The two traveled all the way north, and the conditions they saw were similar to where Niu San was.

In the mountains and rivers, there are often abandoned babies.

On both sides of the avenue, there are people who are hungry from time to time.

Wan Yankang and Qiu Qianren both traveled quickly, and after three days, they rushed to the boundary of Fenzhou Mansion.

The area around Taiyuan Mansion and Zhending Mansion in the northeast of Fenzhou is the main battlefield of the war between the north and the south of Dajin. Taiyuan Mansion was firmly occupied by Wanyan Gang, and Zhending Mansion was held in the hands of Wanyan Hongxi. The two sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops in this area, and the battle was endless.

The Fenzhou Mansion was occupied by Wan Yan Gang, because it was too close to the main battlefield, and the Mansion was guarded day and night to prevent a sneak attack from the north.

After Yan Kang and Qiu Qianren had no road guide, it was difficult to enter the city during the day, so after the two entered Fenzhou at night, they rested in Fenzhou for a day and heard a lot of news from the front. On the second night of entering the city, Qiu Qianren went to the house of a wealthy family in the city to steal some gold and silver to replenish his expenses.

Early the next morning, Wan Yankang took Qiu Qianren to the horse market, ready to buy two horses for foot strength. After some selection, Wan Yankang chose two horses and asked for the price to pay the bill.

In Wan Yankang's opinion, these two horses are just the level of ordinary war horses in White Horse City, and for him, they are just barely eye-catching.

The horse dealer offered eight hundred taels per horse, Wan Yankang frowned, and after thinking about it, he felt that the good horses here and now really got this price, so he asked Qiu Qianren to pay the bill.

When the horse dealer saw all the bargaining high-rollers, he hurriedly took the silver taels, wrote the transaction documents, and asked Wan Yankang to sign and pledge.

Wan Yankang would sign and draw a pledge with him, and only instructed the horse dealer to wash and scrub the horse, quickly put on the saddle, and led the horse away.

As soon as the two left, the horse dealer immediately smiled, although these two horses are rare, but if they are sold for a real price, they will be sold for five hundred taels. He was so happy, and two horse market officials came next to him and asked, "Boss Zhang, why are you so happy, let's talk to my brothers." ”

The horse dealer surnamed Zhang hesitated for a while, not knowing how to prevaricate the past, but another horse dealer had just witnessed the past, and immediately told the story again, only to say that the horse dealer surnamed Zhang had met two fat sheep, and he did not make a counteroffer for buying a horse, nor did he want to trade documents.

Seeing this, the horse dealer surnamed Zhang hurriedly smiled and handed over two pieces of silver to show his filial piety. I didn't know that the little official who was the head of it rolled his eyes, but he didn't accept this filial piety, and said instead: "Boss Zhang, your horse, do you have a mark?" ”

"The horses sold by my family are all engraved on the hind rumps."

"Okay, okay, I won't break the bank, and I can share some money with you, you just have to ......do this and that," the little official approached the horse dealer surnamed Zhang and whispered in a low voice.

The horse dealer surnamed Zhang hesitated: "How can this ......?"

The little official made a face: "Boss Zhang, are you not giving your brother this face?" ”

The horse dealer surnamed Zhang immediately admitted and nodded again and again.

The two officials shouted, and five or six gangs immediately rushed out of the horse market, and several people followed the horse dealer surnamed Zhang and chased them out.

Wan Yankang and Qiu Qianren had just walked out of a few streets when they heard a rush of footsteps behind them, plus a shout: "Stop!" When he looked back, he saw the horse dealer chasing after him with seven or eight men.

"What?" Wan Yankang turned around and asked in a deep voice.

After Yan Kang's questioning, there was a sense of power, and the horse dealer was already weak-hearted, and Ai Ai didn't know how to speak.

When the horse market official saw it, he pushed the horse dealer away, walked a few steps forward with his waist crossed, and pointed to Wan Yankang and said: "This man, you have committed a crime, do you want to be private, or is it public?" ”

Wan Yankang sighed: "What did I do?" ”

"You stole Boss Zhang's horse!"

"Bastard, the horse I just bought!" Qiu Qianren shouted, and stepped forward to do it.

Wan Yankang stopped Qiu Qianren: "Don't be angry, and listen to what he says." ”

The little official was taken aback by Qiu Qianren's momentum when he stepped forward, and his heart was a little drumming. But he thought in his heart, greed still prevailed, these two people were just bare-handed, even if they were taller, what could they do.

So, the little official stiffened his neck and said, "You said that the horse you bought, do you have transaction documents?" ”

When Yan Kang heard this, he immediately understood this guy's calculation, he was slightly angry in his heart, and turned his head to ask the horse dealer: "Tell me, did you steal your horse or buy it?" ”

The horse dealer was asked by Wan Yankang, and his heart was even more worried, and he was speechless.

Wan Yankang saw this person's appearance, and knew that it must be this little official's trouble, and he didn't bother to continue to entangle with such people, so he led the horse and turned around and left.

When the little official saw it, he immediately shouted to stop it.

Qiu Qianren snorted, threw the reins in his hand, and prepared to start.

"Only punish the evil, don't kill people on the street." Wan Yankang didn't look back, only threw out such a sentence.

When the little official heard this, he said in his heart that this person was so angry, and he would definitely have to rectify it later. Before this thought was finished, he saw a figure in front of him flicker, and he was slapped on the chest, falling to the street, and began to vomit blood in his mouth. The other gangsters and the horse dealer were kicked away by Qiu Qianren one by one, forming a string of rolling gourds on the ground.

Qiu Qianren clapped his hands and dropped a sentence: "Count your good life." Then he also led the horse and followed Wan Yankang away.

These people knew that they had encountered hard stubble, and they didn't dare to make any more moves, but they didn't understand what Qiu Qianren's sentence "count your good life" meant.

This horse dealer surnamed Zhang thought about it, and he was simply poured blood mold, where did he get good luck.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the same day that they learned that the little official vomited blood and died, and the remaining few people understood the meaning of Yan Kang's sentence "only punish the evil".

After Yan Kang and the two left Fenzhou Mansion, they specially went to Taiyuan Mansion to watch the battle situation.

Fenzhou is only a hundred miles away from Taiyuan, but because of its proximity to the battlefield, cards are set up everywhere on the avenue to check suspicious people. Wan Yankang and Qiu Qianren had no way to guide them, so they had to spend some silver to pass the test.

In the middle, I met a small school with a card, and I caught a glimpse of the golden light flashing in Qiu Qianren's arms, and I was greedy. Helplessly, Wan Yankang and the two had to make a ruthless move, killing the little colonel and a few of his pawns, and then left quickly.

After the two galloped away, Wan Yankang looked back at the smoke and dust behind him, knowing that it must be the chasing soldiers, and the number of people should not be much, but he and Qiu Qianren are both injured, and it is not good to be too rigid, and they need to avoid it.

Wanyan Kang looked for an opportunity to get away from the main road, chose a small road, and ran for a long time, finally getting rid of the pursuers.

By this time, the two of them were fine, but they were tired enough to sit down on the horse.

Wan Yankang saw a village in front of him, so he took the initiative to jump off the horse, led the horse to the village, and found some beans and forage for the horse.

Sandwiched between two hills, the village is a bit of a remote place, and is rarely visited by outsiders except for the merchants and tax collectors from the county. When the village saw two strangers coming, he was still a little wary, Qiu Qianren took out a silver ingot, claiming that he was lost here and wanted to find a place to feed the horses and rest.

When Muramasa saw the silver, he immediately warmly beckoned the two of them to his house for a short rest, and arranged for the long-term workers in the family to feed the horses.

After a few people chatted for a while, Wan Yankang asked what the location of the village was and how far it was from Taiyuan.

Mura Zhengdao: "There are still fifty or sixty miles away from Taiyuan, and it is a small road to go out, if the two of you go fast, you may be able to enter the city before dark." ”

After Yan Kang weighed it in his heart, he killed the officers and soldiers halfway, but he was afraid that he would not be able to enter Taiyuan City, so it was better to rest here for one night and avoid the limelight. He arched his hand to the village: "People are sleepy and tired, but they can't hurry, and they hope to talk in your place for one night." ”

Seeing that the two of them had no weapons, Muramasa made a generous move, so he didn't follow the reason. Hurriedly instructed his family to go to make tea and prepare dinner.

Wan Yankang and Qiu Qianren drank tea while chatting with the village to understand the people's livelihood here. About half an hour later, he suddenly heard the neighing of horses outside, and Wan Yankang's heart moved, it could be that the chasing soldiers were coming.

He wanted to say goodbye to Qiu Qianren first, so as not to affect the village family, but after a while, there were shouts and screams outside.

Wan Yankang frowned, his heart was wrong, if the pursuers came, no matter what, he had to search for himself and Qiu Qianren.

At this time, two and a half boys ran in from outside, crying and shouting: "Murazheng, there is a group of officers and soldiers outside, kill anyone you see!" ”

When Mura Zheng heard this, he immediately ran out of the door, and Wan Yankang and Qiu Qianren also followed out to check what was going on.

"There's a spy here!"

"A room of anti-thieves, haha, haha!"

"This is good, strong enough."

Dozens of cavalrymen rode around the village, killing adult men when they saw them, and knocking them out and throwing them aside when they met women.

When Muramasa saw such a tragic situation, he was suddenly struck by lightning, and muttered: "What's wrong!" What's wrong! ”

Qiu Qianren also asked puzzled: "These officers and soldiers, why don't they look like officers and soldiers, but like bandits?" ”

After watching some cavalry cut off the head of the man he killed and tied it to his waist, he suddenly understood, and he gritted his teeth and said a few words: "Kill good and take credit!" ”

Qiu Qianren suddenly understood, and was about to ask Yan Kang what to do, when he saw that Yan Kang had already begun to rush forward, and shouted: "Kill this group of beasts!" ”

There is only one team of 100 people who kill the officers and soldiers who are good and brave here, where is there enough for Yan Kang and Qiu Qianren, the two top masters, to kill.

A quarter of an hour later, the shouts of killing in the village died down, and only the sound of mourning remained.

Although Muramasa was grateful to Wan Yankang and the others, he didn't know what to do when he saw the corpses of the people and horses in the village. Wan Yankang taught him to push everything on his two heads, and rushed to report to the official overnight.

As soon as this incident came out, it was inconvenient for Yan Kang and Qiu Qianren to stay any longer, so they rested for a while, and after dinner, they took four good war horses and immediately patted the horses away.

The next day, Wan Yankang went to the front line to watch for a while, then galloped away from Taiyuan and marched to Zhongdu.

Qiu Qianren saw that Yan Kang's face turned pale this day, and he couldn't help but comfort: "Young master, the puppet emperor has gone against the grain, and the day of his defeat is not far away!" ”

Wan Yankang sighed: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering." At the turn of rise and fall, the people are the most bitter. I would have liked to wait a little longer, but it seems that this is not the case. ”

"Wait a little longer?" Qiu Qianren listened with a puzzled expression.

Wan Yankang stopped talking, and just patted the horse forward. Before he went south to Huashan, he discussed with Xu Daosheng the general plan of the world. Xu Daosheng proposed that the seizure of the world should be delayed first and then urgent.

If Wanyan Hongxi is defeated in the south, and takes the initiative to ask Wanyan Kang for help, it is a good opportunity for the army of White Horse City to go south. With the military power in Wan Yankang's hands, he only needs to unify Dajin, and the rest are not worried.

With the military strength of Wanyan Kang after the unification of the grassland, neither Wanyan Gang nor the military power in the hands of Wanyan Hongxi could pose much of a threat to him.

However, if Wan Yankang raises troops to the south without an edict, it will inevitably be unjustifiable, and it will undoubtedly add a lot of trouble.

Reputation and righteousness are still very important in this era.

In the planning of Wan Yankang and Xu Daosheng, it will take two to three years to usher in the best opportunity to go south.

However, after seeing all kinds of tragic situations in the north, Wan Yankang secretly made up his mind that for the sake of the people of the world, a little infamy, what is there to fear!
