Chapter 114: Respective Calculations(1/2)
The sound of horse hooves went from far to near, and the crowds were wrapped in smoke and dust and stopped two feet away from Zhao Rang and Jin Sanliang.
Zhao Rang glanced at him briefly and saw that there were about fifty people opposite him.
More than fifty people and the horse team are no longer the size of ordinary robbers. And judging from the momentum shown by these people, they must be a well-trained team, which is no less than the elite escorts of the Golden Bell Escort Agency.
Zhao Rang gently lifted the corner of his clothes, which allowed him to draw his sword at a faster speed.
One point faster, one point more safety.
Although Jin Sanliang told him not to rush to do it, in Zhao Rang's view, the current situation was definitely not something that could be passed by just scattering some money.
When the smoke and dust on the other side dissipated, Jin Sanliang stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said in a loud voice:
"In the Golden Bell Escort Agency, Jin Sanliang, there is no wind or waves in this Great Gobi Desert, and no waves can be seen. I wonder which road are you taking? Which shirt do you wear? Which bowl of rice are you holding?"
Zhao Rang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
There are really few opportunities to hear such an authentic Jianghu cut!
Walking, dressing, and eating are all alludes to the business that is done opposite.
Just like the escort agency, there are many rules for escorts.
Some only walk on the waterway and rob the boatmen, and they are water bandits. Some entrenched in the mountains and charge "traffic fees" one by one from passers-by, and they are mountain bandits. The bandits do not go into the water, and the bandits do not go up the mountain, which is a conventional rule.
As for those who specialize in robbing families, killing people, setting fires, and washing and escorting caravans, they have already gone beyond this category. There must be a large number of people and put in a very strong effort.
"The deputy chief escort leader of Kim Jong Escort Agency, Kim Sanliang?"
The man in the middle of the robber opposite looked at Jin Sanliang and said.
"Do you recognize the hero?"
The robber smiled and said:
"How could you not recognize it? Deputy General Jin's escort leader is famous all over the world, but he is much fatter than when I met you last time. It seems that the escort agency's life is still very leisurely!"
This person talked very seriously about the words "pair" and "leisure", as if he was deliberately doing it to stimulate Jin Sanliang's emotions.
As he finished speaking, Zhao Rang noticed that Jin Sanliang was full of energy, but soon he stopped, calmed down and spoke slowly:
"Since it's an old friend, everything is easy to say!"
Immediately after the conversation, I said:
"The next trip is tight and the footwork is long, so we can't greet the heroes more. This is five hundred taels of silver. Just think that my Jin is not well-off, so I apologize to invite you to drink!"
After saying that, he turned his head and signaled Zhao Rang to hand him a cloth bag tied to the side of the carriage.
After Zhao Rang untied the cloth bag, he poured out all the silver inside in front of the robbers and shook it clean. Then he packed it piece by piece and threw the pocket over.
Jin Sanliang couldn't help but approve of Zhao Rang's actions.
If you throw the bag directly over, you will definitely not touch it.
Who knows if your bag contains silver or poisonous firearms?
But if you look clearly, you can avoid this misunderstanding.
But the bandits didn't even look at the pocket of white silver. Instead, they picked it up with a scabbard and threw it back. Their strength was very good, and they happened to fall into the gap between Jin Sanliang and Zhao Rang.
"Deputy General Jin's escort leader, only 500 taels of silver is only enough to send one person."
This is very straightforward.
It means that if you have to pave the way with silver, everyone in the fifty people present will have to 500 taels.
Jin Sanliang could endure this kind of politeness for a while, but he would not satisfy the other party's desire without any bottom line. He immediately looked at him and said:
"It seems that you want to fight head-on!"
The person on the opposite side laughed loudly when he heard this:
"I am not that ignorant at the Golden Bell Escort Agency. I want to fight head-on with the No. 1 Kung Fu practice."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Sanliang was a little confused.
The other party neither wants money nor wants to do anything. Could it be that he is going to waste like this?
"I want only one!"
Zhao Rang subconsciously looked at the Taoist priests surrounded in the center. Except for one of the thin and short Taoist priests who were a little nervous, the rest seemed to be indifferent to everything.
However, since the other party had clarified the conditions, Jin Sanliang still asked:
"Except for the Taoist men in Baiheshan, the other guys and bodyguards are all unparalleled people. I wonder who has such a great face that can make the heroes think so much!"
The robber in the lead raised his arm, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Zhao Rang and said:
"It's him!"
Jin Sanliang looked at Zhao Rang incredibly.
Previously, he only thought that Zhao Rang was tall and heroic. In his every move, he had a style that other tourists in the world did not have. He should have a little background, so he was more polite to him based on the principle of not offending and being able to have good friends.
People who eat the business of a marquis are most afraid of not having enough friends, and there are many friends and multiple ways!
If Zhao Rang was a hired gangster and had paid the rewards, and if he had met the other person to hand over his hand, he would hand over it.
But after thinking about it, Jin Sanliang felt that he would never be reckless before he could find out Zhao Rang's identity and background. If he commits a serious person or force, it would not be easy to even the entire Kim Jong Escort Agency. He simply be tough and said:
"Although this brother is not from my Kim Jong Escort Agency, he is all his brothers when he travels to the same escort. The hero's request is like letting Jin break his own brothers, so he will not be able to obey his fate!"
After hearing this, the robber opposite was silent for a moment before saying again:
"I said Jin Sanliang, are you in a bad head? His master wore such a big cuckold on you back then, and I don't remember it?"
Hearing this, Jin Sanliang turned his head and widened his eyes, looked at Zhao Rang, and asked word by word:
"Are you Shang Shiyi's apprentice?"
Zhao Rang was confused.
Of course he had heard of the name Shang 11. He was a famous third-grade martial arts master in the northern territory. With his own creation of the Eleven Sword Sword Technique, he was known as the King of the Northern Territory Swords.
But Zhao Rang had nothing to do with this man, and had never even met him, let alone become his apprentice.
In desperation, he didn't know how to defend himself, but he heard the robber in the lead say again:
"Look at his knife!"
Zhao Rang's Western Regions sabre was obtained after killing Mr. Zheng's saber in Ye Sanniang's inn.
Jin Sanliang didn't pay attention before, but now he looked closely and found that the knife had no scabbard and was hanging around his waist.
Everyone knows that Shang Shiyi used a Western Region saber without scabbards.
On the way from Baihe Mountain to Yangguan, there were people talking about the successor of the sword king who had just emerged. He said that on the first day he entered the world, he killed all the water bandits entrenched in Taishang Hexi for more than 20 years. And like his master, he used a Western Region saber without scabbards.
"I am not Shang Shiyi's apprentice."
Zhao Rang finally came to his senses and explained.
Jin Sanliang obviously didn't believe it.
The horse hanging around his waist without scabbards is ironclad evidence and is more useful than any explanation.
How many people in the world would carry a knife without scabbards? Then they just happened to be hired by the Golden Clock Escort Agency as a gangster and went to the Western Regions to escort?
This coincidence cannot be said to be none, but it does not exist at all!
Jin Sanliang's eyes when he looked at Zhao Rang changed a few moments.
How could he forget that thing from many years ago?
Such a thing, as long as you are a man, you will never forget it until you die!
But Jin Sanliang looked at the Golden Bell Escort Agency vest that Zhao Rang was wearing, then looked at the raids on the carriage behind him and the group of Taoist priests from Baiheshan. Then he sighed heavily and said to the robbers opposite him:
"Success or death?"
The robber in the lead was slightly stunned.
The rules of the world are that when they pass, they choose one person to fight alone. When they pass their lives, they all come forward and fight in a melee.
After weighing the pros and cons, the robber in the lead snorted coldly:
"Okay! Today I'll treat it as a way to give Kim Jong Escort Agency a favor, but this escort will always be delivered!"
After saying that, the man pulled the reins tightly, turned the horse's head, and the horse's hooves pedaled into thick smoke and dust.
When the corpses saw the robbers preparing to leave, they all relaxed and returned to their sheaths.
"careful!"
Zhao Rang suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately afterwards, my body was shortened, and my clothes flew away. The Western Regions sabre without scabbards on my waist was already in my hand, and more than a dozen slashes were slashed directly in front of me.
The blade light condensed but did not dissipate, and condensed into an airtight net in the air, passing through the cage forward.
Even smoke and dust are no exception.
The gravel was cut into smaller particles, and the overflowing range became larger under the swelling of the knife force.
