Chapter 164 Attack on the Ice
"Wow!"

Lu Yuanyuan stood in front of the car and pointed in the distance, excitedly saying: "Sir, there is a river in front of you."

On this day, the three of them were walking on the road and ushered in a sunny day.In the distance, a long river passes through the earth, like a silver belt, containing all the winter sunshine.

"What a big river." Yang Liang sighed with emotion, and then became worried: "How are we going to cross the river?"

Lu Yuanyuan and Ah-Dai frowned at the same time. It seemed that they had not thought about this issue.

Yang Liang drove the donkey cart to the ferry and saw that it was like a small market, already crowded with people.

Many of them are merchants crossing the river, and some are local villagers, pushing carts and carrying poles to sell goods.

"Sir, how should we get there?" Lu Yuanyuan asked.

Yang Liang thought for a while and said, "I'm going to ask if anyone wants the donkey cart after selling it."

On the official road, the donkey cart helped him save a lot of energy. However, once he encountered this situation, the donkey cart turned into trouble.

Yang Liang asked several people who were interested in bidding, and they probably felt that Yang Liang had to sell it, and the bid was outrageously low.

Although I have some gold and silver on my body now, the rich man's money did not come from the strong wind. It was all obtained through hard work.

Even though a donkey was worth a lot of money, Yang Liang felt that he couldn't waste it like this.

"Let's eat something first and then figure it out."

Yang Liang saw a mutton soup seller on the roadside, so he bought some sesame seed cakes and ordered two bowls of hot soup from Lu Yuanyuan and Ah Dai.

As soon as he turned his head, Lu Yuanyuan and Ah-Dai disappeared at the same time.

Yang Liang was shocked. What happened? He must have lost it again.

"Sir, sir..."

At this time, Lu Yuanyuan ran out of the river with Ah-Dai and said excitedly: "I found a way to cross the river. We can walk directly there. The river is already frozen."

"This……"

Yang Liang suddenly remembered something and thought to himself, he must have become Tang Monk. Halfway through the journey, another carp spirit caught him.

"Is it freezing solid?"

"Don't worry, sir, it's strong."

After eating, Yang Liang went to the river to take a look in person and found that due to the cold weather, the river had been sealed with a layer of ice, and there were many people standing on the ice by the river.

However, there were many teams, but no one crossed the ice.

"Brother, the ice surface looks solid now, but in fact it's just a thin layer in the middle of the river. If you want to cross the river, you have to wait a little longer until it's completely frozen, and then tie the donkey's hooves with cloth strips. , to cross the river.”

A middle-aged man with a beard said not far away.

"May I ask what your name is, eldest brother?"

You have to be careful when going out, but Yang Liang also understands the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths.

"His name is Sha Feiyan. He is from the Tongda Escort Bureau. This time, he will deliver the medicinal materials to the Sibao Pharmacy in Suzhou." Sha Feiyan was a cheerful person and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you do? "

"I'm going to Beijing to take the exam."

"It turns out it's the Master of Juren. I couldn't tell." Sha Feiyan sighed twice and said, "If you can trust us, then come with us. We will have a companion on the way."

"Of course that's the best thing."

Yang Liang glanced around and saw the escort flags on the escort agency's motorcade. Sha Feiyan's words should not be false.

In broad daylight, Yang Liang was not afraid of their evil intentions.

Even if he has evil intentions, he may not be afraid of them.

Yang Liang chatted with Sha Feiyan for a few words and then began to pack his donkey cart.

Then he wrapped hemp rope around the wheels of the donkey cart, and then stayed by the river, waiting for the weather to continue to get colder.

In the early morning of that day, Sha Feiyan woke up Yang Liang: "Master Li, the weather is just right, let's hurry up and hurry up."

Yang Liang poked his head out of the carriage. It was gray outside. It was the time when ghosts were baring their teeth. Sha Feiyan's eyebrows and beard were still covered with hoarfrost.

Thinking of having to travel in such weather, Yang Liang even wondered if he had committed any evil in his previous life.

But looking at Sha Feiyan and others, their expressions were as usual, and they seemed to have no idea of ​​the hard work.

Yang Liang drove the carriage and joined the convoy of Tongda Escort. In the early morning, they were not the only ones on the road. Others were transporting grain and firewood... The convoy was lined up in a long row. Occasionally, there was the sound of whips, and mules The horse moved forward with his head lowered.

Yang Liang was a little nervous at first, but later he felt relieved when he saw that the ice was still solid and everyone else was walking on it.

"Is this your first time traveling far away, Mr. Li?" Sha Fei said.

"Yeah." Yang Liang nodded and said, "Can you tell?"

"You can tell it at a glance." Sha Feiyan said: "We all live on the road. No matter who they are, as long as they pass in front of us, we can tell at a glance what they do?"

"Really?" Yang Liang said.

"Haha, I know you don't believe it." Sha Feiyan said: "Let's just talk about you. In addition to being a candidate, you must have other identities?"

"Uh……"

Yang Liang was startled and thought to himself, he is really so clever.

"You're still a patient, right?" "This..."

Yang Liang fell silent for a moment.

"Don't be embarrassed to admit it. I've actually seen it for a long time. In addition to going to Beijing to take the exam, you also want to go to the capital to see a doctor, right?"

"Uh...cough cough cough." Yang Liang suddenly coughed violently.

"Look, look, what am I talking about? In fact, if you want to see a doctor, you don't have to go that far. Did you see the medicinal materials in our car? They are all sent to Sibao Pharmacy. The old owner of Sibao Pharmacy is This is a miracle doctor, he will definitely be able to heal your body."

As he spoke, Sha Feiyan sighed again and said, "However, there is something troublesome at the Sibao Medicine Store, so they may not be able to help you."

"What happened?"

Yang Liang asked curiously.

"The young master from Sibao Pharmacy is missing."

"Oh?" Yang Liang suddenly became interested and asked, "How old is he? What is the surname of the old owner of Sibao Drug Store?"

"The surname is Zhong. The young master is probably eight or nine years old this year."

Yang Liang's originally excited heart suddenly became silent again.It's a pity that one is named Ke and the other is named Zhong, so they are destined not to be a family.

Flower-shooting is very rampant these days, and children on the street are abducted without warning.

It was not just Sibao Drug Store who lost his child, and more than one Ke Shouming lost his child.

"This flirt is so hateful!" Yang Liang felt this and cursed fiercely.

"Who says it's not the case? We travel all over the country and see too many things like this. If you meet Mr. Li, you might as well ask around. The old shopkeeper is a good man."

Sha Feiyan started talking and talked non-stop.Unknowingly, it is already dawn. The winter sun rises from the sky and sets on people, but it does not bring much warmth.

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in his ears. Yang Liang raised his head and saw several figures in the distance approaching quickly on a snow crawler.

"No, it's a river bandit!"

Sha Feiyan's expression changed drastically.

Before Yang Liang could react, he saw people from the Tongda Escort Bureau surrounding the escort car.

Their escort leader's surname was Zheng. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Can you clearly see which group they are?"

Sha Feiyan said: "I heard that this is Boss Liu's territory. They are recently fighting against Zhang Erluzi in the east."

The head escort Zheng said: "I know Boss Liu. If we meet him, we may be able to chat. But we have not dealt with Zhang Er, we don't know what his temper is, and we will take action if we don't even think about it."

Several escorts guarded the escort carriage and secretly touched their weapons, but did not take them out.

In a blink of an eye, the water thieves have arrived. They are sitting on a dog-like crawler. The leader is a fat man with a big hat on his head.

Zheng Biao came forward and said a few words. These water thieves were indeed Zhang Er's people.

"Mountains do not change, water does not change, water does not change people. We are members of the Tongda Escort Bureau. We are familiar with each other once and twice. Raise your hands and make friends."

"It's not that I want to cause trouble for my friends. It's just that it's cold and I can't fill my stomach. Please give me a way to survive." The idiot Zhang raised a thumb and said: "1000 taels."

Chief Zheng's expression changed suddenly. The relationship between the escort agency and the bandits was not incompatible. Most of the time, it was a cooperative relationship. Each side took a step back and sought a balance.

A fool like Zhang Er was so open-minded that he had no intention of talking about it.

At this time, the other bodyguards had quietly touched the weapons hidden in the carriage, and they only waited for the order from the head escort Zheng to start fighting.

"Hahaha."

Zhang Er laughed stupidly, took out a baggage from his body, lit it with a fire stick, waved his hand and threw it on the ice.

There was a roar, like a landslide and a crack in the ground, and a deep pit appeared on the ice.

The escorts were panic-stricken, and some of them were ignorant and didn't even recognize what this thing was.

Yang Liang's expression also changed greatly. He did not expect that this water thief had such powerful gunpowder.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Er laughed even more: "How about it, are you afraid? If I throw it at you, you still have your life to talk to me."

Zheng Biaotou's eyelids twitched twice. It was the most troublesome to meet such a person who did not abide by the rules of the world.

He waved his hand and said seriously: "We only have 200 taels of silver with us, and we can't get out any more."

Zhang Erzi stroked his beard and said: "It's only 200 taels of silver, and you're sending it to a beggar."

"This is the escort money given by the boss in advance. We brothers have worked hard for a month, but we can only earn some grain. We can't get any more."

Zhang Erzi pointed sideways and said, "Since the money is not enough, let's keep the goods."

"This won't work!"

Zheng Biaotou is very strict, and he relies on his brand name to travel around the world. If the goods are lost, Tongda Escort's brand name will not be up at night, and the more than 100 people behind him will have to go to the streets to beg for food.

"I have discussed it with you." Zhang Er said stupidly: "Do you want me to do it, or do you want to send it to me yourself?"

Bouncer Zheng's expression changed, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.Everyone else looked at him, just waiting for his decision.

"What's the noise?"

At this time, Lu Yuanyuan poked her head out of the carriage and said with sleepy eyes: "They are just a few thieves. Just kill them."
