The fat man's internal strength was extremely strong, which had already left those Mingjiao disciples helpless.
With the battle, Ziqin also integrated the internal power of Yunji Qizhuan with the special effects of Taizu's magical skills, and gradually found his own fighting method. He may not have developed any magical skills, but his combat effectiveness has definitely increased.
Under the attack of the two men, the Mingjiao disciples have gradually shown signs of defeat.
At this time, the participation of this group of cavalry men in the battle became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The number of men in these cavalry teams is not too large, and their skills are not too strong, but each one is extremely tough, and they do not care about life or death when fighting. Those Mingjiao disciples are already ruthless when fighting, but they are still Not as good as these cavalry men.
Ziqin and Fatty fought for a long time but only killed about a dozen people. However, as soon as the man from the cavalry joined the battle, he killed more than a dozen disciples of the Ming Cult.
The leader of the Ming Cult who took the lead suddenly understood that he might not be able to please him today, and he let out a roar.
This whistle sounded, and the Mingjiao disciples immediately receded like the tide.
Ziqin did not chase him, but turned around and saluted the old man with cupped fists.
Although the men of this cavalry team were tough and caused great damage to the Ming Cult, they themselves were also seriously damaged.
After killing more than a dozen Mingjiao disciples, these cavalry men also injured a dozen of them.
At this time, the Mingjiao disciples retreated, but the men in the cavalry immediately helped each other bandage up.
"Why are you so polite? Are you looking down on Sichuan guys? Since you have helped Xuexiang Su, you are my friend from Sichuan. You are a Jianghu person who helps your friends."
The old man looked at Ziqin saluting and waved his hand casually.
??While talking. The men in the horse team had already bandaged each other, and the young man behind the old man arranged for the horses to be settled. However, he did not unload the goods. Instead, he went straight to the counter at the door of the tavern and asked the shopkeeper to arrange food.
Although Ziqin was not very smart, his observation skills were extremely keen. He could see that there was a trace of sadness between the eyebrows of the old man and the young man after the battle.
He also understands that the Ming Cult has great power in the south, so he understands the worries in the hearts of these men.
The most important thing is that Ziqin has guessed the identities of these people, but he also knows why they are so worried.
With such a cavalry and such character, only one group of people has owned it in the southwest and northwest since the Tang Dynasty. caravan.
The caravans have been walking on the Tea Horse Road since the Tang Dynasty. This is a group of men who fight against the world and the people, but they are also a group of men who trade their lives for life.
However, at their core they are businessmen and their lives. The lives of their families. It all depends on the goods on horseback. The biggest taboo of businessmen is to offend others. They, who can be said to be the product of a combination of businessmen, escorts and explorers, are even more taboo about offending people.
However. After all, they had offended someone, and they offended the Ming Cult, which was a huge force in the south.
Although the public security at this time during the Northern Song Dynasty was pretty good, not to the point where strongmen would roam the land a few decades later, it was definitely not too peaceful, especially when these people were walking the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
Jin Daxia¡¯s novels have not touched on it, but Ziqin understands that the Tea Horse Road in this era is definitely not peaceful.
These men from the caravan are risking their lives every time they go business, and every time they are not sure whether they can return home safely. Originally, since they have been walking this road for hundreds of years since the Tang Dynasty, they have also been unable to do so. I have some confidence.
However, this time they have offended the most powerful gang in the entire Song Dynasty except the Beggar Gang. These men do not know whether they can successfully complete the business trip this time.
"Sir, are you going west?"
Ziqin had countless thoughts in his mind, but there was no sign on his face. He just talked to the old man calmly and asked questions seemingly casually.
"Go to Dali."
The old man also answered naturally. They were taking this road. In fact, the most important ones on the Tea Horse Road are the southwest and northwest. There are only a few provinces in these two areas, so there is no need to hide it.
"It's just right. I'm going to Dali too, but I don't know if it's convenient for the old gentleman to let me go with him."
Ziqin smiled casually and said, "Don't say that his destination is Dali, otherwise he will follow the old man on his journey. People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Ziqin is this kind of person. This cavalry team had helped him, not to mention why they helped him, but Ziqin would never be ungrateful.
"My dear, you are afraid that those Mingjiao bastards will come to take revenge, so you want to escort us for a ride. Haha, Sichuan guys are not that useless. This Tea Horse Road is our back garden. If someone is killed on this road, Swallow it, but we deserve it.???
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed again. He pointed at Ziqin with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Although this old man is old, the heroic character in his character is not controlled by age at all. Although he sometimes worries about the overall situation because of his age, more often than not, it still reveals his true nature.
"I am a man from the Jianghu, but I went to Dali to go to Wuliang Mountain, but I did not deliberately want to escort you. Besides, do the men of the caravan need outsiders to escort you? This ancient tea horse road was opened by the ancestors of the caravan. "
Ziqin also smiled loudly and spoke, his words were equally heroic. He could not remember how long it had been since he had been so heroic. It seemed that the people he met a long time ago were either sinister and cunning, or the atmosphere was dignified, but he had not realized it for a long time. This kind of atmosphere.
Suddenly, Ziqin missed Lu Xiaofeng a little. Although the world where that little phoenix lived was extremely dark, there was always a group of people who could smile like the sun in the darkness.
"Wuliangshan, you want to go to Wuliang Sword Sect."
The old man frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he had no words. He just shouted at the young man at the counter of the pub, asking him to buy more food.
A smile appeared on Ziqin's lips. The old man was indeed very cheerful, but he used his actions to tell Ziqin what choice he had made in response to Ziqin's request.
The two looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes, but the fat man let out a long sigh.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked you to join the war."
The fat man let out a long sigh, not shying away from the fact that he had indeed provoked the cavalry to join the battle.
"It's my fault. I almost forgot, you damn fat guy. Hey, I have to join the war because of the rush. You fat guy has your own tricks."
The fat man¡¯s sigh attracted the old man¡¯s attention. Seeing the fat man¡¯s pretending to be bitter, the old man slapped the fat man hard on the shoulder.
But when he saw the fat man's upper body suddenly swaying, his whole face was distorted, but his whole body was trembling with fat from the old man's powerful slap, and he had an instinctive expression of pain.
"Why don't you hide?"
This moment made the old man feel bad. No one knew the force better than the old man. He was really angry that the fat man used words to bully the men of the caravan into fighting. So that shot was shot with almost all my strength. Although the old man is old and has never practiced any internal skills, he has gained considerable strength from running horses all his life.
This full-strength slap is worth at least two to three hundred pounds. The old man could tell that the fat man's martial arts were extraordinary. So I think fat people can use martial arts or dodge. Or take away the strength.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the fat man actually got a slap from the old man.
"I, Deng Baichuan, did act a little cowardly just now. If I didn't get a slap from you, I would feel really bad, of course. I really didn't expect you to have such strength at your age."
The fat man spoke solemnly. The first half of the sentence was generous, but the second half was full of regret and sadness.
This performance made Ziqin and the old man laugh in unison. However, although Ziqin was laughing, his heart was overturned. Deng Baichuan was the head of the four generals of the Murong family.
The Murong clan of Gusu has been preparing for hundreds of years to restore Dayan. I originally felt that the description of the Murong clan of Gusu in the world of Jin Daxia is too simple. Four people, plus Murong Fu, five people, no matter what, it is impossible to succeed.
Now it seems that this is definitely not the case. There are definitely more than five people in the Gusu Murong clan.
Deng Baichuan had said before in the tavern that there were many heroes in his Qingyun Village. At that time, Ziqin only thought that Deng Baichuan's Qingyun Village was where Liangshan and others lived. But now it seems that it is deeper than Liangshan. Qingyun Village is clearly A stronghold of Murong's network of gangsters.
It has been at least five or six hundred years since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it is difficult to say that the Murong family still has some Xianbei blood. Moreover, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there have been many troubled times. The Murong family has never had the slightest chance, but until now We must not forget the words "reviving Dayan".
This obsession was probably completely removed from the Murong family until Murong Fu went crazy.
Ziqin felt countless emotions in his heart. He thought of the tragic end of the four Murong family members in the original work, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Deng Baichuan on the shoulder.
"Fat man, I will go to Yunnan with my brother first, and I will come back to you for a drink when I have time."
This was the first time Ziqin was so polite to Deng Baichuan.
Originally, Ziqin went to Yunnan with the caravan, and Deng Baichuan no longer expected to be able to recruit Ziqin, but he didn't expect that Ziqin would make such a move before leaving, and now he felt hopeful again.
"Then I will be waiting for you here."
Deng Baichuan smiled happily and said that he was very concerned about recruiting Ziqin. You must know that the giant shield technique is just a strange martial art used in Jianghu. It is not too strong, but it is absolutely powerful when used in military formations. Unexpectedly, especially in the Song Dynasty, which lacked cavalry, an infantry armed with giant shields, each of which was proficient in the method of giant shields, was enough to sweep half of the Song Dynasty.
"Haha, I'm just looking for you to drink, I won't join you in Qingyun Village. I forgot to tell you that I am the young master of Juxian Village in Henan. My father and uncle at home also like to make friends with people in the martial arts world. There are always three people in the village every day. A good man in his fifties has no worries about having no one to drink with him."
Seeing the hope in the fat man¡¯s eyes, Ziqin naturally followed his thoughts and smiled again.
"ah¡¡"
The fat man's face turned bitter. He had heard of Juxian Village. The You family brothers were not very good at martial arts, but they were good people. Juxian Village was not a wealthy family in the world, but it was definitely not unknown. When he heard Ziqin say that he was the young master of Juxian Village, Deng Baichuan knew that it was impossible to recruit Ziqin, because Juxian Village was really not comparable to Qingyun Village.
