Survive through the ancient apocalypse

The next day, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi got up early, and under the reluctance of their parents and younger siblings, they embarked on a journey to visit their father-in-law.Since no one in the team knew the way, Ye Mingze specially invited a guide for the long-distance running line to lead the way.

At the beginning of the journey, you can still follow the caravan.The later, the more desolate.Walking on the official road for a long time may not be able to see a village.

Today, everyone passed by a canyon.The canyon is not deep, but it is scary to watch.There are cliffs on both sides, like knives and axes, and the people watching are very depressed.The guide reminded that the front is a place where accidents occur frequently.He once encountered a robbery here.Fortunately, there were many caravans at that time, so they were not robbed.

With the guide's reminder, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi did not hold back.Send out two teams of sentinel guides to check for ambushes on both sides of the canyon.

The sentinel guides brought out by Ye Mingze this time have all undergone long-term training and cooperated with each other tacitly.The sentinel was scouting the way ahead, and the guide followed later.After choosing a suitable location, the sentinel, under the blessing of the guide's spiritual power, let go of his senses and paid attention to the wind and grass around him.

After a while, there was no news from either team.Ye Mingze could hold his breath, no news at least means that no one has been found ambushing so far, right?

The two teams walked all the way to the top of the mountain, but found nothing.After walking a certain distance, until it was close to the exit of the canyon, when we were going to make a final investigation, we suddenly found a group of thieves, and the hiding place was very hidden.If it weren't for the fact that their five senses are much stronger now, and they have the bonus of a guide, they really wouldn't have noticed it for a while.

The two teams made a decisive decision, and returned directly without warning the snake.

"Master, there are ten people on the left, five with bows and five with machetes. They are right at the exit of the canyon. It's already out of the range of the cliff. It's just a small gentle slope. It's easy to go down the mountain."

"Master, my side is similar, but there are more people. Six with bows and seven with machetes. I guess the leader of this group should be here."

"I'm in charge of the team on the right. For the team on the left, after you find a hidden place within your range, you hang a piece of cloth with the same color as the surrounding ones, shake it a little bit, and when I receive it from my side, return In the same way. After another breath, they will launch attacks at the same time. Each person is responsible for a target. Before shooting, discuss who is responsible for attacking which. Don't shoot all at the same person at that time, then the joke will explode. Take The ones with the bow are the priority targets." Ye Mingze asked Jiang Jingzhi to cut out a few pieces of fabric in the colors that might appear on the nearby hills, and asked the two teams to bring them separately.

The carriage was still a long way from the entrance of the canyon, and the noise from this side could not be heard from the canyon exit.There are three pairs of sentinel guides on the hilltop on the left, and four pairs on the right including Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi.The two teams quietly touched the top of the hill, each of them found a hidden position, and under Ye Mingze's signal, they drew their bows and shot arrows one after another.

For a while, screams rang out.

One round of salvo, followed by another round.After two rounds, few can still stand.The robbers were stunned by the shooting. Before they saw each other's shadow, people fell down one after another on their own side.When they came back to their senses, the third round of arrows arrived again.

Ye Mingze only brought a small bundle of rope, just in case.Searching through this group of robbers, they found a large bundle of ropes. It seems that they were really prepared.

Of this group, only half were directly shot.The rest of the dozen or so were tied up, one on the shaft of each carriage, and the rest were tied into the carriage where the guide was originally sitting.The guide also divided into four to sit on the shaft, and the remaining three entered the carriage where Ye Mingze was.

A group of people rushed to the next county without stopping.After entering the city, he directly handed over the people to the government, and also handed over the credit for exterminating the mountain bandits.The local county magistrate was very enthusiastic and wanted to keep them to have a good time.Ye Mingze declined politely, saying that the schedule was very tight and they had to return home before the heavy snow closed the mountains.

The magistrate expressed his understanding, and quickly let it go, and also sent a thank you gift, and then he was busy cleaning up the aftermath.This group of bandits is very cunning, the canyon is located at the junction of the two counties, but it belongs to their county.If there is a problem, it will naturally be counted in his political achievements.

He sent people several times, but as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, the bandits ran away, and when the officers and soldiers left, they ran back again and continued to rob.Not only did it affect his political achievements, but also the circulation of goods was greatly affected.This time the main bosses have all been wiped out, and the rest are mostly family members and the like, which is no longer a concern.

The invited guide was surprised to see that Ye Mingze and his party killed more than [-] people so easily.When he was robbed at that time, the number of caravan guards was much larger than now, but they only repelled the robbers, and they didn't even kill any of them, which shows the ability of the bandits.Unexpectedly, with such a dozen people as the employer, they would be wiped out easily, and they couldn't accept it.

Others couldn't see it, but Ye Mingze knew very well that the reason why he won so easily was that they were blessed with information asymmetry.

Here is a combination of sentinels and guides. Let alone the guides, the sentries alone can see farther than them, have greater strength, and naturally have a longer range.Even the robbers are composed of sentries, and Ye Mingze also has guides to increase his strength.Under various circumstances, this side has an overwhelming advantage.

If it had changed from the past, there were ordinary people on both sides with the same range of vision, but the robbers were more brave and there were a few more people. I guess Ye Mingze would find a way to detour.

The next section of the road was uneventful.It's just that the further north you go, the more sturdy the folk customs are.The land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is close to the border. If you want to live comfortably, you need some blood.

"Hey, it's finally here." Ye Mingze lay on the bed in the inn and let out a sigh of relief.The place where he is now staying is the nearest town to Beimo Village, where the Jiang family was exiled.When they arrived in this town, they happened to enter at the closed point of the city gate, which is a matter of gratitude.

When Ye Mingze went to Fucheng to participate in the rural examination, there were many places to stay along the road.Here, it is possible to not see a person for half a day, and if you miss it halfway, you will have to sleep in the wilderness at night.This time, it can be regarded as an experience of what it means to eat and sleep in the open.

Jiang Jingzhi didn't say much thank you, but expressed it with practical actions, rubbing his shoulders while looking at him with a smile.

The next day, the convoy headed toward Beimo Village at the point where the city gate was opened.The guide who led the way did not follow him anymore, and was arranged by Ye Mingze in the town, and he would pick him up on the return journey.

Five carriages drove slowly into Beimo Village, and the villagers near the entrance of the village couldn't help but be speechless.

Beimo Village is a typical place of exile.Half of the people here are descendants of former exiles, and the other half are sinners in exile.Those who were exiled for only five years like the Jiang family were given the lightest punishment, and most of them were sentenced to more than ten years.It would be good if half of them survived to the end of the criminal law.

The only inspector here is not rich either.There is basically no backer who can be sent to do this.How much money can a person sentenced to exile get?

The Jiang family who went to Beimo Village last year was the first family of criminals who had enough lucrative money to come across after the inspector here took office.He is also considered to be a bit knowledgeable. Such a family is obviously taken care of by someone behind his back. He dare not go too far, and only took 30 taels from the Jiang family.

Jiang's family has a large population. Jiang Houye, together with his younger brothers' family, except for those who ran away before the house raid and a few daughters-in-law who returned home with Li, there are nearly a hundred people, big and small.The serious masters of the Jiang family only accounted for more than half, and the rest were aunts and the like.

As the carriage entered the village, more and more people gathered to watch.How long has it been since there were so many carriages in and out of Beimo Village?

Lord Jiang's family arrived last year, and the house they were allocated was at the end of the village.Ye Mingze's convoy, under the watchful eyes of the villagers, traveled from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.There were also some children who followed and refused to leave.

There are many Jiang family members, but the houses in Beimo Village are not big, so they all live in separate houses.

Jiang Jingzhi stopped in front of the nearest courtyard.He didn't know where his parents and grandfather were divided, and he was afraid that something would happen in the past year, so he hesitated at the door.

Ye Mingze could understand his mood, and took the initiative to step forward and pat the door open.The Jiang family has only been here for a year, and they haven't fully adapted to the life here, and have little contact with the villagers.Otherwise, just ask other villagers.

"You are?" The woman who opened the door was not yet 40 years old, but she was stained with weather.

"Mother!" Jiang Jingzhi's face was full of astonishment. More than a year ago, Mother was a noble lady with a smooth life. How did she become like this after only one year?

"Jingzhi?" The woman couldn't believe it. She took a good look and was convinced that the person in front of her was her eldest son. Her excited hands were shaking a little, "Old man, master, come out quickly, Jingzhi is coming to see us!"

"Who? Who did you say is here?"

"Respect, our eldest son Jingzhi has come to see us!"

Once it was confirmed, many people rushed out of the yard, and even the neighboring house opened its closed gate after hearing the news.

In an instant, the convoy was surrounded by people.

Seeing the mess in front of her, Jiang's mother hurriedly led the motorcade into the yard.

Jiang Jingzhi looked at the people who appeared in front of him, grandparents, parents, second brother, and younger sister were all there, but he didn't see the younger brother, his heart tightened, afraid of the situation he least wanted to see: "Mother, where is the younger brother? "

"Congratulations to him, he has been ill for a month." Jiang's mother also had a sad face when talking about her youngest son.

"Respectful, I congratulate him for not having any major problems. Take good care of him and drink some bitter medicine and he will be fine again. It's just that he wasn't used to it when he first came here. Many people are sick, and money is wasted quickly. Until now There is not much money left, so a little illness has dragged on until now, and has not been cured. Respectfully, come and let grandpa take a look." Jiang Houye couldn't help but be excited, Jiang Jingzhi is the only one who has been here for more than a year Come to visit.But I don't blame them, most of his relatives are in the imperial capital and the south of the imperial capital, thousands of miles away from here, it is too difficult to come here once.
