When the day of Zu Ti's departure came, the Sili Mansion was busy, and the yacha was counting the military supplies drawn from the arsenal and Taicang, and there were thirty or forty hired people, all of whom were loading the carts with grain, grass, ordnance, and a wagon of silver.

Zu Ti and Liu Kun patrolled back and forth, checking for possible omissions, just after the hour, everything was ready, and Captain Fu asked Zu Ti to take people on a journey.

This time, in order to ensure safety, the Sili Mansion mobilized one hundred sergeants in the house, ten catchers, fifty crossbowmen, and forty people, which is also a large team.

Zu Ti announced his departure, he stepped on the war horse, carrying a sword at his waist, majestic, and next to him was a young man, who was pretending to be Yunru.

Liu Kun and the crowd were quickly sent out of the gate of Sili Mansion and watched the team go away.

Yunru followed Zu Ti closely, and she said to Zu Ti enviously: "Big brother, you are so majestic, you really look like a general who goes into battle." ”

Zu Ti was afraid that others would see her identity, so he motioned for her to talk less, so Yunru had to pretend to be dumb.

Before he left the city, a person came in a hurry, and Zu Li saw that this person knew him, it was his good friend Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong is thirty-four or five years old, he used to be a doctor when he was in Taixue, and taught Zu Li and Liu Kun the Four Books and Five Classics.

Later, Jiang Tong went to the East Palace and served as the prince to wash the horse, of course, the prince was not responsible for washing the prince's horse, but a civilian official, waiting by the prince's side, with the responsibility of an advisor, of course, the person who can do such a position must be the prince's most trusted person.

Zu Ti dismounted and let Yunru lead, and he and Jiang Tong talked side by side, and now Yunru became a real groom.

"Brother Jiang, why is it so coincidental."

"It's not a coincidence, I came to see you off, but unfortunately I came late."

"How did the eldest brother know that I was going to Guanzhong?"

"Of course I know, and it's still the prince's meaning."

"Ah, the prince, how could the prince be. ……”

"That's the case, I often talk about you and Liu Kun in front of the prince, and the prince thinks that you are rare talents, and he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks when he inherits the unification in the future. Later, the prince disguised himself to compete with the people of Guiyitang, fortunately Liu Kun was not embarrassed, after meeting you, he wanted to promote you through Zhang Sikong, but at the same time you also need to experience, so the prince asked Zhang Sikong to propose that you go to Guanzhong in the court to pave the way for future reuse. ”

"It turns out that the eight-character beard that Liu Kun rescued that day is the prince, Brother Jiang, thanks to your recommendation, I will definitely complete this escort smoothly, and I will never embarrass Zhang Sikong and disappoint the prince."

"Okay, that's what you want, besides, when you come back from Guanzhong, the prince has more important things for you to do, so you can do it yourself."

"Don't worry, the eldest brother will not be dishonored."

"The road to Guanzhong is dangerous, be careful, I'm leaving, take care."

"Goodbye, big brother."

The two of them said goodbye, Zu Ti led the team out of Luoyang City, and marched to Hangu Pass, the only way to go to Guanzhong, at dusk on the second day, the team was still twenty miles away from Hangu Pass, Zu Ti ordered people to take a few steps closely, and strive to rest in the pass at night.

But after walking for two days, I only stayed in a small town for one night in a hurry, or camped on the spot, many people were tired, Yunru was too tired to walk, and the soldiers and people were even more tired, Zu Ti had to let everyone rest for half an hour, and they must go to the pass to spend the night at night, because there are imperial court garrisons in the pass, which is relatively safe, and there are high hills on both sides of the pass, and the trees are verdant, if someone ambushes them here, they will be very passive.

Zu Ti's worries were not superfluous, the people of Guiyi Hall had already lurked here under the leadership of the Four Great Dharma Protectors, and were preparing to attack the convoy at this time.

Just after half an hour, Zu Ti immediately ordered everyone to continue to hurry, the wheels did not move, more than a dozen torches were dropped on the hills on both sides, and they were thrown directly on the grain and grass carts, many sergeants and catchers had not seen the scene, panicked and shouted, Zu Ti responded calmly, fortunately he thought thoughtfully, he was afraid that someone would attack with fire, and each car had already prepared a bucket, he shouted: "Don't panic, put out the fire!" ”

The sergeants extinguished the fire with all hands and feet, and Liu Gon above scolded: "Damn, the fire attack is useless!" Everyone is ready to go down and rob the silver and burn the grain! Originally, he expected that the burning of the torches would burn the grain and grass of the convoy and cause chaos, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the sergeants and rob the silver.

Zu Ti shouted again: "Everyone, pay attention, there is an ambush, protect the grain, grass and silver, and kill those who leave their posts without permission!" ”

The sergeants and the catcher quickly formed a circle around the car, and at this time, Liu Gon asked Liu Zhen and Liu Ji to take more than a dozen people to fly down with their faces covered, and the sergeants fought with them, and Yunru hid on the side like many people.

The people of Guiyitang have long been well-trained and fast, but after all, the sergeants and catchers have been trained by Zu Ti for a few days, and with the large number of people, it is difficult for the people of Guiyitang to win.

The two sides are scuffled together, and the bow and arrow are not easy to aim at the target, so it loses its effect

The two protectors Liu Ji and Liu Zhen were strong in martial arts, and they knocked down many sergeants, and Zu Ti took a leap, fell in front of Liu Ji, and started with him.

Zu Ti and the old man have been learning kung fu for a while, and now is the time to come in handy, under the competition between the two, Liu Ji feels that Zu Ti's martial arts have won a great victory in the past, and it is not so easy to win.

And Liu Zhen couldn't break through the encirclement of the sergeants at this time, and Liu Gon and Liu Yin on the hill and the rest of the people all rushed down when they saw it.

At this moment, all the sergeants could not hold on, and they were defeated one after another, and the wounded died, and the situation turned down.

Zu Ti fought with Liu Ji, and while seeing that the situation was not good, he used the light kung fu he had learned to rescue back and forth, but after all, he was the only one with high martial arts, and if there was no foreign aid, I am afraid that the whole army would really be wiped out!

Suddenly, four men came and joined the ranks of the Jin army, seeing that these four people were wearing Taoist robes, they were all strong men, and martial arts and the four protectors should be between them.

The four Daoist priests faced the three protectors and Hu Yanyi other than Liu Ji, and Zu Ti could concentrate on dealing with Liu Ji.

The sergeant once again took advantage of the large number of people, and forced a dozen of the congregation into a corner, as if they were about to be captured alive.

However, what is unexpected is that after a dozen people were dying and struggling, they all committed suicide by piercing their stomachs with daggers!

Liu Ji was anxious to turn the situation around, and wanted to take down Zu Ti, and dance the big knife like a phoenix dancing pear blossom, Zu Ti turned offense into defense, and it was really not a "magic knife"!

Liu Ji's knife skills are sharp, pressing step by step, and a move "Long River Sunset" is chopped down, Zu Ti blocked with a horizontal sword, and the two were indistinguishable for a while.

Yunru next to her saw that Liu Ji's sword skills were outstanding, and Zu Ti's martial arts were still lacking after all, so he wanted to help him, but how could he help?

Yunru saw a knife scattered on the ground, so she hurriedly picked up the knife with her mind, and said silently in her heart: "Go to death"! I saw that the knife was slashed towards Liu Ji's back as if it was being held!
