After entering Shanxi, it entered thousands of mountains, along the way either up the mountain or down the mountain, as if how to walk out of the embrace of the mountain, and the so-called official road is a joke, it is really a big pit and a small pit constantly, at this time there is no need to deliberately exercise physical strength, is to help the cart, you can completely make the people muscular, so the daily itinerary will slow down.
As Lu Hanqiang advanced, a team of businessmen began to follow spontaneously behind him, hoping to get the protection of this team that looked very strong, and did not greet each other, one walked in front of him, and the other followed silently, and then at the fork in the road, they were silently separated, and Lu Hanqiang did not drive away, nor colluded, and let them come and go freely.
However, they strictly require their personnel not to associate with them, so as not to lose their words, reveal the purpose of their trip, and bring unnecessary trouble to themselves.
As he went deeper and deeper into Shanxi, Lu Hanqiang became extra cautious, not only began to send scouts when he was marching, but also the training was not carried out during the march, all of them were in place, and when they set up camp, they also began to train in batches, always leaving a force to guard the material camp, Chen Liang's personal army also began to send people intensively, trying to find out as much as possible about the front and back, and everything became tense.
Lu Hanqiang's riding practice has also become more diligent, and he can now wield a saber on his horse to slash.
However, at this time, the saber was heavy and laborious to chop, not to mention others, even Lu Hanqiang's physical strength, and after waving ten times in a row, he also felt that his arm was sore, and he needed a long period of rest to recover.
But it is impossible to reduce the weight, because these sabers only have a piece of steel embedded in the cutting edge, and other places are simply iron, in order to enhance the strength of the knife, the blade can only be made wide, and the back of the knife can be thick, "It seems that if you want a lightweight, real saber, you still have to wait for yourself to practice real steel to achieve it."
When he urged the horse to cut down on a small tree again, the trunk of the thick arm actually clamped the saber, so that Lu Hanqiang had to let go immediately, if he didn't let go, his wrist would be a cost.
"You can't cut people like this, not only are there no rules, it's easier to get the enemy's bones trapped, and when you don't have a spare weapon, then you can only wait for the enemy to cut you."
At this time, Chen Liang frowned and corrected Lu Hanqiang's mistake for the nth time.
Then he continued to demonstrate to him the real skills of dragging a knife to kill the enemy, but seeing that the clumsy Lu Hanqiang violated the rules again, he shook his head helplessly: "I think you better forget it, you are not a material to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, when I learned this, my father only handed it to me once, and then took me to the battlefield, and I used this method to cut a person at that time." ” Lu Hanqiang smiled and nodded, "Look, let's talk about leaking, I'll just say that you were a horse thief in the first place, tell me, where are all the jewels you robbed, are we going back to dig them up" "Don't interrupt, do you want to learn or not" Chen Liang, who was about to give up just now, at this time, thinking about the chaos and danger in the northwest in the future, it is better to teach him to be more sure, or to rush to kill with a guy who is useless and has no ability to save his life, it will be a burden to himself.
Lu Hanqiang stopped practicing at this time, looked at the team moving forward, looked at the caravan following behind, and couldn't help frowning: "This knife is unaccustomed, when we arrive at the destination, I must practice steel and create a real Xuefeng knife, well, it is such a beautiful arc, so thick, so wide, so long, the weight is only less than half of this kind of saber, with my physique, it is no problem to swing it thirty times in a row."
Lu Hanqiang compared to Chen Liang the Xuefeng knife invented by General Peng Xuefeng in later generations, which is a sharp weapon suitable for towing knives and chopping with cavalry. was introduced by Lu Hanqiang with a sharp weapon, Chen Liang asked suspiciously: "There is such a knife in this world, don't say thirty times, if you touch the opponent's weapon, it will be broken in one moment, you can brag about it."
Then he looked at the sky and urged: "Slippery, hurry up and chop ten times." ” Lu Hanqiang was reluctant to suffer any more crimes, he was a civil official, and he had no chance to go to the battlefield, but he was walking on the road at this time just in case, and he dared to do something so hard.
At this time, the team had passed through a pass between two mountains, and a town faintly appeared in front, Zhang Zihan rode over and discussed with Lu Hanqiang, preparing to rest in this town for a while, and then set up camp after walking through the opposite mountain in one breath.
Lu Hanqiang just looked at the sky, it was also noon at this time, the scorching sun shone on the heads of the people and horses moving forward, it was hot and uncomfortable, and it also consumed a lot of mental and physical strength, and he really needed to rest and rectify, and at the same time hoped to replenish some supplies in the town in front.
Now Lu Hanqiang is starting to have a headache about materials, because the more he goes, the more sparse the villages and towns become, and even if there are large villages and towns, they are very withered, and it is more and more difficult to buy the needs of thousands of people.
And some of the caravans that followed behind also grabbed a share of their own, so now they have to spare no effort to replenish supplies in case they encounter the town.
The guy who accompanied the previous station of the firm stood by Lu Hanqiang's side at this time, and said to Lu Hanqiang: "Lord co-organizer, the town in front is called Killing Tiger's Mouth, and when you get here, you have entered the realm of Wutai. ” Lu Hanqiang smiled and took his hand and said, "Thank you brother for your guidance and companionship all the way, otherwise we would have been lost in the mountains, and in terms of food and drink, my brother would have really bothered."
Then he took a small bag from Zihan's hand: "Take this bit of silver as the envoy fee for the return trip." ” "No, no, no, it absolutely can't be done."
The guy was like being scalded, and he shook his hand: "It's a small honor to do something for the co-organizers, and besides, these days for the co-organizers to buy, I also took a layer of procedures, a lot, a lot." ” Lu Hanqiang took his hand with a smile and forced the small package into his hand: "Originally, according to my regulations, entering Shanxi requires two layers of procedures, but my brother is benevolent, as long as there is one layer, I am really sorry." ” "My lord, when those guys laid off us, you can pull us down these bitter post guards, let us really be back people, we can eat without bullying the surrounding people, all our post guards and family members, are grateful for your kindness, if you are greedy, is it still a human being?"
"Don't say it, I'll just decide."
Lu Hanqiang didn't want to talk to him anymore, and besides, it was endless words of gratitude, and he was dizzy to hear it all the way.
Sent away the guy who was full of tears, and at this time, a young man dressed in the uniform of a merchant house ran out of the town, and greeted him from a distance: "Is the team in front of you co-organized by Lu?"
Lu Hanqiang greeted him with a smile, "I am Lu Hanqiang, this brother" When the young man heard this, he was about to kowtow without saying a word, Lu Hanqiang had already guarded against this hand, and copied it, and he was used to it: "Don't kowtow, let's get down to business." ” The young man didn't live or die, and the two of them tore for another half a day before they finished it.
"The small is this killing tiger mouth station, no, it is the head of the firm, the day before yesterday I received a letter from the previous station, I am ready to meet the co-organizer here, the house has been vacated for the adult, please go to the merchant inn to take a rest, let the small report to you the situation ahead."
Lu Hanqiang nodded and said to the little fat man: "Take a large team of people into the town to rest, and restrain the people and horses not to disturb the people." ” The little fat man agreed, and led the team into the town.
This killing tiger mouth town is built on the mountain, the east and west are three miles away, it can be seen that the town is very large, think about how prosperous it was at the beginning, but now it is the same as other places, it has also withered into the appearance, especially when the army comes in, it is even more closed, they all hide behind the door and pray for the Buddha to bless these killing officials and soldiers not to take the opportunity to plunder, and even send their own women and daughters directly from the back door to the mountain.
Fortunately, things are not as unbearable as everyone imagined, this time the officers and soldiers entered the town, and sat down along the street in such a regular manner, and then there were people who began to set up pots and stoves to cook, and the children who boldly surrounded them, how much can they still give some food and drink, and some people knocked on the door panels of the shops, and discussed in a kind tone to buy something, and after the trembling shop opened, they also paid in full after buying things, and then went out politely, and there was absolutely no scolding and domineering.
Lu Hanqiang, Zihan Ruyun and Zhao Zi's father-in-law and his party, as the young man entered the inn of the trading house, the young man was well-behaved and had already prepared a bathing place for the girl, which immediately made him feel good in the hearts of the two women, but Lu Hanqiang didn't have time to wash up, and directly asked about the condition of the road in front of him.
"So that the co-organizer knows, we are called Killing the Tiger's Mouth here, and the mountain in front of us is Geziling, but there is a group of poles on the mountain in front, and the leader is called Breaking the Ground, and he often goes down the mountain to loot, and this Killing Tiger's Mouth is his masterpiece to this day."
When it comes to this, it is already gnashing teeth.
Lu Hanqiang is drinking tea indifferently, and he doesn't care about these, nearly a thousand people and horses are moving forward sonorously, which can definitely deter the enemy, and as long as he doesn't find trouble for himself, then don't care about him.
Along the way, there are a lot of cottages passed, most of them are not interfering with each other, the poles don't want to provoke when they see such a team, and they have no obligation to eliminate harm for the local area, even if they have this heart, it's useless, eradicate these, and there will be another one after they leave, and now this year, that is, the age of producing poles, they can't take care of the emperor's affairs. t1706231537:
