Fragrance in the wind

Early summer, mid-April.The sun was shining, and a group of horses and horses were heading south along the canyon.

Walking in the front were a few tough escorts, among them were fully loaded escort carts, with a gold-rimmed dart flag on the escort carts, which clanked loudly in the wind.

Until dusk, a group of people settled down at the largest inn in the town.

Several burly men sat around in the flower hall of the inn, and there was a pine table in the center, which was filled with wine and vegetables, and two shining oil lamps.

While eating wine and meat, they talked boastfully. From their mouths, it can be learned that the things in their escort cart were escorted to Baojiazhai.

Needless to say about Baojiazhai's power, thinking that such gifts come and go all year round, but this time is just the most common escort, so the escorts didn't care much, and each of them opened their chests. My ears are warmed up after drinking.

There was a chaotic sound of horseshoes and neighing outside the door.Not long after, more than a dozen men came in like a flood, with different shapes, short and fat, and they crowded the hall in black.

Some well-informed diners in the dining room recognized these people one by one as the top thieves in the Jianghu, and singled out a few more famous ones such as Zuoqiu Shuangsha, the three brothers of the Lu family, and the nearest dragon and tiger The two rudder owners of the gang are also among them.

After a few burly bodyguards recognized the person, their faces turned pale with fright, and they whispered, "It's strange! What kind of wind has brought them all here."

Another person said: "What's there to be afraid of? Tell me who we are betting for, and I'm sorry they won't dare to touch it."

The escort man curled his lips in disapproval, thinking: Who doesn't know who is the leader in the Jiangdong area, and they came to rob the escort, presumably they came for Baojiazhai.

The leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang stood at the front, swept his eyes, and said with a smile: "We are just here to rob the darts. The swords don't have eyes, but they won't hurt innocent people. I'll give you half a cup of tea, hurry up and tidy up." leave here."

As soon as his words fell, all the diners evacuated the place like a storm, leaving only the man in black hiding in the corner, sitting there alone, sipping the old wine in the glass leisurely, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

Several bodyguard masters looked at each other and exchanged glances. One of them raised his palm and slapped the pine table, knocking it down immediately, and said loudly, "Do you know whose bodyguard this is?"

The second helmsman of the Dragon and Tiger Gang took a step forward, raised his head and laughed three times, and said, "I knew it was the widow's dart that came to rob us, why don't we look down on other people's darts?"

Dozens of big men burst out laughing, and the laughter faded away after a while.

A bodyguard was full of embarrassment, puffing out his beard and shouting loudly: "There are rules in the Jianghu, you are so black and black, do you still deserve to be called Jianghu people?"

One of them jumped out and shouted back: "Stop giving them nonsense, brothers, do it!"

Dozens of big men each showed their weapons, rushed left and right, and went straight to the bodyguards.The candles in the hall were flickering, and the bodyguards were no match for the robbers at all. When they were young, they beat them to the bone and knelt down to beg for mercy.

But at this moment, the sound of the flute sounded outside, blowing a wisp of "Phantom Meditation" getting closer, the expressions of dozens of thieves changed, and they all stopped their tricks and stopped acting rashly.

All of a sudden, a group of young girls walked in from the door, the first four and the last four, arranged in two rows.A woman who took the lead was wearing a strong dress, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were shining, she walked step by step, and she said in a sharp and flattering voice: "Who dares to touch the things in my Baojiazhai?"

The group of thieves in the hall saw that it was not Bao Li himself, so they became presumptuous. Some of them were oppressed by Bao's village for many years, and they took this opportunity in vain to express their anger. : "Brothers, how about we work together to deal with these barbaric little ladies?"

The thieves burst into laughter again, applauding repeatedly.

The well-dressed girl who put her head on her head raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and said with a sneer, "It depends on whether you have such great ability if you take care of us." Haven’t handed it in yet, why… can’t you rebel?”

When the two helmsmen of the Dragon and Tiger Gang heard this, they immediately became angry from embarrassment. The majestic leader of the gang was humiliated face to face by a young girl. Seeing the young girl retreating hastily, in a split second, she drew out the soft sword in her cuff, and made three venomous moves, knocking down the two helmsmen to the ground.

The two rudder masters were all hung with colors, and they rolled on the ground crying and wailing.The rest of the people looked dumbfounded, these two people's kung fu was already superior to theirs, seeing the big beads of sweat dripping down one by one, secretly swallowed their saliva and no one dared to step forward.

"Who dares to come, I will accompany you to the end?" The girl in strong clothes looked proud, and spat: "With your little three-legged kung fu, you still dare to come and rob the darts. In my opinion, it is better to drill into your mother's belly to practice. A few years, so as not to be ashamed of coming out."

Dozens of big men were taunted by a little girl, and they definitely couldn't hold back their faces. They were about to step forward to fight, when the man hidden in the corner suddenly stood up, the candles in the hall flickered, and he fell in front of them.

"Who are you?" Brother Lu asked.

The corners of the man's lips were slightly curved, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he said flatly, "Your savior."

The Lu brothers were blocked by his words, and then said: "Hey, let me tell you what happened today, everyone's mouth is so bad."

Seeing that the masculinity in front of the well-dressed girl is outstanding, she must not be with those robbers, so she said: "This young man has an extraordinary bearing, is it possible that he wants to join forces with that robber?"

The man in black raised his head and smiled, his elegance and wildness made his heart palpitate even more, and several girls across from him blushed immediately.

"The girl is so sharp-tongued, aren't you worried that she won't be able to get married?"

"You..." The girl hesitated, pointed her sword at the other party, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the girls in our Baojiazhai will never get married."

The man in black raised his eyebrows and said: "It's up to people. If a girl wants to marry, I have a lot of ways."

As soon as the words fell, the gang of thieves immediately bent over with laughter, and the outspoken girls ground their teeth and stomped their feet, cursing them as beasts in clothes.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The well-dressed girl didn't want to give him any more nonsense, so she turned her head and shouted: "Everyone present here will take them back and don't let anyone stay!"

"Yes!" The eight girls came forward together. At this time, the sound of the flute sounded, and everyone felt sore and limp, and their minds were in a trance.

The group of people traveled all night again, until the sky became dark and the sun was about to rise.The group of thieves and the men in black were escorted up the mountain by nine girls. The security on the mountain was strict, and every ten steps there was a female soldier standing guard. Su, one can imagine what kind of character Bao Li is.

After entering the main village of Baojiazhai, everyone was placed in underground cells.The group of thieves was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after recovering some strength, they began to make noise, but they knew that they were already prisoners, so even if they made noise, they had a sense of proportion.

And the black-clothed man who was innocently tortured was always sitting in a corner, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

At noon, two young girls suddenly came and said, "Our village master invites all heroes to the banquet."

The robbers were surprised for a while, but then they thought about it, as a prisoner, there is still wine and meat to drink, which is a great pleasure before death.

The man in black silently followed behind, led by the female soldiers to the main hall, besides the two tables of banquets, the one sitting in the main seat was Bao Li, the boss of Baojiazhai.

She stared at the thieves with silky eyebrows, raised her hand, and said flatly: "Please!" Her demeanor was not as dignified and elegant as a girl, but it was a little more heroic, which made people's eyes shine.

After everyone was seated, Bao Li's gaze swept over everyone one by one, "It seems that everyone with names and surnames is here today!"

During the words, when she reached the last place, she suddenly stood up, her expression full of surprise that she was about to say.Everyone was puzzled by the sudden change, so they followed her gaze and landed on the mysterious man in black.

The man in black was lowering his head and playing with the wine glass, he didn't care about the eyes on him, he just said indifferently: "Why don't you have the dinner yet, I'm almost starved to death after walking all night."

The tone of the speech was as if a child who had been playing for a day came home and acted like a baby to his mother.

No matter what kind of person Bao Li was, he quickly calmed down his excitement, but his warm eyes never left him, and the attendants beside him immediately got busy with a wave.

After the banquet began, the group of thieves all became quiet uncharacteristically. After drinking for three rounds, the chief helmsman of the Dragon and Tiger Gang stood up and shouted, "Bao Li, our brothers have been oppressed by you for a long time, and now we are trapped in Here, if you want to kill or scrape, you just want to have a good time, and it's not in vain that we are both people from the rivers and lakes."

Bao Li raised the wine glass, gulped, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a loud smile, "I'm ashamed to call you people from the rivers and lakes!" As he spoke, his eyes flashed, "Death...Of course I will die. If we want to let you go easily, we will What is the majesty of Baojiazhai?"

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this, they didn't expect a young woman to be so ruthless, so they all threw wine and smashed the table, intending to resist with death.

"Wait a minute!" The man in black stood up and said to Bao Li, "I dare to ask for favors from the head of the family."

Bao Li's face sank like water towards him.

The man in black continued: "Everyone's meeting is fate. Since there is fate and share, how can I just sit back and watch, so I ask the big boss to let them go for the sake of my second boss."

As soon as his words fell, the men and women in the hall broke out in cold sweat, the fat and short Zuoqiu Shuangsha reacted first: "If I heard correctly, who did he just say he is?"

"Second master!" One person quietly replied.

"Bao Chujun?" Shuangsha exclaimed, "Didn't he die a long time ago? Besides, doesn't he look like this?"

"Nonsense! Disguise!"

During the heated discussion among the crowd, Bao Li coughed, her oval face was stained red, and called a female soldier to come, and gave a few orders. The female soldier nodded and said yes, and then greeted the servants and bandits He left the main hall and closed the door.
