Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7290

Beijing.

In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, Bei Liyuan got off his horse, glanced at the green hills in the distance under the dusk, and let out a long breath.

At this point, he was exhausted.

"How long will it take to reach Tianwan City?" Jade Snake, who was following behind him, also got off his horse and asked.

"If you hurry up, it will take three more days."

"But horses can't take it."

Bei Liyuan was very anxious, and wanted to go to Tianwan City early, but he couldn't eat hot tofu. At least he had to consider the limited horsepower, and he couldn't exhaust his precious war horse to death in order to hurry.

"Not only the horses can't bear it, but once they get here, they can't go any further at night. The front is Honglin Ridge." Bi Snake said lightly.

"I know that there are several groups of bandits near Honglin Ridge, usually at night." Bei Liyuan stood up straight and ordered the soldiers to set up camp.

"Dignified and dignified, there are so many bandits. It's no wonder that the world is not chaotic."

Bi Snake felt another Daqi again, a Daqi covered under the flourishing atmosphere of flowers blooming brocade and fire cooking oil, no wonder she always saw Ziyan so busy, this kind of Daqi was like an old ship , there are holes everywhere, the emperor and others just took a hammer and nails and beat on the boat to repair it.

"Those people are farmers during the busy farming season, and become bandits when they are free, so that's why the court can't wipe them out." Bei Liyuan said with a wry smile.

"If everyone can live a good life, how many people will rebel! This can't be explained by the toughness of the people, or the lack of power in the government." Bi Snake said with a frown.

While the two were talking, the camp had already started to be set up.

At this time, on Honglin Ridge, a group of bandits came down the mountain.

"Brother, are you really going to go down the mountain to rob the road? Why do I feel something is wrong." The man who spoke was a rough man in black. His name was Big Hammer. He seemed very rough, but in fact, he was as careful as a hair. .

"It's not the first time to rob Dao. It's been said over there. This time it's a big fat sheep. Can't we 500 people take it?"

The eldest brother is Zhang Yan, the leader of one of the three bandits in Honglinling.

Zhang Yan is a man who escaped from the north, tall and mighty, resourceful, brave and powerful.

"Besides, if we don't slaughter a fat sheep, will our brothers still have food to eat?" Zhang Yan stared at the big hammer.

"Brother, am I worried? I feel that I am very reliable. I have been relied on several times in the past to avert danger." The big iron hammer stroked the beard on his chin, obviously a little unconvinced.

"Then according to you, what should we do? Forget it this time?" Zhang Yan asked back.

"Brother, I don't want to give up, but, I thought, shouldn't we be more cautious? There were so many kings and generals in Honglinling before, but now? Only the three of us are still alive."

Big Hammer no longer laughed and laughed, but looked slightly sad.

"Then according to what you said, let's not go out this time, let's test it out first, and send out scouts."

Zhang Yan was thoughtful, and after he finished speaking, he waved to two fast-legged men and asked them to explore the way.

Their cottage is a merger of many villages.

In the past, there were dozens of bandits of different sizes in Honglinling. In recent years, under the strangulation of the imperial court, the number of bandits has become smaller and smaller. In order to survive, they have to unite.

Big Iron Hammer used to be from another village, but he came later. He has experienced a lot.

After Tan Ma went out, Zhang Yan and his party lurked in the forest, and they all kept quiet without speaking.

After a while, an owl hooting was heard.

This was the agreed call, and Zhang Yan's expression tightened.

"No, the big hammer is right, this time it encountered an iron plate."

The signal of this agreement is to tell them that the idea ahead is difficult, and brothers should not show their faces, but the specific situation is still unknown.

Zhang Yan didn't dare to send anyone over there, so she could only continue to wait.

After waiting for a while, just as his heart sank a little bit, two familiar figures appeared in front of him one after the other.

"Master, it's a good thing we didn't go there." The two detectives who appeared had panicked faces, with lingering fears in their hearts.

"How do you say that?" Zhang Yan asked suspiciously.

"It's miserable, that scene is really miserable!"

"This time it's not just us, the other two families also showed up. They didn't have as many people as us, but each family also had about 200 people. Unexpectedly, the one they wanted to rob was a group of sergeants, or the last The elite ones, all of them took out hidden weapons in the shape of black pipes, and a burst of firecrackers sounded, and the two families suffered heavy casualties, only a small half of them fled into the forest."

The two scouts were obviously terrified. Their faces were pale, without a trace of blood, and they looked quite scary.

"What kind of hidden weapon in the shape of a pipe...that's called a firecracker!" The big hammer spat on the ground.

"Big Iron Hammer, have you ever seen a firecracker?" Zhang Yan asked, he had only heard of the name of the firearm, but had never seen the real thing.

"Yes, I was at the pier last year. I saw a Western monk, and he had a firecracker in his hand." Big Hammer said in a rough voice.

"It seems that you have gained a lot of knowledge by going to work at the dock," Zhang Yan said.

"Isn't this the wharf where you told me to see if you can do water transportation?" Big Iron Hammer said.

"I remember..."

"Brothers, let's go back." Zhang Yan waved his hand.

He looks calm, maintaining the image of leading the big boss on the surface, but his heart is not as calm as the surface.

If you walk too much at night, you will run into a ghost sooner or later.

This bandit, how can he do it for a lifetime!
This time luck is good, but the other two are unlucky to be fooled. Who can be sure that it won't be their turn next time.

However, quitting bandits is not a one-sentence matter. Bandits like them can still exist until now, and there are people behind them.

Whether to be a bandit or not is no longer something he can stop doing if he just says he doesn't do it.

On the way back, Zhang Yan had been thinking about how to solve this problem and find a way out for herself, but for a while, she really couldn't see the way forward.

At night, Zhang Yan cleaned up the letterhead on the table, and then lay down on the bed.

But then, the half-closed window was slowly pushed open from the outside.

A black image, like a snake, entered the room from the window and happened to sit on Zhang Yan's chair.

"who!"

Zhang Yan reached out and grabbed the crossbow beside the pillow, turned over and pointed at the figure on the chair.

"Calm down, put down the arrows, I'm not an enemy." It was a woman's voice that spoke.

"You came here uninvited, aren't you an enemy? Tell me your intentions!"

Zhang Yan gave a soft drink.

"Beijing, Yunbie Lane, No. 37."

Seeing that Zhang Yan hadn't put down her weapon and crossbow, the woman casually said a word.
