Water Margin people

Chapter 226
At noon, the sky was cloudless, the sun was hot, the heat was steaming, the dust was blowing, the heat wave rose from the ground, and thousands of mountains were burning.

Yang Zhizheng led the team to walk on a mound. Under the scorching sun, the ground was scorching hot. Eleven soldiers were carrying heavy gold and silver burdens. They were sweating profusely. Their clothes were already wet with sweat. It was almost bubbling too.

When they reached the top of the mound, they saw a pine forest. The soldiers couldn't bear it when they saw the shade of the tree.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

Seeing that the soldiers were so furious, Yang Zhi shouted, waving the cane in his hand.

"Tiha, the sun is so poisonous, it's already noon, it's time to rest!"

The soldiers are really unbearable in the heat, now that they have the shade of a tree to rest, they are not willing to move, besides, it is already noon, it is time to rest.

"Don't you even look at this place! There is wasteland in front and back, and there is only a piece of woodland here. What if there are thieves hiding in it? Get up and hurry!"

Yang Zhi swung the cane to beat the soldiers.

"To die in the sun is to die, to be shot to death is also to die, if you have the ability, kill us!"

Those soldiers were no longer afraid of being beaten too much, and they all shouted that they would not leave even if they were beaten all over the floor.

"Yang Tiji, let them take a rest when the sun is so poisonous. People in this barren mountain will not be able to leave if they get tired."

The old man wiped his sweat and said pantingly, it is easy to pass out due to heatstroke when driving in the sun in this weather, if a few soldiers are down, they will be stuck on the road.

"What do you guys know? The name of this place is Huangnigang. There are many thieves cutting trails on weekdays. Now the weather is hot and the merchants are sparse. The thieves have no one to rob. How can they rest here? Get up!"

Yang Zhi didn't care so much, the terrain was wrong and he had to leave early.

Yang Zhi beat him for a while, but the soldiers were still unwilling to get up.

"Yang Tijutsu, where is the strong man who cut the path in the Qingping world? It's noon now, so it's okay to take a break!"

The two Marquis Yu also spoke to persuade them.

"Don't get up and eat my twenty army sticks!"

Yang Zhili ignored the two Marquis Yu and pointed at the soldiers to threaten them.

"How dare you! You're just a leader. You walked empty-handed along the way, and we carried a load of hundreds of catties. Not only did you not show compassion, you beat or scolded us all the way. You are the king of heaven, and you don't treat us as human beings? You want to kill us! We fight you!"

Eleven military men jumped up, holding their shoulder poles and glaring at Yang Zhi, shouting, they have had enough of this journey, no matter how strict the officers were in the past, they were not one-tenth as strict as Yang Zhi, if they endured them any longer, they would be Can't live in Tokyo anymore.

"You bastards dare to rebel? If you want to die, I will fulfill you!"

Yang Zhi drew out the simple knife and pointed at the eleven soldiers and cursed.

"stop!"

The old man roared and rushed between the two sides.

"Yang Tiha, what are you doing? Your military order is to rest for an hour at noon, and now it's noon, so you should rest according to the order!"

The old man looked at Yang Zhi and said, he had already reminded Yang Zhi that such strictness would change sooner or later, and now it is as expected.

"The boss is in charge, you judge, this Yang Zhi has been beaten or scolded all the way, we are pigs and dogs, we don't want to be treated like this, we don't pick this thing, he picks it all by himself to go to Tokyo if he is capable, we Go back to the Daming Mansion and ask the magistrate to accept the crime!"

All the soldiers looked at the old man and said, they knew that it must be a felony to go back with a pick, but rather than being beaten to death by Yang Zhi, it would be better to go back and be punished, their crime is nothing more than a thorn in the side.

"Don't be angry, this birthday guide is very important, and I thank you all for your hard work, as long as you arrive in Tokyo safely, you will be rewarded!"

Seeing that the soldiers were emotionally agitated, the old man quickly calmed down, money is a trivial matter, but birthdays are important, Taishi Cai's birthday, how could the daughter and son-in-law's congratulatory gifts not come?This is not only a piece of money, but also a heart, and it is also a face in front of outsiders. It was lost once last year, and it must not happen again this year.

"I'm afraid that if I have money, I won't spend my life!"

The soldiers were a little moved when they heard the reward, but they still stared at Yang Zhi.

"Yang Tiha, you also won the martial arts exam, how come you don't know how to be sympathetic to the soldiers! Although I am just a grandpa, I have seen leading generals in the Taishi's mansion, not even a township. You criticize the soldiers here, you are so tyrannical, even the bandits in the mountains can't compare!"

The old man pointed to Yang Zhi and said, along the way, he reminded Yang Zhi to be sympathetic to the soldiers many times, but Yang Zhi just didn't listen, and now he really mutinied, if the soldiers were to give up their picks, how would they give them their birthdays?How many loads can Yang Zhi carry?
"I don't care, you are from the Grand Master's Mansion. I don't know that this Jianghu is dangerous and strong people are everywhere. This birthday outline is very important, so you can't just stay here."

Yang Zhi took Pu Dao and looked at Old Duguan and said.

"Where can you hide when the thieves are coming? On and off the job, where can you not do it? If the thieves come, you still have to rely on them to protect the burden? Can you deal with the thieves alone?"

Old Duguan pointed to those soldiers and said to Yang Zhi.

Just when Yang Zhi was in a dilemma, a group of people came down from the post, pushing several Jiangzhou carts, and were quickly heading to the post.

"Isn't this the villain coming!"

Yang Zhi blocked the way of those people with a plain knife.

"Aren't you gangsters on the post?"

Everyone everywhere drew out their knives and looked at Yang Zhi.

"Take it back, you are the villains, right?"

Yang Zhi stared at those people and said, he saw all the people who came with strange appearances, some were strong men, some had fierce faces, some were bookish, and there was even one with a birthmark on his face like himself. what a nice guy.

"We are merchants from Haozhou. We sell dates to Tokyo. The weather is hot. There is only a forest on the hill, so we want to avoid it."

Chao Gai looked at Yang Zhi and said, he sized up the group of people, except for Yang Zhi, there seemed to be no troublesome people, and he already had a plan in his heart to snatch them away and then silence them.

"Who are you and why are you standing in the way!"

Wu Yong saw what Chao Gai was thinking, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It turned out to be a merchant."

Yang Zhi withdrew his knife and got out of the way.

"We all know that the sun is scorching, and people have to rest when pushing carts. How can I bear the burden?"

When the soldiers saw the merchants coming to enjoy the coolness in the woods, they all shouted.

"Sit down, sit down!"

The old man said to the soldiers.

"Yang Tijutsu, are you still on your way?"

The old man looked at Yang Zhi who had returned and asked.

"Let's rest, it's useless to make trouble, let's go when it's cooler."

Yang Zhi knew that he couldn't call the soldiers anymore, so he had no choice but to speak, and there were so many that no one cared to speak from them, otherwise he might have already started his actions now, and this would not end well.

Seeing that Yang Zhi was silent, the soldiers all found a comfortable place to lean against a tree to enjoy the cool air.

Chao Gai and the others rested beside them, and a few of them laughed and talked. Some interesting things on the road aroused the interest of Junhanmen, and they interrupted to ask a few words from time to time.

Yang Zhi didn't hear any problems, so he was completely relieved, and really believed that these people were passing merchants.
