Chapter 319 Meeting a Robber on the Road(1/3)
On the deserted official road, there is no end in sight.
On both sides of the road, trees and grass are gradually withering, showing signs of decline.
In the autumn season, there are already some faint traces of winter.
The north wind blows fiercely and comes towards you.
Withered old trees, with yellowed leaves falling, were piled up beside the official road, densely packed and several layers thick.
This official road heading north now lacks the bustling atmosphere of the past.
The weather in Zhongzhou has become increasingly cold.
The further north you go, the cooler the temperature is.
The silence between heaven and earth gives people a sense of desolation and loneliness.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
Not long after, several tall horses appeared on the official road and were galloping towards them.
Immediately, several figures also appeared in sight.
After a while, several people slowed down and gradually stopped.
"Leader, we are less than fifty miles away from the capital. If we hurry up, we can arrive tonight!"
Standing on horseback in the crowd, the person speaking was clearly Yang Yu.
And beside Yang Yu, the figure in green clothes is naturally... Li Suyi.
At this moment, Li Suyi was sitting on the horseback, looking into the distance.
There is no end as far as the eye can see.
The surroundings were desolate, with not a single figure around.
She slightly noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly: "Why is there no one?"
Although the official road is deserted all year round, it is an important road to the capital after all. They came all the way, but did not meet many people along the way.
Especially here, the thick dead leaves on the ground cover the land. Apparently no one has passed by for a long time, and there are no traces of caravans passing by... This is really a bit abnormal.
"Leader, you don't know something..."
Yang Yu on the side explained: "Not long ago, we just received information from the capital. Just a few months ago, a rebellion occurred not far from here..."
"Rebellion?"
"Although the rebellion was quickly suppressed by the imperial court, hundreds of people died in the rebellion, and many caravans along the way were implicated... To this day, the main people who rebelled against the party have not been arrested. There are often still people who rebelled against the party.
There are rumors that the rebels are still hiding here, and many people have been killed...This incident has made people panic. Therefore, other caravans basically choose to take a detour to avoid this official road..."
Li Suyi's expression was calm, and there was not much emotion on her face.
"Investigate who is responsible for the rebellion!"
She squinted her eyes slightly.
"yes!"
Yang Yu nodded.
As the owner of the branch of Ruyi Building in Chaoyang County, she followed the alliance leader to the capital this time.
Not just her, but all the Ruyilou disciples in the entire Ruyilou area, excluding those intelligence agents who had ambushed them in the early years, most of the other disciples had secretly left Chaoyang County long ago.
Each of them has their own mission!
"Leader...should we rush there overnight, or..."
At this time, Yang Yu asked again.
"Let's travel all night!"
Li Suyi looked forward with deep eyes: "Lest the night be long and the dream be full of dreams!"
"yes!"
"..."
On the long official road, several figures of horses galloped past.
Somewhere near the grass in a valley.
At this moment, several figures were lurking around.
Not long after, a man came running quickly.
"Someone is coming!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone ambushing around were suddenly shocked!
One of the men, who had an obvious scar from a knife on his face, suddenly showed a sinister look on his face: "Damn it, I've been squatting for several days, and finally someone came... This time, I was full of energy, and I will
If you stop anyone, don't let anyone go!"
"yes!"
In the surrounding grass, there were more than a dozen burly men lurking in ambush.
These people have been hungry for several days, and their eyes are turning green at this time.
These people are all members of the rebel party some time ago.
Most of these people were originally bandits, and some were farmers in remote villages.
In the past few years, Qin Tiansi has been suppressing them vigorously, and the bandits and bandits have been unable to survive. Therefore, together with these people, they simply stopped doing one thing and the other, and just turned the other way!
Rebellions occur every year, and their group is no exception!
But what they didn't expect was that the imperial army's extermination army would come so quickly.
Before they could recover, they were instantly crushed by Qin Tiansi, and almost their entire army was wiped out.
The rest of them fled in all directions, and the boss ran away first, so they could no longer make any waves.
Although the people ran away, Qin Tiansi had no intention of letting them go.
These days they are hiding in Tibet, avoiding Qin Tiansi's capture, and at the same time they have to find ways to feed everyone.
They have no choice but to find ways to rob houses along the way. As long as they can hijack a caravan, they can make a fortune, and then use the money to change places and make a comeback.
They squatted here for several days, but only a few people squatted there, and they were just a few poor scholars, with no oil or water on them.
No, we finally saw someone squatting again today.
"How many people?"
"Five people!"
"Are you sure five?"
"Five, and they all seem to be women!"
"woman?!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those in ambush around him all lit up!
They had been hiding here and there for several months, barely having enough to eat, let alone seeing women.
I have never seen a sow!
At this time, when they heard the woman, their eyes lit up.
Isn't this...a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
"Are you sure they are all women?" Scarface, the leader, gritted his teeth.
"Yes, they are all women, and... they are very beautiful!"
The person who came back from inquiring at the front insisted: "However, they don't seem to be easy to mess with... They look like heroines from the world..."
"Heroine?"
There was a sneer on Scarface's face, and he slapped his thigh: "I am arresting the heroine, no matter who she is, if she falls into my hands today, I will kill you..."
Seeing this, the rest of the people also had cruel smiles on their faces.
"Cheer up and get ready to freeze your hands. If anyone dares to ruin my good deeds later, I will kill them!"
Scarface spoke fiercely.
The rest of the people trembled all over and cheered up.
They were living in exile, licking blood from their swords, so they were naturally extremely cautious.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was approaching!
Coming!
Everyone trembled and held their breath.
To be continued...
