Chapter 23 Tiger Leaping Gorge

Gu'an Town is moving very quickly. In a month, all the roads in the town have been renovated.

Nowadays, the roads in Gu'an Town are completely reborn, and there is no problem with five or six horses running in parallel.

After about a month of observation and survey, the 1,500 soldiers in the Acropolis were selected by the Acropolis to return to the ranks of soldiers.

The other three lieutenants were not activated. The third lieutenant, like Chen Xiao, was selected from the group of new recruits in the Wushuang Battalion, named Chu Zheng.

In addition to the official return of these 500 soldiers in the town, more than 400 old soldiers in the town were interested in returning. However, during the road construction process, some people who were careless and incompetent were removed by the Acropolis, and about 300 people were left.

Their quality may be worse than the previous five hundred people, but the gap is not big.

Zhuge Liusu did not rush to form the fourth division of the town army, but divided the 300 people into two teams, responsible for the Heishi Village Coal Mine and the Basil in Tianwu Village respectively.

These two villages are now the beginning of his business, and there is no need to lose.

Each village directly entered 150 soldiers, and the 150-person guards formed by the two villages were included, and the guards in the two villages each had as many as 300.

Especially in Tianwu Village, it is an elite disciple of the Tianwu clan, and its combat power cannot be underestimated.

Zhuge Liusu specially pulled two more recruits from the Wushuang Battalion and transferred them to the guard as the captain. The daily training of the guard is no different from that of the soldiers, but the form has changed slightly.

Tomorrow, it is the time agreed with Sima Tiancai, and that guy is not low-key. A team of more than a hundred people is in a vast squad.

When I was just on the road, a quick horse letter was sent every day, and the whereabouts were always corresponded.

Zhuge Liusu was quite satisfied with the fat man's care, at least this guy finally didn't disappoint him.

As for the country, what they are planning will break out completely tomorrow. According to their own deductions, they have prepared a complete plan.

If the other party really has a help from a master, then I can only admit defeat.

After that actual battle, Feng Ling and Lian Jing made great progress in their practice over the past period. It is estimated that within a few days, they can directly break into the realm of a first-class master. This is definitely a good thing for him.

The twenty personal guards he has led by the younger brother have never selected the captain. Those people are from the world. Although they have a good foundation, they cannot be completely trusted after all, and they still need a long time to accumulate.

Feng Ling and Lian Jing are the captains he trained by himself. The two of them broke into the first-class realm, which is equivalent to the high disciples trained by the Sword Saint. Their strength is naturally no worse than those people. It is not difficult to suppress those unruly guys.

Time flies, and the guarding of the house was the quietest that night, because besides Zhuge Liusu himself, only Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu were left, twenty people including Feng Ling and Lian Jing, who had been sent out by him.

Uncle Jiu only knew that the young master was very busy during this period, and he was mainly responsible for the young master's safety. As for the others, he did not consider it.

Especially tonight, all twenty personal guards were dispatched. It seems that the young master attaches great importance to tomorrow's affairs.

Tossing and turning, Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu did not sleep all night.

Zhuge Liusu slept well. She meditated until midnight and sweated all over. After changing clothes, she raised her head and slept until midnight.

It was not until Aunt Jiu came to urge her to have a meal that she lazily got up.

Thinking that the fat man would come here before noon today, he was not in a hurry. After having breakfast slowly, he walked along the newly built road towards the outside of the town.

The newly built path in Gu'an Town is in sharp contrast to the main road outside.

This incident alarmed several surrounding towns, and the guards sneered at this. In their opinion, they really didn't know what the use of widening the road to this level.

He just thought it was a waste of money and taxes, and he thought that he was indeed a child of the official family in Yundu, and the county magistrate would agree.

Sima Tiancai did not brag. This caravan with more than a hundred people was extremely swaying, with more than 60 carriages alone, and a team of fifty guards guarded by them.

It took only seven days for Yundu to arrive here, and it was probably only the Sima family's caravan could do it.

Sima Tiancai was also very proud. Zhuge Liusu's words made him moved. This team was given to him by his father, but it was also his own desperate gambling.

If the convoy fails, or if the coal and game are not sold well, he will be defeated and will never make a breakthrough in the family.

If the business really reaches the level of imagination, the Sima family will definitely spend a lot of money to build this business path, and countless interests will follow one after another, and as the "initiator", his status will be infinitely consolidated.

The fat man did what he said. The Gu'anju in Yundu has been renovated, just waiting for the first batch of wild game to pass. The early publicity was very well-released, and the banquets and seats on the day of opening have been booked.

Especially the hot pot shabu pork he created according to Zhuge Liusu's instructions has been regarded as the main feature.

I remember when the hot pot was served on the Sima restaurant table for the first time, my father's eyes and those guys who originally mocked him looked ashamed after eating it. I felt secretly happy when I thought about it.

However, he also knew in his heart that Gu'an Town was not as peaceful as he had imagined. The last time he saw Zhuge Liusu, he could not feel at ease when he heard the many arrangements he had said.

The fifty-man guard was also what he had asked his father to come over to ensure that everything was foolproof.

There is a very steep canyon between Chongling County and Gu'an Town, called Tiger Leaping Gorge. The road is narrow and carriages can only pass through. Bandits are rampant here, and many caravans have fallen into trouble.

Through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, you can reach Gu'an Town in about two hours.

Sima Tiancai stood at the entrance of the valley of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, his eyes flashing.

"Young master, no bandits were found above. Ten brothers on both sides have already gone up!" A guard came over and reported.

Sima Tiancai then squinted his small and radiant eyes and waved his hand: "Cross the gorge!"

The caravan was in a mighty manner and finally entered the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

The Tiger Leaping Gorge is very steep, and bandits will lie on both sides and the top to threaten the caravan passing by below and extort some property.

Now the top has been occupied by the Sima family's guards, which is considered safe.

But Sima Tiancai is not an expert from a general like Zhuge Liusu. If Zhuge Liusu passes through, it will not only be the top of the canyon, but also the gentle slope of the middle and lower part of the canyon, and will definitely be placed in his own hands.

He ignored this anyway.

And this is exactly what people are using.

In a grass on the gentle slope, Xiao Kong, the largest bandit nearby, stroked the big knife in his hand with his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The information is really good. Such a huge caravan is a piece of fat, which makes the brothers cheer up. This is a big deal!" Xiao Kong ordered.

There were more than a hundred bandits on both sides. Last night, he received a mysterious man in black. Today he would pass by the caravan. The man also informed them not to set up institutions at the top of the canyon.

Xiao Kong didn't want to obey orders, but that man had the cultivation level of the second level, and he himself was only the first level of strength. He thought that there was no need to deceive him, so he also tried his luck.

Unexpectedly, I caught a big fish.

The opponent's guards seemed to be only fifty, and the highest captain was at the same level as him, which made him very satisfied.

There are fifty people on both sides of the gentle slope, all of which are ready. When the caravan passes through the canyon, they will flock to it.

Xiao Kong didn't know that more than twenty men in black hidden their bodies and even breathed in the other more secret and steep hiding places on the gentle slope.

The leader lay among the weeds, his eyes with a bit of cruelty.

He listened to the sound of cars and horses gradually coming from below, and a faint smile flowed out of his eyes.

"Zhuge Liusu, you offended the country. Do you think your caravan can enter the town smoothly? Today, everything you have done before will be wasted and there is no chance of turning over again!"

"At that time, I'm too lazy to ask for this captain. You can sit down!"

Guoqing! This person is Guoqing.

Xiao Kong and the others are just a chess piece that has been used. These more than 20 masters trained by the country are the real killer moves in their industry.

The bandits led by Xiao Kong could be settled at best by spending some money, but these people are real death urgingers. At least the task assigned by the head of the family was to keep no one!

"kill--"

When the caravan reached the center, the bandits lying on both sides finally moved, drawing out their weapons and diving downwards.

Sima Tiancai narrowed his eyes slightly, and while pulling out the long sword from his waist, he said scattered: "Zhuge Liusu, you plague guy, how many things have you done that harm the heavens and the earth?"

The bandits are also very experienced. More than a dozen people intercepted them behind them, and the same is true for them in front.

The remaining thirty guards immediately drew out their long swords and escorted the carriages and horses, but their manpower was limited after all, and they divided up twenty people to occupy the top. Facing more than a hundred bandits, they couldn't help but feel a little numb.

"Who is below? If you want to pass from now on, you have to leave money to buy the road!" Xiao Kong shouted with a big knife.

Sima Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief. Things that could be solved with money were nothing. He immediately said with a smile: "I wonder how this head of the company charges this toll!"

Xiao Kong did not ask the bandits to attack, but said to him: "We collect money based on the head. One person has a constant money. If you have more than one hundred people, I will give you a discount, and it will be 100 cents!"

"This brother is also a honest man at first sight. He pays money with one hand and passes the canyon with the other hand. I will never stop him!"

A black-hearted bandit! Sima Tiancai's heart was in a state of turmoil. He really dared to ask for a hundred coins of money.

Looking at Xiao Kong waving a big knife, he slapped his thigh hard, his fat flesh trembled, and said angrily: "I'll give your mother the immortal Banban, I'll kill them for me!"

Xiao Kong couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Snatch it for me!"

The war is about to break out!

At the same time, when Zhuge Liusu, who had just arrived at the entrance of the town, a soldier hurriedly reported: "Sir, there are bandits in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and now the two sides have already fought each other!"

Zhuge Liusu's eyes narrowed slightly. Before he could speak, another soldier came forward to report: "My lord, a fire broke out in the coal yard of Heishi Village, and a large number of bandits were found outside!"

He didn't speak, but looked at another fast horse that was racing towards him.
