Chapter 171 Two Tigers of Longquan Mountain Struggle
Returning to the inn at the city gate on the east bank of the river, Mingchuan Rongmei was still standing under a string of lanterns outside the inn door, waiting for the heroine to return. Dongfang Ying's footsteps were as light as a flying dragon's. She immediately looked happily towards the path leading to the riverside and shouted:
"Ying'er, are you back?"
Dongfang Ying Ying came from the darkness and appeared in front of Mingchuan Rongmei. She smiled and said: "Yes, I'm back. Rong'er, why aren't you in the house? What are you doing outside?" "
Mingchuan Rongmei held Dongfang Ying's arm tightly and said emotionally:
"I can't let go, I'm waiting for you here."
Dongfang Ying couldn't help but be moved, hugged her into his arms, and said softly:
"Don't worry about me, didn't I come back unscathed? Come on, I'll show you what I've gained tonight. , you will definitely be pleasantly surprised."
Mingchuan Rongmei smiled and said:
"Your safe return is my biggest surprise."
Dongfang Yingnie. After squeezing her pink cheeks, the two girls returned to the inn affectionately. After checking that the mules and horses in the stables were all normal, Lan Zhixin's master and servant also slept peacefully in the room, and then returned to the room where they lived. Room.
After closing the door, Dongfang Ying took off the package from her shoulders. Mingchuan Rongmei helped her untie the Zhanlu Sword and Zihong Sword together and hang them on the wooden hook on the wall.
Dongfang Ying loosened the twisted cloak and placed it on the table. She smiled at Mingchuan Ronmei and said:
"Ronger, look at what this is?"
p>
Mingchuan Rongmei took a closer look and immediately opened her mouth. She approached the table and grabbed a stack of banknotes, shook them and asked:
"This... how much money does this have?" Where did you get it?"
Dongfang Ying said proudly:
"Of course I got it from a corrupt official's house. If you don't take it, you won't get it!"
p>
"As for how many there are, why don't I bother Sister Ronger to count them."
Mingchuan Ronmei nodded with a smile. Although her family is also a wealthy man in Japan, she has been growing up since she was a child. There is no shortage of money, but since she followed Dongfang Ying, she can't spend her family's property, and she doesn't have much money.
Last time at Jinlin Manor, I wanted to blackmail Kishida Wenying out of a thousand taels of silver, but in the end, I couldn't get it because the two sides broke up. I had to borrow a hundred taels of silver from Nangong Huiyue to have the money to buy medicine. and expenses.
Today, she first got more than 10,000 taels of silver notes from the bandits on Zhanlu Mountain. Now that she saw ten times more silver notes, even though she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, her eyes lit up.
She enthusiastically separated the banknotes according to their denominations. One thousand taels, five hundred taels, two hundred taels, one hundred taels, and fifty taels were divided into five piles, and then she counted them.
When the last five piles were added together, the number turned out to be more than 115,000 taels. If the previous more than 10,000 taels were added, the two women now owned more than 120,000 taels of silver.
This huge number made Mingchuan Rongmei speechless. She asked Dongfang Ying:
"How many corrupt officials have you killed in this trip? There are too many sheep. Right?"
Dongfang Ying sighed and said:
"It's disgusting to say that so much ill-gotten wealth is just part of the two corrupt officials, the county magistrate and the county magistrate, who plundered the people's wealth. , I thought other gold and jewelry were too troublesome, so I didn’t take them.”
“If all the officials in the county followed suit, the amount would be even more terrifying.”
“ This dog court has so many dog officials, it is really difficult for the people!"
Mingchuan Rongmei asked with big eyes:
"Then how are you going to deal with these injustices? "
Dongfang Ying sat down on the chair and said thoughtfully;
"Originally, most of them should be distributed to the people of Songxi, but we don't have time to do these things at the moment. , we will keep it for the people first, and then give it back to them in a suitable way when we come back next time."
Mingchuan Rongmei nodded and said:
"Ying'er. You are truly worthy of the white horse and red scarf that the common people admire. I believe that if you do this, the common people will support you even more, and our Songyue Sword Sect will be able to truly take root in this area and grow stronger."
Dongfang Ying grabbed her soft little hand and said happily:
"Yes, our Songyue Sword Sect will definitely flourish! This is ours, mine, and yours "
Mingchuan Rongmei chuckled:
"What about Yue'er? "
Dongfang Ying said sternly:
p>"Of course, not only Yue'er has a share, but also Sister Wu, Sister Li, Sister Guo, and every brother and sister who participated in the founding of the gang."
Mingchuan Rongmei smiled Said:
"I know, I'm just teasing you, why are you so serious!"
"Then let me put all these banknotes away first. It's getting late, You wash up, let's take a rest now."
Dongfang Ying said hello, rinsed her mouth with water and washed her face, but she heard Mingchuan Rongmei say:
" It’s really hard to put down so many banknotes. When I arrive in Zhejiang tomorrow, I will need to buy another memorandum bag to use it.”
Dongfang Ying also thought about her two swords, although Zhanlu Sword. It can be attached tightly to the scabbard of the Purple Rainbow Sword, but that would be a bit weird and eye-catching.
It was best to give the Zhanlu sword a new scabbard, so I asked Mingchuan Rongmei to buy a scabbard as well. Anyway, now that she is in charge of the money, the shopping matters will naturally come back.Just leave it to her.
Mingchuan Rongmei agreed, and the two girls meditated and practiced the Yi Jin Jing for half an hour as usual before going to bed. They felt that they had made some progress, and then fell asleep happily.
When everyone got up early the next morning, they heard gongs and drums beating on the other side, people making noises and horses neighing, and it was very noisy.
According to the comments from the guests coming in and out of the lobby and having breakfast, it was said that a shocking murder occurred in the county government office last night. This morning, the officers and servants in the government office discovered that both the county magistrate and the county magistrate were dead in the inner house, and the assassin was also inside. The name was left behind by a female knight named "White Horse Red Scarf".
Some people secretly gave a thumbs up and said that this white horse and red scarf heroine has become famous recently. Not only is she more beautiful than a fairy, but she is also a martial arts expert who specializes in killing bandits, bullies and corrupt officials. She is really sent by God. The female fairy who came down to earth to slay demons and protect the Tao...
Some people whispered that the county magistrate and county magistrate had always cleverly set up names, scraped the ground three feet away, and opened opium dens to suck human blood. They were from Songxi County. The two big moths died unexpectedly this time, which is really satisfying, the sky has eyes...
Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei smiled knowingly when they heard this. She and Mingchuan Rongmei were both dressed in men's clothing. Although Lan Zhixin was They were wearing women's clothing, but they were also veiled, so the guests and waiters didn't notice their table.
After everyone had breakfast, they went back to their rooms, picked up their luggage and put it on the mules and horses. After paying their bills, they left the inn and looked eastward along the river bank.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Although Lan Zhixin does not know martial arts, she is very skilled in riding. It can be seen that she has specially practiced it, otherwise she would not have given Dongfang Ying a pair of top-notch riding boots.
She and two maids were riding Su Caiwei, each riding a blue and white mule. The two maids were not good at riding and followed cautiously. Lan Zhixin could not gallop as much as she wanted and could only walk slowly.
Although she was eager to return home, there was nothing she could do about it, because four or five boxes, hunched over three mules, could not move fast. At this speed, it was considered good to be able to cover fifty miles in an hour.
Fortunately, we entered Zhejiang within an hour and arrived at Qingyuan County, the capital of Chuzhou, at noon. Everyone had lunch in the county and bought some dry food and fruits.
Mingchuan Rongmei bought a memorandum bag and a small medicine box, but for a while she couldn't buy a suitable scabbard that could match Dongfang Ying's Zhanlu sword, so she had to give up.
Dongfang Ying heard from the stall owner that the nearby Longquan County was the place where the famous sword "Longquan Sword" was produced, and there must be suitable weapon accessories there.
So he decided to go north to Longquan County, where he would get the best scabbard for the Zhanlu Sword.
Lan Zhixin felt that she no longer walked on mountain roads and it was inconvenient and slow to transport boxes with mules, horses and camels. She immediately asked Kuang Zhiyuan to find a carriage shop and exchanged six mules for two A horse-drawn carriage moved four or five large and small boxes into a horse-drawn carriage.
And their three masters and servants also took a rideThe carriage was driven by two more drivers.
In this way, the goods were loaded in a carriage, and the three people rode fast horses, which was much faster. They galloped north along the Longqing official road and arrived at Longquan in Longquan County in more than an hour. Mountain.
Seeing that it was getting late, I asked passers-by that this place was still more than eighty miles away from the county seat. If we didn't hurry up, we might have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.
Dongfang Ying asked Lan Zhixin and the two maids if they were still feeling well and could they continue on their way?
The three women all said it was okay. Dongfang Ying was about to hurry up and continue moving forward when suddenly there was a heavy sound of horse hooves from the front and back, as well as the shouts and whistles of "ho ho ho" and "wu wu wu". .
Lan Zhixin asked tremblingly in the car:
"Sister Ying'er, this... what is this sound? Are there bandits blocking the road again?"
< p> Dongfang Yingfeng looked around and saw the dust flying in front and behind, and there was a faint black flag waving, she frowned and said:"Sister, don't panic, they don't look like bandits. Maybe they are not coming for us. , let’s ignore him and wait and see what happens.”
Lan Zhixin nodded and lowered the curtains. Dongfang Ying asked Mingchuan Rongmei to watch from behind while she shook the reins and rode the horse in front. Quietly stopped on the side of the road.
Soon the cavalry team before and after them approached Dongfang Ying and his party. They saw that the people and horses in front were densely packed. There were about fifty riders, all wearing red armor and black scarves. The first one was riding a brown horse. Son, the rider is a square-faced man in his late thirties.
As soon as the man saw the carriage and horses of Dongfang Ying and others, he immediately stopped the horses, raised his hands and shouted:
"Stop!"
Several people behind him All ten riders reined in their horses and stopped suddenly, shouting "woo woo woo" from their mouths.
Dongfang Ying took a closer look at the opponent's formation. There was no foreign gun on him, only ordinary swords. There were two flag-bearing hands holding two flags high, with "Fengyang Mountain Wing Dragon Hall" written on them respectively. "Six-armed Dart King Stone" and other words.
I muttered in my heart: What the hell is this? He looks like a bandit and a escort, neither fish nor fowl!
While I was watching with cold eyes, I heard the square-faced man wave his hand and cough, and the riders behind him stopped shouting and became quiet.
At this time, Dongfang Ying found that the group of people behind her was also parked not far away, invisibly blocking her group in the middle.
He was secretly on guard in his heart. As soon as the opponent made any move, he would immediately attack with all his strength and destroy it with the force of thunder.
Then I heard the square-faced man say loudly:
"Master Muzhai, why are you here to mobilize troops like this?"
Dongfang Ying looked back and saw that there were fifty or sixty people in the group behind her. The person in the front had a broad forehead and a big mouth, and a simple and honest face. Behind him, there were also banners flying high, which read "Longquan Mountain Flying Tiger Village" and "Thousand-Hand Flying Locust Wood". ".
This is the eastFang Ying figured it out. It turned out that two copycats had collided with each other. The leaders of these two copycats were both masters of hidden weapons. One was good at using darts and the other could fly locust rocks.
This is interesting. Could it be that both groups of bandits are eyeing my group? Let's see how they act and see if they can act accordingly.
Then she winked at Mingchuan Rongmei, with a calm expression and said nothing. Mingchuan Rongmei understood what she meant, so she stayed put. Not to mention Kuang Zhiyuan, he was more than willing to take action if he wanted to. And lack of strength.
The two drivers were so panicked that they broke out in cold sweat and did not dare to act rashly.
I could only hear the honest and honest man saying in a loud voice:
"Shi, this is still our territory of Feihu Village. You, the Winged Dragon Hall, have stretched your hands too far, haven't you? You still have the nerve to ask me why I'm here?"
"Get back quickly, so as not to hurt the peace between the two families! If the world says that you, Master Shi, are unjust and cross the line to grab food, then it won't spread. That sounds good."
The Shi Hall Master laughed and said disdainfully:
"Muzhai Master, we are all in the business of robbing homes and houses, we will go wherever there are fat sheep. Come on, what’s not over the line?”
“Besides, who said this is your Feihu Village’s territory? We were the first to take a look at this big fish. We’ve already come ten miles away. Feihu Village came here in a hurry, do you understand?"
The owner of the Mu Village said angrily: "What a fart! You came here to intercept me, do you still have any reason? Come to your senses and go back to your own doghouse. I'll kill you guys together."
Dongfang Ying couldn't help but laugh when she saw that these two groups of bandits were the first to fight. But he didn’t have time to waste his time here. He wished that both sides would get into a dog-eat-dog fight, so he immediately said:
"Brothers, we are also people in the world. We will follow whoever is more capable. You go first." Let's tell the difference, I'll wait by the side to capture the formation for you."
He said to the coachman: "Let's go, let's not disturb the heroes' decisive battle, and go to the front. Duck your head."
He slapped the white horse's butt and flew forward.
The Stone Hall Master couldn't help but was startled. He waved his hands and shot four steel darts at Dongfang Ying, shouting:
"Stop! Who told you to leave?"
Dongfang Ying stretched out her hand, took the four steel darts into her palm, fired them back at the people in Feihu Village, and shouted:
"Ouch, I was shocked. ! Master Shi, are you too cunning? It turns out you didn’t come for me..."
Those steel darts were shot towards Mu Zhai Master and others with strong winds, but Dongfang Ying blocked them. From the front, the technique was too fast. The owner of Muzhai realized that it was too late to use a hidden weapon to knock him down, so he had to lie on the horse's head to avoid it.
Only four sounds of "Ahhhhhh" were heardScreaming, the four riders from Feihu Village were hit by steel darts and rolled off their horses.
The leader of the village did not see clearly that it was Dongfang Ying who caught it and shot it out. He really thought that it was the leader of the Shi Hall who had sneak attacked them. He immediately became furious. He also raised his arms and fired dozens of flying missiles. The locust stone burst out of the air and shot at the men and horses of the Wing Dragon Hall, shouting angrily:
"The Wing Dragon Hall is bullying people too much! Come on, shoulder to shoulder..."
