The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 was supposed to be a day to reunite with his relatives, but Zhao Yan spent it in the Tribute Academy, but he was not the only one, the rest of the candidates were the same as him, and none of them complained.

Looking back at the city of Beijing that was gradually moving away, Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, he was not sure if he would come when he tried next year. When he was in a hurry to participate in the imperial examination, Zhao Yan thought that he just subconsciously wanted to get out of the lives of the people at the bottom and become a person who could control his own destiny a little, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that there is still a trace of excitement in his heart at that time, a trace of excitement that he can try to change the rut traces of history.

Most people are restless, people who keep to themselves may be able to live their lives peacefully and plainly, but when they die, even their names will dissipate, and there are many restless people in this world, whether they are good people or bad people, the reason why they are restless may be for profit, or it may be for ideals, no matter what it is for, compared with those who are safe and self-conscious, the life of restless people is much more interesting.

Zhao Yan felt that he was not a peaceful person, many people just lived for the sake of living, he didn't want to be like this, he sincerely believed that he was living for interests, but in addition to chasing interests, he didn't mind realizing some of his inexplicable ideas by the way, such as the few people in ragged clothes and vegetables in front of him, he generously gave them the silver in his bag.

Zhao ...... Brother Zhao, where did this robber come from? Isn't the land of Gyeonggi always peaceful? Zhang Wenyuan's face was a little pale, he had never been entertained with knives and guns, and he was very uneasy.

Zhao Yan glanced at the barren environment around him from the corner of his eye, then looked at Li Er and Zhang Shun who were lying on the ground covered in blood, and asked Zhang Wenyuan and the trembling coachman softly: "How are your feet, are you running fast?" ”

The coachman and Zhang Wenyuan both understood what Zhao Yan meant, the latter shook his head, indicating that he couldn't run fast at all, while the former subconsciously touched his gray and white hair, glanced at the carriage with nostalgia, and then jumped off the carriage and ran, and the slightly old back disappeared behind the overgrown hill in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan were dumbfounded, and when the two came back to their senses and wanted to escape, several robbers who were counting the property obtained from the robbery surrounded them with scolding.

A round-faced black robber scolded another thin robber: "Cripple horse, you dog, how do you keep watch?" I don't know how to stop when people run away. ”

Not to be outdone, the thin robber replied, "Boss Hu, you can't blame me for this. You asked me to look at the sentry to see if there was anyone around, but you didn't let me look at the three people in the carriage, and my right leg was lame, and the old boy ran faster than a rabbit, and I couldn't catch up if I wanted to. ”

Another white-faced robber interjected at this time: "Okay, okay, run, run, run, this is not in the front of the village and there is no store, and it is almost dark, that Mrs. Che is not familiar with the land, even if you want to report to the official, you can't find the land, and when he calls someone over, we will leave a long time ago." Boss Hu, this business has made a lot of money, let's quickly solve the people, and then go back to share the money. ”

The last robber, who looked a little fat, also said: "Yes, boss, I haven't eaten for a day, and my stomach is so hungry that I feel uncomfortable, let's quickly divide the money and get some food." ”

The black robber Boss Hu looked at Zhao Yan who was standing in place and laughed twice, and then said, "Look at these two scholars, can you see anything?" ”

The fat robber glanced at Zhao Yan and the two of them a few times, scratched the back of his head and said: "The scholars look and dress similarly, these two people look shabby and poor, what can be seen." ”

Boss Hu smiled maliciously: "Erbao, you are wrong about this." Think about it, if they can carry dozens of taels of silver with them, and they have an entourage when they travel, how rich should their families be? Why don't we tie them up, and let them ransom them with money in their homes, I think we can at least come to this number. ”

Boss Hu stretched out a finger and shook it in front of several people's eyes, and the fat robber Erbao's eyes were a little straight and said, "My mother, one hundred taels!" Boss Hu, you said that just these two dry monkey-like guys, their family is willing to take a hundred taels of silver to ransom people? ”

The white-faced robber stretched out his hand and patted Erbao's head, and scolded: "Silly brother, what Boss Hu said is a thousand taels, you are really a commodity who has never seen the world, don't say that you are my brother in the future." ”

Erbao covered his head and muttered in a low voice: "It's like who wants to be a brother with you, I have known to bully me since I was a child, I have never seen the world, you are my brother, and you are also a goods, but I don't know what kind of goods you are......"

The white-faced robber glared at Erbao fiercely, and the bluffing other party immediately closed his mouth, and he didn't dare to let out of his breath.

The lame horse was holding a steel knife at this time, and said while gesturing: "Boss Hu, the two lying on the ground are still angry, should we make up for it again?" ”

Boss Hu glanced at Li Er and Zhang Shun, who were unconscious covered in blood, and after a little thought, he said: "As the saying goes, if you cut grass, you have to remove the roots, and if you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband." Ma Cripple and Dabao, one for each of you, send them on the road. Erbao, you and I tied up these two poor scholars and threw them into the carriage. ”

Although Zhang Wenyuan was scared in his heart, he also calmed down, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yan, and said hurriedly with a slight trill: "Brother Zhao, I am flat-footed, I can't run fast by nature, wait a minute, I will entangle that big black man and that fat man, you seize the opportunity to run quickly, and then ...... Then find someone to save me. ”

At this critical moment, Zhang Wenyuan can say such a thing, Zhao Yan is quite grateful to him in his heart, and reason tells him that he should do what Zhang Wenyuan said, so that the two may still have a chance of life, after all, these robbers are seeking wealth, and the leading black man seems to be relatively calm, and will not rashly hurt Zhang Wenyuan's life, but it is easy to say it when he escapes and abandons his friends in disregard of this kind of thing, but if he really wants to do it, it is not easy for people with a conscience.

Zhao Yan turned his head to look at Zhang Wenyuan, and was about to say something to refuse, but Zhang Wenyuan suddenly pushed Zhao Yan and pounced on Boss Hu who came over, and shouted hurriedly: "Brother Zhao, run." ”

Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly moistened, he really wanted to roar, and then pounced on Zhang Wenyuan to fight with the black man, but he couldn't live up to Zhang Wenyuan's kindness, at this moment, he really wanted to have an extra Gatling machine gun in his hand out of thin air, and then tear several robbers to pieces with a cold and hot rain of bullets.

Although the brain of the fat robber Erbao turned a little slowly, he was stunned for a moment when Zhang Wenyuan entangled Boss Hu, and after Zhao Yan staggered and ran a few steps away from him, he finally came back to his senses, and as soon as his brain was hot, he rushed in the direction of Boss Hu, and shouted in his mouth: "Boss, I'll help you." ”

Boss Hu threw Zhang Wenyuan, who was entangled with him like an octopus, to the ground, and when he heard Erbao's shout, he scolded angrily for being a fool, seeing that Zhao Yan was about to run away, he couldn't care about cleaning up Zhang Wenyuan anymore, so he just casually instructed Erbao: "You tie up this poor acid, take care of it." ”

Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help screaming when he was slammed on the ground, Zhao Yan couldn't help but pause when he heard it, as the saying goes, Bandang knows loyal ministers, and sees people's hearts for a long time, Zhang Wenyuan is a humble gentleman, with a warm temperament like jade, but at the critical moment, he is willing to sacrifice his life to create an opportunity for Zhao Yan to escape, Zhao Yan only feels that there seems to be a thousand jun under his feet at the moment, but the steps of escape can not be taken out.

"For decades in the world, life and death have their own lives." Zhao Yan sighed softly, and suddenly picked up a stone the size of a bowl and rushed towards the way he came.

Boss Hu saw Zhao Yan go and return, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was the culprit who made Li Er and Zhang Shun covered in blood, and he was still unconscious, and his skills were extraordinary, at this time, he directly ignored the stone in Zhao Yan's hand, and grabbed Zhao Yan's neck with the advantage of height and arm length, but at the critical moment, Zhao Yan's body was extremely flexible, he avoided Boss Hu's arm, and threw the stone in his hand directly when he dodged.

'Whew......' A miserable scream sounded on the ground, Zhao Yan didn't know where the stone hit the other party when he was confused, and at this moment, he saw that Hu Lao Da was rolling on the ground with his body bowed, covering his crotch with both hands, and his heart suddenly became clear, but he didn't expect that he threw it casually, and it actually hit the other party's lifeline.

Everything happened in just a few breaths, there dragged Li Er and Zhang Shun to the side of the road, and Ma Cripple and Dabao, who were about to swing the knife, were not slow to react, originally thought that the two scholars who were powerless would not be the opponents of Hu Boss, but they didn't expect the result to be like this, they hurriedly waved the steel knife in their hands and rushed towards Zhao Yan, and they also shouted loudly in their mouths, intending to make Zhao Yan cold with their momentum.

At the end of the road, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, which sounded from far and near, and a moment later a knight on a horse appeared in front of everyone.

The knight on the horse shouted as he rode his horse and charged, "Senior brother, don't be afraid, I'll come too." Look at how I clean up these robbers, and you can watch the show in peace. ”

This place is near Baiyangdian, Anzhou, only a hundred miles away from Shenzhou, Wang Lin thought that the carriage was too slow during the day, so he said hello to Zhao Yan, saying that he wanted to ride a fast horse back to Shenzhou first, Zhao Yan couldn't stop it, fortunately, the road was not far, and Wang Lin was not smart but tall and strong, and he rode a healthy horse with silver, so he let him go, but he suddenly appeared from the opposite direction at this time, and galloped on a horse, waving a thick wooden stick with a length of more than a zhang.

Look at your sister's play, you only have a tie with Li Er Zhang Shun on weekdays, and now the two of them kneel first, and you jump out again, in case something happens to you, Wang Dahu doesn't know how to curse me behind my back.

Zhao Yan was about to let Wang Lin run away, when he suddenly saw Boss Hu who was still rolling on the ground covering his crotch, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and he shouted viciously to Wang Lin who was galloping: "Senior brother, have you seen that white-faced robber?" I'll ride a horse and kill him first. ”
