At this time, there are quite a lot of woods near the capital, far from the appearance of the imperial capital of later generations, the scenery around this three-way intersection does not have too many traces of artificial carving, the forest is covered with snow, ten thousand households are sparse, only the sound of beast roaring and birdsong occasionally comes.

Here is the Yongding River in the northwest, there is a spring path by the river, along this road can lead to the inner line of the Great Wall along the estuary of the Thousand Households Guard; To the north is the post road branch line to Huailai Horse Station, which can lead to the town border city, Changyu City and Baiyangkou, which are very close to each other, and the guard of the thousand households, which is the key pass to guard against the Tatars, and the imperial court has plenty of troops here; Due north is directly leading to Changping, where there are not only the local eunuchs who guard Changping, but also a member of the general military officer of Changping, and a member of the military equipment of the Changping Division.

Although Gao Pragmatic was a little nervous at this time, and even felt that his hands and feet were a little weak, his brain was not scared to death, and he subconsciously thought that Xiangma was unlikely to come from the direction of Changping or Huailai Horse Station, because there were imperial armies on both sides, and it was not easy for Xiangma to survive in those places.

But the fact was out of Gao Pragmatic's expectations, when the horse thieves rushed out from the forest post road branch leading to Huailai Horse Station, Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but be a little stunned. As a former secretary who likes to make estimates and arrangements in advance, this kind of unexpected thing is very uncomfortable for him.

Gao pragmatic glanced at Zhang Jin a little farther away with a worried face, only to see Zhang Jin riding on a horse, his face was cold, his eyes were sharp, and he couldn't see any nervousness. The more than 30 guards who escorted Gao Shi had already mounted their horses, none of them carrying knives in their hands, but they were each holding a horse bow in their left hand and a goose feather arrow in their right hand. To Gao Pragmatism's surprise, they did not gather together, but scattered in many places. Gao Shishi hurriedly observed and found that the point where they stood was basically the front half of the carriage, probably some kind of scattered formation to protect the carriage.

The horse Gao Xiaozhuang was riding looked like he was in good shape, but I am afraid it was not a military horse, he was a little impatient on this occasion, and he refused to be quiet when he turned around, but Gao Xiaozhuang was not in a hurry, and touched the horse's neck to appease him, and the horse was quiet.

Gao Mo's performance was probably the most relaxed, he was originally sitting in front of the carriage, but at this time, he had already jumped out of the carriage, holding the Yanling knife in his hand, his face was calm, and he didn't even make any defensive gestures. But even if he just stopped by the side of the car at random, he still had an awe-inspiring and inviolable momentum.

People who fight old battles are really different even in momentum.

What was more surprising was that the Xiangma side did not seem to expect that there would be a convoy here at the three-way intersection, and it was still an armed convoy, and after they poured out of the forest post road, they hesitated slightly, and then immediately separated their wings, making a semi-outflanking posture.

Zhang Jin pinched the horse's belly slightly, stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "Who is in front, can you know that we are the family members of Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, what do you want to block our way?" ”

At this time, the Xiangma Brigade all rushed out, with more than two or three hundred horses, and the momentum was not small. After Zhang Jin finished speaking, a bald man with eyes like copper bells rode out of the ringing horse team and asked loudly: "Uncle, I don't know your Zhang Shilang, and I didn't plan to do anything, but ...... Hey! ”

The big man smiled cruelly: "Uncle, I see that the carriage among you is very beautiful, and I want to ask if it is the daughter of your Shaozuka Zai, if so, uncle, I want to be a cheap son-in-law for your Shaotsuka Zai!" ”

Shaozuka Zai is another name for the servant of the ministry.

Zhang Jin's face changed, and he said coldly: "Do you know the fate of offending my master?" You have fled to the ends of the earth, as long as you are still in the world, my master can dig you out and cramp and peel you by digging three feet into the ground. ”

The big man laughed: "When Lao Tzu becomes the son-in-law of your young mound, your lord will be reluctant to kill Lao Tzu in front of his daughter." When he said this, all the horses burst out laughing.

Gao Shishi's mind was full of thoughts, and he suddenly lifted the car curtain, revealing his small body, and said loudly: "Wu Na man, I'm afraid your plan is going to fail, there is only Zhang Shilang's nephew here, and there is no Zhang Shilang's daughter." ”

The bald man didn't expect such a result inside, but his eyes were very vicious, and when he saw the delicate trolling on Gao Shishi's body, he knew that the little boy in front of him was right-just such a dress, he couldn't take it without ten taels of silver, even if Zhang Shilang had money, he wouldn't dress the boy who was waiting at home like this.

But Zhang Jin on the side was anxious and shouted, "Young Master Cousin, go back to the car!" ”

Gao Mo glanced back at Gao Pragmatic in some surprise, hesitated slightly, and then came up with a sentence: "The eldest young master is so courageous." ”

The bald man also seemed to feel that his "majesty" was despised, and snorted coldly: "I heard that those high-ranking officials and nobles are so good men, uncle, I see that your kid looks beautiful and beautiful, Lao Tzu will try it today, and see how the little baby plays with women!" ”

The guards of the Zhang family were furious when they heard this, and they scolded angrily. Gao Xiaozhuang was confused, and seemed to be a little confused about what the big man meant, but when he saw the horses on the other side showing obscene or mocking smiles, he also knew that it was definitely not a good word, and his face gradually became difficult to see, and the Yanling knife in his hand was tight and tight, and it seemed that he was just waiting for Zhang Jin's order, and he couldn't wait to cut off the head of the bald man on the other side before he realized his hatred.

Gao Mo's eyes glanced slightly towards the road leading to Changping on the right, but he didn't speak, and he didn't move.

After the bald man finished speaking, he didn't seem to want to waste any more time, raised his right hand, pressed forward, and drank in a low voice: "Kill them!" ”

"Wait!" Gao Pragmatic suddenly shouted: "Wu Na man, this son has something to ask you!" ”

The bald man seemed to hear something interesting, and stopped the horse that was about to attack, but just made a gesture by the way to get them ready, and then smiled: "What's the matter, little boy, do you still want to persuade the uncle to change my mind?" That's not possible, uncle, what I said in front of so many brothers can't be easily repented. If you have anything to ask, you might as well wait for Uncle and I to be comfortable later, and then Uncle will be in a good mood, maybe he will tell you. ”

Gao Pragmatic can still laugh, and hahahaha laughs non-stop.

The bald man was furious: "Little rabbit, what are you laughing at?" I'll make you laugh enough! ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head, stopped laughing, and said loudly: "I laugh at you and don't know that you are dying." ”

The bald man's face changed, his eyes glanced left and right, and he shouted, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lao Tzu is so dignified, what is dying? I think you're dying! ”

Gao pragmatic did not answer, but clasped his hands to his chest, with a smiling expression waiting to watch the play.

The bald man's eyes wandered, and he asked again: "Are you kid in the same group as those people?" Then he didn't care much, and drank the order: "Spread out and search for me!" ”
