Li Yan stepped forward, bowed down and said, "We are merchants selling goods, and this place is not a tax customs, so why do we inspect it?" ”

"Bandits are rampant outside the city, and we will wait for the military order to strictly check the people who come and go." The military academy shouted loudly: "Hugh has to talk more!" Just accept the inspection, dare to make the slightest move, and talk about the crime of banditry! ”

The officer on a white horse and wearing silver armor asked impatiently, "Did you just come out of Suizhou City?!" Is the car loaded with food?! ”

As soon as Li Yan heard this, he knew that it was the trick of the Ye steward, they had just left the city, so they sent officers and soldiers to block it here. So he looked up and made a look of answering, but he quickly checked the officers and soldiers. He found that none of these officers and soldiers had bows and crossbows, all of them were spears, waist knives, and a few with shields on their backs.

In fact, this garrison brother doesn't have any bows and crossbows, the Ye family, and the bows and crossbows of the Ye family's granary, as well as the bows and crossbows in his own family, are all taken out from his army. He only has more than a hundred soldiers under him, and he is still eating half of the empty salary, how many bows and crossbows can he have?

Li Yan was finally relieved at this time, and said respectfully: "The car is not loaded with grain, but iron, please ask the general to check it." ”

After that, Li Yan turned around and shouted, "It's all ready, let the military masters check it." At the same time, he blocked his right hand with his body and made a downward cutting gesture.

"Dare to smuggle iron materials?! It must be a bandit! The officer commanded loudly on his horse: "Go! Surround these bandits, and none of them will be released! ”

At this time, Li Yan hurriedly ran back quickly, but instead of running back in a straight line, he ran to the side of the road first, and then ran back again, so as to give way to his subordinates.

After Li Mu and the others received Li Yan's instructions, they all turned around, turned their backs to the officers and soldiers, and began to take out the bow and crossbow and waist knife from under the cart board. However, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, their performance was like turning around and running away.

After Li Mu cleaned up, he suddenly turned around, opened his bow and took aim, and shot an arrow at the officer who was still on the horse. Although he was only more than thirty paces away, in order to be able to hit with one arrow, he chose to shoot at the officer's body.

The officer noticed that someone had suddenly aimed a bow and arrow at him, so he subconsciously wanted to dodge. But as soon as he bent his body, the feather arrow pierced his left shoulder, and he fell from his white horse with this force.

At this time, Li Yan's soldiers also prepared crossbow arrows, and the eight people lined up on the official road, still shooting in odd and even rounds. The other two held the Yanling knife in both hands, and stood nervously on either side of the crossbowman, acting as flanking guards. They hadn't practiced this knife much yet, so they looked nervous. Blacksmith Zhou was the only one in the back to take care of the carriage.

The crossbow arrows were shot continuously, and those officers and soldiers had no armor, and even if they had armor, this distance could not stop the invasion of the crossbow arrows. Seven or eight of the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were quickly shot down, and the rest of the officers and soldiers immediately turned around and ran, but the crossbow bolts were still able to catch up with those who fell behind, killing or wounding them.

The officers and soldiers scattered in all directions screaming, some ran straight along the official road, and some jumped off the official road and fled from the bare fields on both sides.

"Run, they have crossbows."

"General Wang is dead, run."

"Mom, I've met a thief."

……

General Wang, who was lying on the ground, raised his hands weakly, trying to stop one or two of his men.

"Help me, save me, I'm not dead." General Wang endured the pain and cried in a low voice, but countless big feet ran past him, and no one would stop.

And there were four corpses around him, all of whom were General Wang's family members, but they were all solved by Li Yan and Li Mu.

Li Yan stood on the cart and observed the battle situation. He opened his bow and arrows and shot at the fastest fleeing officer, and ordered: "In a team of two, go and chase!" Don't let them run! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers said yes loudly, and then they raised their crossbows and swords on their shoulders and pursued the fleeing officers and soldiers in all directions. Li Mu also rushed out with a bow and arrow, picked up a spear from the ground, stepped on General Wang's white horse, and chased him out along the official road.

At this time, there were only Li Yan and two soldiers holding Yanling knives in the convoy, Li Yan glanced at them, they immediately came back to their senses, and chased after the officers and soldiers.

"Stop! Stay and watch the car! Li Yan hurriedly stopped them. When everyone is gone, what will happen to their carts? Li Yan also stayed by the grain cart, taking care of the horses back and forth, not letting them run around.

After a while, the two groups of soldiers came back first, and reported in frustration: "General, only five have caught up, and the others have disappeared." ”

Li Yan didn't reprimand, and ordered: "Okay, you guys take a rest, by the way, take care of the vehicle, and I'll go see the officer." ”

He went to the officer's side and found that the arrow had pierced the officer's shoulder, perhaps to the bone, but it was not too serious. But the officer had been lying on his side on the ground, holding the shaft of the arrow with his hand, groaning.

When the officer saw a bandit leader approaching him, he immediately begged for mercy: "A good man, spare your life." My father-in-law's family has money and food, as long as you bring the news to my father-in-law's family, they will definitely exchange money and grain for me. A good man spares his life, spares his life. ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Yan looked up to see that it was Li Mu who came back. So he bowed his head to the officer and asked, "Are you the son-in-law of the Ye family?" ”

"Exactly, exactly." The officer immediately admitted. As long as they knew that it was someone from the Ye family, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him, he thought at this time.

"The butler asked you to come?" Li Yan asked again.

The officer nodded, and then denied it: "No, no, I was on patrol and happened to meet you heroes." ”

Li Mu suddenly came over and kicked the officer, scolding: "You dare to panic?!" ”

"Oh, don't fight, don't fight." The officer begged for mercy: "Return to the Ye family, that is a big family, raise people to enter the car, and here is the side branch of the Ye family." Also, the eight families of Guide are in contact with each other, have a close relationship, and support each other. As long as the good man lets me go, he will have a good relationship with the Ye family. In the future, whether it is money or Zhao'an, as long as the Ye family mediates it, it will definitely not let the heroes suffer. ”

“**！” Li Mu scolded, stabbed the spear into the officer's heart with one hand, and stirred it twice before pulling it out.

"Ahh You, you~" The officer screamed miserably, pointing at Li Yan and was speechless, his arm only lasted for a while before he fell down weakly, and there was no more sound.

"What are you doing?!" Li Yan glared at Li Mu and asked.

Li Mu said lightly: "I've run away a lot, even if I let him go, it's impossible for us and the government and the Ye family's Liangzi to reveal the past, so why waste time." Put him back, and our pictures will soon arrive in the counties, and there will be more trouble! ”

Li Yan had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said, "Such a good armor, I don't know if it can be repaired." ”

What they don't know is that the trouble this has caused them has only just begun.
