The outskirts of Xingyang are silent, as far as the eye can see, there is a desolation in the four fields, and the deserted fields are full of lush weeds, there is no doubt that the owner of the field has disappeared, if no one clears the land, it will not be long before these fertile fields will be assimilated by nature and will no longer exist. A vast official road runs through this land, extending straight into the distance, and there is no edge at a glance, but on this official road, there is no pedestrian, giving people a feeling of loneliness, and the cold wind "whining" blows, which deepens this feeling, and seems to be declaring that this land should be so lonely and desolate.

However, no, not long ago, the official road in Xingyang was not like this when the scene was lonely, it was in the early years of the opening of the Queen's Period, Renshou and the Great Cause, the convoys carrying grain, cloth and various goods came from all over the country, passing through this road, rushing to various places, carrying out commercial transactions, very busy, the farmers were working their own land, from time to time they would stop their work to rest for a while, and by the way, they would talk to the convoy guys who stopped on the side of the road for a while, At that time, this land was a scene of busy traffic and people.

It's a pity that these are all things of the past, and with the war, those peaceful and comfortable days are naturally gone, and the people are scattered and fleeing, not to mention it. What's more, since Xingyang was captured by Li Mi's Wagang Righteous Army, the imperial court sent the Zhulu army to crusade against the Wagang army, and the two sides fought several battles in succession between Luoyang-Xingluocang-Xingyang, and the sparsely populated area was turned into a no-man's land, even if Li Mi won again and again, and pushed the war to the gate of Luoyang, but these places that have been deserted cannot be immediately restored to the previous moment. Only the vaguely distinguishable Qianmo trail proves that there was a thriving scene here.

Shi Qingyi hid in this field, completely covering her figure with the tall wild grass, she first stood in the grass, and then became sitting, and then now, lying in the grass at will, not caring about her appearance will lose her image, of course, for the image, Shi Qingyi originally didn't care very much. She just looked at the blue sky, the white clouds drifted by, and the whimpering wind was noisy, but after listening to it for a long time, she felt that her ears seemed to be silent, as if it was a still world, and only the clouds floating in the sky proved that the world was still running.

The human voice broke the noise of the wind, Shi Qingyi's ears moved, his eyes narrowed dangerously, the lazy expression in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a flash of fine light, Shi Qingyi erected his body from the grass, and looked in the direction of the sound.

At this time, Zhai Jiao, who was on the official road, had already encountered a huge crisis.

Zhai Jiao is a rude girl, and she doesn't know anything about the so-called "benevolence, righteousness, filial piety" and the like that often pop out of Confucianism's mouth, but this does not prevent this girl from wanting to face the danger together with her father, but under her father's strength, the girl had to give in, she obeyed her father's words, followed her father's cronies Wang Ruxin, the housekeeper Tu Shufang and more than 20 subordinates loyal to Longtou Mansion quietly walked out of Xingyang City, and went northeast along the official road. planned to defect to the powerful Dou Jiande Department in Hebei, however, just when they wanted to rest in a small forest next to an official road, something happened suddenly. Hearing the sound of an arrow, the person who was guarding everyone in front of the whole team was shot in the throat by a sudden arrow and was killed instantly, and then, a man's voice came out of the forest: "The eldest lady finally returned to Xingyang, and now she is so flustered, where are you going." As the words fell, dozens of figures flashed in the woods, led by a person dressed as a scribe in Tsing Yi, and was looking at Zhai Jiao and his party who were blocked by them with a smile on his face.

"Zu Junyan!" Wang Ruxin stopped Zhai Jiao, who was angry and wanted to rush up, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the ancestral army division has to lead people to block the road this time, and what is the meaning, I will escort the eldest lady out of Xingyang on the order of the big dragon head, if the ancestral army division is still a member of the Wagang army, please don't stop it." Zu Junyan's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, but he shook his head slightly: "Brother Wang asked knowingly, don't be embarrassed, under the order of the secret duke, I want to bring the eldest lady back to Xingyang, and please make it convenient for Brother Wang, don't make me embarrassed." When Wang Ruxin heard this, his face showed anger, and he said hatefully: "Li Mi, an ungrateful villain, if it wasn't for the kindness of the big dragon head back then, how can he have today's status, and he doesn't know how to repay it, and he actually robbed the foundation of the big dragon head, he will definitely not die." Before Zu Junyan could answer, a cold snort came from behind him, and a young man strode out from behind Zu Junyan: "Why should the military advisor talk nonsense with them, killing them all is better than arranging my father's bad words here." ”

The young man is tall, strong, and his face is also very manly, but the expression on his face is extremely arrogant, arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, and his slightly narrowed triangular eyes are like a vicious snake watching its prey, which unconsciously makes people shudder.

"Li Tianfan, even you are here." Wang Ruxin's teeth gritted: "It seems that Li Mi really wants to wipe us all out, and there will be no one left, hum!" It's okay, let's fight to the bottom and line up! Wang Ruxin shouted, and everyone in the Dragon's Head Mansion immediately formed a sharp arrow formation that was good at breaking through, Wang Ruxin stood at the front as a wedge, and the others lined up in turn to form a flank, and Tu Shufang protected Zhai Jiao and stood in the middle of the formation...... Zu Junyan did not order an attack at this time, but continued to speak to Wang Ruxin: "Brother Wang is loyal, and the younger brother is also very respectful, but Zhai Rang is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, although the heroes in this world are rising, but the only person who can achieve great things is Mi Gong, when Jun Yan came, Mi Gong had already said, if Brother Wang can surrender, Mi Gong will regard Brother Wang as a confidant, why don't Brother Wang abandon the secret and surrender to Mi Gong." When the secret prince rules the world, Brother Wang will definitely be famous as a minister of the dragon in the future generations, such a beautiful thing is not exactly the lifelong wish of our literati. Does Brother Wang still refuse? ”

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family. Coupled with the temptation of the dragon minister, isn't this the biggest dream of the literati? Zu Junyan's words can be described as tempting, however, after a short silence, Zu Junyan waited only for Wang Ruxin's cold three words: "No need." He said: "Of course, the big dragon head is not the material that can be the emperor, but how can Confucianism risk the big dragon head in a dangerous situation for their own selfishness, not to mention that the big dragon head has a life-saving grace for me, if I betray for my own life, wouldn't I be a disloyal and unrighteous person." So, Brother Zu be careful. After speaking, Wang Ruxin began to take himself as the sharp arrow. commanded the people in the Great Dragon's Head Mansion to launch a charge against Zu Junyan's men and horses.

His own mention was rejected, Zu Junyan sighed and waved his hand behind him, and immediately, Li Mi's subordinates, who were originally standing behind Zu Junyan, also formed a half-moon formation for defense, and Zu Junyan immediately retreated into the formation, waiting for the two teams to collide with each other.

Although the number of people is much smaller than the other party, Wang Ruxin still did not hesitate to rush forward, the blade formation is the formation of the charge, as long as he can break through the opponent's formation, Uncle Tu can easily escort the eldest lady to leave safely, as for Wang Ruxin's own life and death, he has long been out of the way. The two sides then fought fiercely together. Although Zu Junyan's subordinates are also good players, and the half-moon formation is also the best way to defend against the front arrow formation, it is still broken through by Wang Ruxin from the center of the formation, and it is only a matter of time before the formation is completely penetrated. However, neither Zu Junyan nor Li Tianfan showed any surprise, and they didn't make a move at all, as if they were all expected.

You can already see the opposite road, Wang Ruxin was about to stand out in one go, when there was a sudden sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air behind him, Wang Ruxin noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly dodged, but because of the enemy in front of him, he couldn't dodge, and was hit in the left arm by a knife, and several exclamations came out of the blade formation at the same time. But it was a few people who had been acting as defenders in the formation who suddenly attacked. At this critical moment, the weapon in his hand was waved to his former companions, without any defense, not only killed and injured many people in an instant, but more importantly, the sharp arrow formation was immediately chaotic, and in an instant, the enemy surrounded on all sides was split into several small circles and surrounded by them, under the siege of the superior Zu Junyan's manpower, these small circles were quickly bulldozed, just a short moment, the people who could continue to fight in the field, only Wang Ruxin, Tu Shufang and a few people around them were left.

Zhai Jiao has also brandished a heavy iron rod to join the battle at this time, Zhai Jiao's martial arts are mediocre, but she is born with divine power, and she can play a greater role in the melee at this time, an iron rod is whirring and whirring by her, but where there is an enemy in front of her, she is smashed down with a stick, and she is injured next to death, no one brought by Zu Junyan can stop her, and Uncle Tu Fang followed closely behind Zhai Jiao, closely following Zhai Jiao's safety, at the moment of civil strife, There were two traitors who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Zhai Jiao, but they were discovered by Tu Shufang, who was always vigilant around, and then the two of them didn't even block a move, and they both died under Tu Shufang's pair of fleshy palms. Therefore, she only cared about moving forward desperately, and when no one could stop her, she was forced to break out of a passage, and she was about to break out of the siege.

Li Tianfan couldn't bear to rush forward, but was entangled by Wang Ruxin, who retreated to the end of the team because of his injury, at this time Wang Ruxin was holding a fine steel fan, and was fighting Li Tianfan to the death, and the long knife used when he rushed into battle had been discarded by him at will. Wang Ruxin was not good at using a knife, and the reason why he could use it was only because a weapon like a knife was more suitable for charging into battle, but fighting alone, Wang Ruxin was still good at using a steel fan against the enemy, especially when facing Li Tianfan.

Wang Ruxin knew that he was definitely not his opponent, so Wang Ruxin only attacked but could not defend, and he was desperate to make trouble for Li Tianfan by exchanging injuries for injuries. As the saying goes, if a person makes up his mind desperately, 10,000 people have to go around, although Li Tianfan's martial arts are high, he is still entangled by Wang Ruxin, and he can't cross him to catch up with Zhai Jiao, not to mention that weapons such as steel fans are Qimen blades that are different from ordinary swords. Li Tianfan couldn't figure out Wang Ruxin's martial arts for a while, so he couldn't get out with his strength.

Zu Junyan still didn't make a move, and continued to wait and see, but seeing that Zhai Jiao was about to break out of the siege, the eyes of this Li Mi's henchman couldn't help but flash a few traces of coke oven, but his face remained calm, and I don't know when, next to Zu Junyan, a thin old man dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared there.
