Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 442: Tax bank robbery
Chapter 442 Tax and Bank Robbery
Zhao Changhe arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain to stay overnight.
Looking around, almost everyone has basic physical training, and they are generally strong, but they are only at the level of gym enthusiasts. Not everyone has the foundation and qualifications in martial arts.
Another big constraint is nutrition.
The poor in literature and rich in martial arts. Those from large sects who are admitted to the mountain gate will obviously have a better supply of nutrients. Those who are not included in the gate wall can only be self-sufficient. In today's world, it is not easy for ordinary people to be self-sufficient and have enough to eat. Supplying the nutrients needed for martial arts It's very difficult.
Because this is the territory of the Shenhuang Sect, it is generally relatively wealthy. It is not because the land here is so fertile, but simply because the government does not dare to search too much here.
As long as they are not messed with, hard-working people can be self-sufficient.
Zhao Changhe ate three large bowls of pork rice noodles in the inn. He felt that it was much more delicious than the inexplicable food Zhai Muzhi treated him to.
It was getting dark after dinner. I stood in the yard and looked out. I always felt that the town had a solemn atmosphere. If I opened my ears and listened, I could vaguely feel the sound of a large number of people gathering at the foot of the mountain in the distance. In the night Came faintly below.
This kind of movement makes Zhao Changhe a little sensitive. After time traveling, he often shuttled back and forth in wars, so he was very familiar with it. He could be sure that a war was about to break out with 80% confidence.
This is not an invasion, but an internal gathering to attack others?
But look at the inn, from the boss to the waiter, they all look like they don’t know anything.
Li Shentong said that most of the towns at the foot of the mountain are their properties.
Zhao Changhe was holding a stone chain in the yard and walking on his horse. The more he tied his horse, the more he couldn't stand, and his heart was scratching.
The Shenhuang Sect doesn’t look like a robber, so whether it’s a gang war or a town fight, it seems like you should help out a little bit?
Zhao Changhe put down the stone lock, took advantage of the night and swept out of the town, quietly following the sound.
Sure enough, he saw a large group of people, majestic and orderly... Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and he recognized that the old man at the head of the group was the one he passed by when he was leaving just now.
It seemed that the entire army had been assembled, and the old man led the crowd away. Zhao Changhe hesitated for a moment, then followed quietly.
After marching for about an hour, they had already left the Shenhuang Sect. But this area is also full of mountains. There are mountains everywhere. There is a team of officers and soldiers escorting the cart carefully walking on the mountain road. You can hear the officers shouting: "Hurry up, go forward to Emei to rest!"
Before he finished speaking, thousands of arrows were fired from the left and right, and the old man led the crowd to charge out.
I thought your gangs were fighting to rob the army?
Judging from the fact that Li Si'an dared to choose this road to transport goods, at least there were no rumors of people's business travelers being robbed, otherwise Li Si'an would not have said anything. That is only for the government...
Zhao Changhe looked at the sky and thought for a while. The fear of the people of Shu County towards Zhai Muzhi and what Li Si'an said came to mind. He turned and left without looking at the result.
Help the Shenhuang Sect? It's not necessary. It's impossible for ordinary officers and soldiers to defeat the Shenhuang Sect. My status is sensitive, so I pretend not to know just to help. Help Zhai Muzhi? It's better to go home and walk on horseback. I'm not a king.
I didn’t expect that Situ Xiao, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a rebel. However, the Shenhuang Sect has never heard of these things, which means that it was done more covertly in the past, unlike now where it has become more and more blatant, doing it at the foot of a mountain so close to my home.
No wonder, in the beginning, Wan Zhuang was a bit shy about Li Shentong... I have received some clues from Ganqing, but I am not sure if he is a traitor. I am worried that if I invite him to fight Maitreya, I will betray him...
But there are differences between rebels and rebels... The Four Symbols Sect is also a rebel. You believe in Suzaku, are you showing your feelings?
At the top of the mountain, Li Shentong stood under the moon with his hands behind his hands, looking at Zhao Changhe taking off his cigarette and going back to sleep, and smiled slightly.
…………
Two days later, Li Si'an's motorcade arrived at the foot of the mountain town covered in dust.
The town is not big. Not far after entering, I heard loud cheers from the center.
Li Si'an squeezed over in confusion and saw that Zhao Changhe's upper body was bare, showing his strong muscles, and he was walking around holding a huge stone lion. It seemed to weigh at least five or six hundred kilograms... Suddenly he threw it up, then dropped it and caught it steadily, his face not red and his heart not beating.
The surrounding crowd of onlookers shouted like chicken blood: "Okay!"
It was as lively and exciting as the Chinese New Year.
Li Si'an folded his hands speechlessly: "Brother Zhao, where are you doing the show?"
You are the thirty-seventh person on the list, a secret-level warrior, and the owner of the Blood Shura Body. Do you think you are awesome when you show off your power with a group of townspeople?
"I am exercising, what do you know." Zhao Changhe put down the stone lion and walked over with a smile: "Have a meal when you come? Eat and leave."
Had it not been for waiting for Li Si'an's motorcade, Zhao Changhe would have run away that night. He was worried that Yue Hongling would have no time to stay here. But he also knew that it was basically impossible to find him on his own. Outside the Great Wall, he was just lucky and happened to encounter him by accident when everyone was looking for Shanxi merchants to cause trouble. How could Yue Hongling have any clues here if he deliberately hid?
We can only wait and sharpen the knife before chopping wood.
If you have to wait, you might as well practice your physical fitness. In fact, I have never tried my own strength limit. It is really contrary to the principle of physical exercise. In this atmosphere of national fitness, I quickly picked it up. He returned to what a body-forging warrior should look like.
The townspeople invited Li Si'an and his convoy to dinner very enthusiastically: "Are you friends of Shao Xia Zhao? Shao Xia Zhao is indeed worthy of being a top man. With this strength, tsk, I think he can kill a cow with one punch!" ”
Li Si'an twitched the corner of his mouth: "A master of internal strength is not showy, he can kill a cow with one punch, so why show off his strength."
"What's so great about that? You're just like a girl!" The townspeople looked at Li Si'an's delicate appearance and felt dull for a moment. They ran to Zhao Changhe again: "Brother Zhao, Zhao Changhe Brother, show me your skills again!”
Li Si'an couldn't laugh or cry: "You had a lot of fun, right?"
Zhao Changhe put on his clothes: "Isn't this waiting for you... Having said that, I have indeed forgotten what physical training is, and I really regard myself as an internal force practitioner... These two days have quite a sense of returning to the origin. I feel stronger.”
Li Si'an said speechlessly: "Is it stronger after two days?"
“It’s not a matter of two days, it’s that I have found a foundation that is more suitable for my practice.”
Li Si'an still didn't quite understand and said: "There are many strange things in Miao territory. Maybe you can find a solution to your meridian problem there."
"I hope so. After all, the best way is to cultivate both internal and external aspects."
"Have you heard? Recently, a batch of tax money sent by the Xuanwei Division was intercepted... Shu County is shaken. I think the government and the public will be shaken soon. Officers and soldiers will be here soon to investigate." Li Si'an looked at the situation in confusion: "The incident happened very close to here, right? The people here aren't panicking at all?"
As for what they did... Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "There are people guarding the foot of the Shenhuang Sect. It's not like ordinary places where they are afraid of officials. Anyway, they didn't do it, so why are you panicking?"
Li Si'an lowered his voice: "They really didn't do it?"
He paused and glanced at a passing town citizen. The town citizen had a bandage on his shoulder, obviously suffering from a new injury.
Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Of course not. I have been living here for the past two days. Do you know if there is anything abnormal? Tsk, why do you see people getting injured? I have seen people being caught by dogs."
Li Si'an is a secret agent of the Demon Suppression Department, and his eyes are really sharp... He has to hide it for them. If anything happens, I'll discuss it with Wan Zhuang privately.
Li Si'an looked at him thoughtfully: "Hey, I have another identity, and I am also a thief."
Zhao Changhe said expressionlessly: "Just say this to Fifth Master."
What a broken world, everyone has a lot of vests, and suddenly I feel that the masks of the Four Symbols Sect are too relevant...
Well, I also have a vest.
Zhao Changhe squatted back in the car and put on his royal beard again: "Let's go... Although I have gained a lot from this trip, I am worried about Hong Ling... If I don't go to Miao territory, I will explode. ."
