Although it is a cold winter month, it is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, and Linxi City is becoming more and more lively, many surrounding counties have begun to enter the city to buy New Year goods, and pedestrians and ox carts on the road are endless from morning to night.

There was still goose feather snow in the sky, and Yang Wei pressed the hat down and walked out of the city against the flow of people.

Chiba narrowly avoided a few passers-by who almost hit his shoulder, and scratched his head in annoyance, "Big brother, why did the young master let us do it at the edge of the city? Not to mention that it is too close to the city, there is also a post station, and when the time comes, Jing Zhaoyin will definitely bring a large number of people to pick up Qiu Ji'er and wash the dust, which is not conducive to our action at all." ”

"Since the young master has ordered so, we will do so, when did you see that the young master made a mistake?" Yang Yao was very dissatisfied with Chiba's doubts.

"But----- I can't figure it out, my heart is not steady, how much risk does this have to take, big brother, are you really sure that your brothers will get out of the way?" Although Chiba was usually reckless, he could also see that this mission was really dangerous, which made him have to worry.

Yang Mian looked up at the sky and muttered: "This road, where is there a time when you don't take risks, you can't forget the words of the young master------" was silent, and urged: "Hurry up, this snow, but it's getting bigger and bigger----"

The two of them traveled all the way west until noon, and finally stopped at a simple hut to rest.

Yang Cover stepped forward and shouted, it was an old man who answered the door, the two glanced at each other, and walked into the house with understanding.

"The brothers are ready, when and where will the young master order to do it?" The old man took Yang Bi and Chiba through the main house, and entered the inner courtyard through the back door, but it was a different place.

Yang Bao took off his hat and entered the inner hall, and said hello to others before he carefully explained the mission plan to everyone. Finally, I didn't forget to emphasize again: "Remember, the purpose of this mission is to save people, don't fall in love with war, and retreat immediately when people get it." ”

Everyone should be together, and when the goose feather snow has covered the ground of the house, the heaven and earth suddenly turned into a silver white, and Yang Bi and Chiba and a group of fifty people finally set off in disguise.

But said that Qiu Ji led three hundred Jingwei, walked for more than 20 days to the border of Linxi, compared to the time to go, the return of the footsteps is much faster, fortunately in Mubai has already received the news, two days in advance in the Linxi border post to prepare wine and food waiting, this did not appear to be in a hurry.

"My lord---- Young Master Qiu has already crossed the bridge. ”

Mu Bai was happy, quickly got up and hurriedly greeted, just arrived at the bridge, then saw Qiu Ji riding a horse, Mu Bai hurriedly bowed his hand and congratulated: "Welcome to the general of the town army, the general is gratifying to return triumphantly, the lower official has prepared wine and food in the post house for the general to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and also ask the general to move to the post house." ”

Although Qiu Ji has not yet come out, in order to conform to his identity in this crusade against the Mu'anshan rebel army, Zhuang Yan still gave him the title of temporary general.

Qiu Ji did not dismount, but said: "Guan Ba and the three of them, Jing Zhaoyin was directly escorted back to the Yamen, and the others also invited Jing Zhaoyin to entertain them." ”

Mubai was surprised: "Does the general have to go back to the city first------?

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Ji had already whipped away, and Mu Bai had no choice but to look at Qiu Ji's back and sigh: "This son is extraordinary, there are three hundred people here, and all of them have returned, even when he was a captain, he didn't have such a demeanor." ”

sighed with emotion, and ordered someone to settle down the Jingwei, and the three of Guan Ba sent people to strictly guard them.

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was not only the horses that were uncomfortable on the snow, Wei Za was worried about Qiu Ji's body, and persuaded: "Young master, the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, you can stand it, and the horses can't stand it, it's better to find a shelter to rest, your body has just recovered, you can't toss like this." ”

Qiu Ji looked at the sky, it was indeed not suitable for walking, so he dismounted, and Wei Za also hurriedly dismounted, looking around for a place to shelter from the wind and snow.

"Young master---- it's good here, just carrying the wind and snow. Wei Za led the horse first and tied it up, and then came to lead Qiu Ji's horse, but saw the latter staring at the ground and didn't know what he was doing.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Wei Za stared at the ground, except for the white layer of snow that they had stepped on and had footprints on, he couldn't see anything special.

Qiu Ji stepped on the ground, "Don't you think the snow here is much thinner than other places?"

Wei Za didn't pay attention, so to speak, it is true, the snow in other places will be stepped on, at least it will not reach the ankle, but here is only to the soles of the shoes, he smiled: "It seems that this place is indeed a good place to shelter from the wind and snow, the young master hurriedly went to hide under the stone moire, and we will go again when the snow is lighter." ”

Wei Za led the horse and walked under the stone, and after walking a few steps, Qiu Ji didn't catch up, and turned back, "Young master, don't look at it quickly, let's go quickly." ”

Qiu Ji squatted down to plow the snow instead, and after a while, he saw him pull out a wisp of grass from the snow with a solemn face, and sniffed it closely, his face was shocked, "It's not good, someone has taken prisoners." ”

Before Wei Za could understand, Qiu Ji had already stepped back on his horse.

"Young Master, wait for me. Wei Za didn't have time to ask more, and hurried to lead his horse.

Yang covered his body and waited patiently, he had already figured out the place where the three of Guan Ba were imprisoned, just wait a little longer, and wait until those people in the post house had drunk three rounds, it would be much easier to deal with.

Chiba Cat hurriedly came to Yang Bao's side, and said incoherently: "Big brother---- Qiu Ji---- Qiu Ji is back, back." ”

Yang was taken aback: "Isn't he already gone, why did he come back again?"

Chiba swallowed his saliva, "That stinky boy found out our secret, and the people in front came back to report, he has already rushed back this time, big brother, you should think of a way." ”

Yang Mo also panicked, now is not the best time, but the current situation does not allow them to wait a little longer.

"What should I do, big brother. Chiba hurriedly stamped his feet and asked.

"Don't make any noise. Yang muttered impatiently, and looked around, the brothers were all lying in ambush on the snow, just waiting for his own order to act, his decision was slightly wrong, and the brothers would die here.

"Pass the order, let the brothers in front set fire, and cut off Qiu Ji's path first. He thought for a moment, and finally gave a deep command.

Chiba exclaimed: "Big brother, that road is used to cut off the pursuers, if it burns now, how will the brothers escape later?" We only have fifty people, but they have four or five hundred people, isn't this sending the brothers to death." ”

"Then do you have a better way?" Yang covered angrily, "Inform me, once the three Guan Ba brothers are robbed, everyone will immediately withdraw and disperse, no matter where they go, they will escape first, and then gather in the hut in five days." ”

Chiba also knew that there was no better way, so he could only pass on the news, and when he came back, Yang Bao was already holding a big knife, looked back at everyone, made a gesture, and everyone moved, quietly sneaking into the post station.

"Drink -----" the wind and snow have been too big to open their eyes, the speed of the horse has obviously dropped a lot, Qiu Ji was about to raise the horsewhip to speed up, but saw a fire in front of him, he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped, after a while, his face froze, turned the horse's head, and shouted at Wei Za, who was catching up: "Go back." ”

"What?" Feng Xue Tai Davidza didn't hear clearly, but he saw Qiu Ji coming on horse, he looked forward, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he saw a fire dragon in front of him, devouring them, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head.

However, the speed of the tongue of fire was faster than they had imagined, and the horse was already struggling to run on the snow, and soon Weiza felt a little hot in his stamina, and when he looked back, the fire was about to spread, and he was so frightened that he urged the horse to run forward.
