With a whistle, dozens of torches lit up in the depths of the valley, and Qiang Quan and Leader Li led dozens of horsemen to slowly ride out of the dark night, all with a cruel smile on their faces, like a group of evil ghosts from the underworld.

The faces of everyone in the caravan changed miserably, and the scribe's face turned pale, and his worst fears finally came true.

He forced himself to compose, took a few steps forward and said loudly: "I don't know what happened to all the heroes who stopped me and others in the middle of the night?" ”

Qiang Quan shouted violently: "Don't talk nonsense! Leave all your belongings, I won't die! ”

The scribe arched his hand and said: "Good man, please listen to me, we are all merchants in Luoyang, although we have been in business for many years, we are a small business, barely making ends meet, if we leave all our belongings, we will be bankrupt." But seeing each other is fate, and we don't want you to run for nothing, why don't I give you half of your belongings and make a friend? If you still refuse, we will have no choice but to fight to the death! ”

These words are neither humble nor arrogant, soft and hard, and they are strong and hesitant in their hearts.

He saw that the caravan was numerous, and in addition to more than twenty guards, there were still thirty or forty young men with their own weapons, and if they really did it, although they would surely win, they would inevitably be killed or wounded, and if they could get half of their possessions without a single sword or shot, it would be the best of both worlds.

Seeing Qiang Quan looking at him with an inquiring gaze, Leader Li sneered: "Okay! Half of the belongings are also made! But hand over the young women in the caravan! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the caravan changed color, and several impulsive guards were already scolding angrily.

A flash of anger flashed across the scribe's face, and his heart was already furious, and his female dependents were also in the caravan.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger and said, "This request is too insulting! I would never say yes! Well, how about I give an extra hundred gold? ”

Qiang Quan heard that there was a woman in the caravan, his eyes were already shining, and he shook his head and said, "No, the woman must be handed over!" ”

The scribe said angrily: "Don't deceive people too much! You must know that I am Duan's nephew! ”

Qiang Quan Rong said with a pause: "Duan Gong? Is it too lieutenant Duan Cheng? ”

The scribe said proudly: "Exactly! ”

The group of thieves couldn't help but look at each other, Duan Cheng was a border general for a long time, and he shocked the western soil, and in just three years that year, he experienced 180 battles and killed more than 38,000 Hu people. All the Qiang tribes were killed in fear, and hearing the name of Duan Cheng could really stop children crying at night.

The thieves were in shock, and suddenly heard Leader Li laugh loudly.

He laughed wildly and said, "What about Duan Cheng? He's been dead for almost two years! What if he's still alive? All I have to do is kill you all, and who knows that we did it! ”

Qiang Quanden was bold and shouted: "Not bad! Hurry up and hand over your belongings, woman! If you delay again, you will wait for the jade to be burned! ”

The scribe knew that it was difficult, and with a wave of his hand, the guards and the young men raised their swords to meet them, and said, "Do it!" Even if we all die here, we will drink the blood of thieves like you before we die! ”

Leader Li looked up to the sky again and laughed: "You are dreaming! I will take your lives like slaughtering a chicken and a dog! Do you think I'm the only one of these centaurs? ”

The scribe's heart was cold, and his eyes immediately looked at the cliffs on both sides.

Leader Li sneered: "You are smart! It's a pity it's late! ”

He shouted, "Do it!" ”

Although the scribe was desperate in his heart, he refused to sit still, and shouted: "Everyone be careful of the cliffs on both sides, there are thieves in ambush!" ”

After Leader Li yelled, he immediately gathered momentum, and only waited for the strong crossbows on the mountains on both sides to fire together, and the caravan people turned on their backs, and then they could take advantage of the situation to charge into battle.

Unexpectedly, there was no movement on the mountains on both sides, and Leader Li was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Old Yu! Zhang Xian! You are deaf! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

I only heard a lazy voice on the mountain reply: "Yes! Brethren! Shoot the arrows! ”

In the sound of "Xiu Xiu", seven or eight horse thieves looked at the arrows stuck in their bodies in disbelief, screaming and splashing blood and falling from their horses.

Both sides of the confrontation in the valley were stunned.

Before they could come to their senses, a second wave of crossbow arrows arrived, and several horse thieves fell to the ground again screaming.

Qiang and Li finally understood, and said in unison: "It's not good! ”

The scribe was in ecstasy, reacted very quickly, and shouted, "Kill me!" ”

The morale of all the people in the caravan was greatly boosted, and they rushed to join the horse thieves with shouts.

I only listened to the sound of the bowstring on the mountains on both sides, and the arrows were extremely accurate, and from time to time there were horse thieves who fell from the arrows.

In front of the horse thieves, there was a caravan with swords and guns, and there were life-threatening arrows, and the formation was immediately chaotic, and in an instant, more than 20 corpses were on the spot.

Qiang Quan was furious and shouted: "Don't mess up, there are not many of them, divide half of them to resist, and the others will kill me up the mountain!" ”

But the horse thieves have already been inseparable from the caravan, where can they easily get out of the formation.

Qiang Quan rushed up in anger, and regardless of the others, he took a selfie with his sword and went straight to the scribe who led the group, believing that as long as the scribe could be cut down under the horse, the caravan would be completely demoralized, and then he would be able to calmly deal with the enemy on the mountain.

He rode through the crowd of belligerents, and the long knife in his hand slashed out like lightning, and four or five guards and caravan young men fell to the ground one after another.

The scribe had no choice but to draw his sword to meet the enemy, although he knew some martial arts, but he was far from being a strong enemy, and he could barely parry a few times, and the long sword in his hand was so shaken that it flew out of his hand, and the man fell off his horse.

Qiang Quan let out a loud shout, and the big knife in his hand slashed at the scribe's neck.

The scribe sighed and closed his eyes to death.

Without warning, a cobblestone flew through the air and landed exactly on the strong man, and he screamed miserably, fell backwards, and fell heavily under the horse.

A young man grinned and shook another cobblestone in his hand, blocking the scribe behind him, it was none other than the Southern Eagle.

Qiang Quan barely supported his body, his face was covered with blood, he shook his head vigorously, reached out and wiped the blood on his face, and finally saw clearly the person who was plotting against him.

Under the repeated changes, he had lost his mind, and only felt that the tyrannical aura in his heart could not be suppressed, and he let out a beast-like roar from his mouth, and rushed over with his knife.

Nan Ying shook his head, raised his hand, Qiang Quan only felt that his eyes were black, he had been thrown by a stone in front of the door, Venus was chaotic, red and black gushed out together, and the big knife in his hand was also snatched away.

With a chill in his neck, the huge head had already flown high, and the male body fell to the ground with a bang.

The scribe's scalp was numb, and he couldn't believe that he was still as fierce as a demon god, and in just a few breaths, he was easily killed by this young man with a wicked smile in front of him, and a fear suddenly rose in his heart, this person was terrible!

More than half of the horse thieves were already killed and wounded, and when they saw that Qiang Quan, who was usually in awe, was in a different place, their morale fell to the extreme, but the morale of everyone in the caravan was like a rainbow, as straight as chopping melons and vegetables. After a while, except for more than a dozen of the horse thieves who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, all the others were killed and killed, and none of them escaped the net.

Seeing that the war was over, Gao Feng and the others rushed from the mountains on both sides, and Gao Feng said with excitement on his face: "Sir! Hey, this battle is really exciting! The brothers killed seventy or eighty horse thieves without much effort, and they themselves were unscathed! It's hard to believe! ”

The others looked at Nanying, and the color of reverence was also overflowing, and that Zhang Xian was even more like a dream.

Nanying said angrily: "I don't know who is lacking in confidence just now!" ”

Gao Feng scratched his head and said shyly: "Well, alas! Shame on you! Anyway, I'm completely convinced! ”

Nanying smiled and said: "Boys, work hard in the future, you still have a lot to learn!" ”

The crowd agreed.

The scribe hurried, waved his body to the southern eagle, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the help of the righteous man, the grace of life will never be forgotten, and I hope that the righteous man will give him the honorable name, and it is also good to teach him to report after the next map!" ”

Nan Ying put his hands behind his back and carefully looked at the person in front of him, but saw that his face was calm, and a pair of dark pupils radiated a deep wisdom under the reflection of the firelight.

Seeing that he had an extraordinary appearance, Nanying had a heart for acceptance, and said with a smile: "In Xia Nanying, dare to ask Mr. Name?" ”

The scribe replied, "Jia Ming, a native of Xialiangzhou! ”

Nanying let out an "oh" and was about to talk, when he suddenly heard a businessman in the distance running all the way, and called out in his mouth: "Mr. Wenhe, Mr. Wenhe, are you okay?" ”

Nan Ying thought of a "boom" in his head, and when he thought of someone, he couldn't help but exhale: "Jia Ming? Jia Wenhe? ”

Na Jia Ming's face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "Not bad! Under the surname Jia Mingming, the words and! ”

His face changed but it had already fallen into Nan Ying's eyes, and he was a little more sure in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are a pseudonym, right?" ”

Na Jia Ming's face did not change and said: "Why did Brother Nan say this? My name is indeed Jia Ming! ”

Nanying sighed: "Brothers! You see, we just forgot our lives to save others, but they refused to tell us by their real names, the world is ruthless, and everyone is treacherous! ”

Jia Ming's face was slightly red, and he still argued: "Brother Nan, don't misunderstand, how dare I deceive each other?" Indeed, I am called ........"

Nanying couldn't help but snort coldly: "Liar! Keep cheating! Good for you, Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe! He said in his heart, if it weren't for the eagerness of your companions to call out your words, I would have almost been deceived by you, and I would have deceived you first.

Sure enough, Jia Ming's whole body was like being struck by lightning, the blood on his face faded, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?" How do you know my identity? ”

Nan Ying said lightly: "Wen He's reputation for great talent is far and wide, I just had the honor to see you from afar before!" ”

His face was full of surprises, but his heart was really full of surprises, the person in front of him was really the poisoner of the Three Kingdoms-Jia Xu!

Jia Xu regained his composure and said with relief: "I see! ”

Then he said to himself: "Brother Nan Yuanyou, it's not that I deliberately deceive, but I was demoted to an official position because I offended the important ministers of the court this time, and I was afraid that I would be harmed by them, so I didn't dare to stay in Luoyang anymore, so I had to hide in the caravan under a false name and return to my hometown Wuwei!" I have to be careful! Only Li Rui, the leader of the caravan, knew my true identity! I hope Brother Nan will continue to keep my secrets! ”

As he spoke, Li Rui had already rushed in, first thanked Nanying and the others for their rescue, and said: "It just so happens that Mr. Engong and Mr. are here, we have killed thirteen people in this battle, killed more than 50 thieves, and won fifteen people, including the head of the Han thief, how to deal with it is still for instructions!" ”

Nan Ying saw that Jia Xumu was expressionless, didn't say a word, knew what he meant, and said coldly: "Leave it to me to deal with!" ”

When he walked in front of Leader Li, he saw him kneeling on the ground, his face was like ashes, and he was trembling all over.

Nan Ying hooked his chin with his toes and sneered: "As a Han Chinese, but colluding with other races and harming my compatriots, it is really better to be a pig and a dog!" I send you a word for those who have been killed by you! ”

A murderous flash flashed in his eyes, and the long knife in his hand had slashed through his neck: "Be a kind person in the next life!" ”

Looking at the corpse on the ground, he shouted, "Kill them all!" ”

In the whispered exclamation of everyone in the caravan, Gao Feng and the others did not frown, and then slashed together, and all the horse thieves were all corpses on the ground, only Jia Xu was calm, as if he had expected it, and he secretly praised Nanying in his heart, and the name of the poisoner was indeed true.

Li Rui was stunned for a long time before he remembered something and said, "Engong! In this battle, we also received more than 70 good war horses from horse thieves......"

Nanying didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said, "You and I will divide it equally!" You've hurt a lot of people, so you can be used as a comforter! ”

Li Rui exclaimed: "No! How can we ...... if we have not thanked the Lord for his salvation? Seeing Nanying shaking his hand resolutely, he thanked him again and thanked him endlessly.

Jia Xu couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, although the young man in front of him didn't blink an eye, he still had this benevolence, so he had to be impressive.

Gao Feng quietly pulled Nanying's sleeves and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you are indeed so generous!" ”

Nanying took advantage of the chaos of everyone's division of horses, flashed to the side with Gao Feng, and said strangely: "What? Are horses valuable? ”

Gao Feng sighed: "Sir, do you know the current market price? ”

Nan Hawkeye rolled his eyes and said, "What nonsense? I know I need to ask you? ”

Gao Feng stuck out his tongue before he said: "One pound of gold can be exchanged for 10,000 dollars, and the 100 catties of gold we got in the valley the day before yesterday is one million dollars." The chief asked the grain lord to buy grain, and if he paid 400 yuan for one stone of rice, he could buy 2,500 stones, which was enough to sustain an army of 100 people for more than a year! ”

This time, it was Nanying's turn to stick out his tongue and say, "So many! If we get 100 pounds of gold every month, can't we raise an army of 1,000 people? ”

Gao Feng smiled bitterly: "Do you know the price of war horses?" Ordinary war horses cost 20,000 yuan, and those good war horses only cost 5 or 60,000 yuan each, right? In other words, sir, you just casually gave away nearly 2 million dollars! ”

Nanying lost his voice and said, "What! I couldn't help but feel a great pain in my heart, but I couldn't regret it.

But he rolled his eyes and said casually: "It's nothing! We still have a fortune to go! ”

Gao Feng was stunned and said, "There is still a big fortune? ”

Nanying ignored him and went straight to Li Rui.

Gao Feng saw the two of them muttering for a while, Nanying called Zhang Xian again, the three of them talked for a long time, Zhang Xian was dumbfounded, but Li Rui kept nodding, his face was full of joy.

After a while, Nanying smiled at Mimi's return.

Gao Feng saw his smug face, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, what did you all say?" So happy! ”

Nan Ying lowered his voice and said: "I will let Zhang Xian lead the way, and tomorrow I will join forces with the caravan to attack the bandits' lair, according to Zhang Xian, there is a lot of money and food in the cottage!" And now there are only more than 20 bandits guarding the village, and we can get half of the goods! ”

Gao Feng was stunned for a long time before he said, "In this case, why don't we attack the village alone?" Isn't it possible to have your own goods? ”

Nan Ying stretched out his hand and patted Gao Feng on the head, scolding: "Stupid! Money is important, but life is even more important! Let them take the lead, we will see the needle and find an opportunity to kill the thief! ”

Gao Feng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and said, "Sir! ”

And they did not hurry any longer, but camped in the valley, and when they learned that the danger had been removed, and that they had been tired for another day, they all slept very soundly.

Early the next morning, Nanying immediately ordered all the men and prepared to attack the thief's nest, with twelve people, and 12 caravan guards, 6 young warriors, exactly 30 people.

After an order was given, everyone turned over and got on the horse together, but saw Nanying standing under the horse, stammering.

Gao Feng said in surprise: "Sir, don't you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Nanying scolded: "Fart! Lao Tzu is proficient in equestrianism! Playing on horseback at the age of 10! "It's a fact, riding horses at the horse farm outside the Hidden Dragon Base as a cover is Southern Eagle's favorite sport outside of training.

Gao Feng was scolded and touched his nose and said, "Then you don't get on the horse yet?" ”

Nanying said angrily: "How can I get on? What about this horseback! How can you get on horseback without horses! ”

Everyone was amazed: "What is a horse pedal?" ”

It was Nanying's turn to be dumbfounded: "Won't it?" Don't have a shoeal yet? ”

No one knows what it is.

Nanying couldn't believe it: "Impossible, right? I saw that the history records that when Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, the hussar general Huo Qubing led the cavalry to break into Mobei and fought thousands of miles. ”

Jia Xu sighed: "What Brother Nan said is not bad, but as far as I know, in long-distance battles, his cavalry often uses cloth or leather rope to tie their lower limbs to the saddle, although this move is effective, but once the soldiers fall off their horses after the battle, the end is extremely miserable, and they are often dragged and trampled to death by galloping horses!" ”

Nanying could not hear the sound, and on a whim, he ordered the caravan to take a solid cloth, cut it into long strips, tie a round dead knot with a stretchable foot at each end, and fix it on both sides of the saddle to form a simple horse's pedal.

Everyone was stunned, Nan Ying's left foot stepped into the knot, with a slight borrowing, his right foot was lightly raised, and he easily and chicly turned on the horse's back, which was ten times stronger than everyone holding the saddle with both hands and jumping up.

Gao Feng was stunned for a long time, and exclaimed happily: "Such a simple method, why can't we think of it!" ”

Nanying snorted and said, "If you can think of it, you are my chief!" ”

Everyone followed suit, and when they tried it, they all shouted wonderfully.

Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "Brother Nan, if you don't dislike it, you are willing to go together!" ”

Nan Ying hesitated and said: "Although there is no danger in going here, after all, you still have to kill the enemy on the other side, Brother Jia should not take risks, right?" ”

But I thought to myself, Who are you? The top five smart brains in the Three Kingdoms! Let me run into it this time, I have to use some means to pull you into the gang, how dare you go to fight and kill, in case you accidentally hang up, I can't cry!

Jia Xu said with a resolute expression: "Brother Nan, don't underestimate me, although I am a literati, I am by no means powerless!" Self-protection should be no problem! ”

"What's more!" He smiled and said, "With Brother Nan by his side, I'm even less worried!" ”

Nan Ying thought of the fact that he and Na Qiang fought with all his might last night, and couldn't help but put his heart at ease, thinking that if he could use this to get close to this poisonous man and cultivate his feelings, it would be a good thing, so he nodded in agreement, but secretly ordered Gao Feng and the others to be sure to protect Jia Xu thoroughly.

Zhang Xian led the way, and everyone whipped away.

Jia Xu rode his horse closely behind Nanying, only to feel that stepping on this simple "horse pedal" is indeed magical, not only to free his hands, but also to run when he felt a lot of effort, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, you need to know that if this horse pedal is used on a large scale for cavalry, its combat power will not be doubled?

So he offered to come with him, but he was really curious about Nanying in his heart, and secretly made friends. This person is not only highly skilled and decisive, but also all the people under him are also very strong, and they are righteous and squandering money (if he knew that Nanying regretted that his intestines were blue, he was afraid that he would not think so), and he was ingenious, he was really a strange person, if he missed it, he was afraid that he would regret it.

He also had other thoughts, he had already offended the traitors in the court, but he had no backer, so he had to retreat and return home. If you get the help of Nanying, you think that it is a strong reinforcement, and your safety is also guaranteed.

Nan Ying was also secretly struggling with his brains, thinking about how to trick this history-beaten generation of strategists into going to Black Tiger Mountain to plan big things, but he didn't know that the two of them were in ordinary minds.
