On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Xun and Shi A were also very interested, and thought that Jing Wei was also coming, so they packed two large pots of corn and corn, and everyone in the post house had a share, from the husband to the post man. In this way, the horned millet still can't be divided, except for leaving some horned millet to eat by himself, there is still a lot left, and Jiang Hyun plans to send it to Wei Ju during the festival the next day. After all, when you go out, the local parents are your father's protégés, and it is still necessary to greet them on holidays, and you can't go to the banquet empty-handed.

Shi Aben didn't care about the shoulder injury, but under Jiang Hyun's urging, he also changed the dressing every day, and the strenuous exercise was also stopped by Jiang Hyun, plus he was young and strong, so the injury recovered quickly, and it was almost good, but it was not said to be healed, and he still needed to recuperate.

In the second half of the night, Jiang Hyun had already fallen asleep in his house. Because after all, in midsummer, the weather is getting hotter, and the quilt can't cover it, so he sleeps with a quilt rolled up, and the sleeping appearance is very sweet.

"Jiang Jun, Jiang Jun?"

"Ah...... Well...... Ah......h

"Jiang Jun?"

As if hearing someone calling him, Jiang Hyun let out a vague "um" again, turned over and was about to go back to sleep, but suddenly woke up. He suddenly thought that it must be Shi A who woke him up, and he also planned to take advantage of Shi Ah not waking up to give Shi Ah a a thread, why did Shi Ah wake up first?

Jiang Hyun squinted his eyes, and in his blurred vision, he could vaguely see that the person standing on the edge of the collapse was Shi A. Jiang Hyun cleared his throat and asked, "Ah...... Well...... Is it dawn? ”

"It's coming."

"Ah...... Ah......h How do you get up so early? What do you want me to do? ”

Not only did Shi Ah wake up from sleep, but he was already dressed, and his belt was tied now. He helped Jiang Xun up and said, "Jiang Jun, listen, there is a voice next door." ”

Jiang Hyun sat on the couch with one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other, listened attentively, and listened to the sound in the east. Jiang Hyun was completely sober this time, and reacted, and next door to the post house was the county temple. Before dawn, Wei Ju made such a big move at this time, it is very likely that it is related to Wang Qiao's case.

"Zitai, what time is it?" Jiang Hyun's question this time was firm and sober.

"It's late."

Jiang Hyun got off the bed, stood up, picked up the clothes on a few sticks, and said, "Before dawn, something must have happened to Wei Jun to make the people so excited." I'll change my clothes, and you'll come with me to see it. ”

"That's exactly how it should be."

Jiang Hyun got dressed, his hair was not tied up, he hastily tied a ponytail behind his head, the long sword in his hand, Shi A followed, and ran to the county temple.

At this time, the torches outside the gate of the county temple are as bright as day. Two hundred county guards stood in a row, Wei Ju was dressed in civilian clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist, handsome and elegant, standing on the steps outside the gate of the county temple, explaining something loudly, seeing Jiang Xun and Shi A rushing over, just as he had finished ordering what he should have ordered, he called the two over.

Jiang Hyun climbed the steps, saw the excitement on Wei Ju's face, and called himself again, guessing that Wei Ju had got the handle of the Zhang family, and he was going to attack Zhang Che, who was still sour dates. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wei Ju opened his mouth, he said: "Bo Pei came just in time, just received a warning that Kuangcheng Township was robbed. ”

Jiang Hyun was shocked in his heart, and asked again: "Kuang Chengxiang?" Is it Kuangcheng Township, where Zaoyang Pavilion is located? ”

"Exactly."

Although Jiang Hyun was angry in his heart, it flashed on his face, and then he calmed down and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

Wei Ju shook his head and said: "From Kuangcheng Township to the county seat, there are police drums to interrogate, and no one has come yet, so the number of bandits is still unknown." ”

Since the case of Wang Qiao, Wei Ju ordered to set up police drums in all townships and pavilions, and once something happened, the sound of the drums would soon spread to the county seat. Wei Ju was already asleep at the time, and immediately summoned the county guards after receiving the alarm and prepared to rush to support. The warning came from the east, along the official road to the east, and twenty miles away was Chengdong Township. After that, there is a small piece of hills, called Dwarf Mule Ridge, the official road crosses the Dwarf Mule Ridge, it is Kuangcheng Township, and then to the east is Changhuan County. Even if the county magistrate Huan has a police drum to summon the interrogation, it will not be transmitted here. Later, someone from Chengdong Township reported the alarm, and it was learned that the warning was from Kuangcheng Township.

Jiang Hyun asked again: "What is Wei Jun's plan?" ”

"There are two hundred people here, and one hundred are left to go to the city to defend it, and the county will take the rest of the people to rush there immediately. In the middle of the county, I have sent all of them, rode to the surrounding township pavilions, and summoned the brave to rush to help. "At the moment, the world is still peaceful, the hinterland of the Central Plains of Sour Jujube, close to Gyeonggi, there was no warning before, and there could be no rebellion, so Wei Ju is expected to be just a small group of bandits robbing the township, so there is no need for him to sit in the county and wait for him, and it is likely to involve the Zhang family, it is best to lead the team in person. As for leaving a hundred people to guard the county seat, it is just cautious.

Jiang Hyun nodded and said, "That's great!" Kuangcheng Township Jingwei, Hyun Zhiyou also, Hyun and Zitai are willing to be pioneers, and they will rush to it immediately. ”

Jiang Hyun is Jiang Tong's son, if there are three long and two short under his rule, Wei Ju will not be able to do well. So he hurriedly grabbed Jiang Xun's hand and immediately objected: "Bo Pei is righteous, I know it!" However, the situation is unknown, don't go rashly, it's better to go with us, and have a response! ”

Jiang Xun also knew that Wei Ju had concerns in his heart, but the three members of Lao Jing's family were very likely to be in danger, and he didn't want to follow these foot soldiers, and when he arrived in Kuangcheng Township, it might not be the hour.

"Wei Jun is kind, Hyun is disappointed." After speaking, Jiang Hyun withdrew his hand, turned around and said to Shi A: "Zitai, go back to the post house to lead the horse!" ”

Jiang Hyun insisted on leaving, but Wei Ju couldn't stay, let alone force him to stay, so he had to order someone to open the East City Gate immediately and let Jiang Hyun and Shi A out of the city first.

In the darkness of the night, the gate slowly opened, and the grinding of the doorway shaft was low and piercing, followed by the urgency of hooves, and with anxiety, two knights galloped out of the half-opened gate, and walked away.

The horses' hooves were like a shower, and the dust was blown away. Jiang Hyun and Shi A were anxious, from the county seat to Kuangcheng Township or to Zaoyang Pavilion in Kuangcheng Township, the official road was the nearest road and the best way to go.

Gallop along the main road, go up a gentle slope, that is, the dwarf mule ridge, cross the dwarf mule ridge, and arrive at the territory of Kuangcheng Township.

On the way, I met a pair of villagers on foot, trotting along the official road, about thirty or forty people, all young men, there were a few halberds in the team, but most of them were pitchforks, hoes, sticks and other farm tools. The direction in which this group of villagers went was also in the direction of Zaoyang Pavilion, and at a glance they knew that they were also rushing to support, which further confirmed Jiang Hyun's speculation that he was involved in Zaoyang Pavilion.

Jiang Hyun stopped them, drove forward, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Xun and Shi A are not wanderers in the county, they have an extraordinary bearing, and they are also riding horses, and they are also rushing from the direction of the county seat, so they dare not slack off, and replied: "Below is the pavilion chief of Hexi Pavilion in Nanhe Township, Nanhe Township, in the south. ”

After listening, Shi Ah slapped his thigh and said, "Sure enough, it's Zaoyang Pavilion!" ”

Jiang Hyun's heart was also tight, and he reluctantly pressed down his anxiety, and asked again: "When did the warning signal come out?" ”

"About two o'clock."

"At the time of the second watch? Although your pavilion is in Nanhe Township, it is also close to Zaoyang Pavilion, and the second watch has sent out a warning signal, at this time it is almost dawn, why do you only go to support now? ”

"This ...... The Han family has a law, and the pavilion chief is not allowed to lead his troops out of the country in vain, if it weren't for the county to send a herald to you, I wouldn't dare to go there......"

"Rats!" Shi A on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and his angry shout not only frightened the pavilion chief for a moment, but even the horse under his crotch became agitated. Shi A grabbed the reins, suppressed the restlessness of the mount, and said angrily: "The people of Zaoyang Pavilion are not my big Han people? Today, Zaoyang Pavilion was robbed, you sit back and ignore it, and you dare to hope for others to rescue you in the future? Dare to make a big gossip here! As he spoke, he was about to whip forward and lash a few times to vent his anger.

Jiang Hyun waved his hand to stop Shi A, but he didn't pay attention to the pavilion chief anymore, although he also looked down on him, and even became so angry that he had murderous intentions, but he also knew what the pavilion chief was embarrassed about. So he just said coldly: "Go!" "Just gallop away.

Shi Ah saw that Jiang Hyun had already left, and he also knew that it was important to rush to the aid of Zaoyang Pavilion, so he no longer cared about it and followed Jiang Hyun.

After sending off the two evil stars, the pavilion chief breathed a sigh of relief. A villager next to him walked over and said, "Pavilion Chief, who are these two people?" ”

"I haven't seen it either, but I can't afford to mess with you when I think of it." Looking at the direction in which Jiang Hyun and Shi Ah were far away, the pavilion chief said again: "That Zaoyang Pavilion has been robbed one after another, and it is not just that it has provoked some evil gods and ghosts. Li Shidu said, this Zaoyang Pavilion, it's better to go less, if it weren't for the county sent you, I wouldn't have go! ”

As he spoke, the villagers became more and more frightened, and the villager said, "Yes, Master Li, he must have seen something." This time I went to Zaoyang Pavilion, it would be nice if I let Li Shi go with me. ”

"Ah, yes, too! How did I not think of it? The pavilion chief patted his head and hurriedly said, "You go and invite Master Li over, let's go slowly, wait for Master Li, you must invite Master Li to go with you!" ”

"Good! I'll go back! With that, the villager ran south along the path.

Jiang Xun and Shi A were about to arrive at Zaoyang Pavilion, Shi A had sharp eyes, pointed to a black smoke in the distance, and said, "Jiang Jun, there is smoke there!" ”

Jiang Xun also saw that the location where the black smoke was coming out was in the Zaoyang Pavilion.

"Drive!" Jiang Hyun slammed the horse's belly and rushed directly into the pavilion where the portal was opened.

Jiang Hyun and Shi Ah rushed in from the west gate, and the pavilion was in a mess, the firewood of this family fell on the road, and the shelves of that family were scattered on the side of the road, and there were several corpses lying in between. From the pavilion to the east gate, the small half of the pavilion is on fire, the sound of "crackling" fire comes into the ears, and then at a glance, it is full of fire, and the smoke is filled.

The pavilion has been burned down, there are many people gathered in the open space in front of it, and there are many people in the safe places around to fill water to put out the fire, or carry knives and sticks around a private house in the south of the pavilion.

Looking along the crowd, Jiang Xun saw the back of Jing Wei in front of the crowd, holding a knife in one hand and a halberd in the other, and there was a big man standing next to him, and the big man only showed half of his back, but compared with Jing Wei next to him, he could see that he could be one zhang tall, with wide shoulders and a wide back, and his arms were as thick as the waist of an adult man.

The strong man was very eye-catching, but the matter was urgent, Jiang Xun didn't pay much attention to him, but got off the horse and walked straight behind Jing Wei on the side of the strong man, and Shi A also followed. Jiang Hyun stepped forward through the crowd, grabbed Jing Wei's arm, looked worried, and asked, "How?" ”
