Chapter 659: Fanwai Heroes And Girls (6)
She has been a doctor for a long time, not to mention Qin Wenyin has a wide range of research, so she also has some medical skills, and since she married Bai Yitang, she has also learned some methods of dealing with trauma.
Therefore, the two people who sent them quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged them. These wound medicines were prepared for them by Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun.
As a result, several people who were seriously injured quickly stopped bleeding, and their lives were not in danger for the time being.
The group did not dare to stop along the way, and supported each other to the next town entrance. After seeing the official guard guarding the town entrance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This is already a border crossing, and it is also close to the White Tiger Stream, so a team of soldiers was stationed in the town, not many, only two small flags, only twenty people, divided into two groups to guard the town entrance.
They naturally couldn’t fight against the mountain bandits in the White Tiger Stream, so they were only used for investigating news and reporting.
If the mountain bandits really dare to attack, they have to send someone to report to the Ningxia Guardian, and then organize the residents of the town to defend.
Because there have been incidents of mountain bandits looting the townspeople, and this place is close to the border, even ordinary people are very sturdy. Even if they cannot defeat the mountain bandits, they can persist for a while until the guards of Ningxiawei come to rescue. .
The merchants want to come here to do business, and naturally they have inquired about some of the risks along the way. The tea merchant who reminded Bai Yitang saw that he took a second look at the soldiers guarding the town entrance, so he could not help but explain.
At that time, his convoy was not far from Bai Yitang’s carriage. The two brothers and several of their buddies were not injured. It was because Bai Yitang brought down all the bandits who could reach the crossbow arrows along the way. Just add it later.
Tea merchants feel that they have discerning eyes and pearls, and they are more polite to Bai Yitang.
Qin Wenyin also heard it in the carriage, and couldn’t help asking: “These mountain bandits are so rampant, doesn’t the imperial court care?”
The seriously injured person who rode their carriage said: “Collaboration between officials and bandits?”
“Xiongtai, you have misunderstood the local yamen,” the tea merchant said quickly: “I don’t know if it goes further, but the two county magistrates have sent people to suppress the bandits, even the general of Ningxia Wei. Hundreds of soldiers came, but to no avail.”
“The White Tiger Stream is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are high mountains and dense forests on both sides. When people drill into it, let alone soldiers and yamen, even hunters who hunt in the mountains for a living can’t catch up with those mountain bandits. Don’t say they can’t find them. Even if the trail is found, once they are scattered into the woods, you will not be able to catch them.”
“So this mountain bandit has been suppressed for many years, but it is still not clean.”
“Is it for the common people to send money to suppress bandits?” Another seriously injured patient hummed: “The county magistrate in our hometown is like this. He suppresses bandits every year, but he can’t always suppress bandits, but the money for suppressing bandits every year is must come out.”
The tea merchant shook his head, “The two county magistrates combined with the Ningxia Wei garrison to suppress bandits five times, but they have only received two bandits, and not much.”
The tea merchant looked around and said in a low voice, “I heard that this time Ningxia Wei opened a mutual market, the general of Ningxia Wei also made a lot of effort, just to attract merchants to collect money for bandit suppression, together with taxes. Prepare food and grass, this time we must go into the mountains to slaughter these bandits.”
Bai raised his eyebrows, handed the bamboo tube in his hand to the tea merchant, and asked, “How did Xiongtai know such a confidential matter?”
The tea merchant said in a low voice, “My brother said, I prepared so many tea leaves as early as possible this time, because my brother reported to me in advance, and then I knew that Ningxia Wei was going to open a mutual market. My brother Even though it is just a general banner, it is still possible to ponder what is going on above.”
The tea merchant looked at Bai Yitang meaningfully and said, “Since a few years ago, the general has been posting announcements asking for the appointment of talented people. My brother said that the general is looking for someone who can enter the mountains. As long as you have the ability, the general will All are used, and the salary is quite a lot.”
The reason why the tea merchant told Bai Yitang this was because he thought he was good at kung fu. If he wanted to, he would introduce him to his cousin, who would then recommend him. , that is, he also showed a face.
It will only be more convenient to do business in Ningxia Wei in the future.
If Bai Yitang is not happy, then he should gossip. Anyway, this matter is no longer a secret, it’s just hidden from ordinary people and ordinary business travelers.
Even his cousin, the general flag, knows the general’s mind, how can others not guess it?
Seeing Bai Yitang’s thoughtful appearance, Qin Wenyin couldn’t help reaching out to hold him.
Baitang returned to his senses, turned his head and smiled at her slightly, then held her hand and said, “I need to check at the entrance of the town, we will be here in a while, you can rest for a while, and I will call you when you arrive at the inn.”
The merchants couldn’t help being curious when they saw their loving appearance. When they saw Qin Wenyin go in, they asked in a low voice, “Master Bai, when you bring Mrs. Bai out, are you looking for relatives or visiting friends?”
Bai Yitang smiled and said, “We came out to do business.”
The tea merchant choked.
“Why, it doesn’t look like it?” Bai Yitang glanced at him sideways.
The tea merchant laughed and said, “Master Bai is joking. If you two go out to do business, you should bring some goods. Besides, you two don’t look like people who can do business.”
The tea merchant looked at the four-headed livestock in their house. Although he didn’t know much about the laws of Great Chu, he also knew that not everyone could afford two horses.
Bai Yitang smiled slightly, he knew this was the result. With this carriage, even if they don’t reveal their identities, anyone who knows some rules knows that they are not easy to mess with.
The tea merchant saw him smiling and didn’t answer. He felt more and more that their identities were not simple, but they didn’t know how their identities compared with the generals of Ningxia Wei, and whether they were willing to take action and leave some favors.
The answer, of course, is yes.
Entering the town entrance, Bai Yitang found the best inn, uh, well, it was actually one of the two inns to stay in.
Looking at the things in the room, Bai Yitang said to Qin Wenyin, “Go to the car to sleep at night. I’ll have someone bring you hot water to bathe.”
Qin Wenyin also felt that the accommodation conditions in the car were better than those in the inn, but the inn also had the advantages of an inn, they could take a hot bath.
So Qin Wenyin responded.
After washing and cleaning, the two of them went down to eat together.
Although this town is small, the food is still very good. Qin Wenyin likes to taste different food from different places, so even if the food looks rough, she tastes it carefully, then writes down the delicious food and plans to eat it the next day. try.
The couple slept in the carriage at night.
Bai Yitang did not park the carriage over the stables, but pulled it to the backyard and directly occupied the courtyard of the inn. The innkeeper turned a blind eye to the carriage that obstructed the view because of the extra fifty cents he gave. when invisible.
Bai Yitang locked the car door, only opened a slit in the right window, put down the gauze curtain and hugged Qin Wenyin to sleep.
Qin Wenyin couldn’t sleep, she poked his chest and asked, “Do you want to suppress the bandits?”
Bai Yitang replied softly and said, “It’s not easy for a carriage like ours to get out of the customs, and I want to get a special customs clearance document from General Yuan, so that it will be more convenient for us to reach Tatar.”
The Tatars have just opened a mutual market in Ningxia, and they are more polite to General Yuan. If they have the special customs clearance documents of General Yuan, they will definitely do better when they enter the Tatars.
Qin Wenyin was silent for a while before saying: “But you are not familiar with mountains and forests, even if you are strong in martial arts…”
Bai Yitang reached out and patted her and said, “I know, so we still need a guide, this is just my plan, maybe General Yuan sees his uncle and Qinghe, and will give you the customs clearance documents without my efforts. what?”
Qin Wenyin pursed her lips slightly, knowing that he was avoiding the important and comforting her lightly, he thought it was impossible to suppress the bandits just because of the customs clearance.
However, Qin Wenyin thought for a while, and did not stop him again.
She lay on his chest and felt the powerful heart beat, and secretly said: Isn’t she fond of him because of his chivalrous heart?
Although he has already washed his hands with gold, but in the past few years on the road, he will always take care of the injustice, and there is no one time he really stands by.
He washed away the spirit of the rivers and lakes, but he did not wash away the chivalrous heart.
Bai Yitang gently patted her shoulder, coaxing her to sleep like a child.
Qin Wenyin was quite funny, but she also fell asleep slowly under his rhythmic beating.
Bai Yitang opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the car. The breeze blew in from the gap in the window, bringing in the coolness of the night.
Bai Yitang couldn’t help hugging Qin Wenyin and pulled the quilt up.
Da Chu is now generally regarded as a country that is prosperous and peaceful, but no matter how well the country develops, there will always be poor villages, corrupt officials, and even bad people.
They go from place to place, bandits, robbers, and even corrupt officials are not uncommon.
Bai Yitang has always walked by, at most, when writing a letter to his apprentice, he will mention a word or two, and his apprentice will tell the apprentice’s son-in-law, and the apprentice’s son-in-law is a celebrity in front of the emperor. …
He seldom returned to take care of it after the incident, because the people he saw were not bloody.
Those bandits, robbers, and even corrupt officials are not enough to harm the people, and they may even have unspeakable difficulties.
But the group of bandits I saw today was different. When they first met, the **** aura almost overflowed from their bodies, and the brutality in their eyes was undisguised. Such a hostile aura required many human lives to accumulate.
It’s okay to say he can’t bear it or meddle in his own business, in short, he just doesn’t like them.
Bai Yitang thought about the countermeasures, and quickly fell asleep, but it was just a hurdle, and it was just digging.
Bai Yitang got up the next day and started to fill the bucket with water, and then prepared some fresh ingredients for lunch before going to have breakfast with Qin Wenyin.
When met the tea merchant, Bai Yitang also greeted him. The tea merchant swallowed the buns and hurriedly asked, “When is Bai Daxia going to leave?”
“Let’s go in a while.”
The tea merchant was stunned for a moment, “Don’t take a day off?”
Bai Yitang shook his head, “It’s only a day’s journey from here to Ningxia Wei. I’ll set off in a while, and I’ll be there in the afternoon, so why stay for another day?”
The tea merchant then remembered that Bai Yitang didn’t bring any goods, no one was injured, even the carriage was fine, so he could just leave.
The tea merchant was slightly disappointed. Although they were all right yesterday, there were some problems with the carriage, and yesterday’s carpenter had already been robbed, and they had to wait in line to repair the car, and I was afraid that they would not be able to leave until tomorrow.
And other business trips are even worse, either the car is broken or someone is injured, and they have to stay for a day.
So in the end, only Bai Yitang and a few merchants who carried the burdens and pushed the trolleys left.
A few of them dared to go on the road. First, the official road from Ningxia Wei to Ningxia Wei has always been peaceful, and there are no bandits. Second, it is because Bai Yitang and the others also left. will be safer.
The carriage can reach Ningxiawei in one day, but it takes three days for people to get there. Even if they follow the motorcade behind, those who walk on their feet will be left behind.
It is a good luck to be able to unite to cross the White Tiger Stream.
