On the official road, 100 soldiers of the Shanzi battalion dug a big pit on both sides of the official road, and threw all kinds of stumps and broken remains of the mountain bandits directly into the big pit. On the other hand, the bodies of the Jiang family's guards were collected and buried properly, and the conditions were limited, so they could only make an obvious mark with a mound of soil, and their families would pick them up in the future.

As for Zhao Youcai and Zhao Youfu, the two mountain bandit leaders, their hands and feet were broken, twisted into a twisted shape, and they lay on the ground like worms, surrounded by Xiao Liuzi and several soldiers who were in charge of guarding.

In the carriage, Li Xian bent over and walked in, a little red blood on the wall of the car spread, Jiang Ru, the man was so sad that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

He looked at the little boy who stood in front of his mother with his hands outstretched, his eyes were cold and compassionate, and he could imagine how brave this child was, and he was obviously scared himself, but he finally became a man in front of his mother and sister.

"Hey......"

Li Xian sighed faintly, and the power of his mind swept through.

"Huh?!" Thick eyebrows raised slightly. "The little girl is still alive. ”

It turned out that the long knife that penetrated the mother and son only hit Jiang Qin's belly, because Jiang's body greatly protected the daughter behind him, Jiang Qin just fainted in fright, and his breath was very weak, and even Li Xian couldn't find it in time as soon as he came in.

But...... There is one more thing to deal with first.

Stretching out his finger and tapping on the hilt of the knife, I saw a trace of "gentle" red seedlings beating on it, and began to devour the entire long knife, the iron was melted into molten iron, and then directly evaporated by the high temperature, and everything was annihilated in the red seedlings.

In just a moment's work, the long knife disappeared without a trace, Li Xian gently supported Jiang Han's fallen body, slowly put it on the wooden board, reached out and dragged Jiang Qin out from Jiang's back, put one hand behind her back to push the palace blood for her, and shouted outside: "Little Liuzi, hurry up and bring me a pill that warms and nourishes qi and blood." ”

"Oh, oh, oh......"

Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded. After a hurried footsteps, Xiao Liuzi's anxious face poked into the carriage, spread out his clenched fists, and handed the white medicine bottle to Li Xian.

A vermilion pill rolled out of the mouth of the bottle, Li Xian crushed half of it, and then pinched the remaining pill with two fingers, and suddenly turned into powder, pinched Jiang Qin's mouth, and poured the powder into it.

Soon, the little girl's breath slowly became calm and powerful, and her constricted brows gradually relaxed.

Li Xian turned his head to Xiao Liuzi and instructed: "Hurry up and repair this carriage a little, the bodies of this lady and the son will be protected first, we still need to walk for half a day at the nearest post station, so we will leave immediately without further ado." ”

Xiao Liuzi said a sigh, immediately turned his head and shouted a few words, and called a few brothers to help repair the carriage simply.

On the other side, Li Xian bent down and walked out of the carriage and paced in front of the boulder. You must know that this official road was built completely according to the standards of wartime, and it is six zhang wide, that is, twenty meters wide.

"To completely block the road, it had to take enough time to lay it out, and the location was cleverly chosen, with cliffs on both sides, and there was no shortage of boulders. ”

"The most important thing is who has the courage to do this, and what is the identity of that man. ”

"That's it, I'll be in the party in two days, just talk to Lao Lu when the time comes. He thought to himself.

Li Xian glanced at the boulder blocking the way, the power of his mind surged, and the Lingqi that filled the heavens and the earth was perceived, and he domineeringly pulled a large piece of fire attribute Lingqi, and his five fingers suddenly closed!

Rumble!

Large swaths of crimson viscous flames burst out of thin air, swept out like a wave, the scorching flames blew his hair, and several boulders were directly vaporized, and the moment the flames swept into these boulders, they were directly burned into wisps of green smoke by the high temperature.

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers behind him, and their faces showed fanatical expressions, and the movements in their hands became faster and faster.

Ten minutes later, a hundred iron horsemen escorted the simply repaired carriage to drive back on the official road, it is worth mentioning that there are two horses in the middle with ropes tied behind Zhao Youcai and Zhao Youfu, two mountain bandit leaders, and they are dragged forward by force, but in a moment's time, they disappeared into the vast wind and snow.

......

Not long after Li Xian and the others left, a large convoy came on the official road in the distance.

Divided into three sections, in front of which is a team of special guards, which can be seen from the naked eye alone, about twenty people, although they are not wearing armor, but the smell of battlefield fighting is extremely strong.

A luxurious carriage in the middle, two zhang wide, the whole body is light green, carved with all kinds of beasts and rare birds, no matter the decoration or the materials can see its preciousness, snowflakes fall to the car cover when it can't help but slide down, keep clean and tidy.

Behind is a carriage dedicated to escorting luggage.

Just as they were about to enter the official road here, the convoy slowly stopped, and a person who obviously looked at the leader of the guard pointed to the cliffs on both sides of the official road in front of him, and soon two scouts rode out and rushed over at great speed.

Merely...... They didn't look at the cliffs on either side of the perimeter as they were told, but turned over and dismounted and looked around.

The leader of the guard, Gongsun Ming looked at the two brothers in the distance who didn't know what they were doing, squinted slightly, he didn't rush to send someone over to inquire, but silently calculated the time in his heart.

For ten minutes, the convoy remained silent, motionless, and the wind and snow gradually piled up on them, as if they had become motionless snowmen.

After a while, the two scouts rode back, one of them rode to Gongsun Ming's side, whispered a few words, but Gongsun Ming's brows suddenly tightened, and then he turned over and dismounted and walked towards the carriage of the Star Guard.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Gongsun Ming knocked on the wooden door, and a majestic voice came from inside, he pushed open the wooden door, and the wind and snow blew in and was immediately blocked, and he shouted to the middle-aged man in the carriage: "Uncle." ”

"Hmm. ”

Gongsun Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and pushed a cup of hot tea on the table to Gongsun Ming: "Drink it first, and then talk about what happened before, you need to stop for so long." ”

Gongsun Ming pulled out a stiff smile, stretched out his calloused hand to hold the delicate teacup, swallowed it all in one go, and then his face suddenly became serious, and he began to report to Gongsun Yan the results of the investigation of the two scouts:

"Uncle, the two brothers found that there was a large-scale battle on the official road ahead, there should be three groups of people, and they found the place where the corpses were hidden, one was dressed as a guard, and the other group was a mountain bandit.

"But...... The most important thing is that according to the traces they observed, there should be a boulder blocking the way, but the boulder has disappeared, and only the martial artist of the Unity Realm can cause this effect. ”

He looked at Gongsun Yan with an expressionless face, and his tone was a little angry and deeply puzzled: "Who dares to do such a thing on the official road, and treats the official government as nothing." ”

"Ming'er, don't stay at the post station on the way, and rush directly to Shangdang County. ”

Gongsun Yan's eyelids shrugged, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, but directly ordered Gongsun Ming: "Go for it!"

Gongsun Ming was a natural soldier, he didn't think too much, he immediately got up and bent down and arched his hand: "Oh!"

Before the wind and snow could blow in, they were blocked out.

Gongsun Yan closed his eyes slightly, the carriage under him was very stable, the coachman's skills were very high, and an incense burner on the table was lit at some point, the smell was clear but not strong, and it was the most pleasant.

The increasing political sensitivity during this period of time is telling him that the official affairs are likely to be involved or directly directed at him, otherwise it is too much of a coincidence?

Mountain bandits?

It's just a mountain bandit, you must know that most of the bandits who can survive in Youzhou now are hidden by some family secrets, who is it? Could it be the Yuan family?

Gongsun Yan opened his eyes, reached out and touched the wall of the car behind him, and found a hidden compartment with ease, and with a light press, the wooden box with the fragrance of pure wood was popped out.

When it was opened, there was a three-legged bronze tripod lying on the red satin, with an ancient style, and an unknown text was engraved on it, which was the size of a palm.

He looked at the antiques that he had received a while ago, his eyes were a little puzzled and a little uncertain, and finally Gongsun Yan let out a breath of turbidity and put this small ding back into the dark compartment.

......

Inn, in one room.

A man was lying on the bed, looking pained, his brows furrowed, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, and his mouth kept muttering: "Don't, don't ......"

"Don't!"

With a loud roar of collapse, Jiang Ru suddenly propped up his waist, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and his mouth was panting, and it took him a long time to barely calm down.

He lifted the bed quilt and got up, paced to the window, and opened a gap slightly, outside the window was endless darkness and heavy snow blowing strong winds, and the outline of the official road dozens of meters away could be vaguely seen.

The chill lifted his spirits a little, and he began to look back on what happened before he fainted.

"Is this a caravanserais? Where's the corpse?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ru suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart, and he was about to rush out of the guest room with his feet raised.

There was a creak, but the door was pushed open first, and a young man dressed as a small guy walked in with a meal, and saw Jiang Rutong rushing over with red eyes, and was immediately startled, and the food in his hand almost fell, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help complaining: "Harm, my lord, are you awake? I was almost so scared that the food in my hand was about to fall to the ground, and this old hen soup has been stewed for several hours." ”

Jiang Ru's expression was almost crazy, he grabbed the little man's arm tightly, and roared, "Where is the corpse?

"My wife, where are the bodies of my children!"

At this moment, even if this little guy no longer had the heart and lungs, he realized the seriousness of the matter, and instantly panicked, his strength seemed to be withdrawn in an instant, his legs and feet were weak, and he hurriedly replied: "The general placed the body in another room, and your daughter is not dead, but in the next room." ”

"Qin'er is not dead, Qin'er is not dead?"

Jiang Ru was stunned for a moment, his pupils were round and staring at the little guy, his nails were sunk deep in his flesh, and he asked again in disbelief: "Qin'er is not dead, Qin'er is not dead?!"

"That little girl didn't die......"

Jiang Ru shook off the little guy all of a sudden, swept left and right, and directly pushed open the door next door and walked in.

Only the little guy leaned against the door with the plate of food, showing a helpless wry smile, and then he slapped himself hard, his face turned red visibly, and he blamed himself: "What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at...... What a stupid thing to do. ”

"It turns out that the two bodies are his wife and son......"

With a heavy sigh, the servant put his meal in the house and turned to leave.

In the next room, Jiang Ru pushed open the door heavily, only to see a little girl lying on the bed, her face covered with cold sweat, her expression was afraid, and her little hands clutched the quilt.

Seeing this, Jiang Ru came to Jiang Qin's side in three steps and two steps, knelt on the ground on both knees, stretched out his hand and carefully wiped the cold sweat from his daughter's face, and his heart was filled with joy and sorrow.

Xu is movement was a little big, Jiang Qin struggled to open his eyes, the eyes that were once full of innocence were full of exhaustion, and the figure in front of him was blurry, and after a while, the little girl saw the person in front of her clearly, and her pupils bloomed with joy little by little: "Daddy......"

Jiang Qin's whole person threw himself into Jiang Ru's arms and cried loudly: "Brother...... Mother...... We were all bullied by the bad guys, and the knife stabbed at my mother from the bad guys, and my brother stood in front of us in order to protect us. ”

"My mother and brother are all trying to protect me...... Where's my father, my mother, and my brother?"

Large tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, although Jiang Qin's age was only five years old, her environment and family background already made her understand the concept of life and death.

"Are my mother and brother never coming back?"

Jiang Ru only felt that his heart was cut back and forth by a blunt knife, he couldn't cry, he couldn't show cowardice in front of his daughter, his eyes were red, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he comforted him gently: "No, no, my mother and brother just went to a far away place, they were seriously injured and needed a long time to recuperate, and when you are old, you will be able to see them." ”

"Really, really?" Jiang Qin looked at his father expectantly.

Jiang Ru smiled reluctantly, patted Jiang Qin's back gently, and focused on his head: "Really, Daddy will never lie to you." ”

Jiang Qin cried and laughed, laughed and cried, and slowly ...... fell asleep in Jiang Ru's arms, but he still muttered in his mouth: "Mother and brother." ”

Jiang Ru just hugged his daughter, looking up at the wooden board above his head expressionlessly, and after a long few minutes, he suddenly showed a miserable smile.

"Crunch", a slight closing sound of the door sounded.

Jiang Ru turned around and looked at the young guy in front of him, he bent down deeply: "My lord, it's all my fault for the villain's recklessness, and I apologize to the adult." ”

Jiang Ruxu picked up the little guy and asked, "What about the people who sent us here?"

"Oh!?After the general gave the order, he took the military masters and left directly!"

"General?"

Jiang Ru frowned slightly, couldn't help but reach out and rub his brows, and said to himself: "Yes, yes, the benefactor was wearing a pair of armor at that time. ”

At that time, he was so focused on the safety of his family that he didn't even care about his life-saving benefactor, and at this time, after being reminded by the little servant, he finally remembered that Li Xian was wearing a pair of armor at that time.

"Yes! It should be the general of the Yamagi battalion. ”

Xiao Wu stretched out his hand and gestured twice to his chest, and said: "The armor depicts the appearance of mountains, which only the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion have in Shangdang. ”

Jiang Ru nodded, his already emotionless cheeks became even colder, and he asked, "What about ...... Did the general send two bandit leaders?"

The young guy looked at Jiang Ru's cold cheeks, and a feeling of fear suddenly rose in his heart, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Yes...... Yes, they are now locked up in the firewood room behind the post station. ”

"Take me there. ”

Hearing this, the little servant said hello, and immediately turned around and went downstairs to take Jiang Ru to the backyard.

In the firewood room in the backyard, two mosquitoes and flies screamed on the ground like worms.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Youfu were dragged behind the horses and ran for half a day, especially Zhao Youfu, the right half of his body was twisted into twist by Li Xian, and he didn't die because of the strong vitality brought by the marrow change stage.

After arriving at the post station, Zhao Youcai immediately enjoyed the same treatment, the bones of his whole body were almost disassembled, and he didn't even let go of his mouth, and I don't know how many soldiers took the opportunity to kick them hard.

However, because the bones were unloaded, and even the qi and blood were sealed by Li Xian with Qi, the two mountain bandit leaders couldn't even commit suicide, and they had to bear the pain of their qi and blood being burned by the red flame all the time.

"Step, step, step......"

There was a sound of footsteps in the snow outside the house, Zhao Youcai raised his eyes and looked at the window of the firewood room, and his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

An eye suddenly appeared in the window opening, it was an extremely cold eye, but under this eternal cold ice was a huge volcano that was about to erupt.
