The north of Lanzhou is mountainous, wooded, and hilly, and the small hills are located in the middle, resulting in complex and changeable terrain, and also creating a vacuum area under the rule of the Great Wei, so many bandits have been breeded.

Some bandits are serious bandits who take bandits as a profession, and some bandits are not so professional, they are ordinary people on weekdays, but they become robbers when they turn their heads.

It's not that the Pingtou people want to be bandits, but they are forced to be helpless, the professional bandits bully the Pingtou people, and the Pingtou people sue the officials, but it is difficult to get practical compensation, so they can only pick up hoes and sickles to rob those passing land guests.

Wang Qinian, the governor of Lanzhou, once said a very classic sentence: "A toothache is not a disease, it hurts really badly, bandits are not thieves, thieves are really thieves." ”

It is difficult to achieve results in suppressing bandits every year, but this year is different, all major states and counties have sent troops to suppress bandits, and the results have been remarkable, and the largest group of bandits has been suppressed. Those unprofessional bandits are even more happy, and they usually can't help but say, "The world is as black as crows, and those who are officials are crows", and now they are also appreciated.

One day, there were three people and a horse passing north of Lanzhou, the horse was really thin, so thin that the three of them were embarrassed to ride, and the horse frame was quite large, and the body did not bear heavy loads, and it was carried by a strong man.

The three of them looked different, dressed very ordinarily, and the strong man with the burden was tall and tall, with a silly smile on his face. Another person was a little too handsome, with red lips and white teeth, a cynical smile at the corner of his mouth, a grass root in his mouth, and an unknown tune. The last person had a resolute face, and was obviously the most important of the three.

Among them, the handsome man took out a piece of dry cake from the strong man's baggage, handed it to the top person, and asked, "Brother Chengping, it's been half a month, why haven't you come to Lanzhou?" Listening to you talk about how the eldest sister is captivating the country and how she is unparalleled in the world, I can't help but want to see the eldest sister as soon as possible. ”

Usually Lin Chengping often thinks about Lin Wan'er in the barracks, everyone is used to it, and they all call Lin Wan'er the eldest sister, although they haven't met, but this handsome man feels that he has known Lin Wan'er for a long time.

Lin Chengping took the cake, broke a piece and handed it to the strong man, a smile spread on his face, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "It's soon, it's almost there." ”

Seeing Lin Chengping laughing, the strong man also smiled, also with white teeth.

"Da Zhuang, what are you laughing at? Brother Chengping is going to see the eldest sister, what are you happy about. The handsome man knocked on the door of the big man's head, and handed him a piece of pickled pickles.

Da Zhuang took the pickles stupidly, hehe.

Lin Chengping touched Da Zhuang's head, every time he saw Da Zhuang, he couldn't help but think of Da Bao, and he didn't know what was going on at home now.

Lin Chengping seemed to remember something, and asked the handsome man: "Zhao Feng, you haven't been home for several years, and now that the Qingming Festival is coming, you should go home to have a look." ”

Zhao Feng showed an impatient look on his face, and snorted coldly: "The family is too big and chaotic, it's better not to go back when I go home, I just wanted to come to Lanzhou with Brother Chengping to see the eldest sister, and I wondered if I could match the eldest sister and my brother into a pair." ”

Zhao Feng rarely said anything about his family, Lin Chengping only knew that Zhao Feng was from Shangjing and was a big family, and he didn't know that Zhao Feng had a brother, so he asked, "Do you have another brother?" ”

"Uncle's." Zhao Feng explained, and continued: "I also have a younger sister, and this is my own sister. When it comes to family affairs, Zhao Feng is always a little impatient, and only when he talks about his sister does he show a little tenderness.

Zhao Feng said embarrassedly: "Brother Chengping, my sister is good-looking and well-behaved, are you interested?" "Zhao Feng has Lin Wan'er's characteristics, that is, she loves to join in the fun and match people, so don't match the marriage between Brother Ping and his sister.

Lin Chengping remembered the shadow in the desert wind and sand, but between the sparks of swords, guns, swords, halberds, Lin Chengping and the man wearing the Hun armor glanced at each other, and from then on he always remembered that person's eyes, clear like an oasis in the desert, like a jewel, full of beating aura.

While talking, the three of them walked to a stream,

Lin Chengping checked the terrain and said, "Let's rest here." ”

Zhao Feng Nunu mouthed, tied the horse to a tree with fat water and grass, helped Da Zhuang untie his bags, and said: "Brother Chengping, it's almost home, just find a place to rest, you won't find such a place with mountains and rivers back, and it's not a march to fight." ”

Lin Chengping didn't speak, picked up a folding fork, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped into the stream to catch fish. Zhao Feng and Da Zhuang packed up the firewood.

Lin Chengping is a well-known master of catching fish in the Zhenbei Army, and he doesn't know what's going on today, his heart is always calm, and he hasn't caught a fish for a long time. Lin Chengping also forgot what the eldest sister said, whether it was the left eye jumping wealth, the right eye jumping disaster, or the left eye jumping disaster, the right eye jumping wealth.

The three of them were doing their own things step by step, and Hulala didn't know where a bunch of people ran out, standing on a high place, shouting: "I planted this tree, I opened this mountain, I want to pass by here, and leave to buy road money!" ”

Lin Chengping and the three of them showed the plain zhì that a soldier should have, Lin Chengping's body leaned forward instantly, and the posture of holding the fork became a fork, Zhao Feng turned over and went to the front of the bag, threw a big knife to Da Zhuang, and pulled out a short gun himself, a standard gripping posture.

The three of them looked at the people, and they couldn't stop laughing, and there were a bunch of thieves standing on the opposite hillside, saying that it was a bunch of them, because there was no team at all, you push me, I pushed you, so it's not lively.

The thief had a hoe and sickle in his hand, and he was wearing tattered clothes, and the most ridiculous thing was that there was a village woman who came with a child in her arms, holding a hammer for washing clothes, and the child was jolted and cried, and the village woman kept coaxing the child.

Zhao Feng's face was the most exciting, and he didn't know how to treat this group of thieves for a while, so he asked, "Brother Chengping, what should I do?" ”

Lin Chengping didn't know what to do, let's fight, it's not easy to start, thinking in his heart what the eldest sister would say when she encountered this situation, and then learned Lin Wan'er's tone, and said sternly: "Surround them." ”

Zhao Feng finally couldn't help it, laughing, Brother Chengping is such a person, he is really fierce, he dares to fight with the Hun scout team alone, he looks like a big girl, the three of them want to surround a group of bandits, and roll their eyes from time to time, warp orchid fingers, etc., and so on.

There was a person walking out of the thieves on the mountain, if Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan could recognize this person at a glance, it was Yang Erxi of Yangzhuang. Yang Erxi slapped Han Qingshan in the Lin family's courtyard, and after escaping back to Yangzhuang, the more he thought about it, the more he felt unsafe, thinking that he would go to the capital to mix around, and came here alone, but he saw a ** in the village, so he simply didn't leave, he picked up water and chopped wood every day, and he was very diligent.

Yang Erxi shouted at the three people under the mountain: "Those who pass by, we will rob money but not lives, and leave the passing money to let you live." ”

Zhao Feng put down the short gun in his hand and shouted at the strange-shaped villagers on the mountain: "If the master wants money, he will die." ”

"Hey!" Yang Erxi shouted angrily, and his temper also came up, he had seen Zhao Gan's skin and goods before, and it didn't matter if he couldn't beat it, but today he met a person who refused to suffer a loss, and he was about to rush down with a hoe, but he was pulled by the pretty **.

Yang Erxi's whole person immediately wilted down and stood beside him.

Qiao ** shouted: "I'm also for your good, leave the money to buy the road, save your life, if you encounter the real bandits on the mountain in front, it is not a simple thing that money can solve, even your life is gone." ”

When Lin Chengping heard that there were bandits, he frowned and asked, "I am originally from Lanzhou, and I have never heard of bandits on the mountains in front of me. "It has been five years since Lin Chengping left Lanzhou, and he really doesn't know about bandits.

Yang Erxi snorted and chirped and walked out from behind ** and just wanted to speak, but after glancing at the person he liked, he didn't dare to speak. Yang Erxi has the strength to talk to people, and talking to people is more about fists and feet, and the technical work of talking is really not something he can do.

** shouted: "Look at this son, he has also been away from Lanzhou for many years, and I don't know what is going on in Lanzhou now." The bandits on the hill in front are real bandits. I heard that I have recently gone to Lanzhou City to find a noble person's bad luck, and the rest of the bandits are also good at killing people without blinking. ”

Lin Chengping's heart tightened for some reason, as if he had developed a habit on the battlefield, and he had an inexplicable encounter with danger, and then asked, "Nobleman?" Which nobleman? ”

** Somewhat uncertain replied, "I don't know, it seems to be ...... Surname Lin? ”

Lin Chengping secretly screamed badly, took a deep breath, tightened the strangely shaped fork in his hand, and sank into the dantian, like an arrow off the string, the dragon soared and the tiger leaped, and instantly flew out of more than ten zhang, speeding away in the direction of Lanzhou.
