I don't know how long it took, but the smoke gradually thinned out, and finally disappeared into the air without any trace. The small incense burner also cooled down.

Song Lin slowly opened his eyes, his expression was sluggish, and the tears on his face were still there. returned to reality again, making him feel like a world away, and he didn't get used to it for a while.

He glanced at the box containing the ice stone powder, suddenly stretched out his hand to open it, looking at the ice stone powder in his eyes, Song Lin carefully calculated his daily dosage, according to his experience, this box was enough for him to use for more than half a month.

After measuring, he quickly got up and put away the wooden box, and hid it in a secret compartment on the inner wall of the wardrobe that only he knew.

After tidying up like this, he opened the doors and windows to ventilate, and walked out of the palace gate, the group of eunuchs and palace maids who were driven to the courtyard by him hurriedly went up, Song Lin waved his hand expressionlessly and said: "I go to the back mountain, you don't have to follow, give me a good guard of the Hui'an Palace, anyone who comes to the door or asks me where I am going, you must notify me as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!"

Zhongzhou official road, Pingshan County, Shanghuai County, Youzheng

Xiao Chongguang rode a Dawan horse, carrying Han Yu, and galloped with a whip, so that the crotch horse could gallop towards Yancheng, where the Zhongzhou Mansion was located, at the fastest speed.

Dawan Horse is worthy of being one of the wonders of the world, its galloping speed is more than twice as fast as any mount Xiao Chongguang has ever ridden, as long as it is given enough forage, drinking water and rest, Sogo is confident that it will be able to rush back to the Eastern Capital before tomorrow.

At this time, Han Yu suddenly said: "A little further on, there is the scene of the crime, do you want to go and investigate later?" ”

Xiao Chongguang replied: "No need, you have already explained the process of the murder in detail in the house, and there is nothing you don't understand." Besides, Yunsheng and they have already reported this matter, and the capital general post station and Shanghuai County Yazi will go to investigate, and we will go again, just afraid that the gangsters will cause trouble. In order to prevent changes, it is better not to go. ”

"You're right." Han Yu nodded in agreement with Xiao Chongguang's thoughts.

Soon, their group crossed the Qingye Ridge where the crime occurred, and ran directly to the official road in Tonghua County, as long as they passed through Ande County and Songyang County, they could reach Yancheng territory.

Xiao Chong calculated that at the current speed, they could rest in Wanchuan Mountain in Songyang County for half an hour, or they could rush to Zhongzhou Mansion before the hour.

Just as they were desperately rushing towards the Zhongzhou Mansion, they suddenly pulled up a thick rope in the ground and stumbled impartially over the Dawan horse where Sogo was sitting!

The horse's legs were suddenly blocked, and his footsteps couldn't stop for a while, and he let out a frightened neighing sound, and then fell to the ground with a bang, Xiao Chongguang couldn't pull it at all, and he leaned forward with Han Yu, and fell on the official road, until he was smashed to pieces, and his skeleton was almost scattered.

They shook their faint heads, and were about to get up, when they heard a shrill mountain whistle not far from them.

Xiao Chongguang had also caught a lot of bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests and robbed passers-by and village people before, so he knew a lot of black words on the underworld and secret whistles in the green forests.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a group of robbers dressed in rough clothes, dressed in animal skins, and armed with sharp swords rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road.

Sogo and Han Yu also stood up at the same time, and the two stood side by side, confronting the bandits.

I saw a one-eyed man come out and shout in a deep voice: "Those two men and women, take out all the valuable things on your body for the uncle!" ”

Another man with a mink hat said: "By the way, I will kowtow to grandpa a few times, and I will let you go." ”

"No way!"

At this time, a short man with two thin beards jumped out of the middle thief, licked his black lips, stared at Han Yu and said, "After kowtowing, the man can go, and the woman stays!" Such a beautiful little lady, how can she only let her be greedy and not quench her thirst? ”

After the short man finished speaking, the thieves began to take a closer look at Han Yu, and it was really stunning, and they all showed greedy looks.

"The head of the dwarf is right! Such a beautiful little lady, she must stay and sleep with her brothers! ”

"That's it! As the saying goes, meeting is fate! How can you waste a beautiful woman in vain? Don't fight with me, I want it the first night! ”

"your Chen Laosi! This girl is Uncle Snakehead, me! As the so-called Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, you can't miss it! Chick, don't worry, only today is comfortable serving the uncle, and the benefits will be indispensable to you! ”

“……”

All the thieves echoed their words, and they all spoke some ugly foul language, as if Han Yu was already their plate of food and meat, so angry that Han Yu clenched his silver teeth, his apricot eyes were wide, his whole body trembled, and his face was pale.

The thieves thought that Han Yu was scared like this, and they simply treated Xiao Chongguang as air at the moment, so they left him aside, and gathered directly around Han Yu, for fear of being robbed by his companions, and said in his mouth, "Don't be afraid, little lady, my brother will love you well." ”

Han Yu was about to make a difficulty, when she suddenly felt a strong wind passing in front of her, and before she could react, she heard the little thief "Wow", coughing up blood in his mouth, and was knocked backwards and flew out, and finally fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.

Everyone looked at it again, it turned out that Xiao Chongguang shot out violently just now, stepped on footwork, approached the little man with a thunderous momentum, gathered his breath and raised his palm, and slapped his chest with all his strength.

"You're looking for death!"

The one-eyed thief was furious, swung his knife and slashed at Xiao Chongguang, Sogo avoided sideways, and at the same time his footsteps tilted and changed, sparing half a circle, and moved directly to the back of the one-eyed bandit, and his right hand lost no time in punching and smashing it, but the one-eyed man also had rich experience in fighting, when Sogo dodged and dodged, he was already on guard, only to see him quickly turn around, and raise his left leg, like a whip, and throw it sideways, blocking Sogo's fist.

Seeing this situation, the one-eyed bandit thought in his heart that he could not miss the opportunity, so after the whip leg, he immediately raised his knife from the oblique stab and struck back with a knife straight into Sogo's mid-abdomen, according to his calculations, such an attack, even if the stab was missed, he could force the opponent back, so that he could gain the upper hand and turn the situation around.

Just when the one-eyed thief thought about the beauty, Xiao Chongguang actually did not retreat but advanced, clamped the sides of the sharp knife with both hands, and led its attack to the side, the sharp knife blade is the heaviest part of the whole knife, and now it is suddenly affected by external forces, its center of gravity naturally moves to Sogo's hands, no matter how hard the one-eyed thief is, he can't control it, and his knife path can only be at the mercy of the other party, and it is offset to the side.

At the same time, Xiao Chongguang strode forward, slid his hands along the blade of the knife to the blade, and changed into palms, up and down, and slapped towards the shoulder blades and ribs of the one-eyed thief.

All this happened between lightning and fire, and the one-eyed thief's hands were still tightly gripping the sharp knife, where could he free his hands to block it? was directly beaten back by Sogo's two palms, and finally fell to the ground with his head up, bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He could clearly feel that his shoulder bone and the two ribs on the right side had been broken, and the cracked bones had sunk into the flesh.

"Big brother!"

The thieves exclaimed, and all of them stepped forward to the one-eyed bandit and asked about his injuries. It is clear that the One-Eyed is the leader of this gang of bandits.

Han Yu jumped up and down in front of Sogo, knocked his elbow against his chest and smiled, "Okay, Xiao Weichang!" It's a good kung fu! I beat that old thing within four moves, and I am worthy of being a person who can fight with my senior sister for more than 20 rounds, and I didn't believe it when Lu Deputy Wei told me, but now I believe it. ”

"I can barely take a few tricks from your young palace master." Sogo is humble and authentic.

At this time, I heard the one-eyed thief roar with all his might: "Leave me alone! Come along with me and help me chop that stinky boy into a mashed meat and feed it to the dogs! ”

"Yes!"

The remaining ten or so thieves shouted together, shouting "avenge the eldest brother", and attacked Xiao Chongguang with a knife in their hands.

"I'll help you ······"

Han Yu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Chongguang stretching out his hand: "Just leave this little scene to me, you can rest next to me." ”

After that, Xiao Chongguang pulled out his saber from his waist and faced the bandits, but when he saw him kicking the ground with both feet, he jumped high, and slashed down from top to bottom, and cut off the head of a bandit who was facing him and wrapped in a turban, and died on the spot. Before he could accept the recruitment, Sogo immediately urged his footwork and moved to the second shouting thief wearing a mink hat just now, and slashed the throat of the other party, and the blood gushed like a spring. After succeeding, Sogo stepped on the Seven Star Steps again and attacked the next bandit.

Sogo is like a ghostly phantom, slashing left and right in the encirclement of the bandits, as if he were in a no-man's land, as if he was the only one who kills, and the bandits didn't even hurt him at all. Moreover, everyone present could see that Xiao Chongguang was the first to kill those who spoke disrespectfully to Han Yu, which shows that he had already included these people in the must-kill list in his heart from the very beginning.

In an instant, all the thieves were killed by Sogo to only half of them, and some of the timid ones had already fled secretly, and Han Yu, who was standing on the side, had already been gearing up and eager to try, and when he saw someone abandoning the battle, he immediately flew over, kicked all these people off their calves with a wave of his foot, kicked them to the ground, and counted them carefully, there was no one in total, and they were all captured alive.

After a short time, Xiao Chongguang eliminated all the bandits, and the corpses of these people were lying on the official road, with blood all over the ground, which was terrifying.

Xiao Chongguang and Han Yu gathered the five bandits who were captured alive, as well as the one-eyed leader and the little man, these bandits were already trembling with fright from the scene just now, and begged for mercy.

Sogo raised his eyebrows and asked loudly, "Say!" You're stopping me here, is someone behind your back giving you a message? ”
