It was already a moment for Gu Haotian and his party to leave Mutuogang, and after they arrived outside to meet Qin Sheng and the others, the three carriages set out on their return journey.

In the late spring evening, the countryside of Tokyo is just right, the fresh sweet air is painted with alluring green, the hard-working birds are shuttling low in the air to enjoy a day's dinner, and the occasional returning farmer, accompanied by an old cow, heads towards the smoke of the cooking in the distance.

Three horse-drawn carriages slowly walked through the charming rural scenery. The mountains and rivers are so beautiful and rich, but it is a pity that they will fall under the iron hooves of Hu Lu, looking at the quiet fields in front of him, Gu Haotian couldn't help but sigh. "Brother, why are you sighing, could it be that Mu Tuogang and his party still don't like you?"

Cai Yan was very proud today, not only made a lot of money, but also showed his face in front of everyone.

When Gu Haotian saw him asking, his heart moved, and he replied:

"There are still unsatisfactory ones in the ya, but my batch of horses is going to be transported to Hebei to get rid of it, there are many states and counties on the way, there are no official documents, and the road is probably very difficult, I am afraid that I will not be able to do the next transaction." "So what's the matter?"

Cai Yan made a lot of silver taels this time, and when he heard that he was going to cut off his financial route, he was a little unwilling.

"If the government can obtain the blank papers of the Privy Council and stamp the seal, I will have a way here."

"I'll go to the Privy Council to ask for some tomorrow, Zhao Zhongwu won't dare to refuse if he is greedy for horses."

Although Cai Yanei doesn't learn and has no skills, his brain is very sharp, but he thinks of the same thing as Gu Haotian and others.

"It's the best, it's just that Yaneimo said it's useful."

"I know this, how can I scratch the tail of those people." Cai Yan said proudly.

Of course, Gu Haotian was satisfied with this, which at least reduced the trouble for Shi Qian. A few people laughed and walked for half an hour, when it was nearly late and the birds returned to the forest.

"This forest is strange, and everywhere else is quiet, except for the birds that are still flying in the sky."

Yang Zaixing was young and curious, looked everywhere along the way, and suddenly found that this place was different.

When Gu Haotian heard this, he also turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a forest more than 100 meters away from the roadside, and many birds were flying on the treetops and refused to return to the nest. Could it be that there is something hidden in this forest? He couldn't help but put a question mark in his mind. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw a commotion in the woods, and then some horse's heads poked out of the woods, and in an instant a group of masked cavalry rushed onto the avenue.

"Not good! There was an ambush. ”

Gu Haotian shouted, and then shouted:

"The robbers are cavalry, and it is difficult to deal with them on the road, so quickly abandon the car and rush into the forest."

After saying that, a few people immediately got out of the carriage, and Cai Yan was already paralyzed with fright, Gu Haotian and Yang Zaixing were holding one hand, and several people ran towards the forest with all their might.

That Bian Xiang stood on the wheel, only to see him shouting sharply: "Qin Sheng, take the brothers to break off." He stabbed the tip of his knife in the horse's rump, and the horse neighed in pain and ran like an arrow towards the robbers' horses.

"Bian Xiang, don't be reckless!"

Gu Haotian heard a mournful roar from the horse, and looked sideways, Bian Xiang drove alone and rushed towards the enemy group, and couldn't help but be anxious, but at this time, the situation was urgent, and he was still carrying Cai Yanei in his hand, so he couldn't turn back, so he had to rush into the woods first.

In an instant, Bian Xiang's carriage was inserted into the bandits like an arrow, only to see him holding the reins in one hand and holding a knife in the other, blocking left and right, and cutting down two as soon as he received the enemy, and then retreated into the carriage and stabbed the horse's buttocks again, and the horse galloped forward like crazy. In just a few breaths, the carriage actually penetrated the enemy formation, and Bian was not seriously injured by the protection of the carriage.

Let's say that the group of bandits originally came towards Gu Haotian, but they didn't expect that he not only did not retreat but rushed towards the trees, but at this time they had already rushed to the avenue, turned their horses' heads and were waiting to chase them. But I saw a strong man driving a carriage in front of him with a fierce and fearful impact, and for a while the formation was in turmoil, and when he came back to his senses, the carriage had already rushed out.

I saw that the leading robber shouted "wow", and took the lead in prancing and chasing after Gu Haotian.

"It's the Jurchen, coming at us."

Xu Guanzhong was behind Gu Haotian's side, he understood many languages, and he could distinguish them immediately.

Gu Haotian knew the general idea as soon as he heard it, the Jurchens had not moved for a while, and he was a little lax, but he didn't expect that outside the city was the world of their cavalry. He looked up and saw that there was still a few feet away from the woods, and the enemy cavalry was approaching in an instant, so he shouted:

"Zaixing, you and Mr. will first protect the yamen and enter the forest, and I will turn around to resist for a while."

"Little official, you just have to go over, here we are waiting."

Before Yang Zaixing and Xu Guanzhong could speak, they heard a shout behind them, but it was Qin Sheng's voice, and after a quick glance, he saw that he had already lined up a thin formation behind him with the guards, Gu Haotian didn't have time to think about it, and ran straight towards the forest in three steps and two steps.

Let's say that Qin Sheng took the guards, and he was already following behind, and when he heard Bian Xiang's shouting, he quickly abandoned the car and inserted it behind Gu Haotian and the others, but fortunately, Bian Xiang drove into battle to save him a little time, and at this time he just arrived behind Gu Haotian and them.

"Brothers! What is the duty of the pro-guard battalion! ”

"Swear to protect the petty officials!"

"Kill!"

I saw Qin Sheng shouting vigorously and taking the lead in killing the enemy formation, but the rest of the team members were in teams of two, one for defense and one for chopping horses' legs. It turned out that the guards were all short weapons and could not pose a threat to the cavalry, and Qin Sheng had already deployed them before.

It was also a coincidence that the Jurchen cavalry had been attacked by Bian Xiang for a while, and the distance to the trees was short, and the horse speed could not be lifted, which created favorable conditions for Qin Sheng and them. At the moment of encountering the enemy, three or four horses were cut down to the ground, and the Jurchen offensive was temporarily blocked.

The Jurchen at the head shouted angrily, only to see the prancing horse soaring into the air and slashing obliquely, and the two guards facing him immediately lay in a pool of blood.

In front of the overwhelming Jurchen cavalry, in just a few breaths, more than half of the guards were killed or wounded, and at this time, Gu Haotian and the others had already rushed to the edge of the forest.

"Mr. Xu, I will hand it over to you two in the ya, and I will pick them up." Gu Haotian couldn't help Xu Guanzhong to say, turned around and left.

"How can I be so bustling!"

Yang Zaixing was already a militant, so he was willing to miss this opportunity, put down Cai Yan and then followed, leaving Xu Guanzhong helpless to pull Cai Yan back into the woods.

When Qin Sheng and others were in danger, Gu Haotian and Yang Zaixing arrived, and Bian Xiang also arrived in time later, and the three masters joined, the situation immediately improved, everyone fought and retreated, and when they reached the edge of the forest, there were only seven people left in the escort team of more than ten people, and all of them were injured.

However, the whole situation has not changed much, the Jurchens have lived in the old forests of the Northeast for a long time, although they cannot form a group impact, but the horses in the forest are also familiar, and they are determined to put Gu Haotian to death, and they will fight for their lives at any cost.

Gu Haotian and the others took advantage of the environment in the forest to resist hard, and they didn't know how long it took, but they felt that the light in the forest was gradually dimming, and the casualties around them were getting more and more. When he was anxious, he suddenly heard a shout from the road outside:

"Lin Zhong is a petty official!"

"Brother Sun An is here!"

As soon as everyone heard the great joy, Bian Xiang immediately shouted:

"Brother Sun An came just in time, come and kill the Jurchen captive."

Let's say that Shi Qian, Sun An and others came all the way along the west avenue, and when they were in a hurry, they heard the sound of fighting in the forest in front of them, and they were shocked, so they stopped and shouted. At this time, Bian Xiang, who listened to it, replied, and hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards the forest.

And Sun An is also a witty person, he knows that the horizontal knife camp has no advantage in entering the forest, and the sound of fighting is in the northwest of the forest, so he shouted:

"Brother Bian Xiang, you wait for an assault in the northwest direction, and I will answer outside."

The people in the forest immediately understood, and after Bian Xiang and Qin Sheng broke off, Gu Haotian and Yang Zaixing took the lead, and the group rushed to the northwest.

And the Jurchen leader in the forest was fighting uncomfortably, and suddenly saw the opponent rushing towards the outside of the forest, and his heart was overjoyed, although he also heard someone shouting outside, but as long as he reached the avenue, how could there be more or less Han people in his eyes, so he shouted "wow-wow" again.

When Gu Haotian and the others were breaking through, they suddenly heard the Jurchen shout, and the surroundings were much more relaxed for a while, so they took advantage of the situation to highlight the outside of the forest, and then retreated to the avenue under the escort of Sun An and others.

And the remaining twenty or so horsemen of the Jurchens also arrived on the official road, only to see them standing in a triangular formation, smiling and prancing horses rushing to kill.

And Sun An didn't allow the Jurchens to speed up calmly, only to see him shouting:

"Ten steps back."

But he saw the thirty people of the Hengdao Battalion retreating in unison, and they just retreated to a place more than ten steps behind the carriage.

"Han'er is shameful, how can a few carriages stop the Jurchen warriors."

The Jurchen leader shouted in Jurchen language, and the Jurchens screamed and rushed over, but when they opened the carriage, the speed of the horses was slow, and a cold light flashed in front of them, and in an instant, the first few horses were split in two.

The Jurchen leader stood in the middle of the team, looking at the tragic situation in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he found that the weapon in the hands of the Han people in front of him was very strange, but it was a knife several feet long, but this can't be so sharp! When he was wondering, he saw another cold light flashing in front of him, and he immediately fell backwards with an alarm. As soon as I heard a "kill", I saw a cold light on my body, and when I got up, the head of the horse on my mount was gone. He jumped to the ground, jumped on a war horse behind him, shouted a Jurchen word, then turned the horse's head and ran away without looking back.

As soon as the leader left, the rest turned their horses' heads one after another, and for a time the people were busy and crowded together. And how could Sun An let go of such an opportunity, and immediately commanded the Hengdao Battalion to cover up the past, but seeing the flesh and blood flying in the Jurchen camp, he screamed again and again, and finally only more than ten horses escaped.

Yang Zaixing and the others stood behind and watched the whole process, and were surprised by the power of the horizontal sword, but Gu Haotian knew in his heart, although the effect was good, it was mainly to take advantage of melee combat and surprise.

At this time, Sun An cleaned up the battlefield and came over to this side, Gu Haotian hinted to Shi Qian, and he immediately rushed over first.

"This benefactor, the grace of saving lives will not be forgotten, and please go back to the city together, and thank you again." Gu Haotian saluted to Sun An, who came over.

"Yes! Be! Be! The strong man is gracious, and he will return to the city together, and he will be grateful. ”

Poor Cai Ying's frightened soul just now was scattered, confused, and he didn't know what was going on at all, but he was just a little sober at this time, and he hurriedly followed Gu Haotian's words.

"I'm waiting for the Xijing Long Knife Gang, who are used to doing righteous things, and I happened to pass by today, and I only raised my hands, and I didn't need anything in return, so I didn't want to pass by." After saying a few words, Sun Ji beckoned his men to go west.

"True righteous people! True righteous people!" Cai Yan muttered, but he watched it for a long time.

Everyone immediately cleaned up the scene, and only five of the more than ten guards remained, but none of them were intact. Gu Haotian was not sad and angry, so he hurriedly sorted out the two carriages that were still good at the scene, and it was important to go into the city to save people.
