Xu Chu asked, and everyone's eyes fell on He Zhen.

He Zhen was praised by Zhou Yi as 'having literary skills', and he does have his excellence. But whenever there is a doubt, it can always be analyzed to everyone slowly and methodically, and it is often clear as soon as it is said, which makes people look sideways. He Yuangan is only twenty years old, and his maturity and sophistication can already be compared with those old officials who have been officials for many years.

But I heard He Zhen say: "Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are both famous heroes in Jiujiang County, and there are nearly 1,000 followers under their command, some of them are light heroes from Xia Cai County, and some of them are pulled from the county on the edge of Huaishui. They called themselves 'Jiu**' and plundered the passing official and commercial ships, and their minions extended to the four counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang and even Runan and Guangling, and the officials of the four counties were helpless against them. The heroes in Yangquan County were subdued by them half-pulled and half-dozen, and there is such a scene in the county today. "He Zhen, a scholar, can know the situation of 'Nine **' so carefully, and it seems that he has long been prepared to be a caring person in Shi County.

As he was talking, the lead in the crowd who was standing at the front suddenly shouted at the field on the right, "Who's there!?" ”

The crowd was shocked. Right now, it's getting dark, and the sky is tired of thick clouds, so it's inevitable that the vision will be affected. The roads, the forests, and the fields were all drowsy, and if anyone intended to hide, it was really difficult to find out.

How to say that the trick is also for Xu Chu's door, the first time he found that someone was hiding, and immediately protected Xu Chu. Although he was a scholar, he had always been committed to martial arts, and he always wore a sword on his body, and when he was about to draw his sword, he looked ahead vigilantly.

Hearing the sound, Dian Wei, who was on the side, immediately pulled out the double halberd and stood beside Xu Chu. The rest of the accompanying tiger guards reacted a little slowly, and after a while, they hurriedly surrounded Xin Bi, Shi Lu, He Zhen and others in case of accidents.

Raindrops dripped from the air, slowly and gradually.

In the twilight rain, more than a dozen men wearing scarves and short clothes stood up from the fields on both sides. At a cursory glance, these more than ten people were holding weapons, ring knives, long swords, and four of them were holding crossbows, which were far away at Xu Chu's side.

Xu Chu never expected that he would encounter robbers under his rule, and the hundred tiger guards in the county were accompanied by only twenty people at the moment. Xin Bi whispered to Xu Chu and said: "Fu Jun, there are not many thieves in this gang, but looking at their outfits, swords and crossbows, they must not be ordinary thieves cutting paths." ”

The folk customs of Lujiang County can also be regarded as strong, on the way to the county, Xu Chu has seen many fierce light heroes, young and strong, but when he saw the pomp of Xu Chu and others, he also carefully avoided it, let alone threatened with a sword. Moreover, although the management of weapons in this dynasty was very loose, and it was common for officials to carry swords and swords, sharp weapons such as bows and crossbows were not easy to obtain or affordable. The dozen or so people on the opposite side, not to mention the four crossbows, and looking at their positions, there is a clear division of labor, faint traces to follow, obviously they have received a certain amount of training, since as Xin Bi said: not ordinary thieves.

The group did not come out to respond to the words, but half-crouched on the ground like crouching tigers, as if they were going to attack at any moment.

Xin Bi, Zhao Zhao, and He Zhen are all knowledgeable people, and when they saw the situation, they guessed that these people were trying to delay them. In that case, there should be reinforcements in the back.

Only Shi Lu was very timid, and said again and again: "How is this good, how is this good?" ”

Zhao glared at Shi Lu fiercely, reminding him not to show cowardice, making people look down on their Northland scholars. Shi Lu understood and forced himself to settle down, but his legs were trembling a little disobediently.

Xu Chu didn't panic at all, not only did he not panic, but he also had the leisure to observe everyone's reactions. As mentioned before, except for Shi Lu, the rest of the people are quite calm, especially the moves, looking at his unhurried appearance, he should have learned swordsmanship since he was a child.

Xu Chu wanted to come out of the crowd, and everyone suddenly lost color.

The three of Zhao, Xin Bi, and He Zhen grabbed Xu Chu's sleeve to death, "How can the prince (Fujun) be in danger!?" ”

There is a saying in Sima Qian's "Historical Records": The son of a daughter can't sit down. Xu Chu's status is noble, and he should not be in danger as advised by Xin Bi and others. But Xu Chu has been in the late Han Dynasty for so long, and he has long since transformed from an ordinary young man into a 'strong and strong' Eastern Han Dynasty warrior, these thieves are only a dozen people, how can Xu Chu be afraid of them? Moreover, there is another thought, Xu Chu wants to let these four scholars who have just entered his small group but have not yet integrated into it see the martial arts of him and Dian Wei, you must know that several heroes who finally became great things in the late Han Dynasty - Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, their own martial arts are very good, and the 'heroism' of these three people is also one of the reasons why the heroes of the world are impressed.

Xu Chu smiled and said: "The gentlemen are kind, and the government understands it." However, in the past, the mansion could raise a knife in front of Dong Zhuo, and this time when he encountered a few thieves, how could it be hindered? Wait and watch. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Dian Wei, who understood and nodded heavily.

When Xu Chu walked out of the crowd, the dozen or so people on the opposite side all showed shocked looks. They didn't know the identities of Xu Chu and the others, but they could also see that these people were either rich or expensive, otherwise there wouldn't be so many warriors with armor and swords. It is precisely because there are so many warriors with armor and swords that they dare not move lightly. However, Xu Chu, who was hidden as the head of the crowd, suddenly came out of the crowd, and they couldn't help but think: What is this trying to do, to scare us away by being famous?

Just thinking about it, Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushed to the left and right.

Who is Xu Chu? Even if the soul is robbed, it will be called a general; Not to mention Dian Wei, a brave general who is rare to meet in the world! The majesty of the two tigers descending from the mountain suddenly made the dozen or so thieves panic.

"Shoot arrows!" Someone shouted.

As soon as the arrow landed, Dian Wei suddenly took out a few small halberds from his arms, shook his wrist, and flew towards the four people holding the crossbow with great speed.

There were two flutters, and at that moment, two people who reacted a little slowly were hit by the halberd, and their bodies flew backwards, and they couldn't see that they were alive.

The thief's face was as pale as earth, and the two crossbowmen who were still standing didn't care whether they were aiming or not, and immediately shot their crossbow arrows towards Xu Chu. Xin Bi and the others' hearts were all in their throats, if Xu Chu had anything in case, none of them would be able to escape it. Without taking his eyes off it, he saw Xu Chu's body slightly on one side in the hurry, and the two crossbow arrows were all shot in the air.

Afterwards, three thieves with swords in their hands rushed over, Xu Chu raised the ring knife, and the gold and iron intersected in the rain, and the bell bell! Under Xu Chu's huge strength, the three thieves retreated more than ten steps in a row to stand firm.

The thief was shocked, and Xu Chu was also a little surprised. For the three knives just now, he used seventy percent of his strength, leaving thirty percent of the crossbowmen who wanted to rush to the back. According to common sense, how could three ordinary people block eighty percent of his strength? The martial arts of these thieves are comparable to the tiger guards under his command.

Knowing this, Xu Chu has no reason to keep his hands anymore.

Three silver rays of light flashed in midair, and then a rain of blood splashed, but it was from the three thieves.

Dian Wei's side killed faster, and the double halberd in his hand had already cut down five people, and there were only four thieves left in the field who could still fight.

"Let's go!"

The thief drops his weapon, crossbow, and everything else he can throw away instantly, so that he can escape faster. Dian Wei also threw away the double halberd, chased after him in a few steps, and was about to make a move, but he heard Xu Chu say loudly: "Catch a job!" So he stopped for a moment, caught up with the slowest runner, grabbed him by the back and threw him to the ground.

Xin Bi, He Zhen and others breathed a sigh of relief. Although the whole process only lasted a few minutes, it also gave them a good taste of 'worrying'.

As the initiator, Xu Chu wiped the blood on his face with the rain, and smiled at them: "Gentlemen, what this government said is right, right? ”

Xin Bi slandered in his heart: You are happy, let us have palpitations for a while. But he said: "The prince of the house is really brave, and it is an eye-opener for him today." ”

Xin Bi had long known Xu Chu's bravery when he was in Yangzhai, so although he was surprised by Xu Chu's performance, it was okay.

What was really surprised was He Zhen, Zhao Zhao, and Shi Lu.
