Because Wang Fang has a short temper and likes to beat political opponents in the palace, the prison people in Dali Temple always have to come and go several times a year; The sound of the soul chasing cannon before the beheading had already ground out the calluses in his ears; But after beating so many court officials, Wang Zuocheng is still standing in the palace in a good manner, what does he rely on?

Without him, Emperor God bless him is just trusted.

Since Wang Fang dared to beat the important ministers of the court in front of Zhou Yuanqing, what could Guo Xing, the general of the defeated army, do? If it weren't for Guo Xing's defeat, he would have lost the qualification to go to the temple to face the saint; Wang Fang didn't even need to prepare some condiments, and he could eat him alive in his stomach!

Every time he thinks of the word Guo Xing, Wang Fang hates it so much that his teeth itch: In order to say that Emperor Tianyou sent troops to the Northern Expedition, who knows how much foreshadowing the civil and military officials of his own line have done? As the leader of the main battle faction, he was forced to accept Cai Donkey's request for more or less in exchange for the inscription of His Majesty's imperial pen to ask for thieves? In the Pingbei War, the comparison of the strength of the two armies is very far apart, and it is a great battle of wealth! The result? Shengsheng made the so-called elite iron army under the command of the two fathers and sons of the Guo family achieve such a result! Lao Er Guo Xiao died on the battlefield, and now that you Guo Xing'an has turned back to Beiyan safely, then this big grievance will all be vented on you!

There is no need for others to say much, Shen Gui can guess it. After the defeat, Guo Xing endured all the wind, frost, rain and snow along the way, and his heart was already full of nostalgia for his hometown, and he was willing to bear the sin of defeat. But he never expected that after he returned to the dynasty thousands of miles, Emperor Tianyou did not embarrass himself; On the contrary, he was tortured by Wang Fang, the grumpy Prime Minister Zuo, who wanted to die. After several humiliations, the blazing flame in his heart was completely extinguished.

The reputation of the Pingbei Army was discredited, and Wang Fang was extremely humiliated, of course Guo Xing would be counted on his head together with the revenge of killing his father! However, after the war, the two norths quickly entered a honeymoon period, and at least for a short time, it was unlikely that either side would use swords again. Seeing that there is no hope of revenge and his career is bleak, if he wants to make a comeback and wash away his grievances, he can only unite with others.

As for why he chose the little-known Chaolu and gave up Zhou Changfeng, who occupied the old capital, Shen Gui can't judge for the time being; The only doubt he is interested in and has no real evidence is whether the person who supports Chaolu behind his back is Di Ting, who is good at making war windfalls?

If you want to know the taste of pears, you have to take a bite yourself!

Now, the Qi family and his wife have become officially wanted by the Nankang Imperial Court; So before everyone hit the road, Li Le'an, the Holy Hand of Transfiguration, carefully changed their clothes. And the route they chose to flee north was to cross the north bank of the Huajiang River by water, and then quickly go north along the east coastline of the Huayu Continent and go straight to their hometown in Youbei.

With Li Le'an's superb disguise skills and Qi Yan's strong anti-pursuit ability, this handful of rogue criminals left Nankang unscathed. Along the way, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they can only choose the way of resting at sunrise and moving at sunset; Along the way, it is not so easy to beg for a bowl of water or a remote fishing village, let alone a high bed warm pillow, a petal bathtub and other beautiful things. The three daughters with good hygiene habits were tortured and complained.

In view of this, after stepping into the territory of Beiyan, Shen Gui re-planned the route. And the first stop he chose for everyone to settle down and recuperate was the south gate of the land of Qilu, Tancheng.

This was originally an ancient battlefield, and it was also a place where ancient soldiers must fight. Time has passed, and today's Tancheng is just a small county town separated by dozens of miles from east to west; However, wherever the soldiers must fight, it must be the choke point of the traffic between the two places; In a non-wartime state, it became a necessary route for caravans to travel between the two places.

The reason why Shen Gui chose to settle here is that in addition to the relatively thoughtful accommodation conditions, it is also because Tancheng is mixed, and the three sects and nine streams often haunt here; As the so-called big hidden in the city, then his own line of people will not be particularly eye-catching.

Under Shen Gui's encouragement to quench their thirst, everyone slowly approached the ground of Tancheng. According to the news that Qi Hui inquired about during the day, as long as he bypassed the mountain bay in front of him and walked about fifteen miles to the east, he entered the territory of Tancheng after crossing the bridge.

However, the broken carriage that everyone was riding had just turned out of the corner of the mountain, and Shen Gui, who was in charge, stopped the horse without warning, and then stretched out his finger and lightly knocked on the carriage three times. His warning behavior also made the Zigqi around him feel different. However, as soon as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he felt Shen Gui tugging at his cuffs, and he didn't say anything more.

Shen Gui's lips opened slightly, and a vivid sound of night owls came out; Immediately afterward, Zigge only felt that the bottom of the carriage was light, and there was a sound of geese chirping in his ears. The night cries of the two birds echo in the mountain bay, which does not seem very abrupt, but has a sense of naturalness; However, Qi Geqi clearly knew that Qi Yan, the bastard boy, now didn't know where to hide......

Shen Gui's eyes stared at the pitch black in front of him, his left hand stretched back at the same time, and a short sword with a sheath was handed out from behind the curtain. He first tightened the hem of his trousers and clothes, then clamped the thunder to the left cuff, grabbed the hilt of his sword, and jumped out of the carriage silently......

Through this action, even a fool can guess a rough idea: apparently Shen Gui thought that there was an ambush ahead, so he used code words to order Qi Yan to come forward to explore the environment, and he himself went into the tiger's den to capture the thief. Even if Zigqi is also an old man, he didn't notice anything strange about this dark night.

At this time, Shen Gui, like a black cat catching mice, lowered his body on all fours and cautiously pushed forward; It was not until he had moved to the edge of a dense thatch that he suddenly swooped forward, and completely sank into the thatch, which was enough to be a man's height; At the same time, from behind a small Buddhist shrine on the side of the road, an agile figure also jumped out at the same time, and formed an angle with the direction of Shen Gui's pounce, and also entered the thatch......

Although the moon was sparse tonight, Zigqi could only barely see the shaking of the tip of the thatch. As for what abnormalities these two startled bastards found, he didn't have a clue at all.

If you don't understand, you can't understand it, and you can't relax your vigilance in the slightest! Confused, Zigge drew a saber from the bottom of the carriage and quickly jumped out of the carriage himself, preoccupied with his guard.

After about half an hour, the thatched Qi Yan returned to the vicinity of the carriage with a frown. Seeing that he was not injured, Zigqi completely relieved himself:

"Did you catch it?"

"Caught what?"

"The people who ambushed us?"

"Don't mention it, I haven't even seen a figure! Although judging from the traces in the thatch, it is true that someone has hid there; But who can say for sure which playful doll or the passer-by will go in and untie it? ”

Since Qi Yan hadn't seen the thief, everyone had to wait to ask Shen Gui in person. After about a quarter of an hour or so, Young Master Shen, who was covered in grass stalks, also walked back with a look of chagrin:

"Damn, let him run away!"

"Who let you run?"

"I don't know!"

After listening to this explanation, everyone rolled their eyes, and the carriage also drove in the direction of Tancheng again. However, Shen Gui himself was caught in the battle between heaven and man!

He had just seen with his own eyes that in the thatched bushes, a man was staring closely in the direction of the mountain bay. Although this is a wilderness, after all, when the sky is ugly now, even the bandits and horse bandits who are gathering near Tancheng have already passed the time to work! Besides, if this person is really a night detective released by bandits and horse bandits, since he can avoid the double attack of himself and Qi Yan, isn't it better to do anything than to fall into the grass!

In this way, Shen Gui was full of doubts, and finally drove the carriage to the river around the city. At this time, it was still early, and the gate of Tancheng had not yet opened, so everyone simply stopped near a small shed by the bridge, waiting for dawn to enter the city.

The first hour of the day is the most sleepy time of the day. The three girls sitting in the carriage had already slept under blankets; Qi Hui blocked the carriage door with his wide back, and the snoring was already loud; Siegge lit his cigarette pouch and sat thoughtfully under the shed to smoke; Qi Yan, on the other hand, has always been nowhere to be found, and may have hid in the canopy of a certain tree to rest......

Only Shen Gui, who was full of worries, returned to the thatched bush with two blades. He wanted to re-check the thatched bushes to see if anything was missing.

Sou!

An abrupt sound broke the silence of the night, and Zigge slammed the cigarette pouch in his hand and quickly ran towards the carriage! In the next moment, the old horse pulling the cart was hit in the neck by some hidden weapon, and after letting out a sad hissing before death, he fell to the ground with a bang. As soon as it lay down like this, even the three ladies in the carriage with Qi Hui were also overturned to the ground by it!

Zigge didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, he rolled forward on the spot, drew his saber from the bottom of the compartment with his right hand, and stared intently at a figure slowly emerging in the distance.

As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, Ziegge was surprised to find that this person was actually a head catcher wearing an official uniform!

Now it's the first moment of ugliness, and it's in the wilderness, where can such a head catcher come out and kill his old horse pulling a cart with a wave of his hand? Judging from his methods, this person does not look like a public man at all, but like those bandits and roadlords who block the road and rob money!

As for the skin on his body, it is not difficult to fake. After all, the bandits who have been in the business of "cutting soil (blocking roads and robbing)" for a long time have no shortage of any kind of skin in the cottage. Some of them like to dress up as a red and white wedding team; There are also locks who like to pretend to be gods and scare people; There is also a simpler and rougher lock, which directly swings a big tree in the middle of the road.

Although this place is extremely far from Nankang, it is also the land of the Northern Yan Dynasty after all. A robbery method like him that kills horses when he shoots is a bad break in the rules of the rivers and lakes!

You can't see white when you see red, you can't see red when you see white!
