"Then it's Luo Jing's hard work." Wang Shouzhe didn't want to delay any longer, and let Lu Shi suffer losses for nothing.
Moreover, Lu's two uncles treated him and his sister Wang Luoyi very well. Even if it takes a year or two to meet each other, the Lu family will usually send some gifts to Wang Shouzhe, Wang Luoyi, and even the daughter of the aunt Gongsunhui, Wang Luomiao.
"It's not hard, I've eaten a lot of delicious food these two days." Wang Luojing said with a slight smile, "I have endless strength all over my body." As he said that, he even specially made a movement with great strength.
"Come on, just your skinny yellow-haired girl, don't show up in front of me, let's hurry up and start." Wang Shouzhe's heart warmed, and he said with a smile, "After a while, drink some spirit wine and sleep well in the carriage. "
"Fourth brother, he will grow up." Wang Luojing pouted with dissatisfaction, "Fourth brother is not allowed to underestimate Jing'er."
"I don't underestimate it, I dare not underestimate it." Wang Shouzhe helped her little hand into the carriage, "My family, Luo Jing, is the great spirit insect master in the future. Maybe fourth brother will have to rely on you to protect him. How dare you underestimate him."
"Then it's settled. If anyone dares to bully Fourth Brother in the future, Luo Jing will send bugs to bite him."
"Okay, okay, you can say anything, now, go to bed for me."
…
The carriage was driving slowly on a flat road.
Wang Shouzhe rode a black horse and guarded the carriage with several other generals. There are two main roads to go to Yingxiu Lu's, one is to pass through the sunny side of Longji Mountain, or go around the shady side of Longji Mountain.
Since it is impossible to go to the Liu family of Shanyin now, it is natural to go the way of Shanyang.
This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Shouzhe gave priority to assisting the Shanyang Gongsun family to stabilize the crisis.
Originally, Gongsun Qiang wanted to come and deliver it, but Wang Shouzhe refused. Firstly, I really can't stand Gongsun Qiang's low EQ, and secondly, now that the Gongsun family is busy with disaster relief, there are few people.
In addition, the aunt Gongsunhui also took the initiative to keep Shanyang temporarily, saying that she just happened to be with her parents. In fact, she knew her identity well, and it was not appropriate to go to Lu's.
As the horse team walked, they entered a dense forest, and the road gradually became potholed and bumpy.
Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly: "Wang Zhong, this road is not easy, how far is it to get to Yingxiu?"
"Patriarch, this forest is the dividing line between Shanyang and Yingxiu, with a total width of seven or eight miles." The family general Wang Zhong knew the way well, "through the forest is the famous Yingxiu Lake. You haven't been there for several years. It’s Yingxiu, and I used to walk the avenue on the Sanyin side, so I’m not very familiar with it here.”
"Everyone, the woods are usually more dangerous, everyone cheer up."
Following his roar, all the generals cheered up and became more vigilant.
"Wang Zhong, is there something wrong with this forest?" Wang Shouzhe was also more vigilant, "Could it be that there are some rumors of ferocious beasts?"
This world is not a game world. Once a powerful beast appears, it may cause casualties to the team.
"Patriarch, at a junction like this, the Xuanwu families of Shanyang and Yingxiu will take turns to patrol, and some slightly more powerful beasts will be wiped out, let alone fierce beasts." Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's just that we are the guards. I will do some training on weekdays, and in some terrain with poor vision, I must be more cautious, just in case of responsibility.”
The team walked for several miles without any surprises, when they passed a small stream that overflowed the road.
Suddenly!
Wang Zhong's expression changed, and he raised his hand to stop.
The coachman Wang Laoshi hurriedly stopped the carriage, and the rest of the generals also drew their weapons, full of vigilance.
Wang Zhong got off his horse, walked to a small stream beside the road, picked up a small piece of cloth, his face suddenly became serious, and said to Wang Shouzhe who came after him: "Patriarch, this piece of cloth is cut by a sharp knife, There are also some blood stains. There is also some blood that has not been wiped clean on the stones by the stream."
Some things did happen.
When traveling in the wild, the most feared thing is all kinds of accidents. Wang Shouzhe said with a serious expression: "Wang Zhong, tell me your judgment."
"From the point of view of the fabric, this is fine grain cotton cloth dyed gray, and the price is relatively high. Ordinary tenant farmers, commoners, hunters, etc. are reluctant to buy such expensive cloth clothes. Even if they bite their teeth, they will buy them during the festivals Time to wear it." As a general, Wang Zhong was trained by the elders of the generals since he was a child, and he is familiar with this aspect. "Therefore, this person is very likely to be a Xuanwu practitioner with a higher status than a commoner. But his status will not If it is too high, someone with a noble status like you, the head of the family, usually uses more expensive brocade cloth."
"That's the family general, an ordinary member of the Xuanwu family." Wang Shouzhe nodded and said, "or some traveling merchants."
"Pedestrians usually travel in groups." Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "Patriarch, look at these footprints, they should all be the same person, and they walked deep into the dense forest, um, it seems to be evading capture. Therefore, this person has It is more likely that he is a fugitive from a casual cultivator, or a traitor from a certain family. After hearing our voice, he probably didn’t even have time to cover up his tracks, so he hurried into the depths of the woods.”
"Can you catch it?" Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, "We came from the direction of Shanyang, and we haven't heard of any fugitives or traitors, so it is very likely that this person came from Yingxiu. No matter what the situation is, we first arrest him." Hold it and talk."
"Patriarch, don't worry." Wang Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, "This person has been injured, and his behavior is hard to hide. I will take two brothers to find him back."
"Wang Yong, Wang Wu, you follow." Wang Shouzhe ordered, "Everything is about safety, if something hurts, call for help immediately."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The three family generals took the order to act, and the three of them opened a little distance, and searched along the trail in a zigzag shape. In less than a stick of incense, a miserable cry came from the depths of the forest.
Soon, the three generals of the Wang family returned to the carriage with a man tied up heavily on their shoulders.
"Patriarch, fortunately he did not disgrace his life." Wang Zhong threw the prisoner on the ground, cupped his hands, and said, "This thief probably has the appearance of a fourth-level Qi Refining Realm. Judging from his appearance, he should be a casual cultivator."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~" The man's eyes were terrified, his mouth was gagged, and his whole body was tied up. He could only wriggle as hard as he could to attract Wang Shouzhe's attention.
"Listen to what he said." Wang Shouzhe ordered.
"Yes, Patriarch." Wang Zhong took the rag from his mouth.
"This young master, no, my lord." The middle-aged man with a slightly wretched appearance immediately begged for mercy, "The little one just passed by Guibao Land and did not commit any crime. Please let me go. Some dry gold and a book of basalt martial arts can be regarded as the life money of a villain."
"Whether you have committed a crime or not, it doesn't matter if you say it yourself." Wang Shouzhe gestured to Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong quickly searched him, and found that this person had 5 thousand gold, 17 large copper, and 56 dime in total, and there was nothing valuable in his bag, except for a dilapidated book of basalt martial arts.
"Xiao Zhoutian Blood Carrying Method".
Wang Shouzhe frowned as he flipped through the book. This is an ordinary practice book. There is a collection in the inheritance of the Wang family, which is used to lay the foundation for the Ding family's early cultivation, and there are obviously several mistakes and omissions in this exercise.
However, it is generally considered to be in the state of a down and out casual cultivator. Casual cultivators pay the most attention to improving their cultivation, and they will buy cultivation resources whenever they get some money.
"How did you get injured?" Wang Shouzhe saw that there was obviously a deep knife wound on his shoulder.
"The villain met a robber." The Sanxiu said honestly, "I fled to the woods in a panic. I just wanted to clean up my wound when I bumped into my lord."
"Lie, this is the junction of Shanyang's Gongsun clan and Yingxiu's Lu clan, which robber has the guts to commit a crime here?" Wang Zhong angrily scolded, "Be honest, or I will cut off your head with one knife."
"My lord, my lord, I am wronged." Loose Cultivator screamed, "Those robbers are all pretending to be traveling merchants, and they usually bully passers-by Loose Cultivators, how dare they attack a Xuanwu family like your lord."
"Sounds very reasonable." Wang Shouzhe said unmoved, "Bring him to Yingxiu and ask Mrs. Lu to investigate the situation. If what you said is true, it is not a criminal. You will return everything and release you." gone."
The Xuanwu family more or less has its own rules of conduct, let alone a few dry gold on him. Even if there are dozens, hundreds of dry gold or even more, it is impossible for Wang Shouzhe to rob him at will for immediate benefit, or even kill him to silence him.
This is a matter of family tradition and family education. Once this is done, a huge hidden danger will be planted in the family tradition. What will the generals and clan members involved in this matter think? Will it form a bloody and cruel bandit thinking? Will the three views be distorted
Then the next time you encounter a similar situation, killing people and looting money will be a logical thing
Such a family or force that puts interests first and can do evil, can be rampant for a while, and it will never be rampant for a lifetime.
Any Xuanwu family that can be passed on for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years or thousands of years, must have good family education and family traditions, have a high reputation and reputation with high gold content, and the clan members must also have strict codes of conduct and style concepts.
But as soon as Wang Shouzhe said this, the rogue cultivator turned pale and screamed: "My lord, I was wrong, please don't take me to Yingxiu. Please, I have something hidden. You let me go, it's all yours."
