Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1605
The weather in early winter is a bit cold.

The destination of a batch of goods to be transported here at Huangcheng Station is Kaifeng City.

At this time, Kaifeng City was not very prosperous, but because of the existence of the Bian River, it also developed by relying on several piers.

In the Central Plains, the status of Kaifeng City cannot be ignored.

The person in charge of transporting this batch of goods is called Uncle Yun. He is in his forties this year and is an old man at the Imperial City Station.

It stands to reason that it would be safer for a person like him to be responsible for the classification of some memorials.

If he came out to walk the darts, he would not agree with his status.

However, if such a dart trip is successful, the rewards will be very rich. Uncle Yun belongs to the kind of person who has an old man and a young man, and all of them are supported by him alone.

For this generous reward, he bit the bullet and accepted the job.

Of course, he dared to accept this errand, and he also had some confidence in himself. When he used to deliver letters, he was familiar with the road to Kaifeng City from the capital city. With him leading him, he could avoid many detours. If there is an accident, they will be able to rush to Kaifeng City in a month.

After leaving Chang'an City, Uncle Yun led a group of people to escort Qin Tian's goods and headed towards Kaifeng City.

After walking like this for about ten days, he left the border of Longxi and directly entered Henan Road.

And just after they entered Henan Road, the sky was gloomy, and at dusk that day, it began to snow again.

There were numerous snowflakes, not particularly big, but definitely not too small.

"Uncle Yun, the weather is really noisy. It's snowing so much, what should we do next?"

The speaker was slender and looked a bit like a monkey. Everyone called him Liuhou.

Liuhou is a person who likes to complain, but the journey is quite boring, and when he complains a few words, everyone feels better.

It's snowing today, and I'm afraid it will delay their trip again.

Uncle Yun glanced at the sky and said, "There is a ruined temple not far ahead, we can take shelter from the snow temporarily, and continue on our way after the snow stops."

There are no houses for thirty miles, let alone towns, and it is impossible for them to find a place to stay. The only thing they can do is to enter the ruined temple.

Everyone laughed wryly, but it was better to have a ruined temple than to walk in the snow, so everyone didn't say anything, but hurried on their way.

The ruined temple was not far away, and after walking a mile or two, they saw the ruined temple.

The dilapidated temple was a bit dilapidated, but fortunately it was big enough to accommodate escort escorts like them, and the main hall in front was still intact, so it wouldn't be too cold.

After they stopped at the ruined temple, they lit a fire, and then took out the food they brought with them to heat up and eat it. After they finished their busy work, it was already late, and the wind and snow outside were whistling and not stopping.

After a day's driving, everyone felt a little sleepy after eating, and then they each found a place to lie down and rest.

Uncle Yun checked his surroundings, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he finally turned around and went back to the ruined temple to rest.

The sound of the wind and snow did not stop, and some people had already fallen asleep.

But at this moment, there were some light footsteps outside, and Uncle Yun sat up abruptly. He delivered letters all the year round, and his sleep was very light, but if there was any trouble, he couldn't hide it from him.

After waking up, he glanced outside through the window, and saw a group of men in black walking on the snow outside, Uncle Yun's eyebrows frowned, and then he shouted: "Get up, someone is robbing the darts, Six Monkeys, let the pigeons out."

"Here!"

After the six monkeys took the order, they let out a pigeon they had never used. After flying out, the pigeon disappeared in the snowstorm.

At this time, Uncle Yun and the others were ready to meet the enemy.

"Remember, fight if you can. If you can't fight, save your life first. The carrier pigeon has been released. After the nearest county government receives it, it will send people here soon."

"Yes."

They were ready to fight, and at this moment, the men in black outside had already rushed in frantically. They had already noticed something strange in the house, so they didn't deliberately hide their voices.

Uncle Yun frowned, his forehead was sweating, and then he shouted: "Fire the arrow."

With an order, sharp arrows flew out of the ruined temple immediately, and quickly shot several men in black. However, the wind and snow outside were very heavy, and the sharp arrows were not very accurate, and it was against the wind, so Even more skewed.

The power of the sharp arrow could not exert its maximum effect. After killing a few men in black, the remaining men in black rushed in.

"kill!"

Uncle Yun was the first to pick up the weapon and killed the men in black.

They are all skilled in martial arts, and their number is almost the same as that of the men in black. They thought they could compete with these men in black, but after fighting for a while, they found that compared with these men in black, their force was obviously Weaker.

Soon, several companions were injured. Seeing this situation, Uncle Yun frowned and shouted: "Back, "

They retreated as soon as they said they would retreat, and everyone did not hesitate at all, and quickly exited the ruined temple. The men in black saw that the station members retreated, but they did not pursue them. Their purpose was not to kill people, but to obtain Qin Tian's batch of goods , as long as the goods are in hand, they don't have to chase them down anymore.

'Take the goods and leave. '

After the man in black finished speaking, he quickly took Qin Tian's batch of goods away. Although the wind and snow were heavy and the road was difficult, they did not mean to destroy the batch of goods. The goods were very valuable, and they returned I'm really sorry.

Moreover, when Gao Shilian sent them here, he did not say that they would destroy the goods.

A group of people walked forward in the snow, and the speed was not particularly fast.

After Uncle Yun and others escaped from the ruined temple, they did not continue to flee, but sent a few people back to follow the men in black. When their reinforcements arrived, they were almost ready to fight back for revenge.

The wind and snow continued, and the territory of Henan Road was silvery white.

The county government closest to the ruined temple is Luochuan County. The county magistrate Zhao Bing was sleeping, and a servant hurriedly knocked on the door outside.

"My lord, my lord..."

Zhao Bing sat up from the bed, a little annoyed, and asked angrily: "What's the matter, are you still allowed to sleep?"

"My lord, something happened. I received a message from the Imperial City Station that the goods they escorted were robbed. We need to send someone to intercept them."

Zhao Bing rubbed his eyes and scolded: "The goods at the post station have been robbed, why should I send someone to intercept them, don't do it."

The servant stood outside with a wry smile, and said: "My lord, this is the goods of Mr. Qin, and the goods at the post station were robbed. If the nearest county government doesn't care about it, it will be punished. When the time comes, the little county magistrate, my lord, will be fined." , I'm afraid it can't be done."

Zhao Bing rolled his eyes and reluctantly got up.
