Chapter 19: Dragon and Tiger Combined, War Horse and Bandit One
As soon as Shi Jin stepped onto the ground in Yuncheng County, he simply ordered the twenty light cavalry to follow them slowly, then he got on his horse and rode straight towards Shuangfeng Town.
This curly-haired lion beast is indeed a good horse. It can run as fast as the wind, but it is as smooth as walking on flat ground. Shi Jin rides on it, and it is comfortable and tight. As time goes by, the illusion of riding a curly-haired lion beast for the first time gradually begins. Something happened on Shi Jin's body. Shi Jin looked at it for a long time, and it seemed as if he had not moved at all, but the scenery on both sides of the official road turned into a group of shadows and flew backwards. This feeling of riding the wind, Shi Jin felt so comfortable all over his body that he couldn't help but think to himself: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will buy a unique horse."
Shi Jin loosened the reins, whipped his horse faster, and let the curly-haired lion beast spread its hooves and run wildly. The curly-haired lion beast seemed to have never run with all the joy since he went to Liangshan. This time when he came out, it seemed like he was rushing out of the door. Shi Jin was more or less aware of the excitement of a child who was in a hurry to play around.
Just like that, one person and one horse drove away on the official road, and in a blink of an eye, they lost all traces of the twenty Qingqi who were following behind. Without enough time for a meal, Shi Jin galloped into a field that was getting farther and farther. He knew he was almost there in the desolate area, but it wasn't until he saw a former official boundary monument on a desolate hill. Shi Jin tightened the reins, and the horse stopped with a long neigh, and a cloud of dust stirred by the horse's hooves floated. After that, Shi Jin took a closer look. When the three big cinnabar characters of "Shuangfeng Town" were clearly written on it, Shi Jin couldn't help sighing again, and then he reluctantly believed that he had actually arrived just like that. .
Shi Jin glanced at Shuangfeng Town from afar. The setting sun was so bright that everything was a dazzling scarlet. Shi Jin couldn't help but feel nervous and thought to himself: If there hadn't been an urgent report from his informants, I'm afraid that tonight, Shuangfeng Town would be dyed red. Yes, it's not just the sunset.
Shi Jin rode his horse slowly and came to the gatehouse of Shuangfeng Town. On the wooden archway, there were three strong and powerful characters "Shuangfeng Town" written horizontally. The characters were mottled, which was obviously lost after the years. The color of the past was gone. Shi Jin raised his head and then lowered his gaze. The street connected to the town gate was empty and there was no one. Shi Jin couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that he came too late? Already.
Shi Jin turned over and jumped off the horse, holding the curly lion beast, and walked forward as quietly as possible step by step. The shop doors along the way were all closed tightly. There were no signs of smashing, and there were no blood spots from the massacre. Shi Jin Wei Wei feels relieved, thinking that people in Twin Peaks Town must be alert.
Shi Jin walked not far forward and saw a hotel at an intersection with the door still half open. Shi Jin looked at it, then stepped closer and tied the curly lion beast to the horse post in front of the store. Then he stepped into the hotel.
Shi Jin stood at the door and looked at the many men sitting in the hotel, but all of them were dejected and looked like they had lost all fighting spirit. However, among them there was a man who was completely different from the depressed aura of this group of people. , Shi Jin took a closer look, who could that person be if he wasn't Lei Heng? Shi Jin remained silent, but looking at him made him raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Shi Jin stretched out his hand and knocked on the door three times, making everyone in the room suddenly startled.
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the door. Lei Heng frowned and took a closer look. He couldn't help being surprised, and then said: "Prince... Young Master, how did you get here?"
Wang Gongzi is Shi Jin's always code name in front of strangers. There are so many outsiders sitting here this time. It is inconvenient to reveal their real names to avoid causing other troubles. Therefore, Lei Heng is very smart and uses the code name Wang Gongzi. .
Shi Jin walked across the threshold of the hotel with a smile, came to Lei Heng's table, and said, "I heard that there is a lively event tonight, so I came to have fun with my brothers."
"The news about Prince Wang's good health," Lei Heng was overjoyed when he heard the news. The Three Eyes are coming tonight, but with Shi Jin here, the chance of winning is more than 10%. At that moment, he said happily: "With Prince Wang here, this A lively scene is truly lively,”
"Although I came here uninvited, brother Lei Heng should still treat me to a nice drink and fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
After hearing this, Lei Heng smiled happily, waved to the owner of the hotel and said: "Boss, there is some good wine in the hotel. Bring a jar. We can tell you how much money it costs." After saying this, Lei Heng did not forget to fill in a sentence. , and expressed his joy by saying: "With my brother here, Shuangfeng Town will be saved."
The hotel owner was a little puzzled at first. The strongman was about to kill him. Not only was the boss not in a hurry, he was still thinking about drinking with his old friends. His spirit was lazy, so his movements were lazier, and he waited. Lei Heng had no intention of standing up after saying the first sentence. However, after hearing the last sentence of Lei Heng's words, he felt as if he had come back to life. His eyes suddenly became energetic, and he stood up suddenly. Like everyone else, he looked at the newcomer in surprise, and asked with some disbelief: "Seriously...seriously,"
"Why not," Lei Heng said: "My brother is very capable, let alone three eyes, even if there are four eyes or five eyes, he will not be able to escape his blade alive."
"Okay, okay, okay," the shopkeeper said, "As long as you can save Shuangfeng Town and save us defenseless people, I won't charge you any money from now on if you come here to drink every day."
"Shopkeeper, don't talk nonsense. I really don't charge you any money. Don't feel bad when the time comes," Shi Jin looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper stood up and went to the back. As he walked, the shopkeeper's affirmative voice came, "I don't feel bad. If you, a young man like you, can really protect Shuangfeng Town, I will give up this hotel, but there are Why not, but I'm afraid that if I don't survive it, I'll suffer a disaster, and both the people and the store will be destroyed by the knife of the horse bandits," the shopkeeper said, and soon after, the waiter from behind took out two jars of wine and said : "I, Mazhuang Jiu, always keep my word. I have always kept this wine in my store. It is very good here. I originally planned to drink it on my sixtieth birthday if I was lucky enough to live to be sixty. Take it out to show off and enjoy it. If you don't live to be sixty, you can use it to contribute to the funeral. However, if a strong man can protect the people of Shuangfeng Town from being massacred, Mazhuang Jiuwo will be worth the wine. "
Shi Jin heard the shopkeeper place his hopes on him again and again, and immediately stood up and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I came here just to wipe out the Three Eyes group. I'm not exaggerating. As long as those three eyes dare to come, I will definitely make them come back and never return,"
"If that's the case, I can't thank you enough." Mr. Lei stood up at this time and saluted Shi Jin with a fist in his arms, and said, "But, dare I ask if the warrior is here alone?"
"It's enough for me alone, but in order to protect the people, I brought twenty first-class experts," Shi Jin said deliberately.
Ma Zhuangjiu felt as if he had encountered a great good thing. He walked outside the door and took a look. There was only a tall horse outside the door.
Ma Zhuangjiu turned around and said, "Why haven't I seen any trace of them? Oh, I know. They must be guarding outside the town, waiter, waiter,"
"Shopkeeper, your orders," the waiter stood up and came to his side.
Ma Zhuangjiu said: "Quickly, you and your mistress carry a jar of wine to the gate of the town to reward them."
"The shopkeeper is not bothering you. They are not outside the town at the moment," Shi Jin said.
Ma Zhuangjiu's slightly disappointed look flashed across his face, but he quickly comforted himself: "Oh, I know, I must have set up an ambush to kill the Ma bandits, right? ,"
After hearing this, Shi Jin really didn't want to spoil his interest, but the fact was not like that. At that moment, Shi Jin shook his head and told the truth: "To be honest, I came in a hurry and left them behind. Now, ,I don’t know where they went,”
"Ah," everyone was shocked in disbelief. They never expected that they would get such a reply.
Before the battle even started, the men and horses he led were separated. What kind of thing was this? He couldn't even bring all the men, so how could he protect Shuangfeng Town in such a critical battle?
When the shopkeeper thought of this, the hope that had just been ignited was mostly extinguished. He staggered back two steps and sat back down to his original place.
Lei Sanye was also a little disappointed when he heard this. Seeing that Shi Jin was still young, he felt that this guy with a hairless mouth was too conceited and not very capable, so he immediately said: "Since there are no helpers, you are here alone, but you have What's the use?"
Lei Heng could hear the meaning of Mr. Lei Lei's words, and immediately spoke for Shi Jin: "You guys are a lot of people, but what's the use? Don't let a dog's eye fail to recognize Mount Tai, let alone talk about it. My two brothers join forces, even if I just stamp my feet, Mount Tai will shake."
Lei San was not convinced at all, but seeing how powerful Lei Heng was, he didn't dare to refute at the moment. He just snorted, glanced away, and said nothing.
"You guy," Lei Heng pointed at Mr. Lei and shouted, "I'm all trying to save you, but you're so arrogant."
Seeing that Lei Heng was about to stand up, Shi Jin quickly stretched out his hand to pull Lei Heng back to the bench, opened the mud seal on the wine jar, sifted the wine for Lei Heng, and said, "Come on, come on, let's drink first. Don't argue with them,"
Lei Heng looked at Mr. Lei and snorted heavily, then sat down next to Shi Jin, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Fuck it."
Shi Jin smiled and also picked up the wine bowl. As soon as the two touched it, they drank. Shi Jin drank all the wine. He wiped it clean with his sleeve and praised: "Good wine."
"No, although our place is a bit desolate and there is nothing delicious, the taste of this wine is absolutely authentic and mellow." The shopkeeper felt proud when he mentioned the wine, but at the moment, he didn't know how to look at it. As the two of them drank, they really felt regretful.
