At the second watch, countless black shadows came from all directions to the convoy, and the soldiers standing guard suddenly found out, and he shouted, "Who is it?" ”

In the dark, an arrow 'whoosher!' The ground shot and hit the soldier in the chest, and the soldier screamed and fell on his back.

His screams alarmed the other soldiers, and the leader was shouting, "There are thieves!" ”

More than a dozen black-clad thieves rushed forward and slashed at the soldiers' heads, and the soldiers drew their swords to resist, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Kang Baohuo stood up, and he used his fist 'Boom! Boom! After a few knocks on the carriage, "Little lady fish wake up!" ”

Xiao Yu Niang underwent strict training in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and she was very alert when she slept, and the screams outside woke her up suddenly, she immediately drew her sword in her hand, and put the flying knife bag on her body, and there were twelve flying knives inside.

Xue Tao was awakened by the sound of knocking on the wall, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It seems that there are thieves outside, Sister Tao stays in the carriage, and I get on the roof of the car."

She pulled the window, jumped out as soon as she jumped over, and jumped on the roof of the car lightly, Xue Tao's face turned pale with fright, and she held Xiao'e's hand tightly.

Five or six thieves rushed towards the carriage, and with a sneer, Kang Bao flashed out of the carriage and swung his stick, only to hear 'Click! With a bang, the thief who was running in the front was beaten to the bone and broke his tendons, and flew more than a foot away.

Kang Bao immediately took the stick and hit back, this is a trick taught to him by Guo Song, he can recover his power as quickly as possible, this is the essence of the nine styles of the sword, as long as he understands this move, Kang Bao will be more skillful and ingenious in the use of power, the speed of the stick will be faster, and his martial arts will be greatly improved.

Although he is just getting started, he has more than tripled his efficiency.

'Bang! One of the bandits was shot in the head, and his skull shattered and his brain burst out.

The leader of the bandits came with more than ten people to rob the carriage, and when he saw that Kang Bao was strong, he immediately ordered: "Everyone kill him together!" ”

Eight or nine bandits immediately surrounded Kangbao, and one of the bandits was stabbing Kang Bao in the back of the heart with a spear, when suddenly a cold light flashed, and a flying knife pierced the back of his neck, and the bandits fell to the ground.

Immediately after two more robbers behind Kang Bao were shot through by the flying knife, the danger in Kang Bao's rear suddenly decreased, he roared, the copper rod flew over, and killed five bandits in a blink of an eye, and the other two robbers saw that he was extremely strong, so frightened that they turned around and ran, Kang Bao took two quick steps and killed the bandit leader.

The bandit leader was a step slower, he turned around to flee, but Kang Bao had already caught up with him, and saw that the copper rod was about to hit him in the back of the head, but he saw a cold light shooting, and a flying knife shot through the back of the bandit leader's heart, and the bandit leader screamed and died on the spot.

Kang Bao withdrew the copper rod, turned his head and glared at the little fish girl on the roof of the car, and said loudly: "Don't leave the carriage!" ”

The little fish girl smiled and said, "I know! ”

Kang Bao turned around and ran to the periphery, there was still a fierce battle, the number of soldiers was less than half of the other side, they gradually lost the upper hand, as Kang Bao entered strongly, a dozen thieves suddenly collapsed, died to death, escaped, and the fierce battle quickly subsided.

The leader team is lighting a torch and giving a thumbs up to Kang Bao, "Kang Ye is really a fierce general!" ”

He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Kang Bao, they would all be here today, and none of them would want to live, but this Kang Bao was too brave, and he could easily kill a dozen people, even a general might not be able to do it.

Kang Bao didn't say a word, returned to Xue Tao's carriage and sat down, as if nothing had happened.

The team sighed in their hearts, "This is the master!" ”

He shouted loudly: "Xue Yuanjun, the bandits have been killed, and the rest have fled, it's okay!" ”

Hearing that the thieves had fled, several coachmen hiding under the car came out tremblingly and lit torches one after another, at this time, Xue Xun also came out of the carriage and asked in a trembling voice, "How many escaped?" Will they ever come back? ”

"Probably not, only five people escaped, and even their leader is dead, if I guess correctly, they are the famous Meridian Thieves, who have been active in the Meridian Valley Road for the past few years."

Xue Xun put down his heart, clasped his palms and thanked him: "Thanks to Yang Teamzheng today, otherwise my family would not have survived." ”

Team Yang grinned and said: "I can't afford to be praised by the envoy, so I should thank Kang Ye!" Basically, he killed him alone, I have never seen such a brave samurai, he is simply a fierce general of the three armies. ”

Xue Xun hurriedly clasped his palms to thank Kang Bao, Kang Bao waved his hand, but said to Team Yang: "Team Yang is praising me too much, my martial arts are nothing, and I don't even deserve to carry shoes for my father-in-law." ”

Xue Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Is Dong Zhang's martial arts very good?" ”

Kang Bao laughed shamefully and said: "Zhang Fatzi will also be able to make a few moves of the three-legged cat's swordsmanship, my lord is Guo Yuanjun, not him." ”

Xue Xun was confirmed, his guess was good, Kang Bao and Xiaoyu Niang were indeed arranged by Guo Song.

At this time, Xiao Yuniang said in a long voice in the carriage: "Uncle Kang, you seem to have forgotten me." ”

Kang Bao nodded and praised: "Your flying knife is very powerful!" ”

At this time, Xue Tao said to his father Xue Xun: "Daddy, your book is still temporarily stored in the Hanzhong Mansion!" Please send Hanzhong to Jianzhou, otherwise we will always be targeted. ”

Xue Tao Bingxue is smart, she feels that her father's dozens of big bookcases have given the thieves too much imagination, and this time the thieves attacked them, I am afraid they are coming for dozens of big boxes.

Xue Xun suddenly came to his senses, and he nodded again and again: "You're right, it's better for me to temporarily store it in the Hanzhong Mansion!" ”

Team Yang is counting the casualties, two of his men were killed and two were injured, but fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and they could be bandaged.

They gathered up the corpses, and did not dare to rest any longer, so they set out for the night, and the carriage hastened southward, and Kang Bao also captured two horses, one for him to carry a brass stick, and the other for him to ride, which could keep up with the procession.

..........

Guo Song led a thousand soldiers disguised as bandits to march day and night, and arrived at Wagang Mountain in Huazhou five days later.

Wagang Mountain is hundreds of miles in circumference, the mountain is majestic and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were anti-Sui forces such as Zhai Rang and Li Mi to divide here.

At present, due to Li Lingyao's rebellion, borrowing Tian Chenghe's army, defeated Li Mian who was sitting in the Central Plains, Li Mian led 20,000 defeated soldiers to retreat to the Tiger Pass, Li Lingyao's power skyrocketed, and controlled Bian, Song, Hua, Pu, Hao, Chen, Ying, Si and other eight prefectures, self-proclaimed Chen Liujun King, led the Biansong Festival envoy, his army was about 780,000 people, and Huazhou also became the place controlled by Li Lingyao.

Guo Song ordered Liang Wu and others to go up to Wagang Mountain first, and he and Xu Jingnan rode to Kuangcheng County, in fact, there are four county towns around Wagang Mountain, namely Lingchang County in the north, Weicheng County in the east, Yucheng County in the west, and Kuangcheng County in the south.

The Sui Dynasty's Wagangzhai was mainly located in the area of Weicheng County in the west, while the Guo and Song Dynasty chose to be near Kuangcheng County in the south.

Kuangcheng County is a small county, less than 100 miles away from Renqiu County in Bianzhou, there are only 300 garrisons in the county, including the surrounding peasants, and there are about 2,000 households in the whole county.

Guo Song and Xu Jingnan are both dressed as scribes, the weather is a little hot, Guo Song wears a slightly thin white shirt, a black gauze hat, and a jade belt around his waist, typical of a rich son, Xu Jingnan is dressed similarly, except that he is a Tsing Yi hat, like a literati who followed Guo Song.

The two entered the county seat, today is the day of the rush, the county is quite lively, the peasants from the countryside on all sides crowded the county seat, most of them are selling some special mountain goods, and then buy some salt and oil to go home.

As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, here is close to Wagang Mountain, the specialties brought by the farmers are basically all kinds of game and medicinal materials, a few fat rabbits or a thin wild boar, or a hundred years of skullcap, shou wu and other medicinal materials.

The streets are full of all kinds of stalls on both sides, all kinds of shouts and shouts come and go, and most of the farmers' livestock are mainly donkeys and mules, and the people on horseback are basically invisible, so Guo Song and Xu Jingnan rode into the city, which was particularly eye-catching, and a general guarding the city stared at the two of them for a long time.

Guo Song came to the county office, the county government is relatively dilapidated, next to it is the warehouse courtyard, the money and grain are placed here, this is the purpose of Guo Song's coming, they only have two days of dry food left, to stay for a long time, there must be a batch of grain in their hands, of course it is okay to rob large households, but robbing the people's wealth will seriously damage his reputation, even if he pretends to be a thief.

The best thing is to rob the official warehouse, anyway, the current Kuang County has changed its allegiance to Li Lingyao and is controlled by Li Lingyao, there is no moral baggage in robbing this official warehouse, the key is how much grain is in the warehouse.

"Envoy, I'll inquire!" Xu Jingnan saw that there were people in the courtyard, so he whispered to Guo Song.

Xu Jingnan was born as an old state official, and his feelings are very slippery, especially when dealing with people in the government, Guo Song nodded, Xu Jingnan turned over and dismounted, and walked into the courtyard.

After a while, he came out, turned over and gave Guo Song a look, and the two turned their horses around and left.

After walking more than 100 steps, Xu Jingnan lowered his voice and said: "1,000 stones of grain, 50,000 quintals of forage, 8,000 pieces of money, and 3,000 horses of cloth, all of which will be transported to Chenliu County early tomorrow morning." ”

Chenliu County is Li Lingyao's lair, and if he wants to fund the enemy army, of course this batch of money and grain must be withheld.

Guo Song smiled and asked, "How did Xu join the army ask?" ”

Xu Jingnan smiled slightly, "The most effective and direct way for the small and medium-sized officials in the county is to open the way with copper coins, but you can't give too much, Baiwen money is enough, if you give too much, they will be suspicious, give no more, no less, and ask for some amount of old rice, they will naturally treat you as a grain dealer, and they will not have other ideas." ”

Guo Song secretly praised, worthy of the old official, this kind of thing will be solved, "Then how do they transport it?" Guo Song asked again.

"There are three hundred soldiers in the city, they are responsible for escorting money and food, and they will set off tomorrow morning, and they have collected hundreds of carts."

It was six o'clock in the morning, just in time to open the city gates.

"Let's go!"

The two quickened their horses and prepared to leave Kuang County, but they were stopped by several soldiers at the city gate.
