Chapter 208
on the official road.

Many convoys parked in groups of three or four, all of them were frowning, frowning enough to kill a mosquito, as if they had encountered a huge difficulty.

The official road was blocked, Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi had to stop their horses.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the numerous convoys in front of her, and thought to herself, is this the ancient version of traffic jam?

"Jinghong, have you walked this road?"

Tang Jinghong got off his horse and said, "I've been here, but it's been three years ago. I don't know if there is any change now."

Someone nearby heard the two talking and said, "There is no change, but there are more bandits. There are bandits ahead who have set up checkpoints. You need to pay half the value of the goods to pass."

Chu Qingzhi also got off the horse, a young man dressed in white, even with an ordinary appearance, was particularly eye-catching, she said calmly, "The world is peaceful, how can there be bandits?"

"Hehe, the world is peaceful?" The man laughed mockingly, "Only you people who don't travel between the two places long will say such things."

Tang Jinghong frowned. The ordinary young man in black had an aura that made people dare not look directly at him, "What do you mean by that?"

"The world is not peaceful for a long time..." The man suddenly realized something, and then refused to speak.

Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Uncle, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about what is going on with this bandit?"

That person then reopened the conversation box.

"This bandit didn't know where he came from. He suddenly appeared half a year ago and set up a checkpoint in front of Qingshui Bridge. He asked everyone to pay tolls, otherwise the goods would be confiscated."

"The Qingshui bridge is the only way between the two places. We have no choice but to pay the money. This business is getting less and less profitable. I plan to stop running after this trip."

Tang Jinghong's air pressure was getting lower and lower, "Does the government not care?"

"Government?" The man was full of sarcasm, "They colluded with officials and gangsters, they control? They control us to take money."

Chu Qingzhi gently tugged on Tang Jinghong's clothes, signaling him to calm down, "Jinghong, let's go ahead and check the situation."

Tang Jinghong had the whole world in his heart, and he couldn't help being a little angry when he encountered such a thing that harmed the people and the country.

However, under Chu Qingzhi's reminder, he immediately restrained his emotions.

"Okay, let's go ahead and have a look."

The man kindly reminded, "You two horses probably won't be able to keep them."

Chu Qingzhi, "..."

Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi walked forward one after the other.

There is a river eight or nine meters wide in front, the river is clear and gentle, and occasionally fish can be seen swimming by in groups.

A three-meter-wide stone bridge is erected beside the river. The stone bridge is engraved with auspicious unicorns and the four characters "Feng Tiao Yu Shun", reflecting the green mountains and green waters, and the scenery is very beautiful.

However, at both ends of the stone bridge, ten-meter-long horses were stopped to cross and fix the wooden pillars into a frame, and the frame was inlaid with thorns.

Before rejecting the horse, a dozen or so big men with big arms and round waists were stopped, and they were not easy to provoke.

At this time, a man dressed as an outside member was taking out silver from his clothes and handing it to one of the big men, his face was full of heartache and anger, but he dared not speak.

After taking the bank note, the big man waved his hand, and two people moved the horse away to let people pass.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, snatched the silver ticket from the big man's hand and ran away.

The big man froze for a moment, and said angrily, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

Immediately, half of the men on the big man's side went to chase the little thief. The little thief ran very fast, and soon disappeared into the woods.

Chu Qingzhi, "..."

First, black eats black, then thieves shout and chase thieves, is it all like this now?

Those who went after the little thief had no choice but to run back, and then...

The big man waved his hand and asked his subordinates to stop the horse back again, and ordered the man dressed outside the staff, "Your money was taken away, you pay it again."

The man just felt that the sky was dark and the sky was dark. The silver he paid just now was already half of the profit, and if he gave half of it now, his trip would be in vain. "Brother, this money was taken away from you..."

Before he could speak, he was slapped across the face by the big man, and then he pulled out the knife and put it on his neck, "Will you give it?"

The man trembled tremblingly, shaking all over with fright, he quickly took out the bank note from his hand, "Here, here..."

In the next second, the silver ticket was picked up by a gleaming sword and fell into Tang Jinghong's hand. At the same time, the sword in his hand was lifted up and swung...

The big man's throat was sealed with a sword, and a blood-red line appeared on his neck. The blood slowly overflowed from the line, and more and more flowed, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

This scene startled everyone.

The caravan immediately retreated, while the big man immediately surrounded Tang Jinghong with a knife, "Kill!"

Tang Jinghong was instantly besieged by a dozen big men, fighting with swords and swords.

Chu Qingzhi didn't have a weapon in hand, so she took the horsewhip from the groom beside her, and with a flash of spiritual power, the soft whip immediately turned into a sharp weapon for killing people.

Chu Qingzhi flew to the bridge and fought with the big man rushing across the bridge.

"Crack!" A whip hit a big man, directly shattering his internal organs. The big man vomited blood and died soon.

The sound of "Papa Papa" kept ringing, and after a dozen times, the big man on the opposite side was completely wiped out.

Tang Jinghong killed half of them here, Chu Qingzhifei came back to help, and after a few whips, there was only one left.

Chu Qingzhi kicked a vine over, tied up the big man, and asked for a while.

The onlookers were stunned, one whip killed one, it was so powerful, they couldn't help but marvel at Chu Qingzhi's lethality, and the admiration almost overflowed their eyes.

Immediately, a young man came over with two bowls of water, "You two heroes, you are so powerful, please drink some water."

Tang Jinghong politely declined, "We are not thirsty, thank you."

The boy was not disappointed, and looked at the two with bright eyes, "Drink it later, I'll put it aside."

When the people around saw this scene, they regretted it in their hearts. Why didn't they think of going up to show courteousness in the first place? Knowing such a person, their goods must be safe.

Tang Jinghong turned back and asked, "Who is your master?"

If you dare to do this, it is impossible not to have a powerful master.

The big man couldn't help but said, "Lu Hongtu!"

Tang Jinghong frowned, Lu Hongtu was a young general in the Northern Xinjiang Army, he did not expect to be so rampant, "Why did you come here to rob?"

The big man was dripping with cold sweat, "You can only be promoted if you have money. Now in the northern Xinjiang army, whoever gives the most money will be promoted."

Is Northern Xinjiang already so rotten?

Tang Jinghong's face became extremely ugly, and he looked at him coldly, "Is there anyone else blocking the way like you?"

The big man breathed heavily, "There are official roads in and out of the northern border and the outer city, and they have been divided up by several young generals in the army."

Tang Jinghong clenched his fists tightly, his anger could hardly be suppressed, "The king of Beijiang doesn't care?"
