"Who are you? Be honest! Otherwise, today next year will be your death day! ”

Liu Lan pulled out the dragon slaying knife and pressed it against the coachman's neck, his face turned pale with fright, and he cried out bitterly: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, I say, I say it all!" ”

The coachman was really frightened, and while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he trembled and said, "Good man, someone gave me a hundred silver cakes and told me to pull the good man to the west." As he spoke, he took out all the silver cakes and begged: "The hero gives you all the money, all for you, please spare the villain's life!" Spare the villain's life, the villain still has a seventy-year-old high hall to support, please! As he spoke, he knocked his head a few times.

"Who paid you to take us west!"

The coachman described the appearance of the person who paid for him, and when he heard a pair of eagle eyes, Liu Lan immediately screamed angrily: "You dare to lie to me!" The dragon slaying knife that had been withdrawn immediately hit his neck again, and the coachman who was about to be frightened was naturally under the coercion of Liu Lan, and he knew everything and said everything, how dare he tell a lie again, so Liu Lan had already believed him, and the reason why he lied or wanted to bluff him again, but he didn't hide it from his performance.

Just when he was pretending to kill the coachman, he was hurriedly stopped by Xiaoman, and said: "Brother Deran, although this person is bad, let him go, otherwise what will happen to the old father and mother in his family!" ”

She naturally guessed from the coachman's description who was making trouble behind the scenes, but she didn't tell Liu Lan, and she didn't believe that Liu Lan could guess where these people came from, but she didn't know that Liu Lan had guessed through the coachman's description that the mastermind behind it was the black-clothed masked leader that day, coupled with the coachman's Yingchuan accent, it was certain that the coachman was just bribed, and dispelled the intention of killing the coachman, but she didn't want Xiaoman to call him Brother Deran in order to save the coachman. He released the coachman, tied him up, and asked Zhang Fei to drive back the way he came, meet Guan Yu as soon as possible, and then come to a turtle in an urn to capture all those black-clothed people.

Zhang Fei driving. Liu Lan interrogated the driver in the car: "Where did the people who hired you want you to pull us to?" ”

"I didn't say anything, just let the villain pull the heroes all the way to the west."

"All the way west?" The destination of the official road that the coachman pulled them west was to Yingyin County, if the ultimate goal of those masked people was to make a move in Yingyin, it was too far, Liu Lan would find out sooner or later, that is to say, they would attack halfway, but I don't know if they had made any mistakes, and they have not appeared yet. ”

Liu Lan has fought with them twice, and they are not an army. But it is more organized than ordinary bandits, and the leader is also quite wise, when he found that there was no Xiaoman in the carriage, he immediately chose to evacuate, the purpose was not to be afraid of the three of them, but to lure Xiaoman to appear, and later Guan Yu appeared, in exchange for anyone would know the difficulty and retreat, but these people did not give up in the face of the threat of more than 10,000 cavalry. On the contrary, he followed closely like a lone wolf and waited for the opportunity, and now he finally saw the opportunity and suddenly attacked. But they didn't show up for a long time, which made Liu Lan very confused.

The black-clothed leader would never have made a rash move if he hadn't been prepared, but since he was prepared, and the carriage had been running west for so long, why hadn't he made trouble in such a secluded place? Is it really just a matter of a mistake? Definitely not, but if it's not, what's going on?

Thoughts in the heart. Could it be that these black-clad masked men had no intention of laying an ambush in the west at all? I was shocked, like a lightning strike, if they did not choose the west side of the ambush, it must be ......

"Not good." The more Liu Lan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. Gritting his teeth, he was vicious, and said, "What a move, please enter the urn!" ”

Xiaoman didn't understand what Liu Lan meant by 'please enter the urn', but he understood what Liu Lan's 'bad' meant, and was about to ask, but he didn't want Liu Lan to kick the coachman out of the carriage, and the coachman rolled off the car, his legs were weak, and he fell to his knees! Thinking about the dangerous scene just now, he was still frightened, where did he still have the heart to continue to pester Liu Lan and rob him of the carriage he relied on to survive!

And Liu Lan in the carriage shouted to Zhang Fei after kicking the coachman off the carriage, but he asked him to turn the horse's head and divert to the south, Xiaoman looked at everything and was inexplicable, but then as if to verify Liu Lan's thoughts, after the carriage was diverted to the south, Xiao Man was stunned to find a large number of black-clothed people pouring out of the remote forest in the east.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, the eagle-eyed old man who came from the Taoyuan Tavern was angry and roared: "Quick, chase me quickly!" ”

Liu Lan's actions really made Xiaoman stupid, looking at his eyes full of admiration, especially after seeing the angry masked leader behind him, he admired it again and again: "Brother Deran, you are too powerful, you are too powerful!" As he spoke, he grabbed his arm and said in a loud voice, "Brother Deran, how did you know that they were ambushed there?" How did you do it, teach me, teach me! ”

Pretending to be B in front of a beautiful woman, of course Liu Lan didn't mind, and said: "Actually, my true identity has been hidden from you......" said and pretended to be mysterious, when the little man's appetite was full, he looked solemn and said: "In fact, my true identity is an immortal from the sky to the mortal world, people call me 'God Operator', pinch my fingers, I know five hundred years before, five hundred years later, how can the black-clothed leader escape my fiery eyes!" After speaking, he pinched his fingers and pretended to say.

Xiao Man looked at his strange appearance, covered his mouth and smiled: "You are bad and stupid, even if you come up with a way to deceive people, you are stupid, saying that you are an immortal from the sky?" Then why don't you use the immortal method to deal with them, but hide south, and be embarrassed to say that you are a god operator! Do you calculate, will they catch up? ”

The detour to the south is to avoid the enemy's edge, not to mention that they are outnumbered, just having Xiaoman's female dependents is enough for Liu Lan to tie his hands and feet, so the best solution is to join Guan Yu first, and at that time, the dragoon army will go out, and these people are not ready to be captured? Of course, Liu Lan naturally wouldn't say these things, and he still pinched his fingers and looked like he was meditating, and he was not ashamed to say: "This is a heavenly machine, and the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, you don't understand!" After speaking, he didn't open his eyes, pretended to touch the goat's beard, and said with a fairy wind: "Do you need this great immortal to help you calculate your marriage." No money! ”

The more Xiaoman listened to her, the more unpleasant she became, especially at this time, Liu Lan looked like a god, and said with a smile: "Forget it, my marriage is excellent, don't be counted by you, a great immortal, and marry an ugly monster in the future." That makes me regret it, but I still don't want to work for you! After speaking, his big watery eyes turned, and he thought about it, and giggled: "Do you want me to help you calculate a hexagram?" If not, this girl will not take money! ”

Liu Lan thought about it, this girl dared to say this, she must not have any good intentions, and said with a smile: "I think it's better to forget it, don't be counted by you when the time comes." If you are the one I marry in the future, then I really won't be able to live for the rest of my life! ”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Man had already taken advantage of his inattention, twisted one of his big ears, was embarrassed and angry, and said: "Liu Lan with big ears, how can you say it, and talk about this girl's head again!" "Twist the breath hard. Regardless of Liu Lan's strange screams, he snorted: "Is this girl so unbearable?" If you can marry this girl in the future. That's your blessing, besides, how can this girl get married...... Marry you! ”

In the end, Xiao Man's eyes had become gray, while Liu Lan was smiling. "That's the best, that's the best." Don't you want to know how I knew about the ambush they had set up, but when the coachman described the appearance of the man who hired him, I guessed that it was the black-clad man who was playing tricks on him, and the black-clad leader was doing it. Otherwise, he would not have made a move, and it would have been inevitable to make a move, but he did not set up an ambush in the middle of the road, that is to say, he must have expected early on that we would find that the coachman was going in the wrong direction, and that he would turn his horse's head and reroute to the east, and if they were to ambush them again on the way they had to go, we would inevitably fall into the trap they had carefully prepared, and then we would not be so easy to leave. ”

"I see."

In fact, the man in black has been following Liu Lan, and when he found out that Liu Lan was only the three of them entering Xuchang County, he hurriedly made a plan, only to blame him for thinking that something big could be expected, so he showed up at the Taoyuan Inn, he knew that even if Xiaoman saw him, he would not inform Liu Lan, but he didn't expect that although the young lady did not inform Liu Lan, she chose to leave as soon as possible, so when Liu Lan entered the encirclement, the unprepared family members did not rashly make a move, but immediately reported the matter to the leader, but the leader who drank in the Taoyuan Tavern was not worried at all. Because he still has a backup move, he lets the family continue to ambush.

It wasn't until the old man came to the encirclement that the carriage they had been waiting for for a long time finally returned, but what the old man never expected was that Liu Lan had already found out about them from the coachman's mouth, and thus analyzed the old man's calculations, and turned the horse's head when he was about to be shortlisted, and escaped from the encirclement.

The old man pursued halfway, but he was never able to catch up with Liu Lan, so he had to retreat, and Liu Lan personally led the dragoon army back to the place of the incident after meeting with Guan Yu, but unfortunately the man in black had long since disappeared, and sighed, after missing such a good opportunity, it was not so simple to lead these men in black to appear, but he did not intend to give up, although they may not dare to appear again after this failure, but he still made a decision to change the route to the south and enter the territory of Runan, and ordered Guan Yu to delay, no matter whether he could bring out the man in black or not, he had to give it a try, otherwise, this evil breath in my heart is really difficult to come out.

Xiaoman didn't know why Liu Lan suddenly changed his route, and he didn't understand why he had to go south alone since he had suffered the loss of the order, and after asking, he knew that Liu Lan was going to Runan on this trip, but when Xiaoman heard the word Runan, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Deran, Runan can't go, you must not go, there are many yellow turban thieves there now, and there will definitely be danger." ”

Liu Lan smiled, he was the Runan who went to the Yellow Turban Thief, since the incident of Xi Zhicai, he can be considered to have understood, and asking Dong for his reputation has not played much role, these Confucian scholars are not able to serve him, since this is the case, then he can only aim at some martial artists, but like some well-known generals such as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, he has not sent people to visit, but he can't inquire about the news at all, since this is the case, he can only aim at the Yellow Turban Army, and listening to Xiaoman's tone of speech, it is even more solid Liu Lan's thoughts, Even Xiaoman knows that there are yellow turbans in Runan, so wouldn't a yellow turban general like Zhou Cang be captured, although he doesn't know their specific location yet, but there will always be a day when he hears the news, and he has another purpose is to lure the people in black out, and at the same time, he has to figure out why they don't have a relationship with Xiaoman.

Liu Lan's car arrived in Xiping when the sky was just dawning, the three hungry people in their stomachs were about to eat some dry food, but there was a thatched food shed on the side of the road in front of them, the three of them immediately put away the dry food, got off the carriage, and entered the shed after Zhang Fei parked the carriage aside, knelt down in front of the seat and ordered some porridge and side dishes to satisfy the stomach.

The owner of the food shed is only busy alone, in his forties, with a simple face, he came up to entertain Liu Lan and the three, there is no chicken, duck and fish meat in the tea shed to lower the stomach, they are all coarse tea and light rice, but at this time, where do the hungry three people still care about the quality of the dishes, and now they can eat a hot meal instead of gnawing dry food, which is the best food.

Soon, three bowls of porridge were put on the table, although it was just some porridge, but the three of them ate very fragrant.

Liu Lan and Zhang Fei each drank five bowls, that is, Xiaoman drank two bowls, and the three people who filled the Five Organs Temple boarded the carriage after checking out and continued to drive south.

It's just that they don't know that the shopkeeper who is hiding on the side has been looking at Liu Lan and the three of them coldly by the simple stove in the back, especially when Xiaoman took out the money bag, his eyes flashed, and in an instant, where was the honest appearance before, and then after Liu Lan and the three left, he hurriedly wrote something on the paper note, and at the same time grabbed a short-haired pigeon from the cage, crumpled the note into a long strip, put it in a small tube next to the pigeon's left leg, and let it go.

The happy shopkeeper was thinking about the big deal today, but he didn't want the ground to tremble violently, raised his eyes, only to see smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and soon a team of cavalry appeared, the first general carried a big knife, painted a green dragon, his face was like a heavy jujube, obviously with three locks of beautiful beard but was covered by the beard, behind him there were thousands of horsemen roaring by.

How could there be Han cavalry in Xiping? The boss rubbed his eyes, yes, the equipment and armor are all Han army costumes, this outfit can never be wrong, the shopkeeper vaguely recognizes that he had seen such an army during the Yellow Turban Uprising, the world-famous Northern Army, but didn't the Northern Army say that it was in Chang'an, how could it appear in Xiping?

Mother, could it be that the Northern Army appeared here to crusade against their Yellow Turbans!?

The shopkeeper was immediately frightened, hurriedly went to the stove room to pick up the pen and wrote the number on the silk paper, hurriedly grabbed a bobtail pigeon, threw it down the food shed and turned around and ran away, he did not dare to release the carrier pigeon in front of the Northern Army, in case of death, his little life would not be guaranteed.
