Spring is so strange, as soon as the sun is out, the temperature will rise a lot in a very short period of time. After staying in Jinyang for just five days, when I set off again, the wind blowing on my face was not so biting. The wildflowers on the roadside were sparsely blooming, and the grass was emerging from the ground, so that a few sparrows that had been starved to the bones in winter could only feed their hunger.

A pair of people and horses moved forward mightily, and the few pedestrians on the road avoided from afar. This is a border city, although there is still a long way to go from Yanmen Pass, but the population has been sparsely populated, sometimes you can't touch a village for more than ten miles, so this place has become a world of bandits.

The bandits in Taiyuan County are different from the Wonsan bandits, and the bandits here are all forced. They were originally the people in the vicinity, just because the Huns often visited, their homes were gone, the land was gone, and the food was gone, so many people hid in the mountains, and it was not strange that the whole village was the whole village. They cultivated land in the mountains, sometimes hunted, and only when they really had no choice but to come out to rob and hurt people.

Taihang bandits have another characteristic, that is, they are exquisite. Pay attention to the three don't kill, take the initiative to surrender and don't kill, obediently pay money and don't kill, and don't kill the poor. Only those caravans with escorts are their real targets.

When they came out of Jinyang, there were three or five small caravans following Su Ren and them, with a clear purpose of protecting themselves with the help of Su Ren's strength. Su Ren did not have any objection to this, and those businessmen were also obedient, following behind Su Ren's caravan, neither close nor far away, with a posture that the well water did not interfere with the river water.

The further north you go, the higher the hill gets, and sometimes the front team has already turned to the bottom of the mountain, and the back team is still in the distance. Ah Si likes to sing, and after the echo of the mountain, it is even louder, and occasionally there is a feeling of duet. Although no one else could understand it, Ah Si still sang while walking, his singing voice was melodious and tactful, and he could hear it for three or five miles when he went out in his voice. At first, the caravan behind them would let out a cheer, and when they entered the mountain, the people naturally moved away.

Su Ren had already taken off his robe, the weather was really hot, and he could feel hot when riding a horse: "Water, find me some water, I'm dying of thirst!" ”

Ying Guangji looked up at the sky, and the dazzling sunlight made him quickly close his eyes: "Why don't you rest!" People are sleepy and tired, and if they go on, there will be problems. ”

Su Ren nodded hurriedly and asked the wild bull to tell Hawking to stop and rest. Soon, the whole procession stopped, and the grooms pulled the mules out to the shade, and together they looked for water for the mules to drink. Su Ren also drank the water that Huang Shisan had gotten, and drank most of the pot in one gulp before he felt a little more comfortable.

casually handed the kettle to Ying Guangji: "What is this sky-breaking, it can cold people to death when it's cold, and it can heat people to death when it's hot!" ”

Ying Guangji also drank several sips, because of the heat, his face was flushed: "The heat is not good, the winter on the plateau is as long as six months every year, even if it is a summer night, it can freeze to death, it is still good in the Central Plains!" ”

"Want to come back? Are you willing to give up your Qin Sect? ”

Ying Guangji shook his head: "I knew that I wouldn't want to come back in this life after being tricked into going to the plateau, do you know how much risk I took to come down last winter?" To tell you the truth, I had 300 retinues when I set out, and less than 100 when I arrived in Tianshui! ”

"And you're still here?"

"Hey! There is no way, it is so poor, it can only be planted once a year, and the harvest of one dump is less than one-third of that of the Central Plains, and if I can't get back the grain this winter, half of my people will starve to death! ”

"As long as you have money, you will have plenty of food!"

"Hehehe! Can't you just give me some? Last time, when Brother Jing went back, he took more than a dozen truckloads of grain with him, why did he buy it when he came to me? ”

"Who can blame you, your eyes are red when you see that money, even if you are given food, you won't ask for it!"

"Hey!" Ying Guangji sighed: "People! Never know what you need! ”

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted the conversation between the two, and quite a few of the guards were already on their feet. Shi Bao jumped off the horse quickly, with a hurried expression: "Sir, someone is here!" ”

"Oh? Attracted them so quickly? How many came? ”

"There aren't many people to see, about thirty or fifty people, and there are twenty or thirty hidden in the nearby woods!"

Su Ren laughed and shouted at the thorns under the big tree in the distance who closed his eyes and recuperated: "Brother Jing, your business is here!" ”

Thorn turned over lazily and waved his hand: "Forget about thirty or fifty people, such an impatient guy can't make the climate, just enter the mountain and do it, just a group of fools, don't do it!" ”

Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Shi Bao: "Did you hear it, you don't need Brother Jing to go out, you can do it yourself!" ”

Shi Bao's face bloomed with joy, and he surrendered his promise, turned over and got on his horse, and shouted loudly as he ran forward: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Protect Mr. Good! ”

The grooms hurriedly gathered the mules and gathered around Su Ren. These horsemen are all Yuanshan people, they are very good at livestock, and the cattle they get from Qiangdi can be put on a halter and obediently go to the ground in only ten days, not to mention the docile mules. More than a hundred mules gathered in a big circle, all with their heads facing in and their buttocks facing out, surrounding Su Ren and the others.

On the outermost part were the thirty guards, their weapons already in their hands, one by one, on guard, just waiting for the last killing. Hawking stood single-handedly at the front of the entire team, his halberd across his chest, and his black armor did not shine in the sun. Everyone waited quietly, only Shi Bao rode his horse and rushed left and right, extremely busy.

Ying Guangji shook the folding fan and smiled: "Yes, these subordinates of yours can be regarded as warriors!" ”

"Not bad! Hehe, I tell you not to beat their ideas, no one will go with you without my consent. ”

"Ahem! Am I that kind of person? I don't dare ask for your men even if they give it to me, who knows when you give me an order they will raise their swords and slash at me! ”

"Count you as acquaintances!"

Hawking yelled in front of him, and even frightened the thirty or fifty bandits into standing far away and not daring to approach. Hawking laughed: "A group of cowards, they still want to rob their grandfather for this little ability?" Running into grandpa is your death! ”

With the reins of the horse, the black wind raised its front hooves and accelerated suddenly. One man rode a halberd and rushed over like a bolt of lightning. The bandits on the opposite side were obviously a little flustered, they couldn't imagine that this person would dare to rush over. When Hawking came violently, the row of bandits standing in the front either dodged left and right, or turned around and ran back.

Where did the two legs run over the four legs, and as soon as the first one turned around, he was pierced by Hawking's halberd, and the whole person was picked up and flew, and he couldn't bear to gamble.

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "It's still so rough, it's all farmers, why kill it!" When he died, how did the orphans and widows in his family survive? ”

Ying Guangji was really speechless, and looked at Su Ren for a long time before saying: "I remember what you said, it is called both being a ** and setting up an archway, and you are the portrayal of this sentence at this time!" ”

Su Ren glared at Ying Guangji: "I said something wrong?" Don't you think so? Or are you a cold-blooded person in the first place? ”

Win Guangji snorted: "Okay, I'm cold-blooded, you continue to sigh, watch kill another one!" This one is even worse, the head is gone. ”

Hawking is a fierce god, after learning the overlord halberd method, there is no place to use, today can be regarded as a meat, a halberd dance is flying up and down, and the blood flows like a river everywhere it passes. The bandit team of thirty or fifty people, except for the first few who fled, was killed without a single cup of tea. With such a killing method, those guys hiding in the forest didn't even dare to show their heads, and they all retreated silently.

A robbery was leveled by Hawking alone, and the guards shouted mightily. Hawking rode on the horse with a smile on his face, and walked over with his head held high, regardless of his own imminent blood.

The alarm was lifted, and the fortress surrounded by mules and horses slowly dispersed, and Su Ren came out of it. called Shi Bao: "It's really miserable to let people clean up over there!" ”

Shi Bao nodded hurriedly and beckoned people to clean up the scene. Su Ren was unwilling to step on the minced meat on the road, so he could only wait for Shi Bao to clean up before acting. The thorns were still sleeping under the big tree, and it was only then that someone noticed that the thorns had not moved their place when the enemy attacked just now.

On a flat spot on the top of the mountain beam on the left, Liu Hong stood quietly with a middle-aged man. They saw the following scene clearly just now, and when Hawking returned victoriously, Liu Hong took a deep breath: "Hawking's martial arts have improved again, and this son will be a fierce general in the future!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't answer, but asked, "The one who is holding the folding fan is Su Ren?" ”

Liu Hong shook his head: "This person's name is Ying Guangji, he is a former Qin relic, he went to the western plateau the year before last, and he came down from above a year ago, and he sent someone to kill Guo Jie, and the one who didn't wear a robe over there was Su Ren." ”

"Oh? I didn't expect Su Ren, who everyone in the world knew and everyone knew, to be so unorthodox! ”

Liu Hong shook his head and smiled: "Sir, don't underestimate this, but all wise people must have something to show off, so be more careful." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, since he dares to come to Saiwai, I will let him come and go!" The middle-aged man glanced at everyone under the mountain again: "Who is that?" was surrounded just now, only he was still sleeping under the tree, he must not be an ordinary person, right? ”

Liu Hong nodded: "Sir, good eyes, a few years ago, an elder of Ebony Cliff gathered dozens of people to go to the extreme north to look for immortals, and the rest all died on the road, only he came back alive, and it is said that he also brought back a white bear skin." ”

"So it's him?"

"Sir, acquaintance?"

The man shook his head: "I heard about this back then, but I didn't have time to visit, the elder went north, and then I heard that he died in the far north, and only one person came back alive, I wanted to ask what the immortal land was like, but I never had the opportunity, I didn't expect to meet here today." ”

Liu Hong pointed down the mountain: "If this is the case, I suggest that Mr. go and ask Su Ren, the reason why the Ebony Cliff elder went north was because he was bewitched by Su Ren, but he is a person who has been there and seen the immortals." ”
