Chapter 114
Chapter 114
There were more than a dozen carriages in a row, and a hundred or so people were dressed cleanly. The leaders were a dozen or so young men, and the real force was only less than thirty knights and a dozen or so guards.
Moreover, the grunt of the carriage is very heavy, obviously there are a lot of goods on the carriage.
For bandits, robbers, and horse bandits of medium and upper scale, those dozens of strong horses are worth their votes.
The purpose of the scheming Lin Lan is for thieves of this size.
After all, how can someone who is going to be an emperor in the future not have some experience!
Normally, in this case, as long as An Guogong releases his identity, it is very likely that the danger can be saved, but this move was stopped by Lin Lan.
Not surprisingly, after learning that Niu Zheng was just a farm boy, the bandits were completely relieved.
When the talks failed, the two sides soon fought each other.
Unexpectedly, the passionate and impulsive Niu Zheng did not go ahead to fight the bandits, but took half of his friends back to Lin Lan's carriage, and organized the people around him to protect the carriage. Next, fight with the bandits.
The confident commander protected the carriage and the surrounding vulnerable groups airtightly.
Reassuring Duke An who was still a little panicked and worried in the carriage, he smiled, and Wrinkle Heng also stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.
Although the guys in Niujia Village in Wailang only had half of their staff, they took the guards and rangers with them, and miraculously and bravely cut down the number of bandits who seemed to be well-equipped by one-third from the very beginning.
When the number of bandits was halved, they realized that this group of people was not easy to mess with.
It's a pity that the meat in the mouth has been damaged so much, and it is too bad if it can't be eaten. After a few yells, it will become more powerful.
The gap in numbers was not so easy to make up. Gradually, the guards and rangers also suffered casualties, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
Just when our momentum was a little weak, Niu Zheng and the others who were on guard behind us moved.
They swung their spears through the air with one hand, which was absolutely fatal in one blow, and because of the concentration of horse thieves, they could often be skewered.
Even Qin Qing, who was a little scared in the carriage, was amazed by this magical skill.
With such a flick, the momentum returned immediately, the casualties were too great, and the leader of the horse bandits who hid in the distance watching the battle could only give up regretfully and prepared to retreat.
But just as he was about to give the order to retreat, he was yelled by the small bone in the air, and he crashed into the mountain directly, and fell into the two sides who were fighting. After being trampled by the horse a few times, he died with regret...
Because of this scene, the two sides who were red-eyed also paused for a short time.
The horse thief finally found out that something was wrong, he was persuaded, and prepared to retreat.
It's a pity that Niu Zheng doesn't intend to give them a chance to go back: "Leave a few alive, those who don't obey and resist will be wiped out!"
In the past six months of wandering... no, during the poor travel, he has deeply realized that if the tiger (wolf) returns to the mountain, the consequence may be the evil result of attracting a family of tigers (wolves).
This is true for beasts, let alone people?
With Xiaogu around, this group of people has no possibility of escaping at all, and soon surrendered, surrendered, and executed!
It wasn't until everything subsided that Niu Zheng puffed his face, put his head on the window of the carriage, and looked at Lin Lan who was dozing inside again: "Sister, why are you doing this?"
Lin Lan also thoroughly confirmed that Niu Zheng and the group of boys did not feel uncomfortable at all due to the sudden killing ring, and they began to doze off.
Rubbing his eyes: "I'm teaching you, the fastest and best way to get rich!"
Niu Zheng looked dissatisfied: "A robber?"
Lin Lan put her hands on Niu Zheng's forehead and face, checked his condition, and corrected his statement: "Wrong, it is to be a fat sheep that can resist! A fat sheep that can resist!"
Except for the slight sweat after the exercise, there is nothing wrong with it, and the eyes are very clear.
Do children in troubled times really mature faster?
In other words, he deserves to be the future emperor arranged by the plane!
Niu Zheng didn't stop him, but rubbed against Lin Lan's cold hand, rolled his eyes and concluded, "Sister, it's not bad at all! You just want me to go and take the bandit out of my den!"
The elder sister pinched his face solemnly, and calmly established the "correct" three views for the younger brother: "If there is a difference, there is a word called a teacher who is famous! Either we don't do it, or we must be a teacher of justice! As a How can a farmer with morality, ideals, ambitions, and ability let these lawless and insane scum harm the villagers, you should take responsibility! A man! Do you understand? Niu~zheng~ younger brother!"
Lin Lan, who had a bad taste, still mischievously made a "cow egg" mouth shape when calling his name.
Just after Xiao Bone pushed the leader of the horse bandits into the crowd to die, the plane immediately gave her a little merit point. She was able to do evil to the extent that even the plane gave her merits. It can be seen that these bandits are not good men and women.
Of course, Lin Lan would not have any qualms of conscience.
Niu Zheng, on the other hand, was so angry that Lin Lan's mouth was so angry that he almost puffed up his cheeks. In order not to compromise his prestige as the leader, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Successfully driving his younger brother away, Lin Lan laughed triumphantly: "Pfft..."
Of course, the younger brother who was not in a hurry to go to the distance exhorted loudly: "Brother, you have to know that you not only have a sick and weak sister to support, but also an old teacher and a delicate teacher! We are right You have high hopes!"
The boy who hadn't gone far paused, without turning his head, but there was a dissatisfied (happy) response: "Understood!"
Feeling relieved, Lin Lan turned her head and met the three pairs of unbelievable eyes in the carriage.
An Guogong was the quickest to react, and bowed his hands to Lin Lan: "The old man has been taught. He is indeed a famous teacher, a teacher of justice!"
No wonder Niu Zheng boy is so extraordinary, it turns out that you are the one who teaches well.
Zou Yan stroked his beard and shook his head and sighed: "I'm getting old, I can't keep up with the thoughts of young people, but it's also time for the old man to enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren."
If the old man can be a few years younger, he also wants to follow suit for a while.
It's nice to be young!
Qin Qing hesitated and said everyone's inferences: "Sister Lan, didn't you plan to use these to attract bandits and robbers when you first packed your luggage, and let Zheng'er and the others go...to eliminate violence and make peace?"
It's just that the expression is tangled, as if he doesn't accept it!
Lin Lan shook her head: "Didn't I say that I want them to experience the beauty of the rich and noble township? But let them know how the rich and noble come from! I can't support their 'rich and honor' alone, We can only let them be self-reliant! Moreover, this is also a good deed, so why not do it?"
Knowing that this kind-hearted teacher couldn't accept it, Lin Lan explained more conscientiously: "In troubled times, this is the only way to stand up. Now, sister Qin Qing knows why I want to reject Mr. Zou. Grandpa Wrinkle probably has the same relationship with me. The same, they are all like-minded people, so there are some things that only you can teach!"
The unfinished meaning in those words is that the old man who wrinkled everyone did not mean to be a law-abiding master.
Wrinkle Heng laughed quite proudly when he said it: "Hehe...it's a pity that I'm already old...just laugh at me!"
For a while, the atmosphere in the car became lively again.
The chess players were playing chess, chatting and laughing, completely ignoring the bloody and hectic battle just outside the car.
That night, An Guogong, Zouheng and Qin Qing couldn't fall asleep.
Because, Lin Lan sat in her special seat for the sculpture of the gods, together with Niu Zheng, and took people to Duan Bandit's Den.
Now they all unanimously changed their minds about Xiaogu, and they all called him Hey God Condor!
There is a strange life experience fabricated by Lin Lan for him: he was raised by an expert.
Also, he can understand people's words, understand human nature, and has a strong fighting power. They have clearly watched an actual battle where the Condor singled out the whole team. The ending was beyond their expectations. One of his wings was knocked down...
A group of people have gone to copy the copycats, it's a den of thieves, can you not worry about it!
Although they already knew their combat effectiveness, they were still worried.
They watched the starry sky all night in the tent they had set up, and the next day, they saw a group of people returning happily.
Seeing the extra carriages behind them, one knew that they had gained a lot.
Qin Qing hurriedly came out to greet her, and was relieved when she saw that none of her apprentices were missing, and none of them had missing arms or legs.
He hurriedly ordered the servant to bring out the breakfast he had prepared earlier: "Just come back, just come back... have breakfast first!"
But Lin Lan pointed to a group of women, children and children hanging from the tail behind the carriage, as well as a person on a stretcher, and said, "The ones rescued in the cottage are simply animals. Let's feed them first!"
Qin Qing discovered that there was a group of shivering women and children slowly following behind the team. Everyone was sallow and thin, especially many children, who were short of breath and looked sick.
Easily soft-hearted, she immediately asked for help to take care of her.
Lin Lan had also heard that in troubled times, there would really be cannibalism, and today she really saw a crime scene for the first time.
As for the culprit, it was the leader who gave her merit points, that bastard, who even preferred to boil young children, and the next one was a young woman at a young age!
Lin Lan really felt that it was too cheap for that beast to die so easily.
The main force had been wiped out long ago, and the cottage was full of a bunch of aides and oppressors, and it wasn't a good thing. They broke into the interior in no time, and when they saw the skeletons covered with tooth marks, they felt that it was a purgatory on earth.
Lin Lan, who was so angry, simply didn't let any one go, and wiped out all of them. After saving people, he prepared to burn them with fire.
But at this time, among the trembling women and children, a seriously injured girl stopped her voice: "Cut off their heads and send them to the government, at least it is worth a hundred gold! Especially the leader...cough cough... …That bastard who is good at using poison is worth fifty gold alone! Don’t miss it, benefactor!”
These words immediately opened the door to a new world for Lin Lan and the others.
Unfortunately, after the girl finished speaking, she fell into a coma.
With the help of this group of weak women and children, Lin Lan and others ransacked the entire cottage and returned with a full load. Of course, there were also a group of weak women and children, as well as a girl who was seriously injured by the women and children.
According to this group of governor's women, the girl was seriously injured by bandits in order to save them.
With such a group of people, the itinerary will of course be delayed.
After all, there are injuries and sick children, so of course they have to stop and recuperate.
This group of people was really very lucky. They met Lin Lan. If they met other people, they would definitely die together.
Almost everyone has more or less toxins on their body.
Especially the seriously injured girl, who had the heaviest toxin on her body, and a big hole was opened in her abdomen. Although the bleeding was barely stopped, the situation was not optimistic.
Lin Lan doesn't know how to heal people, but she can still do this kind of simple wound suture and anti-inflammatory.
She also knows a lot about using plant detoxification and detoxification formulas.
After some fuss, the brigade set off again. It was already four days later. Except for the seriously injured girl who was rescued alone and was still awake, everyone else was basically fine.
The wilderness, the poor conditions, are not suitable for recuperation, and there are still several days away from the next town. Lin Lan and the others subconsciously speed up without jolting the wounded.
It's just that the condition of the road is hard to describe. Although the girl has been moved to the carriage donated by Duke An, the speed has not increased much...
Only day and night.
Moreover, Lin Lan didn't know if it was because she was careless, but she always felt that her younger brother was always looking at the seriously injured girl inadvertently.
When the group of people arrived in the town in a hurry, they were caught off guard and ushered in a parting.
As soon as An Guogong arrived in the town, he received the news that King Qin was seriously ill, and he needed to go back quickly to take charge of the overall situation.
An Guogong was so anxious that he didn't want anything, so he tied his thousand-year-old ginseng and rode away.
Oh, this pitiful Mr. An also took away most of the rangers Lin Lan picked...
This is why Lin Lan cares.
In this town on the edge of Yanqi, after resting for more than ten days, the injured girl finally woke up.
The first thing he said after meeting Lin Lan and his brother was: "I'm still alive!"
Niu Zheng stared and retorted: "If you're not alive, then you're dead? We don't want to be treated like ghosts by you!"
The girl struggled to get out of bed to salute, but Qin Qing, who was sitting by the bed and took care of her, quickly held her down: "You just woke up, you still need to rest, you shouldn't make too many movements!"
Girl: "The kindness and kindness of the few can't be repaid for your kindness and virtue!"
But Niu Zheng said with disgust: "Shanrou, right? In your situation, you can't repay your kindness even if you want to. Let's heal your injury first!"
Lin Lan, who wanted to speak many times but had no chance: ...
My brother has grown up and likes to make up his own mind!
It's a little sad.
But this is also a good thing, it proves that my brother is getting more and more determined.
Lin Lan, who was entangled for less than a second, let go, but saw Qin Qing beside the bed, looking at Niu Zheng and Shanrou, and she secretly smiling.
Seeing Lin Lan's suspicious gaze, Qin Qing immediately stopped her snickering, and changed the subject solemnly: "Shanrou, do you have relatives you can rely on, do you need me to contact you?"
A look of sadness flashed across Shanrou's eyes: "I was originally an orphan, and was adopted by Master since I was a child. Now that Master is wandering in the clouds, Rou has nowhere to go."
After hearing this, Qin Qing didn't care to look at the ambiguity between the two boys and girls. His heart ached for the girl who felt lonely and went to the cottage to save others by virtue of her own ability.
I heard from the rescued young women that if it wasn't for a child who couldn't help the pain and cried when they wanted to leave secretly, they would have been rescued down the mountain by this clever girl.
Qin Qing said empathetically, "Madam Shanrou, would you mind temporarily traveling with us to Linzi, Qi State?"
As he spoke, he moistened it with silk cloth very smoothly, and carefully applied it to Shanrou's lips: "Don't worry, most of the women and children we rescued have been taken away by their relatives and clans. Some of those who had nowhere to return were also hired by our convoy and traveled with me and others."
Although Shanrou just woke up, before she woke up, her consciousness was still struggling.
In her sleep, she felt that there was a gentle person constantly wiping her body, especially her lips, with a soft silk cloth moistened with warm water.
After the wet and soft silk cloth, there will always be a sweet taste on her lips and teeth, which makes her nostalgic, almost unwilling to wake up.
As a killer, she has been injured quite a few times, but like this time, apart from the dull pain of the wound and a little tired body, she woke up with no other serious comfort, which was the first time.
Every time I woke up after the injury, my throat was thirsty and sore, and in severe cases, I had a headache and fever, so I had to find medicine by myself.
After Qin Qing's silk cloth passed, a burst of warm sweetness passed through the tongue from between the teeth, and flowed directly into the throat, which made Shanrou stunned for a while without reacting.
"Ah..." After Qin Qing finished, he realized what he had done, and said with a smile: "I even forgot that Shan Rou woke up, and there is no need to drink slowly like this. This is honey water, it is Xiao Lan. Made with honey and special medicinal materials, it is especially suitable for warming and nourishing the roots of injured people."
Niu Zheng snorted: "I found this specially in the mountains and forests, and poked a big beehive!"
Qin Qing smiled and replied: "Yes, yes, our political son is also a hero." Picking up the soup pool, he fed Shanrou a spoonful of honey water: "Miss Shanrou, what do you think?"
After drinking the sweet honey water again, Shan Rou pursed her lips with some nostalgia, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Qin Qing smiled and saw that the eyes of his apprentices were about to light up.
Looking at the well-behaved girl lying on the bed, she revealed a gentle and gratifying smile again.
Regarding the fact that there is one more person in the team, Lin Lan has no objection, as long as her younger brother has no objection.
What's more, her younger brother seemed to be very happy. Although she was puzzled, she didn't care anymore.
Not long after, when the real departure, Lin Lan knew why her younger brother was happy.
Because this Shanrou is really a great talent.
Qin Qing was originally from everyone, and Lin Lan was also used to local tyrants, so regarding the finances of the entire team...
That is really very casual!
The body of a martial arts practitioner is very strong, and Shan Rou is obviously a master, so after waking up, her body recovered very quickly, and within three days, she could already get out of bed and walk around at will.
Seeing Qin Qing and Lin Lan's extravagant spending, she couldn't help it, so she took over the shopping from them.
Qin Qing and Lin Lan silently said that this kind of persistent behavior of using ten rabbits to bargain with the store for more than half an hour in exchange for three feet of silk cloth and a basket of fresh fruits was impossible.
So, the purchase was handed over to her.
The reason why she is said to be a capable person is that she didn't spend a single coin, but only used some items that are not commonly used in the team, such as master wrinkle's essay draft book policy, Lin Lan's boring, herbal medicine that is about to expire, And Niu Zheng and the others exchanged all the leftovers and hides they needed for their convoy after they came back from hunting.
What's more, she even paid attention to buying and selling, and planned to sell the special products of Yan State to Qi State.
"Niu Zheng, do you know how much the price difference is between a complete white tiger skin and a white tiger skin with two holes in it, so you can't control your strength and hit the head directly? There is an extra hole for nothing. But let us lose the silk cloth of the half-carriage!"
"Niu Zheng, how many times have I told you that the medicine packs and sachets that Xiaolan made must not be given away lightly, do you know that a prescription or incense is priceless, and those aristocratic families are so smothered to death Damn, why are you so generous! Do you know that you gave away a house just by giving it away!"
Every day, Lin Lan could almost see Shanrou with a stern face, nagging at her younger brother who had a loveless expression.
When this situation is encountered by Lin Lan or Qin Qing, Shan Rou will always feel a little embarrassed.
Every time Lin Lan imitated the old man, giving her a gesture of admiration, and then dodged.
His younger brother, Niu Zheng, is definitely very satisfied with the Chief Financial Officer. Even though she keeps nagging him about it every day, he still goes to rob the beehive without any hesitation, and prepares her favorite honey water for the Chief Financial Officer.
You mean the jealousy of being a sister and master?
nonexistent!
Lin Lan likes this young lady who is strong but shy whenever she is in front of her.
Unfortunately, Shan Rou is indeed five years older than her and Niu Zheng.
Qin Qing guessed it was the same, he liked this kind girl very much, and he knew that she carefully prepared beautiful clothes for her when she had time.
I'm sorry, Lin Lan is too thin, and she wears nothing, so I can't provide her with inspiration like the well-developed Shan Rou.
What can be said very intimately is that since Shan Rou came, the life between her and Qin Qing has become much easier.
Now she can sleep (practice) most of the time every day, and Qin Qing also has more time to study how to give lectures to those bastards.
Hey, of course, Lin Lan and Qin Qing can still "squeeze out" some time to study (not doing business) what kind of spices and sachets to match, what kind of paint and color samples to make, what kind of soap and shower gel, etc. According to The treasurer said, very very very very valuable things.
In private, Lin Lan and Qin Qing were obviously lazy and having fun, and when they got the admiration in the eyes of this somewhat innocent chief financial officer, they still felt a little, uh... a little guilty.
However, there is no way, no matter who calls them, it seems that they are not talents in this area.
