped at the acupuncture point, and they just stopped in the action of desperately escaping. Some people ran and looked back, some people tried to push and shove their accomplices to stop Meng Qi, and everyone turned their backs to this side, as if they were being chased by wolves, tigers and leopards.

The caravan seemed to blink a few times, and when it looked up again, everything was over.

"puff."

One after another, someone laughed out loud, and then pointed at the thieves and cursed.

Mo Li quietly retracted his sword and stuffed it back to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi glanced at Xue Zhu, her expression was a little stiff, she turned her head and asked, "Is this someone A Li knows?"

Mainly, Meng Qi has always met "acquaintances" along the way, otherwise it is someone they "know" together. This situation has never happened before. Rao is Meng Qi, and it is inevitable that he "cares". In particular, he already knew Mo Li very well, no matter if they met by chance or had treated patients before, they would not let Mo Li show too much surprise, and even greetings were familiar everywhere.

"This is Madam Xue..."

Mo Li paused. He and Xue Zhu knew each other well, but they didn't really interact much. He wanted to read, read, study medicine and practice martial arts. He didn't even have time to fall asleep. It is a poison technique. It is said that practicing martial arts is like a bone, and Xue Ting is also reluctant to love his daughter to endure hardship.

It's just that Zhushan County in Pingzhou is too small, and people are basically familiar faces. Who doesn't know who's family

When a family encounters weddings, funerals, and marriages, people from half the city can meet, not to mention people who have friendships from their parents, who are no different from brothers.

The main reason for Mo Li's pause was that he thought of such a situation with hindsight. Although they were not of the same age, it would be impossible to say that Xue Lingjun didn't consider Mo Li when he picked his son-in-law, but it just started and there was no more.

Mo Li used to think that he was a fish, and even if Xue Ting came to test it, he would have refused.

Although the Xue family didn't even give him a chance to refuse, Mo Li didn't think about the reason. Xue Zhu would marry whoever he wanted. There were so many men in the world, and Mo Li didn't have this idea, so naturally he wouldn't care about it. The other party didn't look at him.

It was not until he left Qimao Mountain last year that he was entrusted by Xue Lingjun to deliver a letter to Ma County, and saw a farce that he understood the key.

"This is Mrs. Xue, this is her husband, we are all from Pingzhou." Mo Li found Chen Zhong who was like a thick black iron tower in the crowd. It was embarrassing to say that Chen Zhong was actually regarded as a mountain by Meng Qi. The bandits clicked together.

Mainly, Chen Chong had thick brows and tiger eyes, staring as if he was going to eat people, his fists were bigger than a bowl, and his chest heaving was not inferior to Mrs. Xue.

At the time of the melee, the mountain bandits, the bandits, and the rogue soldiers also fought together. After Meng Qi and Mo Li appeared, most of them hurriedly fled, and even the caravan's grooms tried to chase and kill, but they were actually running, Chen Zhong. It is so misunderstood.

Mo Li explained Chen Zhong's acupuncture points while entering Meng Qi's voice transmission: "That is Xue Lingjun's daughter."

Meng Qi's eyes lit up.

"...Only daughter!" Mo Li didn't know why he emphasized it again.

So I found that the eyes of the national teacher were brighter.

Chen Zhong didn't care that he was trapped. As soon as he could move, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect to meet Doctor Mo here."

The Chen family has a caravan, and they have also encountered bandits in Pingzhou. Seeing the end of the matter, the caravan has packed up the goods again. Some are busy with carts, and some are moving boxes.

Xue Zhu wiped off the blood on the knife, searched among the crowd, and found a few people who looked like bandits.

"The shrewd three of Chiji Mountain, my aunt knows that you are involved in this matter!"

Mo Li was stunned when he heard the words, and began to think about what happened to this familiar name. Fortunately, Chen Zhong, who was beside him, finished the matter in a few words.

It turned out that when the Chen family caravan used to do business in Chiji Mountain, they encountered robbers from Xiaoju's bandits. Of course, they didn't catch it. Instead, Xue Zhu used poison to take it away. There were a few people who were not in the bandit village that day, and they became the fish that slipped through the net. Afterwards, they held grudges and repeatedly encouraged the bandits in Yongzhou, Pingzhou, and the Green Foresters to find trouble with the Chen family caravan.

That's all, they also directly voted for the holy lotus altar, and once planned to win over some bandit villages in Yongzhou, preparing to capture the county seat.

While talking, Meng Qi turned around and brought Yan Cen and the carriage over.

Before everyone had time to sign up for a surname, Yan Cen immediately thought that Shimo Shanzhai had encountered such a "lobbyist" at that time, trying to get them to serve the god-given king and seize the city to rebel.

"They didn't talk about moving the Shimo cottage, but they encouraged the other eight bandit villages." Xue Zhu sighed and said angrily, "Two months ago, the king of Tianshou invaded Jingzhou, and these scumbags also came out to make trouble. They captured two county towns in Yongzhou, but now they have been chased out by the official army and their colleagues in the rivers and lakes, and the remnants have turned into bandits and looted everywhere. Before the trade route from Pingzhou to Yongzhou was cut off, if the fur goods could not be transported out, Ma County The hunters have no food to eat, and we have to buy a lot of salt and sugar, as well as some medicinal materials."

Chen patted the box again, indicating that these were the things they were going to bring back.

"I heard that the officers and troops often come to clear out the bandits, but these people are still very slippery, the rebel soldiers, the green foresters and the mountain bandits... Fortunately, Mrs. Xue of my family noticed the suspicious people she saw yesterday, so she was well prepared. These people Disgraced, dazed with hunger, seeing so many boxes of us, I guess I didn't even think about what was inside, so I grabbed it when I came up."

Madam Xue folded her arms and hummed, "I'm afraid there are some fellows from Chijishan here who are fanning the flames, saying that we brought gold, silver and rice grains."

At this time, the mountain bandits complained one after another, Yongzhou was in chaos for a long time, and now the caravan was almost invisible, and a big fish finally came, how could they let it go.

Mo Li also thought about it, no wonder there were so many Jinyi guards along the way, Gong Jun arranged so thoughtfully, and even made a big fight. It seems that these Jinyi guards were not specially sent, but were originally in Yongzhou to search the remnants of the Holy Lotus Altar.

When Yan Cen heard the news of Shimo Shanzhai, he was very nervous and hurriedly asked.

Chen Zhong thought for a while, then smiled: "It's okay, I heard that the head of Shimoshan cut down two incense masters of the holy lotus altar. Without them, the Jianghu sects in Yongzhou would not be able to react so quickly, and only rely on officials. Army, it's not that easy."

After three years of severe drought in Yongzhou, the people were struggling to live. Those who could escape ran away, and the rest were easily fooled by the rhetoric of the God-given King.

But in essence, it is just a group of rabble, just like Shimo Shanzhai, they are bandits.

In fact, Shimo Mountain is an ideal of escape that Cheng Jingchuan once talked about but could not obtain: a group of people stay away from the world and live in isolation to avoid the harm of the cruel world.

Because people's thoughts will change, after living a life of poverty and poverty for too long, they will miss everything outside, and they will emulate the people who once bullied them, and then bully others in order to consolidate their status. But this problem does not arise in Shimo Mountain, because the people in the stockade clearly know that there is no place for them outside the mountain.

Even if it is not a chaotic world, even if there is no natural disaster, they will still be expelled and despised. They have never been accepted in this world. Only in Shimo Mountain can they be dignified as "people" and not receive strange eyes.

"Shimoshan does have some talents." Meng Qi recalled what he saw at the beginning, Shimoshan used the terrain to catch those ill-intentioned Jianghu people.

Among them is a delusional master of Sang Dao who wanted to cut off the dragon veins of the Lu family of the Qi Dynasty and came to sell to the King of Wu.

Thinking back carefully about the stupid and ignorant villains I saw on the way from north to south, I am also amused.

Meng Qi glanced at Mo Li without a trace, thinking that it was probably because A Li was always by his side, and even the hateful faces of those idiots became part of the wonderful memory.

After Meng Qi looked away, he couldn't help but turn back quietly, accidentally meeting those eyes.

- Mo Li happened to be looking at Meng Qi too.

The four eyes were facing each other, and there was an indescribable aura slowly intertwined.

Unpredictable, they saw similar emotions in each other's eyes, and unconsciously smiled at the corners of their mouths.

Maybe Meng Qi felt that this glance was very quick, and Mo Li didn't notice anything wrong. He thought that he just glanced at it casually and didn't even notice whether he was smiling.

Chen Zhong opened his mouth slightly in surprise, his face full of doubts, and then a hand stretched out from the side to cover his mouth.

Chen Zhong, who was tall enough to block the sunlight above others' heads, lowered his head innocently and looked at Xue Zhu next to him.

"Are these bandits to the government?" Meng Qi asked lazily.

It just so happened that Jinyiwei and the others would be able to find them soon, and they were eager to immediately deal with the bandits wandering in Yongzhou.

Yan Cen's spirit was completely recovered, and the news of Shimoshan made him feel like an arrow, and at the same time he was a little annoyed. At such a critical moment, he was not with everyone from Shimoshan.

"Cough, Brother Meng and I are going back to Pingzhou together. It's a matter of time here. Let's go on the road together."

Mo Li took the initiative to say, and then he found that Lady Xue glanced around him and Meng Qi with an unpredictable expression.
