  Chapter 208 208. Road robbery

   On the official road.

  Many convoys parked in groups of threes and fours. Everyone in the convoy was 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?

   "Jing Hong, have you walked this road?"

  Tang Jinghong got off his horse, "I've been here, but it's been three years ago. I don't know if anything has changed now."

  Someone next to them heard the two talking, and said proactively, "There are no changes, 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 handsome young man in white clothes, even with an ordinary appearance, she 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, "You are the only ones who don't travel between the two places for a long time to 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 other things, let's talk about what is going on with this bandit?"

  The man reopened the chatterbox.

   "This bandit came from nowhere. It suddenly appeared half a year ago and set up a checkpoint in front of Qingshui Bridge. Everyone is required to pay tolls, otherwise the goods will be seized."

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

  Tang Jinghong's body 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 pulled Tang Jinghong's clothes, signaling him to calm down, "Jinghong, let's go ahead and see the situation."

   Tang Jinghong has the world in his heart, and he can't help being a little angry when he encounters such a disaster that harms 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 kept."

  Chu Qingzhi, "..."

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

   There is a river eight or nine meters wide in front of it. The river is clear and gentle, and occasionally you can see fish swimming by in groups.

  A stone bridge with a width of three meters 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.

   In front of the refusal to stop the horse, a dozen or so big, tall, and round men with big arms and round waists were stopped, and they were not easy to provoke.

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

   After taking the banknote, the big man waved his hand, and two people pushed the horse away to let people pass.

   At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out, snatched the bank note from the big man 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 extremely fast, and soon disappeared into the woods.

  Chu Qingzhi, "..."

  First, black eats black, and then thieves chase after 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 rejection horse 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 now he would pay half again, and his trip would be in vain. "Brother, this money was taken away from you..."

  Before he could speak, the big man slapped him on the face, and then drew the knife to 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..."

  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 the more it flowed, the more he fell to the ground.

   This scene shocked 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 horsewhip immediately became 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 wiped out.

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

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

  Everyone in the audience was 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 too powerful, please drink water."

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

  The young man was not disappointed, he 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?"

  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 didn't expect to be so rampant, "Why did you come here to rob?"

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

  Has Northern Xinjiang become so rotten?

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

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

  Tang Jinghong clenched his fists tightly, unable to suppress his anger, "The king of Northern Xinjiang doesn't care?"
