Chapter 10 Two Staffs Flying in the Sky
The sky is filled with yellow clouds and the remaining glow in the west.
The twilight in Pingyang City is unique, but the people in Dongchang are not in the mood to watch it.
"You are saying that there may have been something wrong with Laosi's group. The Pingyang Medical Center that he was supposed to be in charge of is now in the hands of an unknown person whose martial arts skills are still superior to yours. ?”
Mao Zongxian, the third-ranked man, is sitting at the table. He has a plump forehead, fleshy cheeks, and sharp jaw. He looks majestic, but always has a bit of evil energy.
"Obviously we in Dongchang are the hunters, but we didn't expect that once we entered this city, the situation became unclear."
A middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance was also sitting here, rubbing his wrist bones with medicated oil. He said: "If these traitors hadn't had such ability, they wouldn't have asked the governor to go to war and set up such a trap."
"I think the people who attacked the governor's camp, scattered the horses, and kidnapped the Yu family's children are also people from the Pingyang Medical Center today. They may even be three groups of people. They may not be familiar with each other, but they are the same. Yes, they are all going against our Dongchang in this matter, and they are all traitors."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Tian, the fifth gear boss, slapped the table.
“In this case, let’s concentrate our efforts and destroy one of them first!”
These words were very strong, but made the scholar shake his head.
"The details of the people at Pingyang Medical Center are very unclear, and it is difficult to find out exactly how many people there are, but if they can deal with Xiaochuan and the others, they should not be underestimated. And the one who kidnapped the children of the Yu family This group of people has fought with you two more than once along the way. They are also powerful enemies."
"We want to destroy one of them, but not all of them. Be sure, they may be taken advantage of by another group of people."
Mao Zongxian also nodded and said: "We don't need to fight them head-on. We just need to drag them in the city and wait for the governor's large force. Once they arrive, I don’t have to worry about them being able to turn the world upside down.”
The scholar asked, “How are you doing there?”
Mao Zongxian said: "My subordinates have marked all the shops in the city that can sell a large amount of dry food and purified water, found those who sell camels, and drugged those camels."
The scholar nodded: "Okay, then even if they want to leave, they can't change easily. They have to make their horses strong enough, which will be enough to delay them for a while."
"When they are ready to leave, we Raid them again They don't want to hurt people, but only want to hurt horses. As soon as they succeed, they will retreat and fight with them."
Cao Tian said: "If you force them into a hurry, can't they carry food and water by themselves? "
The scholar smiled: "So we have to do things in a measured way, step by step, and we can't push them too hard at once. No one is willing to go into the desert on their own unless it is absolutely necessary. "
Mao Zongxian hesitated and said: "I still feel a little uneasy. Someone can hold back the governor, and someone can go to Pingyang City in advance to occupy the medical center. These are things we can't think of."
"Then. Will this group of people in the city have some tricks that we didn’t expect?”
The scholar hissed, stroking his beard and thinking deeply, and remained silent for a long time.
Cao Tian was a little unhappy and deliberately found trouble: "You have to follow us all the way, acting as a back-up, not contributing, wearing a mask, forget it, now everyone will get along, what's wrong with this mask? Are you still wearing it?”
The scholar didn’t get angry, and stretched out his hand to rub the side of his face. After a while, he took off a layer of human skin mask from his face, revealing a face that was more than ten years older and even thinner. face.
This person is none other than Jia Ting, the second stall keeper of Dongchang. If he had used this face in the medical clinic at that time, Dora would have recognized him at a glance.
“We should be more careful.”
Jia Ting made a decision, “Let’s take out all the money we have and use it as a deposit, and then invite a group of people to help.”< br>
Mao Zongxian wondered: "Is there anyone else available around here?"
"Haha, you are a bit young after all, and some things are not so clear."
Jia Ting was quite proud of himself, "At that time, when I led people to follow you, I didn't just wait and watch the show every day. I also had a heavy responsibility. I had to be aware of the movements in all directions and be ready to respond to you at any time."< br>
"That's why I found an acquaintance."
More than ten years ago, there was a killer organization known as "Black Stone", which was known as the number one killer organization in the world. It had many eyes and ears, hands and eyes that reached the sky, and was very powerful. , all over the north and south of the Yangtze River.
At that time, even the ministers of the DPRK and China, many people had unclear relationships with the "Black Stone" and often sent money to the "Black Stone".
However, those people who work in the north are often restrained when the emperor is at his feet, and they hide with their faces when they act. However, those in charge of business in the south of the Yangtze River act more arrogantly.
The number one master assigned by "Black Stone" in the south is known as the flying dragon. His sword skills are extremely fast. He never hides his face when killing people. He always rushes through the streets on a galloping horse.
Later, the "Black Stone" headquarters in the capital collapsed and the old leader died.
Feilong had too many enemies, and without the support of the relationships behind the organization, he was wanted by the Jiangnan government and the underworld. He had no choice but to disappear, fled to the northwest border, and became a horse bandit.
Their group should have been around Gaohe County. After all, there was still some oil and water there. Going west, there was nothing much they could rob.
But the recent approach of the Dongchang brigade aroused their vigilance, and they took the initiative to flee westward.
"Before I joined you, I found traces of the horse bandits several times."
Jia Ting said, "They are now hiding in the valley not far southeast of Pingyang City. As long as you bring enough money and our identity as Dongchang, it shouldn't be difficult to ask Feilong to help." Cao Tian had also heard about Feilong's reputation when he was young, and had no objection to it. He just said: "It's just a deposit. There is no need to empty our own pockets. Let's let our subordinates chip in. When the matter is completed, we will all You can let him receive the silver reward from the court.”
That’s how it was decided.
Jia Ting asked three of his confidants to take the money and go out of the city before dark.
They roughly knew that Yu Qian's old troops were entrenched near the North City Gate, so they deliberately let these three people go out from the South City Gate.
After all, the number of Yu Qian’s old troops was not as large as that of Dongchang. After days of hard work and hard work, they would certainly not be able to take care of the whole city.
This is indeed the case.
Yu Qian’s old department was unaware of this incident.
At nightfall, they gathered firewood to make a fire, hung up a few pots in the abandoned backyard of the General Temple, heated some hot water, and roasted a few bunches of dry food by the fire.
In one of the smaller pots, some salt and chopped wild vegetables were put in it. After boiling, a few pancakes were thrown in to make a paste of wild vegetables.
“Come.”
The young man in a bamboo hat handed Yu Mian a bowl of paste and asked him to feed his little brother.
Yu Qian has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Yu Mian is already an adult, the second daughter Yu Xin is thirteen years old, and the youngest son Yu Kang is only ten years old.
The young man in the bamboo hat also filled a bowl of paste and walked to Yu Xin's side.
The person supporting Yu Xin was a thin middle-aged man named Tie Zhu, whose eyes were full of worry: "Our gold trauma medicine is almost used up, and you didn't get the medicine back. What should we do with this girl's injury in the future?"
When they were fighting Dongchang Fanzi, they had a sleeve arrow and almost hit Yu Kang.
Yu Xin, at such a young age, was actually very quick-sighted and managed to knock his brother away, but he was hit by the arrow in his left shoulder.
She was still young, but the arrow penetrated deeply. The young man in a bamboo hat and others did not dare to pull out the arrow rashly, so they had to break the arrow shaft, apply medicine on her, and fix it with a bandage, hoping to wait until a doctor could be found.
The young man in the bamboo hat looked at the little girl with chapped lips and difficulty in opening her eyes. He sighed and fed her the wild vegetable paste with a wooden spoon.
"Although the man in the medical center is weird, after thinking about it afterwards, I think he is not from Dongchang."
The young man in the bamboo hat said, "The situation was complicated at the time. We were shocked by his skill and retreated too quickly. , I’ll go and have a look tomorrow.”
The short-bearded man was named Zhu Ji. He grew up in the army and had a rough temper. He shouted: “Big man. If you don't want to forcefully grab them, I'll hold them back while you go get the medicine."
"No! Brother, don't go tomorrow."
The young man in the hat is named Zhu Hui. Although he is young, But he was already the backbone of this group, and he could not refuse and said, "You have a brave temperament, so it's better to stay here and look after each other with everyone."
"I will go alone and adapt to the situation. If something goes wrong, I will be better at escaping than you."
Suddenly, the two men on guard on the courtyard wall turned around and waved their knives at them.
Everyone immediately fell silent and touched their weapons with their hands.
The night is dark, and there are not many stars in the sky, but there is a cold moon shining high in the sky.
No one lives near the abandoned temple, not even the sound of insects.
These Yu Qian's old troops could only hear the sound of firewood crackling nearby and the sound of water boiling in the pot.
But soon, those with the best ears heard the sound of wooden sticks hitting the ground.
Zhu Huiyi was a brave man. He held the sword with his left hand and touched the dart bag with his right hand. With a slight movement, he went up to the courtyard wall, but was startled by what she saw.
Two people came on the street behind the temple.
One of them was carrying a large sack, bulging and heavy, but his steps were brisk, so that was all.
The most striking thing is another person, who seems to be sitting cross-legged in mid-air, with the hem of his clothes hanging down, covering his legs, and walking with only two crutches.
It’s really a “point” place.
The crutch, about four feet long, was lightly "pointed" and stroked on the ground, and then the whole person moved flatly out a foot away.
The flowing rhythm makes people feel that the person is not moving on land, but like sitting on a boat, shaking the oar leisurely.
This skill is so stable that it makes one’s heart tremble.
