Chapter 161: The Ruins of Zhengjiaji

After the first scream, not to mention that he had just woken up, those who were asleep reacted and hurriedly grabbed the weapons beside him, but the old man stared at the other side with all concentration. He only saw Zhou Qingyun shoot an arrow, another arrow hitting a bow, almost no pause, and shot it again, and the second scream!

I could hear the sound of falling to the ground, and the chaotic and rapid footsteps left, leaving only the noise of everyone in the yard being awakened.

Several leaders of the Wei family chariot were staring at the opposite side. Only now did they understand the confidence of these more than 20 people. Not only were they looking at the spears with great power, but also such a accurate bow. It is one thing to fight in close combat, but the bow and arrow shooting is another thing. If the defense is 100% and the sword and gun make people at most 50% of the defense, but the bow and arrow shooting is accurate and can kill people anytime and anywhere, then you must be 80% of the defense. If you can run faster than the sword and gun, how can you run faster than the bow and arrow within fifty steps?

Some people even squinted at Zhu Da lying in the car. This guy was probably not only good at business abacus, but also his martial arts were not bad. Although he didn't watch him take action, the twenty-somethings were obviously led by him. Moreover, when he came, the posture of this man riding a horse was not the attitude of the people, but clearly the appearance of a cavalry.

Wei Daibei wore a piece of clothing and walked out of the house. This was the benefit of a large-scale caravan. He didn't have to do many things himself. Wei Daibei went straight to a middle-aged man, looking at Zhu Da, and asked in a low voice: "Is there still someone attacking at night?"

"Yes, two of them were shot and killed by Zhu Da's companion, and the others were scared away." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"This Zhu Da has many tricks. The boy around him actually has such skills." Wei Daibei was stunned and said.

The middle-aged man stared at the opposite side without looking away, and said in a low voice: "This kind of ejaculation technique has put a lot of effort into it. To have a serious master, you must have the talent of your family. But the important thing is not this. Look at the people on the opposite side, and look at us again. This is the ability of Zhu Da."

Wei Daibei looked back at the caravan area and found that it was a mess. Although the guards did not move, those who had just woken up and had not slept but were curious, either inquiring randomly or joining in the fun, looked at Zhu Da. By this time the more than 20 people had returned to normal, and there were ten patrols and ten resting, which seemed to be the same as nothing happened just now.

"This is really..." Wei Daibei muttered, but didn't know what to say.

The middle-aged man looked like a subordinate, but he was not polite to Wei Daibei during his conversation. He only shook his head there and said, "I don't know whose child he was. Eighty-mostly he was from the Wu family. He came out to practice this time."

"But Uncle Eleven, is the one from the Wei Institute so good at doing business?" Wei Daibei was puzzled, and then asked and answered: "The people in the Wei Institute all got into the money."

Zhou Qingyun was not nervously alert after shooting two arrows, but turned to look at Zhu Da. Zhu Da, who was lying there, was still open his eyes, and said while looking at the starry sky: "I won't come again. Your two arrows tell them that this is a thorny hard bone. If you chew your mouth, you will bleed. I'll go to bed first."

Next, by dawn, it was as quiet as what Zhu Da said. After dawn, he could not even find the body. The blood splashed on the wall could still be seen fresh. Some employees said that they smelled the burning smell when it was almost dawn. Everyone probably had a judgment that they might have taken the body back and burned it in the dark. Although the Zheng family is now a lawless place, they should beware of Zhu Da and the others seeking revenge. These twenty people have shown their ability to be careful.

When Zhu Da and his friends caught fire and cooked, three caravans left Zhengjiaji, and the Weijia caravan was also preparing to leave at noon. Wei Daibei's attitude towards Zhu Da today was different than yesterday. He went there with a few points intimately, but he was a little more respectful. He was very formally invited Zhu Da to Pingyao to take a look.

"Actually, Brother Zhu, you were wrong when you came. There were nearly twenty caravans in the courtyard two days ago. But some of them were unwilling to stop after passing by. All of them were left. I guess the news spread in a few days and there would be no one here. If Brother Zhu came a few days ago, Brother Zhu's goods might be sold at a better price."

"It's already luck to be able to earn so much, so I won't ask for too much." Zhu Da's peaceful mentality surprised Wei Daibei.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not rush to go to the Tuweizi to commemorate them. Instead, when the Wei family caravan began to prepare, they said hello and occupied the big house in the yard, and then used four large carts to form an arc outside the Meridian Gate, and arranged for the hired workers to guard the guards and guard them as they were at night, then rode a horse and left.

It’s not without danger during the day, you must be prepared before you dare to go out and act, otherwise you will have no medicine to take.

The weather in Datong is clear in winter and summer, while spring and autumn are very short. A few days ago, it made people feel a little hot. But now it is still cool after the sun comes out. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun took out the clean handkerchief they carried with them, soaked them with cool boiled water from the gourd, and covered them with masks on their mouths and noses. Then they rode a horse to walk into the earthen enclosure, with Pu Dao and bows and arrows.

"Your shoulders are fine? If you have difficulty moving, you would rather not go." Zhou Qingyun asked caringly.

Zhu Da immediately turned the wounded shoulder and arm a few times, and said with a smile: "I'm recovering. The big thief will not entrench inside. We can either kill the little thief or kill them all."

Zhou Qingyun nodded, and both sides drove forward. After walking a few steps out of the yard, they met the guide who led the way to collect money yesterday. His attitude was much more polite than yesterday, and even reached a point of flattery and flattery. The reason was easy to understand. Without mentioning the heads hanging on both sides of the cart, he performed martial arts yesterday afternoon and shot the night attackers late at night. This gang that temporarily occupied the local area could not be unaware of. Such powerful figures are not within their concept.

"Two masters, the younger one is familiar with the Zheng family inside and outside. Please guide the way for the two masters!" The person who came was a thin man, who seemed to be a slick character.

Before Zhu Da could speak, Zhou Qingyun waved his hand impatiently and drove him away: "You don't need to lead the way, we are more familiar with you."

The thin man was stunned, but Zhu Da smiled and said, "What do you call this guy?"

This kind attitude made the thin man stunned again. He knew that Zhu Da was the master of the two young men, so he nodded and laughed and said, "You can't be the master shouted, the little Zhao Sheng, you won't be able to write this word, it's the one who gets promoted and makes a fortune."

Zhu Da nodded with a smile, took out a small string of copper coins from his arms and threw them down. Zhao Sheng smiled and grabbed it. Zhu Da immediately said, "You follow us. If you want to ask, we will ask. If you don't ask, just follow us. Judging from your appearance, I was afraid that you were not a farmer in the past?"

Seeing the appearance of the copper coins, Zhao Sheng's smile on his face became a little more. However, Zhu Da's question made his face froze, but he could still answer with a smile: "The master is so smart. He used to be a peddler who ran around."

Zhou Qingyun did not argue with Zhu Da's attitude. He knew why his partner did this, just to make a good relationship, and it was hard to say when it could be used. Moreover, everyone had news and events that others didn't know about. Zhu Da was particularly interested in this. Sometimes Zhou Qingyun even felt that Zhu Da would pay for the chat.

But things were unexpected. When they arrived at the west gate of Tuweizi, Zhu Da couldn't help but ask, "Can there be people living in this circumference? Why are there so many people coming in and out?"

Now Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both covered their mouths and noses with white cloth soaked in water. It is estimated that the decay of the corpses of people and animals in the encirclement will spread the disease. In those days when they were just destroyed, there were thieves attacking each other, and perhaps some people wanted to pick up the property from the ruins of each family, but what else is there? Hasn’t it been occupied by this gang?

"It's so that the two masters know that they are all here to make money." Zhao Sheng explained with a smile, and then said: "Before the Zheng family gathering was a well-known wealthy place in all villages. There are many rich people in it. Who doesn't know that the Zheng family and the Qin family are not bad than the masters in Datong, and some of them are not vague. This time they were destroyed by the Tartars. Many people didn't have time to take away or hide their wealth, and they couldn't hide it too deeply. Some were searched and taken away by several groups of people before, and some were hidden in a coincidence. So people have to find someone to find it. In the past few days, some people have found someone who has hidden it and make some money."

These days, the wealth of rich people is stored by themselves, so they have to be careful of thieves, bandits, and even their own family members. However, they can think of the situation of the Mongolian horse team attacking at a very young age. Such things are often the same as natural disasters. One is that the possibility of hiding when they come, and the other is that if they can be too late, they don’t care about hiding their own personalities and dig out their property to escape. Who would have thought that the Mongolian horse team will cooperate with each other in the outside world, and everything is too sudden and they can’t run away.

The Mongolian horse team and the official army will not stay for too long. What they can grab is the easiest property to get. The people who will search carefully will find the following people, such as cellar walls and the like, cannot escape the people behind them. They sifted over again and again, and guessed that nothing was left.

"You two masters want to try your luck too? You are late. There are many people entering now, but not many people have found things, and many people have not come either." Zhao Sheng continued.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other, and the latter whispered in a bad look: "I'm afraid the Qin family is no longer like that."

"It was ruined, don't think too much." Zhu Da comforted him. He thought very clearly. In the face of such a disaster, he could not understand it according to the normal world. He could not change anything based on his own strength and his partner. Then there was no need to worry about it.

When he was about to enter the door, Zhu Da raised his voice slightly and said with a smile: "Zhao Sheng, your footwork should not be fast. If you set up a plan to plot against us, you will definitely die first. And with you can do it, it will be easy for us brothers to kill you all. You have to figure it out, and I won't admit it if you do it."

These light words made Zhao Sheng stunned at first, but when he wanted to argue, he met Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's eyes. The words seemed to be stuffed back into his throat and could not be said anymore. Although it was very cool, his forehead was sweating down. He was making gestures in secret just now and he was making obvious gestures. Four or five idle people stopped and disappeared after a moment of daze.

"What do you remind him? I want to wait and kill him later." Zhou Qingyun muttered with some dissatisfaction.

This made Zhao Sheng even pale and he didn't dare to move. At the end, he just knelt down and kowtowed. The other people who were about to enter the circumference all dispersed and watched the show from afar.

"Two masters, the little lard is careless and I'm not sure what to do. I'd like to ask the master to spare my life. The little one will get out of here and will never dirty the master's eyes again." Zhao Sheng said while kowtowing.

"Get up!" Zhao Shengru, who heard this, hurriedly got up and was about to leave. As soon as he turned around and took a step, he was stopped by Zhu Da and immediately froze. His back was soaked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he could imagine how cold sweat was.

"Continue to lead the way forward." Zhu Da's words made Zhao Sheng's body tremble, and he staggered for two steps and almost fell down. He looked back tremblingly and found that Zhu Da didn't seem to be a joke. Zhou Qingyun had a calm face and had no intention of taking action. Then he responded tremblingly.

"Receive the caravans and control the ruins of Zheng Jiaji. These two things are worth a lot. How can you do a business of setting up a murder?" Zhu Da asked immediately.

If Zhu Da hadn't said this, it would be like eating and drinking water, Zhao Sheng would have to kneel down again. Seeing Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's expressions as usual, he said in great fear: "Everyone thinks that everything is fine here, it is a good opportunity to get rich. Some confused people look down on rural people like us. They tricked them into killing them and kill them. They can get some more. Two masters, I was forced, I don't have much strength. If you want to have a meal, you have to follow them, otherwise you will have to be fed the dog. Master, I am innocent."

"Whatever you ask, don't say anything else." Zhou Qingyun scolded impatiently, and Zhao Sheng stopped quickly.

After entering the wing, I found that the situation was even better than last time. The expected odor smell was somewhat, but it was within the normal range. After asking Zhao Sheng, I found out that their group and people of various purposes were burning the bodies. Whether in the wing or in the wild, they would burn them down with fire. In name, they were kind-hearted, but in fact, they were so that people could live here forever. No matter how broken the land of the Zheng Family Ji was, it was much better than ordinary villages. Although many houses were burned too much, some were well preserved.

The Qin family house where Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun went first was even more shattered than last time. I guess the people who were looking for treasures didn't let go of any corners. They couldn't say they were digging three feet away, but they must have checked whether there were any walls or hidden grids, so naturally there were no complete buildings left behind.

This is not the way I remember. The two of them dismounted and walked in the ruins, speechless to each other. However, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but say, "There is nothing to find here, and they have been looked through many times."

"I don't know what will happen to my foster father think when he sees this situation?" Zhu Da couldn't help but say something when he left and got on the horse.

Zhou Qingyun was silent for a moment before answering, "I hope Mr. Qin will not encounter this military disaster and will see us again."

Zhu Da knew what Zhou Qingyun meant. This Mongolian invasion was a major disaster for Huairen County and Datong Zuowei. It was a separation this time and it was difficult to meet in the future. Did Qin Xiucai rush back at that time? Will he suffer from military disasters, or did he not come back when he heard that his hometown was destroyed? The world is so big, if there is no news connection, it would be really difficult to meet again.

After leaving the Qin family's house, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not save horsepower as usual. Instead, they rode forward, and the knife bow was placed in a place that was easy to take out. Although there were no threats or dangers around and there were not many people, both of them knew that the more they were in such a situation, the less they could not relax. The terrain of this "city" area was complex and there were too few things to observe. If an enemy appeared, it would be a disaster if there was no defense. They could only make the worst preparations. However, their behavior made Zhao Sheng, who led the way, even more trembling.

Within the scope of his eyes, there were not many people searching for ruins everywhere. On the contrary, he occasionally passed by a few intact houses and could see people inside looking out vigilantly. They should be the ones who occupied the house. Zhao Sheng also explained this. When it started to be messy, he could still take out the property in the circumference. Later, when it was found, you had to kill out, otherwise you would be robbed by others, and even cause death and injury. As a result, the "treasure hunt" would be in groups. After more people, the efficiency would be higher. As a result, all those who could be found were found. Now people are trying their luck, and more people want to settle down in this circumference.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not talk, but they knew that those who stayed in the siege would not have a good ending, and the Mongolian horse team would not stay for a long time after the plunder. However, the officials and soldiers spent so much effort to do things, which was not a place for these people to settle down.

In this marquis, there are two places that Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun want to see, one is the Qin family's house, and the other is the Zheng family's house. During the Zheng family's gathering, the Zheng family has been showing kindness to Qin Xiucai, and Qin Chuan has not treated him coldly, and there are still some contacts. Qin Xiucai often takes Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun with him when he goes to Zheng's house to have a drink, so in this marquis, the Qin family and the Zheng family are the two familiar places, and the rest are just like that.

Compared with other places, the Zheng family was unexpectedly deserted. It is said that the only reaction was the Zheng family. The Zheng family was guarded by their own mansion, but in front of so many Mongolians and official troops, the big courtyard could not be guarded at all. It was precisely because the defenders had spent some effort that the Zheng family was destroyed and the exterior walls were opened. The official troops and Mongolians also knew that such local tyrants were rich, so they knocked open everything from the inside to the outside, took away the floating wealth, and washed the hidden wealth. They did so thoroughly that later all kinds of people could only search in detail. They could not find gold and silver, and they had to take away what could be used and exchanged for money.
