Chapter 105 104. Grass Bandit
Chapter 105 104. Grass Bandit
The outside of the tea shed was pattering, and the sound of bean-sized raindrops hitting the tea shed was very dense. Liu Jin wiped the rain on his face with his sleeve.
The further south you go, the hotter it gets, but it's the beginning of spring and there's a lot of rain.
Liu Jin shuddered, the rain fell suddenly, and his clothes were soaked without any preparation.
They are still in a place where there is no village or shop behind. Fortunately, they opened a tea shed here, and they can still take shelter from the rain.
"Masters, would you like some hot tea?" the owner of the tea stall asked holding a pot.
Liu Jin is actually not thirsty, but he is afraid that if he takes shelter from the rain and does not drink tea, he will be kicked out by the boss.
But before he spoke, Xu Zhao said, "I heard that the mountain is not peaceful, the boss spreads out the tea here, and no one asks you to collect offerings?"
The eyes of some thin little bosses flashed: "Of course there are. Fortunately, there is no back and forth here. There are many people drinking tea and resting their feet. The king in the mountain will make offerings as scheduled, so it is not difficult for the little ones."
After he finished speaking, Liu Jin asked in a low voice: "What is an offering?"
Xu Zhao explained to him: "There are many wild beasts in the barren mountains, and there are grass bandits. The offering is the filial money given to them. After paying the money, they will not come to trouble, and they can take care of them when they encounter trouble."
Liu Jin was a little surprised that there was such a thing. Could it be that the grass bandits in the mountains are so blatant?
Xu Zhao seemed to see his doubts, so he said: "The world is so big, there are always places that the imperial court cannot control, and such places will form a small imperial court."
"Isn't that conspiracy..." Liu Jin opened his eyes wide.
Xu Zhao pinched his lips and said, "Young master, treason is only something that people in the court do."
Liu Jin disagreed with his words: "There is no such thing as Bai Ding's rebellion and proclaiming himself emperor in history."
"Hehe, that's called uprising, not rebellion." Xu Zhao said again.
"You said both the pros and cons." Liu Jin said unhappy.
Xu Zhao smiled: "You just look at the issue from your own standpoint, so you naturally feel that this is no different. After all, in terms of status, officials are supporters of the imperial court, and anyone who violates the court's laws is naturally treason."
Liu Jin stopped talking to him. At this time, a young and beautiful woman came out of the small shed covered by straw curtains at the tea stand, who seemed to be the proprietress.
When Xu Zhao saw her, he put away his smile and became vigilant.
The proprietress came over with a smile and said, "What a handsome brother, this one with thin skin and tender meat must come from the capital."
She looked at Liu Jin and said, Liu Jin nodded without thinking, and felt that the proprietress was observing carefully.
The proprietress refilled them with tea and said to Liu Jin, "If I'm not married yet, I will definitely recruit my younger brother as my son-in-law."
There is no rule in what you said, but there are no rules in this mountain. Except for Liu Jin who blushed, the others are not surprised, even the boss doesn't look angry at all.
The proprietress winked at Liu Jin and went to boil water. Liu Jin was about to drink tea, but Xu Zhao held down the teacup and said, "You drank a lot, and you have to relieve yourself all the way."
"I'll finish this cup." Liu Jin said dissatisfied.
Xu Zhao frowned, always feeling that something was wrong with the tea stand, and after the rain subsided, they put on their coir raincoats and continued on their way.
After they left, the proprietress came out: "I've taken a fancy to that little brother, and I'll save his life for a while tonight's bridal chamber."
The boss lost his amiable look, cursed "Sexy bitch" and said: "Except for that young man, I don't think anyone else touched their tea."
"As expected, fortunately, my little brother didn't waste my ecstasy water. I am blessed tonight." The proprietress gnawed her finger.
The boss gave her a disgusted look, and the two drew out their swords, and after sending a signal, they rode off on horseback.
When Liu Jin and Xu Zhao left the capital, they didn't send many people to them. Now besides the two, there are only four guards. It is said that there are local people at their disposal.
The rain slowed down for a while and then started to get heavier. Liu Jin was shivering from the cold. Seeing this, Xu Zhao said, "Before it gets dark tonight, we must rush to the next town."
"But..." Liu Jin felt that the road ahead was boundless, and it was too difficult to travel in such a heavy rain.
Xu Zhao: "Come on, this is not a comfortable nest in the capital."
If you don't rush to the next town, there may be changes at night.
However, before nightfall, a change occurred. First, a few hidden arrows were shot over, and the two guards were not shot very well. Then, a group of grassroots bandits appeared.
"How many of you have passed this mountain road without inquiring about it?" A burly man stood up and said.
Liu Jin shouted frightened: "I am the official of the court, if you don't want to cause trouble, get out of the way."
"Oh, my little brother is really fierce." A somewhat familiar voice appeared around, and Liu Jin took a closer look, and it turned out to be the proprietress of the tea stall.
"I just said they don't look like good people." Xu Zhao drew out his sword.
Liu Jin was shocked. Before he recovered, he felt his body go limp and fell off the horse.
Startled, Xu Zhao stretched out his hand to grab him, and brought him back to his horse.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhao asked.
Liu Jin: "I feel uncomfortable."
Xu Zhao frowned, looked at the gangsters and said, "If you don't know what's good and what's wrong, and hurt my lord, then the imperial court will send troops to trample down your mountain."
"Hahahahaha." The grass bandits all laughed.
The proprietress said: "You are so young, I am afraid that you are a big fart Zhima official, the imperial court will not work too hard for you."
Xu Zhao was speechless, Liu Jin's ostentation was indeed a little less, if he had known earlier, he would have brought more people out.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, but Xu Zhao didn't panic. A group of gangsters stopped him, and he sent them to see the King of Hades.
In the next moment, the cold soldier walked through the rain, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Jin's consciousness became fuzzy, the rain hit his face felt cold, but for some reason, he just felt refreshed, as if a fire had ignited inside his body, burning him to ashes.
The fighting scene in front of him also changed very slowly. He saw the blood and rain mixed together, and he didn't know when it became quiet.
The horse started running again, and the sky seemed to be getting darker, Liu Jin muttered in a low voice uncomfortablely.
Xu Zhao tied the wound on his arm with a cold face, and then supported Liu Jin to knock on the door of a farmhouse.
"You..." the old man in the farmhouse said strangely.
Xu Zhao directly took out a piece of silver: "We will stay for one night."
The old man had never seen so much money before, so he let go of the door, but after entering the door, Xu Zhao put down Liu Jin, turned around and touched the old man's sleeping point.
He entered the house again, and there were only the old couple in the whole farmhouse, and the old woman was also put to bed.
It's not Xu Zhao's white-eyed wolf, it's because he can't trust the people here.
Picking up Liu Jin, Xu Zhao entered the room. The room was quite clean. When he was putting him on the bed to boil water, Liu Jin put his arms around his neck: "Xu Zhao...I feel bad..."
