Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 322, winter rain piercingly cold

In the woods high on the hills.

Qin Ruozhu explained the details with familiarity, and told He Yuan one by one the personnel in the team of escorting prisoners that needed attention.

"Brother He, look at that——"

Following Qin Tuozhu's guidance, He Yuan's eyes looked at the men on horseback behind the escort team.

A cooked copper rod was hung on a big man's horse. This man had a black cloth headband and a blue cotton coat.The other was wearing a gray cotton coat, which was slightly bloated.

Qin Ruozhu said: "Did you see the one with the stick? That man's name is Na Heng, and he's one of Gongfu Yin's subordinates. After the Gongfu Yin official returned to his post, he recruited a lot of people. This person was originally in Wanyanlu Mansion. After Wanyan Lu fell down, he was somehow recruited by Gongfu Yin. In addition to being good at stick techniques, he also knows how to practice kung fu with golden bells and iron shirts. The one in gray is called Li Xun. It is said that he is good at grasping and concealed weapons.

There's another, you see, someone like that old master. "

He Yuan listened to the guidance and saw a thin old man riding a horse.The old man was wearing an old green robe, like a failed scholar.

Qin Tuozhu said: "Don't look at him as inconspicuous, this man is called Ji Bin, he is good at palm techniques, and he has mastered the martial arts of poisonous sand palm. He has a nickname, Menglixiao, which describes his kung fu and mind are as vicious, Those who offend him will have nightmares. These people in ordinary clothes are all the new guests that Gongfu Yin has recruited into his house."

Qin Ruozhu said: "There are people with great kung fu. Apart from the Baihu official, there are two people from Kuaiban, two foreign monks and three people sent by Gongfu Yin. There are eight people in total who can be regarded as good players. The rest of the people on horseback should be servants or servants accompanying them."

Listening to Qin Tuozhu's explanation, He Yuan glanced at the escorting prisoners.There are roughly three categories. People who wear government uniforms are people in the magistrate's government office.Those who wore leather and cotton armor were all soldiers going to the Northwest Army Fort.Those who wear servant clothes in Tsing Yi and those who wear ordinary clothes are all private soldiers of Lord Gong.

He Yuan said: "Gong Fu Yin is also careful enough to send so many people."

Qin Tuozhu said: "In terms of fighting alone, maybe you are not afraid of these people. However, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and they attack in groups, are you sure?"

He Yuan said: "These people on the surface are not afraid, but they are afraid that there will be people following in ambush secretly, waiting for those who want to take the bait."

Qin Ruozhu said: "Don't worry, there are our eyeliners along the road. If someone really follows secretly, I will ask Du Xiaobao to send you a letter."

He Yuan said: "Thank you Qin Tuozhu."

He looked back at the three members of the Lu family who couldn't bear it anymore, as well as his apprentice Hua Yan.

"Have you figured it out, want to go with me?"

The three apprentices and Wen Yuhua nodded together.

He Yuan said: "Okay. Let's set off here and go ahead of them."

He Yuan bid farewell to Qin Tuozhu.

Qin Yan originally wanted to help, but the Beggar Gang really couldn't get away here, and He Yuan also said that there were too many people going, and it was easy to be targeted.

Qin Tuozhu sent his apprentice Du Xiaobao and a close friend to help He Yuan contact the disciples of the Beggar Clan along the way. With them, it is convenient to pass the news.

Seven people rode fast horses and descended the hill, ready to rush to the front of the escort team.

He Yuan and others hurried all the way away, and the team escorting the prisoners could only walk slowly.

The team escorting the prisoners walked all the way along the official road, and whenever it was time to stay, they would choose to rest at the post station in the Kingdom of Jin.Bantou Zeng of the fast class has spent many years in Gongmen and the Jianghu. He knows that some of the prisoners know friends in the Jianghu, and he is also afraid that someone will come to rob people and save others.Therefore, be careful all the way along the way.

On the first day, they passed several dangerous places, but there was no movement.People who were worried about trouble on the road gradually felt relieved when they saw that there was no danger after leaving the city.

After arriving in Qingshui Town the next day, it suddenly started to rain.It was raining and cold in winter, and several leaders looked at the weather outside, each with a sad face.

Fortunately, the next day, the rain stopped and they could continue on their way.

According to the plan, they will rush to the next inn today to stay overnight.However, before noon, something happened on the road.

Every time this team walks a certain distance, they will send out scout horses to find out the way ahead.

Zeng Bantou was riding on the horse, his head was shaking with the bumps of the horse.Suddenly, he heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him.Looking up, he saw two fast horses, and hurried over.

Zeng Wei broke his horse and caught up with Teng Wei, the official of Baihu.The two scouts rushed to the boss, already panting from exhaustion.A scout reported back: "Master Teng, Captain Zeng, the road ahead is broken."

"what?"

Teng Wei, the official of Hundred Households, and Zeng Wei, the leader of the fast class, looked at the messy official road in front of them with pale faces.

This section of the road leans against a dirt slope.The road runs through the slope.I don't know if it's because of the rain or what, but at this time, on the official road, the soil on both sides is pouring down, and there are a few big trees with gravel, which tightly block the road.

At this time, the team behind escorted the prisoners and rushed up.

A group of officers and soldiers saw that the road ahead was impassable, and they didn't know what to do.

Hundred household officer Teng Wei waved to the captains of several soldiers.The soldiers immediately ordered the team to stop.As soon as the team stopped, many weak prisoners fell to the ground and couldn't get up, wailing.

With a big ax on his back and a big head on his head, Xue Fei urged his horse to catch up.He is Zeng Wei's confidant.

"Ban, class—leader, what shall we do?"

Zeng Wei didn't answer Xue Fei.He looked at Teng Baihu.

Teng Baihu didn't hesitate: "Open a road in the mountains and build a bridge in the water. At this time, we can't delay. Let the prisoners who are strong inside work together to clear the road. Let's hurry up."

Bantou Zeng nodded, and he asked someone to invite Master Ji sent by the governor.

Mrs. Ji was working in the Fu Yin's house, and the boss Zeng didn't dare to act arbitrarily, so he specially invited Ji Bin here to ask his opinion.

Ji Bin is old and thin, like an old scholar.He looked at the situation of the road, and then said with a moaning voice: "You two can make up your mind, don't ask me."

Seeing what he said, Teng and Zeng immediately ordered their subordinates to find out the able-bodied prisoners among the prisoners, and began to move trees and stones and clean up the soil.

Some soldiers and government officials were left to guard the prisoners.Another part of the soldiers cleared the way with the strong prisoners.

The soldiers who were assigned to clear the road cursed in their hearts, but they didn't dare not listen.Several leaders supervised in shifts, and the rest took the opportunity to rest.

That old master Ji Bin didn't take a break, he stood by the side of the road to supervise the work with great interest.Occasionally, when someone lifted a tree, he would step up and look at it carefully.

When the road was half cleared, Old Master Ji suddenly walked towards Zeng Wei and Hundred Household Officer Teng Wei.
