Chapter 22: Leave the city! Suppress the bandits!
In the early winter forest, a young man rode a white horse alone, carrying luggage.
"Fortunately, I learned to ride a horse when I went hunting with Ye Yunfei, otherwise I would have to carry my luggage!"
This person is Gu Xia.
This place is a hundred miles away from Xianfu City, and it is a mountain forest that stretches for thousands of miles. The people of Dagan call it the Everbright Forest.
The Everbright Forest has a rugged and complex terrain, full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and wild beasts. It is said that there are also wild monsters.
The army cannot enter, so there are a large number of bandits hiding in the Everbright Forest. It is said that there is a small court built by the remnants of the previous dynasty.
And many of the bandits are not ordinary green forest bandits. There are many demons and evil monks who come out from time to time to harm the people.
Recently, another group of bandits rushed out of the forest and made trouble nearby.
The commission Gu Xia received was the commission issued by the court to suppress bandits in Tianxuanmen. Killing an ordinary bandit will cost 10 taels of silver, and killing the bandit leader will cost 100 taels of silver.
Although no Xuanliu masters have been found among the bandits, this mission is too dangerous for Kaikaijing disciples. For Xuanliu disciples, the rewards are small and time-consuming. What if the bandits are also poor? Therefore, few people are willing to take it.
For Gu Xia, these rewards are not very attractive. He has a thigh of a child of aristocratic family, which is much better than traveling a long distance to suppress bandits. However, he has his own little plan in mind.
He rode leisurely, fiddling with a chain in his hand, with a barbed dart on the top of the chain.
From time to time, he threw the dart out, and when he pulled it back, a leaf was brought back with the dart.
This is a little thing Gu Xia has been practicing recently. Now he has thrown out ten darts and eight of them can hit the leaves he aims at.
Just as he was playing with the darts leisurely, two carriages appeared behind him, and there were two horse-riding escorts in front. It seemed that they were a small caravan passing by.
Gu Xia then pulled his horse to the side and let them pass.
Seeing the instinctive vigilance of the two escorts who saw outsiders, the speed of the caravan also slowed down significantly.
"What's wrong?" a man in the carriage asked.
Escort: "Manager Gao, it's nothing, I just met a passerby."
The window opened, and a bloated middle-aged man showed his head.
He: "Hey! Little brother, why are you traveling here alone? It's not peaceful here recently! There are many bandits who kill and rob!"
"Thank you for your reminder, uncle." Gu Xia was still not in a hurry, and his horse was not even as fast as the carriage.
Man: "Little brother, it's not a joke to meet bandits! It's best not to stay within dozens of miles around here!"
"Oh, I know." Gu Xia responded politely.
The man was a little anxious: "Or, little brother, camp with us tonight! My two escorts are very skilled in martial arts, and they can protect us even if we meet bandits."
Gu Xia: "No, thank you for your concern, uncle."
The man said earnestly: "You! Young people should listen more to the teachings of the elderly!"
"I've learned, uncle." Gu Xia nodded perfunctorily.
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, the man had to give up.
Soon the caravan went far away.
"He is a kind-hearted man." Gu Xia murmured. If he had not done something shameful on this trip, he might have camped with the caravan.
On the carriage.
The man sighed to his wife and daughter beside him: "Young people are always like this, careless and lax. I hope he will not be in danger."
The escort outside the car: "Manager Gao, as the saying goes, it is difficult to persuade a damned ghost with good words!
Also, I know you have a kind heart, but don't invite strangers to join the caravan casually, okay? Especially in this area where bandits are frequent.
If not for us, think about your wife and daughter!"
...
In the evening.
In the depths of the dense forest, seven or eight bandits with dirty clothes and hateful faces gathered together to plan something.
One person said, "Boss, we found two targets today. There is a small caravan with a cart of goods and two women, hehe.
There is also a man riding alone. I think he is white and clean, like a young man who is out for fun.
His horse is also not ordinary, tall and strong, and it carries a lot of luggage."
The leader of the bandits laughed and said, "Okay! Mouse, you and the jackal go rob the young man, and we will rob the caravan."
An ugly bandit said, "Then boss, don't kill those women again before Mouse and I come back."
"Okay! Go quickly!"
The bandits split into two groups and sneaked into the forest separately.
...
At night, Gu Xia found an open space in the forest to stop, built a bonfire, and took out a large pot that could stew half a sheep from the luggage on the horse's back and put it on the fire.
The water tank-shaped pot occupied half of the luggage.
Gu Xia took out some dry food again, but instead of heating it in the pot, he started to eat it directly.
Two people were watching from a distant tree.
"Is this guy a big eater? He uses such a big pot to cook rice! He is indeed a rich kid, and he is so extravagant in the wilderness!" The mouse nicknamed the bandit muttered.
The jackal who was traveling with him: "No, he seems to be boiling medicine."
Mouse: "Why is he boiling medicine here?"
"Who cares? Let's go. Are we afraid of a pretty boy?"
Gu Xia put the herbs in his luggage into the pot one by one.
"One qian of white jade ginseng, three qian of dragon bones, two qian of blood Pu Zi, one qian of red flame snake venom..."
There were only three things in Gu Xia's luggage, food, herbs and this pot.
He spent a total of 500 taels of money he borrowed, of which 490 taels were for herbs.
“…Two coins of bone marrow flower and one coin of nether grass. Okay, now we only need a main medicine.”
“Boy! Robbery!” Suddenly a loud shout came from the side.
Two bandits came out of the forest with shining long knives in their hands, looking at him fiercely.
Gu Xia raised his head calmly and smiled at the two bandits: “Okay! Now the main medicine is also complete!”
The mouse said angrily: “MD! Bastard! What are you laughing at! Robbery! Believe it or not, I will chop you to death!”
The jackal on the side saw the young man’s smile, and for some reason, a chill rose in his heart.
And the mouse had already swung his knife at the other party.
But he only saw Gu Xia casually swung his arm, as if it was a weak push.
In an instant, the mouse felt a huge force coming from the long knife, which cracked his tiger’s mouth, and his whole arm was numb, and the steel knife in his hand slipped out of his hand.
Just before the steel knife hit the ground, Gu Xia threw another punch, and the rat flew four or five meters away, his nose collapsed, and most of his teeth fell out.
Perhaps the punch was too heavy, blood gushed out of his seven orifices, and he fell to the ground and died.
"How... how is this possible!"
When Tu Cai saw his companion was killed by a punch, he immediately realized that something was wrong and they had hit a wall.
This young man was not a young man who didn't know the world, but a hungry insect wandering in the forest.
The bandit turned around and ran without looking back, rolling and crawling, trying to find a glimmer of life.
But he heard something flying through the air at a high speed.
Puff!
"Ah! Ah..." Tu Cai cried out and fell to the ground. He looked down and saw that a dart had pierced his ankle, and the barbs on it were stuck in his flesh.
Gu Xia pulled the chain on the dart with his hand, and the bandit was dragged over.
"No! No! Spare me! Spare me!"
The jackal desperately grabbed the weeds and bushes on the ground, but was still dragged over bit by bit.
Desperately watching himself getting closer and closer to the terrifying young man.
"You should envy your companion! He can die directly, but you can't. Next, answer a few questions for me!"
