A dry gravel road, a dilapidated oxcart with a squeaky old sound, passing through the dense fields, Li Zhe and an old man sat side by side in front of the ox cart, watching the old man throw the bullwhip to drive the ox cart.

The roads in this jungle are rugged, but the ox carts seem to be slow and urgent, and the long roads in the six central and southern provinces are far more useful than horses.

The old man's hand looked bone-chested, surnamed Zhang, but he was still a good hand when he got in the car. Zhang Laohan and his son and daughter-in-law were hired by Li Zhe and the three outside Hongshan County, and when the three of them saw that they could not find a joint in Hongshan County, they had to continue westward by themselves.

happened to meet this old man who happened to take his son and daughter-in-law to Phnom Penh, the capital of Khmer Province, Li Zhe and others took out money to take a ride, saving a lot of effort, and the old man also made a small profit, and everyone was happy.

While driving the car, Zhang Laohan tried to chat with his companions:

"This official, I see that you are also going to Phnom Penh to take the provincial examination, right?"

Li Zhe was stunned, what? Provincial test? Immediately saw Qiu Qing next to him desperately giving himself a look, and then realized that the three of them were dressed like students rushing to take the exam? Unlike Tianzhu, which did not have imperial examinations, the Great Song Dynasty had imperial examinations.

Moreover, because of the vast territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations over the years are on a grand scale, especially the provincial examination at the first level only once in three years, and the sons who are generally wealthy and wealthy have rushed to the local capital many days in advance to live and wait for the provincial examination, which is also in line with the current Li Zhe three people's personality.

"Oh, yes, yes!"

Li Zhe was busy fiddling with his mouth, thinking to himself, hehe! Where does anyone dare to test Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is almost the same as testing others.

When it comes to the imperial examination, Li Zhe immediately thinks of the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, and civil service examination in later generations.

There is no way, a politically stable and vast country must do this, such as Tianzhu does not have this demand.

The old man looked at Tia in the ox cart behind him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, hum! When I can't see that the chick you brought is a woman, I came out to take the exam and brought my female dependents, and at first glance I was not a serious reader.

This old man emotionally thought that Li Zhe was the kind of greedy and lascivious gentleman.

Of course Li Zhe didn't care, he didn't care what this old man thought of him, and even, his goal was not Phnom Penh at all, but just took advantage of this halfway car.

The so-called Pingshui meeting is like this.

A group of people, along the road until it was getting late, only to find a place to rest, this Khmer province was originally full of primeval jungle, barren land, even in the memory of later Li Zhe seems to be not very developed. But here, after hundreds of years of careful management by Haisong, the population that has been developed everywhere is no less than that of the mainland Jiangnan.

A few people found a place to stay in a wild village on the side of the road and rested for the time being.

worked hard all the way, even the physique of Li Zhe and the three of them couldn't stand it, and they almost lay down as soon as they hit the head of the bed.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhe suddenly felt a noisy sound, and he woke up from his dream, and in the dark night, he saw that Tia beside him had already woken up first.

The two of them heard the sound of wisps of horses outside, chasing soldiers?

In this place, there were very few people in the official palace who rode horses.

And in this wilderness village, if there can be a large group of horsemen, who else will there be if it is not a pursuer?

The two hurriedly dressed and cleaned up, went to the window and pointed a small hole with their fingers to look out, but saw that there were shadows outside, I don't know how many people there were, at this time in the courtyard where they were staying, there were already a few soldiers in soap suits and half-body armor on their chests came in, and asked a person, who was Zhang Laohan who didn't walk with Li Zhe halfway?

At this time, Zhang Laohan was questioned by the soldiers over there, he was ignorant, and finally stretched out his finger and pointed to the direction of Li Zhe's side!

Damn it!

Asked out!

Li Zhe instantly got rid of the luck mentality, regretting that he should have listened to Qiu Qing's suggestion and killed the three of them halfway and parted ways.

Li Zhe was still regretting this, and suddenly the courtyard lit up with a knife light like snow practice, the long knife flashed, and the two pursuers who broke into the courtyard spurted out two blood springs in unison, and the two of them seemed to be in disbelief, while desperately covering their throats, trying to cover the blood flowing out, coughing and coughing in their mouths, but unable to say half a word.

The sword light was put away, revealing that it was Li Zhe's own subordinate Qiu Qing.

I saw that this guy was expressionless, the blade was closed behind his back, his long body was jade, and there was no blood stains on his body, a legendary heroic demeanor.

Good boy!

Li Zhe finally saw the real martial arts master of this era make a move, this knife cut off the throats of the two people, with no more or no less, it happened that the throats of the two people had just been cut, the angle of the knife, the strength of the grasp is breathtaking, one blow will kill, and people can't send a warning at all.

Definitely a master.

Although Li Zhe himself is not very good at martial arts, after all, it is also in this era of cold weapons, and he also has some family heirloom martial arts, and he deeply knows the horror of being able to cut out such a sword.

With a knife, the master Qiu Qing's long knife at this time swung out again, but the target was Zhang Laohan and the three, Li Zhe had just walked out of the door, Zhang Laohan, Zhang Laohan's son and daughter-in-law, all fell under Qiu Qing's knife.

"Go through the back door!"

The smell of blood in the courtyard emanated, which quickly attracted the attention of the people outside, and the three of them did not dare to delay, and quickly ran away, until they ran outside the village, and there were indeed a few people outside the village who were watching a group of horses.

These local horses were apparently transported from the horse breeds of Yunnan Yunnan to be tamed and bred locally, this kind of horse is too small to be used as a riding horse, but after many years of hard work by Ma Zheng in the Great Song Dynasty, some mounts that can be used for transportation have also been bred. That's what is in front of you, of course.

Needless to say, this group of people was hanging behind the pursuers of Li Zhe and others.

A few people over there just saw the three of them, and they wanted to shout a few loudly, while they wanted to stop Li Zhe and a few people, and at the same time called for the support of the partners in the village, these people probably didn't want to see each other in life and death at all, and the order they received probably didn't have the order to kill the three people, and a few people hadn't drawn their own swords and firearms, and the attack of the three people here had arrived.

The three of them did not hesitate.

Li Zhe shook his hand is two shots, since he joined the army, all the kung fu he has practiced hard every day has been spent on this handcuff, he has long expected that he can really use it in the future, only this handcuff, this is his only life-saving kung fu, so this hand is extremely diligent. These two shots were also extremely accurate, and they felt like they were throwing guns in half a life.

THE OFFICER ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE SEEMED TO BE THE LEADER OF SEVERAL PEOPLE, BUT LI ZHE'S FIRST SHOT WAS AIMED AT HIM, AND THE IRON PROJECTILE PUSHED BY BLACK POWDER WITH A DIAMETER OF 15MM APPEARED ON THE OFFICER'S FACE DOOR THROUGH THE SPACE, AND THIS SHOT DIRECTLY PENETRATED THE FACE DOOR, OPENING A HOLE IN THE FACE, AND THE OFFICER FELL TO THE GROUND WITH HIS HEAD UP.

And Li Zhe's second shot was directly hit the arm of the second person, cutting off the arm that had just reached into his gun bag and was about to pull out the gun.

The guy immediately sat down, picked up his severed hand from the ground, and was terrified.

At this time, Qiu Qing and Tia, one holding a long knife, and the other holding two strange-shaped fork-shaped weapons, had already broken into the crowd of the remaining few people, and it was a rain of blood!
