The next day, the early morning mist filled the forest, the sun's brilliance shone on the mist, and the refraction of the mist fell on the forest like a little broken gold, and the fallen leaves penetrated through the sunlight from time to time, as if it were a fairyland on earth.

A quaint carriage was slowly passing through it, its wheels squeaking over the wet leaves.

However, Zhou Heng was not the only one in the car, Mao Shanming also rushed up.

"Little brother, little brother, wait......" Zhou Heng was just about to step into the carriage, and Mao Shanming also came out with his luggage.

"Dao Chief, what is the matter with me?" Zhou Heng stopped and turned around, looking at Maoshan Mingdao who was trotting over.

"Hehe, little brother, in Xia Wang Ming, the people in the rivers and lakes call it "Maoshan Ming", if you don't dislike it, I'll take it up, little brother, you just call me Uncle Bang. Mao Shanming smiled and said almost simply.

"My name is Zhou Heng, Uncle Ming, don't you know what you called me?" Zhou Heng smiled slightly.

"Hehe, if you don't mind, I'll call you Little Brother Zhou!" Mao Shan Ming smiled, scratched his scalp with his hands a little unnaturally, and said, "Little Brother Zhou, I don't know where you are going to leave in such a hurry?"

"No, I just came back from a foreign country, my heart is on Xuanmen, and I am traveling to increase my knowledge at the moment, this place is just a village I passed by. Zhou Heng shook his head with a smile.

"It turns out that Little Brother Zhou is also a traveler, so if this is the case, why don't we find an inn to rest in the evening, and everyone will set off on the road together tomorrow morning, so that we can take care of it?" Mao Shan smiled shyly, in fact, he took a fancy to Zhou Heng's skills and that compelling masculine blood, after seeing Zhou Heng easily clean up a few ghosts, he had an idea, if he can join forces with himself, then it will not be rich?

Although Zhou Heng didn't know Mao Shanming's true thoughts, he believed that there was no unprovoked love and unjustified hate in this world, everything had a cause and effect, and there must be something wrong with Mao Shanming's obvious approach.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Ming, I asked Master Tan for a message, saying that there will be a gang of horse thieves who want to ransack the Fugui Village next door tonight, and the soldiers are panicked these days. I thought I'd rush over now and see if I could help. Zhou Heng looked at Mao Shanming and said half-truthfully.

"What, there are horse thieves who want to ransack the village tonight?" Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Mao Shanming's face was shocked. His eyes rolled with a purr, and a smile on his stiff face was more ugly than crying: "Little Brother Zhou is really chivalrous, I am really ashamed." Even if I want to do my best and contribute, but my old arms and legs are strong and my heart is not enough. It really doesn't help much. In order not to fill in anything, I am here to wish the little brother Zhou a great show of his might, cut off the horse thieves one by one, and return our people to peace and stability. Since Little Brother Zhou still has something to do, then I won't delay your big event!

That's it. Without waiting for Zhou Heng to say anything, Mao Shanming quickly jumped out of the carriage at a fork in the road with his suitcase and walked in the other direction.

Mao Shanming heard that Zhou Hengming knew that there were horse thieves in the next village to loot, and he even thought about the past, he had seen a lot of this kind of hot-blooded young man, and a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, even if he was powerful and had great ability, the old Jianghu oilman with Mao Shanming's clear responsibility and protection principle naturally refused to go over together. In his opinion, this is an act of sending him to death, and it is better not to be with this kind of stunned youth, otherwise he doesn't know when he will cause disaster to himself.

Looking at Mao Shanming, who was chasing fast like a ghost behind him, Zhou Heng shook his head with a smile, he didn't have any words about Mao Shanming's behavior, after all, the rivers and lakes have been mixed for a long time, and the longer people live, the more they know how to avoid evil, not to mention the old rivers and lakes like Mao Shanming.

Didn't pay attention to Mao Shanming. Zhou Heng also has a plan in his heart.

The cool breeze is blowing, and the night is getting thicker.

Zhou Heng rode in a carriage on the road to Fugui Village, surrounded by dark woods and the cries of unknown birds and beasts, and I don't know how many treacherous things are hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, if it weren't for Zhou Heng's boldness. Ordinary people are afraid that they will not have the life to walk on this road.

Fifty miles of road, not long, not short, ordinary people can walk about 5 to 6 kilometers in an hour, and it takes four or five hours to walk 50 miles, that is, the coachman is afraid of walking at night, so it took him an hour and a half to cross several hills and two winding rivers, to a wood.

The coachman refused to go, it was too far away from the town, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the town before it got dark if he delayed for a while, in this tragic era of warlords fighting ghosts, it was dark, it was not a good word, there would be strongmen robbing the road on the road, imps harming people, goblins killing people, etc. would happen in the dark night, Zhou Heng was not embarrassed for him, and the husband put Zhou Heng outside the woods and drove away quickly.

In the woods, there is only one dirt road about four or five meters that the villagers have carved out, and there are gloomy and dense tree branches on both sides, and there are a few night owl cries on both sides from time to time, and the quiet forest has a strange atmosphere.

Feeling the atmosphere of the woods, Zhou Heng frowned, silently stretched out his hand behind his back, pulled out the peachwood sword, and strode forward along the path.

"Goo-goo!

Just when Zhou Heng was holding the peachwood sword and walking, suddenly there was a regular cuckoo-like sound from the side of the woods, and when Zhou Heng's keen ears listened, he heard that this sound was learned by people, and just looked in the direction of the sound, but only heard a wind sound coming from his head, Zhou Heng's body shook, his feet stepped on, the figure shook to the side, and the black shadow brushed Zhou Heng's body and smashed over.

Boom!!!

There was a muffled sound, and it turned out to be a huge tree that smashed heavily on the place where he was standing just now, if he hadn't dodged quickly, he was afraid that he would have been smashed into a piece of meatloaf by now.

"Catch him!"

A few people with knives or sticks suddenly rushed out on both sides of the woods, looking at what they were wearing, they were obviously ordinary people, and they were holding knives, guns, and sticks and hit Zhou Heng fiercely.

Seeing these people, Zhou Heng guessed that they were probably the villagers of Fugui Village, and they also received the news that the horse thieves were going to loot, and these people should have come to inquire about the news.

Since he guessed who these people were, Zhou Heng didn't hurt their minds, his steps stepped forward, his body was sideways, avoiding the knife that was slashing at his head, his right hand moved, and the peachwood sword in his hand slapped his right shoulder, the person's shoulder hurt, and the knife in his hand naturally couldn't hold it and fell, and the other few people with sticks and lassoes, Zhou Heng didn't use his strength, relying on his agility, one person and one sword, "whoosh" a few times, and directly picked the weapons in their hands to the ground.

"Kill !!---"

It seemed that a few people were knocked down, and shouts of killing broke out on both sides of the woods, and then countless torches lit up, and dozens of people rushed out with knives, guns, sticks, etc., surrounding Zhou Heng.

"Stop!" Just when Zhou Heng was about to explain, a calm shout came from the back of the crowd, and then the crowd in the north automatically moved out of the way, and a middle-aged man with a square face who seemed to be forty or fifty years old with frosty temples but a sharp spirit walked out, he was the ninth uncle with great prestige in Fugui Village.

"Master, you're here!" A ghostly person with small glasses who was originally surrounding Zhou Heng saw Uncle Jiu, and while being wary of Zhou Heng, he walked up to Uncle Jiu and said with a flattering smile.

"Well, we are here to ambush the horse thieves, why are you engaged in such a big battle?" Uncle Nine raised his two sword eyebrows, and looked at his apprentice Ah Qiang with a majestic expression.

"No, master, this person walked at night in the middle of the night, I suspect that he is an accomplice of the horse thief, and he came to find out our truth first, so I wanted to arrest him and torture him, but he actually injured several of our brothers......" Ah Qiang pointed a knife at Zhou Heng, who was standing in the middle, and explained to Uncle Jiu with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"It's just nonsense!" Looking at the peachwood sword in Zhou Heng's hand and the Taoist robe he was wearing, as well as a few villagers who were basically uninjured, and looking at Zhou Heng, who was still calm when he was surrounded by dozens of people, Uncle Nine snorted and said, "Can't you see that people have shown mercy?"

After speaking, he didn't care about Ah Qiang, walked in front of him while looking at Zhou Heng, and said with his hands clasped into his fists: "Hello little brother, in Xia Lin Jiu, it's okay to call me Uncle Jiu, we are the villagers of Fugui Village, not robbers, but I don't know why you appeared here in the middle of the night, little brother?"

"It turns out that you are the villagers of Fugui Village, hello Uncle Jiu, in next Zhou Heng, when I was on the road today, I happened to hear a news, saying that there was a gang of horse thieves who wanted to ransack your Fugui Village, so I specially ran here to inform you, but I didn't expect you to know in advance, and it seems that a lot of arrangements have been made. Zhou Heng also arched his hand.

"I see, thank you Little Brother Zhou for your will!" Uncle Nine cupped his fists and arched his hand, and said thank you, in the troubled times, the righteous people who can risk the danger to report to their group of ordinary people, this kind of person Uncle Nine admires the most.

"Uncle Nine is too polite, and I didn't help much. Zhou Heng shook his head and said.

"You can't say that, little brother Zhou can come after hearing the news......" Uncle Jiu didn't agree with Zhou Heng's thoughts, shook his head and wanted to say something, but suddenly a villager quickly ran over and interrupted him.

"Uncle Nine, we saw that the gang of horse thieves had already crossed the mountains outside the mountain, the river in the river, and they would come here in two miles. ”

"Let's put out the torches and hide them all!" Hearing the news from the villagers, Uncle Nine waved his hand very decisively and made arrangements.

Uncle Jiu was highly respected in Fugui Village, and under an order, all the villagers put out the fire, and one by one they went into the hiding place that they had already found, and hid again......
